Austrian Court Case Reveals More Evidence of Biden, Democrat Corruption in Ukraine

One of the most viewed clips from Donald Trump’s recent interview with Elon Musk was the words that President Joe Biden deliberately used Ukraine to push the world towards World War III. At this point, one cannot discount the possibility that the current occupants of the White House could initiate some global catastrophe event in order to divert attention from its many corrupt activities. In fact, the President is facing yet another obstacle in September in Los Angeles, where a court will resume the federal case regarding his son Hunter Biden’s non-payment of taxes, where he could receive up to 17 years in prison if found guilty on all nine charges including three felonies, and six misdemeanors. This will almost certainly have a negative impact on the Democrats’ presidential campaign. On top of that, following the elections in November, Joe Biden himself will not only lose his presidential position, but may also become the subject of numerous anti-corruption investigations. Will they try to divert attention to another major crisis, to save the Biden clan’s legacy?

Moreover, explosive new material shedding light on Biden family corruption in Ukraine has emerged which could shake Washington at its foundations, and in crease the likelihood that Biden will eventually face criminal charges. For this to have any impact though, it may require two things to happen: a GOP victory in November, and the subsequent political will to follow through with a major investigation into the issue.


SPECIAL REPORT
21st Century Wire 

New revelations of U.S. government corruption are in fact featured in the text of an Austrian court ruling – including the testimony of top Ukrainian officials including Deputy Prime Minister, Prosecutor General and head of the Security Service of Ukraine – each vignette describing how an organized conspiracy lead by Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland and other senior Democrat officials, executed a coup d’état in Ukraine, and proceeded to directly interfere in the affairs of a sovereign state by placing their own people in key positions, as well as blackmailing Ukrainian authorities to remove all ‘undesirable’ members from the Ukrainian government. The new U.S. shadow government in Ukraine had effectively taken over the management of key branches including law enforcement and judicial bodies in Kiev in order to prosecute and push-out out of the country those businessmen and politicians who could prevent it from exerting external control over the country’s political and economic processes. A separate aspect of this interference was the Biden family’s personal earnings from “influence peddling” in Ukraine and blocking any attempts to investigate these crimes by the local justice system.

This past summer, the world witnessed Joe Biden going into cognitive meltdown during a globally televised presidential debate. It was nothing short of a national embarrassment as the President, who was already haemorrhaging support, became visibly confused and was unable to respond to even basic questions. The subsequent cover-up of his mental decline also demonstrated how the Democratic establishment were desperate to prop-up the incumbent heading into November. This brings us back to the fundamental question: why the enormous effort to keep Biden in power? As with the 2020 race, Biden and the party operatives were still motivated to try and reoccupy the White House January, in order to continue the cover-up of what is now a well-documented stockpile of evidence showing U.S. government corruption relating to Ukraine. This has become an imperative of the deep state, haunted by the fear a possible Republican victory which could trigger a broad investigation into the Biden and Democrat corruption in that country, as well as the role of numerous other top U.S. officials in taking over the organs of state power in Kiev.

Throughout the Ukrainian media and pro-Democrat outlets in the United States, you will rarely see any stories mention Joe Biden’s influence on Ukrainian politics, his influence on Ukrainian courts and prosecutors, and his and Washington’s ‘external management’ the Ukrainian state affairs. While these topics have long been taboo in both Ukraine and the U.S., the disturbing details of Biden and the Democrats’ corrupt activities have actually been made public in a court from a country whose judicial system still has an impeccable reputation – Austria. Here the accusations against Biden were not just voiced in testimony – they were actually accepted by the court as evidence, and it was on that basis that the Austrian court rendered have its decision contesting the extradition of a prominent Ukrainian businessman.

Just this week, the U.S. government has been forced to admit that the former VP’s son Hunter Biden did in fact lobby Washington writing to then US ambassador to Rome, John Phillips, in 2016 asking for help in securing an energy contract in Italy for Ukrainian firm Burmisa Holdings. The damning disclosure was made following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request via the New York Times and it confirms how the Bidens used their political clout in aid of their various business activities. This is far from an isolated incident, but it serves as yet another solid point of evidence outlining the systematic corruption which has been orchestrated between Washington and Kiev.

Amid recent legal proceedings in Vienna, the contents of these unique documents testifying to Biden’s involvement in the establishment of external governance over Ukraine became known. Among them are the full texts of the Austrian court decisions and the texts of the testimonies of top Ukrainian officials. The implications of these testimonies are serious.

