Why didn't the Mueller Report include an investigation of Seth Rich?

The idea that the DNC email disclosures were produced by a hack - not a leak -makes less and less sense.

After bungling every last aspect of Russia-gate since the day the pseudo-scandal broke, the corporate press is now seizing on the Mueller report to shut down debate on one of the key questions still outstanding from the 2016 presidential election: the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich.

No one knows who killed Rich in Washington, D.C., on July 10, 2016. All we know is that he was found at 4:19 a.m. in the Bloomingdale neighborhood "with apparent gunshot wound(s) to the back" according to the police report. Conscious and still breathing, he was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead at 5:57.

Police detain a participant of a rally in support of Russian investigative journalist Ivan Golunov

Russian President Vladimir Putin has fired two police generals over a drug-trafficking case launched against investigative journalist Ivan Golunov, who was released on June 11 amid a public outcry and claims that the case against him was fabricated.

The Kremlin press service said on June 13 that Putin dismissed Major General Yury Devyatkin, the head of the Moscow police department's drug-control directorate, and Major General Andrei Puchkov, the police chief in Moscow's West administrative region.

Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev had said on June 11 that he would ask Putin to fire the two senior police officials over the Golunov case.

Kolokoltsev also said all charges against Golunov, a 36-year-old journalist who works for the Latvia-based online journal Meduza, were dropped because "the alleged crime has not been proven."

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, continued to defend Democratic socialism and argued that Americans would be "delighted to pay more in taxes" if his policies are carried out.

On Wednesday, Sanders attempted to sway voters into the ideology of Democratic socialism and argued in favor for what he called an "Economic Bill of Rights," where every American would have a right for items like free health care and education. He also insisted that President Trump is a "corporate socialist" for providing billions in subsidies and tax breaks for corporations.

During an appearance on CNN, the Democratic candidate was asked how he will respond to Trump's attacks on the campaign trail, specifically when the president invokes Venzuela as an example of failed socialism.

Russia bringing back the gold standard may kill US dollar & solve main problem of cryptocurrencies

The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) is studying a proposal to create a gold-backed cryptocurrency, which could be used for cross-border settlements with other countries.

The bold proposal was made by Russia's State Duma member Vladimir Gutenev. He has suggested initiating discussion to set up national cryptocurrency, denominated in gold.

Commenting on Gutenev's proposal, the head of CBR Elvira Nabiullina said: "As for mutual settlements, we will consider, of course, a proposal on a cryptocurrency that is tied to gold. But, in my opinion, it is more important to develop settlements in national currencies."

Social media platform Twitter has reportedly temporarily suspended the account of investigative journalism group Project Veritas following its publication of internal documents from Silicon Valley company Pinterest.

According to journalist James O'Keefe, Twitter has limited the account of the investigative journalism group Project Veritas following the group's publication of internal communications from Pinterest. O'Keefe wrote in a tweet that Project Veritas "has been temporarily suspended from posting for tweeting internal communications from @Pinterest which show them calling @benshapiro a 'white supremacist'." The tweet can be seen below along with a photo of a warning

A person familiar with the situation told Breitbart News that the Project Veritas account was locked for violating the Twitter Rules, specifically the private information policy, but clarified that Project Veritas was not locked out due to the content of their communications.

Trump considering sanctions against Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to 'protect Germany from Russia'

US president Donald Trump says he is considering slapping sanctions on Russia's Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline project, insisting that the US has a much "better" alternative for Europe.

"[It's] something that I've been looking at and I'm thinking about," the US president said, answering a reporter's question about using sanctions to block the project.

He added that he was the one who'd brought up "the pipeline problem," referring to his earlier attacks against Russia's energy supplies to Europe, and Germany in particular, as it is the entry point of the new export gas pipeline.

"You know this gas is going into Germany. I say, 'How can you do that?' So, we're protecting Germany from Russia," he went on.

