Tucker Carlson: Democrats, Media Proclaim Hunter Biden Emails Are ‘Disinformation Campaign’

Monday, Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson evaluated the response to the bombshell New York Post report about recovered Hunter Biden emails allegedly tying Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, which has been portrayed by the Democrats and the media as a so-called “disinformation campaign.”

According to Carlson, the media effort to categorize the Post story as “disinformation” was another example of promoting Biden’s candidacy for the November election.

Transcript as follows:

CARLSON: Last week, The New York Post published one of the great scoops of the year. The paper’s editors got a copy of the hard drive from Hunter Biden’s personal laptop. On it were tens of thousands of emails, videos, texts, and photographs.

Much of the material on the laptop is of limited relevance to the public. Not everything a famous person does in the course of a day has news value. Some of the pictures in the laptop were sad and weird, of prurient interest only. We’re not going to show the bad ones on this show.

And by the way, if we’re being honest, some of the exchanges between Hunter Biden and his father, and they are on there, too, reveal that whatever you say about them, Joe Biden really loves his son, and they’re touching we want to be honest about that.

But there’s one very newsworthy series of emails and they stuck out. They showed that as Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden tailored American foreign policy, our foreign policy, which Joe Biden does not own, in order to help his son’s business interests.

Biden intervened aggressively in the internal affairs of another sovereign nation, Ukraine, and his son got paid for that.

By any measure, that is a real story. There’s no spinning it. That’s the story.

But then, very quickly, something bigger than that happened, something far more dangerous to our country than anything, The New York Post found on hunter Biden’s laptop. Here’s what happened.

The most powerful people in the world aligned to censor the news, to keep it from the population of the United States. Twitter prevented its users from sharing the story, so did Facebook.

When Americans search Google to read The New York Post story, many couldn’t find it. So within hours, the promise of a free press that the basis of American democracy and has been for 250 years, just disappeared.

One minute we were America; the next minute, we were China. Horrifying.

And perhaps most horrifying of all, our news media applauded it. The self- described guardians of the First Amendment cheered the destruction of the First Amendment. The New York Times actually ran an op-ed attacking the idea of free speech. Ideas that threaten the ruling class must be squelched, put down. That’s their position.

Every power center in America vehemently agreed with that, and most ominous of all, the U.S. Intelligence Community, the secretive Federal agencies that have nearly unlimited power joined in. Those agencies colluded with the news media to hide information from the American public weeks before a presidential election.

On Saturday, USA Today kicked off the effort by publishing one of the most dishonest newspaper stories ever to run in this country. Federal authorities are investigating, the paper declared, whether the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop was, quote, “Part of a smoke bomb of disinformation pushed by Russia.”

The Russians did it. That was the point of the piece. In fact, it was the only point of the piece.

The newspaper never bothered to assess whether the core story was true: are the facts right? And that used to be the very first and most important question in journalism. Is the allegation true? Everything else flows from that.

But USA Today didn’t even ask that question, nor did the newspaper explain how this Russian plot might have worked in practical terms.

The computer repair shop owner in Wilmington, for example, he must have been in on it. He had physical possession of the laptop. So, is this seemingly mild mannered Mac repairman yet another one of Vladimir Putin’s handpicked sleeper agents? Had he been lying in wait in a Delaware strip mall for decades preparing for just this moment?

USA Today didn’t tell us. They didn’t need to tell us because the rest of the media understood instantly what to do.

“FBI Probed if Purported Hunter Biden emails are a Russian Plot,” declared Bloomberg News. PBS, which you pay for, it is publicly funded, cited a quote, “senior former Intelligence official” whose salary you also pay declaim that Rudy Giuliani was likely channeling Russian disinformation.

So the former Mayor of New York is working for Vladimir Putin, too. That’s how vast this conspiracy was. Reporters in Washington and New York frantically called their many sources in the permanent National Security State for more details.

From his perch on Twitter, desiccated neo-con ghoul, David Frum cheered them on. Vast experience lying in the run up to the Iraq War, he put those talents to use.

In this frenzy to find this new batch of Russian spies, the media did miss a few — obviously — it’s for example, two people reporters forgot to call were Joe and Hunter Biden. Presumably the Bidens could have confirmed whether or not the famous laptop was real and that would have ended the speculation. It would have informed the rest of us. But somehow no one thought to do that.

Finally, last Friday night, one reporter, Bo Erickson of CBS blurted out the question to Joe Biden himself, and here’s what happened next.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BO ERICKSON, CBS NEWS REPORTER: Mr. Biden, what is your response to the New York Post story about your son, sir?

