Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is all pumped up against Muslims, calling for surveillance, torture and banning of people from the Islamic faith following the Belgium terror attacks. “This is going to happen in the United States,” said Trump on his social media account, hours after the horrific suicide bombings in Brussels.

Maybe it is not that difficult being a billionaire!

Steve Jackson’s Illuminati: The Game of Conspiracy was originally released in 1982, and many believe the game has already predicted major events that have come to pass, including: the 9/11 attacks, Princess Diana’s death, and the Japanese tsunami.  Worryingly, the game predicts that we are about to experience an “imminent” nuclear attack that will spark the beginning of World War 3. The image below was drawn on a card taken from the 1990s board game showing what appears to be an eerie representation of the 9/11 terror attacks – years before it actually occurred.

President Obama delivered an interesting speech in Havana during his visit to Cuba in which he touted the benefits of normalization, promoted liberal principles, and called for an end to the embargo.

I have come here to bury the last remnant of the Cold War in the Americas. I have come here to extend the hand of friendship to the Cuban people.
