As Newsweek Disputes Authenticity of Wikileaks Emails, Is Putin Making His Big Move?

Dear Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, I Am Not Sydney Blumenthal Newsweek

Kurt Eichenwald share a very important story about how one of his articles was manipulated and repackaged by Wikileaks Assange, Russian hackers and then Russian media in the last few days and quickly made its way to Donald Trump's PA speeches yesterday as 'proof' that Hillary Clinton is a liar. Trump literally stood on stage waving the printouts as the crowd roared 'Lock Her Up!"

What is happening in our country is truly frightening, and this article reveals much about process as the alt-right and alt-left (yes, it exists) actually collaborate in promoting Hillary Hate.

The evidence emerged thanks to the incompetence of Sputnik, the Russian online news and radio service established by the government-controlled news agency, Rossiya Segodnya, writes Kurt Eichenwald. Americans had better start asking why Trump is advancing Putin's agenda. ~ Anne

Hillary Clinton Is Proposing A Policy to Tackle Deep Poverty VOX

There was NO discussion of Clinton's unveiling this policy on MSNBC yesterday. All they wanted to talk about was Bill Clinton's affairs and Trump. Same story this am on Morning Joe. It's an unline news website that tells us about Hillary big-deal new policy for tackling poverty in America. ~ Anne

"On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton unveiled what is arguably among the most important policies she’s announced during her entire presidential campaign. It is an ambitious but politically attainable plan that will lift huge numbers of families with children out of poverty. It is targeted exclusively at the poor, and the extreme poor in particular, with no money spent on the middle class or rich.
Specifically, Clinton is calling for a change in the refundability threshold of the child tax credit. Those sound like technical changes, but it has tremendous ramifications. Currently, the poorest American families can’t claim the credit, which is a mainstay of the tax returns of most middle-class families. That’s because households that make less than $3,000 a year — the truly, desperately poor — are excluded entirely, and households making under $9,666.67 can’t get the full credit."

How Hillary Became 'Hillary' The New York Times

Gay White -- whose husband came from nowhere to beat Bill Clinton in his first re-election race as Arkansas' governor - isn't clear who she will be voting for in this presidential election. It may well be Hillary Clinton because she can't stand Trump. White helps tell the tale of Hillary's evolution in the world of politics and her relationship with the media. And she does it from a sympathetic pov.

Donald Trump: In Your Heart You Know He's Nuts The Daily Beast

This is a remarkable article in its analysis and assertions. I don't know that Trump is nuts. But I definitely know that he does not have a personality, nor does he exhibit traits of an ability to govern or stay calm, deliberate and focused under pressure.

I Ran the CIA. Now I'm Endorsing Hillary Clinton New York Times

 In his career, this is the first time former CIA director, Michael Morell, has endorsed a candidate for president. That's saying something about what's at-stake this year. It's informative for the high marks he gives Clinton on experience, thoughtfulness, the ability to accept new information as conditions warrant and to change her view. But, it is eye-popping for the devastating profile he paints of Donald Trump as an unwitting Russian agent! O

Senior ex-CIA official: Putin made Trump 'an unwitting agent' of Russia Reuters

Is Donald Trump a danger to national security because Vladimir Putin has played him? Considering that Trump is now supporting positions favorable to Russia and has been consistently lavish in his praise of the former Russian KGB heavy weight, it's very possible that President Vladimir Putin has made the Republican presidential candidate an "unwitting agent" of Russia Michael Morell, a longtime CIA officer and former deputy director of the agency, said in an opinion piece in The New York Times.

"In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation," Morell wrote without providing evidence for his argument. Still, we must ask if -- given his narcissistic personality -- Trump's ego makes him vulnerable to exactly what so many of us fear. Basking in the glow of Trump's perception that Putin believes he is a genius -- which the whole world has observed for months now because Trump can't stop telling us -- has the Orange Mophead responded exactly as Mr. Putin calculated he would. 

How Trump Adviser Stone Became Washington's Sleasiest Political Officer Slate

Slate's chairman and editor-in-chief-Jacob Weisberg revists a piece he wrote about Trump surrogate Roger Stone 30 years ago. He recalls reporting then that Stone was less power player than con artist.

"After my story came out, Stone claimed it was good for his business. I don’t think it was. After Jack Kemp dropped out of the 1988 presidential race, his only nationally known client was Arlen Specter, the late Pennsylvania senator. He would emerge every so often at the center of some bizarre gambit or scandal, advising Al Sharpton on a presidential run, leaving abusive voicemails for Eliot Spitzer’s father, proposing to run for governor of Florida on a platform of legalizing marijuana, or publishing preposterous conspiracy books charging LBJ with masterminding John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Showing off his Nixon tattoo and giving interviews in Miami sex clubs, he was the definition of a marginal political figure.
Another seemingly marginal political figure has brought him back to prominence. Stone has had a long relationship with Donald Trump going back to their mutual friendship with Roy Cohn in the 1980s. For many years, Stone was a lobbyist for Trump’s casino business. He was also the perennial leader of the “Draft Trump” campaign—the person who encouraged Trump’s birther obsession and finally got Trump to run this year."
In August 2015, Stone either quit or was fired from Trump’s campaign. Nonetheless, he remains a Trump surrogate and dirt-dealer, most recently smearing Khizr Khan as a terrorist and predicting a “bloodbath” if the Democrats try to “steal” the election. Thirty years ago, I called him the state-of-the-art political sleazeball. And I’ve got to hand it to him—in the years since, no one has come close to taking that title away from him."

Kaine accuses Trump of history of racism Politico

Tim Kaine showed up to address the National Urban League. Donald Trump’s campaign didn’t. Kaine drew very strong contrast between his own history with African Americans and that of Donald Trump. 

“Around the time my father-in-law desegregated Virginia’s schools,” Kaine said, “the Justice Department had filed suit after Donald Trump and his father were refusing to rent apartments to African-Americans. It was one of the largest federal cases of its kind at the time.”
