Seyed M. Marandi: US Strike on Iran Imminent — Gulf States Will Not Survive (Glenn Diesen)

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



Iran has already proven it can destroy US bases and hit any target in the region. If the US and Israel strike Iran once again then the Iranians will have no trouble taking out Gulf State and Israeli oil facilities and power stations. In the 1983 film 'War Games' the AI defence computer finally decided to suspend its imminent attack on the Soviet Union after it concluded that the only winning move is 'not to play'.

Putin Slams EU Protest Response; CIA Key Ukraine War Role; Study Debunks Big Russian Losses Claims (Alexander Mercouris)

A major article in The Atlantic confirms what The Duran has argued for years: the CIA sits at the center of Ukraine's intelligence, targeting and drone campaign, and that role has grown under Donald Trump and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Alexander breaks down this admission alongside Elon Musk's statement that Ukraine's front line would collapse without Starlink, Putin's denial of any role in Europe's protests, and a National Defense University of Finland study that challenges Western claims about Russian and Ukrainian losses. If Washington is running the campaign and shaping the casualty numbers, how much of what the West believes about this conflict is actually true?

It's All Your Fault (Connor Tomlinson)

Amidst a fall to second or third place in the polls, Reform have taken to blaming Restore Britain for splitting the vote. An MRP/Find Out Now poll released while editing this video puts Restore at 8 per cent, and 10 per cent if proportional representation is introduced.

The accusations of vote splitting have become increasingly insulting, even as Reform insist Restore voters must support them instead. But their narrative presumes Restore voters would vote Reform if Rupert Lowe weren't on the ballot. It also presumes the reasons they're not already voting Reform are Rupert Lowe's fault, rather than Reform themselves. Every vote Reform fails to win is their fault, for not offering something that Restore are prepared to.

Vindictive though the ITV and Channel 4 stings have been, they have damaged Reform's reputation. Other wounds were self-inflicted: from despised Tory defectors like Nadhim Zahawi and Nadine Dorries, to idiotic comments denouncing deportations, denying English ethnicity, and accommodating Islam.

These problems are baked in, unless Reform changes its rhetoric and personnel. They went out of their way to estrange their own voters, and are now furious that they didn't disappear, and formed their own party instead. When that party offered a pact, Nigel Farage called them fascists.

Some in Reform realise their critical friends were right. That this situation was preventable and is regrettable. They have committed to a less hostile tone toward Restore and their sympathisers. But spending thousands on a Reform TV YouTube channel won't win them back. Unless Reform engages with the alternative media they estranged, and gets better spokespeople, they will never recover the credibility they lost with their former supporters.



Reform is simply not doing the job needed to rescue the country from the globalists. They look more and more like another globalist political scam. Only Restore Britain is walking the walk. Restore needs to stand firm and explain to voters that the only clear way forward is with them. Importantly, those who do not normally vote need to get out and support the only viable option for the country.

CIA Fights Russia; Musk Slams Laundry Machine; Rubio Targets Cuba (Alex Christoforou)

Melania secured the ceasefire in Oleshky that diplomats have chased for months, but The Atlantic reveals CIA Director Ratcliffe has been quietly escalating the fight against Russia with Trump's full knowledge. Alex unpacks Musk's explosive laundry machine post on Ukraine aid, the first Russian diesel tankers bound for the United States, the Storm Shadow strike on Orel, Trump's Iran midterm messaging, Rubio's CIA appeal to Cuba, and Ireland scrapping its triple lock as Europe prepares troops for Ukraine.

German Chancellor Merz has made a startling admission: Russia, not the German economy, is his overriding priority. In this episode we break down how this revealing statement could hasten his replacement by Wüst, while Alice Weidel and the AfD gain traction by accusing Merz of acting like the chancellor of Ukraine. Is Weidel on a Thatcher style path to power, and will Germany's establishment move to stop her?

How The Deep State Turns Popular Podcast Hosts Into Assets (Jimmy Dore)

In this video Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger examine how intelligence agencies and powerful institutions could recruit social media influencers, podcasters, and media personalities to shape public opinion and suppress certain viewpoints. Using a hypothetical scenario, Chase Hughes explains how psychological techniques such as appealing to patriotism, offering financial incentives, and threatening exposure of compromising personal information could pressure someone into cooperating.

Jimmy and Kurt discuss concerns about media manipulation, blacklisting and preferential promotion of online creators, and the possibility that influential figures may be encouraged to censor guests or topics under the justification of protecting national security. The conversation raises broader questions about surveillance, psychological manipulation, media independence, and how audiences can distinguish authentic commentary from potential propaganda.



This blackmail recruitment technique doesn't just apply to alternative media personalities but also the wider media, the judiciary, police, politicians, academics, the bureaucracy in general, and other areas of influence. Individuals who are pedos are particularly favoured and promoted within institutional systems or in the wider community. Currently there is a giant web of compromised and corrupt people running the country.

Sargon points out that it's obviously dangerous to put large numbers of unvetted men near any native population in the UK. Those in authority clearly do not care about the safety of women and children. The rights of foreign men are more important.

