Hunter’s Biz Partner Busted With 1,850 Boxes Of Classified Docs

 

Amid the revelations of boxes of classified documents found to be in President Biden’s possession from days when he was a vice president and a senator is a new group of documents that are at the University of Delaware. And, the transfer of the boxes of documents, which began in 2010 and had dubious aspects, did not happen until 2012. Now as the strange aspect are coming to light, some are calling for transparency as to the documents, what they contain, and the specifics of the timeline during the transfer of the boxes.

 

As Biz Pac Review reports:

 

The story begins in 2010, when a business associate of Biden’s crack-smoking son, Hunter, was inexplicably assigned the task of transferring the documents from Biden’s VP office to the University of Delaware. The moving of the documents was reportedly performed by Eric Schwerin, who was Hunter’s Rosemont Seneca business partner. The 1,850 boxes of documents were moved to the University of Delaware after Biden decided to donate them. While most of the documents were reportedly from his tenure as a Delaware senator, some of the documents were also from the 2009 Obama-Biden presidential transition, as exclusively reported on Thursday by the Daily Mail.

 

Prior to the documents being moved, the then-VP’s deputy counsel, Katherine Oyama, reportedly wrote an email to Schwerin warning him that the documents contained 2009 Obama-Biden presidential transition papers that “the vice president likely does not own.” “She recommended the inclusion of language about ‘the University’s duty to comply with … classified information procedures,’” according to the Daily Mail. Schwerin subsequently forwarded Oyama’s email to Hunter and wrote, “FYI – if you want to be in the loop. I sent to Mel who is going to talk to your Dad about this and decide who should work on it between him and Jamie.” Mel was reportedly a reference to attorney Melvyn Monzack, who “handled Hunter and Joe’s brother Jim’s taxes and other Biden family affairs,” according to the Daily Mail.

 

But the documents didn’t arrive at the University of Delaware until June 6th, 2012.

 

“The University of Delaware’s Morris Library last week welcomed a delivery of 1,875 boxes full of Vice President Joe Biden’s senatorial papers, the largest collection that the library’s special collections department has ever received,” the Newark Post reported at the time. “Crews moved the 33 pallets of boxes from two trucks into the library’s basement, where the papers were secured on mechanical compact shelving, built especially to accommodate the large collection,” the Post added.

 

The library posted about the receipt of the documents:

Russia: Ukraine plans to blow up buildings in eastern city of Kramatorsk, accuse Moscow of war crimes

 

Russia has warned that Ukraine is planning to carry out a false-flag operation in which it will blow up buildings in the eastern city of Kramatorsk, before blaming it on Moscow.

 

Russia’s Defense Ministry sounded the alarm on Sunday, saying the mock operation is designed to target three medical buildings, namely two dispensaries and one hospital, in Kramatorsk.

 

Kiev would then “accuse Russia of an allegedly ‘deliberate attack’ on civilian objects” and committing war crimes, the ministry said.

 

“The bombing of the medical institutions will be presented as another ‘atrocity’ of Russian troops, requiring a response from the world community and accelerating the supply of long-range missiles to Kiev [to be used] for strikes on Russian territory,” the defense ministry added.

 

Russia has been carrying out what it calls a special military operation against its neighbor since last February. Moscow says the operation aims to stop Kiev’s persecution of pro-Russian population in eastern Ukraine and to “de-Nazify” the ex-Soviet republic.

 

Moscow has frequently denied targeting civilians throughout its operation in Ukraine.

 

Kiev has, ever since the onset of the conflict, been pressing its Western allies for a constant and increasingly-improving flow of state-of-the-art weapons.

 

The allies, including the United States, have, in response, almost doubled the range of the missiles that they have been supplying to Ukraine. They also recently agreed to start providing Kiev with battle tanks.

 

Moscow says further armament of Kiev would only work to prolong the already drawn-out conflict and add to the suffering of Ukrainian people.

