Are you tired of being lied to?

We can’t trust most news shows to give us balanced true stories. It’s all about ratings. That is why I listen to news conferences and hearings pertaining to things that are important to me, like Supreme Court hearings, impeachment hearings, etc.

While listening to the Muller hearings, the inspector general’s report on the origins of the FBI’s Russia inquiry and the impeachment hearings, I was amazed at how incompetent and criminal the FBI and the intelligence agencies were. There was so much blatant lying and wrongdoing that it was apparent it happens all the time, and leadership was very comfortable setting up innocent people, such as Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, and weaponizing the intelligence agencies to go after political enemies. Then declassified documents showed former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were in on it as well.

Why would they do that? It was apparent they needed to protect themselves and their cronies. And of course, it was not reported on the nightly news. One agent was indicted for fraudulently changing documents and misleading the FISA court so they could spy on Carter Page who was innocent, and try to implicate Trump.

Flynn worked in the Obama administration in the intelligence agencies. He was doing audits because of things he saw that weren’t right. He was a threat to someone, and they needed to get rid of him. So he was set up.

A declassified note explained how they planned to set him up. The note was written by the FBI’s former director of counterintelligence: “If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give facts to DOJ and have them decide. Or, if he initially lies, then we present him (redacted) and he admits it, document for DOJ and let them decide how to address it.”

Then President Trump was a threat, so he had to be eliminated after his surprising victory in 2016. One pattern that is seen over and over again is that innocent people are accused of what the accusers have actually done, deflecting and projecting. It’s an amazing pattern, and since there doesn’t need to be a shred of truth or evidence, it works great. They put all the power of the federal government to work investigating some innocent person, and they have hearings, asking for example, “Why don’t you stop beating your wife?” Then leak the accusation to the press which runs with it on every network and it’s just rinse and repeat – for years. That’s when you see people like Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Jerrold Nadler or the disgraced James Comey, former FBI director, proclaiming lies to the American public and no one calls them on it. Soon it’s just believed by TV watchers who don’t have the time or the interest to really listen to any other side. After all the testimony and evidence is out, the TV stations, and The New York Times don’t recant it or make things right because it exposes their incompetence and outright bias.

As documents continue to be declassified after a tough fight, it is clear that Trump was accused of collaborating with Russia after Hillary and Biden actually collaborated with Russia and sold our uranium to them. The email scandal was also a problem so they had to build some kind of a case against Trump to deflect the light and blame from her.

There has been a lot of great journalism investigating this information with corroboration of state department whistleblowers and FBI agents who were sick about what they were seeing. Of course now, we also have handwritten notes from John Brennan explaining that the predicate to investigate Trump and Russia was Hillary’s idea and the now disgraced Steele dossier was paid for by the DNC and her campaign. It was all a lie and a set up against her political enemy who dared to win an election.

And it wasn’t just Trump, Flynn, Page and others. She also accused Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard of collusion with Russia.

It made great click bait, rage bait and increased TV ratings for years, while none of it was true. None of it. It divided America and worked to make half of America believe their president was a criminal.

Then as Trump was cleaning out the intelligence agencies, there arose questions about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. It appeared Hunter was flying around the world everywhere his father was on Air Force 2 and actually making deals in Russia, Ukraine, China, Iraq, Kazikstan, etc.with criminals, communists and corrupt government officials. Their entire family was getting rich, and Joe Biden was denying he knew anything about it.

Read Peter Schweizer’s book “Profiles in Corruption.” Schweizer and his investigative team offer a deep-dive investigation into the private finances and secret deals of America’s top political leaders. He uncovers corruption and abuse of power – all backed up by a mountain of corporate documents and legal filings from around the globe.

It was so hot that the mere question to the president of Ukraine was enough to whip the Democrats in an impeachment frenzy to protect the pair. They were saying that the president must be impeached and removed from office for raising a concern. But here are the other public groups that had previously raised the same concerns: The United Kingdom Serious Fraud Office; George Ken, deputy assistant secretary of state, Hunter Biden’s former business associate and ABC White House reporter; Good Morning America; ABC; The Washington Post; The New York Times; Ukrainian Law Enforcement and the Obama State Department.

What happened to transparency? I remember hearing Marie Yovanavich, who was the ambassador to the Ukraine testify to Congress how the only Ukranian company she was warned about was Barisma, which was corrupt and Hunter sat on the board. She was to just avoid it. Later Joe Biden would brag on video how he got Ukranian investigator and prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired who was investigating Burisma by threatening to withhold a $1 billion loan that Ukraine needed as they protected themselves from Russia.

Now we have not only Schweizer and John Soloman’s books, but Hunter’s emails to prove the corruption and fill in missing details. All of this is worse than Watergate.

How would they think they can get away with that? Because politicians have been doing it for a long time. Republicans and Democrats. The Clintons were masters. Hillary would fly around the world as our secretary of state, making deals with kings and countries and huge donations would go into the Clinton Foundation. It became an artform. Biden learned from the best.

The saddest thing is that Joe Biden trained his son to be the bag man. Hunter Biden closed the deals and held the money and whenever Joe Biden wanted a new estate, Hunter Biden would pay for it. We know for sure Joe Biden lied about not knowing what his son was up to.

In one of his emails to his daughter, Hunter Biden complained that she would someday have to support this family and unlike his father he wouldn’t demand to receive half her salary. Wow.

There were state department employees reporting secret meetings with people from other countries that were not on Joe Biden’s “official” schedule, which were against the law – you don’t put criminal activity on your official schedule. Now those meetings are completely corroborated through the emails. Are the emails real? The emails have had their metadata verified by the experts at The New York Post, the third largest newspaper in the country. It is owned by Rupert Murdoch, a guy with a whole floor of attorneys and experts to verify stories to protect his company against corrupt government officials or accusations. And wait for it, they are claiming Russian collusion again. Even though it was clearly Hunter Biden’s laptop. They think we are stupid.

John Ratcliffe, head of national intelligence, has said there is no evidence that Russia has anything to do with the laptop. Other recipients of the emails have verified that they are real and Hunter’s signature from dropping off the laptop is real. Again Schiff is on TV lying about Russian collusion. It is really unbelievable.

At what point are we going to get tired of being lied to? When are we going to stop being gullible, divided and angry and realize we are all on the same team? We have to work together to not let corrupt government officials and politicians ruin our country. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance – from our own politicians and government.
