Papadopoulos says his "entire image has been characterized by a false narrative" http://hill.cm/HIbTOZm

Papadopoulos says his 'entire image has been characterized by a false narrative'

Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos said in an interview that aired Thursday on Hill.TV's "Rising" that his image was damaged by a "false narrative" tying him to Russia.

"For me, it was a sad day to see that that was not presented to the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) court," Papadopoulos told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton.

"My entire image has been characterized by this false narrative that I am some sort of patient zero about a Russian conspiracy and a Russian collusion conspiracy, when in fact I have absolutely no Russian contacts whatsoever," he continued. "I've never traveled to Russia. I don't speak Russian, I don't even have Russian-American friends in this country."

"When I found myself at the epicenter of this conspiracy as somebody who has no Russian contacts, something just did not smell right at all to me," he said.

As a campaign adviser, Papadopoulos was unsuccessful his attempt to set up a meeting between President Trump’s campaign and Moscow. He has pointed to Joseph Mifsud, a London-based professor who told him in 2016 that Russia had "dirt" on then-Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton, before WikiLeaks began releasing troves of hacked Democratic emails.

Papadopoulos pleaded guilty last October to lying to FBI agents about his contacts with Mifsud and other Russia-linked individuals, agreeing to cooperate in Mueller’s investigation. He was sentenced last month to 14 days in prison for lying to FBI agents about his Russia contacts and has since become more vocal about his case.

He said earlier this week he was set up by the FBI, and used as a "patsy for a Russia conspiracy."

Papadopoulos’s interactions with Mifsud, which he reportedly recounted to an Australian diplomat in a London bar, helped trigger the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Russian election interference.

Trump's allies in the House have said the FBI based its probe on a controversial dossier compiled by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said in a tweet this week that Papadopoulos told the FBI there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, and that information was left out of a FISA warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Papadopoulos said he would be telling members of two congressional panels he's set to meet with on Thursday that he was targeted by western intelligence agencies. The former aide did say which intelligence agencies he believed had set him up, or whether they were American.

Italian PM lauds ‘very fruitful’ meeting with Putin

MOSCOW, October 25. /TASS/. Meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin was fruitful marking the beginning of friendship, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said in an interview with TASS First Deputy Director General Mikhail Gusman.

"I am very pleased with the visit," he said. "I was received with wonderful hospitality, that was a very warm welcome. I would say that friendly relations have emerged as well. At the end, before saying good-bye, we told each other about that."

"We spent the whole afternoon together, many hours, discussing multiple issues," the Italian premier went on to say. "Those were issues related to both foreign and domestic policy and bilateral exchanges. That was a very fruitful meeting indeed."

Giuseppe Conte specifically mentioned those areas, in which Italian-Russian cooperation is developing dynamically. "Of course, commercial exchange and economic cooperation are developing very intensively in many areas, for example, infrastructure, energy, agricultural production, processing industry and medicine," he said.

"We should not disregard cultural ties, that’s very important," the prime minister stressed. "I said that there were 50 schools in Russia where Italian was taught at all levels, from elementary to high school. At the same time, Italy pays great attention to the Russian language and Russian culture. From this point of view, these are the key milestones. If we add to that exchanges at the level of universities, at the level of research centers, we can be certain that relations between our countries are very intense.".

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Complete Bulls**t’: Avenatti Attacks Time Magazine Over Interview

1:32 PM 10/25/2018 | Politics

Joe Simonson | Media Reporter

Michael Avenatti denied ever telling Time magazine that the 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate should be a white man, in exclusive comments given to The Daily Caller News Foundation Thursday afternoon.

Shortly after Time printed its profile of Avenatti, where he is billed as the Democratic frontrunner, many on social media bristled at his assertions that his party’s nominee “better be a white man.”

“When you have a white male making the arguments, they carry more weight,” Avenatti allegedly told Time. “Should they carry more weight? Absolutely not. But do they? Yes.”

Yet when asked for clarification by TheDCNF, Avenatti denied ever making such comments entirely. Avenatti even first expressed confusion about the existence of such a profile altogether.

“I never said that, that’s complete bullst. That’s my comment, complete bullsht,” he said.

After a DCNF reporter proceeded to read his alleged comments back to him, Avenatti again denied ever saying such things.

“No, that’s not what I said,” Avenatti replied before hanging up the phone.

EPA Continues to Approve Toxic PFAS Chemicals Despite Widespread Contamination

Such chemicals, like PFOA and PFOS, have been associated with cancers, hormonal disruption, obesity, and immune and reproductive problems.

Even as the Environmental Protection Agency has been trumpeting its efforts to find and clean up contamination from industrial chemicals known as PFAS, it has been allowing new chemicals in this class to enter into commerce, according to data from the agency. The EPA has allowed more than 100 new PFAS compounds to be made and imported in large quantities in the U.S. after it became aware of the health risks associated with them, and many more have entered commerce through loopholes that allow them to be omitted from the official inventory of chemicals and to bypass a basic safety review.

Since 2002, the agency has allowed 112 new PFAS chemicals to be made or imported in very large quantities, according to a list of compounds kept by the agency known as the Chemical Data Reporting database, or CDR. Companies have to report a chemical on the CDR if they make 25,000 pounds or more of it in a year in a single location. At that point, the agency was already working on a risk assessment of PFOA, which it released the next year with the grim warning that the chemical “raised a number of potential toxicity concerns,” and required additional study. “To ensure consumers are protected from any potential risks, the Agency will be conducting its most extensive scientific assessment ever undertaken on this type of chemical,” the EPA assistant administrator said at the time.

Yet, in 2006, just three years later, when the CDR was next updated, the EPA had allowed four more PFAS compounds to be added to the list of chemicals made or imported in large quantities. That year, the EPA arranged to phase out PFOA and PFOS, two of the best-known chemicals in the class, due to evidence that they caused health problems in people and animals and persisted indefinitely in the environment. By 2012, when it had become clear that PFAS had contaminated water near several industrial and military sources, the list included an additional 14 new PFAS compounds made in large amounts. Last year, when PFAS contamination was so widespread that it was described as a nationwide crisis, the latest CDR was released with 19 more new PFAS chemicals

In all, 203 PFAS have been made in or imported to the U.S. in large quantities since 1986, when the first CDR was published, according to EPA data. Ninety-six chemicals in this class are still being used in large quantities, according to the most recent list, which came out in 2016. The total number of PFAS compounds on the market with the EPA’s permission is likely far larger, since the CDR lists only a fraction of chemicals in use. A tally of chemicals kept by the agency known as the TSCA inventory currently includes 1,223 PFAS, 1,013 of which are in active use, according to an EPA spokesperson. These numbers are expected to grow because the inventory is being updated. Of these, 674 were already in use when the agency began tracking chemicals and didn’t undergo any initial scrutiny before being made or used in the U.S.

The CDR, which listed 8,707 chemicals in 2016, represents just over 10 percent of the most recent TSCA inventory, which included some 85,000 chemicals, though that proportion may change after the update of the inventory is completed in a few months. A recent study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development identified 4,730 unique identifying numbers associated with PFAS chemicals currently in use worldwide.

Roger Stone tried to secure pardon for Julian Assange

Roger Stone, a Republican operative and former adviser to President Trump, tried to secure a pardon for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange earlier this year, telling an associate not to “fuck it up.” “I am working to get JA a blanket pardon,” Stone wrote in a January text message to Randy Credico, a comedian who Stone has identified as his backchannel to WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaign. “It’s very real and very possible. Don’t fuck it up,” Stone continued. Later he added, “Something very big about to go down.”

