The Hunter Biden Criminal Probe Bolsters a Chinese Scholar's Claim About Beijing's Influence With the Biden Administration
substack.com ^ | 12/09/2020 | Glenn Greenwald

Posted on 12/10/2020 2:23:28 PM PST by RightGeek

Hunter Biden acknowledged today that he has been notified of an active criminal investigation into his tax affairs by the U.S. Attorney for Delaware. Among the numerous prongs of the inquiry, CNN reports, investigators are examining “whether Hunter Biden and his associates violated tax and money laundering laws in business dealings in foreign countries, principally China.”

Documents relating to Hunter Biden’s exploitation of his father’s name to enrich himself and other relatives through deals with China were among the cache published in the week before the election by The New York Post — revelations censored by Twitter and Facebook and steadfastly ignored by most mainstream news outlets. That concerted repression effort by media outlets and Silicon Valley left it to right-wing outlet such as Fox News and The Daily Caller to report, which in turn meant that millions of Americans were kept in the dark before voting.

But the just-revealed federal criminal investigation in Delaware is focused on exactly the questions which corporate media outlets refused to examine for fear that doing so would help Trump: namely, whether Hunter Biden engaged in illicit behavior in China and what impact that might have on his father’s presidency.

The allegations at the heart of this investigation compel an examination of a fascinating and at-times disturbing speech at a major financial event held last week in Shanghai. In that speech, a Chinese scholar of political science and international finance, Di Donghseng, insisted that Beijing will have far more influence in Washington under a Biden administration than it did with the Trump administration.

The reason Di said is that China’s ability to get its way in Washington depended upon its powerful Wall Street allies. But those allies, he said, had difficulty controlling Trump, but will exert unfettered power over Biden

Apparently, twitter, youtube and facebook forgot to tell the US Attorney that this whole story was debunked. What an oversight!

They have been pre-occupied with getting rid of their primary enemy: President Trump.

Notice how the media is spinning this as a “tax” related problem.

What a crock.

But as Di shifted to his discussion of the new incoming administration, his tone palpably changed, becoming far more animated, excited and optimistic. That’s because a Biden presidency means a restoration of the old order, where Wall Street exerts great influence with the White House and can thus do China’s bidding: “But now we're seeing Biden was elected, the traditional elite, the political elite, the establishment, they're very close to Wall Street, so you see that, right?”

Biden is Wall Street's bitch and Wall Street is the CCP's bitch.

9 Oct: Yahoo: Fox News: Kamala Harris cheers Wall Street support as big-money donors line up for Biden
by Vandana Rambaran
America’s biggest financial institutions are backing Democratic nominee Joe Biden, banking on a “blue wave” to boost the economy, a message that Biden’s running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, touted during Wednesday night’s debate.
“Joe Biden’s economic plan, Moody’s — which is a reputable Wall Street firm — has said will create 7 million more jobs than Donald Trump’s,” Harris said as she faced off against incumbent Mike Pence.

Despite Biden’s promises to raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy and regulate banks more tightly, he has raked in five times as much as Trump in donations from the securities and investment industry, with an eye-popping sum of $51.1 million. The incumbent has garnered just $10.5 million, according to OpenSecrets...

During his failed run for the White House, Sanders said he didn’t want to be beholden to banks or mega-donors.

updated 12 Aug: CNBC: Wall Street executives are glad Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris to be his VP running mate
by Brian Schwartz
Finance executives, confident the ticket has what it takes to topple President Donald Trump, raved about her experience in government, as well as her fundraising prowess...
“I think it’s great,” said Marc Lasry, the CEO of investment firm Avenue Capital Group. “She’s going to help Joe immensely. He picked the perfect partner.” Lasry is also a part owner of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks.
Blair Effron, the co-founder of Centerview Partners, texted “GREAT CHOICE” to CNBC. Citigroup’s Ray McGuire sent a similar message...

Harris, who dropped out of the race in December, opened up a joint fundraising committee with the Democratic National Committee earlier this year, allowing her to raise six figure checks that mainly went to the party as a whole...

Jon Henes, a partner at corporate restructuring firm Kirkland & Ellis who was Harris’ national finance chairman when she ran for president, told CNBC that the choice shows Biden’s strong judgment. He added that her supporters are ready to give Democrats the backing they need to defeat Trump...

Mike Kempner, the founder of public relations juggernaut, MWWPR, lauded Harris’ fundraising track record.
“She has a strong and active fundraising organization. She will be an important and immediate addition to the Biden fundraising effort. She is a fundraising star,” Kempner said. “Her experience as a prosecutor makes her uniquely qualified to deliver the case against Trump.”...

Good point and the answer is yes.

Educated millennials and whannabe hip oldsters have again been played.

They think they support the common man vs Big Business - Wrong
Wall St loves Biden and anyone else foolish enough to be bought.

They think they’re helping the environment - Wrong. They only enrich insiders and offshore despicable enviro behavior in lessor countries

They think they’re about racial justice and fairness to minorities - Wrong.
Social injustice is a tool of Dems and Big Tech that nets insider deals and slave labor in corrupt or totalitarian countries.

Ah, the wonders of Globalism.
Ah the wonders of propaganda
