• The Press Openly Hides Facts

    There is plenty of information ‘hidden in plain sight,’ when one understands how to ‘decode’ the media’s path to the ‘truth.’ Taken from newspaper reports over several years, federal records and financial documents show Hunter Biden’s businesses didn’t only benefit from foreign cash, they also got tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer-backed subsidies and loans.

    Rosemont Seneca Partners, founded by Hunter along with business partners Devon Archer and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of former Secretary of State Jon Kerry, oversaw tens of millions of federal security loans in 2009 through the founding of Rosemont TALF, a spinoff firm designed to handle funds from the Federal Reserve’s Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility program. The 2008 program was meant to increase consumer spending during the struggling economy and ended in 2014.

    After Rosemont TALF was founded, a technology initiative on Maui linked to the larger Rosemont firm received millions in public funding before folding shortly thereafter. State documents shows that mbloom, a tech fund for startups on the island of Maui, received $5 million in combined state and federal funding, $2 million from Hawaii’s HI Growth initiative and $3 million from the federal State Small Business Credit Initiative.

    Hunter Biden was listed as the managing director of Rosemont Seneca Technology Partner’s Washington office in early 2014, just as mbloom was getting started, while Archer was managing the company’s New York location.

    The fund was ultimately given a matching $5 million investment by Devon Archer, the state announced in early 2014; that funding came via Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners. Almost immediately, controversy came with mbloom’s first two tech investments going to startups run by the fund’s two managers.

    Then there is Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd., or BHR Partners, of which Hunter remains a director, is a private investment fund backed by some of China’s largest state banks, local government and the national pension fund. At its inception in 2014, BHR listed Rosemont Seneca Thornton LLC, an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, as a shareholder that owned 30% of the fund.

    A year later, the two partners in RST, a consortium of Rosemont Seneca and Thornton Group, split their shares in BHR, with Rosemont Seneca taking 20% and Thornton 10%. Rosemont Seneca unloaded its BHR stakes in 2017, while Thornton kept its shares.

    BHR is known for being an early investor in some of the fastest-growing technology start-ups, including Didi Chuxing, the digital transport group. It has also invested in Megvii, a facial recognition start-up whose technology has been used in Chinese government surveillance of Uighur populations in China’s western provinces.

    Also in 2014, Rosemont Seneca was involved in an attempted $1.5-billion fundraiser for a new fund launched by Harvest Fund Management and Bohai Industrial Group, the Chinese asset manager. The Bank of China International Holdings was one of the biggest stakeholders in Bohai at the time.

    Following Devon Archer’s arrest in 2016 on securities fraud charges, the fund’s managers departed, and it was restructured as Reef Capital Ventures.

    Hunter Biden’s BHR fund also made an investment in 2014 in the China General Nuclear Power Corp., China’s largest nuclear power company. In 2016, the company was charged along with a nuclear engineer named Szuhsiung “Allen” Ho for conspiring to help China illegally obtain “sensitive and controlled” nuclear technology from within the United States. Ho, a naturalized American citizen, plead guilty and was sentenced to two years in prison.

    Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley raised concerns over the process by which the Obama administration’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approved the acquisition of a U.S. automotive technology company, Henniges in August 2019. Henniges was reportedly jointly acquired by Chinese government entities and an investment firm linked to Hunter Biden and Christopher Heinz.

    In a letter to Department of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Grassley requested documents associated with the approval of the transaction, as well as other details that may speak to the legitimacy of the decision-making process, including any potential coordination with the Obama-Biden White House. Grassley was raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest because in September 2015, BHR joined with a subsidiary of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) to acquire Henniges.

    The Department of State, then under Kerry’s leadership, is a CFIUS member and would have played a direct role in the decision to approve the Henniges transaction.

    As for AVIC, it was sanctioned of five separate occasions since 1993 for activities ranging from violating the Arms Export Control Act and proliferating missile technology in Pakistan to multiple violations related to trafficking missile and other military technology to Iran. In 2014, one AVIC subsidiary was added to the Obama-Biden Commerce Department’s ‘Entity List,’ indicating that AVIC was on the short-list for potential sanctions prior to the 2015 CFIUS decision.

    Perhaps they should also look into the fact that more than 60 CIA agents were killed by the Communist Party of China because then-Vice-president Joe Biden gave them the names. This revelation comes following the discovery of the so-called “three Hunter Biden hard drives.”

  • Fact Checking the Fact Checkers

    Public records indicate that Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Pelosi Jr. served as President and COO of the Ukraine oil company, Viscoil and Executive for NRG Lab and Research. At the time Viscoil was under investigation for securities fraud and for allegedly hiding the fact that the company was controlled by felons.

    Viscoil was also one of the companies that was part of the Obama administration’s redistribution of billions of dollars into new energy technology.

    This information hit the Internet in early October 2019, prompting President Trump to poke at Speaker Pelosi in December via Twitter.

    ‘Any answers Nancy? ‘Wow Crazy Nancy, what’s going on? This is big stuff!’ Trump wrote on Twitter two days after initially asking the House speaker to respond to the report.

    Since then, Polifact  among others has stated that the connection was false.

    “The situation is not similar to Hunter Biden’s appointment to the board of a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma. Paul Pelosi Jr. once served on the board of an American energy company, Viscoil. After he left the board, the company dissolved and re-formed in Singapore under a different name. Pelosi Jr. had no part in the new entity, which is not is not based in Ukraine. It’s unclear to what extent the company has done any business in Ukraine,” wrote Polifact.

    So did FactCheck, which in responding to the social media claim that Pelosi, Jr. did not work for a Ukrainian oil company, neither did Mitt Romney nor John Kerry’s children.

    “There’s no evidence for social media claims that the children of Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney and John Kerry are working for “Ukrainian gas companies” or sitting “on the board of directors for energy companies doing business in Ukraine.”” reported FactCheck.

    And then there is Snopes, who dismissed the claim by tearing down and restructuring news reports by publishing:

    “On Oct. 3, 2019, the website National File reported a chronologically imperfect and vaguely formulated scoop that U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s son, Paul Pelosi Jr., “was an executive of a gas industry company that did business in Ukraine.”

    Though the article alleges no specific wrongdoing, an implication of impropriety is suggested by factually stating that the Speaker promoted this company at an event in 2010, perhaps as an act of nepotism, and that Paul Pelosi Jr. went to Ukraine in 2017. The allegation coincides with unsubstantiated claims of corruption leveled against Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son by President Donald Trump. Similar claims have been leveled against prominent Democrat and their family members.

    The National File revelation, such as it is, stems from the descriptions of two videos on YouTube promoting the related companies Viscoil Group LLC and NRGLab. In a video filmed during the 2010 X Prize announcement, Nancy Pelosi introduced her son, who then promoted those two companies via video. The description of the video reads, “Paul Pelosi Jr. is a member of [the] management team of Viscoil Group of Companies and NRGLab. Paul Pelosi Jr. is interested in developing clean energy that can replace gasoline and diesel as transportation fuel sources.”

    The first video established Pelosi Jr.’s connection to a “gas industry company,” while a second promotional video created by NRGLab allegedly established a link between that company and Ukraine. The second video, which consists primarily of platitudes about the importance of renewable energy, states in its description that “[Eurovision singer] Mika Newton and other artists are actively involved in promoting the clean technology of Viscoil Group of Companies and NRGLab. … Newton helped to secure the rights to build a plant for the production of SH-boxes in Ukraine.”

    As such, the entire link to Ukraine rests in the assertion that the company NRGLab built or intended to build a manufacturing plant for something called an “SH-Box” in Ukraine. For several reasons, this is false. An “SH-Box,” according to a 2013 copy of NRGLab’s business plan, is an electrical generator powered by crystal growth that would be capable of “delivering electricity to billions of people throughout the world at a cost so affordable that it was previously unimaginable, as are the potential profits to be realized as the company … accelerates production.”

    As much as these fact-checking organizations wish to destroy the narrative, video and timeline aside, the fact remains Paul Pelosi Jr. did in fact work at one time for a Ukrainian oil company that was under investigation for fraud.

  • Face Plant

    Early this morning, about 2 a.m., my bladder nudged me awake, complaining it was full. So I roll out of bed, letting my feet touch the floor as I remained seated on the edge of the mattress.

    I pet the dog that had been asleep beside me and th…

    My memory goes blank at this point. However the next thing I recall is waking up with my legs folded beneath me, my arms stretched along my sides and my face on the carpet.

    Confused, I looked around the still dark bedroom, not fully grasping the fact that I am on the floor. It would take me another few second to understand that I fainted, or passed out, whichever you want to call it.

    After lifting my head, I feel my arms and fingers begin to prickle. Then my legs start tingling as I work to get them out from beneath my hulk.

    “Jus’ how fucking long I have I been here?” my brain asks as if I have a quantifiable answer.

    “Long enough for your body parts to fall asleep,” I hear myself say.

    Finally as I push myself to my knees, starting the process of get to my feet, I feel the pain of a busted lip. I either bit myself or I banged my face on the floor.

    Either way, I’m bleeding and it hurts like hell. I get up and trudge to the bathroom to finish my business, fortunate that my bladder didn’t let go after I hit the carpet.

    As I stood over the toilet bowl, I found my feelings a tad bruised. Mary didn’t wake up and neither did either of the dogs.

    “Well, how’s that for a fine how-do-you-do?” I grumble as I climbed back between the warm covers.

    Time to see a medical doctor.

