[...]
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”.

Now this is reported today:

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/03/ted-cruz-ukraine-crimea-russia-104247.html


Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) preferred plan for Ukraine: let the market fix it.

The Texas Republican wouldn’t commit to voting for aid for the country fending off Russian President Vladimir Putin’s army — or say whether there would need to be a financial offset to get his support — but argued that neither this nor conservative calls for military exercises are the right approach.

Instead, Cruz argued for immediately passing a new free trade treaty with Ukraine and “looking at existing treaties between the United States and Russia, and considering abrogating those treaties.”

“More important than aid is expanding economic trade — expanding mutually beneficial commerce, helping open the door for energy to flow to Ukraine in the private market,” Cruz said, speaking exclusively to POLITICO after addressing AIPAC’s Texas delegation Tuesday afternoon.




Isn't that just convenient!

Sorry, I'm a little slow trying to connect the dots.

Here's what I think I know. Would love feedback/comments/clarifications.

1. Russia is the world's largest energy exporter, supplying most of western Europe's natural gas via a pipeline through Ukraine, esp. Crimea.
2. The USA has huge natural gas deposits and is looking for customers.
2a. US does something to provoke Russia??
3. Russia moves to annex part or all of Ukraine, incl. Crimea, who votes to join Russia.
4. In response to Russia's move, US & Europe put sanctions on Russia.
5. Rand Paul recommends Europe buy natural gas from the US.
6. Biden's son joins board of Ukraine's largest nat. gas producer. Presumably this helps pave the way for US suppliers?
7. Ted Cruz calls for new trade agreement with Ukraine.

So in the end, did Russia play into our hands, or did we instigate the hostilities between Ukraine & Russia to provoke the Russian response and thus pave the way for sanctions, and our ultimate ability to enter the nat. gas market in Europe?

What are y'all seeing that I'm not?

Stanford Had Links to a Fund Run by Bidens

By Susan Schmidt,
Steve Stecklow and
John R. Emshwiller
Updated Feb. 24, 2009 12:01 a.m. ET


A fund of hedge funds run by two members of Vice President Joe Biden's family was marketed exclusively by companies controlled by Texas financier R. Allen Stanford, who is facing Securities and Exchange Commission accusations of engaging in an $8 billion fraud.

The $50 million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens' Paradigm Global Advisors LLC and a Stanford Financial Group entity and was known as the Paradigm Stanford Capital Management Core Alternative Fund. Stanford-related companies marketed the fund to investors and also invested about $2.7 million of their own money in the fund, according to a lawyer for Paradigm. Paradigm Global Advisors is owned through a holding company by the vice president's son, Hunter, and Joe Biden's brother, James.

The fund has offered to turn over the $2.7 million investment it received from Mr. Stanford's firm in 2007 to a court-appointed receiver in the SEC's civil fraud case involving Mr. Stanford, according to Paradigm's attorney, Marc X. LoPresti. The fund terminated its relationship with Mr. Stanford's companies after the SEC filed civil charges against them last week, Mr. LoPresti said.

Mr. LoPresti, who represents Hunter and James Biden, as well as Paradigm, said he didn't know which Stanford entity invested the roughly $2.7 million. He said the Bidens never met or communicated with Mr. Stanford.
"There is no connection between the Bidens and Allen Stanford or Stanford period, full stop," he said. "There never was any meeting between any member of the Biden family, no phone calls, zero correspondence."
The vice president's office had no comment.

Brzezinski delved into the importance of little known Ukraine by explaining in his 1997 book, “Geopolitical pivots are the states whose importance is derived not from their power and motivation but rather from their sensitive location… which in some cases gives them a special role in either defining access to important areas or in denying resources to a significant player.”

“Ukraine, Azerbaijan, South Korea, Turkey and Iran play the role of critically important geopolitical pivots,” he wrote in The Grand Chessboard, a book viewed by many as a blueprint for US world domination.

White House On Biden's Son Joining Ukraine Gas Giant - No Ethical Issues Here
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-05-14/white-house-bidens-son-joining-ukraine-gas-giant-no-ethical-issues-here


Yesterday we were the first to report that none other than Vice President Joe Biden's son was joining the board of Ukraine's largest gas producer. It appears to have signaled peak crony capitalist as the new went viral with almost complete disdain. There was one defender though... as The Washington Examiner reports, The White House brushed off questions about any ethical issues as Jay Carney snapped "Hunter Biden and other members of the Biden family are obviously private citizens, and where they work does not reflect an endorsement by the administration or by the vice-president or president."

Furthermore, State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki also responded bluntly to the questions, saying only that Hunter Biden is a private citizen... and when pressed on the fact that Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs - who have been sanctioned and vilified by the US and Europe - were also private citizens she dismissed any concerns...
[vid]
In other words.. nothing to see here move along and go about your business, people of America...

Perhaps Curtis Ellis, executive director at American Jobs Alliance, summed it up best...


...it is a typical Washington politics to exploit a foreign crisis for personal gain.

“The US … are trying to portray in the most altruistic and platonic fashion possible. However, it is very difficult to disentangle business interests from national interests,” he said.

US gas will be a lot more expensive than the gas from Russia and even then it would take at least 4+ years to start flowing.Even the EU admitted that LNG from the USA is not even an option. On top of everything the Chinese,Japan and the rest of Asia pay a higher price than Europe and if Russia`s gas starts flowing towards China instead of the EU you will see a lot of dissent if not even dissolution of the EU.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-07-25/company-which-joe-bidens-son-director-prepares-drill-shale-gas-east-ukraine


Recall what we said earlier today: the proxy Ukraine war just like that in Syria preceding it, "is all about energy."

Recall also the following chart showing Ukraine's shale gas deposits, keeping in mind that the Dnieper-Donets basin which lies in the hotly contested eastern part of the nation and where as everyone knows by now a bloody civil war is raging, is the major oil and gas producing region of Ukraine accounting for approximately 90 per cent of Ukrainian production and according to EIA may have 42 tcf of shale gas resources technically recoverable from 197 tcf of risked shale gas in place.
[...]
Finally, recall our story from May that Joe Biden's son, Hunter, just joined the board of the largest Ukraine gas producer Burisma Holdings.
[...]
Now put it all together and what happens next should be rather clear.

* * *

Still confused? It's very simple, really.

In a nutshell Ukraine (or rather its puppetmasters) has decided to let no crisis (staged or otherwise) or rather civil war, go to waste, and while the fighting rages all around, Ukrainian troopers are helping to install shale gas production equipment near the east Ukrainian town of Slavyansk, which was bombed and shelled for the three preceding months, according to local residents cited by Itar Tass. The reason for the scramble? Under peacetime, the process was expected to take many years, during which Europe would be under the energy dictatorship of Putin. But throw in some civil war and few will notice let alone care that a process which was expected to take nearly a decade if not longer while dealing with broad popular objections to fracking, may instead be completed in months!
[...]
Not only them but also all-important Germany, which two weeks ago announced it would halt shale-gas drilling for the next seven years over groundwater pollution concerns.

Which clearly makes Ukraine, potentially the last place with massive shale gas deposits and no drilling ban, quite valuable to those who want to develop a major source of shale gas, one which reduces Europe's reliance on Russian gas even more, yet one whose future depends on one simple question: who controls East Ukraine?

Because what better way to accelerate "next steps" than to start drilling for gas in the middle of the Donetsk republic as a civil war is waging in all directions, and where public mood has shifted decidedly against the local "separatists" in the aftermath of the MH-17 tragedy.

The punchline: who will develop the gas field in conjunction with Shell (jointly owned by the Netherlands and the UK: the two countries that loathe Putin the most in the aftermath of the MH-17 disaster) which in May 2012 announced a tender for the right to develop the Yuzovka shale gas deposit?


Burisma, Ukraine’s oil and gas production holdings, also has the right to develop the shale gas fields in the Dnieper-Donetsk basin of Eastern Ukraine. The same Burisma where R. Hunter Biden, Joseph's son, was appointed a director two months ago.

Top Romney Adviser Worked With Hunter Biden On Board Of Ukrainian Energy Company

SEPTEMBER 26, 2019 By Erielle Davidson

As Democrats and the media remain fanatically obsessed with assembling some form of a “quid pro quo” from the infamous Trump-Zelensky phone call, new details have emerged regarding Burisma, the company for which Hunter Biden worked and the company that Ukraine’s top prosecutor had been investigating before Vice President Joe Biden had the prosecutor fired via a months-long pressure campaign. According to web archives, top Mitt Romney adviser Joseph Cofer Black, who publicly goes by “Cofer Black,” joined Burisma’s board of directors while Hunter Biden was also serving on the board.

According to The New Yorker, Hunter joined Burisma’s board in April of 2014 and remained on it until he declined to renew his position this past May. Meanwhile, according to Burisma’s website, Black was appointed in February of 2017 and continues to serve on its board. The timelines would indicate that Black and Biden worked together at Burisma, and indeed, web archives from late 2017 show Black and Biden listed simultaneously on the board.

