I recently finished the book Double Cross about the life of Chicago gangster, Sam “Mooney” Giancana.  The book tells the story through the memories of its author, Sam’s brother Chuck, and it paints an ugly picture of the corruption of every aspect of American government by organized crime figures, whose reach extended even into the Vatican.  I was familiar with Sam Giancana’s criminal exploits, but some of the revelations were frankly hard to swallow.  According to the book, starting in the 1920’s, Sam Giancana corrupted local police, elected officials, judges, governors, FBI agents, congressmen and even presidents.  Federal law enforcement largely was kept at bay by Giancana’s work with the CIA, which included running guns and other weapons to revolutionaries, assassinations of foreign officials, narcotics distribution (in which the CIA participated), not to mention the well publicized attempts to kill Fidel Castro.  If the book is to be believed, Giancana was intimately involved in securing JFK’s 1960 victory, the bay of Pigs invasion, the JFK assassination, and even the Watergate scandal.  If true, Sam Giancana was the Forrest Gump of the underworld.  In a nutshell, the basic message of the book validates Frank’s First Rule of Life – “The world runs on bullshit, and it never runs out.”  Essentially, everything the public is told by “honest politicians,” law enforcement, the media, and even the Church is a fraud, hiding the fact that a very few corrupt bastards are pulling the strings behind the scenes.  All that said, the book’s revelations were hard even for me to accept, until last weekend, when new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, began to release Twitter internal documents to reporter Matt Taibi about the extent of FBI involvement in the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story.  Let’s recap.  In April 2019, computer repair store owner Mac Isaac received a laptop from Hunter Biden, which Biden never returned to retrieve.  The computer contained, in addition to pornographic photographs featuring Hunter smoking crack with a variety of hookers, thousands of emails indicating payments to the Biden family from foreign nations, including Ukraine.  Mac Isaac correctly suspected that the evidence raised national security concerns and called the FBI.  The FBI took the laptop in December 2019, but not before Isaac had given a copy of the hard drive to Rudy Giuliani.  Giuliani gave a copy to the New York Post, which, along with Rudy, verified the authenticity of the material.  When the Post published the bombshell information in October 2020, Twitter, which already had banned President Trump from its site, Facebook, Google, and the rest of the lapdog media censored the reports as “hacked materials,” preventing any publication of or comment on the story.  As a result, Americans went to the polls in November 2020 blissfully unaware that irrefutable evidence exists proving that candidate Joe Biden is a crook who’s been selling his office for more than 40 years.  You know what happened.  The Twitter documents provide the previously missing explanation of why nearly all the social media, mainstream media, and print media outlets so quickly censored the laptop story.  Enter the FBI, now known in some circles as the Fascist Bureau of Intimidation.  It turns out that the same FBI officials who participated in the 2015-2020 spying on President Trump, the Russian collusion hoax, and the Crossfire-Hurricane attempted coup de etat, were behind the censorship of the Hunter laptop story.  For years, we’ve been listening to crap from Woke social media billionaires about how First Amendment freedom of speech doesn’t apply to them because they’re private companies.  We now know that that’s just part of the bullshit which makes the world go round.  Here’s the legal principle.  The Bill of Rights applies to the government, but not to private entities.  Thus, in criminal law, we have something known as “the silver platter doctrine,” which means that if a landlord, or other private citizen, independently uncovers evidence of a crime and turns it over to law enforcement, the evidence can be used against the defendant regardless of how it was seized.  But, if the cops “suggest” that the landlord go look for the evidence, that’s government action, and constitutional protections apply.  What the Twitter documents reveal is that the government, namely the FBI, directed the companies to censor the laptop story.  Social media, and presumably other media executives met weekly with FBI agents, led by one Elvis Chan, an agent whose post-graduate thesis argued that the Russians had gotten Trump elected in 2016 (don’t you just love a fair trial?) repeatedly warned Twitter and the others to expect “hack and leak” operations from “State actors” before the election.  The FBI knew the Post story was coming because it was monitoring Rudy Giuliani’s communications with the Post.  Twitter officials expressed concern that what they were being told didn’t meet the “hacked material” standard for censorship, but they were overruled by Vijaya Godde, Twitter’s head of Legal Policy and Trust (Orwell couldn’t have thought of a better title), who already had banned President Trump from the site, and General Counsel James Baker.  Is that name familiar?  Yes, the same James Baker who was Counsel for the FBI till 2018, when he left after disclosures that he had directed spying on candidate Trump, and the coup attempt on President Trump.  Simply put, the FBI knew the Russian collusion story was a lie made up by Hillary Clinton, but used it to frame Trump.  Likewise, the FBI knew the Hunter laptop was genuine, and that its contents were not Russian propaganda, but they used their position to affect the outcome of a presidential election.  In a sense, the FBI warning about interference by a “State actor” was the truth.  The State actor was the U.S. government, tampering to benefit its candidate of choice.  Both Baker and Godde were fired by Musk this week, but the damage is done, and I’m sad to say it makes the Sam Giancana book more believable.  According to Chuck Giancana, his brother got JFK elected on the promise of being left alone by law enforcement.  The Kennedys broke their promise and both JFK and RFK died at the hands of Mob and CIA operatives.  The Twitter documents prove that nothing has changed.  First Amendment freedom of the press has become Freedom of Suppress, and the government’s hidden puppeteers now decide what you may and may not hear.  Elon Musk and Matt Taibi are being castigated in the media, which somehow considers confirmation of the truth the equivalent of misinformation.  When the truth is what the government tells you it is, we’re done.  The White House reaction to the revelations?  “This is not healthy.”  Not healthy for whom?  Sam Giancana knew too much, so they whacked him.  I hope Elon Musk has good bodyguards.
