Wealth Of World's Ten Richest Men Now Greater Than GDP Of 85 Poorest Countries

Bernie Sanders appears on track to clinch the Democratic nomination to the consternation of the DNC, and every American voter who abhors his vision of a 'Democratic socialist' society has been reflecting on the successes and failures of capitalism. Of course, over the past ten years, there's no question that economic inequality has widened, if only because the Federal Reserve and the rest of the central banks embarked on an unprecedented experimented in loose monetary policy.

Now, as LearnBonds pointed out in a recent report, the cumulative wealth of the world's ten richest people is now larger than the aggregate GDP of 85 impoverished countries.

According to IMF figures for 2019 released back in October, the poorest 85 countries have a combined GDP of $813 billion. For comparison, by LB's count, the net worth of the world's 10 wealthiest individuals is $858.1 billion.

In a bar chart, LB offers a few more helpful comparisons:

Democrat Tom Steyer Ends Presidential Campaign After South Carolina Primary

The Saturday Democratic primary in South Carolina resulting in a sweeping victory for former Vice President Joe Biden, who is on track to secure at least 20 delegates, according to Edison Research.

Tom Steyer, a billionaire activist who has poured over $19 million into South Carolina TV ads, ended his campaign on Saturday after primary results were announced.

Steyer, whose presidential campaign targeted South Carolina's black voters by criticizing inequality in the US that he claims is rooted in racism, failed to surpass in the vote ex-vice president Joe Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

"We were disappointed with where we came out," Steyer said in a speech to supporters.

"I said if I didn't see a path to winning I'd suspend my campaign," he said. "And I can't see a path where I can win the presidency."

The activist went on to say that he joined the 2020 presidential run to fight for racial justice in the US, adding that he will keep up his struggle.

"I'm not leaving. We are already working to figuring out ways to make sure that we stay in South Carolina.''

Netanyahu aide in leaked recording: ‘Hate is what unites our camp’

Natan Eshel heard saying negative campaigning works well with ‘non-Ashkenazi’ voters and that the ‘beast’ Miri Regev is particularly effective at it

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s senior aide Natan Eshel said that “hate is what unites” the right-wing camp led by the Likud party and that negative campaigning works well on “non-Ashkenazi voters” in a leaked recording revealed by Channel 12 on Saturday.

Eshel, a former Netanyahu chief of staff who resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct, continues to work with the premier, leading the previous two coalition negotiations over the past year.

In the newly revealed recording, he can be heard discussing the party’s campaign strategy with an unnamed person whom he is trying to recruit as a political adviser, according to the report. In the tape, Eshel says that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit’s decision to indict Netanyahu in three corruption cases actually helped the premier in his campaign. “He went up by 20 percent” Eshel recalls, though it was unclear what numbers he was referring to.

“If you haven’t stolen, what exactly have you come [into politics] for? We’ve checked this. And to my shock, they [the public] do not understand [this notion] of going into politics to do what’s good for the nation. You go into politics in order to steal and you need to be a man,” Eshel claims, not yet specifying which public he was referring to.

“Now, in this public, I’ll call it… non-Ashkenazi…What gets them worked up? Why do they hate the press?… They hate everything and we’ve succeeded in whipping up that hatred. Hatred is what unites our camp,” Eshel says plainly.

Eshel appeared to be referring to the Likud base of voters from Mizrahi communities, often in the periphery, who have long supported the party.

Unverified Video Shows Turkish Troops Torturing Syrian Captives In Greater Idlib

On February 29, Syrian activists shared a horrifying video allegedly showing Turkish service members torturing, beating and humiliating Syrian soldiers who were captured by Turkish-backed militants in Greater Idlib.

Several armed men who are supposedly service members of the Turkish military can be seen in the video taking turns beating up three captives, allegedly Syrian Arab Army (SAA) personnel.

The brutal beating made some Syrian militants intervene to stop the Turkish service members. Nevertheless, they were pushed to the back. Towards the end of the video, the loud screams of the captives can be clearly heard.

A day earlier, opposition sources reported the capture of several SAA soldiers in the southern Idlib countryside. These reports may have been referring to the captives seen in the torture video.

Earlier this week, southern Idlib witnessed a series of Syrian airstrikes which killed 36 Turkish service members and injured dozens other.

The Turkish Ministry of National Defense has not commented on the unverified footage, thus far. The NATO is also yet to comment on the matter.

As usual, the incident was ignored by the main stream media (MSM). Violations against Syrian troops and government supporters are always underreported in the West, likely because they don’t fit the agenda.
