BLA + 1,666 BB February 2, 2020 (edited) "COME ON MAN" A Biden Presidency would be compromised from the start. Joe, the working class Irish Catholic boy from Scranton PA. sold his soul to the devil (China). Reads like a Faustian Tale. CHINA OWNS THE BIDENS https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-says-china-is-not-competition-for-us-prompting-pushback-from-republicans/2019/05/01/4ae4e738-6c68-11e9-a66d-a82d3f3d96d5_story.html Washington Post (liberal newspaper) May 2019 "Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday dismissed the notion that the United States should be worried about China as a geopolitical competitor . . . . . . . . The argument is one Biden has frequently made in speeches throughout the years, but it is drawing increased attention due to his status as the apparent front-runner among Democrats running for president." Is this an argument Biden has made "throughout the years" since China Government invested $1.5 Billion in Hunter's fund in December 2013 ? Hmmm ? (Originally $1 Billion was increased to $1.5 Billion) My conservative estimate is Hunter's fund has conservatively generated around $288 million in fees from the Chinese $1.5 Billion investment since December 2013. SEE CALCULATION BELOW. Joe Biden's son Hunter (1) receiving $1.5 Billion investment in his hedge fund Rosemount Seneca from the Chinese Government Bank of China (2) his seat on the board of a Chinese investment firm and (3) investment in many Chinese companies including a face recognition surveillance software company would compromise Joe's presidency. Nobody, except the Biden and Chinese officials know what really went down. The Chinese own the Bidens. If Biden elected president say goodbye to any hope for fair trade policy with China. China will control the world economy. Chinese hegemony will rule. Trump China gains will be lost. No Phase II will be completed and Phase I would not be enforced or complied with. "Chinese BELT and ROAD and BIDENS = Chinese Hegemony" Hunter Biden receiving China Government run BANK OF CHINA $1.5 BILLION investment is a clear violation of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) . (SEC Filings showed Biden, Heinz, Archer, Bulger ROSEMOUNT FUND HAD $2.4 BILLION AT ONE POINT) FROM NEWSWEEK (a liberal News Magazine) " Hunter Biden "scandal" is hiding in plain sight: it's an obvious case of what in China is known as "princeling" style corruption: hire the children of powerful government officials—"princelings"—and hope good things flow your way. It is against the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) for U.S. companies to do this in China or any other foreign country, as JP Morgan, among others, knows all too well. The bank in 2016 had to pay a fine of $264 million to settle FCPA charges with the SEC. JPMorgan, the SEC said, "engaged in a systematic bribery scheme by hiring children of government officials who were typically unqualified for the positions." CHINA WOULD OWN JOE BIDEN'S PRESIDENCY. THEN THERE IS UKRAINE BURISMA ______________________________ Hunter's attorneys said publicly he hasn't made any money on Chinese $1.5 Billion investment in his fund. That's because he has not withdrawn it from hedge/private equity fund yet. HERE'S HOW HEDGE /PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS WORK: Typical funds charge (1) a yearly management fee of 2% (2) plus 20% of the gains each year. The key is the fund fees are paid by transferring investor shares (in this case the Chinese Government Bank of China) of the investment to the fund (Rosemount) SO NO INCOME TAXES PAID AND ONLY PAYS MUCH LOWER CAPITAL GAINS TAX UPON WITHRAWAL. So each year Hunter's Chinese $1.5 Billion makes : 1. Mgmt Fee 2% X $1.5 Billion = $30 Million year 2. Fee on Gains 20% (assume ultra conservative 6% yearly gain). $1.5 Billion X 6% gain X 20% fee = $18 Million year. Total $48 Million year . Not bad for Hunter, a ne'er-do-well, dishonorable discharged military, coke head, stripper baby daddy lover. That's estimated $48 million a year since December 2013. So $48 million X 6 years = $ 288 Million TOTAL so far. (and not a penny of income tax paid on it) The Chinese $288,000,000 in fees paid to Hunter's fund dwarfs the $83,000 a month Barisma paid Hunter to be on their board . And Hunter pays no income tax on it How much of that goes to each of Hunter Biden, Archer and Heinze is unknown. Take a look at who are partners in Rosemount Seneca LLC and the parent Rosemount Capital. (follow the money) I believe my estimate is conservative. For the naysayers cut in half. It still is huge and corrupt. A Joe Biden Presidency would create a SERIOUS NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT AND ECONOMIC THREAT FROM CHINA. VIOLATES : FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT (FCPA) Voters beware. A Biden Presidency will cost U.S. economy $Trillions lost to China and jeopardize U.S. National Security, while son Hunter lives a comfy life in his $3.5 million Hollywood Hills home with his wife. IMPORTANT: THE TRIO OF BIDEN, HEINZ AND ARCHER DID NUMEROUS DEALS WITH FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AT THE VERY SAME TIME THEIR FATHERS VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN AND SECRETARY OF STATE KERRY WERE NEGOTIATING DEALS WITH THE SAME NATIONS NOTE: Chris Heinz ended his partnership with Hunter at the end of 2015 after Ukraine prosecuters started investigating Barisma and Board members Hunter Video and Devon Archer. Short time later faux whistleblower Eric Ciaramella held a Whitehouse meeting Jan 20, 2016 between U.S. NSC, State Dept with Ukraine diplomats and government prosecutors to implement damage control. Cover-up ? Illegal ? However, Chris Heinz did greatly benefit from the (1) $130,000,000 guaranteed Federal TALF loan to the newly formed partnership and (2) The $1,500,000,000. ($1.5 Billion) Chinese National Bank in 2013. Edited February 16, 2020 by BLA 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol, nice try, Ivanka doesn't need China. In fact her dad has imposed the toughest rules around trade than any other President in history. On the other hand, Cokehead Hunter needs all the help he can get especially now he had to pay child support to a DC Stripper. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember Hunter is just a drug addict, with very tough childhood, growing up without mother with his father a busy politician. Good Dad just found him this Ukrainian post and later other places, so that he has money for his highs and do not end sleeping under the bridge. Nobody would treat Hunter for real, or as a leverage over Joe. We can say that Ivanka could be steered by Chinese cause she has a real business there, or Jared by his Middle East real estate saviours. The whole Biden family has been milking the system since Biden started his political career. Peter Schweizer has totally proven this in his new, best selling book. Biden is as bad as Hillary in that respect. If you look at all of Biden's statements from the past you will see that they have changed to follow the winds of what he perceives as public opinion. I hope someone drags up all the old film clips of what he has said and puts them against recent ones. Biden has mental problems also. He has a lot of anger flare ups and thinks he is some kind of tough guy. He has apparently had some mini strokes judging by his mental errors which are quite frequent. Mini strokes tend to increase over time. Voting for him is like voting for a time bomb. Bernie, the socialist, recently had a heart attack. I think Klobuchar is the best hope for the Dems. They have wisely looked for veterans and women to join their crusade. They, during the impeachment, have done all they can to seem patriotic. You can fool some of the people some of the time. .

If I wake up on November 9 to find that Trump has been elected president, I plan to spend the next two months building such a network. The first two people I will talk to will be Boutrous and Tribe, both of whom agreed in an email exchange yesterday to a have a conference call November 9, if necessary, to begin organizing this coalition. The goal will not be to challenge everything a Trump administration does, some of which will be lawful, after all, and some of which may be debatably lawful among reasonable people. The goal, rather, will be to offer a systematic defense of the values the Coalition of All Democratic Forces holds in common and to have the ability to respond rapidly to actions that threaten those values: to forestall such actions in court as long as possible, to whittle them down, and to block those that can be blocked. The goal is to use the courts to render Trump’s antidemocratic instincts as ineffectual as possible. ... 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will never know, but I know lots of Dems, and none were fans of Biden and several viewed him as a mess even before Ukraine.

