Biden's Criminal Enterprise
In creating a free and open system, the framers of the Constitution recognized that corrupting influence from foreign powers was a real threat. They were particularly concerned about a corruptible American president. In his famous Farewell Address of 1796, George Washington issued a stern warning against the poisonous influence of foreign governments on the affairs of the new United States of America. He said, "Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence... the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government."
The Founders were idealists but also realists, and they recognized that people’s private ambitions and thirst for power or money were powerful motivators. They understood that the human condition was flawed, and that goodness of human nature could not be relied upon. So, they set up a system of checks and balances of power in the three branches of the legislative, the executive and the judiciary, and in a federal system of divided power between states and the federal government. They understood it was necessary to create these competing and redundant structures to guard against abuse of power and corruption. But they went even further.
The Constitution created two other safeguards against corruption in the impeachment powers of Article II, Section 4 and in the emoluments clause in Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution. The latter prohibits any person holding a government office from accepting any present, emolument, office, or title from any foreign state without congressional consent. With these safeguards, the Founders believed they had created a governmental system better than any prior to forestall domestic public vice and the corruption that would come from foreign influence. Still, Washington’s Farewell Address of 1797 framed the issue in ways that are as relevant today as they were 227 years ago, when he wrote:
The nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave… to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury… So, likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification.
The standard for impeachment as expressed in the Constitution is conviction of Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
President Joe Biden’s questionable activities go back to his first year as Vice President in 2009 and continued throughout his eight years serving in the two-term Obama administration, punctuated with son Hunter being paid $1 million a year as a board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma in 2014. That role continued for more than four years, with a large $10 million dollar payoff from Burisma coming to Hunter and Joe Biden after the latter blackmailed Ukraine by threatening the withholding of $1 billion in U.S. aid unless prosecutor general Victor Shokin was fired from the corruption investigation of Burisma in March of 2016 -- an investigation that would have exposed fraud, including questionable payments to Hunter Biden. FBI documents refer to the two $5 million payments to Hunter and Joe Biden as a 'bribe' paid by Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky.
The case for impeaching President Joe Biden goes beyond bribery and emolument high crimes related to Ukraine. In 2014, Hunter Biden introduced his father, then Vice President, to Kazakhstan oligarch Kenes Rakishev at a dinner. Records and testimony obtained by James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee show that at that time of introducing Rakishev to Vice President Biden, Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer were working on a deal involving Burisma, on whose board they both served, and a Chinese company that would have been based in Kazakhstan. To facilitate the deal and his relationship with Archer and the Bidens, Rakishev wired $142,300 to Rosemont Seneca -- a shell company created by Devon and Hunter -- the exact amount needed to fund Hunter's sportscar purchase the next day.
Another mysterious payment to the Bidens came during that same year. Shortly after Joe Biden was introduced to Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina at a dinner meeting in February 2014, $3.5 million was wired to Rosemont Seneca by Baturina.
These kinds of payments to the Bidens coming from oligarchs from Ukraine and other countries are way beyond a level where impeachment and removal from office is justified. Also, the means of transferring and distributing funds follows the pattern of international criminal enterprises. The Bidens were involved with the creation of some twenty shell companies for the purpose of concealing money transfers from foreign nationals and then distributing those transferred funds to as many as nine different Biden family members.
As egregious as all these payments and shell game money transfers were, the scope and scale of Biden deal activities in China crosses a new threshold requiring urgent correction.
China engages in unrestricted warfare against the United States, something that the Founders could hardly fathom. Blackmail was not then a term in wide usage, having first been coined in Scotland in the 17th century. Today blackmail is one of the chief tools in China’s massive elite capture program in the United States, giving them control over many in government in the United States -- with the top elite family in the U.S. being Joe Biden’s family. Preliminary records assembled in 2021 and 2022 by investigative journalists without subpoena power or access to bank records show that the Chinese elite have paid some $31 million to the Biden family. For the Chinese, these payments were and are about control and blackmail, which may explain why Biden more than any other U.S. president has pursued policies that have weakened the United States and helped China.
Bring on impeachment and let the hearings on the Bidens’ involvement in China begin.

