>Billionaires on average became poorer last year as their collective fortunes shrank, even as Asia continued to crank out a new billionaire nearly every three days, a study released on Thursday found.

>Transfers of assets within families, falling commodity prices and a stronger dollar helped reduce total billionaire wealth by $300 billion in 2015 to $5.1 trillion.

>That meant the average billionaire -- there were 1,397 of them, a net gain of 50 over 2014 -- was worth only $3.7 billion, the survey of 14 big markets by Swiss wealth manager UBS (UBSG.S) and advisory group PwC [PWC.UL] discovered.

>"After more than 20 years of unprecedented wealth creation, the Second Gilded Age has stalled," the report found.

>The United States added only a net five billionaires as 41 joined and 36 dropped out of the ranks of the ultra-rich. China alone, buoyed by its tech sector, minted 80 new billionaires.

>It suggested Asia's newly rich could learn from their counterparts in Europe, where old money is especially adept at passing wealth down the generations. Germany and Switzerland had the greatest share of such old wealth.

>Two decades of unparalleled fortune generation are about to make way for the greatest wealth transfer in history, the study also found.

>It estimated that fewer than 500 people will hand over $2.1 trillion -- a sum the size of India's economy -- to their heirs in the next 20 years.

welp,looks like you guys to wait for the deus ex illuminati future cause your leaders are having financial problems right now.

>Scientists in Michigan have found a new dwarf planet in our solar system.

>It's about 330 miles across and some 8.5 billion miles from the sun. It takes 1,100 years to complete one orbit.

>But one of the most interesting things about the new object, known for the time being as 2014 UZ224, is the way astronomers found it.

>David Gerdes of the University of Michigan led the team that found the new dwarf planet. Gerdes describes himself as "an adult-onset astronomer," having started his scientific career as a particle physicist.

>He helped develop a special camera called the Dark Energy Camera that the U.S. Department of Energy commissioned to make a map of distant galaxies.

>A few years ago, Gerdes had some undergraduates visiting him for the summer. He decided to give them a project: He asked them if they could find some solar system objects lurking in the galaxy map.
...
>"We often just have a single observation of the thing, on one night," he says. "And then two weeks later one observation, and then five nights later another observation, and four months later another observation. So the connecting-the-dots problem is much more challenging."

>But they were able to develop software that can do just that.

>The dwarf planet that Gerdes and his colleagues have found isn't the first distant dwarf planet astronomers have found in recent years. Sedna, Eris and Makemake have all been discovered in the past decade or so. Add to that Pluto, which used to be a planet until it was demoted when the definition changed.

Top Clinton aides plotted to use their candidate’s “server moment”—the delivery of her private server and thumb drives of emails to the FBI—to show that the former secretary of state was taking a “big step” to deal with the “email problem,” an exchange hacked from the inbox of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta on Tuesday shows.

Clinton and her lawyer, David Kendall, turned over the server and thumb drives containing copies of her work-related communications to FBI investigators in August 2015.

In an Aug. 8, 2015, email exchange, Podesta, Kendall, top Clinton State Department aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, and several high-level Clinton campaign staffers discussed plans for managing the fallout from the embarrassing development.

“I will send her the statement and press plan so we can present in one document. I have a new thought on potential interviewer—Maria Elena Salinas of Univision. I would bill it as an interview on college affordability and she would ask her a few questions on emails,” wrote Jennifer Palmieri, then the communications director for Hillary for America.

“As you all know, I had hoped that we could use the ‘server moment’ as an opportunity for her to be viewed as having take a big step to deal with the email problem that would best position us for what is ahead. It is clear that she is not in same place (unless John has a convo with her and gets her in a different place),” Palmieri continued.

“Accepting that, I think Univision is best chance for success. We have momentum coming out of Jeb’s women’s health comment and their bad debate,” Palmieri wrote, referring to GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s comment about federal funding for women’s health. “A Univision interview will be viewed as more offense and show that she is confident and not rattled.”

Clinton was interviewed by Salinas for Univision four days later. She was briefly questioned on the issue of her private email during the interview.

Messages contained in a trove of Podesta’s emails made public by WikiLeaks in recent days show how Clinton campaign staffers sought to craft and control the former secretary of state’s message on the issue. The directors of national intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security have accused “Russia’s senior-most officials” of hacking and leaking emails posted to Wikileaks and other sites to influence and interfere with the 2016 election.

An Aug. 21, 2015, email exchange centers on a script addressing Clinton’s email use and shows Palmieri worrying about reporters chasing “tangents.”

“Still think it is way too long and has too many tangents that are distracting and press will chase,” Palmieri wrote of the draft statement. “Also I don’t think it has our core argument that nothing she sent or rec’d [received] was classified at the time. I will make more edits and send back around.”

After receiving an updated version, Palmieri wrote, “Robby’s version is better, but still focuses on the Blackberry, which is weird and press will find suspicious.”

The argument that Clinton neither sent nor received classified information on her personal email has been debunked by the FBI, which found in its investigation that 113 emails on Clinton’s private system were classified at the time they were sent or received. While the bureau faulted Clinton and her staff for being “extremely careless” in their handling of sensitive information, the FBI did not recommend the Justice Department pursue charges in the case.
>>
Clinton said that she chose to use personal email at the State Department because of the convenience of carrying only one device. Investigative materials made public by the FBI earlier this year identified 13 different mobile devices associated with Clinton’s phone numbers that could have been used to access emails on her personal system.

The email issue has continued to dog Clinton’s presidential campaign. The newly leaked emails also show that it raised questions among Clinton insiders.

For example, Neera Tanden, a longtime Clinton ally and head of the left-leaning Center for American Progress, wondered in an email to Podesta last year why Clinton didn’t turn over her private server to a third party.

“Why doesn’t she just turn the server over to a third party at this point?” Tanden wrote on Aug. 12. “Isn’t it going to leak out of the FBI anyway?”

“Done so think about something else,” Podesta wrote in response.

After Clinton’s private email use was revealed by the New York Times in March of last year, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) asked the former secretary of state to give her server to a third party for a “neutral” investigation of its contents. The FBI did not begin probing Clinton’s email use until later that year, after U.S. intelligence officials determined that some emails contained classified information.

The Clinton campaign did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

WHAAAAAAT? lol jk

It's beautiful watching this campaign burn in flames. She's doing as badly as CNN pretends donald is doing.

Wikileaks and James O'Keefe steadily leaking in the upcoming weeks...

Hillary's America documentary is out today...

Trump is on the offensive... Hillary and Bill are rattled as sheit.

And of course, Trump is beating her in the non MSM favored polls (the real ones). That's without the first time voters included, who are usually not polled.

>The chief executive of a website known for the sexually oriented escort advertisements it hosts was arrested on Thursday and charged with conspiracy and pimping a minor after the authorities raided the company’s Dallas headquarters, according to court records.

>The website, Backpage.com, has faced accusations in various jurisdictions of engaging in sex trafficking, and hundreds of trafficking cases across the country have been linked to the site. But this is the first time that criminal charges have been brought against the company or its executives, the authorities said.

>Charges were filed in California Superior Court against Carl Ferrer, 55, the chief executive, and two men who founded the company in 2004, Michael Lacey, 68, and James Larkin, 67.

>“Defendants have known that their website is the United States hub for the illegal sex trade and that many of the people advertised for commercial sex on Backpage are victims of sex trafficking, including children,” according to an affidavit for a warrant filed by Brian Fichtner, a special agent of the California Department of Justice.

>Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general, said Mr. Ferrer had been arrested Thursday on a California warrant after he arrived in Houston on a flight from Amsterdam, The Associated Press reported. The three-year investigation has been a joint effort of the States of Texas and California.

>Mr. Ferrer will face an extradition hearing in Texas that could return him to California to face charges. Arrest warrants have been filed against Mr. Lacey and Mr. Larkin, but officials said Thursday night that neither were in custody.

>Carol Robles-Román, the president and chief executive of Legal Momentum, a women’s legal defense and education fund based in New York, said she had been lobbying for action against Backpage for two years, saying the ads it hosts were targeting children.

>Backpage describes itself as the second-largest online classified advertising service in the country, according to court records.

>“They’re like the McDonald’s of trafficking,” she said in an interview on Thursday night. “They made is so easy.”

>The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said there had been a more than 800 percent increase over the last five years in reports of suspected child sex trafficking, much of it online.

>Documents filed in the case included interviews with children who said they took out ads on Backpage.com after they were forced into prostitution.

>A 15-year-old girl identified as E.S., who said she was a forced into prostitution when she was 13, said Backpage “profits off of women and men,” whether they want to earn money through prostitution or are forced into it.

>“I mean really, coming from someone my age, there is too much access, like it’s too easy for people get on it and post an ad,” she said in court papers.

>A congressional investigation this year found that the website changed some of its adult classifieds to conceal the fact that the advertisements were for sex acts with minors. Mr. Ferrer was subpoenaed by a Senate subcommittee last fall to answer questions about reported child sex-trafficking ads, but he did not show up.

>Ms. Robles-Román said a successful prosecution could help drive such advertisements off the internet. “Backpage.com is an online brothel that provides underage kids to pedophiles,” she said.

>The company’s internal reports showed that from January 2013 to March 2015, 99 percent of its income was “directly attributable” to its adult advertising, Kamala D. Harris, the California attorney general, said in a news release. She said more than $51 million of its revenue came from California in that period.

>Court records said Mr. Lacey and Mr. Larkin each received a $10 million bonus in September 2014. The United States Supreme Court refused a request by Backpage to block a Senate subpoena seeking information on how it screens ads for possible sex trafficking.

>Nearly half a century ago, archaeologists found a charred ancient scroll in the ark of a synagogue on the western shore of the Dead Sea.

>The lump of carbonized parchment could not be opened or read. Its curators did nothing but conserve it, hoping that new technology might one day emerge to make the scroll legible.

>Just such a technology has now been perfected by computer scientists at the University of Kentucky. Working with biblical scholars in Jerusalem, they have used a computer to unfurl a digital image of the scroll.

>It turns out to hold a fragment identical to the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible and, at nearly 2,000 years old, is the earliest instance of the text.

>The writing retrieved by the computer from the digital image of the unopened scroll is amazingly clear and legible, in contrast to the scroll’s blackened and beaten-up exterior. “Never in our wildest dreams did we think anything would come of it,” said Pnina Shor, the head of the Dead Sea Scrolls Project at the Israel Antiquities Authority.

>Scholars say this remarkable new technique may make it possible to read other scrolls too brittle to be unrolled.

>The scroll’s content, the first two chapters of the Book of Leviticus, has consonants — early Hebrew texts didn’t specify vowels — that are identical to those of the Masoretic text, the authoritative version of the Hebrew Bible and the one often used as the basis for translations of the Old Testament in Protestant Bibles.

>The Dead Sea scrolls, those found at Qumran and elsewhere around the Dead Sea, contain versions quite similar to the Masoretic text but with many small differences. The text in the scroll found at the En-Gedi excavation site in Israel decades ago has none, according to Emanuel Tov, an expert on the Dead Sea scrolls at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
...
>>
>“We have never found something as striking as this,” Dr. Tov said.

>“This is the earliest evidence of the exact form of the medieval text,” he said, referring to the Masoretic text.

>The experts say this new method may make it possible to read other ancient scrolls, including several Dead Sea scrolls and about 300 carbonized ones from Herculaneum, which were destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79.

>The date of the En-Gedi scroll is the subject of conflicting evidence. A carbon-14 measurement indicates that the scroll was copied around A.D. 300. But the style of the ancient script suggests a date nearer to A.D. 100. “We may safely date this scroll” to between A.D. 50 and 100, wrote Ada Yardeni, an expert on Hebrew paleography, in an article in the journal Textus. Dr. Tov said he was “inclined toward a first-century date, based on paleography.”

>The feat of recovering the text was made possible by software programs developed by W. Brent Seales, a computer scientist at the University of Kentucky. Inspired by the hope of reading the many charred and unopenable scrolls found at Herculaneum, near Pompeii in Italy, Dr. Seales has been working for the last 13 years on ways to read the text inside an ancient scroll.
...
>>
>Methods like CT scans can pick out blobs of ink inside a charred scroll, but the jumble of letters is unreadable unless each letter can be assigned to the surface on which it is written. Dr. Seales realized that the writing surface of the scroll had first to be reconstructed and the letters then stuck back to it.

>He succeeded in 2009 in working out the physical structure of the ruffled layers of papyrus in a Herculaneum scroll.

>He has since developed a method, called virtual unwrapping, to model the surface of an ancient scroll in the form of a mesh of tiny triangles. Each triangle can be resized by the computer until the virtual surface makes the best fit to the internal structure of the scroll, as revealed by the scanning method. The blobs of ink are assigned to their right place on the structure, and the computer then unfolds the whole 3-D structure into a 2-D sheet.

>The suite of software programs, called Volume Cartography, will become open source when Dr. Seales’s current government grant ends, he said.

>The En-Gedi scroll was brought to Dr. Seales’s attention by Dr. Shor. A colleague, Sefi Porat, who had helped excavate the En-Gedi synagogue in 1970, was preparing a final publication of the findings.

>The former lead singer of the band Blink 182 was in recent contact with Hillary Clinton‘s campaign chairman John Podesta about UFOs, newly disclosed emails show.

>Tom DeLonge, who was the guitarist for the power punk trio best known for songs like “Dammit” and “What’s My Age Again,” emailed Mr. Podesta at least twice. He wrote in cryptic terms about their well-documented mutual interest in more government disclosure about the phenomenon of unidentified flying objects of potential extraterrestrial origin.

>The emails, released by the website Wikileaks this month, also reveal that Mr. Podesta participated in a documentary that Mr. DeLonge is producing.

>It isn’t clear whether Mr. Podesta responded to the messages.

>Mr. Podesta, who has worked in the highest levels of government in the administrations of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, has expressed interested in the topic. And he has long championed further government disclosure around classified files concerning UFOs.

>In one of the emails from 2015, Mr. DeLonge says he would to introduce Mr. Podesta to two very important people involved in issues “relating to our sensitive topic.”

>“I think you will find them very interesting, as they were principal leadership relating to our sensitive topic. Both were in charge of most fragile divisions, as it relates to Classified Science and DOD topics. Other words, these are A-Level officials. Worth our time, and as well the investment to bring all the way out to you,” Mr. DeLonge writes.

>In another email from 2016, Mr. DeLonge writes that he has been working with a former military official.

>“He just has to say that out loud, but he is very, very aware- as he was in charge of all of the stuff. When Roswell crashed, they shipped it to the laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. General McCasland was in charge of that exact laboratory up to a couple years ago,” Mr. DeLonge wrote, referring to the Roswell conspiracy theory that the U.S. government recovered an alien vessel in 1947. The military maintains that the crash at Roswell was a surveillance balloon.

>Both Messrs. DeLonge and Podesta have been quite open about their interests in the topic of unidentified flying objects. The band Blink 182 recorded a song called “Aliens Exist” on their 1999 album “Enema of the State” After the band dissolved last year, Mr. DeLonge launched a new franchise focused around the paranormal and unexplained phenomenons called Sekret Machines. The franchise includes fiction, nonfiction, documentary and music.

>Upon leaving the Obama administration in 2015, Mr. Podesta wrote on Twitter that his “biggest failure” was “not securing the #disclosure” of the UFO files.”

>Mr. DeLonge didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

>A spokesman for the Clinton campaign, without responding to questions about the UFOs meeting, accused the Russian government of interference in the U.S. election. Intelligence officials have blamed groups with ties to the Russian government for a number of hacks.

>“It should concern every American that Russia is willing to engage in such hostile acts in order to help Donald Trump become President of the United States,” said Glen Caplin, adding that it was “disgraceful” that Mr. Trump and his campaign were encouraging the hacks.

Refugees: It Really Wasn't Merkel

>http://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2016-10/angela-merkel-influence-refugees-open-borders-balkan-route
Merkel's critics say the chancellor encouraged hundreds of thousands of people to flee to Germany. But the data tells a different story.

>A question is dividing the country: Did Merkel invite hundreds of thousands of refugees to Germany in September of 2015? The debate surrounding the issue has cast a shadow over Merkel's political future, boosted the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany party in several state elections and poisoned the political climate to such a degree that politicians are routinely insulted as "traitors to their people," even during the recent Day of German Unity celebrations in Dresden.

>Those who hold the chancellor responsible for the huge influx of refugees who arrived in Germany late last year point to three events. The first is Merkel's statement that "we can do it," first uttered during her traditional summer press conference on Aug. 31, 2015. The second is the famous selfie showing Merkel with a refugee, taken during her visit to a hostel in Berlin on Sept. 10. Third, and most important, was Merkel's decision on Sept. 5 to accept thousands of refugees who had set out to walk from Keleti Station in Budapest to Germany.

>The trio of welcoming gestures came within the space of just two weeks. Were they enough to trigger a vast wave of refugees?

>Now, just over a year later, data has become available that can at least partly answer that question. And it shows that the Merkel effect, if there was one at all, can hardly be measured.

4chan is an imageboard Internet site that allows users to post anonymously.
Milo Yiannopoulos, an alt-right hero known for his banishment from Twitter, is preparing a bid to acquire his own social media firm: 4chan.

Launched in 2003, 4chan is an imageboard Internet site that allows users to post anonymously. Its roots were in anime and manga, though it has evolved into much more and has facilitated some controversy, including allegations that it allows for cyberbullying.

The Hollywood Reporter learned that Yiannopoulos, with the help of a wealthy backer, is preparing to approach 4chan owner Hiroyuki Nishimura, a Japanese entrepreneur, with a bid this week.

Contacted Saturday, Yiannopoulos confirmed plans for a possible acquisition but did not offer details.

"As a free-speech fundamentalist and a student of Internet culture, I appreciate how fragile and precious the 4chan ecosystem is and how much it gives to the wider Internet — even if some corners of it, such as /pol/, don't always approve of me very much," Yiannopoulos said.

/Pol/ is a reference to 4chan's political discussion board. It was created in 2011 to replace /new/, which was deleted after it became a haven for self-loathing, misogyny and racism.

"I spoke to my lawyer this morning about purchasing the business," said Yiannopoulos. "I intend to approach the current owners in the next few days with an offer. My philosophy as owner would be very simple: free-speech central, no ifs, no buts."

Excerpts of Hillary Clinton’s previously secret speeches to big banks and trade groups in 2013 and 2014 show her exalting the work of her hosts, hardly a surprise when these groups paid her up to $225,000 an hour to chat them up.

Far from chiding Goldman Sachs for obstructing Democratic proposals for financial reform, Clinton appeared to sympathize with the giant investment bank. At a Goldman Sachs Alternative Investments Symposium in October 2013, Clinton almost apologized for the Dodd-Frank reform bill, explaining that it had to pass “for political reasons,” because “if you were an elected member of Congress and people in your constituency were losing jobs and shutting businesses and everybody in the press is saying it’s all the fault of Wall Street, you can’t sit idly by and do nothing.”

Clinton added, “And I think the jury is still out on that because it was very difficult to sort of sort through it all.”

Clinton praised Deutsche Bank in a 2014 speech for “the work that the Bank has done in New York City on affordable housing.”

While Deutsche Bank has given to anti-homelessness campaigns in the past, it was also cited in a New York State Senate report in January for refusing to maintain foreclosed properties in New York City neighborhoods and costing those communities millions in unpaid fines. Deutsche is also about to face a multi-billion-dollar penalty from the Justice Department for defrauding investors with low-quality mortgage securities, leading to the housing meltdown.

Those excerpts were among many listed in an 80-page document prepared by the Clinton campaign, listing potentially damaging quotes from the Democratic nominee’s paid but at that point still secret speeches. The report landed in campaign chairman John Podesta’s email, which was hacked, and then posted by WikiLeaks last week.

In a November 2013 speech to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), Clinton pronounced herself proud to work with the trade group as a U.S. senator to “look for ways to help families facing foreclosure with concrete steps.”

NAR represents real estate agents, who had no authority to assist distressed homeowners. An April 2007 document lists NAR’s priorities in foreclosure mitigation, and they were able to get an amendment exempting mortgage debt forgiveness from being treated as earned income. But the rest amount to “urging” and “supporting” efforts to help homeowners that never happened.

Clinton has historically been far less critical of the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington than many other Democrats, and as Secretary of State allowed two of her top aides – Tom Nides and Robert Hormats — to receive big payouts from their big-bank employers before entering public service.

“Thank you for lending me Tom Nides for the past two years,” Clinton said to a crowd at Morgan Stanley on April 18, 2013. As The Intercept reported in July 2015, Nides moved from chief operating officer at Morgan Stanley into Clinton’s State Department, and when Clinton left Foggy Bottom, Nides went right back to Morgan Stanley as a Vice Chairman.

Clinton joked about the “culture shock” for Nides, working a government job. “You should have seen his face when he learned there were no stock options at the State Department. But he soon not only settled in very nicely, he became positively enthusiastic when I told him we did have our own plane.” Clinton also gushed about Hormats, who joined her at State after a career at Goldman Sachs, in a 2014 speech at JPMorgan Chase.

In excerpts that got some attention last week, Clinton told bankers that financial reform “really has to come from the industry itself,” that “the people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry,” and that blaming banks for the crisis was “an oversimplification.”

Her former Democratic presidential rival, Bernie Sanders responded in a statement, “Whatever Secretary Clinton may or may not have said behind closed doors on Wall Street, I am determined to implement the agenda of the Democratic Party platform which was agreed upon by her campaign,” and which “calls for breaking up the largest financial institutions in this country, re-establishing Glass-Steagall and prosecuting those many Wall Street CEOs who engaged in illegal behavior.”

The excerpts reveal that Clinton, when speaking to the financial industry, adopted their mindset and privileged their arguments. The question that arises is whether members of a possible Clinton administration will reflect this worldview, or whether the long primary with Sanders has made that untenable. Some aggressive advocates for progressive appointments believe the latter.

“At State and on the speaking circuit, Clinton was in an environment that encouraged her to view Wall Street bankers as fonts of economic wisdom,” said Jeff Hauser, Director of the Revolving Door Project. “But after 15 months running against a progressive populist like Sanders, Clinton knows that government conducted a by rotating stream of bankers is politically unacceptable.”

Barely a news source and more like Glenn Greenwald's legal blog, but I'll let it pass because I know how eager you /pol/lacks are to post Hillary clickbait.
