Environment
Climate projections now used to put animals on endangered species list.
I'm' skeptical renewables have surpassed coal as the world's leading energy source.
Coal remains in great demand.
Hexagonal forms and clouds in the atmosphere are likely produced by Berkeland currents.
Members of hundreds of Indian tribes have united to protest construction of North Dakota oil pipeline.
I'm skeptical world wildlife has fallen by 58 percent in 40 years, but I'm sure some animals, those protected by socialism, have.
Sun's output drops to 300-year low. Yikes.

"This report provides a description of the new largest building in the world. However, it is not a tall skyscraper so it does not fit nicely with the Skyscraper Curse analysis. Otherwise, we might expect a global economic crisis on the horizon.This reminds me of Liberty Center in West Chester.
The building is the world's largest as measured by square footage, which it has around 20 million square feet of floor space. That is more floor space than the equivalent of:
"

War
The truth about ISIS.
As Iraqi forces finally get around to taking Mosul from ISIS, casualties soar over 500.
American fighter killed in Iraq.
NASA is a cover for the military.
War wiping out gorillas in Congo.
Five unethical US military experiments I hadn't heard of.
"As a former soldier and war correspondent who has covered 14 conflicts, I look at all the media hoopla over tightening siege of Mosul, Iraq and shake my head. This western-organized “liberation” of Mosul is one of the bigger pieces of political-military theater that I’ve seen.But they are great at media.
Islamic State(IS), the defender of Mosul, is a paper tiger, blown out of all proportion by western media. IS is, as this writer has been saying for years, an armed mob made up of 20-something malcontents, religious fanatics, and modern-day anarchists. At its top is a cadre of former Iraqi Army officers with military experience.
These former officers of Saddam Hussain are bent on revenge for the US destruction of their nation and the lynching of its late leader. But IS rank and file has no military training, little discipline, degraded communications, and ragged logistics."

Police State
FBI found not 1,000, but tens of thousands of emails on Abedin's and Weiner's pc. Comey broke tradition to re-investigate Clinton. Abedin caught lying about giving up all devices and archiving emails. Abedin disappears from campaign.

"Most startling of all were the undercover government informants that were revealed in the trial. After weeks of wrangling and arguing with defense lawyers, the Justice Department finally stipulated that at least nine undercover informants were planted among the Refuge occupiers. Thus, informants outnumbered the defendants on trial. One informant was even a “bodyguard” for Ammon Bundy and drove him to his arrest. Another informant admitted he trained occupiers in shooting and combat skills."This is how the FBI radicalizes people.
How the modern police state persecutes dissenters like the Bundys.
"The trial has revealed an astounding brave new world of modern surveillance and surreptitious “law enforcement” techniques. Drones flew over and recorded much of what went on. FBI agents captured and monitored every phone number connected between every participant. A search warrant after the fact gave the government permission to surf through 36 Laptops, smartphones, flash drives and other devices to build the government’s case. The FBI turned the analysis of Facebook likes, dislikes, messages, and posts into a science, with multiple agents assigned to that social media alone.Outside the Refuge, FBI, Oregon State Police, and other law enforcement agencies swarmed over the countryside. Government snipers appeared on local rooftops. Barricades and barbed wire were erected to protect the school and courthouse from the alleged militia danger. Undercover FBI agents dressed as redneck militia members roamed through local stores and menaced the streets. "
"For days, Marcus Mumford (attorney for Ammon Bundy) demanded more information about the extent of undercover informants. Mumford pointed to the fact that the defendants were charged with conspiracy, and no one can be convicted of conspiring with undercover government agents. (The trial was filled with unanswered questions about who brought and left ammunition and guns, who damaged property, and why some people but not others were charged.)Finally the Justice Department stipulated (without naming any names) that at least nine occupiers were undercover informants; a number greater than the number of defendants on trial. (Heavily redacted documents in the hands of the defense suggest the number of informants was actually at least 15.)"This will become commonplace.

Federal Reserve
All four major central banks are printing like crazy, but...
"The fundamentals for Japan are not good, yet the yen remains the strongest currency of the big four. The eurozone risks a systemic collapse, overwhelmed by political and financial headwinds, yet the euro’s exchange rate has proved relatively impervious to this deep uncertainty. The British economy is strongest, yet sterling is the weakest of the four majors.If nothing else, today’s foreign exchanges are evidence that subjectivity triumphs over macroeconomic thinking."That's part of the problem with fiat money.

FBI finds 1,000 more Clinton emails and opens a new investigation. She was ordered to turn them over already. Not turning them over is either contempt of court or obstruction of justice.
