Obama and the Clinton Machine to collapse economy 112116

The Final Blow

The morning of November 9th 2016 was a sobering moment for many who saw the Trump Candidacy as an irritant while preparing Hillary Rodham Clinton for her ascension to the holy grail of Power.

A year ago, few saw the Trump campaign as a serious threat, and yet November 9th proved them all wrong and the President Elect Trump rolled up his sleeves and began the arduous task of filling a qualified Cabinet and 4000 Federal appointments.

The sobering reality that the Republicans shall be in control of all 3 branches of Government. Something that Obama and his handlers ( in conjunction with the Clinton machine and nefarious enemies  around the world cannot accept.

I have always resisted the notion of the New World Order, however it has become crystal clear that a larger shadow government does in fact control profit and loss(Pl) using  peace and war - Religion and Politics -feast or famine as tactics for citizen control to maximize their demonic outcome.

Agent Provocateurs like George Soros do the bidding of masters by surreptitiously hiring professional protestors to start an anti-Trump movement. It would not have mattered to Soros if Clinton did get in, the demonstrations and finance strategy was already in place....Soros is an enemy of the people.

His professional Protestors swoop in...whip up the crowd and fade away when the protest steam is pressured enough.....and Kennedy playing with Pipeline resistance through the Tide foundation.

Agent Provocateurs continue to perpetuate false stories and Liberal narratives in blind obedience to the Clinton & Obama Machine which continues to spew out their dis-information and threats. Clinton and Obama are now relegated to the bottom feeder level of the murky Political pool.  

Obama and his handlers in conjunction with New World Order financiers through the Clinton Foundation, have put into motion a systematic financial and social collapse for the United States and western world as a Doomsday trigger planted during the Obama administration.

Financial,Political,Social , ethical, landmines have been salted throughout the Obama administrations tenor. Landmines set to be triggered in the event " the enemy" press forward.
 

Clintons job (when elected) was to switch off the Doomsday trigger and siphon funds to the cause while systematically removing the will of the people. To provide Veto block on any Bills which could not be stopped by other methods. The Clinton machine was to be the New World Corruption Bank - Where every action had a price and citizens had no voice.

Fortunately for the hard working, tax paying,law abiding citizen,The Electoral college based upon the successful voting pattern of Donald J Trump determines that Donald J Trump is the legitimate President Elect and the New World order are being derailed.....

Since Congress has blocked Obama's ability to issue executable executive orders and the President Elect Trump team are in mutual control of the Nuclear Codes, Obama has very little opportunity  to further scuttle the mighty ship of state.

I am not an economist, and certainly not as wealthy as I wish to be. I am however a student of Politics and world financial manipulations and shifting powers. All levels of sourcing has led me to believe that even though Clinton and the DNC/New World Order failed to elevate Clinton to the White House they do have a fall back position of collapsing the economic backbone of the American industrial and financial machine.

Watch the stock markets after Trumps inauguration...you will clearly see the NWO manipulation in world events. Please support President Elect Trump and maintain positive wishes for his administration. I am confident that with Trump at the helm, he will steer a course through the artificially turbulent waters of World Politics and find calm seas and sunshine.....President Elect Donald J Trump has the business experience and the vision to recharge the great American way and return respect and prosperity to our vocabulary.

Clinton is finished! 091116

Greetings my fellow Politicanauts!


Dateline: June 19th 2016
Distribution : OPEN

As many of our readers know I am an avid news hound and as our Facebook page  attests we believe in following stories to their source.

Unfortunately in doing so, it saddens me to realize that much of what is pushed down our throats is inaccurate and deceitful to the extreme. All political parties throughout the world use the same twisted tactics and are responsible for their twist of truth. The lazy Main stream media who no longer seek truth or pay qualified journalists to find the truth but financially survive on tag lines and commercial financial gratification . Old stories which continue to churn and regurgitate as new. Changing headlines to the same news story....Postings on Facebook and elsewhere are a prime example.

"Certain postings" bearing such titles as BREAKING:or CLINTON ARRESTED are designed for the reader to click the link to sites that live off reader hit numbers. If they can drag the story on long enough to get a few ad timings, they make more.

