ANALYSIS โย Some of the same group of Democrat intelligence experts (aka partisan hacks) that spewed disinformation about the Hunter Biden laptop being a Russian intelligence operation, are now paid shills for the leftist Democrat disinformation industry known as Big Tech.
Asย I wrote about then, by falsely claiming the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation, โover 50 former senior former U.S. intelligence officials played a disgraceful part in this partisan disinformation charade to deliberately misinform the American public prior to the 2020 election.โ
In their latest foray, compromised and discredited former U.S. intelligence officials such asย Leon Panetta, James Clapper and Mike Morrell, all Obama appointees, have now signed a letter distributed on Capitol Hill by groups funded by the likes of Google, Meta, Amazon and other tech firms desperately trying to quash attempts to regulate them on antitrust grounds.
Their latest argument to defend the indefensible is that limiting U.S. tech firms could โenhance our adversaries' capabilitiesโ when it comes to โRussia's and China's growing digital authoritarianism.โ
But as the New York Postย reports:
Outspoken critics of Big Tech, includingย Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) andย Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), note that Clapper, Panetta and several other of the letter's signatories neglected to mention that theyย work for groups funded by tech companies, including Google, Meta and Amazon.
โThese signers are keen to have Big Tech censor so-called misinformation, yet these letters themselves are full of it,โ Grassley told The Post. โThey wanted to control the narrative then like they want to control it now: by removing all competition for Big Tech monopolists and censors.โ
Buck,ย who's pushing a bipartisan bill that would break upย Google's ad business, likewise said observers should follow the money when โformerly important peopleโ defend powerful interests.ย
โI'm not going to question the integrity of anyone specifically,โ Buck said. โBut you have to look at funding and how that provides motivation.โ
โThere is a cottage industry of formerly important people who receive money to take positions on important issues,โ he added.
Garrett Ventry, a former aide toย Grassleyย added:ย โAny attempt for these companies to act like they are concerned about national security while attempting to do business with China is utterly laughable.โ
This is especially valid sinceย Google has worked with the Chinese military,ย Apple stored data on Chinese serversย andย both Apple andย Facebookย have shared customer data with the Chinese government. The Post also reports that in a study publishedย Friday, Google, YouTube and Microsoft's Bing highly rank Chinese propaganda outletsย in search results.
As the Post's Editorial Boardย concluded: โthe hostile testimony from these โintel veteransโ amounts to strong evidence that Grassley and other anti-trust warriors are on the right track.โย ALD

The saddest news I heard today was the story about the US Marines and their rainbow bullets. The bastards in charge might be trying to “honor” gay pride but have none themselves. They are beyond shameless. They are irredeemable. None of them should remain anywhere near government after the elections. Nowhere near. Maybe some other country will have them. Maybe God will let them into heaven. But I for one am through with them in America and see no reason to let them stay here in a land they hate.
Rainbow fingernails like ‘Thoroughly Marxist’ Milley and Austin III wear are much cheaper.
