TACO TUESDAY: TRUMP BLINKS ON IRAN + PUTIN GOES TO CHINA | Mark Sleboda (Rachel Blevins)

President Trump’s sudden announcement that he was calling off a U.S. Military attack on Iran comes as countries in the Persian Gulf were raising concerns, but also as reports say the Pentagon has been warning that another round of this war wouldn’t have much of an impact on Iranian military capabilities, but it would have an impact on the already critically low supply of U.S. standoff munitions.

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that it’s “TACO Tuesday” once again, as Trump Always Chickens Out when he threatens an attack… until he doesn’t. We are reminded that just as it’s not surprising that the U.S. is backing away from an attack today, it also wouldn’t be surprising if Trump reversed course tomorrow.

The Shadow War in the Gulf: Who is Really in Control? (Richard Dolan)

The war you see on the news is only half the story.

While the media focuses on troop movements and official statements, a "Shadow War" is being fought in the Persian Gulf—one defined by precision strikes, electronic warfare, and an invisible layer of control. In this deep dive, Richard Dolan explores the hidden architecture of this conflict, looking past the immediate explosions to ask: Who actually benefits from a destabilized Gulf, and what kind of "unseen control" is being established?

This isn't just about regional rivalry; it’s about the evolution of modern warfare and the high-tech mechanisms used to direct the fate of nations from the shadows.



A good assessment of changing technology, with the use of drones, in modern war. The Iran War poses a threat to the globalised economy. Dolan asks whether a conflict like this attracts the interest of UFOs - which have appeared during other wars. However, one could argue that UFOs seem to have a general interest in what goes on with this planet in any event, while they naturally gravitate towards events that have a great, or global, impact, including natural events.

Newsom Pledges To RIG ELECTION Of California Governor For Democrats! (Jimmy Dore)

Jimmy is joined by Elaine Culotti, a no-party-preference candidate for California governor, who explains that she has been shut out of debates because media polls only ask about Democrats and Republicans, ignoring the 23% of registered voters who are no-party-preference, while Governor Gavin Newsom admitted that if Democrats are not the top two finishers in California's "jungle primary," there is a "break the glass scenario" to rig the outcome—which Culotti says proves they will "rig the election even more than it's already rigged."

She recounts meeting a Pacific Palisades homeowner standing in the ashes of his burned-down house who told her he would vote for "whichever Democrat they can get across the finish line," despite Democrats having failed to rebuild or fix a 50-year-old "temporary" storm drain. Culotti also notes that Xavier Becerra, who was polling at 2%, has been boosted to 21% with $10 million in spending, while Jimmy says that billionaire Tom Steyer—who made his fortune from for-profit prisons—is being supported by former Bernie Sanders voters, revealing the hypocrisy of the progressive base.

She advocates for filing municipal bankruptcy for Los Angeles to eliminate unfunded mandates like SB 79 (high-density housing) and sanctuary city policies, and to stop the land grab she believes is happening in Pacific Palisades, where high-density housing is planned in place of burned-down homes.

UFOs and Hidden Evidence: The Pattern Nobody's Discussing (Richard Dolan)

Note: This video was originally released as an exclusive presentation for our YouTube Channel Members. We are opening this comprehensive briefing to the public, due to its crucial relevance to the ongoing disclosure debate.

The Stories are Real. But Where is the Proof?

The world knows the lore: lights in the sky, strange craft, and terrifying close encounters. But one question haunts the heart of ufology: What happens to the physical evidence? Where do the high-quality photographs, the radar data logs, the biological trace evidence, and the physical artifacts retrieved by official bodies disappear to?

In this special presentation from the member archives, world-renowned UFO historian Richard Dolan dives deep into the most critical part of the puzzle. He doesn’t just define the patterns of the phenomena; he investigates the systemic machinery that captures and classifies evidence, ensuring the public remains in the dark.

In this video, we explore:
• Close Encounters Explained: A breakdown of the classic Hynek classification system (CE1–CE4) and why these patterns are the key to understanding non-human intelligence.
• The Vanishing Evidence: Investigating the chain of custody for high-quality UFO evidence and identifying where the bottlenecks occur within official channels.
• Classification vs. Private Warehousing: How the national security state utilizes private aerospace corporations to warehouse findings, exempting them from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
• Famous Cases of Missing Proof: Historical examples of promising evidence that simply "disappeared" into the black abyss of secrecy.



Another thing to consider about the cover up and missing physical evidence, separate to what this video discusses, is the role that our visitors play. Who is really in control? It would be easy for an advanced civilisation to puppeteer key people to retrieve advanced technology, or they could simply act themselves. This is what might scare people within military circles make them reluctant to come forward with the truth.

Thomas Massie LOSES To Epstein Class! Here’s What We CAN DO NOW! (Jimmy Dore)

Jimmy reports that GOP Rep. Thomas Massie lost his congressional race in Kentucky after the Israel lobby, led by Miriam Adelson, spent over $32 million—shattering spending records—to defeat him, even thoug, as Trump himself noted, when directly asked Adelson refused to say whether she loves the United States or Israel more. He points out that voters under 55 overwhelmingly supported Massie, while the "Fox News geriatric crowd" over 55 voted for his opponent, suggesting the GOP will look radically different in the next presidential election as younger voters reject the Israel-first establishment.

