Jill Stein, the Green Party's candidate in the 2016 US presidential race, has raised over $3.7 million in just over a day in an effort to force a vote recount in the key battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Speaking to Sputnik, Dr. Stein offered details about the motivations behind her effort. On Wednesday, the Stein campaign announced that it had begun raising funds for the three state recount in what it said was a " multi-partisan effort to check the accuracy of the machine-counted vote tallies in these states in order to ensure the integrity of our elections. " Stein cited a host of concerns brought to her by voters, computer scientists, and voting systems professionals as the reason for filing for the recount. Her announcement follows on recent reporting that the Clinton campaign was also considering filing similar hand-count recounts and forensic analyses of electronic voting in the same states. Stein's onlin

The Green Party’s 2016 presidential candidate Jill Stein has raised over $3.2 million in less than 24 hours to fund vote recounts in swing states Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Stein is nearing her overall goal of $4.5 million to cover the recount costs in all three states, and so far the Wisconsin funding has been completed in time to meet the recount filing deadline of November 25. Funding for Pennsylvania's recount is also well underway, where the deadline for filing for a recount is Monday. The fundraising site says that after meeting Pennsylvania’s cost goals, the team will turn its attention to Michigan, which has a Wednesday deadline. Stein, who won about 1.2 million votes in the presidential election, launched an online fundraising campaign Wednesday in an effort to “ ensure the integrity of our elections ” and “ demand recounts in these three states where the data suggest a significant need to verify machine-counted vote totals. ”

The latest years, democratically elected leaders of EU members have been receiving letters from the European Central Bank (ECB), asking them to impose austerity measures and protect the private banks. Two of them that did not immediately obey, were replaced by former bankers, or ECB executives. The rest, were forced to capitulate when they saw their banking system on bring of total collapse. globinfo freexchange 2011 was a difficult year for Silvio Berlusconi. Wrapped up in yet another sex scandal, he does not realize that he is about to be overthrown. Berlusconi was one of the worst, most corrupt Italian leaders. However, he was right when he said that he had been chased from power by means of a kind of coup d'état. Alan Friedman, a Financial Times correspondent at the time, was investigating the revolving doors that connect businessmen and EU officials that participated in Berlusconi's expulsion. As Friedman reveals: “ President Napolitano, as far back a

σχόλιο από failed evolution Τώρα που η Αμερικανική αυτοκρατορία έχει καταληφθεί από το "φρικιό" Ντόλαντ Τραμπ και η Βρετανία από τον Νάιτζελ Φάρατζ και το Brexit, οι "σώφρονες" νεοφιλελεύθεροι "ηγέτες" θεώρησαν ότι έπρεπε να βρουν έναν τρόπο να διατηρήσουν την "υπέροχη" Δημοκρατία τους. Ξέρετε για ποια "Δημοκρατία" μιλάμε. Γι'αυτή που δημιουργεί οικονομικές κρίσεις, που αυξάνει την ανισότητα, που διασώζει τα τραπεζιτικά παράσιτα και που προκαλεί πολέμους για το κέρδος. Έτσι, ο Ομπάμα έπρεπε να αφήσει κάποιον στον πόστο του, για να σώσει αυτόν τον "θαυμαστό" κόσμο από τον εφιάλτη του εθνικισμού και της ακροδεξιάς. Και φαίνεται ότι η μοναδική επιλογή για την ώρα είναι ... η Άγκελα Μέρκελ! Σκεφτείτε το: η Μέρκελ, καλείται να παίξει το ρόλο του παγκόσμιου σωτήρα ενός συστήματος που έχει καταληφθεί πλήρως από την τραπεζική μαφία και από τα λόμπι, απέναντι στον εφιάλτη των ακραίων εθνικιστών

The European Parliament approved a draft resolution equating counteracting Sputnik news agency and RT TV with resistance to Daesh propaganda. The vote on the issue is set for Wednesday. Sputnik spoke with the Executive Vice President of the Eurasia Center Earl Rasmussen as well as the member of the EU Parliament Javier Couso, about the issue. Cold War 2.0 Talking about the EU resolution, Rasmussen said that “ The EU is in panic mode and they are trying to lash out and find an enemy. Historically the enemy was Soviet Union and now they are grabbing at Russia even though Russia and the Soviet Union are completely different. ” Talking about the Russian media outlets, Rasmussen said, “ The news that I have seen is reporting quite fairly and providing multiple perspectives and I don’t see it as a cause for that. ” He said that this could potentially lead to establishment of organizations that will monitor news, control finances like the situation of RT in UK w

The leader of Colombia's right-wing "No" forces formally rejected the latest peace deal and called for a new referendum Just days before a new peace agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC rebel group is expected to be signed on Thursday, the ex-president and leader of the right-wing “No” forces, Alvaro Uribe, said in a statement Wednesday that there were “serious issues” with the new plan. Uribe went on to call for yet another national referendum on the newest agreement saying “ it is necessary to resort to a national referendum, whether on the whole agreement or at least on those sensitive issues on which there is no agreement. ” In a speech on Wednesday Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos rejected calls for a new plebiscite saying “ after listening to all the proposals and alternatives, and in agreement with the FARC, it’s clear that the most convenient and legitimate path to approve this new agreement is through the Con

