WikiLeaks has released a 20th batch of emails from the account of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chair. The issues discussed include Bill Clinton's past, Benghazi, the email server scandal and even alien life.

The whistleblowing site has promised to release 50,000 messages from Podesta in the lead up to the US presidential election on November 8. A total of 34,197 communications have been released to date.

Bill's past

Bill Clinton's controversial past was evidently of concern to his wife's campaign team, which discussed how to handle questions on allegations of sexual assault against him.

Preparation for what the media might throw at her included the questions: "Will you apologize to the women who were wrongly smeared by your husband and his allies?" and "How is what Bill Clinton did different from what Bill Cosby did?"

The mail was sent by Ron Klain, a member of Clinton's debate preparation team, on January 12, 2016. Several days previous Paula Jones, one of Bill Clinton's accusers, gave an interview calling Hillary Clinton a"liar" and "two-faced" for trying to discredit her husband's accusers.

Bridging the black vote gap: Trump promises 'new deal for black America'

Donald Trump called for a "new deal for black America" in a Wednesday afternoon address as he works to bridge the gap he faces with the crucial voting bloc less than two weeks from Election Day.

Speaking in Charlotte, N.C., the GOP presidential nominee criticized years of Democratic rule for leaving black America behind and outlined his plan to help.

My "deal is grounded in three promises: safe communities, great education and high-paying jobs," Trump said, speaking off what appeared to be scripted remarks.

"Whether you vote for me or not, I will be your greatest champion. We live in a very divided country, and I will be your greatest champion."

Trump called on voters to repudiate Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and her party in favor of change.

"American politics is caught in a time loop. We keep electing the same people over and over and over," he said.

"Every day, I'm out on the trail proposing fresh solutions and new thinking. And every day, the same people, getting rich off our broken system, say we can't change and we can't try anything new, because it's not good for them."

U.S. calls for special Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces talks - Russia accepts

The United States has called for a special meeting with Russia over alleged violations of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty - a landmark Cold War-era agreement.

Washington wants the Special Verification Commission (SVC) to discuss the problems related to the treaty's compliance. The event is expected to take place in mid-November. The INF set up the Special Verification Commission as a way to deal with disputes surrounding the treaty. Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan can also attend the meeting because they housed intermediate range missiles before the disintegration of the Soviet Union and remain parties to the treaty. No SVC meeting has been convened since 2003.

Russia welcomes the United States' offer. «We have responded positively», said Mikhail Ulyanov, the head of Foreign Ministry's Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Department.

Comment: As usual, the U.S. blames Russia for what the U.S. is doing. And as usual, they provide no evidence or argumentation. They can't even say which Russian "missile" violates the treaty! Thankfully, these talks will give Russia the opportunity of bringing up the issue of the U.S.'s very real violation of the INF treaty.

Montenegro's Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic has resigned, hours after suggesting that Russia was involved in an alleged coup attempt on the country's election day and accusing the opposition of collaborating with the Kremlin.

Djukanovic said on October 25 that there was "a strong connection of a foreign factor" in the October 16 vote, which was marked by the arrest of 20 people suspected of planning armed attacks against the prime minister and his supporters after parliamentary election results were announced.

Russia has strongly opposed Djukanovic's bid to join NATO and the European Union while opposition leaders made frequent visits to Moscow ahead of the vote.

The Montenegro prosecutor's office has alleged that the detained group planned to attack people in front of parliament after the vote results were proclaimed, then storm the building and arrest Djukanovic.

Ankara will benefit from the Mosul operation in case the city is not divided into sectarian areas after liberation, Yasar Yakis, Turkey's former minister of foreign affairs, told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi.
"Benefits for Ankara from Mosul operation will depend on what will be done in Mosul after ISIS [Daesh] is cleared from there, whether it will be divided into six small pockets according to ethnic and confessional and sectarian divides. Because there are Turkmens there, but 60 percent of them are Shia, 40 percent of Turkmens are Sunni, then there are also Kurds, non-Muslims, and Arabs. So if six cantons are to be established there, then do we sow the seeds of the new conflict? Because it will not be a monolith composition... We should not create new problems," Yakis said.

Israel snubs UNESCO's Temple Mount resolution with ancient Jerusalem papyrus

Israel presented an ancient fragment of text in Hebrew referencing Jerusalem and recalled its ambassador to UNESCO in a gesture of protest against a resolution which criticized Israel for restricting Muslims' access to a holy site in the city.

The text, written on a 11cm by 2.5cm papyrus, was dated by the Israel Antiquities Authority to the 7th century BCE and was said to be the earliest Hebrew reference to Jerusalem outside of the Bible.

"From the king's maidservant, from Na'arat, jars of wine, to Jerusalem," read the two lines of script. Archeologists believe it to be document detailing payment of taxes or transfer of goods.


Comment: So a Hebrew writer knew how to spell "Jerusalem" 2700 years ago. Wow.


"Hey UNESCO, an ancient papyrus dating to the 1st Temple 2700 yrs ago has been found. It bears the oldest known mention of Jerusalem in Hebrew," Ofir Gendelman, a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wrote on Twitter.


Comment: Hey Ofir, that's a non sequitur.


Comment: Leave it to a Netanyahu mouthpiece, and brainwashed Israelis like him, to think that an ancient letter referencing Jerusalem proves anything about the validity of biblical myths, let alone a contemporary land dispute.

NGOs should condemn terrorists in Syria, not Russia fighting them

The NGOs that demanded Russia's removal from UN Human Rights Council lack impartiality as they ignore terrorist activities as well as violations by the US-led coalition in Syria, the Russian Foreign Ministry's Commissioner for Human Rights told RT.

Targeting Russia was "a gross misstep on the part of the human rights defenders," Konstantin Dolgov said.

"If they call themselves [human rights defenders] they have to be objective. Al least, they have to try to be impartial. How can they assess the human rights situation in Syria in this one-sided manner? Just to join the chorus of Western governments and politicians, groundlessly accusing Russia of bombing civilian targets in Syria, without providing any evidence of this," Dolgov added.

The NGOs, which failed to provide any solid proof of Russia's alleged wrongdoings, "completely ignore the bulk of the problem" in Syria, the commissioner stressed. "And the bulk of the problem is the activities of the terrorist organizations like Islamic State, [Jabhat] al-Nusra... which have been persistently killing dozens of thousands of civilians in Syria."

UN failed to organize evacuation of civilians from rebel-held Aleppo

Russia's ambassador to the United Nations has criticized UN's failure to properly organize humanitarian evacuations of the wounded from terrorist-held areas of Aleppo. The UN envoy to Syria defended the team, pinning the blame on the warring parties.

"We regret to note that the United Nations has not properly worked out an operation to evacuate the sick and the wounded," Vitaly Churkin noted at the UN Security Council session, according to RIA.

The ambassador added that the UN work with various opposition groups in Aleppo and the local council was "left to take care of itself." He stressed that the UN personnel did not "exert the necessary pressure" on "sponsors" of illegal armed groups to convince them to cooperate with the aid workers on the ground.

The MSM's twisted war language: Our 'sieges' and theirs

The hypocritical Western heart beats for all except those the US Empire drowns in blood. [1]

"In Syria almost everybody is under siege to a greater or lesser degree," observes the Independent's Patrick Cockburn. [2] Most people, however, think the only siege in Syria is the one imposed on (East) Aleppo by Syrian and Russian forces. But siege as a form of warfare is hardly uniquely embraced by the Syrian Arab Army and Russian military. On the contrary, the United States and its allies have been practicing siege warfare in the Levant and beyond for years, and continue to do so. It's just that US-led siege warfare has been concealed behind anodyne, even heroic, labels, while the siege warfare of countries Washington is hostile to, is abominated by Western state officials crying crocodile tears.

Here's how the deception works:

Sieges of cities controlled by Islamic State, carried out by US forces and their allies, are called rescue operations, or campaigns to liberate or retake cities—never sieges. Other sieges—the ones carried out by Al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, formerly Al Nusra, which, herein, I'll call Al Qaeda for convenience—are ignored altogether (which might suggest something about the relationship of Al Qaeda's Syria affiliate to the United States.) And a particularly injurious form of siege—economic sanctions — is presented as a separate category altogether and not siege warfare at all. But sanctions, imposed by rich countries, such as the United States and those of the European Union, on poor countries, such as Syria, are a modern form of siege, and have been called sanctions of mass destruction, in recognition of their devastating character.
