Putin Rules Out Ukraine Talks; Russia US Strike Diesel Deal; Zelensky Furious; Missiles Strike Kiev (Alexander Mercouris)

Putin has told Trump that talks with Ukraine are off the table for now, and Alexander argues this matters far more than the Russia US diesel deal dominating the headlines. He explains why the sanctions waiver changes little, how Ukraine's drone offensive on Russian refineries failed, why Zelensky defied six requests from Trump to stop, and what Russian missile strikes on Kiev, the blackouts, the Zaporozhye bridges and advances in Kharkov, Sumy and Dobropillya mean for the front lines. If Moscow now refuses to negotiate, what leverage does Washington have left?

ZELENSKY PANICS as Trump Makes DIESEL Deal with RUSSIA, Says Ukraine Needs NEW LEADER (Rachel Blevins)

President Trump is now claiming that Ukraine “needs a new leader” who can make a deal with Russia, after he secured an agreement with President Putin for Moscow to supply more than 4 million tons of diesel to the global market, as the U.S. waives sanctions.

While Zelensky panics and criticizes the U.S. for buying Russian diesel at record-high prices, the EU is also doubling down and preparing to pass more anti-Russian sanctions.

So, Trump makes it look like he can make a deal with Moscow, makes Zelensky the “bad guy,” and puts pressure on Europe to further carry the torch in the proxy war against Russia… all while ignoring the fact that the U.S. is still supplying the satellite data for Kiev to carry out strikes on Russian oil refineries.



After almost being killed by the Deep State, is Trump actually playing 3D chess to bring an end to US involvement with the rest of the world? He wanted to end the war in Ukraine, and have the US withdraw from the Middle East, and he understands the consequences of what he does. So did he decide to give the neocons and globalists everything they wanted, in an over the top way, knowing that the chances of failure were high? The one thing he does want is control of the American region, but the rest of the world can be let go. And an economic collapse might be needed to set things right in Europe and in other Western countries to get political change and drive out the migrants (most of whom are on welfare).

WHY Are They Developing 21 Plague Vaccines? (Kim Iversen)

Epidemiologist Nicholas joins The Kim Iversen Show to break down the highly scrutinized plague outbreak linked to a high-containment Russian lab in southern Siberia, analyzing whether this is classical Yersinia pestis or a modified bioweapon. Nicholas also details his groundbreaking population-level study linking childhood COVID-19 vaccinations to elevated risks of autism, ADHD, and anxiety, alongside a critical look at the FDA's approval of Moderna's new mRNA flu vaccine. The episode rounds out with science-backed bio-hacks utilizing natural supplements and foods



It seems like whatever happened in Russia was serious. Hopefully it was contained. Accidents often happen at bioweapons research/development facilities. One key thing to think about is a global ban on gain of function research, which is how the Covid19 virus came into existence. This stuff is more folly.

These cities are 'gone': British journalist sounds alarm on extremist enemies already inside gate (Newsmax)

"London: it's gone... Paris: gone... Berlin: gone."

As foreigner-led riots ravage European nations, journalist Tommy Robinson sounds the alarm to Rob Finnerty on far-left ideology joining forces with violent Islamic extremism.



What he's saying here is true. If nothing is done the future will be balkanisation and war throughout Europe. Things are already ugly but are set to get worse. 

 Just remember, just because you are open and tolerant that doesn't mean that other people will be tolerant of you. You have to be somewhat discerning when it comes to what you are examining. Not everything/everyone is the same. There's a reason why countries and regions, of people with different sets of values, formed in the first place.

Remigration is necessary to undo this mess.

The TRUTH About Our National Identity - Don't Let Them Lie! (Fast Jet Performance)

The key is to REVERSE what is being pushed on you and ask if it would be allowed the other way around. If it doesn't make sense, or is unfair, then it should not be accepted. Imagine going to another country and then declaring that you are part of their ethnicity? It does not make sense. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Globalism is a bad idea, and closed borders existed for a reason in the past.

Eva Vlaardingerbroek Warns of ‘Demographic Replacement’ in Europe (Financial Express)

At CPAC Hungary 2026, Eva Vlaardingerbroek delivers a forceful speech on European identity, migration and national sovereignty. She argues that European identity is rooted in shared history, culture, Christian faith and ethnicity, and describes current migration trends as a form of “demographic replacement”. Vlaardingerbroek calls for “re-migration”, criticises the European Union’s migration policies and praises Viktor Orbán’s Hungary for resisting them. She also cites violent crimes involving migrants to argue that public safety is being affected. The speech concludes with a call for European conservatives to “rise up” and an endorsement of Fidesz ahead of Hungary’s elections.

'Captain Train-Wreck' is his name... self-inflicted wounds is his game. Topher Project Ep 513

10 years ago this would have been a genius political move... today? Not so much.

The fact is that we like... no scratch that, we NEED online payment facilities... Credit Cards being among the best we've come up with so far, and we're actually ok with paying the fees.

Oh I know we all complain about them... but even though in many cases we have genuine alternatives, we still choose to use the 'Magic Plastic' and pay the fee that comes with it.

Yet when you do a survey, CC fees are universally unpopular...

How can that be?

Because people lie with their words, but tell the truth with their money.

Albo doesn't understand that, he made the mistake of taking people at their word, and in the process he's created yet ANOTHER self-inflicted wound for himself and the Labor Party!

Allegedly powered by zero point energy. The material here appears to be theoretical (based on an inspection of hardware?). There is some detail. Something to consider.

We do know for an absolute fact that UFOs are real, and that there are many different types of them. The information here may apply to one, or more, types that are seen. There is also the issue of whether we live in a simulation, or whether there is a lot more to the fabric of the universe than we presently understand.

Saudi Crisis as Houthis Advance; MBS Needs Boots on the Ground (The Duran)

The Houthis are advancing in Yemen and Saudi Arabia is facing its most dangerous crisis in a century. With Taiz reportedly encircled, MBS pleading for ground troops that Turkey, Pakistan and Syria will not send, and Trump still undecided on a new Iran operation, they argue the real Middle East flashpoint is no longer Iran or Hormuz but the stability of the Saudi kingdom itself. Can diplomacy with the US, Russia and China save MBS, or did his bet on Trump over BRICS cost him everything?



The US, or any other country, cannot defeat Iran but they might be able to defend the territory of Saudi Arabia from invasion and negotiate a truce. Advancing Yemeni ground forces in Saudi Arabia can easily be destroyed from the air. What cannot be stopped is drone and missile bombardment coming from both Yemen and their ally Iran. So a truce is the likely outcome. If US strikes do extend beyond defending Saudi Arabia, to striking Yemen then both Yemen and Iran can strike Saudi oil fields and power stations. Declaring a truce is the most logical thing to do. If this does not happen Saudi Arabia faces a catastrophe. The same situation applies to the war against Iran. Let Iran control the Strait of Hormuz and have Israel withdraw from their current military ops. But will this actually happen?

What's likely to happen first is an economic calamity as oil supplies run low.

Kiev has been plunged into darkness after Russian drones knocked out the key Kievska substation, halting the metro and disrupting the sewage system. Alexander analyses the cat and mouse campaign against Kiev's bridges, power grid and SBU sites, the graphics of Zelensky's bunker now circulating online, Zelensky's complaints that Europe and the United States are abandoning Ukraine, and the collapse of the Kharkov cauldron as Russian forces advance in Sumy and Donbass.

Camp of the Saints Came True (Connor Tomlinson)

France is engulfed in flames because a coalition of spiteful leftists and the children of immigrants are using school budget cuts as a pretext to riot and loot. No greater irony is there than the Nelson Mandela school being burned down, and gates inscribed with "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" being kicked open by barbarians, because liberalism and antiracism are the reason these people are in France in the first place.

Multiculturalism, Nathan Pinkoski writes, "is the cultural imperialism of European self- loathing... The decolonization paradigm creates a generic, quasi-universal indigenous identity that incorporates the whole world – except for those descended from white Europeans." They think they are saving the wretched of the Earth, and giving them utopia, but theirs is a purely consumptive, destructive ideology, which inflicts nothing but suffering. This is the inevitable consequence of bringing these people, in any volume, into our countries.

What Jean-Luc Mélenchon's revolutionaries don't understand is that their Third World comrades are not agents of revolution. They are an entropic force, capable only of destroying France's inheritance, and not generating anything new. Per the famous quote from The Camp of the Saints, "Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door..." They aren't schoolchildren upset about teachers' pensions and textbooks. They are foreign vandals and deranged ideologues looting your civilisation's inheritance.

For France to survive, The Camp of the Saints must be made fiction again. This means crushing the violent left, deporting millions of immigrants, and becoming impervious to the tears of pathological women who plead with the police not to arrest the rioting youths.



Self hating European leftists, and (children of) anarchistic/tribalistic immigrants that have similar anti European sentiments, have joined forces. For these people white people are seen as intrinsically villainous. This attitude is civilisation destroying and will only end in disaster. Nationalist governments need to come to power and mass migration needs to be reversed.

Henry Bolton's Stark Warning About Islam in Britain (Restore Britain)

This warning is about Islamists taking over regions, via demographic replacement, and then voting for their own candidates. The end result will be tribalist rule, where they look after their own interests at the expense of native people. Islamists being biased towards other Islamists is seen as virtuous, not as discrimination. Native Brits that get excluded from this new society will be seen as deserving it for not following the 'correct' religion. This is totally against Western concepts of treating everyone equally and without bias. 

This is the ugly truth and it must be aired and contemplated. Just because you are open and tolerant, does not mean that other people have similar values. The end result here will be balkanisation - if nothing changes. War will eventually come. The non violent solution is to support nationalist political parties that want closed borders. This open borders system simply does not work. Letting in small numbers of people tends to work, but masses of people simply creates parallel societies and conflict.

The threat does not only come from Islam either. Any large block of immigrants from one culture, region or religion, poses the threat of replacing the native inhabitants.

Clueless or genius? That depends whether he's destroying Australia on purpose. Topher Proj Ep 510

The decline of Australia is real, you're not imagining it, and it's NOT the fault of the 'Orange Man', nor the war in Iran, nor any other external factors and I can prove it.

The blame lies firmly at the feet of Jim Chalmers and Anthony Albanese.

The next question is... are they clueless and can't understand why their best efforts to 'help' us aren't working? Or are they geniuses and the decline is a feature, not a bug?

I'll let you decide that for yourself, what I'm going to do in this video is arm you with what you NEED TO KNOW about the reality of Australia's situation compared to the world-wide situation, and show you EXACTLY what needs to change... and therefore what WE need to do.



Tax revenue is up but Government spending has skyrocketed far above it - wasted on bureaucrats and misguided globalist projects. When they say inflation has been caused by the war against Iran this is not entirely true. Separately, government policy, when it comes to electricity generation, has also caused a massive rise in costs with their implementation of NET ZERO concepts (shutting down coal power stations).

Smoking Gun Evidence for Ancient, Machined Stone! The Granite Cornice blocks on the Giza Plateau. (UnchartedX)

Join me for a deep dive as we re-visit the topic of ancient precision with an investigation into the intriguing phenomenon of the 'cornice' and 'couch' blocks, that are still extant on the Giza Plateau. Precisely machined, from huge chunks of Aswanian granite, these contoured masterpieces defy the standard model explanation that everything here was made by hand, with primitive methods.

Legitimate, engineering oriented investigations and inspections made of these ancient artifacts reveal features on them that mirror techniques we would use today in modern machining, and uncover the true depth of their complex, sophisticated, and precise nature - far beyond anything that could be made by hand.

The cornice and couch blocks are smoking gun evidence for significantly advanced ancient technology, far beyond that of the Dynastic Egyptians, that MUST have existed millennia in the past. What's more - these are no one-off, unicorn type artifacts - their machined precision into igneous stone is an achievement that was repeated time and again, and the evidence is still there on the Giza Plateau to show it.



Aside from the data for precision, the amount of erosion on the limestone blocks is astonishing, indicating extreme age.

NATO Generals Rush To Kiev; Surovikin Directs Dnieper Bridge Strikes; Peskov: Peace Talks Pointless (Alexander Mercouris)

Alexander examines why the largest NATO military delegation in eight years made an unannounced trip to Kiev just as the Dnieper bridges go down and the front lines buckle at Dobropillia and Lyman. Drawing on a trusted source, Alexander explains why Russia is weakening the bridges rather than destroying them, how that links to rumors of General Surovikin's return, and what Peskov, Lavrov and Rubio saying talks are pointless means for the months ahead. If the generals came to Kiev to be told all is well, who is left to tell them the truth?



NATO Generals rushing to Kiev should tell you all you need to know about the nature of the war. It's no secret that the continued fighting is entirely due to massive NATO support, where they are acting like PUPPETS of the neocons/globalists. Alexander describes the conflict as a 'coalition war', not a proxy war, because of the extent of outside involvement. And Russia is not an enemy of the West - but it is an obstacle to US-Israeli hegemony. Latest battlefield and political updates from Alexander.

Historically attacking large countries, like Russia or Iran, is a bad idea. The wars are about fulfilling the neocon's Wolfowitz Doctrine, and to also gain control over oil. Economic collapse will end this madness. The globalist class in London, Paris and Berlin must go.

Why Hollywood Keeps Killing Your Heroes (Robot Head)

Hollywood loves bringing back the heroes you already care about. Then it humiliates them, replaces them, sidelines them, and sometimes just kills them.
In a recent interview, the Lanterns writers said the quiet bit out loud: Oldies, move on or die. That pissed me off.
Not because of one show, but because that mindset seems to be everywhere now, in the way Hollywood talks about legacy, success, age, and who supposedly deserves to still be here.
Let’s look at where that attitude came from, why it’s so backwards, and what happened to the idea of actually respecting the people who came before you.
Featuring: Star Wars, Terminator, Indiana Jones, Green Lantern, Nirvana, Oasis, Quentin Tarantino, and more.



Past top level creators always respected what came before, and then produced amazing material. The current batch of woke 'creators', who are not producing anything new, come across as inept, entitled individuals with huge chips on their shoulders. Most of them seem to be Cultural Marxists, activist types, who want to wipe out patriarchal or white myth making and heroes. They seem to hate anything that uplifts past norms and civilisation. Many of their reimagined heroes, as opposed to the ones they crush (by turning them into idiots or kill off) actually act like villains, which is a poor reflection upon themselves. Past success, from other people, is not a barrier to anyone else's new production or IP.

HIDE THE DAMAGE, ESCALATE THE WAR /Col Doug Macgregor (Daniel Davis)

Lying about the state of affairs, when it comes to US wars, is normal. It's more of the same. But as things stand, it's obvious that the US has lost the conflict against Iran. 

Macgregor predicts that the US will launch a new strike against the Iranians that tries to hit their deep underground bunkers and punish the civilian population. Iran will obviously retaliate and the result will be an economic calamity as they knock out power and oil infrastructure in the region. He worries that the Israelis will eventually employ nuclear weapons to take out their main Middle Eastern rival. 

If Iran is not taken out then expect the demise of the Gulf State countries and the withdrawal of US forces. Will Turkey, Egypt or Pakistan intervene to protect Islamic holy sites if Saudi Arabia collapses?

When it comes to the war in Ukraine, it's likely that the Russians will continue their grinding operation and wait as Europe implodes under mass migration, rioting, and also economic collapse. In the end the globalists have doomed themselves. They expect to be able to manage the situation but things will almost certainly spiral out of control.

Russia FINALLY Takes the GLOVES OFF: Proof Putin is LISTENING to His People | Col. Doug Macgregor (Rachel Blevins)

Russia is ramping up strikes across Ukraine, as the U.S. is preparing for another round of war against Iran. President Trump can’t seem to make up his mind as to who he should blame for the soaring energy costs Americans are beginning to face, as he tries to use one losing conflict to distract from another.

Ret. U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor noted that Russia’s recent escalation in strikes is proof President Putin is listening to the Russian people, as frustration builds over Kiev’s attempted drone attacks. He also said it’s “obvious” the U.S. is preparing for more war against Iran, and the threat of Israel using nuclear weapons is still on the table.



Macgregor points out that there is no realistic plan to take out Russia or to win against Iran, and that attacking them is folly - that Trump has little idea when it comes to these matters. He says it's a repeat of past military interventions. He suspects that the only reason these wars have gone ahead is due to Israeli influence. 

The ultimate goal for the Iranians is to have the US expelled from the Middle East, and that the war of attrition in Ukraine is on its last legs. Russia has no choice now but to take over all of Ukraine and to annex the southern region.     

The video also covers the up coming firing squad execution of an Islamist US military officer who killed 13 service personnel in 2009. Macgregor argues that firing squads have traditionally been reserved for infractions in which a level of honour is still on the table, and that the appropriate method here should be hanging.

Israeli Finance Minister Says the Quiet Part Out Loud (Jimmy Dore)

Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich recently described a “thorough cleansing” operation in southern Lebanon, which many have interpreted as an admission of ethnic cleansing comparable to the destruction in Gaza. Jimmy argues that the minister’s statement that residents will have nowhere to return to demonstrates that Israel is deliberately making areas uninhabitable. Jimmy also highlights that Western governments have failed to stop or adequately challenge these actions.
