Australia's house price crash is far worse than thought (Leithvo)

This week's Macro & the Mortgage Podcast with Catherine Cashmore from Land Cycle Investor breaks down the ongoing downturn in home values, critiques the latest Intergenerational Report, and answers viewer questions.



House prices are still massively overvalued according the some metrics, mass migration has only made things worse for the overall economy, and NET ZERO is accelerating the deindustrialisation of the country. The video ends with Leith pointing out that Australia is the biggest importer of diesel fuel in the world.

The United States Is The Largest Sponsor Of Terror Not Iran (Kim Iversen)

Washington calls Iran the world's greatest sponsor of terrorism. But what does 70 years of U.S. history say? From CIA operatives at the Hajj and the Muslim Brotherhood in Eisenhower's White House to the Safari Club, BCCI and the Afghan jihad, this is how America armed, funded and promoted the extremist networks it later went to war with, and who paid the bill.



US intelligence used extremists to serve their geostrategic goals for decades, and it continues today. This clip provides very important historical information about what happened going back to the 1950s. Share widely.

Russia Pounds Kyiv as US Pushes Peace Talks /Patrick Henningsen (Daniel Davis)

Russia keeps rejecting ceasefires because they're a scam so Ukraine can rearm for more fighting in the future. The key point with the recent Russian strikes vs Kiev is that they came after Ukraine repeatedly tried to hit Moscow and damage their energy system. How much longer can Ukraine hang on in this war of attrition? Henningsen does a good job outlining key aspects of the conflict.  Currently the US is making a LOT of money exporting energy products to Europe. A peace deal would put an end to this money making scam.

France plunged into chaos as student protests spiral violently out of control (News24)

France is in chaos tonight.

Yes, protests that were started by furious students about the state of education in France have devolved into violent riots and firebombings across the country leading to at least 2000 people arrested, 300 police injured, 170 students and 65 staff injured.



Rather than student riots this looks more like migrant riots. Civil war and/or balkanisation cannot be too far away. This is a warning to other countries in Europe. Right wing Governments need to take control and begin the process of remigration.

The DDOC bill just gets worse and worse the deeper you look! Topher Project Ep 502

We need to stop saying 'Could this get any worse?' because Albo is taking it as a challenge.

The deeper we look at this Digital Duty of Care, the crazier it gets, and Albo is traveling the world to BRAG about it!

I chat with the IPA's Andrew Bushnell who has gone DEEP into this insane legislation to see just how bad it really is!



The new bill is their latest attempt at having a blanket censorship system by making internet companies shut down content that is deemed as being 'hateful' or 'harmful'. It's the misinfo/disinfo bill repackaged which was clearly aimed at crushing political dissent. They've also given themselves powers to act as agents provocateur. Because we can't trust them, how do we know that their sock puppet provocateurs won't act in a false flag way in order to censor their political rivals? They could masquerade as being from an opposing political party in order to ban it. There's no real oversight to stop this sort of corruption. What they are doing needs to be exposed and defeated.

Iran Demands US Admit Defeat, 23 years Over in Iraq /Col Doug Macgregor (Daniel Davis)

Iran was cooperative when the US invaded Iraq. They kept out of the fighting but were smeared by the Bush neocons who failed to launch a war against them back in 2007-8. Macgregor points out that privately Trump wanted to withdraw from the region during his first term, but has now been 'swayed' to follow Israeli demands. As a result the US is facing defeat at the hands of Iran where all Iran has to do is hold on to the Strait of Hormuz. 

The Iranian demands are for the US to withdraw from the region, and for the Israelis to back down in Gaza and against Lebanon.

Much of the video has Macgregor explaining the history of the wars fought by the US against Iraq and the stupid and destructive policies put out that failed to reshape the region. The conflict was mostly about serving Israeli interests since the neocons were driving the policy, and produced the WMD lies.  

If the US removes itself from the Middle East Macgregor thinks that Iran and Turkey will assert their influence over their neighbours, as they have done historically. He points out that US interventions around the world cannot solve regional problem that need to be dealt with locally.