It usually doesn't take long to realize the information is designed only to get hits on a site.
I have been quoted as calling them " Rating Whores" and each day I view and read news and facebook postings it enforces my belief.


                                            " The pen is mightier than the sword..."

Yet another massacre of innocent souls in Orlando. The key evidence shows it was methodically planned and executed. There is talk of Family collusion, and coordinated planning. The CIA finally admits they cannot guarantee with any certainty that ISIS has not already infiltrated the North American continent. Homeland Security are dancing to the tune of Obama and attempting to blame guns for Orlando while the World sees it as Radical Islam , and the twisted thinking of a bastardized religion.

Donald Trump has called for a moratorium on Visa's or refugee status from Middle East Countries... the Press & Democrats go nuts! Yet in 1980 then President Carter did exactly that:

 

                              “The expulsion of Iranian diplomats and military trainees from the United States was one element of the four-part program announced by Carter for applying pressure on Iran. The other parts of the program included new trade sanctions against Iran, a freeze of all Iranian government assets in the United States, tighter restrictions on visa for Iranians desiring to come to the United States, and revocation of visas for Iranian who had already enter the country…. 

 

Under Carter’s new visa program, no Iranian was allowed to enter the United States except in the cases of major medical emergencies or political asylum. Because of Carter’s order, U.S. airlines in London began refusing to allow Iranians to board planes bound for the United States. The new visa program was partly a response to alleged fear of Iranian terrorists entering the United States.”

 

However according to Liberals & Democrats and especially Obama, Donald Trumps idea is lunacy and not legal...yet Presidential Proclamations 2525, 2526, and 2527 to authorize the United States to detain allegedly potentially dangerous enemy aliens has never been rescinded since FDR created them! 

 

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies arrested thousands of suspected enemy aliens, mostly individuals of German, Italian, or Japanese ancestry, living throughout the United States.

Report: IRS Spent $11 Million On Guns, Ammo In The Past 10 Years

(Daily Caller) – The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) seems to be building an army.
The IRS spent nearly $11 million on guns, ammunition and “military-style equipment” between 2006 and 2014, according to a new report. IRS investment in heavy firearms and tactical gear is a new trend for the agency, but it follows a pattern of militarization repeated throughout the executive branch of the government.

ATTRACTIVE WOMEN “HARMFUL” TO LONDONERS – Mayor Enacts Bans in Public Places

DHS Secretary: Right-Wingers Pose Same Threat As Islamic Jihadists

This is absurd. But this is the Obama administration policy. And it means that money and time will be wasted watching “right-wingers” instead of trying to stop Islamic jihadists. That means that more people will die.

He Thought His 13 Year Old Neighbor Was Cute So He Did This To Her For Years! Her Parents NEVER Knew!

When little Madison Reed was only thirteen years old, something hideous began taking place in her life that she would not find out about for another five years.

Madison’s neighbor, creepy middle aged Bradley McCollum, thought little miss Reed was just so darn irresistible that he decided to sneak into her family’s home and hide cameras in her bedroom so he could watch her anytime he wanted, which he did, for the next four years!

Dozens of Muslims sexually attacked 80 young women in Cologne train station while bragging, “I had fingers in every orifice”

Former Iraqi MP Admission: Thousands of US Mosques are Being Used by ISIS

While politically correct politicians in both parties continue to weigh the appropriateness of raiding mosques that could have links to ISIS, many within the Muslim community are suggesting that they are too late. Mosques affiliated with ISIS already exist within the United States, and they’re preparing people to join in an uprising against the United States.
This revelation comes from a man who has lots of experience and knowledge of the matter. As a Former Iraqi MP, Ayad Jamal Al-Din has seen his home country torn to shreds by ISIS, and he’s warning that the US could be next.
If true, not only does this show our government’s total ineptitude when it comes to locating and dismantling home-bred terrorist organizations, but it shows just how unwilling they are to stop it.

EDITORIAL:

For thousands of years, mankind has been dominating each other with force and hate. We have progressed from sticks and rocks to the most destructive force in the Universe...the Atomic age.

I believe in a superior force which has granted us life on this Planet.....I believe in the love and honor of my beliefs...and the right to express them as I see fit and in accordance with freedom and the laws of the land.

