Clinton's negative campaign against Trump, and the media leashed to her messages, are doing Trump a huge favor. Unless they can break away from their limited framework, stop their unintended advertising for Trump's campaign, they will propel him to victory.

Here is an example: Networks on Trump: A 'Dark Speech' From a 'Vengeful' 'Demagogue' - Newsbuster

The three networks on Thursday night immediately derided Donald Trump's "dark speech" as one coming from a "vengeful" "demagogue."

The "dark speech" theme was obviously a canned response by the Clinton campaign. Her independent media (not) dutifully repeated it over and over. But that negative "dark speech" theme, supposed to condemn Trump, only makes his point.

(Isn't it amazing how Putin can compel all U.S. media to parrot the very same message?)

Billionaire Labour donor Assem Allam has encouraged MPs opposed to party leader Jeremy Corbyn to defect and start a new party, after saying he will not support the embattled Labour chief or his leadership rival Owen Smith.

Businessman and Hull City football club owner Allam told reporters he had held conversations with several Labour representatives in the House of Commons when Corbyn first won the leadership race in September 2015.

Speaking about his meeting with four high-profile politicians, Allam told the Times: "They said, 'We agree with you, yes he will never win an election, yes he will never be a strong opposition leader — but we want to leave it for a year.' Their view was, 'We don't want to rock the boat.' I said, 'You are not doing your party or democracy a favour.' I have been proved right, unfortunately."

Allam now wants all of those disagreeing with Corbyn to sever ties with the Labour Party entirely and start a new political project. "Now is the time. We missed a year and look at the damage that has happened in that time. At prime minister's questions they are taking the mickey out of [Corbyn]," he added.

The policy of one-sided military dominance exercised by the US and its NATO allies could cause a major standoff similar to the Cuban missile crisis of the early 1960s, the head of the Russian Federation Council's International Affairs Committee has warned. Though the world is not currently facing the threat of a new nuclear crisis, Russia's opponents could make such a situation a reality, senator Konstantin Kosachev said in a major interview with popular daily Izvestia.

Kosachev noted that global security has passed through three stages and is currently at the beginning of a fourth period. The first stage took place in the 1950s and 1960s, when the national security of a state or group of states was secured by pure military dominance. Very soon this approach became universal and all major nations became involved in the arms race, perfecting their weapons systems and creating military blocs.

The second stage lasted throughout 1970s and 1980s, when nations understood the futility of their efforts to become the strongest and instead started to limit each other's military might through international treaties. This was the period of agreements securing the global balance of forces.

The third period started with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. In the Paris Charter of the 1990s, world powers agreed to maintain the logic of the second stage and build a common security system through avoiding standoffs and mutual threats, acting like equal partners.

However, instead of following the principles of the Paris Charter, the United States and its NATO allies have returned to the first stage and are now attempting to secure their safety through ultimate military dominance, Kosachev stated. NATO is expanding, and its members are continuously increasing their military budgets and developing new types of weapons.

Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has said that the ties with the US could turn sour unless Washington extradites cleric Gulen, who, according to Ankara, is behind the failed coup.

His statement comes ahead of his trip to the US, and he said he would discuss the relations with US officials during the visit.

Washington has repeatedly said that Turkey must give clear evidence of Gulen's link with the attempted coup before discussing any possible extradition. Lawyers have said the process, if launched, may take years.


Cavusoglu also said Turkey may remove some ambassadors linked to the coup attempt.

On Friday Wikileaks released nearly 20,000 hacked emails it says are from the accounts of Democratic National Committee officials.

The documents were released just days before the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia.

The hacked emails revealed the DNC's hatred for Bernie Sanders and his movement. The documents reveal the party's hidden ties with the liberal media. The emails reveal the heights of dishonesty of the party infrastructure.

Now there is a list of a few of the most shocking emails released by Wikileaks.

The list was compiled thanks to the work of Reddit Bernie Sander supporters and Donald Trump supporters:

China's foreign minister has warned South Korea against deploying American THAAD missile defense complexes, saying it would harm the "foundation of mutual trust." Beijing holds the US responsible for upsetting the strategic balance in the region.

The deployment of the advanced Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile systems announced by South Korea on July 8 has forced China to put the question point-blank and demand that Seoul makes a choice of having good relations with either Beijing or Washington.

Seoul and Washington have insisted that THAAD systems in South Korea would counter North Korean ballistic missiles.

"The recent move by the South Korean side has harmed the foundation of mutual trust between the two countries," Reuters cited Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi as telling his South Korean counterpart, Yun Byung-se.

The Turkish government has issued detention warrants for 42 journalists suspected of having links to the failed military coup on July 15, NTV reported Monday. So far the authorities have detained and placed under investigation some 60,000 people. According to the broadcaster, the list includes renowned national media figures such as commentator and former MP Nazli Ilicak, Reuters reports.

As of Sunday, a total of 13,165 people have been detained in connection to the foiled coup attempt, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. The leader specified that 8,838 of those arrested are soldiers, 2,101 are judges and prosecutors, 1,485 are police officers, 52 are local authorities and 689 are civilians, the Hurriyet daily reported.

A joint indictment of 73 suspects, including US-based preacher Fetullah Gulen, was approved by an Ankara court on Saturday. The suspects are accused of having links to the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), alleged to be behind the coup attempt, a Turkish judicial official told Anadolu Agency.

The Syrian Army has taken control of strategic points along the line of an oil pipeline in al-Badia.

The Syrian Army troops and units of the National Defense have jointly continued to move eastward into the desert area of al-Salamiyah, taking control of strategic points along the oil pipeline, which was under the control of Daesh terrorists.

In recent days, in the east of the city, fierce fighting between Syrian government forces and Daesh was ongoing.

The battle raged for the opening of the front to the east of al-Salamiyah, after government forces drove the Daesh militants from Palmyra and al-Sukhnah.

The Yeni Safak newspaper printed a picture of a US military commander it claims led the attempt to overthrow the Erdogan government only hours before a massive blaze broke out near a NATO base.

On Sunday, hours before a massive blaze broke out near the NATO base in the western Turkish town of Izmir, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's primary print publication for his Islamist supporters - Yeni Safak, printed the image of NATO International Security Assistance Force Commander Army General John F. Campbell accusing the US military official of plotting the coup against Erdogan in league with US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen.

The conservative Turkish daily newspaper is known for its hardline support of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). The newspaper is known for inciting violence and spreading disinformation about Gezi protesters during the 2013-2014 protests in Turkey, threatening journalists for other news outlets saying "they will pay a heavy price for treason," and fabricating interviews.

Yet the newspaper does have a strong pro-Erdogan and Islamist reader base serving as a critical outlet for the Turkish government to influence views and actions of the people of Turkey and to incite a reaction.

The Australian government has called on lawmakers to speed up the adoption of new legislation enabling courts to prolong the imprisonment of convicted terrorists indefinitely after they serve the terms they are sentenced to. The new measure would only apply to very-high-risk offenders.

The fifth tranche of the counter-terrorism legislation is now going to be reintroduced to the Australian parliament. The new bill initiated by the ruling Coalition will also introduce a new regime of juvenile control for children as young as 14, and create a new offence of 'advocacy of genocide'.

Following the recent terrorist attacks in Europe, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has urged state and territory leaders to promote indefinite imprisonment for those terrorist convicts who are likely to lapse into their old ways. "There has been an increase in the frequency and the severity of terrorist attacks globally, and particularly in Western nations such as ours," Turnbull acknowledged. "In the wake of Orlando, Nice and other terrorist incidents... we cannot for a moment be complacent."
