2 stories on rense.com center column near top both quite convincing with photos of what is stalking the Clingon.
Two way varied medical prognoses, so maybe to logically unite the 2 one could ask: ‘does chemo have a nasty side-effect in a small % of patients of depleting/destroying the body’s dopamine cells, which are concentrated in the substantia negra region?’

Other questions continue to swirl, including claims that one of Hillary’ “handlers,” who calmed her during the recent interruption of one of her speeches, carries around an auto-injector syringe for the administration of the anti-seizure drug Diazepam.

Unfortunately, the persistent coughing is a symptom of Oropharyngeal cancer.
Christian Times Newspaper interviewed a top oncologist, and he agrees that the former Secretary of State has shown many signs of this form of cancer, and the latest pictures of her tongue only add to the mystery.
Don’t forget her travel to Japan during the hot period of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster. Her mission upon demand by the nuclear apes: sell out the US population by allowing Japanese produce imports without (or very lax) testing for radioactive contamination. Result: foot that must not be sold in Japan is shipped to the US.
I overheard an interesting conversation at yesterday’s café. I came back today to join in, but it was closed. I am early today, and seem to be the first. The conversation I overheard was between Isabella, Helen, Grandma and one of the Uncle Bob’s. (Are there really two). I hope they come by again soon.
I have been having similar uneasy thoughts as Isabella. Wathcing the subtle clues, I am beginning to assess that H.C. will either get very close to being elected, or may actually be elected, BUT one or more of her crimes will be conveniently prosecuted, and she will be prevented from taking office. The cry of ‘anything but Trump’, will arise from the misled public, who will beg O. to ‘claim the throne’ i.e. “Yes you can have a third term”. I am not sure if this will be a rogue act on the part of O. or is actually the plan of the puppet masters. The so called ‘election’ is causing high anxiety in the US. The sheep are dazed and confused. Not recognizing the voice of the Good Shepherd, they will happily follow a brilliant magician (as Helen named him in her comment).
We are witnessing a battle for control of the world, and for the minds of the populace. This has had a long build-up, and seemingly reaching a ‘checkmate’ surprise move. The master player always pulls a move no one is expecting.

Well, K, I think that most USers are at least “uneasy” about what this supposed election campaign is being. Some are filled with fear and trepidation. I avoid fear by being old and poor — there’s just not much left for anyone to take away from me. That line from “Me and Bobby McGee” is quite true — freedom’s just another word for nuthin’ left to lose.” Well, I’m still pretty healthy, and I am not providing income for the BigHealthCare industry, so I may be on the Soylent Green human resources list — still, no reason to wallow in speculation.
Something weird is going to happen, because the narcissistic con man wouldn’t last a day in the White House. It seemed to me early om in the primary campaigh that Hillary was “not quite right,” but then she is “not quite right,” isn’t she? Hard to know about her health, so I just listen to the speculations from others. It’s amazing how many folks are guessing about what’s wrong with her, isn’t it? Well, she’s an evil psychopath, to start out with.
I look seriously, for some years now, at the VP candidates. But it is possible that neither of these candidates will make it to the supposed election. The whole thing reminds me of how the US “foreign policy” (and domestic, as well) has been (not) managed for the past 30 – 40 years. Somebody tried to write a believable script for the 2016 election, but it is so bizarre that even the poorly informed are rolling their eyeballs. I caught on when Sarah Palin was appointed to second for John McCain — that he was not the designated one. Trump is similarly nuts, but it could be that somebody miscalculated — Palin was too loved by the crazy Christian religionists to suit me, that’s for sure.
If both Trump and Clinton(s) are still there for the supposed election, the whole game of “swing states” should change. Certainly in my state, always red but with purple urban centers, could go for the Libertarian. How the voting machines are managed in such a state, which never requires “fixing,” is an interesting thing to think about. The 7 or 8 “swing states” are the ones where the Controllers’ agents work to ensure that the “votes” match the already-decided outcome.
Above is me Grandma. I goofed — brain glitch — and posted accidentally instead of doing something else. My point was to be that the voting machines in a relatively few states are already prepared for controlling those “swing states.” So, there very well could be a lot of scurrying going on around at warehouses where the machines are stored in the 42 or so “other states” — just in case. Or there will be if it looks like they will both survive the campaign. Seems Trump is whistling for a dog to dispose of “her” before then. We’ll see if any mentally challenged, lone-wolf hater takes him up on it.
From a person living in America….
The ‘sheep’ are ‘not’ confused. What you are seeing is an ‘election’ between the two most hated candidates in history to ever seek public approval. Trump is supported by a vocal minority, and most everyone else is distrustful at best towards him. Clinton has earned the hatred and mistrust of most of the American people with 4 decades of public dis-service and corruption.
The core of each campaign is the group of people who most hate the other candidate. But for the majority of the people who are not consumed with hatred, its just a bad choice between Yuck and Yuck.
Interestingly, and perhaps predictably in such a situation, both of the major ‘third party’ candidates are running at historically high levels. Former Gov Johnson running as the Libertarian candidate is at nearly 10%. And Dr. Stein who’s running as the Green candidate is already reaching the high-water mark of the Nader 2000 campaign. And considering that the 25% of the electorate that supported Bernie might move to her, then this certainly has a lot of room to grow. Of course, one of the bizarre features of the American version of ‘democracy’ is that voters have to form their coalitions BEFORE the election, so the most likely outcome is that the Greens and the Libertarians selfishly stick to their own separate efforts and fail to unify into a combined Opposition candidate.
In general, I’d imagine that the popular feeling in America right now is actually similar to that in the Soviet Union before its collapse. There is wide belief that the whole system is rotten to the core. The only people who’d disagree are the corrupt ones who make their living off the system. Yet, there is no feeling that any popular protest or organizing can change things. Protests have become nearly illegal, with cameras and facial recognition identifying and tracking the people who show up at these useless events. The recent DNC leaks have shown just how corrupt and rigged the political system is against those who don’t want the pro-war, pro-banker, pro-spying, pro-police positions of Hillary. As such, the smart money right now is on keeping one’s head down and trying not to be a target for an increasingly authoritarian state. But, what we saw with the collapse of the Soviet Union is that when people get a whiff of change and hope, when people think there is a chance that its almost safe or at least worth it to go out and join a protest, then millions and millions of them will then appear to state their opposition that is obviously rotten to the core.
There have been several brush-fires along through the years. And the very effort the authoritarian state makes to quickly stamp them out simply shows that they are scared to death that one might get out of control.
Does anyone have any facts on this ? are the ukrainian paramilitaries fighting each other ?

Ukrainian Pro-Govt Unit Caught on Video Raping Young Girls
Published 8 August 2016 (14 hours 14 minutes ago)
A Ukrainian lawmaker said Saturday that cell phones seized from commanders of an ultra-nationalist government unit, known as the Tornado battalion, serving in Eastern Ukraine against anti-government rebels, contain graphic images of child sexual abuse.
“When the Tornado commanders were detained, their mobile phones were seized. There was some scary footage on those phones … footage of sex orgies and rape,” Tetiana Chornovol told Ukrainian broadcaster 112.
“There were also rapes of underage girls,” she said, adding that “there were even babies. As I understand the baby’s mother was forced to do this under the threat of death of her child.”
Chornovol is a high-ranking member of the right-wing People’s Front Party of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. The People’s Front itself has ties to the Azov Battalion, which is widely accused of sympathizing with fascism and has been further accused of human rights violations.
Chornovol said the videos formed part of a case against pro-government fighters and commanders from the unit involved, which has since been disbanded.
Prosecutors announced the arrest of eight members from the same unit in mid-June. They are charged with looting, kidnapping and torture of local residents, even allegedly building a torture chamber.
According to the Kyiv Post, the unit was comprised in large part of former convicts.
The volunteer battalion was formed in 2014, and recognized by the interior ministry, and fought in eastern Ukraine in the ongoing conflict against the separatist Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
The Tornado battalion itself was born out of the remains of the fascist Shakhtarsk battalion, which was disbanded after its members were accused of human rights violations and looting.

Google Sparks Outrage by Abolishing Palestine on Maps
Published 8 August 2016 (12 hours 1 minutes ago)
Google’s decision to wipe Palestine from its map app and portray the occupied territories as Israel sparks online protest campaign.
Journalists and activists have excoriated Google for wiping Palestine completely off its map app, depicting the entire occupied Palestinian territories as part of the state of Israel.
The Palestinian Journalists’ Forum initiated an online campaign to pressure the internet giant to reconsider its stance. The organization accused Google of being “part of the Israeli scheme to establish its name as a legitimate state for generations to come and abolish Palestine once and for all.”
“The move is also designed to falsify history, and geography as well as the Palestinian people’s right to their homeland, and a failed attempt to tamper with the memory of Palestinians and Arabs as well as the world,” the statement continued.
I stopped using Google in about 2011 after reading an article in a newspaper (the same day I stopped reading newspapers). My recollection is that the company had just appointed a former US State Department official to some unit that was going to do something or other. The only thing about it I remember was the line ‘We are going to fix Iran.’
The other reasons I stopped reading newspapers that day were the lies about Syria and a feature article about Mongolia. The opening paragraph described the main square in Ulan Bator as being characterised by ‘Soviet vanity projects’. The thing is, I’ve been to that square. There is a Bolshoi theatre. Standard design. What struck me and the people I was with was an enormous steel and glass office tower at one end of the square. Built by a former president. Now that’s a vanity project.
I saw George Galloway’s film The Killings of Tony Blair last night. Well worth seeing.
The lead up to the Iraq war is being repeated with Russia. I feel greatly liberated not watching the Olympics. I think everyone should compete as individuals. Get the whole country thing out of it, which runs counter to so-called Olympic ideals. What a nasty games they’ve been so far. That gormless young Australian swimmer is apparently being praised for his ‘freedom of speech’. What nonsense but shows what happens when you stuff people’s heads full of hate. The poor lad probably has no time to find out about the world. A swimming career is a lonely one. I hope he grows up one day and redeems himself.

That would be indeed a MIST – shit.
First, they’ll pass a Sewer and Health Improvement Tax, promising that if the public agrees to their plan, then afterwards the $#!^ will no longer stink.
The Sewer and Health Improvement Tax will be promoted as being ‘fair’ as because its going to be implemented based on the volume and frequency of household excretions. There might be a ‘peak use’ surcharge.
Of course, to enforce the above, they’ll have to install the Sewer and Health Improvement Tax monitors on every toilet.

extensive interview with Erdogan by first Deputy Director of Tass-might be worth an analysis and certainly over next few days: eg inconsistencies? ??
eg
Q”As you may know some media outlets in and outside of Russia carried reports that Russia and its secret services had conveyed some sort of warning, that they had notified the special services that preparations for a government coup were underway. The question I want to ask you does this scenario conform to reality.
This is the first time that I have heard such a thing.” Erdo replies, and later states
‘All citizens of our country are guaranteed freedom of conscience, just as they are in Russia. ”
and
“We don’t want Syria’s disintegration, but the departure of Bashar Assad who is guilty for the deaths of 600,000 people”
and
“I will also need the support of my dear and respected friend, Vladimir [Russian President [Vladimir Putin] ”
and
Q
“And another issue, which seems to be painful, Mr. President, a burning issue for Turkey and a troublesome one for you, is the Kurdish question. That topic has existed for a long time and it has long been discussed in Turkish society, in addition to being discussed in the world. The issue of how to settle the Kurdish question.
A- I don’t know what you mean by the Kurdish issue. At present, our Kurdish citizens, my Kurdish brothers are not concentrated under the roof of one certain party. My citizens of Kurdish origin voted in the largest numbers for my party. There are ministers of Kurdish origin in the government.”
etc
‘All citizens of our country are guaranteed freedom of conscience…’
Unless of course their conscience leads them to listen to the traitor Gulen, or for them to have even the loosest connections to those that do listen to the traitor Gulen. Then, its the official policy of the party and the state that these people must lose their jobs and be branded as second-class citizens who can’t be trusted and we’ll do our best to destroy their lives.
See a few MSM headlines on the Olympics. Even the competitors have become part of the propaganda machine.

It seems most likely that the US has a state sponsored system of doping and defeating/bypassing testing.
Reading a lot of very good arguing comments back in the war-rooms went to sleep :
Sleepless
After fighting in the war-room, went to sleep in my bedroom
But the sleep has gone away, words came in leading the way
Funny words scorching my head, left me sleepless in my bed
After torturing my tiny brain and swallowing the pill for pain,
Fall in sleep as a good child, shortly after, sleep goes wild.
Being awake again in panic, cause I heard a known music
No, not the spanish Clavelito, just a flying, cruel mosquito
Singing closely from the near, in soprano, right to my ear.
She grew up in the distant mud, and comes for my blood
Slim mosquito got me crazy, catching her is not so easy…
As I switched on the light, slim mosquito changed her flight
Flying to the other corner, she get me up to search for her
Catching her is real challenge, climb on chair and balance
But that clever flying beast, laughs on me dancing twist.
I shall better use a pillow, against this mosquito widow.
And I saw her on the wall, waiting for my slapping call…
Throwing my pillow on target, very fast, like a rocket,
Hit mosquito in disgrace, leaving on the wall her trace.
Ever since, hearing Clavelito, I feel sorry for mosquito
Scaring world with Zika virus, got that victory at Pirus.
Oh mosquito, amore mio, you’ll have sunny days at Rio

Charlie Rose interviewing Michael Morell – ex CIA dep director, where Morell states that the US should be killing Russians and Iranians covertly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ivt2NmbyGg
He also managed the staff that produced the Presidential Daily Briefings for President George W. Bush. Morell was Bush’s briefer during the September 11, 2001, attacks, and has been quoted as saying, “I would bet every dollar I have that it’s al Qaeda.” Later, Morell was a trusted asset to President Barack Obama in the Osama bin Laden raid on May 2, 2011.[1][2] Before his 2010 nomination as deputy director, he served as director for intelligence, a position he had held since 2008. He served as the CIA’s first associate deputy director from 2006 to 2008.

