A Clinton email leaked by a Romanian hacker in March 2013 reveals that French and Libyan intelligence agencies had evidence that the Benghazi attacks were funded by Saudi Arabia.  The four emails, released by a hacker calling himself Guccifer, were sent between Hillary Clinton and Sidney Blumenthal –  a close friend and adviser to the Clinton family who worked in an unofficial capacity on intelligence matters to Hillary Clinton during her time as Secretary of State.

Republican leaders have given Donald Trump a ferocious pounding over the past week, and have come away with very little to show for their efforts. The Republican front-runner matched or outperformed his polling in the states voting last night, while establishment favorite Marco Rubio saw his support collapse.

But like Reagan, even in defeat, Sanders clearly represents the future of the party.

The former television star’s unorthodox background and brash demeanor has upended the conventional wisdom about how American political parties’ nominations are determined.

The UN have unveiled their masterplan for the next 14 years – saying that they wish to implement global socialism and corporate fascism as part of their “Agenda 2030” plans. Part of their plans, officially dubbed “Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals,” aims to reduce inequality worldwide by forcing individual governments and citizens alike to share their wealth under the guidance of a one world government.
