Obama: "America Has Few Economic Interests In Ukraine"... And This Very Big One

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As part of his UN speech seeking to restore a crumbling Pax Americana, president Obama, eager to cover up US involvement in the Ukraine presidential coup of early 2014 (who can forget Victoria Nuland "strategy" interception in which she laid out the post-coup lay of the land, while saying to "fuck the EU"), just said that "America has few economic interest in Ukraine."

Few, perhaps, but quite substantial.

Presenting exhibit A, from May 2014, just weeks after the Ukraine presidential coup was complete, the press release from Burisma Holdings, one of the largest private gas producers in Ukraine.

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.

AERODYNAMIC (1949-70)

CIA project AERODYNAMIC (formerly CARTEL, ANDROGEN, AECARTHAGE) (1949-70) consisted in CIA support for the Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council (ZP/UHVR), a Ukrainian émigré organization, which was established in 1949. ZP/UHVR's operational activity concentrated on propaganda and contact operations. CIA helped to establish in New York City the Prolog Research and Publishing Inc. in 1953 as ZP/UHVR's publishing and research arm. Prolog, through an affiliate in Munich, the so-called Ukrainian Society for Foreign Studies (QRTERRACE, AETERRACE), published periodicals and selected books and pamphlets which sought to exploit and increase nationalist and other dissident tendencies in the Soviet Ukraine.
 
In 1970, AERODYNAMIC was redesignated QRPLUMB. More than 3000 CIA files regarding AERODYNAMIC have been declassified so far, amongst them AERODYNAMIC Development and Plans (Vol. 1-8), Operations (Vol. 9-41), and Contact Reports (Vol. 42-47). Yaroslav Fedyk, Ivan Hrinioch, Mykola Lebed, Yury Lopatinsky, Lyubomir Ortinskiy were associated with the Project. Roman Tymewycz was a clerical employee in a Branch Office of Project AERODYNAMIC.

I don't see Crimea going back to Ukraine though.

Since the discussion is now  academic (Crimea is not leaving Russia unless Russia itself is destroyed),  I will be brief.

Kolomoysky is the president of a European Jewish Group, and active in Chabad.  He was promoting Crimea as an alternate jewish homeland until Crimea rejoined Russia. Kolomoysky then lost his real estate holdings, and Chabad the ability to dominate the Crimea.

Actually, there was a Russia - EU - Ukraine meeting like last week. The outcome was the EU would pass a hat around and collect 1 billion Euros to pay for Russian gas deliveries to Ukraine. Basically to pay Ukraine not to steal gas meant for the EU out the transit lines.  I guess EU would like to keep warm this winter :)

You forgot to mention that Devon Archer, who is John Kerry's step-son's (Christopher Heinz) former college roommate and Hunter's business crony was appointed to Burisma board last year. John Kerry is married to Theresa Heinz. Archer (who was also a Kerry campaign bundler) and Heinz were cofounders of Rosemont Seneca. Hunter was managing  partner for Rosemont Seneca. Through poor judgement, Rosemont Seneca got involved with some criminals. Hunter and his uncle, James Biden, also took over Paradigm, partnering with James Park, son-in-law of Sun Myoung Moon, who he accused of being an absent manager and drug addict (rich, considering his own drug use), which was a fund of funds marketed exclusively by one of Ponzi criminal R. Allen Stanford's companies.  It is one connected hotbed of influence peddling. Biden was in the Ukraine the day befor the Archer appointment to Burisma was announced. He went to Cyprus, where Burisma is registered the following week. Considering these individuals disastrous judgement during the Rosemont Seneca operation, and considering who runs Burisma, there should be no surprise here.

Yes, and No.  This is actually bizarre and amateurish, like the allegations of Cankles walking off with the White Hut silver.  In my decade in investment banking advisory I looked at over a hundred deals that involved the sibling, child, or in law of a Head of State/Government (it was one of our niches).  In addition to the additional due diligence, specifically conflict of interest resolution, one of the paramount concerns is always- don't embarrass the big guy.  

In NOT ONE of those deals did we EVER seriously consider placing such a person on a board of directors or senior executive position.  In addition to the horrible external optics, there are internal practical considerations, like what could the spawn of Bite-Me possibly professionally contribute to the management of an energy company?  Is the spawn of Bite-Me such a destitute lower class bum that he needs a few hundred thousand dollars a year?  Is the spawn of Bite-Me such as an impotent hack, that he cannot influence others as needed without a fancy job title?

In short, this makes spawn of Biden, and Burisma appear to be anything but serious players, and reflects very poorly on the Senator from MBNA.  If spawn of Biden wants to be successful in the influence business... I think he should beg Soros for an internship as his personal turd polisher, he might learn something (other than what the turds of the spawn of Satan taste like).

I would like to give him a break, but the fact that he is in the Ukraine apparently doing dirty work makes me think that he is just a tool who is in a position way above his abilty ... so that he will do exactly what he has been told to do. Likely there is no other way he would be anywhere close to that position.

The coming Color Revolution chaos and ‘Media Crimea’ in Kyrgyzstan

http://orientalreview.org/2015/03/06/the-coming-color-revolution-chaos-a...

