This brings us back to the Hunter Biden laptop and
the forebodings among the emails contained therein. If the emails are the
revelations they appear, Joe Biden not only knew about Hunter Biden’s and his
associates’ influence-peddling with Chinese oligarchs, but facilitated it, granting access to them with
him and, likely, other Obama administration high officials.
Worse still, emails on the laptop implicate Joe Biden in substantial skims or cuts of
“fees” paid to Hunter Biden.
Joe Biden’s Transition
Co-Chair Hosted Hunter Biden-Linked Chinese Elites at Obama White House
Do the Chinese Own Joe Biden?
Americans
will need to come to grips with a mounting, deadly serious
crisis. The Democrat nominee for the
presidency appears saturated with corruption, and worse -- yes, there’s a worse
here -- he’s compromised himself to foreign powers, one of which -- the
People’s Republic of China (PRC) -- is rightly regarded as an enemy of the
U.S. Sly Vlad Putin and whoever runs the Ukraine owns
Joe Biden, too. Russia and the Ukraine having the goods on Biden is bad
enough, but China is the U.S.’s principal rival for global dominance. The
blackmailing of a President Joe Biden is a chilling prospect. Biden
as president imperils the nation in ways never experienced before.
What
does this mean to the Sino-American rivalry? It means that with Biden
blackmailed and in the White House, the Chinese may never fire a shot to gain
hegemony over the U.S. -- the domination that tyrant Xi Jingping dreams about.
Did
you know that in the last week the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike
Group was deployed to the South China Sea? Let’s examine this development
and then tie it in to the growing Biden uber-scandal.
Per USNI News, October 15, 2020:
The
carrier strike group] is now operating in the South China Sea for the third
time as part of its current underway period. Meanwhile, a destroyer made a
transit of the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday.
USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) and
its strike group passed through the Strait of Malacca and entered the South
China Sea on Monday, according to ship spotters. Accompanying the carrier was
guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG-54)
and destroyer USS Halsey (DDG-97).
Why
has the U.S. sent a strike group back for a third time recently? More
from the USNI News report:
USS Barry (DDG-52) passed
through the strait on Wednesday, a first for a U.S. warship since Aug. 31. “The
ship’s transit through the Taiwan
Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open
Indo-Pacific,” read the statement. [italics added]
From
the Washington Post, October 12, 2020:
TAIPEI,
Taiwan -- With tensions soaring in the Taiwan Strait, China
responded to Taiwanese overtures for dialogue by releasing new footage showing a large-scale military exercise simulating
an invasion and a purported confession from a Taiwanese businessman held
captive in China on spying charges.
The
double-barreled release by the influential China Central Television late
Saturday and Sunday signaled a hard line from Beijing on the same weekend that
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen offered conciliatory remarks expressing a
desire to hold talks as fears grow that China's increasing threats toward
Taiwan could spill over into military action.
And,
finally, this from the Post report:
Chinese
President Xi Jinping has made bringing Taiwan under Beijing's control a core
plank of his vision to restore China's greatness and has signaled growing
impatience with the DPP's refusal to acknowledge the one-China principle. In
its annual work report this year, the Chinese government removed the word "peaceful" from
long-standing references to "reunification" with Taiwan.
Why
would Xi Jinping beat the war drums now about Taiwan?
With
presidential and other stateside elections in full swing, Xi may have
calculated that the U.S. is too preoccupied to fully engage over Taiwan.
He had hoped to steal a march.
Another
reason is Xi may believe specious national polls --
that Trump is at a disadvantage in the presidential elections. Xi may
have gambled that Trump is inhibited, unable to effectively counter PRC
aggression toward the Taiwanese, fearing voter backlash. If so, the
president sending the strike group back into the South China Sea confounds Xi’s
schemes. Certainly, Xi would prefer intimidating Taiwan into submission.
An invasion and conquest of the island would come at an enormous price, both
militarily and economically, to the PRC. With the U.S. Navy as a
tripwire, an attack on Taiwan would mean war between China and its chief trading partner.
China’s
“president for life” may be
facing some internal party dissension. Unleashing COVID on the U.S. and
the world hasn’t worked to China’s advantage, at least not with President
Trump. Conflict with the U.S. over unfair trade isn’t going China’s way,
either. War -- or its rumblings -- is a time-honored means for tyrants to
refocus, galvanize, and consolidate support among a ruling class and
populace.
This
brings us back to the Hunter Biden laptop and the forebodings among the emails
contained therein. If the emails are the revelations they appear, Joe
Biden not only knew about Hunter Biden’s and his associates’ influence-peddling
with Chinese oligarchs, but facilitated it, granting access to them with
him and, likely, other Obama administration high officials.
Worse still, emails on the laptop implicate Joe Biden in substantial skims or cuts of
“fees” paid to Hunter Biden.
If
these suspicions are borne out, Xi is holding a sword over Joe Biden’s head
that, if used, would not only destroy his presidency, but subject Biden to
criminal prosecution (once impeached and removed from office, if he chose not
to resign). What else could the top charge be than treason?
Biden,
submitting to Chinese blackmail, would grant the PRC the latitude to seize the
militarily and commercially critical South China Sea and mount intense pressure
campaigns -- up to and including invasion -- to bring Taiwan to heel.
What choice would Biden have? Xi would be poised to create his version of
the old Imperial Japanese Greater East Asia
Co-Prosperity Sphere. This would be a crucial step in positioning the
PRC for global supremacy.
A
secondary consideration, in matters of trade, Biden couldn’t afford to protect
the U.S. market from China’s cheap labor and slave-produced goods.
To date, the PRC’s lucrative revenues from trade with the U.S., principally,
and others have financed its ceaseless
military buildup. Let’s note that prior to Trump, PRC military and industrial
espionage, as well as inadequate safeguards stateside, were a boon to
China’s development of a technologically sophisticated military, one that not
only threatens U.S. overseas interests, but, with each passing day, the homeland
as well. What possible actions could a compromised President Biden
take to stop further Chinese theft? Or would Biden simply facilitate the
transfer of technology?
This
nightmare scenario of a Biden presidency need not materialize. Though an
estimated 23.5 million votes have been
cast to date, many tens of millions more votes have yet to be
made. The Hunter Biden laptop discoveries are evidentiary. Joe Biden
and his family have long been alleged to be as crooked as the day is long.
A Biden presidency is an unprecedented risk to U.S. national security.
Reelecting Donald Trump is the prevention. A Trump second term is
imperative.

Feinstein’s staff for 20 years even attended Chinese Consulate
functions for the senator, who has her own version of Hunter

from the greatly expanded China

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.”

Senator Who Employed
Chinese Spy Endorses Joe Biden for President…don’t you wonder why???
A high-profile U.S. senator (DIANNE FEINSTEIN) 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.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), a former chairwoman of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, announced her endorsement of the former vice president
on Tuesday, claiming to have witnessed Biden’s “fortitude” and leadership
during their overlapping tenures in Congress.
Feinstein said in a statement:
I’ve worked closely with Vice President Biden and I’ve seen
firsthand his legislative ability, his statesmanship, and most importantly his
moral fortitud. During his time in Congress and in the White House, Joe Biden
has been a tireless fighter for hard working American families.
The endorsement comes as Biden’s presidential campaign is
besieged by scandal regarding the lucrative business dealings his youngest son,
Hunter, had with foreign governments.
Only hours before Feinstein’s endorsement, the Chinese
government announced it would not
investigate how Hunter Biden ended up at the center of one its top private
equity firms. The Chinese foreign ministry made the decision after President
Donald Trump publicly called for a probe of Hunter Biden’s dealings with Bohai Harvest
RST (BHR). In particular, Trump has noted that the circumstances surrounding
BHR’s creation could have posed a conflict of interest for Joe Biden.
As Peter Schweizer, senior contributor at Breitbart News,
revealed in his bestselling book Secret Empires: How the American Political
Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends, Hunter
Biden inked the multibillion-dollar deal that created BHR with a subsidiary of
the state-owned Bank of China in 2013.
