ARE THEY INSANE? Now War With CHINA and RUSSIA?? (Kim Iversen)

Kim thought the Iran war was reckless enough — now she sees the machine turning toward Russia and China. The tell: Laura Loomer, fresh off a Kyiv trip, flipping from "make a deal with Russia" to full-throated Ukraine support — and Nikki Haley asking who's feeding Iran the satellite imagery that hit US bases, answering her own question: China and Russia. Kim lays out the coalition math of building a world war: Europe won't fight Iran but will fight Russia, Japan and Taiwan line up against China, and suddenly everyone's interests point at the same fight. She breaks down the WSJ report that China and Russia likely gave Iran targeting support for the deadly Jordan strike, then takes apart Trump's declassified bombshell — China allegedly stealing 220 million voter files in "the largest compromise of election data in history" — by asking the obvious question: what exactly did they steal, when voter rolls, party registration, and donation records are already public? She calls out the whiplash hypocrisy (Russiagate was a conspiracy theory, but Chinagate is gospel?), unpacks the coming Chinese AI ban and why "they're stealing our tech" is decades out of date, and lands on the conclusion she didn't want to reach: historians may one day say World War III began in 2014, or 2022, or 2026 — because we're already in it. Her advice? Hunker down.



While the neocons want to see China and Russia, and also Europe, diminished - so they can be free to do whatever they want in the Middle East - the end result will simply be a split in the world between the West, that is mired in debt, high energy costs and mass migration, and the BRICS nations. The neocon project against Russia and China, although damaging, will fail, although Europe seems doomed.

However, the rise of global tensions, and a hard economic/political split, might actually bring about the end of the globalists (technocrats) who have bitten off more than they can chew at every turn. They want to bring about an oppressive system of control but they'll end up stuck in the middle of a worldwide economic calamity and kicked out of power. For both neocons and globalists, what they are doing is folly. Everyone can see what they're doing and they are not operating from a position of strength compared to their opposition. Money printing and propaganda can only go so far.

COL. Douglas Macgregor : US Abandons Its Gulf Allies (Judging Freedom)

The US doesn't have much choice but to abandon their Gulf State allies. They've painted themselves into a corner. They simply cannot escape attacks from Iranian drones and ballistic missiles.

It's important to note that Iran does not attack other countries, except in retaliation, or if Israel tries to ethnically cleanse people in Gaza or Lebanon. The war we see today has been an attempt by Israel to destroy Iran, something they may still push at the expense of US military forces. The chance of success is extremely low. 

The video also covers the war in Ukraine, where Russia is close to overrunning the last fortress positions in the East. An overall escalation is on the way.

Iran's Ballistic Missiles Hit Jordan Base: Here's What The US Won't Tell You (Judging Freedom)

The general population of the Middle East doesn't want the US occupying their countries. Max rightly points out that Jordan is simply a buffer zone for Israel against other Arab states. Iran's missiles, with Russian targeting, are making US bases in the region uninhabitable. The writing is on the wall for expelling US forces from the region, having them withdraw to bases within Israel, which can still be targeted.

Israelis Continue To Show Just How Psychotic They Are (Kim Iversen)

West Bank stories getting almost no Western coverage. First, testimony from an American doctor, interviewed by Katie Halper, recounting what he says he witnessed at a mass grave in Gaza — including two children buried alive by soldiers with a bulldozer. Then the footage: dozens of masked settlers descending on a village in Masafer Yatta in the middle of the night — smashing the mosque's windows and trying to burn it, torching cars, hurling gasoline through a window where a child slept, stoning a pregnant woman, destroying the village's only yogurt factory (its main employer of women) — and spraying "revenge" on the wall on their way out. A villager describes watching it unfold, certain he'd be next. Finally, Kim reads a settler's own viral manifesto: leaving his "luxurious penthouse," obtaining weapons licenses, and moving his family onto an isolated farm beside a Palestinian village for one stated purpose — to make a Palestinian state impossible — vowing to "live by the sword." Kim's response: flip it around. If armed foreign squatters seized empty land in Texas claiming historic rights, they'd be jailed or deported — so why does Washington fund it here? Her conclusion: this is what the money is buying, and Americans deserve to see it.

