Douglas Macgregor: When Governments Have Contempt for Their Own People (Daniel Davis)

The big question is, are enough people in Europe waking up? They've been softened up over the last few decades - brainwashed by globalist ideas. Thankfully facts on the ground, and the alternative media, has educated many to cause them to rebel.

Colonel Macgregor believes that a rebellion is forming over mass migration and reminds people of Napoleon's view that a country is made up of the State, Army and People. Macgregor hopes, or thinks, that army chiefs may eventually step in if a rebellion breaks out, or lead it, but the problem is the military has become heavily politicised, and that the intelligence agencies have control of key people in order to stop them acting independently. Military leaders are the targets of intelligence bribery and blackmailing. They are more likely to put down a rebellion than lead it, although big political changes are another matter (such as wins by National Rally, AfD or Restore Britain). 

When it comes to the war in Ukraine Macgregor says that Russia is now fighting to win, not to cut some deal, and knows it cannot leave neo-Nazis or globalists in power.

The end result of all the fighting around the world will apparently be a US withdrawal from Europe and the Middle East, but Israel is the sticking point. They'll want the wars fought to the last Ukrainian (to weaken Russian influence), or the last US serviceman in the Middle East, and at the expense of US Gulf State allies in that theatre.

Russia Begins To Isolate Kiev. Elites Rattled as Rail Link Hit (The Duran)

Trump publicly blames Zelensky for the diesel price shortage even though he personally authorized the strikes on Russian oil refineries that caused it. In this episode we break down how the failed Ukrainian drone offensive, Eric Schmidt's grim admission that Kiev is losing the war, and new Russian strikes on the Kiev to Poland rail line all point toward Russia tightening its grip on the Ukrainian capital much like it did in Odessa. Is Washington preparing to abandon Kiev, or will the pressure for escalation from Sikorski, Rutte and Schmidt win out?

Merz Failed Platform of War and Deindustrialization (The Duran)

Germany is in political turmoil as the AfD surges to record highs following the Saxony Anhalt election, leaving Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his CDU government reeling. In this episode we break down why Merz looks like a dead man walking, how his disastrous Bundestag clash with Alice Weidel exposed the CDU's weakness, and why Brussels may punish German voters the same way it targeted Hungary and Poland. Is Germany's political establishment about to lose control entirely?



The Duran looking at politics in Germany. One of the key things they point out is that deindustrialisation for many Germany people is seen as a disgrace. This is what globalisation has brought. The end of the clip is excellent, where Alexander urges a future AfD Government to move instantly, to restore the Deutsche Mark, talk to Putin on day one, restore gas supplies to lower energy costs, and likely begin the process of mass deportations (the unnamed polices he refers to) - all before the EU can organise to stop it.
On top of this, Merz is a dangerous globalist clown. The only benefit is that he is encouraging ordinary Germans to vote for the AfD. 

Note: It's important that Europe sorts itself out now before countries become balkanised and civil war breaks out. Signs of this are already apparent. It's up to voters to change things, by voting for nationalist parties, before the situation really slides out of hand.

Putin Warns Russia And Europe At War If Europe Troops Enter Ukraine; Big Houthi Victory; BRICS Meets (Alexander Mercouris)

Putin has just delivered his bluntest warning yet, telling Europe that sending troops into Ukraine means direct conflict with Russia, a message he chose to deliver from the BRICS summit stage in New Delhi alongside Modi and Xi Jinping. Alexander breaks down why Putin timed this warning now, how a stunning Houthi battlefield surge in Yemen has forced Saudi Arabia to shut down a critical oil pipeline, and why Donald Trump has twice turned away a desperate Mohammed bin Salman. With Europe's rhetoric growing more reckless by the day, how much longer before this warning is tested?

Diesel Crisis Worsens as Houthis Tighten Grip on al-Mandeb Strait (The Duran)

Diesel and gasoline prices are hitting historic highs as Donald Trump finally admits the United States is at war with Iran, a war he now says will not end until after the midterms. In this episode we break down how a spiraling energy crisis, a resurgent Houthi offensive against Saudi Arabia, and Scott Bessent's plan to use the energy shock against China could collide into a genuine economic storm for the West.

Yemeni Forces Take KEY Red Sea PORT CITY as Saudi-Backed Mercenaries FLEE (Rachel Blevins)

The Yemeni Armed Forces are on the move, taking control of the strategic Red Sea port city of Mokha, in a shocking offensive that sent Saudi-backed mercenaries fleeing. Now, not only does Ansar Allah have increased control over the Bab El-Mandeb Strait and Yemen’s western coast, but they are not stopping there…



The clip also covers the situation in Ukraine, where there are no longer any interceptor missiles able to shoot down drones or ballistic missiles fired by Russia. As a whole, the Middle Eastern States lack air defence missiles to protect against Iranian attack - the same as we see in Ukraine.

Putin's Advice to Trump; Ratcliffe's Ukraine Power Grab (The Duran)

Ukraine's military and financial collapse is accelerating as Russian forces bomb Black Sea ports and logistics hubs while Kiev runs low on fuel and cash. In this episode we break down Putin's blunt advice to Trump to simply stop helping Ukraine, the CIA's Ratcliffe pushing to replace Witkoff and Kushner as chief negotiator, and the New York Times and Spectator reports admitting Ukraine is losing the war. With Zelensky flying to the UN chasing more money instead of missiles, how much longer can this go on?

Douglas Macgregor: U.S. Defeated in Iran & Israel Will Not Survive (Glenn Deisen)

Douglas Macgregor is a retired Colonel, combat veteran, and former senior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Defense.



Excellent assessment from Macgregor. The title for this clip does not tell the whole story. Macgregor sees the war against Iran as a no win situation, with the US, that is under the influence of the Israelis, withdrawing from Central Asia, following on from the British Empire, and that the war in Ukraine is now finally on its last legs. Economic disaster is on the way too. He thinks there will be (political) revolution in the West against the globalists, and there are already signs of this happening. People on the street can see the truth directly, and also via the alternative media, and are acting accordingly. The main thing to consider, in terms of creating a better future, is that truth and transparency is essential. Thankfully we are already on this path.

Trump Careening Towards the Point of No Return w/Iran Col Doug Macgregor (Daniel Davis)

Colonel Macgregor repeats the point that the US cannot win against Iran in the Middle East and that Trump never really understood the military situation. He says the US is doing the bidding of the Israelis who have captured Washington. He thinks that the agenda to destroy Iran will fail and backfire on Israel as a board alliance is created to oppose them.

Russia BOMBARDS Kiev with MAJOR STRIKES + NEW Geran Drones SHOCK the West | Mark Sleboda (Rachel Blevins)

After a brief pause to entertain Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff (Trump’s sorry excuse for diplomats) over the weekend, Russia has returned to carrying out major strikes on Kiev. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed strikes on defense-industrial facilities and transport-logistics hubs in Kiev and the surrounding region on Monday night.

International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda noted Russia is using both ballistic and cruise missiles, but it’s also utilizing advanced Geran drones with jet-powered engines that appear to be under manual control, as they “loiter around Kiev until they decide which target they’re going to hit.”

To say that the latest Russian military advancements are driving the West crazy would be an understatement.



The interview also takes a brief look at the escalating war between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. This second conflict zone is pushing the world towards an economic disaster as Gulf State oil supplies are cut off.

Portsmouth Is Just The Beginning (Paz49)

The people of the UK can see that the waves of migrants, that are almost all men, are endless. Things are now heading towards civil war - against the corrupt Government. At one point in the near future they'll be a mass uprising, and perhaps a coup, to remove the criminals running the country.

The FINAL Warning to Government - the British People WILL FIGHT (Fast Jet Performance)

The Channel migrant crisis is spreading across Britain’s southern coast as people smugglers become “more daring”, a former home secretary has warned.

Illegal crossings have fallen 40 per cent from last year but Suella Braverman told The Telegraph that criminals were adapting quickly to tougher enforcement in France by changing their tactics and routes.

Mrs Braverman visited Portsmouth Harbour on Monday after 120 asylum seekers arrived off its coast in a mega-dinghy on Sunday.

Speaking aboard a boat to highlight the crisis, Mrs Braverman said the crossing “marks a new chapter in this long-standing crisis”.

The migrants set off at 1am on Sunday from Baie de Seine in Normandy, some 200 miles from Calais, to make the 70-mile journey across the Channel, believed to be the longest-ever crossing attempted by “small-boat” people smugglers.

Shadowed by up to five French vessels and two helicopters into British waters, the mega-dinghy was intercepted by two Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboats and a Border Force vessel south of the Isle of Wight and the migrants brought to shore in Portsmouth.

Their arrival in Britain prompted chaos when protesters waded into the Solent to confront them, before up to 200 people then blocked roads near Eastney Beach in an attempt to stop buses taking the migrants away to be processed at the Home Office’s Manston centre near Dover in Kent. - Telegraph

Paul Craig Roberts: Putin's Mistake - Letting the West Attack Russia (Glenn Deisen)

Paul Craig Roberts is an economist and former United States Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy. Roberts argues the US is in rapid decline economically and it is defeated in Iran. Roberts expresses concerns that a great power like Russia allowed the West to become comfortable with attacking Russia, which suggests that much instability is coming.



The clip opens with Paul Craig Roberts pointing out that the US is under the thumb of neocons that have been driving the Greater Israel project ever since the 911 (false flag) attacks. The war on terror has been about regime change, and it's now moved on to Iran. He adds that US Presidents are not really in full control of their administrations, going from his own experience and from what we've seen recently.

Roberts thoughts on Russia's conduct of the war in Ukraine, that they have not moved strongly enough to quickly destroy their opposition, are insightful. Over time this drawn out war has led to the idea that the Russians can be toyed with, by other Western powers, without much consequence. However, while this might be true kinetically the war is actually bleeding Europe economically.

The Russian war plan, while it was somewhat inept at the beginning, might now be for the war to drag on such that Europe falls apart without them having to fight them directly. Already we are seeing populist parties gaining ground in Germany, France, and the UK and elsewhere.

The Western-Israeli idea of waging proxy war is now backfiring in a world beset by globalist/neo-liberal economic and societal policies - where debt levels are sky high, where industry has been outsourced, where NET ZERO driven energy costs has destroyed whatever is left, and where mass migration has caused untold problems.

I think Putin let west attack because he wants' west to bleed financially and they are by supporting the most corrupt regime in the world bleeding to death in their own countries, without russia fighting them. A very smart move by Putin.

Russia Surrounds Key Donbas Towns Rejects Truce; Kharkov Troops Surrender; Witkoff Kushner In Moscow (Alexander Mercouris)

Russian forces are closing in on Ukraine’s key Donbas fortress towns while entire units surrender in the Kharkov region, right as Witkoff and Kushner touch down in Moscow to meet Putin. Alexander breaks down the battlefield collapse around Kostiantynivka, Dobropillya and Sloviansk, and explains why Putin’s answer to Zelensky’s ceasefire push is likely to be another firm rejection.

Out of Money, Out of Missiles: Zelensky Exit Plan as Trump Faces Ukraine Defeat (The Duran)

Ukraine's front lines are collapsing as Russian forces advance on Kharkov, Zaporizhzhia and Donbass all at once. In this episode we break down Zelensky's desperate push to close Russian airspace, the empty 90 billion euro loan and the very real chance Kiev's railway lifeline to Europe gets cut. Is this the checkmate moment that finally ends project Ukraine?



If the Ukrainians attempt to set up a Government in exile the Russians should issue arrest warrants and put out a bounty on these officials. Thus far the Ukrainian side have engaged in terroristic operations that could be used against them in a legal sense.
