James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas might have got off to a wobbly start but they have emerged as one of the best in the business of independent journalism. The very lengths that the mainstream media, government and Big Tech will go to to silence their investigations is testament to the work they do. After all, as the saying goes, journalism is printing what someone else doesn’t want printed. Or splashed on the internet.

Certainly, Planned Parenthood didn’t want it splashed all over the internet that their employees appeared to be haggling over the price of baby parts. The full weight of the Establishment swung into action against Project Veritas’s source, David Daleiden. Daleiden was dragged through the courts, with some very big names, such as Kamala Harris and Fusion GPS, ranged against him.

Recently, though, there have been counter-claims that Planned Parenthood lied under oath during its legal pursuit of Daleiden.

Now, a new investigation claims that none other than the US government is involved in the “baby parts” trade.

Last week, legal accountability group Judicial Watch dropped a bombshell: a nearly 600-page report proving the U.S. government has been buying and trafficking “fresh” aborted baby body parts. These body parts, purchased by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to “humanize” mice and test biologic drugs in scientific experiments, came from babies up to 24-weeks-old gestation, just weeks from being born.

Well, 16 weeks: let’s be accurate. But still, 24 weeks is well within the range of viability: a baby born at 24 weeks has a 70% chance of surviving, most likely with few ongoing complications.

Still, it’s one thing to listen to Planned Parenthood executives jokily haggling over foetal/baby lungs, livers and kidneys at nice lunches, quite another to learn that the US government is in the market, big time.

Recent emails uncovered by Judicial Watch between FDA employees and the California-based Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) prove the agency spent tens of thousands of dollars buying aborted babies for unethical scientific experiments between 2012 and 2018. In 2018, the Trump administration terminated the contract, halting government fetal tissue research due to concerns the contracts were unlawful. Judicial Watch’s new FOIA Request adds 575 pages of records to its existing 2019 lawsuit against the agency.

This is not the first time ABR has been in the spotlight, as the company was under congressional investigation for its long-standing involvement in fetal tissue trafficking. One of the oldest fetal tissue procurement firms, the company makes millions every year by harvesting organs like lungs, livers, eyeballs, and brains from aborted babies and re-selling them at a profit.

Not only do the emails appear to confirm that the FDA is buying the products of late-term abortions, but that they may well be complicit in “partial-birth” abortions, as described in a medical dictionary:

“The body of the fetus is then drawn out of the uterus feet first, until only the head remains inside the uterus. The physician then uses an instrument to puncture the base of the skull, which collapses the fetal head. Typically, the contents of the fetal head are then partially suctioned out, which results in the death of the fetus and reduces the size of the fetal head enough to allow it to pass through the cervix. The dead but otherwise intact fetus is then removed from the woman’s body.”

When an ABR employee reassured the FDA they were working with doctors who performed late-term abortions, he admitted some tissue was unusable from a procedure that injects a poison called digoxin into the baby, destroying its cells and tissues. Once the chemical has done its work, an intact, dead baby is delivered. This method makes fetal tissue specimens unusable in experiments; with digoxin off the table, the likelihood partial-birth abortions were used is sickeningly high.

Besides the ethical questions all of this raises, it is alleged that US government agencies are breaking the law.

These gruesome excerpts are just a sample of records substantiating the 2019 lawsuit Judicial Watch filed against HHS, which houses the FDA. In March this year, a federal court ordered the agency to release records it withheld about purchasing organs of aborted babies, saying it found “reason to question” the transactions violated federal law.

The court’s decision found that the U.S. government bought second-trimester livers, thymuses, brains, eyes, and lungs for hundreds of dollars apiece from ABR, stating ABR could collect “over $2,000 on a single fetus it purchased … for $60” and “the federal government participated in this potentially illicit trade for years.”

No wonder they wanted so badly to take David Daleiden down.
