Putin Withering Reply To 'Insolent' Zelensky Letter; Kiev Drones To Fail Oreshnik May Target Europe (Alexander Mercouris)

Alexander Mercouris of The Duran delivers a comprehensive breakdown of Putin's St. Petersburg Economic Forum press conference, where the Russian president confirmed that every strike on Ukraine with the Oreshnik hypersonic system has been a combat test and that the missile is now being perfected specifically for strikes on populated urban areas, a clear signal that Kyiv's command centers are the intended target. Mercouris argues that Putin's message to the West was entirely uncompromising: Russia is advancing on every section of the front line, the Ukrainian army is losing 40,000 men a month it cannot replace, the Anchorage agreement is as far as Moscow will ever go on concessions, and Zelensky's open letter summit plea is nothing more than a freeze dressed as diplomacy, designed to buy time rather than end the conflict. With Kostiantynivka on the verge of falling and Oreshnik strikes on Kyiv now in active preparation, is Europe's strategy of magical thinking finally approaching its moment of reckoning?

Armenia Pashinyan Repeats Ukraine's Maidan Mistake, Disaster Looms (The Duran)

Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is steering his country toward the European Union and NATO in what Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran call a near carbon copy of the Maidan playbook that devastated Ukraine, with Russia now cutting Armenian agricultural imports and energy pressure looming over an economy that depends on Moscow for over 80% of its power. While Pashinyan promises his people the best of both worlds and a future referendum on alignment, Mercouris argues Armenia is already retreating on every front, having lost Nagorno Karabakh, alienated its primary security guarantor, and left itself encircled by a hostile Azerbaijan and Turkey with no credible Western replacement in sight. Can the EU and US actually prop up a small landlocked country surrounded by rivals, or is Armenia walking blindly into the same trap that brought Ukraine to the brink?

"USS Liberty: Dead In The Water" (BBC Documentary 2002)

On June 8th, 1965, during the Six-Day War, Israel attacked and nearly sank the USS Liberty belonging to its closest ally, the USA. Thirty-four American servicemen were killed and over 170 wounded in the two-hour assault by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats.

Israel claimed that the whole affair had been a tragic accident based on mistaken identification of the ship. The American government accepted the explanation. For more than 30 years many people have disbelieved the official explanation but have been unable to rebut it convincingly.

Now, "Dead in the Water" uses startling new evidence to reveal the truth behind the seemingly inexplicable attack. The film combines dramatic reconstruction of the events, with new access to former officers in the US and Israeli armed forces and intelligence services who have decided to give their own version of events. Interviews include President Lyndon Johnson's Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, former head of the Israeli navy, Admiral Shlomo Errell, and members of the USS Liberty crew.

Eyes Wide Shut: Gross Negligence with NIST Denial of Molten Metal on 9/11 - AE911Truth.org

John Gross, lead structural engineer of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) denies the vast witnessed and documented evidence of molten metal found at all 3 World Trade Center towers destroyed on 9/11.



2 minutes of proof that the official narrative was a lie. Molten structural steel was seen, and documented, all over the rubble pile. There's photos of it, and the solidified aftermath. Also melted concrete. Building fires cannot cause such a phenomenon, even ones hit with aeroplanes. You need a lot of energy to do this. Imagine the amount of coal and air needed to forge iron, and then consider structural beams. The contents of an office building, or quick lasting jet fuel, cannot possibly do what was seen. And so, from this single point, you KNOW the 911 attacks involved inside help.

Seyed M. Marandi: Hormuz Toll, Strike On Kuwait, Israel Decline & Iranian Nuclear Bomb? (Glenn Diesen)

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi is a former advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiation team. Prof. Marandi discusses how Iran's toll booth is already operating, why Iran hit Kuwait, the decline of Israel & the suspicions that Iran will now acquire a nuclear weapon for deterrence.



Marandi points out that the ceasefire has been a joke, that the US keeps violating it, and that the blockade is an ongoing act of war. He also reminds the audience that Israel continues to attack Lebanon and Gaza, something that triggered an Iranian response previously. For an end to the conflict, these acts must stop. 

Despite everything that is happening, Iran still refuses to acquire a nuclear weapon, although public and political sentiment in the country may be changing. The main thing driving an end to the fighting, from the Western position, is looming oil shortages.

Putin Reveals Oreshnik Plan. West Desperate to Get Conflict Freeze (The Duran)

Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down Putin's St Petersburg press conference and reveal what Western coverage is missing: a deepening split inside the Russian Security Council, with Putin standing virtually alone in keeping the door open to the Anchorage agreement while Lavrov, Medvedev, and the rest push for a harder line. The Duran examines Zelensky's open letter as a coordinated Western operation timed to the forum, the reality behind the House Ukraine aid bills, the fading influence of Russia's business oligarchs, and why the Oreshnik is being quietly perfected for strikes on Kiev command centers. Is Putin running out of time to close a deal with Trump before the window shuts and a new Democratic administration resets everything?

