Here is a fact I bet most of us did not know (I didn't before reading this report):
The UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) notes that 75% of the world’s food is generated from only 12 plants and five animal species. Out of 30,000 known edible plant species, three (rice, maize and wheat) provide almost 60% of calories and proteins.

Living systems which lose diversity usually die out. That's the path big AG has placed us on.
And TPP, TTIP, TISA, and the other "trade deals" are likely to drive us right over a cliff.
Are you happy now? No one who is hungry can be happy for very long.

US Is Bombing Seven Countries
The only candidate consistently addressing the real issues of this campaign cycle appears to be Dr. Jill Stein:
Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential nominee, charged the major-party hopefuls with failing to tell Americans how they’d tackle challenges including foreign conflicts.
Stein, speaking at Huston-Tillotson University in Austin, said of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump a couple of nights before the last 2016 presidential debate: "They are very busy talking about grabbing women’s genitalia so that they don’t have to reveal that they cannot tell you what are we going to do about this crashing economy, what are we going to do about the climate that is barreling down on us, this catastrophe of the climate."
Stein drew our curiosity when she went on: "They don’t have a solution to the expanding wars except more wars. We are already bombing seven countries and now we do appear to be engaging in this war crime in Yemen where we have been partnering with the Saudis in this war crime for the past year. They do not want to talk about that."
Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally, has sided with Yemen’s government against Houthi rebels in a continuing war.
For this fact check, we wondered if the U.S. is bombing seven countries.
That at least has been so: In September 2014, PunditFact rated True a bombed-countries claim by Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker. Lizza referred to President George W. Bush and his successor, Barack Obama, in a tweet that said: "Countries bombed: Obama 7, Bush 4."
At the time, the U.S. on Obama’s watch had bombed Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and Syria.

Since all seven are MUSLIM countries, it appears that women voters in the US are putting them in the Trump column - as misogynist morons who must be stopped at any cost, even if it means starving and bombing women and children.
Sounds bizarre to me.
By the way, these bombings amount to WAR. Where are the Congressional declarations of war on these nations?
We don't need any, you say? Will Hillary need a declaration of war to attack Russia, or will she just push the button?

AT&T Gets Paid To Spy On US
AT&T now brings new meaing to their slogan "mobilizing your world":
Hemisphere is a secretive program run by AT&T that searches trillions of call records and analyzes cellular data to determine where a target is located, with whom he speaks, and potentially why.

Like Yahoo, it appears AT&T is a law abiding company which complies with the laws of the United States.
But why do "our" laws allow everyone to spy on us when we cannot legally spy on anyone?
That's AFU, no?

Hillary Channels The 1964 Daisy TV Ad
Yesterday I watched a Hillary TV ad which showed an alleged former nuclear weapons launch officer and which suggested that it would be unwise to have Trump's "finger on the button".
It reminded me of the famous 1964 "Daisy" TV ad which suggested the same thing about Barry Goldwater:
https://youtu.be/dDTBnsqxZ3k
In reality, it was LBJ who was the warmonger, not Goldwater. The Vietnam War proved that.
And in today's reality, it is Hillary who is the warmonger. Her history in the Senate and as Secretary of State proves that.
But you're still going to believe her ads, aren't you? You shall reap what she is sowing.

MAD Thought For The Day
Today, there is no instrument in international law that prevents the possibility of mutually assured destruction. Putin has been sending out warnings for over 10 years – all of which fell on deaf ears.
Who will push the button first?
You can read the rest and watch Putin's speech @
http://www.fort-russ.com/2016/07/putins-warning-full-speech-2016.html
I don't know who will push the button first, but when it happens it will be because We The People of the United States did not prevent it.

Dilbert Says "Resist The Bullies"
Here is some great analysis and advice from Scott Adams, the creator of "Dilbert":
I’ve been trying to figure out what common trait binds Clinton supporters together. As far as I can tell, the most unifying characteristic is a willingness to bully in all its forms.
If you have a Trump sign in your lawn, they will steal it.
If you have a Trump bumper sticker, they will deface your car.
if you speak of Trump at work you could get fired.
On social media, almost every message I get from a Clinton supporter is a bullying type of message. They insult. They try to shame. They label. And obviously they threaten my livelihood.
We know from Project Veritas that Clinton supporters tried to incite violence at Trump rallies. The media downplays it.
We also know Clinton’s side hired paid trolls to bully online. You don’t hear much about that.
Yesterday, by no coincidence, Huffington Post, Salon, and Daily Kos all published similar-sounding hit pieces on me, presumably to lower my influence. (That reason, plus jealousy, are the only reasons writers write about other writers.)
Joe Biden said he wanted to take Trump behind the bleachers and beat him up. No one on Clinton’s side disavowed that call to violence because, I assume, they consider it justified hyperbole.
Team Clinton has succeeded in perpetuating one of the greatest evils I have seen in my lifetime.
$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $
Yes, yes, I realize Trump supporters say bad things about Clinton supporters too. I don’t defend the bad apples on either side. I’ll just point out that Trump’s message is about uniting all Americans under one flag. The Clinton message is that some Americans are good people and the other 40% are some form of deplorables, deserving of shame, vandalism, punishing taxation, and violence. She has literally turned Americans on each other. It is hard for me to imagine a worse thing for a presidential candidate to do.
I’ll say that again.
As far as I can tell, the worst thing a presidential candidate can do is turn Americans against each other. Clinton is doing that, intentionally.
Intentionally.
& & & & & & & &
I don’t defend Trump’s personal life. Neither Trump nor Clinton are role models for our children. Let’s call that a tie, at worst.

And we can expect a LOT more bullying if she wins.
Hillary intends to rip the US apart and hand the remains over to her corporate supporters. If you think otherwise, you are a fool ... or a Clinton supporter.

Executive Orders For Sale ???
Now THIS is something which should put Hillary in jail:
A new revelation buried in the Wikileaks trove of tens of thousands of Hillary campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails shows him discussing executive orders in relation to an “idea” a wealthy donor has.
In a leaked email thread between Podesta and Mary Pat Bonner, a “donor adviser” who gets millions for her elite connections in bringing in donors and for being what The New York Times describes as a “master of making donors happy,” it’s all but admitted that Executive Orders are another pay-for-play item on the corrupt American political menu.

Thank you, Julian.
If this is true, then isn't it likely Obama ad-Dajjal either ran a similar scheme or somehow benefited from the one Hillary was running?
Trump is right again - Hillary appears to be the most corrupt politician in US history.
Even worse than that, she appears to have almost single-handedly destroyed what used to be a fairly decent, honest system of governance.
PUT HER AND HER MINIONS IN JAIL !!!