Comment: While those in the political class may be willing to sell out their countries and pay more for gas to appease the US but European businesses, and more particularly the citizens of Europe, who are already struggling to heat their homes in winter, will not be best pleased to see their bills increase even further just so that the US economy can scrape by for a little longer:

US must develop "new way of war" or risk defeat to Russia & China - think tank

RT
Thu, 13 Jun 2019 00:41 UTC

The Pentagon's military posture based on post-Cold War dominance will not work against new Russian and Chinese strategies and must be urgently updated, or the US risks losing a war against either power, a new report warns.

America needs a "new way of war," according to a report authored by Chris Dougherty of the Center for New American Security (CNAS) and published on Wednesday.

"For the first time in decades, it is possible to imagine the United States fighting-and possibly losing-a large-scale war with a great power," Dougherty warns.

While the US remains stuck in the "implicit and explicit mental framework" for military strategy and operations that emerged during the 1991 Gulf War, he adds, China and Russia have been devising new strategies and weapons to defeat the US in war should that become necessary.

Comment: Sadly it's unlikely ever to occur to many of those who've reached positions of influence in the US that the way out of this mess is not by coming up with a new way of war but instead is through cooperation:

Mexico to deploy National Guard forces to southern border to stem flow of Central American migrants

Federal police officers talk with an African migrant as she waits to be admited outside of Siglo XXI migration facility in Tapachula, Mexico, June 12, 2019.

Deployment of National Guard forces to Mexico's southern border will advance quickly under a migration control deal signed last week with the United States, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said on Wednesday, although there were no visible signs on the ground late in the day.

Under the deal signed on Friday, Mexico agreed to take steps to control the flow of people from Central America, including deploying 6,000 members of the country's National Guard across its border with Guatemala.

"Starting from today, and in the coming days, the deployment is going to progress rapidly," Ebrard said during President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's regular morning news conference.

However, a Reuters photographer in Southern Mexico said there was no sign of National Guard forces being deployed late on Wednesday - only regular checkpoints by the army, marines and the Federal Police.

The deal agreed on Friday averted escalating import tariffs of 5% on Mexican goods, which President Donald Trump had vowed to impose unless Mexico did more to curb illegal migration into the United States. Mexico also agreed to a 45-day timeline to show that increased enforcement efforts were effective.

Trump orders simpler path for genetically engineered food

President Donald Trump holds up a signed executive order to streamline the approval process for GMO crops, after speaking at Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Tuesday, June 11, 2019.

President Trump wants to make it easier for genetically engineered plants and animals to enter the food supply, and he signed an executive order Tuesday directing federal agencies to simplify the "regulatory maze" for producers.

The move comes as companies are turning to newer genetic engineering techniques that make it easier to tinker with the traits of plants and animals.

Greg Jaffe, biotechnology director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said the impact of the executive order will depend on the details of how it's carried out by federal agencies. Simply deregulating could make people lose confidence in genetically engineered foods, he said.

Comment: That's just what we need - less regulation to allow more genetically modified genetic garbage onto our dinner plates. Thanks Trump!

US airstrike accidentally wipes out Afghan troops who called in for back up - Again

In a bizarre case of friendly fire, a contingent of U.S. and Afghan troops came under fire from another group of Afghan security forces before calling in air support in self-defense, a U.S. military spokesman told Task & Purpose on Wednesday.

The joint U.S.-Afghan force "came under effective fire" during a joint patrol in the country's Kunduz province, forcing them to request precision air support "to suppress the onslaught of machine gun fire," said Army Col. David Butler, a spokesman for U.S. Forces-Afghanistan.

As it turned out, the machine gun fire "was coming from another group of Afghan security forces," Butler said, killing an unspecified number of Afghan security forces personnel.

No U.S. troops were killed or wounded in the incident, Butler said, adding that the Pentagon plans on convening a joint investigation board to determine the details of the incident.

Comment: Considering all the support the US has given to the terrorists, it's not surprising they're unsure whose side they're on:
