В Госдепе назвали Россию главной военной угрозой для Европы
Филип Рикер считает что российская агрессия сейчас главным образом направлена на Европу. Ранее глава Пентагона Эспер посчитал Россию главным стратегическим конкурентом США
Россия остается главной военной угрозой для Европы несмотря на растущее влияние со стороны Китая. Об этом заявил и.о. помощника госсекретаря США по делам Европы и Евразии Филип Рикер во время слушаний в комитете сената по международным делам.
«Мы не должны забывать, что Европа также является центральным направлением текущей российской политики, ее агрессии и влияния. Хотя ВВП Китая примерно в восемь раз превышает ВВП России, она остается главной военной угрозой для Европы», — сообщил Рикер.
Он отметил, что Россия и Китай сейчас связаны стратегическими отношениями наиболее тесно с 50-х годов прошлого века. «Мы видим, как растет сотрудничество по целому ряду направлений: дипломатическому, военному, экономическому, информационному», — сказал помощник госсекретаря. По его мнению, таким образом Пекин «хочет вбить клин между Соединенными Штатами и Россией».

Посольство России в США выразило обеспокоенность репортажем NBC News, где сообщается, что Вашингтон поддерживает «украинские подразделения, воюющие с российскими силами в Крыму». Они требуют у США разъяснений, связано ли это с террористической деятельностью в России или это ошибка журналистов.
«Заявления в репортаже NBC News относительно участия США в "украинских подразделениях, воюющих с российскими силами в Крыму", были отмечены посольством с глубокой обеспокоенностью. Другими словами, неназванные официальные лица США говорят о том, что их страна поддерживает террористическую деятельность в третьих странах. В данном случае, они говорят конкретно о России»,— говорится в сообщении посольства в Facebook.
Посольство требует от США ответить, помогал ли Вашингтон «напрямую или косвенно СБУ в организации террористических нападений против крымчан», если информация из репортажа — это правда, «а не географическая близорукость телеканала».
В репортаже NBC News журналисты рассказали о наградах талибам, которые якобы выплачивала Россия за убийства американских солдат. По данным телеканала, Москва таким образом совершила возмездие за поддержку украинских подразделений в Крыму.
https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/4494378 РФ продолжает пытаться влиять на выборы в США, сеять рознь и очернять Байдена, - директор ФБР Рэй
В Вашингтоне наблюдают за активными действиями России по вмешательству в президентскую кампанию 2020 года в США.
об этом заявил в четверг, 17 сентября, директор Федерального бюро расследований (ФБР) Кристофер Рэй.
"Я думаю, разведсообщество сходится во мнении, что Россия продолжает предпринимать попытки вмешательства в наши выборы, прежде всего, через зловредное влияние из-за рубежа. На выборах 2016 года они нацеливались на избирательную инфраструктуру, сегодня этого нет, но мы видим очень активные попытки влияния со стороны России через зловредное влияние из-за рубежа", - сказал Рэй.
Так, по данным ФБР, сейчас Россия предпринимает активные усилия повлиять на выборы через соцсети и государственные СМИ.
"Мы не будем мириться с иностранным вмешательством в наши выборы", - отметил он, добавив, что ФБР недавно поделилось информацией с Facebook (SPB: FB) и Twitter (SPB: TWTR) , что позволило им прикрыть ложные аккаунты, связанные с Россией.
Говоря об источниках достоверной информации в интернете, Рэй призвал пользователей обращаться к официальным сайтам, а не ориентироваться на информацию соцсетей.
По словам Рэя, эти попытки, прежде всего, направлены на то, чтобы опорочить бывшего вице-президента США Джо Байдена.
"Россия пытается как посеять рознь, так и очернить Джо Байдена", - заявил Рей на слушаниях в комитете по внутренней безопасности Палаты представителей Конгресса США, цитирует слова Рэя издание DW.

Выходцу из СССР, бизнесмену Льву Парнасу в США предъявили новое обвинение в мошенничестве. Его вместе с Игорем Фруманым задержали в октябре 2019 года за нарушение правил финансирования избирательных кампаний. Оба предпринимателя связаны с адвокатом президента Дональда Трампа Рудольфом Джулиани. Также обвинен в мошенничестве другой фигурант дела Дэвид Коррейа.
