FANG FANG, CHINA'S GREAT WHORE - BUT HAS SHE DONE MORE FOR CHINA THAN FEINSTEIN OR HUNTER?

 

Schweizer: Joe Biden ‘a Direct Beneficiary’ of Hunter Biden’s Foreign Deals

2:33

During an appearance on this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures” on Fox News Channel, Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer discussed the controversy involving President-elect Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and his foreign business dealings.

Schweizer advised that the elder Biden is a “direct beneficiary” of Hunter Biden’s dealings. He noted Hunter Biden had no “expertise” or “connections” to the deals he made overseas other than the fact that his father was serving as vice president at the time.

“[T]his is not just a Hunter Biden story … because of what Hunter Biden himself has communicated,” Schweizer told host Maria Bartiromo. “In the emails that have come out as well, Hunter Biden is quite explicit. In one particular communication with his daughter, he’s basically complaining that he pays half of the entire family’s bills. And he includes his mother and father in that and makes reference to pops. So, the point is, is that all this enrichment that has been taking place is also flowing to Joe Biden indirectly through his son, but the fact of the matter is, he’s still a beneficiary, a direct beneficiary, of these foreign deals.”

Bartiromo brought up an email from Hunter Biden about wanting a set of keys to have an office in Washington, D.C. to be shared among the Biden family and Gongwen Dong. Schweizer explained this shows how “cozy the Bidens have been with the Chinese.”

“That is a great example, symbolic example, of how the Bidens basically have blurred their political activities and their commercial activities, and how close and chummy they are,” he argued. “Let’s keep in mind, CEFC and Chairman Ye, who is the head of that company, is linked directly to the PLA. The chairman was brought up on corruption charges. There was sort of an internal purge, as it were, in China. Some of the directors of that company have direct ties to President Xi. So this is not some random Chinese company on the fringes of Chinese political life. It’s at the center of it.”

Schweizer continued, “And this is the same entity upon which Joe Biden, the so-called big guy, was going to get 10 percent. They were literally going to share office space. They were going to House the Biden Foundation and a CEFC office in the exact same office space. So, it’s very troubling. And it speaks to the fact of how cozy the Bidens have been with the Chinese.”

From China, With Love

In an incautious moment during a November 28 panel presentation in Shanghai, Professor Di Dongsheng, Vice Dean of the School of International Relations at Renmin University, the school for children of the party elite, officially spilled the beans that the China Communist Party (CCP) controls people at the top of the American government.

Dongsheng’s remarks were delivered with nationalistic pride. He mused over the narcissism endemic to Western aristocracy and the ease to which they are brought under the spell of the People’s Republic.

At first, Dongsheng’s depiction of the ease of conscripting prominent Americans and institutions to work against the interests of their own country astonished his young audience. They soon relaxed, chortling and applauding as the professor related his own triumphs as a CCP operative in recruiting new and useful American “friends.” America’s blue bloods fell easily to China’s leveraging of insatiable Western appetites for power, influence, and money.

Dongsheng exposed the liberal apparatchiks of the Fourth Estate, especially the social media moguls intent on shaping a pro-China political discourse.

Sinophiles at the New York Times and the Washington Post quickly panned the video and scrubbed all search results for Di Dongsheng off their homepages. Sinophobes at the New York PostWashington TimesAxios, and Epoch Times, however, put banner headlines on the story and got the attention of Fox’s Tucker Carlson, who highlighted the story on December 8 in his opening monologue. You can find the longer seven-minute version of Dongsheng’s presentation on Parler.

Although Guan Video Global quickly deleted the original video post, it didn’t stop China opposition and expat blogsites, such as Himalaya Global, from posting their own copies. Himalaya Global, co-founded by wealthy Chinese émigré Guo Wengui along with Steven Bannon, has been suspended by Twitter.

As proudly as Dongsheng spoke of his country’s cultivating prominent Americans, he did not touch the third rail of CCP’s campaign of espionage, the use of attractive young women to honeytrap high-value political targets. Spoken in Mandarin as meiren ji, or, beautiful person plan, it is a program largely run out of China’s main spy agency, the Ministry of State Security. It has been famously effective in the United States and Europe, entrapping, among others, the Deputy Mayor of London and the Dutch ambassador to Beijing.

China has been a feedbag for American corporatists and Beltway insiders for decades. In 2017, according to the professor, the font began to dry up with a new American president. In the eyes of Donald Trump, cozying up to China was a deal absent a return on investment. The CCP began tugging on the sleeves of their friends on Wall Street, in Congress, and in the media, but got nowhere with the White House. In three short years, Donald Trump was on track to retake the high ground, imposing tariffs, luring back American industry, and forcing concessions on unfair trade practices that had created a Great Firewall between the Chinese economy and the rest of the world.