Russia Attacks Ukraine Energy System Hits Key Substation Power Plants; Massive Blackouts; Dobropilia (Alexander Mercouris)

Russia has struck the Kyivska electrical substation, the critical hinge joining Ukraine's western and eastern power grids, alongside the Tripilska thermal plant and a Kiev hydro station, triggering blackouts from Kiev all the way to the Donbass. Alexander explains why Russia spent years probing this target, how a global transformer shortage leaves Ukraine unable to repair it, and why Moscow's real aim is to hollow out Kiev rather than topple its government, while Dobropillia resistance collapses and Biletsky's Operation Vivaldi stalls before the rasputitsa. Is this the opening of the decisive campaign Russia has been preparing since October 2022?

COL. Douglas Macgregor : America’s Toxic Military Culture (Judging Freedom)

Macgregor points out that a complete military victory is the only option for Russia in Ukraine. The mainstream media and politicians have said that Russia is on its last legs and yet all of Europe allegedly needs to prepare for war. They are talking out of both sides of their mouth at once. The reality is that Ukraine has lost and suffered massive casualties.

While the US has spent trillions on its military over recent years it's now unprepared to fight a modern war against drones and ballistic missiles having failed to implement the lessons learned in the ongoing conflicts. Macgregor points out that when the economic calamity arrives much of the US Navy will be sitting in port, and that the focus should then be on domestic affairs, not international.

The key thing about the war against Iran, and the pending global economic disaster, is that it's a function of Israeli control over both President Trump and the US Congress. The Congress could put an end to it, but they won't. The Democrats only pretend to be somewhat in opposition but continue to provide enough support to allow continued fighting. There's no successful US-Israeli outcome in this situation, only a road towards disaster.

EXPOSED! LBJ Was Behind Coverup Of Israeli Attack On USS Liberty! w/ Larry Bowen (Jimmy Dore)

In this segment Jimmy speaks with Larry Bowen, president of the USS Liberty Veterans Association, who details the June 8, 1967 attack on the USS Liberty and the survivors’ longstanding claims that Israel deliberately attacked a ship it knew was American. Bowen disputes the official mistaken-identity explanation, describes reconnaissance flights, the attack and casualties, and says survivors were threatened if they publicly discussed the incident or their awards, while Jimmy brings up later allegations of a government cover-up and disputed evidence concerning Israeli knowledge of the ship’s identity.

The conversation then focuses on efforts to obtain a congressional investigation and public recognition for the 34 Americans killed, including a 2026 House resolution associated with Rep. Thomas Massie, while Bowen argues that political considerations and pro-Israel lobbying have hindered further investigation. The segment concludes with Bowen urging viewers to contact Congress and visit the USS Liberty Veterans Association website, while the two broaden the discussion to U.S.-Israel relations and their own views about government accountability.



The Israelis have been conducting false flag attacks for many decades. Their globalist supporters also want open borders for Western nations. They are no friends of Western nations. The truth must come out and be aired widely for this corruption to stop. 

Additional comment from social media:

Excellent interview. The ugly truth is that the corrupt Israeli, and also US, Government has no problem killing their allies, or even their own people, if it serves their interests (when it comes to war). They'll kill military personnel and civilians to get what they want. At the same time the connected globalists have no problem flooding Western countries with refugees from these conflicts, or even economic migrants, because they see Western people, as a whole, as a threat to their agenda. Look at all the protesting and activism vs the wars in the West vs almost no concern shown on the streets in other countries. The way out of this mess is to expose the criminality and then vote for nationalist/isolationist Governments in the West. The current crop of left leaning globalists in power only really pretend to show concern, but they're Epstein class puppets and don't actually do anything to protect their own citizens, or take a stand against what's been going on.

‘Spike protein was designed to kill…’: Dr McCullough drops chilling COVID vax claim |Allison Inquiry (The Economic Times)

Dr. Peter McCullough testified at the Allison Inquiry, where he made a series of claims about COVID-19 vaccines, spike protein research and potential vaccine injuries. McCullough said people who received the vaccines were “lucky to be alive” and claimed the spike protein was linked to gain-of-function research.



