Bit more on the Yale/Harvard being accused of not reporting foreign gifts/money. Harvard and Yale accused of failing to report millions in foreign gifts Department of Education opens investigation, saying money accepted from China, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere may be ‘significantly underestimated’
The US Department of Education has opened an investigation into whether the universities of Harvard and Yale failed to report hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign gifts and contracts, as required by law. Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, may not have reported at least $375m in foreign money over the last four years, the department said in a statement. “This is about transparency,” education secretary Betsy DeVos said in the statement. “If colleges and universities are accepting foreign money and gifts, their students, donors, and taxpayers deserve to know how much and from whom.” Federal law requires most colleges and universities to report gifts from and contracts with foreign sources that are more than $250,000 twice a year. Education department records over the last three decades show US universities and colleges have reported more than $6.6bn in donations from Qatar, China, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. “This sum may be significantly underestimated,” the education department said. Yale received a request from the department on Tuesday for records of certain gifts and contracts from foreign sources under section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, said university spokeswoman Karen Peart. “We are reviewing the request and preparing to respond to it,” she said. The education department said that it is also concerned that Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, lacked the proper controls over foreign money and may have not fully reported all donations and contracts coming from outside the United States. Harvard did not respond to a request for comment. The education department did not put a dollar amount of what Harvard potentially did not report. Two weeks ago, Charles Lieber, the chair of Harvard University’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, and two Chinese nationals who were researchers at Boston University and a Boston hospital were charged by the US justice department with lying about their purported links to the Chinese government. Lieber said that Harvard lacked adequate institutional controls for effective oversight and tracking of very large donations, according to the education department. In a report about China’s impact on US education, a Senate committee on investigations described foreign spending on US higher education institutions as “a black hole”. The cases underscore justice department concerns about Chinese programs that recruit scientists with access to cutting-edge technology in the US and encourage them to conduct research for Beijing’s gain and even to steal the work of American academics. In recent years, according to a Senate subcommittee report issued last year, the programs have been exploited by scientists who have downloaded sensitive research files before returning to China, filed patents based on US research, lied on grant applications and failed to disclose money they had received from Chinese institutions. Critics, however, argue that federal restrictions to these programs can lead to racial profiling, drawing parallels to McCarthyism. “In my experience almost all Chinese students are deeply patriotic,” Simon Marginson, a professor of education at Oxford University, told the South China Morning Post. “It does not make them ‘spies’ or ‘agents of influence’. These are ordinary human beings, not alien monsters.” Marginson added that concerns about China’s conduct are “legitimate criticisms” but “reek of prejudice”. In an interview with the Stanford Daily, Larry Diamond, a political scientist and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, insisted a balance can be reached. “I think [TTP participation] should be a matter of public record,” he said. “Beyond that, [professors] might do a lot of good things for China in bringing back medical and scientific knowledge, improving human welfare and raising standards of living.” |

The easiest way to understand this is to imagine the leftists Communists and Marxists that dominate US education, Dem politics, etc as feeder or "farm teams" for China. They don't realize when they reach their Chinese or Russian eu-topia (see what I did there?) the US leftists will receive the same bullets and death they threaten the right with.

Drug patents: the evergreening problem
As any would-be inventor knows, coming up with something the world has never seen before can be tough. Tweaking something old and calling it new, on the other hand, is considerably easier. More at link. In the pharmaceutical trade, when brand-name companies patent “new inventions” that are really just slight modifications of old drugs, it’s called “evergreening.” And it’s a practice that, according to some who have looked into it, isn’t doing a whole lot to improve people’s health. |

https://news.yahoo.com/shadow-inc-idp-contract-dnc-documents-224407455.html “Consultant agrees to work with the DNC Services Corporation / Democratic National Committee (‘DNC’) on an on-going basis as Consultant develops the software,” the contract reads. The contract also specifies that Shadow agrees to “provide DNC continual access to review the Consultant’s system configurations, security and system logs, system designs, data flow designs, security controls (preventative and detective), and operational plans for how the Consultant will use and run the Software for informational dissemination, pre-registration, tabulation, and reporting throughout the caucus process.” ... An email provided to Yahoo News also appears to show Seema Nanda, the CEO of the DNC, and the national party’s Deputy Chief Technology Officer Kat Atwater were involved in drafting the contract and requested the addition of the provision that gave them access to Shadow and the app. In the email dated July 30, 2019, Atwater provided an IDP official with draft text for the provision detailing the DNC’s access to the app. Atwater, in the email, said the provision was specifically requested by Nanda. ... Yet the contract demonstrated that the DNC should have had the opportunity to forsee some of the problems. One provision in the contract says Shadow would provide “monthly. written updates to the DNC regarding the Software status and timeline for implementation.” It also required Shadow to work with outside consultants and cybersecurity specialists, which the DNC could “choose in its sole discretion.” According to the source who worked on the caucus, the DNC did have Shadow work with an outside cybersecurity firm. The source blamed the DNC and its security consultants for some of the issues that took place with reporting the results on caucus night. View Quote |

