WikiLeaks has released another batch of emails from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta.

The whistleblowing site has published more than 50,000 emails in the lead up to the presidential election on Tuesday. Today's trache contains 2074 new emails.

Saturday's release contained transcripts from Bill Clinton's fundraising speeches, which included the former president attacking UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and discussing the need for a tough leader to "enforce the trigger that will re-impose sanctions" should Iran violate the nuclear deal.

Also included are examples of Clinton aides worrying "there are no good answers" to questions about the Clinton Foundation.

Chelsea Clinton using Foundation money for wedding

A January 2012 email chain from longtime Clinton adviser and former Clinton Foundation fundraiser Doug Band accuses Chelsea Clinton of using Foundation money for her wedding.

"The investigation into her getting paid for campaigning, using foundation resources for her wedding and life for a decade, taxes on money from her parents...." Band says to Podesta.

Band dislikes Chelsea Clinton particularly as she was investigating his role in the Foundation and appears often in the Podesta emails.

"I hope that you will speak to her and end this once we go down this road..." Band says.

ISIS Calls For "Slaughter Of Americans" On Election Day

ISIS jihadis
Jihadi propagandists for American dumocracy
One day after US intelligence sources warned that Al-Qaeda may be preparing for potential terrorist attacks in New York, Texas and Virginia, on Saturday the Islamic State called for the "slaughter" of U.S. voters on Election Day and demanded that Muslims not participate in the democratic process because "there is no difference between the Republican and Democratic parties in their "policies against Islam and Muslims."

Comment: Notice how ISIS, like al-qaeda before it, serve the purpose of galvanizing Americans to 'defend their freedoms' and vote. Vote, even if it makes no difference and you live under a de-facto oligarchy, because voting will go a little way to convincing you that you are 'free'.

Media missing the real story on Abedin-Weiner laptop scandal

Mark Cuban held forth on the Abedin-Weiner laptop emails scandal
So you want to talk to Mark Cuban on the latest Hillary email thing eh?

You ought to try someone with a bit of credibility. You see, Mark Cuban is not ignorant and his appearance this morning on CNBC did not contain "mistakes."

He was lying.

This "newly discovered" laptop is very likely to be literal nuclear waste for Hillary and everyone around her, including the Clinton Foundation and all of Hillary's "advisers" such as Podesta.

Mark Cuban said that Huma used Outlook and IMAP (for Yahoo and similar.) True.

But then he said this was unlikely to lead to "new" evidence in the form of the emails.

That's a lie.

Podesta: Calling Chelsea 'Not Smart' For Digging Into Clinton Foundation Funds Is An 'Understatement'

Chelsea Clinton email scandal
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta said it was a major understatement when an important Clinton Foundation figure described Chelsea Clinton as "not smart," a newly-leaked email reveals.

The 2012 email is from the latest batch of leaked communications put out by the online hacktivist group Wikileaks. In the email, Podesta responds to Doug Band, a former Bill Clinton assistant who helped found the Clinton Global Initiative.

Comment: Apparently Chelsea was smart enough to know her parents use their 'charity' to enrich themselves by selling political influence to some of the most corrupt regimes around the world.

Leaked Transcript: Bill Clinton Says 'Political System Is Rigged' And Hillary 'Deserves' The White House

Bill Clinton leaked email politcal system rigged
Leaked transcripts from a closed-door fundraiser reveal former president Bill Clinton privately agreeing with one of Republican nominee Donald Trump's major campaign themes: the political system is rigged against working class Americans.

Clinton also appeared to tell the audience of Democratic donors that Hillary Clinton "deserves" to be elected president.

Clinton's comments took place at an October 2015 private fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in Cheseapeake, Maryland.

Al-Qaeda Jihadis launch a 'do or die' attempt to break the siege in eastern Allepo

jihadi fighter
As time runs out on Vladimir Putin's offer for Jihadi fighters to quit eastern Aleppo peacefully, and as the Russian fleet approaches the Syrian coast, Al-Qaeda again launches despite heavy losses assault to break siege of eastern Aleppo.

Having nursed their wounds following their defeat of a few days ago, the Al-Qaeda led Jihadis today attacked western Aleppo again.

As is always the case with the fighting in Syria, it is difficult to get a clear picture of what is going on. However this appears to be a major attack, with more Jihadis brought in from other fronts to replace the earlier losses, and with the Jihadis making their usual use of their now traditional tactic of hurling explosive laden trucks driven by suicide bombers at the Syrian army defenders (this tactic is actually of diminishing value since the Syrian troops have become practised at destroying these trucks before they reach their targets).

'Red Scare 2.0': Russia and the 2016 US election

Among the many ways in which the 2016 US presidential election has been out of the ordinary is the invocation of Russia as a looming threat to American democracy, basically putting "Putin on the ballot" in the words of the Washington Post.

Russia was the topic that attracted the most attention during all three presidential debates and the vice-presidential one, easily surpassing every other subject by a wide margin. Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) was a distant second, while taxes brought up the third place.

Catapulting the propaganda: US officials threaten Russia with cyber-terrorism

John Podesta and Hillary Clinton
The US threat to launch cyber-attacks on Russia is an utterly irresponsible and reckless piece of news manipulation intended to help implant a false narrative of Russian meddling in the US election in order to get Hillary Clinton elected.

As might be expected of this, the most appalling Presidential election in the US's modern history, it is now ending with an ugly threat.

This is the threat by the US to "retaliate" against Russian attempts to "disrupt" the election by launching cyber-warfare attacks on "Russia's electric grid, telecommunications networks and the Kremlin's command systems".

Lavrov's visit to Greece about energy security of Southeast Europe

Sergey Lavrov
One of the main issues on the agenda during Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov's visit to Greece on 2-3 November is to discuss the prospects for energy cooperation between Moscow and Athens within the broader issue of Europe's energy security.

Greece is a key consumer of Russian gas, and gas supplies to the country are increasing. Between January and October 2016 alone, Gazprom's exports to Greece increased by 47.3 percent in annual terms. According to this indicator, the Greek energy market has become one of the fastest growing for Russia in the European Union, along with those of Britain, the Netherlands, Austria and Denmark. More generally, Gazprom's Russian gas supplies to non-CIS countries during the same period increased by 10 percent in annual terms, which further highlights the trend.
