Input: If Bernie Sanders does n’t manage to wrestle the Democratic nomination from Clinton at the Democratic Convention, Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party is the perfect option for Americans longing for systemic change. Endless war, perpetual quagmires, and failed policy decisions have been the legacy of Bush, Clinton, and Obama’s battle against global terror. There’s been a fivefold increase in terrorism fatalities since 9/11, and our foreign policy has made the world, and America, less safe. While Bush started our path towards endless war, and Clinton helped him, President Obama has witnessed the rise of ISIS under his tenure. Dr. Jill Stein gives every American a choice.

Input: Let me say a few more words about this. Snowden has long claimed that he took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution” (see here and here), and he has implied that he was fulfilling this oath when he stole and distributed the documents. “The oath of allegiance is not an oath of secrecy,” he told Bart Gellman. “That is an oath to the Constitution. That is the oath that I kept that Keith Alexander and James Clapper did not.” Let’s assume that Snowden is right that his oath to the Constitution trumps his employment agreement secrecy duties (but see here; cf.

Input: The woman who held the severed head has been identified as a 38-year -old national of Uzbekistan, a former Soviet republic in Central Asia, who is accused of killing the child in whose family she worked as a nanny. She was dressed in black, proclaimed she was a “terrorist” and was shouting “Allahu Akbar,” according to media reports, although no explosives were reportedly found on the woman after her detention. Concerned about a possible backlash, Russia's Muslim leaders urged against linking the incident with Islam, the TASS news agency reported. “This is an issue of an absolutely unhinged person, so it would be completely erroneous to associate some actions with Muslims and Islam, on the basis of clothing or some slogans,” the head of Moscow's Muslim council, Ildar Alyautdinov, was quoted as saying in a statement. He also expressed condolences to the child's family, adding: “Every Muslim will feel that pain as their personal tragedy,” TASS reported.

Input: In 2014, the Marshall Islands – a Pacific Ocean territory with 55,000 people – accused nine countries of “not fulfilling their obligations with respect to the cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament”. They included China, Britain, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia and the United States. The government, based in the Marshall Islands capital of Majuro, said by not stopping the nuclear arms race, the countries continued to breach their obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) – even if the treaty has not been signed by countries such as India and Pakistan. The Marshall Islands had decided to sue the world’s nuclear heavyweights as “it has a particular awareness of the dire consequences of nuclear weapons”, it said. Between 1946 and 1958 the United States conducted repeated nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands, Majuro’s representatives said in papers filed in court.

Input: Only a total of 14% of eligible adults cast a vote for either Hillary or Donald in the primaries; 86% did not bother to vote, or voted for someone else (including Bernie). The two major parties could care less whether that falls to 10% or 5%. This time around it looks like both the Democrats and the Republicans obstructed access to the ballot box. Why not? They do not want voters to select the candidates.

Input: The revelation of Burt’s simultaneous lobbying and campaign-advising comes at a time of mounting concerns about Russian attempts to manipulate the presidential election. Private security experts and American intelligence officials have concluded that recent hacks of the Democratic National Committee, state elections systems, and political figures were likely carried out by Russian government hackers. Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly professed admiration for Putin and called into question whether he would honor the United States’ mutual defense obligations to NATO allies should they face Russian invasion. Said Burt of the apparent attempts to subvert the election, “It does appear to be a lot of suspicious activity on the part of the Russian government.” Authors:

Input: He underscored that it was crucial to put an end to the oppressive Assad regime, and enter a political transition process where the legitimate demands of the Syrians can be met. Syria's main opposition group will not return to peace talks until their humanitarian demands are met, chief coordinator Riad Hijab said Wednesday, after the U.N. suspended negotiations in Switzerland until Feb. 25. The group "will leave Geneva tomorrow (Thursday) and will not return until humanitarian demands are met or (we) see something on the ground," Hijab told reporters. The High Negotiations Committee "came [to Geneva] because of these assurances, but the opposite happened," he said." Nothing transpired on the humanitarian front, and the regime caused the political process to fail."

Input: I could see that, if instead of having a trade deficit worldwide of $ 800 billion, we had a trade positive of $ 100 billion, $ 200 billion, $ 800 billion. So how has it helped us?” Here Trump has stumbled on the dirty little secret of the post-World War II security architecture so beloved by our elites: for the privilege of paying for their defense, and in effect militarily occupying our allies-cum-satellites, we allow them to flood our markets with tariff-free goods, while they wall off their markets with trade barriers and subsidies. As the Old Right economist and prophet of empire Garet Garrett put it at the dawn of the cold war, it’s a peculiar sort of empire in which “everything goes out and nothing comes in.” It’s really quite interesting to see Sanger take on the role of the defender of our role as “the indispensable nation” – although to be fair, it’s his job to challenge the candidate – and see how Trump argues in favor of a new policy, one that recognizes the limits of power.

