Judicial Watch Sues Adam Schiff for Phone Snooping Records

 

Judicial Watch has sued the House Intelligence Committee and its chairman, Adam Schiff (D-CA), on Friday for records relating to Schiff’s phone snooping on his Republican counterpart, a journalist, and the president’s lawyer.

 

Schiff included phone logs purporting to document communications between Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA), journalist John Solomon, and presidential lawyer Rudy Giuliani, among others, attempting to implicate them in a plot to smear the reputation of then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, whom President Donald Trump had constitutional authority to fire for any reason, regardless.

 

A press release from Judicial Watch explained:

 

The phone records led to the publication of the private phone records of Giuliani, Congressman Devon Nunes, journalist John Solomon, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, attorney Victoria Toensing, and other American citizens.

 

Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit under the public’s common-law right of public access to examine government records after it received no response to a December 6, 2019, records request (Judicial Watch v Adam Schiff and U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (No. 1:19-cv-03790)):

 

All subpoenas issued by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on or about September 30, 2019 to any telecommunications provider including, but not limited to AT&T, Inc., for records of telephone calls of any individuals;

All responses received to the above-referenced subpoenas.

 

Judicial Watch accused Schiff of abusing his power. Schiff allegedly used a subpoena to AT&T for the records of several unidentified phone numbers in an apparent attempt to conceal the fact that he was trying to reconstruct the phone conversations of his intended targets, which he then published in the Intelligence Committee’s impeachment report. Schiff did not cite any legal authority for his actions, which arguably violated the First, Fourth, and Sixth Amendments to the Constitution..

 

Nunes has said that Schiff violated his civil liberties, and that he will pursue all legal options; the White House responded by noting that one of the phone numbers in the report was incorrect.

U.N. Imposes Strict Gender Quotas on British Army for Africa Jihadi Fight

 

The United Nations has placed strict gender quotas on a British Army peacekeeping deployment to Mali in west Africa, demanding more females are sent under the auspices of a special bureaucratic directive.

 

At least 250 soldiers are expected to join the U.N. peacekeeping force helping France to contain the deadly Islamist jihadi threat in the disputed Sahel region, the Daily Express reports.

 

The call for more female UK soldiers to be included is part of a wider set of directives drafted by the U.N. that mandates strict quotas for female personnel in the name of equal opportunity.

 

Under Uniformed Gender Parity Strategy targets, 15 percent of military observers and staff officers must be women by next year, while the figure for female “boots on the ground” is 7.5 percent.

 

It means the British Army will have to field at least 18 female soldiers in order to comply during the Mali deployment.

 

Senior planners involved with preparing for the mission expressed their fury.

 

“The British Army embraces gender equality. We feel it’s the right thing, and a good thing,” one senior officer told the newspaper.

 

“But equality cuts both ways. This is about our ability, as planners, to choose the most appropriate soldiers for the task at hand, be they men or women.

 

“It’s true that we are joining a U.N. peacekeeping operation, and not France’s parallel mission. However, we anticipate that this will be a highly kinetic operation.”

 

The officer questioned whether bureaucrats sitting in their offices in the U.N. building in New York rather than being out in the field have any notion of the absurdity of the request.

 

“Frankly, to be forced to comply with a tick-boxing request which doesn’t address the immediate realities of the challenges we face is ludicrous.”

 

The United Nations has 13,000 peacekeepers in Mali, which ranks among its biggest and costliest missions. France has 4,000 troops serving across the Sahel region in five countries (Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad) in Operation Barkhane, launched in 2014.

 

Since 2013, at least 44 French soldiers have died in the mission that has created little public debate in France.

Hillary 2.0? Data on New EU President’s Official Phone Wiped

 

A criminal complaint has been filed after it was revealed that Germany’s Defence Ministry wiped data from the phone of its former boss and new European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen — echoing similar incidents involving Hillary Clinton in the United States.

 

Green Party defence spokesman Tobias Lindner filed a criminal complaint over suspected deliberate deletion of data from Ursula von der Leyen’s official phone from her time serving as Germany’s Defence Minister.

 

“We have to assume that people in office destroyed evidence. Such actions can have criminal relevance”, said Lindner in comments reported by Deutsche Welle.

 

“First they said von der Leyen’s phone could not be found, they didn’t know where it was. A week ago they said it was in the ministry, but only von der Leyen knew the PIN code, and yesterday they confessed that the relevant phone data had been deleted in August”, he added.

