“Seek Yahweh while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts and let him return to Yahweh, and He will have compassion on him. Turn to our Elohim, for He will abundantly pardon.”
Isaiah 55: 6-7

Facebook and Twitter Have Gone Too Far this Time
Facebook and Twitter censored a New York Post article about Joe Biden’s and Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ukrainian energy oligarchs. See “Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad”:
Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.
The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.
An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.
The meeting to which Vadym Pozharskyi referred in his email to Hunter Biden may prove that Joe Biden was lying when he denied having had any contact with executives at Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy company that funneled a fortune to the Bidens during the Obama presidency.
Despite having no knowledge about the energy industry, Hunter was invited to serve on Burisma’s Board of Directors for a hefty fee. Burisma executives did not pick Hunter Biden’s name out of a hat. They asked Hunter to serve on their board to gain access to his father who was vice president at the time. It was a classic quid pro quo.
The emails referred to in the Post article may be smoking guns. The Department of Homeland Security has those emails now and is investigating the case. See “Hunter Biden emails under investigation by Senate Homeland Security Committee after hard drive report emerges”.
The fee paid to Hunter Biden for serving on Burisma’s Board was chickenfeed. Large amounts of money were funneled to Joe and Hunter in other ways, and everything was known about by the Obama White House. See “Just before Obama left office, U.S. officials feared Hunter Biden firm in Ukraine paid second bribe”:
Twenty-two days before President Obama left office, the U.S. ambassador to Kiev wrote top officials in Washington that she feared Burisma Holdings had made a second bribe to Ukrainian officials — shortly before a corruption probe against Hunter Biden’s natural gas employer was abruptly closed before Donald Trump took office.
The concerns are detailed in new memos belatedly released to Just the News under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State Department. The suit was brought on behalf of the news organization by the public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation.
Then-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch’s concerns were first raised in a Ukrainian news story about a Russian-backed fugitive lawmaker in Ukraine, who alleged Burisma had dumped low-priced natural gas into the market for officials near Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to buy low and sell high, making a bribe disguised as a profit.
The scheme was confirmed by U.S. officials before Yovanovitch alerted the top State official for Ukraine and Russia policy in Washington at the time, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, the memos show.
“There are accusations that Burisma allegedly had a subsidiary dump natural gas as a way to pay bribes,” Yovanovitch wrote Nuland on Dec. 29, 2016, noting the story “mentions that Hunter Biden and former Polish President Kwasniewski are on the Burisma Board.”
The Post article is a hard news story with lots of detail. Facebook and Twitter intervened to prevent the article from circulating on their platforms. See “Facebook And Twitter Limit Sharing ‘New York Post’ Story About Joe Biden”.
Why?
Many people believe that Facebook and Twitter are trying to help the Biden campaign. This is one example of the two companies acting on Joe Biden’s behalf. See “Facebook censors The Post to help Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign”.
There are other examples, too, but this one is huge, because it leads back to the attempt by Democrats to impeach President Trump for investigating Joe Biden’s alleged criminal activity in Ukraine. That was part of a larger Democrat campaign of dirty tricks that started as soon as President Trump won the 2016 presidential election. The bogus Russia collusion charge against the president was the Democrats’ first salvo.
Neither Facebook nor Twitter had any right to lend the weight of their platforms to support the Biden campaign. Both companies restricted the constitutional right to free speech that their users have by virtue of the fact that they are U.S. citizens.
In other words, Facebook and Twitter may have broken the law. If what they did is not a crime, it should be. Both companies need serious oversight, and they should be investigated for possible criminal wrongdoing.
Facebook and Twitter offered feeble excuses for their actions. See “After uproar, Twitter explains why N.Y. Post article on Hunter Biden was blocked”:
Hours after blocking a New York Post article from being shared in tweets and direct messages, raising an outcry from many, Twitter Inc. late Wednesday explained the reasoning, saying the main issue was images within the article — not the article itself.
Facebook Inc. also blocked the Post story from being shared, citing its policy for slowing the spread of potential misinformation.
Twitter’s explanation was laughable. Sophomoric may be a better description. Read the Post article. There were no image problems.
Facebook made reference to “potential misinformation” in the Post article, but every news article contains potential misinformation, especially now.
The establishment media has been trying to destroy Donald Trump and anyone associated with him since the president won the GOP nomination in 2016. The media went all-in when Trump won the 2016 presidential election.
Media titans like the New York Times and the Washington Post hired hit squads to take down the Trump presidency in its infancy, but they failed. Right now, they are doing everything they can do to prevent the president’s re-election.
For more than 4 years, the establishment media has been spreading misinformation and outright lies about President Trump every day, many times a day. None of the misinformation and lies have been censored by Facebook or Twitter. The social media giants waited until evidence of a real crime committed by Joe Biden emerged before they sprang into action.
Is that a coincidence?
I don’t think so. I think a jury would agree with me.
President Trump is furious. He should be. See “Trump Blasts Facebook, Twitter For Censoring Article Critical Of Joe Biden”.
I’m furious, too. I hope you are.
See “Twitter CEO admits handling of blocked Post article was ‘unacceptable’”.
“Unacceptable”? Try “illegal”. Facebook and Twitter have some explaining to do, in court.
