The derived EDAR allele

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A derived G-allele point mutation (SNP) with pleiotropic effects in EDAR, 370A or rs3827760, is found in ancient and modern East Asians, North Asians, Southeast Asians, Nepalese,[5] and Native Americans but not common in African or European populations.

Experimental research in mice has linked the derived allele to a number of traits, including greater hair shaft diameter, more numerous sweat glands, smaller mammary fat pad, and increased mammary gland density.[6] A 2008 study stated that EDAR is a genetic determinant for hair thickness, and also contributed to variations in hair thickness among Asian populations.[7] Derived variants of EDAR are associated with multiple facial and dental characteristics, such as shovel-shaped incisors.[8][9][10][11] This mutation is also implicated in ear morphology differences and reduced chin protrusion.[12]

A 2013 study suggested that the EDAR variant (370A) arose about 35,000 years ago in central China, a period during which the region was then quite warm and humid.[13] A subsequent study from 2021, based on ancient DNA samples, has suggested that the derived variant became dominant among Ancient Northern East Asians shortly after the Last Glacial Maximum in Northeast Asia, around 19,000 years ago. Ancient remains from Northern East Asia, such as the Tianyuan Man (40,000 years old) and the AR33K (33,000 years old) specimen lacked the derived EDAR allele, while ancient East Asian remains after the LGM carry the derived EDAR allele.[14][15]

It has been hypothesized that natural selection favored this allele during the last ice age in a population of people living in isolation in Beringia, as it may play a role in the synthesis of Vitamin D-rich breast milk in dark environments.[16][17][18] One study suggested that because the EDAR mutation arose in a cool and dry environment, it may have been adaptive by increasing skin lubrication, thus reducing dryness in exposed facial structures.[19]

Besides being interesting in itself, this allele explains why East, North and Southeast Asian females typically have small breasts. ABN

We Can Now Answer the Question – Did NSA Director Mike Rogers Warn Donald Trump on November 17, 2016?

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The short answer is no; he did not.

Was NSA Director Mike Rogers aware that political spying was conducted through the use of searches on the NSA database?  Yes.  Did NSA Director Mike Rogers take action in April 2016 to stop the searches within the NSA database that were entirely due to political surveillance?  Yes.

Six months later, October 20, 2016, the extensive review of all the political surveillance searches done from November of 2015 to April of 2016 was completed; the NSA compliance officer briefed Director Rogers. Six days later on October 26, 2016, NSA Director Mike Rogers then informed the FISA court of the unlawful searches and his action to address the issue.

One month later on November 17th, 2016, NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers went to see President-Elect Donald Trump in Trump Tower, New York.  –SEE HERE– Director Rogers never told his boss DNI, James Clapper.  The very next day, Friday November 18, 2016, The Washington Post reported on a recommendation in “October” that Mike Rogers be removed from his NSA position.

“The heads of the Pentagon and the nation’s intelligence community have recommended to President Obama that the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael S. Rogers, be removed.  The recommendation, delivered to the White House last month, was made by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., according to several U.S. officials familiar with the matter.  […]  In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower. That caused consternation at senior levels of the administration, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters.”

Notice how the WaPo conflates the two issues. (1) Meeting with Trump (Nov), and (2) the recommendation to fire him (Oct).  The October recommendation to fire Rogers was likely based on the outcome of his decision to fully stop “about queries” of the NSA database and speak to the FISA court.

The recommendation to fire Rogers preceded his visit to Donald Trump, though the IC effort may have provided some additional motivation for the Rogers visit itself.

NSA Director Mike Rogers traveled to New York November 17, 2016, when a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) was set up for President-elect Trump to use following the November 8, 2016, election.

The next day, November 18, 2016, the Trump Transition Team announced they were moving all transition activity to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. –SEE HERE– Where they interviewed and discussed the most sensitive positions to fill.  Specifically, Defense, State, CIA and ODNI.

There was a great deal of speculation at the time surrounding the visit by Director Rogers and the move from Trump Tower to New Jersey.  Did Rogers tell President Trump about the political surveillance from November 2015 to April 2016?  We now know the answer is no, he did not.

Director Rogers did recommend an easier venue for the SCIF to operate with secured communication channels; but Rogers did not notify President Trump about the use of the NSA database for political spying.