Someone in Canada today (Aug. 9, 2016) is collecting a paycheck for writing an article for one of Canada’s national newspapers, asking if this preoccupation with topless photos of our PM is just due to the slow news cycle in August.
Like there’s just a shortage of Canadian national news to report on.
I’m speechless. See for yourself.
http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/news/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/jen-gerson-hot-take-on-a-shirtless-trudeau-or-why-we-seem-to-be-obsessed-with-our-leaders-midriff&pubdate=2016-08-09
By the way, our leader is in hiding, oh wait — I mean vacation! At an unknown location in BC with his family. Just a little vay-kay. Nothing to see here. Except the occasional gratuitous photo of his pecs. :-)
I wish that the press cared as much about the thousands of missing and murdered native women as it does the pretty boy PM’s chest muscles.
Is it possible that your PM’s hiding/vacation strip-tease was delivered in a troop entertainment program at the new Canadian barracks in Eastern Ukraine? According to Sorcha Faal at whatdoesitmean.com/index2085.htm, one of the reasons for sending the Russian Doomsday planes up again is
“… the sudden deployment this week to Ukraine of troops from the 3rd Canadian Division’s 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group whose specialty is operating in war zones compromised by nuclear and/or chemical weapons.
As to why the Obama regime ordered these specialized Canadian troops into the non-NATO country of Ukraine … is not fully known, but is considered … as a terrifying “war move” …”
Obviously this is nothing to report on namely in Canada…
Here is the link which claims to quote from the Russian MOD report (no link to the actual report):
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index2085.htm
Today, the new commander of the arriving Canadian troops was announced: Lt-Colonel Wayne Niven
http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?mthd=index&crtr.page=1&nid=1109239
I tried to find a bio but didn’t. He was if Afghanistan and Bosnia. This new 200 troops does follow last year’s schedule of replacements: first arrived in Aug/Sept, relieved in Jan, now relieved again in Aug. So that isn’t out of the ordinary, really.

Canadian Armed Forces also recently (Aug. 5) replaced the Vice Chief of Defence Staff, and the head of the Canadian Army (July 15). These events could also explain the change of staff in Ukraine?

http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?mthd=index&crtr.page=1&nid=1098639
The Canadian Forces’ focus in Ukraine will be on “tactical soldier training,” which, according to the Canadian Forces website, includes individual weapons training, marksmanship, moving, communication, survival and ethics training.
“Our Canadian values are part of what makes us good at what we do,” Fletcher said. “That respect for law, respect for rule of law, the anti-corruption, the ability to trust, those are things that are very, very valuable when it comes to the nitty-gritty, dirty face of warfare.”
Well my friends, the reason I brought SF’s info here /forgetting my bp/ was my impression that they wanted to say, WE, the West, gonna nuke them, and Canada is eager to help cleaning up what will remain – thus no biz as usual. Any ideas about that?
Cheers

After an all out nuclear war who will clean up Canada ?
Hi bp,
I have no ideas. :-) Apologies for my defensive response. While I was trying to discover in recent days what Canada is up to in the Ukraine, I unintentionally discovered that many of the Canadian Armed Forces personnel seem very decent – and very disempowered politically (it reminded me of some situations with Canada’s First Nations – very decent people, abysmal access to political power.)
I thought that maybe someone is trying to portray a routine change of Canada’s staff, as something else. Why? Lots happening here, including a recent terror plot exposed. I expected this, since I find it hard to believe that our PM and his family are staying in a remote, sparsely-populated part of Vancouver Island for the whale-watching and festivals (although these are great too,!!) What next??
bp, one add’l comment. So a couple staff changes in the Canadian Armed Forces lately led me to wonder if Canada is trying to remove the Washington war machine from its military (Beltway: you’re fired! :-)
Then, FM Dion visited NORAD (which is home to NORTHCOM, which apparently changed Canada into U.S. North, by order of the neocons. News to me!!) First visit of a FM to NORAD. Diplomatic incident, perhaps??
Now, today, new Canadian ambassadors or representatives were announced for Sweden, Philippines, Kenya, Myanmar, Indonesia, Palestinian Authority, and Nigeria. More of Beltway: you’re fired???
Again, I find it hard to believe that this Canadian govt would be so gutsy without protection. Yes, I mean Russia. How else would Canada politely tell the Washington neocons that while the past decade as U.S. North has been memorable, we are going to return to being just Canada, and handle our own military and diplomatic affairs. No hard feelings. See you at the G20.
Quick addendum: on July 19th the following 24 diplomatic changes were announced. Just to add more potential evidence to the Cdn govt’s possible desire to get out of the Neocon ‘Hybrid War on All Things Nation-State’. (Officially, its for better gender diversity.)

Paradigm Shift: Europe’s Infatuation for US Democrats Comes to an End
http://sputniknews.com/politics/20160809/1044094624/usa-clinton-trump-europe-paradigm-shift.html
“As for the United States leadership, the Europeans’ sympathies normally rest with Democratic presidential candidates who are traditionally regarded as more peaceful and reliable than their Republican counterparts. In the upcoming election, however, there are things that may tip the scale in favor of the Republicans.
In Sweden, like its other EU peers, the mainstream media keep touting Hillary Clinton as the preferred candidate, through incessantly painting her Republican rival Donald Trump as an “oddball” and “madcap.” Swedish newspaper Skånska Dagbladet obviously went against the flow as it took a stand against the aspiring Democratic president. According to Skånska Dagbladet’s editor-in-chief Lars Eriksson, Hillary Clinton makes Nixon look like Mahatma Gandhi.
By his own admission, Eriksson himself normally would support the Democratic Party, as its presidential candidates used to be more concerned about the welfare system and were less belligerent. Fittingly, many pinned their hopes on Barack Obama as a “peace president,” but the situation only grew worse in comparison to the Bush years.
“During four of Obama’s years in office, the United States had a disagreeably warmongering state secretary in the person of Hillary Clinton, who shares a huge joint responsibility for the continuing chaos in Iraq, the disintegration of Libya, the civil war in Syria and the refugee disaster that followed. To top it all, today there is overwhelming evidence of how the US contributed to the emergence of Daesh,” Eriksson wrote.”
Note the majority of media in sweden promoting clinton. This shows that swedish media is as zionazi contaminated as that of the usa and is a further indication of the zionazi obsession with promoting this obscene war criminal.

