The Mainstream Media Says The Middle Class Isn’t Shrinking – But That Is Only Because Their Definition Includes Lots Of Poor People
by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:
If you ask the mainstream media, they will tell you that about half the country is still middle class. In fact, a CNBC article that just came out says that “52% of American adults live in ‘middle class’ households”. Of course that is down from 61 percent in 1971, but considering everything we have been through in recent years, that still looks pretty good. But is it the truth? In the end, it all comes down to how you define “the middle class”. If I defined the middle class as anyone that makes from zero dollars to a trillion dollars a year, then 100 percent of Americans would be considered “middle class” by that definition. So we can’t just look at the final number they give us. Instead, we have to dig deeper and find out how they came up with the number in the first place.

NEW: Disturbing Details About Facebook’s Orwellian “News Tab” Emerge
by Peter M. D’Abrosca, Laura Loomer:
Facebook is preparing to propagandize Americans with leftist news ahead of the 2020 election.
Disturbing new details about Facebook’s “News Tab,” which will be employed before the 2020 election and will surely be used to sway the election in favor of the plutocratic elites’ preferred candidate, have emerged this weekend.
According to an internal Facebook memo obtained by Neiman Labs, the Silicon Valley tech giant plans to have human editors curating the news stories that will appear on users’ timelines. The fact that those human news curators are called “editors” is another piece of evidence that points to the fact that Facebook is a “publisher,” not a “platform” for legal purposes.

There’s a lot of folks betting on Hillary Clinton as the 2020 Democrat presidential nominee, forcing a UK bookmaker to increase the odds of a rematch with President Trump to 20-1.
Clinton has risen to the seventh favorite for the 2020 nomination at Ladbrokes, a British bet maker, with new odds of 20-1 after a flood of bets predicting the former first lady will enter the presidential race.
“We’re baffled, to be honest,” Matthew Shaddick, head of Ladbrokes’ political division, told Newsweek. “We’ve taken more bets on her to be the Democratic candidate than any of the other runners.”

Saudi Arabia: Who is Responsible for Rising Tensions?
by Viktor Mikhin, New Eastern Outlook:
It is well known that on the night of 14 September some drones attacked two of the largest Saudi facilities: one of them is an enormous oil processing site in Abqaiq (with a capacity of 7 million barrels per day), and the other the Khurais oil field with deposits of 20.1 billion barrels of oil, according to experts. An official spokesperson for the state company Saudi Aramco stated that the strike had reduced Saudi’s oil generating capacity by 5.7 million barrels per day. This accounts for 58% of all the oil produced by the Kingdom and approximately 6% of the global supply. Petroleum producers have noted that this is the first breakdown of this scale in the 70-year history of oil production in this country. Afterwards, a group of Yemeni insurgents (Houthis from the Shia Ansar Allah movement) claimed responsibility for the attack.