Organized Religion ( such as it is ) have claimed the moral high ground while financing and authorizing horrific actions in the name of one " merciful deity" or another for nearly a thousand years.

What kind of a god demands the destruction and slaughter of human beings by evil murderers who hide behind the cloak of religion or divine rights given to them by a claimed immortal being (or claimed prophet of one sect or another).

It is time for Nations to defend their beliefs.... forcing an end to the savagery and destruction of the planets history. Stop those who wish to create hate and end those factions who wish to perpetuate eternal chaos. As civilized citizens of the World we must stop their destruction of our moral society - protect Women and Children from savagery and force them to lay down their weapons and end the constant chaos and destruction. 

Hundreds of Millions of lives have been destroyed in order to dominate one faction over another...because some invisible or fictitious omnipotent being demands we continue to destroy each other......

Christianity went through some dark times, and were equally as demonic as some religious followings of today. The difference is that Christianity evolved and a reformation of organized religion brought a peaceful existence on this Planet until Evil raised its head again.....Will it require another Crusade?

Could Iran destroy our Navy in the Persian Gulf?

Aysmmetric, anti-ship missile warfare a potential threat

Over the weekend, Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei sent a tweet titled, “If any war happens …” Associated with the tweet was a staged video of Iran destroying U.S. Navy vessels in the Persian Gulf or Strait of Hormuz using small boat tactics with anti-ship missiles. This is classic asymmetric warfare which has been used by weaker militaries over the centuries to slay larger military Goliaths.

Many laugh at the crude videos Iran has produced using wooden target ships and comical artistry. However, these types of naval tactics have been very effective in the past. In the 1982 Falklands War, the British Royal Navy destroyer HMS Sheffield was sunk by an Argentine, French-made Exocet missile. The threat hit much closer to home in 1987 when the same subsonic sea-skimming Exocet missile, fired from an Iraqi warplane, struck the U.S. Navy frigate USS Stark and crippled the vessel.

Russia Shipping Tanks Into Syria, In ‘First Clear Sign Of Offensive Weapons’

Russia's military build-up in Syria has grown to include the shipment of a half-dozen highly sophisticated battle tanks -- and more troops -- a defense official told Fox News, in what the source called the "first clear sign of offensive weapons arriving in Syria."
-The Pentagon has now tracked a total of 15 Russian Antonov-124 Condor flights into Syria, reflecting a steady stream of military cargo into Syria. According to the latest intelligence, this also includes the arrival of two more Russian cargo ships, containing the tanks.

Russian Flights Over Iraq and Iran Escalate Tension With U.S.

Russians are increasing their flights over the Middle East in a show of force, not only against the Middle East, but against the United States. And this is, obviously, raising tension with the U.S. The Russians are taking supplies and equipment to Syria, which requires them to fly over Iran and Iraq. While it may appear that Russia is the only country doing anything for the Syrians, it is actually a ruse as they try to build their power base in the Middle East, garnering support among Muslims for when the fighting stops and Russia will have been the one that helped end it.

Michael Den Tandt: How Jean Chrétien is still getting it wrong

Jean Chrétien can still choke out an opponent, figuratively speaking. In a newspaper article Saturday and again Sunday at a Hamilton rally with Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister pilloried Stephen Harper for besmirching Canada’s standing in the world and for bungling the Syrian refugee crisis. Chretien’s speech, though rambling and apparently delivered off the cuff, was passionate and peppered with jokes and digs. By the end he had the partisan crowd eating out of his hand. It was vintage Chretien.
If only so much of what he said wasn’t ginned-up malarkey. But that, too, is Chrétien.
Liberals have for years bemoaned The Little Guy’s absence from the stage. They will have reason to feel encouraged by his return, at a practical level. If nothing else, since Paul Martin has also appeared at Trudeau’s side, it puts a final stake through the desiccated heart of the ancient Chrétien-Martin war. Though the two former prime ministers haven’t appeared together — it would be surprising if they did — their making common cause stands to bolster Trudeau’s ground game, particularly in Ontario, the Liberals’ former stronghold in the 1990s.

