House Democrats announce first public hearings in Trump impeachment inquiry
Nicholas Wu and Christal Hayes
USA TODAY•November 6, 2019
WASHINGTON – The first set of public hearings in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump will happen next week, the House Intelligence Committee announced on Wednesday.
"Next week, the House Intelligence Committee will hold its first open hearings as part of the impeachment inquiry," said Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff on Twitter, adding that more hearings were to come.
Schiff, speaking to reporters outside the secure room in the Capitol basement where State Department official David Hale was testifying, said that the open hearings will allow the public to see the evidence and hear from witnesses themselves and “make their own determinations” about the allegations against the president.
"The most important facts are largely not being tested," Schiff said. "We are getting an increasing appreciation for just what took place during the course of the last year and the degree to which the President enlisted whole departments of government in the illicit aim of trying to get Ukraine to dig up dirt on a political opponent, as well as further conspiracy theories about the 2016 election that he believed would be beneficial to his re-election campaign."
The Oct. 31 vote to formalize the impeachment process laid out a format for the public phase of the inquiry.
The first hearings will be held on Nov. 13 with Ambassador William Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary George Kent.
Taylor currently serves as the head American diplomat in Ukraine and previously told congressional investigators behind closed doors that a White House meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as well as security aid would be conditioned on investigations into Democrats.
What does it mean?: The Trump impeachment is all about an allegation of quid pro quo.
Kent, the State Department official overseeing European and Eurasian policy, said he raised red flags within the department about the influence of Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani in Ukraine policy making.
Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch will testify publicly on Nov. 15.
Yovanovitch, who was dismissed as the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine following criticism in conservative media amplified by figures like Donald Trump Jr., told investigators she was told to tweet support for Trump if she wanted to keep her job...

"SOUND" KNOWLEDGE
Talking vibrations
Our Human body contains 70^%+ liquid
Every cell “communicates” with the other cells through the network of liquids
Ever cell has its own Electro magnetic field EMF
During the life time experiences, cultural and religious believes the magnetic field in its origin becomes “polluted” out of tune, dis-harmonized when we grow up
SOUND DO NOT HEAL
The physical body (entity Earth) is the container of 70%+ liquid and one of the best transporters of (sound) vibration. The music and/or sound we hear with the ears brings images into the imagination and has its effects on the mental body ( entity Fire) The vibration of the sounds that are coming at us through the Air. Penetrates through the skin into the container (as a pebble thrown in pond) expressed in feelings in the emotional body ( entity Water)
SOUND DOES HARMONIZE
And can re-activate the self-healing power that every human has. Available, when used with awareness and intention of the sound creator
Every cell, every organ in the human body has the memory of its original state (vibration number)
Any stress or pain in the system causes disharmony. As a pollution in the magnetic field.
The sound vibrations created with the gongs (by the method I use) are carrying all vibration numbers of cells and organs, transported through the liquid system of the body.
As a massage from inside out, touching the tension spots and making them more flexible again.
Cells and organs recognize their original “tone” and start to resonate back to their “number” of origin
ALL THAT EXISTS IS ENERGY IN MOTION (E-MOTION)
After 20 years self study as sound creator this became my believe and truth at the moment

False memories....instilled quite nicely...
...in a recent blog, I wrote about Germany's PC self loathing, NAZI guilt prompted policy to ban homosexual conversion therapies. May be harmful to the homosexuals it purports to help, as most alt left policies often are. Don't take my word for it, just look at Democrat ruled US larger unlivable cities. But another such issue from psychotherapy is surely that of instilled false memories via directed counselling techniques. It semed to begin decades ago, sometimes in efforts to victim shame. Likely abused kids, and some victimized adults, were interviewed by marginally trained police/hospital social worker types, using all sorts of problematic tools and techniques (anatomically "correct" dolls, leading questions, etc.) to obtain convictions, and to yank kids out of their nuclear families. Much has since improved, with better techniques to convict these abusive perps. But as a spin off, for a time, there was a small movement in directive counselling to morph real memories into, well,---pick your own politically biased policy on victims and families. Notice, unlike the movement to protect the small percentage of persons practicing deviant s*xual choices of behaviors, we never heard of policies to ban such therapies. Kids and rape victims could never compete with the darlings of the alt left---homosexuals. Ya think?

Uh oh. Another nail in Trump from the Impeachment Inquiry
Today is was revealed that a key witness, Gordon Sondland, US ambassador to the European Union, reversed his testimony.
Previously, it was apparent, that he TRIED to protect the president, but inconsistencies and illogical statements did more damage than good for the (so called) president. Thus, he finally spoke the truth after.
"refreshing" his memory.

