Live Thread..Hunter Biden's Trial..Guilty Verdict Reached

[mystery-ak]

BREAKING — Joe Biden has issued a statement in support of Convicted Felon Hunter Biden:

 “Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today. So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery. As I also said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that.”

I'm waiting to see what comes of Hunter's tax trials ... a magical adventure of following the Bidens' money ... possibly back to Rosemont Seneca and Rosemont Capital days and dealings.

Not sure they will risk another trial..I expect a plea deal...

Hunter might deserve to be in jail for something, but purchasing a gun is not it.

There are millions of marijuana users who own guns in this country, and none of them should be in jail for purchasing or possessing a firearm against current laws.

There is a FAKE statement attributed to Donald Trump going around RE: Hunter Biden's conviction. Disregard.

Remember, Biden’s Department of Justice tried to give Hunter a sweetheart plea deal until it blew up under questioning from the judge. DOJ then charged him with gun and tax crimes—not illegal foreign lobbying—to avoid exposing Joe Biden’s role in Hunter’s influence peddling. Hunter may be guilty of these crimes, but so are Joe Biden and DOJ of political corruption.

"[Hunter Biden] didn't deserve to be prosecuted, but neither did [Donald] Trump. But we live in a different world today where people are prosecuted for crimes not because of what they did, but because of who they are."

I presume everything is disinformation until otherwise proven by evidence and corroborated among multiple independent sources.

The timestamp on the CNN graphic says 6:21 PM ET. ... It's not 6:21 PM EDST, yet, in my plane of existence.

The source article is from The Babylon Bee.....

[DefiantMassRINO]

I'm intrigued by the process of laundering disinformation via the "conservative" media echo chamber.

Babylon Bee posts a BS article.

Some wannabe conservative Fox News book schiller, who is less disreputable than the original source, reposts it.

I presume a slightly less disreputable "conservative influencer" will repost it.

So, with each re-post, links of slightly greater reputability, are added to the chain of reputability in the hopes the disinformation goes viral or gets parrotted by mass media outlets.

So, a chain of multiple reposts launders the disinformation and washes off disreputability.

I'm intrigued by this dark social science of disinformation.  It's a more organized, mature, professional version of Howard Stern fans calling into live news broadcasts to punk the anchors and shout "Ba-Ba-Booey!".

So, the intent could be to have someone believe something untrue or to discredit reputable mass media outlets that make the mistake of parroti-ing an article originally sourced from the Babylon Bee.

Is Babylon Bee meant to be an online version of World Weekly News to supply click bait for advertisers or a foreign intelligence psyop designed to gum up and pervert social media algorithms to sow disinformation and distrust?

Is Babylon Bee an Internet version of the Jerky Boys, or something far more sinister?

You have a good point.  I had to click the TinyLink in the post in order to find out that's The Babylon Bee...It was the only way to tell.

Babylon Bee is probably well known enough at this point to be known as satire. It's the more obscure sites that are a problem.

I'm intrigued by this dark social science of disinformation.

Disinformation is sometimes very simple.

Like when the media calls something 'controversial' when in fact it is not.

Disinformation is sometimes found in silence. Like when the MSM refuses to discuss a topic at all.

It isn't necessarily all that complex.

Mass media isn't motivated by truth.

Mass media is about maximizing profit via advertising to the maximum number of viewers or listeners.

As such, every headline or lead needs to use language that evokes an emotional response to draw in viewers and listeners.

!!! STOCK MARKET MELTDOWN !!!
Market plummets in late afternoon panic
Experts say worst 2 point loss in history

The use of emotionally hyperbolic words and strategic formatting is key to attracting viewers and listeners within the first few syllables.

It's not misinformation per se because it's not blatantly false - the market is 2 points lower - but it is misrepresented information.

Not every 2 point stock market decline is the end of world, but, it's in mass media's profit interest to manufacture an outsized emotional response by using exaggerated stimuli to magnify the mundane.

It's Chicken Little on meth.

Hunter Biden trial juror says he didn't buy defense's 7-Eleven story
A juror in Hunter Biden's gun trial spoke out and insisted 'politics played no part' in the guilty verdict
By Jake Gibson , Chris Pandolfo , Adam Shaw Fox News
Published June 11, 2024 1:13pm EDT | Updated June 11, 2024 2:58pm EDT

One of the jurors in the Hunter Biden gun trial said the case was heart-wrenching, moments after the guilty verdict was handed down.

The 68-year-old juror from Sussex County, Delaware described the case to Fox News but said he didn't buy the defense's narrative that Hunter may have gone to a 7-Eleven to buy coffee — and said he thought he was probably buying crack-cocaine.

"Nobody is above the law, doesn't matter who you are," the juror said.

Prosecutors had suggested that Biden was trying to reach out and find drug dealers when he was arranging to meet someone at a Wilmington convenience store at 5 a.m. 7-Eleven was referenced in Biden's Oct. 15-16, 2018, text messages. Biden also wrote about the convenience store in his memoir, "Beautiful Things," explaining it was the type of place he would go to buy drugs.

You go to Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks for coffee.

You go to 7-11 to buy lotto tickets, off-brand cigarettes, overpriced milk, and to do shady deals with skeezy people loitering outside or nearby.