What prompted the collection of testimonies of leading Ukrainian politicians and officials from various political camps was the trial over the US request for the extradition of Ukrainian businessman Dmytro Firtash from Austria. Firtash had been detained in Vienna on March 12, 2014 – with a record bail of $174 million, where U.S. demanded his extradition, but on April 30, 2015, the Vienna Criminal Land Court ruled that it was inadmissible, acknowledging that in two years the U.S. could not provide any solid evidence of Firtash’s guilt, and the court also acknowledged the blatant political overtones of the case.

Firtash’s case is now more than 10 years old, and the Ukrainian businessman has remained in Austria all this time, but the United States has not given up trying to extradite him. Over the past 10 years, several more court hearings on this issue have been held in Austria, the last of which took place on June 14, 2023, and did not end in the U.S. favor.

The American pressure on Firtash was part of a wider operation which began in the run-up to the U.S.-back coup d’etat during the Maidan uprising. The end of 2013 marked a period of sharp intensification of the US interest in Ukraine, which resulted in the organization of mass street protests, culminating in the flight of the then Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, followed by the coming to power of a new regime in Kiev fully controlled by the U.S. Democratic establishment. It is clear that that Washington viewed big Ukrainian business as an potential obstacle to the Obama Administration’s plans to essentially take manual control of the Ukrainian state.

It should be noted that, then Vice President Joe Biden, the person in charge of Washington’s Ukrainian portfolio, was at the epicenter of these events and was clearly exploring numerous opportunities to make money in Ukraine. In addition, by this time the Biden had already arranged for his son Hunter to join the Board of Directors of the Burisma gas production company (joining in April 2014), and Joe Biden himself took an interest in the fate of one of Ukraine’s largest financial institutions, Privat Bank, and was also working to appoint his personal energy advisor, Amos Hochstein, to the Board of Directors of Naftogaz Ukrainy.

The documents and testimony that formed the basis of the Austrian court’s decisions contain numerous references to illegal actions taken by Joe Biden and, more generally, by Democrat party operatives in Ukraine.

This testimony states, for example, that in 2013-2014:

Biden, Nuland, Turchynov and Yatsenyuk developed various alternative plans with the sole purpose of effecting a change of political power to a pro-U.S. opposition.”

“The U.S. actively sought to bring to power Ukrainian politicians Turchynov and Yatsenyuk who were acceptable to them, who were to realize the interests of U.S. policy, to the point of threatening to physically eliminate dissenters to ensure the transition of power to Yatsenyuk, Turchynov and others,” the court documents state.

The court documents also recall the leaked telephone conversation in February 2014 between then Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Victoria Nuland, and then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Jeffrey Pyatt, which the judges note demonstrates the extent of U.S. influence on key political development in Ukraine.

Witnesses also recall repeated threats from top Democrats, particularly by Victoria Nuland. Speaking about the meeting between Nuland and Yanukovych on December 11, 2013, witnesses stated that, “Nuland had with her a folder with documents containing information about bank accounts and property values outside of Ukraine [of Ukrainian government officials and businessmen]. She began to threaten immediate sanctions against all of these individuals and said that all of these foreign assets would be frozen.”

The former head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Valentyn Nalyvaychenko, also recounted Victoria Nuland’s leadership role in implementing all of Ukraine’s important foreign policy decisions since late 2013. Being in “direct and constant contact with the Americans,” the new Ukrainian leadership, she effectively selected the new leadership (Turchynov and Yatsenyuk) and then demanded that Nalyvaychenko, as the newly appointed head of the SBU, take immediate measures to eliminate or limit Firtash’s influence.”

Turchynov also demanded to fabricate a case against Firtash personally and against his media company Inter, and even to take measures toban Firtash himself from entering Ukraine, control him and limit his influence in Ukraine.

The U.S. targeting of Firtash serves as a prime example of the degree to which Washington has mobilized its political and legal resources to shut down any potential opposition to its post-coup government in Ukraine. But the court proceedings of his unusual case have further confirmed the scope and scale of U.S. and Biden involvement in Ukrainian affairs.

Speaking about Joe Biden, the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Viktor Shokin, directly described the influence of U.S. politicians, and specifically that of Biden, on Ukrainian politics and the justice system. According to his testimony, the former U.S. Vice President, along with former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Ukrainian Interior Minister Avakov, took steps to prevent Firtash from returning to Ukraine after he won his first extradition trial and was about to return home.

.
During this period I attended meetings with Poroshenko along with the heads of other security agencies. Based on the outcome of these meetings, I believe that the initiative and the main motivation for preventing Firtash from entering Ukraine came more from US administration officials, especially Biden. It was not a secret. Everyone knew about it, and the media reported that they were behind the intense and aggressive warnings not to return Firtash to Ukraine,”
Shokin said.

