It sure looks like Brennan is lying. And clearly John Durham is on to him.

Pelosi gives us the most unfair trial in the history of the U.S. Congress, and now she is crying for fairness in the Senate, and breaking all rules while doing so. She lost Congress once, she will do it again!

2…………> A Justice For Jamal Khashoggi’s Murder: Saudi Court

 

Khashoggi, an opinion writer for the Washington Post who was at one time a Saudi royal insider before becoming a critic of the leadership, was killed by lethal injection and then dismembered by a group of Saudi men sent from the kingdom.

Now a Saudi Court has sentenced 5 men to death, with the names of those found guilty, and their individual sentences still a secret.

But the Royal Court denied Prince Mohammed had any involvement or knowledge of the operation, and earlier this year, the royal told American broadcaster PBS he bore responsibility for the incident, “because it happened on my watch.”

3…………> Witnesses Welcome: Senate Leader Mitch McConnell

 

Democrats renewed their demand for witnesses, after an email emerged suggesting the White House sought to freeze aid to Ukraine just 91 minutes after Mr. Trump spoke to President Volodymyr Zelensky by phone in July, and during a press conference Senator Charles, “I cried tears for the Muslims”  Schumer said Republicans “have come up with no good reason why there shouldn’t be witnesses, why there shouldn’t be documents.”

They want assurances from Mr McConnell that their chosen witnesses – at least four current and former White House aides with knowledge of the Ukraine affair – will be allowed to testify.

The president is unlikely to be removed from office, as his Republican party has a majority in the Senate, where a trial will be held as stipulated in the US Constitution.

5…………> Apocalypse Yesterday: Norwegian Survival Vault

 

The Spitsbergen “vault”, which is in actual fact a million dollars bank that shelters an extensive variety of plant seeds that a duplicate, or so-called “spare” samples, of seeds held in gene banks around the world is to ensure that the precious rare samples will by no means be lost in the event of a regional or even global crisis.

“In the frozen Arctic wilderness of the Norwegian island of Svalbard, not far from the North Pole, there’s a presence looking as alien as a pyramid on the Moon”, Wooley told the TV audience, continuing descriptively:

“It towers 10 metres out of the ground and slopes backwards like a fallen obelisk”, he could be heard saying, bringing up the frozen seeds of “90 percent of the world’s crops” that are carefully stored in the vault, serving as a “potential insurance policy against the potential calamities of war, terrorism, fire or flood”

Doctor Fowler took cameras into the vault, which sits in a sandstone mountain, going through several levels of security before finally explaining his choice of location for the projected storehouse:

“It contains a lot of history, biological history, about 130 metres below the surface, but it was not a voice from the skies that influenced me, just a long-term frustration with seeing a lot of crop diversity become extinct”, its founder Dr. Fowler said.

“After 9/11 you could say what county and what building is safe in the world? So we thought there really has to be another location that’s far away, that’s remote and safe, where we can store back-up”, he said, referring to the murky predictions of a nuclear winter – the event of the Sun being blocked in the wake of a massive volcanic eruption or asteroid strike as early as 2020.
