Sorry Dowly.

You might have had a point if it did not refer to a business deal that happened when Biden was still in office or if it was not part of a pattern of influence dealing that goes back to when he was still a senator.

From Jan. 20 2009 till Jan 20 2017. That would be the entire two terms of President Obama.

In this wiki link I posted earlier in the first text it says

"...the laptop had been brought to his shop in April 2019 by a person who said that he was Hunter Biden. The person never came back to retrieve the computer.

I can't remember saying my name when I entered our local computer store with my laptop who had been acting weird.

From memory
Hi I have a laptop(toke it up from my bag)and lay it on the desk. then I explain the problems and he asked what my phone number was and he would contact me-When they have discovered the problems and what the price would be.

So WHY was it so important for this person to say he was Hunter Biden ?

Markus

I don't know how it's done in Europe, but here in the U.S. it is customary to leave name, number, & address when leaving real property in the care of a business. It is also known as "contact information", and ensures that the property gets released back to the rightful owner, and not just anybody that walks in off the street.

Even if it was all fake wouldn't there be a story of interest and a desire to investigate who, why and when it was created?

The statement Dowly is referring to was made about 4 months after Biden left office. However it refers to a payoff from a deal that was struck before he left office. It is also not the first time that the current potus was referred to by that name, at least one going back to 2013.

The (alleged) email refers to a deal they started planning in May of 2017.


Can we now get back to how the Twitter Files weren't a big deal or do you want to continue this?

Which refers to making a prior deal permanent:


Quote:

Another email — sent by Biden as part of an Aug. 2, 2017, chain — involved a deal he struck with the since-vanished chairman of CEFC, Ye Jianming, for half-ownership of a holding company that was expected to provide Biden with more than $10 million a year.
Ye, who had ties to the Chinese military and intelligence service, hasn’t been seen since being taken into custody by Chinese authorities in early 2018, and CEFC went bankrupt earlier this year, according to reports.
Biden wrote that Ye had sweetened the terms of an earlier, three-year consulting contract with CEFC that was to pay him $10 million annually “for introductions alone.”

Maybe you are right. 'cause I knew this computer guy very well and he knew who I was.

That account doesn't even track Musk's jet, it just uses the data any civilian aircraft has to transmit regularly while in flight. That data is easily available on the internet.

Exactly. Elon bans an account for posting publicly available inconvienient facts. Twitter is dead.

The true irony is: publishing flight records is protected under the first amendment, according to a US supreme court decision made back in 1979.

When you are no boring average Joe with three credit cars that all are overdue, but a wealthy man that is 190 bn coins heavy, you have a very different and far more more serious reason to be concered about situational updates on your family's exact locations and movements and positions being made all too easily available to a wide public. Its not as if kidnapping or assassination are just words and have never been seen done in reality. And being wealthy to such degrees as Musk is wealthy, are a very strong incentive for criminals to attack him, blackmailing him.

I am no fan of Musk, and I cannot stand this guy, though respecting some of his business success: success proves him right (and failures prove him wrong, of course). But Musk simply protects his family here. If I were in his place, I would have done the same.

That's nonsense. Data like that is easily available, there's quite a number of people whose private aircraft are being tracked like this, and it's been done for years, if not decades.
