Belgian security and intelligence services, along with other Western intelligence agencies, had advance warnings about the March 22 attack in Brussels, according to Haaretz.

According to the Israeli news website, security services in Belgium had precise warnings about the attack on the airport and, likely, the subway as well.

The attack was reportedly planned in Raqqa, Syria, the de-facto capital of the Daesh terrorist group. Even the name of the primary organizer of the attacks, Salah Abdelslam, was known. Abdelslam was behind the Paris attacks, after which he fled to Belgium, where he hid until a week before the Tuesday attacks.

Emergency patrols, beefed up security at transport hubs and a heavier armed police presence have become the new reality in Europe, following the deadly Brussels attacks.

The Netherlands' National Coordinator for Security and Counter-Terrorism (NCTV) agency said on Wednesday that Dutch military police would carry heavier arms to ensure the security of 'high-risk sites' such as government buildings, parliament, Jewish institutions and major transit hubs and border crossings. The agency, however, has not specified the exact type of weapons officers would carry.

While railing against domestic gun violence, the US president is placing high-tech weapons in the hands of dictators, scoring record profits for corporations that make killing machines.

In an editorial published on Wednesday, Truthout's Owen McCormack took President Obama to task, blasting him as the "Arms Dealer in Chief." In the piece, McCormack points out that, while Obama calls for stricter domestic gun control, the US president has also spearheaded a proliferation of arms sales to foreign governments.

"At BarackObama.com, for example, President Obama is described as a purveyor of peace who is at odds with an unenlightened Congress," writes McCormack.

US police arrested an Iranian-Turkish gold dealer who belongs to Erdogan's inner circle. He is said to have violated the now repealed Iran sanctions. It is unclear whether the US Attorney's Office will extend its accusations to members of the Turkish government.

The Iranian-Turkish Gold trader Reza Zarrab was arrested in Miami on Saturday, reports Bloomberg. The US authorities accuse him to have circumvented the sanctions against Iran over the years, and in this context washed money. Zarrab, owner of Royal Holding, and two others - Camelia Jamshidy and Hossein Najafzadeh - are accused of having, through a Web company, led US banks unwittingly to carry out illegal financial transactions. This shows the bill of indictment of the prosecution of New York.

No sooner did I finish writing my last article inferring if not suggesting that Donald Trump may prove to be more than a thorn in the side of the ruling elite, a couple hours later I was watching his speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual conference. I stand by my account of accurately detailing the over-the-top rush to judgment and all the mass media hype the globalists are viciously attacking in efforts to smear and defame Donald Trump. Calling him the incarnate Adolf Hitler himself is the same mode of character assassination by which Western leaders and MSM have relentlessly demonized Vladimir Putin as the pure evil dictator he is not. But after watching Trump's AIPAC speech yesterday, my wishful thinking that Trump may just be the anti-elitist champion America's been desperately needing and waiting for was disappointingly shattered.

As a journalist I do my best to report the truth as I see it. But witnessing Donald Trump paying such saccharine unholy homage throughout his entire half hour anti-Iran diatribe of pure unadulterated pandering before the almighty AIPAC dollars that have come to be the make-or-break kingpins lording over American politicians, for the first time I actually found myself embarrassed over what I'd just written.

In a déjà vu-like moment I was immediately reminded of how so many of us were taken in eight years ago by Barack Obama preying on America's hope for change, finally electing a president that we believed would do right by the American people. Many of us citizens were swept up by our first elected black president's promise to transform America from the sordid misery and untold damage of the preceding eight devastating years under the sinister Bush-Cheney regime. But once Obama took office, our sense of national betrayal began setting in when we started learning that "the hope" was all just an Obama act to get himself elected, and his true colors as a treasonous imposter were becoming clearer. Now Barack Hussein Obama will likely go down as the worst president in history for actively destroying America. It was a bitter pill to have to swallow realizing Obama was same as the old boss, representing eight more years of the same tortuous neocon madness made of the same horribly destructive policies of war and chaos - only worse in Obama's concentrated, accelerated form - than the previous criminal Republican administration.

New research findings from a team of progressive economists provides documentary evidence that the financial footing for Sen. Bernie Sanders visionary social change agenda is not only plausible, but would create far more socially productive jobs, as well as moving us down the road to the more humane society that is at the heart of the Sanders campaign.

In their push to vilify Sanders, Democratic Party acolytes from the media to academia have fallen in line attacking the economic foundations of his campaign for free public college tuition, Medicare for all, job creation through infrastructure repair, and other critical needs.

But a new report from the University of Massachusetts Amherst Political Economy Research Institute documents how a key Sanders proposal — a tax on Wall Street speculation — would bring at least $300 billion a year in new revenues from those who can most afford to pay it for the critical reforms the country so desperately needs.

Further, the report by Robert Pollin, lead author, and his colleagues James Heintz and Thomas Herndon, breaks new ground in documenting that the tax would be a huge boon to the economy in creating millions of new jobs in education beyond what the same spending creates on Wall Street.

Palestinian and human rights advocates were aghast over remarks made by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) convention on Monday, saying that her speech represented "everything that is bad" with U.S. imperialism and policy in the Middle East.

During the address, Clinton vowed to take the U.S.-Israel relationship to "the next level"—a level which seemingly includes more war and imperialism, few, if any, rights for Palestinians, and definitely no economic boycotts of Israel.


Striking a hawkish tone, Clinton warned the powerful lobby group against rival candidates who want to "outsource Middle East security to dictators" and "cede the mantle of leadership for global peace and security," and instead vowed even more "security and intelligence cooperation."

EVERY False Flag Terror Attack Has An Explicit Purpose ...
... Especially When They Are Perpetrated At Key Landmarks In Europe

The multiple bomb blasts in Brussels are as purposeful as those terrorist attacks carried out in Paris last November.

They have been implemented by the very same group of rogue intelligence agencies and secret services to include the CIA, MI6, MOSSAD and DGSE (French SS) on behalf of their NWO masters.

Brussels is now ground zero in Europe as it was repeatedly warned by the MSM during the aftermath of the Paris terror attacks that were staged on 11/13.

Why Brussels? Why the airport? Why the Metro? Why now?

Because, Brussels is the de facto imperial capital of the European Union.
