Input: The Inquisitr has run an October 15th headline “The Russians Are Coming, Says Ex-Navy Leader: World War 3 Will Start with Alaska Invasion.” Let me briefly digress here. Granted, newspapers typically run stories with sensational headlines because they want to sell lots of newspapers and true journalistic integrity in this age of rampant deception is all but ancient history. And of course, an army of government shills and trolls have thoroughly infiltrated if not saturated both mainstream as well as alternative internet and social media with the expressed purpose of muddying the waters to intentionally misinform, deceive and confuse the public, making them highly susceptible to nefarious manipulation by fear porn propaganda. Under the chronic duress of hypervigilance and paranoia, both the sheeple and the so-called “awakened” can become more easily controlled, and certainly the trusting diehards will automatically be predisposed to seek protection and security in the face of real or perceived rising dangers from their Big Brother government, the very same perpetrator responsible for their mass brainwashing, mind control and pervasive harm. That said when bits and pieces of information are leaked and astute observers who are aware of historical patterns of deceptive US government behavior repeated ad nauseam by our enslavers, a clear picture of connected dots emerges of what may actually be unfolding.

Input: A neo-Nazi group, including former Latvian Nazi Waffen SS veterans, has demolished a monument to fallen Soviet troops in a Latvian town with the support of a nationalist party which forms part of the ruling coalition in Latvia’s parliament. The monument to fallen Soviet sailors in the northern Latvian town of Limbazi, located about 100 kilometers from Riga, was demolished by activists from neo-Nazi group Daugavas Vanagi (the Daugava Hawks), which calls itself an organization of the former Nazi Waffen SS Legion veterans. The demolition was also supported by the National Alliance, which is a part of the ruling coalition in the Latvian parliament.

Input: He has done the bare minimum — send a few hundred special operations forces to Syria, order some additional airstrikes — he thinks he can get away with. He looks like he’s “doing something” while really not doing much at all, particularly given the obscenely restrictive rules of engagement. After the November Paris attack, I wrote, “ISIS certainly intends to strike the U.S. homeland, so unless it is annihilated, it’s just a matter of time before it will be able to carry out a domestic attack of the kind it recently executed in Paris, Beirut and aboard a Russian jetliner.” Sadly, this was prescient. We must fight this war the way we fought the Nazis in World War II and Soviet communists during the cold war: comprehensively and strategically, using every available military, economic, ideological, diplomatic, cyber and religious lever.

Input: “He was being very serious,” Pence said. “And he was making a point that needs to be made, that there is no question that the failed policies of President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the wider Middle East, created a vacuum within Iraq in which ISIS was able to arise.” Pence confirmed that Trump is scheduled to make a speech Monday in battleground state Ohio on the issue and vowed that Trump would “lay out his vision and his strategy for defeating radical Islamic terrorism.” “Get ready,” said Pence, adding that Trump will announce “real specifics” about how, if elected, he would change U.S. policy and provide the kind of “broad-shouldered leadership” that would make the country safer. McCaskill argued that Trump’s comments about who founded ISIS are “disrespectful” to the U.S. military, then attacked Trump, saying he and “his best buddy” Russian President Vladimir Putin “are the founder of ISIS, which probably would be more accurate.”

Input: “As interest rates rise, the government’s cost of financing its debt will climb – especially if that debt continues to mount, as it does in CBO’s projections.” Fed ends ‘quantitative easing’ policy In October 2014, the Fed under Janet Yellen’s direction ended the policy of quantitative easing under which it had purchased $ 85 billion in Treasury bonds every month in 2013. The policy culminated in what turned out to be 37 consecutive months during which the Fed bought Treasury debt in an effort to stimulate the economy by keeping interest rates at or near zero. Under the QE bond-buying spree, the Fed balance sheet ballooned to a record $ 4.48 trillion accumulated since announcing the first round of QE purchases in November 2008 just as outgoing President George W. Bush tried to deal with a systemic collapse of financial markets.