How China Is Winning the Narrative War, and Who's Helping
In their 1999 book Unrestricted Warfare, Chinese colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui posited that the battlefields of the future would be "virtually infinite." Much of the fighting, they said, would be done without fighting: using ideological infiltration and propaganda to craft a narrative, the Chinese brand of communism could be made to find acceptance in the world of the free market and individual rights, ultimately causing the latter's collapse. Expectedly, the chief target of this "smokeless war" is the U.S.
How alarmingly successful the Chinese have been has been brought home by a recent New York Times exposé of the activities of Marxist millionaire Neville Roy Singham. China's tentacles reach wide and deep to control newspapers, TV, the internet, non-profits and sundry groups espousing far-left causes – all in the service of China's quest for global hegemony. Under President Xi Jinping, not only have state media operations been expanded, sympathetic foreign influencers and news outlets have been cultivated. It is in these operations that Singham plays a major role.
The 69-year-old Singham is the son of the late Archibald Singham, a Sri Lankan Marxist scholar who consorted with Fidel Castro and was committed to the "liberation of Third World peoples." As a young man, the junior Singham joined the Maoist group League of Revolutionary Black Workers. After graduating from Howard University, he founded ThoughtWorks, a tech consulting firm, in 1993. It grew to employ 4,500 people across 15 countries, and made him a millionaire. From 2001 to 2008, he was a consultant to Huawei, which tested face recognition software used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to target Uyghurs for repression and is deemed a national security threat by the U.S.
Ironically, during this successful entrepreneurial journey, Singham seems to have concluded that the Chinese economic system was preferable to that of the West. In 2017 – also the year he married Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans – he sold ThoughtWorks for $785 million and devoted himself to leftist propaganda. He now works from offices in Shanghai and New York's Times Square, playing benefactor to far-left groups, which he funds through a network of shell companies and NGOs. He denies the NYT allegation that he works closely with the Chinese government.
Through the shell firms – some of which have no more presence than UPS store mailbox addresses – Singham bankrolls American leftist groups, a Massachusetts-based think tank, a political party in South Africa, and media groups in Brazil and India. His funds also support training for left-leaning activists and politicians across Africa. The common factor in all his beneficiaries is that they push Chinese propaganda, presenting China as benign even as it gobbles up land in Africa, bribes politicians, and creates debt crises in Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, many other countries, and virtually across Africa, to eventually gain strategic leverage.
In India, Singham has been funding NewsClick, a progressive website that has featured articles such as China Claims to Achieve Eradication of Absolute Poverty; Can China Lead the Way to a Low Cost, Low Carbon Future?; Economically, US is a Declining Power, China is a Rising Power; and How US Aggression on China Will Destabilize Global Trade & Tech. Referencing the recent film Oppenheimer, NewsClick asked, 'Who is the Real Enemy of the People?' and claimed that Western media had been "spinning nefarious tales" of China and Russia's growing influence in West Africa and Sahel.
In September 2021, India's Directorate of Enforcement (ED), which investigates and prosecutes economic crimes, raided NewsClick's offices as part of a money-laundering probe. The ED case against the portal is that it received illegal foreign funding, routed through a Singham-owned entity. At the time, NewsClick and other media groups had cried foul, alleging a crackdown on media that was critical of the Narendra Modi government.
But the ED's findings are now confirmed by the NYT investigation, which has tracked millions of dollars flowing from Singham-controlled entities to groups that mix progressive advocacy with "Chinese government talking points." Meanwhile, a chain of emails between the Shanghai-based businessman and NewsClick editor Prabir Purkayastha affirms their collusion in defending China's position on Covid-19, supporting farmers' protests in India, and collaborating with Indian communists to defend China on its border clashes with India.
Singham's marriage to Evans, too, is not untouched by the China angle. Since the marriage, 25% of Code Pink's funding has come from groups linked to Singham. As late as 2015, before dating Singham, Evans had protested China's brutal repression of women. When they became romantically involved, she started portraying China as "a defender of the oppressed" and "a model for economic growth without slavery and war." She defended the Uyghur genocide, well documented by the radical leftist Amnesty International and the NYT, describing victims as terrorists. After marrying Singham, she declared, "If the U.S. crushes China, it would cut off hope for the human race and life on Earth." She now says China is not an existential threat; it wants peaceful relations with the West, but the U.S. is intent on escalating the conflict.
