'A magnet for conspiracy theories': Wikipedia kills entry for Hunter Biden's investment company

Wikipedia editors are under fire this week for removing the entry for Rosemont Seneca Partners, the investment company connected to Hunter Biden and his alleged multimillion dollar influence peddling schemes. The site bizarrely claimed that the company was "not notable." The timing itself is notable given the new disclosure that Hunter Biden's business partner, Eric Schwerin, made at least 19 visits to the White House and other official locations between 2009 and 2015. That included a meeting with then-Vice President Joe Biden despite Biden's repeated claim that he knew nothing about his son's business dealings. Schwerin was the president of Rosemont Seneca.

Wikipedia has been accused of raw bias in removing the entry at a time when interest in the company is at its peak, including the possibility of an indictment of Hunter Biden over his financial dealings. Rosemont Seneca is one of the most searched terms for those trying to understand the background on the Biden business operations.

Comment: Surprise Mr. Turley - Original intentions aside, Wikipedia is not the true and noble resource it promotes itself to be.

5 signs they are CREATING a food crisis

Food Crisis
© Off-Guardian
It's no secret that, according to politicians and the corporate press, "food shortages" and a "food supply crises" have been on the way for a while now. They have been regularly predicted for several years.

What's really strange is that despite its near-constant incipience, the food shortage never seems to actually arrive and is always blamed on something new.

As long ago as 2012, "scientists" were predicting that climate change and a lack of clean water would create "food shortages" that would "turn the world vegetarian by 2050".

In 2019, UN "experts" warned that "climate change was threatening the world's food supply".

Later the same year, the UK was warned that they could expect a food shortage as a result of "post-Brexit chaos".

By early March 2020 supermarkets were already "warning" that the government had been too slow to act on the coronavirus outbreak, and they might run out of food. (They never actually did).

A month later, in April 2020 when the "pandemic" was less than three months old, "officials" warned Covid was going to create a global food crisis. Three months later it had ballooned into "the worst food crisis for 50 years".

In the Summer of 2021 the British press was predicting the "worst food shortages since world war 2" and "rolling power cuts", allegedly due to a lack of truck drivers blamed equally on Covid and Brexit (neither the shortages nor power cuts ever really materialised).

By September 2021, the UK was told the gas price spike would create a shortage of frozen food, and just a month later, that we may have to ration meat ahead of Christmas, due to the gas crisis. (There never was any rationing)

In January 2022, Australia saw "empty supermarket shelves" blamed on the Omicron variant crippling the supply chain, while the US had the same empty shelves blamed on bad winter weather.

Moving into the spring of 2022, the food crisis is still on its way...only now it's because of the war in Ukraine, or China's "Zero Covid" policies, or the bird flu outbreak.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that - since the food crisis is always expected but never arrives, and is always blamed on the current thing - that it doesn't really exist. That it's nothing but a psy-op designed to spread panic and give suppliers an excuse to jack up their prices in response to fake "scarcity" created by the press.

However, there are indications that this may be about to change.

In a Brussels press conference on March 25th of this year, Joe Biden said...
Regarding food shortages - yes, we did talk about shortages, and they're going to be real."
...which is a decidedly odd thing to say.

Most of the time the only reason to strongly affirm something is "going to be real" from now on, is that up to that point it was not.

Indeed, there are a few signs that the food supply is about to genuinely come under attack.

What, not executed? Forensic study shows dozens of Bucha civilians were killed by metal darts from artillery

Dozens of civilians who died during the Russian occupation of the Ukrainian city of Bucha were killed by tiny metal arrows from shells of a type fired by Russian artillery, forensic doctors have said.


Comment: They can't go one sentence without introducing a stunning example of bias. This artillery is used by both Russian and Ukrainian military.



Pathologists and coroners who are carrying out postmortems on bodies found in mass graves in the region north of Kyiv, where occupying Russian forces have been accused of atrocities, said they had found small metal darts, called fléchettes, embedded in people's heads and chests.

"We found several really thin, nail-like objects in the bodies of men and women and so did others of my colleagues in the region," Vladyslav Pirovskyi, a Ukrainian forensic doctor, told the Guardian. "It is very hard to find those in the body, they are too thin. The majority of these bodies come from the Bucha-Irpin region."

Independent weapons experts who reviewed pictures of the metal arrows found in the bodies, seen by the Guardian, confirmed that they were fléchettes, an anti-personnel weapon widely used during the first world war.

Comment: South Front points out the obvious (follow link for images of the same artillery used by the AFU):
Talking about artillery shelling, this rules out any version that interprets the events in Bucha as "premeditated genocide of peaceful Ukrainians". A lot of evidences, such as the "scattered" position of the corpses, confirmed the contradiction.

As soon as the Russian Ministry of Defence claimed the decision to withdraw from the Kiev and Chernihiv regions, the AFU heavily shelled Russian positions in the towns in the Kiev region with artillery. The investigation confirmed that civilians were killed as a result of artillery shelling. The flechettes could be used both by the Russian and Ukrainian artillery. Russian forces deployed in Bucha could not shell on their own positions. Thus, the civilians were killed during the clashes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Austin: US would like Russian military 'weakened'

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Monday that the U.S. would like to see Russia's military "weakened to a degree."