Levitan made his fortune manufacturing slot machines and creating bank note validation technology, and Shnaider earned his in the post-glasnost steel trade,” it reported. Finally, for all of his denials of Russian ties lately, Trump has boasted in the past of his many meetings with Russian oligarchs. During one trip to Moscow, Trump bragged that they all showed up to meet him to discuss projects around the globe.

We now know breakout time would be reduced to zero in as little as 10 years and there are not true anytime / anywhere inspections. Since that deal was implemented and $ 1.7 billion was released to Iran, it has obtained a Russian anti-missile defense system, attempted to acquire impermissible materials, according to German intelligence, conducted multiple illegal missile tests, cracked down even harder on human rights, sent troops to Syria and continues to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism. Was this the deal you would have negotiated? Was either the deal or the implementation flawed?

Input: Clinton fully supports this global system and America’s oversight of it; she flew around the world several times as secretary of state to defend the just exercise of American power. According to Mark Landler’s new book, Alter Egos: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the Twilight Struggle over American Power, this is n’t just political expediency; she genuinely has the instincts of an interventionist hawk. She will no doubt continue to defend the system heart and soul, as will her husband, Bill Clinton, who was known in his time as the "globalization president.” (“ There is no longer a clear division between what is foreign and what is domestic," he said at his first inaugural in 1993, and reiterated the point in his final foreign policy address in 2000; both sentiments now appear to be outdated in this time of Trump.)

A second source, who has close links with the Saudi intelligence service, said that the missile which brought down the Emirati jet this month was acquired by AQAP in raids on military bases that have occurred over the past year. “Al Qaeda has confiscated huge amounts of weapons from bases in Yemen,” he said. He cited two such bases, one at al-Aryan along the southern coast east of Aden and another at Ataq, the capital of the southern governorate of Shabwah. Using alliances with local tribes, al-Qaeda now controls the oil rich governorate of Hadhramaut together with the coastal city of Mukalla.

This week Brazil moved one step closer to removing Dilma Rousseff from office after the Senate voted to indict the suspended president over charges of violating fiscal laws. The move means the Senate will go ahead with Rousseff's trial, which is expected to begin at the end of August. Rousseff calls the ongoing impeachment proceedings a "coup". Critics of Rousseff's impeachment argue that many of those voting on whether to remove the suspended president, including those strongly pushing for the impeachment, need also to be examined as they face serious corruption violations.

Input: His “America First” campaign theme has far deeper roots in the history of this country than most pundits are acknowledging. Indeed, Trump should n’t be dismissed as a mere apostate in his view of America’s role in the world; against the backdrop of all 239 years of America’s existence, he represents more a reversion to the American norm. Trump, in condemning one of the worst instances of American overreach in U.S. history, the Iraq invasion, declared in his speech: “The world must know we do not go abroad in search of enemies.” The line was an allusion to the famous injunction of John Quincy Adams in 1821 that America "does not go in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.” Adams went on to warn, somewhat presciently, America should know that “once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself, beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom.

Input: A State Department official, who was not authorized to speak on the record, said no specific goal has been set for the number of Syrian refugees who will be admitted. Syrian refugees are expected to be admitted at a “robust level,” the official said, though not as many as in recent months. The primary goal, however, is to provide aid and protection to refugees in the countries and areas where they have fled, “so refugees can return home when the conflict ends,” the official added. Since the conflict began five years ago, the United States has donated $ 5.6 billion in humanitarian aid to the region, both in direct aid to refugees and to the countries where they have sought safe haven, as well as inside the borders of Syria. The administration has launched a new effort to reach a political solution to the Syrian conflict by brokering a still-fragile cease-fire with Russia that took effect Monday.

Consider how Trump might react to the following fact pattern if the candidate involved were n’t “Donald Trump” but — let’s pick a name at random here — “Hillary Clinton”: The candidate’s real estate empire, unable to borrow from most U.S. banks, gets capital from Russian sources. Such transfers could n’t occur without Putin’s blessing.

One Wall Street donor, who asked to remain anonymous because he considered the donation to Hillary “embarrassing,” said he gave money to her Senate race after a bundler friend asked him for a contribution. He noted he asked the bundler friend to donate to a Republican in return.

She said Trump would let non-nuclear countries go nuclear." There's no quote,” he said.

