ALL OF THESE FILTHY POLS AND THE POL-LAWYERS HAVE AND WILL SELL OUT AMERICA IF IT PUTS A BUCK IN THEIR BOTTOMLESS POCKETS!
As the San Francisco Chronicle noted, the Chinese spy on Feinstein’s staff for 20 years even attended Chinese Consulate functions for the senator, who has her own version of Hunter Biden. As Ben Weingarten reported in the Federalist in 2018, Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum has “profited handsomely from the greatly expanded China trade she supported.”
China is Using Companies like Twitter to Interfere in the Election
Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter’s businesses are tethered to the Communist regime.
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
Last year, Amazon was forced to shut down its marketplace business in the People’s Republic of China. Amazon’s defeat followed that of a long line of Big Tech players who had tried to make a go of it in China and failed miserably. China’s economy is built to boost domestic businesses and foreign exports, with some needed imports, by companies linked to the Communist Party.
And no matter how politically correct Amazon may try to be, it can never join that club.
But Amazon’s business in China isn’t done. To a large degree, Amazon’s business is China. Behind the smiling logo, the massive array of businesses covering everything from running the CIA’s cloud to spending $500 million to make a Lord of the Rings streaming series, are a bunch of grim offices, apartments, and warehouses in Chinese cities that make up its real business.
Three years ago, third-party sellers topped Amazon's own sales. They now make up 58%. Who are they? If, like most Americans, you shop at the giant dot com retail monopoly, you’ve already waded through a stream of random shop names, fake misspelled reviews, and counterfeit products while searching for just about anything. What happened? China happened.
Between 40% to 48% of top third-party sellers on Amazon are operating out of China. The massive growth in Chinese third-party sellers has been fairly recent and transformative.
What Amazon Prime members are really buying is membership in a club that helps third-party sellers from China push counterfeit and imitation products to Americans. Amazon acts as a middle man, charging Chinese sellers and American customers for handling listing, shipping and sales..
The trade war between America and China began a year before Amazon shut down its local sales, but not its cross-border business. And that cross-border business is Amazon’s lifeline.
In 2013, Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, bought the Washington Post for $250 million. Bezos, at the time, lived in the other Washington. He wouldn’t add a D.C. home to his collection until 2016, and didn’t show it off until this year at a party attended by Bill Gates and Mitt Romney. Many wondered why Bezos had bought a D.C. government paper. Follow the money.
In 2014, the CIA announced a $600 million cloud contract with Amazon. Considering Amazon’s dependency on China, granting it that kind of access was an absurdly terrible idea. And yet, Amazon then went on to win a $10 billion military cloud contract that it has since fortunately lost.
Amazon’s federal contract revenues rose from $200 million in 2014 to $2 billion now. Much of that money flows to Amazon from that entity its boss’ paper calls the intelligence community.
Few have noted the curious triangle between the money flowing from the intelligence community to Amazon, and the Washington Post’s role in pushing supposed material from the intelligence community against President Trump, his trade war, and Amazon’s China business.
This doesn’t have to add up to some grand conspiracy, but the Washington Post’s owner has a vital economic interest in ousting Trump, and the paper has been doing that by serving up material from a branch of the government that its owner’s company does a lot business with.
Amazon is hardly alone among Big Tech companies in benefiting from Trump’s defeat.
It’s no coincidence that the Democrat nominee is a doddering hack best known for inappropriately touching women and building close relationships between certain American industries and the People’s Republic of China. The biggest Big Tech companies are driven by outsized stock prices and a high cash burn rate that can only be fixed by massive growth.
And that growth is dependent on China and on American trade policies.
Facebook is officially banned in China, but, much like Amazon, its business comes through the Communist dictatorship.
China is Facebook's second largest revenue source after America with $5 billion a year in ad revenue. And the social media monopoly which controls 80% of the social media market in America, keeps pleading and begging to be allowed back into China.
Why are Chinese companies advertising on a service that Chinese users are blocked from accessing through the Great Firewall? Some, like TikTok, which built its business through Facebook, are trying to reach American customers and then build their own ad business.
China is racing to build its own machine for directly reaching American customers. And once it has that, it won’t need Amazon, Facebook, or the rest of the tech traitors anymore. To paraphrase Lenin, the rope will have been sold and all that will be left are the hangings.
Like Amazon, Facebook is a one-way system for allowing Chinese businesses to take advantage of Americans. While US companies may not be allowed to do business in China, they’re happy to help Chinese companies do business in America. Or, as Facebook put it, it's "committed to becoming the best marketing platform for Chinese companies going abroad".
