Russia and Turkey are set to find common ground on Syria, revamp stalled energy projects and boost bilateral trade, closing a sour chapter in relations with an array of deals as President Putin and President Erdogan meet in Istanbul.

Vladimir Putin is coming to Istanbul on Monday at the invitation of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to participate in the 23rd World Energy Congress, which opened on October 9.

The meeting of the two leaders will focus on restoring Russian-Turkish relations "in all aspects" and is going to provide the presidents with an opportunity to exchange views on a broad range of regional and international topics, first and foremost on the situation in Syria, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told RIA Novosti on Sunday.

Russia's Foreign Ministry expressed hope that cooperation within the war-ravaged country will bear fruit and may even pave the way for joint action, pointing out that Ankara is ready to assist in the renewal of a ceasefire and to facilitate humanitarian aid deliveries.

Trump says Hillary Clinton would be in jail if he were in charge of the justice system, promising to hire a special prosecutor to "look into her situation" if he's elected president.

Speaking at the second presidential debate on Sunday, Clinton said it was "awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the laws in this country."

'You'd be in jail'

Quickly responding to that remark, Trump said that was "because you'd be in jail" if that were the case.

Donald Trump said he "disagrees" with his running mate over US intervention in Syria. Mike Pence had called for hitting Syrian government targets, but on Sunday the GOP nominee said that instead, the US should work together with Russia against ISIS.

"He and I haven't spoken and I disagree," Trump said during Sunday's presidential debate, when asked whether he agreed with Pence's calls for bombing Syria.

During the presidential debates on Tuesday Pence had said that the US should be ready to strike the Syrian army if Russia continues to be involved in what he called"barbaric actions" in Aleppo.

Both Trump and Clinton were asked what would they do about the situation in Aleppo, which the question - asked via Facebook - compared to the Holocaust.

Former Italian foreign minister: "US no-fly zone in Aleppo would serve only one purpose - to protect al-Nusra, aka al-Qaeda"

Creating a no fly zone in the Syrian city of Aleppo would mean protecting Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists, who should instead be the target of international airstrikes together with Islamic State, Franco Frattini, Italy's former foreign minister, told RT.

"It was a mistake from the Western coalition in not highlighting the distinction between the so-called moderate rebels and... [Jabhat] al-Nusra," Frattini, who has also served as European Commissioner for Justice, said in an interview at RT's studios in Moscow on Sunday.

The former Italian FM expressed confidence that Al-Nusra should be a target of international strikes, just like Islamic State (IS/Daesh, formerly ISIS/ISIL).

"I'm completely convinced that if this point is overcome, the solution [to the Syrian crisis] will be found," he said.

How predictable: Time Magazine joins the 'Russia is trying to undermine U.S. elections' fray - with zero evidence

Time magazine's parent company is a top donor to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign — a factor that may help explain the publication's obsession with blaming Russian president Vladimir Putin for "rigging" the U.S. presidential election.

This year, alone, Time Inc., the organization behind Time — one of the most prestigious American weekly news magazines in history — donated nearly $15,000 to the Clinton campaign. A second organization, Time Warner, which was deeply tied to Time until 2014, is also a major Clinton fan. The company gave her campaign $327,308 in individual contributions in 2016, alone.

But perhaps most telling of the organization's preferences is the presence of Nancy Gibbs as Time's managing editor. At the tender age of 53, she "shattered a glass ceiling" by taking over for Richard Stengel, who in 2013 "[stepped] down from his news magazine job to join the Obama administration at the Department of State," Politico reported.

Gibbs is a competent writer, whose impressive resume includes writing for Time for 28 years. This makes her "one of the most published writers in the history of the magazine, having been an essayist and lead writer on virtually every major news event of the past two decades," according to Magazine.org.

Will Russia's line in the Syrian sand draw an end to the United States imperial ambitions?

After three decades of untrammeled power, with the destruction of Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya the calamitous result, Russia has drawn a line in the sand in Syria against Washington's double-dealing and duplicity.

Making a desert and calling it peace, this is the message delivered to us down through the ages from the Roman historian Tacitus when it comes to the reality of empire, stripped bare of pretense and obfuscation. Its modern variant is 'destroying the village in order to save it'. Embodied within both is the same inarguable truth - that empire, any empire, is neither benign nor benevolent. Instead, it represents a monstrous perversion of morality and a violation of the right of all peoples and nations to self-determination.

One of the most astounding aspects of empire is the consistent inability or refusal of its adherents in any given historical epoch to understand that it contains within in it the seeds of its own demise. This is entirely due to one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition - namely that the injustice that supports untrammeled power invites its own response in the form of resistance.

Attention

Videos aren't the only media the US has faked

When a joint investigation by The Sunday Times and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism is headlined "Fake News and False Flags" you know that something is so rotten in the state of Denmark (or the District of Criminals) that the stench can no longer be ignored.
Pentagon Propaganda

Long story short:
"The Pentagon gave a controversial UK PR firm over half a billion dollars to run a top secret propaganda programme in Iraq, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism can reveal. Bell Pottinger's output included short TV segments made in the style of Arabic news networks and fake insurgent videos which could be used to track the people who watched them, according to a former employee."
According to the report, based largely on the testimony of an ex-Bell Pottinger employee, the program was overseen by General David Petraeus and the White House itself and consisted of three categories of production: "white" ops, where the work is attributed; "gray" ops, where the work is unattributed; and "black" ops, where the work is falsely attributed.

The gray ops included things like piecing together low-resolution video of insurgent bombings around Iraq, putting an Arabic narration on it, and distributing it to local TV stations to air. They were made to look like they had been created by Arabic TV stations. One might note, as the Bureau does, that this is the exact type of operation that the Pentagon was exposed for running with a different PR firm in 2005 that caused national indignation and an official investigation.

The black ops that Bell Pottinger engaged in included creating fake "al-Qaeda" videos cobbled together from "actual" (?) al-Qaeda videos and burnt to CDs. These CDs were then dropped at the scene of raids of suspected insurgents. According to the Bureau investigation, the videos were encoded in Real Player format, which requires an internet connection to run. A code tying that internet access to a Google Analytics account was then used to track the IP address of whatever computer ended up playing the CD.

Leaked emails from Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta's personal email account published by WikiLeaks reveal the Clinton campaign's coordination with George Soros's Open Society Foundations on the subject of police reform.

Soros, who has given almost $10 million to Clinton super PAC Priorities USA, is a major funder of Black Lives Matter. The Washington Times reported in August that Soros has given at least $33 million to the group through the Open Society Foundations (OSF), which he funds and controls.

Both OSF and Clinton have called to crack down on police officers' "implicit bias."

Thailand: The West's weaponisation of corruption indexes

For the Southeast Asian state of Thailand, overcoming corruption could be one of several essential steps required to fully tap the human and natural resources this already influential ASEAN state has benefited from for centuries. However, to tackle corruption, the nation must first define what it is, and what it hopes to achieve by confronting and overcoming it.

Currently, the focus unfortunately appears to be on addressing Thailand's score upon the so-called Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) put out by alleged nongovernmental organisation (NGO), Transparency International.
