From “Biden Has Money in the Bank and Blood on His Hands”:
It’s as simple as this:
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has the goods on Joe Biden. If he were to affirm what is already known, but denied by Democrats, the whole world — including corporate media — would pay attention. And that would be the end of Biden.
What is already known? That the Bidens reaped at least $10 million in bribes from Burisma, the huge Ukrainian oil producer, for access to U.S. officials and for arranging the firing of Ukraine’s attorney general, who was probing the corrupt dealings of Burisma.
Why is Zelenskyy holding back? Because as long as he holds back, and as long as Biden remains in the White House, the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine. With that support — hundreds of billions of dollars in arms and aid — Zelenskyy has been able to reject a peace offering from Russia and to prolong the war with Russia?
Now comes Dov Fischer, with this:
As 1985 approached, it devolved on me to produce the [Herut Zionists of America’s] largest-ever national convention. I reserved the hotel Pierre, hired the most exquisite kosher caterer in New York, assured we would have strong national representation in attendance, and lined up speakers like Israeli ambassador to America, Meir Rosenne, and my big coup: the charismatic Ariel Sharon, thanks to our personal friendship going back a few years. Next, my biggest task of all: get one Republican U.S. senator and one Democrat U.S. senator, each with impeccable pro-Israel credentials. The person assigned to get the Republican (my boss) flaked on me. I personally got the Democrat: the junior senator from Delaware, newly reelected to a second term, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
In those mid-1980s days, as I recall, a reasonable speaking honorarium included paying $5,000 plus airfare, a top-flight hotel, and all kinds of related living accoutrements. When I sealed the deal with Sen. Biden’s office, I was, frankly, relieved: I had secured a big name, up-coming star to speak at our convention. This reinforced HZA as a major player with Jewish newsmedia and in American Zionism.
And then I got a phone call from a Biden staffer in D.C. I do not remember his name. The quotes that follow are not precisely verbatim after 38 years, but I remember the gist incredibly well. I skip the phatic language and cut to the chase:
Staffer: The senator is looking forward to speaking to your group.
Me: Wonderful.
Staffer: I am calling about the senator’s $5,000 honorarium.
Me: Yes?
Staffer: The senator has a practice that he prefers not leaving a footprint or record of certain groups he has spoken for.
Me: I’m sorry. What does that mean?
Staffer: We are wondering: Many of the Zionist organizations have young people’s groups that are schooled in the groups’ ideologies and viewpoints. Do you have any?
Me: Yes, we have a teens group called Betar and a new college group called Tagar.
Staffer: OK. That college group: Do they have chapters on college campuses?
Me: I have just been launching the thing. We have a few so far.
Staffer: Do you have any of that college group’s chapters at a campus near the Pierre hotel where the senator will be speaking for your group?
Me: I think we may have one, maybe at NYU or a bit farther away at Brooklyn College.
Staffer: The senator would like to have his $5,000 honorarium paid by that college group of yours for a speech at the college chapter nearest the Pierre hotel.
Me: I don’t understand. Are you saying Sen. Biden would like to speak to our college group, too?
Staffer: No, the senator cannot fit that college group in his plans while he is in New York. He just wants the honorarium to be made to appear as though he spoke to them, not to Herut Zionists of America.
Me: Again, I apologize. I am new at all this. Are you asking me to falsify the source of payment for Sen. Biden’s honorarium?
Staffer: You are not falsifying anything. You are getting the speech you want by the senator you want for the price you agreed on. The senator is getting the $5,000 you agreed to pay him. It’s just a bookkeeping matter, to make it look like the college students are paying him for speaking at their campus instead of him speaking at the Pierre to your group. But, don’t worry, it will be your group that he speaks to.
It was a terrible lie. It was a young rabbi’s sharpest introduction to the world of lies and deceit that is Washington, D.C….
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is a crook. He is a liar. For nearly half a century, I have known first-hand he plays games with money: how he gets it, who gives it to him, how its source is disguised, how it later can be re-characterized if it is uncovered. If he finagled with me, how many other speaking honoraria has he camouflaged these past 38 years? And what else? Biden’s is a lifelong pattern of deceit. It is sleight of hand: scoop in the cash, but don’t leave crumbs, cover the tracks, let the curious and suspicious exhaust themselves on wild goose chases trying to find out how the money got from Point A to Point B to Point C to its ultimate destination at Point JRB (Jr.). It is part felony, part magic show. Nothing up his sleeve.
Fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma. The laptop a Russian ploy. Never talked to Hunter about his businesses. Buy a Hunter Biden painting….
If Joe Biden would go to that much trouble to cover-up and hide a purely legitimate every-day honorarium — reasonably priced for a U.S. senator at $5,000, paid by a significant organization that often hosted Israeli prime ministers and a distinguished constituent of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and negotiated with a rabbi then already somewhat prominent and listed in Who’s Who in American Jewry — to what lengths would he go to cover up tens of millions obtained wrongfully from sources in China, Ukraine, Russia, and G-d knows where else while leveraging his power as vice president of the United States, enriching his family while possibly compromising American national interests?
We may never know where the Biden family money is, or how they got it, or who remitted it, who cashed it, who transferred it, where it went, where it next went, where it went after that, where it is now, where it will be after this article is published — but Xi and Zelensky and Putin know “too much.” To what degree is Biden’s present foreign policy dictated by his consuming fear they will reveal what House investigators and bogus special counsel David Weiss cannot — or deliberately will not — unearth? Has Biden sent Ukraine more than $110 billion because that is in our national interest or as “hush money” to keep Zelensky quiet? Do we nevertheless send Ukraine significantly less than needed to beat Russia outright or to drive her back, assuring a never-ending faucet leak of tens of billions, because Biden needs to keep Putin quiet, too? And is our weak foreign policy toward China dictated by Biden’s need to keep Xi quiet?
Read the final paragraph again … and again. It says what I have believed (and said to correspondents) for many months.
