Judicial Watch Weekly Update with Tom Fitton for December 6, 2019: Join Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton for a discussion of the Pelosi/Schiff political coup attempt, updates on the Clinton Emails, PLUS 5 NEW JW Lawsuits against the Deep State.
More emails? No wonder she was exhausted by the end of the campaign!
[ACLJ] This year we scored a massive win in our ongoing fight for life. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under President Trump ended an alarming contract between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a California university that involved using aborted babies in medical research.
In what sounds like awful science fiction, NIH had hoped to create "humanized mice" for experimentation from the tissue of aborted babies. Let me say it again: humanized mice.
At the beginning of the year, we told you that we had issued a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to discover more about this unsettling experimentation being conducted by NIH, which had contracted with University of California San Francisco (UCSF) to "obtain the body parts from unborn babies to make at least two types of ’humanized mice.’"
When the ACLJ caught wind of this disgusting contract, we immediately initiated a legal advocacy campaign obtaining over a hundred-thousand petition signatures demanding an end to these ghoulish practices. We also filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in order to expose and put an end to this horror.
In a huge victory, HHS agreed with us, and officially shut down this twisted experimentation ‐ soon after receiving our FOIA request.

In other chimeric future news (rushed straight from the front to the Daily Star by flying car!)...
"Look! Up in the sty!" "It's a ponkey!"
"What?" "Neither a pig nor a monkey,
It swings through the trees
With the greatest of ease--"
Crack! Kaboom! General gloom,
Swish of streetsweeper's broom.
"Well, it would, if it wasn't so chunky!"
Seriously, thanks. You two totally disproportionately tend to get me thinking (as in grimacing, grunting, and leaning into the pain, which -- tough to tell, I know ;-) -- is not really my thing).
[Genesius Times (humor)] As impeachment attempt bombs, Rep. Adam Schiff is proceeding with a second impeachment of President Trump over collusion with Russia on improper destruction of mattress tags in 1998.
As recent polling indicates that the Democrats coup attempt (also known as "impeachment") is failing and an increasing number of taxpaying voters polled believe it is a stupid waste of time and money, Representative Adam Schiff shared a new, bombshell revelation.
"I have evidence that so-called ’President’ Donald Trump has removed tags from mattresses before they were sold to consumers," Schiff announced at a press conference on Wednesday.

OMG! I hope they don't find out about the 2 (count them - TWO!) scoops of Ice Cream!
[Western Journal] U.S. Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida was put on lockdown early Friday morning as shots rang out in what would be the second mass shooting on a stateside military base this week.
According to The Associated Press, three were killed and 12 more injured when an aviation student opened fire on his peers during a classroom training session.
The shooter, who has since been identified as Saudi Arabian national Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, was quickly neutralized ‐ not by U.S. Armed Forces, but by two Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies during a standoff which ensued following law enforcement’s rapid response to the attack.
Why on earth would the sailors on base require local law enforcement response, you might ask?
[PJMedia] An Arizona imam has been accused of sexual assault, child abuse, misuse of funds, and falsely presenting himself as single in order to pursue female congregants while having two concealed marriages. One mosque quietly fired him after early accusations, but another has continued to employ him. An anti-Islamist Moslem reformer has condemned a media blackout on the story, suggesting that the local Moslem community is protecting a sexual predator due to radical interpretations of sharia.
"Here is the story on the imam ’quietly’ fired from our mosque in Scottsdale," M. Zuhdi Jasser, founder of the American-Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD), tweeted. "Apparently he was also a sexual predator. So tell me again this has nothing to do with their shariah supremacism, radicalism and affinity for radical imams like [Siraj Wahhaj]?"
Jasser was referring to a Religion News Service (RNS) article about Moataz Moftah, a holy man who teaches youth at the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix. The article cites an exhaustive report from the victims' advocacy group Facing Abuse in Community Environments (FACE) following an 11-month investigation into Moftah's alleged misconduct. FACE released the report on November 11.

The historic error of affording secular rights to islam can be remedied. Legislate to adopt a limited list of religions. Classify those belief systems as cults which include anti-social, misanthropic behaviour or that necessitate practices not consonant with liberal democracies. Rate them in a threat matrix and ban the most delinquent ones. No more Ist Amendment rights to the mosques and organizations. Bring the baton down hard, fight the short civil war that ensues. This is the only way now.

The media would rather eat depleted uranium than report any news that proved the Right was correct about Islam.
Islam is in their ingroup, while the Right is their outgroup. The fact that the Left is in Islam's outgroup is irrelevant. What matters is depriving the Right of any arguments.