 

The revelation of Von der Leyen’s deleted data comes amidst a corruption investigation in Germany over military spending and possible cronyism in the process of awarding military contracts.

These Are All The International Brands That Have Apologized To China

 

The definitive list of international companies that have issued apologies to maintain their market access in China in recent years. Plus, a record of the even more widespread phenomenon of self-censorship for the Chinese market.

 

By now, pretty much everyone has noticed - or should have noticed - how much influence China holds over many international corporations.

 

Much of the awareness can be attributed to the ongoing NBA-China controversy, where a sports league known in the U.S. for its progressive values is being forced to stay deafeningly silent on the decidedly un-woke policies of the Chinese government in order to keep NBA basketball in Chinese stadiums and on Chinese TV.

 

But other brands of many types, ranging from fashion and luxury labels to hotel groups and even a medical device company, have all been strongly condemned by the Chinese government and on Chinese social media in the past few years. Increasingly, these companies have bent to pressure and issued apologies, some of them groveling, but almost all of them containing remarkably similar phrases about “respecting China’s territorial integrity.”

 

Before this summer, China’s two most commonly stepped-in political hotspots for international companies were Taiwan and Tibet. Now, Hong Kong has joined that list. With massive pro-democracy protests erupting in Hong Kong in June and continuing today, any activism — even perceived activism by brands — about the political future of that city by foreigners has become anathema to Beijing.

 

Tibet is officially an Autonomous Region of China, Hong Kong is a semi-autonomous Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan is a de facto independent country. But Beijing makes claims of total sovereignty to all these, and even the slightest suggestion that the regions should have more autonomy from Beijing or that — in the case of Taiwan — it should be treated as the de facto independent territory that it is, is viewed as a great offense by Beijing and many Chinese nationalists.

 

Without further ado, here is the list of companies that have apologized to China. The companies are listed in reverse chronological order of their apologies, with the most recent first. For each company, we note what Chinese social media (and sometimes the government) took offense at, and when the company apologized, with a link to their apology.

 

Think we missed an apology? Let us know at editors@supchina.com and we can add it to the list.

 

Below this list is a separate record of companies that are known to self-censor, or have been forced to censor for China, but have not issued apologies to China.

Republicans attack Pelosi for impeachment stalemate

 

 

President Trump’s allies in the House and Senate blasted Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Sunday morning for delaying sending the House’s articles of impeachment to the Senate for trial.

 

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that “frankly, I don't think the speaker has the right to do this."

 

"I think it's a mistake on the Speaker's part. I think this will look pretty political," he added.

 

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) called the delay “bizarre," contrasting it with what he called a “rush” to hold the vote last Wednesday.

 

“I just think it’s kind of bizarre they had to rush to this impeachment vote, and then all of a sudden she’s sitting on it,” Johnson said on ABC's "This Week." “I don’t think the Senate should be making the case the House should have made in their presentation. My guess is they weren’t able to make the case.”

 

The impeachment process is on pause after the House voted last week to approve two articles of impeachment charging Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

 

Pelosi has delayed sending the articles to the Senate for trial in an attempt to maintain leverage for Democrats in the upper chamber as they hammer out procedures for the Senate trial. The move has drawn praise from Pelosi's caucus even as Senate Democrats appear eager to receive the articles. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has shrugged off the tactic, saying he's "not anxious to have the trial," while Trump said he is eager to be acquitted by the Senate.

 

Democrats hope to use the tactic to convince the Senate to call several administration witnesses.

 

But Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who served as a House impeachment manager during the Senate’s trial for then-President Bill Clinton, meanwhile, told Fox’s Maria Bartiromo that he doubted any senators would vote to compel testimony from acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and former national security adviser John Bolton.

 

“I can’t imagine any senator doing this to the presidency. I hope senators will not vote to compel witnesses before the court determines whether or not there’s executive privilege,” he added.

 

 

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said on Sunday that Pelosi was doing “exactly the right thing,” telling CBS’ “Face the Nation” the speaker “is focusing a spotlight on the need to have a fair trial in the United States Senate."

 

"And it's especially necessary when you have Mitch McConnell, Sen. McConnell, who you quoted earlier, saying publicly that he is not going to be an impartial juror, even though that's what the oath will require, that he's going to work in lockstep with the president, who is the defendant in this case, and that he’s already said no to calling fact witnesses that have direct knowledge of what's at stake in this impeachment," he added.

