The REAL REASON Israel Is Baiting TURKEY Into a War (Kim Iversen)

Israel just opened a new front — this time against a NATO ally. Israel struck the Abu al-Duhur airbase in northern Syria after warning Damascus not to allow Turkish troops to deploy near Aleppo; Syria ignored the warning, Israel struck without notifying Turkey, and US diplomats say only "calm heads" prevented Turkish jets from scrambling against what could have looked like an incoming attack on them. Thirty-six hours later, Israeli soldiers entered a Syrian village in Quneitra, drawing condemnation from Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Kim walks through the two-year arc: Israel occupying Syrian buffer zones since Assad's fall, striking T4, Palmyra and Hama sites Turkey had planned to use, Israel formally recognizing the Armenian genocide as a deliberate diplomatic rebuke to Ankara, the NATO summit where Trump backed F-35 sales to Turkey over Israeli objections, and Mark Levin calling the US ambassador to Turkey "Erdogan's lapdog."



Rather than directly attacking Turkey the Israelis are engaging them in Syria. This conflict seems intended to prevent the delivery of US F-35s to Turkey. The US would never allow this sale if these two countries were at war. Over the longer term Turkey is a target for destruction by the Israelis. Expect various ploys to bait Turkey into entering some sort of conflict - possibly against Greece:

Greece Just CROSSED A LINE Muslims Never EXPECTED (Steve Turley)

Greece is taking significant measures to address its migrant crisis, launching a crackdown on approximately 60 unlicensed mosques across Athens. Under new legislation, operating unauthorized religious sites is a criminal offense that could result in imprisonment and deportation for foreign nationals managing these locations. This move is part of Greece's broader strategy to assert national and cultural sovereignty amidst rising nationalist sentiments across Europe.

RED NOTICE: Turkey Wants Netanyahu ARRESTED.(Kim Iversen)

Turkey escalates in a different direction: a Turkish court issues a request for a Red Notice against Netanyahu — Interpol-level — on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity, torture and plunder stemming from the Gaza flotilla attack, with lobbying firms already working Washington to block it. Netanyahu's office responds by calling Erdogan "an antisemitic dictator who has massacred Kurds." Two NATO members, one alliance, zero coherent US position.

China Says HELL NO to U.S. Economic WAR as Iran Vows DEVASTATING Response (Rachel Blevins)

China was quick to refuse U.S. demands to cut off trade with Tehran, as President Trump is attempting to make “Economic D-Day” happen by going after countries that trade with Iran.

This, as the chief of staff for Iran’s armed forces is warning the U.S. that the Iranian military (which Trump keeps claiming no longer exists) is ready to meet an escalated economic war with “crushing, punishing and devastating responses.”

We Shouldn't Have To Tolerate This (Connor Tomlinson)

The Home Office has produced graphics telling asylum seekers to respect women's rights, consent, and not abuse children. If we have to explain this to them, they shouldn't be here.

The government knows this wouldn't be necessary if these people were just like us. They could refuse them entry and deport those already here.

Instead, they intend to impose foreign criminals on your neighbourhood, give them a lecture on "British values", and promise to deport them only after they commit their inevitable crimes.

We shouldn't have to live like this. We shouldn't be paying the benefits of millions of foreign nationals. We shouldn't suffer the optional atrocities perpetrated by predators who don't need to be here. Every politician who insists on importing them, despite knowing exactly who these people are, must be punished.

COL. Douglas Macgregor : Is Putin Losing Patience? (Judging Freedom)

The clip opens with Trump's tantrum at South Korea. It's like he's trying to cause a rift with every country on Earth. Is this the plan? 

Meanwhile US debt levels have hit 40 trillion. 

When it comes to Europe, the Russians have realised, after Ukraine struck their infrastructure, that the only way the war will end is via a military victory, which means a Ukrainian surrender.

Negotiations are off the table.

Macgregor thinks the conflict, driven by neocons and corrupt politicians, will end with an economic collapse and political revolution in Europe. He believes that Putin is betting on political changes in Europe to help end the fighting.

Trump's Economic Siege on Iran, China and BRICS Stand in the Way (The Duran)

While China might not be happy with the lack of oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz, this crisis has been brought about by the USA that has put Iran in a do or die situation. If the US and Israel agree to the MOU the Strait reopens. If they continue to threaten Iran then Iran has little choice by to defend itself by lashing out at US vassals in the region.

