-Lurid Crime Tales-
Massachusetts prisoners who donate organs may get less prison time
[BBC] Inmates should be able to donate organs or bone marrow in exchange for reduced time in prison, according to a proposed bill in Massachusetts.

Donors would receive at least 60 days but no more than one year off their sentences.
but a permanent lifetime of Democrat voting for a brain donation
Two state lawmakers - both Democrats - claim the bill would "restore bodily autonomy" to incarcerated people.

But critics warn it is unethical and preys on inmates' desperation.

Organ donation is currently allowed in US federal prisons, but only if the recipient is an immediate family member.

The proposed bill in Massachusetts is designed to establish a donation programme within the state's department of corrections. Nearly 5,000 residents in the state are on an organ transplant waiting list.

State Representative Carlos Gonzalez said providing more potential donors could help patients in need of transplants to get life-saving care. He told Boston.com he had been inspired in part by a close friend who has stage four kidney failure and requires dialysis.

Political observers say it is unlikely that the bill will become law.

Casey died May 30, 2000. Hardly soon after.

Inspector General report on NIH gain of function contracts
Link goes to the HHS OIG website.

The report is written in bureaucratic language. But what it says is that Fauci used subcontracting, fuzzy contract language and avoiding on time review of contractor reports to allow gain of function research in a foreign country known for its poor research security practice.

and of course, all just typical govt sloppiness, not criminal

#5  We have, by treaty, for altruistic reason and for common sense reasons ceased doing research to create biological agents as part of our military structure,.
Yet here comes Fauci funding off the books equivalent research in labs tied to the military of a regime that is committed to our destruction.
There is no rationale argument that this was not also taking place in the Hunter Biden sponsored labs in the currently war torn formerly failed state of Ukraine.
We would know more if Sen Rubio had not helped us not know more when the Administration acknowledged the existence of the Ukraine labs in one of the worst staged puppet shows I have ever seen. They should have rouged up his face, freckled him and added a cowboy kerchief so that Rubio would have been more recognizable as Howdy Doody.

This whole thing stinks. We will see if they are successful in doing the Benghazi rope-adopt to keep a lid on it.

#7  I want to know everything about the labs in Ukraine. I am not buying that anything is classified. Ukraine is a corrupt and unstable place -demonstrably. It is not a place where our country should be doing classified bio research. The point of classification is not to hide government stupidity and/or illegality. Evidently, our government is capable of assassinating our own president and then using the system of classification to hide that act for close to 60 years. Our government doesn’t get any more passes. They haven’t earned any level of trust.
Posted by: Super Hose || 02/02/2023 13:41 Comments || Top||

#8  As I recall, we started giving money to the former Soviet biolabs so that the scientists would stay there instead of offering their services on the black market. The problem is that we kept doing so instead of helping them find respectable jobs.

#10  There was a point in time when we were helping them draw down the labs. There was another point of time where every dirt bag’s kid in DC suddenly got interested in investing in those labs and everything else in Ukraine. I think it was after we helped George Soros overthrow their government. I would like to find out what we have been prevented from knowing about the labs. If we have created COVID let’s find out.

Government Corruption
No classified documents found in FBI search of Biden's beach house
[NBCnews] The FBI's search took place after documents with classified markings from the Obama administration were found in Biden’s Wilmington residence and a Washington think tank office.

No classified documents were found during the FBI’s search of President Joe Biden’s beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Wednesday, an attorney for the president said in a statement.
What about unclassified documents that he had no business taking home, never mind storing in an unsecured, mostly unoccupied beach house?
"The DOJ’s planned search of the president’s Rehoboth residences, conducted in coordination and cooperation with the president’s attorneys, has concluded," Biden's personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, said, adding that the search was conducted from 8:30 a.m. to noon.

#13  The unspoken real issue, is the notebooks and what he wrote in them. My guess is it is a treasure trove of classified material, but no markings, and perhaps some source reference. So the alibi of no "classified markings" allows for the softer, SCIF analysis of content and source. It is these docs that Hunter et al had access to that may heve provided the roadmap of information for sale. An honest investigation could match content, against briefing dates/topic/details and determine what classified information was revealed to unknown subjects. But, since it wasn't marked, the only people that will know are those who did the comparison on the 7th floor of the Hoover Building, so I'm not holding my breath for that truth to ever see the light of day!

House Votes to Remove Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs Committee over Antisemitic Remarks
[NR] Bro-Fo Omar has just learned that Nancy's not there to protect her any more
The House of Representatives voted Thursday to remove Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) from the Foreign Affairs Committee over her history of making antisemitic remarks.

The resolution, which passed 218—211 largely along party lines, was introduced by Representative Max Miller (R., Ohio.), one of two Jewish Republicans in the House.

"Omar has disqualified herself from serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a panel that is viewed by nations around the world as speaking for Congress on matters of international importance and national security," he said in announcing the resolution.

Omar "cannot be an objective decision-maker on the Foreign Affairs Committee given her biases against Israel and against the Jewish people," Miller added.

Omar has made several antisemitic comments throughout her career. Before entering public office, in 2012, Omar tweeted that "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."

Although Omar apologized for the comments, she has subsequently made additional antisemitic remarks.

#11  There will be a negotiation and it needs to start with the model showing the reason for the magic drop dead date, the repeal of the omnibus and an audit of the Ukraine spending.

You can’t pass an omnibus in a lame duck session with explosive spending in December and announce a debt crisis in January. It’s bipolar.

We need some answers on the Ukraine spending as well. I remember a 70s game show with the setting of a Hawaiian volcano where the contestant stepped into a transparent corn popper room where a bunch of currency was blasting around and they tried to grab as much random paper money as possible. It feels like we are letting Zelensky do the same thing with our cash.

Neither am I up for approval of ANYTHING further for Ukraine until I see real info about the bio labs there. If Putin invaded because our proxies were doing COVID creation research on his border, I am willing to trade him Fauci, Hunter Biden, Pelosi’s kid and Kerry’s kid to fill any openings in their hard labor camps.
