[The Federalist] Planned Parenthood is under fire for harvesting organs for sale from the babies they abort, but the journalistic project uncovering their participation in fetal organ trafficking has brought another nefarious aspect to the organ trade.
Remember what Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains' Vice President and Medical Director, Dr. Savita Ginde, said in her meeting with people she believed to be purchasers of organs?
She says, "Sometimes, if we get, if someone delivers before we get to see them for a procedure, then we are intact." According to the Center for Medical Progress, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains "does not use digoxin or other feticide in its 2nd trimester procedures" so "any intact deliveries before an abortion are potentially born-alive infants under federal law."
While mainstream journalists continue to be reluctant about pursuing angles to this story, the journalist behind the project shared why he believes one of the companies that purchases aborted baby parts is desperate to keep him from publishing the story:
Remember, the Los Angeles Superior Court issued a limited, temporary restraining order against the Center for Medical Progress. Under the terms of the order, the non-profit organization is banned from releasing video of a May lunch attended by three StemExpress officials. Daleiden says about that:
In a meeting with their top leadership where their leadership admitted that they sometimes get fully intact fetuses shipped to their laboratory from the abortion clinics they work with, and that could be prima facie evidence of born alive infants. And so that's why they're trying to suppress that videotape and they're very scared of it.
The videotaped admission of this receipt of fully intact fetuses is what Stem Express is fighting so hard to suppress, Daleiden says. Whether they're successful or not, now we may have a better understanding of why they're trying to get the courts to keep this information hidden. Liberators' stories...
There were about a dozen bodies in the dirty boxcar, men and women alike. They had gone without food for so long that their dead wrists were broomsticks tipped with claws....
Someone broke the silence with a curse and then with a roar the men started for the camp on the double...the men were plain fighting mad. They went down that road without any regard for cover or concealment. No one was afraid, not after those boxcars.
--British officer Peter Coombs, in a letter to his wife
2- Sneaky videos. We wouldn't have said those things if we had known the camera was running.
3- Edited videos. The videos make it sound like we were selling the parts of a chopped-up baby, but in fact we were donating the chopped-up baby parts in exchange for a negotiable amount of expenses. All the difference in the world.
4- Hey, you know, you can't make an omelet without breakin' some eggs.
5- Cue Mick: "Please allow me to introduce myself..."

