October Surprise: FBI Reveals Smoking Gun That Implicates Obama in Clinton Email Scandal...

from Russia Insider:
Let’s time travel back to March 2015, when CBS reported: “President Obama only learned of Hillary Clinton’s private email address use for official State Department business after a New York Times report.”

New York Times Begs Apathetic Democrats: Please Vote for Hillary Clinton

from Breitbart:
The New York Times editorial board officially endorsed Hillary Clinton on Saturday, in an op-ed that explicitly states its intent to fire up left-wing voters who are indifferent to the Democratic nominee.
From the New York Times:
In any normal election year, we’d compare the two presidential candidates side by side on the issues. But this is not a normal election year. A comparison like that would be an empty exercise in a race where one candidate — our choice, Hillary Clinton — has a record of service and a raft of pragmatic ideas, and the other, Donald Trump, discloses nothing concrete about himself or his plans while promising the moon and offering the stars on layaway. (We will explain in a subsequent editorial why we believe Mr. Trump to be the worst nominee put forward by a major party in modern American history.)

What Do We Know?

"These linear thinkers can’t understand why their playbook of lies, misinformation, pointless social justice issues and a myriad of other inane distractions aren’t working this time. They fail to acknowledge that history is cyclical and we’ve entered the phase when generational cohorts are aligned for dramatic sweeping change. The data is there for all to see, but those benefiting from the current perverted paradigm will not be swept aside without a bloody fight."

What If We’re in a Depression But Don’t Know It?

by Charles Hugh Smith, Of Two Minds:
If it isn’t a Depression, it’s a very close relative of a Depression.
Just for the sake of argument, let’s ask: what if we’re in a Depression but don’t know it? How could we possibly be in a Depression and not know it, you ask? Well, there are several ways we could be in a Depression and not know it:
1. The official statistics for “growth” (GDP), inflation, unemployment, and household income/ wealth have been engineered to mask the reality
