Iran Hits TWO Oil Tankers — One Kuwaiti, On Fire! (Jimmy Dore)

Iran recently attacked a Kuwaiti oil tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz under U.S. escort, putting the lie to Trump administrations claims about “controlling” the Strait. Jimmy says the vessel was struck above the waterline, causing a small fire but no reported injuries or oil spill, while other tankers have also been attacked in the waterway.

The discussion highlights sharply reduced shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s apparent ability to disrupt maritime activity, while noting Kuwait’s diplomatic protest to Iran. The segment closes with commentary on the broader economic implications of the conflict, including oil shipping risks and the perceived strength of Iran’s response.

Vax letter to Prime Minister (John Campbell)

Dear Prime Minister,

Britain has spent six years arguing about the Covid pandemic. We do not believe the country needs another rehearsal of those arguments. But what it does need is answers.

We are a group of (x number) doctors, scientists health professionals and public figures asking you to do something your predecessors have repeatedly failed to do: commission an independent examination of outstanding questions about the safety of Covid-19 vaccines and ensure that those who believe they have been injured or bereaved are properly heard.

We are not asking you to accept our conclusions.

We are asking you to ensure that the evidence is examined.

That distinction matters.

You have spoken powerfully about what happens when institutions become defensive and difficult questions are left unanswered. Britain has seen the consequences in Hillsborough, the infected blood scandal and the Post Office scandal. In each case, people raising concerns were dismissed for years before institutions were eventually forced to confront what had happened.

Whatever your own view of Covid vaccination, we ask you to ensure that the same mistake is not made again.

There remain legitimate and unresolved questions about adverse events following Covid vaccination, including cardiovascular events; increases in cancer, the causes of excess mortality and increased long-term sickness since the pandemic; the adequacy of systems for identifying vaccine injury; and whether those who believe they have suffered serious harm have been adequately investigated and supported.

We recognise that excess mortality and ill health are likely to have multiple causes, including delayed NHS treatment, the effects of lockdown, Covid infection itself and wider pressures on the health service.

But we believe vaccination must also be permitted to form part of that investigation rather than being treated as a question that cannot be asked. This is ultimately an issue of public trust.

Four of the lead signatories to this letter were asked by Baroness Hallett's UK Covid-19 Inquiry to provide witness statements for Module 4 on vaccines and therapeutics.

Those statements were submitted in January 2024.

We were deeply disappointed by what we regarded as the Inquiry's failure to examine the full body of evidence and arguments we had submitted concerning vaccine safety and efficacy.

Whatever one's view of that evidence, inviting doctors and scientists to provide testimony and then failing adequately to engage with contested evidence does little to restore confidence among those who already believe their concerns are being ignored.

We therefore ask your government to support a full and transparent examination of the outstanding evidence.

These questions have not disappeared.

They are increasingly being debated internationally and has now reached the United States Senate

Earlier this year, three of the signatories travelled to Washington to testify before a United States Senate subcommittee examining concerns surrounding Covid vaccination and scientific research into potential harms.

Our testimonies raised a wider issue which we believe deserves serious political attention in Britain: the influence of the pharmaceutical industry over medical research, regulation and public health policy. Even our own APPG on pandemic response and recovery in 2024 concluded that the MHRA is a serious risk to patient safety for failing to flag serious harms from the Covid vaccine.

The pharmaceutical industry produces medicines that save millions of lives. But precisely because governments spend billions purchasing its products and depend upon its research, the relationship between industry, regulators, medical institutions and government must be transparent and subject to rigorous scrutiny.

No industry responsible for products affecting the health of billions of people should be beyond challenge.

Nor should doctors or scientists fear professional or reputational consequences simply for raising legitimate questions about safety. There is another group whose voices should not be lost in the political argument: people who believe they have been seriously injured by Covid vaccines and families who believe they have been bereaved.

Some adverse effects of Covid vaccines are already officially recognised.

The question is whether Britain's mechanisms for identifying, investigating and compensating serious vaccine injury are adequate - and whether every credible safety signal has been investigated with sufficient independence and urgency. As one of the signatories to this letter states under oath in the United States senate in June his fears that millions of people may be at risk of premature heart disease and cancer.



Excellent interview with Dr Malhotra concerning the recent letter to the UK PM. Dr Malhotra reports that many powerful people are STILL afraid to speak out against the shots because of supposed negative public relations and reaction from the authorities. He says that understanding the truth for many has nothing to do with intelligence but one's psychology and lack of courage, and that what's going on is like living in The Twilight Zone. He reiterated the fact that in the initial trials more people became sick from the jabs than Covid. There's no reason they should have been approved for the general public.

