... joins board of Ukraines largest gas producer http://bsnews.info/farce-complete-us-vice-presidents-son-joins-board-ukraines-largest-gas-producer/ It should come as no surprise that one of the architects of the Ukrainian tragedy, US Vice President Biden, is due to benefit (indirectly) from the violent overthrow of the democratically elected president. Its becoming obvious that the global elite believe that they can act with total impunity. They understand that the western corporate media will never question, let alone report on, the obvious conflict of interest. They no longer feel the need to disguise efforts to gobble up Ukraines natural resources. The rabbit hole of corruption runs deeper by the day. The map below shows the regions of Ukraine where natural gas is available. Is it any wonder the western political and media establishments denounced the referendums in Crimea and and the east of Ukraine as illegitimate? Burisma Holdings, Ukraines largest private gas producer, has expanded its Board of Directors by bringing on Mr. R Hunter Biden as a new director. R. Hunter Biden will be in charge of the Holdings legal unit and will provide support for the Company among international organizations. On his new appointment, he commented: Burismas track record of innovations and industry leadership in the field of natural gas means that it can be a strong driver of a strong economy in Ukraine. As a new member of the Board, I believe that my assistance in consulting the Company on matters of transparency, corporate governance and responsibility, international expansion and other priorities will contribute to the economy and benefit the people of Ukraine. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Burisma Holdings, Mr. Alan Apter, noted: The companys strategy is aimed at the strongest concentration of professional staff and the introduction of best corporate practices, and were delighted that Mr. Biden is joining us to help us achieve these goals.

He is one of the co-founders and a managing partner of the investment advisory company Rosemont Seneca Partners, as well as chairman of the board of Rosemont Seneca Advisors. He is an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown Universitys Masters Program in the School of Foreign Service. Mr. Biden has experience in public service and foreign policy.

Company Background: Burisma Holdings is a privately owned oil and gas company with assets in Ukraine and operating in the energy market since 2002. To date, the company holds a portfolio with permits to develop fields in the Dnieper-Donets, the Carpathian and the Azov-Kuban basins. In 2013, the daily gas production grew steadily and at year-end amounted to 11.6 thousand BOE (barrels of oil equivalent incl. gas, condensate and crude oil), or 1.8 million m3 of natural gas. The company sells these volumes in the domestic market through traders, as well as directly to final consumers.
But this is old news. The owner of Burisma Holdings is the criminal Kolomoisky, and Hunter Biden was given the position over a half a year ago. Most of the atrocities in Eastern and Southern Ukraine were committed by Kolomoisky's paramilitary armies such as: Dnieper, Azor, and Aydar in order to ethnically cleanse the area and maintain control. Kolomoisky destroyed Slaviansk because they objected to fracking, and now with the drop in oil prices, it's not even profitable anymore.
Another thread the Russophobic shills will avoid like the plague. They find facts like this repellent.