Couldn't agree more, Herb... but what does RT have to say about this?
In the abbreviation Nazi it is always the nationalist part that get blamed for antisemitism or racism but time and time again and through history it is always the socialist part that actually is antisemitic.

Video fixed. We’ve had a few articles on the subject as the story has developed, but this pulls it altogether by presenter “Sargon of Akkad”, who describes himself as an English Liberal YouTuber. In this he started out skeptical of the report and became convinced. At the YouTube page he gives a link to the video he excerpts.
The comments on the YouTube page that I looked at are very different than on his Facebook page.
[60 Minutes] The geneticist whose work helped map the human genome, the first step in the quest to manipulate what is essentially the software of human life, says reversing the aging process in humans may be less than 20 years away. George Church takes Scott Pelley into his Harvard Medical School lab to see his latest work for a 60 Minutes report to be broadcast Sunday, December 8, at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. PT on CBS.
Just imagine a world with Pelosi controlling the US House for centuries ...
Thanks to Church and others whose work decoded DNA, called the building blocks of life, the day when humans will no longer be prone to viruses or genetic diseases is coming. But one of the next breakthroughs could be reversing the basic process of age itself. "Age reversal is something that's been proven about eight different ways on animals," says Church. He tells Pelley that in mice, tissue damage has been repaired, reaction times sped up and cognition improved.
Knowing the specific functions of genes in a creature's DNA allows scientists to edit or add genes to the sequence and change outcomes. A paper just published by Church and several other scientists shows how added multiple genes in mice improved heart and kidney function and levels of blood sugar. "The gene function is going down [with age] and so we're boosting it back up by putting in extra copies of the gene," he explains, saying that this is gene therapy.
The next step toward replicating this science in humans is to achieve the same results in a clinical trial using dogs that he is conducting now. The process could be perfected in humans in less than 20 years says Church. "That veterinary product might be a couple years away. And then that takes another 10 years to get through the human clinical trials."

One way to solve the Social Security funding problem. Do away with retirement. It also solves the need to import labor, only need replacements for accidents not age.
In which the AFP reporter demonstrates a little knowledge without historic perspective quickly leads down a predetermined wrong path. Genesis tells of a period of drought that led Abraham and Sarah to find refuge in Egypt, and another drought that sent Jacob and his sons to find refuge there again.
[AnNahar] People who fled Syria in recent years are often viewed as war refugees because of the violence that has engulfed much of the country since 2011.
But those from the northern and northeastern parts of Syria may more accurately be viewed as climate refugees, fleeing not a worsening conflict but an increasingly severe drought.
I have been studying various aspects of water and food security in the Middle East for a long time. Now I have begun a new project studying the social and economic conditions needed to repatriate rural refugees to the farming communities in Syria.

[AmGreatness] It’s high time American voters lodged a complaint with the Better Business Bureau ("BBB") against an entity with a sketchy history of bogus claims and broken promises: the Democratic Party.
According to the BBB:
Misleading advertising occurs when, in the promotion of a product or any business interest, a representation is made to the public that is false or materially misleading. If a representation could influence a consumer to buy the product or service advertised, it is material. To determine whether an advertisement is misleading, the courts consider the "general impression" it conveys, as well as its literal meaning.
...Sure, the Democratic Party wants everyone to vote regardless of citizenship; and, the party offers everyone an equality of dependency and misery in their socialist dystopia. But this is the egalitarian pose the Democratic Party necessarily assumes to take power from the people. Then, having duplicitously and, tragically, attained power by blathering on about the peril posed to "our democracy," their electioneering mask slips and the Democratic Party promptly proceeds to imperil our constitutional republic by serving the voting public up to the unaccountable administrative state.
This undemocratic outcome is the ineluctable result of the Democratic Party’s "progressive" ideology: "experts" are better at managing government‐i.e., your life and pursuit of happiness‐than are you.
Thus, for the Democratic Party, voting is a one way street to empowering elitists: once the voters consent to delegating their powers to the government in the manner the Left deems acceptable, the Democratic Party holds that such delegation is permanent.
...Witness how the Left parades the administrative and academic elites (when not hiding them in Adam Schiff’s basement) through the show trial impeachment sham. Underneath all the wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from these unelected bureaucrats is an affronted dismay at the realization their "expert" opinions were not obeyed by the elected president of the United States.
Welcome to the Democratic Party’s undemocratic administrative state where, as Winston Churchill warned: "After a time, civil servants tend to become no longer servants and no longer civil." And Americans become no longer sovereign citizens but serfs.
[Frontpage] In the last few days, media talking heads have been saying the word "CrowdStrike" a lot, defining it as a wild conspiracy theory originating in Moscow. They were joined by Chris Wallace at Fox News, who informed us that president Trump and his ill-informed fans believe in a crazy idea that the DNC wasn't hacked by the Russians but by some Ukrainian group named CrowdStrike that stole the DNC server and brought it to Ukraine , and that it was Ukraine that meddled in our 2016 election and not Russia.
A crazy idea indeed. Except that neither Trump nor his fans had ever heard of it until the Democrat-media complex condescendingly informed them that these are their beliefs.
Let's look at the facts:
Fact 1. In 2016 the DNC hired the Ukrainian-owned firm CrowdStrike to analyze their server and investigate a data breach.
Fact 2. CrowdStrike experts determined that the culprit was Russia.
Fact 3. The FBI never received access to the DNC server, so the Russian connection was never officially confirmed and continues to be an allegation coming from the DNC and its Ukrainian-owned contractor.
Fact 4. Absent the official verdict, other theories continue to circulate, including the possibility that the theft was an inside job by a DNC employee, who simply copied the files to a USB drive and sent it to WikiLeaks.
None of these facts was ever disputed by anyone. The media largely ignored them except for the part about the Russian hackers, which boosted their own, now debunked, wild conspiracy theory that Trump was a Russian agent.
Now that Trump had asked the newly elected Ukrainian president Zelensky to look into CrowdStrike during that fateful July phone call, the media all at once started telling us that "CrowdStrike" is a code word for a conspiracy theory so insane that only Trump could believe in it, which is just more proof of how insane he is.
But if Trump had really said what Mr. Wallace and the media claim, Ukrainians would be the first to call him on it and the impeachment would've been over by now. Instead, Ukrainians back Trump every step of the way.

