US Has Nearly 30,000 Defense Contractors in Afghanistan
– US Has Nearly 30,000 Defense Contractors in Afghanistan:
Over Three Times as Many Contractors as Soldiers Remain
While the Obama Administration has presented its (already-stalled) drawdown in Afghanistan as “ending” the war and bringing the number of US forces down in the country to very small levels, they rarely discuss the substantial number of American defense contractors still in the country.
While the US officially has just 9,000 troops in Afghanistan, they also have some 29,000 contractors stationed around the country. Two-thirds of the contractors are said to be foreign nationals, with the Pentagon saying they are mostly involved in logistics and maintenance for the ongoing war.

Obamacare Doomed As Insurers Lose $2 Billion On Plans In 2016 (Prompting 2017 Rates To Soar)
– Obamacare Doomed As Insurers Lose $2 Billion On Plans In 2016 (Prompting 2017 Rates To Soar):
The typical rosy Democrat narrative on Obamacare highlights the decline in uninsured Americans as evidence of its great “success” while conveniently ignoring the fact that most of the “newly insured” are actually coming from the expansion of Medicaid. The fact is that Obamacare is a debacle and is on the verge of collapse (see our previous post “Obamacare On “Verge Of Collapse” As Premiums Set To Soar Again In 2017“).
Our reasoning is quite simple and is the same reason Obamacare was doomed from the start. As we’ve pointed out numerous times in the past, the true downfall of Obamacare will be in its inherent “adverse selection bias.” “Sicker/older” people have every incentive to enroll while “younger/healthier” people, the ones that were supposed to subsidize everyone else by buying policies they didn’t need, are choosing to simply pay their penalties instead. So what you’re left with is a pool of “sicker/older” people who consume a massive amount of healthcare but whom don’t pay “their fair share” because Obamacare specifically caps the rates that can be charged to the “sicker/older” people at 3x the rates charged to “younger/healthier” people (who cares if they consume 20x more healthcare…3x just sounded about right).

Israel’s mysterious baby-stealing scandal extends to Holocaust survivors
– Israel’s mysterious baby-stealing scandal extends to Holocaust survivors:
Holocaust survivors are among those victimized by Israel’s growing baby-stealing scandal, a shocking new investigation by Haaretz has found.Israel has long been accused of nabbing babies from Yemenite immigrants in the 1940s and 1950s, but the new report from the country’s “oldest daily newspaper” details accounts of families from Europe who lost children in unusual circumstances in both Israeli hospitals and in British detention camps in Cyprus.

Brazil Escalates: Authorities Pull 2 US Olympic Swimmers From Rio Flight
– Brazil Escalates: Authorities Pull 2 US Olympic Swimmers From Rio Flight:
It appears Brazilian officials are not simply going to let this one go. With Ryan Lochte reportedly back in the US (and teammate James Feigen unaccounted for) following the Brazilain judge’s search-and-seizure warrant, CNN reports that two fellow swimmers involved in the alleged robbery – Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz – were removed by Brazilian authorities on Wednesday night from their flight before it departed Rio de Janeiro to the United States, according to US Olympic Committee spokesman Patrick Sandusky.
As a reminder, Lochte, a gold-medal winner, said his wallet was stolen as he and three of his American teammates — Bentz, Conger and James Feigen — were returning to Rio’s Olympic Village in a taxi. They said they were robbed by men posing as police officers, adding that the group initially didn’t contact the U.S. Olympic Committee because they were “afraid (they’d) get in trouble.” The story made quick waves Sunday, especially after Lochte, 32, detailed the alleged encounter on the “Today” show. Lochte’s account has come under increased scrutiny since then. Embarrassed Rio police said they have found little evidence to support the accounts, and a police source said they are unable to find the taxi driver or witnesses.
Multiple sources told NBC Sports that Conger and Bentz cleared security and were in their seats on the plane when authorities came on to the aircraft shortly before takeoff and removed the swimmers.
They are being held at the airport but are being treated well and cordially, the sources said.
Authorities have indicated they don’t want to hold the swimmers long, but do want to know what happened during the early morning robbery, the sources said.
“We can confirm that Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were removed from their flight to the United States by Brazilian authorities,” U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Patrick Sandusky said. “We are gathering further information.”
Lochte’s lawyer Ostrow said Lochte gave police a statement as representatives from the U.S. State Department, United States Olympic Committee and the FBI observed. Lochte signed the statement to attest to its truthfulness, Ostrow said.
Police have not asked Lochte for more information, and they did not ask him to remain in Brazil, Ostrow said.
“They never said, ‘Stay around,'” Ostrow said. “Otherwise, I would have advised Ryan to stay.”
He accused Brazilian authorities of trying to “save face” after allowing the incident to become “a circus.”

