Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Back in 1979, while negotiating a nuclear arms treaty with the Soviets, Biden allegedly told the Soviets his talk of human rights was just a show to satisfy voters back home.
From 2015;
Joe Biden’s Rights Talk
He tells Chinese leaders the same thing he told the Soviets.
April 13, 2015 12:51 pm ET
…
It turns out Mr. Biden has a long record of playing down human rights in private diplomatic meetings while mouthing support in public. His message to China’s Mr. Xi—that U.S. human-rights talk is meant to satisfy a “political imperative” from voters at home—is almost identical to what he told Soviet leaders as a Senator visiting Moscow in 1979.
“The delegation did not officially raise the issue of human rights during the negotiations. Biden said they did not want ‘to spoil the atmosphere with problems which are bound to cause distrust in our relations.’” So recorded Vadim Zagladin, deputy head of the Soviet Communist Party Central Committee’s International Department, in an internal memo after meeting U.S. Senators in Moscow in April 1979. The memo, archived after the Cold War at the Gorbachev Foundation, was translated in 2008 by former Soviet political prisoner Vladimir Bukovsky and author Pavel Stroilov.
The memo continued: “During the breaks between the sessions the Senators passed to us several letters concerning these or those ‘refuseniks,’” Jewish activists who were refused the right to emigrate from the Soviet Union. “Unofficially, Biden and [Senator Richard] Lugar said that, in the end of the day, they were not so much concerned with having a problem of this or that citizen solved as with showing to the American public that they do care for ‘human rights.’ They must prove to their voters that they are ‘effective in fulfilling their wishes.’”

The Soviet communists of course treated the arms treaty and peace accords Biden helped negotiate like a piece of toilet paper. In December 1979 Brezhnev ordered the Soviet 40th Army to cross the border and occupy the Afghan capital Kabul, the opening move of the Soviet Afghan war.
I admit it is possible the Wall Street Journal got their facts wrong. I have not seen the original documents allegedly sourced from archives recovered after the fall of the Soviet Union. Or maybe Biden has learned his lesson, 1979 was a long time ago.
But given all the Biden and Kerry rhetoric about climate change being an existential crisis, and Biden’s claimed track record of expediency on human rights during Soviet times, his alleged willingness to sell out Soviet dissidents and his alleged willingness to mislead the American public, I don’t think China interning entire ethnic groups into alleged rape camps is likely to stand in the path of Biden’s efforts to negotiate a comprehensive Sino-US climate deal.
“Will Biden Sell Out…?” In the vernacular, Duh. Waddayamean “Will?”
If he even understands what he is doing.
Sort of like a clone. With downgraded programming .
There ought to be clo(w)nes
The Uyghurs are just a stick with which to beat China. The better question is whether Biden will make ruinous trade concessions to get a useless climate deal with China? So the real question is, will Biden sell out America?
Bribem will do whatever his ChiCom paymasters tell him to do, unless it differs from what “Nance” tells him to do, an unlikely event, given her own subservience to the CCP.
The ChiComs told BidenHeiress to STOP pushing Democracy around the globe … to which they both enthusiastically agreed, saying … “we started backtracking on Democracy last November”
The real question is more when will he stop: retirement due to health (really hard to hide the next anyeurysm), 25th amendment relief from office for dementia, his props get tired or begin infighting, or impeachment.
In a heartbeat for an old coat and a bag of manure.
In all likelihood Xo Bai-den will do all he can to please his ChiCom masters
Trump sold out to both Russia and China repeatedly. We voters fired his treasonous ass the first chance we had, after Senate Republicans failed to do their duty to convict him.
Fact-free claims.
Duane,
When he sold out, what did he get?
Money?
Political power?
Sex & drugs?
A high paying job for a worthless son?
Kickbacks to his brother?
A warm and fuzzy feeling?
A big return on stock options?
10% ?
What did he get?
DUANE,
What did he get???
Come on Maa’aaan! If we don’t cool the planet … there’ll be no Uyghurs! First things first. #obvioussarc.
I think it is more properly “When will Biden sell us out”
Not when. Diversity, inequity, and exclusion is in progress, and has been for some time. Environmental and labor arbitrage (e.g. shared/shifted responsibility) present forward-looking capital, control, and democratic leverage schemes.
The Big Guy may get around to selling us out; if not, there’s always his cohort waiting in the wings with lots of experience selling people down the river.
The Big Guy’s day are numbered. Kamala is getting closer to sending ole’ Joe out to pasture and the memory care rest home.
Dementia Joe’s speech before Congress this coming week could be that 1 straw if he fumbles badly enough.