Why Egypt Is Suddenly Excavating the Lost Labyrinth | Louis de Cordier (Danny Jones)

Egypt is digging up the Labyrinth. Louis de Cordier found out the way anyone else would have, from a phone call: a friend touring Hawara with a group told him crews were on site with equipment, in March of this year. He did not believe it. The plan he had spent years on called for draining the site first and preserving it before anyone broke ground, and the Egyptian government had skipped all of it. Crews from the Fayum inspectorate are down there now, exposing giant megalithic walls and pulling up what look like pieces of pillars, and the interviews say they intend to go as deep as they can.

De Cordier led the 2008 Mataha expedition, the ground-penetrating radar and geophysical survey that mapped what sits under the sand at Hawara. He knows exactly how far the current dig has to travel. The crews are about two meters down. The foundation layer starts around five. The part that changes the story sits at minus twenty meters, roughly sixty feet, where the building stops being stacked blocks and becomes chambers carved directly out of the bedrock. Satellite scans done in 2015 by the group that later founded Merlin Burrows show one of those spaces running about a hundred meters long and forty meters wide. He compares the central atrium to a shopping mall. Archaeologists from University College London looked at the same scan and picked out an omega-shaped moat around the structure, matching one recently found at Saqqara, and a row of Persian tomb shafts dropping thirty to forty meters into the ground.

Danny gets him to explain why almost none of this reached the public for a decade. The scan data came with NDAs, some still running, signed to keep the images away from journalists and away from Egyptian officials who could shut the work down. Publishing it anyway is what he believes finally moved the government to dig. His fear now is the shallow version of success: a government that digs two meters, plants a flag, and announces there was never anything down there.

Concerned Mothers Against Feminism (Sargon)

Many things are now discriminatory against boys in today's feminised world. Some mothers are not pleased, and rightly so. Instead of a fair and free system the pendulum has swung too far one way.  

The taking away of male spaces seems to have been a reaction to the fact that men have held power in society since forever, and also over concerns that male only groups have helped foster disrespect and violence towards women. While the issue of violence is real, the harsh biological reality is that in nature men are expected to fight and die for the tribe against wild animals and other men. If men are too weak then the women will become victims, with the entire group facing extinction. 

Another part of the issue of men holding power is the idea that if women were in charge then things would be better. But going by studies into women's psychology, and their emotion-based outlook, a change in leadership would bring about new sets of problems and disasters.

Building a society on equity and inclusion, over merit and discernment, and sidelining ideas of security for compassion, is an exceedingly bad idea in a dangerous and violent world. This is what's happening today.

When it comes to areas where competent decision making is needed, made by the best candidate (male or female), or where physical strength is required, the promotion of individuals based on a gender quota, rather than merit, can result in disastrous outcomes. Being unfair to people in some instances, when it comes to certain roles or professions, is necessary. Not everyone is the same, or has the same level of capability, as much as some people would like this to be true. 

In reality there are problems with the psychological dispositions of both men and women that bring both good and bad things to the table. A sensible balance is needed, that necessarily skews towards the Enlightenment Principles of logic and reason. The present situation, where male spaces are heavily undermined, and their intrinsic value frowned upon, is a symptom of a society that's given way to ideas that don't work in the real world.

The UFO Psyop Theory Is Missing Its Psyop (Richard Dolan)

The Wall Street Journal says our UFO “obsession” is distracting us from real national-security threats—and even acknowledges that military and intelligence institutions have sometimes deliberately encouraged UFO hysteria. Fine. But that creates an awkward question. If the UAP discussion is a coordinated psyop to convince us aliens are here, why isn’t one of the establishment’s most powerful propaganda organs on board?



The author of the Wall Street Journal article, James B. Meigs, is a known 911 disinformation artist. He's one of those 'conspiracy debunkers' and part of the gaggle of skeptics who use false arguments to make their case. He has a long history of protecting corrupt government actions. His obviously bankrupt arguments about UFOs reveal himself to be an embellishment hack, or a fool.

Editor's comment:

I post this stuff because it is analytical and an education about mainstream media lies and deception. But in today's climate this sort of disinformation is a transparent joke. It worked better in the past before all of the present disclosure videos - when the official denials were still in place - as opposed to the recent admissions.

Turkey Sides With Iran Against the United States (Jimmy Dore)

In this segment Jimmy cites John Mearscheimer pointing out that Turkey, along with China and Russia, has a strong strategic interest in seeing Iran withstand the war because a defeat could leave Turkey as a future target of U.S. and Israeli pressure. Jimmy and guest Jeffrey Sachs highlight the newly announced Mecca joint agreement involving Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia as evidence of a broader realignment in Middle Eastern security away from reliance on the United States.