«Лев Парнас и Дэвид Коррейа также обвинены в сговоре с целью совершения электронного мошенничества на основании их деяний, не отраженных в первоначальном обвинительном заключении»,— говорится в изменениях обвинительного заключения прокуратуры (цитата по ТАСС).
Напомним, господина Парнаса и других фигурантов дела обвиняют в привлечении иностранных средств для финансирования предвыборных кампаний в США. Утверждается, что он вместе с господином Фруманым также пытался добиться отставки Мари Йованович с должности посла США в Киеве в интересах украинского чиновника. Ее отставка была одним из эпизодов дела об импичменте господина Трампа. СМИ утверждали, что господин Парнас требовал от Украины расследования в отношении бывшего вице-президента США Джозефа Байдена и его сына Хантера.

BLM had its broadest support right after the death of George Floyd while in police custody in late May
Support for the Black Lives Matter movement has dipped in recent months as protests against police brutality and racial injustice have descended into violence and looting in major U.S. cities, according to the findings of a new poll released Wednesday.
The survey, conducted by the Pew Research Center, showed that just over half of American adults, at 55%, support BLM, down from a high of 67% in June. The percentage of people who say they “strongly” support the movement stand at around 29%, a nearly 10% decrease from three months ago.
The movement found its broadest support immediately following the death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police on May 25. Floyd’s death sparked nationwide protests but quickly descended into violent confrontations with police.
The Pew survey found that around 37% of Republicans supported BLM in June. Now, only around 16% view it favorably. Democrats, while still overwhelmingly supportive of BLM, saw a slight dip from 92% in June, to 88% in September.
Positive sentiment has also dropped among White and Hispanic adults. In June, nearly two-thirds of White Americans said they strongly or somewhat supported BLM, but now only about 45% say they do. Meanwhile, more than three-fourths of Hispanics supported BLM in June, compared to about 66% in September, according to the survey’s findings.
Still, broad support among Black Americans for BLM remains strong. Around 87% said they support the movement – similar to figures in June. However, Black adults who say they “strongly” support the movement has decreased in the past three months from about 71% to 62%.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/black-lives- ... ort-slidesMajority of likely voters want 'Blue Lives Matter' laws punishing attacks on police: Poll
A majority believes the US is experiencing a war on cops.
A majority of likely U.S. voters believes the country is experiencing a war on police and that politicians should enact policy classifying attacks on cops as hate crimes, according to a new poll.
Released on Thursday, Rasmussen's polling came amid a wave of calls to defund police and a swell in anti-police sentiment. Since 2018, the percentage of likely voters who believes there's a war on cops has increased from 43% to 59%.
The latest data represented a slight uptick from the 58% high reported in 2015. Meanwhile, 29% disagreed with that view and 12% reported as undecided. The poll has a 3% margin of error.
Rasmussen conducted the poll with 1,000 likely voters on Sept. 15-16, as news surfaced that police officers were attacked in Los Angeles and other cities. Earlier this week, footage emerged in which an assailant walked up to a LAPD car and shot two deputies who were inside the vehicle.
Those types of attacks should be considered hate crimes, according to 59% of likely voters. Support for those so-called "Blue Lives Matter" laws is unchanged from 2016 when Rasmussen polled the issue. That proposal, previously adopted by Louisiana, faced opposition from 25% of voters while 16% were undecided.
The polling also revealed racial disparities in support for those laws. While Blacks (52% vs. 63%) were less likely to support Blue Lives Matter laws, they were more likely than Whites (84% vs. 66%) to worry about deadly attacks leading to a shortage of police officers.
Repubicans are more likely than Democrats to support those laws (80% vs. 39%) and support "Blue Lives Matter" in their state (79% vs. 45%).
Since George Floyd's death, the country saw a dramatic increase in protests surrounding race and policing. Many on the left have proposed "defunding the police," often used to describe transferring funds to other government services. According to Rasmussen, 66% of likely U.S. voters opposed those measures.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/majori ... olice-pollFBI Director Wray: 'Antifa is a real thing,' FBI has cases against people identifying with movement
FBI director says antifa is an ideology, not an organization
'It's not a fiction,' Wray says
FBI Director Chris Wray made clear that Antifa is not a made-up, right-wing conspiracy theory and that the FBI has cases involving those connected to it.
