It all began with a shakedown in the summer of 2017, when Hunter Biden sent a message to his CEFC associate demanding a $10 million capital payment. As Hunter Biden extorted this associate, Hunter claimed he was sitting with his father and that the Biden network would turn on his associate if he didn’t pony up the money. The extortion scheme worked. Days later, $5,000,000 flowed in from a Chinese affiliate of CEFC. Over the following three weeks, Biden family members made a series of complicated financial transactions to hide the source of the China money. Here’s how that happened: First, Northern International Capital, a Chinese company associated with CEFC, wired $5,000,000 to Hudson West III, a joint venture established by Hunter Biden and a CEFC associate. Then, Hudson West III sent $400,000 to an entity owned and controlled by Hunter Biden. Next, Hunter Biden wired $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, a company owned by Joe Biden’s brother James and sister-in-law Sara Biden. Sara Biden then withdrew $50,000 in cash from Lion Hall Group. Later the same day, she deposited it into her and James Biden’s personal checking account. A few days later, Sara Biden cut a check to Joe Biden for $40,000. The memo line of the check said, “loan repayment.” We previously exposed a $200,000 payment James made to his brother Joe that came from funds provided by a now bankrupt health care company called Americore. Like the payment to Joe from Americore funds, it’s certainly plausible that this payment where James and Sara used funds from China was indeed a loan repayment to Joe. But even if this $40,000 check was a loan repayment from James Biden, it still shows how Joe benefited from his family cashing in on his name – with money from China no less. Without his family peddling his name and his son threatening a CEFC associate with consequences that he said Joe Biden knew about, James wouldn’t have had the money to write the $40,000 check to his brother Joe. It’s also worth remembering that Biden family efforts to secure millions from this Chinese company began when Joe Biden was still Vice President. 2 Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?

You were shown the graph that PROVES Canadian death rate from COVID was lower than the US. That is because of the VAX requirements that didn't exist HERE. You're like Goddess, who only reads the data to fit agenda and preconceptions. Why is Canada's Covid death rate so much lower than US? Quote Another set of statistics compiled by Johns Hopkins shows that as of 11 February, 279 US residents have died of Covid per 100,000, compared to about 94 in Canada. Vaccination rates and healthcare differences As of 9 February, 80% of Canada's population was fully immunised against Covid-19, along with another 5% that is partially vaccinated, meaning they had received at least one dose of a multi-dose vaccine. In the US, 64% of people are fully vaccinated and 12% partially vaccinated. Canada got off to a slow start, but had caught up to the US by mid July - when exactly half of the population in each country was fully vaccinated. Canada's vaccine take-up then surged ahead. The data suggests that helped save lives. While a third (34%) of the total US death toll has come in the seven months since, only about a quarter (26%) of Canada's Covid deaths have. 1 Quote

CdnFox Posted May 13, 2025 Report Posted May 13, 2025 Well as has been said we'll have to see the details of the deal. This kind of sounds like the British deal in the sense that they haven't actually reached a deal they've just reached the general broad terms and will negotiate the details later. Which would still be good news but it's not the same good news as an actual deal. Hopefully the terms will be favorable to both countries and an actual deal will follow shortly. This whole tariff nonsense has got to be put behind us. Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

gatomontes99 Posted May 13, 2025 Author Report Posted May 13, 2025 Obviously the details aren't finalized, but there is definitely a promising start here.

Yeah but so far none of those are actually in the deal. The reducing some of the tariffs on both sides but that's about it and that buys them sometimes to negotiate. Meanwhile those tariffs are still affecting the American economy Imagine it's the best they could do considering these are sensitive negotiations that aren't going to be resolved in 15 minutes, but I think it was a little premature to suggest that they had struck a deal. It's more like they struck a deal to start talking seriously about striking a deal. Still, any news is good news Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

That is because of the VAX requirements that didn't exist HERE. You're like Goddess, who only reads the data to fit agenda and preconceptions. Why is Canada's Covid death rate so much lower than US? Because of how different countries define a covid death, among other things. FYI a "covid death" isn't like a "cancer death" or a MVA death. It's not uncommon for cancer to be the sole cause of a death for an otherwise-healthy person, ditto for a motor-vehicle accident, whereas it's unheard of for covid to be the sole cause of the death of a healthy person. If an octogenarian with stage 4 cancer and diabetes coughed this morning, last week, or ten days ago, and then died at noon, does that qualify as a "covid death"? It depends where they lived, and how much pressure there was from the MSM and local politicians on the medical community, to record the death as being "from covid". But the answer is usually "yes". In NY State the governor was caught interfering in covid death accounting, and forcing care homes to take in people who were likely covid-positive and forbade them from being tested prior to going into the care homes. Maybe we didn't do that kind of thing here. <- and all of that stuff wasn't enough to get him fired. He was fired because he may have smacked a girl's bottom or smooched someone on the cheek at some point.
