With two days to go before the New York presidential primary, Hillary Clinton is campaigning in and around New York City.
Former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin used her personal email account to transmit classified documents and coordinate favors for Clinton donors, according to emails obtained by Judicial Watch Wednesday.

Judicial Watch obtained the documents as part of a lawsuit filed after the State Department failed to respond to a March 2015 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The newly-obtained documents include 91 Clinton email exchanges that were not turned over to the State Department, contradicting Clinton's claim that, "as far as she knew," she had turned over all of her government emails.

The emails reveal multiple instances in which Abedin used her personal account to send and receive classified documents as well as arrange personal favors for Clinton donors and political allies on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's behalf.

"Pay to play, classified information mishandling, influence peddling, cover ups-these new emails show why the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's conduct must be resumed," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.

Comment: Huma is Killary's mini-me. She's never going to take responsibility for her part in running the Clinton's criminal machine. Judge Napolitano on the emails:
What is new is that there are new emails that were obtained by a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch which the State Department in the Obama administration and the Trump administration declined to turn over... We are the only ones that are talking about this.


...Is this enough to cause Jeff Sessions to present the evidence against her for the misuse of state secrets to a grand jury? Absolutely! Do they need a special prosecutor? No they don't!... Actually he (AG Sessions) doesn't have to investigate. He has a truckload of materials that the FBI accumulated under Jim Comey which paints a picture of a mountain-load of her guilt.

Imagine what would happen if China decided to impose economic sanctions on USA?

In June, Washington threatened Beijing with a sanctions regime, in response to China's increased bilateral commodity trade with North Korea. Initially, the US sanctions were not intended to be against the Chinese government: selected Chinese banks and trading companies involved in the financing of China-DPRK commodity trade would be potential targets of US reprisals.
Having lost patience with China, the Trump administration is studying new steps to starve North Korea of cash for its nuclear program, including an option that would infuriate Beijing: sanctions on Chinese companies that help keep the North's economy afloat.
According to Chinese sources, China's trade with the DPRK increased by 37.4 percent in the first quarter of 2017, in relation to the same period in 2016. China's exports increased by 54.5 percent, with imports from the DPRK experiencing an 18.4 percent increase.

The insinuation was crystal clear: curtail your trade with North Korea, or else...

Coupled with the aggressive legislative sanctions "package" recently adopted by the US Congress directed against Russia, Iran and North Korea, Washington now threatens China in no uncertain terms.

Donald Trump didn't mince his words during a call with Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull earlier this year, telling the him that their conversation was "ridiculous" while comparing it to the "pleasant" talk he had with Vladimir Putin, according to a leaked transcript.

Details of the transcript, obtained by the Washington Post, include information on the call between the two leaders on January 28.

While speaking to Turnbull about a deal for the US to take in refugees from Australia - which was agreed by the Obama administration - Trump had no problem expressing his true feelings on the matter.

"I have had it," Trump told Turnbull. "I have been making these calls all day, and this is the most unpleasant call all day."

The latest emails obtained from the private account of Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin contain four documents with classification marks and further proof of improper ties with the Clinton Foundation, says the group that received them.

On Wednesday, Judicial Watch released 1,600-plus pages of emails that the State Department had to turn over under the group's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. The documents include 91 email exchanges that were not previously turned over to the State Department, for a total of 530 emails that were not included in Clinton's initial 55,000-page disclosure.

"Pay to play, classified information mishandling, influence peddling, cover-ups - these new emails show why the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's conduct must be resumed," said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.

Killary's secret stash: Judicial Watch releases new batch of Huma Abedin emails not turned over to State Dept.

New emails from former Hillary Clinton adviser Huma Abedin, released by Judicial Watch, show more examples of Abedin using a non-secure account and server to transmit classified information.

According to a statement released by Judicial Watch, the new release shows there were a total of 530 emails that were not a part of the batch Hillary Clinton turned over to the State Department that she claimed represented all her emails from the Clinton.com account maintained by an unsecure, private server.

