Wikileaks released a bombshell document on Saturday showing strategies to align the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign by promoting — not criticizing — the field of Republican opponents, particularly highlighting Donald Trump.

From the memo addressed to the DNC under the heading, "Our Goals & Strategy":
Our hope is that the goal of a potential HRC campaign and the DNC would be one-in-the-same: to make whomever the Republicans nominate unpalatable to the majority of the electorate. We have outlined three strategies to obtain our goal ...

Comment: It seems Wikileaks has given us a very revealing peek behind the curtain of the Killary campaign with the leak of the Podesta emails. See also:

About humanity: The World is silently watching!

As much as has been said and written about the global refugee crisis, there is always more to add. There is need to raise more awareness of this unheralded phenomenon, with the hope that the effort might help press the action button in some corner of the world. The situation is getting out of control and each country is blaming others for the status quo. Little is being done to address this global affliction, and the measures adopted are either scarce and inadequate, or disproportionate to the situation at hand.

The scale of the Problem

The United Nations Refugee Agency, UNHCR, says 24 people were forced to flee their homes every minute in 2015, with the total number of displaced people hitting a record 65.3 million. Over 40 million of them were on the move within their own countries, while more than 21 million were refugees.

As per the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees, a refugee is someone who risks being persecuted in their country of origin for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion. All contracting states are obliged to provide protection to refugees. As a complement to the Convention, the European Union has introduced "Subsidiary Protection" covering persons who face the risk of indiscriminate violence in armed conflicts.

Editorial: George Soros's "From America with Love" letter promises Putin a Maidan - but the old man is dreaming

Anyone who follows the activities of George Soros knows that this ardent and consistent enemy of Russia is characterized by an unhealthy obsession with vivid gestures and symbolic actions. He does not hesitate to directly appeal to leading world politicians and even tries to publicly dictate political decisions to the leaders of such countries as Germany or Greece and even sometimes swings out at and chastises the European Commission.

Soros could easily be mistaken for the village psycho who has simply seized the opportunity to publicly express his overvalued ideas, but things are not so simple. After all, it is he who sponsored numerous "color revolutions" in many countries. He very well might be a psycho, but he is an influential and dangerous psycho.

This time, the American oligarch has, with great geopolitical ambition, decided to appeal to Russians with the call to unite and oppose the war crimes supposedly being perpetrated by the Russian Army in Syria. I don't think that it is a coincidence that this appeal was aired by the media on October 7th, the birthday of the Russian president. I believe that this was a kind of birthday greeting for the Russian president, whom Soros essentially promises will suffer the fate of Serbia's Milosevic.

Foreign Secretary Yasay explains why the Philippines wants to break away from US: 'America has failed us'

Duterte
The Philippines's top diplomat said President Rodrigo Duterte is seeking an independent foreign policy for the country because "America has failed us" in the decades since it gained independence from its former colonial master.

"The United States held on to invisible chains that reined us in towards dependency and submission as little brown brothers not capable of true independence and freedom," Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay said in a statement distributed on Thursday by the Department of Foreign Affairs. "Breaking away from the shackling dependency of the Philippines to effectively address both internal and external security threats has become imperative in putting an end to our nation's subservience to United States' interests."

The US has remained the Philippines closest ally since it gained independence in 1946 and the two countries have several defense treaties. However in his three months since taking office, Duterte has frequently called into question the future of the alliance, including a recent comment that joint maritime drills that kicked off this week will be the last. He has indicated he is open to closer relations with China and willing to hold direct talks with Beijing about territorial disputes in the South China Sea.

Emergency UN Security Council meeting on Aleppo going nowhere - Russia vetoes French ceasefire resolution

UN security council
Russia's proposed United Nations Security Council resolution which called for Al-Nusra Front terrorists (al-Qaeda) to be evacuated from the city of Aleppo in order to advance peace failed with several Western countries refusing to support it.