Jimmy argues that the only nonviolent solution to our current crisis of democracy is for workers who are the "backbone of capitalism"—railroad workers, port workers, truck drivers, grocery store workers, and Amazon fulfillment workers—to stay home from work for several days or weeks, with a demand for publicly funded elections, campaign spending caps, and six-week election cycles. He adds that the same billionaires pushing AI data centers that eliminate jobs and build prisons for dissenters are now pushing a bipartisan anti-semitism bill that would censor speech critical of Israel, and that the system has become so oppressive that George Washington's words about armed resistance as a "last resort" are becoming newly relevant.



Very good summary of the wider situation by Dore who has learnt a lot in recent years. He's progressed a long way since waking up after all the Covid lies. He's on the same page as other alt media titans, when it comes to the economy and rule by oligarchs. I

Compromised - Why Trump Targeted Congressman Thomas Massie (Mark Dice)

The Republican establishment, AIPAC, and the Trump White House are pouring tens of millions of dollars into a congressional primary to take out one of the most independent voices in Congress — Thomas Massie. All because he exposed AIPAC's grip on Capitol Hill, pushed to release the Epstein files, and refused to vote for a spending bill loaded with pork that included funding for the same government agency that colluded with Big Tech to censor Americans. Media analyst Mark Dice has the details.

People Are Going To Drone Bomb Our Data Centers! Says Blackrock CEO Larry Fink (Jimmy Dore)

Larry Fink, the head of BlackRock and one of the most powerful figures in the global financial system, admits he is concerned that ordinary Americans will use inexpensive drones to attack and destroy billion-dollar AI data centers—a fear Jimmy interprets as proof that the ruling class knows a popular revolt is coming and is preparing for it. He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger note that Trump allocated $80 billion to prisons while making it illegal for local governments to regulate AI data centers, suggesting the prisons are not for immigrants but for Americans who rise up against the surveillance state and mass job displacement caused by AI.

Tucker Carlson is quoted pointing out that Fink's primary concern is not how AI will eliminate human rights or turn people into slaves, but rather how to protect corporate investments from domestic attacks—a worry Jimmy calls unprecedented because people don't typically bomb power plants. Jimmy also highlights a Utah county commissioner's Freudian slip—telling protesters to mature "for hell's sake"—as evidence that the ruling class knowingly intends to create a living hell while expecting citizens to accept it quietly.

Someone’s Assassinating Mexican Cartel Bosses (Cappy Army)

A Joint raid between the CIA and Mexican Military was just revealed. The public was never supposed to know about this. But after two American operatives died during a mission targeting cartel drug labs in Chihuahua, the cover story started falling apart. Now the operation is exposing how far the U.S. intelligence war against the cartels may really go.



The video goes on to report that drug bosses in other South American countries have also been targeted. When it comes to those CIA guys killed in Mexico, did this happen in an operation against the cartels, or were they ambushed by cartel members, or did they find out that the drug cartels were partnered with other CIA elements and were assassinated?

Can Restore Britain Win Makerfield? (Connor Tomlinson)

Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, will stand in the Makerfield by-election, orchestrated by the resignation of MP Josh Simons to install Burnham as Prime Minister. Keir Starmer insists he will not resign, and will not be replaced by either Burnham or Wes Streeting. In any scenario, Labour will be destroyed at the next general election.

Both Reform UK and Restore Britain are contesting the seat, with Rupert Lowe announcing local businesswoman Rebecca Shepherd as their candidate. Can she beat Nigel Farage's likely champion, councillor and army veteran Robert Kenyon, who won 32 percent of the vote at the 2024 general election?

This will be an opportunity to test Restore Britain's ground game, which won double the vote share of Reform in Great Yarmouth at the local election. Can they activate enough non-voters to replace Reform in the north? Or will Reform prove their place at the top of national polls is steadfast?



The clip also goes into the issue of the grooming gangs that will be on the minds of many voters, where Restore Britain actually held an inquiry, whereas Reform bailed out on seeking justice. The by election is on the 18th of June which gives a lot of time for Restore Britain to campaign.

Genius Victoria Party Harvests Informal Votes: Avoid Fine Strategy (Monica Smit)

We found a way to harvest INFORMAL VOTES (up to 10%)...and give them power! We're creating a box just for them...'I'm voting to avoid the fine' party



This group voting system has been abused in the past, and now it's being openly trashed with these vote funnelling parties. What the activists want is for group voting to be abolished so that Victorian elections are conducted in the same way as Federal Elections, where you chose where your preferences go. As a footnote, the "I'm voting to avoid the fine party" should perhaps be called, "I'm only voting to avoid the fine party".