– PM Trudeau away from Ottawa, at remote location (poss. East side of Vancouver Island)
– National Defence Minister Sajjan in Africa, gathering information for potential peacekeeping missions
– Foreign Affairs Minister Dion, who met with FM Lavrov recently for the first time, also visited NORAD yesterday. For the first time. The first time for any FM, apparently.
What’s happening with NORAD?
Dr. Michel Chossudovsky gave me an education with this article from 2007:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/canada-s-sovereignty-in-jeopardy-the-militarization-of-north-america/6572?print=1
“Following the creation of US Northern Command in 2002, Washington unilaterally announced that NORTHCOM’s terratorial jurisdiction (land, sea, air) extended from the Caribbean basin to the Canadian Arctic territories.”
… What, I mean, pardon, I mean…wtf?
“Donald Rumsfeld boasted that ” the NORTHCOM – with all of North America asits geographic command – is ‘part of the greatest transformation of the Unified Command Plan (UCP) since it’s inception in 1947.'”
…
And also, just a reminder, Colonel Brian Derry, Deputy Command Centre Director for NORAD and U.S. Northern Command, died after a brief illness on May 30, 2016. That might of come up in Dion’s visit too.

A group of South Korean opposition lawmakers defied President Park Geun-Hye and left for China on Monday to discuss the deployment of a US anti-missile system that has opened a damaging rift between Seoul and Beijing.
Park had urged the MPs to scrap their trip, arguing that it would boost China’s opposition to the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and deepen divisions in South Korea over the issue.
Geopolitical analyst Finian Cunningham has brilliantly nailed Hillary Clinton as an “Exemplar of Neo-Fascism.”

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on US Foreign Policy
What Trump says about American Foreign Policy (Foreign Policy Speech, April 27, 2016):
“Unfortunately, after the Cold War our foreign policy veered badly off course…. Logic was replaced with foolishness and arrogance, which led to one foreign policy disaster after another.
“We went from mistakes in Iraq to Egypt to Libya, to President Obama’s line in the sand in Syria. Each of these actions have helped to throw the region into chaos and gave ISIS the space it needs to grow and prosper…. It all began with a dangerous idea that we could make western democracies out of countries that had no experience or interests in becoming a western democracy. We tore up what institutions they had and then were surprised at what we unleashed. Civil war, religious fanaticism, thousands of Americans just killed [and] lives, lives, lives wasted…. The vacuum was created that ISIS would fill.
“[T]he legacy of the Obama-Clinton interventions will be weakness, confusion and disarray, a mess. We’ve made the Middle East more unstable and chaotic than ever before. We left Christians subject to intense persecution and even genocide…. Our actions in Iraq, Libya and Syria have helped unleash ISIS, and we’re in a war against radical Islam, but President Obama won’t even name the enemy, and unless you name the enemy, you will never ever solve the problem.
“After Secretary Clinton’s failed intervention in Libya, Islamic terrorists in Benghazi took down our consulate and killed our ambassador and three brave Americans. Then, instead of taking charge that night, Hillary Clinton decided to go home and sleep…. Clinton blames it all on a video, an excuse that was … proven to be absolutely a total lie. Our ambassador was murdered and our secretary of state misled the nation.
“We desire to live peacefully and in friendship with Russia and China.”