On Saturday, Russia proposed an alternative United Nations Security Council resolution on the crisis in Syria's Aleppo that called for Al-Nusra Front terrorists to be evacuated from the city in order to allow peace and reconciliation efforts between the Syrian government and the so-called moderate rebels to advance, but that proposal died on the floor with the Western bloc of the UN refusing to support the proposal. The idea behind the proposal is based on observations by the United Nation's Envoy to Syria who viewed the removal of the notorious terrorist group that was formerly Syria's al-Qaeda affiliate as a positive step that should be taken and a potential precursor to bringing down the growing level of violence in the besieged city of Aleppo. The Russian proposal only received four votes in favor while nine countries voted against it and two countries abstained so a veto was not needed to stop the vote.

Nothing to hide: Russia intentionally exposed sending Iskander missile systems to Kaliningrad

Moscow made no secret of sending Iskander missile systems to Russia's Kaliningrad region as their moving within the country is a standard army practice, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Saturday.

Earlier in the day, media reports cited a source in the US intelligence saying that Russia was deploying Iskander-M mobile missile systems in Kaliningrad. "First of all, the people behind this hype need to know that Iskander ballistic missile system is mobile. As part of the plan of combat training, missile troops units are engaged in march training on a year-round basis, covering great distances of the Russian territory in various ways: by air, sea, and on its own power," Konashenkov said.

US never had the intention of honoring Syria ceasefire agreement

The current aggravation over the differences between the Russian and US stance on Syria comes as no surprise to Moscow. The US began planning to sabotage the ceasefire even while the ink on the agreement was still wet, Russian military expert Igor Korotchenko told Radio Sputnik.

American opponents to the ceasefire agreement between Russia and the US began planning to disrupt the hard won truce almost immediately after it was signed, Igor Korotchenko, a member of the Russian Defense Ministry's civic council and editor-in-chief at the Natsionalnaya Oborona ("National Defense") magazine told Radio Sputnik. "Right after the signing of the agreement, the Pentagon was the first to announce that it won't adhere to the articles of the agreement and won't provide the Russian military with any information," he said.

"It looked very strange taking into account that the power in the United States is concentrated in the hands of the president, in this particular case of Barack Obama," the expert noted. It is absolutely impossible to imagine that any American ministry, department or other institution would announce that it was not going to fulfill this or that intergovernmental agreement reached on behalf of the US president, said the military expert. However this is exactly what happened, Korotchenko said, and to the world looking on it is completely shocking.

Comment: Commitments are only as good as they are self-serving to the US.

Monsanto reports lower profits but acquires new CRISPR technology in shift away from current GMO Methods

Monsanto Company announced its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2016 earnings on Wednesday, with mixed results showing the company is under pressure.

The St. Louis-based seed and chemical company's net loss for the fourth quarter was $191 million, which is smaller than last year's fourth quarter loss of $495 million.

"Net income attributable to Monsanto for fiscal year 2016 was approximately $1.3 billion compared to net income of $2.3 billion attributable to Monsanto in fiscal year 2015," the company reported in a statement on its website.

Pressure on Monsanto continues as opposition to genetically modified organisms (GMO) has remained consistent, and Monsanto has been seeking alternative gene editing technologies to offset the negative perception of GMO crops. Wall Street analysts seemed pleased with the earnings report which beat the average estimates as the company has prepared investors for the ongoing issues related to pricing and other regional problems.

Comment: Read more about CRISPR and the myths of precise genome editing:
Perhaps no technology yet has been poised to change the world so profoundly. All life on Earth, every living organism, now stands the possibility of potentially being "edited" on the most basic genetic level, enhancing or degrading it, but forever changing it.

