Should biolabs be allowed to operate in other countries that are funded by the U.S. Department of Defense to carry out biowarfare research?
Here's an article from the Business Standard March 24, 2022 that brings out the supervisory role in Ukraine of the Los Alamos research facility in the U.S. Fund led by Biden's son involved in financing biolabs in Ukraine: Russia At the same time, the scientific curator is the US nuclear center at Los Alamos Russia on Thursday said that the investment fund Rosemont Seneca led by Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, is involved in financing the Pentagon's military biological programme in Ukraine.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID), the George Soros Foundation, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also provide financial support to the Pentagon programme, the Russian Defense Ministry added, RT reported. At the same time, the scientific curator is the US nuclear center at Los Alamos.
"The incoming materials allow us to trace the scheme of interaction between US government agencies and Ukrainian biological objects. Attention is drawn to the involvement in the financing of these activities of structures close to the current US leadership, in particular the Rosemont Seneca investment fund, which is headed by Hunter Biden," said Lt General Igor Kirillov, head of the radiation, chemical and biological defence forces of the Russian Armed Forces, RT reported. According to him, the fund has resources in the amount of at least $2.4 billion.
"At the same time, the fund has a close relationship with the main contractors of the US military department, including Metabiota, which, along with Black and Veach, is the main supplier of equipment for Pentagon biolabs around the world," he added.
Kirillov said that the Los Alamos nuclear center, where the first American atomic bomb was developed, was one of the scientific curators of the Pentagon's military biological program in Ukraine. "The scale of the program is impressive. In addition to the military department, the US Agency for International Development, the George Soros Foundation, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention are directly involved in its implementation. Scientific curation is carried out by leading research organisations, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which develops nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project," he said. business-standard.com/article/international/fund-led-by-biden-s-son-involved-in-financing-biolabs-in-ukraine-russia-122032401368_1.html
Wikipedia wiped out the entry on Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca. Last Updated: 24th April, 2022 13:45 IST “Wikipedia Removes Hunter Biden's Financial Firm Rosemont Seneca Partners' Entry”
Earlier this week, Wikipedia removed an entry on Hunter Biden's investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners, as the firm has been at the centre of inquiries. Written By Rohit Ranjan Earlier this week, Wikipedia removed the entry on Hunter Biden's investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners. This comes as Hunter Biden's investment firm has been at the centre of various inquiries about his offshore business operations.
As per a report by New York Post, a Wikipedia editor named Alex stated that this organisation is only discussed in connection with its famous founders, Hunter Biden and Christopher Heinz, adding that "keeping it around" risked the page becoming a magnet for Hunter Biden conspiracy theories.
The deletion took place on Wednesday. US President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden has been in the middle of controversy ever since the news came out that his Rosemont Seneca financed the Pentagon’s military biological program in Ukraine, according to The Washington Post.
The brief page of the firm was thin on details, and in bad need of an overhaul, but did provide information about the company’s founding by Hunter Biden, Devon Archer and Chris Heinz. Co-founder of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger, claims the site can no longer be trusted and has devolved into "propaganda."
Last year, he stated that behind the scenes, there is a vast, nasty, intricate game being played to make the piece say what someone wants it to say. However, the removal of the page was criticized by some as they stated that removing the Wikipedia page of Rosemont shows a double standard.
Curtis Houck, who is the Managing Editor of the Media Research Center stated that it's more than a safe bet that several media organisations would dedicate many reporters to following the internet trail if a Trump-linked company or one from the Russia probe had its Wikipedia page wiped.
In 2009, Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden and John Kerry's stepson Christopher Heinz, founded Rosemont Seneca Partners, a private equity business, with a friend Devon Archer. The three formed a group of related limited liability companies (LLCs). It was linked to the Heinz family's alternative investment firm. An email obtained as part of a Securities and Exchange Commission probe suggests that Rosemont described itself as a $2.4 billion private equity firm co-owned by Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz, with Devon Archer as "Managing Partner." republicworld.com/world-news/us-news/wikipedia-removes-hunter-bidens-financial-firm-rosemont-seneca-partners-entry-articleshow.html
Hunter Biden is renting a mansion in Hollywood Hills for $12,000 a month. I'd say he's still a pretty high flier, despite all the scandal. Where he should be is in prison for the rest of his life, in my opinion. dirt.com/more-dirt/lawyers/hunter-biden-house-los-angeles-1203306242
What will happen with the legal investigation into Hunter Biden’s activities, given that his father is currently president of the U.S.?