 

A senior Russian official warned in an interview published on Saturday that provision of more American weaponry to Ukraine, would just add fuel to the fire culminating in more retaliatory strikes from Russian forces.

 

“More aid to Ukraine would mean more retaliation,” said Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, adding, “The result will be just the opposite.”

 

Russia has not ruled out negotiation as means of ending the conflict, but has asserted that any talks would have to take into account its security concerns, including the likelihood of Ukraine’s inclusion into the US-led military alliance of NATO.

Pfizer’s Business Model is Actual Fascism. “The Merger of Corporate Power and State Power”

 

The corporate media and their Antifa footsoldiers bandy about the term “fascism” quite freely. Somehow, through magnificent logic-pretzel contortions, they claim that resistance to government mandates to inject yourself with experimental drugs is not resistance to fascism, but fascism itself.

 

Truly, they have a wondrous capacity to invert reality.

 

But, for all the revisionism, fascism as a governing ideology actually means something very specific.

 

Progenitor of the ideology, Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, infamously defined fascism – or, alternatively, corporatism — as the “merger of corporate and state power.”

 

Let’s examine true 21st-century techno-fascism, and how it works in the real world:

 

The total 2022 US government budget was $6.272 trillion (25.1% of GDP).

 

A full quarter of the nation’s economic activity is allocated to projects carried out theoretically in the public interest, funded by the public treasury.

 

As one might expect from the massive bureaucratic infrastructure necessary to administer this activity, these vast resources are frequently abused. On an opaque journey through a series of unseen hands, the funds are redirected into private purses with limited or no benefit to the actual public. Private interests suckling at the teat of power are the biggest beneficiaries.

 

The most obvious example of the fascist grift in the modern era is the mRNA COVID “vaccines.”

Facebook Protects Nazis to Protect Ukraine Proxy War

 

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced on January 19 that the company no longer considers Ukraine’s Azov Regiment to be a “dangerous organization.” The far-right paramilitary group grew out of the street gangs that helped topple Ukraine’s president in the US-backed 2014 coup. Originally funded by the same Ukrainian oligarch that backed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s rise to power, Azov was on the front lines of civil war in Eastern Ukraine, and was later fully integrated into the Ukrainian national guard.

 

The main outlet to report on this move was the Kyiv Independent (1/19/23), a Ukrainian newsroom closely linked to Western “democracy promotion” initiatives. These ties are reflected in its coverage of Facebook’s move. Take the description of the Azov Regiment:

 

The group has sparked controversy over its alleged association with far-right groups—a recurring theme used by Russian propaganda.

 

The “association” with “far-right groups” has been far more than “alleged,” and is well documented and openly acknowledged by members of the organization. Even the use of “far-right” downplays the fact that they have regularly been seen sporting Nazi symbols and even making Nazi salutes. NATO was forced to apologize after tweeting a photo of the regiment, circulated as part of public relations for the war, in which a soldier was wearing a symbol from the Third Reich (Newsweek, 3/9/22).

Billionaire-Backed Green Group Working To Ban Gas Stoves Counts Chinese Official as Top Adviser

 

Senior legislator Wang Yi has urged China to maintain 'active, one-step-ahead position' over US on climate change

 

A deep-pocketed green energy group working to ban gas stoves in the United States counts as a top adviser a Chinese government official who has urged his nation to compete with America on climate change.

 

Climate Imperative, a green nonprofit with a nearly $1 billion budget thanks to funding from billionaires Laurene Powell Jobs and John Doerr, lists Chinese Academy of Sciences professor Wang Yi as a member of its advisory council. The group does not disclose, however, that Wang also serves in China's legislature, the National People's Congress. Wang even sits on the Congress's Standing Committee, according to a Chinese environmental research group to which he belongs. That committee consists of government insiders who wield state power to accomplish Communist Party goals when the full Congress is not in session.