April 26, 1996: Brigitte Bardot denounces ‘Muslim invasion’

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

 April 26, 1996

PARIS, April 26 — Former screen goddess Brigitte Bardot, now France’s best-known animal rights activist, Friday denounced what she said was a Muslim ‘invasion’ of France that may force her to emigrate. ‘My country, France, my homeland, is again invaded, with the blessing of successive governments, by an overflow of foreigners, particularly Muslims, to whom we pay allegiance,’ Bardot said in a column published in the newspaper Le Figaro.

‘Year after year we see mosques spring up everywhere in France, while our church bells fall silent for lack of priests,’ she wrote. Bardot also condemned the Muslim practice of slaughtering sheep during the Aid-el-Kebir festival, which she said involves ‘tens of thousands of poor beasts having their throats slashed in front of each other with knives that are roughly sharpened by clumsy sacrificers who must try several times… ‘Will I be forced in the near future to flee my country, which has become a bloody, violent place, to emigrate, to try and find elsewhere.. the respect and esteem which is, alas, daily refused us?’ she asked.

An anti-racist organization described Bardot’s statement as ‘repugnant, nauseous and unacceptable’ and said it ‘reserves the right to take appropriate legal action. This racist provocation shows… a disturbing trend in our society,’ it said. Bardot, 61, quit the movies in 1973 and has since devoted herself to an animal rights foundation that bears her name.

link with concise history of Vance and ‘his’ faction

Obummer could have been a good president if his handlers had been good people, if his elite faction had not been a bunch of sick f*cks. Time will tell what Vance backers will want from him and whether he has any pizzazz himself. It is in our interests that he and his faction be good, wise, pragmatic, pro-American and not anti-white.

Rare, ancient DNA marker indicates probable European ancestry in early North America

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

One of the world’s greatest genetic mysteries is how a DNA marker present in Europe reached North America, leaving no clear trail through Siberia or Alaska.

Scientists have been baffled by how Haplogroup X arrived more than 12,000 years ago, raising new questions about how the Americas were first populated.

Haplogroup X is a rare maternal DNA lineage, passed down from mother to child, found in both Europe and North America. 

Its unusual presence suggests that early Americans may have arrived in multiple waves, challenging the traditional view that all Native American maternal lineages came solely from Siberia via the Bering Land Bridge.

Other haplogroups provide a clear picture of the Asian origins of most Native American maternal lineages, which makes Haplogroup X’s unusual distribution all the more striking.

The mysterious DNA marker’s unusual presence suggests that early Americans may have arrived in multiple waves, challenging the traditional view that all Native American maternal lineages came solely from Siberia via the Bering Land Bridge (pictured)

‘That rarity makes it a powerful clue for tracing human history,’ Kostroman said. ‘When an uncommon marker appears in distant, disconnected regions, it signals a shared connection in the deep past.’

Haplogroup X is rare in Siberia and Alaska, with some researchers suggesting that it represents an earlier migration, possibly via a coastal route.

An analogy using photography that illuminates human interpersonal communication

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

image source

I mean no offense to anyone, not even the photographer, but this is an example of how bad normal photos were in the pre-cellphone camera days. It can serve as an analogy for how people communicate interpersonally before FIML. Before FIML, our communication will be restricted, unsophisticated, clunky, and though it may be expressive as in this photo, probably not what we meant or deeply wanted to say. You can see the people in this photo definitely do not do FIML: 1) because the technique had not been invented in 1970; and 2) because you can. It is my firm belief that when millions of people do FIML we will enter an age of really good communication, much better than today. Just as most people now having a good camera on them all the time has yielded a massive improvements in photography, so FIML will deeply improve the ways we speak and listen and feel about doing that. Cellphone cameras give us many opportunities to shoot good photos and lots of practice in how to make a good photo. FIML is not quite like a camera, but it is a kind of cerebral technology that results in partners communicating much better. When we understand the FIML technique and use it often, our communication will improve at least as much as photography has improved due to widespread use of cellphone cameras. ABN

Analysis of Russia Collusion Hoax — legal prosecutions and convictions unlikely

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

First things first. It might not be the popular thing to accept, but it is increasingly clear there is no way to get to any form of accountability or legal exposure for Russiagate or the manufacturing of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, anywhere near former President Barack Obama. The concentric circles of plausible deniability are just too extensive.

