Paul Craig Roberts: Putin's Mistake - Letting the West Attack Russia (Glenn Deisen)

Paul Craig Roberts is an economist and former United States Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy. Roberts argues the US is in rapid decline economically and it is defeated in Iran. Roberts expresses concerns that a great power like Russia allowed the West to become comfortable with attacking Russia, which suggests that much instability is coming.



The clip opens with Paul Craig Roberts pointing out that the US is under the thumb of neocons that have been driving the Greater Israel project ever since the 911 (false flag) attacks. The war on terror has been about regime change, and it's now moved on to Iran. He adds that US Presidents are not really in full control of their administrations, going from his own experience and from what we've seen recently.

Roberts thoughts on Russia's conduct of the war in Ukraine, that they have not moved strongly enough to quickly destroy their opposition, are insightful. Over time this drawn out war has led to the idea that the Russians can be toyed with, by other Western powers, without much consequence. However, while this might be true kinetically the war is actually bleeding Europe economically.

The Russian war plan, while it was somewhat inept at the beginning, might now be for the war to drag on such that Europe falls apart without them having to fight them directly. Already we are seeing populist parties gaining ground in Germany, France, and the UK and elsewhere.

The Western-Israeli idea of waging proxy war is now backfiring in a world beset by globalist/neo-liberal economic and societal policies - where debt levels are sky high, where industry has been outsourced, where NET ZERO driven energy costs has destroyed whatever is left, and where mass migration has caused untold problems.

I think Putin let west attack because he wants' west to bleed financially and they are by supporting the most corrupt regime in the world bleeding to death in their own countries, without russia fighting them. A very smart move by Putin.

Voting Can’t Break the Oligarchy. This Will. (Jimmy Dore)

Seyed M. Marandi: U.S.-Iran War Enters a New Dangerous Phase (Glenn Deisen)

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi is a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiation team. Marandi discusses a new phase of the US-Iran War as both the US and Iran aim to assert escalation dominance.



Iran's new leader is in favour of an aggressive war vs the US, striking them wherever they can, to drive them out of the region. Iran is not attacking Israel, that continues to bomb Lebanon, since they are scheduled for upcoming elections. Any Iranian attacks on Israel will drive the public towards supporting Netanyahu that the Iranians want voted out of office. The bottom line is that oil supplies will be restricted for some time.

Sanity at last in the Tobacco Wars? Topher Project Ep 471

After hundreds of firebombings, dozens of killings, countless home invasions and carjackings not to mention untold millions of Aussie dollars funneled to terrorists...

... finally 10 YEARS after I warned that the tobacco tax would create a 'Gangsters Paradise'... finally our politicians are catching up.

First One Nation, then the Nationals, now the Liberal Party. All promising to SLASH the excise, and some promising to drop the prohibition on VAPING as well.

Why Australians are poorer and angry (Leithvo)

This interview with Luke Grant at Radio 2GB/4BC explains why Australians are feeling poorer, are considerably more grumpy, and are seeking alternatives like One Nation. I also lambast Anika Wells' gaslighting on the housing crisis.



Some very straightforward observations about the Australian economy from Leith van Onselen. It's not rocket science. The problem is that we are being ruled by globalist ideologues who have tanked the economy and tanked living conditions thanks to mass migration and NET ZERO. Even before these policies cut deep the country had been deindustrialised via industry offshoring (via neo-liberal economic thinking as opposed to protectionism).

One of the World's Deadliest Volcanoes Just Went Nuts...(Stafan Burns)

Starting on September 4th 2026 a major volcanic eruption hit Anak Krakatau (Krakatoa) Volcano in Indonesia, sending an ash plume at least 15 km (50,000 ft) above sea level into the stratosphere. If this volcanic eruption scales up to be even bigger, Indonesia and even the world could be in some big trouble. Geophysicist Stefan Burns reports...



The ash cloud will impact the global climate. After the 2022 Tonga eruption rainfall increased in certain locations around the world for a year. Another thing to consider is that the vast majority of volcanoes are underwater. What influence to they have on ocean temperatures and the global climate?

Russia Surrounds Key Donbas Towns Rejects Truce; Kharkov Troops Surrender; Witkoff Kushner In Moscow (Alexander Mercouris)

Russian forces are closing in on Ukraine’s key Donbas fortress towns while entire units surrender in the Kharkov region, right as Witkoff and Kushner touch down in Moscow to meet Putin. Alexander breaks down the battlefield collapse around Kostiantynivka, Dobropillya and Sloviansk, and explains why Putin’s answer to Zelensky’s ceasefire push is likely to be another firm rejection.

FBI Knows Jan. 5 DC Pipe Bomber Was a Cop - They Have Cell Data (Jimmy Dore)

Jimmy interviews investigative journalist Steve Baker about the January 5, 2021 pipe-bomb case, with Baker explaining that evidence points to law-enforcement involvement and criticizing the federal investigation and arrest of Brian Cole Jr. Baker focuses on an alleged FirstNet phone ping near both bomb locations and claims that FBI and congressional officials were briefed that the number belonged to law enforcement, while also discussing surveillance footage, Capitol Police activity, and his forensic analysis of the suspect’s gait.