China’s gambit at blackmail and sexploitation will play out in the outcome of America’s presidential race, largely thanks to the family’s bad boy, Hunter.  Operating through the storefront of a large Chinese energy company, CEFC, the CCP bankrolled Hunter’s numerous and lucrative business deals in China and on the European continent. They finished off the kompromat by accommodating and filming his drugs and sex sprees during business trips abroad.

While the CCP was putting the finishing touches on Hunter, China spies continued in the marbled halls of Congress.

Congressman Eric Swalwell is a rather dull California politico more widely known for stepping on a frog during a televised news interview. After years of slandering Donald Trump as a Russian patsy, his own goings on with a dishy Chinese spy, Fang Fang were revealed. She had plied her trade bundling and bedding Democrat lawmakers with ambitions for higher office.  Starting out in 2011 as a Chinese national student at a Bay Area University, her work for Asian community organizations allowed her to infiltrate the offices of many upwardly mobile northern California politicians and officials. The scope of her contacts with the Chinese consulate in San Francisco and involvement in Democrat political circles across the country brought her to the attention of federal authorities.

The FBI tells us that Fang traded sexual favors with more federal, state, and local lawmakers than we have been given names, at least one of which was videotaped during a counterintelligence probe. With the feds closing in, she somehow slipped the net in 2015 and fled back to Beijing. Her sudden escape, in the midst of an intense spy investigation, was a blunder all too common to federal probes linked to the Democrats. Perhaps we’ll never know the extent of the pillow talk between her and a smitten 40-year old Congressman who remains a member of the House Intelligence Committee.

The extent to which China has carried out honeytraps against legislators and policy wonks within the United States is not fully known. Intelligence officials familiar with these operations suggest that the number of extortionate plots may number in the thousands.

The depth to which the CCP may influence the foreign policy of Joe Biden has been difficult to plumb. He has been duplicitous towards China, perhaps symptomatic of his mental decay, offering stiff criticism at times, then appearing misinformed and dismissive on other occasions.

Biden has repeatedly denied any involvement in Hunter’s business dealings. Seized emails from his son’s computer tell a different story. Ironically, one month after the presidential election, it comes to light that federal law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the media were in cahoots to withhold knowledge of a federal tax probe and other China allegations -- perhaps so as not to damage their preferred candidate, or for fear of interfering with a Deep State plot to overturn a fair election.

The minute Biden walks into the Oval Office, America will take a back seat to China. If past is prologue, there is reason to believe that Biden family investigations involving China will be shelved. If necessary, pardons may be issued to family and friends against whom evidence has already been brought. The Durham report and any other investigations into the Machiavellian escapades of 2016 will end up in the dustbin, branded by a compliant media as delusions from the Trump era. Wall Street will be licking its chops as trade barriers and tariffs are dropped with Beijing. Millions of deaths later, China will get a free pass on culpability for the spread of COVID, perhaps even adulation over its domestic handling of the pandemic and economic recovery.

Sexspionage, graft, and influence peddling may once again put the CCP inside the Oval Office. Conspiring with Wall Street, media, and Hollywood to bring about a Trump defeat, along with the strong possibility that Joe Biden wet his beak on his son’s China dealings, China now appears on a solid footing to achieve global dominance in the next four years.

JOE BIDEN AND RED CHINA…. Has ol’ Joe served them more than Senator Dianne Feinstein?

The segment ends with an assertion that Joe Biden has been compromised, and that’s exactly correct. There hasn’t been a more China-friendly politician in the last 30 years than Biden. TUCKER CARLSON

McCarthy: FBI Briefing Revealed Swalwell Should Not Have Been Allowed or Continue to Be on Intel Committee

3:18

Friday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) offered more details about his briefing from the FBI about Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, and his alleged relationship with a Chinese spy.

McCarthy said based on the briefing that he and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) participated in, Swalwell should not be serving on the House Intelligence Committee.

“I’ve been asking for this briefing since the story broke publicly,” he said. “I was not briefed. That’s when I first learned about it. I had two different FBI briefings scheduled that were canceled on the day. And now it came on Friday, and we were briefed together, Speaker Pelosi and myself for more than an hour. I can’t tell you about what’s in it, but I can tell you this. What I learned today and anyone who was in that room with me would never allow Swalwell to be on the Intel Committee or to continue to be on it. I don’t know if the briefing before for leaders if they had the same information they have today, but if that was the case, he should not be serving.”

