Frankly the most important part is near the start, where you see Assange specifically saying that he doesn’t use hacked materials and that the DNC is using a “Neo-McCarthyist” set of tactics. But the whole thing is very good.

Russian response to US accusations of a Russian attack on an aid convoy
Now there is a video which appears to show fragments of the missile that hit the convoy.
Is this from a Hellfire?
A few thoughts on events of the past few days
So two major events have taken place. Nice, obviously, and the failed Turkish coup, probably engineered by Gulen and therefore the possible outcomes were all bad. Gullen would be every bit as bad as Erdogan except possibly Gulen is a better salesman of Islamic norms so would be more effective than the current Turkish despot at spreading the disease which is Islam.
Nice of course was a prelude to a teddy bear picnic. Here in Ottawa, the French embassy had the flags of France and Europe at half mast and a few bored looking overpaid members of the Ministry of Truth were hanging around looking for a photo op with the embassy talking head.
The CBC of course is sending out the message that the best thing about the Attack was Muslims and the real victims of this attack are Muslims and that the really sad thing is that Muslims aren’t fully accepted in France and we should use this attack in Nice to focus on ponying up more rights and freedoms and customs and culture to make France more like Saudi Arabia.
The response to massive Islamic terror is a formula now.
The response to a geopolitical event like a coup, always has been. Now there is a purge. Erdogan and his entitled followers will make the streets slick with the blood of the rebellious. Already a soldier was decapitated on a famous bridge in Ankara.
42 are reported dead already in the cleansing.
Here is an amazing story:
The US airbase in Turkey, the one that contains 80 Nuclear Weapons. How we come to know that would be interesting, I would think thats highly classified information but apparently it has 80 Nuclear Weapons, has been shut down by the Turks. The electricity was shut off and I believe there are access issues as well.
Makes one wonder…
Anyone ever see the movie, Octopussy? Its an older James Bond book come movie.
WARNING: SPOILER ALERT — SKIP NEXT BIT if you want to see it
The basic plot is that a rogue Russian General during the cold war, had an idea. If he could sneak a nuke that had a basic design similar to a US made nuke into a US airbase in Berlin and detonate it, the American and Western leftists would demand unilateral disarmament and then the Russians could roll a few hundred thousand tanks into West Europe and take over under their own nuclear umbrella.
Well what if the Western-left, notices 80 Nuclear Weapons in a US airbase in unstable, coup-riddled, Islamic motivated Turkey. How hard would it be to get Obama to move all those weapons far far away from the Russian border?
Just thinking out loud. After all, Obama only has a few months left of his super-mandate as he explained it to Putin’s assistant, Medvedev back in 2012.

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister said that now is the time to recognize Israel as a legitimate entity in the Middle East, stressing that the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, terror group Hamas, is responsible for fanning the flames of war between Israelis and Palestinians.
Speaking at the world assembly of Islamic scholars in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Saud bin Faisal Al Saud reiterated that the Arab world must also reject Hamas as the representatives of the Palestinian movement, AWDnews reports.

Canada freezes trade with Iran over nuclear program, human rights

OTTAWA | Thu May 30, 2013 3:06am IST
(Reuters) – Canada will freeze all remaining trade with Iran to protest the Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and its human rights record, Foreign Minister John Baird said on Wednesday.
Canada, which has had increasingly poor relations with Iran for more than a decade, had already imposed a series of trade sanctions. In 2012, bilateral trade was worth around C$135 million.
Baird said Canada was particularly concerned by the failure of the United Nations’ nuclear agency this month to persuade Iran to let it resume an investigation into suspected atomic bomb research.

Three explosions were heard in western Tehran on Tuesday, in an area where Iran carries out missile research and storage, BBC Persian reported.
It was not immediately clear if there were injuries or damage in the incident.

Tuesday’s report of explosions came days after Israel allegedly carried out two air strikes in Syria over the weekend, targeting Iranian-supplied Fateh-110 surface-to-surface missiles destined for Hezbollah.

OTTAWA — Canada’s border agency has flagged the possibility of Iranians with “sinister motives” slipping into the country — a warning that came in the months leading to the arrest of two men charged with plotting to attack a Via Rail train with help from al Qaeda in Iran.
An intelligence report by the Canada Border Services Agency said 19 Iranian nationals had been found inadmissible to Canada on security grounds since 2008 — the majority of them refugee claimants lacking proper documentation.
N. Korea may be able to deliver nuke, Pentagon intel says

CNN
(CNN) — The Pentagon’s intelligence arm has assessed with “moderate confidence” that North Korea has the ability to deliver a nuclear weapon with a ballistic missile, though the reliability is believed to be “low.”
Disclosed first by a congressman at a hearing on Thursday and then confirmed to CNN by the Defense Department, the assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency is the clearest acknowledgment yet by the United States about potential advances in North Korea’s nuclear program.
The surprise development comes amid heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

North Korea puts rockets on standby to attack US bases
One has to wonder if NORK isn’t planning to create an expensive front to create opportunity for Iran.
Telegraph:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un last night ordered the country’s rocket units to be on standby to attack US military targets in response to Washington’s announcement that it had flown B2 stealth bomber “deterrence” missions over South Korea.

The North’s official KCNA news agency, the mouthpiece of the Stalinist regime, said Kim signed off on the orders at a midnight meeting of top generals and “judged the time has come to settle accounts with the US imperialists in view of the prevailing situation.”
“He finally signed the plan on technical preparations of strategic rockets of the KPA, ordering them to be standby for fire so that they may strike any time the US mainland, its military bases in the operational theaters in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, and those in South Korea.”
The escalation came hours after Pyongyang claimed that the nation was “burning with hatred” for the US after its show of force in the region.

(Reuters) – South Korean authorities were investigating a hacking attack that brought down the servers of three broadcasters and two major banks on Wednesday, and the army raised its alert level due to concerns of North Korean involvement.
Servers at television networks YTN, MBC and KBS were affected as well as Shinhan Bank and NongHyup Bank, two major banks, the police and government officials said. At least some of the computers affected by the attacks had some files deleted, according to the authorities.
