    Senate Report Exposes Dealings Between Biden’s Son and Businessmen Connected to Chinese Regime
    BY FRANK FANG
    September 24, 2020

    "Robert Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, made millions of dollars worth of “questionable transactions” with Chinese nationals connected to the Chinese regime and military, according to a new congressional report.

    Hunter Biden began developing associations with Chinese nationals beginning in at least 2009, the year he co-founded the U.S. investment and advisory firm Rosemont Seneca Partners. According to the report, these financial connections “accelerated while his father was vice president and continued after he left office.”

    Joe Biden was vice president during the Obama administration, from 2009 to 2017. He’s currently the Democratic Party candidate for the upcoming presidential election in November.

    The other founders of Rosemont Seneca Partners were Chris Heinz, the stepson of former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, and Devon Archer, one of Hunter Biden’s business partners.

    The report, released on Sept. 23, was authored by two Senate committees: Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and the Department of Finance.

    In response, Joe Biden’s campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said the Senate report was using taxpayer dollars to launch “an attack founded on a long-disproven, hardcore rightwing conspiracy theory.”

    Beijing-Friendly Businessmen
    Two Chinese nationals became prominent in Hunter Biden’s financial network with China: disgraced Chinese oil tycoon Ye Jianming and Asia-based financier Dong Gongwen. According to the report, Dong was Ye’s business associate and executed transactions for Ye’s companies.

    Hunter Biden made millions from his relationship with Ye and received millions from Dong’s companies, the report found.

    “Ye and his associates had robust relationships with China’s military units, some of which were involved in matters in direct opposition to U.S. policy in the region,” the Senate report stated.

    Ye founded CEFC China Energy, an oil conglomerate that made billions of dollars in Russia, eastern Europe, and parts of Africa.

    It became China’s largest privately held oil company before it was caught in Beijing’s crosshairs in 2018. Ye was placed under investigation in February 2018 for “suspected economic crimes” and subsequently detained. His current whereabouts remain unknown. A state-owned enterprise took control of CEFC in March 2018.

    In addition to shady business practices, the oil company hired former military cadres and leveraged such connections to advance itself, according to Chinese media exposés.

    Ye also served as deputy secretary-general of the China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC) from 2003 to 2005.

    The association is a front group for the Chinese military’s former General Political Department (GPD), a political organ within the Central Military Commission—the Chinese Communist Party agency that controls the military, according to a 2018 report published by the U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC). The GPD was replaced by a new agency called the Political Work Department in 2016.

    According to USCC, CAIFC is responsible for collecting intelligence and conducting propaganda and perception management campaigns.

    Transactions With Biden
    The new Senate report identified a transaction of “potential criminal financial activity” in August 2017, when CEFC Infrastructure Investment (US) LLC, a subsidiary of CEFC China Energy, sent a payment of $100,000 to Hunter Biden’s Washington-based law firm Owasco. It is unclear what the money was for.

    Another incident the Senate identified as “potential financial criminal activity” took place in September 2017, when Hunter Biden and Dong opened a line of credit at a bank under a business named Hudson West III LLC.

    The credit was made available to Hunter Biden, James Biden, and James Biden’s wife Sara Biden. James Biden is Joe Biden’s brother.

    “The Bidens subsequently used the credit cards they opened to purchase $101,291.46 worth of extravagant items, including airline tickets and multiple items at Apple Inc. stores, pharmacies, hotels, and restaurants,” the Senate report stated.

    Millions went from CEFC Infrastructure Investment to Hudson West III and then to Owasco. On Aug. 8, 2017, CEFC Infrastructure Investment wired $5 million to Hudson West III’s bank account. From Aug. 8, 2017, to Sept. 25, 2018, Hudson West III sent more than $4.79 million in the name of consulting fees to Owasco.

    Hudson West III was 1 of 8 numbered Hudson West business entities, and the Senate report found that Dong was connected to seven of them. The report didn’t elaborate on the connections, and it’s unclear whether Hunter Biden is connected to the other Hudson West firms.

    Patrick Ho, a Hong Kong-based businessman who served as secretary-general of a CEFC subsidiary, China Energy Fund Committee, was also Hunter Biden’s client at Owasco, according to the Senate report.

    Ho is also implicated in CEFC’s misdeeds. He was charged by U.S. prosecutors of bribing top officials in Chad and Uganda in exchange for business opportunities for CEFC.

    On March 22, 2018, months before Ho was to go on trial, a $1 million payment was sent from Hudson West III to Owasco for Ho’s legal representation, the Senate report found.

    Ho was sentenced to three years in prison in March 2019 on several charges including money laundering and violating the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, according to a Department of Justice press release. He was freed in June this year, with the judge shortening his incarceration time after he demonstrated good behavior.

    The Senate committees said the financial ties between Hunter Biden, his family, and the Chinese nationals “don’t just raise conflicts of interest concerns, they raise criminal financial, counterintelligence, and extortion concerns.”

    The Joe Biden campaign didn’t immediately return a request for comment on the transactions with Chinese individuals.

    Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Sept. 24 sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray asking if the agency will investigate certain findings of the report, including Hunter Biden’s Chinese transactions involving potential criminal activity."

    MAKING SENSE OF THE MADNESS WITH ALEXANDRA BRUCE AND SUSAN BRADFORD
    9/25/20
    https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/mak...usan-bradford/

    "I’ve been quietly doing a segment every Thursday on John Chambers’ Making Sense of the Madness podcast and this is the show we did last night.

    We talked about:

    1) The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the Senate Committee on Finance released a scathing joint report Wednesday called “Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on U.S. Government Policy and Related Concerns”, which concluded that, “Hunter Biden and his family were involved in a vast financial network that connected them to foreign nationals and foreign governments across the globe. Hunter Biden…formed significant and consistent financial relationships with the corrupt oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky…made millions of dollars from that association while Joe Biden was vice president and the public face of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy.”

    Financial records show that some of his transactions are linked to what “appears to be an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring,” and the investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, Rosemont Seneca, “received $3.5 million in a wire transfer” from Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of the Russian capital.

    In one instance, the report stated that Hunter Biden “opened a bank account” with a Chinese national linked to China’s communist government, which “financed a $100,000 global spending spree” for the former vice president’s brother, James Biden, and his wife, Sara Biden.

    So, my question is, where did all of Hunter’s millions go? He was sued by the stripper for child support and he had a tax bill last month exceeding $600,000 that he couldn’t pay but that somebody quietly stepped-up to pay. I think Hunter was a conduit. I don’t think he got to keep all that money.

    For his part, Rand Paul tweeted that the “Explosive Senate investigation on Hunter Biden reveals illegal activity that should be referred to DOJ for possible criminal indictment.”

    2) The Justice Department Unveils Proposed Section 230 Legislation, instructing Congress to write legislation.

    • First, the draft legislation has a series of reforms to promote transparency and open discourse and ensure that platforms are fairer to the public when removing lawful speech from their services, because online platforms have hidden behind the immunity to censor lawful speech in bad faith and is inconsistent with their own terms of service. To remedy this, the department’s legislative proposal replaces vague terms that may be used to shield arbitrary content moderation decisions with more concrete language that gives greater guidance to platforms, users, and courts.

    • Also, the department proposes carving out certain categories of civil claims, including offenses involving child sexual abuse, terrorism, and cyberstalking. These amendments, working together, will be critical first steps in enabling victims to seek redress for the most serious of online crimes.

    Thursday afternoon, the senate panel announced plans to issue subpoenas to CEOs of Google, Facebook, Twitter discuss Section 230 immunity.

    3) Michael Bloomberg is now under criminal investigation by Florida Attorney General, Ashley Moody for buying votes in Florida. Bloomberg has committed to spending $100 million to win Florida for Biden and he raised around $20 million from donors, including LeBron James and John Legend to pay the fines and restitution fees of convicted felons in Florida and register them to vote. The monetary obligations for 32,000 criminals have already been paid. Some feel this violates Federal Election Law, and it is being investigated.

    Then, investigative journalist and author Susan Bradford joins John to discuss the Globalists’ plans to manipulate religion."
