Opening Statement by Mr. Anthony Bobulinski T***scribed Interview Before the
Committee on Oversight and Accountability United States House of RepresentaRves Commi%ee on the Judiciary
United States House of RepresentaRves
February 13, 2024

Chairmen, Ranking Members, and Members of Congress, Thank you for this opportunity to speak with you. I am happy that the American people will finally hear the facts and evidence that I have been trying to outline for over four years, all backed up and supported by emails, texts, documents, records, pictures, and other evidence. The facts we are going to discuss today are important for America's national security, and I can only hope that everyone in this room and all representatives and officers of the U.S. Government take them seriously.

My name is Tony Bobulinski. I am a proud American ciCzen who has honorably served the United States in several capaciCes. For over six years, I was an officer in the United States Navy’s elite Naval Nuclear Power Training Command as a decorated Master Training Specialist Instructor. I later served as the Command's Chief Technology Officer, where I held a Q security clearance from the Department of Energy and from the NaConal Security Agency. When I leS NNPTC, I was the number-one-ranked Direct Input Officer (DIO) in the enCre command in my final Navy Fitness Report, or FITREP.
I am here today out of duty to God and country in a nonparCsan manner with only one party in mind, the party I served with honor and graCtude: the United States of America. While I have made a few campaign contributions over the years to Democrats such as Congressman Ro Khanna, a member of the Oversight CommiYee, I am not a poliCcal person. I come from a family with a long history of disCnguished service in our naCon’s military. I grew up the son of a career Naval Officer, CDR Robert Bobulinski, whom I loved dearly. I could not be prouder of my father’s long and disCnguished service to our great naCon. His father, Alex Bobulinski, served our country in the Air Force for four years. I am also the grandson of Army Intelligence Officer, Col. Fred B. Keller Jr., who, for more than thirty-seven years, fearlessly defended the United States all over the world and served in three different wars. My only brother, reCred CDR Mike Bobulinski, is a twenty-eight year combat-serving Naval Flight Officer, and my only sister, Stacia Bobulinski, has spent the last eighteen years serving U.S. military veterans across the country through the Veterans Administration to demonstrate her and our family’s graCtude to everyone who has risked their lives defending America.

I share my extensive U.S. military roots and background with you because they are the lens through which I view this excepConal country and my responsibility to it. My deep commitment to America is also the reason I have elected to place myself and my family in the public eye to tell the t***h before you today. That comes at a great cost to my privacy and to my personal security and that of my family, among other things. However, I am happy to pay that cost. I am blessed to have been born and to grow up in the greatest country on earth. I take that seriously. Having been to over fifty countries around the world, I say that with the highest confidence.

For nearly four years, I have tried to tell the American people the t***h about serious corrupCon at the very top of their government. In return, I have been falsely accused of being a purveyor of “Russian disinformation” and a political surrogate. My continuous efforts to inform the American people of the facts have been actively suppressed by both the United States Government and the so-called “mainstream” media.

I want to be crystal clear: from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was “the Brand” being sold by the Biden family. His family’s foreign influence peddling operation – from China to Ukraine and elsewhere – sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government. Joe Biden was more than a participant in and beneficiary of his family’s business; he was an enabler, despite being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.

The only reason any of these internaConal business t***sacCons took place – with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the Biden family – was because Joe Biden was in high office. The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period. Other key players have made this point clear as well: H****r B***n himself has adamantly stated it in a variety of communicaCons, as did another Biden family business associate, Devon Archer, in his testimony last year. Foreign nationals on the other side of these t***sacCons – including from China, Ukraine and Romania – have also explained how and why these t***sactions took place. Once again, I would call that extensive evidence.

The Chinese C*******t Party through its surrogate, China Energy Company Limited, or “CEFC” – a CCP-linked Chinese energy conglomerate – successfully sought to infiltrate and compromise Joe Biden and the Obama-Biden White House. This process started in the Fourth Quarter of 2015 and conCnued through when Joe Biden leS office in January 2017 to March of 2018 when CEFC Chairman Ye was detained for corrupCon in China, never to be seen again. Note that on October 21, 2015, Joe Biden announced that he would not seek the Presidency in 2016. It is not a coincidence that CEFC's aggressive approach to the Biden family happened around the same Cme. It is also not a coincidence that CEFC used the Biden family’s weakest link, H****r B***n, and the promise of large sums of money to the tune of tens of millions of dollars initially, and eventually the profits from invesCng billions of dollars in the United States and around the world.

Before we begin this in-depth testimony under penalty of perjury and charges of Obstruction of Congress, I would like to highlight a few critically important facts:

1. Joe Biden was aware of the CEFC t***saction, enabled it and had a constitutional responsibility and obligation to the American people to shut it down before it began. This is because CEFC had been identified as a known surrogate of the Chinese C*******t Party by the U.S. Government and prosecutors in the Southern District of New York as far back as 2016, possibly earlier. I would encourage Congress to gather all of the exact facts and dates. It is clear to me that alarm bells should have been going off in the Obama-Biden White House and that Joe Biden should have been aware that his own administration had red-f**gged CEFC as a tool of the Chinese C*******t Party. This should have made any business t***saction with CEFC a non-starter.

I personally met with Joe Biden in Los Angeles in May of 2017 mulCple Cmes to discuss the broad contours of our business dealings. The only reason Joe Biden met with me privately during the Milken Institute Global Conference and seated me at his head table was because I was a business associate of the Biden family.