But it’s not just Chinese businesses using Facebook for ads: it’s also China’s regime.
Chinese state broadcasters like Xinhua spend a lot of money advertising their propaganda on Facebook. Some of that propaganda aimed at Americans explicitly attacked President Trump.
But China doesn’t need to resort to the crude measures of Russia’s Internet Research Agency.
Facebook, like most of Big Tech, understands that its future rests with China’s Communist Party. Its growth potential and a sizable amount of its revenues are tied to better relations with China. And for that to happen, Hunter Biden’s dad has to win and President Trump has to lose. And so the social media monopoly led the way in censoring a damaging story about Hunter Biden.
Like Facebook, Twitter is blocked in China. And, like its much bigger social media brother, Twitter makes a lot of the ad revenue for its shaky business model from China.
"Helping Chinese companies expand their visibility overseas has been one of the fastest-growing businesses for Twitter," a China Twitter executive claimed.
The so-called China Export Market has been driving Twitter’s ad revenues.
And, also like Facebook, it’s not just products that are being exported. During the Communist dictatorship’s crackdown on Hong Kong, Xinhua ran ads on Twitter defending the repression.
This wasn’t too surprising considering that Twitter’s first China boss had worked for the People's Liberation Army and then on a joint venture with the Ministry of Public Security.
After Twitter was shamed into pulling the ads, the Communist dictatorship threatened to cut off its ad revenues. The message was clear. China was in control of Twitter’s cash flow.
That’s why Big Tech companies can be banned in China and still be at its mercy.
The Communist regime controls a huge portion of their revenues and their future. A Big Tech company with no pathway to expanding in China won’t attract the investors to grow. That’s how China can make or break any of the Big Tech businesses it keeps dangling on its little finger.
The real foreign election interference is coming from China. Big Tech companies are just doing the dirty work of the Communist dictatorship. China’s Communist leaders don’t even need to say anything. The message is clear. The only way forward for them is through Joe Biden.
That’s why Big Tech is far more driven to defeat President Trump and elect Joe Biden and its election interference has become much more blatant than it was in the previous election.
It’s not just about the politics, it’s also about the money.
Big Tech companies are selling out our election to China the way they have our jobs. And their election interference is reaching unprecedented heights as they function like a cartel.
Twitter not only banned a story about Hunter Biden’s China ties, it ruthlessly suspended, blocked, and shut down accounts belonging to government officials and journalists, even as it promoted a counter-story from the Washington Post: a paper owned by Amazon CEO Bezos.

Democrats
Dodge the Real Reparations
How
about all the damage caused by the China virus and Islamic terror?
Thu Oct 15, 2020
“As
a nation, we can only truly thrive when every one of us has the opportunity to
thrive. Our painful history of slavery has evolved into structural racism and
bias built into and permeating throughout our democratic and economic
institutions.”
That
was California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a September 30 signing
statement for Assembly Bill 3121 which
“establishes a nine-member task force to inform Californians about slavery and
explore ways the state might provide reparations.” For all its faults,
California was never part of the Confederacy, and Californians might wonder
about a stronger case for reparations from damages caused by the China virus.
Evidence
points to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, recipient of funds from the U.S.
National Institutes of Health, which banned “gain of function”
research in 2014 because of danger that a manipulated virus might be
released into the population. The NIH revived the dangerous research in 2017
but kept it secret. The Wuhan Institute was an ideal place to hide gain of
function, and Anthony Fauci backed the lab with more than $7 million. Dr. Fauci
has been evasive about what, exactly, went on at Wuhan but there can be no
dispute about the aftermath.
The
China virus claimed more than 200,000 deaths in the United States alone and
touched three leaders of G7 nations: President Trump, British prime minister
Boris Johnson, and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, whose wife Sophie tested
positive for the coronavirus in March. The economic damages are undeniable:
millions unemployed, businesses going bankrupt, mounting debt, and all the
social wreckage now on display.
President
Trump is on record that this was all “China’s fault,” and China is going to pay
“a big price” for what they’ve done to the United States and the world.
One U.S. state is already taking measures. In April, Missouri attorney general
Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit charging that Chinese Communist officials are “responsible for the
enormous death, suffering, and economic losses they inflicted on the world,
including Missourians.” For Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat,
the Missouri lawsuit was the problem.
“We
launch a series of unknown events that could be very, very dangerous,” said
Feinstein in a July 30, Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “I think this
is a huge mistake.” And Feinstein had only praise for China, “as a country that
has pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty in a short period of time”
and as “a country growing into a respectable nation among other nations. And I
deeply believe that. I’ve been to China a number of times. I’ve studied the
issues.”
