Larry Johnson | The MOAB Can't Crack Iran. No One Can Save MBS. Europe Will Regret It | Oct. 17, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description: 
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, with Zulfiqar Ali on Transition Protocol, on why Trump's MOAB can't crack Iran's Pickaxe Mountain. Ali's sources in Islamabad say MBS asked Pakistan for help, repeatedly, and Pakistan said no. Johnson, who briefed a UN Security Council Arria-formula meeting on Wednesday, says Europe will start a war with Russia it will regret.

The show also covers what the MOAB can and cannot do, why Pakistan will not fight Ansar Allah for MBS, what Pakistani and Turkish officers told MBS about Israelis in his war room, how Johnson expects the war to end and China's role, and why diesel is short in a country that makes more than it uses.

The Islamabad decision, MBS's requests and the war-room account are the host's own sourcing and cannot be independently verified. Johnson's Europe and MBS forecasts are his analysis.

Max Igan | The System Is a Fiction: The Choice Humanity Faces | Oct. 17, 2026

Source: The Crowhouse youtube, thecrowhouse.com



Description: 
Max Igan, on INSPIRED with John Nolan, says the legal and government system is a fiction that exists only because people believe it, and that fighting it is fighting a cloud. He traces that view to a meditation around 2008 in which he saw the world as an emotional mirror and a loss of self, and he argues that people do not need to prove sovereignty to a system they never contracted with.

He tells Nolan he left Australia in 2021 after a shooter's licence arrived and he believed police were setting him up, and that he now lives mostly in Mexico. The conversation also covers Gaza as a moral test, wars he calls cover for depopulation, the smartphone as the base of a surveillance grid, and what he says still matters: the integrity of one's spirit. This Crowhouse upload mirrors the INSPIRED interview.

John Mearsheimer | Russia’s Existential War & the Rise of a Post-Western World | Oct. 17, 2026

Source: Glenn Diesen youtube



Description: 
John Mearsheimer tells Glenn Diesen that the end-of-history moment failed once unipolarity gave way to a multipolar order of the United States, China, and Russia, and that a liberal international order cannot hold when two of the three great powers are not liberal democracies. He says Europe's nightmare is poisoned relations with Russia after an ugly Russian victory in Ukraine, and the chance that the American pacifier leaves Europe for East Asia.

Mearsheimer argues Russia treats the war as an existential threat and will not lose, and that Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil push Moscow to wreck Ukraine as a functioning state. He ties Trump's diesel deal and pressure on Zelensky to the Iran war and the world economy, and he expects Trump to back off cutting intelligence and Starlink. He also says the Houthis are hitting Saudi oil routes, including Yanbu, that another short bombing campaign will not do what a 40-day campaign failed to do, and that wars are much easier to start than to end.

Dark Journalist | X-241: Jessup in the HotZone, Missing UFO File, Scientists and Apotheum Revealed | Oct. 17, 2026

Source: Dark Journalist youtube



Description: 
Daniel Liszt presents Dark Journalist X-241 on Morris K. Jessup in the Hot Zone, the triangle he draws between western Cuba, Bimini, and the Yucatán. With Rudolf Steiner and Edgar Cayce he reads it as Poseidia, the last island of Atlantis. The technology in that account is Cayce’s two-eye stone. Liszt splits Atlantis between the Children of the Law of One and a Belial group, and says the island sank when the stone was tuned too high. Survivors of that culture, not visitors from another galaxy, are Jessup’s explanation for modern UFOs.

Jessup, as Liszt tells it, is a Navy man at 19, a Carnegie researcher in South America, an astronomer in South Africa, and a digger in the Yucatán tied to Henry Ford’s Fordlandia. The Case for the UFO draws the Office of Naval Research after Carlos Allende, also called Carl Allen, annotates it with what he claims he witnessed at the Philadelphia Experiment. Jessup recognizes the handwriting. He then drives to Yale oceanographer J. Manson Valentine with something he will not say by phone. Hours later he is found dead in a Coral Gables park, a hose from the exhaust through the window, and no autopsy. In 1968 Valentine finds the Bimini Wall where Cayce had said a Poseidian temple would rise.

