Max Blumenthal: ‘Israel First’ in Iran War Sparks MAGA Civil War (Glenn Diesen)

Max Blumenthal discusses why the consensus over the US-Israel partnership is unravelling as the intrusive influence of Israel is widely seen to undermine US interests. The disastrous Iran War has intensified the MAGA Civil War. Blumenthal is the editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, an award-winning journalist and the author of several books, including best-selling Republican Gomorrah, Goliath, The Fifty One Day War, and The Management of Savagery. He has produced print articles for an array of publications, many video reports, and several documentaries, including Killing Gaza.



Israel-gate is a real thing. Blumenthal explains the intense Israeli influence on Trump, and how Washington has been captured by them. The extent of the control is frightening. They've essentially captured key areas of the Government. The US has been hijacked. The aim is regime change in the Middle East and/or State destruction.  A MUST SEE clip to understand how things actually work.

IRAN CEASEFIRE Lasts as Long as it Takes to RELOAD /Lt Col Daniel Davis

The war is turning into a disaster for the US and the global economy. Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz, and their ability to strike Gulf State countries, and Israel, means they hold all the cards. The simple fact of the matter is the Iranians hold the military advantage. And if they go down, via strikes on their oil infrastructure, so does everyone else when they retaliate. The US must accept whatever deal is being offered to end the crisis - although the Israelis won't, at least not presently.

How Australia Engineered Its Own Fuel Crisis (OzGeology)

Australia is facing a fuel crisis, and diesel prices pushing past $3.30 per litre are no longer just a cost-of-living issue—they are a warning sign of a much deeper structural problem. In this video, we break down why petrol and diesel prices in Australia have surged so dramatically, and how global events like the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have exposed a critical weakness in Australia’s fuel system. Despite being one of the most resource-rich countries in the world, Australia remains heavily dependent on imported refined fuel, leaving it vulnerable to geopolitical disruptions and supply chain shocks.

This video explores the uncomfortable reality that Australia didn’t run out of fuel—it engineered a system that made it dependent on external supply. We dive into how refinery closures, declining domestic fuel production, and a lack of strategic fuel reserves have transformed Australia from an energy-rich nation into one of the most fuel-dependent developed countries. With over 80–90% of petrol and diesel imported, any disruption to global oil supply—especially through critical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz—can have immediate and severe impacts on fuel prices, availability, and the broader economy.

We also examine Australia’s vast untapped energy potential, including domestic oil reserves, unconventional oil resources, and massive natural gas deposits. Could Australia become fuel self-sufficient? What would it take to rebuild refining capacity, expand oil production, and develop alternative fuel strategies like LPG and gas-to-liquids diesel? This video breaks down the timeline, cost, and feasibility of achieving fuel independence, while separating fact from misconception in the debate around Australia’s energy security.

A key focus of this video is how Australia could have buffered itself against this crisis. By maintaining domestic refineries, investing in fuel storage, and leveraging local resources like LPG for passenger vehicles, Australia could have significantly reduced its reliance on imported fuel. Instead, decades of policy decisions prioritising efficiency and global trade over resilience have left the country exposed to exactly the kind of disruption we are now seeing.

This is not just a story about fuel prices—it’s about national resilience, energy security, and the long-term consequences of infrastructure decisions. Whether you’re interested in Australian economics, geopolitics, oil and gas, or the future of energy, this video provides a deep dive into why Australia is in this position and what could be done to prevent it from happening again.

If you’ve been wondering why fuel is so expensive in Australia right now, how global conflicts impact local prices, or whether Australia could realistically become self-sufficient in petrol and diesel, this video answers those questions with a clear, evidence-based breakdown.

TRUMP UNLOADS ON ALEX JONES! (Mark Dice)

Tucker, Candice, Alex Jones and others have been calling out Trump for his war of aggression against Iran and he unleashed on them. This is not a good move. Trump's been railroaded by the Israelis and needs to admit what's happened - that attacking Iran was a mistake (actually a crime), and that the US will withdraw. However, if Trump is happy to see all of Israel's regional enemies destroyed, and oil from the region cut off, that will hand control of the oil market to the US, then he may not see the conflict as a mistake. 

The video ends with Melania Trump calling on Epstein's victims to testify before Congress, to name names, and prove that she and Donald were not involved in the corruption. This action indicates that the Deep State is still in control of the major institutions. Why have such a hearing if they can simply release the files? This is an indication that they're under the thumb of the jackals, like they're hostages. It's important to consider that the truth about the Epstein blackmailing operation is that it was set up to serve Israeli interests.

Trump’s Latest DESPERATE Hail Mary To End Iran Debacle! (Jimmy Dore)

The US-Iran ceasefire has already collapsed before follow-up negotiations have even begun, as Iran's parliament speaker states that the U.S. has violated three points of the 10-point framework—including refusing to stop bombing Lebanon, sending an attack drone into Iranian airspace, and denying Iran's right to nuclear enrichment.

Jimmy notes that even Fox News admits Trump has achieved none of his war objectives (dismantling nuclear facilities, ending enrichment, transferring uranium stockpiles, or halting Iran's missile program), calling this the "biggest defeat since Vietnam."

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger expose the White House's desperate spin, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt falsely claiming Iran submitted a "new" plan after the original 10 points were "thrown in the garbage"—a transparent lie to help Trump save face. Jimmy concludes that Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz permanently, has emerged as a fourth global power center, and the U.S. has lost the war militarily, just as it lost in Afghanistan and Iraq.



