You will probably not see much discussion of this in the Western, especially U.S. media, however Austria has announced they are overturning the May 22nd election result and will now hold a new presidential election.

The Freedom Party (nationalist/conservative) candidate, Norbert Hofer, lost the election to the former leader of the Greens Party (globalist/liberal), Alexander Van der Bellen, by 30,863 votes (less than one percentage point).  The election will now be re-run.
In between the prior vote (May) and the decision to hold a new vote (July) a reasonable person cannot avoid noticing/referencing the Brexit vote (June). Now Austria will get a do-over, absent of the fraud, and with it an opportunity for self determination.

Hillary Clinton and her entourage (2 law offices, 17 attorneys, 8 political aides, 2 personal consultants) finally broke down and went to FBI Headquarters in Washington DC today for a Question and Answer session.  Questions were about Clinton’s use of a private email server while Secretary of State.
The interview was about whether or not she properly handled classified information on the server. The interview took place at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC. It lasted approximately three and a half hours.

“Secretary Clinton gave a voluntary interview this morning about her email arrangements while she was Secretary. She is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the Department of Justice in bringing this review to a conclusion. Out of respect for the investigative process, she will not comment further on her interview.”
~ Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

We’ve said it before, and we’ll continue to repeat it, watch how deep and entrenched the financial tentacles of Wall Street Globalists are amid the DC politburo.  There is an entire construct of professional political operatives intent on doing the bidding of the Donohue Clan despite the electorate being opposed to it.

Arizona Senator Jeff Flake (Gang of Eight Immigration ↑ usurper, Wall Street Operative and foot soldier for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce) tells Business Insider that congress needs to ignore the voters, defy the will of their constituency, and just pass the Trans-Pacific Trade deal.

[Via Business Insider] The agreement is expected to be put before Congress during the lame-duck session after the election. It’s the critical piece of President Barack Obama’s “pivot to Asia” in foreign policy.

[…]  Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake told Business Insider during a Wednesday interview that Congress is going to have to “suck up” and ratify the agreement because it simply must be done, even in the face of hostile opposition to trade along the campaign trail.

We’ve withheld presenting any consideration the Clinton/Lynch meeting in Arizona until AG Lynch presented her thoughts/explanations on the event.
SHE DID THAT TODAY.
As you can see in this interview (below) directly discussing the matter Attorney General Lynch goes to great lengths to walk through the parseltongue politispeak surrounding her meeting with Bill Clinton.
Pay attention to the phrases she is using.  Specifically note the frequency of:  “raises questions and concerns”, and “casts a shadow over how this case may be perceived”.  Those phrases alone make the ethical case for recusal.
However, against the call for her to recuse herself the next key phrase to focus on is:  “would mean that I wouldn’t even be briefed on what the findings were, or what the actions going forward would be.  And while I don’t have a role in those findings or making those recommendations on how to go forward, I will be briefed on it, and I will be accepting their recommendations.”

There it is. The real motive behind AG Lynch refusing to recuse herself (now that she was caught intentionally meeting with Bill Clinton) can be found in that explanation: (more…)

The situation is still unfolding but it doesn’t look good.  Initial reports state six to eight heavily armed gunmen shouting “Allahu Akbar” have taken approximately 20 to 30 hostages in a restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh at approximately 8pm local time.

DHAKA, Bangladesh — A group of as many as nine gunmen attacked a restaurant popular with foreigners in a diplomatic zone of the Bangladeshi capital on Friday night, taking hostages and exchanging gunfire with security forces, authorities said.

The head of the elite anti-crime force, Rapid Action Battalion, or RAB, told reporters Friday night that they were working to save the lives of the people trapped inside the Holey Artisan Bakery. Some foreigners are believed to be among the hostages. (more…)

In the course of the past week there has been a considerable amount of discussion regarding the meaning of the Brexit vote and the possible connection to a resurgence of economic nationalism that may also play out in the 2016 U.S. election.
Globalists (liberals writ large) argue the Brexit vote is isolated to the U.K and the failures of the EU.  However, some economic nationalists argue the Brexit vote is indeed indicative of a larger awakening amid people who see globalism, corporatism and political influence by multinational corporations, as bureaucratic largesse in a similar vein as the EU system.
I believe the latter framework is accurate.  The U.K Brexit vote has a strong connectivity to a similar sentiment within the U.S. electorate.
