Larry Johnson | Bessent’s “Biggest Sanctions” FAILS Iran Moves Toward Mecca Pact as Trump Begs Pak for an Off-Ramp | Aug. 24, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Iran has been formally invited to join the Mecca Agreement — the trilateral defense pact between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey — with enthusiastic engagement already underway between Islamabad and Tehran, according to sources detailed in this episode.

The same day, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s long-promised "maximum pressure" sanctions rollout landed with no new named targets, prompting military analyst Larry Johnson to call it "a mouse fart" instead of the "volcanic eruption" that had been advertised.

Host Zulfiqar Ali and Larry Johnson break down what it means that Bahrain has asked to join the Pakistan-Saudi military pact, why the United States is now in a structural sour-crude oil shortage, and how China’s multi-year effort to broker Saudi-Iran détente is now visibly reshaping the Persian Gulf.

Larry Johnson is a former CIA analyst and military analyst who has covered Middle East security and U.S. foreign policy for decades. Zulfiqar Ali reports directly from sources inside Pakistani political and military circles. Some claims in this episode are based on privileged source reporting and are clearly marked as developing rather than independently confirmed.

Transition Protocol is a source-driven geopolitical and economic analysis channel focused on evidence-based reporting on the shift away from a unipolar world order, de-dollarization, and great-power realignment.

Dr. Eric Davis | Physicist Breaks Silence on Skinwalker Ranch and UFOs | THIRD EYE DROPS with Michael Phillip | Aug. 25, 2026

Source: THIRD EYE DROPS with Michael Phillip youtube



Description:
Eric Davis has spent decades working at the strange intersection of advanced physics, UFOs, intelligence programs, and high strangeness. A physicist and longtime colleague of Hal Puthoff, Davis worked with Robert Bigelow’s NIDS, investigated Skinwalker Ranch, and later became involved with the DIA’s AAWSAP program studying anomalous aerospace phenomena, UFOs and classified reverse engineering efforts.

In this conversation, we get into what Davis says he witnessed at Skinwalker Ranch, the role of consciousness and telepathy in the phenomenon, classified UAP research, alleged crash-retrieval programs, advanced propulsion, non-human intelligence, and what he says the U.S. government may actually know about UFOs.

This is a singular conversation with one of the most fascinating figures at the center of modern UAP disclosure.

Description: 
Laith Marouf and Ehsan Safarnejad with Deep Dive Perspective on whether Iran's stand has broken Washington's ability to project power in the Middle East.

Ehsan argues Iran's domestically built industrial base and resilience under sanctions allowed Tehran to push back where other states could not. Laith argues recent events signal the end of Western naval projection and a century of air-power dominance, challenged by drones and hypersonic missiles.