Neil Oliver Interviews The Duran ‘…they’re trying to BREAK us!’

‘…they’re very skilled at crushing people…’ The Duran are Alexander Mercouris & Alex Christoforou.



The video points out that the concocted war against Russia is a vehicle used to crush ordinary people, to redo elections, to have a surveillance state, to basically do anything in support of the neocon and globalist agenda. The big hope is that a mass of young people, who are connected to the Internet, will reject what the megalomaniacs in power have planned. You can only push people so far before there is a revolt. And if an economic crisis occurs, via oil shortages, then change will come sooner rather than later.

Alasdair Macleod: China Ends Retail Paper Gold & Opens the Floodgates (Mining Network)

Alasdair Macleod, economist and leading voice on sound money, returns to Mining Network to break down China’s rapidly accelerating gold strategy and what it means for Western paper markets, the dollar, and global monetary order.

Earlier this month Hong Kong launched its new gold central clearing and settlement system. This week several major Chinese banks (including ICBC) will end retail paper gold trading on the Shanghai Gold Exchange. At the same time, Beijing is easing long-standing restrictions on gold exports between the mainland and Hong Kong. Macleod argues these moves are not isolated — they form part of a deliberate, decades-long plan to secure the yuan against the eventual failure of the Western fiat system.



Both China and Russia hold a lot of gold. Alasdair warns that Western countries are up to their eyeballs in debt and are set for a big fall when Bond rates go up. He thinks that the wars in Ukraine and Iran will help push the West into a corner in terms of their economic positions. This would likely be due to a shortage of oil. The US cannot win against Iran, and Russia is winning in Ukraine where gas supplies to Europe are shut off. Western countries are going backwards economically as their levels of debt balloon.

The Odyssey: Shattering the Media Myth | Is It REALLY As Successful as The Shills CLAIM? (Doomcock)

The critics and the mainstream media have built a myth around The Odyssey, a myth that it's a massive success, a myth designed to forward their desperate narrative...but is it REALLY as successful as they claim? Analysis following the opening weekend suggest that not everything is as it seems when it comes to The Odyssey...



The reason why rejecting woke films is important is because they are propaganda vehicles for the DEI agenda that's tied into globalism. Going woke is about breaking down people's identity, crushing their spirit, and generally diminishing/disrespecting men, and also rational thought, and is aimed at destroying the family. It's an attack on Western values and civilisation.

If Western values, of individualism, reason, and effort, are erased then the world will be plunged into a dystopian collectivist future.

AMERICA LAST: Congress Surrenders Our Military to Israel (Kim Iversen)

This is what treason looks like, and it shows how the US is a controlled country. Pretty much all of the Republicans voted for this bill, and the Dems that voted against it did so for other reasons, not because they were against handing the US military over to the Israelis. Kim correctly states that the military is what keeps countries sovereign. Is this even constitutional? The politicians who have done this should be arrested.

Iran's REAL Strategy Will Change the Middle East Forever (Lotus Eaters)

Very good short video covering Iran's strategy in the war, where it can take out the economic viability of the surrounding States in the region, to drive off the US, along with destroying their military bases. While these countries would economically collapse, so would the rest of the world due to oil shortages. The situation might also throw a spanner in the works when it comes to globalism in general.

The Jab Didn't Work, Ivermectin & Hydroxichloroquine Did & THEY KNEW ALL ALONG! w/ Jessica Rose PhD (Viva Frei)

The clip looks at a military document from August 2021 that fully describes the fact that Covid was a laboratory created virus and Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were effective against it. The authorities knew key facts about the virus, the existing treatments, and the inherent problems with the mRNA shots but ran a lie-based counter narrative. Dr Rose points out that the jabs only had a narrow window of operation - against the spike protein (that morphed) - while being highly dangerous. Both the mRNA and the lipids were harmful. Those in command authority positions, that pushed the dangerous experimental jabs on the public, are guilty of crimes against humanity. They need to be prosecuted and sent to prison.