Please do not take my lack of posting on this subject as anything less than absolute fucking rage.
[WAPO] State Department investigators concluded this year that Huma Abedin, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton's closest aides, was overpaid by nearly $10,000 because of violations of rules governing vacation and sick leave during her tenure as an official in the department.
The finding -- which Abedin has formally contested -- emerged publicly Friday after Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) sent letters to Secretary of State John F. Kerry and others seeking more information about an investigation into possible "criminal" conduct by Abedin concerning her pay.
The letters also sought the status of an inquiry into whether Abedin had violated conflict-of-interest laws related to her special employment situation, which allowed her to work simultaneously for the State Department, the Clinton Foundation and a private firm with close ties to the Clintons.
The finding that Abedin, a longtime Clinton confidante who now serves as vice chairwoman of her presidential campaign, had improperly collected taxpayer money could prove damaging to Clinton's candidacy, as Republicans charge that government rules were routinely bent to benefit Clinton and her aides. Appears the Boerboels may have been set loose.
[Wash Times] The U.S. intelligence community is bracing for the possibility that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's private email account contains hundreds of revelations of classified information from spy agencies and is taking steps to contain any damage to national security, according to documents and interviews Thursday.
The top lawmakers on the House and Senate intelligence committee have been notified in recent days that the extent of classified information on the Hildebeest's private email server was likely far more extensive than the four emails publicly acknowledged last week as containing some sensitive spy agency secrets.
A U.S. official directly familiar with the notification, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity, said the notification of possibly hundreds of additional emails with classified secrets came from the State Department Freedom of Information Act office to the Office of Inspector General for the Director of National Intelligence.
The U.S. official said the intelligence community has been informed that secret information had been contained in some of Mrs. Clinton's private emails that originated from the FBI, the DNI and the CIA as well as a spy satellite agency. It is believed the 30,000 emails remain on a thumb drive in the possession of Mrs. Clinton's private attorney, David Kendall.
The official said the intelligence community's first response was to take steps to secure the handling of remaining 30,000 emails and make sure they were handled on top-secret servers to avoid any further breaches, and then to assess any damage to national security from the insecure handling and release of information already in some of the publicly disseminated emails.
"Containment first, then a damage assessment is how this must be handled," the official said. "Containment" is doomed before the effort begins. Let's just move on to the Damage Assessment. Shouldn't last more than 4-5 years, once begun.
[Dhaka Tribune] A non-government organization has allegedly disappeared after collecting about Tk4.5 crore
...about a buck thirty-nine in real money...
from various clients in Hajiganj upazila of Chandpur.
Al-Arafat Environment Development Foundation (AEDF), with a registration no S 584/(85)06, began its operation in 2006 on the first floor of Talukdar building in Hajiganj bazar.
Tempting people with a scheme to double their deposit without interest as per the Islamic sharia, the foundation collected money from villagers, especially women and migrant workers. In the beginning they followed up with their promise and gave interest to some people to gain trust.
After few months, the Executive Director of the foundation Ibrahim Khalil opened up a factory to manufacture plastic pipes. He also urged others to buy shares of his Rupa Plastic factory.
However, it was a brave man who first ate an oyster... Ibrahim left Bangladesh in March of this year for a so called visit to five countries. In his absence, the Managing Director of the foundation Azad Mazumdar continued the money collection.
Mizanur Rahman, a resident of Borokul union, said: "When I was working in Kuwait, my wife made a fixed deposit worth Tk1.18 lakh for six years with the foundation. Now they are supposed to give me back Tk2.36 lakh but they have been avoiding me. Today when I came to visit the office, I was told it no longer existed."
Abu Taleb, a resident of the same union, said his wife opened a monthly deposit scheme for Tk200. "Now I don't know where they are. Not only my wife, many people from our village had fallen victim."
He further said someone named Krishna from the organization collected money from more than 200 people in his village. "The amount will be about Tk1 crore. In the same way he collected money from Dherra village, Borokul, Bolakhal, Mokimabad, Enayetpur, Sudiya, Urpur, Rampur, Kochua, Rampur, Deshgaon and other places."

[Times of Israel] Members of Osama Bin Laden's family were among the victims in the crash of a private jet in Britain, the Saudi embassy in London said Saturday in a message of condolences.
Four people died when the Saudi Arabia-registered plane plowed into a car auction site and burst into flames in southern England on Friday. Britain's Daily Mail reported that bin Laden's stepmother and half-sister were believed to be among the dead.
Local police said the pilot and three passengers died when the Phenom 300 jet attempted to land at Blackbushe Airport in Hampshire and that no one was injured on the ground.
The Saudi ambassador "offered his condolences to the sons of the late Mohammed bin Laden and their relations for the grave incident of the crash of the plane carrying members of the family at Blackbushe airport," read a statement posted on the embassy's official Twitter account.
It did not confirm the identities of those killed. The embassy also said it would work with British authorities to investigate the incident and repatriate the bodies for burial in Saudi Arabia.
[Rooters] Donald Trump is staking his run for U.S. president in part on a vow to protect American jobs. But this month, one of his companies, the elite Mar-a-Lago Club resort in Florida, applied to import 70 foreign workers to serve as cooks, wait staff and cleaners.
A Reuters analysis of U.S. government data reveals that this is business as usual in the New York property magnate's empire. Also reveals Trump follows existing laws, but that simple fact means nothing to Rooters or other media smear merchants.
Trump owns companies that have sought to import at least 1,100 foreign workers on temporary visas since 2000, according to U.S. Department of Labor data reviewed by Reuters. Most of the applications were approved, the data show.
Nine companies majority-owned by Trump have sought to bring in foreign waitresses, cooks, vineyard workers and other laborers on temporary work-visa programs administered by the Labor Department.

Not to be confused with the American Chamber of Commerce that has worked with the Beltway Party to import literally tens of millions of peons illegals.

