THESE BRIBES SUCKERS REALLY THINK WE'RE A PACK OF FOOLS!
If Yellen and Power really cared about corruption and saving democracy, they would go after their boss
The Washington Post has published an opinion piece from Janet Yellen and Samantha Power that says that to save democracy the U.S must fight global corruption. It had to be a satire because they work for a man who has been knowingly corrupt for a long time and they obviously don’t care.
To uphold democracy, the U.S. must fight global corruption
Opinion ● Opinion by Janet L. Yellen and Samantha Power
Around the world, in countries as varied as Russia, Venezuela and China, the wealthy and the well-connected launder their assets through complex networks of shell companies or transactions involving art, real estate and, occasionally, cryptocurrencies. Sometimes those gains are ill-gotten and sometimes they are legitimately earned but illicitly hidden to evade taxes. But what links all corrupt acts is that they take resources from citizens, undermine public trust and — ultimately — threaten the progress of those who fight for democracy.
The media, corrupt, politicized Justice Department, Jen Psaki, members of the Biden Administration and other Democrats have known for a long time that Biden and his family are corrupt and they don’t care, either.
They know that Hunter Biden repeatedly rode on Air Force Two with his dad as he went around the world collecting kickbacks for his family connections. And they don’t care.
They have seen evidence that Joe was very involved with the deals, and lied when he said he had never discussed Hunter’s business dealings and they don’t care.
They have seen evidence that Hunter got millions from Ukraine, Russia and China and they don’t care.
They have seen evidence that Joe shared a bank account with Hunter and Hunter used money to pay Joe’s bills and they don’t care.
They clearly know that Hunter’s art works would not be worth as much if Joe wasn’t President and they don’t care who buys them.
They don’t even care that Biden blackmailed Ukraine, with $1 billion of taxpayer money, if they didn’t fire a prosecutor looking into corruption of a company giving millions in kickbacks to Hunter for a no-show job.
But the media and other Democrats impeached Trump for wanting to investigate the clear corruption. Do Yellen and Power want to look into that corruption?
The media never cared about the Hunter laptop. They buried the story with fake claims that it was Russian misinformation because they were campaigning for Biden. They couldn’t afford for the public to see the truth.
Of course, the same people never cared when the Clinton family was taking massive kickbacks while they were in power.
Hillary could commit as many crimes as she wanted, and they would still support her for President.
It is easy to tell that the donations to the Clinton Foundation and high speech fees were kickbacks for political favors because the donations and speeches dried up as soon as she had nothing to trade.
The media know that the Obama/Biden Justice Department and IRS were corrupt and politicized as they targeted political opponents instead of criminals and tax cheats but they don’t care.
The DOJ targets parents instead of corrupt politicians. They sue states like Texas for their election maps but don’t go after Illinois. They target Republican states for election integrity laws but never cared that election officials in Democrat run states routinely violated state election laws.
It is no wonder that there is rampant corruption and crime throughout the country when most of the media supports corrupt politicians and politicians who are soft on crime as long as they are pushing the leftist’s agenda to remake or destroy America.
If Yellen and Power really cared about corruption, they would go after Biden and Hillary, but they support them.
What do you call journalists who support corrupt politicians and even bury truthful stories to hide the corruption from the public? Wouldn’t enemies of the American people be appropriate?
They have seen evidence that Joe shared a bank account with Hunter and Hunter used money to pay Joe’s bills and they don’t care. JACK HELLNER
Hunter is reportedly under investigation for tax and money laundering schemes, CNN first reported in 2020. The FBI is allegedly investigating whether Hunter and his associates violated “tax and money laundering laws in business dealings in foreign countries, principally China, according to two people briefed on the probe.”
White House Flags Art Industry for Money Laundering While Permitting Hunter to Sell Art to Anonymous Buyers
The White House flagged money laundering in the art industry on Monday as a point of corruption while allowing Hunter Biden to sell his artwork to anonymous buyers for as much as $500,000.
The first report of its kind named the United States Strategy on Countering Corruption is geared towards exploring the ways and means “government officials abuse public power for private gain.”
Though the White House’s report specifically focused on the art industry as a “market” where financial crimes occur, it did not mention the Biden family’s involvement with corruption, such as Hunter’s art selling scheme to investors while his father is president.
Hunter has reportedly sold multiple pieces of art for at least $75,000 this fall to anonymous buyers, and the New York Times reported first lady Jill Biden has allegedly displayed Hunter’s artwork in the White House.
The White House has defended Hunter’s scheme as consistent with “the highest ethical standards.” Nevertheless, the report flagged the following about the art industry’s criminal pliability:
The markets for art and antiquities—and the market participants who facilitate transactions—are especially vulnerable to a range of financial crimes. Built-in opacity, lack of stable and predictable pricing, and inherent cross-border transportability of goods sold, make the market optimal for illicit value transfer, sanctions evasion, and corruption.
The art industry’s corruption is vast. Art “can be hidden or smuggled,” the National Law Review wrote. “Transactions often are private, and prices can be subjective and manipulated — as well as extremely high”:
Once purchased, the art can disappear from view for years, even decades. A lot of the art bought at auctions goes to freeports – ultra-secure warehouses for the collections of millionaires and billionaires, ranging from Picassos and gold to vintage Ferraris and fine wine.
The freeports, which exist in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Singapore, offer a variety of tax advantages because the goods stored in them are technically in transit. The Economist magazine reported that the freeport near the Geneva airport alone is thought to hold $100 billion (U.S.) of art.
Once inside the freeport, the art can be sold privately and anonymously to other buyers. The art need never leave the warehouse after the private sale is completed.
The White House report also outlined tax crimes as “interconnected” acts of corruption with money laundering. “For example, a World Bank study of 25,000 firms in 57 countries found that firms that pay more bribes also evade more taxes,” the report stated.
Hunter is reportedly under investigation for tax and money laundering schemes, CNN first reported in 2020. The FBI is allegedly investigating whether Hunter and his associates violated “tax and money laundering laws in business dealings in foreign countries, principally China, according to two people briefed on the probe.”
The White House issued the report days before the Biden-Harris administration will host the virtual Summit for Democracy, which will focus on “challenges and opportunities facing democracies.” Those in attendance at the event will “include over 100 participants from governments, civil society and the private sector,” the Hill reported.