William Tells --- Revisionist history 110715

The following information is the property and statement of the writer and not necessarily the opinion of the SPIII GAZETTE or TerraChat Network. If you wish to respond to this post feel free at the end of the post or Email VOCR2012@Gmail.com

Revisionist history is complicated by the fact that people's identities are strongly linked to their histories; challenging long-held claims about past events draws criticism and controversy. The field itself isn't cut and dry -- revisionist historians work from angle­s. Often, revisio­nist history is from one of three major perspectives:

Social or theoretical perspective to re-examine the past through different lenses
  
 Fact-checking perspe­ctive to correct the record of past events

 Negative perspective that views revisionism as an intentional effort to falsify or skew past events for specific motives

http://history.howstuffworks.com/history-vs-myth/revisionist-history.htm

In a recent Guru Says "Government of the United States are hemorrhaging money while loosing the domestic engine which pumps life into a stagnant economic heart"   
Looking over to see the staggering state Greece is in. The United States because of corruption in government with and growing debt of its own will in the end come the next Greece.

Due to recent events, Some will latch on to the saying "there was a “glitch” on Wall Street, United Airlines had a “glitch” of its own, The Wall Street Journal had a “glitch” that shut down online viewers all morning, there are all a series of SEVERAL THOUSAND POWER OUTAGES that are at this moment unexplained, AND… several subways just HALTED due to a “glitch"  Some have declared it a false flag and do not support that theory as other theories Stemming a precursor to economic collapse.

There is something familiar about this. Must I say Skynet. Where computer AI becomes self aware and declares war on the humans..  I know this sounds far out be there are several conspiracies sprouting to life as we know it surrounding the hiccups on wall street and American Airlines grounding. If it is just a glitch and the software needed to me shut down. Please do not give the software to the military or we all be doomed as doomed as be you know.

 I have it on good authority that there are a calls to action to wake people up. But the train already left the station. Nobody is going to wake up. There were call to actions when the power outage effected 8 states across America. in the summer on 2003.  And most people ignored it and went on with business as usual. They have spent too much time  talking  among themselves, how we must take action.  How we must take America back. Too many of us allowed evil to take over completely all across the board. from the chat rooms down to local communities. The evidence of the defeatist mindset is quite damning. You can see the overall results in the state our schools are, local communities, churches, chatrooms, neighborhoods, etc etc..  Cities all across the nation the world, are in complete failure.

Historical revisionism is either the legitimate scholastic re-examination of existing knowledge about a historical event, or the illegitimate distortion of the historical record such that certain events appear in a more or less favorable light. For the former, i.e. the academic pursuit, see historical revisionism.[1] This article deals solely with the latter, the distortion of history, which—if it constitutes the denial of historical crimes—is also sometimes (but not commonly) called negationism.

The revisionist tactics are as follows

Most (if not all) of the techniques used in historical revisionism are used for the purpose of deception and/or denial. The specific techniques of historical revisionism vary from using forged documents as genuine sources (or inventing reasons to distrust genuine documents), to exploiting opinions by taking them out of their historical context. [18] Other techniques include manipulating statistical series to support the given point of view, and deliberately mis-translating texts

Did you know Josef Goebbels (one of Hitlers henchmen) once said, "if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth, then people will believe it to be the truth.

In a nutshell the evidence it quite damning because so many in chat have done it and continue to this day and some regurgitate their findings on facebook and their own blogs and yes even in chat.  So many in chat along with facebook posters are using Josef Goebbels tactics to divide and conquer. Spreading whatever revisionist history they have adopted. Calling it fact.  deceiving hundreds on unsuspecting people with numerous lies and misinformation. I take it that every United States President is a Marxist communist, satanist, Nazi, womanizer, rapist, pedophile, murderer, etc etc, Just type this @#$%^ in any search engine to see what you come up adding any U.S. President from George Washington on up with the words Nazi, Marxist, communist, dictator etc etc. The number of angry hate filled individuals I encounter  so far is staggering.

With all the lying going around gets me to think about the song In the Year 2525

which starts out

In the year 2525
If man is still alive

If woman can survive they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth tell no lies

Everything you think do and say is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth won't need your eyes

You won't find a thing to chew, nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms are hangin' limp at you side

Your legs got nothin' to do, some machines doin' that for you.........
Sadly its has become so true.  of all the lyrics of that song.