Appearing at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Thursday, Wray explained that while Antifa is not an organization in the traditional sense, it is a movement and there have been suspects who claimed to be a part of it.
"Antifa is a real thing. It's not a group or an organization. It's a movement, or an ideology may be one way of thinking of it," Wray said. "And we have quite a number -- and I've said this quite consistently since my first time appearing before this committee -- we have any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists and some of those individuals self-identify with Antifa."
Wray's words were in response to Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., who claimed prominent Democrats have called Antifa a "fantasy." In July, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., had dismissed the idea of Antifa violence in Portland as "a myth that's being spread only in Washington, D.C."
Later in the hearing, Rep. Donald Payne, D-N.J., asked for clarification about the nature of Antifa, and Wray explained further.
"Antifa is a real thing. It’s not a fiction," Wray reiterated." But it is — it’s not an organization or a structure." He again described it as more of a "movement" but again noted that there have been those who self-identify as being a part of it.
"They say 'I am Antifa,'" Wray stated.
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday sent a to letter Nadler, the committee's chair, criticizing him for launching “fruitless partisan investigations” into President Trump while ignoring the threat of Antifa.
The letter called on Nadler to denounce “left-wing violent extremism” and convene a hearing to investigate the unrest engulfing a number of cities across the country.
While Nadler and other Democrats have remained relatively quiet on Antifa, the party’s presidential nominee, Joe Biden, has condemned the movement.
Speaking to a local news station in Pennsylvania last week, Biden said he is against all violence.
"I've condemned it across the board," Biden told Pennsylvania's WGAL News 8 in an interview Monday, referring to violence during protests.
"Do you condemn Antifa?" reporter Barbara Barr asked Biden.
"Yes, I do, violence no matter who it is," he replied.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-di ... cases-realDepartment of Education to investigate Princeton after president admits to 'systemic racism'
Investigation will focus on whether school violated Civil Rights Act
The U.S. Department of Education is launching an investigation into Princeton University after the esteemed school’s president said racism was “embedded” within the establishment, according to a new report.
In an open letter published earlier this month, Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber outlined his plan to tackle “systemic racism” at the university and elsewhere.
“Racist assumptions from the past also remain embedded in structures of the University itself,” he wrote. “For example, Princeton inherits from earlier generations at least nine departments and programs organized around European languages and culture, but only a single, relatively small program in African studies.”
If "racism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton" as Eisgruber wrote, then the school may be violating a portion of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to a letter from the Education Department to Princeton obtained by the Washington Examiner.
The DOE also sent a formal records request and is investigating whether Princeton lied about its adherence to the Civil Rights Act to receive federal funds, the outlet reported. Federal investigators are looking for evidence to support the systemic racism claim.
"Based on its admitted racism, the U.S. Department of Education … is concerned Princeton’s nondiscrimination and equal opportunity assurances in its Program Participation Agreements from at least 2013 to the present may have been false," a portion of the letter published by the Examiner reads. "The Department is further concerned Princeton perhaps knew, or should have known, these assurances were false at the time they were made.”
The letter also questions whether the university misled the public regarding nondiscrimination and equal opportunity claims.
Some of the new policies Eisgruber mentioned in his Sept. 2 letter include new funding for “racial justice” education and research, and renaming the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.
“Much of this work is unglamorous, focused not on flashy symbols but on the nuts and bolts of University management,” he wrote. “That is essential: To care about eradicating systemic racism, one has to care about systems.”
Princeton denies the DOE's allegations and said in a written response that it will respond "in due course."
https://www.foxnews.com/us/department-o ... ity-racismПрезидент Принстона, дабы быть крутым либералом в теме, заявила что в Принстоне - системный расизм.
Ответка - департамент образования открыл расследование Принстона на тему "как же это Принстон получал деньги на то что нет расизма и отчитывался столько лет что нет расизма".
The Department of Education has informed Princeton University that it is under investigation following the school president’s declaration that racism was “embedded” in the institution.
President Christopher L. Eisgruber published an open letter earlier this month claiming that “[r]acism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton” and that “racist assumptions” are “embedded in structures of the University itself.”