The messages were obtained by Mother Jones, which reported Thursday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s team is investigating Stone’s push for a pardon. Stone, who has not been publicly charged with a crime in the Russia investigation, confirmed the pardon effort to the Washington Examiner. “I never communicated directly to the President but did mail him my DAILY CALLER piece and I did urge my friend Andrew Napolitano to write to him,” Stone said in an email to the Washington Examiner. Credico, who denies being Stone’s backchannel to WikiLeaks, said Stone repeatedly discussed an effort to secure a pardon and claimed that he had been working with Napolitano, a Fox News personality, on a plan in which Napolitano would suggest the idea on his show or directly to Trump. Napolitano denied working with Stone to win a pardon for Assange. Sam Nunberg, a former Trump campaign aide, told Mother Jones that prosecutors have asked him if Stone “ever discussed pardons and Assange.” Nunberg said he had not heard Stone bring up the topic. Stone floated the idea in an August interview with the Washington Examiner. Stone said then that he had not spoken with Trump about pardoning Assange.

DEMOCRATIC PAC TO SPEND OVER $3 MILLION TO TRY AND HELP MENENDEZ IN LAST-MINUTE EFFORT

A Democratic PAC plans to spend over $3 million in a last-minute effort to help New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez in a tight race in the deep blue state just weeks before the Nov. 6 midterm elections.

The news comes as Menendez and his Republican opponent Bob Hugin’s race is tighter than expected, as Menendez was ahead in the polls by just over seven points as of Thursday, according to Real Clear Politics. The Senate Majority PAC is set to spend $3.05 million on a TV advertisement in support of Menendez that will air on New York and Philadelphia channels.

The Senate Majority PAC spent another $3 million dollars on a TV advertisement on Oct. 16 that attacked Hugin for allegedly spending his own money on his campaign and mentioned the amount of money he earned while working for a pharmaceutical company.

Hugin has labeled Menendez as a “hypocrite” in an ad for believing Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual assault accuser even though Menendez faced allegations of sexual relations with minors.

Nick Iacovella, the press secretary for Hugin, said in a statement to The Daily Caller News Foundation… more here

Chelsea Clinton open to political office 'if someone were to step down or retire'

Chelsea Clinton gave the clearest indication yet that she is open to a career in politics. Speaking to a local news outlet before a book event in Scarsdale, N.Y., Clinton laid out her conditions. "I think if someone were to step down or retire and I thought I could do a good job and it matched my talents, I’d have to think if it’s the right choice for me," Clinton said, according to the Journal News of Westchester County.

Asked why she isn't among the record number of women running for office this year, Clinton admitted she's thought about it. "I don’t have any plans to run for office, but it is something I think about as I hope every young person thinks about it. If you care about what’s happening in the world, you have to care about running for and holding elected office. I hope it’s a question that we ask ourselves," she said. "For me, I live in a neighborhood in the city and in a state where I feel my family, and what I hope for the world, is well-represented."

Chelsea Clinton, the 38-year-old daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, previously expressed an openness to run for office, but up until now indicated she had zero plans to do so. "For me it's a definite no now, but it's a definite maybe in the future because who knows what the future is going to bring?" Clinton said in August during an appearance at the Edinburgh International Book Festival when asked about the prospect of a run for public office, according to the Press Association. Clinton, who works at the family's humanitarian foundation, has been making public appearances to promote her children's book, She Persisted.

British Airways owner IAG said that a further 185,000 customers may have had their personal details stolen in a cyber attack earlier this year

London (AFP) - British Airways owner IAG on Thursday said that a further 185,000 customers may have had their personal details stolen in a cyber attack earlier this year.

This includes the holders of 77,000 payment cards whose name, billing address, email address, card payment information have potentially been compromised.

A further 108,000 people's personal details without card verification value have also been compromised, the airline said in a statement.

"While British Airways does not have conclusive evidence that the data was removed from its systems, it is taking a prudent approach in notifying potentially affected customers, advising them to contact their bank or card provider as a precaution," it said.

The company, which has promised to compensate any affected customers, said there had been no verified cases of fraud since its first announcement about the cyber attack in September.

BA at the time took out full-page adverts in the UK newspapers to apologise to customers and called the theft "a very sophisticated, malicious, criminal attack on our website".

