James Carville
Famed Democratic strategist James Carville may be the first Clinton surrogate to have officially lost his mind over the FBI's decision to reopen its investigation into Clinton's private email server.
In an appearance on MSNBC on Monday, Carville relentlessly — and repeatedly — attacked the FBI's decision to reopen the investigation, asserting it is part of a conspiracy to subvert American democracy.
"This is in effect an attempt to hijack an election," Carville claimed. "It's unprecedented ... the House Republicans and the KGB are trying to influence our democracy," he said.
Apparently the fact that the Soviet security agency was disbanded in 1991 does not preclude its involvement in this vast, anti-Clinton, FBI-organized conspiracy, according to Carville. Poor Carville was clearly apoplectic at the news of Comey's announcement, describing it as an assault or attack on American democracy multiple times.

Following Monday's arrests of the editor-in-chief and other top staff of Turkey's opposition Cumhuriyet daily, European Parliament President Martin Schulz harshly criticized Ankara's actions, having called it a part of a "purge... motivated by political considerations, rather than legal and security rationale."
Turkey has once again crossed the "red line" against freedom of expression, the politician wrote on Twitter.
"Brother, we don't care about your red line. It's the people who draw the red line. What importance does your line have. We draw another red line on top of yours," Yildirim told members of his ruling AK Party in a parliament speech.
Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev
The Security Council is charged with working out the president's decisions on national security affairs. In this light, Sputnik asked Secretary Patrushev to lay out his views regarding the security situation in the world today, and the regions which he sees as the most problematic.
"The situation in the world is not becoming any easier," the official admitted. "There is a growing competition for global influence and the use of global resources."At the same time, Patrushev added, "the excessive ambitions of some countries is provoking new challenges and security threats in a variety of regions around the world, and creates serious obstacles to the creation of bilateral and multilateral efforts aimed at resolving crisis situations."
Not only Killary, entire Obama administration exposed for using private email to avoid FOIA requests
According to former State Department official Tom Nides, in a 2015 email to John Podesta (Clinton campaign manager), everyone in Obama's cabinet and every White House staffer uses their personal email for government business. Nides should know as he worked under Hillary Clinton in the State Department from 2011 to 2013, according to one source.

Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA, says the market's decline this fall has been a bad omen for the incumbent party and Hillary Clinton, who still holds a six point national lead in a new poll. The S&P 500 is down 2.2 percent since its close of 2,173 on July 29, a Friday and the last trading day of July.
"Going back to World War II, the S&P 500 performance between July 31 and Oct. 31 has accurately predicted a challenger victory 86 percent of the time when the stock market performance has been negative," he said. The one time in eight that the incumbent party won with a negative stock market was in 1956, when Adlai Stevenson challenged President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Turkish tanks as well as armored vehicles have started moving into the town of Silopi, located close to the border with Iraq, Turkish Dogan news agency and Reuters report citing army sources.
According to the country's Defense Minister Fikri Isik, the deployment is part of anti-terrorist fight and is also linked to the developments in Iraq.
"We will not allow the threat to Turkey to increase," Isik told broadcaster A Haber as cited by Reuters. Ankara has "no obligation" to wait until the fighters of the Kurdistan Workers Partry (PKK), considered by Turkey terrorists, will seize territories in Iraq's Sinjar region, around 115 km south of Silopi, Isik added.
Earlier in October, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu warned the PKK of using bases in northern Iraq, where its main bases are located. "If there is a threat posed to Turkey, we are ready to use all our resources including a ground operation to eliminate that threat," Hurriyet daily news quoted the official as saying.

"First, the United States calls on the parties to recommit immediately to the cessation of hostilities, which means halting all military actions on the ground, in the air, and at sea. That includes an end to shelling and an end to airstrikes," Ambassador Samantha Power said at a UN Security Council briefing on Monday.
"There is very little good news in Yemen, but one small piece of good news is that we have seen that the parties can reduce the violence in Yemen when they show the will to do so," she noted.
Power slammed missile attacks by Yemeni Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia, noting that "every country has a right to defend itself, and the United States remains fully committed to the security of Saudi Arabia."
Comment: Translation: We're making a lot of money here. And besides, they donated a lot to Killary.
"It is also incumbent on the Saudi-led coalition and the forces of the Yemeni government to refrain from taking steps that escalate this violence and to commit to the cessation of hostilities," she added.
"After 19 months of fighting, it should be clear that there is absolutely no military solution to this conflict. Airstrikes that hit schools, hospitals and other civilian objects have to stop. In many cases these strikes have damaged key infrastructure that is essential to delivering humanitarian aid in Yemen," Power concluded.
"I FBI director [James Comey] am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."
Two important questions:
- WHO IS BEHIND WIKILEAKS WHICH RELEASED THE EMAILS?
- WHO IS BEHIND FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY?
Has there been a shift in the Corporate Elite's unbending support for Hillary Clinton? Or are the Elites divided? This is something to be carefully investigated.
Comment: Clarification: the emails Comey referred to are NOT related to the Wikileaks releases. But the question still stands. As for the shift, it sure looks like it: Is Clinton finished? FBI doubles down, says no evidence of Trump-Putin collusion

George, a conservative election watchdog, charged on Monday that the Virginia Department of Elections is overpreparing for worst-case scenarios and increasing the likelihood of illegal votes being cast. In reply to Republican complaints earlier this month, Virginia Department of Elections Commissioner Edgardo Cortés acknowledged officials are preparing for all contingencies, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
But George said the provisional ballot printing doesn't make sense even for contingencies. And it doesn't compare to demand in 2012. "The claim that it is for contingency planning is bogus," George said in an email. "In 2012, Stafford County used less [sic] than 500 provisional ballots — in 2016 they received 30,000. In 2012, Loudoun County used 700 provisional ballots. In 2016, they received 84,000. In 2012, Fairfax used 2,500 provisional ballots; in 2016, they received over 265,000. This is ridiculous."
Comment: Don't suppose those felons know which party is giving them the right to vote... Naw, no way! The Dems wouldn't do that! (Ahem)

Comment: Carville's assertions are an insult to the intelligence of anyone who's been following arch-criminal's Killary's exploits, law-breaking and her own election strategy mayhem. The very fact that hired-gun Carville would repeat the Big Lie about Russia and choose to work on behalf of someone like Killary speaks volumes about the guy.