Input: But somehow Google gets a free pass. Whether it is being just a company or “more than just a company,” Google’s geopolitical aspirations are firmly enmeshed within the foreign-policy agenda of the world’s largest superpower. As Google’s search and internet service monopoly grows, and as it enlarges its industrial surveillance cone to cover the majority of the world’s population, rapidly dominating the mobile phone market and racing to extend internet access in the global south, Google is steadily becoming the internet for many people. Its influence on the choices and behavior of the totality of individual human beings translates to real power to influence the course of history. If the future of the internet is to be Google, that should be of serious concern to people all over the world — in Latin America, East and Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa, the former Soviet Union, and even in Europe — for whom the internet embodies the promise of an alternative to US cultural, economic, and strategic hegemony.

It’s no wonder that despite waving Islamist red flags everywhere from his place of employment to the FBI, Mateen roamed freely until he committed mass murder. Mr. Obama initially dismissed ISIS as “junior varsity.” He later declared the organization “contained” — just a day before it launched its massacre in Paris. One thing we know about the most committed jihadis — the networks of whom are in every corner of the globe — is that they can not be contained. Even after the Boston, Paris and San Bernardino attacks, Mr. Obama would not change his strategic approach, around which ISIS has easily navigated.

The embargo, restricting imports of most food from the European Union, the United States, Canada, Australia and Norway, was instituted in 2014 in response to economic sanctions placed on Russia for its military and political involvement in Ukraine. In 2015 Russian president Vladimir Putin extended the embargo through Aug. 5, 2016 and added four more countries to the list: Albania, Montenegro, Iceland and Liechtenstein. The government is preparing documents for another extension, and will deliver them to Putin, the state-owned Tass news agency said Tuesday.

Input: A neo-Nazi group, including former Latvian Nazi Waffen SS veterans, has demolished a monument to fallen Soviet troops in a Latvian town with the support of a nationalist party which forms part of the ruling coalition in Latvia’s parliament. The monument to fallen Soviet sailors in the northern Latvian town of Limbazi, located about 100 kilometers from Riga, was demolished by activists from neo-Nazi group Daugavas Vanagi (the Daugava Hawks), which calls itself an organization of the former Nazi Waffen SS Legion veterans. The demolition was also supported by the National Alliance, which is a part of the ruling coalition in the Latvian parliament.

Input: The man who the Republicans will nominate to be president of the United States publicly admires authoritarians like Russia's Vladimir Putin. He encourages mob violence against protesters and then offers to pay their legal fees. He and his allies have threatened critics in the media by vowing to cancel FCC licenses and changing libel law to make it easier to sue them if Trump becomes president. Trump's message is that he's running not for the job of president as we understand it but for a new position of strongman who will disregard legal niceties to get his way. That's what makes him appealing to those who think he stands for them -- and scary for those who know he doesn't.

The Valio dairy company said it would close its Tampere, Finland, operations." The milk market remains extremely difficult; Russia continues its trade sanctions against the EU. Due to global milk overproduction and weak global demand, prices for milk products are at a very low level. The removal of EU milk quotas has worsened the situation," a Valio statement said.

It referred the matter to the Justice Department, which closed the case against Mrs Clinton and her aides with no charges. The State Department has since resumed its investigation into whether Mrs Clinton or her aides violated government policy in their handling of classified information.

Input: MOSCOW, June 1 (UPI) -- Russia is extending its ban on imports of food from the EU and other countries through the end of 2017, with exceptions for meat and vegetables for baby food. The embargo, restricting imports of most food from the European Union, the United States, Canada, Australia and Norway, was instituted in 2014 in response to economic sanctions placed on Russia for its military and political involvement in Ukraine. In 2015 Russian president Vladimir Putin extended the embargo through Aug. 5, 2016 and added four more countries to the list: Albania, Montenegro, Iceland and Liechtenstein. The government is preparing documents for another extension, and will deliver them to Putin, the state-owned Tass news agency said Tuesday. An exception was announced Wednesday for meat and vegetables used to make baby food, Tass reported.

