Where's Hunter?
2023-07-04
[PJMedia] The White House grounds were evacuated on Sunday due to the discovery of an initially unidentified package.

"U.S. Secret Service Uniform Division Officers located an unknown item on the White House complex," a Secret Service spokesman confirmed. "As a precaution, the White House grounds were evacuated, and the DC Fire Departments Hazmat team responded.

Curiously, there hasn’t been a lot of news coverage of this incident. This seems odd because the evacuation of the White House and the response of a Hazmat team seems like a significant story. It’s true that the item was eventually deemed to be "non-hazardous" by D.C. Emergency Medical officials, but that’s not the whole story.

An audio recording from D.C. Fire Hazmat revealed the test results showed the substance found was cocaine hydrochloride.

Social media users have been saying that cocaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic commonly used by doctors to numb the nostril for surgical procedures. Is this technically true? Sure. "Cocaine hydrochloride nasal solution is used to numb the mucous membrane inside the nose before a medical procedure or surgery. This medicine is a local anesthetic," the Mayo Clinic explains. "This medicine is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of your doctor."

Are you buying the story that nasal spray was found in the White House? You shouldn’t.

According to Addiction Resources, "Cocaine hydrochloride is a powder used in drug abuse or as a local anesthetic. Abusing cocaine hydrochloride can result in adverse side effects and risks. Cocaine can be processed to produce three different forms of the drug: cocaine hydrochloride, freebase cocaine, and crack cocaine."

What does this tell us? Despite the best efforts of some to insinuate that the cocaine hydrochloride found at the White House was innocuous nasal spray, it is highly probable that it was simply a bag of cocaine. There’s been no official indication that it was nasal spray, and the lack of interest in the story by the mainstream media raises some red flags. On top of that, we know that Hunter Biden, a supposedly "recovering" drug addict, was recently at the White House for a state dinner.

#7  A documented crime, potential felony, inside the white house, with categorical video evidence of the perpetrator. Let's see who is actually above the law!

"Hunter started drinking as a teenager and confessed to abusing cocaine as a college student.
He has been in and out of rehab. In 2013, he signed up for the US Navy Reserves and took the oath of office before his father - then the vice-president - in a White House ceremony. But on his very first day at the naval base, he tested positive for cocaine use and was discharged, something he later said he was "embarrassed" by."

#4  Initial reports were that the cocaine was found "near" the White House but now it has been revealed it was found in the White House library where Hunter does his "work". Immediately following the evacuation the Secret Service assumed it belonged to Hunter. There is 24-7 video surveillance. The Secret Service did not collect fingerprints from the bag as they knew Hunter had left it behind.
