Iranian connections to the Obama cabinet — specifically Sec. of State John Kerry & V.P. Joe Biden. BOTH of their sons operated the Paradigm Hedge Fund inside an illegally owned (since FBI seized) Iranian office building in NYC. Now, the SAME sketchy individuals are running a Biden Super PAC!

Recently, a new super PAC has been set up for Biden’s presidential run. The head of the PAC is Larry Rasky, a registered foreign government agent of Azerbaijan (The Federalist).

Politico reported in August that Rasky also explored going into business with Hunter Biden and James Biden, the former vice president’s younger brother. At one point, Rasky planned to provide a million dollars towards the Bidens’ purchase of Paradigm Global Advisors, a hedge fund (Politico).

“At the time, the senator [Joe Biden] was just months away from both assuming the chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and launching his second presidential bid. According to the executive, James Biden made it clear he viewed the fund as a way to take money from rich foreigners who could not legally give money to his older brother or his campaign account. ‘We’ve got investors lined up in a line of 747s filled with cash ready to invest in this company,’ the executive remembers James Biden saying.” (Politico)

In 2009, DOJ says Paradigm offices (Biden Hedge Fund) owned by individuals helping Iran evade sanctions. By 2017, feds contend that the building “served as a front for the Iranian government and as a gateway for millions of dollars to be funneled to Iran in clear violation of U.S. sanctions laws.” (fbi.gov)

A few years later, Biden and Kerry’s sons went into business yet again. In 2014, the U.S. issued $1.5B in (now missing) aid to Ukraine. At the time, records show Burisma made 18 payments of $166,666/month to Rosemont Seneca Bohai for “consulting services”. These payments were split by Archer Heinz and Hunter Biden, kids of then Sec. of State John Kerry & V.P. Biden. (Reuters)

{ENDNOTE ON IRAN & AZERBAIJAN SHARED HISTORY: Iran and Azerbaijan share, to a large extent, the same history, religion, ethnicity, and culture. The territory of what is now called the Republic of Azerbaijan was only separated from Iran in the first half of the 19th century, through the Russo-Persian Wars. Iran and Azerbaijan are furthermore the only official Shia Muslim nations in the world where the vast majority of the people are Shia Muslims. They have respectively the highest and second highest Shia population percentage in the world, as well as the history of Shi’ism which is rooted in both nations from exactly the same moment in history. (Wikipedia)}