Thousands of Israelis call for Palestinian genocide

Israeli rally
© breakingdownthnews.blogspot.comThe Tel Aviv rally—organized to support an Israeli soldier who murdered a wounded Palestinian by shooting him in the head as the victim lay on his back—was marked by chants and banners calling for mass murder.
Massive rallies and Facebook campaigns calling for Palestinian genocide are ignored by Western mainstream media and Facebook despite concerns and collaborations aimed at stopping "calls to violence". Since last October, the Israeli government has accused Palestinians and their allies of "inciting violence" against Israelis, despite the fact that only 34 Israelis have died in that time frame compared to 230 Palestinians. The uptick in violence has been attributed to an internationally condemned Israeli encroachment of Palestinian lands in the contested West Bank.

Israeli government concern over recent violence has led them to arrest Palestinians for social media content that could potentially lead to crimes. So far, 145 Palestinians have been arrested this year for "pre-crime" via social media "incitement." This practice eventually led to a collaboration between Facebook and the Israeli government, whose joint effort to curb social media "incitement" has led to the banning of several Facebook accounts of Palestinian journalists and news agencies.

However, social media, as well as mainstream Western media, have failed to condemn Israeli "incitement" against Palestinians, a practice that is surprisingly common considering the little to no attention it receives. Often these anti-Palestinian posts, pictures, and rallies are rife with calls for genocide, with cries of "Death to the whole Arab nation" and "Kill them all" surprisingly common.


Comment: Looking at who owns the MSM and social media...are we surprised at the absence of reporting and accountability? Will the world public set aside its addiction and provide a show of conscience by boycotting both of these outlets in order to revise the message and effect a change?


Comment: Interesting that governments only listen to their people when they comply with spitting back spoon-fed active policy.

Duterte to US: 'Do not treat us like a doormat, you'll be sorry for it'

Plans for joint US-Philippines patrols and naval exercises in the disputed South China Sea have been put on hold, and 107 US troops operating drones surveilling Muslim militants will also have to leave the country soon, the Philippines Defense chief said. President Rodrigo Duterte said he wants an ongoing US-Philippine amphibious beach landing drill to be the last in his six-year presidency, with plans to halt all the 28 military exercises carried out with US forces every year.

"This year would be the last," Duterte pledged on Friday in Davao in the southern Philippines, AP reported. "For as long as I am there, do not treat us like a doormat because you'll be sorry for it," he added. "I will not speak with you. I can always go to China." Earlier this week, the outspoken Philippines leader said his US counterpart Barack Obama, whom he has previously publicly called a "son-of-a-b***h," should "go to hell."

US State Department spokesman John Kirby said Washington is unaware of any official notification on rolling back the joint military exercises. The US remains committed to its security cooperation with Manila, with which it has a 65-year-old mutual defense treaty, he said. "We think comments like this, whether they are or will be backed up by actual action or not, are really at odds with the closeness of the relationships that we have with the people of the Philippines and which we fully intend to continue," Kirby told reporters.


Comment: At least Duterte understands he has options, perhaps however, with consequences if going by standard US playbook. "No" is never the exceptionally "right" answer. Duterte is not pulling his punches. At the speech in Davao, he had this to say:
"You want to oust me? You want to use the CIA? Go ahead," Duterte said in a speech in his southern home town of Davao city, referring to the Central Intelligence Agency, while railing against US President Barack Obama and other critics.
...
Also on Friday he referred to a local newspaper columnist who warned a "People Power" movement could form to try and topple Duterte, using the term coined for the revolution that overthrew dictator Ferdinand Marcos in 1986. "Be my guest. I don't give a s**t," he said. "I'll be ousted? Fine. (If so) it's part of my destiny. Destiny carries so many things. If I die, that's part of my destiny. Presidents get assassinated."
...
On Friday, Duterte again promised there would be no let-up [in the war on drugs]. "The drug campaign will not end. It will result in so many deaths and I do not apologise for it," he said in Davao.
Philippines's Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay also had some words for the U.S.:
The United States held on to invisible chains that reined us in towards dependency and submission as little brown brothers not capable of true independence and freedom. Breaking away from the shackling dependency of the Philippines to effectively address both internal and external security threats has become imperative in putting an end to our nation's subservience to United States' interests.