McCarthy said the relationship between Fang and Swalwell had gone back a considerable time. He noted Swalwell had accused President Donald Trump of participating in activities that he had been a part of regarding China.

“I can’t talk about what’s in it, but let’s talk about what’s publicly out there right now,” McCarthy explained. “It wasn’t that this spy known as a spy got to know him as a congressman but got to know him as a city councilman. It’s told in the press that they, he, she helped raise money. They called her a bundler in the press, got her into – got him into Congress. And within his second term, he got probably one of the most powerful committees. That is one of the most difficult committees to sit on that it’s not selected by your peers. It’s selected by one person; the leader of the Democratic Party and the leader of the Republican selects the Republicans. I take this quite serious where you interview. This is also the same man when you asked him a part of this committee, the questions that he raised, what he said about Russia and others, many of the questions that he raised and posed to people are made accusations about people is actually what happened to him if you read the press.

It was the FBI that went to him in the press, not he going to them. And this individual that they talk about, Christine Fang, she wasn’t in the press saying the only person in America that she was getting – making relationships with, getting to know. So, pretty – I would assume it would be pretty serious if the FBI came to you that they knew this person was a spy for another country. And then take from a moment, what are the actions that he takes just in this last month. You talk about John Ratcliffe, the Director of Intel when he said that China is our greatest threat. Swalwell didn’t say he was correct. Swalwell actually challenged him and said China is not. Now he’s a part of the Intel Committee. So, he reads the reports that I read all the time as the Gang of Eight. Anyone who reads those reports would never make that accusation and would never say that. They would agree with John Ratcliffe, and they would take actions to protect America.”

Anonymous source confirms Swalwell was having sex with Chinese spy Fang Fang

It may be purely coincidental, but on the same day that House speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader McCarthy received an intelligence briefing on Eric Swalwell's relationship with Chinese spy Fang Fang, two highly regarded conservative journalists report that an anonymous source has confirmed that he was engaged in a sexual relationship with her.

I trust both Davis and Saavedra more than I trust the New York Times, but the source remains anonymous, so we can't be 100% sure.  However, given that we know from intelligence sources that the Chinese Mata Hari was using sex with two unnamed Midwestern mayors, one of them quite elderly, and given that Swalwell refuses to deny a sexual relationship, it seems highly probable that he was doing the deed with the spy.

In that case, to use Hillary Clinton's question, "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

The answer is quite a lot.

Since Fang Fang was employing sex as a tool of espionage, she very likely was recording her sexual encounters, as that would provide leverage, what the Russians term kompromat.

One assumes that Ms. Fang received training in various sexual practices that could lure her targets into the most embarrassing possible situations.  Video, sound, and still photographs of her target's genitalia, or of him engaging in humiliating practices, for instance, could be most useful.  This is a family publication, so I won't go into specifics, but once softened up by sexual gratification, a target could be lured into all sorts of deviant, even repulsive, practices with questions like, "My darling, have you ever tried...?"

Who knows what sexual paraphernalia Ms. Fang carried with her to use in encounters with her chumps?  Who knows what fetishes she was trained to encourage her targets to sample?

Then there is the matter of pillow talk.  Besotted with heretofore undreamed of sexual experiences, a target might well reveal all sorts of things that could be useful.  Feelings about the size of his member, for instance.  Or recounting his previous experiences.  Fang Fang most likely was trained in using the post-coital moments to open the doors to self-revelation, anything not merely embarrassing, but possibly illegal, or of psychological hang-ups resulting from traumatic experiences.

Then there is the matter of official duties in office that her targets may have spoken about in the aftermath of sex.

What if she supplied illegal drugs?

I am certain that my imagination is more limited than that of her spymasters in China, so these possibilities only scratch the surface.

There is no way that a man so potentially compromised should sit on the House Intelligence Committee.  Swalwell's lack of background on foreign affairs alone makes his appointment to the plum committee suspicious.  And his behavior in office, flacking for the phony Russian election interference charges, served the interests of Beijing by distracting from their much more serious and extensive offensives to corrupt our elections, steal our intellectual property, and replace us as the world's principal economic and military power, magnifies the justified suspicions.

All of this makes the media blackout and tech censorship of the story all the worse.  The Chinese learned all too well from their own history with the West that compradors — powerful and rich domestic actors enriched by serving the interests of a foreign power — can serve to undermine even the most powerful nations.

We are being betrayed by our own compradors.



Exclusive – David Perdue: Jon Ossoff’s Chinese Communist-Linked Company Payment a ‘Huge Liability’

DALLAS, Georgia — Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) told Breitbart News Tuesday on the campaign bus that Georgia Senate Democrat candidate Jon Ossoff has a huge “liability” with his omission of a payment from a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked company, which may jeopardize Democrats’ chances of taking back the Senate.

