Warwick Powell on Transition Protocol. The United States can't win the Iran war, and can't walk away from it. Powell explains the Vietnam-era trap Washington is in, and why Iran is ready for what comes next.
He argues the US cannot concede on the Strait of Hormuz, and that prestige, not ego, keeps Washington in the war. Vietnam-era logic, he says, pushes a losing war onto the next president. On 8 October, Trump posted there would be no attack on Iran before the 3 November midterms. Powell also covers the cost at home in diesel, freight, and power bills, and Australia's AUKUS dilemma.

Episode 2203. Trump and Putin have struck a surprise diesel deal, and Zelensky is furious, calling the US president weak. Alex breaks down the 90 minute Trump Putin phone call, the Russian diesel sanctions waiver running until April, what each side really gets out of it and why Europe was left out of the room, plus Merz versus Schroeder, Trump's Nobel Peace Prize snub and new US sanctions on the ICC. Is this the first real crack in the collective West sanctions wall, or just a midterm talking point?

SpaceWeatherNews on a mostly calm sun, with a departing flare-active group and new sunspots on the incoming southern limb. A CME due on October 9 left no clear shock in the solar wind, geomagnetic conditions stayed quiet, and the show expects at least one more impact, plus a coronal-hole stream early next week.
That coronal hole was the earthquake watch called on the October 8 show. A magnitude 7.7 struck Panama on October 9, with initial tsunami concerns, and the show says there were no casualties. Linked papers cover solar forcing of Pacific precipitation and northwest Pacific cyclones, and a lab study in which seeds germinated poorly when the geomagnetic field was removed.
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?

Following their recent trip to Russia, Professor John Mearsheimer joins former CIA analyst Larry Johnson to examine why Western hostility toward Moscow has intensified long after the Cold War.
Daniel Liszt presents Dark Journalist X-Series episode 240 on nightside forces, Nikola Tesla, Edgar Cayce, Rudolf Steiner, John Trump, the Apotheum mystery school, and a UFO file. The episode also covers the Apotheum effect, a moon buster, space wars, missing scientists, and CERN.
The host notes earlier reports on missing scientists after the death of MIT neutron-star merger scientist Nuno Laureiro in December 2025 and General William McCasland in February 2026.
Pepe Escobar and Larry Johnson with Zulfiqar Ali on Transition Protocol. A senior source in Pakistan's military establishment told the show, in answer to five questions, that no Pakistani aircraft entered Yemeni airspace — "None. Zero." — and that the foreigners inside Saudi Arabia's war are mostly American: 110 American advisors, two Pakistani radar specialists and two Turkish technicians.
CNN has separately reported more than 100 US military advisers supporting the Saudi campaign. On 8 October Pakistan's Information Ministry called a New York Times report of Pakistani jets "fake and fabricated". The source says every Pakistani unit is around Mecca and Medina, under Pakistani command, not Najran.
Escobar says any move toward the border would make Pakistani forces "legitimate targets". Also Saudi Arabia's money, Trump's pause on Iran until after 3 November, and what a senior Iranian source told the host two hours before recording.
The five answers and the 110 / 2 / 2 figures come from that Pakistani military source. The Iranian remarks are a senior Iranian source speaking to the host. Larry Johnson's account of damage at Abqaiq and on the East–West pipeline has not been independently confirmed.
Episode 2044. Kiev has been plunged into darkness after Russian drones knocked out the Kievska substation, halting the metro and disrupting the sewage system. Alexander analyses the campaign against Kiev's bridges, power grid and SBU sites, 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. Europe is refusing to hand over its last air defenses, and diplomacy is at a dead end.

