Hunter Biden has been a reliable provider of controversy and scandal for Joe Biden for years now.
When Joe Biden was vice president, Hunter, according to critics, developed a massive pay-for-access program when he took in millions essentially for providing access to his father.
Then evidence from the laptop he abandoned at a repair shop provided details that the “big guy,” identified as Joe Biden, even was in line for a percentage of one of those deals, which often were made with those from America’s enemies, Russia and China.
Then there was that evidence, including photographic, of Hunter’s drug dealings, lies on a federal form during a gun purchase, the prostitutes and more.
So there have been a multitude of campaigns to rehab him.
Constitutional expert and George Washington University Jonathan Turley, who has testified before Congress multiple times, cited the newest effort as the “Dark Biden.”
“Hunter’s handlers are reinventing Hunter in a more combative image. He is an edgy and aggressive antagonist ready to fight fire with fire against Republicans. A team was assembled to reportedly attack potential witnesses and critics. With a possible criminal indictment and congressional investigations looming, Hunter the businessman or recovering addict or victim will not do,” Turley explained.
That follows campaigns he cited as “Hunter: the wrongly accused international businessman,” “Hunter Biden: the victim of Russian Disinformation,” and “Hunter Biden: Heroic recovering addict.”
Hunter Biden already is known to be under federal investigation over tax issues, and GOP members in the House, now in the majority, have promised Congress will be looking into his activities as well.

In response, Turley explained, “Hunter appears to have acquired lawyers by the gross, including former Clinton counsel Abbe Lowell. Lowell recently sent out a letter that caused a stir by not only seemingly confirming the authenticity of the laptop but threatening a host of critics. Biden called for groups to be stripped of tax exemptions, suggested a host of possible defamation actions, and even demanded criminal investigations against critics.”
He noted Lowell recently defied a demand for evidence from the House Oversight Committee, thumbing his nose at Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky.
“Peddling your own inaccurate and baseless conclusions under the guise of a real investigation, turns the Committee into ‘Wonderland’ and you into the Queen of Hearts shouting, ‘sentence first, verdict afterwords,'” he charged in a response to Congress.
“Lowell categorically refused to turn over a single document to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), saying there was no ‘legitimate legislative purpose’ for the investigation into Hunter,” Turley said.
“The message is ‘fear us’ but it could not be less convincing than if Lowell put black tights and an eared mask on his client. It just does not fit. Congress clearly has a legitimate interest in investigating whether millions of dollars from foreign interests, including some connected to foreign intelligence, were funneled to the Biden family to influence President Biden,” Turley wrote.
He continued, “Emails repeated references not only Joe Biden and suggest knowledge of the dealings despite his repeated denials of any knowledge or involvement. There is also a clear effort to hide Joe Biden’s involvement. In one email, Biden associate James Gilliar instructed Tony Bobulinski, then Hunter’s business partner: ‘Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u [sic] are face to face, I know u [sic] know that but they are paranoid.’ Bobulinski has given sworn statements that he personally met with Joe Biden to discuss these dealings.
“Emails used code names for Joe Biden such as ‘Celtic’ or ‘the big guy.’ In one, ‘the big guy’ is mentioned as possibly receiving a 10% cut on a deal with a Chinese energy firm. There are also references to Hunter paying off his father’s bills from shared accounts,” he noted.
He said, “Code names, cuts for ‘the big guy’ and millions in mysterious foreign transactions are ample reasons for congressional inquiry.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.
This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.
This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.
Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.
That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