Input: Because metadata may contain the Internet Protocol addresses of the computers sending and receiving the e-mails, it could explain how the FBI determined the communications were relevant to the Clinton investigation before agents had even read them. However, that still leaves the question of whether all or some of the e-mails are copies of those already in the agency’s possession after its long-running probe. Comey on July 5 said he would n’t recommend charges against Clinton for her use of a private e-mail server while secretary of state. Both the Journal and the Washington Post reported that FBI agents have been aware of the new batch of e-mails for weeks. Comey said he was only briefed on the matter on Thursday, and the delay may raise questions about why agents did n’t go to their boss sooner.

One perk of the overseas trips was the Air Force transport that travels with Air Force One and Potus and is used to transport the limousines and agents’ Suburbans. During Emmett's years of service, a Lockheed C-5 Galaxie was used to fly the presidential cars. It had been designed to carry entire military units and all their equipment during the Vietnam War and Desert Storm.

Input: Scientists fear asteroids, killer robots and deadly diseases could wipe out humanity This is the disarmingly named bomb which was devised during the Manhattan Project and then dropped on Hiroshima. It exploded with the force of 15 kilotons of TNT, wiping out much of the Japanese city. The bomb worked by firing a "slug" of highly-refined uranium into a larger lump of the same element, causing a nuclear blast. When it exploded in the sky over Hiroshima, it destroyed more or less everything within a radius of a mile of the point of detonation.

Input: He awarded them $ 325,415 in damages. But in case after case, Mr. Trump has displayed a special talent for turning what should be cold hard facts into semantic mush. Perhaps the most famous example of this skill came when Mr. Trump was asked under oath a seemingly straightforward question: Had he ever lied about his net worth? Mr. Trump responded, “My net worth fluctuates and it goes up and down with markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feelings.” So, he explained in a deposition, when he said membership costs $ 300,000 to his Westchester golf club, that included the $ 200,000 initiation fee plus every cent he guessed that a member might spend on annual dues over the next 20 or 30 years.

Input: Indeed, by expanding NATO, Clinton and his team not only went against the advice offered by scores of distinguished Russian experts, savvy politicians and foreign policy thinkers, Clinton also sought to tie the former Soviet Republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus to the United States. All this took place while Clinton studiously ignored the grotesque abuses of power by Russian President Boris Yeltsin. “Good ol’ Boris,” as Clinton liked to call him, bombed the democratically elected Russian parliament in 1993, stole the 1996 election with the help of American political advisers and pseudo-academics, and launched a barbaric war in Chechnya, while simultaneously raiding the state treasury and enriching the circle of thieves around him. It was Yeltsin who subverted Russia’s burgeoning democracy, not his successor, Vladimir Putin. And he did it all with Clinton’s help.

Input: Moscow believes severing routes between Syria and Turkey cuts off supplies it accuses Ankara of providing to terrorist groups, which are not confined to ISIS and the Nusra Front according to the Russian definition. Moscow believes helping the regime restore control of Aleppo would boost its morale and allow it to continue fighting the Russian war against Islamic groups it classes as terrorist groups. Aleppo is therefore key to the strategy pursued by Russia, which will not stop bombing it for the sake of the Vienna process created by Russia or for fear of European or American reactions. The contrast is clear between the European reaction and the US reaction. Europe fears Russian policies and their implications, including further refugee influx to its shores.

Input: Silicon Valley investors responded on Twitter by poking fun at Trump's campaign slogan "Make America Great Again!" by repeating the phrase," Make Bubbles Great Again." On the U.S. Federal Reserve, Trump said that while he eventually wants a Republican to head it, he is "not an enemy" of current chair Janet Yellen, who was appointed by Obama." I'm not a person that thinks Janet Yellen is doing a bad job. I happen to be a low-interest rate person unless inflation rears its ugly head, which can happen at some point," he said, adding that inflation "doesn't seem like it's happening any time soon."