"During the 2010 riots, an anti-Semitic poster, blaming government malfeasance on prominent Kyrgyz and on foreign Jews, was displayed near the presidential White House. This was in addition to the attacks on the synagogue. A government investigation — prompted by a meeting between Raichman and the chief of presidential administration, Emilbek Kaptagaev — later blamed Islamic fundamentalists, not political protesters. Then in June, Osh, an ancient Silk Road city 400 miles south of Bishkek, experienced vicious ethnic violence between Kyrgyz and the town’s majority Uzbek population. At the time, the Jewish Agency for Israel reported that 60 families nationwide were preparing to make aliyah."

...
http://forward.com/news/137397/in-remote-kyrgyzstan-jews-secure-ties-wit...

"There have been few cases of anti-Semitism in Kyrgyzstan's post-Soviet history and the country's 1,500-strong Jewish community has coexisted peacefully in the capital Bishkek with its predominantly Muslim population.

Bishkek residents have themselves been puzzled and linked the sudden acts of anti-Semitism to some people's aversion to the business partners of Bakiyev's son, Maxim. At least one of them is Jewish.

Anti-Semitic posters have sprung up around the capital, they said. One poster that appeared outside the presidential White House after the night of fighting stated: "Dirty Jews and all those like Maxim Bakiyev have no place in Kyrgyzstan." "

"George Soros has long called for the West to pump billions into Ukraine. Now he says he's ready to walk the talk.

The veteran hedge fund investor told an Austrian newspaper he was prepared to invest $1 billion in the collapsing war-ravaged economy under certain circumstances.

"There are concrete investment ideas, for example in agriculture and infrastructure projects. I would put in $1 billion," he told Der Standard. "This must generate a profit. My foundation would benefit from this, not me personally."

The Hungarian-born billionaire said Europe and the U.S. must show strong political leadership over Ukraine -- that would make it more attractive to private investors. The West could provide finance at European interest rates close to zero, for example.

A spokesman for Soros said his investment would depend on the West doing "whatever it takes" to rescue Ukraine."

So, I'm following the UN speeches today from this link. They are updating as the event progresses.

This is one of the updates.

16.15

Meanwhile, Russia's internet is anticipating Vladimir Putin's speech with something approaching barely contained glee, writes Roland Oliphant in Moscow.

Putin supporters are blitzing Twitter with the hashtag "#PutinPeacemaker" along with cartoons of him outwitting, overpowering, and morally upstaging various Western leaders.

Hyperbole probably reached a peak with RenTV's curtain raising headline this afternoon: "Vladimir Putin preparing a speech that will change the world."

The update is accompanied by some pictures posted on Twitter by a journalist. When you see his current assignment, it's no wonder he is on the Putin bashing squad.

Particularly after going into Libya as Emperor.

Assad is the lawful ruler, apparently open to reforms, he's the least worst option, and Syria is *not* in a civil war anymore.

It's an invasion by foreign takfiri mercenaries, mostly - the native Syrians who still at this point are siding with Nusra and ISIL against the government are traitors.

Of course, the NYT and establishment media has deliberately lied for years, as they have in the past [Viet Name, Iraq, etc.] - but these fucking people never learn.

Actually I think the "dead man switch" title goes to Lance Link after this speech!...

I'm just wondering how the Russian delegation and more importantly Putin is going to keep from making this UN visit a "roast"?!!!

“If we cannot work together more effectively, we will all suffer the consequences"...

"Yes we can" ALL suffer the consequences of my apocalyptic decisions!!!!

Actually Tyler this quote should have gotten top billing and not the picture of the "Ensign Cocaine"!

When you know your leader is completely and totally out of his mind and more importantly the Country that elected him twice just sits back and doesnothing to stop him and his military!!!

Don't forget CALPERS has direct investments through hedge funds as well as Franklin Templeton, in fact from the public look of things..... I'd say CALPERS is the lead creditor.

This one has pissed me off since the first time I read about it (here on ZH, of course).

That photo makes me want to punch him in the face.

I assume these interests are cocaine since they sent joe Biden cokehead son to the Ukraine after he was kicked out of the U.S. Navy for being a cocaine abusing coke head. Is that the interest?

All of it actually does not matter because the Russians will cut out the gas delivery to the Europe via Ukraine in 2019. Who is the winner? Germany. And nordstream 2.

Reserves in the black sea close to the Crimean and reserves in the east Ukraine (require fracking) are said to be substantial. The annexations were likely motivated by the desire to thwart US fracking in this area since the ressources would be sold in competition to Russia on the european market.

Maybe. Though there might be a bigger picture. Hurting Russia by cutting the european customers off might be the major reason for the US involvements in Ukraine, Iraq and Syria. Cream on top would be then to substitute russian ressources by fracking oil and gas produced by Mr. Biden in the east Ukraine or by gas from Quatar which would need a pipeline through Syria to arrive at Turkey.

Out of it 7 tonnes is unaccounted for and 33 tonnes was sold to Iraq but it never reached there.

The cash as well as gold both are with pirate America , double benefit.

CabalA$$LickerHomObamma says that there is not much left in the dungeon , now the pirate america will focus on another dungeon (developing country)