Update 1:29 p.m.: World Net daily published an article back in 1998 titled “Federal Land Grab Called ‘Political’.” In the article, the author points out how Utah Republican Jame Hansen authored a bill at the time known as the “Utah Schools and Lands Exchange Act of 1998.” According to the report, this bill passed in June of 1998, and gave “Utah 139,000 acres of federally held land, certain mineral rights, and $ 50 million in exchange for all of Utah’s claims to lands within national parks, monuments, forests and federal areas” under then U.S. President Bill Clinton’s orders, further demonstration how the Clinton Crime Family has been using their vast political influence to loot some of the best assets of the Corporation of the United States, selling them for pennies on the dollar to private foreign corporations and one world bodies like the United Nations. This whole animal goes back the Ronald Regan era and possibly further.

For the next 11 years, he shuttled between Geneva and far-flung smallpox hot spots — obtaining funding, coordinating with nations including the Soviet Union amid Cold War tensions, and inspiring heroics from the tens of thousands of field workers who ventured into countries racked by deprivation, natural disaster, political instability and war. The campaign, which cost an estimated total of $ 300 million, employed a strategy called ring vaccination that was credited to the American epidemiologist William Foege. Rather than attempting to vaccinate everyone — a technique determined to be superfluous — the WHO located smallpox patients, isolated them, vaccinated everyone who had contact with the victims, and then vaccinated everyone who had contact with those people.

Input: The writings of Friedrich Nietzsche made a lasting impression; Spencer found his critiques of equality and democracy darkly compelling. He identified with the German philosopher’s unapologetically elitist embrace of “great men” such as Napoleon Bonaparte and the composer Richard Wagner. Yet Spencer found little in Nietzsche about the organization of the state; it was only after entering the humanities master’s program at the University of Chicago that he discovered Jared Taylor, a self-proclaimed “race realist” who argues that blacks and Hispanics are a genetic drag on Western society. Spencer told me that a top Trump adviser once helped him with fundraising and promotion for an on-campus event featuring an influential white nationalist speaker. Years later, Spencer would through his Radix Journal help spread a metaphor used to explain the jarring experience of waking up to a different worldview.

Input: The twin U.S. goals in Syria have been ending the violence that already has claimed some 400,000 lives, according to United Nations estimates, and seeking a political process to replace Assad, whom President Barack Obama has said "must go." But while Washington and Moscow have both expressed hope they can find a way to cooperate against IS, Kerry's proposal was already in trouble due to the competing objectives of the Cold War-era foes as well as resistance from U.S. military and intelligence officials. U.S. officials questioned Russian and Syrian claims that their aim in evacuating civilians from Aleppo was to clear the way for humanitarian assistance to reach the besieged city, where 200,000 -300,000 civilians remain with only two to three weeks of food on hand." Why would you evacuate a city that you wanted to send humanitarian aid to?" asked one official.

Although Manafort is out, his longtime deputy, Rick Gates, will take over as the Trump campaign's liaison to the Republican National Committee, senior communications adviser Jason Miller tweeted Friday afternoon. Hillary Clinton's campaign seized on Manafort's departure as a chance to hammer Trump for his repeated overtures to Russian President Vladimir Putin, which they have characterized as dangerous." You can get rid of Manafort, but that doesn't end the odd bromance Trump has with Putin," Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said in a statement.

Input: In addition to the dire situation in the war-ravaged state, a Taliban breakaway faction that remained silent for nearly a year has now reportedly appointed a new leader. In a video obtained by AP, a group called Mahaaz-e-Dadullah, named the nephew of the late chief, who was killed by the Taliban in 2015, a new head. In the footage the group vowed to fight “foreign forces” in the country and also take revenge for the death of their assassinated leader. The latest development would further complicate the US-brokered reconciliation process in Afghanistan, Washington announced. “Anytime you’ve got any splinter groups emerging, that does make those efforts more complex,” Mark Toner, US State Department spokesperson said during the press briefing on Wednesday.

You do it before you do schlock impersonations of Chinese businesspeople (" We want deal! "), before you retweet a bogus meme claiming 81 percent of white homicide victims were killed by blacks (the real number is 15 percent), before you mimic people with neurological disorders, and before you suggest that gun enthusiasts might take a shot at your opponent. And you definitely do it before you destroy the modern Republican Party by birthing into the mainstream an aggressive white-nationalist movement, whose entire identity is centered around walling itself off from America's future multicultural majority. In other words, you do it before you tear down a 162-year -old political organization to replace it with a smaller, more radicalized, more automatically-losing coalition – not after.

Four former hostages who shared cells with Mueller, speaking publicly for the first time about their shared ordeal for ABC News ' "20/20" broadcast," The Girl Left Behind," airing Friday, say the Prescott, Arizona, humanitarian aid worker was a courageous 25-year -old who inspired them.