  • Three Red Banners

    Jus’ connecting the dots here, so don’t shoot the messenger…

    Three Red Banners’ is a PRC slogan which calls on the Chinese people to build a socialist state which consists of socialist construction, the ‘Great Leap Forward’ and the people’s commune.

    One of the many things I enjoy is the study of semiotics or iconography, or whatever the heck you call it. And I found this to be most interesting as I drove through Reno, Nevada, yesterday afternoon.

    While I’ve seen these signs from time to time around Northern Nevada, I never gave it much thought. But then because of all of the news regarding Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, being involved with the Chinese, I found this not only to be more than interesting, but a startling and subliminal inference.

    That being said, I am not really implying anything, I’m jus’ tossing this out there for you to make your own decision about the true meaning represented in the Biden/Harris signage. In the end — it may mean absolutely nothing and is simply the product of my over-active/over-imaginative mind.

    And as an interesting side note: 2020 ÷ 666 = 3.033033, which according to Biden’s signs is also his campaign text number of 30330.

    Mind blown?

    It had been a direct flight from the mainland of China to the mainland of the U.S. and back again with none of the trained professionals taking the time to sleep. Instead, they now sat around the cramp conference table of the 707, drinking coffee, chain-smoking nervously, all studying and discussing what each in their respective fields had noted during their investigations.

    These were some of the most intelligent, highly-regarded, well-trained and respected people in their disciplines; Nobel prize winners, university professors, hospital department heads, private pathologists and virologists and federal medical professionals. And when finished with the third round-table discussion, they did it some more.

    At first they called it Bat flu, then Wuhan flu, the China flu, and 2019-nCoV before settling on the fanciful sounding, “Novel Coronavirus.” This made this disease sound as if it had been created in a petri dish, which it had, in a fun-filled lab, which it had not, and thus much less scary, which was the final consensus.

    Once deplaned, each embarked back to their separate lives, their separate homes, separate families and friends and their separate work places, carrying in pockets, jackets, briefcases and binders, their face mask labels reading, “Made in China.”

  • A 45-year-old Recollection

    2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden at one time tried to block the evacuation of tens of thousands of South Vietnamese refugees who had helped the U.S. during the Vietnam War. As a senator, Biden was adamant that the U.S. had “no obligation, moral or otherwise, to evacuate foreign nationals,” dismissing concerns for their safety as the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong swept south toward Saigon in 1975.

    As South Vietnam collapsed at the end of the Vietnam War in the spring of 1975, President Gerald Ford and the U.S. government undertook to evacuate thousands of South Vietnamese families who had assisted the U.S. throughout the war. The leading voice in the Senate opposing this rescue effort was then-Senator Joe Biden.

    Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese allies were in danger of recriminations from the Communists, but Biden insisted that “the United States has no obligation to evacuate one — or 100,001 — South Vietnamese.”

    In April 1975, Ford argued that, as the last American troops were removed from the country, the U.S. should evacuate South Vietnamese who had helped the U.S. during the war, too.

    “The United States has had a long tradition of opening its doors to immigrants of all countries … And we’ve always been a humanitarian nation,” Ford said. “We felt that a number of these South Vietnamese had been very loyal to the United States and deserved an opportunity to live in freedom.”

    But Biden objected and called for a meeting between the president and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to voice his objections to Ford’s funding request for these efforts. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who led the meeting, told the senators that “the total list of the people endangered in Vietnam is over a million” and that “the irreducible list is 174,000.”

    Biden said U.S. allies should not be rescued: “We should focus on getting them (the U.S. troops) out. Getting the Vietnamese out and military aid for the GVN (South Vietnam’s government)are totally different.”

    Kissinger said there were “Vietnamese to whom we have an obligation,” but Biden responded: “I will vote for any amount for getting the Americans out. I don’t want it mixed with getting the Vietnamese out.”

    Ford was upset with Biden’s response, believing that failing to evacuate the South Vietnamese would be a betrayal of American values: “We opened our door to the Hungarians … Our tradition is to welcome the oppressed. I don’t think these people should be treated any differently from any other people — the Hungarians, Cubans, Jews from the Soviet Union.”

    The Senate Foreign Relations Committee recommended that the bill be passed by the full Senate by a vote of 14 to 3. Biden was one of just three senators on the committee who voted nay. The conference report also passed the Senate as a whole by a vote of 46-17, where Biden again voted against it.

    Saigon fell on April 30, 1975, and hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese who did not manage to escape the country were eventually sent to reeducation camps, where they were abused, tortured, or killed.

    Despite opposition from Biden, and other leading Democrats, the U.S. military evacuated over 130,000 Vietnamese refugees in the immediate wake of the collapse of South Vietnam, and hundreds of thousands more were resettled inside the U.S. in the following years.
