 News and commentary round up
From the Washington Examiner: 'Prepper' Obama: Says nation is on its own, preparing is your 'duty' [Ed: what is it with heads of state telling people to take care of themselves? The trend began with Merkel.]

From Zero Hedge: Why Is The DHS Preparing To Take Control Of The US Election? [Ed: as cynical as I am about politics, I didn't see this one coming. I hope they cannot pull it off.]

From CNBC: No, reports on Clinton's health are not conspiracy theories [Ed: reprint from The Hill. It is good to see some media coverage rather than censorship of this issue.]

From the Register: FBI Director wants 'adult conversation' about backdooring encryption: How about f**k off – is that adult enough?

From the Washington Post: Your dog really does know what you’re saying, and a brain scan shows how. [Ed: I've featured this study before but the Wapo coverage is more complete.]

From Forbes: DEA Argues That Public Comment Is Unnecessary Before Kratom Ban [Ed: I hadn't heard about this drug until it started making the news. It seems like a very useful non-addictive alternative to opiates and reputed to help people kick heroin.]

From Reuters: Who is hacking U.S. election databases and why are they so difficult to identify? [Ed: it could be more useful to the powers-that-be to vague up the facts and keep saying "Russia" a lot.]

From Gateway Pundit: Trump Website CRASHES Due to HIGH VOLUME of Donors After Immigration Speech [Ed: meanwhile all you hear from mainstream media is how disastrous for him that speech was.]

From CounterPunch: Ukraine and the Dumbed-Down New York Times Columnist [Ed: Lambasted Trump for 'false' statement that was true.]

From Breitbart: Assange: Media ‘Erecting a Demon’ by Protecting Hillary Clinton And a related item from WorldNetDaily: Assange: There's 'demon' at work in America. WikiLeaks founder charges 'liberal press' with creating 'hysteria'

From the Sun: Facebook Satellite Burns on Pad [Ed: $200m satellite]