Third, he has armed America’s enemies with a talking point that will be used against us whenever we decry rigged elections abroad: even the leader of one of our two major political parties believes that the American electoral system is no better than that of despotic regimes the world over. Despite being urged by many of his supporters to keep fighting during the Florida recount in 2000, Vice President Al Gore conceded the election to Governor George W. Bush in the interest of national unity, stating that, “[T]onight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.” George W. Bush’s election was certified by a Republican secretary of state in Florida, where his brother was then governor.

A spokesman for the FBI’s Washington Field Office, which led the Guccifer investigation, had no comment on the extradition, the timing, and any potential intersection with the Clinton email probe. On or about March 31, Lazar was extradited 3,700 miles to Alexandria from a prison in Arad, Romania, where he has been serving a seven-year sentence for hacking crimes committed in his native country. His targets in Romania were prominent government officials and political figures whom he often taunted under the name of Micul Fum or “Little Smoke.” Following his 2014 conviction, Lazar was effectively neutralized in prison and no longer a threat, which makes his transfer to the U.S. all the more noteworthy.

Input: Further, it was through Lazar’s hack of Blumenthal’s account that Clinton’s personal account was first revealed. During an April 29 phone call with Fox News, Lazar said he wanted to work with the U.S. government." I was always showing that I want to cooperate … like two years [ago] when I met with the American authorities,” he said, adding that he showed he wanted to “cooperate and talk to the FBI agents” during the plane journey to the U.S. when he was extradited. Though Lazar had agreed to meet again with Fox News the week of May 16, an official at the detention center in Alexandria, Va., where he’s being held, later informed Fox News Lazar was no longer taking visitors at this time. A former Justice Department official, who declined to speak on the record due to the sensitivity of the FBI investigation, said it is not usual for defense attorneys to advise their clients to cut contact with the media as a plea agreement is finalized – as any discrepancies between the agreement and comments to the media can diminish the value of a client’s statement.

Input: Deemed “CableGate,” Assange planned to release confidential cables, or communications, unveiling damaging internal conversations between State Department personnel and its foreign assets and allies. Prodded by the looming CableGate, Clinton met with staff on Tuesday November 23, 2010 shortly after 8 a.m. on Mahogany Row at the State Department to attempt to formulate a strategy to avert Assange’s plans to release an enormous batch of 250,000 secret cables, dating from 1966 to 2010. Assange had professed for months to rain the internal cables down on Clinton and President Obama. The collective fear was the context of the secret cables would hamper U.S. intelligence gathering and compromise private correspondences and intelligence shared with foreign governments and opposition leaders. Splashing such juicy details on television news shows and the front pages of major newspapers in the country was great for the media but lousy for intelligence and foreign policy.

Input: Obama was unsure of his motive and cautioned Americans against "jumping to conclusions." Until late 2015, the administration declined to call Fort Hood a terrorist attack, preferring the Newspeakish "workplace violence." When ISIS-linked terrorists decapitated their American captive James Foley and released the video on the internet, Obama went golfing. He later said he regretted this, but that couldn't erase the signal of indifference. After Islamic extremists in Paris attacked the Charlie Hebdo offices and a Jewish supermarket in January 2015, Obama spoke of vicious killers who "randomly shoot a bunch of folks at a deli in Paris."

Input: As a result of a sharp decrease in oil revenue, the terrorist group has turned to trade other kinds of contraband, which has even made its way to France, Frederic Encel, professor of International Relations at the Paris School of Business, told the French newspaper Atlantico. “Under French pressure after the Paris terror attacks in November last year, the Americans and Russians increased their airstrikes on the ' nerve centers ' of the Islamic State (also known as ISIS), that is, the transport routes which take oil to Turkey,” Encel said. “As a result, Daesh barbarians, like other criminal regimes, have increased other forms of trafficking. This includes facilitating the local production of goods: cigarettes, food, cotton, and of course weapons and drugs.” Encel also said that ISIS terrorists have earned millions of dollars from smuggling goods, some of which has ended up in France.

Input: According to one of the sources, the Pentagon will underscore the need to fund all three areas of a US strategic deterrent "triad." This includes a new Air Force bomber, a replacement for the Ohio-class submarines that carry nuclear weapons, and new nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles. The budget will also reportedly fund the procurement of materials for the new submarines that take a long time to acquire, with funding of the first full new submarine to follow in fiscal years 2021. The sources added that the Navy will spend over $ 4 billion on research and development of the new submarines, plus over $ 9 billion in procurement funding over the next five years. The Navy will request funding for two Boeing F / A-18E / F Super Hornets as part of the fiscal 2017 war budget, and 14 in the fiscal 2018 budget, one of the sources said.

He added that such measures would not apply to the graves of Soviet soldiers, for which Poland will continue to care. Soviet war memorials have fallen into disrepair and been regularly vandalized in Poland, where the Soviet role in World War II is viewed with ambiguity or outright hostility. In Russia, the official narrative is that the Red Army liberated Poland from Nazi occupation. Yelena Sutormina, chair of development of public diplomacy and the support of compatriots abroad chamber, has called on the UNESCO cultural and scientific agency to block the decision of the Polish government, RIA Novosti reported.

Input: At least 18 of 31 trucks in a U.N. and Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) convoy were hit along with an SARC warehouse, said U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric. The convoy was delivering aid for 78,000 people in the hard-to-reach town of Urm al-Kubra in Aleppo Governorate, he said. U.N. aid chief Stephen O'Brien said initial reports indicated many people had been killed or seriously wounded, including SARC volunteers, and that if the "callous attack" was found to be deliberate it amount to a war crime." Notification of the convoy ... had been provided to all parties to the conflict and the convoy was clearly marked as humanitarian," he said in a statement, calling for an immediate, independent investigation. The attack appeared to signal the imminent collapse of the latest effort by the United States and Russia to halt Syria's 5-1/2-year -old civil war.

Sheremet led tributes at his memorial service." The last time we met was at the funeral of Boris Nemtsov, and of course I couldn't have known that a similar thing would happen to Pavel," Anatoly Lebedko, leader of the Belarussian opposition party United Civil Party, told Reuters. In 2002, Sheremet won a journalism prize from the Organization for Security and Co‑operation in Europe (OSCE) for his reporting on human rights violations in Belarus, including the disappearances of opposition politicians and journalists. The OSCE called on Wednesday for action to address the safety of journalists in Ukraine.

Input: “Our greatest enemy is the Iranian regime that has declared war on us,” the defense minister said of the threats facing Israel. “Iran tried to open a terror front against us on the Golan Heights,” he said in reference to efforts by Iranian proxy Hezbollah to plan attacks on Israel. With its nuclear deal and recent lifting of sanctions, Tehran “has escaped international isolation” and become a “central player” in Syria, he continued. Both the US and Russia are treating Iran as “part of the solution” to the Syrian civil war, Ya’alon said. “Iran determines future of Syria and if it leads to perpetuation, Iranian hegemony in Syria will be huge challenge for Israel,” he said.

Input: This article was originally published by EurasiaNet.org. Russia has announced the details of a new shipment of arms it is sending to Armenia, a relatively rare move likely connected with Russia's ongoing tension with Turkey. Last week, the Russian government announced that it would be providing Armenia with a $ 200 million credit to buy equipment including multiple-launch rocket systems, anti-tank missiles, handheld antiaircraft missiles and upgrades to tanks. The credit was announced last year, as an apparent concession by Russia amid large-scale street protests in Armenia against the country's Russian-owned electricity company.

Input: But while Russia’s operation has n’t succeeded by any means in ending resistance to the regime, it has significantly weakened the rebel groups that have largely been on the defensive ever since. In the near future, and end to airstrikes on rebel-held areas wo n’t be enough to let the rebels threaten the regime, which in the last year has been reinforced by tens of thousands of Iranian-led Shi’ite -militia fighters. If Clinton is indeed serious about what she says and the United States and its allies imposed a no-fly zone effectively, the move might save the lives of tens of thousands of Syrian civilians and create a new environment for reaching a diplomatic solution. It could also be the move that finally checked Putin’s aggression in the region and elsewhere. Israel on the sidelines

Input: He did not set out to serve his country; he set out to multiply his father’s fortune. “When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same,” Trump has said. “The temperament is not that different.” Decades later, Trump has praised Putin as a forceful leader, a “better leader” than Barack Obama; Putin hardly conceals his hope that Trump will win election to the White House. What would be more advantageous for Putin than to see the United States elect an incompetent leader who just so happens to be content to leave the Russian regime to its own devices, particularly in Europe? Even as non-Democrats have variously described their own nominee as a “con,” a “bully,” and a “borderline” 9/11 conspiracy theorist, Putin has acted as a surrogate from afar, dropping clear hints at his preference, slyly declaring Trump “bright” and “talented without doubt.” The Times has reported that hackers who broke into the Democratic National Committee’s e-mail trove — a cyber version of the Watergate burglary — were likely agents of the Russian Federation.

Input: The next evening, Clinton faced a question about the death penalty at a CNN-TVOne town hall event at Ohio State University. TVOne host Roland Martin introduced Ricky Jackson, who had been wrongly convicted of murder back in the 1970s, when he was a teenager. He asked Clinton about the death penalty. Did Brazile — who left her contributorship at CNN over the summer to take over as interim Democratic National Committee chair — help the Clinton campaign to anticipate a topic in the heat of the primary battle against Bernie Sanders? No, says Brazile, in a statement released today: “As a longtime political activist with deep ties to our party, I supported all of our candidates for president.