What Putin says about American Foreign Policy (Address to eighth meeting of Russian Federation ambassadors June 30, 2016):
“I therefore say again that cooperation, a common will, and willingness to seek compromises are the key to resolving the greatest and most complex problems, no matter where in the world they arise.
“However, we see how some of our partners continue stubborn attempts to retain their monopoly on geopolitical domination. They put to use centuries of experience in suppressing, weakening, and setting opponents against each other, and turn to their advantage enhanced political, economic, financial and now information levers as well.
“By this, I mean, for example, the practice of intervening in other countries’ internal affairs, provoking regional conflicts, exporting so-called ‘colour revolutions’ and so on. In pursuing this policy, they sometimes take on as accomplices terrorists, fundamentalists, ultra-right nationalists, and even outright neo-fascists. […]
“The military intervention in Iraq and Libya are the most vivid examples of this irresponsible and mistaken policy that has led to a rise in terrorism and extremism. It is clear to everyone today that this policy has contributed to the emergence of menacing organisations such as the Islamic State (DAISH). Terrorists have tried to turn to their advantage, and not without success, the breakdown in state systems and the results of, frankly speaking, clumsy experiments in exporting democracy to parts of the Middle East and North Africa. Every man and his dog talks about this now. It would be funny if it were not so sad, and if it were not the cause of so many tragedies.”
Donald Trump is under continuous attack by the MSM media all over the world and this will increase with the approaching of November 4. In the same way as Putin is demonized by the same media. Question : who owns the media ? once you know, you know who is doing this campaign.
Security Firm Uncovers ‘Strange’ Malware in Russian, Iranian Govt Computers
http://sputniknews.com/science/20160810/1044111610/project-sauron-malware.html
“Kaspersky Lab, a malware code known as “Project Sauron” has been operating undetected since 2011.
“In September 2015, Kaspersky Lab’s Anti-Targeted Attack Platform discovered anomalous network traffic in a government organization network,” reads a report published by the software company on Monday.
“Analysis of this incident led to the discovery of a strange executable program library loaded into the memory of the domain controller server…Additional research revealed signs of a previously unknown threat actor, responsible for large-scale attacks against key governmental entities.”
The malware has been discovered on at least 30 targets and has been active for some five years. Given that it went this long without detection, the software firm suspects a state-sponsored group is behind the release.
“The attackers clearly understand that we as researchers are always looking for patterns. Remove the patterns and the operations will be harder to discover,” the report reads.
“We are aware of more than 30 organizations attacked, but we are sure that this is just a tiny tip of the iceberg.”
Detailing the exact number of infected servers could prove difficult. While most malware reuses certain parts of code, Project Sauron appears to customize itself for each target. Uncovering it in one server does little to help track it down in others.
Even stranger, Project Sauron can infect computers that are not connected to the internet.
“To achieve this, removable USB devices are used. Once networked systems are compromised, the attackers wait for a USB drive to be attached to the infected machine,” the report says.
“These USBs are specially formatted to reduce the size of the partition on the USB disk, reserving an amount of hidden data (several hundred megabytes) at the end of the disk for malicious purposes.”
The malware’s primary goal appears to be to obtain passwords, IP addresses, cryptographic keys, and configuration files. While researchers have not revealed which government agencies were infected, Kaspersky Lab did confirm it infected servers in Russia, Iran, and Rwanda.
Researchers also said they could not confirm which nation may have been behind the virus.”
My money is on israel being primarily behind this virus.
The us military has a pudgy pindo problem (or a pp problem, in shorthand).
As Obesity Trends Up, Pentagon Rethinks Basic Fitness Standards
http://sputniknews.com/us/20160810/1044112383/military-redefining-fitness-standards-obesity.html
“Currently, the military requires troops to maintain fat levels below 26 percent for men and 36 percent for women. The standards are currently shrinking the pool of potential recruits, as recent studies have confirmed that 75 percent of young Americans are ineligible for service because of their weight.”
Faced with the fact that the sort of lowlife who sell their soul to join the us military tend to be fat slobs, the us military realised they had a choice. Trim down their recruit requirements to match the lessening number of fit suckers applying, or become a fat bloated military of fat slobs.
BTW, isn’t the lower allowed amount of body fat for men than for women an example of gender descrimination? Shouldn’t equality demand that both women and men have the same requirement? I this sort of double standards what the american golden age of feminism has brought?
LOL. This article is hilarious.
