THE WAY I SEE IT   by Don Polson  Red Bluff Daily News   8/08/2023

What evidence of who lied?

For today, it’s “The Way I Allegedly, Reportedly See It.” It’s understood that assertions and reports here are alleged and reported elsewhere; I place credibility in them or I wouldn’t write them. The long-term veracity and born-out truth of this column stands the test of time; America’s left is defined by repeated patterns and tactics of dissembling, prevarication, fabulism and “big lies.”

It would be nice, refreshing even, to have a political atmosphere of “let’s agree to disagree” or a “to each their own” acceptance of differing ideologies and perspectives. That’s why America was formed; our Constitution, explained Founders Hamilton, Madison and Jay in the Federalist Papers, provided all the rules for government to ensure freedom and liberty for citizens of all persuasions.

Yet, this is the evident narrative in America in the year of our Lord, 2023: Self-serving Democrat politicians and leaders, supported by a politicized Department of Justice and its law enforcement arm, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (and lower-level prosecutors), are given widespread political encouragement by Democrat Party progressives, and media support from news behemoths and self-appointed network and cable enforcers of said Party.

They turn a blind eye to outrageous actions and crimes by their side, while shamelessly persecuting and prosecuting leaders of the opposition, criminalizing speech, thoughts and positions. Citizens’ expressions—held sacrosanct by inviolable First Amendment protections—is targeted and curtailed if it becomes too effectively critical of government policies and actions.

It’s proven by the indisputable revelations of the “Twitter Files,” exposed only because Elon Musk bought the company and saw the extent of governmental intrusion—thinly-veiled demands that communications diverging from official positions be suppressed. Set aside for now the social media censorship of COVID policy dissenters, their statements on the inefficacy of mask mandates, their questioning the protections afforded by vaccines, and attention directed at side effects and myocarditis stemming therefrom.

The Party and sycophant media line is “nothing to see,” “can’t prove Joe did anything wrong, let alone illegal,” but mostly “Look, squirrel!” (squirrel=Donald Trump). Meanwhile, 1) Hundreds of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) from six banks, show Hunter and Biden family and associates’ shady financial activities; 2) The FBI’s FD-1023 form documents a long-time, highly-reliable informant’s reports witnessing the corrupt monetary skullduggery that occurred between Hunter, Joe and Ukrainian officials;

3) Recordings of Joe Biden, on the phone, are said to be possessed by the Ukrainian involved; 4) The testimony of ex-Hunter associate Devon Archer, together with his interview by Tucker Carlson, not only proved Joe Biden repeatedly told some of the biggest whoppers ever peddled to Americans (he “never talked business,” had no knowledge, or had no involvement in Hunters affairs);

Archer also 5) defined for all to see that the “Biden brand” was literal access to the office and person of Vice President Joe Biden. 6) IRS whistleblowers revealed “sweetheart” Hunter deal.

There was no other product or service, possessed by Hunter, Joe or any of the 6+ Biden extended family members, that had any monetary value, commensurate with their remuneration. This is the long-established pattern of corruption in high (crime and misdemeanor) places: Supplicants enrich the “family,” in this case to include various associates; said payola gets distributed and filtered into shell companies (as happened here). The “givers” (of tens of millions of dollars in this case) as well as the “receivers” (with a cut for the “big guy,” known now to be Joe Biden) know exactly who has paid for the influence. It’s “Bribery.”

Saturday’s AP “news” story: While ostensibly on Devon Archer’s testimony, it kept inserting their “Trump” obsession and “Republicans pounce, seize, capitalize…” or, in this case, deflect from Trump’s indictments. It dutifully included the lie that “Archer said Hunter Biden was using the ‘illusion of access’ in Washington.” No, those were (Dem.) Rep. Adam Goldman’s words in his question to Archer, not Archer’s.

See “Here’s What Devon Archer Told Congress About Joe Biden… and It’s Damning” (Matt Margolis). Any objective American should simply observe the pattern (of a “weaponized” judicial process):

March/April: Hunter admits laptop is his, and testimony reveals Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents; first Trump indictment.

June: FBI documents show $10 million bribe from Burisma to Bidens; Mar-A-Lago indictment.

July/August: Hunter plea deal rejected, opening possibility of future FARA (foreign agent) charges—and Devon Archer testimony shows Joe Biden lied about his interaction with Hunter’s business; more Florida charges for Trump followed by indictment over Trump’s Jan. 6 activities.

That a prosecutor would file charges, let alone that segments of the public would give credence to the criminalization of protest, speech and expression by then-President Trump and his supporters on Jan. 6—cries out to the souls of the men who fought, died and created this nation out of the fire of freedom in their hearts. At some point—this charade of injustice being so illegitimately imposed through legal warfare aimed at their enemies—these usurpers of judicial process must be stopped and cooperation by their victims must cease. Tell them, “Go to hell!” President Trump.
