Hillary and Bill Clinton, Anthony Bourdain
An interview which took place just a few months before his tragic death, shows Anthony Bourdain was unafraid of calling out the establishment. The celebrity chef, TV personality, and staunch antiwar advocate sat down with Popula's Maria Bustillos for a hard hitting interview during which he blasted Bill Clinton as "Rapey," and noted how Hillary helped him get away with it.

During the interview, Bourdain was asked whether or not he thought Bill Clinton should have been removed from office after the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Bourdain said that despite Clinton being "A piece of sh*t," who was "Entitled, rapey, gropey, grabby, disgusting" should have still kept his job. This was despite "the way that he - and she [referring to Hillary Clinton] destroyed these women and the way that everyone went along" was "screaming in apparent hypocrisy and venality."

Bourdain went on to note how "When you're in the room, you think wow, she's [Clinton] really warm and nice and funny." However, Bourdain explained, "but the way they efficiently dismantled, destroyed, and shamelessly discredited these women for speaking their truth."

Bourdain noted that the sex Clinton had in office was "unforgivable," but was minor compared to every thing else and he noted that the sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky wasn't enough to get Clinton thrown out of office.

Police search for stolen nuclear material comes to a close

US authorities have been accused of hushing up an incident in which officials lost plutonium and cesium samples after their car was looted. Police have long-since given up on efforts to locate the nukes, a new report says.

The security experts from the Idaho laboratory were in Texas to take dangerous radioactive materials from a non-profit research lab in the area. For that purpose, they'd brought tiny disks containing plutonium and cesium with them, for calibration.

However, when the two had retired to their hotel rooms for the night, the car they left in the parking lot was raided. When they returned in the morning, their rented Ford Expedition's windows were shattered and the nuclear materials gone.

An immediate police investigation, assisted by the FBI, failed to produce any clues as to the whereabouts of the stolen radioactive materials. Police have not come up with any clear fingerprints on or inside the car, nor they were able to retrieve any usable surveillance footage. On top of that, law enforcement also failed to find any witnesses to the crime.

Comment: No tracers attached to the radioactive samples?

Israel's Denial of Entry policy - the real targets are Palestinians

Two weeks have passed now since I was standing in the Ben Gurion airport office of Israeli Border Control being told that I had been denied entry. Israeli Minister for Internal Security Gilad Erdan stated that I was barred due to my actions of the previous summer:
"Gold has distributed videos on social networks, in which she harasses IDF soldiers and Border Police officers in Hebron, accusing the soldiers of apartheid and oppression, and that their actions do not conform to Jewish values."
My denial of entry received an enormous amount of coverage in Israeli and American Jewish media. Though I am disappointed I was not able to get into the country, I am glad that what happened to me contributed in a strong and positive way to the conversations that are taking place right now in Israeli and diaspora Jewish communities around Palestinian rights and democracy. But, refusing to allow me into the country is only a small glimpse of Israel's border policies.

Since Israel's founding in 1948, predicated on the forced displacement of around 750,000 Palestinians, it has been an official policy of the state to deny re-entry to those who were expelled.

A human rights lawyer, who sent complaints to the UN against Lithuania for allowing the CIA to host secret prisons on its soil, is sure he will see the country's leadership indicted. He talks exclusively to RT.

In May of this year, Lithuania and Romania were found responsible for knowingly allowing the torture of prisoners at secret CIA facilities on their territories, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled.

The ECHR decision referred to the cases of Saudi-born Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, both of whom are currently held at the US Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba.

The two governments will have to pay €100,000 ($117,000) to each man, the court decided. Lithuania and Romania have three months to file an appeal, should they wish to contest the ruling.

Treasure hunters release photo of sunken Russian cruiser that may have huge amount of gold reserves aboard

The presumed wreck of the Dmitrii Donskoi
A South Korean firm made a splash on Tuesday after publishing, what it says, is a Russian Imperial Navy cruiser which was sunken during the Russo-Japanese War and may have had an entire flotilla's treasury on board.

