IRAN READY TO DESTROY Trump's Presidency /Professor Seyed Marandi in Tehran (Daniel Davis)
Marandi points out that there is no agreed ceasefire and that a blockade is an act of war, which is what led to the recent strikes from Iran. It's also a signal that Iran is not afraid of US retaliation, which is a significant psychological move.
The Iranians actually want more conflict because it makes the situation worse for the US. The longer the blockade continues the sooner the oil runs out. And the Saudi's fight with Yemen is further turning the populations of the region against the US and its allies.

COL. Douglas Macgregor : Is Putin Losing Patience? (Judging Freedom)
Russia has realised that any negotiation with the US will be fruitless. The same situation applies to the war against Iran. Russia and Iran will only stop once the US withdraws itself from both conflicts, and where their demands are essentially met.
Putin has indicated that Ukraine is set to be broken up, with the East and South controlled by Russia and the Western rump given to Poland or Romania. But in reality all of Ukraine will likely come under Russian control to stop it being used as a staging ground for further attacks.

Fauci Pleads The 5th Over 100 Times (Kim Iversen)
Fauci Diaries: 1,141 pages Dr. Anthony Fauci wrote between 2019 and 2022, pulled off eleven government servers and released by the Senate — and the contradictions are stunning. Publicly he championed the wet-market origin; privately, in January 2020, he wrote "we know the market was not the source, it was the amplifier." Publicly he claimed the experts agreed on natural spillover; his own entry records nine of eleven international officials saying a lab leak or "deliberate insertion" was possible. Publicly he said he had "nothing to do" with school closures; his diary says he "convinced" de Blasio to close New York's schools and worked Newsom's office to shutter California's. He even logged the fan mail from Barbra Streisand and Julia Roberts. Confronted with all of it at the Senate hearing, Fauci blasted Rand Paul's "unhinged obsession" with prosecuting him — then pleaded the Fifth, as Senator Moreno demanded: "Who the f_** do you think you were?"
Coercing or tricking anyone into taking an experimental medicine is a crime. Fauci, and others in command authority positions, can be immediately arrested for this action.

The Democrats Were Even More Mental Than You Thought (Sargon)
One might guess that this clip is about a 'self hating liberal' but it's about identity politics grifters using concepts of oppression hierarchy to get ahead in a cult. The problem with the young lady in the thumbnail picture, who left, is that she was not self hating enough, and believed in meritocracy.
Sargon points out that the grifters are all about their identity at the expense of European/Western identify. Unlike Westerners their home identity is never left at the door when they move to a new country. It's used as a political weapon. Because of this they act more like invaders, many of them, as opposed to joining with everyone else in the general society. The Democrats allow this since they've all signed up to being apart of a woke, anti-Western agenda.

Overall inflation is still high. While rates are on hold there's every chance of a raise going into the next month, although Leith says this is unlikely.

The Odyssey Isn't a Win For DEI...It's a RETREAT in Disguise | Here's My Hypothesis as to WHY (Doomcock)
The Odyssey has been slammed since the early trailers as a DEI nightmare, and whatever success it has had so far has been framed as a win for The Agenda...but if you take a step back, dismiss previous impressions and actually analyze the big picture? It gets a lot more complicated, and what we assumed was a win all along...looks more like a retreat...
Apparently the film wasn't very woke, it was just extremely average. Is part of the reason the film did well, outside of the fact that Nolan directed it, is because it largely follows normal conventions? Other commentators have pointed out that if you know the character of Odysseus, what you get on screen is not really him - something ordinary movie goers would not realise. They'd just judge the film on its overall ability to tell a good story.

Col Doug Macgregor: IRAN MUST FINISH the JOB TOO (Daniel Davis)
Col Macgregor on the Daniel Davis channel that pretty much nails how things are actually working. Compare this to the narrative you may have heard from the MSM.
The Strait of Hormuz is essentially closed, despite what Trump has said recently. The fall in the price of oil is a paper market scam helped by the release of strategic fuel reserves. The price of oil coming off ships at the moment is 140 dollars per barrel. Netanyahu is currently in Washington, and no matter what is schemed, the military reality is that there is nothing they can do to stop the Iranians short of WMD strikes. In fact, Iran get devastate all countries in the region by striking oil, water and power installations causing a humanitarian and economic crisis.
Macgregor further points out that all US bases in the region can be smashed, almost beyond repair, forcing a US military withdrawal from the region. What's happening now, with US attempts to negotiate a peace, is more like a rear-guard action before they are kicked out.
The video also looks at Ukraine's attempts to expand their war to include attacks on Iran and talk of Europe escalating things. However, Macgregor rightly points out that Europe is going broke, and that they would sooner collapse than engage in any long term military operations.
The real beneficiary of this fighting, according to Macgregor, is China that can come in and provide support to the rest of the world as the US undermines itself. However, one must consider what high oil prices might do to the internal stability of China.
The biggest issue the US faces is control by Israeli interests where both wars, in Ukraine and against Iran, are neocon projects. Macgregor explains that these wars are not in the interests of the USA, and that the present level of external influence would have been seen as treasonous in times past.
Note: The end of the video covers historical facts about Ukraine - that it was put together in Soviet times. The east and south of the country had been Russian territories for hundreds of years, populated by Russians.