The timing of the lucrative deal has been brought into question
as it came only 12 days after Hunter visited China with his father aboard Air
Force Two. Officially, the then-vice president was visiting the country
amid escalating tensions over islands in the South China Sea and decided to
bring his granddaughter and son along. In a March 2018 interview with Breitbart News Tonight,
however, Schweizer detailed the political machinations that preceded Hunter
Biden’s $1.5 billion venture with China:
In December of 2013, Vice President Joe Biden flies to Asia for
a trip, and the centerpiece for that trip is a visit to Beijing, China. To put
this into context, in 2013, the Chinese have just exerted air rights over the
South Pacific, the South China Sea. They basically have said, ‘If you want to
fly in this area, you have to get Chinese approval. We are claiming sovereignty
over this territory.’ Highly controversial in Japan, in the Philippines, and in
other countries. Joe Biden is supposed to be going there to confront the
Chinese. Well, he gets widely criticized on that trip for going soft on China.
For basically not challenging them, and Japan and other countries are quite
upset about this.
Since its creation, BHR has invested heavily in energy and
defense projects across the globe. As of June, Hunter Biden was
still involved with BHR,
sitting on its board of directors and owning a minority stake of the fund
estimated to be worth more than $430,000.
Such dealings at the center of politics and business, while
perhaps not illegal, are not exclusive to the Biden family alone. As a few
noted at the time of Feinstein’s endorsement, the senator and her husband have
their own close ties to the communist country.
During her tenure as mayor of San Francisco in the late-1970s
and early-1980s, Feinstein took advantage of the newly normalized diplomatic
relations between the U.S. and China by establishing one of the first sister
city partnership between San Francisco and Shanghai. Through that partnership,
Feinstein led trade delegations to China in which she and her husband, Richard
Blum, became acquainted with some of the country’s most prominent political
leaders.
As the Federalist noted in August 2018, Feinstein
and her husband leveraged those relationships to boost their own wealth. In
1986, Feinstein and Jiang Zemin — the then-mayor of Shanghai, who would later
ascend to the presidency of the People’s Republic of China — “designated
several corporate entities for fostering commercial relations.” One of those
firms was Shanghai Pacific Partners, which employed Blum as a director. Blum
reportedly had an interest of upwards of $500,000 in a project backed by
Shanghai Pacific Partners.
After Feinstein was elected to the Senate in 1992, Blum
continued profiting off their ties to China. A the same time, the freshman
lawmaker was pitching herself as a “China hand” to colleagues, even once claiming “that in my
last life maybe I was Chinese.” Through her seat on the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, Feinstein led the fight on a number of initiatives seen as
being favorable to China, including granting the country permanent
most-favored-nation trading status in 2000.
Despite Feinstein and her husband having a close relationship
with Jiang, the Chinese government targeted the senator
as part of its espionage operations. In the early 2000s, the Chinese Ministry
of State Security (MSS) recruited a longtime employee of the senator to gather
information about the inner workings of her congressional and district offices.
Feinstein only learned of the staffer’s duplicity in 2013, after he’d already
been on her payroll for more than 20 years.
“While this person, who was a liaison to the local Chinese
community, was fired, charges were never filed against him,” Politico reported in 2018,
speculating that because “the staffer was providing political intelligence and
not classified information—making prosecution far more difficult.”
Apart from the convoluted history of the senator’s ties to
China, the political timing of Feinstein’s endorsement also caught many off
guard. The California Democrat, who hosted a fundraiser on Biden’s behalf
last week alongside House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) daughter, is only the most recent figure from the
Democrat establishment to openly pledge support for the former vice president.
Feinstein’s endorsement, however, was not totally expected, especially since
her seamate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), is mounting a bid of her own for the
Democrat nomination. In fact, earlier this year, Feinsten flirted with the
notion of remaining neutral in the 2020 contest out of respect for Harris.
Compounding the political picture is that most polls show Biden
no longer the favorite to win California, having fallen behind Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
Feinstein, however, did not address any of that when endorsing
the former vice president on Tuesday. Instead, the senator offered platitudes
about Biden’s work to enhance gun control and how his campaign was a “fight to
restore the soul of the nation.”
