Last Thursday, a caller into the Mark Levin Show made a brilliant point: Joe Biden has been completely compromised by Red China, and perhaps other foreign interests. His family members, and perhaps Biden himself, have significant personal wealth now controlled by Beijing.

While his troubled son Hunter may have forfeited his “board seat” (as an aside, how many no-show jobs does this clown have?), his ownership stake in the $1.5 billion “hedge fund” appears to remain in force. The typical fee that managers would charge for these assets would typically be between $15 and $30 million a year. Nice work if you can get it. And you can’t, because your last name isn’t that of a powerful Democrat politician.

Biden isn’t the only one beholden to China. John Kerry’s stepson is a partner in Rosemont Seneca, the investment firm that “partnered” with the Bank of China to create a $1 billion investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). As Peter Schweizer notes:

What was not reported was the deal that Hunter was securing. Rosemont Seneca Partners had been negotiating an exclusive deal with Chinese officials, which they signed approximately 10 days after Hunter visited China with his father. The most powerful financial institution in China, the government’s Bank of China, was setting up a joint venture with Rosemont Seneca.

Often those foreign entities gained favorable policy actions from the United States government just as [the Kerry and Biden] sons were securing favorable financial deals from those same entities.

The Bank of China is an enormously powerful financial institution. But the Bank of China is very different from the Bank of America. The Bank of China is government-owned, which means that its role as a bank blurs into its role as a tool of the government. The Bank of China provides capital for “China’s economic statecraft,” as scholar James Reilly puts it. Bank loans and deals often occur within the context of a government goal.

As an aside, Associated Press, you feckless loons, the charges against the Biden and Kerry families aren’t “baseless” as you claim. They’re well-documented. You just have to know how to read a book or use Google DuckDuckGo.

So how did a seemingly drug-addicted ne’er-do-well pull down a $1.5 billion “investment” from China? We know why. Because his Dad was serving as the United States Vice President at the time; he had a reasonable shot at becoming President; and Communist Red China wanted an inexpensive way to control a weak-willed, lifetime politician.

China has not only compromised Biden, it is extremely likely that they are actively colluding with Democrats and the media to take down Trump.

Consider Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), whose financial ties to the Red Chinese are well-known through her husband, who somehow (like Hunter Biden) landed tens of millions of dollars in “investments” as she chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee. Worse yet, China was able to implant a spy into her staff for about 20 years. But, of course, she knew nothing.

We all know that President Trump is costing China a lot of money.

The media’s unprecedented and insane attacks against Trump raise my Spidey-sense.

How much would it take to buy off the likes of Chuck Todd, or Jake Tapper, or Brian Stelter? Probably a lot less than $1.5 billion, that’s for sure. Their unhinged and nonstop attacks against the 45th Commander-In-Chief are unprecedented. I don’t care about Trump’s tax returns. How about Todd’s or Tapper’s?

President Bill Clinton’s traitorous deals with Red China, which involved him trading sophisticated missile guidance technology in exchange for campaign contributions are well-documented. But that kind of collusion is of no interest to the media.

The potential ties between Democrats, Media, and Red China make me extremely uncomfortable. In my view, it is likely that the Red Chinese have compromised the Democrat leadership and are now orchestrating the so-called “impeachment” of President Donald J. Trump.

Prove me wrong.

This is what happens when we stop teaching civics and government classes in high school. People start believing that politics is government and that appearances and personal opinion circumvent the rule of law and the US Constitution. This is a direct result of the Progressive Movement having captured the education system and the mainstream media complex.

The Associated Press published a piece on October 12th, titled, “Former Ukraine envoy testifies Trump pushed to oust her”. In the article it states:

“…former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch told House impeachment investigators Friday that Trump himself pressured the State Department to oust her from her post and get her out of the country.”

Just the day before the AP published no less than three articles under three different titles covering the exact same content:

• 1) Former envoy defies Trump, testifies he pushed to oust her (the very same article as published on October 12th)
• 2) The Latest: Ex-diplomat’s testimony ends after 9-plus hours
• 3) Former ambassador testifies that Trump pushed for her ouster (an original accounting later re-written and published twice more)

You will please note that they are all different URL links to separate stories. To say that the AP – and this is just one of the usual suspects in the mainstream media complex – is pushing this story would be a grotesque understatement.

That propaganda initiative aside, this brings me to the larger point to be made in this article. Everyone in the Executive Branch – with the complication of agency, bureau, and departmental Inspector Generals – serves at the pleasure of the President of the United States. This is especially true of US Ambassadors.

Merriam-Webster explains that the phrase means, literally:

“…used to say that something is done or can be done because someone wants it to be done; i.e. ‘I serve at the pleasure of the president, and I will continue to serve as long as the president wants me to.’”

To wit – and with regard to these incredibly misleading AP stories, the President doesn’t need to “pressure” anyone to have a sitting US Ambassador removed from the post. He simply needs to express his desire for the removal to take place. The President doesn’t even need to provide a reason.

The same Progressive charlatans that are trying to make the electorate believe that politics is government; that the political wrangling we are served up each and every day on talk radio and the alphabet news programs is actually the execution of government, want us to believe that the removed US Ambassador had a “right” to her position above that of existing at the pleasure of the President of the United States. This notion is demonstrably false, yet it is being advanced on the American public without definition, examination, or discussion.

The American citizenry has “enlightened” itself into the perfect storm without even realizing it following the old adage about the frog in the pot of boiling water. Progressives have increased their ideological manipulation of the American people so incrementally that we have willingly abdicated our knowledge of how our government works, what its responsibilities are, what its boundaries are, and – literally – its purpose.

Today, as our education system and mainstream media complex openly manipulate reality and the facts of the matter, We the People are vulnerable because of what Donald Rumsfeld used to call the “unknown-unknowns”. We don’t know what we don’t know…and that’s a terrifying state in which to exist.