Since the song become a hit in the year if 1969 sung by the American pop-rock duo of Zager and Evans.

Its been 46 long years that been played on the radio. What has humanity  and its legacy come to show. If you think back at what life was like at that time and compare them to days of today. They were quite tame. They had no cell phones back then and no internet to log on too. There was no airport tyranny in days of yesterday.  No cameras in the sky above looking down at you.  Even though yesterday we had our share of problems.  How can people of today continue managing  on today without going insane. At this time, it appears this insidious evil is winning. God and prayer taken out of the school, replaced with a godless mentality. Man has sure kicked God to the side with the Supreme court ruling on allowing same sex marriage. The end result  will be with God Judging America along with the rest of Humanity.   

Just remember you read it here first

Islamic State: Turkey to let Iraq Kurds join Kobane fight

Turkey is to allow Iraqi Kurdish fighters to cross the Syrian border to fight Islamic State (IS) militants in Kobane, in what is being seen as a policy reversal.

Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said talks on the subject were continuing.
Tens of thousands of people have fled months of fighting in Kobane between IS forces and Syrian Kurd defenders.
The announcement came shortly after the US carried out air drops of weapons to the town's Kurdish fighters.
Meanwhile the US-led coalition has carried out its first air strike of the day, against IS positions in the south-west of the town, says the BBC's Kasra Naji on the Turkish border.
US Central Command later confirmed six strikes near Kobane over Sunday and Monday, as well as six in Iraq near Falluja and Baiji involving French and UK aircraft.
Our correspondent says Kobane has been largely quiet for the second day running, with Kurdish fighters apparently having driven IS militants from most of the town.
But the Turkish government decision is nevertheless a major boost for the defenders' morale, he adds, and soon for their fighting capability.

U.S. Air Drops Arms To Kurdish Forces Fighting ISIS In Kobani

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military said Sunday it had airdropped weapons, ammunition and medical supplies to Kurdish forces defending the Syrian city of Kobani against Islamic State militants.
The airdrops Sunday were the first of their kind and followed weeks of U.S. and coalition airstrikes in and near Kobani, near the Turkish border. The U.S. said earlier Sunday that it had launched 11 airstrikes overnight in the Kobani area.
In a statement Sunday night, U.S. Central Command said U.S. C-130 cargo planes made multiple drops of arms and supplies provided by Kurdish authorities in Iraq. It said they were intended to enable continued resistance to Islamic State efforts to take full control of Kobani.

The airdrops are almost certain to anger the Turkish government, which has said it would oppose any U.S. arms transfers to the Kurdish rebels in Syria. Turkey views the main Kurdish group in Syria as an extension of the Turkish Kurd group known as the PKK, which has waged a 30-year insurgency in Turkey and is designated a terror group by the U.S. and by NATO.
President Barack Obama called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday to discuss the situation in Syria and notify him of the plan to make airdrops Sunday, one administration official told reporters. He would not describe Erdogan's reaction but said U.S. officials are clear about Turkey's opposition to any moves that help Kurdish forces that Turkey views as an enemy.

3 car bombs explode south of Baghdad, at least 16 dead

BAGHDAD –  Iraqi officials say three car bombings in the revered Shiite shrine city of Karbala have killed at least 16 people.
A police officer said Monday that the explosives-laden cars were parked in commercial areas and parking lots near government offices. He says 41 others were wounded in the explosions.

A medical official confirmed the casualty figures. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to talk to media.
Karbala is home to two revered Shiite saints and is located about 55 miles south of Baghdad.
The attacks came hours after a suicide bomber blew himself up among Shiite worshippers as they were leaving a mosque in a commercial area in central Baghdad, killing at least 17 people.