According to a letter the Department of Education sent to Princeton that was obtained by the Washington Examiner, such an admission from Eisgruber raises concerns that Princeton has been receiving tens of millions of dollars of federal funds in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which declares that “no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
Eisgruber’s letter branding the 274 year-old university racist came after a summer of unrest rife with race riots and an open letter from hundreds of Princeton faculty members who wrote, “Anti-Black racism has a visible bearing upon Princeton’s campus makeup.” The admission was followed by dozens of “anti-racist” policy change demands. Among them were calls for select faculty race quotas and to “reconsider” the use of standardized testing for admissions.
Now, the Education Department has sent a formal records request as they pursue their investigation. Their main point of contention is whether Princeton has lied to the public with their marketing and to the Department in their promise to not uphold racist standards in accordance with receiving federal funds...

The video was uploaded by the father of one of the students
A professor at a New York college has been reassigned pending an investigation into a video recorded during one of her lectures in which she encouraged her students not to vote for President Trump in the November election.
Newsday identified the professor as Janet Gulla, who teaches women’s studies at Suffolk County Community College in New York.
In a video posted on Facebook by a father of one of the students, Gulla can be heard imploring her students who still support the president, to reassess their views.
“He’s had four freaking years of a chance, and he’s done a crap job, and he’s really ruining our country,” Gulla says during a virtual lesson.
“Many of you this may be the first time that you’re voting. I’m sorry it’s such a contentious situation that you’re being thrusted into. If any of you do still think Trump is a good person, I beg you to not only go into your heart’s center and think about this a little more, pull up all the stuff that he’s been doing to our country, taking away so many of our rights. He’s trying to turn this into more of a dictatorship,” she says.
Anthony Salvatore, the student’s father who posted te video Wednesday night, blasted the professor for what he regarded as indoctrination.
“This is … not what we are paying to send our kids to school for,” Salvatore wrote. “You have no business telling these kids who to vote for and we will be calling the school tomorrow!!! You should be terminated on the spot!!!”
Fox News has reached out to Suffolk County Community College for comment.
In a statement to The College Fix, Drew Biondo, the school’s communication director, said school officials had been made aware of the video and the professor has been reassigned pending an investigation.
“Suffolk County Community College encourages any open and diverse discussion and exchange of ideas,” Biondo wrote. “The College does not, however, condone electioneering by faculty in the classroom.”
https://www.foxnews.com/us/professor-ne ... vote-trumpОфисы в США до сих пор заполнены лишь на 49% от февральского уровня
В конце августа заполненность американских офисов оставалась на уровне лишь 49% от показателей февраля. Об этом пишет The Wall Street Journal со ссылкой на данные компании Brivo, занимающейся системами безопасности и управления доступом в офисных, промышленных и других помещениях. Свои данные Brivo основывает на количестве «разблокировок» офисов сотрудниками — это происходит, когда работник прикладывает свой пропуск на входе или как-либо иначе разблокирует вход в офис.
Довольно значительное снижение демонстрируют и другие сферы, в том числе такие, в которых удаленная работа невозможна — так, в случае с промышленными и складскими помещениями посещаемость сотрудниками находится на уровне 68% от февральского, а в случае с ритейлом — на 71%. Показатели отличаются по городам и штатам — так, если в Сан-Франциско офисы заполнены лишь на 29% от февральского уровня, а в Нью-Йорке — чуть менее чем на 40%, то в Лос-Анджелесе — на 66%. В Чикаго же при близком к среднему показателю заполненности офисов — чуть менее 50%, посещаемость промышленных и складских помещений находится на уровне 78% от февральского.Некоторые технологические компании, в том числе Google, Twitter и Airbnb, уже заявили о сохранении удаленки до следующего лета или о разрешении сотрудникам работать из дома постоянно.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... e-abc-newsGulf between White House's words, Trump's actions on masks
White House officials insist that President Donald Trump strongly supports face masks to prevent the spread of coronavirus and always has. But the president’s own words and actions tell a very different — and sometimes puzzling — story.That's created a gulf between Trump and public health officials that keeps widening six months after the virus took root in the U.S., with the president undercutting medical experts who say consistent face covering is one of the best tools to fight the pandemic.
Trump initially dismissed mask wearing for himself, then allowed himself to be seen wearing one while visiting a military hospital. He has called it “patriotic” to wear a mask but seldom passes up an opportunity to mock Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden for his routine mask wearing.
On Wednesday, after the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told Congress that his mask might even be a better guarantee than a vaccine against the virus, Trump publicly undercut Dr. Robert Redfield.
