The EU has developed an internal single market through a standardised system of laws that apply in all member states. EU policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services and capital within the internal market, enact legislation in justice and home affairs, and maintain common policies on trade and regional development.

For the corrupt – this type of geopolitcal arrangement, still in its infancy, operating across the borders of so many nation states on a single continent is a godsend. It provides an opportunity to harmonise and standardise practices in order to reduce risk and ensure even greater success of criminality paying off.

It wasn’t until February 2014 that the EU published its very first report on corruption and calculated that corruption was affecting all 28 nations within the bloc amounting to €120 billion.

It said in a statement Netanyahu, at a meeting with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, "presented Israel's position whereby he is always ready to meet (Abbas) without preconditions and is therefore considering the Russian president's proposal and the timing for a possible meeting". A spokesman for Abbas, who is on a visit to Europe, declined immediate comment.

The last Israeli-Palestinian peace talks collapsed in 2014. With his eye on shifting big-power influence in the Middle East, Netanyahu has visited Russia for talks with Putin three times in the last year, and the two also speak on occasion by phone to discuss regional issues.

The letter in support of Mr Trump, signed by 88 retired military figures, will come as the campaign prepares for a week focused on national security, with a forum hosted by NBC and MSNBC on Wednesday evening alongside Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee. “The 2016 election affords the American people an urgently needed opportunity to make a long overdue course correction in our national security posture and policy,” the letter states.

“As retired senior leaders of America’s military, we believe that such a change can only be made by someone who has not been deeply involved with, and substantially responsible for, the hollowing out of our military and the burgeoning threats facing our country around the world,” the generals and admirals write. “For this reason, we support Donald Trump’s candidacy to be our next commander in chief.”

However, the potential for large-scale attacks have made the use of German military assets "conceivable, even probable," according to Lieutenant General Martin Schelleis, the Bundeswehr's chief of joint support services. Plans to involve soldiers in counterterrorism operations — and the suggestion troops could also be used to beef up security in public places — have proved controversial in a country only seven decades removed from totalitarian rule that's still grappling with guilt from the Nazi era.

A 2012 constitutional court ruling paved the way for the deployment of the Bundeswehr on German streets in the aftermath of an attack. Until then, Germany's constitution had allowed for domestic military missions only under special circumstances — such as natural disaster relief.

The restrictive legal framework was instituted as a result of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's abuse of state powers. Schelleis suggested that a terrorist attack could qualify as "such a grave disaster" to allow the armed forces to support the police. The joint exercises are due to take place in February in four German states.

Back in 2006 the IATP`s report Playing Chicken: Avoid Arsenic in your meat showed that about 70% of the chicken in the US are feed with arsenic. They are given this chemical in order to gain weight faster and the meat to get healthy color. According to the Food and Drug administration about half of the chickens tested have absorbed inorganic arsenic in their liver. Out of this reason they demanded that Pfizer stops producing Roxarsone the arsenic-containing drug added to the chicken food to make them fat and to make the meat pink.

In the Wall Street Journal was stated: “The agency said its recently conducted study of 100 boiler chickens that detected inorganic arsenic at higher levels in the livers of chickens treated with 3-Nitro compared with untreated chickens… Pfizer said sale of 3-Nitro would be stopped by early July in order to allow animal producers to transition to other treatments.”

Although later the FDA said that the presence of the arsenic in the meat is so low that it can’t do any harm to you, the arsenic is proved to increase the risk of cancer. The worst thing about all this is that FDA conceals this information from the public and tells the people that it is safe to consume this food.

At another point during the day, I turned over my television remote and I noticed that it also had “Made In China” engraved on it. It is still Labor Day as I write this article, and so I think that it is quite appropriate to write about our transition from an industrial economy to a paper economy today. Since the year 2000, the United States has lost five million manufacturing jobs even though our population has grown substantially since that time.

Manufacturing in America is in a state of stunning decline, our economic infrastructure is being absolutely gutted, and our formerly great manufacturing cities are in an advanced state of decay. We consume far more wealth than we produce, and the only way that we are able to do this is by taking on massive amounts of debt. But is our debt-based paper economy sustainable in the long run?

Back in 1960, 24 percent of all American workers worked in manufacturing. Today, that number has shriveled all the way down to just 8 percent. No wonder the middle class is shrinking so rapidly. There aren’t too many cooks, waiters or retail salespersons that can support a middle class family.

Since the turn of the century, we have lost more than 50,000 manufacturing facilities. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of gleaming new factories have been erected in places like China. Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture? At this point, the total number of government employees in the United States exceeds the total number of manufacturing employees by almost 10 million…

During this election season, you will hear many of our politicians talk about how good “free trade” is for the global economy. But that is only true if the trade is balanced. Unfortunately, we have been running a yearly trade deficit of between 400 billion dollars and 600 billion dollars for many years… When you have got about half a trillion dollars more going out than you have coming in year after year that has severe consequences.

He said Britain would not turn its back on Europe as it seized the "historic and positive moment for our nation". The Brexit Secretary, flanked by Boris Johnson and Liam Fox, spoke of his plans to get a "unique deal" during negotiations with Brussels. Outlining his 300-strong department's plans Mr Davis said the Government will build a national consensus for EU talks, put Britain's interests first, minimise uncertainty and leave the EU.

He said: "Our instructions from the British people are clear, Britain is leaving the EU. The mandate for that course is overwhelming." Making his first appearance at the despatch box since 2008, he said: "We can get the right trade policy, we can create a more dynamic economy." We want to make sure our regulatory environment helps rather than hinders workers, controls numbers and encourages the brightest and best to come to this country. We do not see Brexit as ending our relationship with Europe, it's about starting a new one."

New documents leaked to the media have found two other would-be attackers – Algerian Adel Haddadi and Pakistani Muhammad Usman – also planned to unleash jihad on the French capital. The pair were given fake Syrian passports and smuggled into Europe using the same route refugees have been using to escape the war-torn country.

The jihadis were only stopped when Greek authorities found them using fake passports – with the delay meaning they could not take part in the deadly Paris attack. Another shocking revelation from the 90,000 pages of intelligence found one suspected terrorist linked to the Paris attacks, Abid Tabaouni, remained at large for eight months before being arrested by authorities.

The new documents unveiled the true extent to which the evil cult use social media platforms such as Viber, Telegram and WhatsApp to co-ordinate their attacks. One app even let the terrorists pick their own phone number, allowing them to throw any intelligence services off their trail. The co-ordinators of the attacks were careful not to tell jihadis too much information at each step, only giving operatives as much money and information at each step as necessary.

He made the remarks just 24 hours before Barack Obama insisted the pair were negotiating 'around the clock' to stop the violence in Syria. 'Our relations are, regretfully, in a pretty frozen state, and I think it's not our fault,' Putin said on Saturday.

'We expected that this openness will have a similar reaction from our partners. But … they've gazed into the magic crystal of national interests and understood it their way — now that the Soviet Union has fallen apart, we need to finish Russia off,' he added. 'If this logic will persist, I don't expect any thawing. But if our partners will agree with a different logic, one of considering mutual interests, of respecting each other's interests, then our relations will change, too.'

Putin went on to say that Russia is not to blame for the annexation of the Crimea or Eastern Ukraine. He also hinted that the US backed the revolution that led to the diplomatic upheaval in 2014. 'The Ukrainian crisis wasn't our fault. It wasn't us who supported the anti-constitutional coup in Ukraine,' he said.

Pointing to recent crashes of two F/A-18 Hornet jetfighters during training exercises that left one Marine pilot dead, a Fox News TV report stated on Saturday that such accidents are becoming more frequent amid growing concerns that “insufficient training and an aging fleet hobbled by a shortage of spare parts” are contributing factors.

“They are going up partly because they are not getting the training they should get. They’re going up because maintenance is harder and harder to accomplish. They are going up because the airplanes are getting older and older,” said Republican Congressman from Texas Mac Thornberry, who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, in an interview with Fox News.

The Navy, like the Marines, is having a difficult time finding available jets for its pilots to fly and train in - amid more than $100 billion in defense budget cuts since 2009, a steady tempo of combat missions, and a delay in the delivery of the F-18's replacement, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Currently, the report added, of the Marines’ 273 F-18 aircraft, only 91 are able to fly with 88 of them waiting for spare parts.

“I’m here to tell you that vaccines can and do cause autism,” he says in the video uploaded Tuesday. LaHood and his wife tell the story of how their infant daughter Maya suffered an auto-immune reaction shortly after receiving her scheduled immunizations while at the hospital. “It was really bad. It was bad to where I had to tie her down to sleep because she would scratch herself and start bleeding,” Davida LaHood said describing her daughter’s eczema-like symptoms.

The mother and father also recounted their son Michael’s physical and mental changes shortly after getting vaccinated. “He was a very alert baby. He was very talkative. He was very happy. He would smile a lot. He would love for you to look him in the eyes,” she described. “It was like 18 months, it was after a round of vaccines and he just started doing this [winces]. Like a tick,” LaHood described, saying they at first thought it was cute.

“But fairly quickly I think both of us came to the conclusion that that’s not cute anymore,” LaHood said, with Davida adding she was concerned after Michael stopped making eye contact. “There’s a big change right here,” Davida says. “He stopped completely looking at you. He stopped responding to his name completely. And then we started just seeing a lot of other – just motor skills not developing the way they had been.”

LaHood says at the time he spoke to a friend who worked as a scientist for the Merck pharmaceutical company, who told him he never vaccinated any of his four children. “I seek truth. I’m a prosecutor for a living. So I look for truth. I have to follow evidence wherever it leads me. I don’t have a bias. So I took that same approach in looking at this issue,” LaHood says. “At the core of my spirit I hate deception,” he says. “And what has been promulgated on us as a community – even by our own government – is deceptive. Whether it’s intentional, or not the result is the same.”

How? Well, vaccine makers sometimes use animal byproducts in vaccines, products such as chicken egg protein or gelatine that comes from bones. And if those vaccine makers are using animals that come out of factory farms, chances are they are fed GMO and glyphosate laced feed. If so, they would pick up glyphosate into their system just as we humans do.

Therefore, egg protein and gelatine made from these animals may also contain glyphosate, which in turn would then contaminate the vaccines that use these products. Finally, people, or animals, vaccinated with these products would have glyphosate directly injected into them, and will in due course have glyphosate initiating a cascade of diseases.

Anthony Samsel was not passing opinion on this. Rather, he collected vast samples of these popular vaccines and got them tested by multiple labs in USA for presence of glyphosate, and found, as he suspected, the vaccines to be largely contaminated by it. He has already alerted his Senator, as well as various government and international organizations such as CDC, FDA and WHO.

Mrs Merkel's CDU could muster only a pitiful 19.2 per cent of the vote compared to the victorious AfD's 21 per cent, leading to growing scepticism about Merkel's ability to cling onto power in Germany after her party also lost three elections to the AfD in March.

After the AfD win, the party leader Frauke Petry said: "We have made history here today. This is a slap in the face for Merkel - not only in Berlin but also in her home state. The voters made a clear statement against Merkel's disastrous immigration policies. This put her in her place."

Mrs Merkel's migrant policy is solely to blame for her staggering defeat, according to the regional AfD leader, Leif-Erik Holm. He said: "The only issue voters care about right now is (Merkel's) irresponsible migrant policies. It's not what people want. I think this is the beginning of the end of Merkel."

The news comes as it was revealed the bank's profits dropped by 98 per cent in July and its share price reached lows not seen since before 2002. Now Dominic Konstam, Deutsche Bank's global head of interest rates research, has issued a report that warned a "collapse in risk assets" could cause "panic".

And he said the bank is awaiting on decisions from the ECB to bail out Italy and Japan's proposed "helicopter money" investment similar to that of quantitative easing in order to fully understand what happens next. Mr Konstam said: "The status quo could continue for several years yet – if nothing 'breaks' in the system."

He said: "If the current weak economic environment persists, we will need to be yet more ambitious in the timing and intensity of our restructuring." The bank has been trying to sell off a stake in China’s Huaxia Bank as it continues to ditch assets.
