First, I’ll defend my use of the term “treason” by simply asking you to suspend judgment until after you’ve read the NY Post piece.

In case you, like others, have wondered why John Kerry is an un-appointed, un-appropriated “czar” of anything with a broad remit to spend government money without reporting who he employs or where he goes, there is a history, and to my mind, that history illuminates the present.

I recall reading up on Bohai RST back in the day, and this article may have been my jumping-off point at the time.  I had dug around into filings and so forth, learning how to decode venture names (Rosemont = Kerry, Seneca and others = Biden, and so forth).  There was a passel of these “shady firms,” all cross-connected like the worst Japanese or Korean bank/stock scheme, enabling handy laundering of money with both legal and familial protections and commingling “above board.”

TREASON

This New York Post article dives into the China/Biden/Kerry venture as it sat in 2018, tracing significant China involvement to a 2013 VP Biden trip to China, accompanied by Hunter.  Given what we always suspected and now know about exactly what was purchased with all that Chinese money, there’s no way this isn’t treason:

Hunter and [Daughter] Finnegan Biden joined the vice president for tea with US Ambassador Gary Locke at the Liu Xian Guan Teahouse in the Dongcheng District in Beijing. Where Hunter Biden spent the rest of his time on the trip remains largely a mystery. There are actually more reports of his daughter Finnegan’s activities than his.

What was not reported was the deal that Hunter was securing. Rosemont Seneca Partners had been negotiating an exclusive deal with Chinese officials, which they signed approximately 10 days after Hunter visited China with his father. The most powerful financial institution in China, the government’s Bank of China, was setting up a joint venture with Rosemont Seneca.

The Bank of China is an enormously powerful financial institution. But the Bank of China is very different from the Bank of America. The Bank of China is government-owned, which means that its role as a bank blurs into its role as a tool of the government. The Bank of China provides capital for “China’s economic statecraft,” as scholar James Reilly puts it. Bank loans and deals often occur within the context of a government goal.

Rosemont Seneca and the Bank of China created a $1 billion investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), a name that reflected who was involved. Bohai (or Bo Hai), the innermost gulf of the Yellow Sea, was a reference to the Chinese stake in the company. The “RS” referred to Rosemont Seneca. The “T” was Thornton [detailed in the article].

The bolded portion above is one of the dominant considerations to keep in mind when looking at any of this.  There is no such thing as a private venture in China, and this BHR thing must be one of the least private structures ever.  To do business in China, a venture must ally with a Chinese outfit, and is subject to all of China’s domestic reporting laws, which are not like US domestic laws.  All records must be available to the Chinese Communist government, any decision can be reviewed by the ChiComs, and at any rate, any Chinese “citizen” is at all times subject to commands to carry out espionage at home or abroad.  Even ethnic Chinese in the US can be blackmailed into working for the ChiComs with explicit government threats of reduction or harm to family members in China.  This is why China maintains a vast network of literal secret police stations around the world.

The Bank of China, explicitly an arm of the Chinese government, is a partner in the Biden scheme.

From the same article, and greatly foreshortened:

In 2015, BHR joined forces with the automotive subsidiary of the Chinese state-owned military aviation contractor Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) to buy American “dual-use” parts manufacturer Henniges.

AVIC is a major military contractor in China. It operates “under the direct control of the State Council” and produces a wide array of fighter and bomber aircraft, transports, and drones — primarily designed to compete with the United States.

[… Steals US tech including F-35 secrets…]

and

In September 2015, when AVIC bought 51 percent of American precision-parts manufacturer Henniges, the other 49 percent was purchased by the Biden-and-Kerry-linked BHR.

Henniges is recognized as a world leader in anti-vibration technologies [ … “dual-use”, requiring approval from CFIUS, driven by State Department (Kerry!) approval …]

The deal was approved in 2015.

While Biden was VP, Kerry’s State Department approved Kerry and Biden’s partnership with the Chinese government to buy out US military suppliers and their IP.  And Obama wasn’t clean — he was just smart enough “not to use the phone,” as they say.

FORGOTTEN

Remember recent questions about why Hunter Biden accompanied his father on VP trips to China and what he was doing there?  We’ve known for years.  Yet somehow we’ve been rolled back to merely asking the question, despite clear reporting from years ago.

“But we haven’t forgotten about China and the Bidens!”  Well, we sure seem to have forgotten.  As interest rightly grows (once again) regarding the Bidens and their Ukraine and Russia dealings, so we seem to have reduced scope to only those things connected directly to the war in Ukraine.  But Ukraine is only a particular malignancy of the larger Clinton/Obama/Biden corruption issue method, which has plagued us in the open for twenty years.  Even before then, in relative quiet,  Al Gore’s ham-fisted foreign fundraising from some ostensibly American Buddhist cash-bundling group (remember that?) raised eyebrows and alarms, and President Clinton’s release of Loral missile-guidance technology to the ChiComs was much-derided as treason at the time by the crazies of a “vast right-wing conspiracy”.

Time passes and the Alinskyite saturation offense has ways to make things disappear.  First is the always-on push to dangle new shiny objects in front of the eager media and its forgetful audience.  For each item, there is a well-known four-step plan for dealing with adverse publicity:

1) that’s nothing and you’re crazy
2) it’s not what you think and you’re crazy
3) no comment due to the “investigation” (cover-up) and you’re crazy
4) that’s old news, asked and answered, and you’re crazy

We do not forget so much as we are browbeaten into silence.  What’s the point of talking about it, right?  We’ll just be called crazy.

Dimly, we remember.  Perhaps nothing presented here will be news to you.  I picture most at Ricochet saying “Ah yes, this was a real issue back then.  What happened?”  Perhaps this is new to you — I would be interested in responses pointing out which parts were news to you through this post.

There’s more, much more, and I’ll simply provide a selection of interesting links:

From Fox News, 18 August 2023:

Hunter Biden-tied siblings could shed light on relationship between Rosemont Seneca and VP Biden’s office

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hunter-biden-tied-siblings-could-shed-light-relationship-between-rosemont-seneca-vp-bidens-office

A brother and sister who previously served as aides to then-Vice President Biden and have longstanding ties to Hunter Biden could be key witnesses if they were called to testify in the ongoing congressional investigations into the first family’s finances due to their intimate knowledge of the inner workings of Hunter’s firm and the VP’s office.

Anne Marie (Person) Muldoon and Francis “Fran” Person, who worked for Joe Biden for nearly a decade dating back to 2006, kept in frequent contact with Hunter Biden and Eric Schwerin, the then-president of Hunter’s now-dissolved investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners, during their Obama-Biden administration roles using their government emails, Fox News Digital previously reported.

Both siblings also served in the White House for VP Biden at the same time for a short period in 2014 until Fran left.

Bonus Round:  Eric Schwerin, Devon Archer, Bo Zhang, Fran Person, Anne Person, Harves=Harvest?, Bo Zhang (Hainan) = BoHai? (obvious ref to gulf of Bohai, China’s internal sea)…  Finger Lakes (Lake Seneca, e.g.,)… and so forth.