El Salvador jailed 2% of its men. Here's what happened.(Ken LaCorte)

"A few years ago, it was the murder capital of the world. Today, your chances of getting murdered in El Salvador are lower than anywhere in North or South America. Was the solution worth the cost?" – Ken



Bukele engaged in a scorched earth policy and it worked. While some innocent people were caught up in the mass arrests it ended the gangs that had been terrorising the country. One could liken this to waging war - where innocent civilians are killed in the process of achieving victory to protect the interests of the State and the people. It's ugly, but in desperate times desperate measures are often taken. The alternative is a continuing cycle of murder. For hardened gangs, group therapy is not going to work. The problem now is the loss of checks and balances for those in office, since they used sweeping powers to repair the country, plus general corruption by those running the institutions.

14,500-Year-Old HUGE, Decorated Prehistoric Building + Major Natufian Settlement! (Ancient Architects)

Karahan Tepe is one of the most mind-blowing sites of the ancient world, with origins dating back to around 11,400 years ago.

The size and scale of the settlement is impressive, but the architectural feats are what really excite the imagination. They are incredible – intricate, carefully planned and well-made. They were built by people who knew exactly what they were doing.

But how did they know how to do it?

It looks like they had a well-planned, well-developed, tried and tested method of construction, and obviously it worked, because we know the building was in use for many generations, and the key structural elements still survive today, thousands of years later.

Some claim the enclosures appeared almost as if by magic, with the people of ancient Anatolia transitioning from primitive hunter-gatherers to gifted engineers and builders, almost overnight. It like more advanced people came to teach the primitive people how to do it.

But as I’ve showed over the past few years on this channel, there was no giant leap in knowledge, and there are many pre-cursor sites all over the Fertile Crescent and beyond.

Wadi Hammeh 27 is one such site. It dates back to 14,500 years ago, meaning it's 3,000 years older than Karahan Tepe and Gobekli Tepe. Experts believed it was a kind of base camp to the ancient Natufian people, a forerunner of the sedentary settlements we find in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic.

In this video, I'm going to take a look at Structure 2 in Wadi Hammeh 27, and compare it to Structure AD of Karahan Tepe, to hopefully show how people already had the skills, technology and knowhow to build complex structures, thousands of years before Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe.



It's likely that the development of human civilisation was lopsided, with some cultures leaping ahead of other groups, and then disappearing. In relation to Karahan Tepe and Gobekli Tepe, it does look like there were at least two major phases of building, or occupation, with the pillars coming first followed by the rough stone wall phase. This channel is correct to point out that there were many precursor settlements to Karahan Tepe and Gobekli Tepe. Which ones made great leaps forward when it came to creating megalithic structures? They had thousands of years to do so.

America's Own Words Coming Back to Haunt Them /Prof Seyed Marandi (Daniel Davis)

While the US claims to have destroyed Iranian military capabilities the Iranians continue to strike back. Key Iranian military infrastructure is underground. Missiles, drones, aircraft, attack boats, and other equipment is stored underground. The simple fact of the matter is that the Iranians will be able to keep fighting longer than there are oil reserves. When the oil starts to run out, due to the sea blockades, they'll be an economic crisis that may end the war. 

Marandi points out that the MOU could have ended the fighting but it was violated. Trump has now threatened to destroy power plants and bridges. If the US attacks this infrastructure then Iran will destroy power stations throughout the region. This will guarantee an economic calamity.  

The end result of a global economic depression may be the end of the globalised world. Things are already on the brink when it comes to the globalist agenda with 'far right' parties now being the most popular in the West. An economic disaster will hopefully end both the war and the globalist world order. 

