The Governments of Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar Donated Multiple Millions of Dollars each to Clinton’s Charitable Foundation - Wikileaks Reveals HILLARY Clinton Knew About Saudi and Qatari Support for ISIS

UPDATE :🎩🎩🎩 Bob

UPDATE :🎩🎩🎩 Doug

Clinton says Saudi Arabia, Qatar provide ‘clandestine’ support to ISIS – WikiLeaks

Contrary to Qatar’s assurances that it does not support Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), Hillary Clinton apparently believes that they are in fact providing “clandestine financial and logistic support to IS and other radical Sunni groups in the region,” according to an August 17, 2014 email released by WikiLeaks on Monday. 


“While this military/para-military operation is moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region,” she wrote to Pedestal.

“This effort will be enhanced by the stepped up commitment in the KRG [Kurdish Regional Government]. The Qataris and Saudis will be put in a position of balancing policy between their ongoing competition to dominate the Sunni world and the consequences of serious U.S. pressure,” she added.

Clinton also named Saudi Arabia as a supporter of IS, a country which has previously been accused of funding other terrorist organizations, such as Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The kingdom also has a policy of torture and public executions, not entirely dissimilar to the actions of IS.

What pressure the US plans to put on the Saudi government remains to be seen. However, following the UN’s Committee on the Rights of the Child’s scathing report on the country’s human rights abuses, if the US doesn’t put pressure on the government, others may do so instead.

Earlier this year, it seemed that Qatar and the US had at least a working relationship in the effort to fight IS. In June, American B-52 Stratofortress bombers flew to the Al Udeid Air Base, where they were to be deployed to fight IS.
Saudi Arabia has also claimed to be on the US’ side in the fight against IS. However, actions speak louder than words. In September, an Al-Nusra commander identified as “Abu Al-Ezz” claimed that both the US and its Persian Gulf allies were providing his group with weapons.

While the US categorically denied arming the terrorist organization in order to fight IS, State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters, “there are those – not the US – who back various opposition groups in Syria, who might also seek to arm them,” and that would lead to escalation.

Podesta is not the first person to accuse Saudi Arabia of funding IS. In July, Britain’s Foreign Affairs Sub-committee urged Gulf states to apply pressure and legal barriers to prevent royal family members from sponsoring extremist organizations.

UK Foreign Office senior civil servant Dan Chugg said when “dealing with royal families, wealthy princes and those kind of things,” it is “difficult with some of these countries to know exactly what is government funding.
He implied that Saudi Arabia had donated money in the past, saying the Foreign Office must “work with local partners in the region to ensure they have the capacity and resolve to rigorously enforce local laws to prevent the funding of Islamic State, so that the group cannot benefit from donations in future.

IS and Al-Nusra may not be the only groups benefiting from Gulf state money. In May, the New York Times reported that Muslims in Kosovo were being indoctrinated into Wahhabism by extremist clerics who received funding from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and others.

Saudi charities began popping up in Kosovo following the unrest of the Balkan wars and offered to rebuild mosques and provide assistance in exchange for following stricter Islamic rules, such as requiring women to wear headscarves.
If Saudi Arabia’s funding of spreading Wahhabism in Kosovo is anything like its alleged funding of IS, then the US may be in for a bigger fight. For example, Al Waqf al Islami, one of the Saudi funded organizations, pumped in more than $11 million from 2000 through 2012.

    Leaked emails show coordinated Obama/Clinton effort to mislead public about Iran deal
    October 10, 2016 1:49 pm By Robert Spencer
    31 Comments

    Find out exactly how disastrous the Iran deal was in The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran. The consequences will not be fully apparent for years. Eventually, they will be obvious to everyone.

    “Clinton Campaign, White House Coordinated Pro-Iran Deal Talking Points,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, October 10, 2016:

    Senior Clinton campaign officials were in direct contact with the White House to coordinate pro-Iran talking points in an effort to boost last summer’s comprehensive nuclear agreement, according to leaked emails that show the Obama administration and top figures in Clinton’s campaign played a role in promulgating information about the deal that later turned out to be factually inaccurate.