2. Joe Biden’s immediate family members were enriched to the tune of tens of millions of dollars from some of our most dangerous adversaries, including the Chinese C*******t Party and players from Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan and other foreign nations and entities. It is my educated belief dating back to Q clearance briefings I received in the Navy and continuing through recent discussions with experts, that under U.S. corruption laws, political office holders can be held as responsible as the immediate family members who are receiving money directly. This makes common sense and Americans understand this. The facts we are going to discuss today appear to me to present disturbing evidence, which these committees should thoroughly investigate, with respect to possible violations by Joe Biden of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity statutes, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

3. The Biden family–Joe’s son H****r and his brother Jim-knowingly and aggressively defrauded me as the CEO of SinoHawk Holdings and as a member of Oneida Holdings, LLC at the end of July 2017. They put Joe Biden and the rest of the Biden family smack in the middle of a $9 Billion t***saction between Russia and China involving Qatar (specifically, the Qatar Investment Authority), and helped CEFC navigate through various issues before Patrick Ho, a CEFC execuCve, was arrested for corruption in New York in November 2017. Joe Biden’s status as the head of the family served an enforcement role – for example, when H****r stated deliberately that his father Joe was sittng right next to him while demanding immediate payment of the $10 million CEFC had committed to the Biden family, as well as when H****r demanded CEFC circumvent SinoHawk Holdings. The Biden family violated their fiduciary duties to SinoHawk and Oneida as they enriched themselves at the CEFC trough.

4. United States law enforcement appears to have been singularly unwilling to speak with me or to hear the facts we will be discussing today. I have never been contacted to provide testimony nor asked to speak with anyone connected with Joe Biden’s administration, including his Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, or local law enforcement. That includes U.S. AYorney David Weiss for the District of Delaware or any of the several grand juries I now know were convened after my name became publicly known. On October 23, 2020, I voluntarily walked into the Washington Field Office of the FBI with several phones containing years of encrypted communications between me and numerous members of the Biden family and their associates. That conversation, which was subject to False Statement statutes, lasted many hours, and was never followed up upon by anyone in government or law enforcement in any way. Rather, when the House Ways and Means Committee recently released the FBI 302 report of that meeCng, H****r B***n’s lawyers laughably tried to use a single note-taking error by a junior FBI agent to accuse me, falsely, of lying about my attendance at a meeting with H****r B***n and CEFC in Miami. I was crystal clear to the agent in my interview that I was physically in Miami during that time for other things and did not attend the actual CEFC meeting. H****r B***n’s lawyers should focus their energy on the facts and the extensive indictments H****r is fighting versus creating smoke screens and distractions with their empty threats. I have only told the t***h, I continue to tell the t***h, I have the facts and, as we will discuss today, I also have the receipts to back them up.

I sit here before two of the premiere committees of Congress: Oversight and Judiciary. I implore each and every one of you to remove your partisan hats today and focus on one party: the United States of America. I hope your focus will be on a thorough and extensive investigation and exposure of all of the facts and evidence - and on answering the question of how we as a country allowed the White House to be infiltrated by our most existential adversary, the Chinese C*******t Party. I also hope you will hold the complicit parties, including Joe Biden, accountable for their actions, as well as enact new laws that prevent this kind of deep corruption from ever happening again.

God Bless America! I am ready for your questions.

Early last year, or not sure, maybe it was in 2022 sometime, there were two of those phishing "ads" in two different threads, posted about one minute apart.

You know the kind of ads:
"I earn $25,000 per week, and I only have to work ten minutes a day......blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....and I will share with you my incredible secret of success, so you too can fire your boss and begin bringing in the kind of money you've always deserved, but no boss will pay you, because you're better than your boss."

They were from the same "new user" who had joined that same morning. They were the only posts from that "new user".

I sent a PM to ADMIN, giving the threads where the ads were showing, and asked if that newly joined new user was legit.
In about 20 or 30 minutes, those ads were nowhere to be found in UHH, and that user profile could not be located.

A proper ADMIN move if there ever was one!

Good dvice Bill, and I completely agree on the Samsung T7. Much faster than a spinning disk, more reliable (essentially shock proof) and small/light.


I had a T7, but it was far too easy to misplace due to it's very small size and grey color.

It does depend to some extent on your needs. I agree with BurkPhoto that OWC or Macsales.com is a good source. I purchased two ThunderBay 8s with 42 TB of spinning disks each, and I use GoodSync to keep them in sync. One is in my office and the other in a concrete room in the basement. All are connected directly to my Mac Studio via fiber optic cables purchased from B&H.

The ThunderBay 8s are set up as RAID 5s.

But it has been shown that SSDs do degrade over time.

Instead, start looking for textures, tones, contrast, light and shadow, shapes. Sometimes you want to remove the distraction of color - such as in much of street photography.

You've already discovered how similar tones in color become blah in b&w. You've dabbled with color filters in pp, so you've seen how those affect the result. Study "tonal range" further.

If you're shooting in raw, does your camera have a setting that will display the image in black and white (in-camera only)? That can help you learn to see. Sometimes squinting reduces color saturation - that was a tip I learned with b&w film

This was found at a local creek. Isolated in Photoshop and had the contrast bumped up with a curves adjustment layer.