Essentially, despite the evidence of the FBI participating in a manufactured investigation predicted on false pretenses, all now supported with hindsight evidence, the fact that key IC officials, namely CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, presented the illusion of credible concern, inoculates President Obama from scrutiny.

As the Supreme Court noted, the President is protected from liability for “official acts” of his office. Yes, we all know these officials knew it was a ruse; however, in 2016 the CIA and FBI were presenting the information to Obama and saying the investigative value was potentially plausible. As such, Obama would have been within his official duty to tell the IC officials to chase down the information (continue investigating it).

Then, the January 5th, 2017, meeting documented by the infamous “by the book” Susan Rice memo, further inoculates President Obama for telling the IC officials to follow careful procedures as they continued investigating whether or not the Trump-Russia collusion was a factual concern. All of these elements lead to various tentacles of plausible deniability. No court is going to find criminal action within the decision-making, regardless of how ridiculous it may look in granular hindsight.

Are all the characters guilty of perpetrating a fraud for the expressed intent of a political narrative, yes. Are they criminally liable for it, extremely unlikely.

Grassley releases Declassified John Durham Annex

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The FBI, CIA, ODNI and DOJ declassified the annex to the John Durham investigation of the origin of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.  The declassified annex was released today by Senator Chuck Grassley.

~ You Can Read the Annext Here ~

First, the basic outline.  The John Durham Annex outlines how the CIA received information in mid-2016 from a “credible foreign source,” talking about Hillary Clinton’s campaign working with the FBI to manufacture a Trump-Russia conspiracy, as an October surprise.

Beginning in 2014 and continuing through 2016, Russian hackers gained access to the email accounts and main accounts of the Soros Foundation/Open Societies Foundation who was working with the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign.

What the hackers discovered was a trove of information showing how the Clinton Campaign was constructing a smear job against Donald Trump with the manufacturing of a fraudulent Trump-Russia conspiracy.  The emails and communication showed the Clinton Campaign was directly working with the FBI to create the smear.

A CIA source gained custody of the Russian analysis of the information.  The information was then shared with the CIA, who evaluated the Russian framework as “authentic” and “valid.”  The CIA then shared that information with the FBI, who said the information was “unreliable.”

Obviously, the FBI held a conflict of interest because the information received outlined their misconduct.  So, the FBI claimed the information gained from the hack was false and likely Russian propaganda.  However, the CIA deemed it credible because it was clearly happening in real time.

Additionally, this information was then used in the summer of 2016 by CIA Director John Brennan to brief President Obama on what the Russians knew about the Clinton Campaign working with the FBI to create this false political narrative.

Part of what the Russians knew from their intercepts was that President Obama would not support the Clinton campaign directly, but Obama had instructed Attorney General Loretta Lynch to assist Hillary Clinton’s efforts.  Lynch would work with FBI officials to exonerate Hillary Clinton from her email server scandal and then greenlight the FBI to assist with the Trump-Russia smear.

Richard Werner Exposes the Evils of the Fed & the Link Between Banking, War, and the CIA

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

UPDATE: Central banks are the single greatest control mechanism of human behavior. Their power extends well beyond their relations with other banks. It determines a lot of what happens in your country. And they are not under the control of voters. So its an extrademocratic institution which happens to be the most powerful [~2:04].

The above is Carlson’s paraphrase of a major point made by Werner, who then continues by saying, ‘the founding of the bank of England, which is a private company, a central bank, was done in order to wage war. Central banking and warfare are very closely linked’.

The US Federal Reserve is no different; it is also a central bank and was founded at roughly the same time as the Bank of England in order to prepare for WW1.

Moreover, both countries established the income tax at this time. The income tax ‘allows’ government to borrow money from the central banks.

Werner presents the strongest and clearest argument I have heard that central banks start wars and profit from them; and that central banks cause asset bubbles (e.g. real estate, equities) in order to bust small banks and consolidate power.

You can jump to the ~2:04 time stamp to hear this, and if that’s all the time you have, definitely do it.

Best is to listen to the entire interview as Werner provides a great deal of important background with many other insights into money, banking, credit and how to do all of that much better than allow a central bank to have secretive, authoritative control over your country. ABN
