Tyler Durden's picture




 

The farce is complete...

Burisma Holdings, Ukraine’s largest private gas producer, has expanded its Board of Directors by bringing on Mr. R Hunter Biden as a new director.

 

R. Hunter Biden will be in charge of the Holdings’ legal unit and will provide support for the Company among international organizations. On his new appointment, he commented: “Burisma’s track record of innovations and industry leadership in the field of natural gas means that it can be a strong driver of a strong economy in Ukraine. As a new member of the Board, I believe that my assistance in consulting the Company on matters of transparency, corporate governance and responsibility, international expansion and other priorities will contribute to the economy and benefit the people of Ukraine.”

The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Burisma Holdings, Mr. Alan Apter, noted: “The company’s strategy is aimed at the strongest concentration of professional staff and the introduction of best corporate practices, and we’re delighted that Mr. Biden is joining us to help us achieve these goals.”

R. Hunter Biden is a counsel to Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, a national law firm based in New York, USA, which served in cases including “Bush vs. Gore”, and “U.S. vs. Microsoft”. He is one of the co-founders and a managing partner of the investment advisory company Rosemont Seneca Partners, as well as chairman of the board of Rosemont Seneca Advisors. He is an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University’s Masters Program in the School of Foreign Service.

Mr. Biden has experience in public service and foreign policy. He is a director for the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, The Center for National Policy, and the Chairman’s Advisory Board for the National Democratic Institute. Having served as a Senior Vice President at MBNA bank, former U.S. President Bill Clinton appointed him an Executive Director of E-Commerce Policy Coordination under Secretary of Commerce William Daley. Mr. Biden served as Honorary Co-Chair of the 2008 Obama-Biden Inaugural Committee.

Mr. Biden is a member of the bar in the State of Connecticut, and the District of Columbia, the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Court of Federal Claims. He received a Bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University, and a J.D. from Yale Law School.

R. Hunter Biden is also a well-known public figure. He is chairman of the Board of the World Food Programme U.S.A., together with the world’s largest humanitarian organization, the United Nations World Food Programme. In this capacity he offers assistance to the poor in developing countries, fighting hunger and poverty, and helping to provide food and education to 300 million malnourished children around the world.

Company Background:
Burisma Holdings is a privately owned oil and gas company with assets in Ukraine and operating in the energy market since 2002. To date, the company holds a portfolio with permits to develop fields in the Dnieper-Donets, the Carpathian and the Azov-Kuban basins. In 2013, the daily gas production grew steadily and at year-end amounted to 11.6 thousand BOE (barrels of oil equivalent – incl. gas, condensate and crude oil), or 1.8 million m3 of natural gas. The company sells these volumes in the domestic market through traders, as well as directly to final consumers.

This is what this motherfucker will actually do in the Ukraine:

- Stealing money and diverting back to the Bahamas

- Fucking Ukrainian hookers

- Snorting cocaine

- Hindering other people from doing their LEGITIMATE job

- Meddling in politics

- Creating chaos, death and destruction

Delaware voters are among the most gullible asholes in America. Delaware has been run into the ground by the Democrats since our last Republican Gov. Pierre DuPont.

 

Delaware is one of the most corrupt states in the country, so idiot Delaware voters elected pot head annuerism Boy, Joke Biden Jr to be our AG......yep, Delaware idiots elected a corrupt piece of shit democrat to oversee the corrupt piece of shit Delaware Democrat Party that has been robbing the taxpayer blind for 30 years.....

 

But I know, I know "both parties are the same".....and anyone who says that is a dumber asshole than the folks that voted for either Joke Biden or Joke Biden Jr.....

 

Fucking dumass motherfuckers.....

 

One should note that there is not a word about this in Delaware's Largest NewsPaper....the NewsJournal....aka the News Urinal.....

 

 

IF both parties were really the same as idiots often proclaim, then why does the media treat both parties so differently? The News urinal ignores all news that makes Delaware democrats look bad, that's why delaware democrats keep getting re-elected.....that's why Joke Biden is VP, and that's why Joke Biden Jr is delaware's AG....

Idiots who repeat stupidity never answer that question for some reason....

Another example of government insiders getting their kids jobs that put them first in line to get paid.

 

1. Senate Harry Reid son works for a chinese solar firm that need Rancher Bundy land for another pointless solar farm.

2. Senate  Warren daiughter set up a company that ended up buying the United Health Group(2nd largest health insurer in the US). So with Obamacare she should be all set.

 

so on and so on and so on.

