Seyed M. Marandi: Iran-Oman Hormuz Deal Almost Reached & the Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan Defence Pact (Glenn Diesen)

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi is a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiation team.



An accurate assessment of what's going on and Iran's actual position on these matters, which is to have the US and Israel follow the MOU, while managing the Strait of Hormuz with Oman.

Furthermore, it appears the Saudi defence pact is not seen as a major issue by Iran considering repeated past failures to attack Yemen over many decades, which this pact seems to be aimed at. If Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia work together to take on Yemen, and Iran, then Saudi Arabia will go under as a country. Missile strikes will take out their power grid and the country will become unliveable. The same problem of Saudi Arabia being dismantled exists whether the attackers include the US or any other countries. The best policy is to simply withdraw from fighting and agree to terms.

“This Vaccine Kills People” – Dr. Angus Dalgleish on Fauci & COVID Shots (Jimmy Dore)

Dr. Angus Dalgleish joins Jimmy to argue that COVID-19 vaccines based on the spike protein were promoted despite early warnings about potential autoimmune, cardiac, and clotting risks. He adds that COVID vaccines lose effectiveness as the virus mutates and cites Cleveland Clinic research as evidence that infection risk increased with the number of prior vaccine doses, while criticizing mainstream and AI-generated interpretations of the study.

The discussion attributes pandemic-era vaccine and policy decisions to a broader blueprint associated with Anthony Fauci and argues that scientific debate was suppressed in favor of a predetermined narrative. The segment concludes with criticism of AI information sources, arguing that systems can reproduce conclusions from mainstream sources without adequately examining the underlying evidence.



Angus Dalgleish has a background in oncology and immunology. He's highly qualified to talk about the dangers of the experimental Covid jabs. Dr Dalgleish first realised that the public was being conned when the sequence of the virus was published in 2020. He could see that it was clearly a laboratory construct, and tried to raise the alarm, but was effectively sidelined. From that basis the later lies coming from the authorities became more transparent - namely their lies about the 'safe and effective' nature of the mRNA jabs that are inherently dangerous and make you sicker when you contract Covid. 

Note: Videos posted online from the Peak Prosperity channel explained the lab leak data clearly (in May 2020) showing that the virus did not come from nature. Public information like this should have been a wake up call that the world was being lied to, but too few people saw it, or realised its significance (that we were being conned by dishonest people in authority):

The IRA are now stepping up to get rid of the migrants in Ireland. They have a long record of terror and murder. Expect politicians to also be targeted.

This end result is not something that can easily be stopped.

They're Terrified of Restore, Now (Sargon)

As Restore Britain becomes more recognised by the public attacks by the mainstream media have ramped up. They're attacking Restore on the issue of demographic replacement and the double standard when it comes to Israel. Restore, and many on the 'right', simply don't care about other countries, whether it be Israel, the USA or Europe. They are protectionist when it comes to British interests ahead of everyone else. But to have such a position stirs up the globalists that want to destroy Western nations.

Can ONE NATION make history in Victoria? The battle is on. Topher Project Ep 444

Can One Nation pull off a miracle in the Victorian election in just a few short months time?

One Nation's Victorian leader Warren Pickering joins me to talk about the mountain they have to climb, and how they plan to climb it.



The key takeaway is that a large section of the population no longer trusts the major globalist aligned parties. The leader of the One Nation party in the State of Victoria joined during the Covid period because the party stood up for human rights. You cannot get much better than that.

BREAKING: FDA Approves Dangerous New mRNA Flu Vaccines! w/ Dr. Angus Dalgleish (Jimmy Dore)

The FDA has approved Moderna's mFLUSIVA mRNA flu vaccine for adults 50 and older, despite claims from Dr. Peter McCullough and others that the vaccine has a 75.3% adverse reaction rate and four times more severe systemic reactions than traditional flu shots. Jimmy and noted British oncologist Angus Dalgleish argue that the mRNA platform is inherently dangerous, referencing risks to pregnant women, ovarian tissue, and the brain, and question the vaccine's safety and efficacy given the existing data.

The two also critique the financial incentives and regulatory corruption they see in big pharma and the FDA, noting that mRNA vaccines are significantly more expensive than traditional ones and that liability protections for manufacturers remain a contentious issue. The segment promotes vitamin D and BCG as alternative immune stimulants, arguing that these are suppressed because they are not profitable, and calls for the revocation of vaccine liability shields.

Senate Charges Fauci With Contempt! w/ Dr. Angus Dalgleish (Jimmy Dore)

In this segment Jimmy discusses the recent Senate committee vote to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt after the former NAIAD director repeatedly declined to answer questions by invoking the Fifth Amendment during congressional testimony. Jimmy says that Fauci should be held accountable for decisions and policies surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, while his guest, famed British oncologist Angus Dalgleish, alleges that Fauci wielded excessive influence over scientific funding and research.