“As far as the mask is concerned, he made a mistake,” said Trump.
Dr. Tom Inglesby, director of the Center for Health Security at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said he’s “bewildered” by Trump’s ambiguity about masks. He said widespread use would also help restore economic vitality faster, a prime Trump goal.
“I don’t think that there’s any controversy about masks anywhere in the world,” Inglesby said. “Why we continue to have this debate about it is a mystery."
Lawrence Gostin, a public health expert at Georgetown University’s law school, said Trump’s vacillation between portraying masks as an infringement on personal rights and touting them as crucial to stemming the virus has left Americans “absolutely dazed and confused.”
“One could forgive the American public for not trusting anyone,” Gostin said.
But Gostin also faulted Redfield for asserting that masks are more important than an eventual vaccine, at least until one is approved. Suggesting that being vaccinated is less important as long as people are wearing masks has further clouded the public message, Gostin said.
Public health experts largely agree that COVID-19, the disease the virus causes, will be brought under control through a combination of social distancing, mask wearing and a vaccine.

https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Gul ... 575847.phpFormer Pence aide will vote for Biden because of Trump's 'flat out disregard for human life' during pandemic
Josh Dawsey, The Washington Post Published 4:23 pm PDT, Thursday, September 17, 2020
https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/For ... 575984.phpFormer Pence adviser will vote for Biden, says Trump botched coronavirus response
She said that by mid-February the White House knew COVID-19 would become a pandemic
A former adviser to Vice President Mike Pence who served on the coronavirus task force said President Trump once said coronavirus might be a good thing because he wouldn’t have to shake hands with “disgusting people.”
Olivia Troye left Pence’s team in August, but before that worked as Homeland Security, counterterrorism and coronavirus adviser for him for two years. She said that by mid-February the White House knew COVID-19 would become a pandemic.
In an ad by Republican Voters against Trump, Troye said Trump remarked in a coronavirus task force meeting: “Maybe this COVID thing is a good thing. I don’t like shaking hands with people. I don’t have to shake hands with these disgusting people.”
“I have been a Republican my entire life,” she said. “I am voting for Joe Biden because I truly believe we are at a time of constitutional crisis. At this point it’s country over party.”
“The truth is he doesn't actually care about anyone else but himself,” she said, adding that Trump was most concerned about tanking the economy in an election year.
The White House adamantly denied the exchange, with White House spokesperson Judd Deere saying “her assertions have no basis in reality and are flat-out inaccurate."
Deere said Troye was “disgruntled” and that she generally watched task force meetings from an overflow staff room and was never in private meetings with the president.
Keith Kellogg, Pence's national security adviser, said Troye was resentful of being let go from the administration. “Ms. Troye is a former detailee and a career Department of Homeland Security staff member, who is disgruntled that her detail was cut short because she was no longer capable of keeping up with her day-to-day duties.”
He said Troye reported to him and never once expressed concern about the administration’s response to the pandemic.
"By not expressing her concerns, she demonstrated an incredible lack of moral courage," Kellogg said.
Trump, a self-described “germaphobe,” has expressed distaste for shaking hands since long before his foray into politics.
Over the years he’s called the practice “barbaric,” “disgusting,” “very, very terrible” and “one of the curses of American society.” But he continued shaking hands until mid-March, after health officials recommended against doing so.
Troye also said she would be skeptical of any vaccine released before the election in an interview with The Washington Post.
“I would not tell anyone I care about to take a vaccine that launches prior to the election,” she said. “I would listen to the experts and the unity in pharma. And I would wait to make sure that this vaccine is safe and not a prop tied to an election.”
“The president’s rhetoric and his own attacks against people in his administration trying to do the work, as well as the promulgation of false narratives and incorrect information of the virus, have made this ongoing response a failure,” Troye told the Post.
Troye said she’d voted Republican in every election except for 2016 because she didn’t like the president’s rhetoric. She said she accepted Trump’s win and took a job with his presidency with optimism because she respected other Trump officials, such as Pence.
“I still have a lot of respect for the vice president,” she said. “I worked very loyally for him to do everything I could for him. I don’t want this to become a speaking-out-against-him thing.”
Pence, when asked about her comments, said “it reads to me like one more disgruntled employee that has decided to play politics during election year.”