But you know, any hard-working American with sufficient ambition could have risen to the same level as R. Hunter Biden, whose name is not gay-hipster at all, contrary to Putin's incoherent tweet-rambling. Just because R. Hunter Biden was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, like Romney, doesn't mean that he isn't brilliant and hardworking and and and deserving and intelligent and attractive and and don't interrupt me will add great value in his new sinecure with the Ukrainian gas oligarchs. Gas runs in the Biden family. We have seen plenty of it from ambidextrous defecator Uncle Joe.

Joe Biden "I'm a Zioinist, you don't have to be Jewish to be a Zionist"

JR's picture

As far-fetched as it sounds, Biden has decided that he wants to run for president. Hence, the attack on the Clintons, and now it’s time to call in the banker and AIPAC chips. Biden junior can provide two for one: 1) extending the banker connection to the politicians regarding Ukraine, and 2) getting American Jews on board for Biden for president (especially if rumored brain-damaged Hillary passes up the baton).

BIDEN QUOTE:

"Throughout my career, Israel has not only remained close to my heart but it has been the center of my work as a United States Senator and now as Vice President of the United States,"  And, he reminded listeners of his past words in a speech in the U.S.: I said were I a Jew, I would be a Zionist… you need not be a Jew to be a Zionist.”

Well, if they haven't figured it out yet, neither do a lot of us. God help them if they should ever need to rally the people to some cause...like military involvement in Ukraine. Better watch your boy there Joe, because the 'cavalry' might not be able to come to the rescue if things go south. Best have him do conference calls from Connecticut.

Just imagine, when RT reports stuff like this to the Russian population, the Western "media" claims it's all propaganda and screams Putin is a fascist. Meanwhile, the news we suck up every day is just so filled with facts and non-biased information, that we thank Jeebus, our American flag, and the Coca-Cola corporation from saving us from that evil fascist Putin.

Oh, it's just feudalism.  The first son takes over the family estate, the second son either goes into the Church or another family-business-related endeavor.  Somebody usually has to join the military, though certainly entering at an elevated level.  In our updated version of feudalism, the Biden family seems to be following the age-old script to a tee.

No matter the legality or lack thereof, I remember being a lowly executive in a F500 company. We'd have never allowed anything like this in the management ranks to occur. The level of conflict of interest would be unthinkable. I'm ashamed of my Country. Money and personal interests should play no part real or even remotely connected with potential conflict of interest between the political decision makers on foreign policy and the people whose private interests are tied to the situation in Ukraine. Shame on all of us for voting these guys into office!

It was a very decent opportunity related to my field of study, so I took it.  But I was kind of ashamed to show up, with myself and everyone else knowing that my Dad used his connections to get me hired me for a job when my boss had no choice about it. And that was just a summer job for a college kid.

Just sent to National and Foreign Desk editors at the NY Times:

 

The Farce Is Complete: Joe Biden's Son Joins Board Of Largest Ukraine Gas Producer

 

 

Read the headline and ask, do you still think the coup against the legitimate government of the Ukraine was caused by popular will – and had nothing to do with the US State Department pouring $5-billion into overthrowing the government?

 

And are you still to pump the propaganda for the CIA / EU / FED / ECB / IMF that it had nothing to do with western banking and corporate interests calling the shots?

 

And do you go to sleep at night happy that you are still telling the world that it’s all about “freedom” and “democracy,” and that we are doing this for the “humanitarian” good of the Ukraine people?

 

Or are you in the least beginning to see that you’ve been played as useful idiots by the corporations that own the MSM – who could care less about the truth. They are in it for the money – and they use you as their PR hacks.

 

If you think the Sulzbergers aren’t up to their necks in this as oligarchs themselves – you are one very naïve person. Why do you think Jill is pushing the bankster/Wall Street / corporate party line? The Sulzbergers are taking care of their own investments and their friends – and using you to be the wordsmiths prostituting the honor of the NYT to self-promote and keep the Sulzbergers happy.

 

So here is the link – read it for yourself – then try putting two and two together:

Germany's former Chancellor is directly tied to Russia's Gazprom.

What can we say about this in the context of R.H.Biden?

The world of oligarchs from the East and West threaten us all...that is the lesson here. Russia has a system that allows Oligarchs to get away with crimes against Russia and we in the West have equally criminal but well connected oligarchs.

Do not raise Putin or Obama up as being Heroes to the people. The Russian people and the Ukrainian people and the American people deserve better than what they have and they will not get it until money is divorced from politics. That is our challenge.