McCullough explains why some people have been spared mRNA jab injury thus far, which comes down variations in the vials (the concentration of the mRNA material), individual baseline (genetic) variations, and your own library of antibodies that allows your body to effectively deal with the pathogenic spike proteins and clean up infected cells. Please watch the video for an explanation. The jabs do not necessarily produce the same sorts of spike proteins in each person either and the material goes everywhere in the body. The technology is a mess and inherently dangerous.

The HATE is coming from the government... LITERALLY. Topher Project Ep 503

If Albo bans One Nation... we won't even be able to TALK about it online.

It's only when you put the Digital Duty of Care bill TOGETHER with the 'Hate Groups' bill that you realise just how much danger we're in.

And this isn't hypothetical, I've LIVED the abuse of power that I'm warning about in this video and I have the criminal charges to prove it.

In less than 12 months Albo has created a pathway for political dissidents to go DIRECTLY to gaol... and for the rest of us to not even be able to TALK about it online without being immediately deplatformed.

This is the end-game for the Fabian Method... cementing the position of our 'elites' and 'betters' at the top of society, and making sure none of us can challenge them, or organise to get our freedoms back.

But all is not lost, time is short, but that means we need to work hard to preserve our country and get rid of Albo at the next election... once we make sure that the next election will be FREE and FAIR of course...



An excellent clip outlining the structure being set up to support the authoritarian globalist Government currently in power in Australia. Everyone in Australia needs to share this information and kick up a fuss. The globalists need to be removed at the Federal level and also in the upcoming State elections. Australian voters need to choose the minor nationalist leaning parties first on their ballot papers to make the needed change. One Nation is the biggest of these parties but it helps to also pick People First, UAP, Citizens First, The Libertarians, and Family First, plus a few others of the same ilk. Labor and the Greens must be placed last. 

One footnote to this video: Topher says privatisation doesn't work in Australia because of all the Government regulations, but this isn't necessarily true when it comes to (public) utilities that comprise fixed infrastructure and a represent a captured market. It's difficult for outside entities to set up rival power or water systems to create real competition.

Currently multiple private companies are getting a slice of this fixed pie all down the supply chain - raising costs - with 'pseudo competition' via different service providers dealing from the same sources. In the past all of this was under the control of one public entity, and energy prices were low.

Otherwise this video is critically important viewing when it comes to pushing back against a pending dictatorship.

While We Sleep: UFOs Over Our Homes (Richard Dolan)

Two in the morning. A dark craft hanging over someone’s house. No movement. No sound. What in God’s name is happening here? I examine ten encounters from five countries, including black triangles, close approaches, and missing time. Whoever operates these things, why come this close? What about the people inside those houses? We argue about aliens and black budget programs, but we keep neglecting the obvious question: what are they doing? This seems important. And it strikes me as creepy.

The reconstructions shown in this video are AI-generated illustrations based on the accounts, not photographs of the events.



Fascinating examples featuring large stationary triangular shaped UFOs, and discs, seen over houses in the USA and in other locations around the world. What are they doing? One would think they are collecting (mental/biological) data in some way, but why? For an experiment? Are they making observations about the natural world as a scientist would?

Douglas Macgregor: Israel vs Turkey and Qatar: New US War Strategy? (Glenn Diesen)

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



The US is still demanding the complete capitulation of Iran, which means that a peace deal will not be possible. Iran can still destroy all land based US forces in the region through ballistic missile and drone attack. This means that the US cannot prevail in this region militarily.

The Israelis are now correctly seen by everyone as wanting to eradicate their neighbours. Countries with which they had relatively good relations must now see them as a serious threat, namely the Gulf States and Turkey.   

Macgregor further reports that the US is seriously planning an invasion of Cuba. 

Looming over all of the wars is an economic calamity brought about by a corrupt financial system that burdened the world with mountains of debt. Things are unravelling due to the rising oil price and actual fuel shortages.