 

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) warned against senators from both parties announcing how they intended to vote ahead of the trial.

 

"How can they hold their hands up and say I swear impartial justice…they should not have done that," Durbin told CNN’s Dana Bash.

 

"As far as I'm concerned they can tell which way they're leaning or how they feel in terms of the probability but when it comes to saying, 'I've made up my mind, it's all over,' for goodness sakes that’s not what the Constitution envisioned,” he added.

High Court to consider if an indicted Netanyahu can form government

 

Law offers no clear standard for PM’s eligibility in case of indictment; court ruling against him could play into his claim he is a victim of an ‘attempted coup’

 

The High Court of Justice on Sunday said it had agreed to hear a petition arguing that it is against the law for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form the next government.

 

The court said the hearing would take place December 31 at 9 a.m. before a three-judge panel led by Chief Justice Esther Hayut and including Deputy Chief Justice Hanan Melcer and Justice Uzi Vogelman.

 

The court also asked Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to produce a legal opinion on the question of Netanyahu’s eligibility to return to the prime minister’s chair, and to hand it to the court at least 48 hours before the hearing.

Russia & Syria Signal West With Joint Naval Drills, "Hundreds" Of Airstrikes On Idlib

 

2020 could once again witness the US and Russia on the brink of war in Syria.

 

Multiple developments related to Russia’s military role in Syria mean that the years-long conflict could once again become front and center for Washington during 2020.

 

First, this week Russia and Syria conducted rare joint naval drills in the eastern Mediterranean at a moment Russian jets significantly increased airstrikes on jihadist-held Idlib province, reportedly conducting hundreds of missile strikes in the last five days, with regional reports saying Russian warships in the Mediterranean are firing sea-launched rockets as well.

 

A Syrian government assault on southern Idlib is being given air support through the major uptick in Russian air raids, sending tens of thousands of civilians fleeing as the combined force seeks to push back the al-Qaeda group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)

Proof that America’s “Deep State” Exists and Controls the Government

 

Eric Zuesse for The Saker Blog

 

The readers at the international-news site South Front tend to be technologically far more knowledgeable about the internet than most people (including myself) are, and so their responses to a news-report that I did on December 17th, titled “Former NSA Tech Chief Says Mueller Report Was Based on CIA-Fabricated ‘Evidence’”, not only corrected a misspelling of a particular spoken acronym (my “PHAT” there should have been spelled “FAT”) but they also explained some technological details which enable a deeper understanding of how the CIA had perpetrated the ‘Russiagate’ hoax that Robert Mueller in his report as the U.S. Special Counsel had asserted to be a “Russiagate” fact (i.e., Mueller’s allegations that the Russian Government had hacked computers of the Democratic National Committee). Especially informative there was this reader-comment, which comes from one of the world’s leading experts on cyber technology, Luke Herbert-Hansen:

 

 

Luke Herbert-Hansen Peter Jennings

 

Well FAT may not [be] a common OS file system anymore, but it is still widely used on various removable media such as a USB sticks.

 

 

As everyone knows who has been closely following the most-reliable evidence regarding the question of how DNC emails had been copied and supplied to Wikileaks, there has been much credible, soundly-sourced, speculation that the DNC employee Seth Rich had physically copied the data from a computer there onto a thumb drive (or “USB stick”), which then was picked up in the U.S. by a Wikileaks agent, who physically delivered it to Julian Assange at London’s Ecuadorean Embassy. The great independent investigative journalist (virtually barred since 2007 from being published in the U.S. anymore), Seymour Hersh, personally investigated the records of the murder of Seth Rich, both at the Washington DC police and at the FBI, and this is from the transcript I had made of his statement in a Web-posted phone-call [my boldfaces for emphasis]:

 

 

(2:50-) At some time in late spring, which we’re talking about in June 21st, I don’t know, just late spring early summer, he makes contact with Wikileaks, that’s in his computer, and he makes contact. Now, I have to be careful because I met Julian [Assange] in Europe ten twelve years [ago], I stay the fuck away from people like that. He has invited me and when I am in London, I always get a message, ‘come see me at the Ecuadorean’ [Embassy], and I am fucking not going there. I have enough trouble without getting photographed. He’s under total surveillance by everybody.

Russia will respond to US sanctions without damaging itself - Lavrov

 

Russia’s top diplomat noted that he had never thought that US politicians would go that far to slap these decisions, which do no credit to serious political actors

 

Moscow will retaliate against Washington’s sanctions without hurting itself, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with the Bolshaya Igra (Big Game) program on Russia’s television Channel One.