Wiki:
Gazprom[edit]
As Chancellor, Gerhard Schröder was a strong advocate of the Nord Stream pipeline project, which aims to supply Russian gas directly to Germany, thereby bypassing transit countries. The agreement to build the pipeline was signed two weeks before the German parliamentary election. On 24 October 2005, just a few weeks before Schröder stepped down as Chancellor, the German government guaranteed to cover 1 billion euros of the Nord Stream project cost, should Gazprom default on a loan. However, this guarantee had never been used.[20] Soon after stepping down as chancellor, Schröder accepted Gazprom's nomination for the post of the head of the shareholders' committee of Nord Stream AG, raising questions about a potential conflict of interest. German opposition parties expressed concern over the issue, as did the governments of countries over whose territory gas is currently pumped.[21] In an editorial entitled Gerhard Schroeder's Sellout, the American newspaper The Washington Post also expressed sharp criticism, reflecting widening international ramifications of Schröder's new post.[22] Democrat Tom Lantos, chairman of the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs, likened Schröder to a "political prostitute" for his recent behaviour.[23] In January 2009, the Wall Street Journal reported that Schröder would join the board of the oil company TNK-BP, a joint venture between oil major BP and Russian partners.[24]

I hope his little privledged ass will be safe. Its swell that it only took 3 weeks after his dad's visit to get the job. This is the true definition of "Entitlement". I don't want you to use that term as it relates to people who paid into, and expect, social security benefits.

Does anybody think this "job" looks like corruption and insider pork sucking? It certainly will be a CIA hub if they open an office. 

I hope and prey he won't be there when the mushroom clouds go up. We wouldn't want to lose one of our favorite sons and future office holder, legacy, and regal princeling. Yes greatness is inherited! Bow sheep. Bow before your betters.

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/05/john-boehner-brendan-buck-ahip-vic...

Brendan Buck, press secretary for House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), on Monday was named vice president of communications for America’s Health Insurance Plans.

Monday is Buck’s last day in Boehner’s office.

 

“Brendan’s experience and skill set will allow him to hit the ground running on Day One,” AHIP President and CEO Karen Ignagni said. “He’s an effective communicator who knows how to tackle complex policy issues and skillfully navigate an ever-changing health care and media environment.”

Buck, 32, a native of Alpharetta, Ga., has been Boehner’s press secretary for the past three years, and the speaker described him as “crucial” to earning back the public’s trust after Republicans took over the chamber.

“More than four years ago, hardly anyone believed we could win back the House,” Boehner said in a statement. “Listening to the American people and earning back their trust led to a new kind of governing agenda: our ‘Pledge to America.’ Brendan was an absolutely crucial part of that process. Then, he took a leading role in our communications shop, holding the White House accountable in the middle of some of the biggest fights this town has seen in quite a while. I’ve appreciated his advice, his energetic advocacy and his wit … Boehnerland will miss him.”

Buck started in Washington working for Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) and also worked as communications director for the Republican Study Committee. He took a leave of absence from Boehner’s office to work for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, as vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan’s press secretary.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2012/06/25/busted-health-insurers-...

According to the National Journal’s Influence Alley, at the very same time the American Health Insurance Plans (AHIP)—the health insurance industry super lobby—was cutting a deal with the White House leading to its stated support of the proposed Obamacare legislation, they were secretly funneling huge amounts money to the Chamber of Commerce to be spent on advertising designed to convince the public that the legislation should be defeated.

How much money?

A stunning $102.4 million spent over just 15 months.

While one would not think that so much money could be spent in secret, AHIP pulled it off by utilizing a completely legal process of funneling the cash to the Chamber under the radar while putting the giant expenditure on their books under the simple heading of ‘advocacy’.

So, why would AHIP try to secretly destroy a legislative scheme that would drive millions of new customers into their arms thanks to the mandated insurance provisions?

...

Any industry group is free to take whatever position it believes to be in the best interests of its members. However, to present itself as being supportive of critically important proposed law while secretly spending over $100 million to defeat the very same legislation is the ultimate in duplicitous behavior and should make very clear just what the health insurance industry is all about.

Whether you support or oppose the Affordable Care Act, I cannot imagine that this type of behavior would be acceptable to any American and stands as a shining example of the corruption big money imparts to our political system.

If the insurance industry lacks sufficient spine to take a legitimate stand on a piece of legislation that is critical to its interests—and ours— how do you imagine they are going to behave when you find yourself depending on these people to come through for you during a medical emergency?

If they support the "legislation" uncritically, they cannot place enough pressure on Congresscritters so as to weasel even more power and benefits to their industry.  The $102 million merely suggests how much more they believed they stood to gain, and that's pretty scary given that they just GOT finished checking the national prostate.

My god these fuckers are shameless greed mongers! Really, what the fuck can you say about these people. Set off a murderous gang of Nazis, destroy a whole nation and kill hundreds of people, all so some Washington DC cunts can line their pockets with money. Hell is too nice of a place for the entire Washington DC crowd of thugs, liars and spies. These pricks are spying on our every thought, deed and plan. They say we can't be trusted, we are all suspect in the eyes of the great Washington Police State.

This latest news is beyond even what I thought these greedy fucks were capable of. Nuland probably has family connections to hundreds of millions of dollars of the 5 billion she spent to fund a nazi revolution. Check Israeli Bank records, I bet much of that money was laundered through Israel and went to Israel based contractors to the State Department. We taxpayers are such suckers! They treat us like enemies of the state, with a gulag prison system for us if we are seen to threaten their power, they put us trillions in debt, use our good names as Americans to start wars, fund Al-Qaeda and now openly operate a Nazi forces inside Europe. These people have stolen America, we are prsioners in our own land, if we try and take America back, they have endless numbers of killer cops, spies, special forces and kill teams. It is a proven fact that the US miltiary special forces has a kill team of it's best special forces memebers that operates as a personal kill team for Obama. Obama commands these men, and only he can order the hits. I suspect the Maidan snipers were these men, acting on orders from a killer president who has carried out a drone war in 7-8 nations which Obama claims personal power over as commander of his kill squad.

Anyone a decade ago reading or writing about this sort of future would have been declared insane. YET, this is 2014 reality. As I write, Obama Nazi's are shooting up another village in East Ukraine. The only good thing is reports from Kiev acknowledge around 6-8 dead Nazis in the operation.

So I prefer to not read to much, I concentrate on my farmville game, tweet about the weather and stuff and update my FB status 3-4 times per day ("What's on your mind?"). Also I like to apply for jobs on my mobile phone "on the go", which I find really convenient, I play a game of candy crush and then I go to McDonalds for my Happy Meal (stopping by on the pharmacy on the way). Then heading home, my couch is waiting. I have Netflix, Apple TV and Amazon Prime and 370 TV channels to chose from. Only the stuff I like. Not these heavy depressive subjects...

Jack, don’t stop your bulletins! They are powerful.

Additionally, those who love freedom must separate now the voices of their compatriots, such as yours, from the voices of the cover up, such as Drudge. Americans trusted so-called conservatives with the truth about America’s problems -- attaching themselves to every word of criticism of Obama, the Clintons, the welfare society, the overt racism, the waves of illegal immigration, the union takeover of the school system and a dozen other anti-Left positions --who have deceived their followers by covering up the neocon agenda and the banker push for world government, including the war on Ukraine.

No issue this week so divides the American people as the US government’s role in attempting to secure Ukraine for the IMF banker empire.

Websites such as Drudge, ignoring the true events in east Ukraine, have proven their allegiance to the neocon agenda.

The overriding principle here is that the international bankers and heads of state such as Netanyahu stick with the money people (the Fed, EU and IMF). And the Jews such as Nuland and Kiev rabbis are using fake fear of the pro-Russians separtists as propaganda while all the while working with the neo-Nazis.

Israel Shamir points out that “as Mussolini was friendly to Jews and had a few Jewish ministers in his government… saying that ‘Jews are useful and friendly,’ modern neo-Nazis are friendly towards Jews, bankers and gays. The Norwegian killer Breivik is an exemplary sample of a Jew-friendly neo-Nazi. So are the Ukrainian and Russian neo-Nazis.

“While the original Bandera thugs killed every Jew (and Pole) that came their way, their modern heirs receive some valuable Jewish support. The oligarchs of Jewish origin (Kolomoysky, Pinchuk and Poroshenko) financed them, while a prominent Jewish leader, Chairman of the Association of Jewish Organizations and Communities of the Ukraine, Josef Zissels, supported them and justified them. There are many supporters of Bandera in Israel; they usually claim that Bandera was not an anti-Semite, as he had a Jewish doctor. (So did Hitler.) Jews do not mind Nazis who do not target them. The Russian neo-Nazis target Tajik gastarbeiters, and the Ukrainian neo-Nazis target Russian-speakers.”

You missed half of it. check the profile of the other director nominated, Devon Archer.