 

With Wang as an adviser, Climate Imperative has awarded grants to the Building Decarbonization Coalition, another green nonprofit that works to "transition to clean buildings that don't run on gas." Climate Imperative executive director Bruce Nilles, meanwhile, in December outlined his goal to get "methane gas out of homes and buildings." "It turns out that fossil fuels and humans don't actually coexist very well," Nilles said.

 

It's unclear how much Wang has influenced Climate Imperative in the group's bid to do away with natural gas. Climate Imperative, which did not return a request for comment, says its advisers provide "independent, expert advice" to the group and do not "endorse or approve specific grants." Still, Climate Imperative is far from the only influential green group to partner with the Chinese. The Rocky Mountain Institute, a Colorado-based nonprofit that published a controversial December study attributing 13 percent of U.S. childhood asthma cases to gas-stove use, for years worked with China's National Development and Reform Commission to implement an "economy-wide transformation" away from oil and gas, the Washington Free Beacon reported in January.

 

In addition to his role as a Climate Imperative adviser, Wang advises the Chinese government on climate change through the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED), a CCP-approved group that provides "policy recommendations to the Chinese government on environment and development." As a CCICED council member, Wang in a September 2020 policy report called climate change the "highlight of Sino-U.S. relations" and argued that if U.S. "efforts to combat climate change prevail," China will lose its "active, one-step-ahead position in global climate governance." As a result, Wang and his coauthors wrote, China should pursue "strategic competition" with the United States on climate change and "engage in dialogue and exchange with relevant U.S. entities."

 

Wang appears to be affiliated with the China Association for Promoting Democracy, a minor political party under the direction of the Communist Party that represents academics and holds seven seats on the National People's Congress Standing Committee. One expert of China's political system stressed that despite its name, the China Association for Promoting Democracy is not free from the CCP's grips.

 

"They are subservient to the CCP," the expert, who spoke on background to discuss the issue candidly, told the Free Beacon. "The idea is that they create these spin-off groups that are designed to appear to be independent in some kind of way from the CCP, when they're actually controlled and directed by the CCP."

Government Reports & Pfizer Documents prove COVID Vaccination is causing Depopulation & we now have evidence it was the plan all along

 

If we told you 20 million people had died across just the ‘FIve Eyes’ & 26 countries across Europe over the past two years resulting in the most excess deaths seen in half a decade wouldn’t you at least be a little bit curious to find out why?

 

You might be quick to blame Covid-19, but we can assure you this is not the case.

 

What if we then told you more excess deaths were actually recorded across the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand in 2021 & 2022 following several mass rollouts of the Covid-19 injections than were recorded at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020?

 

Would that not pique your interest to find out why?

 

Because we’re not just talking about a slight increase. We’re talking about increases of thousands of per cent in excess deaths.

 

For instance. official Government reports prove that Australia suffered a shocking 1,640% increase in excess deaths in just 39 weeks throughout 2022 compared to 53 weeks throughout 2020.

 

While New Zealand suffered a shocking 3,404% increase in excess deaths in 49 weeks throughout 2022 compared to 53 weeks throughout 2020.

 

Are you still not interested?

 

Well, what if we told you there now exists a mountain of evidence to prove that Covid-19 injections are to blame for this huge increase in deaths?

 

Surely now you’d want to know why?

 

What if we then revealed that sadly, that mountain of evidence also contains documents that prove Covid-19 vaccination is going to lead to mass depopulation?

 

This is of course an extremely bold claim to make.

 

‘Your Government is trying to kill you’ is even bolder.

 

But it’s the truth.

 

And surely you are now more than curious to find out why?

Beijing confirms Chinese balloon 'accidentally entered Latin American and Caribbean airspace'

 

Beijing's foreign ministry has confirmed that a balloon flying over Latin America is Chinese, after a similar device was shot down by the United States over the weekend.

Key points:

 

Beijing's foreign ministry said the balloon "accidentally entered Latin American and Caribbean airspace"

A similar device was shot down by the United States over the weekend

China insists both were unmanned weather surveillance aircraft that had veered off course

 

The Pentagon said on Friday that a second suspected Chinese spy balloon had been seen across Latin America.

