Hunter Biden’s Conviction on Firearm Charges Is a Red Herring
Paul Craig Roberts
We now have matching news from the opposing camp. Just as Trump is the first US President to be convicted by a jury, Hunter Biden is the first son of a sitting president to be convicted of a federal felony.
This conviction of Hunter Biden leaves me unsettled, as does his likely pending conviction for federal income tax evasion. The real issue is the information on Hunter Biden’s laptop that the FBI was able for awhile to suppress and brand as “Russian disinformation.” This is under US law obstruction of Justice by the FBI. All responsible should, if US law is still enforceable, be arrested, indicted, and prosecuted. It would be justice to see the FBI in the dock after all the innocent people the corrupt organization has put there.
The laptop information is the real issue. It shows that the Bidens are a crime family and that Hunter was marketing abroad his father’s influence as Vice President and as President. It seems clear that Biden senior, “the Big Guy,” received payments from the influence peddling. Yet, not only did the corrupt FBI and whore media cover this up, the Justice (sic) Department directed attention away from the major crime by focusing the prosecution on minor issues. Hunter is convicted of lying on his handgun purchase statement by hiding the fact that he was a drug user, and Hunter most likely will be convicted of income tax evasion as he and his accountants could not report income from influence peddling without launching a federal case that would cast a net over father Biden.
MAGA Republicans are delighted with the verdict as it spreads the criminal accusation into the Democrat camp. MAGA Republicans do not realize that they are being manipulated and diverted from the main issue into a subsidiary issue.
Decades ago the Nobel prize-winning economist George Stigler pointed out that government is a private, not public, organization. Political campaign contributions purchase Congressional votes for special interest enrichment, and federal regulatory agencies are captured by the private industries that they are suppose to regulate, thereby serving private and not public interests. Fauci at NIH, for example, served the profits of Big Pharma’s Covid “vaccine” at the expense of the lives and health of millions of people. Today all sorts of American politicians are serving Israel’s interest at the expense of Palestinian lives and the honor and integrity of the US government. The same politicians are serving the profits of the military/security complex by widening the conflict in Ukraine and fomenting war with Russia, Iran, and China that could easily end in the extinction of life on earth.
There is no doubt that Stigler was right. I watched and experiences it during my quarter century in Washington. The public’s interest never enters into Washington’s concern.
There is no such thing as the “public interest.” In the Western world government is merely a tool of the greed of private interests. Voting cannot overturn this high level of corruption.
Founding Father Thomas Jefferson said that periodically the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants. It remains to be seen if Americans are up to the task of preserving liberty.
Breaking News: US House of Representatives refers Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland for indictment for contempt of Congress

US House of Representatives refers Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland for indictment for contempt of Congress
Paul Craig Roberts.
Merrick Garland, Biden’s anti-gentile, anti-American-patriot US Attorney General, has just been held in Contempt of Congress by the House of Representatives. A referral to the Justice (sic) Department from the House of Representatives for Garland’s prosecution follows as a matter of course. https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/house-votes-to-hold-ag-garland-in-contempt-of-congress-5667466?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-06-12-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-06-12-4&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAceE5JjMByMKG77wDxNBNQoYsGSf8AwYnR4TN9A%3D%3D
As Garland is the Attorney General to whom his indictment is referred, clearly he will not accept the referral, much less stand down, recluse himself and allow the process to proceed. Even if he did, as the Justice (sic) Department is totally in the hands of the corrupt Democrats, no action would be taken against Garland for his contempt of Congress.
The issue is the refusal of the Justice (sic) Department to release the recordings of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interviews with president Biden about his illegitimate possession of, and inattention to their protected status, of national security documents illegitimately in Biden’s possession.
As the media reported, Special Counsel Hur concluded that Biden, unlike Trump, was too incompetent to be put on trial for a felony offense, in effect clearing Biden from indictment on the grounds of Biden’s mental incompetence..
In other words, the US President who carries with him the nuclear briefcase would present to the jury as “a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” So the Justice (sic) Department can happily proceed with its prosecution of Donald Trump but not of Biden for the same alleged offense.
So Trump, a president with the authority to declassify national security documents is on trial by the Democrats for having documents in his possession, but Biden a vice president with no such authority is protected for indictment for the exact same alleged offense because he is incompetent to stand trial.
This was too much for even the House to accept.
Americans being for the most part an insouciant, almost completely unaware people, have never comprehended the rising internal threat against them. They have been manipulated to see the threat abroad–Muslim terrorists, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea–but never Washington itself. To see their own government as a threat would be unpatriotic. This delusion leaves them impotent to oppose the theft of their Constitutional protections and rights as citizens.
The American patriots who attended the January 6 rally in support of President Trump had no idea that they would be manipulated into “insurrectionists” who would be rounded up and sentenced to long prison sentences for exercising their Constitutional rights to free speech and assembly.
American patriots naively believe that their rights really exist. But they do not. What exists is evil tightening the grip of tyranny.