Note: The main thing to consider is the economic calamity on the way. Plenty of warnings have now been issued. Fuel rationing and financial market chaos is coming fairly soon.

It’s Worse Than We Thought (Paz49)

Much of the hatefulness and intolerance in politics actually comes from large sections of the left against people on the right and centre. If you are against globalist ideas, such as net zero, and mass migration, many of them want you dead. Also, a fair number of people who identify as leftists are mentally ill. In this case the details of Ann Widdecombe's murder were kept hidden to prevent the public from understanding this was an extremely violent politically motivated murder, conducted by someone who appears to have had mental issues. 

The video ends with a general observation that people on the right and centre don't want to see their political opponents killed. If you are a leftist and don't want your political opponents killed, then don't throw that thinking away. The people on the right, and centre, want a better world just as much as those on the left. Communicating with one another is the way to get there - not through putting up walls to information and ideas.

23,000-Year-Old Settlement & Earliest Cultivation: Ohalo II | Ancient Architects

There’s an archaeological site in Northern Israel, situated on the southwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee and it’s one of the most fascinating and important ancient sites that hardly anyone has ever heard of.

It’s one of the best-preserved hunter-gatherer sites of the Last Glacial Maximum, yes, we’re talking about a site 23,000 years old.

It’s called Ohalo II, and it wasn’t a mere seasonal camp, it was a permanent settlement, occupied throughout the year – and for many generations, which, in the current state of knowledge, is somewhat unique for a site so old.

But it’s what was discovered at the site that makes it so incredible. It contains two things that today, with the current level of research, can be called the ‘world’s oldest’.

Firstly, it has the world’s oldest brush dwellings, but also, and most importantly, it contains evidence of the world’s oldest small-scale plant cultivation, some 11,000 years before the onset of agriculture in the Fertile Crescent.

Watch this video to learn more about Ohalo II, a settlement 11,000 years older than Göbekli Tepe, and the evidence for ice age farming - and planting the seeds of civilization.

It's Israel's War — So Why Won't Iran Hit Israel? (Kim Iversen)

While Trump and Hegseth tell Americans they've "obliterated" Iran's military, Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi joins Kim from inside Tehran — under nightly bombing — with a starkly different account. He argues Iran is actually stronger than when the war began, producing more missiles and drones, firing day and night at U.S. assets across the Persian Gulf, Jordan, and northern Iraq, and that America's biggest miscalculation was never understanding Iran's vast network of underground missile and drone bases — or the depth of domestic support the government holds, which he says was visible in funerals too massive for Western media to hide. He walks through what he frames as Trump's serial violations of the signed MOU (withheld assets, reinstated oil sanctions, the Strait of Hormuz corridor), why Iran has shifted to hitting U.S. bases rather than striking Israel directly, and his warning that continued strikes on civilian infrastructure could tip the region — and the global economy — toward a depression worse than the 1930s. Kim and Marandi also get into the nuclear question and Iran's religious ruling against these weapons, the shifting views of young American Jews, and, in a sobering final exchange, the personal risk Marandi takes by speaking at all — separating himself from his family in case of a missile strike, and why he says he has no other option but to speak out.



The Iranians are not striking Israel at this time because they want the Israelis to remove Netanyahu through their own elections. Also, it's only the US striking Israel at the moment. The current primary goal is to end the war via their blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

What the Iranians are doing now is mass producing drones, which can be easily done, and continuing their production of ballistic missiles. They will not be losing any of these key capabilities since they are all based underground - inside mountains.

The idea that the Strait will reopen due to US military force, or that infrastructure in the region is safe from missile and drone attacks, is misguided. Ceasing military activity is the only way out for the US and Israel short of genocidal WMD attacks (which would only come after a false flag).  

If the war continues along its present course the world will suffer an economic crisis due to oil restrictions before Iran runs out of drones and missiles.