Shokin also said that at the behest of the Americans, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry publicly announced that three criminal cases were underway against Firtash, and that Firtash would be arrested upon his return to Ukraine. At the same time, Shokin pointed out that in reality there was no evidence or materials that confirm Firtash’s complicity in any criminal acts. And when it became clear that there were no grounds for his arrest, U.S. officials and the Ukrainian Interior Ministry changed their rhetoric and started saying that Firtash’s arrest in Ukraine would take place at the request of the U.S. Department of Justice. However, according to Shokin, there was absolutely no evidence on record that could justify such a request.

Also from Shokin’s testimony:

“It turned out that the above actions did not shake Dmitry Firtash’s determination to return to the country, and therefore it was organized and authorized by the Ukrainian authorities that a detachment of far-right militia members of the Azov battalion threatened Firtash with the publication of footage of masked members of the armed detachment in paramilitary uniforms patrolling the airport waiting for Firtash.”

In other words, if the U.S. and the Ukrainian authorities under its control really wanted to bring Firtash to justice, they would not have created a negative information campaign around his possible return. Conversely, Firtash’s arrival home would have forced the U.S. to produce sufficient evidence of his guilt, only Biden and Nuland never had any such evidence.

Shokin explicitly calls this incident a case of U.S. officials clearly interfering in Ukraine’s sovereign affairs – in order to achieve U.S. goals and objectives – and he explicitly names Biden.

He added that Fitash’s plans to return to Ukraine’s political scene were in fact thwarted by Biden to such an extent that Ukraine even closed its airspace to private planes in November 2015: “It is clear to me that certain individuals in President Obama’s administration, particularly US Vice President Joe Biden directly, manipulated Ukraine’s top leadership on baseless false premises in order to prevent Firtash from returning to Ukraine, judging by how concerned they were that he would return to public life in Ukraine.”

Another Biden-related episode that the Austrian court heard concerned the well-known dismissal of Viktor Shokin from the post of Prosecutor General of Ukraine, which the world media would also still be silent about if Biden himself had not publicly boasted about the case. “It also follows from Shokin’s testimony that he refused to drop a criminal investigation against the gas production company Burisma Holdings, on whose board Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden served. When he did not fulfill this wish, he was removed from office on Biden’s initiative. – noted in the ruling of the Higher Land Court of Vienna of June 14, 2023.

Regarding Biden’s financial blackmail to protect his son’s corrupt energy firm, Shokin’s testimony for the Higher Land Court of Vienna reads as follows:

President Poroshenko asked me to resign because of pressure from the US presidential administration, particularly from Vice President Joe Biden. Biden threatened to stop providing Ukraine with USD 1 billion in subsidies until I was removed from my position… The reason for this was that it was Obama administration officials, and especially Joe Biden, who told the heads of Ukraine’s law enforcement system how and against whom to investigate cases… I did not fulfill their will (with regard to Zlochevsky, in particular), and therefore I had to be removed from my position. This was not patriotism on Poroshenko’s part…, he was obeying the demands… because of both political-economic and personal interest of the US Vice President Biden”.

Conclusion

The Austrian court testimonies have highlighted the clear role of the United States in micromanaging the government of Ukraine, and the involvement of top U.S. officials in schemes which have been siphoning money out of that country. In particular, it found that, “The political and strategic objectives of the United States and its measures to intervene in Ukraine can be confirmed by numerous official and unofficial documents. These include, for example, the President’s published National Security Strategies, U.S. laws and other legal acts that relate to Ukraine and U.S. financial support for Ukraine with the intention of influencing the policy and party landscape in Ukraine.”

In turn, the actions of Washington against the Ukrainian businessmen gave the court reason to question the professed democratic principles of the United States, before labeling it a country with “sham traditions of democracy and legal statehood.”

Based on these statements, it’s clear that Austria is now aware of the role of the U.S. Democrat top brass, including Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland, the U.S. ambassadors to Ukraine, the leadership of the U.S. Department of Justice and others, in criminal activity. These individuals took advantage of their position not only to carry out a coup d’état in a sovereign state, but also imposing manual control over the political and economic processes through blackmail and coercive methods.

Depending on the results of the upcoming U.S. presidential elections in November, we could see a larger investigation into these illicit activities.

But given that all of these processes could have been driven by the Bidens’ trivial material interests, American justice after the election will require real political will to quickly consolidate a lot of available evidence and complete the current investigations against the President and his son. The result could be a court decision, which will record at least the following facts: building a system of personal earnings of the Bidens in Ukraine, using their opportunities for influence peddling and blackmail, involvement in schemes of shadow payments and direct money laundering, misuse of American taxpayers’ money under loud slogans about strengthening democracy in Ukraine. Perhaps the most serious accusation against Biden, would be his attempts to provoke large-scale armed conflicts in the world in order to divert attention from he and his family’s corrupt activities – as Musk and Trump intimated, “pushing the world toward World War III.”