ADF to deploy 200 special forces troops into Iraq after Julie Bishop signs deal

Legal framework agreed with Iraqi government for Australian military personnel to ‘advise and assist’ in fight against Islamic State

Australian military commanders are preparing to send 200 special forces members into Iraq after the foreign affairs minister, Julie Bishop, finalised a legal deal allowing the deployment.
Bishop said she had settled the legal framework during meetings with Iraqi government leaders in Baghdad on Saturday and Sunday, about a month after the special forces members were sent to the Middle East.
They would “advise and assist” the Iraqi security forces to build up their capacity to fight Islamic State (Isis) militants, rather than becoming directly involved in combat operations.
In mid-September, the government sent 200 special forces members and 400 air force personnel to the United Arab Emirates in anticipation of further decisions to formally approve Australia’s commitment to the US-led coalition against Isis.
Australian F/A-18 Super Hornets began missions over Iraq in early October, but arrangements to allow the special forces into the country took longer to complete.
Bishop said in Baghdad on Sunday: “I have finalised agreement for a legal framework to enable our special forces to be deployed here to advise and assist the Iraqi government in building up the capacity of the Iraqi security forces.
“We have reached agreement for a legal framework and now it will be a matter for our military to determine when our special forces will be deployed, so it will be an operational matter from now on.”
Bishop told the ABC on Monday that officials still needed to work on administrative and logistical matters “but the way is now clear for our special forces to be deployed to Iraq for the purposes of training, advising and assisting the Iraqi security forces”.
Asked about the situation on the ground in Iraq, Bishop said the Iraqi government was “confident of holding Baghdad” but the situation was tense.

Benghazi raid 'ringleader' pleads not guilty

The suspected ringleader of the September 2012 raid on a US diplomatic post in the Libyan city of Benghazi has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Ahmed Abu Khattala, 43, appeared in court on 17 new charges, some of which may be punishable by death.
He did not speak during the hearing in Washington but his lawyer entered the plea on his behalf.
US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed in the attack, which became a political lightning rod.
The new charges include four counts of killing a person in the course of an attack on a federal facility.
Other new charges levelled against Mr Khattala include one count of murder of an internationally protected person and one count of providing material support and resources to terrorists resulting in death.
Previous charges denied by Mr Khattala include providing material support and resources to terrorists including himself; killing a person on a federal facility; and damaging property of the US by fire and explosives resulting in death.

Yemen says al-Qaida takes town south of Sanaa as fighting with Shiite rebels resumes elsewhere

SANAA, Yemen –  Yemeni security officials say al-Qaida militants have captured a town south of the capital Sanaa as they fought fierce battles elsewhere against Shiite rebels known as Houthis.
The officials say al-Qaida's Sunni militants on Monday seized al-Adeen town 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of from Sanaa in Ibb province. They did not give details on the capture of al-Adeen, where al-Qaida militants last week stormed the local security headquarters and held it for hours before fleeing to the mountains.

The officials also said fighting between the Houthis and al-Qaida militants resumed Monday in the Raad area in Baydah province south of Sanaa. The battles left 13 Houthis and 15 militants killed.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Russia denies involvement after reports of mystery vessel launch Swedish sub hunt

Swedish naval ships, helicopters and ground troops combed waters near Stockholm Monday after credible reports of foreign undersea activity and a suspected Russian intrusion sparked a submarine hunt not seen since the Cold War era.
The Russian Defense Ministry denied there were any emergency situations involving Russian warships Sunday and suggested a Dutch submarine might have triggered Sweden's alert, after carrying out exercises in the area.

The theory, however, was dismissed by the Dutch defense ministry Monday, French news agency AFP reported. 
Countries around the Baltic Sea remained on edge as the submarine hunt continued for a fourth day, seeking signs of a foreign submarine or smaller underwater craft that officials suspect entered Swedish waters illegally.
The armed forces published a photograph taken on Sunday by a passerby showing a partially submerged object in the water from a distance, but it was unclear what kind of vessel was in question.
The military said the intelligence operation in the Baltic Sea -- less than 30 miles from Stockholm -- involved a few hundred people.
The military showed one picture of what appeared to be a craft surrounded by white ripples, Reuters reported.  The photograph was taken by a witness who said the vessel then submerged -- one of three sightings that the military said were credible reports.
Sweden hasn't said what foreign country it suspects -- and Moscow denies involvement. Swedish Rear Adm. Anders Grenstad told reporters he wouldn't speculate on the photograph or sightings except to say the region is "of interest to a foreign power."
"It could be a submarine, or a smaller submarine," Grenstad told reporters. "It could be divers using some form of moped-like underwater vehicle and it could be divers that don't have any business on our territory."
"This does not belong to us. It is a foreign vessel and we have no indications that there would be any civilians involved in underwater activity,” Grenstad added.
Grenstad said it had no information about any emergency messages suggesting a Russian mini-submarine had run into trouble in Swedish waters and could be damaged, as reported by the Svenska Dagbladet daily over the weekend.