Input: UBS, a Swiss bank, functions as an incredibly influential financial institution. An Atlantic piece from 2015 noted that as secretary of state, Clinton pushed the IRS off a deep investigation into UBS, after which UBS then paid former President Bill Clinton $ 1.5 million in the form of speaking engagements. Due to the Clinton-instigated settlement, UBS only had to disclose information on 4,450 accounts to the IRS held by Americans, which ameliorated at least some of the tension UBS faced — namely violating Swiss secrecy laws or staring down U.S. criminal charges. The IRS initially wanted information on 52,000 accounts. Kevin MacDonald, who earned a Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut in biobehavioral sciences in 1981, is well-known in alt-right circles as a leading intellectual for his innovative work on group evolutionary theory and advocacy of Western culture.

Input: History of airport attacks Preliminary findings suggest all three attackers at Ataturk airport opened fire and then detonated explosives strapped to their bodies, similar to the mass shootings and suicide bombings at Paris ' Bataclan concert hall in November. ISIS claimed responsibility for that massacre, which left 89 people dead. Similar attacks took place elsewhere in Paris the same night, killing an additional 41 people. The tactic -- to enter shooting, and then detonate explosives -- is called "inghimasi," and it's being used more and more frequently by terrorists.

Input: In 2012, President Obama won the Bay area by a margin of about 50 percent, and the New York Times found that about $ 8 out of every $ 10 donated by employees of the most admired tech companies went to Obama over Romney that cycle. So why does Silicon Valley support matter for a Republican? Aside from individual donations to a candidate, there are big money donors in the area to help fund outside groups. For example, Oracle founder Larry Ellison donated $ 4 million this cycle to outside groups supporting Marco Rubio before he dropped out of the GOP race. Billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel donated $ 2 million to a group supporting Carly Fiorina.

Input: While USOC employees’ paychecks have grown over the years, the bonuses the USOC pays to Olympic medalists through a program called “Operation Gold” have remained stagnant since 2002: $ 25,000 for gold, $ 15,000 for silver, and $ 10,000 for bronze. In an interview, USOC chief of sport performance Alan Ashley, who makes about $ 460,000, said he believes bonuses for medalists is “paying for past performance,” and not likely to result in Team USA winning more medals. The over-riding mission of the USOC is winning the most medals possible; when Blackmun discussed how his organization decides which sports and athletes deserve money, he used the phrase “podium potential.” Unlikely resistance To athletes good enough to be the best in the United States at sports dominated by other countries, though, the focus on podium potential can make them feel undesired in a community they’ve effectively taken a vow of poverty to join.

That ended our relationship. “Paul pretty much disappeared from the entertainment business after that as far as I know, aside from helping his daughter with funding for her film and [getting] involved in Ukrainian politics, as you know,” VanBuskirk added.

Bill O'Keefe, Catholic Relief Service's vice president for advocacy, said in an interview that while his group and others welcomed the administration's new resettlement pledge, neither that nor the upcoming U.N. summit was sufficient to address the needs of "the 65 million globally displaced people around the world right now."

Input: Free trade Hillary and the global crisis Despite what she says, Clinton is fundamentally for the hated “free trade” deals on the table right now — the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The CNAS paper urges Congress to pass the TPP as soon as possible, presumably before the election, to strengthen the U.S. “stewardship” of Asia. In other words, free trade agreements which are not freedom for workers — in reality they serve only to make world trade more subordinate to dictates of Wall Street — will be helpful, primarily, in expanding U.S. power. The greater poverty, misery and evisceration of rights that the TPP would bring about for workers in Asia and the U.S. be damned.

Input: Mr Erdogan has accused western capitals of failing to condemn last month’s failed coup, while criticising him for purging thousands of people who allegedly shared the coup-plotters’ views and for threatening to restore the death penalty in Turkey. He has also lambasted the United States for refusing to immediately hand over Fethullah Gulen, the Pennsylvania-based Muslim cleric whom Ankara accuses of being behind the coup attempt. The growing rift with the West, as well as fears over Syria and economic concerns, spurred Mr Erdogan to seek to restore relations with Moscow that were wrecked last November when Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet over the Syrian border. The sudden rapprochement between Turkey and Russia unnerved some officials in the EU and Nato, who fear the two autocratic and powerful leaders could cause trouble for the West on issues including Syria and refugees. As Turkish diplomats and military and intelligence officials held talks in Moscow yesterday, foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said his compatriots had lost confidence in the EU because it had “failed a test” over the coup.

