Trump directed nearly a fifth of the $6.7M he spent in May to companies he owns or to reimbursing his kids:http://on.wsj.com/28JTdUI

US-Supported Genocide in Yemen
Stephen Lendman
Yemen is Obama’s war, naked aggression letting Saudis, other rogue Gulf States and Israel do his dirty work - enforcing blockade to restrict humanitarian aid, flooding the region with weapons and munitions, providing intelligence for terror-bombing, designating targets to be struck, civilians being massacred in much larger numbers than UN reports claim.
War in Yemen is US-sponsored slow-motion genocide, putting most of its population at risk. Yet something this important gets scant scoundrel media coverage, most often none at all - including on the following incidents. RT International reported Saudi warplanes (bought from America, armed with US munitions) terror-bombed a huge pro-Houthi/pro-ousted President Abdullah Saleh rally in Sanaa on Saturday, the nation’s capital.
Unknown numbers of civilians were killed or injured. One participant said “(s)uddenly they started bombing, and the crowd started running…People (were) screaming.”
Earlier in August, Riyadh terror-bombed a school and Doctors Without Borders hospital, causing numerous civilian deaths and injuries.
Another Hillary Big Lie Exposed
Stephen Lendman
Already an unindicted perjurer for giving FBI investigators and Congress differing accounts of her personal server use for official State Department business, it’s now known she lied, claiming former Secretary of State Colin Powell recommended she operate this way.
On August 21, Page Six headlined “Colin Powell sets record straight on involvement in (Hillary) email scandal,” saying:
He went public for the first time, “saying her team is falsely trying to blame him.” In testimony before FBI investigators, she said “Powell had advised her to use a personal email account at a private dinner.”
Dalai Lama Hostile to US Imperial War Refugees
Stephen Lendman
The Dalai Lama's longstanding history of CIA collaboration shows he’s no saint-like human rights champion - earlier supporting the agency’s involvement in arming, training, funding and directing Tibetan fighters against China from his exiled Indian residence.
He’s as much a political operative as religious figure, supporting Western imperial interests - a refugee himself, opposed to others forced to flee from US war zones, notably Syria.
In an interview with German newspaper Allgemeine Zeitung, he said “too many” refugees seek asylum in Europe.“Europe, for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country. Germany is Germany.” It’s taken in so many refugees, “it becomes difficult” to avoid it.
In 1959, he and thousands of his followers fled to India as refugees. They and their descendants remained for over half a century.
U.S. Invades Syria, And Warns Russia
Eric Zuesse
On Monday, August 22nd, the United States government — which demands the overthrow of the internationally-recognized-as-legal government of Syria — officially announced that America’s military forces in Syria will continue to occupy Syrian land, no matter what the Syrian government says, and will shoot down any Syrian planes that fly over U.S. forces there.
As reported on Monday by Al-Masdar News:
The Pentagon has announced that the USA is ready to down Syrian and Russian planes that they claim threaten American advisers who by international law are illegally operating in northern Syria.
On Friday, Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis claimed that US jets attempted to intercept Syrian planes to protect the American advisers operating illegally with Kurdish forces in Syria after Syrian government jets bombed areas of Hasakah when Kurdish police began an aggression against the National Defense Force.
Turkey’s Duplicity on Syria
Stephen Lendman
Turkey is a NATO member, a longtime US ally despite strained relations over the events of July 15, Erdogan an international outlaw, long coveting annexation of northern Syrian territory, along with removal of Assad.
In recent remarks, repeated on Saturday, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim was less than honest. He promised to work with Russia and Iran for conflict resolution in Syria while continuing active support for terrorists representing US interests and Turkey’s. He demands democratically elected/overwhelmingly popular President Assad must go - instead of straightaway as earlier insisted, later during a transitional process.
Latest Hillary Email Scandal Revelation
Stephen Lendman
Hillary lied about not having classified State Department material on her personal home server. She lied about turning over to the State Department all emails relating to agency business.
On Monday, the FBI announced discovery of 15,000 previously undisclosed emails. Some are personal. Others show foreign officials sought favors in return for large Clinton Foundation donations.
Judicial Watch (JW) president Tom Fitton asked “(w)hen will State release them? It looks like the State Department is trying to slow-roll the release of the records. They’ve had them for at least a month, and we still don’t know when we’re going to get them.”
A Monday court hearing was held to rule on a release schedule. The same day, JW said it “released 725 pages of new State Department documents…”
New Development in Russia’s War on Terrorism in Syria
Stephen Lendman
Russia remains committed to defeating the scourge of US-sponsored terrorism in Syria. What’s coming strategically remains to be seen.
Iran agreed to let Russia fly long range combat missions from its Hamadan airbase - shortening a 2,000 km flight from its own territory to around 700 km, enabling more rapid responses against terrorists in Syria with increased payloads by combining airpower from Syrian and Iranian bases.
On August 16, Tass said Russian long-range Tu-22M3 bombers and “frontline” Su-24 warplanes attacked terrorist positions. Monday’s mission “destroyed five large depots with armament, ammunition, fuel and lubricants, militants’ training camps in the areas of the communities of Serakab, Al-Bab, Aleppo and Deir ez-Zor, and also a large number of militants,” Tass reported.
Hillary Must Testify Under Oath in Writing on Her Festering Email Scandal
Stephen Lendman
Likely never before in the republic’s history has a candidate for the nation’s highest office been so irreparably legally, ethically and morally tainted multiple times over - clearly making her unfit to serve.
If ordinary people committed her offenses, they’d be serving long prison terms - perhaps life sentences with no possibility of parole.
Yet Hillary will likely succeed Obama - for the first time in US history, a known criminal to be anointed president of the United States and commander-in-chief of its military, her multiple high crimes ignored, her power as chief executive letting her reign terror on humanity with a stroke of her pen.
In response to the conservative Judicial Watch watchdog FOIA lawsuit, Hillary must respond in 30 days under oath to questions it’ll submit - US federal district court Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled.
Trump’s Dead Broke Campaign Has Been Paying Trump’s Companies (And Trump’s Family) A Lot Of Money

Trump's campaign is ridiculously, embarrasingly, and humiliatingly broke. This much has been well-covered. Trump cannot raise money, the RNC cannot raise it on his behalf, and accordingly he has a paltry $1.2M cash on hand heading into the general. This is due largely to the fact that he was only able to raise an embarrassing $3.1M in the whole month of May...barely more than Ted Cruz raised in the first three days of May.
In spite of the fact that the campaign has no money and is not raising any money, it is giving away hefty sums of money to Trump's companies, his kids, and himself. The Wall Street Journal added it up and found that Trump spent over a million on his kids and his own companies:
China’s Pivot to World Markets, Washington’s Pivot to World Wars, and the Debacle of the Latin American Left
James Petras
Introduction China and the United States are moving in polar opposite directions: Beijing is rapidly becoming the center of overseas investments in high tech industries, including robotics, nuclear energy and advanced machinery with collaboration from centers of technological excellence, like Germany.
In contrast, Washington is pursuing a predatory military pivot to the least productive regions with collaboration from its most barbaric allies, like Saudi Arabia. China is advancing to global economic superiority by borrowing and innovating the most advance methods of production, while the US degrades and debases its past immense productive achievements to promote wars of destruction.
China’s growing prominence is the result of a cumulative process that advanced in a systematic way, combining step-by-step growth of productivity and innovation with sudden jumps up the ladder of cutting edge technology.