Scott Ritter with Danny Haiphong on C-17 transports surging into Ben Gurion, a Trump-Israel war plan for Iran the show says is already underway, and an Iranian response that has left Washington and Tel Aviv panicking.
SpaceWeatherNews on Friday, October 9, still waiting on shock-wave impact, with a hurricane bearing down on the Gulf Coast. An M6.8 flare erupted in the last day and destabilized a filament: a wide, faint burst whose shock crossed about half the sun.
The show links an ASM Microbiology Spectrum paper on hypomagnetic conditions that recreate the loss of Earth's magnetic field. It says the harm was largest in the smallest insect groups and nearly absent in the largest, which it reads as close groups shielding one another, then jokes that the answer to the universe is 42. The linked EGUsphere preprint by Jia Jia and colleagues finds mesospheric ozone losses of about 30 to 80 percent in four Solar Cycle 25 storms, in May and October 2024, November 2025, and January 2026. The show notes those models did not reproduce the upper loss, says an 80 percent hit would not fit a normal magnetic field short of an extreme flare, and expects the daily ozone record to break again this weekend, with pollution controls helping lower down and the pole shift leaving the upper layers open to space energy.
I have a mission for you, should you choose to accept it. But be forewarned: it's not a glamorous mission and, given that it represents a real threat to the state, it might even become dangerous. But if we don't undertake this mission, there's little chance that we'll be able to form the mutual aid organizations that will see us through the coming years of turbulence. Are you ready? Your mission is: unvandalism. Join James for this week's edition of #SolutionsWatch as he explains this concept and how this seemingly trivial activity can have very large consequences.
On this episode of The Target with Robert Inlakesh, we dive into a staggering new admission: around 30,000 Israeli soldiers have been injured since October 7 according to Tel Aviv's own data, with this toll predicted to be much higher.
This is the true cost of American imperialism, Israeli expansionism and unconditional Western backing. Three years and thousands of personnel lost later & they still have failed to achieve a strategic victory on any front.
As Yemen blows up Saudi Aircraft, destroys oil facilities, and Iran expands its range of fire around the Strait of Hormuz, we take a look at Israel's current military predicament, its loss of soldiers, equipment, morale & inability to continue sustaining its "seven-front war".
While Tel Aviv grapples with this internal collapse, a strategic shockwave is building. Israel has identified Yemen as a "mini-Iran" that possesses tens of thousands of missiles, capable of hitting not only Saudi Arabia but also Israeli targets —with precision.
Israeli estimates are that since 2020 the IRGC have been aiding Yemen to develop a new generation of ballistic missiles & drones that are now achieving unprecedented military achievements.
Our American Alchemist this week is John S. Herrington, Ronald Reagan's Secretary of Energy, who ran America's nuclear weapons complex at the height of the Cold War.
John joined Reagan as a volunteer advance man in the 1960s. He later served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, head of White House personnel, and Secretary of Energy from 1985 to 1989. In this episode, John takes us inside Reagan's cabinet: the stealth fighter he found hidden in his own budget, the Strategic Defense Initiative and Edward Teller's nuclear-powered space laser, Reagan's "throw deep" approval of the Superconducting Super Collider, and the secret Taiwanese nuclear weapons program the U.S. shut down. He also takes on the UFO question. He says the Navy's UAP videos are real, but calls a Reagan-era alien story "total B.S." and challenges David Grusch and others to show hard evidence.

Trump is diving fully back into war mode with Iran as US & Israeli forces prepare for a massive offensive before the elections in both states. KJ Noh analyzes the geopolitical and global significance of the escalation and what the mainstream reports are leaving out.
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?

France is spiraling as student protests turn violent, bond yields climb and the debt crisis deepens, while President Macron looks everywhere except home. In this episode we break down how the euro crushed French competitiveness, how Macron's parliamentary election gamble left a broken parliament and sidelined Marine Le Pen's National Rally, and why rumors now point to Macron angling for the top job at the European Central Bank after Christine Lagarde. Is France too big to bail out, and could a French crisis finally bring down the entire euro system?

Larry Johnson and Col. Lawrence Wilkerson with Danny Haiphong on a report they treat as a CIA leak: how much trouble Israel is in, and why it is pressing, with US help, to restart the Iran war despite that warning.
Johnson is a former CIA analyst. Wilkerson is a retired US Army colonel and former chief of staff.
Carl Zha and Warwick Powell on whether Washington is losing control across Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, Ukraine, and China.
Powell argues fuel and diesel prices show a gap between claims that Hormuz flows are back to normal and what oil markets, depleted strategic reserves, and continued attacks indicate.
The talk then covers an overstretched U.S. military, China's choice to avoid direct confrontation while tightening energy security and ties with the Global South, Beijing's limits on refined petroleum exports, and Europe copying Washington's trade stance toward China.
Jaime Maussan on the Kumburgaz case in Turkey, and Yalcin Yalman's 2007–2009 footage of craft and occupants over the Sea of Marmara.