The discussion expands into broader allegations about January 6, the FBI, the Trump administration, and what the two describe as a lack of transparency surrounding the pipe-bomb investigation, with Jimmy also offering up his own theories about political motivations.



Trump's lack of interest in what's going on with the pipe bomber case, and no follow up with the various assassination attempts, indicate that he's been turned. Dore speculates that a deal was made where if he plays along with the Deep State then himself and family get huge benefits while avoiding legal harassment and assassination attempts. Remember that the Government is in the grip of (Epstein) pedophiles and murderers. Killing people is not a problem for these criminals. The only way things are likely to change is through a mass uprising - brought about by an economic catastrophe - or via a military coup.

ARGENTINA in Deep Trouble (Joe Blogs)

Argentina is back in the spotlight as Javier Milei faces growing pressure at home while dramatically escalating the country’s long-running dispute over the Falkland Islands.

In this video, I look at Argentina’s economy, inflation, Milei’s falling popularity, the new sanctions targeting companies involved in Falklands oil development, the huge Sea Lion oil project, and why Donald Trump’s comments have added a new dimension to the dispute.

Is this simply domestic politics and nationalism, or are we seeing the Falklands issue becoming much more serious again?



The Falkland Islanders don't want to be part of Argentina. That should be the end of the discussion. The UK could also back off when it comes to oil exploration, which has Israeli involvement. It would further help the UK if they improved their military presence on the Island. Apparently thousands of drones have been moved to the Island, some with a 1000 km range. This is a good start. More drones and more personnel are needed.

The Government BROKE the Contract — What Did They Expect? (Fast Jet Performance)

A government asks for loyalty, obedience and trust. But what happens when millions of people begin to believe that government has broken its side of the bargain?

After protesters blocked access to the Port of Dover, the familiar labels quickly appeared. But this video asks a more difficult question: what creates this level of anger and alienation in the first place?

I look back at the ordinary British men who fought at Crécy, Agincourt, the Somme and Normandy — men we now commemorate as heroes — and compare their place in society with the message many working-class men believe they receive in modern Britain.

From declining opportunities for disadvantaged young men and the RAF's controversial recruitment policies, to record levels of immigration, demographic change, border security and the changing labour market, this is about something bigger than one protest.

It's about the social contract.

A functioning country expects its citizens to contribute, obey the law and stand behind it when required. In return, those citizens expect security, opportunity, controlled borders, equal treatment and a government that listens to them.

When people believe that bargain has been broken, anger shouldn't come as a surprise.

"You have no expectation of privacy in public."

What if that isn't true? What if it was NEVER true, and you've been lied to?

What if RICH and POWERFUL people are using 'useful idiots' on the internet to LIE to you about your rights as they build a digital prison... with YOUR money?

What if the ENTIRE supposed 'legal' basis for these mass surveillance cameras and AI data centers... doesn't actually exist?

But more than that... The truth is the universal surveillance PRISON isn't about tech, or even about law... it's about us.

What will we accept?

As I say in my first book: "The limit of government power IS the limit of our obedience."



Is universal surveillance okay whether via CCTV or online monitoring? Stalking by private individuals is not allowed, and it's also not allowed by the State. Topher raises the US fourth amendment:

Fourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Out of Money, Out of Missiles: Zelensky Exit Plan as Trump Faces Ukraine Defeat (The Duran)

Ukraine's front lines are collapsing as Russian forces advance on Kharkov, Zaporizhzhia and Donbass all at once. In this episode we break down Zelensky's desperate push to close Russian airspace, the empty 90 billion euro loan and the very real chance Kiev's railway lifeline to Europe gets cut. Is this the checkmate moment that finally ends project Ukraine?



If the Ukrainians attempt to set up a Government in exile the Russians should issue arrest warrants and put out a bounty on these officials. Thus far the Ukrainian side have engaged in terroristic operations that could be used against them in a legal sense.

Yemen SHOCKS the West: Saudi-Backed Forces DESTROYED by DRONES, Losing Ground FAST | Robert Inlakesh (Rachel Blevins)

Iran unleashed another wave of strikes on U.S. Military bases in the Persian Gulf, this time going after communications, weapons depots, aircraft hangars, troop positions and radar systems, in Kuwait and the UAE.

This, as Yemen’s Armed Forces retaking ground from Saudi-backed mercenaries, and unveiling some impressive weapons in the process.

Independent Journalist Robert Inlakesh noted that: “Yemen is perhaps one of the most important fronts in this entire war,” and not only does Ansar Allah have ballistic missiles, but recent videos of its drones have shown just how precise they are in their targeting of tanks and forces on the ground.



The war is ramping up again. Secondary sanctions against countries that trade with Iran are on the cards, and resumed hostilities with Israel are likely. Iran and Israel are likely to devastate each other, along with other Gulf State countries. What this means is even less oil coming out of the region and a financial calamity. 

The clip highlights the fact there are more military actions happening involving Israel, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran and Saudi Arabia than is being aired in the media and none of it is good.