Perhaps, the US military should simply let all the fatties in.
There would be little need for Kevlar body armor anymore, given all the extra pudginess that all their soldiers are carrying around.
The United States is a nation of morbidly obese drones in more ways than one .
Sky News claims that many Russian mercenaries are fighting in Syria and that some 500 have died.
http://news.sky.com/story/revealed-russias-secret-syria-mercenaries-10529248
These individuals told Sky News that they were recruited by a highly secretive private military company called ‘Wagner’ and flown to Syria aboard Russian military transport planes. For the equivalent of £3,000 a month, they say they were thrown into pitch battles and firefights with rebel factions – including Islamic State.
Two of the group, Alexander and Dmitry, told Sky News they felt lucky to be alive. “It’s 50-50,” said Alexander (not his real name). “Most people who go there for the money end up dead. Those who fight for ideals, to fight against the Americans, American special-forces, some ideology – they have a better chance of survival.” “Approximately 500 to 600 people have died there,” claimed Dmitry. “No one will ever find out about them…. that’s the scariest thing. No one will ever know.”
A former special forces soldier, he is known to his men as Nikolai Utkin. The only known picture of Mr Utkin was published earlier this year by St Petersburg-based newspaper ‘Fontanka’. The paper described him as an aficionado of the aesthetics and ideology of the Nazi German Third Reich. His nom-de-guerre – Wagner – is thought to be a tribute to Hitler’s favourite composer. The company has recruited hundreds of men online, by posting temporary advertisements in military-themed chat rooms on one popular Russian website.
Molkino is a small village in southern Russia that is home to a Ministry of Defence special forces base. Part of the base has been handed over to Wagner for the selection and training of recruits.
Alexander, who has conducted a number of missions to Syria, said he was aware of men of all abilities being accepted for training – even those who had never fired a gun.
He said the training – which generally lasts from one to two months – was intense.
He added: “If the person hasn’t been the army, he is trained from level zero. They’re taught to be infantrymen – the usual cannon fodder. If the person has served in the artillery, reconnaissance, assault brigades – his skills are polished…. they teach you how to drive and use absolutely all the equipment they have.”
The Wagner fighters accused their commanders of sending them on ‘suicide missions’ designed to ‘soften-up’ the opposition before Syrian Army troops were sent in.
Alexander recounted the battle for the city of Palmyra, conducted earlier this year.
He said: “During the storming of Palmyra, we were used as cannon fodder. You could say that. Reconnaissance went forward first so they could observe and report. I knew three in that group – two died before they got to the city. From my assault company, 18 died. After us, those chickens from Assad’s army followed and finished the job but we did most of the work.”
He is back in Moscow now but says the experience still stalks him. When he signed on with Wagner, Dmitry handed over his personal identification papers – an essential part of life in Russia. Upon his return, he went back to the training base to retrieve his documents but found himself arrested by police. An officer told him, unequivocally, that Wagner “does not exist”.
Dmitry told Sky News that there are 50 other men – Wagner survivors – now walking the streets of Moscow, traumatised and without papers.
Pathetic bit of zionazi propaganda there, wim.
Few people will weep for mercenaries on either side.
Wikileaks offers $20k reward over dead DNC staffer, but won’t confirm he leaked emails
https://www.rt.com/usa/355361-murdered-dnc-staffer-assange/
“The whistleblowing organization Wikileaks wants to catch those responsible for the murder of Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich and are now offering a $20,000 reward for information.
The group’s co-founder Julian Assange suggested on Dutch television that if Rich is the source of the 20,000 emails exposing the party’s sabotage of the Bernie Sanders campaign in favor of Hillary Clinton, he may have been killed over it.
Rich worked as voter expansion data director at the DNC before he was shot twice on his way home on July 10. He died later in hospital.
“If it was a robbery — it failed because he still has his watch, he still has his money — he still has his credit cards, still had his phone so it was a wasted effort except we lost a life,” his father Joel Rich told local TV station KMTV.
Assange made his comments on Dutch television show Nieuwsuur. When asked why he was commenting on Rich’s murder, he said, “Because we have to understand how high the stakes are in the United States.”
Wikileaks offers a secure upload submission option in which no identifying data about a source is recorded, according to the whistleblowing website.
Under these circumstances, Assange and Wikileaks staff would not know who sent them the DNC emails.
Wikileaks also claimed on Tuesday that Ecuador were being pressured to end Assange’s asylum in their London embassy over fears the leak could damage the country’s reputation with the US.”
Those zionazis want their clinton harpy in the white house badly and will probably do anything to get the freak there.