JOE BIDEN (D), DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: I know you you’d ask it. I have no response. It’s another smear campaign. It’s right up your alley. They are the questions you always ask.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: Oh, it’s a smear campaign right up your alley. I have no response, said Joe Biden. Biden, you didn’t deny the story because he knows that laptop from the Delaware repair shop did in fact belong to his son, Hunter, and we know it, too. We confirmed that conclusively last week.

Everything we have learned since then, and there has been a lot that we’ve learned since then, bolsters that conclusion. The laptop in question belonged to our Hunter Biden. Period. It is not a Russian fabrication.

So Bo Erickson of CBS asked a legitimate question. And for that very reason, within minutes, Democratic operatives, including many in the media landed on him.

The point of attacking, a man who appears to be a fairly liberal CBS reporter was to send a message to the rest of the press corps, shut up and obey the narrative, or else.

According to Greg Sargent of The Washington Post quote, “The real problem here is this is a useless question from a journalistic perspective. Large parts of the story are invented, unconfirmed, highly dubious. What is learned by placing the work of denying them on Biden?” End quote.

Notice, Greg Sargent doesn’t explain what parts are unconfirmed or false. No part of the story, no email has been shown to be false. They’re not even claiming it’s false. It doesn’t matter.

Another Democratic operative called John Favreau called The New York Post story, Russian disinformation and concluded rather Biden was too nice.

Michael McFaul, he now works at Stanford, he used to work in the Obama administration for five years, attacked Bo Ericsson for quote, “discussing disinformation.” You’re not even allowed to discuss it.

Then the actor of Alec Baldwin wrote this, quote, “Take the beat down. Learn from it and move on.”

What is this? It’s happening in concert all at one time. What you’re watching is the most powerful people in America aligning as one to hide legitimate information from the public. This is not the way our country used to operate. Are you terrified yet? You should be terrified. Because it worked. That’s why they do it because it works.

Here are the questions reporters are asking Joe Biden now.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BIDEN: All right. Happy milk shake.

QUESTION: Mr. Biden, what flavor did you get?

BIDEN: We got one vanilla, one chocolate, but I wanted to get what we call black and white, but we’re going to move it — we’re going to split it.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: “What flavor did you get?” That was the question. This is a man who has relatively few opportunities to speak to the press, and when they get a chance, they ask, “What flavor did you get?”

And if you don’t want to end up like Bo Erickson of CBS, that’s the kind of question you’d better ask the Democratic nominee for President with fewer than two weeks to go until Election Day.

So after Joe Biden gave his answer, “one vanilla, one chocolate” in case you missed the answer, another reporter had a follow up. Listen to how that went.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

QUESTION: I have one more question, the FBI is …

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: So the second the words FBI emerged, Joe Biden walks away. And yet that’s not even the worst part of the clip you just saw. The worst part is the other journalists. They burst out laughing before they even hear the rest of the question.

Asking about the FBI was unapproved. You can’t talk about that, so the journalists laughed it down. That is state media protecting the powerful.

No one thought to ask Biden why if the laptop is a Russian invention, there’s a letter from Hunter Biden’s lawyer asking for the laptop back. Is he part of the conspiracy, too? We don’t know. And we’re not going to learn because Joe Biden has now gone into hiding until Thursday’s debate.

That means the media can continue to collude unimpeded with our spy agencies to lie to you. It’s the Russians because Russia, and repeat after us as we say this until you reflexively believe it, because Russia is the greatest threat we face.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We’ve got a person named Donald Trump, who has been warned that he is receiving and is now regurgitating, repeating and disseminating disinformation that he knows to be fabricated and supplied by a foreign intelligence service, and despite the warning, he is still doing it.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You have said this entire thing is so obviously a Russian plot. It is to me and I was never even an Ambassador to the Russian Federation. Tell me why it’s so obviously a Russian plot to you.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Rudy basically functioning as a Russian asset by pushing Russian disinformation.

BRIAN STELTER, CNN CHIEF MEDIA CORRESPONDENT: CNN reported on Friday, the U.S. authorities are seeing if those emails we just talked about are connected to an ongoing Russian disinformation effort.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: You know, at some point you’ve got to be honest and say, who cares what’s on Hunter Biden’s laptop. What you just saw is the real threat, the powerful — the most powerful in our country colluding to dismiss legitimate questions using a fake threat of Russian disinformation. That’s scary.

Rest assured, though, unnamed U.S. authorities are on the case getting to the bottom of this Russian plot. There’s no evidence of wrongdoing, of course, but they’re still on the case.

Who are these authorities exactly? And who are they working for?

Well, on Saturday, Senator Chris Murphy, a sitting senator from Connecticut let us know. Murphy is a Democrat. He sits on the Foreign Intelligence Committee. Here’s what he wrote, quote, “Joe Biden and all of us should be furious that media outlets are spreading what is very likely Russian propaganda. I’ve seen the Intel. The mainstreaming of misinformation is Russia’s 2020 goal.” End quote.

That’s worse than anything Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin ever said and dumber. “I’ve seen the Intel.” Notice that Senator Murphy of Connecticut didn’t tell us what the so-called Intel said, much less show it to the rest of us so we could evaluate it for ourselves.

Powerful people have seen the Intel, you haven’t. You must take their word for it. Otherwise, maybe you’re working for Vladimir Putin. Maybe you’re a Russian spy. You want to get accused of that? Of treason? I don’t think so. So just take it on faith, pal.

Adam Schiff is working that line for years now. This week, he was back at it.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

REP. ADAM SCHIFF (D-CA): Well, we know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin.

But clearly the origins of this whole smear are from the Kremlin, and the President is only too happy to have Kremlin help in trying to amplify it.

I think we know who the driving force behind this smear has been all along. And it’s been the President and the Kremlin. He has been the gift that doesn’t stop giving for the Kremlin.

And this particular smear, though, has also been acknowledged to come from the Kremlin, and there it is, in the Oval Office, another wonderful propaganda coup for Vladimir Putin, seeing the President of the United States holding up a newspaper, promoting Kremlin propaganda.

It’s really incredible.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: “It’s really incredible,” says Adam Schiff. Hard to believe he is still on television. Well, it is incredible. In fact, it’s so incredible, it’s not even true.

This morning, the person who was in charge of gathering Intelligence in this country, in charge of all the Intel agencies conceded that in fact, this hysteria is an utter crock. There is no evidence the Russians are putting stories in The New York Post. That is insane.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOHN RATCLIFFE, DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: Let me be clear, the Intelligence Community doesn’t believe that, because there’s no Intelligence that supports that, and we have shared no Intelligence with Chairman Schiff or any other Member of Congress that Hunter Biden’s laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign. It’s simply not true.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: There’s no Intelligence that supports that. Yes. OK. We’re not in the Intelligence Community, so we can’t verify that. We can’t tell you there’s no evidence that supports it. And evidence, actual evidence is what the rest of us make decisions based on and there’s no evidence.

And by the way, once again, no one in Joe Biden’s campaign has said these emails or text messages are false, and if so, which ones are false? And how are they false? They’re not even claiming that.

So these claims are coming from anonymous sources and media hacks, and that’s it.

On Sunday, a Biden campaign surrogate called Jenna Arnold acknowledged that on this channel, watch this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LELAND VITTERT, FOX NEWS CHANNEL NEWS PRESENTER: Can anyone say that these emails are inauthentic? And so far, I haven’t heard anybody say that.

JENNA ARNOLD, BIDEN CAMPAIGN SURROGATE: Yes, I think that’s fair. I don’t think anybody’s saying. I don’t think anybody is saying they are inauthentic.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: “I don’t think anybody is saying they are inauthentic.” Well, OK, then why don’t you respond to them? But in fact, many are saying they are inauthentic.

False claims of Russian interference in our democracy are now a well-established fact of American political life. Like fears about climate change and white supremacy, they are very useful to the people in charge, because those fears can be leveraged to strip you instantly of your constitutional rights and that’s exactly what’s going on now.

Now you know why they’re doing it, for the next two weeks, the point is to defeat Donald Trump, and they may succeed in doing that.

But for the rest of us who plan to stay in this country, the real worry is what happens after that.

Joe Biden’s Transition Co-Chair Hosted Hunter Biden-Linked Chinese Elites at Obama White House

HARIS ALIC

 

19 Oct 2020

The co-chair of Joe Biden’s transition team 
hosted a select group of Chinese business and political elites at the Obama-era White House after prodding from Hunter Biden’s business associates.

In November 2011, Jeff Zients, then-deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), hosted the Chinese Entrepreneur Club (CEC) for a special meeting at the White House. The CEC, founded in 2006 and often referred to as the “richest club” in the People’s Republic of China, counts among its members some of the richest and most influential personalities in Chinese society.