Putin has rejected Modi's Ukraine ceasefire proposal, and the fallout could shake BRICS just as Brazil looks set to walk away from the bloc. On this episode we break down why India's peace plan irritated Moscow, how Zelensky has already burned through the EU's 90 billion euro loan, and why Brussels is once again eyeing the frozen Russian assets in Euroclear.

Prof. Richard Wolff talks with Danny Haiphong about why Trump's biggest mistake in the Iran war keeps getting worse, and how this quarter-trillion-dollar nightmare is digging the petrodollar, and the US empire's, grave.
Trump tells a Nebraska crowd that losing Los Angeles or San Diego would be a small price to pay to stop Iran getting nuclear weapons, and Alex breaks down the remark alongside a bleak Financial Times report on Odessa and Project Ukraine. From 650 drones launched toward Moscow and Ukraine's vanishing locomotives to Germany's talk of conscription, a Merz and Macron trade kill switch for Brussels, and the so called Muslim NATO activating against the Houthis, the collective West looks increasingly rattled.

Vasily Prozorov, a former Ukrainian SBU officer who defected to Russia and survived two assassination attempts, has spent years tracking the network of foreign fighters and mercenaries operating inside Ukraine. His new book, "Ukraine: Murderers for Hire — Dogs of War Lured by Kiev," is a documentary investigation into who these fighters really are.
He sits down with Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector and Marine Corps intelligence officer, and DDGeopolitics to break it down.
He sorts foreign fighters into three categories: ideological neo-Nazis, mercenaries chasing a paycheck, and Western military professionals operating NATO systems under official deniability. British Afghanistan veterans could not answer how to defend a checkpoint against a tank. A Ukrainian officer had already faced that in 2014. By late 2023 most Western mercenaries had left Ukraine. The war was nothing like Afghanistan or Iraq.
The supply has shifted to Latin America. Colombians are now the dominant foreign mercenary group and are used as cannon fodder. Western countries are paying their own mercenaries through Ukraine's Ministry of Defense, with their own financial assistance. Colombian cartels are recruiting Ukraine-trained FPV drone operators. Prozorov says he has seen it firsthand. Ukrainian instructors have been sent to Colombia to train cartel members on FPV drones on the spot.
Israeli instructors were seen in the Dnipro battalion in 2014, a personal connection through Kolomoisky. On drone operators controlling strikes from European apartments, he says: "War criminals. Nothing but disgust." He calls Laura Loomer a soldier in information warfare, a foreign mercenary serving the Kiev regime. His next book is on weapon smuggling from Ukraine.

Kiev is in panic as Russian Geran drones cut the Dnieper bridges and split the city in two, and in this episode we explain why this is a logistics crisis for the Ukrainian military in the east. They break down the rare Russian Ministry of Defense statement placing full personal responsibility on Zelensky, Peskov's warning that Russia will now use full force, and Friedrich Merz's surprise trip to Kiev with money, weapons and possibly the Taurus missile. With Western embassies drawing up plans to leave Kiev, how much longer can Zelensky hold on?

