Pelosi’s Parliamentary Form of Government – 117th Congress

.
This section contains information about each of our so-called “Working Groups” that are currently underway.

During our 19 years of existence, we have had 5-6 so-called Working Groups whenever a particular policy issue (1) may require immediate action on the spur of the moment (rendering addressing it at the next regular monthly meeting impractical), and/or (2) may require long-term attention.

*****
Recent examples in the second category (“long-term attention”) are

(1) Our 2016-2018 Working Group to oppose the Destruction/Extinction of Great Salt Lake to grow alfalfa hay to feed Chinese cows, and

(2) Our 2018-2019 Thorium-Fission Working Group to solve global warming 100% in short order WITHOUT having to invade other countries militarily (such as China to prevent it from bringing on stream another monster-size coal-fired electric-generation plant EVERY WEEK) when the only economic green-energy source is nuclear (which even Bill Gates recognizes) and it is 100% safe if the fuel is thorium which is incapable of exploding so it cannot be used to produce a bomb, and which does NOT even need cooling systems or containment chambers.

*****
APPALLING example in the first (“short-fuse”) category --

The need for Working Groups in the first category was first recognized more than 12 years ago -- as described on the face of this bulletin board for Sec. 3 entitled “Possible Topics for Future Meetings” in the portion entitled “SHORT-FUSE NOTICE” describing, inter alia, the Yale University Biology Department’s creation of “Chimeras” with 50% human DNA and 50% Chimp DNA and PLANS TO CREATE “Chimeras” with 75% human DNA and 25% Chimp DNA.

Appallingly, this information was brought to our attention by a report on the PBS Newshour comprising an interview of a Yale Biology Prof. by Gwen Ifill, Co-Anchor and Managing Editor of the PBS NewsHour.

(1) “Appallingly” because Gwen Ifill who conducted the interview, was oblivious to the issue of the Nazi’s definition of a Jew based on the percentage of Jewish heritage and the Ante-Bellum American South’s definition of African-American based on the percentage of Sub-Saharan-African heritage.

(2) But, even more “appallingly,” Gwen Ifill failed to ask the obvious question = What happens if the 50%-50% “Chimaera” then already created happens to exhibit as DOMINANT TRAITS 100% Human DNA and as RECESSIVE TRAITS 100% Chimp DNA!!! Which, of course, would mean that Yale U. was treating as a lab rat a “Chimaera” that is 100% Human!!!

Gwen Ifill’s report of the Yale Biology Department’s Human/Chimp “Chimeras” was the topic of our 4/9/2008 meeting for which attendees were required to watch “The Island” – a 2005 movie starring Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor who are clones of wealthy individuals who have financed the creation of their clones so that their vital organs can be “harvested” if the wealthy individuals ever need transplants. [“Harvesting” meant, of course, death for the clone!!!]

*****
Chimera Reprise and Our “Short Fuse” Response -

Unfortunately, a Proposal from the National Institute of Health (NIH) regarding “Chimera” research appeared in The Federal Register of 8/5/2016 and had a 9/6/2016 deadline for public comments!!!

So our 9/14/2016 meeting, which was the first for which our focus had not already been determined as of 8/5/2016 under our normal rules, was too late.

We formed a “Short Fuse” Working Group and filed comments with the NIH before their 9/6/2016 deadline!!!

Dear Friends,

Many of you have inquired about the significance of news reports that Speaker Pelosi reported in a virtual meeting yesterday of her Democrat Caucus that she has instructed The House Rules Committee, in the event President Trump does not resign immediately, to be prepared to move forward immediately on, inter alia, Rep. Jamie Raskin’s 25th Amendment bill.

The news reports say she also instructed the Rules Committee to be prepared to move forward immediately on another impeachment.

At this point, it would appear that Speaker Pelosi is just trying to generate sensational headlines like she did on 10/9/2020 when she held a press conference to announce her support for Rep. Jamie Raskin’s H.R. 8548 entitled “To establish the Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of the Office, and for other purposes.”

After all, even if Rep. Raskin’s bill is reintroduced in the 117th Congress (NB: after an extensive Google search, I cannot find any evidence that it has been, but reintroduction and the Rules Committee taking action can all occur with lightning speed), it would also have to pass the Senate and be signed into law by President Trump himself!!!

BTW, I’m sure Speaker Pelosi is smart enough to realize that if the bill reaches President Trump’s desk, he would probably veto it.

OR EVEN MORE IRONICALLY, he might wait until his last day in office and sign it on the way out the door so that it would only apply to President Biden!!!

Accordingly, I would recommend that we wait to see whether Speaker Pelosi really does want to have the 117th Congress’ version of H.R. 8548 enacted if it will only apply, at least initially, to President Biden and not President Trump.

Your friend,

John K.

PS – Vis-à-vis Speaker Pelosi’s instructions to the House Rules Committee to be prepared to move forward immediately on another impeachment if President Trump does not resign – that is beyond the scope of this Working Group.