Liszt sets that death beside the scientists in his recent reports. Major General William McCasland has been missing since 27 February 2026. From the Podesta emails he takes Tom DeLonge’s note that McCasland held the Roswell material at Wright-Patterson, and he says Space Force officials left the general shaken the night before he vanished. MIT’s Nuno Loureiro is shot in Brookline by Claudio Valente. Caltech’s Carl Grillmair is killed in a reported carjacking. NASA engineer Monica Reza disappears on a hike in Angeles National Forest. Liszt ties a heat-proof alloy he calls Mandaloy to Roswell memory metal, and he names the distortion around these cases Apotheum: missing time, and passage through solid objects, the same effects he says appear when a UFO is seen.

Around them he places Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, Stephen Hawking in a submarine called Atlantis, Paulina Zelitsky’s 2001 city off western Cuba, and Thomas Townsend Brown’s Navy dives on that coast. Donald Keyhoe’s Silence Group is, for Liszt, the circle he calls X-Protect. Jessup is the early case of a scientist removed for getting too close.

Andrei Martyanov | Fake it ... but you not gonna make it | Oct. 15, 2026

Description:
Andrei Martyanov says reports of a strike on Borisoglebsk, pushed by Boris Rozhin and Fighterbomber, are fake. He says the field had no aircraft, eight combat planes had already left, and a photo of a hit Tu-22M3 was already debunked. On the Ryazan refinery he cites the Russian Defense Ministry: four Flamingo cruise missiles and 69 drones were shot down, and a tank fire from falling debris was put out with no damage to the plant.

He says the situation in Kiev is dire, and that Pete Hegseth does not understand this war. He claims Russia makes more than 5.5 million FPV drones a year, while the United States reaches a fleet of 2 million only around 2028. He points to a Pacific training launch from a Yasen-M submarine, Onyx at 170 km and Kalibr at 1,200 km, and says twelve Zircons reached Kiev. He also says the US Treasury has lifted energy sanctions on Russia and that this will not be reported. 

Einar Tangen | Saudi Arabia Called Beijing for Help. Trump Called Putin for Diesel. Nobody's Coming Yet: 110 Americans | Transition Protocol | Oct. 15, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description: 
Riyadh called Beijing. Trump called Putin for diesel. Nobody's coming to save Saudi Arabia — except 110 Americans.

("110 Americans in the Saudi war room" is per Transition Protocol's Pakistani military sources.) Here is why nobody is coming, what Beijing will actually do, and what the Russian diesel deal is really for — from a man who has lived in Beijing for almost three decades.

Einar Tangen joins host Zulfiqar Ali from Beijing as Houthi missiles hit Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport again.

Riyadh's calls: according to Transition Protocol's Pakistani military sources, 110 Americans were in the Saudi war room during the bombardment of Ansar Allah positions, even as Trump told Riyadh he wanted no new war. Pakistan will guard the holy sites only.

Beijing's answer: "very little," in Tangen's assessment — China will police dual-use parts flowing to the Houthis, will not arm anyone, and cannot project force from its single base in Djibouti. Reuters reported on 17 September that Saudi Arabia appealed to Beijing and that China privately urged Iran to rein in the Houthis.

Iran's choice: our sources say Tehran told Pakistani mediators it would not restrain the Houthis — it wanted Saudi losses.

The October surprise: why the Russian diesel deal (1.8 million tonnes from October to December) covers only days of US demand, and what Tangen thinks it is really for.

A gateway to a wider war? "Unfortunately, I do." And two ways this ends.

Sourcing note: "110 Americans" and the Iran–Pakistan exchange are the host's own reporting from Pakistani sources. Tangen's remark about discussions of tactical nuclear weapons has not been independently confirmed. On air, a figure of "510 to 525 million tons" of daily US diesel use is a misstatement; the US uses roughly half a million tonnes of distillate a day (EIA).