Code Pink has since worked to present China in a good light. In 2020, it lobbied members of the Congress through a 'China is Not Our Enemy' campaign, advocating a conciliatory approach to the Red Dragon. In June this year, it protested at the office of Rep. Seth Moulton, denying evidence of any problems – even forced labor – in Xinjiang, and calling the human rights charges against China "a total lie."
Post-marriage, Evans set up the People's Support Foundation (PSF), a non-profit capitalized with $163.7 million, aiming to "empower people through education, research and community." It receives tax-deductible donations through the Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund, a "donor-advised charity" that can conceal the funding source. According to its 2019 tax filings, PSF has assets of over $156 million and has made charitable disbursements of over $12 million, mostly to progressive entities and causes in sub-Saharan Africa.
After Singham's sale of ThoughtWorks, many of its employees began showing up for work at the nearby PSF headquarters. The PSF's China-favoring activities were overseen by Chad Wathington, chief strategy officer of ThoughtWorks. There is an extensive labyrinth of money flow and sharing of personnel among affiliated NGOs, who all defend the Chinese government against charges of human rights abuse and instead blame the U.S. for waging "information warfare" against China. Since funds are disbursed as pass-through donations, the channels are difficult to trace.
The NYT investigation indicates that Singham is linked to hundreds of millions of dollars pouring into China advocacy groups. One such outlet, which receives money from Shanghai's propaganda department, produces a YouTube show with millions of views. Two others work with a Chinese university to amplify China's narrative to the world.
Singham shares office space and staff with a Chinese propaganda company. He influences politics by running candidates in foreign elections, meeting with congressional aides, and organizing protests. Though he influences public opinion on behalf of China, none of his non-profits are registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, as required. In 2002, a New Lines investigation uncovered that Singham-linked funds and charities had provided $65 million, via complex conduits, for whitewashing or denying China's persecution of the Uyghurs.
According to the NYT, Singham attended a Chinese media institute meeting in May, and a CCP propaganda forum in July. Chinese media operatives, many with ties to Code Pink and No Cold War (a Singham-backed pro-China influence group) retweeted information supplied by his networks over a hundred times. In 2021, No Cold War attacked activists supporting Hong Kong's democracy movement.
It appears that Chinese propaganda is succeeding, going well beyond state-funded media outlets and Confucius Institutes. How could they lose when wealthy Maoist subversives like Singham and Evans, unnoticed for so long, help them route tens of millions of dollars for pro-China causes? Clearly, we have been asleep to this nefarious threat.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY = MAKE RED CHINA GREATER AND WATCH THE BRIBES DROP INTO THEIR POCKETS!
Poll: Nearly Half of American Adults Support a TikTok Ban
Nearly half of American adults support a ban of the Chinese-owned app TikTok, a social media platform wildly popular among young people, which has shown itself to be a national security threat and a danger to children and teens.
Some 47 percent of respondents to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll said they at least somewhat supported “banning the social media application, TikTok, from use in the United States,” while 36 percent opposed a ban, and 17 percent said they didn’t know.
As far as political alignment, 58 percent of Republicans favored a ban, while 47 percent of Democrats said they supported it, the poll showed.
The survey also revealed that there are grave concerns among Americans over the global influence of China, a hostile foreign country.
The poll was conducted nationwide, surveying 1,005 American adults, including 443 Democrats and 346 Republicans, and had a credibility interval of roughly four percentage points in either direction.
“We’ve taken unprecedented actions to safeguard protected U.S. user data, and we will continue working to build a safe, secure, and inclusive platform to ensure the positive experience of our users in every corner of the country,” a TikTok spokesperson insisted.
Still, TikTok is viewed by many as simply Chinese surveillance and psyops thinly veiled as a social media platform. It has shown itself to be a danger to kids and teens, a national security threat, and having meddled in U.S. elections.
Additionally, TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, has already been caught snooping on U.S. and UK journalists in multiple instances.
As Breitbart News previously reported, ByteDance employees have obtained the private user data of U.S. journalists. The Chinese company was also recently discovered having tracked a UK journalist via her cat’s TikTok account, which didn’t even have her real name on it.
In 2020, then-President Donald Trump sought to ban new downloads of the Chinese app, but a series of court decisions blocked the rule from going into effect.
While the U.S. government mulls over what to do about TikTok when it comes to its citizens, it has been more proactive about protecting itself, barring military and TSA employees from having the Chinese app on their devices.