Judge Puts Pentagon’s Giant JEDI Cloud Contract On Hold
A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Pentagon from moving forward with its massive cloud program while a lawsuit from Amazon Web Services, or AWS, is heard to determine whether President Donald Trump exerted undue influence in the decision to award it to Microsoft.
Judge Patricia E. Campbell-Smith granted Amazon’s motion for a preliminary injunction, stopping work on the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, cloud “until further notice of the court.” The parties have until Feb. 27 to propose redactions to Campbell-Smith’s decision. After the JEDI contract went to Microsoft in October, Amazon sued the Defense Department. The suit argues that the Pentagon made numerous errors in awarding the contract; it also states that Amazon is technically the far superior enterprise cloud provider, especially for hosting high-value secret and top-secret data. For instance, one of the requirements for JEDI is that the provider be able to host “top secret” data at Impact Level 6. Amazon has been hosting data at that level for the government for years. In December, Microsoft was awarded temporary, 90-day accreditation to host data at Impact Level 6. Amazon also argues that Trump has exerted undue influence over the decision with his frequent swipes at Amazon and its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos. (See link for rest of article) |

Not surprised it's sponsored by a state Democrat. See link for proposed AL bill.
Proposed Alabama law requires men undergo vasectomy after their 50th birthday MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WBMA) — A proposed Alabama law would require all men to undergo a vasectomy within one month of their 50th birthday or after the birth of their third child, whichever comes first.
Bill HB-238 was authored by Rep. Rolanda Hollis (D-Birmingham) would not only require all men over 50 to receive a vasectomy but it would also require them pay for the procedure out of their own pockets. The only part of the proposed bill that gives a reasoning behind it is, "Under existing law, there are no restrictions on the reproductive rights of men." |

Long read on wrongdoings we know about but also some background on FISA and what to do with the CIA/FISA moving foward.
From a lawyer who did not like the FISA law in 1978 and debated Antonin Scalia about it. Abolish the CIA and the FISA System ...All too often, they have used Intelligence to counter common sense. During the Cold War, arguments over secret tidbits about Soviet weapons allowed policymakers to sidestep the question before them: how shall we defend America? More recently, arguments about Iraq’s and Iran’s Weapons of Mass Destruction obscured the real question: what is our interest in the Middle East, and how shall we serve it?...
...At home as well, it turns out that lack of intelligence is more troublesome than lack of Intelligence. Almost all acts of terrorism are perpetrated by persons already well known to local law enforcement or to the FBI. The perpetrators are not “lone wolves” out of nowhere, but known wolves, known to Intelligence but not to intelligence. At home like abroad, our real need is for ordinary intelligence, along with ordinary virtues. View Quote |

In Victorian England (and past WW1 even), being caught having the gay would end in one's balls being severed form one's Perineal area.
It wasn't until the 50's when being a "Witch" was even legal, in England. The real question is why. See similarity between homosexuality (pirate and/or muslim) and seamen of global powers in the black powder era. Everybody was doing it. Raping little boys. Roving gangs covered Londonstan by mid 1700's and beyond. ***boys 2 MEN*** Men obviously ran the gangs, if you get my drift, but they grew up that way. It's cute, however, that America (covered in guns) thinks it is the only one that had it bad... The female children were only sold into sex slavery as a last resort to keep the other little girls alive. Eventually the "Victorian Era" happened, put an end to all that debauchery. It became taboo. The English people revolted, and forced a change in the laws of the land. At some point the "English Ruling Class" decided to rape the Irish, maybe as a last resort, to feed the gluttony of the rich? And now we are slipping back into it. And maybe a little back out of it. #Saudi Arabian Purge English sponsored T.H. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) to diddle kids and destroy the Ottoman Empire Caliphate. Which they did, but instituted something much worse. The Global Caliphate. IE Satanists, or perhaps just the latest power play over the millennia?? AKA Killary Klinton's Killers. Colloquially known as the KKK. Attached File I've seen compelling evidence, for values of "Internet" that Killary is Hitlers "unknown" daughter, raised by handler's to be his heir. Just saying. Maybe Hitler had a whole haram? How long have people tried to figure out why "Liberals Love Extremist Islam"? For all we know Killary is several years older than what "they" claim. And who knows who Chelsea's daddy is?!?! By now any reasonable reader would be questioning what they just read, and also exactly how much of it is verifiable truth, and how much is extremely plausible. #Not Just Obama's Birth Certificate. Notice how the Clinton and Obama parents were all DEAD (First "ladies" too) The feeling of revolting terror and nausea afterwards, (after fact checking), is not reason for concern, because it merely indicated that one is still sane, and can differentiate right from wrong. |

Not just the political stuff, but the number of "Stings" they set up to create bad guys, like there's not enough active bad guys already among us. That's the bit that irks me. They don't do the gumshoe hard detective work like they're rumored to have. Now it's surf social media for people bragging about a crime, or set up a trap and wait for suckers. Solving crimes they weren't a part of seems distasteful to them. When there's a slam dunk easy crime to solve, they swoop in to take control (and credit) from local agencies, when there's scant evidence, they're too busy. Maybe it's just the stuff I've read that gave me that perspective, what the movies portray them as doing is quite a bit different than the evidence has shown them to be doing. Full on SIGINT and not enough detecting/investigating. I suppose the FBI Crime lab and forensics are still solid, but the "lawyer police force" leaves a lot to be desired.

I suppose the FBI Crime lab and forensics are still solid, but the "lawyer police force" leaves a lot to be desired. One coup attempt is enough for me. |

Quoted:
Drug patents: the evergreening problem As any would-be inventor knows, coming up with something the world has never seen before can be tough. Tweaking something old and calling it new, on the other hand, is considerably easier. More at link. In the pharmaceutical trade, when brand-name companies patent “new inventions” that are really just slight modifications of old drugs, it’s called “evergreening.” And it’s a practice that, according to some who have looked into it, isn’t doing a whole lot to improve people’s health.