Here’s How Much Michael Phelps Might Have to Pay the IRS for Winning Olympic Medals
– Here’s How Much Michael Phelps Might Have to Pay the IRS for Winning Olympic Medals:
‘You didn’t win that‘ might as well be the U.S. government’s official congratulatory platitude to American Olympians who succeed in Rio this summer.
This year, the IRS will impose a nearly 40% “victory” tax on athletes who take home gold, silver, and bronze medals for the United States.
American Olympians earn $25,000 for gold medals, $15,000 for silver, and $10,000 for bronze, paid for by the U.S. Olympic Committee. But according to the non-profit advocacy group Americans for Tax Reform, “a gold medalist from Team USA could end up facing a tax bill of $9,900 per gold medal, $5,940 per silver medal, and $3,960 per bronze medal.”

For the self-described “most transparent administration ever” it appears keeping the lies straight is becoming harder and harder. Having slammed the press, Donald Trump, and anyone who dare mention the “lack of logic” in paying a $400 million ransom for 4 Iran hostages, WSJ reports that Treasury officials have confirmed that Obama lied and in fact, the tightly scripted exchange of cash was specifically timed to the release of several American prisoners held in Iran.

German gangs are recruiting new members from asylum seekers, the head of the German police union told RT, adding there are cases when a few days after a refugee camp is set up, “black limousines” apparently containing gang recruiters were spotted.“In Berlin we have big groups of criminal family clans, among them are groups with Arabic and Asian backgrounds as well as Russians. We have the entire spectrum here,” Bodo Pfalzgraf, head of the German police union in Berlin, said.
He added that the structure of such clans “is based on family connections.”

Thought police now patrol social media platforms and online forums to quash putatively ‘abusive’ vitriol with the help of feckless civilians urged to end freedom of speech under the guise of rooting out hate.
Expected to run for two years at a cost of $2.2 million (£1.7 million) — of which the Home Office will contribute $581,000 (£450,000) — the London Mayor’s Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC) believes severely curtailing free speech is necessary due to “the increasing role that online hate played in targeting individuals and communities.”

Trump Explains Why He Doesn’t Trust US Intelligence Hours Before First Briefing
FYI.
– Trump Explains Why He Doesn’t Trust US Intelligence Hours Before First Briefing:
Hours before receiving his first security briefing Trump decided to trash the U.S. intelligence community, in an interview with Fox News, while declaring that he “won’t use them.” Per an article published by The Hill, when asked whether he trusts U.S. intelligence, Trump responded:
“Not so much from the people that have been doing it for our country. I mean, look what’s happened over the last 10 years. … It’s been catastrophic. Very easy to use them, but I won’t use them, because they’ve made such bad decisions.”
Trump plans to attend the security briefing with former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who led the Defense Intelligence Agency earlier in the Obama administration, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

Jon Rappoport: Obama Tries to Sneak Through TPP in Lame-duck Congress
H/t reader squodgy:
“It will happen. The greed of bureaucrats ensures the TTP and its Atlantic equivalent will one day lead to a bankrupt world. There is no future if this is permitted.”
– Obama Tries to Sneak Through TPP in Lame-duck Congress:
First: know that the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) is a huge Globalist trade deal among 12 nations that would a) “phase out thousands of tariffs” (NY Times, 6/1/16) and b) set up corporate tribunals to punish nations that refuse to import goods (e.g., toxic pesticides, toxic medical drugs, GMOs).
In short, it’s a nightmare.
Wiping out tariffs is the cornerstone of the Globalist agenda. It allows companies in industrial countries to move their factories to Third World hell holes, pay slave wages, ignore environmental conditions, and then export their products back to the countries they abandoned—with no tariffs. No taxes. No penalties.

