Communications director for the Clinton campaign, Jennifer Palmieri, says that if WikiLeaks should publish this bombshell email in the next 48 hours, the public should ignore it. “Friends, please remember that if you see a whopper of a Wikileaks in next two days – it’s probably a fake,” tweeted Jennifer Palmieri.

Mutiny At The FBI: Comey Clears Clinton Despite Mounting Evidence
FBI Director James Comey has cleared Clinton of all wrong doing over her illegal activities involving classified emails, despite the fact that agents say they have enough evidence to indict her. Comey’s announcement on Sunday that the FBI would not seek to prosecute Hillary Clinton will be a bitter blow to multiple officials at the agency who say they had adequate evidence, including “secret recordings of a suspect talking about the Clinton Foundation,” that could have led to a Hillary Clinton prosecution.

Paulo Coelho, “Change and Renewal”
*“Change and Renewal”* by Paulo Coelho “When winter arrives, the trees must sigh in sadness as they see their leaves falling. They say: ‘We will never be like we were before.’ Of course. Or still, what is the meaning of renewing oneself? The next leaves will have their own nature, they pertain to a new summer that approaches and which will never be like the one that passed. Living means changing– and the seasons repeat these lessons to us every year. Changing means going through a period of depression: we still don’t know the new and we have to forget everything we used to know. Bu... more »

"Cognitive Dissonance And the Human Mind" by Dan Eden "When “Robbie” the robot was told to shoot a weapon at a man in the movie Forbidden Planet, his electronic brain sparked and short-circuited.

"Party Unity" Is Just A Term To Make Progressives Support Establishment Crooks-- Rhode Island Edition
Back in September we introduced an unlikely primary winner, when progressive grassroots Democrat Marcia Ranglin-Vassell beat the entrenched Rhode Island House Majority Leader John DeSimone, an anti-Choice conservative with a miserable environmental record, a failing grade from the ACLU and an NRA-friendly record on guns. He's been in the legislature since 1992. Since the district is solidy blue, we figured the primary told the whole story and that the race was over. We were wrong.

These are my words, not his. Business NZ agrees with him. And so do I. Unfo... more »

Jo Coburn incites Polly Toynbee into smearing Nigel Farage
JoCo holds court Talking about today's *The Sunday Politics*, I've read on other sites criticism of Polly Toynbee for accusing Nigel Farage of 'inciting' violence on the streets during his *Marr *interview. What they missed was that the accusation first came from Jo Coburn. Polly was merely answering (and running with) a point first suggested by the BBC presenter: Right, Nigel Farage says, "Believe you me, if the people in this country think that they’re going to be cheated, they’re going to be betrayed, then we will see political anger the likes of which none of us in our lifetime... more »
Contrasts
Jo Coburn One thing that's often said about Andrew Neil is that, regardless of his own views, he's a fair interviewer, tough on politicians of *all* persuasions.

She interviewed a pro-Hillary Conservative MP, Simon Burns, and a pro-Trump former UKIP leadership contender, Raheem Kassam. I bet you can guess how *that* turned out... The contrast in tone and treatment was dramatic. Mr Burns got a gentle, friendly interview. He wa... more »
Ralph Cicerone: 1943-2016
Ralph John Cicerone died in Short Hills, NJ unexpectedly yesterday. The cause of death remains unknown. RIP, Dr Cicerone. He was an atmospheric scientist and, as Google Scholar indicates, a successful one. You may see that his well-known papers are about trace gases, methane, halogens, ozone, florides, bromides, and other compounds in the atmosphere. This diversity differs from the one-dimensional approach of the climate alarmists who want everyone to be obsessed with the greenhouse gases in general and CO2 in particular. With these diverse interests, it should be expected that the ... more »

Is Russia's S-500 The Ultimate Weapon Against U.S. Missiles And Aircraft?
*Sebastien Roblin, National Interest*: *Russia's S-500: The Ultimate Weapon against American Missiles or Paper Tiger?* Moscow has long been preoccupied with the threat posed by NATO airpower, and has fielded a variety of potent long-range surface-to-air missile systems over the years to counter it, including at the high end the S-300 (SA-10 and SA-12) and S-400 (SA-21). But the primary role of its latest design, the Almaz-Antey S-500 “Triumfator,” isn’t taking potshots at frontline fighter planes.

In this episode of The Empire Files, Abby Martin explores John Podesta’s political rise, his vast network of corporate connections and his think tank "Center for American Progress."

But all beautiful things, inherently, have this function - to excite the viewers toward sublime thought. Glory to the world, that good teacher.

"The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment" by Eckhart Tolle "A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by. "Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his old baseball cap. "I have nothing to give you," said the stranger. Then he asked: "What's that you are sitting on?" "Nothing," replied the beggar. "Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember." "Ever looked inside?" asked the stranger. "No," said the beggar. "What's the point? There's nothing in there." "Have a l... more »
"The Truth Will Not Set You Free"
*"The Truth Will Not Set You Free"* by William Berry “We do not see the world as it is. We see the world as we are.” This quote has been attributed to both the Talmud and Anaïs Nin (although an actual citation for neither quote can be found). This quote summarizes the idea that truth, the truth that one perceives, is subjective and can be wrong. We have long been taught that the truth will set us free, and that seeking the truth is a worthy goal. What if there is no absolute truth? What if there are just degrees of truth (or lies) that we tell ourselves? What if, as some insightful... more »

Do what you want to do, and with the people you love. Learn to appreciate time and make doing so a habit. And if you want to do nothing, then enjoy doing it well. Why do anything by half? Why live a life diluted? What's the use?" - Carew Papritz
The Next Generation of Comics Readers
"It's not a comic, it's a graphic novel." - Jasmine (my 11-year old daughter) Today Jasmine and I went on a comic hunting expedition. While my daughters have accompanied me on comic books in the past, this was rather neat in that she was the one who wanted to go on it. Over the past several months she's begun reading comic books. I have to confess to being rather proud. My late uncle told me used to be a comic reader in the late 1950s, being a big fan of the Flash. It's nice to see a third generation enter the hobby. Jasmine is quite the fan of Harley Quinn and has begun branchin... more »
TWO POLITICAL CLOWNS RING DOWN THE CURTAIN
*The political circus of 2016 is winding down and the clowns are doing their best to make it all seem relevant as they engage in mock battle trading insults and innuendoes while many of the spectators, including myself, sense the Republic is in its final death throes. Our great 240 year experiment in Democracy is coming to a close as the plutocracy asserts itself through Citizens United and only the corporate media and clowns perform as the circus tent comes down: Allen L Roland, PhD * *Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage**: H.L... more »

The Ludicrous US Presidential "Race": Further Proof The Fix Is In - Newsweek Already Has Their Next Week's Issue Ready With "President Killary" On The Cover
Lets face the facts here... America is so screwed.... Yes, I have been under constant fire over the last week by my stating logically that the American people have NO choice left now but to vote for Donald Drumpf and cross their fingers and hope for the best... This is due to the logical and very truthful need to make sure that the mass murdering psychopathic mentally unbalanced JEWESS known as Hillary "Killary" Rodham Clinton does not attain the US Presidency and turn the American republic into hell on earth.... With NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE ANYWHERE left for the American people, t... more »
Bombshell: FBI Investigate Clinton’s Ties To Muslim Brotherhood
FBI insiders say that the new Hillary Clinton investigation will be looking at her close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization. Following the FBI’s discovery of 650,000 new emails on former Congressman Anthony Weiner’s laptop, the agency have said that they are now looking into Huma Abedin’s ties to terrorist regime and what role Hillary plays in all of this. Abedin, Hillary’s chief of staff, is a US citizen who was raised in Saudi Arabia. Her father is the director of an academic publication that regularly promotes the comments from the Muslim Brotherhood. Her mo... more »
Google Predicts Trump Winning Election
Donald Trump is set to win the presidential race according to computer scientist who released Tuesday’s election results via an advanced computer simulation. The prediction matches another made by a separate artificial intelligence system, MogIA, that predicted the Republican nominee would win using similar data. This same company has accurately predicted the last three Presidents. According to a scientist posting on 4chan, a heuristic modelling program based on the Facebook, Twitter, and Google algorithms, shows The Donald winning 40 points over Clinton.

The Senate Races: What’s Really Happening-- A Guest Post From Alan Grayson
Here is your own personal briefing on what’s really going on in the Democrats’ attempt to win back the U.S. Senate. Regarding the individual races, a lot of this is information that you won’t find elsewhere. The Democrats hold 46 of the 100 seats in the Senate. They need to pick up 4 Republican seats if Clinton wins the White House (because VP Kaine will then cast the deciding vote when the Senate ties 50-50), and they need to pick up 5 Republican seats if the Apocalypse arrives. (I’m looking at you, Trump.) Team Blue expects to win GOP Senate seats in Illinois and Wisconsin. That... more »
ABC News Caught Staging Fake Crime Scene
ABC News has been caught staging a fake “crime scene” for reporter Linsey Davis to report from in a segment broadcast on Good Morning America. Viewers were presented with the sight of Davis standing in front of yellow police tape with the words “SHERIFF’S LINE DO NOT CROSS” and ABC News, reporting from the site for hours, claimed Davis was in the middle of an active crime scene. But she wasn’t. The ABC News report had more in common with a Hollywood production than a breaking news report. Linsey Davis was actually standing in a field in Woodruffe, South Carolina – not at the crime... more »
Bernie Supporter Physically Removed from Hillary Rally
A scheduled speaker at a Hillary Clinton rally went off-script and began listing reasons why the audience shouldn’t vote for her – until he was physically removed from the stage! Speaking in front of a typically small, lackluster Hillary rally, the brave college sophomore told the crowd of Democrats that they shouldn’t trust their nominee for president. “The only people that can trust Hillary are Goldman Sachs, Citigroup can trust Hillary, and the military-industrial complex can trust Hillary, her good friend Henry Kissinger can trust Hillary.” I guess Democrat stooges can’t handl... more »

Russia Loses A Helicopter Gunship To ISIS Near Palmyra
ISIS released video footage of an attack on the Russian air force in Syria. The video shows the crew of a Russian helicopter gunship escaping moments before it was hit by a missile. Russia Insider reports: What you can see on the video is two helicopters on the ground along with two armored cars. The helicopters are a Mi-35 gunship whose engines are off and a Mi-8 transport whose rotor blades are moving from the beginning of the video. Almost simulatenously the Mi-8 transport lifts off and the idle Mi-35 explodes, probably hit by a guided anti-tank missile. The two Russian armored ... more »
Germania
Everyone everywhere has tribal ancestors. Folks with European roots know little about their kin who lived in the countless centuries of wild freedom. Tacitus gives us a glimpse at their world, as it was over 1,900 years ago. He was a Roman historian, born in A.D. 56, and died in 117. He wrote *Germania*in 98. It provided a brief overview of several dozen Germanic tribes of the era, as viewed from a civilized perspective. For example, the Batavi, Chatti, Usipii, Tencteri, Chauci, Fosi, Cimbri, Anglii, and Varini. (MAP) In the days of Tacitus, Germania was a vast wild front... more »
How Likely is a General Election?
If you were feeling nostalgic for this summer's Brexit chaos, the last couple of days should have provided you a fix. The High Court judgement that - rightly - stipulated the requirement for Article 50 to come to the Commons before its trigger threw the government into a panic. It also reminded us of the utter stupidity of senior Conservative politicians . Not having read the judgement, let alone understood it, morons like David Davies and IDS have paraded into the studios to decry this "assault" on the referendum result. This greenlit the unhinged editorial suites of the rightwing... more »

Russia’s Dead Submarine Sits At Bottom Of Ocean Armed With Nukes
Russia has a dead nuclear-powered attack submarine sitting at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean with two nuclear warheads on board. The submarine Komsomolets is currently resting one mile deep on the floor of the Barents Sea. The fast and deep-diving K-278 Komsomolets was introduced to the Soviet Navy in 1984. The submarine sank in 1989 after fire broke out in the aft engineering compartment on the boat’s first operational patrol leading to the loss of 42 crewmembers. During subsequent Russian rescue efforts to secure the nuclear reactor evidence was uncovered of “unauthorized visits ... more »
Introspective post
Sue and I began this blog in a genuine spirit of open-mindedness towards the BBC. We wanted to start again, fresh, from scratch, and to try and be as fair as possible to the BBC. The BBC would be given the benefit of the doubt whenever there were doubts about bias. (You can read all our early posts if you don't believe us.) And that spirit persisted for some time. (You can read all our slightly later posts if you still don't believe us.) It also began to fray over time, and this year has frayed to the point of snapping (at least for me). Why? Because the BBC has regressed, and i... more »

Trump Hires All The Best People. When Will Jersey Pig-Man Be Indicted?
Yesterday was a bad day for the Trumpist governor of New Jersey. He and his bozo buddies can screech "Lock Her Up" all they want but the chances of America getting to see the rotund Christie in an orange jump suit behind bars is now a lot closer. And this isn't even about the complaint filed against him yesterday with the Department of Justice by the Democratic Coalition Against Trump. They're asking the government to prosecutor Christie for violating the Voting RIghts Act. Recall that this past August Christie vetoed a bill that would have automated the voter registration system ... more »

WikiLeaks: Podesta Camp Openly Support Imprisoned Pedophile
New emails from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta released by WikiLeaks on Saturday show that Podesta openly declared support for a convicted and imprisoned pedophile. In an email to Mr. Masahiko Horie, Ambassador for Global Environmental Affairs of Japan, Tony Podesta boasted that he was still good friends with former House speaker Dennis Hastert, who was imprisoned for raping underage boys. Dennis Hastert was sentenced this year to 15 months in prison for bank fraud in an effort to cover up his sexual abuse of young boys of a wrestling team he coached 30 years ago. In the hea... more »

Election Analysts: Bernie Sanders Will Win Via Twelfth Amendment
Election analysts claim that Bernie Sanders may end up winning the presidential election next week, if enough people write him on their ballots. As the Clinton camp looks set to implode amid a child sex scandal directly involving the Clinton’s and others connected to her campaign, Senator Sanders has quietly distanced himself from her campaign and suggested that voters write him in when they cast their votes on Tuesday.

Standing at the house door, revelling in Autumn
A beautiful photo of Crummock Water, newly taken by Paul Bullen This is proving a particularly beautiful English Autumn. I've been avidly watching the leaves wiltering, and dropping, and forming a splendour of trash on the ground. The pull of hibernation is blowing briskly through the strained mesh of Autumn's trees and I'm busy reading a ridiculously expensive but reassuringly huge 'complete works' of the late Geoffrey Hill which I bought last winter and from which I stolen all the poetic stuff earlier (from a single poem in his collection *Expostulations on the Volcano*).

Nov.5: Ask not for whom the bell tolls...
The problem is not Trump. And it's not Clinton. The problem is much worse because it's a permanent one. The problem is the final crash of American society and morality. And the crash has allowed Trump and Clinton to float to the top. Even in a healthy society, people like them might float into prominence. But two of them? Rising to the top of the only significant parties? No. This is a complete collapse of all values. And a major cause of that collapse is news media which have stirred panic, racial and national hatreds to justify endless killing and, most recently, have made a farce... more »
Is Hillary Clinton a Satanist? A Final Pre-Election Message for Catholics and Christians...
*choose wisely.* Many people are reporting on the possibility of Hillary Clinton being a Satanist. None of what we're reading is of any consequence since a person who supports a platform based on *unrestricted access to abortion, embryonic stem cell research, **euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide,* and human cloning has already sold their soul to the Prince of Darkness. *The Five Non-Negotiable Issues* The Catholic Church has *five non-negotiable issues*. I also contend that any person who calls themselves a Christian should also stand by these issues as non-negotiable. ... more »
Have I Got Nigel Farage Jokes For You
This week's *Have I Got News For You*, hosted by Victoria Coren (above, as if you didn't already know), pursued most of the usual BBC satiric targets - pro-Brexit politicians, Tories, Nigel Farage, Trump, Putin, Michael Gove, David Cameron (briefly), the Royal Family and Nigel Farage again. Oh, and Simon Cowell. Still, it wasn't all right-wingers for once. There was one Corbyn joke (about him being a cyclist who doesn't take performance-enhancing drugs) and an entire (though not very long) section on Keith Vaz that saw the Tory patsy, Tim Loughton, actually get a proper laugh fro... more »
Polish TV Airs Clinton Cash Documentary
Poland’s largest TV network TVP1 has aired the Clinton Cash documentary, which shows the rags to riches story of the Clintons and the financial “ambiguities” surrounding their foundation and campaign. Hillary Clinton’s tenure as US Secretary of State served her well financially later on in life. Breibart reports: The Polish state broadcaster, and equivalent of the BBC, TVP1 aired the Clinton Cash documentary just before midnight on the 3rd of November as part of its documentary series “The Document Before Midnight,” reports WPROST.