 

Colombia's air force then reported an object with "characteristics similar to those of a balloon" had been detected and "monitored until it left the national air space".

 

The air force said it was conducting investigations in coordination with other countries and institutions "to establish the origins of the object".

 

Beijing's foreign ministry on Monday said the object was "from China" and that it was of "a civilian nature and used for flight tests".

 

"Affected by weather forces in addition to its manoeuvrability being limited, the airship deviated greatly from its expected course, and accidentally entered Latin American and Caribbean airspace," spokesperson Mao Ning told a press briefing.

 

"China is a responsible country and has always strictly abided by international law," she added.

 

"We have communicated with the relevant parties and are handling appropriately, and will not cause any threat to any country."

 

The detection of the other balloon over the United States prompted the cancellation of a planned China visit by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who had been due to arrive in Beijing on Sunday.

 

China voiced anger on Sunday at the shooting down of the balloon, which it insists was an unmanned weather surveillance aircraft that had veered off course.

Shock to American psyche

 

Accidental or not, these balloons certainly have had an impact on the American psyche, according to Gordon Flake, CEO of the Perth USAsia Centre.

 

Speaking on Monday night's edition of The Drum, Mr Flake said: "Unlike most countries, America has for 200 years had a very strong sense of territorial integrity.

 

"Other than a Japanese submarine off the coast of California in World War II, and potentially the Cuban missile crisis, the American mainland has never been under threat, so this was a real shock to the American psyche.

 

"It's akin to that of Sputnik. The fact that there was a balloon that you could see from your house or office window and know it was Chinese. Yeah, it is quite a shock.

 

"And the result is there are those on one extreme who are trying to use this politically as an attack on the United States, and others who see it rather benignly as the old grandpa from Up, floating about in this old century technology. But the truth is predictably somewhere in the middle," he said.

LATEST: Powerful Earthquake Kills at Least 2,900 in Turkey and Syria

 

A massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey and neighboring Syria on Monday, resulting in over 2,900 fatalities and thousands of injuries. The quake caused thousands of buildings to collapse and left many residents trapped under the rubble. The death toll is expected to rise as rescuers search for survivors in an area that is already grappling with the 12-year civil war in Syria and a refugee crisis.

 

The early morning quake woke up residents and forced them to evacuate in the rain and snow to avoid falling debris. Throughout the day, strong aftershocks continued to shake the region, including one that was nearly as strong as the initial earthquake. By nightfall, workers were still extracting bodies and searching for survivors, causing families to wait in desperation for news of their loved ones.

Dell Cuts 6,650 Jobs Due To "Challenging Global Economic Environment"

 

Dell Technologies Inc. is the latest technology company to announce job cuts. A filing released Monday morning blamed the layoffs on a "challenging global economic environment" amid a bust in the personal computer market.

 

Dell said 6,650 jobs, or about 5% of its global workforce, will be eliminated. The company produces personal computers, servers, data storage devices, network switches, and a slew of other electronic devices that were in high demand during Covid but have slumped in the years after.

 

"These actions will result in a reduction of approximately 5% of the Company's workforce as the Company continues to take prudent steps in light of a challenging global economic environment," the company wrote in a filing.

 

Bloomberg viewed an internal memo by Co-Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke that said market conditions "continue to erode with an uncertain future."

 

Dell has 133,000 employees worldwide, and about a third are based in the US. The layoff comes as tech companies are hemorrhaging talent. However, the US economy added 517,000 jobs in January, and the unemployment rate dropped to 3.4%.

 

Dell shares were up 1.5% in premarket trading. Shares have fallen 30% since peaking in early 2022.

Türkiye summons envoys of 9 countries to express dismay over closure

 

The Foreign Ministry summoned the envoys of nine countries, including ones that have closed their diplomatic missions in Türkiye, diplomatic sources said Thursday.