    The emails, released late on Friday in a massive document dump by the hacker website WikiLeaks, show coordination between Hillary Clinton’s team and the White House, which spearheaded a massive effort to create what senior officials described as a pro-Iran “echo chamber” to mislead Congress and Americans about the nature of the agreement.

    The director of national intelligence and Department of Homeland Security have accused “Russia’s senior-most officials” of hacking and leaking emails posted to WikiLeaks and other sites to influence and interfere with the 2016 election.

    An April 2, 2015, communication sent from top White House press liaison Eric Shultz to Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri includes several pages of pro-Iran talking points that were later discovered to contain misleading information.

    “Love it!!” Palmieri responded to Schultz’s email. She subsequently forwarded the information to leading Clinton aides, including Cheryl Mills, Brian Fallon, and Nick Merrill, among others.

    The disclosure of these emails threatens to entangle the Clinton campaign in a growing scandal surrounding secret White House efforts to mislead Congress and the public about the nuclear deal.

    Congress has been investigating these efforts for months and has uncovered evidence the Obama administration inked several secret side deals with Iran, including the rollback of key sanctions on Tehran and a $1.7 billion cash payment.

    The Clinton campaign has been criticized in recent days for doubling down on its support of the Iran deal and for making false claims about its progress....

  5. John Podesta is a UFO enthusiast -

    Hacked: Astronaut warned Clinton chairman against 'war in space'

    By Rudy Takala (@RudyTakala) • 10/11/16 12:57 AM


    Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta had dealings with two high-profile space enthusiasts seeking to get to the bottom of extraterrestrial life, according to newly-released emails, including one former astronaut who warned against a "war in space."

    The messages, sent by punk band member Tom DeLonge and the late Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, were included in a batch of more than 4,000 emails obtained from Podesta's inbox and published by WikiLeaks over the last several days.

    The emails reveal Mitchell, the sixth astronaut to walk on the moon, first writing to Podesta in January 2015, when the latter was still serving as a counselor to President Obama. "I understand you are leaving the administration in February. It is urgent that we agree on a date and time to meet to discuss disclosure and zero point energy, at your earliest available [sic] after your departure," Mitchell wrote.

    Zero point energy is a theoretical method of reaching a practical speed during space travel by "warping" space. Mitchell added that he would bring his "Catholic colleague Terri Mansfield," who describes herself online as the director of a task force on extraterrestrial intelligence, "to bring us up to date on the Vatican's awareness of ETI."....

    ....Mitchell wrote a second time in August 2015, apparently in advance of a scheduled talk with Podesta online. "Because the war in space race is heating up, I felt you should be aware of several factors as you and I schedule our Skype talk.

    "Remember, our nonviolent ETI from the contiguous universe are helping us bring zero point energy to Earth," Mitchell wrote. "They will not tolerate any forms of military violence on Earth or in space.

    Well thankfully they sound peaceful enough.

  8. Did Hillary not notice that the Saudis were funding Islamic radicals in the country her husband bombed in former Yugoslavia? Did she miss the Saudi funding of the Mujahideen, Reagan’s founding fathers? Did she miss the consequences of her vote in Iraq? Was she oblivious to the CIA scam to take arms from Obama/Clinton destabilized Libya to send to destabilized Syria?

    Was she too focused on the children (obviously not children in the Middle East) to appreciate or care about the consequences of her and her husband’s callous disregard for human life in the Middle East?

    New Wikileaks emails released just moments ago include a shocking admission by Clinton campaign manager John Pedestal that Hillary Clinton “has begun to hate everyday Americans”.
    The whistleblower organization dumped part 3 of its Podesta email release today and this has to be the most jaw-dropping revelation yet.
    The email, sent by Podesta on April 19, 2015, contains a discussion on what talking points Hillary should use in framing her candidacy for president in order to get a good head start.
    “I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans, but I think we should use it once the first time she says I’m running for president because you and everyday Americans need a champion,” writes Podesta.
    “I think if she doesn’t say it once, people will notice and say we false started in Iowa,” he concludes.

    Saudi Arabia aiding al Queda?

    Well, duh. Of course, they helped them. They helped create them along with the US and Pakistan. Now, I think most of the al Queda's aid is coming from Qatar though.