Key Donald Trump impeachment witness changes testimony over Ukraine 'quid pro quo'

5 November 2019 • 8:57 PM
A key witness in the Donald Trump impeachment inquiry has reversed his evidence, indicating he did believe there was a quid pro quo in which US military aid would be denied to Ukraine unless it publicly launched a corruption investigation into Joe Biden.
Gordon Sondland, the US ambassador to the European Union, had initially denied any knowledge of a link between the $391 million in aid and Mr Trump's request that Ukraine launch an inquiry into his political rival.
But in a revised statement Mr Sondland said: "In the absence of any credible explanation for the suspension of aid, I presumed that the aid suspension had become linked to the proposed anti-corruption statement."
Mr Sondland said that, after "refreshing my recollection," he remembered telling a senior Ukrainian official on September 1 that the aid would "likely" be stopped unless there was an investigation into Mr Biden and his son Hunter, who sat on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
His private testimony, and the amended statement, were released by the Democrat-led committee pursuing the impeachment inquiry.
The impeachment inquiry is primarily focused on a July 25 conversation between Mr Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Mr Trump froze the US military assistance to Ukraine shortly before speaking to Mr Zelenskiy, prompting accusations from Democrats that he had misused taxpayer money destined for a vulnerable US ally for personal political gain.
Mr Sondland detailed how at one point Mr Trump nearly hung up on him when he asked whether the White House was withholding the aid in return for an inquiry into Mr Biden.
He said Mr Trump told him: "I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. I want Zelenskiy to do the right thing."
Mr Sondland said Mr Trump was in a "bad mood". He added: "I wouldn't say he hung up me, but it was almost like he hung up on me."
The diplomat said on September 1 he discussed the matter with Andriy Yermak, an adviser to Mr Zelenskiy.
Mr Sondland said: “I said that resumption of the US aid would likely not occur until Ukraine provided the public anti- corruption statement that we had been discussing for many weeks."
He said he believed the plan was "ill-advised" but he did not know "when, why or by whom the aid was suspended."
Mr Sondland was asked by the committee if he thought the idea was illegal. He said: "I'm not a lawyer, but I assume so."
When asked a second time he said it would be "improper" and added: "I don’t know the law exactly. It doesn’t sound good."
Congressional Democrats also released testimony from Kurt Volker, the former US special envoy to Ukraine
He said Mr Trump had told him to "talk to Rudy" - his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani - about Ukraine matters.
Mr Volker said the president told him: "They are all corrupt, they are all terrible people. I don't want to spend any time with that."

Kat Von D...
Tattoo artist, Katherine Von Drachenberg aka Kat Von D came on my radar a generation ago. Her work was flawless and intricate with the kind of details you'd expect to see engraved on a $100 bill.
She became obsessed making herself the canvas and naturally, the artists who worked on her couldn't come close to her perfection to detail. By that time, I lost interest in her work as she became in the spotlight of drama and culture.
It's been years, but I see in the news today that tattooing has gone beyond designs and people are getting solid blacked out ink... Kat Von D is also on the list getting blacked out tattoos of a new trend. Well, hey! forget about all those beautiful details, just dip your arms in black and cover them up!

zits that come outta nowhere...
I came out of an appointment, got in my car and felt an itch on my earlobe. Scratching was the first instinct. Unfortunately, it was a pimple in the making. I'll be at my office in an hour or so. Hopefully the bleeding will stop by then.

Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, graciously permitted being a guest in New York City this past Thursday on The Late Show almost immediately after her work was done with the vote in the House of Representatives stetting forth the rules of the impeachment inquiry.
In an effort to undermines her passion for the truth, over the many years, I've witnessed Republicans frequently lie, mischaraterize, and demonize the lady.
However, here is an opportunity to witness her, as being pressed by Colbert's often funny, yet revealing questions, and to better understand her and also why the impeachment inquiry is absolutely necessary.
Due to network commercials, it's a 3 part interview.

Mikail Gorbachov.....
... the old reformed communist leader is 88, and in failing health. Did grant a rare interview to the Beeb, where he warned, again, of the dangers of atomic war. He tried to reform the economic system in his country, but of course corruption had the stronger hand. New oligarchs, with tight relations to the new pols, and the military, quickly took over. Mineral, pipeline and oil concerns, circumventing fairer neonationalization, were scooped up for kopeks on the rubble. The lumpen proletariat are on the whole better off, it's true, but almost all are still struggling for their daily bread, oily Wodya, not to mention western jeans. And increasingly, the West is seen as a threat to Mother Russia. Natoization of former slave states, almost all now with bustling economies, under more democratic rule, and much more,---reunite age old fears of encirclment and domination. And the important treaties worked out in wisdom and good faith between Gorbachov and that prototrumpian monster Reagan, are due to expire. Recall how the ueber left and biased media fretted that the Gipper would BRING ON nuclear war, in the day, rather than make it less likely. Anyone see similarities to the now three year, serially failing, attacks to overturn by coup, the 2016 election? There are much more auspicious pictures of life for our children today. These weapons should be cut back to only a very few, for tactical. not strategic purposes, in each nuclear power. A pleasant start to improve the world. then we can get on to other real problems.