This is the LinkedIn entry for Hunter Biden. Lots of good information to research further here. He’s hiding in plain sight under the name of R. Hunter. I found him by searching LinkedIn for Rosemont Seneca Partners. There were three entries, this one among them. I’ve corroborated that it’s accurate because the colleges and dates of his enrollments correspond to his Wikipedia entry.

Here's an article from the Financial Times, with more information on Hunter Biden's financial interests:
Hunter Biden’s web of interests His ties span the globe and raise questions about the overlap of business and politics Hunter Biden
Hunter Biden’s business interests often show up in unexpected places. Now, they are at the centre of the biggest political crisis of the Trump presidency and the fourth impeachment inquiry in US history. The son of Joe Biden, former vice-president and 2020 presidential candidate, Hunter Biden’s business ties are under scrutiny after Donald Trump leaned on the president of Ukraine to investigate his activities in the country.
Mr Trump has also publicly called on China to investigate the Bidens. The Ukraine revelations have led House Democrats to open an impeachment inquiry against the president, but the nature of Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine, China and further afield raise questions about potential conflicts of interest while his father was in office. The Bidens have denied any wrongdoing.

Biden's youngest son Hunter is joining the Navy. The Navy says the attorney and former Washington lobbyist was selected to be commissioned into the Navy Reserve as a public affairs officer. Because he is 42, he needed a special waiver to be accepted, but that is not uncommon. He is one of seven candidates recommended for a direct commission for public affairs.

Here, the Financial Times examines Hunter Biden’s business ties at home and abroad: Burisma Holdings NATURAL GAS | UKRAINE
Hunter’s Role: Board member 2014-April 2019 Remuneration: Reportedly $50,000 per month
Burisma, Ukraine’s leading privately owned natural gas producer, obtained some of its most prized production assets while its founder Mykola Zlochevsky headed a ministry that doled out gas licenses under the kleptocratic administration of ex-president Viktor Yanukovich. After Mr Yanukovich fled to Russia in 2014, investigators started probing the company. That year Burisma appointed prominent westerners to its board, including Hunter Biden, who reportedly earned $50,000 per month for this role.
Mr Trump’s calls for his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Burisma over links to Joe Biden, his potential Democratic rival in next year’s presidential election, triggered the impeachment probe. In tweets and in a July phone call with Mr Zelensky, Mr Trump and Rudy Giuliani, his personal lawyer, alleged that Joe Biden protected Burisma and his son’s interests while he was vice-president. Ukraine’s western backers deny this narrative. Mandatory Credit: Photo by STEPAN FRANKO/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock (10426053c) (FILE) -

Inside life of Hunter Biden’s ‘sugar brother,’ Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris By Isabel Vincent, Washington Post, May 12, 2022
Updated Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris (left) helped make the careers of Matthew McConaughey and the duo behind "South Park." Now, he's taken Joe Biden's son Hunter (right) under his wing. NY Post photo composite More On: hunter biden House GOP rallies against Biden’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ as FTC gains Dem majority Hunter Biden’s lawyer pal sparks concern among WH inner circle: report ‘My Son Hunter’ producer accuses first son’s lawyer pal of ‘spying’ on filmmakers Senators press Delaware prosecutor on recusal in Hunter Biden tax case It was a scene straight out of a film noir: A glamorous Hollywood writer flies in his private jet to a small Balkan enclave posing as a documentarian to gather information on a group of actors and filmmakers in the midst of shooting a biopic about Hunter Biden. But the star of the surreal scenario that took place last fall in Serbia was Los Angeles-based lawyer Kevin Morris, a friend of Hunter’s who is now being accused of “spying” on the set of “My Son Hunter.” The film, which is highly critical of Hunter for allegedly selling influence to foreign companies while his father, Joe, was vice president, is produced by husband-and-wife documentarians Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney. “On set, a man named Kevin Morris arrived and told us he was working on a documentary exposing Hunter’s corruption,” a tweet from the official “My Son Hunter” site declared on Tuesday. “He told us he was a retired lawyer associated with South Park. We allowed him and his crew to interview us, cast members, and film on our set.”