    Saudi Arabia and ISIS? Of course, SA is supporting ISIS, at least in Syria. However, they must realize by now that their attack dogs can turn around and bite them too what with attacks by both groups in the Kingdom itself. But that won't stop SA from funding other Islamist groups. It's what they do. And, of course, the US knows all this.

    What pressure the US plans to put on the Saudi government remains to be seen. However, following the UN’s Committee on the Rights of the Child’s scathing report on the country’s human rights abuses, if the US doesn’t put pressure on the government, others may do so instead.

    I'll believe it when I see it. Until the media started shining the light on the Yemen conflict the world ignored it. The US was still selling cluster bombs (a more efficient way of producing the same effects as Assad's barrel bombs)to SA until a couple of months ago when the pressure of world attention got to be too much and talk of war crime trials started scaring a few people.

    The UN? The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child were about to add SA to their list of child abusers this year for stoning, flogging, and executions of children. Then SA threatened to pull all funding from the organization so the UN said, "Never mind.'

    A perfect example of what drives this world, the Golden Rule, the cynical one not the Jesus one.

    Gee, who to believe a ruthless, terrorist thug or the US government? That's a toughy.

    In this case, I'd come down with believing the ruthless, terrorist thug. IMO, since the war in Syria began, the US was more interested in taking out the Assad regime than in fighting ISIS. That's why for the first year of the war there, the US didn't do shit. There was no progress at all merely a series of perfunctory bomb runs taking down ISIS bed-down locations and 'dirt bridges'. The US was perfectly willing to allow ISIS run free as long as they were fighting Assad. It wasn't until last year when Russia entered the fray and started taking out ISIS oil convoys and facilities that the US was forced to take the fight seriously mainly out of embarrassment.

    Unlike a couple of nitwits here who can't differentiate between current threats to US interests and long term existential threats to US interests, the US realizes that ISIS is simply a relatively small group of raghead thugs who will never pose an existential threat the the US. Israel and other countries in their neighborhood realize the same. Israel has ISIS on their northern border; yet, ISIS is down around third on their list of major threats.

    I wouldn't believe a damn thing I heard coming out of the Obama administration regarding what their aims are in the US. Actions speak louder than words.

    All the Balkans have seen an increase in Wahabism and radical Islamism since SA began pouring $ hundreds of billions into the area. Kosovo is now the main crossroads for radical Islamic fighters and recruits coming from North Africa and heading to the ME.

    A couple months back I saw articles indicating the US was thinking about continuing their encirclement of Russia by putting nukes into the Balkans.

    It's said the MSM is in the tank for Obama and Clinton, automatically supporting everything they say whether true or not and denying or ignoring any conflicting info.

    Many claim this is intentional and is the result of liberal bias within much of the media. It's an easy assumption to make but I have to wonder if that is the whole story. Could it be that a lot of this apparent bias is predicated more on stupidity than on narrow-mindedness. Perhaps these people actually believe the pap they put out.

    The latest example was in the last debate. Now, the moderators failed to fact-check Hillary when she lied about not being SOS when Obama issued his red-line comment. I won't fault them on this since it's kind of hard to keep all the details separate (she didn't leave until 2013). However, when Trump was asked to talk about Aleppo. His answer was rather rambling and convoluted but he finally got around to accusing the US of being foolish for announcing all of their plans in advance such as the pending assault on Mosul. Raddadz jumped in with the following...

    RADDATZ: There are sometimes reasons the military does that. Psychological warfare.

    TRUMP: I can’t think of any. I can’t think of any. And I’m pretty good at it.

    RADDATZ: It might be to help get civilians out.



    At this point, had I been Trump, I would have invited Raddatz to come up on the stage if she wanted to get into the debate. She certainly wasn't moderating anymore. She wasn't even fact-checking. She was throwing out a bunch of hypotheticals. She wasn't even debating, she was arguing.

    My point though is that Raddatz is known in the media as a kind of foreign policy "expert". She couldn't help but jump in and show off her FP bona fides. The problem, of course, is that she is simply feeding back CENTCOM talking points that she is fed everyday and in doing so she shows how credulous she as become. No doubt she feels pretty damn good when a general or some high government official sits down face to face with her and 'explains' things to her directly. It's got to be a boost to her ego. But these are the people we are forced to listen to daily. Always parroting the party line. Always arrogantly displaying their credulity.

