News Story of the Day: in the latest batch of emails from WikiLeaks pertaining to the Hillary Clinton campaign, it was revealed that Clinton told a Goldman Sachs conference that she wants to install defence missiles and warships in the Asian region.
Clinton told bankers that she wants China to control North Korea or the United States would have to arm the region as a matter of national defense.
“So China, come on. You either control them or we’re going to have to defend against them,” she purportedly told a Goldman Sachs conference in June 2013.
It’s rather apparent that the U.S. government and Clinton are not big fans of China, which is one of the reasons why the American elite are adamant of passing the Trans-Pacific Partnership (SEE: Why everyone should be afraid of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)).
Chart of the Day: as the mainstream media continue to harp on Republican nominee Donald Trump’s sexual comments, everyone else seems to be rather interested in the WikiLeaks document dump pertaining to the Hillary Clinton campaign. The emails have been pretty juicy, and the details are making the rounds. Here is a chart looking at the Google trends:

Illustration of the Day: the government transparency organization has really allowed the general public to take a look behind the scenes of the Clinton campaign. Everything from media collusion to Clinton’s “public position” and “private position,” WikiLeaks has released a large volume of documents showcasing her corruption.
Quote of the Day: many of Donald Trump’s supporters and Republicans chastized WikiLeaks and Julian Assange years ago, especially when the organization released documents about the Iraq War and the National Security Agency (NSA). The Democratic base cheered on WikiLeaks and Assange. Today, those same GOP members are celebrating WikiLeaks, while those same Democrats are calling it a demon pawn of Vladimir Putin.
Glenn Greenwald does a great job highlighting this hypocrisy in a superb op-ed this week:
“WikiLeaks has always been somewhat controversial, but reaction has greatly intensified this year because many of its most significant leaks have had an impact on the U.S. presidential election and, in particular, have focused on Democrats. As a result, Republicans who long vilified the group as a grave national security threat have become its biggest fans (“I love WikiLeaks,” Donald Trump gushed last night, even though he previously called for Edward Snowden to be executed), while Democrats who cheered the group for its mass leaks about Bush-era war crimes now scorn it as an evil espionage tool of the Kremlin.”
Video of the Day: Fox Business Network has done a pretty good job in this segment that highlight some of the important details surrounding the collusion between the Clinton campaign and the mainstream media. Here is the clip:
