Donna Brazile, the chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) from July 2016 to February 2017, has alleged massive corruption within the supposedly impartial DNC during the 2016 election as the party was under the financial control of then-candidate Hillary Clinton.

In an excerpt of her upcoming book published as an article on Politico titled, "Inside Hillary Clinton's Secret Takeover of the DNC," Brazile offers yet more evidence that the pervasive sense that the DNC had rigged the Democratic primary contest against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in favor of Clinton was, in fact, correct.

Russia has dismissed an attempt by the Pentagon to clear the air following a bout of speculation from senior Russian lawmakers that the West is harvesting the genes of Russians to develop a biological weapon more deadly than the atom bomb.

The allegations were dismissed by a Russia observer in the West as "propaganda" reminiscent of a "cut-and-paste job from an episode of X-Files." But they have sparked a call for a clampdown on foreign laboratories collecting DNA - and prompted one such laboratory company to threaten a lawsuit.

The claims came after President Vladimir Putin on October 30 said that Russian citizens' "biomaterial" was being gathered "systematically and professionally" by foreigners. He asked, without offering a theory, "Why are they doing this?"

Three Republican U.S. lawmakers called on Friday for Robert Mueller to resign as special counsel investigating Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, the latest in a series of conservatives' criticisms of the FBI and Justice Department during the probe of how Moscow may have influenced the campaign.

Representatives Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs and Louis Gohmert accused Mueller of a conflict of interest because he was director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation when former President Barack Obama's administration approved an agreement allowing a Russian company to buy a Canadian company that owned 20 percent of U.S. uranium supplies.

Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri has delivered a rage filled resignation address from the Saudi capital of Riyadh. Hariri, who is a duel Lebanese-Saudi citizen, leads the Lebanese party Future Movement which forms part of the March 14 Allience in the Lebanese parliament. The future movement attracts few Shi'a and Christian voters and has been openly critical of Hezbollah's assistance to Syria in its war against al-Qaeda, FSA and ISIS.

During his resignation speech, he blasted Iran and Hezbollah in a manner that is highly reminiscent of Israeli propaganda. In a phrase echoing remarks made by Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, Hariri said that "Iran's hand in the region would be cut off", although Hariri, like Netanyahu, failed to explain how Iran has a 'hand in the region' in a way that violates any norms of international law. Hariri then stated that he feared for his life, should he remain in office, while providing no evidence of credible threats to his safety.

The timing of the surprise resignation is in many ways, more significant than the content of the resignation speech.

Hillary Clinton appears confident that nothing will come of the FBI investigation into her private email server.

After all, it was her husband who gave the sitting Attorney General Loretta Lynch an important presidential appointment in the late '90s that launched Lynch's career as United States Attorney in New York. Knowing this, will Lynch indict the former president's spouse now, who is poised to be the Democrat party's nominee for president of the United States?

Secretary Clinton's longtime confidant Sidney Blumenthal says no way. He recently stated on television that he already knows the outcome of the investigation. He's probably right, when you consider that President Obama and White House staff have said on multiple occasions that Secretary Clinton did nothing wrong.

Setting aside everything wrong with the bizarre picture I just painted - such as the President himself prejudging an ongoing investigation and then Congress not having the guts to call him out on it - is there any chance Hillary Clinton will face criminal charges for her self-inflicted email fiasco? The odds of the Democrat National Department of Justice charging their all-but-certain presidential pick five months before the general election are extremely small.

In my opinion, the only way Loretta Lynch seeks a prosecution of Secretary Clinton is if the evidence presented by the FBI is so overwhelming that it renders her unviable as a candidate. Remember, Clinton is already no more than a 50-50 bet versus Republican nominee Donald Trump in November as it is.

Yesterday it was announced that Donna Brazile, Hillary Clinton's long time friend is releasing a book that is very damning of Hillary. Far Left VOX reports -

Donna Brazile, a longtime Clinton ally who stepped in as DNC chair last year in the wake of Debbie Wasserman Schultz's resignation, published an excerpt of her upcoming book in Politico in which she disclosed the details of a fundraising agreement between the DNC and the Clinton campaign reached in August 2015.

"The agreement - signed by Amy Dacey, the former CEO of the DNC, and [Clinton campaign manager] Robby Mook with a copy to [Clinton campaign counsel] Marc Elias- specified that in exchange for raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party's finances, strategy, and all the money raised," Brazile wrote in the story under the headline "Inside Hillary Clinton's Secret Takeover of the DNC."

Brazile added of the deal: "[Clinton's] campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings."

While the United States is concentrated on wars, China wants economic prosperity, according to business consultant Gerald Celente. He predicts the Chinese economy will become the largest in less than 10 years.

"Politicians lie, but numbers don't. Take a look at the decline of America and the advancement of China. The trend is undeniable. America's middle-income households had shrunk from 61 percent in 1971 to 50 percent today, while China's grew from five percent in 2000, just before they joined the World Trade Organization, to nearly 35 percent today," Celente told RT.

Beijing has pledged to invest in its economic future, which can be proved by President Xi Jinping's speech at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October, the analyst notes.

"China's investing in its future. From high tech to NEVs (new electric vehicles), to speeding up the development of the internet plus advanced manufacturing and innovation enterprises. To foreign acquisitions of ports, industries and airports to the One Belt One Road Initiative, China's on the fast track to become the master of economic globalization," Celente wrote.

Yesterday, the FBI quietly released part 15 of its Hillary R. Clinton files, containing a total of 137 pages, mostly redacted, pertaining to the FBI's investigation of Clinton's private email server. The release provides further evidence that former Director Comey closed the Clinton email investigation prematurely, before the FBI had received all of the evidence

Back in July, I called for a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's collusion with Russia to turn over control of 20 percent of our uranium supplies to Russian interests in return for some $145 million in donation to the Clinton Foundation. Now it turns out that there was one, an FBI investigation dating back to 2009, with current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller up to their eyeballs in covering up evidence of Hillary's collusion, bordering on treason, with Vladimir Putin's Russia:

Prior to the Obama administration approving the very controversial deal in 2010 giving Russia 20% of America's Uranium, the FBI had evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were involved in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering in order to benefit Vladimir Putin, says a report by The Hill....

John Solomon and Alison Spann of The Hill: Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show....

From today's report we find out that the investigation was supervised by then-U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, who is now President Trump's Deputy Attorney General, and then-Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who is now the deputy FBI director under Trump.

Robert Mueller was head of the FBI from Sept 2001-Sept 2013 until James Comey took over as FBI Director in 2013. They were BOTH involved in this Russian scam being that this case started in 2009 and ended in 2015.

If evidence of bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering in the Uranium One affair are not grounds for a special prosecutor assigned to investigate Hillary Clinton, what is? Rosenstein and Mueller, by their silence on this investigation hidden from Congress and the American people, are unindicted co-conspirators in Hillary's crimes and should be terminated immediately.

Arizona Sen. John McCain took another swipe at Trump administration policy in a speech to the U.S. Naval Academy, where he slammed both isolationism and nationalism, ideas he said are ascendant within the President Trump's White House.

In the speech to the midshipmen in Annapolis, Maryland, on Monday, the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman ripped into the Trump administration's policies, although - taking a Voldemort-like approach that's become habitual among anti-Trump conservatives - he never mentioned the president's name.

McCain contrasted the "hopeful atmosphere of 1991" after the fall of the Soviet Union with "the current circumstances of our world," according to USNI News.

"We have gone from an interval when the global success of democracy seemed assured to a time in which the seductions of authoritarian rule find favor with many; when self-interested leadership excuses naked aggression with weak rationalizations; when ethnic grievances haunt the old and religious fanaticism fires the minds of the misguided young," McCain said.