Input: When CNN’s Fareed Zakaria recently interviewed the Russian president, asking him about Trump, Putin stressed his view that there were no democratic elections in the U.S., “where prosecuting attorneys are shooting international observers from polling stations.” Earlier this month, Russian Trump fans — including Putinologists, mild and far-right nationalists, anti-globalists and Donbas separatists — gathered in annexed Crimea to discuss post-November U.S.-Russia relations during a 9-day long Kremlin-financed forum. Even the militia leaders of self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk republics showed up. Sitting in the presidium at a table covered in red cloth, Sergei Markov, the organizer of the annual forum since 1999, explained to the auditorium full of political scientists and graduate students, that once America elects “the palace jester” Trump as its president, the Kremlin’s life will be easier everywhere — in Syria, in Ukraine, in Europe and at home. While only 10 percent of Russians support Hillary Clinton’s candidacy, the Trump camp is growing day by day.

Input: And they don't tell us what we actually want to know: How much Trump gave to charity (and if it's more than $ 10,000), how much he has earned in recent years (and if it links to Russia) and what income tax he has paid (if any). We can answer these questions about every other Republican and Democratic candidate for president back to Gerald Ford — and we can say it for him, too, since he released a summary of what he'd earned. The last Republican presidential candidate who didn't release his tax returns to the public was Ford, who never once won election to the executive branch. Ford had been a politician since leaving the Navy after World War II, so his returns lacked the sort of complexity or surprises that one might find in, say, the returns of a guy who has owned a huge, complex, multinational business for three decades. Clinton has now, like all recent candidates, released both prior-year and past returns to the public.

The letter said that among the supplies delivered to IS were ammunition for TOW anti-tank missile systems, RPG-7 grenade launchers and small arms, M-60 recoilless rifles, 82 mm mortar shells, hand grenades, communication tools and equipment from the Turkish intelligence services. The letter also said "smuggling explosives and industrial chemicals to terrorist groups operating in Syria is also usually organized from Turkish territory" through the border crossings." In order to pass through the border controls unimpeded, effectively with the complicity of the Turkish authorities, products are processed for companies that are purportedly registered in Jordan and Iraq," it said.

Input: His campaign for president, frankly, looks a lot like his parenting. Trump hasn't bothered to develop a real policy agenda; his website has a few buzzwordy blurbs on a handful of subjects. He hasn't learned the most basic facts about how the world operates; he suggested abandoning NATO allies and had no idea Russia had invaded Ukraine. Just as his children speak of his parenting in bland generalities, so Trump talks about what he'd do as president in near-meaningless rambles. He has no understanding of the task he's undertaking as president, and if his parenting is any guide, he has no desire to take on responsibilities he doesn't enjoy.

Input: As he frequently does, Trump conflated "radical Islam" with Islam in general, and warned that "Radical Islam is coming to our shores." The Orlando shooter was a U.S. citizen who was born in the United States in 1986, at a time when the United States and guerrillas in Afghanistan were allies in the fight to contain communism. Nevertheless, Trump said that the correct response to attacks like the one in Orlando is to ban Muslims from visiting or immigrating (Trump regularly confuses these two ideas) to the United States. He also attacked presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who Trump said "wants to allow radical Islamic terrorists to pour into our country -- they enslave women, and murder gays. I do n’t want them in our country."

Input: German Klimenko, who was recently appointed to be Vladimir Putin's special advisor on all Internet-related matters, already has some big ideas about how Russia should adjust its dealings with companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google. Seemingly not content to see the smartphone landscape effectively dominated by Apple and Google, Klimenko said in a recent interview that both companies should pay a whole lot more in taxes to the Russian government." When you buy an app from Google Play or the App Store anywhere in Europe, VAT is charged at the place of payment, but not here in our banana republic," Klimenko frustratingly explained in statements originally relayed by Bloomberg. His solution? A revamp of the Russian tax code that would see consumers slapped with an 18% sales tax on all mobile purchases, an idea which, if implemented, would naturally direct consumers toward alternatives.

Input: Our peaceful agenda will not be derailed by propaganda, nor will our tolerance and adherence to international law be altered by fallacies and cynical spin,” the PA Foreign Ministry said. Netanyahu suggested that the Bible aside, UNESCO members should visit the Arch of Titus in Rome. “On it one can see what the Romans brought back to Rome after they destroyed and looted the Second Temple on the Temple Mount 2,000 years ago. There, engraved on the Arch of Titus, is the seven-branched menorah that is the symbol of the Jewish People, and I remind you, is also the symbol of the Jewish state today,” he said. “Soon, UNESCO will say that the Emperor Titus engaged in Zionist propaganda,” Netanyahu said. “To say that Israel has no connection to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall is like saying that China has no connection to the Great Wall of China or that Egypt has no connection to the pyramids. By this absurd decision, UNESCO has lost what little legitimacy it had left,” Netanyahu added. The senior US official said the vote showed that the US, which withdrew its funding from UNESCO in 2011 in response to acceptance of Palestine as a state, must become more involved in the organization. “The recurring highly politicized use of the UNESCO executive board meetings only further underscores the urgent need for the United States to restore its leadership at UNESCO, which has been considerably undercut since the United States ceased funding UNESCO in 2011.”“We will continue to explore with Congress options for resuming payment of our dues, which will allow the United States to play a full role in this organization going forward and advance UNESCO’s work on issues like Holocaust education and countering terrorist narratives. ”The votes broke out in this way. Those who supported the motion included Algeria, Bangladesh, Brazil, Chad, China, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mauritania, Mexico, Morocco, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan and Vietnam. Nations that abstained from the vote were: Albania, Argentina, Cameroon, Cote de’Ivoire, El Salvador, Spain, France, Ghana, Greece, Guinea, Haiti, India, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Nepal, Uganda, Paraguay, South Korea, St. Kits and Nevis, Slovenia, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Togo, Trinidad and Ukraine.