Trump Hires Breitbart Chairman As Campaign CEO In Latest Shake Up To “Boost Sagging Polls”
FYI.
– Trump Hires Breitbart Chairman As Campaign CEO In Latest Shake Up To “Boost Sagging Polls”:
In the latest surprise move involving his key political advisors, overnight Donald Trump revealed the latest shake up to his presidential campaign, the second in two months, hiring a top executive from Breitbart News and promoting a senior adviser in an effort to “right his faltering campaign” according to the NYT.
Stephen Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News will become the Republican campaign’s chief executive, and Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser and pollster for Trump and his running mate, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana, will become the campaign manager. Paul Manafort, the campaign chairman, will retain his title. But the staffing change, hammered out on Sunday and set to be formally announced Wednesday morning, was seen by some as a demotion for Mr. Manafort. The Washington Post cited campaign aides as saying that while Trump respected Manafort, he felt “‘boxed in’ and ‘controlled’ by people “who barely knew him”.
Why Bannon? Robert Costa provides one clue:

Immigrants Want Cross Removed from Swiss Flag
Source: (H/t reader kevin a.)
The Muslim group behind this idiotic demand known as the “Secondos,” began a nationwide campaign in October to urge Swiss citizens to change the flag to something that is “less offensive” to Muslims.
How about this?
– Immigrants Want Cross Removed from Swiss Flag:
An immigrant group based in Bern has called for the emblematic white cross to be removed from the Swiss national flag because as a Christian symbol it “no longer corresponds to today’s multicultural Switzerland.”
Ivica Petrusic, the vice president of Second@s Plus, a lobbying group that represents mostly Muslim second-generation foreigners in Switzerland (who colloquially are known as secondos) says the group will launch a nationwide campaign in October to ask Swiss citizens to consider adopting a flag that is less offensive to Muslim immigrants.
Zurich gives go-ahead to poster with ‘racist image of Islam’ ahead of Swiss vote on allowing minarets at mosques
Zurich city council said yesterday that a poster showing missile-like minarets on a Swiss flag can be displayed ahead of a national referendum on whether to ban the building of minarets at mosques in Switzerland.
Zurich followed Lucerne and Geneva in arguing that the posters, which also feature a veiled woman with ‘menacing eyes’, were protected by free speech.
Basel and Lausanne have banned them saying they paint a ‘racist, disrespectful and dangerous image’ of Islam.
The posters, which urge a ban on the building of minarets, are part of a campaign by the nationalist Swiss People’s Party.

Obama Wants A Third Term And This Is How He Could Make It Happen
FYI.
– Obama Wants A Third Term And This Is How He Could Make It Happen:
By Jeremiah Johnson (nom de plume of a retired Green Beret of the United States Army Special Forces)
Yes, we are all well aware the Constitution limits the Presidency to two consecutive four-year terms of office. Then again, if you weigh the track record of the Obama administration, the Constitution is nothing more than a challenge that he bypasses and circumvents with every given opportunity. Small wonder that he may very well do the same thing with the upcoming presidential elections. Already a sham, the presidential elections are actually a vehicle he can use to grab that “Third Term” for himself.
First we’re going to quote straight out of the Huffington Post, an article from August 9, 2016, entitled “Does He Deserve a Third Term? Obama is S.T.U.P.I.D!” The acronym “STUPID” is supposed to stand for Super Human, Tough, Unequalled, Proactive, Ingenious, and Demi-god.
No, your eyes did not deceive you: that last was “Demi-god,” this article from a “Contributor” to the Huffington Post. The last paragraph is very alarming, and here it is:

Hunger Games: This One Olympic Photo Sums up Everything Wrong with Society
– Hunger Games: This One Olympic Photo Sums up Everything Wrong with Society:
The 31st Olympic summer games are underway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and thousands of athletes and spectators from around the world have gathered for the event which will serve as prime time entertainment for the next couple of weeks. Every four years an insane amount of money is dumped into the spectacle as host cities and the Olympic committee construct arenas, stadiums and press quarters, leaving megalithic ruins in their wake.
Most of the news coverage about the events in Rio are centered around the pomp and splendor of athleticism, hoping to portray the affair as an opportunity for the world to feel united in sport, yet the truth is always hidden from the highlights and coverage: the world is suffering from terrible inequality and the fallout of economic tyranny, and the divide between the haves and have-nots is now greater than it has ever been.