Donetsk Explosion Rocks Rebel-Held Ukrainian City

DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — A powerful explosion has shaken the largest rebel-controlled city in eastern Ukraine as daily battles continue in the region despite a nominal cease-fire being in place.
Shockwaves from the explosion Monday damaged buildings and were felt over a radius of several kilometers.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused the blast, which occurred at or near a rubber processing factory, or whether there are any casualties. The plant is in a rebel-controlled area.
Ukraine and pro-Russian separatist rebels agreed to a truce early last month and although fighting diminished, exchanges of artillery fire take place daily.
The U.N. estimates more than 300 people have been killed since the cease-fire was announced. At least 3,660 people have been killed over six months of fighting, according to UN estimates.

Runners wear face masks to project against “hazardous” levels of air pollution during Beijing marathon 

Athletes donning face masks, running though clouds of smog became the latest image of China’s air pollution crisis as thousands took part in the Beijing marathon amid “hazardous” levels of smog.
Around 30,000 runners were registered to take part in Beijing’s marathon, although the state-controlled China Daily newspaper reported that many runners quit due to health concerns. One participant, Chen Xiaohui, told the newspaper that he dropped out of the marathon because of fears for his health. “A marathon represents a healthy way of living life, not the opposite,” he was quoted as saying. 

The marathon is one of the largest sporting events in China. There was criticism of the orgainisers for not cancelling the race. One of the event’s organising committee, Wang Dawei, was quoted as saying they didn’t foresee the high levels of pollution and added that the date may be changed in the coming years to a time of year where there is less likely to be bad smog.
Last year there there similar scenes at the Shanghai marathon which was held in December. This year the race has been moved to the start of November which is thought to be an effort to avoid the high levels of pollution usual in the city in December. 

Hong Kong Leader Accuses 'External Forces' Of Fueling Protests

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong's leader has claimed that "external forces" are participating in student-led pro-democracy protests that have occupied parts of this financial capital for more than three weeks, but provided no evidence to back his accusation.
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying's statement in a televised interview Sunday was the first time he has alleged foreign involvement in the unrest, echoing accusations by China's central government, which also has not backed them with any evidence. Leung's statement comes just before his government is scheduled to hold talks with student leaders on Tuesday.
When asked on the "Newsline" program about a Chinese official's comments on outside involvement, Leung said, "There is obviously participation by people, organizations from outside of Hong Kong." Leung added that the foreign actors came from "different countries in different parts of the world," but didn't specify which countries.

On Monday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei repeated the charges without specifying who was inciting the protesters.
"Everybody has seen the fact that some people and some forces from the outside are indeed making attempts at interfering in Hong Kong's affairs in order to affect Hong Kong's development, and the fact that they have gone so far as to encourage, instigate and support illegal activities such as Occupy Central," Hong said.
The Hong Kong Federation of Students immediately rejected the accusations, with Secretary General Alex Chow saying Leung was "just making it up."
"He's the chief executive, he's an accountable official," Chow told reporters. "If he's putting forward these accusations, then we hope he also puts forward the evidence. But he shouldn't just say that foreign powers are meddling without evidence."

Obama Sees an Iran Deal That Could Avoid Congress

WASHINGTON — No one knows if the Obama administration will manage in the next five weeks to strike what many in the White House consider the most important foreign policy deal of his presidency: an accord with Iran that would forestall its ability to make a nuclear weapon. But the White House has made one significant decision: If agreement is reached, President Obama will do everything in his power to avoid letting Congress vote on it.

Even while negotiators argue over the number of centrifuges Iran would be allowed to spin and where inspectors could roam, the Iranians have signaled that they would accept, at least temporarily, a “suspension” of the stringent sanctions that have drastically cut their oil revenues and terminated their banking relationships with the West, according to American and Iranian officials. The Treasury Department, in a detailed study it declined to make public, has concluded Mr. Obama has the authority to suspend the vast majority of those sanctions without seeking a vote by Congress, officials say.