A number of the emails released today by Judicial Watch show emails that were or have been marked classified that were forwarded to Abedin's account.

The watchdog group also said several emails in the newly released batch show Clinton using her official position as secretary of state to trade favors and to provide influence to donors to the Clinton campaign and donors to the Clinton Foundation.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia accused of laundering millions for drug cartels

Commonwealth Bank of Australia stands accused by the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) of a stupefying 53,700 violations of money laundering and counter-terrorism-financing laws, in which the financial institution failed to notify in a timely fashion - and, sometimes, not at all - transactions topping a mountainous A$77 million.

As the case unfolds, it should be noted, each breach of the act carries a jaw-dropping potential penalty of A$18 million - meaning Commonwealth Bank could be slapped with an astonishing level of fines.

Alleging 'serious and systemic non-compliance' with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act), the regulator commenced civil penalties proceedings against CommBank on Thursday, after the tentative conclusion of an investigation - the heft of which focused on the bank's use of intelligent deposit machines (IDMs) - revealed rampant breaches of the act, according to acting CEO Peter Clark.

5 ways the new US sanctions could benefit Russia

putin
The latest round of US sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea are supposed to be a militant punitive measure designed to hurt three very different economies, though economies that in various ways have all learned to become increasingly self-sufficient over the years. Far from turning the economies of the aforementioned countries into 1990s Iraq, something very different is happening.

The real consequences of the sanctions are largely unintended from an official American point of view, even though in reality, the sanctions were all about Congress trying to limit the authority and slam the credibility of Donald Trump. This helps explain why few people in America have considered the following, although some voices outside of the Washington elite have voiced important concerns.

U.S.: "Grave" consequences if al-Qaeda dominates Idlib, Syria - green light for Russian attack?


The Daily Star, Lebanon

idlib
The United States warned a takeover of rebel-held northwestern Idlib province by Syrian militants linked to a former al-Qaeda affiliate would have grave consequences and make it difficult to dissuade Russia from renewing bombing that recently stopped.

In an online letter posted late on Wednesday, the top State Department official in charge of Syria policy, Michael Ratney, said the recent offensive by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, spearheaded by former al-Qaeda offshoot Nusra Front (which now calls itself Jabhat Fatah al-Sham) had cemented its grip on the province and put "the future of northern Syria in big danger."

"The north of Syria witnessed one of its biggest tragedies," said Ratney who was behind secret talks in Amman with Moscow over the ceasefire in southwest Syria announced by U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in July. It was the first such U.S.-Russian effort under the Trump administration to end Syria's civil war.

Top ten countries in terms of natural resources - can you spot the pattern?

Natural resources, or commodities, are the raw inputs that are used to manufacture and produce all of the products in the world. Commodities themselves, which include those extracted from the earth and those that have yet to be extracted, are worth trillions of dollars. Here are the top 10 countries with the most natural resources, the resources they have and their total estimated value.

10: Venezuela

This South American country has an estimated $14.3 trillion worth of natural resources. The country's main resources are iron, natural gas and oil. This country ranks eighth in the world for natural gas reserves, accounting for 2.7% of the global supply, and ranks sixth in oil reserves, accounting for 7.4% of the global supply. Venezuela is about the same size as Texas.

9: Iraq

Number nine on the list is Iraq, which holds an estimated $15.9 trillion worth of natural resources. The country has 9% of the total world's oil deposits, accounting for most of its resources. Iraq is also among the top countries for reserves of phosphate rock. This country is about the same size as California.

Comment: Let's see. We have the U.S. and its allies, Canada, Australia, and Saudi Arabia. The conquered Iraq. Brazil, recently brought more into line after the constitutional coup that saw the despised Temer assume power. And a short-list of the U.S.'s biggest enemies: Russia, Iran, China, and Venezuela. Hmmm, what a coincidence! Assimilate or be destroyed, we suppose.

Also consider that Afghanistan and North Korea are also sitting on trillions' worth of natural resources:
