Infrastructure Make-over In The Cards For $4 Trillion Dollars

‘Infrastructure: the basic systems and services, such as transportation and power supplies, that a country or organization uses in order to work effectively.

I thought I’d take a look at President Joe Biden’s record in the Senate and see what types of things he’d sponsored over the years to become law and found a total of 28 bills in his 36 years ensconced there that had made it all the way.  TWENTY.  EIGHT. That’s the total from the 491 that he introduced during those years.  I had to do some math.  Rounded off, that’s 14 bills a year. Of course that doesn’t mean they were on a schedule, I’m just trying to get it clear in my head what this man did in THIRTY SIX years that show the American public they should be content to let him spend the trillions upon trillions of dollars he intends. (Which you well know will come out of our tax dollars.)

There are of course not just bills, but resolutions and co-resolutions etc. and bills he’s listed as co-sponsor on, but I’m talking about what did this man actually accomplish on his own while in the Senate?  He managed to get 28 bills turned into laws.  I wonder if his voting public knows that at least ten of those enhanced the position of law enforcement and criminal courts.

As a matter of fact, the last bill he sponsored in his role of senator that became law was the following:

1. S.3605 — 110th Congress (2007-2008) Criminal History Background Checks Pilot Extension Act of 2008  Sponsor: Sen. Biden, Joseph R., Jr. [D-DE] (Introduced 09/26/2008) Cosponsors: (1)

I find that rather odd requiring background checks of volunteers for criminal history when he’s content to let just anyone into the United States through our Southern borders.  But I digress.

Each of the bills that are sponsored are assigned to a committee for study to determine if they should be passed on and of the 28 bills that became law because of Biden’s introduction and sponsorship,  only one was sent to the committee for Transportation and Infrastructure. In THIRTY SIX years.  And to just make me shake my head even further this is the summary of the bill.

Introduced in Senate (11/20/1993)
Extends to December 29, 1996, the authority for the Marshal of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court Police to protect, in any part of the United States, the Chief Justice of the United States and any Associate Justice, official guest, officer, or employee of the Supreme Court while such person is engaged in official duties.

Don’t even get me started on the man’s choice for Secretary of Transportation.  Right.  From the little I saw of Pete Buttigieg during the Democratic debates he struck me as a well-meaning, concerned individual but do you put a 39 year old history and literature major, economist, philosopher and intended career politician, Rhodes Scholar or not, into a position that can literally bring the country to a halt or at least slow it down a good bit if mismanaged?

“He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying. ”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

There are 13 agencies  in the U.S. Department of Transportation that this man oversees and these include  the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Railroad Administration, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  Quite a big bite for a mayor from a relatively small town.  I wouldn’t call it a city.  I live in a small town not quite as large as South Bend, and while they like to call it a city, it’s really not.  I don’t see anything in his experience to think he should be the person who has a large part in doling out perhaps as many as $4 trillion dollars.

In 2015 he told Fortune magazine, “The dream is to actually have a real-life version of Sim City at my fingertips,” referencing South Bend. Pete- you’re not in Indiana anymore. I would prefer to have my tax dollars wasted by someone with actual real life experience and not a person who thinks of the responsibilities at their fingertips as a computer game.  I guess though with trillions of dollars at your disposal you could buy a pretty sick game controller.

Between the guy who’s done diddly squat in 36 years and the guy who’s just three years older than that, I don’t see any of it turning out well enough to justify the expenditure.

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” – G. Orwell

I wonder if George knew at the time he wrote those words that he was ably predicting how swiftly things in the future would change.  I think all he actually had to do to be such an on point prophet was study history, apply a good dose of imagination and innate intelligence, and voila- “1984” was born.  If you’ve never read the book then you probably don’t know what Newspeak is so I’ll post this description:

To meet the ideological requirements of English Socialism in Oceania, (one of the settings in Orwell’s novel, 1984) the ruling English Socialist Party created Newspeak, a controlled language of simplified grammar and restricted vocabulary designed to limit the individual’s ability to think and articulate “subversive” concepts such as personal identity, self-expression and free will.

Look around you and if you don’t see how that’s being slowly implemented into everyday life then you might as well stop reading now because nothing else I have to say will hold any interest for you.

Another way to reinforce the conditioning set forth by implementing Newspeak, as my good old friend David wrote recently on his site, “Third World County”, is by simply doing away with things that would endanger that agenda;  January 21, 2021: Dhimmicraps Start Officially Scrubbing History, by removing The Presidents Advisory 1776 Commission Final Report from the White House website.  He’s taken the copy of it he managed to download and has archived it in case the one he linked to on Wikipedia happened to disappear as well.  I’ve done the same.

I honestly feel that the mainstream media that gleefully reported the removal and did not link to the report, are actively engaged and hand in hand with those in power that intend to shape the United States to their specific design and don’t care a fig for the truth.  If you read the post before this one you’ll see why I lean in that direction.  If history does indeed teach us that we learn nothing from history as Hegel  suggests, why was the document removed?  Simply because it was something that Trump arranged to have put together or because it was too close to actual truth?

Even if it was all hogwash does the President think the citizenry is too stupid or uninformed to make a decision on something’s relevancy?  Could very well be,  he’s sitting in the office and that says something about people’s intelligence right there. Whatever the case may be you’ll have to read it to decide for yourselves and thanks to Wiki and David and myself, and the others out there that are also saving the PDF file, you’ll be able to at least have a hope to find it if Wiki’s disappears too. The Wayback Machine has an archived copy also. It was on the White House site on the 18th and gone on the 21st.  

If you go to the White House website search and type in 1776 to see what will be found for that you’ll see a lot of references to Joe Biden and “racial equality” and what he’s going to do to promote that. It sure won’t find any trace of the document he had removed.  So now he’s the face of racial equality? Excuse me.  A few of his quotes are in order I believe.

“unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community.”

“I think the Democratic Party could stand a liberal George Wallace — someone who’s not afraid to stand up and offend people, someone who wouldn’t pander but would say what the American people know in their gut is right”

“I oppose busing, to the chagrin of some of my liberal colleagues”

“You got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” (speaking about President Obama.)

“We should challenge students in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

Black and Latino Americans are dying of COVID-19 at rates nearly three times that of white Americans.  And it’s not white Americans’ fault, but it’s just a fact.  And the Americans now know it, especially younger Americans.

So to hell with all the other races I guess.  Only blacks and latinos and whites seem worth a mention to him for the most part.  I’ve never really thought about myself as a white American.  I’ve just always thought I was a person.  The more you refer to people as this or that the more it reinforces those words in a person’s mind.  He could have said various segments of our population are dying much faster than others and that’s no one’s fault.  You don’t have to relate everything in terms of color but then it wouldn’t stand up to whatever agenda you’re trying to promote now would it? 

I detest the man and his lies about his son and what he knew about China and the Ukraine.  Anyone with a single lick of sense that has seen the evidence I’ve put together, and can believe that he and his son weren’t involved in some really shady dealings are either delusional or lying to themselves.  It is SO obvious. 

I wouldn’t doubt now that he’s president he’ll find a way to covertly remove all the evidence that’s out there that points directly to and affirms his and his son’s guilt, or/and bring pressure to bear on people that know the truth, so the truth, just like the 1776 report, can be removed or at the very least kept quiet.  Until then, just like the 1776 report, out of site, out of mind, or as the title of this piece suggests; “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” 

Don’t listen to the Newspeak.  Do your own research.  OPEN YOUR MINDS.

Responsible Journalism; A Thing Of The Past?

The Society of Professional Journalists was created in 1909 and have the following tenets in their Code of Ethics:

Seek Truth and Report It
Ethical journalism should be accurate and fair. Journalists should be honest and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.

Minimize Harm-
Ethical journalism treats sources, subjects, colleagues and members of the public as human beings deserving of respect.

Act Independently-
The highest and primary obligation of ethical journalism is to serve the public.

Be Accountable and Transparent-
Ethical journalism means taking responsibility for one’s work and explaining one’s decisions to the public.

There are many other statements of expected conduct listed beneath those headings as well and make for an interesting read when considering what may be reported in various publications or seen on  different news channels.

During the last few weeks leading up to the 2020 Presidential election much attention was given to Hunter Biden from the Trump camp  about his supposed involvement with a Chinese fund and monies he may have received via that avenue and whether his father, Trump’s main opposition, Democratic candidate Joe Biden, had any knowledge of that involvement.  Also questioned was Hunter’s stint on the board of Burisma.

I was doing some research into the accusations and found an article from The Washington Post dated October 13, 2019 with a dual byline by Michael Kranish and Anna Fifield.  According to the information listed there about these two, Mr. Kranish is a national political investigative reporter, and Ms. Fifield is a former Beijing bureau chief.  With those type of credentials I imagined they’d have some real insight into the article titled, “Hunter Biden says he will resign from Chinese company board and won’t take foreign work if his father is president.”

Having done a bit of research myself into these events I thought it would be interesting to see how our information lined up.  The gist of their coverage as I’m seeing it is this-

“Li, the Chinese investor, would become general manager of BHR, the “first cross-border investment private equity firm” to be registered in Shanghai’s free-trade zone, according to Chinese business-credit record search engine Tianyancha.”

and

“Archer created a new company, which he wholly owned, to form a joint partnership with a Chinese firm run by Li, according to those involved in the deal.”

and

“It’s not clear whether Hunter Biden did anything other than provide a high-profile name — and a connection to the vice president of the United States — that might lure investors.”

Li did not respond to phone calls, a fax, emails or a hand-delivered letter requesting comment. BHR took down its website after Trump’s comments attracted attention to the fund. The Washington Post sought to reach Archer for comment through his lawyer, who did not respond to the request.

and

“The archived website shows a picture of Hunter Biden, identified as a director, alongside Archer, the vice chairman, and a number of Chinese executives.”

The following is why I’m questioning the integrity of this article. How is it possible that at the same time these two reporters wrote this article I also wrote an article (questioning some things I didn’t believe The New York Times got quite right) and found the answer to one of their most important questions and I didn’t have to request that information from anyone, Devon Archer, Li, their lawyers, or otherwise?

It’s said a picture is worth a thousand words. I have to agree in this case.

In that last quote you’ll see where they’ve referenced “the archived website”.  The archived website they refer to is a capture by The Wayback Machine, or The Web Archives, whichever you’d like to call it.  One of my questions is why didn’t they dig a little deeper and find what I found?  Let me start with that first quote-

screen capture

I’ve left these images large so there should be no problem in viewing them.  Check the date at the top to see when the capture was taken.  Now note what I’ve highlighted in yellow; Rosemont Seneca Partners (“RSP”). This is important.  Why?  The next image should explain that.

Rosemont Seneca

Is this the supposed company created by Devon Archer that he owns wholly alone?  I think not.  If you’ll notice the date it’s October of  2011, so it could be said that perhaps by the time BHR was created in 2013 that Hunter Biden was no longer a part of Rosemont Seneca except for the following:

Managing partner

Now just to make matters more interesting, take a look at one of the original overviews from October of 2014 on the first image, and compare it to this one from March of 2018 and the other dated September of 2019.  Why was Rosemont Seneca Partners dropped from the information?  If that isn’t interesting I don’t know what is.

It’s not like this is some major secret that no one can locate in the “archives”.  Wikipedia even has a page dedicated to RSP. So how is it that these esteemed journalists from The Washington post managed to find archives with a picture of Hunter Biden shown on the management team page as a director (even though they just linked it), but had to ask questions of people to which they received no reply to try to arrive at the questions they were asking?  All they had to do was research a little further.

I’m not even going to touch on the Burisma portion of said article.  I’ll leave this link for the Staff report though from the following committees- U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs  and the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance Majority – if you’d like to see what they have to say about it all.  Actually, I’ll give you their conclusion before the link-

The records acquired by the Committees also show 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 and Devon Archer, in particular, formed significant
and consistent financial relationships with the corrupt oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky during their
time working for Burisma, and their firms made millions of dollars from that association while
Joe Biden was vice president and the public face of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy.
Rosemont Seneca Thornton, an investment firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, received $3.5
million in a wire transfer from Elena Baturina, who allegedly received illegal construction
contracts from her husband, the then-mayor of Moscow. Moreover, Archer’s apparent receipt of
money for a car from Kenges Rakishev of Kazakhstan while Vice President Biden was in Kyiv is
especially concerning in light of the timing. And finally, Biden and Archer’s work with Chinese
nationals connected to the Communist regime illustrate the deep financial connections that
accelerated while Joe Biden was vice president and continued after he left office.
The Chairmen’s investigation has faced many obstacles from the minority and from
executive agencies that have failed to comply with document requests. Accordingly, there
remains much work to be done.

It’s a lengthy read but VERY interesting. Perhaps Mr. Kranish and Ms. Fifield should give it a look.
Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on U.S. Government Policy and Related Concerns

The New York Times Debunks Nothing About Hunter And China

After watching the impeachment hearings and listening to testimony, I found it hard to believe that there could be so much difference between what was said by one witness to the next when the testimony came from those of opposing parties. Talk about diametrically opposed.  The blaring discrepancies made me certain one side or the other was lying or at the very least uninformed or confused, so having questions I didn’t feel had been answered by anyone, I thought I’d see if I could determine anything for myself.

I have always been able to find my way around the Internet, so I decided to look into a few of the allegations and my searching led me to  an article titled, “Debunking 4 Viral Rumors About the Bidens and Ukraine” published October 29, 2019 in  The New York Times by reporter, Davey Alba. She wrote that these rumors are prominent falsehoods, and that what had actually happened would be explained. The site noted that disinformation is what the award-winning journalist covers, so I thought, finally, someone is going to remove the scales from our eyes and let us know what is going on and lay bare the lies.

I was really looking forward to seeing the truth and decided I was at least asking the right questions to have located the piece, and now some of them would be answered, but when they weren’t, this is the part of the article I decided to evaluate on my own.

The Bidens have each said they never discussed Hunter’s business in China.

The $1.5 billion figure Mr. Trump has referred to appears to be the amount of money a Shanghai private-equity company raised in 2014. Hunter Biden joined the board of the company, BHR Equity Investment Fund Management, in late 2013. In 2017, he bought 10 percent of the firm, investing the equivalent of $420,000.

How much Mr. Biden has earned from his deals in China is unclear. A lawyer representing Mr. Biden said he had never been paid for his role on the board, and had not profited financially since he began as a part owner.

Evidently I don’t understand what debunking means because I found nothing that debunked anything in her article.  All I found were responses  by the parties the rumors were about to questions asked, and I didn’t see mention of how anyone knew that the answers and explanations being given were true. I would most certainly hope that people would be honest, particularly in matters of such great importance and interest to the nation as a whole, but in general I’m a skeptic, and I didn’t find any mention of the answers being evaluated with the aid of any apparatus to determine the veracity of rebuttal to certain charges.  All I found in the Times piece was the necessity to believe without questioning or doing any real research that the statements were valid. So much for debunking and disinformation.

The following examples are what I have found in reference to said rumor and while part is fact, and those parts will be noted, the rest is a common sense evaluation of all combined discoveries. I have used the most logical tools on the Internet to aid me in this search for truth and I don’t believe the parties in question realized that there were such  powerful tools available to anyone with enough common sense and Internet savvy to find them and use them. My favorite is The WayBack Machine, or sometimes better known as the web archives. The only downfall with this tool is you have to work within the scope of capture times available, but thankfully all the sites I refer to were captured enough times that even without an exact date there is no doubt to be had when referencing a certain statement as the truth.

The Bidens have each said they never discussed Hunter’s business in China.

I guess then Hunter never mentioned to his Dad that it was Rosemont Seneca Partners, the company he started with  Eric Schwerin, Christopher D. Heinz and Devon Archer in 2010 that was one of the groups that formed BHR Partners to begin with in 2013.

Roosemont Seneca Partners

Seriously? No time during their moments together over the span of 6 years did he ever say a word about his involvement and the fact he was instrumental in its creation? The fact here is that those 4 men started RSP together and subsidiaries of same over the next few years and the parent company they all were a major part of was a main component in the creation of BHR. ( BHR Equity Investment Fund Management Co.,Ltd)  THAT is a fact.  See below.

You won’t see mention of Rosemont Seneca in the About Us in the current description though. I guess they figure out of sight out of mind but there IS this record to help you form your own conclusion.  Also, the site today has the same domain name that was created for the company at the formation. When you access the ICANN information there have been no changes since that creation. They would be noted if there had been. Because information can change over time, ICANN requires registrars to provide each domain name registrant with an annual opportunity to review and correct their domain name WHOIS data. They also get a reminder that providing false data can be grounds for cancellation of their domain name registrations. Anyone who submits false data or fails to respond to registrar inquiries related to the accuracy of their data risks having their domain name be cancelled or suspended. Domain name registrants need to respond quickly to inquiries from their registrar related to the accuracy of their contact data to avoid cancellation or suspension after being formed that it had then. That is a FACT.

Hunter joined the board in late 2013. 

Let’s see about that.  This capture wasn’t taken by The WayBack Machine (web archives), until the 4th of October 2014 but sure enough it shows that Rosemont Seneca Partners was included in the group that formed the company in 2013 so I guess they got part of it right; the 2013 part.  I wonder if being one of the most influential individuals within that particular orbit, given his father’s position within the government had anything to do with being on the board or was that given automatically to creators as part of the perks of OWNERSHIP.  That’s what happens when you create something, you normally own it.  You at the very least have a percentage of whatever it is you’ve made or help come into being. But wait. I bet I have a screen shot of ALL the people on the board there within the same time frame.  If you think I’m being facetious here, you would be totally correct. Devon Archer is right above him in the list as Vice Chairman but the other two original partners of RSP are missing. Perhaps they were silent partners.  No telling and there’s no point in speculating because I can tell from what I’ve uncovered so far that the truth will never see the light of day concerning all of the different facets of this little get together that Daddy knew absolutely NOTHING about.

BHR list of board membersHere’s another thing that makes me wonder just how much were/are the creators, owners, board members, flies on the wall, serious about making this company appear to be legitimate and a going concern?  I’m not saying that it’s not, far be it from me to understand those kinds of things except for one small issue.  This site, which NOW shows assets of over 2 Billion US dollars has no SSL certificate and although that may be said to be because of the following, why not move the information to a server outside of the country?

China has a fairly odd relationship with SSL/TLS. Many of the websites there do have SSL certificates installed, but the browsers in China don’t require users to actually use them. And there’s a reason for that. While best practice holds that you should encrypt your entire website – every page, every asset, everything – that effectively prevents the censors from being able to see anything at all. After all, the whole site is encrypted. This can lead to draconian penalties where China will outright ban an entire website when it’s really only trying to get rid of a couple of pages.

Does this sound like a good way to run a business that has so much capital at stake?  Who would feel really comfortable investing in such a firm?

Google will flag all the unencrypted internet by the end of 2017.

Google will flag 2/3rd of the web as unsafe.

This means if your website doesn’t have an SSL certificate, it will display a ‘Not Secure’ in the URL bar.  Look at the address bar on this site, it shows you a locked lock.  LOL  I really need to update things around here but I’m not selling anything, and I write very seldom anymore.

Despite what I think they must be picking up business in lots of places because when Hunter bought his touted 10% of the business, his share was reported as being worth 420,000 US dollars, but now only two years later the company claims to have assets worth the equivalent of over 2 Billion US dollars according to the Overview information found under the Team tab.

Since 2014, the BHR team has invested over RMB15 Billion in various portfolio companies including Henniges Automotive, Didi Chuxing, Watagan Mining Company, Tenke Furugume Mining.

I guess Hunter’s just been there all this time for his health as no one seems to be able to find any financial recompense he’s received. Believe what you want to believe but understand this, there is something not quite right about all of this and surely the White House has investigative people who could have found what I did even if The New York Times doesn’t, or could care less about actually trying to get the mud off the rug and instead just sweep it under.

I think they should be ashamed of themselves in saying that anything was debunked, and they certainly shouldn’t have lied about explaining things.  I’m not a bit surprised that President Trump thinks it should be investigated especially after the things I found in the Burisma archives, but that’s another story. I’m more confused now than when I started.
