Dutch journalist and podcaster Rico Brouwer discusses the fallout of COVID-19 and his successful legal battle against the Dutch state to protect the rights of independent journalists to film court cases, framing it as a victory against government overreach.

He talks EU, WW3, and also comments on the Great Reset project to strip us of our assets, citing examples in Holland of unrealized capital gains proposals. Given his background in IT, he touches on the loss of individual agency in a cloud-based digital economy.

Finally, he pays tribute to the late John C. Dvorak, reflecting on the changing landscape of independent media and the proliferation of influence operations within the podcasting space.

Paul Stonehill | Radar Ghosts and Underwater Strangeness: Soviet Submarine Commander's Testimony | Aug. 5, 2026

Source: Paul Stonehill youtube



Description:
Captain Vladimir Pavlovich Scherbavskih was an experienced and capable Soviet submarine commander. I have translated some of his recollections about serving in the Far East in the 1960s. If you follow my research, you know that the area of the Kuril Islands contains several secrets and mysteries.

I am the only one who presents such information to the public as in the West; modern American and West European UFO researchers are largely ignorant about Russia and China, and most likely do not speak any other languages outside of English. Would be great to have more Chinese testimonies, but you can find a lot in my channel, too, because I monitor their developments through Russian sources.

Pepe Escobar | IRAN Will Charge World To Use Hormuz Now – 12 Days Until FREE PASSAGE | Aug. 5, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube


Description:
Strait of Hormuz news today: Washington says a deal to reopen the strait could come within 48 hours — but the Islamabad Memorandum's free-passage clause expires on 16 August, and the arrangement replacing it is being negotiated in Muscat. Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali on the US–Iran MOU deadline, the Iran–Oman Hormuz agreement, and who is actually writing the terms.

What Article 5 of the memorandum actually says and why the sixty-day free-passage window matters more than the headline. The fee structure reportedly under negotiation between Tehran and Muscat, and how it collides with the freedom-of-movement framing given to markets this morning. 

Why crude moved today. The Pakistan channel: Ishaq Dar's invitation to Foreign Minister Araghchi, and the reported parliamentary visit stacked against Independence Day on 14 August and the expiry of the clock on 16 August. The Saudi reversal, the weekend phone call, and the strike that did not happen.

Analysis by Pepe Escobar, geopolitical analyst and correspondent, and Zulfiqar Ali, Transition Protocol. This episode distinguishes throughout between publicly confirmed developments and single-source reporting from our own channels; both are labelled as such on screen.

The Corbett Report | How Foucault's Pendulum Proves Everything is Connected | Aug. 4, 2026

Source: corbettreport.com



Description:
When you read Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum and saw the allusions to Francis Bacon's New Atlantis, did you begin to suspect a Plan? Did you think that James was obviously sending you on a literary journey from one stepping stone to the next on the way to a predetermined destination?

That would be a perfectly reasonable supposition...but it's completely incorrect. These works were chosen completely independently from each other by people who didn't even know of the other's existence, let alone the other's choice of book.

Does this information bother you? Should it? Why?

These are the sorts of questions one begins to ask oneself when you engage in a rabbit hole as large and as all consuming as Foucault's Pendulum—a rabbit hole that contains all other rabbit holes. And that's precisely how Eco would have wanted it...maybe.
