Hunter Biden Admits to Biden Family’s China Deals for $Millions After Years of Denial

Hunter Biden on Thursday admitted and then justified the Biden family’s multi-million dollar business with Chinese entities close to the Chinese Communist Party after years of denial.

Hunter Biden, a private citizen with every right to pursue his own business endeavors, joined several business partners in seeking a joint venture with a privately-owned, legitimate energy company in China. As part of that joint venture, Hunter received his portion of good faith seed funds which he shared with his uncle, James Biden, and Hallie Biden, with whom he was involved with at the time, and sharing expenses.

Hunter’s spokesman continued, “Rep. Comer takes something old and tries to make it new by wrapping it in a wild and baseless right-wing conspiracy … The accounts so dramatically listed by Rep. Comer belonged to Hunter, his uncle and Hallie – nobody else.”

Hunter’s statement is a public relations attempt to push back on House Oversight Committee James Comer’s (R-KY) confirmation that the Biden family business received a $3 million wire transfer from a Chinese energy company and subsequent payments after President Joe Biden left the vice presidency in 2017.

Comer has also found evidence that shows the Biden family business received $179,836.86 while Joe Biden was in the White House. Although the sum appears to be insignificant compared to the $31 million received by the business during Joe Biden’s time as vice president, the new amount builds upon the previous reporting in 2022 by Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer.

Hunter’s statement is notable because it represents the first time he has ever acknowledged his family made millions from Chinese business deals.

Bashar Assad Tells Moscow He Wants More Russian Bases in Syria

Syrian dictator Bashar Assad during a visit to Moscow this week wholeheartedly supported Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, offering his government’s official recognition of the phony “independent republics” Russia carved out of eastern Ukraine, and said he would like more Russian forces stationed permanently in Syria.

Assad met with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on Wednesday to give thanks for his military support during the Syrian Civil War. He also thanked Putin for help after the massive February earthquakes in Turkey caused extensive damage and loss of life in Syria.
...
“I say that these are Russian territories, and even if the war had not happened, these are historically Russian territories,” Assad said of the ersatz “republics” of Donetsk and Luhansk Putin declared at the outset of the war.
...
“We think that expanding the Russian presence in Syria is a good thing. Russia’s military presence in any country should not be based on anything temporary,” he said.

Ersatz would normally mean replacement in German but here they could also stand for  dummy or substitute or imitation.

Argentina Wants to Buy Chinese Fighter Jets

Argentina’s embassy to China said on Tuesday that President Alberto Fernandez is considering the purchase of JF-17 “Thunder” fighter jets from China — three months after a deal for JF-17s fell apart and Fernandez said his government would not buy any military aircraft in the near future.

“Argentina has to allocate its resources to more important things than the purchase of military aircraft,” Fernandez said in December after scrapping a plan to buy JF-17s, which can sell for up to $25 million apiece, depending on the exact model and its accessories.

The Argentinian president noted at the time that his country had no adversaries that would require advanced warplanes to fight, and his regional agenda was for peace and cooperation, not war.
...
Competitors for Argentina’s business included fighters from India and Russia, along with secondhand American-made F-16s offered by Denmark. Some other options were ruled out because they contained British-made parts, a sticking point because Argentina has been under a U.K. military embargo ever since the Falkland Islands war in 1982.

Paris Burns: Hundreds Arrested as Rioters Set Trash Fires,
Clash with Cops After Macron Tries to Pass Pension Reform Without a Vote

Hundreds of people were arrested in Paris on Thursday evening as spontaneous protests and riots sprung up after President Emmanuel Macron’s government invoked a constitutional loophole to pass its controversial legislation to raise the retirement age without a vote in the National Assembly.

As of midnight Paris time, some 217 people were arrested in the French capital after the city erupted in rage after the National Assembly was bypassed by the globalist Macron government which used article 49.3 of the constitution to pass through its controversial plans to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64-years-old by the year 2030 in order to keep the programme from going under.

The ‘city of light’ was set ablaze by radicals who set fires across Paris, enabled, in part by the fact that tonnes of trash littered the streets as a result of a garbage workers strike also in response to the pension reform plans, Le Parisien reported.

Rioters also set fire to barricades and clashed with police, who deployed water cannons and tear gas canisters in response.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin also asked for police to give extra protection to senators and MPs amid the growing anger among the populace. This was said to be a precaution.

Venezuela’s Maduro Commits to Building
‘Alternative to Savage Capitalism’ with China

Chinese dictator Xi Jinping personally presided over the online event titled “High-Level Dialogue with the Communist Party of China and Political Parties of the World.” Maduro joined Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and Le Hoai Trung, head of the Foreign Relations Commission of the Communist Party of Vietnam, among others, in the virtual meeting.

#EnVivo ? | Presidente @NicolasMaduro participa en el Diálogo de Alto Nivel entre el Partido Comunista de China y Partidos Politicos del Mundo, cuyo tema principal es "El Camino hacia la Modernización: Responsabilidad de los Partidos Politicos"

#Live | President @Nicolas Maduro partakes in the High Level Dialogue with the Communist Party of China and Political Parties of the World, its main point is "The Road to Modernization: Responsibility of Political Parties"

“I send you all our commitment in the work and in the daily struggle to build, as we are building, an alternative to savage capitalism, to neoliberal capitalism, to imperialist hegemonism. An independent, sovereign alternative,” Maduro asserted.

The socialist dictator continued by claiming that Venezuela will support the Chinese Communist Party calls for a “community of a shared future,” insisting on the need for dialogue and coordination among the countries of the world to “make diversity shine.”
...
Maduro also made calls “to create alternative models to hegemony, to economic blackmail, to the attempt to impose through coercion, the blackmail of aggression, to impose their domination on our people,” in reference to sanctions imposed by the United States, Canada, the European Union, and other countries on Maduro, his socialist regime, and its high-ranking members.

Maduro assured Xi that the “times of empires are over” — apparently not in reference to China’s own imperialist activities in Tibet, East Turkistan, Africa, and the South China Sea — and that the time has come for a new world based on the integration of peoples opposed to the United States.
...
“The multipolar and multicentric world deserves a lot of effort, perseverance on the right path to build a civilization, as comrade Xi Jinping has raised, which allows the beautiful diversity of the culture and strength of the peoples to shine,” he continued.

 Yeah, it's so diverse that they arrest dissenters or political opponents just because.
Plus, a multipolar world is nothing but a (communist) global government disguised as a blessing.

Leftist Politician Fined for Faking Neo-Nazi Hate Crimes Against Himself

A politician for Germany’s left-wing Green party has been fined $3,800 for faking neo-nazi hate crimes against himself.

Manoj Jansen, a former councillor for the German Greens, was handed a €3,600 (~$3,814) fine by a court in Germany on Wednesday after it was found that he had faked a number of neo-nazi hate crimes against himself.

Jansen had claimed that he was the victim of repeated far-right attacks and hate crimes, with the politician reportedly having his property vandalised and emblazoned with swastikas and SS runes by suspected neo-nazis.

However, authorities came to the conclusion that the immigration-heritage leftist politician had likely faked the alleged hate incidents last September, with some local publications have since reported that at least one of the swastikas said to have been painted onto Jansen’s car were the wrong way around.
...
During a court hearing on Wednesday however, Bild reports that this fine has now been upheld, with Jansen reportedly dropping their objection to the punishment after a private conversation between his lawyer and the presiding judge.

Jansen is said to have made a “big show” during the hearing, however, breaking down crying during the hearing while shielding his face with printed-out newspaper articles.

 This reminds me of a black guy that did something similar in the US some time ago.
