Hillary Clinton's "treatment of DS [Department of State] agents on her protective detail was so contemptuous that many of them sought reassignment or employment elsewhere," according to a just-released summary of an FBI interview with a former State Department official. "Prior to Clinton's tenure, being an agent on the Secretary of State's protective detail was seen as an honor and privilege reserved for senior agents. However, by the end of Cinton's tenure, it was staffed largely with new agents because it was difficult to find senior agents willing to work for her."

Clinton's State Department agents are hardly the first to complain about her bullying.

The Clintons have an open marriage and Hillary Clinton had an affair with her late law partner, Vince Foster, according to a former tabloid editor who emerged in the media to assert he once served as a "fixer" for the Clintons.

Jeff Rovin, who first told his story in the National Enquirer anonymously, was granted a far larger microphone Monday night on The Sean Hannity Show on Fox News.

The United States has begun planing an offensive to liberate Raqqa from Daesh, and Russia will not be a member of the operation, US Defense Secretary Carter said.

Russia will not take part in the planed operation by the US-led coalition to retake Raqqa, the Daesh's stronghold in Syria, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told reporters at a joint press conference with his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian on Tuesday. "Russia is not a participant in our Raqqa plan," Carter stated. "We do deconflict our coalition operations with Russia through a very professional military-to-military channel. That channel is active every day, and everyone behaves themselves very professionally on both sides in that channel."

Comment: This new battle for Raqqa will be interesting to watch since Russia is active in the areas the US coalition will need to pass through.

ISIS, Daesh, IS, ISIL executes own terrorists
ISIL terror group executed at least seven of its own militants, after their reported desertion and fleeing the battle fronts near Mosul to Syria.

Eyewitnesses said that the executed militants fled from the battles raging in Iraq's Northern Nineveh Province and the ISIL announced their charge as "high treason", ARA News reported.

"Those fighters had left their posts in Mosul city without permission, heading to the Syrian border," media activist Abdullah al-Malla told ARA News.

The militants were arrested by their comrades in ISIL's proclaimed police also known as Diwan al-Hisba, shortly after they crossed into Syria's Eastern Deir Ezzur province.

The Iraqi Army, backed by Peshmerga forces and the US-led coalition, recently launched a major offensive to push ISIL out of Northern Iraq.

'America has lost' the Philippines

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte with President Xi Jinping
"Your honors, in this venue I announce my separation from the United States... both in military and economics also".

Thus Philippines President Rodrigo "The Punisher" Duterte unleashed a geopolitical earthquake encompassing Eurasia and reverberating all across the Pacific Ocean.

And talk about choosing his venue with aplomb; right in the heart of the Rising Dragon, no less.

Capping his state visit to Beijing, Duterte then coined the mantra - pregnant with overtones - that will keep ringing all across the global South; "America has lost".

And if that was not enough, he announced a new alliance - Philippines, China and Russia - is about to emerge; "there are three of us against the world".

Hungarian PM Viktor Orban rips US-style democracy export as arrogant, destabilizing, failure

Hungary's prime minister has blasted the Obama administration's foreign policy, saying it is based on arrogance and disregards reality. Viktor Orban said exporting democracy US-style produces instability, migration and extremism. Orban, an outspoken critic of EU's handling of the refugee crisis, voiced concern that a potential Hillary Clinton presidency would keep the current Democrat foreign policy that caused the problem in the first place.

"America supports the global migration processes. Instead of working on helping everyone to stay in their own home country, they perceive global population movements as something positive, or at least natural. Therefore, they do not want to stop but manage this migration process. The Democrats and Hillary Clinton are the managers," he told German newspaper Passauer Neue Presse in the wake of his visit to Bavaria.

He added that the policy of toppling undemocratic governments in the Middle East, which was pursued under both Republican President George W. Bush and Democrat Barack Obama, simply does not work. "America believes in the exportation of democracy. This sounds good; however, wherever it has been tried, entire regions often became destabilized, the consequences of which are suffering, death and migration. Additionally, often anti-democratic, extremist forces rose to power as a result of the free elections.

"Believing in the democracy export is arrogant because it fails to take the cultural structures of the given regions into consideration. But whether you like it or not, it is the culture that determines the political culture. Donald Trump openly states this, while Hillary Clinton defends the policy pursued to date," Orban said.


Comment: The US can't export what it, itself, no longer has (if it ever did) and that is 'democracy.'


