DNC Insider: Clinton Being Pounded in Polls – Don’t Believe Mainstream Media!

by Tim Brown, Freedom OutPost:
To say that Barack Obama is an ideologue isn’t going to make national news at this point, that much is a given. Anyone with a pulse and an IQ over 6 has known that since before Obama took office in 2008, and even most liberals not registering any brain activity would have admitted as much once Obama secured his re-election in the 2012 election. It’s also not major news to say that Obama and his administration have been the most corrupt administration in recent memory, or that they subscribe to the philosophy of, “The ends justify the means,” the Constitution be damned…

"Is Robot Hillary Melting Down?" - Trump Video Mocks Clinton As A Short-Circuiting Robot

The Warren Buffett Economy: How Central-Bank-Enabled Financialization Divided America

Needless to say, the above outlandish graph does not capture capitalism at work. Nor did the speculators who surfed upon this $45 trillion bubble harvest their monumental windfalls owing to investment genius. Instead, it is the perverted fruit of Bubble Finance, and there is no better illustration of this bubble surfer syndrome than the sainted Warren Buffett.

Trump Was Right? Obama Admits US Must Partner With Russia To Beat ISIS

Well this is a little awkward. Following John Kerry's "seeking cooperation" apology tour to Moscow, President Obama appears to be following the path that Donald Trump has suggested as Military.com reports, Obama said Thursday at the Pentagon that The United States must try to broker a deal with Russia to coordinate military operations in Syria and drive the Islamic State group out of that country. Perhaps he had not checked with Hillary on Putin's apparent level of 'Hitler-iness' or perhaps, just perhaps, Trump was right in suggesting diplomatic efforts before bombast, and warmongery?

Our judicial system has a time-tested option for those who can’t pay their debts: bankruptcy. Individuals and businesses use it all the time. It’s messy, but it usually works for the best. Current law doesn’t let states go bankrupt... yet!

Why Oil Under $40 Will Bring It All Down Again: That's Where SWFs Resume Liquidating

If oil were to drop back under $40, not only would it precipitate even more selling of oil as momentum strategies flip, but it would catalyze a liquidation by those SWFs who thought they were done selling equities, leading to a return of the same sellers that pushed the S&P back to the low 1,900s a short 6 months ago. So for all those curious where stocks are going next, the simple answer is: keep an eye on what oil does next.

The First "Bitcoin Bail-In": All Bitfinex Users To Lose 36% In "Shared Loss" After Historic Hack

Iran Executes Nuclear Scientist For Spying For The U.S.

Working as a nuclear scientist in Iran may just be the most stressful job in the world. One persistent risk is that some variation of the Stuxnet virus will cripple your infrastructure and lead to an uncontrolled nuclear explosion, courtesy of Israeli or US intelligence. A second risk is being blown up (allegedly by the CIA) while driving your car. A third is simply being exectured by your employer. That's what happened to Iranian scientist Shahram Amiri, who was executed over the weekend after a court convicted him of spying for Washington.

About That Upcoming "Fiscal Stimulus" - It Is Already Running Full Blast

Sandy Hook Elementary Slated For Grand Reopening – Critics Decry Event

by James Tracy, The Sleuth Journal:
On July 27 the Hartford Courant announced that “[t]he new Sandy Hook Elementary School will be opened to media and Newtown residents … nearly four years after the mass shooting at the school.” The lavish facility is scheduled to begin operations August 29.
The announcement came just as the Democratic National Convention was kicking in to “high gear” with Sandy Hook front and center to promote the Democratic Party’s promotion of heightened police state and gun control measures.
“The 86,800-square-foot school will house students in prekindergarten to fourth grade,” the Courant continues, “and the $50 million cost was covered by the state.”

Australia Senator Malcolm Roberts Calls Climate Change a UN Conspiracy

by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
The world is rebelling against the pseudo-science of climate change. Despite the fact that the academic proponents have been caught faking data, colleges are universally forcing this fiction down the throats of their students and the public as a whole with fake data, and contrived samples that are not randomized.
In Australia, one brave politician is speaking up.
5 August 2016 | From the BBC
One of Australia’s new senators has said climate change is a global conspiracy created by bankers seeking to establish a worldwide government.

Another Phony Jobs Report — Paul Craig Roberts

by Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Craig Roberts:
As John Williams has made clear, the monthly payroll jobs number consists mainly of an add-on factor of 200,000 jobs. These jobs are a product of the assumption in the Birth-Death Model that new business ventures create more unreported new jobs than the unreported job losses from business failures. If we sustract out this made-up number, July saw a gain of 55,000 jobs, not enough to keep up with population growth. Even the 55,000 figure is overstated according to John Williams’ report: “The gimmicked, headline payroll gain of 255,000 more realistically should have come in below zero, net of built-in upside biases.”
In other words, the 255,000 jobs are the product of a virtual reality created by a faulty model and manipulations of seasonal adjustments. Williams says the real rate of unemployment is not the claimed 4.9% figure but 23%.
