IS HILLARY AND FRIENDS BEHIND THE TURKEY COUP?

 New Ties Emerge Between Clinton And Mysterious Islamic Cleric


A newly-released email and lobbying documents filed with Congress reveals new ties between Clintonworld and members of a network operated by a mysterious Islamic cleric from Turkey.

Connections between Clinton and acolytes of the imam, Fethullah Gulen, could muddle the complex relationship between the U.S. and Turkey, a key NATO ally, if the former secretary of state wins the White House.

As military vehicles rumbled through the streets of Ankara, Turkey's military said Friday night it had seized control of the country, ousting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The dramatic development plunged one of the region's most important countries into a major crisis. Television footage showed civilians coming into the streets in many places, with some waving red-and-white Turkish flags. However, it was not clear who was supporting the coup and who was opposing it.

Erdogan's exact whereabouts were not immediately clear. But he did appear via FaceTime video on the CNN Turk network and called on the Turkish people to resist the military action.

"I urge the Turkish people to convene at public squares and airports," he said. "I never believed in a power higher than the power of the people."

Erdogan said he was on his way to Ankara, the capital, though he did not say where he was when he spoke to the network. Yet it appeared that Erdogan, who has ruled as either prime minister or president since 2003, had been ousted.

A Turkish state television broadcaster read a statement saying the military had taken over the country and that the military was giving the orders. Shortly after that, state broadcaster TRT went off the air.

TESLA KAMIKAZE PILOT

You have to hand it to Tesla. They have no problem admitting that they use their customers as lab rats in testing their technology.



In this instance the test subject lost their life in a beta test using what they call "autopilot" which Tesla then cautions drivers to stay alert and keep their hands on the wheel which completely contradicts the definition of "auto" pilot. This raises a very serious question. Should Tesla be allowed to work out the flaws in their technology using their customers as subjects?


Following a series of crashes, one of which was fatal, Tesla Motors, the automaker known for its high-performance electric vehicles and envelope-pushing technology, is now under intense scrutiny for the way it deployed and marketed its Autopilot driving-assist system.

The company’s aggressive roll-out of self-driving technology—in what it calls a “beta-test”—is forcing safety agencies and automakers to reassess the basic relationship between human drivers and their increasingly sophisticated cars. Last week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sent a letter to Tesla requesting detailed information about Autopilot, including any design changes and updates to the system, as well as detailed logs of when the system has prompted drivers to take over steering.

The most serious of the Autopilot crashes happened in Florida on May 7. According to the accident report, 40-year-old Ohio resident Joshua Brown died in a collision near Williston, Fla., with a tractor trailer that was making a left turn in front of his Model S. Tesla later acknowledged that the car was in Autopilot mode at the time. On June 30, Tesla published a blog post about the accident, stating “neither Autopilot nor the driver noticed the white side of the tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the brake was not applied.”

Autopilot comprises multiple systems (including Autosteer and Auto Lane Change) that use cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors and data to, in Tesla’s words “automatically steer down the highway, change lanes, and adjust speed in response to traffic.” The company also claims the features “help the car avoid hazards and reduce the driver’s workload.”

The Florida crash has prompted investigations by NHTSA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating whether Tesla failed to tell investors about the crash in a timely fashion.

While the exact cause of the fatal accident is not yet known, the incident has caused safety advocates, including Consumer Reports, to question whether the name Autopilot, as well as the marketing hype of its roll-out, promoted a dangerously premature assumption that the Model S was capable of truly driving on its own. Tesla’s own press release for the system announced “Your Autopilot has arrived” and promised to relieve drivers “of the most tedious and potentially dangerous aspects of road travel.” But the release also states that the driver “is still responsible for, and ultimately in control of, the car.”

Consumer Reports experts believe that these two messages—your vehicle can drive itself, but you may need to take over the controls at a moment’s notice—create potential for driver confusion. It also increases the possibility that drivers using Autopilot may not be engaged enough to to react quickly to emergency situations. Many automakers are introducing this type of semi-autonomous technology into their vehicles at a rapid pace, but Tesla has been uniquely aggressive in its deployment. It is the only manufacturer that allows drivers to take their hands off the wheel for significant periods of time, and the fatal crash has brought the potential risks into sharp relief.