The discussion also focuses on disagreements over the origins of COVID-19, vaccine safety, government mandates, and the relationship between scientific institutions, funding, and political power. The two conclude by arguing that strong institutional beliefs can make people resistant to reconsidering their views about Fauci and the broader pandemic response.



Angus Dalgleish confirming that what happened, in his view, was an astronomical crime against humanity. It obviously was. Dore goes nuts at the end talking about the psychological problem of facing up to the truth, raising the issue of 'load bearing beliefs' that, if challenged, would strike at an individual's core identity. If you ended up on the wrong side of history then the following quote is one that applies: Confession is good for the soul. And you go from there ...

Saudi Arabia, Turkey + Pakistan Sign DEFENSE PACT Amid WAR in Iran, Yemen (Rachel Blevins)

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed a mutual defense pact on Friday, with a NATO-inspired clause promising that an attack on ONE member would be treated as an attack on ALL.

This comes as U.S. bases in Saudi Arabia have been hit by Iran’s retaliatory strikes, AND as tensions soar in Yemen, with Ansarallah working to drive the Saudi influence out of the country.



Will Turkey and Pakistan actually engage in the fighting or is this just talk? This pact is a serious development, and partly non-sensical, since Pakistan has been a negotiating partner with Iran.

UAP Tranche 5: If You Think There’s Nothing Here, Look Again (Richard Dolan)

The fifth White House UAP release contains far more than many people seem to realize.

In this deep dive, I examine some genuinely remarkable contemporary and historical cases: a Special Operations AC-130 encounter with multiple “cold orbs” over the Gulf of Oman; a 1964 Navy pursuit of a delta-shaped object tracked above 3,800 knots; new material surrounding the USS Omaha encounter; extraordinary FBI reports involving enormous triangular objects, close encounters, thermal detections, and a bizarre five-hour event in the western United States; and newly assembled historical records showing how seriously the U.S. military was privately treating the UFO problem as far back as the 1940s and 1950s.

The release remains frustratingly incomplete—critical telemetry, locations, dates, and other details are often missing or redacted. And no, this is not “Disclosure.” But anyone claiming there is nothing important here simply isn’t paying attention.

Taken together, these documents and videos add new evidence to a phenomenon the U.S. government has been encountering, investigating, and struggling to understand for nearly eighty years.

Pepe Escobar: A Secret Diplomatic Deal Taking Shape in Iran (Glenn Diesen)

Pepe Escobar is a journalist, a political analyst, and author.



A lot of countries want an end to the conflict, especially those tied to China's Belt and Road initiative. Pepe says the US is boxed in, such that they must fall in line with the MOU. On the other hand the neocons are likely to restart hostilities in a desperate attempt to have the US engage in a full scale war. The Israelis will gamble that if the region falls apart US forces will be sent to protect their country. The big problem is Iranian ballistic missiles have no problem knocking out Israeli power and water infrastructure.

The Problem-Solving Method They Removed From Every Textbook (Feynman Archives)

In 1964, Richard Feynman was the only person on California's textbook commission who actually read the textbooks. What he found should have ended careers — publishers sending blank books that still received ratings, first-grade science texts teaching children nothing but empty vocabulary, and an entire system designed to reward memorization over real understanding. This video breaks down Feynman's forgotten problem-solving framework — the same approach he used to win the Nobel Prize, expose broken education systems from California to Brazil, and coin the term "Cargo Cult Science" in his legendary 1974 Caltech commencement speech. You'll learn his 12 favorite problems technique (explained by mathematician Gian-Carlo Rota), why estimating before calculating is the single most underrated thinking skill, and how to tell the difference between someone who memorized the answer and someone who actually understands the problem — a distinction that matters more now than ever, because AI can memorize everything, but it can't think from scratch. If you've ever felt out of step with the system — at school, at work, in a meeting where nobody could answer the question that wasn't on the slides — this video explains why. And it gives you a method to fix it tonight.



Estimating before calculating helps people imagine how something might actually be functioning. It makes the mind wonder, and keeps it open/flexible. This video hits on the problem of memorising things - copying what authority is telling you - as opposed to actually understanding what may be going on at a basic level. This is all about core principles of investigation, getting down to primary sources and hard evidence, and working things out for yourself. What's being described here is First Principles Thinking. It's highly relevant to today's highly propagandised and politicised society, where we are faced with lies and misdirection when it comes to all manner of things (most disastrously when it came to the Covid jabs).

AI summary:

First principles thinking is a powerful mental model that involves breaking a big, complex problem down to its most basic, foundational truths—things you know are 100% true—and building up a new solution from scratch, rather than copying how others do things.

How It Works

Most of the time, humans think by analogy. We look at what other people do and make small tweaks. First principles thinking stops you from copying. It forces you to ask deep questions until you hit rock-bottom facts.

Step 1: Identify your current goal or problem.
Step 2: Break the problem down into its absolute core components.
Step 3: Challenge every assumption. Ask "Is this actually true, or is it just how things have always been done?"
Step 4: Build a new solution up from those core truths.

Col Doug Macgregor: All Out War w/Iran Getting Unavoidable (Daniel Davis)

Trump keeps threatening a massive attack on Iran while claiming negotiations are underway, the latter of which is not true. Macgregor and Davis point out that further attacks on Iran will be more the same, with the same negative results. 

The neocons pushing for this war want Iran destroyed, so the idea will be to keep escalating, to cause a bigger crisis, and then use that crisis for further escalation. They don't care how many US personnel or Iranians are killed in the fighting, or if disaster strikes the entire Gulf region and the rest of the world. The long term goal of these people, the Epstein-class gangsters, is to wipe out all Middle Eastern opposition to Israel, which basically means the balkanisation and ethnic cleansing of all neighbouring countries.

If Iran is massively attacked they'll take out power, water and oil facilities throughout the region. The end result will be an economic catastrophe. Russia and China will support Iran as best they can, while the West will falter badly due to astronomical oil prices and a crashing financial system.

The neocons think that they will come out on top, which may be true up to a point, but Iran will likely endure as the rest of the Middle East, and world, falters or collapses. 

The hope in the West is that during this crisis the neocon supporting globalist Governments, that have pushed mass migration, will be kicked out of office and replaced by non-interventionist closed border nationalists. 

The second half of this video deals with the war in Ukraine, which is another neocon driven conflict. While going backwards on the battlefield Ukraine is continuing its assassination campaign, targeting command and industry figures, inside Russia, which is a futile strategy. Macgregor describes Ukraine as a zombie state, on its last legs.

Aaron Rodgers VINDICATED For Refusing COVID Vaccine! (Jimmy Dore)

NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been doing the media rounds, reflecting on his decision not to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, and Jimmy argues that subsequent developments have fully vindicated Rodgers' position and criticisms of Anthony Fauci, mainstream media, and public health messaging during the pandemic. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger dispute the effectiveness and safety of COVID-19 vaccines, praise physicians who questioned prevailing public health guidance, and criticize public figures such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Terry Bradshaw for their past criticism of Rodgers.

Jimmy also argues that media coverage unfairly targeted vaccine skeptics while ignoring later controversies involving Fauci and government pandemic policies. Throughout the discussion, he frames the COVID-19 response as an example of institutional failure, media bias, and excessive deference to government and pharmaceutical companies.

FDA approves new mRNA vaccine, despite risks (John Campbell)

F.D.A. Approves Moderna’s mRNA Flu Vaccine

mFLUSIVA is the first FDA-approved mRNA influenza vaccine.



New mRNA flu jabs, approved in the USA. The data released in the trial shows the same sorts of problems we saw with the Covid shots!! Allegedly there was only a 26% relative risk reduction for those taking the jabs, but its absolute risk reduction benefit was just 0.8%. It's the same old story. Amazing. It's the same dumb con, where we totally understand it, tried again! WTF.

Somehow it was approved; for 50-64 year olds, and recommended for those over 65 in age. It looks like they want to target this older age group for extermination, where they can more easily cover up the fact these jabs killed them. The US is clearly in the grip of corrupt maniacs. We are still very much in the Twilight Zone. And where the hell is RFK jr? A military coup in the US cannot come soon enough. It might be the only way to stop this ongoing genocide - that started with Coivd.

Tucker, MTG, Massie & Joe Kent Form Anti-War Party! (Jimmy Dore)

In this video, Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss reports that Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, Joe Kent, and other former MAGA Republicans are exploring a political movement that could potentially evolve into a new party centered on an anti-war, genuinely "America First" platform. Jimmy says he welcomes the group's stated opposition to foreign wars and foreign lobbying while expressing skepticism about whether it will become a genuine alternative to the Republican Party or simply influence it from within.

The discussion also argues that bipartisan support for military intervention and corporate influence in politics are major obstacles to meaningful political reform, while calling for a broader coalition that crosses traditional left-right divides. Throughout the segment, the host emphasizes anti-war politics, campaign finance reform, and reducing the influence of special interests in U.S. government.



The new party needs leftists to make them a true centrist party otherwise they could split the Republic vote and get nowhere. The biggest problem for any new party will be the vote rigging.