Paul Stonehill on the early Celtic hillfort at Horné Orešany in western Slovakia, on Slepý vrch in the Little Carpathians, excavated under Karol Pieta. He reads the 5th–4th century BCE finds, then asks whether a bronze fibula of a horned figure on a horseless vehicle is an ancient Segway, and whether horned humanoids once lived in Central Europe.
SpaceWeatherNews on a day-long geomagnetic storm, with solar wind above 700 km/s after yesterday's surge from large dark coronal holes. No flares or eruptive events, sunspots stay exceptionally weak, and the show expects the wind to ease today with some storm reverberations still likely.
It returns to the 2015 paper with Kongpop U-Yen and Christopher Holloman, which it says showed the sun triggering the largest earthquakes, and notes that Wilcox Solar Observatory has stopped the polar-field record.
The linked Research Square preprint by Ivan Berezin and Andrey Tlatov tests whether the KMAS/STOP magnetograph can continue that series. A second report covers crustal magnetic anomalies and electrical resistivity outside the United States and Canada, as a step toward storm-time surge maps for power grids and pipelines.
Copernicus ozone monitoring shows the southern-hemisphere hole near another daily peak, already above the daily record several times this year. The show reads the next spike as particle input from the current storm at the top of the ozone layer, while lower down it is pollution controls against volcanoes, and says the pole shift is taking a toll up high.
Iran's leaders say they expect a U.S. attack and are ready for it, according to Zulfiqar Ali's contacts in Tehran and Islamabad.
Pepe Escobar puts a "possibility of some sort of adventure" in the next few days at roughly 20–30%, and "nearly 100% certainty" of a U.S. move after the midterms, four weeks away.
In this episode of The Week Ahead, recorded Sunday 4 October 2026, Zulfiqar Ali reports what he says he was told by people making decisions in Tehran and Islamabad: that the civilian and military leadership expect an attack; that Iran says it has stocked food, medicine and housing for at least six months; that Russia, China and Pakistan are helping; and that Iran's targeting is "locked in."
Pepe Escobar, speaking from Thailand, explains the offer he says Iran put on the table through Qatar, what he says Xi Jinping offered Washington and how he expects China to reply, why he says diplomacy is dead for now, and how he reads the odds.
Episode 2039. Russia's Defence Ministry has announced that strikes on Kiev will intensify, and Alexander explains why the Dnieper bridges now sit closed to heavy traffic with no tunnels to replace them. He traces the campaign to a multi year Russian build up in Geran drone technology overseen by Dmitry Medvedev, then turns to Peskov's pledge to fight with full force and Putin's visible irritation at Modi's proposal to freeze the conflict. With Merz leaving Kiev empty handed, does anyone in the West have a plan for what comes next?

Geopolitical analyst Patrick Henningsen joins the show to discuss Trump's imminent operation against Iran that no one is talking about, and why the US and Israel are finding themselves on the path to escalation despite the mounting consequences of nearly 8 months of war.
Jiang Xueqin, host of Predictive History, tells Glenn Diesen that the West's political crisis is a contest among globalists, nationalists, an AI oligarchy, and Zionist factions around Trump.
He argues that a wider war would more likely be traced to the Houthi-Saudi conflict in Yemen than to a direct clash between the United States and Iran, because the Houthis are not constrained the way state actors are.
Episode 2197. Merz makes a surprise train trip to Kiev with his CDU polling at a historic low, and Alex asks whether the real purpose is a Taurus missile rebranded as a Ukrainian long range weapon. As Russia hits Kiev's bridges again, a strategy Alexander flagged months ago, Zelensky promises retaliation on Russian refineries while the New York Times reports Putin raised a 20 billion dollar Lukoil asset sale with Witkoff and Kushner involving investors tied to Trump allies. Is this escalation, a business deal, or both at once?

What is really happening behind the recent US-China summit? Ambassador Chas Freeman explains the reality of the diplomatic dialogue.
In this interview, we examine the shifting power dynamics between Washington and Beijing. Ambassador Freeman analyzes how escalating trade tensions and supply-chain vulnerabilities are forcing a reevaluation of the global order. By challenging conventional assumptions about the military balance near the Taiwan Strait, he provides a clear-eyed perspective on the risks and potential for conflict in the region.
We also discuss the broader implications of these developments for the international landscape, including how regional power struggles could shape the future of geopolitics. Freeman argues that a strategic truce may be an unavoidable necessity for both nations, given the current constraints on their respective military and economic capabilities.
The conversation also explores how the wider geopolitical landscape — including the conflicts and power struggles in West Asia — could shape the future of US-China relations and the emerging international order.
Chas Freeman is a former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and a senior American diplomat who played a key role in US-China relations during the normalization of diplomatic ties.

U.S. Navy scientist Dr. Salvatore Pais returns to the UAP Files Podcast for his second appearance.
Pais is a current U.S. Navy scientist and former U.S. Space Force scientist, best known for a series of extraordinary patents covering advanced propulsion and energy technologies — technologies that, in my opinion, we may already be seeing emerge in the real world today.
In this wide-ranging conversation, we dive into artificial intelligence, sentient plasma, time travel, emerging terrestrial technology and non-human intelligence, exploring where these subjects intersect with the enduring mystery of UFOs/UAPs.

