Pocket-lining Joe is now Mr. 'Strategic Empathy' on China, according to NYT
Well, it looks like the makeover has begun.
Corrupt Joe Biden, who used his office to enrich himself and his family, to say the least, is now the foreign policy maven, particularly on China. That's the spin from the New York Times, which has beclowned itself badly, trying to tell the audience that something smelly is shinola.
To voters unsettled by President Trump’s disruptive approach to the world, Mr. Biden is selling not only his policy prescriptions but also his long track record of befriending, cajoling and sometimes confronting foreign leaders — what he might call the power of his informal diplomatic style. “I’ve dealt with every one of the major world leaders that are out there right now, and they know me. I know them,” he told supporters in December.Brett McGurk, a former senior State Department official for the campaign against the Islamic State, said Mr. Biden had been an effective diplomat by practicing “strategic empathy.”
And unlike Trump, Biden was oh so personal, as well as "not an ideologue."
Mr. Biden made a quick “personal connection” with the Chinese leader, even if he sometimes confounded his Mandarin interpreter by quoting hard-to-translate Irish verse, said Daniel Russel, an aide present at several of the meetings.“He was remarkably good in getting to a personal relationship right away and getting Xi to open up,” Mr. Russel said.
Had enough? The translation, according to Peter Schweizer's Profiles in Corruption is:
For Vice President Joe Biden, effective diplomacy was about forming personal relationships with foreign leaders. "It all gets down to the conduct of foreign policy being personal." The vice president had a series of important and tense meetings with Chinese officials on a variety of critical matters in the bilateral relationship. The trip coincided with an enormous financial deal that Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca, was arranging with the state-owned Bank of China. What Hunter did during the official visit to Beijing we cannot know for sure. Other than a few photo ops with his father, he was nowhere to be seen.
...and...
Approximately ten days after the Beijing trip, Hunter Biden's Rosemont Seneca Partners finalized a deal with the Chinese government worth a whopping $1 billion. The deal was later expanded to $1.5 billion. As of this writing, the fund's website says its investments amount to more than $2 billion.It's important to note that this deal was with the Chinese government--not with Chinese company, which means that the Chinese government and the son of the vice president were now business partners.
Now he's Mr. Congeniality, the perfect opposite of President Trump who confronts China rather sternly on issues. To the Times, that's a bad thing. To the average 'hey fat' out in the American heartland as Biden puts it, Trump's diplomacy is actually standing up for the interests of Americans.
It's also a disgusting double standard. Trump is no China hater - he does his best to cut the best deal possible for main street America by driving a hard bargain the Chinese know they have no choice but to accept. Any time Trump says something concilatory to the Chinese, it's denounced as sucking up to dictators, while any time Joe does it - pocketing the profits, which any non-ideologue is adept at doing - he's Mr. Personality.
As Mickey Kaus well observed:
When Trump does it it's coddling dictators, with Biden it's Strategic Empathy! @michaelcrowley is at least a bit skeptical. https://t.co/Pnc9SqxAk4— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) July 6, 2020
Here's the problem with this kind of 'personal' diplomacy. It is very personal indeed to Joe, given the wealth it has brought is family members. It's also very dangerous, given that every string and hook China's oligarchs can get into him makes him an even bigger sock puppet than he already was. Combine with the world's dodgiest players considering Biden a non-entity (Osama bin Laden considered Biden a fool) and the picture is a very ugly one for America's interests.
Here's the second problem: This apparent media makeover for Joe, painting him as the great personal-touch diplomat who can get along with everyone is clearly the new party line being promoted in the press, and we can expect to see lockstep echoing of this embarassing face-lift. The JournoList talking points have gone out and now the shots are fired. As those shots went out, attempting to boost Joe while taking down Trump, the Chicoms themselves have been very active, too. Just days ago, according to a report in the Daily Caller, the Chinese investment firm that made Hunter a very rich man has quietly removed Hunter's name as a board member. That's to help Joe win his presidential bid for sure, which ought to make voters very wary given whose interests are being boosted. Worse still, the Caller reports, they allowed him to keep his sizable stake in the company - worth milions at least. No wonder he's comfortably ensconced in the Hollywood Hills these days, bored and playing 'artist,' dodging release of his financial statements to an Arkansas judge over a babydaddy case with a stripper looking for child support. No wonder he apparently settled with the woman and swept the whole thing off the front pages.
Now the makeover is on, with the media ignoring the pocket-lining entirely -- the New York Times makes simply no mention of it -- and the cash spigots still going.
The whole thing -- pocket-lining and media coverup is a disgusting double-load of corruption that anyone with a brain can see right through. The GOP must keep the heat onto this issue because it's being distorted beyond recognition.

Who Employed Chinese Spy Endorses Joe Biden for President
A high-profile U.S. senator with professional
and personal ties to China — including once employing one of its spies — is
backing former Vice President Joe Biden amid mounting questions over his son’s
business dealings with the communist regime.
We're not buying Joe Biden's 'tough on China' Act
Joe
Biden is running away from his record as the "pro-China" candidate so
quickly that his defenders in the liberal press can't make heads or tails of
it. Ordinary Americans are equally confused.
Biden
spent over three decades opening American markets to Chinese goods, ignoring
China's abhorrent human rights record, and dismissing the challenge posed by
our greatest rival for global leadership. The "made in
China" era coincided with the closure of tens of thousands of American
factories, stagnant working-class wages, and the loss of America's ability to
produce essential goods domestically — a vulnerability that took on incredible
significance when we learned that we were dependent upon China to produce the
medical equipment needed to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
This
disaster was facilitated by politicians of both parties, and no one was more gung ho than Joe
Biden, poster child for the globalism that reigned supreme until the
2016 presidential election, which Donald J. Trump won by campaigning on a
platform diametrically opposed to the "open markets and open borders"
philosophy of the D.C. establishment. In the White House, President
Trump became the first American leader in decades to take a firm stand against
China's malfeasance and demand a genuinely fair and reciprocal trade deal for
American workers.
While
Joe Biden was the vice president of the United States, conversely, he was downplaying the consequences of
China's rise — even as his own family tried to get rich through
deals with Chinese state-owned companies.
How
is it possible, then, that Biden has suddenly tried to recast himself as the
"tough-on-China" candidate in the 2020 race?
Biden's
campaign even ran an ad claiming the
president had "rolled over for the Chinese" in response to the
coronavirus that Beijing unleashed on the world. It's one of the
most poorly executed flip-flops in American electoral history, coming just
months after Biden called President
Trump's life-saving ban on most travel
from China "hysterical xenophobia."
No
one is buying it. Everyone knows about President Trump's record of
success in bringing China to the negotiating table through strategic
counter-tariffs. The "Phase One" trade deal that was inked
earlier this year represents the first major trade concessions from China in a
generation. Even the fanatical free-traders who actually liked Biden's
globalism see right through his new façade. The libertarians at the
Cato Institute, for instance, published an article
acknowledging that Biden's reversal is "futile" and "inherently
lacks credibility."
Even
the intellectual left is aghast at Biden's fake toughness on
China. The Atlantic called it "utterly
futile" and "pointless — even dangerous." The New
York Times published an op-ed all but begging Biden to drop the
act.
If
even his own supporters are rolling their eyes at Biden play-acting as a China
skeptic, why are he and his team even bothering to attempt the deception?
The
answer is simple. Americans have finally woken up to the economic
and national security threat posed by China. The coronavirus pandemic made that
threat impossible to ignore. No one wants to go into this November
as the "pro-Beijing" candidate.
Unfortunately
for Joe Biden, he's been the "pro-Beijing" candidate throughout his
political career, and there's a decades-long record to prove it.

Cincinnati, Ohio treasurer, and a U.S. ambassador to the U.N. He

Biden was enriching
more family members than just Hunter
On
January 21, Peter Schweizer’s newest book, Profiles
in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite, will be released.
It should sell well given that pre-sales have already put it at #14 on the
Amazon charts. As a preview of coming attractions, the New York Post published
an extract from the book detailing “How five members of Joe Biden’s
family got rich through his connections.”
According
to Schwiezer, Biden was fibbing when he announced last year, “I never talked
with my son or my brother or anyone else — even distant family — about their
business interests. Period.” The truth is that Biden’s business conversations
not only benefited Hunter, they also benefitted Biden’s son-in-law Howard, his
brothers James and Frank, and his sister Valerie. Loose lips enrich sibs.
James
Biden was a welcome friend in the Obama White House. “Sometimes, James’ White
House visits dovetailed with his overseas business dealings, and his commercial
opportunities flourished during his brother’s tenure as vice president.” For
example, just three weeks after Biden’s longtime friend Kevin Justice,
president of HillStone International, a subsidiary of a huge construction
management firm, visited the White House, HillStone announced that James Biden
was its new Executive Vice President.
No
one cared that Biden had no experience in construction management. What might
have mattered was that, six months later, the firm got a contract to build
100,000 homes in Iraq, plus a $22 million U.S. federal government contract to
manage a State Department project. An executive in the parent company later
told investors it helped to have the vice president’s brother as a partner.
The
book excerpt also tells how Hunter -- a man known for drugs, alcohol, taking up
with his brother’s widow, fathering a child on a stripper, dumping the stripper
and his child, and marrying another woman –made bank in Ukraine thanks to
his father’s connections. It’s a complicated, unsavory story, but the bottom
line is the same as for James: Hunter got an immensely profitable job for which
he was completely unqualified because Biden allowed Hunter to piggyback
off of Biden’s connections.
When
it came to his kids, Biden didn’t stop with Hunter. His daughter, Ashley,
married a doctor, Howard Krein. Howard and his siblings open StartUp Health, an
investment consultancy firm. In 2011, when the firm had just opened, two of the
firm’s executives were invited to meet with Obama and Biden. The next day, this
barely hatched entity hit the big time:
The following day the new company would be
featured at a large health care tech conference being run by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and StartUp Health executives
became regular visitors to the White House, attending events in 2011, 2014 and
2015.
How did StartUp Health gain access to the highest
levels of power in Washington? There was nothing particularly unique about the
company, but for this:
The chief medical officer of StartUp Health,
Howard Krein, is married to Joe Biden’s youngest
daughter, Ashley.
For
years after, including his years in the White House, Biden made a point of
promoting the company.
James
also wasn’t the only one of his siblings Biden helped. In March 2009, Biden
went to Costa Rica. The last time a high-ranking American official went to
Costa Rica was in 1997 when Bill Clinton traveled there. Biden’s trip may not
have been a coincidence:
Joe Biden’s trip to Costa Rica came at a
fortuitous time for his brother Frank, who was busy working deals in the
country. Just months after Vice President Biden’s visit, in August, Costa Rica
News announced a new multilateral partnership “to reform Real Estate in Latin
America” between Frank Biden, a developer named Craig Williamson, and the
Guanacaste Country Club, a newly planned resort.
[snip]
As it happened, Joe Biden had been asked by
President Obama to act as the Administration’s point man in Latin America and
the Caribbean.
Frank’s vision for a country club in Costa Rica
received support from the highest levels of the Costa Rican government— despite
his lack of experience in building such developments. He met with the Costa
Rican ministers of education and energy and environment, as well as the
president of the country.
The
same amazing coincidences played out with Biden’s sister Valerie, to whom his
campaigns ended up paying $2.5 million in consulting fees in 2008 alone.
Considering
that the New York Post article is merely a short excerpt
from Peter Schweizer’s Profiles in Corruption, readers can expect to
be exposed to a massive, but readable data dump, explaining how taxpayer funds
and political connections have been funding the lifestyles of the rich and
progressive.
NY Post: ‘Profiles in Corruption’ Reveals How the ‘Biden Five’ Made Millions
Off Joe Biden Connections

Five family members of former Vice
President Joe Biden have scored “sweetheart deals” and “favorable access” thanks
to their connection to the 2020 Democrat White House candidate, reveals the
forthcoming investigative book Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of
Power by America’s Progressive Elite by five-time New York Times bestselling author
and Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer.
The Biden family’s apparent
self-enrichment involves no less than five family members: Joe’s son Hunter,
son-in-law Howard, brothers James and Frank, and sister Valerie.
When this subject came up in 2019,
Biden declared, “I never talked with my son or my brother or anyone else — even
distant family — about their business interests. Period.”
As we will see, this is far from the
case…
Joe Biden’s younger brother, James,
has been an integral part of the family political machine from the earliest
days when he served as finance chair of Joe’s 1972 Senate campaign, and the two
have remained quite close. After Joe joined the U.S. Senate, he would bring his
brother James along on congressional delegation trips to places like Ireland,
Rome and Africa.
When Joe became vice president,
James was a welcomed guest at the White House, securing invitations to such
important functions as a state dinner in 2011 and the visit of Pope Francis in
2015. Sometimes, James’ White House visits dovetailed with his overseas business
dealings, and his commercial opportunities flourished during his brother’s
tenure as vice president.
Report:
James Biden Secured $500,000 Loan from Healthcare Firm Under Federal
Investigation
10 Mar 2020123
6:12
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s younger brother James is being
accused of securing a big-money loan from a healthcare company now under
federal investigation and facing bankruptcy.
James, who has a
history of muddled financial dealings, reportedly used his political ties to
convince executives at Americore Health, a rural healthcare firm, to loan him
$650,000. The younger Biden, who worked for the company between 2017 and 2019,
got the personal loan after helping Americore secure an even bigger bridge loan
from a hedge fund run by one of his associates, Michael Lewitt. According to
court documents and former Americore executives, James Biden convinced the
firm’s leadership to sign off on both by promising he would be able to secure
larger investments from Middle Eastern contacts thanks to his family’s name.
“In 2017 and 2018, James Biden was embarking on a foray into
health care investing, telling potential partners, including at Americore, that
his last name could open doors and that Joe Biden was excited about the public
policy implications of their business models, according to court filings and
interviews with James’ former business contact,” Politico reported on Monday.
A former Americore executive, Tom Pritchard, told Politico that shortly
after James Biden received the $650,000 personal loan, his day-to-day role in
the firm decreased.
“Jim needed to lay
low because his brother was possibly running for president, and he didn’t need
any bad press,” Pritchard said.
Meanwhile, without
investment incoming, Americore struggled under already tight finances to make
its model for the acquisition of rural hospitals work. The cause would
eventually fail, with the company being forced to file bankruptcy in December
2019.
Americore’s poor
financial shape is only one side of the story. The firm is also under federal
investigation after a lawsuit filed in Tennessee in July 2019 alleged Americore
and its leadership of fraud.
Michael Frey and
his business partner, Dr. Mohannad Azzam, brought the suit claiming James Biden
and his associates promised and failed to line up investors for their rural
healthcare enterprise. Instead, the suit alleges, James Biden urged the two men
to borrow $10 million from a hedge fund manager involved in the deal and then
proceeded to pass their idea off as his own to a conglomerate of Turkish
investors.
“The lawsuit takes direct aim at Biden, painting him as a con
artist who uses his ties to his brother — now a Democratic candidate for
president — to lure his victims,” the Knoxville
News Sentinel reported.
According to
documents filed with the U.S. District Court, Frey and his wife developed a
business model to take over rural hospitals and retrofit them to not only offer
traditional hospital care, but also drug addiction and mental health treatment.
After incorporating the enterprise as Diverse Medical Management, they brought
on Azzam, “who contracted with nursing homes to provide medical care for
seniors.”
The business model
was lucrative enough that by 2017, Frey and Azzam were actively pitching it to
investors and hospitals across the country. One investor particularly taken
with the idea was Americore.
At the behest of Americore CEO Grant White, Frey and Azzam were urged to
pitch their business plan to rural hospitals in Kentucky. It was at one such
meeting where the two men met James Biden, who identified himself as a “principal”
at Americore.
Not long after
their initial encounter, James Biden introduced the men to Lewitt, a hedge fund
manager and well-known “credit strategist.” Around this time, Americore made
plans to buy Diverse Medical for the sum of $7 million.
Despite the deal,
Americore quickly fell behind on its scheduled payments to Frey and Azzam. It
was then that James Biden and Lewitt, as detailed in the lawsuit, hatched
a plan to oust White and sell Americore along with Diverse Medical to a third
company called the Platinum Group. Frey and Azzam appear to have been
uncomfortable with the turn the deal took, especially the notion of removing
White. The men, though, went along with the plan after being told a payout was
“imminent.”
“They repeatedly
assured (Frey) that investment capital originating from and flowing through
foreign entities was not only certain, but was imminent,” documents filed by
Frey and Azzam’s attorney state.
This is not the first time that James Biden’s business dealings
have raised eyebrows. As Breitbart News reported in January,
James Biden received more than $1.5 billion in government-backed contracts
during the Obama administration. The revelations were first extensively
detailed in Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by
America’s Progressive Elite—a new book by Peter Schweizer, senior contributor at Breitbart
News and president of the Government Accountability Institute.
In 2010, fresh off
a disastrous attempt at running a Wall Street hedge fund, James Biden joined
HillStone International as executive vice president. The newly founded company
was run by Kevin Justice, a longtime family friend of the Bidens. Under
Justice’s leadership, HillStone International was setting out to pursue construction
and technology projects, especially those being funded by the U.S. government
in Iraq.
Hiring James, who
had neither experience in construction nor international development, seemed to
be a big part of the company’s strategy to secure such projects. When
announcing the hire, HillStone touted the political connections James had built
up through helping run his older brother’s political campaigns.
Six months after
James was hired, the company received a contract, estimated to be worth upwards
of $1.5 billion, to build more than 100,000 homes in Iraq. As a minority
partner in the firm, James would have been eligible to split more than $735
million in profits upon the contract’s completion.

Who Employed Chinese Spy Endorses Joe Biden for President
A high-profile U.S. senator with professional

business dealings with the communist regime.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), a

endorsement of the former vice president on Tuesday, claiming to have
witnessed Biden’s “fortitude” and leadership during their overlapping tenures
in Congress.
I’ve worked closely with Vice

statesmanship, and most importantly his moral fortitude (NO, IT’S NOT A JOKE,

During his time in Congress and in the White House, Joe Biden has been a
tireless fighter for hard working (ILLEGALS) MEXICAN families.

America’s China Dependency Syndrome
Lessons from the USSR.
April 28, 2020
Lloyd
Billingsley
“Made in China” has been a familiar label on products for years
but it wasn’t until March of 2020 that Americans learned of the perils that
might entail. China threatened to impose export controls on
pharmaceuticals that would plunge America into “the mighty sea of coronavirus.”
Sen. Marco Rubio told reporters the United States was “dangerously
reliant” on China for critical goods, including parts for technologies needed
to fight COVID-19. Since 2004, Chinese pharmaceutical companies have been
supplying 80-90 percent of U.S. antibiotics. Americans might wonder how they
landed in such a dependent position, and that invites a comparison with the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The world’s first socialist state, established in the world’s
largest nation, never produced a single product the West wanted or needed. For
all its vast natural resources, the USSR was an economic basket case, and by
the mid-1980s in serious trouble.
Suppose that some U.S. senator had then offered a trade deal that
ignored the regime’s human rights violations and allowed state-owned Soviet
companies to manufacture goods for the American market, all marked “Made In the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.” These would include vital pharmaceuticals
and the deal would allow the use of Soviet steel, and Soviet labor, in major
infrastructure projects in the United States.
The deal would impose no review of human rights and impose no
conditions for democratic reforms, supervised multi-party elections and such.
All that, and more, is already a done deal with China, like the USSR a
one-party Communist dictatorship that never produced a single product the
United States needs. This has come about, in large part, due to U.S. Senator
Dianne Feinstein, San Francisco Democrat.
On a visit to Shanghai in 2006 Feinstein told James Areddy of the Wall Street Journal, “I’ve been coming to China for 31 years, so I’m not a newcomer.”
That would put her first visit in 1975, one year before the death of the Great
Helmsman Mao Zedong his own self. Feinstein was then a San Francisco
supervisor, and as mayor struck up a sister-city relationship with Shanghai. On
the 2006 trip Feinstein spent time with former Shanghai mayor Zhu Rongji, “a
good friend.”
Areddy asked about the Tiananmen Square massacre then turning 21.
Feinstein said it was a “a great setback for China in the view of the world,” a
public-relations problem for China, not a human rights issue. “It was just the
PLA (People’s Liberation Army)” and China “learned lessons from it.” Still,
Feinstein admitted, “we did not discuss it.”
As Ben Weingarten noted in the Federalist in 2018, Sen.
Feinstein’s ties to China are “way deeper” than any Chinese spy in her office.
Feinstein maintained a “strictly apologist line” on China’s human rights
atrocities, and Feinstein’s husband has “profited handsomely” during her career
in the Senate. Sen. Feinstein “served as a key intermediary between China and
the U.S. government, while serving on committees whose work would be of keen
interest to the PRC.” For two decades and three election cycles, Feinstein
harbored a Chinese spy who fed “political intelligence” to Beijing’s Communist
regime. Since that article, the dossier has grown longer.
As Rosemarie Ho noted in The Nation, Dianne Feinstein failed to support the democracy protesters in
Hong Kong. When the coronavirus hit these shores, Feinstein was uncritical of
China and one of the first to cry “racism” against those who pointed out the pandemic’s origin in Wuhan,
China.
Ben Weingarten wondered how a motivated and empowered prosecutor
would operate if tasked to explore “any links and/or coordination” between the
Chinese government, Feinstein and individuals associated with her office. Such
an investigation never took place with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the most servile
apologist of Communist China since Anna Louise Strong, and
certainly the most influential. On the other hand, Donald Trump was thoroughly
investigated for “collusion” with Russia, which turned out to be a hoax.
It was the president’s tweet that brought Feinstein’s Chinese spy
to public attention. President Trump has access to all U.S. intelligence, a
major reason domestic and foreign foes alike are desperately trying to remove
him from office. In his April 19 press conference, the president called the
upper reaches of the DOJ and FBI “human scum,” and their inattention to
Feinstein, Hillary Clinton and other high-profile Democrats confirms that the
rot continues.
President Trump is now throwing down with the invisible enemy of
coronavirus and making progress despite opposition from Democrats and their
media allies. As they parrot Chinese propaganda, the president has already
started the decoupling process.
“We cannot outsource our independence,” the president said last Monday. “We
cannot be reliant on foreign nations. I’ve been saying this for a long time. If
we’ve learned one thing it’s let's do it here, let’s build it here, let’s make
it here.”
As with the USSR, we don’t need China for anything. And as Chuck
Berry said, anything you want they got right here in the USA.