Breitbart News reported that Ossoff failed to list a payment that his film company, Insight TWI, received a payment from Hong Kong-based PCCW Media Limited on his financial disclosure. Ossoff later amended his filings to include the payment. The Georgia GOP submitted a complaint to the Senate Ethics Committee regarding the payment. Ossoff’s campaign attributed the payment omission to a “paperwork oversight” caught during a “normal review.”

The campaign later said Ossoff received “around $1,000” from the CCP-linked media company. This conflicts with the Senate filling requirement to disclose payments that are more than $5,000.

Ossoff’s campaign did not respond to Breitbart News’s Ashley Oliver over whether Ossoff had proof of the claimed amount of $1,000.

Perdue told Breitbart News that Ossoff has been hiding the details of his work with the Chinese company from Georgians.

“There’s a lot of controversy about that; he’s not come clean about any of it. You know, he worked for the CCP company, we know that. He hid it from Georgians during the primary; he got caught then filed a document so that he wouldn’t go to jail. There’s a federal document saying that he worked for them, and yet he lied about it later in a debate,” Perdue said.  

“I think this goes back two years according to the record, he won’t tell us how much they paid him they won’t tell us what his job was, but I will tell you this that was propaganda company for the CCP. That was owned by the Chinese government,” Perdue said.

He added, “So, he’s got a lot to tell the people of the world, of course, he’s not saying a word about it.”

Perdue charged that Ossoff’s China payment has started becoming a liability for President-elect Joe Biden, which may jeopardize Democrats’ chances of gaining the Senate majority.

He said, “I think Ossoff is becoming a liability for Biden on a couple of fronts. The China one is a huge one, you know. Biden wants the Democrats to have the majority, so he’s telling these guys to back off on defunding the police, back off on China, play defense on that; we think they both ought to come clean about, particularly about Ossoff and his relationship with China.”

Perdue charged that it goes much larger than his China payments; the Georgia conservative labeled Ossoff a “career politician wannabe” who has lived off his father’s largess.

“I mean, he worked for nine years at a company his daddy bought. You know he’s never really done anything in the real world,” he said.

“It just shows you that this kid has never produced a result in his life and never produced one American job in his career, and he’s the only career politician wannabe he hasn’t been elected yet,” Perdue said.

In contrast, Perdue said he has served as a political outsider, who grew up on a farm and rose to become a successful businessman.

“You know, I’m an outsider in this political process … you know my mom and dad were schoolteachers. We grew up on a farm. We were taught about hard work, and we lived in America,” he said.

“I worked my way through Georgia Tech,” Perdue added.

“When you have a long-term [business] career like that, you sort of develop a perspective really about life and the government role in business, and I believe in limited government, and my opponent believes in bigger government. I believe in economic opportunity for everybody; they believe in socialism.”

Deep State Pushes to Deep-Six Intelligence Report Demonstrating Chinese Interference in 2020 Election

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe is considering not signing an intelligence report to Congress if it does not accurately reflect an ongoing debate among intelligence community career analysts over Chinese attempts to influence American voters in the 2020 election, according to a source familiar with the issue.

The intelligence report on foreign efforts to influence the 2020 election is due to Congress on Friday, but Ratcliffe is concerned it will not accurately reflect the debate among senior intelligence community analysts as to the extent of China’s influence operations during the election, according to the source.

There is allegedly “ample” raw intelligence about China’s intentions and actions related to the election, with more intelligence reporting coming in everyday. Some of the influence operations include social media campaigns seeking to amplify messages such as that President Donald Trump is a white supremacist.

However, senior career analysts disagree on the significance of those influence operations. Some analysts argue that they were minimal or ultimately not acted on, while others say it is extensive and far more than previously known. The disagreement includes whether there should be a China section in the report, according to the source.

Despite this serious debate, Ratcliffe is concerned that proper tradecraft — which would require that the disagreement be reflected in the report with both views represented — will not be followed simply in order to deprive President Trump of a potential political talking point.

In other words, Ratcliffe is concerned that the intelligence report would be written in a way due to politics — the very definition of politicization of intelligence, and only bury real and growing concerns about China from the intelligence community.

A senior national security official told Breitbart News on background:

Good to see Ratcliffe stepping up and addressing the China issue inside the IC. This appears to be a textbook case of intelligence being politicized by a handful of careerists in the bowels of the CIA. They don’t want to give Trump the talking points that China was engaged in election influence operations, but we all know they were.