Are we to assume this is the same 'James Comey' who orchestrated Trump Dossier back-up data for FISA warrants ?
Wiki:CrowdStrike helped investigate the Democratic National Committee cyber attacks and connected those attacks to Russian intelligence services. On March 20, 2017, during testimony before congress, James Comey stated "CrowdStrike, Mandiant, and ThreatConnect review[ed] the evidence of the hack and conclude[d] with high certainty that it was the work of APT 28 and APT 29 who are known to be Russian intelligence services."[38]

The fact that the FBI didn't get to examine the server, and never made that an issue, tells me they were conspiring with Brennan, Clapper, and the DNC all along

An interagency courtesy. Keeping in one's lane, larger fish to fry, 'need to know.' Those sorts of issues. Can't we simply move along ?

[SteynOnline] I can no longer remember when I first used the line, but, as I've said many times before, sometimes a society becomes too stupid to survive.
Back when President Trump was Candidate Trump, he famously proposed a soi-disant "Muslim ban" on entry to the United States "until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on".
Which was a rationale to which I was rather partial - because a failure to "figure out what the hell is going on" is a big part of why we're where we are a generation after 9/11. Mohammed is now in the Top Ten boys' names in America, which means it will sooner than you think be, as it is in Europe, among the Top Five boys' names, and eventually the Number One.
Well, the "Muslim ban" never happened, after being struck down by judges and filleted into meaninglessness by the lawyers of the permanent bureaucracy. But you would think, given the mountain of corpses piled up on 9/11, that at the very minimum Saudi nationals would no longer be being given pilot training in Florida. After all, fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were Saudis, and half of those who flew the planes received their lessons in the Sunshine State.
Yet today Americans pick up their papers to read:
PENSACOLA, Fla. ‐ A Saudi Arabian military pilot training in the United States opened fire Friday morning at Naval Air Station Pensacola, leaving three people dead and several others wounded before Florida sheriff's deputies shot and killed him.
Or as The New York Times headlined it:
Florida Shooting Updates: Authorities Say It's Too Early to Know if It's Terrorism
...The flaw in Trump's "Muslim ban" was its conditionality on us "figuring out what the hell is going on". Actually, what the hell's going on isn't so difficult to figure out. But, as events at Fishmongers' Hall and the Pensacola Naval Air Station both underline, most of the western world would rather do anything than confront honestly "what the hell is going on".

flight training for Soddies = a good idea

building up our mortal enemy China = a good idea
refusing to let Chicks Wit' Dicks compete against girl athletes = a bad idea
inviting 22 million illegal aliens into the country, showering them with benefits and protecting them from law enforcement = a good idea

Abu Uluque, Rantburg. does not seem to like to show images when the URL has a dash or understrike. If you would give that to us as a link those interested could open, that would be lovely.
It shows up in my browser, Opera, OK. Sorry if it was a problem for others. It's just a picture of a dodo bird, just for a little humor, nothing all that important. But there's the link.
