THE RUSSIANS HAVE RETURNED WITH A VENGEANCE WITH ITS LATEST NUCLEAR TIP MISSILE THE SSN-30A WHILST THE DEMOCRATS POTUS BHO CHAOS DESTROYS THE USA NUCLEAR DETERRENT BY GIVING AWAY THE NUCLEAR STORE–THE RED PUTIN RELEASES ITS LATEST MISSILE WITH NUCLEAR CAPABILITY AS WELL AS IT SEEMS BREAKING THE 1987 INF TREATY BY EXPANDING ITS NUCLEAR DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY WITH A BRAND NEW CRUISE MISSILE

Russia is nearing deployment of a new missile capable of targeting all of Europe with nuclear or conventional warheads, according to defense officials.

Disclosure of the new SSN-30A missile threat comes as Defense Secretary Ash Carter on Thursday warned that Moscow under Vladmir Putin is reemerging as an existential security threat.

Russia “is a very, very significant threat,” Carter told reporters at the Pentagon. “And I think a point that they’ve made, but I would certainly make: Russia poses an existential threat to the United States by virtue simply of the size of the nuclear arsenal that it has.”

Regarding the SSN-30A, designated as the “Kalibr” missile, Pentagon officials said the new naval weapon can be equipped with both nuclear and conventional warheads and can reach most of Europe when fired from ships in the Black Sea.

The longer-range version of the Kalibr can reach between 620 and 923 miles. A shorter range version can hit targets at distances of up to 180 miles.

A cruise missile variant also is being developed that officials said appears to violate the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.

A test of the Kalibr was conducted earlier this month, officials said.

The new supersonic missile is capable of being used to strike targets both at sea and on land.

“This system is about ready to be deployed,” said one official who voiced concerns for U.S. interests and those of allies in Europe. “It allows the Russians to cover most of Europe from the Black Sea on naval vessels.

HYDROGEN POWERED BATTERY TO POWER A SMARTPHONE FOR ONE WEEK WITHOUT A RECHARGE–THE UK COMPANY HAS UNVEILED ALONG WITH APPLE

A British technology company has claimed a major smartphone breakthrough by developing an iPhone that can go a week without recharging, running instead off a built-in hydrogen fuel cell.

Intelligent Energy has made a working iPhone 6 prototype containing both a rechargeable battery and its own patented technology, which creates electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen, producing only small amounts of water and heat as waste.

The company is believed to be working closely with Apple. In what it claims is a world first, it has incorporated a fuel cell system into the current iPhone 6 without any alteration to the size or shape of the device. The only cosmetic difference compared with other handsets are rear vents so an imperceptible amount of water vapour can escape.

COMMUNISTS CAN’T STAND TRUTH EVEN NEWS OUTSIDE ITS CONTROL SIMILAR TO THE LEFTIST IN THE USA WHO CAN’T STAND TRUTH FROM WANTING FREEDOM OF THE PRESS SINCE IT CAN’T CONTROL THE PEOPLES THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIOUR TO CHOOSE THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE–SO THE DPRK (DEMOCRATIC PEOPLES REPUBLIC KOREA) WANTS TO SILENCE THE NEWS BROADCAST ACROSS THE DMZ BORDER AFTER THE ROK (REPUBLIC OF KOREA) RE-STARTING ONCE AGAIN THE FREE BROADCASTS AFTER THE N KOREA PLANTED MINES THAT CRIPPLED TWO S KOREA SOLDIERS–THUS THE BORDER ACROSS THE TWO KOREAS STARTING TO HEAT UP AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE FREE PRESS BROADCASTING OF NEWS TO THE CONTROLLED PEOPLE N KOREA

North Korea is warning the South to stop broadcasting anti-North propaganda across the border though loudspeakers by Saturday or face a strong military counter-action.
The North's deputy UN ambassador, An Myong-hun, told reporters in New York the army does not make "empty talk."
An said the broadcasts constituted "an open act of war" and that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered troops near the demilitarized zone to enter a "quasi state of war."

U.S. and South Korean troops have resumed joint military exercises after a highly unusual interruption.
A Pentagon official said Friday the maneuvers were suspended this week after an exchange of artillery fire between the North and South along the western end of the border dividing the two Koreas.
Assistant Defense Secretary David Shear said U.S. officials wanted to coordinate with the South Koreans after the shelling between the North and South. "When events like this take place, we talk to [South Korea] to get the facts straight about what happened and to discuss how we are going to respond," he said.
Shear refused to give any other details, but said U.S. forces in Korea entered the exercises on an "enhanced" state of alert and remain so.
Tensions grew earlier this month when South Korea accused the North of planting landmines that exploded near the border two weeks ago, wounding two South Korean soldiers. North Korea is accusing the South of trying to provoke a war.

THE TOBIN’S Q FACTOR NET ASSETS OF PUBLIC COMPANIES ON THE DOW MARKET MEANS THE STOCK MARKET CAN WITH HISTORICAL NUMBERS FROM THE PAST 100 YEARS WOULD DECLINE FROM A Q OF 70% WOULD MEAN DOWN TO 12,000, OR A Q OF 57% MEANS DOWN WITH THE MARKET TO 9,500, AND A Q OF 30% MEANS DOWN WITH THE MARKET ALL THE WAY TO 5,000

……As stock market historian Russell Napier points out in his book “Anatomy of the Bear,” on five occasions in the past 100 years — in 1921, 1932, 1949, 1974 and 1982 — those big downward moves have not ended until share valuations have fallen to just 30% of the replacement cost of company assets. That’s using a powerful, if little-known, economic metric known as Tobin’s q.

And, to cut to the chase, if Wall Street stocks followed the same path today that would take the Dow down to about 5,000, and the S&P 500 Index all the way down to around 600. (The S&P 500 slumped more than 3% to 1,971 on Friday.)

Yikes.

The “q” is a valuation that they don’t even mention in the training manuals for the official “financial planner” and financial-analyst exams. Your money manager has probably never heard of it. Or, if he has, he probably ranks it with astrology and the mystic rantings of Nostradamus.

But the “q” happens to have by far the most successful long-term track record of any stock market indicator.

It’s been better than the price-to-earnings ratio or quarterly earnings forecasts or economic growth rates or long-term interest rates or Federal Reserve minutes.

Independent analysts — such as professor Stephen Wright at London University and Andrew Smithers at Smithers & Co., a financial consultancy in London — have tracked it back over 100 years.

And in the past there has been no better guide for the long-term investor. It’s been even better than the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings measure, also known as the “Shiller PE” after Yale finance professor Robert Shiller (which also, incidentally, suggests U.S. stocks could plunge a long way from here).

The “q” looks at the net asset values of public companies and adjusts them for inflation. It makes some intuitive sense. Why would Widget Inc. be valued at $1 billion on the stock market if you could start the company from scratch for a lot less?

Right now, according to data from the U.S. Federal Reserve, the reading on the “q” is about 100%. (It was 106% at the last reading, on March 1, but since then the S&P 500 has fallen by about 6%.)

Since World War II, the average “q” reading has been about 70%. So if Wall Street tumbled just to its modern average valuation, that would take the Dow Jones Industrial Average down to about 12,000.

If we just look at the period 1949 to 1994 — in other words, before the gigantic, off-the-charts boom of the late 1990s — the historic average “q” reading for stocks was 57%. If the market falls to those levels, that would take the Dow to about 9,500.

And if the market fell to its historic bear market lows, namely 30% or so, that would mean a Dow of about 5,000.

DOW CORRECTION IN THE MAKING AS THE LIES OF THE GREAT ECONOMY FROM THE DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO THAT WAS NEVER TO BE GOES BUST WHERE THE IT HAS HIT THE FAN IN YOUR FACE - DOW DOWN 16,459 FROM A HIGH OF 18,351 AND NOW WITH A ONE DAY DROP OF 530 THIS FRIDAY THE 21ST OF AUGUST

Stocks plummeted on global-growth fears for a second straight day Friday in a plunge that dragged the Dow industrials into correction territory.

The global market rout pummeled stocks and commodities as fresh evidence emerged that China’s economy is slowing, spooking investors.

The Dow industrials lost 530.94 points, or 3.1%, to close at 16459.75, putting it in correction territory, as defined by a 10% decline from a recent high. The S&P 500 dropped 64.84 points, or 3.2%, to close at 1970.89. The Nasdaq Composite fell 3.5%, or 171.45 points, to 4706.04.

The Dow’s more than 1,000-point drop this week was the largest weekly drop since the week ended Oct. 10, 2008.

U.S. oil prices also briefly dropped below $40 a barrel on Friday, a level not seen since the financial crisis.

