Read: Sen. Johnson letter to Barr and Wray about govt. spying on journalist Attkisson

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin)

On January 8, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), head of the Homeland Security Committee, asked the Department of Justice and FBI to respond to longstanding questions about the government's intrusions into my computers.

Answers were due on January 22, but Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray have not provided a response.

This continues seven years of government stonewalling over the illegal spy operation.

Kellogg's to phase out use of "Roundup" on crops

Kellogg's recently issued a statement that it is working with its suppliers to phase out the use of a herbicide commonly known as "Roundup" on crops like wheat and oat used in its cereal. That's according to a story in gmwatch.org.

Roundup, made by Monsanto, is made using a controversial chemical called glyphosate. Several large jury verdicts have been awarded in recent years to people who claimed they got cancer from Round Up exposure.

Dr. Charles Benbrook, an agricultural economist, calls the announcement a "huge development." He says the easiest and quickest way to remove the herbicide from our diet is to change government regulations that currently allow for what he characterizes as very high levels of glyphosate in crops, according to the story.

Kellogg's statement reads, in part:

We know that some consumers have questions about the use of the herbicide glyphosate (also known by its brand name Roundup as a drying agent a few weeks before harvest, particularly with wheat and oats. This practice is done by some farmers in certain circumstances – like harvesting the crop more quickly if weather is challenging.

Although this practice is not widespread in our wheat and oat supply chains, we are working with our suppliers to phase ou using glyphosate as pre-harvest drying agent in our wheat and oat supply chain in our major markets, including the U.S., by the end of 2025.

READ: Attkisson v. Rosenstein complaint for govt. computer intrusions

The case Sharyl Attkisson has filed against former Justice Department official Rod Rosenstein and other former federal agents is moving ahead in Maryland court.

Attkisson recently announced a new lawsuit naming some of the federal officials involved in the illegal spy operation on her and other U.S. citizens. According to one of the agents involved in the spying, the operation was based in the U.S. attorney's office in Baltimore, Maryland under then-U.S. Attorney Rosenstein. It allegedly involved illegal spying on hundreds of innocent Americans.

To date, the Department of Justice has taken no action in response to the original 2013 announcement by CBS News, where Attkisson worked as an investigative reporter at the time, confirming that forensics proved Attkisson had been the victim of uninvited, long-term remote surveillance of her CBS computers.

Since that time, independent forensics teams have identified the government pathways and I.P. addresses used in the illegal operation. A former FBI Unit Chief has confirmed his part in helping Attkisson get an early forensics exam from a government forensics expert, identifying the fact that the surveillance software used to monitor her was government-owned. And a former National Security Agency (NSA) forensic specialist has signed a sworn affidavit confirming the government nature of the intrusions.

Read an article on Attkisson's lawsuit here. Attkisson's take can be found here.

However, going seven years, the Department of Justice under three different attorneys general has used taxpayer money to obstruct Attkisson's attempts to hold the guilty parties responsible in court.

Attkisson and her attorneys say they recently "jumped through a final hoop" in closing out the federal lawsuit against the federal agents, which the Department of Justice would not allow to move forward, and filing the new case in Maryland.

Iowa caucuses, illegal immigration and a Holocaust mystery

Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg: a young face and relative newcomer

The candidates who win the Iowa caucuses don't necessarily win the nomination or the presidency. But it’s the first vote of the 2020 campaign and will give a few lucky winners bragging rights and momentum.

Sunday on Full Measure, Scott Thuman will be back from a week in Iowa where he's been spending a little extra time with the relative newcomers who have not done the Iowa routine before.

Also this week, I'm back at the Southern U.S. border with Mexico where an Arizona county that was overrun with drugs from Mexican cartels has found an amazingly effective solution.

On patrol along the Arizona Mexico border

The answer cost very little money, didn't require federal help, and has nearly eliminated their drug trafficking epidemic.

And James Rosen will be with us to unravel a Holocaust mystery.