Don’t be too sure. She can only have two terms in office. If they can keep him alive until 2024 she will get three terms. Don’t imagine she is in a rush to become pres and eat up one of her terms in office.
She’s already running the show and can wait for the next election to get the full title.
No one seems to have cottoned on that reality yet.
technically she does not need to wait until 2024. If Biden serves two years (January 2022) then the term counts as “his” and she can serve two more. The day she was picked as VP and it was obvious to me he was of reduced mental state, I told my wife that was the plan. Mark it, Feb 2022 Joe retires for health reasons or to spend more “quality time with his family” i.e. his usefulness has expired
… midterms as well …
Do the Dems to better or worse if she takes over before the midterms?
They likely get trashed as is. With VP Cackles having to make speeches before and during midterms they get trashed even worse.
I’m not sure she is running the show. Or that anyone else is. At the moment the US looks as though the various big nobs are all getting in each other’s way.
She is not bright enough to run & manage the whorehouse. She is simply one of the workers.
Xiden and all the multinational corporate and media partners sold out America last year with COVID … and then the farcical “election”. We’ve already BEEN sold out … and now … here come the taxes and replacement population. The Obama cabal has finally knocked Americans off our “high horse”.
Lets look at the data and see who is being taken for a sucker:
Here are the number of Coal fired power stations in various countries with the 2nd numbers signifying planned and population size in brackets:
…….4 / …….0….UK……………….(66,600,000)
….19 / …..60….Philippines …(108,100,000)
….56 / …..93….Turkey ………..(82,000,000)
….58 / …..26….South Korea ….(51,710,000)
….79 / …..24….South Africa …(58,560,000)
….90 / …..45….Japan ………..(126,300,000)
…241 / ……4….US …………….(328,200,000)
…468 / ….27….EU ……………(446,000,000)
…589 / ..446…India ………(1,366,000,000)
2,363 / 1171…China ……..(1,398,000,000)
China’s middle class is over 700,000,000 while India’s is 350,000,000. The UK’s middle class is about 40,000,000.
And from the Guardian 13/12/2018:
China called on rich countries to “pay their debts” on climate change at global talks on Thursday, criticising developed countries for not doing enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide finance to help poor countries do the same.
Of course the CCP wants the West to starve itself of energy, while buying wind turbines and solar panels from China. Meantime, China builds new coal-fired plants to replace its less efficient, older generating capacity.
The West is run by stooges or worse.
Useful idiots more like
Maybe some, but others have been bought off or are ideologically aligned with CCP goals and methods. Pelosi, Feinstein, Swalwell, et al are known running dogs of the CCP, yet still in power.
Citing Planned Parent/hood (e.g. selective-child); diversity, inequity, and exclusion; catastrophic anthropogenic immigration reform; intermittent/renewable energy; and other progressive policies, China requests that the Western nations take a knee, beg, good girl.
I hope some of China’s power stations are destined for sub Saharan Africa which has a desperate need despite Greta Thunberg’s racism
Yes, some of them are, and credit to China for doing this. Its a shame about everything else they do.
The CCP isn’t doing it out of altruism, but to ensure debt slavery and markets.
Correct! The CCP is all about smoke and mirrors.
That and quasi-colonization to relieve their excess male population left from their one-child social policy indulgence.
It bears repeating again and again what Obama’s former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates (was also George Bush’s Sec Def, chosen by Obama to stay because Obama had no one on his 2008 campaign that was competent on National Defense issues) wrote about Joe Biden in his book, Duty (found on page 288 of the hard copy).
“Still, I think he (Joe Biden) has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
Secretary Gates was asked multiple times last year, during the election run-up, by various Left-leaning media interviewers if he would retract that statement in his book, for the record. Secretary Gates stood by that assessment.
He didn’t want to let into the US Vietnamese refugees who sided with the US and the governments it backed. And he voted with the Democratic majority to cut off aid to the RVN amid the oil shock, which imobilized its forces, making them easy prey for the invading Communists. Then, predictably, the Northerners purged the Southern Viet Cong guerrillas, their ranks already practically wiped out during the Tet Offensive, cynically ill used by their Communist masters.
Why are my comments about ChiCom slave labor always moderated, then lost? Is it the word “gen0cide”?
Yes. Whenever I use that G word, or the K word (goes to moderation) I either have to mispell it or put spaces in it to get it past moderation. There are several other phrases that cause a posted comment to disappear.
Problem is, my comments thus moderated usually never turn up. Will see in this case. It has already been over an hour.
