Hello Australia!! - Protests against Trump spread as the president-elect refuses to condemn hate crimes committed in his name - Hillary blames the FBI for sabotaging her campaign - Iraqi forces find evidence of IS atrocities - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Cities across the not-so United States were awash in protests as hundreds of thousands marched against fascist demagogue Donald Trump's "victory" in last week's presidential election.  In New York, protesters were joined by filmmaker Michael Moore who called the president-elect an "illegitimate president" who "does not have the vote of the people" - referring to Trump's failure to win the popular vote.  But these protests were not relegated to Liberal bastions - conservative cities in Red States such as Nashville and Milwaukee also saw sizable demonstrations against Trump.

Hillary Clinton blames FBI director James Comey for her loss.  The former Secretary of State and US Senator has kept a low profile since Wednesday morning's concession speech, and placed a call to her top campaign donors on Saturday.  Clinton was heavily favored in the polls, until eleven days before the election when Comey announced the existence of new emails related to her tenure at the State Department.  Comey waited until the Sunday before the election to clear her.  Exit polling data showed Comey's dirty trick helped suppress her vote total; which ironically was higher than Trump's, but a quirk in the US Electoral College system favors the areas that Trump won.

The not-actually United States has logged hundreds of Hate Crimes since Trump's election, most or all quoting his campaign words in harassment and assaults ethnic and religious minorities.  One of the latest had a University of Oklahoma student suspended for posting a list called "N-Lynch", apparently targeting African American students across the country for murder.  The FBI is investigating.  Most of these hate crimes are being reported in colleges and high schools.  So far, president-elect Trump has not condemned any of the hate crimes committed in his name.  Decent Americans are wearing non-chalant safety pins on their clothing as a signal to minorities that they will help stand up against bigots.

For a preview of what happens when a strongman is given control of a once-Democratic government, Turkey's Interior Ministry shut down 370 civic groups on bogus terrorism-related charges.  These organizations include professional associations and women's and children's rights groups.  Officials claim the groups are tied to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party and the religious movement of exiled Islamic cleric Fethulah Gulen, and enemy of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (who once had his balls kicked by a horse).  A handful of the groups were allegedly linked Islamic State and a far-Left revolutionary organization. 

The so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for a bombing at a Sufi shrine in Pakistan that killed at least 50 people.  More than 500 people were watching a traditional dance in the courtyard of the shrine in honor of Sufi saint Shah Bilal Noorani.  It's 350 kilometers south of the provincial capital Quetta in rough terrain without a lot of infrastructure, so getting the wounded to hospital and the dead to the morgue has proven difficult. 

Iraqi forces moving into Mosul say they've found evidence of mass graves, indicating Islamic State atrocities during the two years the terrorist group has controlled the city.  There are also reports of IS guerillas hanging as many as 40 people from public poles as a threat to Mosul's trapped civilians.

The International monetary Fund (IMF) is extending a US$12 Billion lifeline to Egypt to get the country through its deep economic crisis.  The first tranch of US$2.75 Billion will be granted immediately, but the rest will come only as the country reforms its economy.  Unemployment is high and the budget deficit is greater than twelve percent of its Gross Domestic Product.

Brazil's unelected government says it will not help Rio De Janeiro with its massive budget deficit, because "all states are facing financial difficulties".  The refusal sparked clashes between police and anti-austerity protesters.

Hundreds of thousands of South Koreans packed Seoul to demand President Park Geun-hye step down over a multimillion-dollar influence-peddling scheme, allegedly organized by Ms. Park's longtime friend.

Poland marked is Independence Day with a blend of religion and nationalism, opening the Temple of Divine Providence 224 years after the cornerstone was laid.  Construction on the huge and imposing structure was halted by the Russian invasion, and then by two successive world wars.  The current far-right government is heavily influenced by Catholic conservatives, and now they have the country's tallest church.

Venice residents protested the high rents and housing shortages driving them out of the famed Italian city of canals, many clutching suitcases they're afraid they'll have to use.  Hanging a sign with the hashtag "#VenExodus" off the Rialto Bridge, they say the city's population has gone from 175,000 in 1951 to 55,000 today because of landlords renting homes out to wealthy foreign tourists.
