It is pretty clear the Trump campaign did something shady to help get dirt on Hunter Biden into the newsmedia right before the 2020 election, but have any of you really looked at what that "dirt" is and the type of people who had to have created it?
Few Republicans believe the laptop story and when you talk to them, they quickly admit they want to publicize the dirt and they don't care how it got to them. The blind laptop repair story is just too fake, but they don't don't care because the stuff looks so bad.
Much of what looks bad and is likely not fake are the pictures the NY Post shared once again on their front page. I came across them on Twitter following some threads to see what Trump’s base was up to and it's hard to look at. People share a masterbation pictures and comment "look at this gross fu..k… he should die" it's like they were sharing revenge porn and shaming the victim. But the lighting is bad and it's not something anyone would choose to keep. Looking at pics has the feel of looking at Abu Ghraib photos and the urge is to just report it to Twitter and stop looking. But then you look closer and there is something stranger about the pictures, the worst are sedated, taken by an unexplained third party and very staged looking.
Let's start the the most widely shared crack pipe picture. He did have a crack problem, I guess, so it seems real and has been on the front page of many major newspapers. But, is it possible to fall asleep smoking crack like that? Isn’t it a stimulant and you could fall alseep later but not while smoking (maybe it is possible worth asking someone..). How is it still in his mouth like that after he fell asleep and how did he tuck himself under the sheet without dropping the pipe? If he ever possessed the picture himself to remind himself how bad he looked smoking, why choose an asleep picture? Why did the photographer have to wait to take the pitcure till he was asleep? Why is it so well framed? Clearly a third party took the picture and at least staged it a bit and Hunter never saw it till it hit the newspapers years later. But who? How? And why? And how did it get to a blind laptop repair person?
There are also sex worker pictures and pretty sure it is in the Ukraine (a real journalist should check.)
It is pretty clear that organized crime or Russian intelligence took them for blackmail purposes (he was the son of a VP so how would they not have known if he regularly asked the hotel he was at for sex or drugs… if he even did that which it is not 100% clear he did).
So did the Trump campaign pay an organized crime group for blackmail pictures? Or did they work with Russia to get them? Did they steal a laptop from Hunter and put the pics on it or was the laptop 100% fake?
One picture in the NY Post shows a preteen looking (they look 10 or younger) girl in sexual clothes standing next to Hunter with his genitals exposed. You can't see the upper part of his body so could be fake but he is slouched and looks sedated or even held up from above where the picture cuts off. So even if fake (unless it was photoshopped), the blackmailers were likely child sex traffickers. So someone like Roger Stone paid child sex traffickers to get the pictures? Or if Russia took them to create dirt on Biden, sharing the pictures essentially paid for them and encourages the production of more. Asking leading questions to get a Q adjacent Republican (who just shared the picture) to this point usually involves asking them what they think happened to the kid after the photo shoot.
Which leads to a few more questions:
-
Why were people repeating Russian talking points on Ukraine the ones who brought this story back into the media now (you can search who but not just on the Right)?
-
What is the point? The laptop rallies the base but there isn't an election. It does show though that one can release staged blackmail pictures and people will blame the victim, so it may send a message to others who know they are blackmailed.
-
Isn't this a bit too similar to what we thought existed on Trump? Would it take more than someone having shown Trump a pic and never said anything else to get favorable actions on Russia and how would you ever prove that?
-
If organized crime did this to Hunter could they have similar things on celebrities, politicians, journalists and business leaders who were in Eastern Europe in the past 30 years at a shady hotel and asked the front desk for drugs or sex?
-
If blackmail requires more than drugs or sex, so staging rape, murder or child sex stuff to make it valuable. Organized crime likely has done this for years and has pics on a lot of people. What could a Russian troll farm do with pictures like this of random celebrities. If they shared it via links on social media to a rightwing US base… couldn't they create a hard core base that believes in a liberal elite conspiracy to abuse kids? Isn't it weird the people who promoted Pizzagate and early Q stuff are also proRussia and are again promoting the laptop story when Putin needs to call in favors for Ukraine? Were there actual videos made by someone for the “Frazzledrip” conspiracy and was any actors harmed in the making of those videos?
Ignoring Alex Jones as just crazy there are some very suspicious Twitter accounts associated with the conspiracies that combine level headed thinking and promoting the conspiracies at the same time… would just assume Right wing trolls and dirty trick types but some may be something else for ones that have access to actual Russian blackmail photos (they don’t even have to know the pictures are fake if they are staged and they may think they have “contacts” rather than that they are working with Russian intelligence).
-
How many times have the really crazy Trump circles referred to their seeing awful pictures and video that if only they could show you would disgust you with Hunter or others? Could some of then believe the disinformation campaign rather than just be driving it?