They contend that countries around the world increasingly view U.S. policy as unpredictable and are reconsidering who they should trade with, invest in, and rely on for security. They portray this as part of a larger shift in global politics that Trump’s policies have accelerated, with countries seeking alternative alliances and partnerships to reduce their dependence on the United States.

Dolly Funded Moderna, Took the Shot On Camera… Then “Brief” Cancer (Jimmy Dore)

Dolly Parton famously funded and promoted the COVID vaccine, which top oncologists like Dr. Angus Dalgleish have argued can cause turbo cancer, and now she has succumbed after a “brief” bout with cancer herself. Jimmy revisits Parton’s 2021 vaccination video and criticizes her decision to publicly encourage vaccination, while arguing that her later health problems and cancer may have been vaccine-related.

Overall, the segment provides strongly critical commentary on COVID-19 vaccines, pharmaceutical companies, and public-health messaging, built around claims of a possible connection between vaccination and cancer.



Dolly did a LOT of good in the world, but, like many others, she was totally mistaken when it came to the Covid jabs. She was undoubtedly mislead by health authorities and doctors who where pushing a dangerous experimental drug on the public.

The $1 Trillion Treasury Bombshell: Is Gold About to Be Revalued? (maneco64)

In this video, I examine reports that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent could potentially tap nearly $1 trillion from the Treasury General Account to finance large-scale Treasury bond buybacks. I explain why this could be significant for the gold market and explore another potential source of funding: revaluing America's enormous official gold reserves.

I look back at the gold revaluations of 1934, 1972 and 1973 and explain how a modern revaluation could work through the gold certificates held by the Federal Reserve—potentially generating hundreds of billions, or even around $1 trillion, for the Treasury without selling the physical gold.

Could a higher statutory gold price help finance Treasury buybacks, establish a new floor beneath the gold price and transform the outlook for gold miners? And could gold once again become an important tool for dealing with America's growing sovereign-debt problem?

RUSSIA TAKES THE GLOVES OFF: 24/7 Strikes WIPE OUT Ukraine’s Ports, Retail Sector | Mark Sleboda (Rachel Blevins)

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted that we are seeing strikes like never before from Russia, wiping out Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea, along with shopping centers and warehouses.

The truth about One Nation's 130,000 net overseas migration (Leithvo)

In this interview with Chris Kenny from News24, I discuss immigration numbers and whether One Nation's target of 130,000 is achievable.

*Note: in the live interview, I wrongly said "end of 2024" instead of "end of 2004" when talking about NOM over the first five years of this century.



A very sensible assessment of the issue. Increased migration numbers have done nothing to improve the country or economy over the last 20 years. Labour issues still remain, which can be fixed via a proper focus on who is coming into the country and also internal changes to training and education. Mass migration has caused huge problems for the country combined with outsourcing of industry and high energy costs.

Seyed M. Marandi: From "Economic D-Day" to Nuclear Strike Against Iran? (Glenn Diesen)

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



It's essential to get the view of the Iranian side in the conflict. They are fully at war with the US and will not back down until their demands are met. They hold all the cards, and will not buckle to threats. They know that if they back down the US will keep trying to strangle their economy and foment internal disruption. At key thing to consider is that both Russia and China are supporting the Iranians.

Iran WARNS: ‘NOT A SINGLE DROP’ of Oil Will Leave Persian Gulf as Attack Drone Production TRIPLES (Rachel Blevins)

Iran’s new security chief, Mohsen Rezaee is NOT holding back, as he warned in a recent interview that: “if countries surrounding Iran cooperate with the Americans in the ‘economic war,’ we will strike their interests.”

He also vowed that: “not a single drop of oil will leave the Persian Gulf or the Strait of Hormuz, and we will also target other routes used to export oil from the Persian Gulf,” if the region joins U.S. in this expanded war.

This, as Russian President Putin is warning that Kiev has “opened Pandora’s box” with NATO’s long-range strikes on Russian economic infrastructure, and the consequences will be “catastrophic” for Ukraine.

Japan’s ZOMBIE Economy Is About To Crash! – James Corbett (Jimmy Dore)

Reportage author James Corbett joins Jimmy to note that Japan's economy has been in a "zombie" state since its 1990s asset bubble burst, with prices barely moving for decades until recently, and now faces a falling yen and rising inflation driven in part by the Middle East conflict and import costs. Asked about how Japan handled COVID, he explains that the country was never under a formal lockdown or mask mandate, but widespread social pressure—what he calls "horizontal tyranny"—led most people to comply with measures like masking anyway.