Macgregor believes there will be a rebellion by the people of the West against their globalist masters as things get worse.

They Want Your CHILDREN to Fight Russia — I’ve Seen This Before (Fast Jet Performance)

I served for 20 years in the British military and went to war three times. Watching the growing warnings about Russia, disinformation, conscription and the possibility of Britain moving onto a war footing, some of the messaging feels uncomfortably familiar.

In this video, I look at what politicians, commentators and the media are actually saying, compare it with what we were told before Iraq, and ask whether the British public should be far more sceptical before accepting the case for another conflict.

Whatever your view of Russia, Putin or NATO, we need to be able to question the narrative, examine the evidence and have an honest conversation about what Britain is being asked to prepare for.

Is Xenophobia and Prejudice necessarily a Bad Thing? A short observation about the security mentality of Men and Women (Spooky eds)

Male Prejudice and Xenophobia comes from having to fight other males, and organised groups of them, for hundreds of thousands of years, in order to protect women and children who end up being the victims of other men.

The simple truth about men and their biology is that males have evolved, like other animals, to fight other males and predatory beasts. They are required to be strong, strategic, and somewhat expendable.

This world of violence is not something in the realm of women's experience, who are more open to others and tend towards communal/sympathetic thoughts when it comes to society - with a focus on child rearing activities, which only they could do.

When it comes to actually defending the tribe, as a whole, and being fully aware of the dangers, and acting against them, this is what men are about - including technological or innovative developments. There is a reason why young male children have a tendency to pick up sticks and use them as weapons, and why men strategize about what to do when things turn bad.

How often do women imagine themselves in a fight, or a war, and think about what they might do, or even consider such things important? Men think about these things all the time.

When it comes to political decision making that impacts the safety of our society many women tend to make choices based on assumed stability and general good will from others when none of these things should be taken for granted. Just because you are tolerant and inclusive, and expect to get help from others, does not mean that other people, particularly foreign men, have the same mentality. Projecting these ideas onto other people is a mistake.

This is the sort of psychology that the open borders globalists are using in order to destroy Western nations, and why it's important that women think about the consequences of their political choices and take a stand against destructive ideas, couched in good will, to protect themselves and society as a whole.

Also, remember that men are children of women, and women are children of men, so you have some crossover with this sort of thinking going against the predominant narrative.

PREFERENCES will decide the outcome of this Victorian Election - Topher Project Ep 502

Preferences are always important, but they're MORE important than ever at this Victorian State Election because of the abolition of the Group Voting Tickets, AND because there's now 3 parties in the running to win.

But in the UPPER HOUSE preferences REALLY matter because it's preferences that will determine who gets the all-important 5th seat in each region, which in turn determines whether the Upper House leans left, or right... and THAT determines which reforms and changes to legislation succeed... or fail.

It's one thing to change a government, it's another thing altogether to empower that government to be able to get things done!



It's vitally important to put a large number of right leaning (nationalist) preferences on the Upper House ballot to stop the globalist left leaning parties from gaining seats. An actual list of who to vote for will come out before the election in early November. As soon as the information comes to hand the list will be published.

We Just Found Something in Greece That Rewrites History (Michael Button)

A skull in a Greek cave. Stone tools buried beneath a coal mine. Signs of ancient humans on islands that are now cut off by sea.

New discoveries in Greece are complicating the story of how humans reached Europe. Some evidence stretches back around 700,000 years, while one fiercely debated skull could point to a much earlier arrival of Homo sapiens than we thought.

So who was there, and what happened to them?



Cool ancient human stuff. As a species we have been around for a fair bit longer than previously guessed. Almost everything made from wood is gone. Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years what sorts of things had been achieved and then erased due to global natural disasters? It's likely that for quite a long time people were living by the sea rather than roaming around the countryside building temporary camps. In the recent past people engaged in hunting and gathering, following their prey, but if there were more sedentary groups living by the sea, during the last few ice ages, all evidence of their existence would now be under water, buried in sediment, or eroded away.