Farce is a bit much, as he was impeached. Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are often warning signs that a person is at risk for a more serious and debilitating stroke. About one-third of those who have a TIA will have an acute stroke sometime in the future. Many strokes can be prevented by heeding the warning signs of TIAs and treating the underlying risk factors. The most important treatable factors linked to TIAs and strokes are high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, heart disease, carotid artery disease, diabetes, and heavy use of alcohol. Medical help is available to reduce and eliminate these factors. Lifestyle changes, such as eating a balanced diet, maintaining healthy weight, exercising, and enrolling in smoking and alcohol cessation programs can also reduce these factors.This answer is based on source information from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. I have been watching Biden very closely and he seems to have dementia of some kind. He is often unable to state simple facts or ideas clearly (like where he is) and ends up with a "world salad" stupid reply. He uses anger as a cover up when he cannot deal with stress and tries to act like a tough guy. I worked 20 years as a charge RN on a psych unit and have an MA in counseling. It is still just an opinion though. Best wishes with your dad. I am on an anticoagulant due to a heart arrhythmia. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bloomberg's problem is that he was dead in the water before he ever got started due to real or perceived racist POLICIES and on-camera statements that were vastly and completely documented in the past. They tried to pull these cards with Trump, and in fact still try to say it's true, but there aren't any indisputable facts to support them. I'm not judging Trump one way or the other on this, but it is true they haven't made anything stick that had any real impact. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Kirkman + 8,860 February 14, 2020 From Oct 2019. What the heck does Hunter know about LNG? https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/analysis-hunter-biden-tied-to-china-firm-with-questionable-dealings ANALYSIS: Hunter Biden tied to China firm with questionable dealings A high-ranking Chinese businessman was charged by the Justice Department with global corruption and bribery in 2017, and the first call he made after his arrest was to Vice President Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, who thinks the call was meant for Joe’s son, Hunter. Patrick Ho, the lieutenant to the founder of the multibillion-dollar Chinese conglomerate CEFC China Energy, was indicted under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the Southern District of New York for his role in a global money laundering and bribery scheme aimed at government officials in Africa. The Justice Department also accused Ho of helping with Iranian sanctions evasion and working to use the Chinese company’s connections to sell weaponry to Chad, Libya, and Qatar. Ho immediately tried reaching out to the younger Biden for help because that summer, as investigators circled, Hunter agreed to represent Ho as part of Hunter’s efforts to work out a liquefied natural gas deal worth tens of millions of dollars with CEFC China Energy’s leader Ye Jianming. The vice president’s financier brother said he was surprised by the call from Ho but told the Chinese businessman how to get in touch with his nephew. “There is nothing else I have to say,” James Biden told the New York Times in 2018. “I don’t want to be dragged into this anymore.” The lucrative deal Hunter Biden set up with CEFC China Energy fell apart when Ye disappeared after being detained by Chinese authorities in 2018, and Ho was sentenced to three years in federal prison in March. Although much of the scrutiny of Hunter Biden’s global business dealings focuses on his controversial $50,000-per-month position with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings at the same time then-Vice President Joe Biden pressured the Ukrainian government to fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, his dealings with Chinese businessmen could cause the 2020 Democratic front-runner serious headaches, too. Kathleen Biden, the younger Biden’s now-ex-wife, accused him in divorce filings of “spending extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations), while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills.” The filing also discusses a "large" diamond, worth $80,000, he claimed he no longer had. In a later interview, Hunter said the diamond — which he claimed was only worth $10,000 — was a gift from Ye. Ye, who had ties to the Chinese Communist Party and told Caixin Global that his company “aims to serve the [Chinese] state’s strategy,” was on a mission to make inroads among powerful Democrats and Republicans, setting his sights on the former vice president's son, who served on the board of World Food Program USA, a nonprofit organization that raises money for the United Nations World Food Programme. Biden said he hoped Ye would make a major donation to the fund but also offered to help Ye find investment opportunities inside the United States. Hunter Biden says he met Ye for the first time in Miami and that two of Biden’s associates surprised him when they gave Ye Scotch valued at thousands of dollars. Ye sent a thank-you card and a 2.8-carat diamond to Hunter’s hotel room. Hunter says he handed the diamond off to his associates and doesn’t know what happened with it but denies it was meant as a bribe. “What would they be bribing me for? My dad wasn’t in office,” Hunter Biden told the New Yorker. “I knew it wasn’t a good idea to take it. I just felt like it was weird.” Hunter negotiated a $40 million investment deal with Ye related to a liquefied natural gas project on Monkey Island in Louisiana. At the same time, Ye told Hunter that one of his business associates, Ho, was being investigated in the U.S., and Hunter agreed to represent him. The deal between Hunter and Ye crashed almost immediately when Ho was arrested by U.S. law enforcement at John F. Kennedy Airport in 2017. A few months later, the deal was officially dead when Ye was detained by Chinese authorities, reportedly at the orders of Chinese President Xi Jinping. “Patrick Ho schemed to bribe the leaders of Chad and Uganda in order to secure unfair business advantages for the Chinese energy company he served,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said in March. “His actions were brazen, including offering the president of Chad $2 million in cash, hidden in gift boxes. Foreign corruption undermines the fairness of international markets, erodes the public’s faith in its leaders, and is deeply unfair to the people and businesses that play by the rules.” Biden said to the New Yorker this summer he didn't think Ye was "a shady character at all" and attributed the situation to "bad luck." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