The 40-Year Bond Bubble Is Over: Most People Aren’t Prepared for What Comes Next. (maneco64)

The 40-year bull market in bonds is over, and the consequences could be far greater than most investors realize. After decades of falling interest rates, cheap credit and ever-growing debt, the financial system is now facing the opposite environment: structurally higher yields, soaring government borrowing costs and enormous debt burdens.

In this video, I explain why the bond market may be entering a long-term bear cycle, why governments and central banks could increasingly resort to financial repression and currency debasement, and why savers and bondholders could ultimately pay the price. I also look at why this new era could be increasingly bullish for gold, silver and other hard assets.

The era of easy money may be over. The question is: are you prepared for what comes next?

Local News Host IMMEDIATELY CUTS OFF Guest Mentioning Gaza Genocide! (Jimmy Dore)

During a recent South Florida TV interview, DSA congressional candidate Oliver Larkin said that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a statement host Glenna Milberg repeatedly called factually wrong before cutting short the interview. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that the definition of genocide includes what Israel has done in Gaza, including killings, serious harm, deprivation of necessities, and measures affecting births, while also criticizing Milberg’s framing of the conflict as merely “disproportionate wartime action.”

They then accuse U.S. and mainstream media institutions of being influenced by Zionism and argue that criticism of Israel is routinely suppressed or reframed, while making additional claims about Israeli policy and media figures. The segment concludes with the hosts arguing that Israel’s conduct has caused them to reject previously held prejudices and condemning what they characterize as systematic propaganda and censorship.

The conversation also covers the larger questions of U.S. military involvement overseas, Israel’s influence on American foreign policy, and the role of women in combat.

A British Man Was Just CONVICTED for Joking About Islam (Fast Jet Performance)

Has Britain brought back blasphemy laws through the back door? A retired British police officer, Stephen Gray, has been convicted after sharing a joke about Islam on Facebook — despite Britain abolishing its blasphemy laws in 2008.

Gray was prosecuted under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 after his Facebook post was judged “grossly offensive”. The Free Speech Union (FSU) is now supporting his appeal.

But this story raises a much bigger question about free speech in Britain: where exactly is the line between something that is offensive and something that is criminally offensive — and how is an ordinary person supposed to know when they have crossed it?

In this video I examine the Stephen Gray case, UK blasphemy laws, freedom of speech, criticism and ridicule of Islam, the Government's anti-Muslim hostility definition, and the extraordinary case of the Batley Grammar School teacher who showed an image of the Prophet Muhammad during a religious studies lesson.

The Government says people remain free to criticise, ridicule and insult Islam. Britain officially has no blasphemy law. So why are people still being arrested, prosecuted or convicted following offensive expressions concerning religion?

This isn't an argument for hostility towards Muslims. People should be protected from violence, threats and harassment. Ideas and religions, however, must remain open to criticism, disagreement, satire and ridicule.

Has Britain effectively recreated blasphemy restrictions without actually calling them blasphemy laws?

Watch the evidence and decide for yourself.



The West has a long history of having free speech where anything and everything is open to examination, criticism, and ridicule. If people don't like that tradition then they are free to leave.

Katie Hopkins: this is the stuff no one else will say on Mr Arday. From a woman who knows

Katie Hopkins has been treated terribly by the mainstream media and yet, she says, as a public figure, she can deal with it. She manages the attacks because she knows who she is - that she's not a fraud, and is actually a good person. The problem with Arday is the same cannot be said about him because he was a fraud. Being exposed seemed to be too much to bear and he erased himself. The fault lies with his actions and himself as a person. Some blame needs to be put on the University that should not have employed him which was done, most likely, thanks to DEI policies.

Major Banks Are About To Do The Unthinkable... Move Your Money Now! (Scott Kuru)

The banks are not cutting rates and changing lending rules because they feel generous. Something is shifting inside the Australian housing market, and the people with mortgages, investment properties or plans to buy need to understand what this means before making their next move. In this video, I explain why Australian banks are fighting harder for mortgage customers, how rising interest rates, property uncertainty and weaker buyer confidence are affecting the market, and why this could give households more negotiating power than they have had in years. Whether you are refinancing, buying your first home, investing in property or simply trying to protect your household budget, this market shift matters.



With a fall in house prices people are not taking out home loans. Banks are cutting their home loan interest rates, and dropping other requirements, in order to drum up business. However, things are set to get a lot worse considering what's happening in the Middle East. This video argues that house prices, even if there is a dip, will tend to rise over the longer term. The big problem is if there is a huge economic disaster. House prices could theoretically plummet. The trick is to pick the bottom. With the influx of migrants into Australia it is likely that a big fall could largely be negated.

Best comment from You Tube:

@tonyanton2676
The developed world—especially Australia—is trapped in an unprecedented poly-crisis, and almost nobody is calling out the root cause.

We have completely abandoned a productive economic system and replaced it with a toxic wealth-extraction machine. This structural shift has broken capitalism entirely. While global paper wealth is being pumped to record highs, actual economic productivity is plummeting at the exact same rate.

Douglas Macgregor: Russia's Patience Is Over - NATO & Ukraine Face New Reality (Glenn Diesen)

Douglas Macgregor is a retired Colonel, combat veteran, and former senior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Defense.



Continued drone strikes into Russia, and against shipping, have encouraged a stronger response from Moscow. Macgregor reports that the war is going badly in Ukraine for the Europeans and that Poland is withdrawing its support for the conflict. The Russians are poised for much greater advances and have moved rapidly in recent months. 

Russia is getting stronger while Europe slowly falls apart, economically and societally. The only way the war is likely to end is through a complete Russian military victory. Although they do not want to occupy Western Ukraine they might be forced to do so, after it is largely destroyed. If an occupation does occur, after a surrender, then the Russians would likely try to jail most of the Azov extremists who have pushed the conflict - El Salvador style. 

Meanwhile in the Middle East Iran refuses to backdown since they hold all the cards. They know more attacks will come in the future unless the US withdraws from the region.

As things stand, everything is happening to cause an economic collapse, via oil shortages. Macgregor points out that US citizens really have no interest in either Iran or Russia/Ukraine, and that the general public would be happy to see an end to US involvement. Without US support the Europeans, as a military block, are a paper tiger next to Russia. There will be nothing they can do to prevent the Russians from essentially defending themselves.

Diesel Crack Hits ALL-TIME HIGH — Economic NIGHTMARE Incoming (Kim Iversen)

Trump declares the Strait of Hormuz "New US Territory" — and insists there are no talks with Iran, none scheduled, while the blockade stays in "full force." Kim breaks down the competing realities: an Israeli Channel 14 correspondent claims Iran has lost the Hormuz battle outright, with 15 million barrels a day moving through tankers, covert Fifth Fleet escorts, and bypass pipelines, oil holding at $85–90 — while at home the Guardian reports the highest August gas prices ever recorded, the diesel crack tops $100 a barrel for the first time in history, and the Washington Post reveals the Pentagon is quietly evaluating whether to shrink the US military footprint in the Gulf rather than rebuild bases "battered by months of Iranian strikes." So who's actually winning? And Jared Kushner explains what Iran must do to get a deal: become "a real country — no nuclear weapons and no funding terror in the region." Kim lets the irony speak for itself.

The Invasion is Ongoing (Sargon)

@rpgadventurer32
The Spanish government betrayed the Spanish people in the most disgusting way possible.

Additional expanded comments/thoughts:

Sargon points out that Western NGOs (in the white T shirts) are on the ground supporting the invaders. NGOs and dark money are facilitating the demented push for open borders, with a lot of useful idiots on the ground doing the leg work.

It's like the NGO workers on the ground are validating their societal self loathing with this sort of action, likely denying reality with no idea about the 2nd or 3rd order consequences of what they are doing. When some of these people eventually get sexually assaulted they'll do mental gymnastics to deflect away from the harsh realities of the world in favour of ideology, where they think that if there is enough care and understanding everything will turn out alright. It's that sympathy for perpetrator mentality.

The overarching issue is a clash of cultures, and particularly the mental disposition of the young males who make up the invading force. A large portion of the invaders will have a clear 'us against them mentality' that you can't easily break with kindness, especially with such large numbers. When enough people move into a small area, then they displace the people and culture already there, they don't tend to come together with the existing inhabitants.

There's a power issue at work here. The invading men no doubt think that way. It's not something that can be brushed aside with group therapy. And they'll be portions of them who are mentally damaged, actual psychopaths, in this mix. The proportion of miscreants engaged in this kind of activity will be high.

To me the NGO people that support this invasion are likely to be mentally ill. It would be interesting to do tests on them to see how they evaluate the world around them. They likely have little real idea about what they are facing and the longer term consequences.

In the history of the world distinct groups of people don't tend to get along in the long run. They fight. Not understanding the dynamics of conflict is a massive issue. You might have a lot of good will and tolerance to other people, but the same is not necessarily true back.