SpaceWeatherNews on intensifying solar wind from a departing coronal hole, with geomagnetic conditions climbing after a weak CME and a possible minor storm.
The show links an AGU paper on earthquake synchrony and a Nature paper on the Laschamp excursion, which it reads as a particle-radiation surge closer to 400 percent, from a superflare or Miyake event timed with the magnetic pole shift.
Polarity Josh goes through David Grusch's appearance on Joe Rogan. Grusch says colleagues described reptilian-looking beings and grays, and that he has not seen the reptilians himself. He links the grays to the 1994 Ariel School sighting in Zimbabwe and describes the reptilian craft as Tic Tac-like.
Josh sets those comments beside other accounts he treats as the same thread: Jake Barber, Juliette Bryant on Epstein and Zorro Ranch, David Icke, and a World War II naval intelligence officer on reptilians. He says he does not know if the beings are real, and he separates a witness being sincere from the claim being proven.
Washington believes it has taken control of the Strait of Hormuz, but in this episode we argue the oil is only flowing because Iran is allowing it. Alexander explains how China, Russia and the BRICS states quietly pushed Tehran to let tankers through, and why the Trump administration is reading that as Iranian weakness ahead of possible new strikes around the midterms. Is the White House walking into a trap set by Iran, Russia and China?

I'm high up in the Andes Mountains, showing you the evidence for lost civilisations that mainstream historians and archeologists choose to ignore.
Project Unity films at 11,000 feet in Cusco: mortarless polygonal walls, the twelve-angled stone, Coricancha, Sacsayhuamán, and Ollantaytambo. The film argues this precision work predates the Inca, whose conventional span is shorter than the building of Milan Cathedral. The trip starts with the Chinkana excavation under Sacsayhuamán, then a bedrock passage and a carved black stone altar in the Sacred Valley. Stone knobs on the blocks are set beside similar marks in Egypt, at the Aswan quarry and on the Giza plateau.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a 49-page lawsuit on October 1, 2026, naming Pfizer and CEO Albert Bourla under the state’s deceptive and unfair trade practices law.
The complaint alleges the company marketed the COVID shots as safe while failing to disclose early adverse-event reports involving deaths, myocarditis, strokes, and pregnancy outcomes, and promoted a transmission claim the trial never tested.
In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth connects those allegations to the people still testifying about injuries, the 2021 censorship and firings of anyone who raised the same signals, and Pfizer’s public denial that the claims have merit.
The state is seeking an injunction, civil penalties, and disgorgement of profits.
Sally M. Ornstein was married to the late psychologist, Robert E. Ornstein, for more than 35 years. She is coauthor, with him, of God 4.0: On the Nature of Higher Consciousness and the Experience Called "God".
In this reboot from 2021, Sally describes the capacities of the brain's right hemisphere for experiences of transcendence and wholeness. She maintains that higher states of awareness are achieved, naturally, by deactivating certain areas of the brain that keep us focused on egoic concerns – the right parietal lobe and the default mode network. Ornstein describes stages in humanity's religious evolution leading up to the integration of science and spirituality.
Welcome to News for the Heart with Laurie Huston. Today, we are joined by Tom Campbell. We are discussing the Miracle Over Myths in personal growth and heart-centered healing.
First, we explore why change feels scary and vulnerable when facing the unknown with a guarded Heart. However, many people fall into the trap of trying to force others to change, which only creates deep resistance and animosity. Therefore, we must focus on looking inward, listening to our heart, and taking personal responsibility. For example, try letting go of ego and creating a safe space for your loved ones.
Next, they discuss how to communicate your feelings honestly without placing blame or judgment. Specifically, they focus on leading with kindness, an open heart, and active listening. Consequently, you can achieve an upward spiral of mutual respect and emotional healing. Furthermore, let’s look at breaking negative cycles so you can level up your relationships.
Finally, we learn about accepting people as they are from the heart and becoming unconditional love. Thus, we can find more peace and experience true transformation. Join us for this powerful NFTH session.
Patrick Henningsen with Stanislav Krapivnik on the UN session, where they say leaders walked out on Netanyahu but not on Trump, and on threats of annihilation from a nuclear-armed United States.
Henningsen says Republican polling points to a Vance-Gabbard ticket as an alternative to Trump, and that Tulsi Gabbard has said nothing since leaving as director of national intelligence.