ULA has vigorously defended itself, and continues to tout its service.

Depending on Mrs. Clinton's responses, they will recommend to the prosecutors whether or not charges are appropriate. They questioned the target defendant, while of course video-taping her, to try to trip her up.

Input: Email US fighter jets have been scrambled to stop Bashar al-Assad's air force bombing US special forces and anti-Isis allies on the ground as the Syrian conflict intensifies. Defence officials said the Syrian planes were leaving as the coalition aircraft arrived, meaning they did not engage in combat, but that the US would not hesitate to defend its forces. Captain Jeff Davis said the American jets were sent to the north-eastern city of Hasakah on Thursday after two Syrian air force SU-24s started air strikes near where coalition forces were conducting operations on the ground. “It troubles us when we see regime airstrikes in Hasakah in an area where it's well known by everybody, to include the [Assad] regime, that the coalition is actively engaged in operations against Isis,” the Department of Defence spokesperson said.

However, the intelligence community's inspector general wrote Congress to say that some of the emails "contained classified State Department information when originated." In a joint statement released on July 15, 2015, the inspector general of the State Department and the inspector general of the intelligence community said that through their review of the emails, they found information that was classified when sent, remained so as of their inspection, and "never should have been transmitted via an unclassified personal system." They also stated unequivocally that those secrets never should have been stored outside of secure government computer systems. Mrs. Clinton had stated over a period of months that she kept no classified information on the private server that she set up in her house.

Input: However, Commander John Harbour, a spokesman for the EU naval force in Somalia, told the BBC that the loss of navigation equipment would not necessarily be critical and that the signal from the beacon could vanish if the battery ran out or it entered a satellite blind spot. One Somali news website reported a conversation with an unidentified pirate who claimed the men were indeed dead – but said they had all been shot before they were loaded into the skiff. There is no evidence for this account, and photographs from the Moscow University seem to support Russian reports that marines killed one pirate in a firefight, and took the other ten captive.

Police said they were investigating the incident as a terrorist offense. The attack is believed to have been inspired by ISIS.

Input: And if you look at the top ranks of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement you will find many Jews and former Israelis among them. The Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) movement is another glaring example of Jewish organizations dedicated to debilitating and demonizing Israel. Throughout history, the Jewish people have seen fellow Jews turn against their own people. Titus’ Chief of Staff, Tiberius Julius Alexander, who was Philo’s nephew and whose father donated the gilded gates to the Temple, commanded both the destruction of Jerusalem and the massacre of 50,000 of his native Jewish community in Alexandria. In the 15th century, Tomás de Torquemada, of Jewish descent, was Spain’s first Grand Inquisitor, and the architect behind the expulsion of the Jews from Spain. During World War II there were Jews who fought and spied for Nazi Germany. Stalin’s personal assistant, Alexander Poskrebyshev, was a Jew and assisted him in everything, including his plan to exile all of Russia’s Jews to Siberia. Jews are said to be unique, but this profound self-loathing is not only unique, it is also very dangerous. From the very beginning, we Jews were different.

Input: Just recently, Trump claimed President Obama founded ISIS. And then he repeated that nonsense over and over. This complaint might be taken seriously were it not a response to Clinton’s lie that Trump is the “recruiting sergeant” for ISIS. Trump’s claim that Obama (and Clinton) “founded” ISIS, by allowing a vacuum in Iraq, is an exaggeration of what happened, but Clinton’s claim that Americans are to blame for terror by criticizing Islam actually does the terrorists’ work for them. 12.

Input: Iran has not been reintegrated into the global financial system – and it’s not going to be – though the Chinese will be happy to do business. Khamenei’s supporters are now suggesting that the Supreme Leader – not the shrewd but naïve president – is the great hero of modern Iranian history (after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, of course). The banks, he says, fear the Americans who “have not acted on their promises and [only] removed the sanctions on paper”. Worse still, he’s right. “Khamenei’s life is the one you should be writing about,” one of his believers announced last week.

Input: The unrest erupted just as the Obama administration was quietly mulling outreach to the Iranians on the nuclear issue, and the president was mindful of the way a condemnation would sound in a country that views the U.S. as an arrogant superpower intent on regime change. The administration’s failure to take a more proactive role on behalf of the protesters was a mistake Clinton regrets, as she wrote in her memoirs and repeated in her speech Wednesday. “That wo n’t happen again,” she vowed. Clinton’s message to the Iranians was clear: “The U.S. will never allow you to acquire a nuclear weapon,” she said Wednesday. “I will not hesitate to take military action if Iran attempts to obtain a nuclear weapon.

Input: “Sanctuary cities,” for instance, proclaim amnesty for illegal aliens within their municipal boundaries. But proud as they are of their cities’ disdain for federal immigration law, residents of these liberal jurisdictions would n’t approve of other cities nullifying other federal laws. What would San Franciscans say if Salt Lake City declared the Endangered Species Act null and void within its city limits, or if Carson City unilaterally suspended federal background checks and waiting periods for handgun purchases? Moreover, San Francisco and Los Angeles do believe in clearly delineated borders when it comes to their right to maintain a distinct culture, with distinct rules and customs. Their self-righteousness aside, sanctuary cities neither object to the idea of borders nor to their enforcement — only to the notion that protecting the southern U.S. border is predicated on the very same principles.

Input: She lied about having destroyed government emails, about having exposed classified U.S. government secrets to Russia, China and other hostile nations through an unsecured server in her own basement that, according to U.S. intelligence experts, almost certainly led to the outing of covert CIA operatives. She lied to the parents of murdered Americans in the terror attack at Benghazi, Libya, about the cause of their death, and her role in their death. She lied under oath when testifying to Congress, and she lied about FBI Director James Comey’s public indictment of her lies, which he delivered to the nation. Her lies are nothing new and they are legion. Hillary Clinton is a “congenital liar,” in the words of famed New York Times columnist William Safire, whose 1996 essay, “Blizzard of Lies,” explains that she lies “for good reason: To admit otherwise would be to confess taking, and paying taxes on, what some think amounted to a $ 100,000 bribe” allegedly arranged through some very suspicious-looking cattle-futures trades.

Input: Some of the records include either last four digits of a voter's social security number or drivers ' license numbers. The database is comprised of records for 15 million individuals and is 10 years old. Not all outdated information has been purged, according to Menzel, so some of those records likely include information for deceased voters or those who have subsequently moved. According to Matthew Roberts, director of communications for the Arizona secretary of state, in late May, Arizona officials took the statewide voting registration system offline after the FBI alerted the Arizona Department of Administration that there was a credible cyber threat to the voter registration system. Although The Washington Post reported that Roberts attributed the database breach directly to a Russian hacker, when pressed by CNN, he said that the Arizona secretary of state's office learned of Russian involvement from internal IT and cyber security staff.

Because House rules would allow the convention’s Rules Committee to convene during the convention to change the rules of the game as it is being played. Cruz’s team fears this could be used to elevate an alternative from the establishment wing of the party on the third or fourth ballot. -- Many top Republicans are planning to skip the convention altogether.

In Turkey, the private Dogan news agency reported that more than 30 of those wounded in Russian air strikes in Azaz, primarily children, were transferred to a hospital in southern Turkey. It showed footage of ambulances arriving at the Kilis State hospital and medical personnel unloading children on stretchers and a girl wrapped in a blanket as well as a handful of adults. Meanwhile in Brussels, European Union officials on Monday called on Turkey to halt its military action in Syria after Turkish forces shelled positions held by a U.S.-backed Kurdish militia over the weekend. The EU's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said that "only a few days ago, all of us including Turkey, sitting around the table decided steps to de-escalate and have a cessation of hostilities."

Input: In exchange for using its leverage with Assad to ground his air force and allow aid to flow, the United States said it would work to separate U.S.-backed opposition groups from terrorist forces with which they have become increasingly intertwined. Instead, after just a few days of a fitful truce, both Syria and Russia stepped up their bombing attacks in Aleppo and elsewhere in the country, including the destruction of an aid convoy. Russia, while denying the convoy attack, has justified its airstrikes by saying that the cease-fire — along with U.S. failure to disengage the opposition from the Front for the Conquest of Syria, the al-Qaeda group formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra — allowed the terrorists to rearm and expand their territory. Russia’s version of the sequence of events mandated by the deal is “explicitly not true,” a senior administration official said. “Separation was not step one,” but was supposed to occur after seven days without major violence.

Input: The website which leaked the emails has links to Russian military intelligence hacker group dubbed Fancy Bear, according to the Washington Post, and the FBI is investigating an apparent Russian attempt to undermine political competence in the US. The news comes shortly after Mr Trump was accused of treason for encouraging the Russians to hack Ms Clinton’s emails to search for the 30,000 “missing” documents that were not handed over to the FBI. Mr Powell has been discovered, via more leaked emails, to have tried to distance himself from the email scandal surrounding Ms Clinton, which had dogged her election campaign. “I have a great deal of respect for Colin Powell, and I have a lot of sympathy for anyone whose emails become public,” Ms Clinton told CNN on Thursday, declining to discuss the issue.