Yes, happened to me yesterday, I believe it was the “G” word, it makes post’s disappear.
planned death of a race/culture
yep, you are right
the pre-posted bad word will (may follow)
It didn’t show up
Gennyside
Gennoside
Genoside

Joel,
That G word you mention was that Gore? I used it and I think I got away with it. The K word is also passed sometimes, I mentioned Kamala a while back and it is still up. The N word seems to be a bit of a trigger though. If you mention Nancy that always causes moderator interest.
Mann O Mann, what is the world coming to?
How does moderation work? Does the owner of the site have a list of words which can be added to or reduced? Or is the list built into the web by whatever web design tool was used to make it? Just curious. Once a post is moderated- who makes the determination to post the item or not? Or is it automatic by some algorithm? I can’t see why the G word should be moderated. The N word, yes, of course.
I think there are two lists of moderated words. One for the local website and then WordPress has it’s own list. I think that’s the way it works. I recall Anthony saying there was nothing he could do about the WordPress list of moderated words.
And that list is ridiculous because it auto-moderates harmless words like “sk!lls” that contain the “problem” words. It’s as if WP has never heard of the “Sc_nthorpe Problem” which has been known for something like 25 years.
Planned Population. The AI was trained with the em-pathetic belief, and is in denial, ignorant of its logical progression.
Can he abort the baby, cannibalize her profitable parts, sequester her carbon pollutants, and have her, too? Its his Choice. They’re a “burden”. The tenets of his religion offer social justification to sacrifice them for the sake of progress: one step forward, two steps backward.
The ChiCom regime does Planned Parenthood one better. They hold Falun Gong members as slave labor until it comes time to kill them to harvest their organs, based upon best fit on demand for customers, to reduce rejections.
Bribem’s best buds forever, the ChiCom regime, are the enemies of humanity, starting with their own subject and enslaved peoples.
It’s just a cultural thing, would wouldn’t understand.
Yet again censored.
This comment is approved, but that on Uyghur slave labor on solar panels remains censored, despite being one of the first responses.
Don’t be surprised if the 2020 election gets overturned and there after all the punitive environmental policies.

The best thing for the biosphere, ie children and other living things, would be to triple CO2 up to ~1200 ppmv, the optimum level for C3 plants, ie all trees and most crops.
It’s no surprise that Biden still uses the same deceptive tactics that Bill Clinton used in all his campaigning and political dealings – “triangulation” – as described by Christopher Hitchens in his book “No One Left To Lie To”.
Basically, it entailed telling each audience whatever would ingratiate Clinton with that audience, irrespective of what he had previously told other audiences – usually entirely different stories.
The main factor in the success of this tactic is a complicit media.
(which is what prompted Hitchens to write his observations based on his experiences in the Clinton camp-following media pack over a number of years).
The old quote assigned to any number of folks ends with:
We have already established what Mr. Biden is, we now have to demonstrate that the price is anything but zero.
It all makes perfect sense!!

Not only will Joey sell out….he will do it cheaply….China will offer Hunter Biden another deal for a few mill and some of it will go the “Big Guy” Joey himself…..maybe some to his brother….the Bideno Crime family is doing OK…..America?….not so well, in fact there is a disaster in the White House.
Route the funds through the bank account to Nancy and Maxine—for the children.
Isn’t Hunter trying to sell books?
If Chinese money buys a million books, how much does Hunter’s publisher have donate to the DNC?
Sacrifices have to be made mister.
Could it be that Mr Putin and Mr Xi have a daily Zoom call to have a good laugh every day at Mr Biden’s latest bloopers?
Last Night’s Show with Xi Jinping. Tonight’s celebrity guest is Vladimir Putin, featuring the transnational and domestic antics of Biden and Son.
Kerry will dress in ethnic costume to smooth things out, for a day only.
Biden would sell out anything for votes.
Don’t believe everything you read in politics. Hell, some people believed the crazy story that Trump asked the Ukraine president for dirt on a political opponent, in return for money for arms, that had already been approved by congress.
Or maybe Trump heard a story about Biden having a prosecutor fired who was investigating a company Hunter was involved in, and wanted to know what the h*ll was going on.
My Ukrainian friend said the prosecutor Biden had fired was the poorest prosecutor in the Ukraine – didn’t own any expensive cars or luxury holiday homes.
Please don’t tell me you are talking about Viktor Shokin?
Yep. Hilarious writeup in Whackypedia, Biden apparently justified his ultimatum to Ukraine to fire Shokin on the grounds Shokin was “slow walking” his investigation into Burisma. You know, the company Hunter Biden worked for.
OMG. No one and I mean no one except those on the extreme right who swallow conspiracy theories for breakfast, believes Shokin was fired because oBiden was protecting his son. He was fired because he was about as corrupt as an Eastern European public servant could be… and that is corrupt. Half of Europe wanted him gone and it was Obama not Biden who gave the order. Biden just pulled the trigger
On another note the conspirators (QAnon)were right about one thing. There was a paedophile ring being run by American politicians, they just got the wrong party. Matt Gaetz anyone?
Simon, I don’t know if Shokin was corrupt, but the optics aren’t good for Biden.
Joe Biden pressured the Ukraine to remove a prosecutor investigating a company which Hunter Biden was involved with, allegedly justifying the removal because among other things Shokin supposedly wasn’t making enough of an effort to take down a company where Biden’s own son was on the board.
Imagine if Donald Trump had pressured the Ukrain to fire a prosecutor investigating a company which had Eric Trump on the board. Would you have been so understanding of Trump in this scenario?
I think it was entirely appropriate for Trump to have a WTF conversation with the Ukrainians. Even if Biden is entirely innocent, it was reasonable for the sitting President at the time to ask what happened.
“I think it was entirely appropriate for Trump to have a WTF conversation with the Ukrainians. Even if Biden is entirely innocent, it was reasonable for the sitting President at the time to ask what happened.”
It is reasonable for a president to know and act on potential corruption, but this looked sooo bad. Biden was his no one foe and as the election proved he was concerned about him for good reason. But if Trump was serious he should have let someone else authorised to do the investigating do the work. The CIA or the ambassador. As you say the optics were shocking. So much so the ambassador Bill Taylor (a fine man above reproach) was not shy in saying how concerned he was.
“Don’t believe everything you read in politics.”
CNN FFS…
CNN blah blah… Fox news blah blah.. Watch it, use the brain God gave you, then comment. Bill Taylor is a man to be respected. He knew what was going on and it shows. If you bothered to open your other eye you would see that.
For the moment your hypocrisy is blinding. I’ll pass on the sermon.
.
ROFLMAO.. from simple simon, that is great irony !!
“simon….blah, blah, blah, blah !!
ie…. a normal post from simple simon.
“Don’t believe everything you read in politics.”
That should read ‘Don’t believe anything you read in politics.’
Politicians (from left, right, center) will do, say, & promise anything/everything that will give them power/control & more self-aggrandizement, they are there for themselves not for anyone else, any wealth that manages to trickle down to the plebs, is clawed back later via taxes.
Cynical, Yes; cynicism comes from empirical data ( aka: age & experience ).
…and Taiwan and Hong Kong for the right price.
“Or maybe Biden has learned his lesson, 1979 was a long time ago.”
You owe me a new keyboard.The old one was wrecked by the spit that line caused.
Biden, and the Democrats, deserve the the dismissal of the Bourbons that Charles Louis Etienne, Chevalier de Panat, made in a 1796 letter to journalist Mallet du Pan: Personne n’est corrigé; personne n’a su ni rien oublier ni rien appendre. “Nobody has been corrected; no one has forgotten anything, nor have they understood anything.”
Sorry 🙂
Senators do not negotiate treaties, so this entire post is lying bullshit.
Only Presidents and their diplomat aides negotiate treaties.
Better look up the Constitution. The Senate’s role is strictly to ratify treaties negotiated by the President.
Umm, yes, the pro-Commie Senators told their Commie masters that they needn’t worry about their running dogs’ bleating about human rights.
Slow Joe and his fellow running dogs reassured their Commie paymasters that human rights abuses were no impediment to ratification of the treaties which the bosses wanted.
Please see the KGB supporting Teddy Kennedy and protecting him from any possible threat, after his treasonous sellout of Reagan.
Ah, so your theory is Biden visited Moscow in 1979 because he likes the weather?
C’mon man. Of course he will.
It is rather obvious that Biden is China’s puppet. Assorted deals that are in China’s interests, but not in the interests of the US or the rest of the world will be signed until the Military step in and declare Biden an imposter president who usurped power by fraud. It will be rather interesting when it transpires that Chinese influence was one of the numerous scams involved in the election fraud.
Just have to hope that the rumours are true about ultraviolet visible watermarks on the genuine ballots. This will mean that the Maricopa county audit will be that much faster. The fraud will be uncovered very quickly- too quickly for new false flag events and to marshall Antifa/ BLM Brownshirts to disrupt the count.
We live in interesting times.
Do note, the Elites (especially the banks that control currencies around the world) that are behind the Epic treachery in the world WILL crash the entire system as vengeance and because this is how they gain even more power and wealth. Best to get your cash out of the bank and buy assets that will not just disapear when the fiat currency system implodes.