Students denounced the disguised but violent repression of their movement by armed and masked men Students from Honduras' National University of Agriculture denounced at a press conference Tuesday violence and threats against their movement as they maintained their three-day-long strike, occupying the university's facilities. At the same time as the press conference, the students at the occupation were attacked by Honduran military and masked men who used bulldozers to attempt to forcibly remove the students, breaking down fences and leaving at least three students injured, reported teleSUR correspondent Gerardo Torres. The strike followed the expulsion of 79 students after they demonstrated against the University's President and Honduras' Education Minister, Marlon Escoto, accusing him of protecting corrupt teachers. The press conference was also supported by Committee of Families of the Detained and Disappeared. The Universit

του Γιώργου Διαγουρτά Ένα από τα επιχειρήματα των πολιτικών, οικονομολόγων και δημοσιογράφων της «κυρίαρχης άποψης» στη χώρα μας είναι πως « στην Ελλάδα απέτυχαν οι πολιτικές των μνημονίων γιατί ποτέ δεν εφαρμόστηκαν, σε αντίθεση με άλλες χώρες που τα κατάφεραν και επανήλθαν γρήγορα στις αγορές ». Μάλιστα ως χαρακτηριστικό παράδειγμα «επιτυχίας των μνημονίων» χρησιμοποιούν αυτό της Κύπρου. Η κυπριακή κρίση ξεκίνησε το 2012 και κορυφώθηκε το Μάρτιο του 2013 με το κλείσιμο για μια εβδομάδα των τραπεζών, το κούρεμα 40% των καταθέσεων πάνω από 100 χιλιάδες ευρώ, την υπογραφή του «πακέτου διάσωσης» με την ΕΕ και το ΔΝΤ ύψους 10 δις ευρώ και τη συμφωνία υψηλών πρωτογενών πλεονασμάτων για τα επόμενα έτη. Αν και διαφέρουν τα χαρακτηριστικά και το μέγεθος της κυπριακής οικονομίας σε σύγκριση με την ελληνική, ας δούμε με οικονομικά στοιχεία την «επιτυχία» του κυπριακού υποδείγματος μετά την επιβολή του «προγράμματος προσαρμογής» το 2013. Πράγματι η κυπριακή οι

Meanwhile, the top 1 percent have more wealth than the poorest half of the world’s adults. As global crises of climate change, forced migration and conflict continue to heat up, battering the planet’s most vulnerable, the age-old story remains true: the world’s rich keep getting richer, and the poor keep getting poorer, and the trend is only expected to continue, according to a new report released Tuesday. The Global Wealth Report 2016 from the Credit Suisse Research Institute finds that wealth inequality is on the rise, with the bottom poorest half of the world’s adults in control of less wealth than the top 1 percent. Meanwhile, the richest 10 percent of the world enjoyed a boost from the 2008 financial crisis and now own a whopping 89 percent of all assets. Vast wealth inequality is a familiar story, but the levels of economic disparity in 2016 remain shocking. “ This huge gap between rich and poor is undermining economies, destabilizing societie

του Άρη Χατζηστεφάνου Ένα ακροδεξιό κυβερνητικό σχήμα με ρίζες στο βαθύ κράτος του αμερικανικού στρατού και των μυστικών υπηρεσιών προετοιμάζει ο νεοεκλεγείς πρόεδρος των ΗΠΑ. Η επιλογή που δείχνει ξεκάθαρα τον προσανατολισμό του Ντόναλντ Τραμπ είναι ο Στέφεν Μπάνον, πρώην επικεφαλής της ακροδεξιάς σελίδας Μπρέιτμπαρτ, που συνδέεται με φασιστικές και ρατσιστικές ομάδες. Ο Μπάνον αναλαμβάνει το στρατηγικό σχεδιασμό του Λευκού Οίκου. Παρόλα αυτά, οι υπόλοιπες επιλογές, που έχουν ανακοινωθεί μέχρι σήμερα, δείχνουν ότι ο Τραμπ δεν έχει ανάγκη να στηριχθεί σε «αουτσάιντερ» και θα αντλήσει τα ακροδεξιά στελέχη της κυβέρνησής του από το πολιτικό και στρατιωτικό κατεστημένο – ανθρώπους δηλαδή τους οποίους ανέχτηκαν ή ενίσχυσαν προηγούμενες προεδρίες. Χαρακτηριστικό παράδειγμα ο αντιδραστικός γερουσιαστής Τζεφ Σέσιονς από την Αλαμπάμα (άλλοτε αγαπημένο παιδί του Ρόναλντ Ρίγκαν), ο οποίος θα αναλάβει το υπουργείο Δικαιοσύνης και, μαζί με αυτό, τον έλεγχο του F