Corbett points out that Japan's population is shrinking, with deaths exceeding births amid a persistent low fertility rate, though he notes he doesn't have the latest data on excess deaths. He traces Japan's stagnation to structural issues, including a fragile banking system and "zombie companies" that survived on ultra-low interest rates, while also suggesting Japan's technological progress stalled relative to China's rise.

New Frontiers in Why You Aren't Allowed a Country (Sargon)

They're saying that because your ancestors fought against Nazis you must support open borders, because the Nazis were for closed borders. So you're a Nazi if you want a country with borders. But other countries have strict controls on who can come in and this does not make them National Socialists. The logic doesn't hold. It's just a ploy to have people go along with destructive globalist ideas that are serving the interest of the elites. It's unlikely the soldiers of the UK would have fought in WW2 if they knew the end result was the displacement of the native population with Islamists and people from the third world.

A New Study Claims the Great Pyramid Is 23,000 Years Old (Michael Button)

A new scientific paper claims the Great Pyramid could be around 20,000 years older than we thought.

If its dating method is right, it would completely rewrite the history of Ancient Egypt and human civilization. But does the evidence actually hold up?

In this video, we investigate the extraordinary claim, the science behind it, and what would need to happen for archaeology to take it seriously...



The dating comes from erosion seen on the stone, whereas there is carbon dating, from mortar (repair work?), putting it a few hundred years older than the officially accepted date. If the carbon dates are correct then there must be a problem with the erosion technique. Michael explains that the paper shows a scattering of dates ranging from near 6000  years ago up to 54,000 years ago. As things stand the 23,000 year claim is not credible without further work.

U.S. ABANDONING The Persian Gulf! (Jimmy Dore)

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joins Jimmy to argue that damage to U.S. military installations in the Persian Gulf has prompted the Pentagon to reconsider its long-standing military presence in the region, including whether damaged bases should be rebuilt. The two believe the conflict has weakened U.S. influence with Gulf states, which as a result will increasingly seek regional security arrangements independent of Washington, citing a proposed Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani security agreement as an example.

The discussion shifts to growing political divisions in the United States over support for Israel, with both Jimmy and Larry suggesting the issue could fracture the Republican Party and contribute to the emergence of a new political movement. The segment compares this potential realignment to the collapse of the Whig Party in the 1850s and argues that prominent former Trump allies are increasingly breaking with him over U.S. policy toward Israel.

He frames Morens's guilty plea as evidence of a broader government and scientific cover-up, while also arguing that his prosecution represents only a “limited hangout” rather than genuine accountability for senior officials or pharmaceutical companies.

This is the most redpilled video I've seen..(Asmongold)

Asmongold looking at a video about how leftists (politicians) are now setting aside their original set of social beliefs as hostile immigrant numbers increase in many jurisdictions.

Woke 1.0 brought in masses of people from the third world who are anti-woke, which is helping to sink their agenda at the same time as the West implodes. The West is being remade into the third world in many locations.

Part of the reason why mass migration came about is because it was facilitated by leftist/globalist politicians and a block of self hating and/or society hating critical race theory indoctrinated individuals who are unable, or unwilling, to comprehend the consequences of such actions. Many of them seem to be divorced from reality.

They invited people, MEN, into their society from the most misogynistic and patriarchal areas of the world and simply turned a blind eye. They seemed to care more for their ideological bent than the lives of the victims of this policy and the destruction of their once safe societies.

New Study: Missing Data Behind 112 UAP Videos (Richard Dolan)

A new scientific paper examines all 112 military UAP videos released through the government’s PURSUE program, and reaches a damning conclusion. The imagery may be genuine and potentially important, but the government has withheld the range data, aircraft information, sensor settings, unredacted telemetry and radar records needed to determine what these objects were actually doing. I have argued that while the videos do show interesting activity, this is not scientific transparency. The public deserves not only to see the videos, but also the evidence required to understand them. More than half a century after James McDonald published “Science in Default,” the government is still preventing independent scientists from resolving the UFO mystery. The imagery is important, but we must demand the complete data.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

One Of The Most Insane Things I’ve Ever Seen (Paz49)

Migrants are being given leaflets telling them not harass or molest Western women and children. Perhaps closing the border to new arrivals is a better idea. No one has a right to enter another country uninvited.

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.

Prove You're Not a Racist (Salty Cracker)

This is not about people being treated equally but given special privileges, which should not happen. Everyone should be happy to be treated in the same way as everyone else. 

Also, after slavery ended people of colour won their freedom, but stayed in the USA. If white slaves had won their freedom in North Africa, as opposed to all of them being killed, they would have returned to Europe.

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.

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.