When an outside group headed by David Brock, a Clinton ally, signaled plans to demand that Mr. Sanders release his health records, drawing Mrs. Clinton into an unwelcome spat, another Clinton adviser, Neera Tanden, wrote to Mr. Podesta to grouse. “Maybe he actually is a Republican plant,” Ms. Tanden said of Mr. Brock, a self-described former “right-wing hit man.” Dramas within the campaign aside, Mr. Podesta wrestled with public criticism of the Clinton Foundation and a bitter rift that broke out between Chelsea Clinton and Douglas J.

And a group of Turkish lawyers has reportedly filed a complaint accusing the MPs of "insulting Turkishness and the Turkish state". Earlier this month, Turkey recalled its ambassador from Berlin in fury after the German parliament voted overwhelmingly for the Armenian "genocide" resolution. The leader of Germany's Green Party, Cem Ozdemir-who initiated the debate on the Armenian massacres in the Bundestag-told a newspaper he had been sent emails saying things like:" We will find you anywhere." He said well-informed friends in Turkey had told him to take the threats seriously.

Input: “I would have no problem from a policy perspective of having the U.S. Navy boarding their ships, and if there are weapons on them, to turn those ships around.” Morell did note, per Bloomberg’s Eli Lake, that this policy “raised questions of international maritime law.” Which is a bit like saying, “Breaking into someone’s home, putting a gun in their face, and demanding they hand over all their weapons raises questions about armed-robbery law.” Understatement aside, Morell’s stipulation suggests that he might be dissuaded from initiating a naval war with Iran if the legal issues prove too pesky. But the fact that a person who has Clinton’s ear on national security thinks this proposal makes sense from a “policy perspective” is alarming.

It does not even pretend to support a two-state solution, explicitly rejecting the view that Israel is an occupier. The word Palestinian does not appear in the entire document — except for one clause demanding that the United States immediately halt funding to the UN’s climate body because it grants Palestinians membership as a state. It calls for “no daylight between America and Israel” and guarantees Israel a qualitative military edge. It recognizes “Jerusalem as the eternal and indivisible capital of the Jewish state” and calls for the American embassy to be moved there.

I have a strong feeling that this guy is not a friend of America.” She also said that Clinton and Obama had “a lot to gain by having these attacks happen” and cited their pro-gun control stances.

Input: The survey asks about numerous concrete policy issues in Israel – including marriage, divorce, conversion, military conscription, transportation, public prayer and gender segregation – and finds deep divides. For example, the vast majority of Haredim and Datiim say public transportation should be shut down throughout the entire country on the Jewish Sabbath, while the vast majority of Hilonim (94%) oppose shutting down all public transport in observance of the Sabbath. Masortim are more evenly divided between those who favor shutting down public transport across the entire country on the Sabbath (44%) and those who want to keep buses, trains or other public transportation running in at least some areas (52%). The public intermingling of men and women is another point of disagreement. A solid majority of Haredim (62%) favor gender segregation on public transportation, such as buses and trains, used by members of the Haredi community.

Input: Although the odds in President Truman's election in 1948 were 20 to 1 against his election, President Truman romped home the winner over Governor Dewey assisted by the invisible and invincible Zionist political steam-roller that always elects their candidates. President Truman not only used the power and prestige of the United States to compel the United Nations to admit the State of Israel as a peace-loving nation, the regime of an armed uprising in Palestine by transplanted aliens, but he made billions of United States taxpayers dollars available to Talmudists to make the State of Israel powerful. When the day to vote for the admission of the State of Iseral arrived they were short two votes. The plan was about to collapse. In the emergency, Mr Charles H. Silver engaged Cardinal Spellman to make two trips to South America to change their votes in the United Nations against the admission of the State of Israel into the United Nation to vote in favor of the admission of the State of Israel into the United Nations as a member.

Input: The best way to contain the disease now is to vaccinate all those at risk as soon as possible. Every day increases the chance that one of the thousands of Asian workers in Angola will carry the disease home, sparking a full-scale outbreak on a continent that has yet to experience one. Deployment of the vaccine in all African countries where yellow fever is endemic could slash the number of cases. The Yellow Fever Initiative, which is led by the WHO and UNICEF and funded by GAVI, an international public-private alliance that provides vaccines to poor countries, aims to cover the continent by 2020, at a cost of $ 300 m. More than 100 m people have been vaccinated since it started in 2007.

Assange’s supporters dismiss the sexual assault allegations as a ploy to attack his character and give authorities reason to arrest him. So far, Stein is struggling in her quest to build support among disaffected Democrats. She currently sits at roughly 3.3 percent, according to the RealClearPolitics average of major polls.
