Joe Biden's Son Hunter Does Drugs Next to a Little Girl and a Stripper Pole

      The photograph you see below was obtained through a Twitter user whom the author of this blog wishes to keep anonymous, for the sake of that person's safety.
     The photo - which I found out about in the late evening of January 14th, 2021 - depicts Hunter Biden, the son of president-elect Joe Biden.
     Hunter Biden appears to have a stripper pole, a table which likely has drugs on it, and what appears to be a little girl, in front of him.




     The text on the top of this image is probably a bar that someone's iPhone attached to the image while they were taking a screenshot of the photo of Biden.
     It is probably fair to assume, from that text, that the original photo of Biden and the girl, were taken no later than July 13th, 2018 (unless the person's iPhone calendar and/or clock were set incorrectly).

     Some Twitter users have commented on this photo, and insisted that it is fake, or that it is a Photoshop. However, they have supplied no evidence that that is the case; only conjecture. Furthermore, the shadows and light sources all seem to be facing in the same direction, which would indicate it's probably not edited.
     Some have even claimed that this is not a picture of Hunter Biden. They have probably forgotten that if Hunter Biden ever goes a day or two without shaving, he will not look like the heavily made-up puppet that he looked in late 2020 like when he was stumping for his father.
     For reference, here are pictures of Hunter Biden in full makeup, and with a day or two's growth of beard.






     Hunter Biden can look very different from himself on a different day. Furthermore, this is not the first time that scandalous photos of Hunter Biden have leaked, which make him look like the drug addict he is.







     Don't forget who we are talking about here! Hunter Biden was discharged from the Navy for his cocaine addiction.
     Democrats defend him by saying "Everyone has problems, he's admitted to it." Well it would seem that he's done cocaine while letting a little girl press her head to his shirtless chest! Doing cocaine around children and a stripper pole is not just "a private citizen having some fun". A child is involved and she needs to be protected, because she couldn't have consented to be in that situation.

     We are also talking about a man who had an affair with his dead brother's wife, and then left her and her children. 

     And he had a secret illegitimate daughter, and initially refused to get a paternity test and had to be sued.
     And a mysterious job on the board of the "Ukrainian" energy company Burisma. And a mysterious connection with China.
     Are we really supposed to believe that this adulterous cocaine addict who got discharged from the military - who told his nieces and nephews "Hey kids, I'm not your uncle anymore, I'm your father now" and then left his sister-in-law - is incapable of coercing a minor into sexual activity?


     Additionally, there were rumblings in the press in the fall of 2020, about six weeks before the election, that Hunter Biden had been tied to human trafficking rings in Ukraine. According to the following article, a Senate report stated that Hunter Biden paid non-resident Russian and/or Eastern European women for sex; women who appeared connected to prostitution rings.
     Well, maybe now, we know what that was about! Could the girl in the photo at the top of this article, be an "underage Ukrainian prostitute" (a/k/a child sex trafficking victim)? Has Hunter Biden used his six-figure salary from Burisma to buy the children of poor couples in Ukraine?

     But let's not jump the gun. How do we even know that any of this is happened Ukraine, anyway? Burisma's headquarters are in Cyprus. This could have happened in any country. The girl looks either white or Hispanic, or perhaps Asian, so it's hard to determine the girl's country of origin solely by looking at this photo.


     Other Biden defenders have pointed to the girl's hand, and her "gray hair", to claim that the girl is actually an old woman. That reminds me of Alan Dershowitz's story; that he didn't have sex with any underage girls, he just "got massages from an old Russian woman".

     First off, the girl's hair is not "gray". There are certain portions of her black hair, which are reflecting the white light that is coming from the left side of the photo. White light on black hair will often produce gray tones in certain areas, some more than others. What you are seeing is the light reflecting off of her black hair.


     Biden's defenders have pointed to the girl's long fingers, saying that it looks like an old woman's hand. Well, if that's true, then where is the rest of the old woman's body? Are we to believe that this girl, with the soft features on her face and her small body, is actually an old woman?
     Maybe she has long fingers because she's emaciated. Maybe her family is so poor and hungry that they chose to sell her to Hunter Biden for sex. Maybe the fake fingernails she's wearing, make her fingers look longer than they normally would.
     It is not my job to explain to you why a little girl's hands don't look like a little girl's hands should! Some girls are thinner than others. Some live in war-torn regions that experience hunger and poverty.
     Furthermore, it is not a little girl's job to prove that she is not of age, for you to stop defending her rapist. If you say that a little girl must be an old woman, because part of her looks old, or because she is wearing the kind of press-on fingernails or acrylics that an adult might wear, then you are blaming a child for getting raped based on what she was wearing when it happened.



