[THEDIPLOMAT] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... ’s oppressive response to July’s failed coup attempt ‐ in which he sacked thousands of government officials and journalists in a sweeping purge ‐ threatens to drive the nominally secular Turkish state further down the path of Islamist totalitarianism. To observers of international affairs, the path is reminiscent of the one traversed almost 40 years ago by another key U.S. ally and strategic partner in the war against terror: Pakistain.
Striking similarities are revealing themselves between the growing authoritarian behavior ‐ bordering on paranoia ‐ of Erdogan and Pakistain’s military dictator General Zia ul Haq

Will Islamist Turkey and Pakistan and Iran go to war with each other to see which one is the true new Caliphate?
[Gateway Pundit] Former Ambassador John Bolton was on with Lou Dobbs on Tuesday to discuss Hillary Clinton’s health concerns.
Lou Dobbs showed video of Hillary’s handler jumping on stage and telling her to speak at her Denver convention.
The former UN Ambassador said "there’s something here we don’t know about" with Hillary Clinton’s fragile health that we’re not being told.
Lou Dobbs: The man, ostensibly a Secret Service agent, we have found out subsequently that he’s a medical doctor who was there apparently attending to the Democratic nominee. Your reaction on what you saw and whether or not it suggests that we need to know far more about her medical condition.
Ambassador John Bolton: Well, I’ve never seen anything like it before. I mean, presidential candidates are confronted with hecklers and demonstrators in their audiences all the time. And quite properly we ask the Secret Service to do what’s necessary to protect them. But I’ve never seen a stage manager come on to a stage like that directing agents around. If he wasn’t Secret Service who was he to tell these people, agents clearly, to move away and let the speech continue. There’s something here we don’t know about and I said I’ve never seen it before.

The video clearly shows a speaker who is unaccustomed and uncomfortable with being heckled which is strange considering all the clowns she has sent to Trump rallies. I bet it's a whole lotta fun for the hecklers.

So the DNC went all in on a candidate with more health problems than Ramses II's mummy?
First they don't vet youknowwho's experience and background and now they knowingly ignore her conditions.

Chemicals/toxins can block the thyroid and lead to complications but the neurologic symptoms show she is literally short-circuiting. I don't buy a simple blood clot.

That someone would knowingly pursue The Presidency possessing the anomalies she exhibits is testament to their total commitment towards succumbing to megalomania -> Narcissistic personality disorder of the Unprincipled variety?.
[EURASIAREVIEW] The latest revelation of the Pak Terrorist Bahadur Ali alias Saiffullah, who was captured alive by the Indian security forces in Kupwara sector, that he had met Hafiz Saeed ...founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its false-mustache offshoot Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The United Nations declared the JuD a terrorist organization in 2008 and Hafiz Saeed a terrorist as its leader. Hafiz, JuD and LeT are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Pak intel apparatus, so that amounted to squat... twice in the Muzzafarabad training camp, has dispelled the clouds of uncertainty and suspicion that had till now shrouded the ongoing turmoil in Kashmire. The involvement of Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... (LeT), a jihadi terror organization, in the current impasse has now been established beyond doubt.

[COUNTERPUNCH.ORG] The likely next American President, Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another William H. Seward ... is fielding an array of foreign policy advisers, a few being sort of table scraps from the Bush administration and others having resigned from Obama’s. They are today preparing white papers on all manner of "adjustments" to what the presumed 45th American President reportedly believes was a weak and wrongheaded Obama Middle East policy, particularly with respect to the Syrian crisis and Hezbollah.
This according to sources at the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) Judicial Council on which this observer served representing his State of Oregon many moons ago. One staffer reports that the Neocon-Zionist lobby has a Middle East Policy deal with the Clinton campaign as a linchpin of her pledge to "eternally cover Israel’s back." The Clinton camp, which appears to be gaining adherents within the CIA, the State Department and the Pentagon, believes that the B.O. regime’s policy toward Russia and Syria is badly flawed partly because, so they claim, Obama wrongly assumes that Russia wants to limit its involvement in Syria. Clinton advisers claim that, on the contrary, Putin’s key objectives include demonstrating that Russia is winning in Syria, that the US has become a paper tiger in the region, and that the Arab states best follow Russia’s lead as it dramatically returns to the region a la the former USSR.
To set the stage for the her administration, some would-be Clinton advisers such as WINEPS Dennis Ross, are counseling that she must increase political pressure now, as the clock runs out on the B.O. regime, to dramatically beef up what they view as Obama’s weak "truce agreement" between Washington and Moscow. This as former Defense Secretary and Clinton adviser, Leon Panetta ...current SecDef, previously Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Panetta served as President Bill Clinton's White House Chief of Staff from 1994 to 1997 and was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1977 to 1993.... , is advocating that the next president increase US Special Forces in Syria and launch air strikes to shore up ’moderates" fighting the Syrian government.Others are urging that after Clinton is sworn-in the US must ponce on all "truce violations" with drones and cruise missiles and target Syrian airbases and artillery positions, while simultaneously setting up safe areas for civilians, and if deemed necessary, no-fly zones.

All Hezbollah needs to change that is a donation to the Clinton Foundation.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Hillary Clinton
