Making sense of the Biden-Burisma Conspiracy Theory

Laid out in a timeline, so everyone can make sense of what's happening before the fascists unload the next Biden-Burisma conspiracy theory.


THE TIMELINE:

2012: The Ukrainian prosecutor general, began investigating Burisma Holdings owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, over allegations of money laundering, tax evasion, and corruption during 2010–2012.

December 2013: the pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, ousted and flees to Moscow.

February 2014: Joe Biden had been made the point man on Ukraine.

April 2014: In April 2014 Zlochevsky named Hunter Biden, son of then U. S. Vice President Joe Biden, to Burisma’s board as a director of Burisma.

April 2014: The Serious Fraud Office of the United Kingdom froze approximately $23 million belonging to companies controlled by Zlochevsky. At the end of 2014, Zlochevsky fled Ukraine amid allegations of unlawful self enrichment and legalization of funds.

November 2014: Deutsche Bank reported that $24 million of funds from his companies were wired from Cyprus to the Latvia branch of PrivatBank, the bank co-owned by the oligarch in the Dnipropetrovsk region, Ihor Kolomoyskyi.

2015 Through 2015 and early 2016, domestic and international pressure (including from the IMF, the EU, and the EBRD) built for Shokin to be removed from office. The Obama administration withheld $1 billion in loan guarantees to pressure the Ukrainian government to remove Shokin from office.

April 2018: an alleged recording of part of a conversation between President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and fugitive Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksandr Onyshchenko was released by Onyshchenko which implicated Mykola Zlochevsky in graft.

June 2018: after the Solomyansky District Court in Kyiv had annulled the ruling of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) to close a criminal proceeding against him in 2017, Zlochevsky was accused of having illegally issued, while he was Ecology Minister in 2010–2012, oil and gas licenses to the companies that belonged to him.

January 2019: President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, attempted to secure a visa from the State Department for ousted Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin, diplomat George Kent told congressional investigators this week, according to two people familiar with his deposition.

2019: Authorities said the criminal investigation on suspicion of embezzlement is currently on hold because Zlochevsky's whereabouts cannot presently be determined. Zlochevsky is reported to live in Monaco. He bought Cypriot citizenship somewhere between 2017 and 2019.

July 2019: Three days after Giuliani’s call, Zelensky was granted what turned out to be his infamous July 25 phone call with Trump. During that call, the president increased the pressure for Ukraine to “do us a favor” and do “whatever you can do” to “look into” “Biden’s son” and Biden “bragging that he stopped the prosecution” of Burisma, the company associated with Hunter Biden. Trump brought this up in direct response to requests from Zelensky for a meeting and “to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.”

Red Stone Lapis Lazuli s09 e27 - The Mess https://youtube.com/live/xCLRbapS1tc The billionaire elites funded his campaign. The white supremacists supported it. The dumb Americans covered their eyes and ears and with a troll grin they gave power to a criminal and made him above the law. How else do you think it will turn out?

Affirmation of critiques of white supremacist ideology. Example: RFK Jr. failures. Orange clown manipulates Duverger's law for power; to counter use ranked choice voting. Elon Musk's conflict of interests. Georgia's unjust abortion law. Ukraine's military success. The orange clown's inevitable doom approaches.    

We're moving down the lines of the poem pretty quickly now

They never stopped coming for the Black folks. Gavin Newsom is grinning brightly as he sacrifices Trans people with his podcast's nazi guests. They purged the military of gays, of women, of people in the global majority. They sent bounty hunters to collect people without their papers. Being Latino made you a target, regardless of your legal status. But YOU are safe, right? YOU don't commit crimes. YOU have your papers together. YOU have your shit together, so that means YOU won't catch any heat, right? WRONG. At any moment, you could become disabled through no fault of your own. Maybe there was a patch of ice. Maybe the other car ran the red light. Maybe you just stepped wrong. Maybe that chronic condition you've been ignoring because you don't have health insurance is getting bad enough that you can't ignore it anymore. Maybe there's a recession and you lose your job, along with everyone you know. Maybe you're not in your prime working age anymore. How ...