The big picture: Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday.
  • Austin and Blinken promised Zelensky over $300 million in foreign military financing and noted that the U.S. had approved a $165 million sale of ammunition.
  • They also said that U.S. diplomats will return to Ukraine this week.
What they're saying: "We want to see Russia weakened to a degree that it can't do the kinds of things it has done in invading Ukraine," Austin told reporters in Poland.
  • "It has already lost a lot of military capability and a lot of its troops, quite frankly," Austin added. "And we want to see them not have the capability to very quickly reproduce that capability."

Comment: The U.S. is willing to see the Ukrainian military obliterated in order to "weaken" the Russian military. And they're willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, probably approaching billions, in order to do so. Will they succeed? Doubtful.

Musk victory: Reuters reports Twitter accepts Elon's original $43 billion offer

The world's richest man is set to complete his hostile takeover of Twitter for $43 billion, according to news reports.

Reuters released an exclusive saying that Twitter is "nearing a deal to sell" itself to Tesla CEO Elon Musk for "$54.20 per share in cash." That was the original price Musk offered when he launched his bid to own the company. Twitter may announce the deal "later on Monday once its board has met to recommend the transaction to Twitter shareholders, the sources said."

The latest development follows reports that Twitter was reconsidering Musk's offer after he secured $46.5 billion in financing to back his takeover. Musk was reportedly "exploring a tender offer to purchase some or all shares of the company directly from its shareholders" after Twitter's board failed to respond to his initial offer.

Trump showcases trailer of explosive '2000 Mules' documentary of the 2020 election fraud

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday evening played the trailer of the forthcoming explosive documentary "2000 Mules" which reveals a wide scale ballot trafficking network of ballot harvesters across several swing states. Trump played the trailer at the rally where he is campaigning with J.D. Vance, the candidate he endorsed for U.S. Senate in this year's Ohio GOP Senate primary.

The documentary, the product of a years-long investigation by election integrity group True The Vote and produced by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, has been long-awaited and is chock full of surveillance footage showing specific instances of people taking multiple ballots to drop boxes and making trips to several boxes around their states. The investigation has been anticipated since Breitbart News first revealed it last summer, and Trump has been hyping it for some time now in statements and commentary.

Former DNI says Dem law firm Perkins Coie 'subject to indictment' in Durham probe

John Ratcliffe
Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Sunday accused a leading Democratic lawmaker of intentionally peddling a false narrative against then-President Donald Trump ahead of the 2020 election to sway the outcome while adding that a noted Democrat-aligned law firm could also be guilty of a criminal "conspiracy" during the 2016 election cycle.

In an interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, Ratcliffe, a former U.S. Representative from Texas who left Congress to serve as DNI during the latter portion of Trump's term, pointed a finger at House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) as well as the entire Perkins Coie law firm, the latter of which could eventually be indicted by special counsel John Durham, he said.


Comment: The Dem's extreme corruption is all coming out. Question is, what crazy actions will they, and large swathes of the intelligence community aligned with them - do to distract, deflect and derail this process from serving any kind of semblance of justice? Very little seems to be off the table when its clear that Washington is guided by a high level of malevolence and greed for power and more power.

Twitter reconsiders Elon Musk's takeover bid after $46.5 billion in financing secured

Twitter is reportedly re-examining SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $43 billion offer to buy the Big Tech company after he revealed that he has now secured $46.5 billion for the potential buyout.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Twitter had been ready to reject the offer, but will take a new look at it after the business magnate revealed his filing with the SEC showing that he has lined up financing for the offer.

The financing includes $22.5 billion which will come from his own equities.

People familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that the revelation makes it more likely for Twitter to seek to negative the offer with Musk.

"The situation is fast-moving and it is still far from guaranteed Twitter will do so," The Wall Street Journal noted.

Former intelligence officials, citing Russia, say Big Tech monopoly power is vital to national security

When the U.S. security state announces that Big Tech's centralized censorship power must be preserved, we should ask what this reveals about whom this regime serves.

A group of former intelligence and national security officials on Monday issued a jointly signed letter warning that pending legislative attempts to restrict or break up the power of Big Tech monopolies — Facebook, Google, and Amazon — would jeopardize national security because, they argue, their centralized censorship power is crucial to advancing U.S. foreign policy. The majority of this letter is devoted to repeatedly invoking the grave threat allegedly posed to the U.S. by Russia as illustrated by the invasion of Ukraine, and it repeatedly points to the dangers of Putin and the Kremlin to justify the need to preserve Big Tech's power in its maximalist form. Any attempts to restrict Big Tech's monopolistic power would therefore undermine the U.S. fight against Moscow.

While one of their central claims is that Big Tech monopoly power is necessary to combat (i.e., censor) "foreign disinformation," several of these officials are themselves leading disinformation agents: many were the same former intelligence officials who signed the now-infamous-and-debunked pre-election letter fraudulently claiming that the authentic Hunter Biden emails had the "hallmarks" of Russia disinformation (former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Obama CIA Director Michael Morrell, former Obama CIA/Pentagon chief Leon Panetta). Others who signed this new letter have strong financial ties to the Big Tech corporations whose power they are defending in the name of national security (Morrell, Panetta, former Bush National Security Adviser Fran Townsend).