Ratcliffe has applauded the growing focus among the intelligence community on China, which he said for the last few decades has prioritized counterterrorism. He wrote in an op-ed on December 3 in the Wall Street Journal:

Within intelligence agencies, a healthy debate and shift in thinking is already under way. For the talented intelligence analysts and operators who came up during the Cold War, the Soviet Union and Russia have always been the focus. For others who rose through the ranks at the turn of this century, counterterrorism has been top of mind. But today we must look with clear eyes at the facts in front of us, which make plain that China should be America’s primary national security focus going forward.

The intelligence report would go to Congress in a classified form, but would be released in an unclassified form to the public weeks afterwards, which will certainly fuel public discussion on Chinese election interference, as President-Elect Joe Biden seeks to move past what for many was a contested outcome.

The current IC debate is similar to a debate that was not reflected in the Obama administration 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, which alleged Russia interfered in the 2016 election to specifically hurt Hillary Clinton and help Trump.

There was fierce debate among intelligence agencies over whether Russia’s goal was to help Trump or just to sow discord, but that debate was not reflected in the ICA, which was then used as a talking point by the left that the Trump campaign and Russia had colluded. After several years and millions of dollars, Special Counsel Robert Mueller found there was no criminal collusion, conspiracy, or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The intelligence report only covers foreign influence operations related to the election, not voter or election fraud or election security.

From China, With Love

Sanctimony is proving to be a bad look for Rep. Eric Swalwell.

 

 

Sanctimony is proving to be a bad look for Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., since Axios reported on his ties with a suspected Chinese spy. Fang Fang, also known as Christine Fang, insinuated herself with a number of up-and-coming U.S. politicians between 2011 and 2015. Swalwell was the biggest fish.

The Chinese national's efforts, Axios reported, included raising money for Swalwell's 2014 reelection campaign. Fang also helped place at least one intern in Swalwell's House office.

According to Axios, Swalwell did nothing wrong and was unaware Fang may have been working for Beijing until U.S. intelligence officials alerted him in 2015. Swalwell cut off all ties with Fang, who left the United States.

Problem: If you judge Swalwell by the standard he applied to President Donald Trump, he shouldn't hold public office. Swalwell frequently met with an operative of a foreign government who was helping his campaign. When Trump campaign dons had one meeting with a Russian national with ties to the Kremlin, Swalwell called that collusion.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report concluded Trump's campaign did not collude with Russia's "sweeping and systematic" interference in the 2016 election. Didn't matter. Swalwell still saw "strong evidence of collusion."

Of course, House Republicans have started to demand that Swalwell surrender his seat on the House Intelligence Committee. As I write this, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has no such concerns.

I wonder why a national security apparatus that did not warn Trump about Russian mischief in 2016, even after he won office, nonetheless did warn Intelligence Committee member Swalwell and other elected officials in Fang's orbit in 2015. And unlike the Russian probe, there were no press leaks at the time.

Swalwell's reaction to the Axios story has been telling. On CNN, the California Democrat argued the story initially was leaked as he was working to impeach Trump. (It took a year to report the story out.)

Swalwell is peddling a dangerous conceit — that others seek to discredit him because he is so upright.

After railing against Russian mischief, Swalwell apparently believes China's meddling doesn't count as news.

Axios' Jonathan Swan scoffed at the suggestion the Trump team was behind the leak. "Does anybody remotely familiar with Trumpworld actually believe they would dump oppo & then spend *more than a year* waiting for the reporter — a widely-respected China correspondent — to report out a nuanced story?" Swan tweeted. "Give me a break. They would wait a week then launder it w a friendly."

Swalwell's office isn't talking, but sent me the statement sent to Axios: "Rep. Swalwell, long ago, provided information about this person — whom he met more than eight years ago, and whom he hasn't seen in nearly six years — to the FBI. To protect information that might be classified, he will not participate in your story."

Swalwell used to be my congressman. I met him in 2012, apparently shortly after Fang, who was on the lookout for politicians with a future, befriended him.

In a daring move, the then-city councilman for Dublin, California, challenged entrenched but out-of-touch incumbent Rep. Pete Stark, a fellow Democrat whom Esquire rated among the 10 worst lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Swalwell won that David versus Goliath contest.

Within a decade, Swalwell ran for president — briefly, as he got out of the Democratic primary in July 2019 — even as he had to know this story would come out and he'd have to have better answers.

Now Swalwell is the politician who seems out of touch. He runs onto cable TV at the drop of the hat to condemn Trump for colluding with Russia, and it turns out he was an unwitting tool for China. So he ought to have a little humility.