MASSIVE Western Drought Threatens Life As We Know & No One Is Talking About It! w/ Tony Heller (Jimmy Dore)

In this segment Jimmy shows a video documenting the catastrophic failure of the Colorado River system, noting that Hoover Dam has shut down for the first time in 90 years, Lake Mead has dropped to 953 feet—just three feet above the level where turbines die—and the Bureau of Reclamation has used the term "deadpool" for the first time, meaning the river could physically stop flowing through the dam by late summer. Guest Tony Heller explains that the 20th century was the wettest in 1,200 years, giving people "unrealistic expectations" about water availability in the Southwest, and that the current drought actually represents a return to the normal climate pattern, not an unprecedented crisis.

Heller also notes that the previous worst snowpack reading on record was 19% in 2002, but the current snowpack in critical zones above Lake Powell is 0%, and the spring runoff forecast is just 4% of average. He suggests that water from Flaming Gorge Reservoir is being moved to Lake Powell to mitigate the immediate crisis, and that an expected El Niño winter could bring significant snow to the Rockies and temporarily relieve the situation, but that long-term agriculture in the Imperial Valley and Yuma—which produce much of the nation's winter vegetables—may eventually need to relocate to Central or South America.



Remember there's data to indicate that California had two hundred year long droughts in the past.

The Petrodollar, Power, and the Cover-Up: Why Governments Hide Anomalous Tech (Richard Dolan)

If the truth about UFOs came out tomorrow, the world as we know it would end.

Most people assume the government hides anomalous objects because of "National Security." But that’s just a convenient excuse. In this deep dive, Richard Dolan argues that the reality is far more disruptive.

We aren't just talking about hidden craft; we are talking about a discovery that would immediately threaten the global financial system, the fossil-fuel-based petrodollar, and the very foundation of government authority.

If the technology exists to bypass our current energy paradigm, the powers that be don't just lose their secrets—they lose their control.

What we’re actually talking about:

• The Economic Kill-Switch: Why "free energy" or advanced propulsion is the ultimate threat to the global markets.

• The Legal Paradox: What happens to the "Social Contract" when a government admits it cannot control its own borders or skies?

• Technological Hegemony: The silent race to reverse-engineer anomalous tech and why the winner takes all.

• The "Breakaway" Reality: Exploring the possibility of a group already operating outside of public and congressional oversight.

U.S. RUSHES AMMUNITION TO ISRAEL FOR ATTACK ON IRAN + YEMEN SHOOTS DOWN MQ-9 REAPER DRONE (Rachel Blevins)

Reports say that dozens of U.S. Military cargo planes carrying ammunition from bases in Germany have landed in Tel Aviv in the last 24 hours, with Israel’s Channel 13 describing the supplies as “part of preparations to resume the war on Iran.”

This, as President Trump is again threatening over 90 million Iranians with genocide if they don’t make a deal, claiming that “the Clock is Ticking.” But the U.S. response to Tehran’s proposal to end the conflict makes it clear that Washington is nowhere near ready to be done with its war on Iran.

Europe's Drone Escalation Gamble Is Spinning Out of Control (The Duran)

Ukraine just launched its biggest ever drone strike on Moscow, and Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down what this unprecedented escalation really means: not a military breakthrough, but a desperate signal from Kyiv and European capitals that they are still in the fight even as the frontlines deteriorate and NATO rearmament continues to fall short. With the US pulling back, Tomahawk missile deals cancelled, and Europe unable to produce weapons at scale, the drone offensive is less a strategy and more a gamble that could spiral dangerously out of control. Is Russia holding back its deterrence for a reason, or is this the moment that changes the entire trajectory of the conflict in Europe?

CIA Agent’s Painful Realization He Was Fighting On The WRONG SIDE! w/ Larry Johnson (Jimmy Dore)

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joins Jimmy to explain that the claim that Iran has been "at war with the US for 47 years" is a complete fabrication, noting that the US supplied chemical weapons to Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war, has funded and armed the MEK terrorist group, and has never suffered a single Iranian terrorist attack on US soil—while 90% of post-2000 attacks have come from radical Sunni groups that Iran was actively fighting.

Johnson reveals that General Soleimani, whom Trump assassinated, was actually fighting ISIS alongside US interests, and that the US, Turkey, and Israel were on the same side as ISIS in Syria while Iran fought against them. He traces US support for Islamic extremism back to the 1980s under Zbigniew Brzezinski, who used the extremist Mujahedin fighters to bleed the Soviet Union in Afghanistan—a strategy that continued through the Chechen wars and ultimately brought Putin to power.

He concludes that the US, not Iran, is the "number one purveyor of terrorism in the world," and that American foreign policy is driven not by the interests of the American people but by the military-industrial complex and major financiers who profit from endless war.



The only thing Larry misled the public on here is to omit the fact that the 911 attacks were an inside job, but otherwise he is absolutely correct that the US is a key supporter of terrorism and proxy war around the world (heavily steered by neocons). Please remember that the Israelis have also heavily funded HAMAS.

Russia Moldova Decree Stuns EU; Assembles Belarus Force; Brushes Off Zelensky Drones; Putin To China (Alexander Mercouris)