At the time, the meeting did not draw much attention. However, emails published this week by Peter Schweizer, a senior contributor at Breitbart News and president of the Government Accountability Institute, indicated just how important of a role Hunter Biden and his business associates, including Devon Archer, played in making the White House visit happen.

The emails showed that on November 5, 2011, a colleague of Archer’s reached out to suggest there was an opportunity to gain “outstanding new clients.” According to the email, copies of which were published exclusively by Breitbart News, the colleague told Archer that the CEC had been trying for some time to arrange meetings with high-ranking Obama administration officials when they visited Washington, DC, in mid-November.

“A tour of the White House and a meeting with a member of the chief of staff’s office and [then-Secretary of State] John Kerry would be great,” the colleague wrote.

Up to that point, the CEC had tried and failed to obtain access to the Obama administration.

“From the DC side as you will see below they [CEC] have written letters to several members of the administration and others and have so far not had a strong reaction,” the colleague wrote Archer.

Archer discussed the CEC’s request with two other associates, Gary Fears and Bevan Cooney. Fears, in particular, told Archer to follow-up on the request since the CEC delegation could be “perfect” for a fertilizer mining venture the trio was then pursuing.

Although it is unclear exactly what transpired after the emails reached Archer, only nine days later, on November 14, 2011, the CEC had secured its meeting at the Obama White House. Administration records indicate that a delegation of 30 CEC members received a tour of the White House and met with then-Commerce Secretary John Bryson.

The delegation also, according to its members, met privately with Hunter Biden’s father, then-Vice President Joe Biden. At the time, the vice president was playing a leading role in the Obama administration’s policy towards Beijing. Just that past May, Biden had taken part in talks between the U.S. and China on how to improve “strategic and economic” relations.

Exactly how Archer and his associates arranged the meeting for the CEC is unknown. Visitor logs, though, show that Zients, who was in charge of restructuring the administration’s trade agencies, was the official host for the CEC delegation. It is likely that any arrangement made by Hunter Biden or associates ran through him or the OMB.

After the meeting, Zients would go on to be promoted to acting director of OMB after his superior Jack Lew ascended to the position of White House Chief of Staff. In March 2014, Zients was appointed to lead the National Economic Council, a position he held until Obama left office in 2017.

Since leaving office, Zients appears to have kept in close contact with the Bidens. In September, Biden appointed him to co-chair the presidential transition task force, which will be responsible for staffing a potential Biden White House.

The former vice president’s campaign did not respond to requests for this story.

Biden as president imperils the nation in ways never experienced before.

“All in all, it was an incredible victory for the Chinese government. Feinstein has done more for Red China than other any serving U.S. politician. “ Trevor Loudon

 

“Our entire crony capitalist system, Democrat and Republican alike, has become a kleptocracy approaching par with third-world hell-holes.  This is the way a great country is raided by its elite.” ---- Karen McQuillan  

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.

Do the Chinese Own Joe Biden?

By J. Robert Smith

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]

While the U.S. under Donald Trump’s leadership has routinely contested the PRC’s fraudulent claim to the South China Sea as its territorial waters, the strike group’s deployment involves much more this time.  It targets recent PRC threats to Taiwan.  President Trump intends selling advanced weapon systems to Taiwan as a counter to mounting Chinese threats.  If war comes with the PRC, sooner rather than later, Taiwan is the flashpoint. 

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.

 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.”

Democrats Dodge the Real Reparations

How about all the damage caused by the China virus and Islamic terror?

Thu Oct 15, 2020 

Lloyd Billingsley

“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

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 …

When it was announced that Hunter Biden would be quitting the board of a Chinese equity firm, lots of news outlets credulously reported it.

Six months later, records indicate that Hunter has not, in fact, quit.

Will the mainstream media be following up? https://twitter.com/GOP/status/1250584309188177927 …

 

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.”

FEINSTEIN HAS SPENT HER POLITICAL LIFE STALKING THE HALLS OF CONGRESS SNIFFING OUT DEALS THAT PUT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IN HER POCKETS.

IN THE November 2006 election, the voters demanded congressional ethics reform. And so, the newly appointed chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is now duly in charge of regulating the ethical behavior of her colleagues. But for many years, Feinstein has been beset by her own ethical conflict of interest, say congressional ethics experts.

 

“All in all, it was an incredible victory for the Chinese government. Feinstein has done more for Red China than other any serving U.S. politician. “ Trevor Loudon

Senator Who Employed Chinese Spy Endorses Joe Biden for President…don’t you wonder why???

HARIS ALIC

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.”
