So it turns out that Biden's pick to lead the CIA has some pretty sweet connections to the Communist Party of China!
Nominee William J. Burns runs a think tank that has received nearly $2 million in the past few years from a Chinese businessman and another think tank with direct ties to the CCP.
The think tank is called the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which immediately reminds me of C.S. Lewis' fictional organization named the "National Institution of Coordinated Experiments," or N.I.C.E.
(Note: N.I.C.E. was not very nice at all.)
As part of this totally normal endowment that probably isn't a front for anything nefarious, Burns invited a bunch of congressional staffers to travel to China where they met with a CCP operative and other shady McShade individuals.
The Chinese businessman who donated at least half a mil to the think tank is Zhang Yichen, the CEO a China-based investment firm called CITIC Consulting.
Please note that any company listed as "China-based" means "communist-controlled."
Zhang is also connected directly to two CCP organizations:
- The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) – an advisory group for the CCP that promotes the communist agenda internationally.
- The Center for China and Globalization – a Beijing-based think tank that is also effectively controlled by the CCP. Zhang serves as senior vice chair there.
A spokesman for Carnegie said that Zhang only donated for the development of a partnership with Tsinghua University in China, which I'm sure is fine and totally aboveboard. It's not like Zhang is currently sitting on Carnegie's actual board.
Oh wait...
The said Carnegie-Tsinghua partnership has hosted forums with the Center for China and Globalization, which was directly named in 2018 by Sen Marco Rubio (FL) as a strategic CCP asset – one that President Xi called a "magic weapon."
Carnegie has also received money from another think tank called the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), part of the "united front system" that aims to increase communist dominance globally. Here's how a bunch of retired U.S. spooks describe this organization:
"[CUSEF is] a major player in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s organizational apparatus for conducting united front work in the United States."
They also said its express purpose is to "sway public opinion and build influence in America."
There are other concerns added to these meteor-sized red flags, including Burns appearing at an event with Chinese ambassador Cui Tiankai in 2018. The ambassador has spread multiple conspiracy theories about COVID-19 (all denying China is to blame) and has denied the re-education camps and forced labor of Uighur Muslims.
There was also a trip that Burns and Carnegie organized for 11 congressional staff members to meet with CCP members in 2019.
Other members of Carnegie include Jake Sullivan – Biden's current national security adviser – who appeared on CCP-controlled TV in 2017 to criticize Trump.
A man with these numerous relational and financial connections to the brutal communist regime will likely be leading the freaking CIA. THE CIA!
It's also worth noting that Burns would be the first career diplomat to ever serve in the position – you know, instead of someone with military and intelligence background. He spent 33 years in the U.S. foreign service – including as ambassador to Moscow – and was deputy secretary of state under Obama. If there's anything I know, it's that career swamp creatures are the type of accountable, ethical, and intelligent people you want running your black ops spy operations!
Look at the gaslight, folks. Nothing to see here!
What a time to be alive.