Input: “If the United States were to reduce our defense commitment to Japan or South Korea and give either one of those countries, basically, a green light to pursue nuclear weapons, in my view it would vastly undermine the security situation in the region, increase the threat posed by nuclear weapons and, ultimately, to the United States,” said Kingston Reif, the director for disarmament and threat reduction policy at the Arms Control Association. Reif told The Hill he is not politically involved this election cycle. If Japan were to acquire nuclear weapons, South Korea might not be far behind. And then both China and North Korea might feel compelled to increase their nuclear arsenals. “Every president since Eisenhower has pursued a policy of trying to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, and that’s Republican and Democrat,” said Gary Samore, Obama’s former White House coordinator for arms control and weapons of mass destruction and an adviser for Clinton’s campaign.

John McCain’s ‘Why Courage Matters.’ Khan said he has long respected the Arizona Republican, and that one of his last conversations with his son had been about the book and McCain’s sacrifice … McCain had been ‘my and my family’s hero,’ whom Khan said they admired as someone who ‘gave so much in care of others.’ ... It’s that admiration that led Khan to call on McCain and other GOP leaders to withdraw their support of Trump: ‘I implore Sen. McCain … this will be a historic moment in the Republican Party,’ Khan said during an interview with Cronkite News. ‘If you publicly rebuked him, you will look back and you will stand tall in front of the nation and you will say you were not for this, we were for [a] better America,’ he said.

I want the administration to bring forth the Qatar sales, and I've met with the White House toward that end," Corker told Al-Monitor." I support it and hope that they're going to be forthcoming." In play are 72 F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft whose sale has been held up for the past two years, in part due to objections from Israel that the sale could erode its so-called Qualitative Military Edge (QME) in the region.

Input: He answered by asking, “Is the moral person always the better president?” and repeated Clinton’s claim that she is the best prepared candidate. Let’s unpack his argument, which is common. First, the decision to minimize her chronic dishonesty baffles me because if you elect a president you do n’t trust, you forfeit any right to complain when you are deceived. And you will be deceived by Clinton. Fish got ta swim, and Clintons got ta lie.

Input: You need institutional infrastructure in order to run a government. And it’s not just about gathering the resources needed to take the White House. You also need strong, broad parties to organize a political majority and to legislate. As I see it, there are three possible outcomes regarding how representatives organize themselves: The dominant-party system: In this system, most representatives join a single party that has essentially unchecked legislative power.

Input: After all, in the face of an inherently violent culture that could last centuries, why should a system meant to protect us all relax in any way? Mass incarceration and aggressive policing are needed, from this view, to put away people fundamentally corrupted by their culture. (It’s not just conservatives, either; this is the kind of logic that led Hillary Clinton to speak out against violent teenage "superpredators" in the 1990s, when her husband, as president, enacted "tough-on-crime" laws.) There’s no reason to think the violent cultural traits that Latzer describes are even "black" Applying a broad label also seems far more counterproductive, misleading, and even insulting than it is useful.

Falsely accused Clinton of laughing at a 12-year -old rape victim: “Her client she represented got him off and she's seen laughing at the girl who was raped.” (Clinton laughed at various points of a 1980s interview about the case – but never at the victim. For example, she said that her client had passed a polygraph lie test, and she added, with a laugh, “which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs.”) 7.

Input: Patches of grassland on the Siberian tundra have turned into what looks like a waterbed, bobbing up and down when trodden on by scientists. Footage of the phenomenon, which is not believed to have ever been recorded before, was taken by a team of scientists on a research expedition to the remote Bely Island. Alexander Sokolov and Dorothee Ehrich said they found 15 patches of ground that appeared to bubble or tremble and when they punctured them, methane and carbon dioxide was released, the Siberian Times reports. While further research will be necessarily, the team believes an unusually hot summer has caused permafrost to thaw, releasing methane gas locked up in the ground. The Siberian tundra made headlines over recent years as a result of a massive crater that opened up in 2013.