THE SUPERRICH AND US THE NOT EVER WILL BE SUPER RICH ARE ON AVERAGE GET PAID 300 TIMES LESS THAN THE PRESENT DAY CEO, COMPARED TO 1950 WHEN CEOS WERE GETTING PAID ONLY 20 TIMES THE COMMON EMPLOYEE–AND WHEN COMPARED TO AN ASIAN COUNTRY LIKE KOREA WHOSE CEO TODAY GETS COMPENSATED 20 TIMES THE SALARY OF ITS EMPLOYEE–THE WAGE GAP GROWS FROM THE HAVE OF MOSTLY LIBERAL CEO BREAKING EVEN THE 300 TIMES GAP TO THE HAVE NOT SO MUCH THAT IS YOU

The wage gap between company chief executives and employees is becoming a hot-button topic, with the huge disparity continuing to widen.
The salary structures in the United States and Korea show different reward systems for CEOs.
At the same time, there has been a heated debate in the U.S. in recent years whether the astronomical remuneration paid to CEOs is appropriate.
A CNN article published in August reported that Wal-Mart CEO Doug McMillon received $19.4 million in rewards last year, while the lowest-paid workers at the retail giant earned $9 an hour.
“Something is terribly wrong here,” the article read, pointing out that McMillon makes over 800 times more than his employees even after Wal-Mart’s minimum wage increase this year.
The United States has a performance-based system where people are paid salaries based on their achievements, but this has become controversial, as the wage gap is widening immensely.
According to an Economic Policy Institute report last year, 50 years ago, an average American CEO received about 20 times more than the employees, but in 2013 it rose to 300 times more on average. The trend has become stronger since the global financial crisis of 2008, after CEOs asked for more benefits for pulling companies through the economic crisis.
Media reports confirmed that the American wage gap is highly imbalanced.
According to USA Today, Discovery Communications CEO David Zaslav received $156 million as remuneration last year, 2,282 times more than his employees -- earning average wage of $68,397 -- while Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. CEO Steve Ells also received 1,524 times more than his employees. Starbucks chairman and CEO Howard Schultz got 994 times more.

THE PSYCHOPATHS ISIS USES RELIGION OF THE KORAN TO JUSTIFY THE SLAVERY OF WOMEN AND RAPING THEM IN THE PROCESS AS THE RELIGION OF PEACE GETS ANOTHER CHECK MARK FOR IMMORAL AND INDECENCY TOWARDS HUMANITY– AS 5,000 WOMEN HELD FOR THE NUTJOBS CRAZED BLOOD SPORTS ROMANISTIC PLEASURES FOR THE TRUE WAR AGAINST WOMEN CAN THIS BE CALLED THAT EVEN THE DEMOCRATS CAN’T COMPARE THIS ONE TO OR CAN THEY IN THIS NEW 21ST CENTURY

The sickening revelation came as a young Yazidi rape victim in Iraq claimed her attacker swore that what he was doing to her was not a sin because she practised a non-Islamic religion. 

Around 5,000 women and girls from the religious minority were abducted by the brutal regime last year, with the terror group creating a system of sex slavery – which included sales contracts that were processed through its infamous court system. 

The 12-year-old girl has since escaped to a refugee camp after a harrowing 11 months in captivity. 

She said: "I kept telling him it hurts - please stop. He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God."

Another 15-year-old girl who escaped after nine months of slavery under ISIS said that every time her attacker came to rape her "he would pray".

She said: "He said that raping me is his prayer to God. I said to him, 'What you’re doing to me is wrong, and it will not bring you closer to God.' 

"And he said, 'No, it’s allowed. It’s halal.'

MUD SLINGING BRING IT ON THIS 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AS THE DONALD TRUMP FOR POTUS WILL NOT MINCED WORDS WITH FOXNEWS FRANK LUNTZ ASKING FOR YOU’RE FIRED CARD AFTER COMMENTS OF MEAN AND BOMBASTIC OF TRUMP DURING THE GOP DEBATE–AS THE TRUMPSTER FIRES BACK WITH WORDS OF HIS OWN LIKE CLOWN AND LOW CLASS SLOB OF MR FRANK LUNTZ–NO CHRISTMAS NOR NEW YEARS EVE INVITATION BETWEEN THE TWO SHALL PASS IN THE NEAR FUTURE IT WOULD SEEM WITH WORDS EXCHANGES SUCH AS THESE

Donald Trump has a message he’d like to give Fox News political pollster Frank Luntz: You’re fired.

Fresh off his confrontation with Fox News superstar Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump is now lashing out at Luntz and calling on Fox News to fire him from overseeing its post-debate focus groups.

The participants in Luntz’s focus group bashed the real-estate mogul’s performance during the Fox News Republican presidential debate on Aug. 6, calling Trump “mean” and “bombastic.” Trump was quick to criticize the focus group, calling Luntz a “clown” and a “low class slob” on Twitter.

It has now come to light that prior to the debate, Luntz allegedly told attendees at a South Carolina fundraiser that Trump is “addicted” to attention and could hurt the Republican Party, according to Politico.

BANGKOK THAILAND HAS ITS OWN INTERNAL INSURGENTS DOING THE TERROR BOMB IN DOWNTOWN KILLING 20 PEOPLE HALF ARE KNOWN FOREIGN VISITORS

Vivian Chan Wing-Yan, a 19-year-old law student, has been named locally as among the 22 dead in the terror attack on Thailand's capital which Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said was "the worst incident that has ever happened in Thailand". 

She was studying at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London and lived in Hong Kong.

Miss Chan was travelling in Thailand with her friend, Arcadia Pang Wan-Chee, 24, when they were both killed in yesterday's explosion, the South China Morning Post reported.

The pair were among at least 20 people, about half of them foreigners, who died after a pipe bomb went off at the Erawan Hindu shrine popular with tourists, Hindus and Buddhists.

At least 120 were injured and body parts were strewn all over the road alongside the charred skeletons of motorbikes.

DEMOCRACY IS NEVER FREE–DEMOCRACY IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN THE FREE PEOPLE SACRIFICE FOR THE WILL TO ELECT ITS OWN LEADERS AGAINST AN AUTHORITAREAN GOVERNMENT WILL TO SUPPRESS THE FREE PEOPLE IT RULES OVER–AS SOUTH KOREA ONLY AFTER THE 1987 STUDENT UPRISING CALLING FOR FREE ELECTIONS HAS TURNED AROUND ITS CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT TO THE WE THE PEOPLE–DEMOCRACY IS NEVER FREE WITHOUT THE FREE PEOPLES WANTING TO BE FREE

In the chaotic decades that followed the 1945 liberation from Japan’s colonial rule, South Koreans had limited rights to pick their own leaders, express political beliefs, and participate in any form of policymaking.
They lived under the constant threat of oppressive, militant rulers who were desperate to remain in power in the name of economic development and fighting communism.
It was perhaps the state’s strong power that transformed South Korea into a powerful economy for the years to come, but it was the people who established the value of free democracy through decades of struggles and sacrifices.
Through this dramatic history of citizens’ unrelenting quest for freedom, the procedural democracy that guarantees the people’s equal right to pick their own leaders was fully established.
According to the annual democracy index released by the Economist Intelligence Unit in 2014, South Korea is now considered a “full democracy,” along with only 24 other countries out of 167 nations.

However, the nation today has come to face a series of new challenges, with progressive critics and scholars voicing concerns that the country’s democracy is in retreat, as the country travels from the whirlwind era of democratic movements, through the progressive governments, and on to conservative leadership.
Questions are growing over the qualitative aspects of the nation’s democracy on how well the power delegated by the people is being exercised. Debate has also been going on for years over how to revise the Constitution to distribute Korea’s imperialistic presidential power and expand people’s participation in policy development.
The discussion began to accelerate upon the launch of the conservative Lee Myung-bak administration in 2008, over whether the government’s seemingly increasing social and political intervention was a regressing democracy or pursuit of order and defense against constant North Korean threats. Meanwhile, the country continued to struggle to find a balance on how much the state should intervene in the economy since the 1997 financial crisis.

THE CRAB NEBULA BY HUBBLE

 

Explanation: This is the mess that is left when a star explodes. The Crab Nebula, the result of a supernova seen in mysterious filaments. The filaments are not only tremendously complex, but appear to have less mass than expelled in the original supernova and a higher speed than expected from a free explosion. The featured image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, is presented in three colors chosen for scientific interest. The Crab Nebula spans about 10 light-years. In the nebula's very center lies a pulsar: a neutron star as massive as the Sun but with only the size of a small town. The Crab Pulsar rotates about 30 times each second.
