Hunter Bidens Conviction on Firearm Charges Is a Red Herring by Paul Craig Roberts!

We now have matching news from the opposing camp. Just as Donald Trump is the first United States 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 Bidens laptop that the Federal Bureau of Investigation was able for awhile to suppress and brand as "Russian disinformation."

This is under United States law obstruction of Justice by the FBI.

All responsible should, if United States 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 fathers 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 Pharmas Covid "vaccine" at the expense of the lives and health of millions of people.

Today all sorts of United States of American politicians are serving Israels interest at the expense of Palestinian lives and the honor and integrity of the United States 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,D.C.. The publics interest never enters into Washington,D.C.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 United States of Americans are up to the task of preserving liberty.

Van Cliburn, Moscow, 1958 by Paul Craig Roberts!

The Cold War could have ended that year with the Moscow success of the American concert pianist Van Cliburn.
.
An American performed Russian music better than the Russian pianists. The Russians could have sabotaged Van Cliburn by leaving some piano keys out of tune or by the conductor changing pace on him. But the Russian conductor recognized greatness and contributed to it. In all my years of concert attendance I have never seen such an outpouring of applause, affection, and flowers with which the Russians greeted Van Cliburns performance. The judges asked Khrushchev, "Can we give the American the prize?" "Was he the best?" asked Khrushchev. "Yes." "Then give him the prize."

Today we are barbarians compared to the darkest days of the Cold War. We ban Russian musicians, artists, athletes, literature, impose sanctions, insult the President of Russia, and foment war. President Reagan, Americas last president, would never have permitted such barbaric behavior as now characterizes the White House and the American government. But perhaps we no longer have an American government.

At a crucial point in the Cold War President Reagan called Van Cliburn out of retirement to play for Gorbachev in the White House, and Reagan and Gorbachev went on to end the Cold War.

Now the Washington,D.C. barbarians have resurrected the Cold War in a hot and much more dangerous form.

Here is Van Cliburn performing Tchaikovskys Piano Concerto No 1, probably the most difficult of all piano concertos, followed by Rachmaninoffs Piano Concerto No. 3 and encores:

"please see here:"

Today Van Cliburn would be branded a "Russian agent-dupe" and he would be pulled off the airliner and his passport confiscated as he attempted to fly to Moscow to enter the Tchaikovsky competition.