Assange is transferred out of solitary confinement in UK prison

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been transferred out of solitary confinement in a British prison, where he has been waiting for his extradition trial for over nine months. That's according to canberratimes.com.au.

Assange's contact and access to visitors was severely limited in what many saw as a punitive action, according to the story. If he is extradited to the United States, he will face charges of spying and conspiracy. Some consider it a landmark test of the protection of journalists' sources. Assange critics claim he is not a journalist.

Assange's legal team and other inmates reportedly led the effort to get him transferred out of solitary confinement, claiming that his treatment was unfair and unjust.

Assange's legal team claims that he is still being denied meaningful access to his attorneys.

Will Bernie get "cheated" (again)?

From: BernieSanders.com

As Iowa prepares for its caucuses, the first presidential votes of the 2020 election, it is worth harkening back to the 2016 campaign.

Below are some of the allegations related to Iowa and the 2016 election.

That is when there were allegations that the Hilly Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC) put their finger on the scale to cheat Bernie Sanders out of the nomination.

The Clinton campaign and Democrat party denied they did anything improper and said that the nomination of Clinton was fair and square.

The excerpts below are from political columnist Ted Rall July 8, 2016:

The following is from an article in The Guardian in 2016:

WATCH: Brexit leader: "Once we've left, we are never coming back"

A London scenic

Nigel Farage made an impassioned, final speech to the European Parliament, getting cut off when he and others in the British delegation waved British flags.

Farage is leader of the Brexit Party and member of the European Parliament for South East England.

The Brexit Party led the British movement to exit the European Union, which passed by a popular vote in 2016 but has faced repeated delays at the hands of British and European politicians who do not want it to happen.

After numerous delays in Brexit execution, Britain's conservative, pro-Brexit Prime Minister Boris Johnson won a commanding majority last month in a vote of confidence, brushing aside Labour Party challenges. Senior European Union political officials have now formally signed onto the Brexit terms Johnson forged, sealing the deal.

In his final speech to the European Parliament, Farage called the European Union "a bad project, it isn't just undemocratic, it's antidemocratic... it gives people power without accountability."

We're going. We will be gone...We love Europe; we just hate the European Union...No more being talked down to. No more being bullied."

Brexit Party Leader Nigel Farage

Some analysts say that other countries may ultimately follow suit and break away from the European Union.

Watch Farage speaking to European Parliament:

The Justice Dept. cover up of its spying on me and others-- continues.

The following is an excerpt of an article in American Thinker.

By Sharyl Attkisson

There has been a lot of water under the bridge since 2013 when CBS News first publicly announced the forensic evidence proving I was victimized by a long-term, remote effort to illegally spy on me and my CBS work through my computers. (You can watch the original news story at the link below):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8jaFOy9wFo&feature=emb_logo

A half dozen independent forensics exams later, with uninvited government IP addresses definitively identified as pathways into my computers, with forensic testimony from a former NSA specialist, with a sworn statement of confirmation from a former FBI Unit chief, and with a former federal agent confessing to being part of the government’s illegal spy operation against me and many other U.S. citizens,  it is reasonable to ask: Is the Department of Justice (DOJ)  alarmed by the shocking injustices and crimes? Is DOJ interested in holding accountable the federal agents who are responsible? Is DOJ concerned with making sure the activity has stopped and does not happen to others?

Apparently not.

Going on seven years now, the DOJ remains precisely where it started: in huddle down and cover up mode. Rather than acknowledge the forensic evidence and dig deeper to identify all of the agents who touched the illegal operation and all of the victimized Americans, and rather than being incensed by the confession of a former federal agent who admitting spying on me, DOJ has used unlimited taxpayer dollars to block pursuit of the facts.

In a just or fair system, the DOJ would  not have searched for legal excuses to dismiss the lawsuit I filed to bring the abuses to light… in fact, there would be no need for me to pursue a civil court case because the DOJ would have already prosecuted the guilty parties.

Yet here we are.
