On Oct. 20, 2020, just before the Presidential election, a letter signed by 51 former top intelligence officials claimed that Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop ‘has all the classic earmarks of a Russian intelligence operation.’”    

It is important to notice who were the signers of this critical lie – they include John Brennan, Obama’s director of the CIA; James Clapper, Obama’s Director of National Intelligence; Leon Panetta, Obama’s other CIA director; Michael Hayden, George W. Bush’s CIA director (making this a bipartisan effort); and Mike Morell, former Acting CIA Director under Obama, who later testified to Congress that he drafted the Oct. 20 letter at the request of Anthony Blinken, then serving as one of Biden’s campaign advisers.  

It is also important to notice the content of the lie — this timely lie that the Russians were to blame for all the business with Hunter’s laptop. Worked like a charm.    

Since being elevated to Secretary of State, Blinken has repeatedly told us that the Russians one day in February, 2022 decided to launch an “unprovoked” imperialistic invasion of Ukraine. Russia is said not to have a legitimate security interest in the country with which it shares 1227 miles of land border and 199 miles of sea border.  

We are also expected to believe the Russians were:

shelling the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine while they were occupying it;

they blew up their own Nord Stream pipelines;

and earlier in this month of June, they blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam, located in Russian-occupied territory, thus threatening the water supply of Crimea, one more major act of ecological terrorism.

Back in December, 2022, it was reported by the Washington Post that the Ukrainian military had conducted a successful “test strike” of the Nova Kakhovka dam with a HIMARS missile supplied by the U.S.  

As we continue this madness of escalating in Ukraine, isn’t it time for blaming Russians to lose its charm?