 

Sources noted that the ambassadors and representatives of the U.S., the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Britain, Germany, Belgium, France and Italy were summoned to the ministry in Ankara to convey Türkiye's reaction.

 

The ministry reminded the diplomats that Türkiye ensures the security of all diplomatic missions in th ecountry in line with international agreements and that such simultaneous acts are not proportional and prudent approaches, and only serve the insidious agendas of terrorist groups.

 

The diplomats were told that Ankara expects allied and friendly nations to cooperate with Turkish security forces regarding the matter.

 

On Thursday, five consulates, including the German, French, Dutch, Belgian and the United Kingdom were closed citing alleged security threats.

 

Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu slammed the move, saying that it amounted to "psychological warfare" at a time of growing tourism revenues.

 

Turkish media outlets also reported that Pierre Loti French High School in Istanbul would be closed on Thursday and Friday, reporting a message to students' parents citing "reasons related to security." The Belgian Consulate will also remain closed on Friday while it is unclear whether the British Consulate will reopen on Friday.

 

Soylu dismissed their claim of "security threats," citing Türkiye's successful counterterrorism operations. He said between the start of January and Thursday alone, Türkiye carried out as many as 60 operations against Daesh and detained 95 people. Last year, close to 2,000 Daesh suspects were detained in more than 1,000 operations against the group, he highlighted. Earlier this week, the Interior Ministry said Turkish authorities had detained a number of suspects following a warning from a “friendly country,” but hadn't found any weapons, ammunition, or sign of a planned act of violence.

Google announces creation of ChatGPT competitor Bard

 

"We've been working on an experimental conversational AI service, powered by LaMDA, that we're calling Bard," Google CEO Sundar Pichai said.

 

As ChatGPT continues to take the world by storm, Google has announced that it is in the process of rolling out a competitor, Bard.

 

The tech giant has promised that Bard will draw upon all the information available to it to "provide fresh, high-quality responses" to any question users can think of.

 

"We've been working on an experimental conversational AI service, powered by LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications), that we're calling Bard," Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a Monday blog post. "Today, we're taking another step forward by opening it up to trusted testers ahead of making it more widely available to the public in the coming weeks."

 

"Bard," Pichai continued, "seeks to combine the breadth of the world's knowledge with the power, intelligence and creativity of our large language models. It draws on information from the web to provide fresh, high-quality responses."

 

Pichai went on to explain that the initial release of Bard would utilize Google's lightweight model version of MaMDA, which "requires significantly less computing power," and will thus be easier to scale to a larger user base.

 

The trial stage will allow Google to collect valuable data both internally and from users "to make sure Bard's responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information."

 

When ChatGPT first gained prominence, there was speculation that it could someday replace Google search as the main faucet of information on the internet. A number of bugs have since been discovered, including a potential political bias.

 

Its ability to write poems, papers, and even news articles has also come under fire, with schools such as New York University even going so far as to ban students from using it over fears of plagiarism.

 

Nonetheless, ChatGPT has continued to gain popularity, and its parent company, OpenAI, has even begun offering a $20 per month service which provides users with faster response rates during peak hours.

The Feds Have All The Evidence They Need To Go After Jeffrey Epstein’s Buddies. Here’s Why They Still Roam Free

 

Jeffrey Epstein’s associates could face federal criminal prosecutions based on the available evidence, but and building a case against them could take years, sex trafficking legal experts say.

 

Epstein kept a detailed list of his contacts in a little black book and was photographed with many powerful figures, including former President Bill Clinton, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom, former President Donald Trump and more.

 

Epstein’s longtime pilot, Larry Visoski, testified during the criminal trial of Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, that he saw Clinton, Trump and disgraced actor Kevin Spacey among Epstein’s famous clients. He did not make specific allegations in his testimony. One Maxwell accuser, who testified under pseudonym, said in her testimony that Maxwell bragged about her connections to powerful figures.

 

The legal action against Epstein’s alleged associates has been confined to civil lawsuits by victims and attorneys general, despite the evidence available for criminal prosecutions, such as Epstein’s little black book and the testimonies in the Maxwell trial.

 

Benjamin Bull, chief legal counsel at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), said prosecutors should be “salivating” over the chance to pursue justice for Epstein’s victims. “Any serious prosecutor worth his salt would be all over this little black book,” Bull told the Daily Caller.

 

“It’s a roadmap leading to the people guilty of trafficking children among Epstein’s friends and benefactors, such as Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and other prominent but culpable perpetrators,” he continued. “The scandal waiting to explode is why law enforcement has ignored this ever-growing sex trafficking ring. We need an explanation for why people are not being charged and prosecuted. Is this an instance of classic influence peddling corruption in law enforcement? Why no action? The silence is now deafening.”

 

Bull is a former prosecutor of obscenity and child pornography cases and has won multiple cases in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. He has also trained Justice Department prosecutors, numerous state attorneys general and prosecutorial organizations.

 

An investigation and prosecution involving wide-ranging criminal activity by sex traffickers can take years before charges are brought, and the international scale of Epstein’s activities could slow the process even more.

US tech giants funding China's race to supremacy in AI — the 'battlefield of the future'

 

"[T]ransactions involving U.S. investors totaled $40.2 billion invested into 251 Chinese AI companies," accounting for "37 percent of the $110 billion raised by all Chinese AI companies," according to new report from Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology.

 

A recently leaked memo from Gen. Mike Minihan, the head of the U.S. Air Mobility Command (AMC), suggested that, within the next two years, the U.S. would be at war with China over Taiwan.

 

"I hope I am wrong," wrote the four-star general, before adding that his gut feeling is that "we will fight in 2025." The leaked memo comes at a time when, according to a recent article in The Economist, tensions between the U.S. and China are at an all-time high — a conclusion amply reinforced by recent headlines about the test of wills between the two nations over a Chinese spy balloon the Pentagon believes was overflying sensitive U.S. military sites.

 

The wars of tomorrow will be won by the nations with the best technology, including, especially, the best artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. China is fast-becoming the global leader in AI, thus creating arguably the greatest cybersecurity threat facing the United States today, as a 2021 article in the Harvard Business Review noted.

 

The U.S. "must maintain vigilance and win the battle being fought in global cyberspace — it is the battlefield of the future," former FBI crisis manager and security risk expert Jim DiOrio told Just the News. In many ways, he added, "quantum computing and AI should be viewed as the new space race."

 

Despite what's at stake — for U.S. security and global freedom — in the competition with China for AI supremacy, major U.S. investors have played a significant role in funding this threat.

 

A new report released by researchers at Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology shows many U.S. companies are investing inordinate sums of money in Chinese companies. Between 2015 and 2021, 167 U.S. investors participated in over 400 investment transactions involving Chinese AI companies, representing 17% of the global total of 2,299.

 

Investors have included Intel and Qualcomm, multinational semiconductor giants headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif. and San Diego, respectively. Qualcomm, with 13 investments, and Intel, with 11, were both outdone by GGV Capital. The global venture capital firm, also based in California, made a total of 43 investments in China's AI sector.

 

"Collectively, observed transactions involving U.S. investors totaled $40.2 billion invested into 251 Chinese AI companies," accounting for "37 percent of the $110 billion raised by all Chinese AI companies," according to the Georgetown report.

 

"Venture Capital firms need to do a better job performing their due diligence — maybe even engaging an independent third party vendor to conduct it," said DiOrio, who has been sounding the alarm on the threat from China for years.

 

"It's no secret that the CCP is alive and well in every aspect of the U.S. corporate structure, including academia," he said. "They continue to steal intellectual property globally and utilize it to strengthen their standing."

 

In the coming months, the Biden administration is expected to issue an executive order effectively banning some U.S. investments in Chinese tech industries. Such a ban, if and when it is introduced, would be welcomed by elected leaders on both sides of the political aisle.