The company could be expected to comment further on the attack when IAG publishes its third quarter results on Friday.

The attack came after previous IT woes, including a worldwide system outage last year that affected thousands of customers.

Militarization of Arctic: Issue of Incredible Importance Not Given Due Attention to

Authored by Alex Gorka via The Strategic Culture Foundation:

Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific are not the only potential theaters of military operations. The Arctic is an area of geopolitical rivalry. The situation there is undeservedly kept out of media spotlight. Meanwhile, 2018 has brought new record lows in the extent of sea ice in the region.

Russia has presented a 1.2 million square kilometers Arctic claim to the UN. Under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a Coastal state may claim rights to the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles by presenting scientific proof that it is a natural prolongation of its continental margin. The Russian Coastal exclusive economic zone can be extended, giving the state exclusive rights to exploit natural resources in the seabed and the ocean. Actually, Russia sits on $8.5 trillion oil reserves.

Moscow considers the Northern Sea Route (NSR) lying east of Novaya Zemlya and specifically running along the Russian Arctic coast from the Kara Sea, along Siberia, to the Bering Strait as the water area within Russia’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in accordance with Article 234 of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. This article grants all littoral states the right, within their exclusive economic zones (200 nautical miles), to pass non-discriminatory laws and regulations concerning navigation in ice-field areas. The US is a signatory but Congress has not ratified the document. Washington does not recognize the Russia’s claims and seeks to internationalize the region.

The US, Canada, Denmark and Norway have their own claims. The Arctic is believed to hold more than $22 trillion worth of resources hidden beneath the ice, including 90 billion barrels of oil and 47 trillion cubic meters of natural gas. It’s only natural for states to have disputes as long as they are addressed on the basis of international law through negotiations. But the gradual escalation of tensions in the Arctic is a fact.

Mueller Locked In Strange Legal Dispute With Mystery Grand Jury Witness

A strange case is working its way through the DC Circuit court which appears to involve special counsel Robert Mueller and a mystery grand jury witness, according to Politico.

It's unclear exactly what the two sides are fighting over, but the case appears to resemble a separate legal battle involving an associate of Trump ally Roger Stone, Andrew Miller, who is fighting a Mueller subpoena. Miller's lawyers are using the case, slated to be argued at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals early next month, to mount a broad legal assault on Mueller's authority as special counsel.

In the more shadowy case, which involves an unknown person summoned before a grand jury this summer, the D.C. Circuit on Monday set a separate round of arguments for Dec. 14.

The case traveled in recent months from U.S. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, back down to Howell and back up again to the appeals court with most details shrouded in secrecy, another indication that much of Mueller's activity is taking place behind the scenes and is rarely glimpsed by the press or public. -Politico

There is no specific mention of Mueller or his team on the two dockets for the mystery grand jury fight, however earlier this month, a Politico reporter staking out the court clerk's office on the due date for a key filing in the dispute observed a man request a copy of the special counsel's latest sealed filing in order to craft a response. "The individual who asked for the secret filing declined to identify himself or his client and replied “I’m OK” when offered a reporter’s business card to remain in touch," Politico reports.

Three hours later, a sealed response was submitted in the grand-jury dispute. Meanwhile on Wednesday "another detail emerged" which suggests that the secret legal battle is with Mueller; a Trump-appointed Judge with a potential conflict of interest in the Russia case bowed out of a decision in the case.

The first appeal appears to have been rejected by a D.C. Circuit panel as premature. The witness's lawyers asked the full bench of the appeals court to review that decision but a notation in court files says only nine of the court's 10 active judges participated. Bowing out was Judge Greg Katsas, the court's only member appointed by President Donald Trump.

Katsas served as a deputy White House counsel before Trump tapped him for the powerful D.C. Circuit last year. At Katsas's confirmation hearing, he acknowledged working on some issues related to the Russia investigation and signaled he would take a broad view of his recusal obligations stemming from that work.

"In cases of doubt, I would probably err on the side of recusal," Katsas told senators last October.

A spokesman for Mueller's office, Peter Carr, declined to comment on the litigation. -Politico

ABC News reporter tries to embarrass Mike Pompeo, embarrasses self

On Wednesday evening, ABC News' foreign correspondent Julia Macfarlane suggested that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was delusional when he blamed the Lebanese Hezbollah for the October 1983 Marine barracks bombing.

He served as CIA director but doesn’t know the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing was carried out by Islamic Jihad. Hezbollah was founded in 1985. https://t.co/HtqW9xFra8 — 🎃 Ghoulia Macfarlane 👻 (@juliamacfarlane) October 24, 2018

Macfarlane is wrong. Pompeo is right. Indeed, Macfarlane's contention is the equivalent of Russia's claim that the GRU officers responsible for attacking Sergei Skripal, his daughter, and two innocent Britons were actually tourists. While the Lebanese Hezbollah did not formalize its existence until the publication of its ranting founding document in 1985, the group was operationally existent from at least 1982. Allies and servants of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's Islamic revolution, Hezbollah received significant financial, logistical, and organizational support from Iran. But as is almost always the case with revolutionary Iran, the support came with significant strings attached. Such was the case in the barracks bombing. While the attack was purportedly carried out by Islamic Jihad, that organization was a bare cutout (or deniable front) for the burgeoning Hezbollah.

The use of cutouts is a go-to tactic for the Iranians and their proxies, in that they believe it allows them to carry out attacks that might otherwise invite retaliation (see the Karbala attack in 2007, the 2011 Washington plot, and the failed 2018 Paris plot). In the same way, Islamic Jihad gave Hezbollah cover to slaughter hundreds of Americans and, as it turned out, successfully push the U.S. out of Lebanon (arguably, President Ronald Reagan's worst foreign policy decision). Regardless, the fact that Macfarlane proudly does not recognize this history (she retweeted her original tweet) is concerning. After all, it really isn't that controversial. The Islamic Jihad cover story is widely regarded by the U.S. and French intelligence communities for what it is: a joke.

In short, Pompeo is right. And for the U.S. Marine Corps, the Hezbollah blood feud was born. Fortunately, the U.S. got some good revenge in 2007 when senior Hezbollah operations officer Imad Mughniyah was pulverized by a joint CIA-Mossad gift.

Pakistan releases top Taliban commander 'at US request'

Pakistan has released Mullah Baradar, a senior Taliban commander, as a “confidence-building” measure requested by the US, which is engaged in so-called peace talks with the insurgents.

Abdul Ghani Baradar, the former right-hand man of Taliban founder Mullah Omar, had been held in Pakistani detention for over eight years, sources said Thursday.

The move is said to be aimed at aiding the so-called peace talks between the US and the militant group, after the two sides agreed in Doha, Qatar to continue the secretive negotiations.

Less than two weeks ago, US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad met with Taliban representatives in Qatar to discuss a "peace" deal.

"Baradar was freed yesterday afternoon and he joined his family," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told AFP in a WhatsApp message.

A Pakistani intelligence official also noted that Baradar was "released a couple of days ago".

Baradar was the most high-profile Taliban leader detained by Pakistan since the 9/11 attacks in 2001. He was arrested in the southern port city of Karachi in 2010, reportedly in an operation that was described as a huge blow to the militant group.

Apart from Baradar, several other senior Taliban leaders were freed this week following direct talks with Khalilzad on October 12, a senior Taliban official told AFP, adding that they believe the releases were made at US request.

According to the official, Baradar will likely stay in Pakistan and shuttle between the group's Doha office, Kabul and Islamabad.

The Taliban announced on October 13 that they would continue talks with the US, even though no tangible agreement was reached in the first round of meeting in Doha.

Washington's repeated outreach to the Taliban contradicts its efforts to link other countries, including Iran and Russia, to the militant group.

Early this week, the US Treasury Department blacklisted nine men, including two Iranian military officers, over allegations that they were "linked with the Taliban".

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin claimed that the Iranians were providing financial and material support to the Taliban.

Washington has a long history of liaison with the Taliban, starting with the militant group's years of war with the Soviets over their occupation of Afghanistan.

Following the Soviet withdrawal, the US saw the group as a counterbalance to Iran's Islamic Republic and maintained its links with the Taliban.

The Taliban government, however, was toppled during the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 because the group refused to expel the al-Qaeda which Washington blames for the 9/11 attacks.

Senior US politicians have said the CIA also created al-Qaeda with the help of British, Pakistani and Saudi intelligence agencies to counter Iran.

DID THE U.S JUST RECOGNIZE CRIMEA AS RUSSIA? KIEV UP IN ARMS

Published on: Oct 25, 2018 @ 12:06 – Did John Bolton, the career Russophobic ‘war hawk’ at large, just accidentally recognize Crimea as Russia? It appears so. And it may not be so accidental given the realities of the present situation. US Secretary of Defense James Mattis had previously just done the same in a joint meeting with Sergei Shoigu.

Yesterday, US National Security Adviser to the President John Bolton was on Red Square in Moscow and paid tribute to the victims of the massacre of students and teachers in Russian city Kerch, on the Crimean peninsula, formerly part of post-Soviet Ukraine.

The US Embassy in the Russian Federation actually reported this in their twitter.

“John Bolton laid flowers in memory of the victims of the terrible tragedy that happened last week at the Kerch Polytechnic College,” the report says.

Also, the American Embassy posted the appropriate photo.

In the picture you can see that, along with Bolton, the US Ambassador to the Russian Federation John Huntsman also honored the memory of the citizens of Russia who died in Kerch. This makes three top U.S representatives giving their condolences to Russia, not Ukraine, over the shooting at Kerch.

Earlier, the Ukrainian chattering class of nationalist/liberal pundits and politicos chose to ignore reports that Mattis, during a meeting with his Russian counterpart Shoigu, also expressed condolences over the tragedy in Kerch, thus pointing to the Crimea as Russia. With Bolton’s ‘clarification’ on the U.S position, it’s clear that this is something Ukropians can’t ignore now.

After that, Kiev political analysts have admitted that, by doing this, the United States showed that they recognized the Russian status quo of the Crimea.

Interestingly, it was on on this same trip that Bolton admitted that he came to Putin not bearing a message of peace.

Putin joked on Tuesday with Bolton about the undiplomatic nature of his diplomatic visit in the Kremlin.

“… It is sometimes surprising to see how the United States is taking absolutely unprovoked steps towards Russia, which we cannot call friendly. We don’t even practically respond to any of your steps – no, it’s all going on, going on, ” Putin said, according to the Russian government press agency.

“As I recall, an eagle is depicted on the coat of arms of the United States: on the one hand, he holds 13 arrows, and on the other hand, an olive branch as a sign of a peace-loving policy [branch] with 13 olives. Question: has your eagle already eaten all the olives, are there only arrows left? ”, the Russian president jabbed.

“… I didn’t bring the olive branch and olives with me,” admitted Bolton.

“I knew that,” Putin answered, and those in the room laughed.

Putin said he was ready to meet with his American counterpart Donald Trump during a conference in Paris.

“Of course, President Trump will be very pleased to meet with you in Paris … Despite the differences that exist between us in accordance with the national interests of each country, however, it is very useful for us to meet and find those points of contact that may be for us useful,” Bolton assured.

Journalists accuse Trump of inciting violence against the press

At least 200 journalists, most of them retired or semi-retired, have signed on to a letter condemning President Trump’s attacks on the media and accusing him of inciting violence against the press.

“Trump’s condoning of political violence is part of a sustained pattern of attack on a free press — which includes labeling any reportage he doesn’t like as ‘fake news’ and barring reporters and news organizations whom he wishes to punish from press briefings and events,” the open letter reads.

The journalists, many from ABC News, criticize Trump for his recent comments praising Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) as “my guy” while discussing Gianforte’s body-slam of Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs last year.
