This is for all you FKwit socialist, move to Venezuelan they got plenty of room

 

Venezuelan migrant exodus hits 3 million: U.N.

 

GENEVA (Reuters) - Three million Venezuelans have fled economic and political crisis in their homeland, most since 2015, the United Nations said on Thursday.

 

The exodus, driven by violence, hyperinflation and shortages of food and medicines, amounts to around one in 12 of the population.

 

It has accelerated in the past six months, said William Spindler of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which appealed for greater international efforts to ease the strain on the country's neighbors.

 

U.N. data in September showed 2.6 million had fled.

 

"The main increases continue to be reported in Colombia and Peru," Spindler said.

 

Colombia is sheltering 1 million Venezuelans. Some 3,000 more arrive each day, and the Bogota government says 4 million could be living there by 2021, costing it nearly $9 billion.

 

Oil-rich Venezuela has sunk into crisis under Socialist President Nicolas Maduro, who has damaged the economy through state interventions while clamping down on political opponents.

 

He has dismissed the migration figures as "fake news" meant to justify foreign intervention in Venezuela's affairs.

Why is the press trying to erase GOP congressional winner Young Kim from all the 'Year of the Woman' hoopla?

By Monica Showalter

 

The Associated Press reports that as of yesterday at 12:05 p.m., and with 100% of the ballots counted, Kim beat her competitor, Gil Cisneros, 51.3% to 48.7%, taking 76,956 votes to her opponent's 73,077. The New York Times reports the same. That pretty well gave CBS time to include her in.

 

Nope, no coverage. As the Stalinists did it, she's a "non-person."

CBS News last night went all in for the identity politics advocacy, highlighting the numbers of women elected to the new incoming House, which was won by the Democrats. The idea of course was to paint Republicans by implication as racist and sexist, and promote Democrats as the only party of 'inclusion.'

 

It's drivel - and with CBS's exclusion of Southern California's first Korean-American congresswoman, Young Kim, it was obviously a selectively edited report.

 

Young's problem, see, is that she's a Republican who defeated a Democrat, and that doesn't quite fit the "narrative." So despite being the first Korean-American congresswoman, she got left out of the story.

State Department cable shows exposure of Lockheed bribes threatened NATO’s stability

 

TOP SECRET cable in the Kissinger archives shows alarm over Church Committee revelations that could have led to Netherlands withdrawing from NATO - or even restructuring their government

 

A State Department cable in the Central Intelligence Agency’s Kissinger archive claims that pending revelations from the Church Committee would rock the Netherlands, potentially forcing it to leave NATO. Even more drastically, the memo warned that this scandal could lead to “the restructuring of the Dutch political system.”

 

Though the memo doesn’t specify what the allegations are, they likely relate to one of Lockheed’s bribery scandals. According to a Washington Post article from 1977, the Lockheed scandals were “first revealed in testimony before the Senate subcommittee on multinational corporations in the summer of 1975.” The same article explains that “Prince Bernhard was stripped of his jobs in the armed forces and forced to relinquish business connections after a Dutch inquiry concluded he had sought payments from Lockheed.” (Bernhard, coincidentally, was the co-founder for the infamous Bilderberg Group.) According to an article preserved in CIA’s archives, the Agency was aware not only aware of the payoffs, but “Lockheed representatives participated in briefings with the CIA in various embassies.”

Suspected Maoist rebels kill five ahead of Chhattisgarh polls

 

The third such attack in two weeks comes a day before Prime Minister Modi addresses an election rally in the state.

 

Raipur, Chhattisgarh - Suspected Maoist rebels in India have killed five people, including a paramilitary soldier, in a restive central Indian state that goes to polls this month.

 

Police said two Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) soldiers were also wounded when an explosive device tore through a CISF bus near Bacheli in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district on Thursday.

 

It was the third such attack in two weeks and came a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses an election rally in the state.

 

In the previous two attacks, four paramilitary soldiers, two policemen and one television cameraman were killed.

The 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month—100 Years Ago

 

The First World War ended 100 years ago this month on November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m. Nearly 20 million people had perished since the war began on July 28, 1914.

 

In early 1918, it looked as if the Central Powers—Austria-Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire—would win.

 

Czarist Russia gave up in December 1917. Tens of thousands of German and Austrian soldiers were freed to redeploy to the Western Front and finish off the exhausted French and British armies.

 

The late-entering United States did not declare war on Germany and Austria-Hungary until April 1917. Six months later, America had still not begun to deploy troops in any great number.

 

Then, suddenly, everything changed. By summer 1918, hordes of American soldiers began arriving in France in unimaginable numbers of up to 10,000 doughboys a day. Anglo-American convoys began devastating German submarines. The German high command’s tactical blunders stalled the German offensives of spring 1918—the last chance before growing Allied numbers overran German lines.

 

Nonetheless, World War I strangely ended with an armistice—with German troops still well inside France and Belgium. Revolution was brewing in German cities back home.

 

The three major Allied victors squabbled over peace terms. America’s idealist president, Woodrow Wilson, opposed an Allied invasion of German and Austria to occupy both countries and enforce their surrenders.

 

By the time the formal Versailles Peace Conference began in January 1919, millions of soldiers had gone home. German politicians and veterans were already blaming their capitulation on “stab-in-the-back” traitors and spreading the lie that their armies lost only because they ran out of supplies while on the verge of victory in enemy territory.

 

The Allied victors were in disarray. Wilson was idolized when he arrived in France for peace talks in December 1918—and was hated for being self-righteous when he left six months later.

 

The Treaty of Versailles proved a disaster, at once too harsh and too soft. Its terms were far less punitive than those the victorious Allies would later dictate to Germany after World War II. Earlier, Germany itself had demanded tougher concessions from a defeated France in 1871 and Russia in 1918.

 

In the end, the Allies proved unforgiving to a defeated Germany in the abstract but not tough enough in the concrete.

 

One ironic result was that the victorious but exhausted Allies announced to the world that they never wished to go to war again. Meanwhile, the defeated and humiliated Germans seemed all too eager to fight again soon to overturn the verdict of 1918.

 

The consequence was a far bloodier war that followed just two decades later. Eventually, “the war to end all wars” was rebranded “World War I” after World War II engulfed the planet and wiped out some 60 million lives.

BlackRock Offices Raided in German Tax Probe

Investigation into historical trades has already embroiled several other firms and banks

 

FRANKFURT—German prosecutors searched the Munich offices of BlackRock Inc. BLK +0.07% drawing the world’s largest asset manager into a long running criminal tax-fraud investigation that has already embroiled several other financial firms.

 

The probe centers on historical so-called cum/ex transactions which are trades executed during the handful of days before and after scheduled dividend-payment dates.

 

A spokesman for BlackRock said the company was “fully cooperating with a continuing investigation relating to cum/ex transactions in the period 2007-2011.” A person familiar with the investigation said BlackRock, whose offices were raided Tuesday, hasn’t been accused of tax fraud.

 

Cum/ex transactions typically involve banks, brokerage firms, hedge funds and wealthy individuals entering into agreements to buy, borrow and sell shares during a brief window of time around a dividend payout. The carefully coordinated timing of the transactions has allowed many parties to claim a refund for taxes paid on the dividends.