Strife and Reconcilliation Between Earth and Heaven
http://astromundanediary.blogspot.de/2016/08/8_8.html
mundanomaniac
What does this mean “strife and reconciliation” between Heaven and Earth ? Maybe the Heaven has decided that the things are going in the right direction on Earth ? Everything is just fine, just go forward through this path ? or maybe : ” we let you have a break for a week” ? if the latter is the case, then the Heavenly beans have a funny sense of humor. Of course, what they see, we cannot.
Everything can be explained…
May I say heaven doesn’t decide but signifies the trend in which it is possible to act in accordance with heaven? As Sagittarius signifies the brigtness which allowes every part to receive its parcel and Saturn and Mars are “ruled” by Sagittarius, so are Pluto, ruled by Saturn and Uranus ruled by Mars.
So I would tend to your first Idea. And Cancer, the female part of us, family- and nation-centered,has to mirror its ends and beginnings.
Neptune: Psyops in Pisces
Saturn: tune in to time out
Venus: Victims in Virgo
Crimea world’s historic war ground
awaits, again, military movement
How much blood must be spent

Very very important story to watch:
https://www.rt.com/news/355419-putin-crimea-terrorism-kiev/
That Putin is commenting on it shows that he understands its importance. Everything that happens in these forays is reported back to CIA-State Dept cabal headquarters in Kiev so that techniques can be fine tuned. The Ukies are being used for intel/tactical strategy development.
It is good to think outside the box on this… My dead Croatian friend said that he knew something was up a year before all H-ll broke loose because he would see armed men ( in pairs) silently walking through the surrounding area going somewhere very quietly. He tried to get his village to at least stock pile weapons to no avail.
Cell phones work wonders–I’ve got the Neighborhood Watch in my community to use them to document suspicious behavior, vehicles, people passing through ( it is private property) by taking photos. Then, we send the photos to the head of the Watch with a text message with our report. She gets the big picture and then can interact effectively with the management of the Park or the police.
So far, situations that could have escalated just do not because we make quiet inquiries, expressions of support or written incident reports to management. We Nip trouble in the bud but in a very subtle non threatening way.
Then we have different people taking different hours for surveillance because night time is a different scene than daytime. It’s funny but the Russian management figured out very quickly that somehow I had something to do with it and sent someone to inquire indirectly how troublesome my intentions were. So I indirectly communicated that this was for mutual security only–not to organize to question their yearly rent increases.
RT may be under attack. I can’t seem to access it. No problem with other sites,except RT. I was able to link to a few separate stories through links I found on other sites. But accessing the actual site itself isn’t working. Could be nothing,or another part of the information war.Time will tell on that.
It would be much safer if you’ll buy a dish and watch RT on your TV. If you require information on this (how) I can give you some details.
RT.com cannot be reached by my normal Internet connection. Elsewhere everything works fine. I reported the blockade to my Internet provider and demanded to cease any breach of service contract immediately and for good. Will see tomorrow, if I need to up the ante.
Buy a satellite dish with a MPEG 4 decoder and directed it to Astra 19 E. There you will find RT.
Thanks. I could if I would like to receive the RT as TV program. But why should I pay my Internet service provider any fee for blocked web sites, where I often read the news? As a matter of principle, I am going to court if that issue persists.
Seems that RT is under DDoS attack in Europe since at least 6am on August 11, 2016, and continuing. Given the timing and regions of take down attempts, I could be NATO-sponsored cyber warfare at work. If RT were to adopt the US cyber war policy, it would bomb the perpetrators in response.
It may be no coincidence that reports of the repeated attacks on Crimea by Ukrainian terrorists, if not to say soldiers, and the Russian government’s replies were to be shrugged under the rub for European readers. However, other sites frequently visited by Europeans are online and reporting as well. Hence, it is rather an attempt to increase RT’s cost of broadcasting.

The upgraded combat features on board the flagship of the South China Sea fleet impress Western defense analysts, as Beijing threatens to aggressively defend the disputed territories.
China has completed a major weapons upgrade for their Shenzen destroyer, which will return to operations with the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s (PLAN) fleet in the South China Sea amid brewing tensions over the disputed territory, IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly reported.

China General Nuclear Power, and engineer Allen Ho, allegedly conspired to develop nuclear material without US approval
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/aug/11/nuclear-espionage-charge-for-china-firm-with-one-third-stake-in-hinkley-point
The Chinese company with a major stake in the proposed Hinkley Point C nuclear power station has been charged by the US government over nuclear espionage, according to the US justice department.
In a 17-page indictment, the US government said nuclear engineer Allen Ho, employed by the China General Nuclear Power Company, and the company itself had unlawfully conspired to develop nuclear material in China without US approval and “with the intent to secure an advantage to the People’s Republic of China”.
Interesting post by kafkanada at syrianperspective
“…at some point Erdogan must have figured out that being a Western stooge was ultimately going to be a dead end street. And I do mean dead. He was watching for what has often happened in Turkey. He had his lists, but wasn’t in a strong enough position to solidify his power, although it had been clear for a while what his intentions were. Meanwhile, the Pentagon/CIA masters were freaking and realized they had to rein him in, thus the coup attempt. But it was rushed and not fully planned out. Maybe Obama subtly didn’t support it fully. It failed. Then we entered a strange period, we are still in it, where neither the warmasters, nor Erdogan, nor Putin will speak about the new dynamic. Erdogan surrounded Incirlik, cut off power for a week, and hinted that the US had a hand in the coup, via the well known CIA stooge Gulen, but we said squat. Why? Because to admit to the new dynamic would be seen as a giant setback to the hegemon’s Big Plan. Think of the talk of “Who lost Turkey?” It would be on a par with the “Who lost China?” question of 60 years ago…”
Long before the East-West clashing legal teams assemble for this one, the matter will be settled. The Crimean incidents are a diversion–Donbass is the main target and ,it appears, Lugansk.

A young Canadian man was shot dead by police in an anti-terrorist intervention. The young man (white) has been supposedly ISIS supporter, wanting to go to Syria. It it said that some 1200 westerners have went to fight for ISIS in Syria this year. Question : do they know that they will fight against Russia there ? Their governments are also against Russia (all NATO countries) … who can understand this if you understand what I mean ? the chaos is here, or something very dark.
You’re right, ioan, who can understand this? It leaves me feeling helpless sometimes, because the darkness seems capable of taking everything. These young Western recruits must haveno idea what it means to be going into battle against Russia. They should watch more of South front and the Russian MOD videos!!
Ah, do I need a coffee today! Make mine a double.
Why must the NWO billionaires, the old Cold Warriors (credit to Marcel Woland), the neo-fascists, the neo-Nazis and the rest of the gang, cause so many disturbances/provocations/destruction?? Today I lack patience for their 50 shades of anti-socialism.
Time to think of someone who never seems to lack patience. Just wanted to take a moment to recognise Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, who seems to never tire of patiently guiding the brainwashed and deluded masses to moments of truth. As a member of those masses, I have benefitted tremendously from his efforts. He may not be flawless, but his commitment and patience to his cause is admirable. Thank you, Prof. Chossudovsky, for helping me become a little less deluded. :-)