Black joined the CIA in 1974 and eventually climbed the ranks to become director of the National Counterterrorism Center from 1999 to 2002. In 2002, President George W. Bush appointed him ambassador at large and coordinator for counterterrorism. He later worked at Blackwater as a vice chairman before joining Romney’s campaign as a “special adviser” on Romney’s Foreign Policy and National Security Advisory Team in October of 2011. In 2017, Black joined the board of Burisma.

It’s looking increasingly probable that Burisma, the subject of a series of corruption allegations in the past, has been smartly buying Western complacency by slapping a few famous names on its board. In addition to the son of a vice president and a special adviser to a GOP presidential candidate, the board also boasts the former president of Poland from 1995 to 2005, Aleksander Kwaśniewski.

I agree that this is really a big FARCE - impeaching Trump to make him more popular, while drawing attention to Joe Biden's son Hunter controversial board membership of Burisma.

Cofer Black left the CIA in 2006 to join the Blackwater of Erik Prince, the brother of Trump´s education secretary, Betsy DeVos.

On 10 September, John Bolton was fired or he resigned as Trump´s National Security Advisor.
He was replaced by lawyer Robert O’Brien, who was chosen in 2005 by George W. Bush as deputy of ambassador at the UN John Bolton.

O’Brien was a senior adviser on the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns of fellow Mormon, Senator Mitt Romney, who has known O’Brien for more than 15 years: https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-09-18/robert-obrien-is-an-unlikely-pick-for-trumps-national-security-advisor

02/22/2017

Former Director of CIA’s Counterterrorist Center joined Burisma’s board, and he will help to expand the company’s global presence.

Burisma Group, an independent oil and gas company with operations in Ukraine, announced that Joseph Cofer Black will join the company’s board of directors. Joseph Cofer Black’s past experience includes: Director of CIA’s Counterterrorist Center between 1999 and 2002, and Ambassador at Large for Counter-Terrorism between 2002 and 2004. With such a strong background, Mr. Black will be leading the company’s security and strategic development efforts.

According to President of Burisma Group Nikolay Zlochevskyi, “We are excited that Mr. Black has agreed to serve as a member of Burisma’s Board...Burisma is expanding into new and emerging markets and is actively pursuing global energy projects.”

Here’s a look at Joseph Cofer Black’s profile, depicting why he would be a great fit for Burisma’s security and strategic development efforts in different countries. Black is well recognized across the globe for his work in counterterrorism, cybersecurity, foreign affairs, national security, as well as experience in international business development and strategies.

After three decades serving the public up until 2005, Black moved to the private sector to guide companies to protect against security threats, as well as provide guidance on strategic expansion in countries with high barriers of entry. Black has also worked with several international companies and provided advice regarding strategic business development and various areas of risks.

That being said, Joseph Cofer Black is sure to provide Burisma with guidance in multiple areas, and consequently, it will allow the company to strategically expand and develop its business, while increasing its security measures.

Black Will Be A Valuable Addition To Burisma’s Board

Mr. Black stated “I was impressed to learn that Burisma Group is the fastest-growing private gas producer in Central Europe. International projects where the Group is involved require a more thorough analysis and risk assessment, not only in terms of conventional risks - financial or political but also in terms of security.”

Additionally, Mr. Black knows the difficulties in today’s time as more companies move to information technologies. Leveraging the knowledge of Joseph Cofer Black, Burisma would be able to deal with and prevent potential cybersecurity threats and other related risks. In turn, this will save the company a great deal of money over time. Moreover, Black has experience in a plethora of countries across the globe, which would help Burisma in expanding its business.

Black went on to say, “Knowing all too well the energy and security challenges Ukraine has had to manage, I am pleased to join the Board of a privately held company that has been continuously working to ensure Ukraine’s energy security. Burisma should be proud of its contributions to Ukraine’s economy through its investments in production, job creation and expansion and its tax payments to the state.”

The White House shot down any notion of a conflict of interest with Hunter Biden's appointment. In a statement provided to Business Insider, Joe Biden spokesperson Kendra Barkoff said Hunter's appointment did not constitute an endorsement by the vice president.

"Hunter Biden is a private citizen and a lawyer. The Vice President does not endorse any particular company and has no involvement with this company," Barkoff said. "For any additional questions, I refer you to Hunter’s office."