Indeed,
as Feinstein told James Areddy of
the Wall Street Journal during a 2006 visit to
Shanghai, the San Francisco Democrat had been coming to the Communist nation
for 31 years. Feinstein compared Tiananmen Square to Kent State, and as Rosemarie Ho reported
in The Nation, Democrats in general and
Feinstein in particular ignored the Communist crackdown against Hong Kong.
As
the San
Francisco Chronicle noted, the Chinese spy on Feinstein’s staff for
20 years even attended Chinese Consulate functions for the senator, who has her
own version of Hunter Biden. As Ben
Weingarten reported in the Federalist in 2018, Feinstein’s
husband Richard Blum has “profited handsomely from the greatly expanded China
trade she supported.”
None
of this has touched off an investigation, which confirms that FBI favors for
Democrats go far beyond Hillary Clinton. A party that functions as a
cheerleader for China will not seek any reparations from China, or any other
entity that has inflicted vast damage on the United States.
On
September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists claimed nearly 3,000 American lives and
caused billions in damages. If that not a case for reparations, it is hard to
know what one would look like. Democrats made no case, and the president
formerly known as Barry Soetoro shipped billions in cash to Iran, the major
sponsor of terrorism in the world.
President
Trump pushed back on terrorism, taking out Iranian master terrorist Soleimani
and ISIS boss al-Baghdadi. Democrats were critical of these actions, and their
diversionary push for slavery reparations has no merit. Neither does Gov.
Newsom’s charge of “structural racism,” which as David Azerrad explains, lacks
proof on the historical, legislative, and even the subconscious level.
The
nation can only thrive, Gov. Newsom contends, “when every one of us has the
opportunity to thrive.” As it happens, the most powerful figure in recent
California history is the African American Willie Brown. The thriving assembly
speaker set up his girlfriend Kamala
Harris in lucrative sinecures and backed her career all the way to
candidacy for what she has called a “Harris administration.”
Meanwhile,
old-money Democrats are grooming Gov. Newsom for a presidential run in 2024.
Should he succeed, the nation would never get reparations for terrorism or the
China virus. On the other hand, the entire nation would soon look like
California, whose rapid decline reminds Bill Maher of “Italy in the 70s or
something.” As President Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens.
Peter Schweizer: Hunter Biden Still Owns Ten Percent of Chinese
Firm BHR
4,583
Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s second
son, still owns a ten-percent stake in Chinese company Bohai Harvest RST (BHR),
an investment firm he co-founded with funding from the Bank of China, noted
Peter Schweizer, president of the government accountability Institute, senior
contributor to Breitbart News, and author of Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of
Power by America’s Progressive Elite.
In episode 17 of the Drill Down, entitled “Hunter Biden’s Chinese Fortune,” Schweizer noted that Hunter Biden has not divested from BHR
despite his father’s presidential campaign.
“The idea that Hunter could still profit off of the Chinese
government if his father becomes president remains an incredible potential
conflict [of interest],” observed Schweizer. “A conflict that seems all the
more troubling when Joe Biden continues to dismiss China as a geopolitical threat.”
Hunter Biden’s lawyer claimed his client resigned from BHR’s
board of directors, issuing a letter to this effect via the Washington
Post. In September 2019, Schweizer highlighted the Washington Post‘s broad omissions
in reporting on Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings during his father’s
vice-presidential tenure.
The Washington Post‘s Glenn Kessler
framed the aforementioned letter as a response to “Trump folks,” omitting any
mention of Hunter Biden’s ongoing ownership stake in BHR.
Trump folks pushing
a line that Hunter Biden never resigned from board, citing an apparently
outdated database entry. (https://cdn01.dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/bhr-english-4-14-20.pdf …) Now Hunter Biden's lawyer has obtained
letter confirming he did resign in October, as originally reported. https://twitter.com/TimMurtaugh/status/1250585895960481799 …
Tim Murtaugh - Text TRUMP to 88022
Schweizer said, “Biden’s lawyer claims that his client did resign, and has produced a document from Hunter’s China-based company saying as much. Maybe. But Hunter’s attorney did not address the more important problem – the fact that Hunter still owns a piece of the Chinese company, called BHR.”
“[BHR] is an investment vehicle, financed by the government of
China, which has conducted at least two-point-five billion dollars worth of
deals,” added Schweizer, “and Hunter Biden has a ten percent equity piece of that.”