The one thing to remember is that this war is not over. The US and Israel can still destroy Iran's oil production facilities that will cripple the country. Iran will then destroy Gulf State oil production, and no ships will even attempt to move through the Strait of Hormuz because no oil will be coming out of the region. Iran has won for now, but all the countries in the region can lose, along with large sections of the rest of the world.

This scenario might be postponed until alternative sources of oil can be found, which will come from Russia, aside from oil coming from the USA and Venezuela. The next thing to expect is for the US to throw Ukraine under the bus to free up Russian oil.

MASS CONFUSION in Trump Administration Over Ceasefire! Zionists Melt Down! w/Col. Douglas Macgregor (Jimmy Dore)

Macgregor appears at the 35min mark. He guesses that the war was started because of Zionist donors to Trump that extracted a promise to attack Iran, and got it, with advisors pitching a quick regime change operation that failed. Macgegor points out that Turkey and Egypt are likely to enter the fighting if it continues - fighting that would include the destruction of the Gulf State countries, which is exactly what people like Netanyahu want. 

However, Macgregor believes the US now genuinely wants the fighting to end. He points out that the ten point ceasefire plan looks like it's something the US created and was laundered through Pakistan. The Israelis don't appear to have been consulted and are against a pause in fighting in Lebanon and are therefore the catalyst for continued fighting - proving that the Israelis are driving the ship. Meanwhile China is lobbying Iran to also back down because they get a large portion of their oil from the Middle East. If things really do go badly, and oil production is destroyed in the region, China will suffer greatly, although they will receive a lot of help from Russia. US allies in Asia will likely suffer a lot more. 

Additional thoughts: While the Israelis are driving the conflict against Iran it's been pointed out that a lot of recent US global actions seem centred around gaining control of the world oil market.

Venezuelan oil is now being processed in the US, and with war in Ukraine cutting off Russian supplies, the Europeans have been forced to turn to the US.

The last major source of oil comes from the Middle East. Having the Iranians impose a tax on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, or having the production facilities destroyed throughout the region, although disastrous for the global economy, benefits the US in the long run.

The big problem with the US strategy in Iran, aside from killing people, is that it risks a worldwide economic calamity with genuine shortages of oil, gas and fertilizer, plus financial chaos, that threatens the lives of millions. There's a lot of political push back against the US-Israeli aggression because of this outcome.

Originally, Trump may have been conned into thinking an attack on Iran would quickly lead to regime change, and because it didn't happen, became frustrated and unhinged. A relatively quick and clean operation is now turning into a quagmire, but one that will benefit US oil interests if it continues or worsens.     

However, the final outcome is highly uncertain. Both Russia and China are likely to escalate their support for Iran, and Russia will likely seek a quicker end to the fighting in Ukraine - to stop strikes against their own oil facilities. An unburdened Russia, cooperating with China, will be a potent force on the world stage, even if the Middle East is in ruins and the US controls much of the global oil market.

We're experiencing a case of overlapping interests here; oil and global power, plus Israeli regional objectives - which is destroying all neighbouring countries.

THE CEASEFIRE IN IRAN 'WON'T LAST' IF ISRAEL CONTINUES ATTACKS ON LEBANON – Prof. Mohammad Marandi (Rachel Blevins)

Hours after the U.S. and Iran announced a two-week ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that it “does not include Lebanon.” Israel is now launching its largest coordinated strikes across Lebanon in the five weeks since Hezbollah joined this phase of the war.

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi, of the University of Tehran, noted that contrary to Netanyahu’s claims, this ceasefire is based on Iran’s 10-point plan, which includes the cessation of hostilities on ALL fronts, including in Lebanon. He emphasized that if Israel’s attacks continue, “this ceasefire will NOT last,” and Iran will not move forward with a deal to end this war.

IRAN WAR: Conditional Ceasefire (TheDuran)

The terms that have led to the ceasefire were dictated by Iran. Ships can pass through the Strait of Hormuz but they have to pay a toll. The overarching problem with any long lasting ceasefire is that the Israelis, and also the US, have no problem resuming hostilities when it suits them.

If Iran maintains a toll it will raise the price of energy from the region, making US oil production more attractive. However, the end goal is more likely a resumption of the war and the destruction of regional oil facilities. US allies, like Japan, will be using the ceasefire to set up oil alternatives from the US to cover for losses from the Middle East. This is the likely reason for the truce that may be extended while oil shipment contingencies are set up. 

Note: While it's possible that Trump is still following his own plan to dismantle the globalist system, reports of his personal behaviour indicate he's become somewhat unhinged. Have the mRNA shots impacted his cognitive functions?

Victory? Don't Insult Our Intelligence, Mr. Sec of War (Daniel Davis)

The US hasn't won anything! This is a good short clip from Lt Col Daniel Davis who is disgusted by the dishonourable behaviour being displayed at every turn by officials in Washington. Without any trust, no lasting deals can be made. Perhaps the only thing holding back the belligerents is the fear of economic disaster if the fighting leads to the destruction of regional oil facilities - like we saw during the Cold War with the mutually assured destruction scenario. However, some may actually want this destruction to happen. The Iranians, as things stand, have won a strategic victory over the US and Israelis who are acting like gangsters on the world stage.
