But don't be fooled: Clinton stole Iowa, and there's even video proof of her dirty tricks:
A US plane was despatched to try and capture whistle-blower Snowden
The plane, which passed above the Outer Hebrides, the Highlands and Aberdeenshire, was dispatched from the American east coast on June 24 2013, the day after Snowden left Hong Kong for Moscow. The craft was used in controversial US 'rendition' missions.
Reports by Scottish journalist Duncan Campbell claim the flight, travelling well above the standard aviation height at 45,000 feet and without a filed flight plan, was part of a mission to capture Snowden following his release of documents revealing mass surveillance by US and UK secret services.
That the flight passed over Scotland, airspace regulated by the UK, has raised questions over UK complicity in a covert mission to arrest Snowden and whether any police, aviation or political authorities in Scotland were made aware of the flight path.
Many of the reports claim the discussions are the results of the thaw in relations between Turkey and Israel. The rift was supposedly caused by Israel's attack on the MV MarMara, the aid ship attempting to break Israel's siege on Gaza in 2010, and the execution of 8 Turkish citizens on board the ship. But even during this period of "tense" relations, discussions about the gas pipeline were still being held between Turkey and Israel. Trade between the two states went up by 25%.
The tense relations were a facade, a face saving measure that allowed Turkish President Erdogan to portray an image of a patriotic defender of Turkish citizens, and a champion of Islam and the Palestinian cause. During the initial uproar of the flotilla incident, Erdogan promised the next flotilla would be escorted by the Turkish navy. Instead Erdogan blocked the Mavi MarMara from heading to Gaza. Far from defending the Palestinian cause, Turkey continued to produce Israel's Military combat boots which are used in the occupation of the West bank. Relations with Turkey improved even though Israel's treatment of Palestinians did not improve. This reveals the extent of which Turkey's foreign policy is drenched in hypocrisy.
Comment: A very dirty game is being played out by Israel and Turkey that, sooner or later, may come to the awareness of many more masses of people. And all hell will break loose when it does (even more than it has already).

Today people are getting sick with Swine Flu and Zika all over the world, with Ebola hanging back while we await the next outbreak. Diseases occur naturally, but since World War II governments have spent billions weaponizing different viruses to be used alongside the usual crop of diseases, the old bacterial standbys like anthrax or smallpox and train loads of poison gas.
A bio-chemical warfare "medical research" facility, like the one in Tbilisi, is almost exactly the same as a fully-fledged bio-chemical warfare production facility. All that would be required is to use one portion of a research facility for this purpose, maybe a few secret labs and underground or outbuilding production facilities which are easy to hide. How you tell one from the other is by examining the plans, the security protocols and the budget. You then look at the management of the facility, its history and examine what diseases it "researches."

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said the so-called Sterile Insect Technology (SIT) can help tackle the outbreak which has been declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO). IAEA experts are set to meet with Brazilian officials on February, 16, Reuters reported.
Comment: So genetically modified mosquitos aren't enough, now that want to nuke them and see what kind of monster can be developed.

"Because we are accelerating the [anti-Daesh] campaign, DOD is backing that up and we need to back it up in our budget with a total of $7.5 billion in 2017, fifty percent more than in 2016," Carter said at the Economic Club in Washington, DC. "This will be critical as our updated coalition military campaign plan kicks in."
Comment: As the economies of the world slow down, the military-industrial complex wants more business apparently. Or they see Russia in a new light and want more money to upgrade the US military.

Criticizing US President Barack Obama's administration's decision to add more people on the so-called 'Magnitsky list', "which has been for a long time used for unreasonable accusations against Russian officials," the ministry said that Washington's recent move "strikes a blow at bilateral relations."
"The US continues to destroy [these relations'] grounds, regularly spreading false information against Russia," the foreign ministry's information and press department said in a statement on Tuesday.
All five are former officials, who Moscow says are connected to the "legalization and use of torture and indefinite detention of prisoners."
Saying that the five US nationals, including former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales are now banned from entering Russia, the ministry added that Washington should deal with the human rights situation in its own country in a better way.
"We are talking about a policy that has allowed the keeping of Russian citizen [Ravil] Mingazov in Guantanamo prison without a trial for over 13 years," the statement said.
Police State: Israel adopts legislation allowing police to stop and search any person without reason

The law had previously stated that police officers were only allowed to search someone if they had sufficient reason to believe that the person could be carrying a weapon. Nissan Slomiansky, a member of the Knesset, also stated that the legislation made sure that officers could only stop an individual if they could visibly see a bulge in the person's clothing that suggested they could be hiding a knife or gun, the Times of Israel reported.
The bill was passed by the Knesset following a vote of 39 in favor to 31 against.
It will now mean that police will be able to search an individual without reasonable suspicion and solely based on a judgment that a person could be about to carry out a terror attack.
Ban said in an opinion piece published in the New York Times that Israel cannot keep "lashing out at every well-intentioned critic" of its policies and that he had "pointed out a simple truth."
"Palestinians -- especially young people -- are losing hope over what seems a harsh, humiliating and endless occupation," he said in the editorial posted on the website late Sunday
