In the last eighteen months the Obama administration have initiated the greatest build-up of military forces since World War two along Russia’s western frontier.  Such a military build up hasn’t been since since Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. Australian journalist John Pilger says that World War 3 has already begun. The media just don’t know about it yet because, at present, it is a war of propaganda, lies and distraction. But that can change in an instant. RT.com reports: Ukraine – once part of the Soviet Union – has become a CIA theme park.

One of the Brussels suicide bombers allegedly left a note on a computer which was found in a trash can during an anti-terrorist raid, Belgium’s federal prosecutor said.

RT reports: Before the attacks Ibrahim left a note, where he wrote that he felt increasingly unsafe and feared landing up in prison.

ISIS have issued a statement following the attack in Brussels, saying that they intend to commit to further numerous small-scale attacks in Belgium and Europe – without the need for centralised coordination or authority from their leaders.  ISIS say that individual militants and cells are now free to operate semi-independently – opening the gates for many more spontaneous attacks throughout Europe.