The Dmitrii Donskoi was an armored cruiser in the Russian Imperial Navy's Baltic fleet which was deployed to the Pacific along with several other ships to fight in the 1904-05 Russo-Japanese War. It took part in the Battle of Tsushima, which was disastrous for Russia. It fled crippled and chased by Japanese warships and was eventually scuttled by its crew to avoid surrender off the coast of what is now South Korea's Ulleung Island, or Ulleungdo.

The cruiser is a coveted target for treasure hunters. According to some historical accounts, the Dmitrii Donskoi carried the treasury of the entire flotilla, meant to cover port expenses and pay the salaries of sailors and officers. Individual gold reserves of several other ships damaged in the battle may have been transported to the warship as well. Whoever manages to find the wreck site may become a very wealthy person.

Russiagate moron thinks Trump's tweets are being written by Russia

Donald Trump has long been accused of colluding with the Kremlin, but one authoritative Russiagate disciple has now suggested that even Trump's tweets are linked to Russia - exemplifying the sharp analysis that permeates Twitter.

According to Leah McElrath, a writer and activist who worked as a senior writer and director of social media for Shareblue Media, Trump's tweets ahead of his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki "definitely" weren't written by him because they contained fishy vocabulary like "retribution" and "sins and evils" - huge red flags.

After "going down a rabbit hole," McElrath returned to Twitter to declare that the "very feudal, Eurasian concept" of Trump's tweets could possibly be attributed to Aleksandr Dugin - a Russian philosopher and former professor at Moscow State University.

A British diver who was allegedly labelled a "pedo" by Elon Musk over his criticism of the billionaire's unexpected bid to rescue children stuck in a Thai cave using a tiny submarine, has threatened to sue.

Vernon Unsworth told 7 News Sydney that he's considering taking legal action after Elon Musk called him a "pedo guy" in a series of now-deleted tweets.

"Yes, it's not finished," Unsworth said. "I'm not going to make any further comment about him, but I think people realise what sort of guy he is."

Beijing has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) against planned US duties on $200 billion worth of Chinese products, China's Ministry of Commerce announced on Monday.

Last week, the ministry said it would immediately file a complaint to the WTO against what it called US unilateralism. In July, Beijing responded with mirror measures after Washington imposed 25 percent tariff on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods.

After China retaliated, the US Trade Representative proposed an additional $200 billion in tariffs. The first round of the US tariffs was introduced on July 6 after Washington accused China of hurting American companies by stealing or pressuring foreign enterprises to hand over technology.

The Novichok nerve agent which allegedly killed a woman and left her partner seriously ill in hospital came from a perfume bottle, according to the brother of a victim.

Charlie Rowley, 45, fell ill with girlfriend Dawn Sturgess in Amesbury, Wiltshire after allegedly being exposed to Novichok on June 30. Sturgess, 44, subsequently died on July 8. His brother Matthew claims Charlie told him that the source of the nerve agent was a perfume bottle which he had picked up, according to the BBC.

The incident happened near Salisbury - where former Russian double agent spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia were supposedly poisoned with a nerve agent, which British labs apparently identified as Novichok, in March.

Matthew, who made the visit to see his brother in hospital on Wednesday, said that he is "absolutely not the brother I know."

Russia has come under nearly 25 million cyber attacks targeting its critical information systems and infrastructure during the FIFA World Cup tournament, Vladimir Putin revealed.

"Throughout the duration of the World Cup, we neutralized almost 25 million cyber attacks and other criminal activities against the information infrastructure of Russia, which, in one way or another, were associated with the holding of the World Cup," the Russian president said.

Speaking at a meeting dedicated to the security of the World Cup, Putin thanked the representatives of 55 special services and law enforcement agencies from 34 countries which helped ensure security during the month-long tournament.

Comment: US elites wanna talk about cyber-attacks done by Russia to the US?

Alright then, let's investigate and see who does what cyber-attacking where!