Mr. Archer served as a senior advisor to John Kerry during his 2004 Presidential Campaign and co-chaired the National Finance Committee. Mr. Archer is the General Partner and Chairman of Rosemont Realty which he founded together with Mr. Hunter Biden. He is also a Board Director of Burnham Financial and Wealth Assurance. Moreover, Mr. Archer is Director and Vice Chairman of Bohai Harvest RST, and is a Trustee for the Heinz Family Office

Thanks! Here’s more from Mollie Hemmingway who two days ago also noted that “In late April, around the time the vice president made an official trip to Ukraine, Burisma allegedly appointed Devon Archer, one of Hunter Biden’s business partners, to its board as well.

Asked Mollie in “9 Questions to Ask About Biden’s Work With a Gas Company in Ukraine" on The Federalist:

“Who is Devon Archer?

“Devon Archer is a wealthy investor and Democratic campaign bundler with long ties to the family of Secretary of State John Kerry. He was the college roommate of Christopher Heinz, Kerry’s stepson, and also served as co-chair of the national finance committee for Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign. According to a 2004 profile in the New York Observer:

Mr. Archer represents a new breed of fund-raiser. In this age, the person with the most connections, who collects contributions from the widest circle of friends and contacts, has become the new macher in party politics.

You could call Mr. Archer a “baby bundler,” a well-connected macher-in-training who has spent every free moment of the last two years tapping friends, family, business partners and even Republicans for contributions to the Kerry cause. Ever since the Massachusetts Senator announced his candidacy in 2003, the dimple-cheeked Mr. Archer has dedicated himself to hosting cocktail parties at old-boy hideaways like the University Club and the Links Club, attending weekly finance-committee pow-wows and dialing, dialing, dialing for dollars. He has coaxed as little as $50 from his friends and cajoled the maximum, $2,000, from his family and business associates. In the process, he has outpaced veteran bundlers more than twice his age and joining the finance committee alongside such finance gurus as Steven Rattner and Richard Holbrooke

Now his hard work is paying off, with the kind of convention access lowly Hill staffers can only dream of. He has a room at the Four Seasons Hotel, tickets to all the hot parties, access to the convention floor and face time with Mr. Kerry. The convention is his induction into the Democratic elite, and when the bunting comes down and the four-day Boston romp is done, there will be little doubt that Mr. Archer is the Democratic equivalent of a made man.

“According to his company’s web page, Archer also serves on the board of the Howard J. Heinz trust and as a trustee of the Heinz Family Office. Howard J. Heinz was the founder of Heinz foods.”

Mommas in America were discouraged in a song many years ago from letting their children grow up to be cowboys, it appears to have been a reasonable decision. Today after viewing the lifestyles associated with many career paths, politics and the route of so called "public service" seems to offer much potential.

A career in politics can grant you a lifestyle where you, and oftentimes your family will get to rub elbows with the ultra wealthy and the country's most powerful titans of business and industry. Sometimes even more flows from these relationships and they continue giving for years and years.

This career choice also has the benefit of sheltering you, and extending legal protection that covers you from the responsibilities of your actions. Flying about in private planes politicians are rewarded with generous pensions and superior healthcare benefits far outside the reach of the average citizen. More on this subject below.

Personally I do not envy Ukraine on this appointment.

It is hard to say whether they have really hired an "expert" or whether he is going to be a two way messenger or if he is just going to be reporting to Uncle Sam on what he sees and hears.

In any case, this sort of thing is natural at all levels of society and simply confirms what we already know.

The danger for this fellow is that he might get his head blown off because he is effectively entering the wild west (Ukraine).

I assume this is getting the coverage you'd expect in the MSM?

I checked out the Times earlier and didn't see a mention.  Imagine my surprise from the [['Benghazi and IRS targetting and the NDAA and torture and the end of posse comitatus and giving the NSA raw data to Israel which has, per fuckin' Newsweek {as kosher a mag as there is} "crossed a red line" in terms of spying on American corps and gov and mil]] doesn't matter paper of record.

Delaware incorporation for fraud is valuable service for the world in fact Quoting Lloyd B  "God's Work"  kinda tells you how behind the times Al CIA DUH  terrorist are. The elites have moved to Cook Islands away from Caymans, Cypress.....  There is no way the USA SEC  get any beneficial ownership from Delaware Corporations. Hunter Hunter Hunter pay in dollars would be appropriate.

Something about Hunter Biden's eyes that says bi-polar, and being Joe Biden's son says corrupt. No more logical than naked nuns riding unicorns.