     Anyone who has ever seen a child before, should be able to recognize that there is no way this girl is older than 15. She might even be as young as nine or ten. If she is an adult, then she is severely emaciated, and her condition should be a concern, as well as how Hunter Biden got a hold of her. Either way, a crime has been committed.
     Hunter Biden is handling girls who are not his daughters, holding them close to his shirtless chest, and doing drugs in their presence. What the stripper pole is doing there, and whether it's really a stripper pole, we can't be sure. But something is obviously up.


     This latest photograph may also explain what Hunter Biden was talking about, in the audio that was leaked last fall. In that audio, Biden said something about his estranged ex-wife's complaints about him. His comments included complaints that his ex-wife was concerned that he appeared shirtless in a photograph with his daughter.
     Hunter Biden's daughters are named Naomi and Maisy. Naomi was born in 1993, and is 28 years old now. Maisy was born in 2001, and is 20 years old now. If we assume that the photo of Hunter Biden and the girl was taken no later than July 2018, then Maisy was no older than 17, and Naomi was no older than 25.
     This means it's extremely unlikely that the girl in the photo is Hunter Biden's daughter Naomi, because she would have been older and larger than the girl in the photo at the time. It's possible, because of the girl's size, that it's Maisy, somewhere between the age of 12 and 17. But does this girl really look like Maisy Biden?



     The girl in the photo is not one of Hunter Biden's daughters. At least it's not one of the ones he knows about!
     But in all seriousness, it's probably not his secret daughter in Arkansas either. How he would have been allowed near her in 2018 or earlier, cannot be easily explained. Additionally, that daughter was born in 2018, the same year (probably) that the photo of Biden and the black-haired girl was taken.

     The black-haired girl is definitely not one of Hunter Biden's daughters. The soft features of her face, and her small size - including her thin fingers - shows that she is not an old woman, but a child, who (in my opinion) appears to be somewhere between 8 and 13 years old.


     Now what about those drugs on the table? There is clear evidence that Biden had been smoking cigarettes, which is not illegal. But there may also be a marijuana joint, and a syringe, on the table in front of Biden and the girl. And the stripper pole.



     The appearance of a stripper pole, and drugs on the table - and the fact that Biden is shirtless, pressing the face of a girl who is not his daughter, to his naked chest - should make it clear what is going on here.

     Hunter Biden is either a kidnapper who does drugs near children and doesn't have sex with them, or else he is a full-on child rapist.

     In all likelihood, he is probably using his power and money to pay poor people in Eastern Europe to let him rape their daughters.



     We should also bear in mind that this is not the first time that one of the Biden men has been caught red-handed touching children inappropriately.

     I have documented - through numerous articles, images, and videos - that Hunter Biden's father Joe, the president-elect of the United States, pinched a little girl's nipple live on C-SPAN during a congressional swearing-in ceremony on January 3rd, 2015.

     The preceding list, and the text which follows, enumerate forty-eight Americans - in legislative politics, diplomacy, law, business, and the military - who likely have ties to Ukrainian business interests (usually the energy market) and/or corruption in Ukrainian politics and/or military affairs. 
     These include persons who testified, and have stated willingness to testify, at the impeachment inquiry hearings regarding President Trump's possible collusion with Russia and/or Ukraine. Not all persons mentioned below have investments in Ukraine; but they are still worth mentioning for other reasons. For example, Alexander Vindman and Alexandra Chalupa don't have any known investments in Ukraine, but they are Ukrainian-American.
     The purpose of this article is to explain what ties - if any, and however distant - these politicians, government officials (and political campaign and party officials), businessmen, etc., have to Ukraine (or might have).

     [Note: Of anyone listed herein, John Bolton is perhaps the only one who should have been omitted. That is, outside of the individuals who are listed here due to their ties to the Uranium One scandal. But only provided that the deal to sell Uranium One to Russian company Rosakom had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton or Tony Podesta.]









1. Adams, David

     American diplomat. Former chief adviser to Hillary Clinton at the State Department. Principal at the Podesta Group (ired by the Podesta Group after being Hillary Clinton's chief adviser). Adams's link to Ukraine is indirect; Adams met with Clinton to discuss the Uranium One deal, which may have been done in order to help Russia acquire leverage in the energy market (leverage which could be used against Ukraine).

2. Archer, Devon

American businessman, and partner of Christopher Heinz (John Kerry's stepson) at Rosemont Seneca Partners. Sat on board of Ukraine-based Burisma Holdings Ltd. (the largest energy company in Ukraine).
http://www.newsweek.com/devon-archer-trump-meme-joe-hunter-biden-1462879










3. Biden, Hunter R.


American businessman and son of Democratic former vice president Joe Biden. Sat on the board of Ukraine-based Burisma Holdings Ltd., earned $50,000 per month (or perhaps $83,333 per month, which has also been reported).


