Peter Schweizer is an excellent researcher who has built
a solid body of work that, among other things, exposes corruption in America’s
political class. His most recent book, Red-Handed:
How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, is the most
sensational yet. The New
York Post has a long excerpt from Peter’s book relating to Joe Biden
and his family:
For those wondering why Joe Biden is soft on
China, consider this never-before-reported revelation: The Biden family has
done five deals in China totaling some $31 million arranged by individuals with
direct ties to Chinese intelligence — some reaching the very top of China’s spy
agency.
Indeed, every known deal that the Biden
family enjoyed with Beijing was reached courtesy of individuals with spy ties.
And Joe Biden personally benefited from his family’s foreign deals.
What are these deals? And who are the
individuals who made them happen for the Bidens?
Here, then, are a few key facts about the
Biden family’s $5 million-plus deals with individuals in bed with Chinese
intelligence.
The $31 million is not the gross amount of
the transactions, but rather the cut that went to the Bidens. I
won’t try to summarize all of the information, but this graphic is
a start.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, along with emails from other sources that emerged soon thereafter, have amply documented Joe Biden’s China-related corruption.
What is shocking is not so much the facts surrounding our
president’s corruption, but rather the fact that our corporate media have
closed ranks to prevent voters from learning about it. One gets tired of the
“If Joe Biden were a Republican…” mantra, but still: the point is indisputable.
Imagine if what we now know about Joe Biden’s entanglement with the Chinese
Communist Party had come out four years ago, not about Biden, but about Donald
Trump. It would have been the greatest scandal of the age, and Trump likely
would have been impeached.
But because our press is desperately trying to prop up
the failing Joe Biden, many Americans, perhaps most, will never learn about his
corrupt relationship with the Chinese Communists–even though our relationship
with China, our primary geopolitical rival, is one of the most important issues
facing our republic. Is Joe Biden corrupt? Absolutely. But is there an
institution that is even more corrupt? Yes: the American press.
Here is the good news: Red-Handed is currently the number one best-selling book on Amazon.