Zionists Now THREATENING Every U.S. Politician With Jewish Money! (Jimmy Dore)

This segment features criticism Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger direct at pro-Israel political organizations, particularly the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) and AIPAC, after the RJC celebrated spending more than $5 million to help defeat Representative Thomas Massie. They argue that statements from pro-Israel advocates about using political donations to influence elections amount to an open admission of political power and influence, while claiming that critics who point this out are often labeled anti-Semitic.

The discussion also examines comments from pro-Israel activist Ronald Lauder calling for a large-scale effort to combat what he describes as anti-Israel misinformation online and in the media. The conversation then broadens into criticism of U.S. foreign policy, lobbying, media narratives, intelligence agencies, and allegations of political manipulation surrounding issues such as Israel, Gaza, and January 6.

California Mayor & Gov Vote Rigging is So Bad Everyone is Noticing (Salty Cracker)

Establishment vote rigging at work again, and once again it's the Democrat side doing the rigging - although it has not been exclusively them in the past. The video covers delayed counting, thousands of late mail-in ballots, 24,000 votes to 0 for one ballot drop? It's corruption central.

Only a completely transparent system, with same day counting, like in most other countries, with independent observers, and hand counting, can end doubt when it comes to US election results.

Jimmy Argues With Grok About Conspiracy Theories! (Jimmy Dore)

AI tends to give the user establishment summations when it comes to various issues. When it comes to the truth about conspiracies, the only saving grace is when you drill down into the evidence the AI does act logically and changes its 'mind'.

Additional clipped editorial comment taken from social media:

Good points are raised in this clip about the term conspiracy theory. Most of them are actually true, some are not, but they each need to be evaluated on their own merits.

The term is most often used as a pejorative, framing the idea that relatively complex corruption, by people in authority, despite numerous historical examples, doesn't happen, or doesn't happen for those incidents associated with the term. It smears any claimant as being being mentally ill - that they are forming wild beliefs without solid evidence, or in the complete absence of evidence.

The truth is the term was weaponised by the CIA in the 1960s to counter people questioning the official narrative when it came to the assassination of President Kennedy. The actual CIA document directing this use has been posted many times before.

It's a way of putting up a psychological wall to stop the general public from examining real questions that have been raised by serious individuals looking at hard points of data that fly in the face of official narratives - often coming from official sources and documentation.

The issue Dore raises with Grok is that it simply starts off using the term as a pejorative. This makes sense because the AIs often take establishment summaries of issues rather than a more nuanced understanding. The AIs need promoting to dig further and then realise their mistake.

When I talk about a conspiracy theory issue I never frame it using those words, except to critique the term, before going into the particular issue looking at the evidence at hand. The key thing to think about is the term 'conspiracy theory' is part of a wider campaign to sway how you think about things, and functions within a wider disinformation framework. It's psychological warfare 101, playing on your presumptions, and mentality, to distract away from a rational evaluations of things. 7mins clip.

ps. I put in more detail about the term than Dore raises, but the video does a good job explaining how the AI operate, or fail to, when it comes to controversial matters that require a bit more digging.

Enoch Powell: "Large Parts of Our Cities Will Be Occupied by People with Nothing in Common with Us" (TheUnionCollective)

"It was a terrific explosion of relief. At last, somebody had drawn attention to what was altering their lives but nobody apparently had noticed."

In this rarely‑seen segment from his 1971 interview with Dick Cavett, Enoch Powell explains the real context behind his infamous 1968 speech.

He wasn't predicting rivers of blood. He was describing a simple demographic reality.

Key moments from this clip:

"There was never any distinction between one British subject and another. There was no way of labelling the British subject who belonged to this country." Powell explains how the old Empire system allowed unrestricted movement, and why that became a problem when the numbers grew .

"Unless some drastic change happens, large parts of many of our cities will by the beginning of the next century be occupied by a population which has nothing in common with the people of this country." – His 1968 warning, now a reality in 2026 .

"The phrase 'rivers of blood' was never used in connection with my speech. That phrase dates back to the 1964 election, if not earlier." Powell sets the record straight on the most famous misquote in British political history .

"It was a terrific explosion of relief. At last, somebody had drawn attention to something happening which was altering their lives but nobody apparently had noticed." He describes the public reaction that pollsters have confirmed: over 70% of Britons agreed with him in 1968 .

The context the media never gives you

Powell was not a street brawler or a carnival barker. He was a classical scholar, a brigadier, a professor of Greek at 25 and the man who, as Health Minister, actively recruited Caribbean nurses to work in the NHS .

His 1968 speech was a response to the Race Relations Bill, which he believed would discriminate against the indigenous population. He argued that pretending numbers didn't matter was "like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre" .

Within two weeks of the speech, he received over 43,000 letters the vast majority praising him. Dockers marched on Westminster chanting "Enoch". Polls put public support at over 70% .

Why this clip matters

The establishment has spent 50 years trying to bury this man and his arguments. But the questions he raised about integration, national identity, and demographic change have never gone away.

They just got harder to ignore.