"By marketing their feature as ‘Autopilot,’ Tesla gives consumers a false sense of security," says Laura MacCleery, vice president of consumer policy and mobilization for Consumer Reports. "In the long run, advanced active safety technologies in vehicles could make our roads safer. But today, we're deeply concerned that consumers are being sold a pile of promises about unproven technology. 'Autopilot' can't actually drive the car, yet it allows consumers to have their hands off the steering wheel for minutes at a time. Tesla should disable automatic steering in its cars until it updates the program to verify that the driver's hands are on the wheel."

Companies must commit immediately to name automated features with descriptive—not exaggerated—titles, MacCleery adds, noting that automakers should roll out new features only when they're certain they are safe.

“Consumers should never be guinea pigs for vehicle safety 'beta' programs,” she says. “At the same time, regulators urgently need to step up their oversight of cars with these active safety features. NHTSA should insist on expert, independent third-party testing and certification for these features, and issue mandatory safety standards to ensure that they operate safely."

WHAT PRESS?

The Mainstream Media propaganda machine has a lot of nerve complaining that they are being mistreated when most of the abuse to the "news media" is self inflicted.



For the most part there is no such thing as just "reporting the news" in an objective, professional manner.



What viewers are subjected to today are commercial-filled , hyped up "reality TV" stuffed full of not very good "wanna be" actors who perform mostly for each other and self gratification; much like what is fondly referred to as a "circle jerk."



This year has been much worse because of the media tycoons who are threatened by an anti-establishment outsider (Donald Trump) that they have dedicated their influence and money to literally bombarding Trump with mountains of petty BS in order to bring him down.



Problem is, voters are wise to it and not paying much attention; drowning it out on social media.

WHY ARE AMERICANS SETTLING?

It's absurd. Americans are unable to select presidential candidates that they; the "people" want to elect. 

More than a third of Republicans say they are disappointed or upset that Donald J. Trump, who crashed the party’s nominating process, will represent them in the fall campaign; an equal number say he does not represent the values the party should stand for.

Democrats are only marginally happier with Hillary Clinton as their party’s candidate. A quarter of Democratic voters say they are disappointed in her as the nominee; an additional seven percent say they are upset. More promisingly for her, three-quarters say Mrs. Clinton stands for the core values and principles of the Democratic Party.

The broad discontent is reflected in the head-to-head contest, which has Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton tied at 40 percent. Mr. Trump’s standing has held steady for weeks at around 40 percentage points, while Mrs. Clinton has polled in the mid-40s in most public surveys.

The latest Times/CBS News Poll was conducted after the F.B.I. rebuked her for her email practices but before Bernie Sanders, her persistent primary rival, embraced and endorsed her this week. So the dip in her standing could be temporary and reverse sharply if the Democrats, who are far more united as a party than the Republicans, pull off a successful convention in Philadelphia.

JUSTICE RUTH FORGOT TO MENTION HILLARY

When the Justice referred to Trump as a "faker" which sounds like a polite way to say liar, she forgot to also mention Hillary which, by all accounts is a much better "faker" than the Donald .



Donald Trump is not a faker. He's the real thing and for the most part doesn't deny it.



Hillary, on the other hand, would have us believe she forthright, honest, and transparent; all of which are "fake" which make her much more dangerous (fake) than Trump.

LOOSE LIPS GINSBERG AND HER FEAR OF TRUMP

I can't imagine why Justice Ginsberg would have a problem with Donald Trump after being best buds with the late Anton Scalia. Now there was a match made in Hell if there ever was one.



It seems that Trump is effective in stirring fear in the most powerful of people which is probably why the "people" like him.

CRONYISM RULES THE DAY AT DOJ

Attorney General Loretta Lynch was brought before the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday to answer questions on the Hillary Clinton email scandal.

However, both Lynch and the committee Democrats had other plans.

During her opening remarks to the committee, Lynch focused on the recent string of police shootings and terrorist attacks that have plagued the United States and garnered national headlines:

“As we grapple with the aftermath of these events, the Department of Justice will continue to do everything in our power to build bonds of trust and cooperation between law enforcement and the communities we serve. That work has never been more difficult — or more important.”

Only at the end of her statement did Lynch comment on the Clinton emails:

“While I understand that this investigation has generated significant public interest, as Attorney General, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on that further — on the underlying facts of the investigation or the legal basis for the team’s recommendation.

But I can tell you that I am extremely proud of the tremendous work of the dedicated prosecutors and agents on this matter.”