 

"We will respond to sanctions but in a way not to hurt ourselves. But we will definitely respond. And we will certainly take this into account when building our relations," Lavrov said.

 

Russia’s top diplomat noted that he had never thought that US politicians would go that far to slap these decisions, which do no credit to serious political actors. "I find it very hard to understand the situation because I either knew indirectly or directly the majority of these Congressmen, members of the House of Representatives, Senators, mostly from the Democratic Party," Lavrov said.

 

The US Congress approved the National Defense Authorization Act for 2020 fiscal year (started October 1) that requires the US administration to introduce sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 and TurkStream Russian gas pipelines. On December 11, the House of Representatives backed the document, while US President Donald Trump signed it into force on Friday.

Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine: “I’ve uncovered an eight-year-long money laundering system” Totaling $12.5 Billion

 

Rudy Giuliani is legitimately fearing for his life these days.

 

On Friday he sat down with Glenn Beck to reveal more details of the REAL Ukraine collusion.

 

“I’m in a lot of trouble. I’ve uncovered an eight-year-long money laundering system…”

 

Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, sat down with Glenn Beck at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit on Friday to reveal the multibillion dollar money laundering schemes he says he uncovered during his recent trip to Ukraine to investigate corruption.

 

Giuliani said the corruption in Ukraine most likely started in 2012 during the Obama administration and involved at least two major schemes, one for $7.5 billion and another for $5 billion.

 

He backed his claims with bank and court records that show a million-dollar money trail leading from Ukraine to a fake company in Latvia, then to Cyprus, and finally to the board members of Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas firm whose board included Hunter Biden and business partner Devon Archer.

 

“I’m in a lot of trouble,” Giuliani told Glenn. “I’ve uncovered an eight-year-long money laundering system, that started probably in 2012, with $7.5 billion laundered by [Vitkor] Yanukovych, the [Ukraine] president at the time — pro-Russian president at the time. He laundered through American institutions, interestingly, controlled by Democrats.”

 

#####

 

Giuliani has the Democrats number and he knows it.

 

But he also knows how corrupt things are in Ukraine.

 

Never Forget: Obama Put Neo-Nazis in Power in the Ukraine, and They Are Now Arming North Korea

 

That was never really investigated because not many wanted Obama impeached.

 

But there are still bad people in powerful positions in The Ukraine.

 

Thanks Obama!

 

Now that Trump is facing possible impeachment, remember it’s not an impeachment until it hits the Senate, a lot of people that are suspected of questionable Ukraine dealings are on the war path.

 

Surprise! Pelosi and Schiff Connected to a Ukrainian Arms Dealer

 

It’s not just Joe and Hunter Biden that have their hands in the Ukrainian cookie jar.

 

Husband of House Judiciary Committee Dem, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, ACCEPTED $700,000 From a Ukrainian Oligarch

Ukraine News Agency: Ukraine MPs Demand Trump & Zelensky Investigate $7.4 Billion Money Laundering Scheme Under Obama Admin

 

That Ukraine News Agency was reporting $7.4 Billion being laundered by Obama & Company before Giuliani dropped the $12.5 Billion story to Beck.

 

Sounds like Giuliani found some of the right people to talk to in Ukraine and a lot of these stories are starting to support each other.

 

Giuliani’s life has been in danger for a long time, though maybe not this much.

 

Welcome to the Big Leagues Rudy.

 

We are praying for you and hope that you continue to deliver the goods so that Americans can learn the truth of who is really guilty in Ukraine.

Nun Exposes Pope as ‘The Devil,’ as Francis Endorses “Reinventing the Global Educational Alliance” Hosted at The Vatican in 2020

 

As a former Catholic who still has much love for the people of the Catholic Church, I have been paying a lot of attention to Pope Francis.

 

He seems in a rush to destroy The Church which he leads and is opening his arms to all faiths.

 

However, at least one of those faiths is not peaceful and will not ever accept him or his flock.

 

He doesn’t seem to care that their teachings go against those of his own church.

Now, as you can see from the tweet at the beginning of this article, Pope Francis is pushing another “globalist” think tank known as “Reinventing the Global Educational Alliance” to be held at The Vatican in 2020.

 

Some have claimed this Pope is trying to establish ONE WORLD RELIGION to facilitate his globalist beliefs.

 

It’s hard to argue that claim.

Iran to take 5th JCPOA step if Europe fails to fulfill commitments: Shamkhani

 

A senior Iranian official has warned that the Islamic Republic would take the fifth step of scaling back its commitments under a landmark nuclear deal it clinched with major world powers in 2015 if the European signatories to the accord did not take practical measures to salvage it.

 

"Tehran has started different steps to reduce its peaceful nuclear commitments in order to maintain and balance its commitments under the JCPOA (the nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) and if the Europeans fail to fulfill their obligations, we will take the fifth step," Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani said on Sunday.

 

US President Donald Trump, a stern critic of the historic deal, unilaterally pulled Washington out of the JCPOA in May 2018, and unleashed the “toughest ever” sanctions against the Islamic Republic in defiance of global criticism in an attempt to strangle the Iranian oil trade.

 

In response to the US unilateral move, Tehran has so far rowed back on its nuclear commitments four times in compliance with Articles 26 and 36 of the JCPOA, but stressed that its retaliatory measures will be reversible as soon as Europe finds practical ways to shield the mutual trade from the US sanctions.

 

As a first step, Iran increased its enriched uranium stockpile to beyond the 300 kilograms set by the JCPOA.

 

In the second step, Tehran began enriching uranium to purity rates beyond the JCPOA limit of 3.76 percent.

 

In the third phase, after the Europeans failed to meet a 60-day deadline to meet Iran’s demands and fulfill their commitments under the deal, Iran started up advanced centrifuges to boost the country's stockpile of enriched uranium and activated 20 IR-4 and 20 IR-6 centrifuges for research and development purposes.

 

In November, Iran began injecting gas into centrifuges at the Fordow plant as part of its fourth step away from the JCPOA under the supervision of the IAEA.

Three French executives convicted in the suicides of 35 of their workers

 

The company, France Telecom − which used to be state-owned and is now known as Orange, one of France's largest corporations − was fined $120,000, the maximum penalty. Its ex-chief executive, Didier Lombard, was sentenced to four months in prison and fined $23,000, along with his former second-in-command and head of human resources.

 

 

The spate of suicides, which happened more than a decade ago, came as the company underwent a massive restructuring. Then France's national telephone company, France Telecom embarked on an aggressive plan to cut 22,000 workers and shift another 10,000 into new jobs − all between 2006 and 2008. Most of the employees, because they were civil servants, could not be fired.

 

So, prosecutors said, the company's executives tried to make workers' lives so miserable they would leave voluntarily. Lombard, speaking to senior managers in 2007, reportedly vowed, "I'll get them out one way or another, through the window or through the door."

 

 

In many cases, suicide notes blaming the company accompanied them. In court, the Associated Press reported, one was projected on a large screen, reading: "I am committing suicide because of my work at France Telecom, it's the only cause."

 

For years, however, the company downplayed the suicides, calling them not statistically surprising for a workforce so large.

Three Ukrainian Officials Swear Under Oath that Ukraine Interfered in the 2016 US Election Against Donald Trump (VIDEO)

 

The liberal #FakeNews mainstream media continues to play defense for Democrats insisting that Ukraine did NOT interfere in the 2016 US presidential election.

Of course, this is fake news.

 

The Gateway Pundit was the first publication to interview Ukrainian whistleblower and former embassy official Andrii Telizhenko back in December 2018.

 

In early 2016 Telizhenko was approached by DNC operative Alexandra Chalupa. She is still working at the DNC. She wanted dirt on Trump and his campaign manager Paul Manafort.

 

The Ukrainian embassy in Washington DC worked VERY CLOSELY with DNC operative and Hillary supporter Alexandra Chalupa.

Chalupa told Andrii she wanted Russian “dirt” on the Trump campaign.

 

Mueller has no interest in hearing Andrii’s story. It doesn’t fit his narrative.

Mueller and his angry Democrat lawyers are not interested in the truth.

They only want to destroy Trump.

 

Andrii is speaking out about his experiences with DNC operatives.

He believes he is safe as long as he speaks out.

 

The Gateway Pundit spoke with former Ukrainian Embassy official Andrii Telizhenko on the DNC Russia-Gate Scandal.

 

Andrii Telizhenko worked in Washington DC at the Ukraine Embassy in 2016. Today Andrii is a political consultant. Andrii was approached by a DNC operative during the 2016 election (March-April 2016).