Hunter Biden's father Joe Biden was caught on film bragging about how he got Ukrainian top prosecutor Viktor Shokin to refrain from continuing investigation of Burisma while Hunter served on its board. Although threatening to withhold aid from Ukraine was part of official federal government policy at the time, Joe Biden took advantage of the legality of withholding that aid (a billion dollars in loan guarantees) in order to bring about Shokin's firing (summarizing what he said as “you're not getting the billion dollars... I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money”). Joe Biden said he did this after Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk committed to take action against state prosecutor Shokin (who was investigating $3 billion going into Hunter Biden's firm Burisma), but failed to do so, and then Biden told them that President Obama authorized Biden to make that deal.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXA--dj2-CY

American congressman and Republican from California. Former Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, and former member of Donald Trump's transition team. Rudy Giuliani's associate, Ukrainian-American Lev Parnas, claimed that former Ukrainian state prosecutor Viktor Shokin told Parnas that Shokin had met with Nunes in Vienna, Austria, in December 2018 (a claim which Nunes denies). Shokin had previously opened an investigation into Burisma, but did not complete it.









27. Obama, Barack Hussein



Former U.S. president, 2009 to 2017. Chose “White House points person on Ukraine” Joe Biden as his running mate.

Chose as his second Secretary of State, John Kerry, whose stepson Christopher Heinz served on the board of Burisma (leaving in 2014).

Joe Biden said in February 2018 that Obama authorized Biden to take advantage of the opportunity to use legally authorized threats to withhold a billion dollars of loan guarantees from the Ukraine, unless state prosecutor Viktor Shokin (who had begun an investigation into $3 billion going into Hunter Biden's firm Burisma) could be fired.

30. Pelosi, Paul Jr.



Son of Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Paul Pelosi, Jr. has been accused by various media outlets of having ties to corruption in the Ukrainian energy market. According to public records, Paul Pelosi, Jr. visited Ukraine in 2017 as part of an American business initiative. Pelosi Jr. was a board member of Viscoil. He is also an Executive for NRG Lab and Research, which has stated interests in environmental protection. Viscoil, according to various reports, is based either in California, or Ukraine. Viscoil and NRG Lab have each been reported to possibly be based in Singapore. Either or both of the companies may have changed headquarters at some point. Paul Pelosi Jr. has denied that his business with Viscoil had anything to do with Ukraine. Pelosi's ties to Ukraine apparently stem from allegations about the hiring of a Ukrainian singer to promote the Viscoil company.

38. Schiff, Adam

     Democratic U.S. Representative from California (since 2013), and one of the lead investigators in the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump, as part of his position as chair of the House Intelligence Committee. That inquiry has featured investigation into Trump's dealings with Ukraine as well as Russia.
     Schiff has been accused of associating with alleged “Ukrainian arms dealer” Igor Pasternak. Pasternak is, in fact, Kazahstan-born, and an American citizen; he is an entrepreneur and an engineer. His company, U.S.-based Worldwide Aeros Corp, manufactures airships. Pasternak has been mistakenly labeled as a “Ukrainian arms dealer”, but “Kazakh-American arms dealer” would perhaps be appropriate. Also, Pasternak's company has (according to Snopes.com) “provided military hardware to Ukrainian military troops who were fighting Russian forces in Donbas”. Additionally, Adam Schiff 
has associated with Pasternak; Pasternak hosted a fundraiser for Schiff in 2013.

42. Vindman, Alexander



     Ukrainian-American immigrant, lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, and Iraq War veteran. Director for European Affairs and “top Ukraine expert” for the U.S. National Security Council under Trump. Listened to Trump's July 25th, 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Testified that Trump had undermined national security by asking Zelensky to investigate the Bidens.

     Vindman has been accused of being a “Never Trumper” and a spy, and there have also been conflicting and confusing reports about whether he has been fired or will be fired. To date (as of November 14th, 2019), it appears that he has not yet been fired from the National Security Council. He may be "rotated back to his own department", according to National Security Advisor Robert C. o'Brien.

46. Williams, Jennifer



     American political aide for Vice President Mike Pence. Was present for the July 25
th, 2019 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (although various media outlets reported instead that the vice president himself was present during that call; he was not). Williams said that the call was diplomatic, not political, and “normal”.
     Former Ambassador to Ukraine (Trump ordered Yovanovitch removed from her post in May 2019). Axios reported that Yovanovitch was warned to “watch her back”, by Ukrainian officials, about how Giuliani wanted to replace her (supposedly because they felt that Yovanovitch was hindering investigations into Biden and his son). Yovanovitch was called to testify as part of the impeachment inquiry into Trump's possibly illegal withholding of aid from Ukraine. Reportedly used her personal email to communicate with congressional staffer Laura Carey.
