FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE CENSOR NEW YORK POST

Unprecedented censorship by the nation’s two largest social media platforms Facebook and Google presents a new twist the 2020 election, where 74-year-old President Donald Trump finds himself running against the U.S. media not 77-year-old former Vice President Joe Biden. Less than three weeks before the election the New York Post publishes what amounts to an “October surprise” finding emails tying Joe to his 50-year-old son Hunter’s work in Ukraine while his father was vice president. Facebook and Google blocked access to the story reporting about emails from Hunter Biden and a Ukrainian official suggesting, at the very least, that Hunter threw around his father’s name to make connections with Ukrainian officials. But whether the Post story was verified or not, Facebook and Google should not censor U.S. news from an accredited news paper reflecting unfavorably on Democrat Joe Biden, and his son Hunter.
Hunter’s $83,000 employment on the board of corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings has been known for years. Biden’s campaign, including Biden himself, says the story’s been debunked, largely because it has direct bearing on Joe’s credibility as former President Barack Obama’s vice president but now as the Democrat Party’s nominee for president in the 2020 race. Regardless of today’s New York Post story now censored by Google and Facebook, there’s plenty known about Joe’s involvement running Obama’s anti-corruption task for in Ukraine. What’s not in dispute, even at Google and Facebook, is the fact that Hunter took a high-paying job with his business partner convicted felon Devon Archer on the board of Burisma Holdings. No one dispute those facts. What in dispute is the role Joe played in landing Hunter the job on Bursima’s board.
New York Post’s story is a bombshell because it provides incriminating emails that that Joe was directly involved in a pay-to-play or quid pro quo scheme in Ukraine to land Hunter and Archer the jobs on Burisma’s board. What’s also not in dispute is that Burisma was being investigated for corruption by former Ukrainian President Petrol Poroshenko. Biden’s campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said “Hunter did nothing wrong.” But with the New York Post story it’s not about Hunter doing anything wrong other that taking the money and run, it’s about Joe using his position as Vice President to enrich himself and his family. Apparently Facebook and Google thought the possible repercussions were so potentially damaging to Joe that they censored the story, violating their charters as Internet social network providers.
Whatever’s contained in the recoverd hard drive to substantiate the Post’s story about Joe’s pay-to-play must be so threatening to the Biden campaign to warrant Facebook and Google’s censorship. But contents of the hard drive are not the most compelling elements to the story that Joe engaged in egregious corruption in Ukraine and elsewhere involving his son Huter. Reports of Hunter receiving $1 5 billion is Chinese investors cash for a private equity fund, taking $3.5 million in cash from the Mayor of Moscow’s wife and of course his five-year-long job on Burisma’s board are widely reported. What’s been covered up by the media is Joe’s boasts Jan. 23, 2018 to the Council on Foreign Relations telling his story of threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees unless Porshenko fired lead anti-corruption prosecutor Viktor Shokin. J
Before fired by Poroshenko, Shokin was looking into corruption at Burisma holdings where Hunter and Archer worked on the board. Joe’s campaign and the press completely ignore Joe’s own statements, yielding statements from the campaign that it’s all Russian disinformation or, when that doesn’t work, saying the matter has been debunked as Joe likes to say. Joe doesn’t answer any questions about his son’s work in Ukraine. But when Hunter went on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Oct. 15, 2019, he told host Joy Behar that it was probably a mistake to have taken the Burisma job, because of the problems it’s causing his father. In that same interview on GMA, Hunter admitted that without his father he probably would not have gotten the job. So there’s no dispute from Hunter, that the whole thing was not a good idea.
Joe’s campaign likes to say Hunter “did nothing wrong.” But the matter of who did something wrong squarely lies with Joe and Vice President. There’s no provision in Joe’s oath of office for enriching himself or his family from his position. Post’s story reveals emails indicating that Joe met with Ukrainian businessman Vadym Posharski connected to Burisma Holdings. “We have reviewed Joe Biden’s officials schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post ever took place,” said Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates.” Bates knows that the former Vice President met with numerous individuals not on his official schedule. Doing everything possible to cover up joe’s pay-to-play corruption in Ukraine, it’s clear the Facebook and Google take the Post story serious enough to censor it.