But Mr. Obama cannot permanently terminate those sanctions. Only Congress can take that step. And even if Democrats held on to the Senate next month, Mr. Obama’s advisers have concluded they would probably lose such a vote.

“We wouldn’t seek congressional legislation in any comprehensive agreement for years,” one senior official said.

White House officials say Congress should not be surprised by this plan. They point to testimony earlier this year when top negotiators argued that the best way to assure that Iran complies with its obligations is a step-by-step suspension of sanctions — with the implicit understanding that the president could turn them back on as fast as he turned them off.

“We have been clear that initially there would be suspension of any of the U.S. and international sanctions regime, and that the lifting of sanctions will only come when the I.A.E.A. verifies that Iran has met serious and substantive benchmarks,” Bernadette Meehan, the spokeswoman for the National Security Council, said Friday, referring to the International Atomic Energy Agency. “We must be confident that Iran’s compliance is real and sustainable over a period of time.”

But many members of Congress see the plan as an effort by the administration to freeze them out, a view shared by some Israeli officials who see a congressional vote as the best way to constrain the kind of deal that Mr. Obama might strike.

Stream of people seen leaving Dem rally after Obama starts speaking

Expelled Nazis Paid Millions In Social Security

OSIJEK, Croatia (AP) — Former Auschwitz guard Jakob Denzinger lived the American dream.
His plastics company in the Rust Belt town of Akron, Ohio, thrived. By the late 1980s, he had acquired the trappings of success: a Cadillac DeVille and a Lincoln Town Car, a lakefront home, investments in oil and real estate.
Then the Nazi hunters showed up.

In 1989, as the U.S. government prepared to strip him of his citizenship, Denzinger packed a pair of suitcases and fled to Germany. Denzinger later settled in this pleasant town on the Drava River, where he lives comfortably, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers. He collects a Social Security payment of about $1,500 each month, nearly twice the take-home pay of an average Croatian worker.
Denzinger, 90, is among dozens of suspected Nazi war criminals and SS guards who collected millions of dollars in Social Security payments after being forced out of the United States, an Associated Press investigation found.
The payments flowed through a legal loophole that has given the U.S. Justice Department leverage to persuade Nazi suspects to leave. If they agreed to go, or simply fled before deportation, they could keep their Social Security, according to interviews and internal government records.
Like Denzinger, many lied about their Nazi pasts to get into the U.S. following World War II, and eventually became American citizens.

US midterms: Republicans looking zippy as candidates sprint to the finish

Obama returned to the campaign trail in Maryland with the Democrats facing a difficult battle to keep hold of the Senate

The candidates are ready to sprint to the finish. And with just 15 days to go until America’s midterm elections, featuring a high-stakes battle for control of the US Senate, the Republicans are looking zippy.
Here’s the state of the race:
President Obama returned to the campaign trail Sunday, popping up in Maryland to make a big speech on behalf of gubernatorial nominee Anthony Brown. Unfortunately, a good number of audience members walked out early. Undeterred, the president continued to Illinois to stump for Governor Pat Quinn, who is up for re-election.
At rallies, Obama casts 2014 as key for his legacy – AP. “Don’t give up now,” the president said. “Not after we’ve made this much progress.”
A new ABC News/Washington Post poll showed Hillary Clinton out in front of the Democratic field in the 2016 presidential race. Leading on the Republican side was… Mitt Romney. Romney “is supported for the GOP nomination by 21% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents,” researcher Gary Langer writes. “That’s double the support of his closest potential rival.”

Mitt Romney,Hillary Clinton leading the 2016 field

Hillary Clinton remains the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination in 2016, while Mitt Romney barely leads against a scattered group of Republicans.
Among registered voters, former Secretary of State Clinton leads the potential 2016 Democratic field, with 64 percent of the vote. She has a sizable lead on Vice President Joe Biden (13 percent) and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (11 percent), according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Notably, Clinton would take 70 percent of the women's vote and 72 percent of the over-50 vote.
The GOP field, however, is way less clear.