In fact, Morris is a successful lawyer and big-money Democratic Party supporter who has become Hunter Biden’s newest fixer and “sugar brother,” allegedly loaning the president’s son $2 million to help pay off his overdue federal taxes. In addition to the loan, Morris, 58, has become the architect of the legal and media strategy of the president’s beleaguered son.
The lawyer, who counts Chris Rock and Matthew McConaughey among his celebrity clients, is also a prolific fiction writer of two novels and a collection of short stories. Over the past two years, Morris has helped Biden, a self-taught artist, forge a deal to market his paintings, which are priced between $50,000 and $500,000 apiece.
Morris has also paid Hunter’s monthly living expenses in Los Angeles, according to the New York Times. The Hollywood attorney even found a high-powered literary agent for Biden, 52, when he was writing “Beautiful Things,” a 2021 memoir that chronicles his drug and alcohol addictions.
Biden was so grateful for Morris’ counsel that he included him as part of “the outstanding team behind this book” on the acknowledgments page of his memoir. In fact, both Morris and Biden are represented by the same agents — Aevitas Creative Management — which looks after Morris’ own works, the novels “All Joe Knight” and “Gettysburg,” and the short story collection “White Man’s Problems.”
Morris has written two novels and a collection of short stories. Getty Images Morris is a highly successful lawyer and a self-made businessman, who rose from humble origins in Pennsylvania to launch his own firm, raking in hundreds of millions for his first clients, the creators of “South Park.” Now he’s thrown in his lot with the disgraced, drug-addled son of a president, filming his own documentary about Biden. “The whole thing is so bizarre,” one Hollywood insider told The Post. “What is a guy like that doing with Hunter Biden?”
For the last couple of years at least, Morris has been a Democratic Party loyalist, and spent hundreds of thousands on backing Democratic candidates, including President Biden. He met Hunter Biden at a political fundraiser for his father in December 2019, according to the New York Times. Earlier this year, Morris gave $100,000 to a political action committee supporting Conor Lamb, a Democratic Pennsylvania congressman who is trailing in the polls.
Here's a government report of the investigation into Hunter Biden from Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs: hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Ukraine Report_FINAL.pdf
Here's an interesting contradiction that I found when I went to the website for the law firm, Boies Schiller Flexner, which is the first job listing for R. Hunter. I went to their website and searched their list of attorneys. There is no entry for either R. Hunter or Hunter Biden. So how much is true and how much is fake on this LinkedIn resume? Well, that seems to be the question swirling around much of Hunter Biden's activities.
Apparently Hunter Biden did work for this law firm, as well as Joe Biden's brother, James, who we rarely hear about. Here's a Tweet from Arthur Schwartz @ArthurSchwartz Vindman & Fiona Hill are represented by Boies, Schiller & Flexner. That law firm also did work for Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company that paid Hunter Biden millions of dollars. That firm also employed Hunter Biden and paid him more than he’s worth. Weird, huh?
This is from the Boies, Schiller & Flexner law firm's website files: BSF Achieves Dismissal of Claims Against Family Members of Vice President Biden OCTOBER 19, 2009 In the News BSF won a major victory when New York Supreme Court Justice Bernard Fried granted in its entirety the Firm's motion to dismiss all claims filed against BSF's clients, including James and Hunter Biden, the Vice President’s brother and son, respectively, for alleged breach of contract, conversion and fraud arising from a failed acquisition of portions of a hedge fund.

Washington Free Beacon last June. Biden Administration Hunter Biden-Linked Law Firm Dodged Lobbying Disclosures for Burisma Work
Emails from Biden's laptop reveal relationship with Boies Schiller Flexner Hunter Biden Hunter Biden / Getty Images Chuck Ross • June 29, 2021
The prominent law firm for which Hunter Biden served as counsel took steps to avoid disclosing to Congress its work with Ukrainian energy giant Burisma Holdings, emails from Biden's laptop show. Heather King, a partner at Boies Schiller Flexner, detailed the lobbying strategy in emails to Biden, his business partners, and an executive for Burisma Holdings in 2014.
King wrote that she planned to provide legal and political services for Burisma "right up to the line" at which the law firm would have to disclose the work under federal lobbying laws. King also wrote of plans to meet with State Department officials in order to advocate for Burisma, which was seeking to expand its operations in the West as its owner was the subject of an international bribery investigation.
The emails highlight the gray area of federal lobbying laws, which provide some exemptions for lawyers. King's strategy to avoid registering under the Lobbying Disclosure Act or the more stringent Foreign Agents Registration Act was for Burisma to hire the firm ML Strategies as its lobbyist of record.
Boies Schiller Flexner has not been accused of any wrongdoing, but another Hunter Biden-linked firm, Blue Star Strategies, is under federal investigation for its undisclosed lobbying for Burisma. Biden also helped facilitate Blue Star's consulting deal with Burisma, emails show. Rudy Giuliani, a personal lawyer for former president Donald Trump, is also under federal investigation for his foreign lobbying activities.
Boies Schiller Flexner's arrangement with Burisma appeared to be an example of a firm trying to avoid having to publicly disclose its lobbying activities, one government ethics watchdog told the Washington Free Beacon. "There is a lot of lobbying that takes place that's never reported," said Scott Amey, general counsel for the Project on Government Oversight. He said that lawyers and consultants often "play fast and loose" with lobbying laws by characterizing their lobbying as educational activity or by operating just under the threshold where lobbying is legally required to be disclosed.
A lawyer for Boies Schiller Flexner, who declined to speak on the record, insisted that the firm complied with lobbying laws. Biden connected Burisma Holdings and Boies Schiller Flexner in April 2014, shortly after he joined the energy company's board of directors. Burisma paid Biden and a business partner, Devon Archer, more than $80,000 a month to help the company burnish its reputation in the West and scout out energy deals.
Biden's board position has come under scrutiny because of his father's role at the time leading the Obama administration's diplomatic talks with Ukraine. King took the lead in developing Boies Schiller Flexner's strategy for Burisma, according to emails from Biden's laptop obtained by the Free Beacon. King was a member of the firm's Crisis Management and Government Response Team. Biden referred Burisma to the team.
Other emails show that a recent Justice Department nominee, Hampton Dellinger, worked on the crisis management team at Boies Schiller Flexner. King wrote in the May 2014 emails that she wanted to contact State Department officials to "‘update' them on Burisma's current situation."
She also told Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi that she planned to attend meetings with government officials alongside David Leiter, the owner of ML Strategies. "We at [Boies Schiller Flexner] will lead all this work and can execute the political and legal work right up to the line where we would need to register as lobbyists, but I don't want to register under the lobbying disclosure act or the foreign agents registration act," King wrote in a May 12, 2014, email to Biden and Archer.
In an email to Pozharskyi, King said she planned to accompany Leiter in his meetings with government officials. She said that she would be at the meeting "strictly as" a lawyer for Burisma because she was not registered to lobby. Burisma wired $250,000 to Boies Schiller Flexner on May 7, 2014, according to documents on Biden's laptop.
ML Strategies disclosed receiving $90,000 in 2014 to lobby for Burisma. The Boies Schiller Flexner connection is not disclosed in those filings. Other emails show that Boies Schiller Flexner paid $13,000 a month for consulting work.
Boies Schiller Flexner has come under scrutiny in recent years for its behind-the-scenes influence activities. The company hired Black Cube, an Israeli private intelligence firm, to spy on victims of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