Uh oh: Israel Just Built the New Petrodollar (Kim Iversen)
For a century, real power meant controlling oil — and the petrodollar locked the world into the US financial system because every factory and freighter on earth needed dollars to run. Kim breaks down what she sees replacing it: an Israeli tech-dollar built not on crude, but on the systems no modern state can live without — data, AI, cybersecurity, water. The mechanics of the dependency trap: a country can ration its way through an oil shortage, but it cannot function for a day with its grid, banks, defense radars, or government registries down. And when a nation installs Israeli cyber-intelligence frameworks, border systems, or desalination networks, it isn't buying a product — it's installing a live ecosystem that needs continuous updates, patches, and oversight from the parent nation. Forever. Where the US enforces compliance through SWIFT bans and sanctions, the tech version has its own kill switch: the standing threat that support gets suspended, or systems stop working, right when a crisis hits. And the test ground? Venezuela — where footage now shows Maduro's own vice president meeting AIPAC delegations and the IDF operating openly. Once a government's survival runs on someone else's software, alignment stops being a choice.
The Israelis are running a world wide intelligence and control operation against the rest of the world using bribery and coercion (blackmail/extortion) to get their way. The world faces three major threats, from these Zionists, corporatist globalist oligarchs, and Islamists. The way to stop this is closed borders and self sufficient countries.

Final Battle. Donbass And Zaporozhzhye Lines Crack (The Duran)
The entire Donbass region is set to fall into Russian hands shortly. The discussion turns to the further advances and the economic fallout from oil shortages and looming secondary US sanctions. The Russians also look set to upgrade the conflict to a full scale war. They likely held off while buffering their economy to prevent too much civilian hardship.
Another reason for holding off an upgrade to the SMO was to build up arms supplies. If Iran can produce thousands of drones and ballistic missiles then the Russians are likely stockpiling many hundreds of thousands of weapons, if not millions. You can imagine that the targeted numbers of theatre ballistic missiles is probably in the hundreds of thousands, with production line factories turning out a masses of finished products every month.

Watters: Fauci knew he BLEW IT (Fox News)
Fox News host Jesse Watters discusses the release of Dr. Anthony Fauci's diary on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.
BOMBSHELL: DR. FAUCI'S DIARY JUST LEAKED... AND IT'S BAD
"The Press is HOT and HEAVY about ME... I am the MOST FAMOUS person in the WORLD"
"One person said that Tyra Banks was SEXY... but that I was even MORE SEXY than SHE WAS"
CNN'S Jake Tapper even INVITED Fauci over for DINNER... during LOCKDOWNS
Fauci CONFESSED he KNEW COVID wasn't as DEADLY as he claimed it WAS
Editorial comment: The most important admission in the diary is Fauci wrote that the Covid mortality rate was near zero when he publicly told everyone it was around 1%. He knew the jabs were not stopping transmission, something that many dissenters knew, from the jab company information, but went on TV saying the opposite. He was lying almost all of the time.
His diary shows he was an ego maniac, enamoured with the media and celebrity, and I would argue that he was also psychopath, not caring about the harm he was doing while furthering himself. I regard him as a serial killer considering his previous push of the anti-HIV drug AZT that likely killed many thousands of people. When Covid struck he recommended the use of another dangerous (and experimental) drug, Remdesivir, that had worsened patient outcomes during an Ebola outbreak. As someone who pushed these two drugs, and the experimental Covid shots, that he said was 'safe and effective, he's clearly guilty of tricking people into taking an experimental medicine which is a crime against humanity.

An Islamist stabs three women in Paris and the authorities try to cover up the motive.