Joe Biden’s ethics have been on display for years for anyone who bothers to read about him. Since he routinely demonstrates that has none, nothing can change for the better. He’s been lying and cheating for decades. Nothing new.
Yes, and small town America and what’s left of U.S. mfg. and the U.S. oil industry too.
10% for the big guy
That’s the Big Guy’s going price, isn’t it?
Now that Joe is president, his cut of the profits should go higher. No doubt his relatives are benefiting more now that he is president. Lots of new opportunities opening up for the Biden family.
The saddest part is that Sleepy Joe Senility is a puppet. It is the leadership of the Democrat Party that has abandoned the Uyghurs and human rights victims around the world.
The Dems were the party of slavery, the KKK, and Jim Crow. They have always been soft on Marxism, Fascism, and foreign dictators and autocrats. They have destroyed the American cities where they have ruled with rampant corruption for decades.
The fading away of Traitor Joe will change nothing. The wolves are in the henhouse. The trashing of America is well underway.
Just wondering whether the usa should get involved in an internal matter over there. What if china decides that the usa doesn’t take enough latin american migrants and does not take good care of the ones that do get in? Should that be a consideration in setting US immigration policy?
Chicom persecution of the Uyghurs is not the equivalent of the problems the U.S. is having on the southern U.S. border.
If the Chicoms voice an opinion about the U.S. southern border we will take it as an effort to distract from their horrendous treatment of the Uyghurs. We won’t be taking their advice.
So, just how long should moderation take?
I don’t know if you are complaining or just asking, but the moderators of this website do a fantastic job and they do it in a timely manner. Keep in mind that they are all volunteers who are doing it for the greater good, not for the money.
I wrote a reply to Chaamjamal over 24 hours ago. I simply need to know if the upload failed, or if moderation has taken issue with what I said, or if there is something else going on.
Is there a message sitting in moderation or not?
” Oh, the Dead wood stage is coming on over the Hill”.
“With corruption, and bribin making a heavy load, so”.
” Usual day”
“What can we say”?
“Silly old Joe, silly old Joe silly old Joe”
But, realistically, I bet most Americans don’t really care about the Uyghurs. We all have our own problems. Maybe we should stay out of the problems of other countries and only talk about issues that we need to resolve so we can get along, avoid war, and have trade in items we can’t produce ourselves. Telling other countries how to solve their internal problems only has those nations telling America about its own internal problems which are many.
I see nothing wrong with speaking out against a regime that murders and tortures innocent people. Mind my own business? Denouncing the murder of innocents *is* my business. It should be everyone’s business.
The world ought to be treating the Chicom leadership like the murderous barbarians they are.
The Chicoms won’t stop with just murdering the Uyghurs. How many people have been murdered by their deliberate Wuhan virus biological attack. Millions of people with many more to follow. The Chicom beligerence threatens many more lives.
Don’t speak about these things? That only encourages murderous dictators.
Doing business with the Chicoms is the equivalent of doing business with Adolf Hitler after having learned about the mass murders he committed.
Unfortunately, our glorious leadership seems to lean toward ignoring mass murder and doing business with Hitler. Hitler/Xi will be pleased with the Western appeasement.
If you don’t discourage bad behavior, then you get more of it. That applies to dictators and thugs tearing up the streets.
TIME: “The Free Market is Dead: What Will Replace It?”
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-free-market-is-dead-what-will-replace-it/ar-BB1g3Sfc?ocid=Peregrine
“We are on the cusp of a new era of broad-based prosperity in which our leaders are poised to more actively manage the American market.”
Something of a long and rambling article you linked to there, Joe. The basic principles of life always prevail no matter how long winded the explanation for a change in the paradigm is.
Normal people remain the most efficient at spending their own money. They do not want or need state control of that expenditure.
While that remains the case, all this blather about a state mandating spending and controlling incomes is just a new name for socialism.
Cultural Marxism is alive and active in politics, never let them forget we know they are there.
Does 10 lbs of dough make a big muffin?
Biden is going to sell-out the American people. What do you think he cares about the Uyghurs?
Hear no slaves, see no slaves.
Speaking of selling . . . would you buy a used car from the man picture above the title of the above article . . . just looking at his photo, that is?
If forced, at the point of a gun, to buy a used car from Biden or Trump, knowing that they both needed the sale to make a month …
I think I would buy, from Trump, the cheapest car on the lot and walk away without the car (to save the title and registration costs). Trump would use the money to improve the car lot. Biden would use the money to ‘put sawdust in the transmissions’ in the hopes of selling more crap.
Will Bai-den sell out (fill in the blank)?
Of course that’s all he as ever done. He is a professional sell out.