    Is it purposeful deceit or are they just that stupid?

    Hillary's late-night TV pals aren't funny

    I’ve noticed a disturbing trend among many new late-night hosts in this election cycle: They’re not funny. Instead of doing jokes about the two main presidential candidates, they are unapologetically functioning as Hillary Clinton surrogates to take out Donald Trump.
    Jay Leno used to advise comedians to check their political activism at the door: “You start out as a comedian … then you become a commentator, then you’re out of show business.” Once the agenda takes priority over the punchline, the joke’s over.

    Today’s late-night comedians would do well to heed Leno’s advice. Their role should not be to proselytize but to highlight the numerous foibles of the presidential candidates, both of whom are among the most disliked ever. Recently, Full Frontal host Samantha Bee attacked late-night colleague Jimmy Fallon for conducting a light-hearted interview with Trump during which the affable Tonight Show host messed up the billionaire’s hair.

    While Tonight is by definition an entertainment program, Bee didn’t seem to get that. On her own so-called comedy show, Bee took a vicious and direct swipe at both Fallon and NBC for going easy on Trump, “who is playing footsie with fringe hate groups.”

    Bee’s self-righteous diatribe is hardly the stuff of great comedy…

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Colbert has made no such appeal to Clinton, who last appeared on the show in April. That prerecorded interview took place over lunch in a restaurant. Colbert’s questions included these: Is Bill a vegan? What’s the worst thing you’ve had to eat at an event? You’re a grandmother? Since Colbert did not make one serious query, that would make him either a “p---y” or yet another Clinton propagandist. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say it’s the latter.


    I agree with the story. The only late-night guy I can watch any more is Fallon (sometimes Kimmel). The rest of them have gone batshit crazy with this election. And as the article says, ‘they are just not funny’.

    Fallon is the only one who seems to understand his is an ‘entertainment’ show not a political soap box. Accusing Fallon of going easy on Trump is a ridiculous statement. Anyone who watches his show knows he goes easy on everybody sometimes to an annoying degree. I sometimes wonder if he doesn’t take a little blow in his dressing room prior to the show.

  24. Astroturf ‘Outrage Machine’ of Paid Trolls Floods Social Media to Counteract Negative News About Hillary Clinton

    A significant portion of online support for Hillary Clinton is manufactured by paid “astroturf” trolls: a large team of supporters who spend long hours responding to negative news on the internet about her. The Clinton SuperPAC Correct the Record, which is affiliated with her campaign, acknowledged in an April press release that it was spending $1 million on project “Breaking Barriers” to pay people to respond to negative information about Clinton on social media sites like Facebook, Reddit, Instagram and Twitter. That amount has since increased to over $6 million. The trolls create a false impression that Clinton has more support than she really does, because one supporter will frequently create multiple anonymous accounts.

    Libby Watson of The Sunlight Foundation observed that the astroturf effort goes far beyond merely defending Clinton, to targeting and intimidating those who criticize her. She told The Daily Beast, “This seems to be going after essentially random individuals online.”

    Hillary’s Anonymous Trolls First Targeted Bernie Sanders

    The Clinton Machine Has Used Anonymous Trolls at Least as Far Back as 2007

    The anonymous fake accounts come are nothing new for Clinton. In 2007, paid campaign staffers and volunteers on her campaign were caught creating anonymous accounts to artificially inflate her support. The influential Blue Hampshire blog discovered the ruse, when several anonymous accounts were all created in succession on the site from the same Clinton campaign IP address, which then bolstered pro-Clinton diaries.

    Clinton hired a campaign manager this election cycle known for his scorched earth tactics. Robby Mook started a listserv in 2009 known as “Mook’s Mafia” to share political information with associates. He says things like “smite Republicans mafia-style” and “F U Republicans. Mafia till I die.” He has also said, “First, the mafia never separates, it just continues to grow and expand and move into other states in order to destroy Republicans.” By choosing Mook, Clinton reveals the type of campaign she wants, Alinskyite tactics of do anything to win.

    In the past few weeks there has been a steady deterioration in relations between the West and Russia:

    Moscow has suspended three nuclear agreements with Washington;
    Nuclear-capable missiles have been moved to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, putting them within easy reach of neighbouring Poland and even Germany;
    Three Russian warships equipped with cruise missiles have been deployed from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean; and

    ...

    The Russian leader knows his military manoeuvrings which have so alarmed NATO will probably not be met by an outgoing President Obama whose "red line" over Syria was no line at all and seen widely seen as exposing a total lack of resolve.

Nick got in an argument with the Sociology Department over job terms and said 'fuck you I'll go bartending' and he did too. First at The Elks Club then The Nobby Inn. Once the word got out about toe tapper widestance he was toast. I had met the guy twice, once he went on and on about getting AIDS from the air. Anyway I wrote him a one sentence letter -

      "Resign for the good of the Party"

      I got back

      "Thank you for being forthright"

      He was gone in a few weeks.

      Nick got a city wide city sendoff when he died.

      People used to say of Nick......look him up under aardvark in the dictionary...

      By unanimous acclaim here, he was The Greatest Bartender In USA History.

      If Larry Craig had been a Democrat back east there would have been no controversy at all.

    5. Truth and tale sometimes intermingled in Nick's mind, a little like I observe in Quirk's mind.

      He claimed to have been in WWII in the Secret Service, and to have a son in the Army during the Iraq war....

      I do know he got a PhD from WSU cause we had an insider there look it up. But he couldn't get along with them.

      The obits don't make mention of his working at the Elks Club but he also did that a lot.

      He claimed to me privately one time that he had the whole bar 'wired' so he'd know what was really going on. Said he'd tip me off if I was in any danger.

      As one lady states, it didn't matter how your ordered your drink, when it arrived it was always done his way, to your definite benefit.....he can't be accused of ever pouring a short drink or cheating his customers...

      The Inkster is the pen name of a nice lady who used to work for the local paper.

      I wish Pete Harriman would come back. Miss him too. He went mid west somewhere.

      The old town is changing....we now have a gay bar and an 'international' restaurant.

      Finally it got so the Nobby couldn't compete with the fast food joints, and as their food service business declined.....well the time came to close.....

  31. Cowper, William
    British, (1731-1800)

    The Love of the World Reproved:
    or, Hypocrisy Detected


    Thus says the prophet of the Turk,
    “Good Mussulman, abstain from pork;
    There is a part in every swine
    No friend of follower of mine
    May taste, whate’er his inclination,
    On pain of excommunication.”
    Such Mahomet’s mysterious charge,
    And thus he left the point at large.
    Had he the sinful part express’d,
    They might with safety eat the rest;
    But for one piece they thought it hard
    From the whole hog to be debarr’d;
    And set their wit at work to find
    What joint the prophet had in mind.
    Much controversy straight arose,
    These choose the back, the belly those;
    By some ’tis confidently said
    He meant not to forbid the head;
    While others at that doctrine rail,
    And piously prefer the tail.
    Thus, conscience freed from every clog,
    Mahometans eat up the hog.
    You laugh — ’tis well — the tale applied
    May make you laugh on t’other side.
    Renounce the world — the preacher cries.
    We do — a multitude replies.
    While one as innocent regards
    A snug and friendly game at cards;
    And one, whatever you may say,
    Can see no evil in a play;
    Some love a concert, or a race;
    And others shooting, and the chase.
    Reviled and loved, renounced and follow’d,
    Thus, bit by bit, the world is swallow’d;
    Each thinks his neighbour makes too free,
    Yet likes a slice as well as he:
    With sophistry their sauce they sweeten,
    Till quite from tail to snout ’tis eaten.

  38. HIPOCRISY

    Aborting the Trump Revolution

    Patrick J. Buchanan | Wednesday Oct 5, 2016 8:51 AM

    In taking that $915 million loss in 1995, and carrying it forward to shelter future income, Donald Trump did nothing wrong. By both his family and his business, he did everything right.

    In a famous 1947 dissent, Judge Learned Hand wrote:
    “[T]here is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. … Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere can’t.”

    This writer’s father spent his career as a tax accountant who studied tax codes and utilized every permissible deduction to keep his clients’ tax bills as low as legally possible.

    That was his business, as it is the business of every accountant, including those who prepare the returns of the politicians and journalists piling on Trump as some sort of scofflaw tax cheat who has evaded his moral obligations to the state.
    One needs a machete to cut through this hypocrisy.

    Hillary Clinton benefited from a $700,000 loss on her 2015 income taxes. In the days of poverty in Arkansas, she took a $2 deduction for a contribution to charity of Bill’s old underpants.

    Five weeks before Election Day, Trump’s taxes have displaced the former Miss Universe as the critical issue, as determined by the anti-Trump media.

    Their motivation is not difficult to discern. Their goals are two. First, make Trump unacceptable as an agent of change. Second, keep the people distracted from their determination to rid America of the incompetent and corrupt ruling class that controls this capital city.
    Consider but a few of the disasters that establishment does not want discussed or debated, or the American people thinking about, when they head for the polls in November.

    There is the great betrayal of the American working class, the deindustrialization of the country, and the loss of economic independence it took America a century to achieve.

    This disaster was produced by the trade deals enacted by Beltway politicians for the corporate contributors of their campaigns whose highest loyalty is to the bottom line of a balance sheet.

      On behalf of these specials interests, U.S. politicians made the People’s Republic of China the greatest manufacturing power on earth and halted the traditional annual rise in wages of our working men and women.

      Beijing is now using the wealth compiled to build up their air, naval and missile forces to push us out of Asia and back across the Pacific.

      Then there is the illegal invasion of America and Europe by the impoverished masses of the south, who have never before been fully assimilated into any Western nation.

      Unrivaled since the last days of the Roman Empire, this invasion has Americans pleading for a security wall on their border, propelled Britain’s exit from the EU, and could yet cause a breakup of Europe.

      What is at stake here? Ultimately, Western civilization.

      We have wars going with no end in sight in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen. We have Beltway hawks howling for a “no-fly zone” and the shooting down of Syrian planes, through the chairman of the Joint Chiefs warns this could mean war with Russia.

      The War Party does not want Americans heading to the polls thinking of the thousands of dead and wounded and trillions of dollars lost in their misbegotten adventures in the Middle and Near East.

      Trump is new to national politics. Yet, with all the mistakes he has made, and all the savagery of the media attacks upon him, he is still, remarkably, very much in the race for president of the United States.

      That his crowds remain huge and his following loyal, and that he remains competitive, testifies to the depth of the detestation of our cultural, political and media elites out there in Middle America.


      ** But what happens if Hillary Clinton’s media acolytes keep the country’s focus on trivial pursuits, and she prevails?

      ** What happens to America, if the uprisings and rebellions in the two parties – Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in the GOP, the Bernie Sanders revolt in the Democratic Party — are turned back, and we get in 2017 the same old people and same old policies we repudiated in 2015 and 2016?

      ** What happens if the election, in which America demanded change in both parties, results in change in neither party?
      One wonders: Do America’s reigning elites believe the Trump movement is but a passing phase? Do they believe that the rise of populist and nationalist parties across Europe is but a seasonal epidemic of the flu that will die out, after which we can all get back to building the New World Order of Bush I and Barack Obama?

      Will history look back upon 2016 as a system failure?

  40. MORE HYPOCRISY

    The US says Saudi Arabia’s bombing of Yemen was an act of “self-defense” against Iranian missiles on its border. While there are similarities with the Syrian conflict, Washington sees “differences” between the deaths of over 150 civilians, blamed on Riyadh, and the situation in Aleppo.
    “It is different,” the State Department’s John Kirby has told AP’s Matt Lee, when asked whether Capitol Hill sees a difference between the recent attack in Yemen and “what you accuse the Russians and the Syrians and the Iranians of doing in Syria, particularly Aleppo?”

    The question specifically referred to an airstrike that targeted a funeral service in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, killing more than 150 civilians and injuring over 525.

    Located on opposite sides of Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Syria bear few similarities, but have one thing in common: a civil conflict between their governments and rebels, which later evolved into larger-scale wars, with the intervention of foreign forces. However, the rules of the game appear to be different for each case.

    For the State Department, the Saudi pledge to investigate the bombing seems to offer some reduction in the significance of its actions.

    “The Saudis publicly said that they were going to investigate this as – for the potential of it being, in fact, wrongly implemented and wrongly executed,” Kirby said. That is something, he added, he hasn’t seen the Syrian army or the Russian military do “not once.”

    When asked about Russia’s recent demand for an investigation into an attack on a humanitarian convoy in Syria, Kirby said “it’s not exactly been a clarion call.”

    Addressing the attack in Sana’a, the UN called the bombing “outrageous” and pointed out constant strikes, specifically at places of mass congregation, which lacked proper recourse.

    “Since the beginning of this conflict in Yemen, weddings, marketplaces, hospitals, schools – and now mourners at a funeral – have been hit, resulting in massive civilian casualties and zero accountability for those responsible,” the UN said in a statement Monday.

    Yet, when it comes to Saudi Arabia and its intervention in Yemen, the State Department said it is important to remember that Riyadh has a “pressing requirement for self-defense” because of threats it faces from Iranian missiles launched by Houthi rebels near the border.

    However, there is no similar judgment regarding Syria, where rebel groups along with Al-Qaeda-linked terrorists presumably hold people at gunpoint in Aleppo.

    Kirby accused Moscow and the Assad forces of “a concerted” and “very deliberate” effort to take “to subdue” the city by force.

    As RT learned from locals still living in western Aleppo, it was not Russian forces that terrified them.

    2. VIDEO: Mystery ‘medical’ aide back by Hillary’s side after long absence
      October 11, 2016
      By Kyle Olson

      After a weeks-long disappearance, Hillary Clinton’s mystery aide is back by her side.
      The man, who some have said is a medical aide, could be seen quickly appearing as Hillary was making her entrance into a Miami rally with Al Gore on Tuesday.

      Watch for the man in the tan suit suddenly appear behind her: VIDEO

      As she moved about 10 feet onto the stage, he did not move to follow her.

      While some have claimed he is a Secret Service agent, his behavior today — not being in position while the candidate was making her entrance — would lend credence to the idea that he serves another purpose.

      Matt Drudge pointed out today the man hasn’t been seen with Clinton since her dramatic collapse on September 11.

      “Mysterious medical/security agent has NOT been seen by Hillary’s side [or anywhere] ONCE since the 911 seizure,” Drudge tweeted today. “What did they do with him?!”

      Prior to Clinton’s collapse, he was regularly at Clinton’s side.

      On September 6th, he could be seen exiting the front seat of her motorcade van before venturing to the side — away from the awaiting cameras — then emerging with Clinton.

      VIDEO

      Questions began after the same man was seen rushing to Hillary’s side at an early August Las Vegas rally after a small group of protesters began yelling near the stage.

      He could be seen putting his arm around her, urging her to continue talking, and waving off Secret Service agents, despite the potential security threat not being contained.

      “You’re okay,” he could be heard saying on the hot mic. “Keep talking,” he said as she stood in silence.

      VIDEO

      “We’ll handle it. We’re not going anywhere,” he said. “Keep talking.”

      “Okay, we’ll keep talking,” Clinton told the audience.

      Will history look back upon 2016 as a system failure?

      Of course. All the stars were aligned for a major shift in US foreign and domestic policy. The people and the country were ready. Clinton is so establishment, so personally flawed, so disliked. She has the temperament of a harpy on PMS and a cackle that curdles the blood. She is a congenital liar and is recognized as such. She is wedded to the same neocon/liberal interventionist foreign policy that has brought this country low. Her disapprovals are through the roof. She would probably lose to a personable skunk. No way she could win. And yet, it looks like she will.

      The American people attached their hopes to two alternatives, Sanders and Trump. Bernie proved the establishment and its allies are still powerful and willing to do anything to hold onto that power. Trump is a blustering buffoon with serious pathological defects who appeals to the worst in the American character. He is likely the only candidate who could have possibly trumped Hillary when it comes to disapproval ratings. Given the, IMO, decadent cheapening of American culture perhaps it's only appropriate that this clown would be the one appear to try to reverse America's declining place in the world.

      The only good thing that came out of the Sanders and Trump candidacies is that they have shown that it is actually possible to challenge the status quo. That leaves hope that some day we may actually see some change.

      While it's hard to predict Trump's long term effect on American politics, in the short term it's a little easier.

      In the absence of some blockbuster October surprise, it appears Clinton will win. Then the question becomes, 'how much power will she wield?' This is where the 'Trump effect' may be most obvious. While Americans have a high opinion of Obama, a huge majority (2/3) say the country is on the wrong track.

      While the GOP will likely still hold onto the House the 'Trump effect' could result in the GOP margin there being cut by half or more. It's a toss up right now whether the GOP can hold onto the Senate.

    Looking for dual-citizenship? Shoot for the stars.

    Proposals for the “first nation state in space” have been unveiled by a team of scientists and legal experts, who say the move will foster peace, open up access to space technologies and offer protection for citizens of planet Earth.

    Dubbed “Asgardia” after one of the mythical worlds inhabited by the Norse gods, the team say the “new nation” will eventually become a member of the United Nations, with its own flag and anthem devised by members of the public through a series of competitions.

    According to the project website, Asgardia “will offer an independent platform
    free from the constraint of a land-based country’s laws. It will become a place it in orbit which is truly ‘no man’s land’”.

    Initially, it would seem, this new nation will consist of a single satellite, scheduled to be launched next year, with its citizens residing firmly on terra firma.

    Speaking to the Guardian through an interpreter, the project lead Igor Ashurbeyli, said: “Physically the citizens of that nation state will be on Earth; they will be living in different countries on Earth, so they will be a citizen of their own country and at the same time they will be citizens of Asgardia.”

    “When the number of those applications goes above 100,000 we can officially apply to the UN for the status of state,” he added...

  46. Wretchard:

    Because the traditional information targets of enemy hackers are SCADA-like systems, classified databases and command and control, Hillary and Obama may have been truly blindsided by Putin's decision to attack the relatively soft information infrastructure of the Democratic Party.

    In retrospect you could see Putin setting the admin up as Russia laid the foundation with Wikileaks. Putin understood that Obama's center of gravity was the digital backroom where all the dirt was, and consequently the political vulnerability.
    Hillary made it easy for the Kremlin by pushing her dirty laundry into an unprotected server.

    Obama was looking the other way when Putin hit him with a right to the jaw. Putin outflanked the defenses which were all in the wrong place. The administration was probably uncertain at first how badly compromised things were. Now they have seen some of the cards and fear the worst.
    The astonishing thing is that Putin, like Alexander at Gaugamela, went straight for the king.

    This is a very high risk strategy because now the king must fight for his political life. Obama famously said America could "absorb" terror attacks. Benghazi didn't get a rise out of him. The attack on the Mason didn't even raise a stir.

    Obama believed there were hundreds of layers Putin had to penetrate before they got to him. He never thought they would come directly at the forge of his power. The one thing he does care about is his political position and he is visibly stung.
    He's been had and is, for perhaps the first time since he took office, genuinely angry and perhaps frightened.

    The unresolved question for Obama is what Putin's ultimate intentions are. Is Vladimir playing the blackmail game? If so how much does he want? Or is Putin actually out to politically destroy Obama? Playing for keeps in other words.
    That's why Obama is making vague but threatening noises. He's not sure how far to go.

  51. GREENSBORO, N.C. — President Obama is weighing a “proportional” response to Russia’s efforts to interfere with this fall’s election campaign through hacking, the White House announced Tuesday.

    “The president has talked before about the significant capabilities that the U.S. government has to both defend our systems in the United States but also carry out offensive operations in other countries,” Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, told reporters traveling with Mr. Obama on Air Force One to Greensboro, where he was holding a town hall-style meeting with students and campaigning for Hillary Clinton.

    “There are a range of responses that are available to the president, and he will consider a response that is proportional,” Mr. Earnest said.

    Whatever the president opts to do would probably not be announced in advance and may never be acknowledged or disclosed if it is carried out, Mr. Earnest said.