Trump may or may not be the answer to what ails this country, but I'm long past the point of expecting our candidates to be Simon Pure paragons.
I only care if they keep the promises I want them to keep and are effective at their jobs.
That's how the left operates and it's past time we stopped letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Once again, this doesn't necessarily mean Trump is the answer; I just hope we no longer fall into that sucker's game of applying a white glove test to our own side, even as the left shoves criminals and traitors down our throats.

It depends on the wage.
I guess each immigrant worker should pay (by this i mean the empoyer should guarantee) around 20,000 USD per year in tax for them to break even as an immigrant.
Why isn't immigration auctioned? It's because your eleite collect the difference, and you guys pay the bills.

Oathkeepers keep with their pattern of doing something wonderful, followed by being a buncha jackasses. You can read the exchange among readers about the issue of accidental firearms discharge. Conclusion an outsider gets: Accidental firearms discharges are bad, but the remedies, or preventative actions are worse.
I have a thing or two to say about Oathkeepers. In fact, I wrote several hundred words today, but "being a buncha jackasses" is about as accurate and condensed as I can make it.
Remember Rantburgers cheering on Louisiana General Russel Honore over his remarks, including the classic "stuck on stupid" response to the press in 2005, post Katrina? Good times, good times. Ten years later General Honore is himself seemingly stuck on stupid with regards to firearms and the right to keep and bear arms.
Prices for pistol ammunition were unchanged while prices for rifle ammunition were mostly unchanged.
Prices for used pistols were higher across the board, while prices for used rifles were mixed.
Once again, prices for privately owned AR-10 pattern rifles have dropped to a new low, $890. AR-15 pattern rifles followed the downward trend by reaching a new low as well.

BREAKING: Fast and Furious hand gun used by terrorist in Garland, Tx attack by jihadist. FBI waived the waiting period, ignored violent criminal record.
[Dhaka Tribune] The custodian of Eidgah Mosque in the capital’s Dhanmondi was found dead in the room of the mosque’s Imam late on Thursday night.
Police recovered the body of Dulal Gazi, 50, from the room of Imam Monowar Hossain. Investigators said after primary probe at least two people might have killed Dulal but no arrests were made.
The mosque is located on Road 6/A and Dulal, who hailed from Barisal, had been its custodian for 18 years.
Nure Azam Mia, officer-in-charge of Dhanmondi police station, told the Dhaka Tribune Imam Monowar was not present in the room when Dulal was murdered.
“He was offering prayers in the mosque and later informed police.”
Dulal, who lived in a room on the ground floor of the four-storey mosque, was strangled to death.
Some documents littered the floor of the room where he was found dead and a drawer was also found broken.
Rezaul Karim, assistant commissioner of police of Dhanmondi division, said a cell phone and Tk2,000 were missing from the broken drawer.
“This is why we suspect that the killers might have tried to enter the room for theft but killed Dulal as he saw them.”
Police launched an investigation after the mosque’s Muazzin, Mohiuddin, filed a case with Dhanmondi police station against unidentified criminals yesterday noon.
Dulal’s nephew Rony Gazi told the Dhaka Tribune his uncle had no conflict with anyone and was always busy performing religious activities.

You know if you actually go to their country of origin and kill the SOBs for creating the environment that drives them to your doorstep, a lot of this would go away. In the old book it usually was referred to as colonialism. Of course the guilt industry then could not blame someone or something for these migrants other than their wanting 'Free Stuff'.
Rome suffered the same fate facing wave after wave of 'migrants' aka Vandals, Goths, Slavs, Lombards, et al. Somewhere in the East, someone (usually the Chinese) kicked some ass forcing tribes to move west, who in turn kicked someone else's ass, who then moved further west, kicking even someone else's for the classical domino effect. The West(tm) has been there, seen it, and had it done to them numerous times. Eventually, technology and social organization let them get to do this to the residents of the Americas as well.

The best place to house Libyan refugees is Libya.
The best place to house Somali refugees is Somalia.
And so on. If the home country sucks, fix it. It will cost gold and may cost blood but the alternative is Calais.