All attempts to stop this crime has failed, except for an environmental appeal to protect a local bat population. This is what happens when globalist Governments come to power. It's vitally important for everyone in the West to vote for the anti-globalist nationalist parties. In the UK this means voting for Restore Britain.

Gold at $137,000? The Nuclear Option for America's Debt Crisis.(maneco64)

In January 1835, President Andrew Jackson achieved something no U.S. president has managed since: paying off the national debt.

In today's video, we examine how Jackson accomplished this, his battle against the banking establishment, and why our modern debt-based monetary system makes eliminating the national debt virtually impossible.

We also explore Judy Shelton's gold-backed Treasury bond proposal, the possibility of gold revaluation, and why a gold price of over $137,000 an ounce could theoretically offset America's enormous debt burden.

Is the national debt designed never to be repaid, and is a return to sound money the only real solution?



Another option is for the debt to be voided. Bond holders would take a haircut along with the Federal Reserve Bank. When it comes to the Fed, the money was conjured out of nothing and it can easily be cancelled.

US Diplomats Exit Middle East; Trump Hints Iran Strikes; Russia Urges Restraint (The Duran)

Washington and Israel appear to be preparing a massive new strike on Iran, with Hegseth meeting Netanyahu, US diplomats pulled from the region and British Typhoon jets heading to the Gulf. In this episode we discuss whether Trump will hold off until after the midterms, why Araghchi, Putin and Lavrov are still pushing diplomacy, and what Iranian retaliation could mean for oil prices, Gulf infrastructure and MBS in Saudi Arabia. Will Iran absorb the blow and swing the pendulum again, or is Trump about to remake the Middle East?

Russia Tells US No Concessions Restates Full Demands; Massively Hits Kiev; South Bridge Hit; Orekhov (Alexander Mercouris)

Maddow PLAYS DUMB About U.S. Regime Change (Jimmy Dore)

Perhaps in an effort to conclusively prove what an establishment tool she is, during a recent interview with Andrew Yang, Rachel Maddow seemed to dismiss the lengthy record of U.S. interference in other countries’ elections and governments. Just off the top of his head Jimmy cites examples including the 1953 coup in Iran, the 2014 Ukraine crisis, and the U.S.’s historically bloody involvement in Latin America, mocking Maddow for asking which specific intervention concerned Yang while alleging that she should know the historical record.

Jimmy also cites Maddow’s descriptions of Russia and Vladimir Putin, accusing her of pro-war propaganda and arguing that her claims about Donald Trump serving Putin overlook the far stronger U.S. ties to Israeli leadership and the military-industrial complex. Throughout the segment, Jimmy mocks Maddow and other establishment media figures for their hypocritical and unreliable stances, while arguing that decades of U.S. foreign interventions deserve far more scrutiny in mainstream political coverage.

Tucker EXPOSES Bongino’s Dark Turn! (Jimmy Dore)

In this segment Jimmy discusses Tucker Carlson’s account of Dan Bongino’s dramatic change in demeanor and attitude after becoming deputy director of the FBI, suggesting that Bongino initially entered government intending to expose corruption but later became defensive and hostile toward former allies who continued to challenge the Deep State. According to Carlson, Bongino initially described the FBI as far worse than outsiders imagined, but after Carlson shared information about Thomas Matthew Crooks’s allegedly nonexistent YouTube account, Carlson says FBI leadership confirmed the material was authentic before turning against him and refusing to answer questions about the investigation.

Jimmy speculates that Bongino may have encountered something inside the FBI that frightened him into abandoning his previous positions, while comparing his apparent change with what Dore sees as similar disappointments involving Kash Patel, RFK Jr., and Donald Trump. The discussion also touches on Jeffrey Epstein, the unresolved questions surrounding the Butler assassination attempt, and the Kennedy family’s history of trauma, with Dore criticizing public figures who appear to abandon their earlier promises once they enter positions of power.



Bongino's past, namely being in the Secret Service, likely meant he was compromised from the beginning, or aware of some very dark truths. He might have thought he could have made some changes, but ran into a wall - assuming that he was being honest in the first place.

The only way to break the corruption is through a mass uprising or a military coup. The US State and institutions have been captured by corrupt actors. Perhaps an economic collapse is needed to undo everything - one seems to be coming in the near future.

Whether intentional or not, Trump is pushing things towards disaster so that the US economy and country will fail. The big question is, will things be changed for the better coming out the other side of the mess? A coup is still probably needed.

Will Americans Die to Open the Strait of Hormuz? Seyed M. Marandi (Daniel Davis)

Is it worth engaging in a war when the US can step back and let the region sort itself out? The big problem is that the Israelis likely don't want to let this present situation pass. They'll push for a massive escalation, even if it causes the destruction of oil production in the region. They'd rather gamble on the US bailing them out economically if things go bad than let an opportunity to cripple Iran fade away. However, crippling a large country like Iran, that is supported by both China and Russia, will ultimately fail.

One potentially good result from an economic catastrophe is that the corrupt globalist Governments in Europe may fall. Money for their pro migrant welfare states, that are heavily in debt, might run out.