Input: (Alain Bachellier / Flickr) A group of prominent intellectuals and activists is defying France’s crackdown on the Palestine solidarity movement by publicly calling for the boycott of Israeli goods. This comes just as the French prime minister has announced that his government plans to intensify its restrictions on free speech targeting the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. “This boycott movement is enjoying growing success around the world as the only nonviolent means to put pressure on Israel,” the public figures’ statement in the independent online publication Médiapart says. “It permits everyone who wishes to peacefully demonstrate their solidarity and to protest the favorable treatment [Israel] receives from a large part of the international community despite its constant violations of international law,” it adds.

Input: The historic nuclear accord with Iran, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, was negotiated for months and finally signed by Iran and the U.S., UK, Russia, China, France (the P5) and Germany (+1) on 14 July, 2015. Under the arrangement Iran has pledged to eliminate its stockpile of medium-enriched uranium, decrease its stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98% and reduce approximately two-thirds the total number of gas centrifuges for 13 years. In exchange for Iran’s adherence to these terms, the UN Security Council members have agreed to reduce sanctions on the Islamic Republic. For example, the U.S. is obligated to end all “secondary” sanctions, meaning those imposed on other countries to prohibit their business with Iran. The European Union will lift its own sanctions, effectively unfreezing some $ 100 billion in assets -- this number is an estimate from the U.S. Treasury Department -- currently tied up in overseas bank accounts.

Input: And there’s not a lot of transparency or accountability about how that money gets spent, used, and what makes it down to the athletes,” Nelson said. Despite enjoying the same legal entitlement to secrecy, the IOC does publish occasional financial reports that include some details, such as expected annual revenue ($ 1.375 billion) and payroll ($ 62 million). Last year, as part of a move toward more transparency, the IOC published details about the perks packages it provides President Thomas Bach and the 115 elected IOC members, all of whom are considered “volunteers.” For Bach, a former lawyer and Olympic fencer from Germany, the IOC provides an annual “allowance” of about 225,000 Euros ($ 251,000) and pays for his suite at the Lausanne Palace & Spa, “an exceptional place of refinement” that offers “a superb view across Lake Geneva to the Alps,” according to its website. It’s unclear which type of suite Bach stays in, or whether the IOC gets a discount, but the Palace recently priced its cheapest suite at $ 1,068 per night, or just shy of $ 390,000 for an entire year.

Input: Colin Powell, secretary of state under President George W Bush, told ABC he used a personal email account while in office, including to correspond with foreign leaders. The State Department inspector general report found that many of Mrs Clinton's predecessors-including Mr Powell-were also not in compliance with federal recordkeeping requirements, although the rules governing their actions were less detailed when they were in office. The New York Times reported that Mr Powell had once advised Mrs Clinton at a dinner party to use private email, although not while handling classified information. But he later denied he had ever done such a thing. Outside of Washington, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush-a 2016 candidate for the US presidency-relied on a private email address (jeb@jeb.org).

Input: Separately, rebel leaders told reporters that they would not accept emergency medical evacuations if food and medicine were not also delivered to people trapped inside. United Nations officials have said that forcing people to leave their homes in order to receive aid is against international law. But in practice, the government has taken back a number of areas with starve-or-surrender tactics, bombarding and starving people until they agree to leave. In any case, without guarantees and a halt to shelling and shooting by all sides, aid agencies can not begin to provide the medical evacuations and humanitarian aid deliveries to eastern Aleppo that United Nations officials said they would aim to carry out after Russia agreed to extend its cease-fire.

Input: [What the movie ' Weiner ' tells us about Huma Abedin] The irony here is that Weiner had finally appeared to be cleaning up his soiled public reputation. A world existed where the arc of Weiner's career looked like this: sext while a member of Congress, resign, apologize, run for mayor, weather revelations that he didn't stop sexting when he got caught the first time, lose the primary for mayor, star in an unflinching documentary about that painfully embarrassing moment AND possibly have an opening for a third chance at public office." We’re all flawed," said Kristen Hawn, the Democratic half of the bipartisan Washington communications firm Granite Integrated Strategies, when we talked in May as the documentary was released." And I’m not saying everybody will forgive him, but I do think there’s something in all of us that appreciates a politician who is willing to take responsibility for his or her actions, being forthcoming with the voters and asking for forgiveness."

Input: Manafort is also listed as a co-producer of the star-filled 2005 independent film “The Dying Gaul,” a meditation on loss and homosexual domesticity that its liberal director / writer, Craig Lucas, dedicated to “Angels in America” writer Tony Kushner. A conservative movie-review website described the film as a “misanthropic humanist worldview about a homosexual and adulterous affair in Hollywood that leads to murder and death.” Estimated to have cost $ 4 million to produce, the film earned just over $ 342,000 at box offices. George VanBuskirk, the film’s lead producer, confirmed that Manafort had helped bankroll the film. “Manafort’s daughter wanted to build a career in film, that was his primary interest in the entertainment business,” VanBuskirk told Fusion.

Input: ADVERTISEMENT "Mr. Murphy’s positions on climate change — an issue that Mr. Rubio seems deeply ignorant about — gay rights, gun control and comprehensive immigration reform make him by far a superior representative for Floridians," the editorial reads." Mr. Murphy has also challenged Mr. Rubio’s obstinate support for the failed embargo on Cuba, which puts him on the right side of history and, increasingly, public opinion in Florida," it stated. The newspaper noted that the Florida Senate race is one of the most crucial contests of the election season that is surprisingly close due to the changing attitudes of Cuban-Americans voters." The changing Latino electorate is the key factor, with Cuban-Americans, who once swung reliably Republican, increasingly up for grabs, particularly younger voters who are more socially liberal than their parents and less dogmatic about the Cuban embargo," the editors argued.

Input: America the vulnerable ISIS-inspired terrorists are now exploiting our country's unique and astonishingly easy access to military-derived weapons, where a semiautomatic AR-15 can be purchased in under 10 minutes. In the past year, we've seen two mass shootings — in San Bernardino and Orlando — by self-radicalized terrorists who secured weapons for their mass slaughter with trivial effort. These terrorists are exploiting a vulnerability identified in jihadi training materials going back over a decade. A terrorist manual discovered in Afghanistan in the early 2000s titled "How can I train myself for Jihad" encourages would-be terrorists to obtain military-grade weapons in America: In "some states of USA," it reads," it is perfectly legal for members of the public to own certain types of firearms.

Input: The interwar fascist movements (think Hitler and Mussolini) led to dictatorships that murdered millions of people. Historical analogies, always dangerous, wither and collapse in the face of such enormity. And the thing about a word like fascism — not unlike genocide or rape or cancer — is that, once it is spoken, it can not be allowed to proceed. Fascism is n’t just a word: it’s an alarm, a blaring klaxon that can not be ignored. Historian Robert Paxton, an expert on fascism, recently told Slate, “I’m very, very reluctant to use the word fascism loosely, because it’s almost the most powerful epithet you can use.

Input: For them the American dream is dying. Some 72 percent of the electorate feels the economy is still in recession, according to the American Values Survey released in November, even though economic analysts date the Great Recession as having ended mid-2009. When a family grows concerned about its future income or job prospects, it can not stop paying rent or other necessities, but it typically defers spending on durable goods such as cars, appliances, luxury items and vacations. These categories amount to about 10 percent of total household spending but they explain virtually all of its variations over time. U.S. citizens believe that this is an exceptional country, and it is – but we have to do better for them.

Reading the verdict, the judge in the southern Russian town of Donetsk, not far from the Ukrainian border, quoted prosecutors as saying Ms Savchenko had been driven by "political hatred".

The U.S.’s security commitments abroad have come at the expense of its domestic activities, he has claimed while questioning global security agreements and organizations. Last month, Trump caused a stir by refusing to unconditionally pledge to come to the aide of NATO allies in Europe were they to be invaded by Russia. Comments like that will force other countries to question the U.S.’s commitment to their security, said Douglas Feith, a high-ranking Pentagon official under President George W. Bush, potentially encouraging them to explore amassing nuclear weapons. “Even though they do n’t directly relate to nuclear weapons, they have an effect on nuclear weapons,” said Feith, who does not support Trump’s White House bid.