[PJMedia] Just when you thought the "Cecil the lion" hysterics could not get any more ridiculous, an animal psychic from Washington steps up to the plate and proves you wrong.
Karen Anderson, who advertises herself as an "animal communicator" and "psychic medium," announced on Facebook that the great beast has communicated with her from beyond the grave.
Anderson says she reached out to the deceased feline to "let him know how loved and honored he is."
Cecil's "profound" response moved her to tears.
"Let not the actions of these few men defeat us or allow darkness to enter our hearts. If we do then we become one of them. Raise your vibration and allow this energy to move us forward. What happened does not need to be discussed as it is what it is. Take heart my child, I am finer than ever, grander than before as no one can take our purity, our truth or our soul. Ever. I am here. Be strong and speak for all the others who suffer needlessly to satisfy human greed. Bring Light and Love and we will rise above this."
[Defense.gov] WASHINGTON, July 31, 2015 -- The Marine Corps today declared that a squadron of 10 F-35B Lightning II aircraft is ready for worldwide deployment.
The Marines' declaration of initial operational capability for its squadron of F-35Bs "marks a significant milestone in the continued evolution of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program," Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Frank Kendall said in a statement issued today.
"The decision was made following a thorough operational readiness inspection, which assessed the Marine Corps' ability to employ this complex weapon system in an operational environment," Kendall continued. "This achievement is a testament to the efforts of the F-35 Joint Program Office and industry team, as well as the hard work and support from the Marine Corps."
'The F-35 Program is on Track'
"This accomplishment is an affirmation that the F-35 program is on track to deliver essential 5th generation warfighting capabilities to our U.S. services and international partners," he added. "It is also a reminder that we still have work ahead to deliver the full warfighting capability required by all three services and our partners while we continue our successful efforts to drive cost out of the program."
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121, or VMFA-121, based in Yuma, Arizona, is the first squadron in military history to become operational with an F-35 variant, following a five-day operational readiness inspection, which concluded July 17, according to a news release issued today by the Marine Corps.
"I am pleased to announce that VMFA-121 has achieved initial operational capability in the F-35B, as defined by requirements outlined in the June 2014 Joint Report to Congressional Defense Committees," Marine Corps Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., commandant of the Marine Corps, said in the Marine Corps release.
"VMFA-121 has ten aircraft in the Block 2B configuration with the requisite performance envelope and weapons clearances, to include the training, sustainment capabilities, and infrastructure to deploy to an austere site or a ship," Dunford continued. "It is capable of conducting close air support, offensive and defensive counter air, air interdiction, assault support escort and armed reconnaissance as part of a Marine air-ground task force, or in support of the joint force."
Dunford stated that he has his full confidence in the F-35B's ability to support Marines in combat, predicated on years of concurrent developmental testing and operational flying.
"Prior to declaring [initial operating capability], we have conducted flight operations for seven weeks at sea aboard an L-Class carrier, participated in multiple large force exercises, and executed a recent operational evaluation which included multiple live ordnance sorties," Dunford said. "The F-35B's ability to conduct operations from expeditionary airstrips or sea-based carriers provides our nation with its first 5th generation strike fighter, which will transform the way we fight and win."
F-35 Will Eventually Replace Legacy Aircraft
As the future of Marine Corps tactical aviation, the F-35 will eventually replace three legacy platforms: the AV-8B Harrier, the F/A-18 Hornet, and the EA-6B Prowler, according to the Marine Corps release.
"The success of VMFA-121 is a reflection of the hard work and effort by the Marines in the squadron, those involved in the program over many years, and the support we have received from across the Department of the Navy, the joint program office, our industry partners, and the undersecretary of defense," Dunford added. "Achieving [initial operating capability] has truly been a team effort."
The Marine Corps has trained and qualified more than 50 Marine F-35B pilots and certified about 500 maintenance personnel to assume autonomous, organic-level maintenance support for the F-35B, the release said.
Marine Attack Squadron 211, an AV-8B Harrier II squadron, is scheduled to transition next to the F-35B in fiscal year 2016, according to the release. In 2018, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122, an F/A-18 Hornet squadron, will conduct its transition.