This Could Be the Greatest Mystery in Human History (Michael Button)
For almost all of history, we weren't alone.
Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo erectus, Homo floresiensis and others all shared the world with us. They made tools, buried their dead, created art, cared for the sick and even interbred with our own species.
So if they were so similar to us... why are we the only humans left?
Homo Sapiens may have co-mingled with these other species and/or killed them off if they were noticeably different. Different human tribes have warred against each other for eons while, at the same time, there has been trade between different groups. But if these other groups had some radical behavioural feature, or morphological difference, they would have certainly been subjected to warfare from Homo Sapiens. Consider today's human populations with distinct groupings of Asians, Africans, Arabs, and Europeans, separated by difficult-to-traverse terrain rather than these groups living side by side. And within each racial group there are further divisions that has led to internal warring. This does not bode well for the peaceful co-mingling hypothesis.

Why Is Ukraine Suddenly Bombing Iran? (Kim Iversen)
Ukraine just opened a second front — striking Russian and Iranian vessels in the Caspian Sea and killing an Iranian sailor, with Tehran vowing the attack "cannot go unanswered," Zelensky shrugging that "Iran attacked us first," and even the Kremlin comparing it to the provocations before World War I.
China should think about stepping in more overtly in the wars to shake up the neocons that are pushing them. They're pushing things thinking that their opponents will eventually collapse, but it will be Western economies that fall apart first. Ukraine attacking Iran potentially inserts Russia into the Iran war, a tactic to get more (public) Western support. The problem is that they can't succeed militarily, and an economic calamity will come first before any Western victory.

Did America Run Out of Missiles? (Kim Iversen)
The New York Times reports Trump has quietly shelved plans to escalate against Iran — because the Pentagon's stockpile of Patriot interceptors is running dangerously low. Confronted with the report, Mike Waltz blames Biden, denies the depletion in the same breath, and says the leakers "deserve to be in jail." Meanwhile the war chorus gets louder: Fox's Sid Rosenberg demands "complete annihilation" of Iran and insists the troops knew what they "signed up for," while Ben Shapiro declares Americans "willing to undergo those casualties" in pursuit of victory. Then the Lindsey Graham material: resurfaced footage of him celebrating the war's start, a recorded call promising Netanyahu he'd push Trump to "join with y'all in Lebanon" — and Miriam Adelson's own tribute confirming Sheldon spoke with Graham every single day, "about Israel." So the question stands: if the missiles are running out, who exactly is this war for?

Russia’s NEW Anti-Drone Tanks Just Entered Combat (History Legends)
Analysis of the first visually confirmed combat deployment of Russian modernized T-72B3A tanks equipped with upgraded anti-drone Arena-M APS.
Armoured vehicles need multi layered anti drone systems to be effective. They need a small turret with a short barrelled 30-57mm gun that can knock down drones at medium range in addition to the system described here. The APS described here requires more explosive charges, possibly with stacked rounds, so that rather than 12 rounds they should have at least 100. Another thing to consider is thicker overall armour protection.
The other thing the Russians should be doing is building massive drone armies, including FPV drones that have longer ranges, to completely saturate the battlefield. Every battle field area should be overrun by thousands of drones, not a few hundred, or a few dozen.

SBS Australia | Carmel Travers: Truth, Lies, and Intelligence 2005 (Waka)
Originally aired 2005. "In March 2003 thousands of Australian troops and others were sent to fight a ‘war’ as part of a pre-emptive strike on the sovereign nation of Iraq, a country from whom there was no threat. Two years on, in the wake of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi casualties, the Australian military reports its first casualty in the conflict while the American death toll stands at nearly two thousand. This being the a result of an invasion which has all but destroyed a foreign nation and seen millions made homeless, families destroyed, hundreds of thousands of deaths, leaving a legacy of destruction and religious division instilled in its wake. How did the Australian government come to play a part in this terror?"
This important mainstream documentary points out that the war against Iraq was concocted by the neocons against a country that was no threat to the USA. One Australian intelligence officer resigned in protest about the lies and went to the media. It caused a fair amount of fuss at the time but did not stop the conflict. The war did not come about because of 'faulty intelligence' but deliberate lies. Claims made by US politicians, where they said they knew where Weapons of Mass Destruction were located, and that there were ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda, were not backed up by any (confirmed) intelligence, especially when it came to the WMDs:
WMD LIES - Bush Cheney Rumsfeld etc. - THE ULTIMATE CLIP (acerlghp)
The bottom line is that invading Iraq was a war of aggression, and a crime. The fact that nothing was done to hold the criminals accountable led to further regime change wars in Libya and Syria, and also Ukraine, and has led to millions of deaths and the mass migration crisis in Europe.
Subsequent to the airing of this SBS documentary an unredacted version of the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq was released that stated the country was no threat to the US, or to countries in the region, unless it was attacked.
The US Congress, that authorised military action, was given an altered version of this report that implied the opposite. The unredacted document proved the war was launched on lies and was completely unnecessary. A hearing organised by US Congressman Dennis Kucinich brought to light this critical information:
