Stunning Revelations

This book is extremely relevant today in the middle of October 2020. This book is not a Biden hit piece but rather a serious documentary on Washington and international corruption generally. From China, Ukraine and other corrupt countries to Biden, Bush, McConnell, Trump and others, the author pulls no punches here. But as far as the relevance of events unfolding today, the Joe and Hunter Biden revelations are earth shattering to say the least. While Obama and Joe Biden were making international deals concerning critical national security interests Joe Biden's son along with John Kerry's son and others were making corrupt deals that benefited their families. Why was China allowed to weaponize the disputed islands in the South China Sea? Why was China allowed to procure a corner on the market of valuable minerals and metals vital for their nuclear program? Why was Hunter Biden involved in China obtaining nuclear secrets? Where did one billion dollars of taxpayer's money go? One hand was making international deals that compromised the security of the United States and the other hand was profiting on the deals through secret back room business deals and money laundering operations. Pure corruption. And we haven't even mentioned the Ukraine yet. The book reads like a crime novel but is well documented. Sadly, this is not fiction but real world corruption in the highest levels of government. Say what you want about Donald Trump but he is right about one thing: If Biden is elected then China will own the United States. I hope this is exposed before the election. Read the book and weep.