Comment: Orban's statements nail the grand American fallacy and show why Trump is viewed more highly than Villary abroad.

The polls war intensifies

Want a tough job? Try being a pollster two weeks before Election Day. Donald Trump is ripping pollsters and the media, arguing the surveys are biased against him because many include too many Democrats in their sampling surveys. Conservative news sites have pounced on Trump's arguments, pointing to a trio of national polls that show the race between the Republican presidential nominee and Democrat Hillary Clinton is a toss-up.

Trump and his supporters argue that mainstream pollsters are under-sampling Republicans to account for a rise in independents, while failing to account for an enthusiasm gap that favors Trump or the new voters he could bring into the fold.

A half-dozen pollsters interviewed by The Hill acknowledged the difficulties of polling the 2016 race. They blamed unprecedented volatility, two historically unpopular candidates, fast-changing voter behavior patterns and shifting demographics. All of those factors make it tough to figure out exactly who will show up on Election Day.


Comment: Insiders versus outsiders, diehards versus thinkers, unpopular versus unpopular... OK, we now have an even playing field. It's possible Villary's 13 point lead is just 13 people. Wouldn't that be a hoot. On that note, Tim Kaine held a rally in West Palm Beach, FL, and only 30 people showed up, while Mike Pence's rally in Salisbury, NC, had hundreds as did his rally in Albuquerque, NM.

Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt has become the latest high profile figure to accuse RT of conspiring with WikiLeaks in the hacking and release of the #Podesta emails.

Monday saw the whistleblowing website leak its 17th batch of messages from Hillary Clinton's campaign chair John Podesta and, not for the first time over the last fortnight, RT broke the story prior to WikiLeaks tweeting the announcement.


Bildt's tweet claiming RT reported on the WikiLeaks releases "before they are released" drew some exasperated responses from Twitter users who pointed out the clear inaccuracy of his statement.


The former prime minister's tweet prompted clarification from WikiLeaks itself.

German police forces conducted several raids across five federal states in response to an "imminent terror threat," according to local media. Operatives of elite police anti-terrorism units, the SEK, were scrambled across five German states, including Thuringia, Hamburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony and Bavaria, according to Spiegel magazine, which cites police in Thuringia. Bild magazine cited "an imminent terror threat" as a trigger for the operation.

During the simultaneous raids, 12 apartments and a communal accommodation center were searched, but with no arrests made, according to Sueddeutsche Zeitung. The large-scale operation reportedly targeted "Islamist-linked terror suspects," local broadcaster MDR reported.

A 28-year-old suspect, said to be a "Russian national of Chechen descent" with links to Islamic State (IS, previously ISIS/ISIL) is wanted by police, Spiegel reported. According to Bild, the suspect may be plotting "a serious act of violence." The other suspects include 10 men and three women, convicted of terrorism financing, Bild reported. All the suspects have alleged Islamist backgrounds. All the suspects are reported to be asylum seekers with unknown residence status. They had been under police surveillance since summer 2015. Police forces deployed sniffer dogs to detect potential explosives.

At least one suspect is reported to have been placed under arrest in the central Thuringia city of Suhl, where "white powder" of unknown origin was found. Later, Thuringia criminal police said there is no threat of a terror attack, adding that preliminary outcomes of the operation would be released "in a matter of days."

Turkey may launch ground op in Iraq if feels threatened by coalition forces

Ankara warned that it may send ground troops to attack Kurdish forces in Iraq, if it feels threatened. Turkish forces and Kurdish militias are supposed to be allies of Iraq and the US-led coalition in an offensive against Islamic State-held Mosul.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu accused Baghdad of "tying itself to a terrorist organization," referring to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a Kurdish militant group responsible for a decades-long insurgency in the southeast of Turkey. Ankara says Iraqi Kurds are giving shelter to PKK forces and has been using aircraft to bomb the group's training camps in the neighboring country, as well as in Syria.

Speaking to the Kanal 24 TV station on Tuesday, Cavusoglu said Turkey would not hesitate to use ground troops against Kurds in Iraq.

"If there is a threat to Turkey from Iraq, we will use all our resources and rights, including a ground operation," he said. "We aren't saying this to Iraqis alone, but to the United States and all coalition nations, to the northern Iraqi government."


Comment: Turkey has invaded Syria and has forces in Iraq. They must be upset not being able to participate in the battle for Mosul.
