Description: 
With about 77% of the Knesset vote counted, Nima Alkhorshid says Netanyahu's bloc is near 54 seats and the other bloc near 49, both short of 61, and Elijah Magnier says neither can form a government on its own. Nima cites a Wall Street Journal report that the United States warned Gulf Arab states to prepare for a brief, intense military campaign against Iran after the midterms, and Magnier says more bombing would not bring Iran to the table.

Ben Norton | The Five Pillars of American Power Are All Cracking | Oct. 28, 2026

Source: Thinkers Forum youtube



Description: 
American power rests on five pillars: the dollar and the financial system, the military, monopoly over advanced technology, fossil fuels, and soft power. Ben Norton's argument is that all five are now cracking.

In his lecture at the Fudan University Summer School on the Global South, Norton begins with theory, because the theories disagree in a way that matters. In the classical account, running from Hobson through Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg, imperialism is a stage: overproduction and insufficient demand at home, markets forced open abroad. 

For the Patnaiks, in Capital and Imperialism, the root is raw materials and the deliberate depression of incomes across the tropics. For the dependency school and the world-systems analysts — Samir Amin, Wallerstein — capitalism is a single global division of labour: a core that monopolises high value added, and a periphery kept from climbing the chain. 

Norton is frank about which of the three he finds most useful, and about the difference that follows: for Lenin, imperialism is a stage of capitalism; for the others, the two were never separable. Colonialism, he notes, is older than capitalism by millennia.

Description: 
In this episode we break down a new Atlantic article confirming that CIA director John Ratcliffe is running Project Ukraine, while Elon Musk accuses Zelensky of violating Starlink's terms of service and draws a hard line between Starlink and the Pentagon's Starshield. As the Starlink fight exposes a deep power struggle inside the Trump administration, Putin keeps betting on Dmitriev, Witkoff and Kushner to deliver a new European security architecture that Rubio insists is only about Donbas. Who is really running Washington's Russia policy, and does Putin's unusual diplomacy stand any chance?

Alexander Mercouris says last night's Russian strike on Kiev used about 20 ballistic missiles and hit the South Bridge, a road and rail crossing he calls the main logistics link for Ukrainian forces east of the Dnieper. He says photos show a hole in the railway that is enough to close the bridge, and that Norway's prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finland's president Alexander Stubb then called Vladimir Putin to ask for a slowdown, which the Kremlin readout shows he refused.

Description: 
Andrei Martyanov says the CIA is in a war with Russia contrary to Donald Trump’s intentions, that the agency never encountered this kind of war, and that it is lying about losses. Citing Larry Johnson, he says John Ratcliffe’s August trip to Moscow tried to convince Putin the campaign was a lost cause, and that US intelligence support to Ukraine was never turned off.

He also says European leaders who called Vladimir Putin were told that if Zelensky wants to talk he should come to Moscow, and that Europe has no seat in talks between Russia and the United States.

Jeffrey Sachs | 4 point peace plan that could end the Ukraine conflict | Oct. 27, 2026

Source: The Duran youtube



Description:
Professor Jeffrey Sachs joins Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran to lay out a four point peace plan he believes could end the Ukraine conflict almost immediately. Sachs traces the crisis back to the 1990 NATO non expansion pledges made by Genscher, Baker and Kohl, then explains how an end to NATO enlargement, Ukrainian neutrality modeled on Austria and Ireland, a path to EU candidacy and a negotiated armistice line could restore inclusive security in Europe. If Europe's leaders already admit all of this in private, why won't a single one of them say it in public?

Robert Inlakesh | Israeli soldiers blasted as the US vows Iran strikes within 96 hours, and Yemen targets Saudi pipelines | Oct. 26, 2026

Source: MintPress News youtube



Description:
Less than 24 hours from Israeli election day, fighter jets are in the skies. Robert Inlakesh investigates the killing of two Israeli soldiers near the Yehuda Junction, in Al-Khalil (Hebron), which he says triggered a pre-election operation that Netanyahu threatened could grow larger than anything since 1967. 

He argues the corporate media is silent on Gulf oil infrastructure, and says Ansarallah is dismantling Saudi oil assets, including pipelines, while those raids are framed as self-defense and the Iran-Yemen strikes as terrorism. The episode also covers a reported US vow to strike Iran within 96 hours.

Larry Johnson | 14 Russian tankers, why Israel fears striking Iran again, and 33 commanders if the leaders are killed | Oct. 26, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Per Zulfiqar Ali’s sources, 14 Russian tankers have delivered arms to Iran, distributed to 33 IRGC commanders who can act on their own if Iran’s leaders are killed. The same sources say Israel’s own intelligence warns that one strike would bring ten back. Israel votes tomorrow; Larry Johnson on what changes if Netanyahu loses.

2:16 14 tankers from Russia, per the host’s sources.
3:05 The 33 commanders and the decapitation contingency.
4:28 Why Israel hasn’t struck Iran again: one punch, ten back.
5:36 The same day: Saudi Arabia’s defence minister in Tehran.

What you’ll learn: what the host’s sources say Iran has prepared for a strike on its leaders; why, per the same sources, Israel’s intelligence has held back; what Larry Johnson expects from Israel’s vote; why Saudi Arabia went to Tehran and who arranged it; why oil on the UAE’s beaches matters for the Gulf’s water; what Brazil’s result means for BRICS.

Sourcing note: The 14 tankers, the 33 commanders, the decapitation contingency, the Israeli intelligence assessment, the Supreme Leader’s approval of the Tehran meeting and Mohsin Naqvi’s presence are the host’s sourcing and could not be independently verified; no public report of the tankers was found. Larry Johnson’s statements on Israel’s vote, the Saudi agenda, the partners’ position and the desalination risk are his analysis.

Public record: Lavrov visited Tehran on 19 October; the Russia–Iran 20-year partnership took effect on 2 October. Israel votes on 27 October; final polls put Yashar (Eisenkot) at 22–23 seats and Likud at 19–21, with neither bloc at 61. The Makkah Pact delegations met Iranian officials in Tehran on 26 October at Pakistan’s request. Israel Hayom reported a $1 billion Saudi offer to the Houthis; Riyadh did not confirm it. UAE beaches in Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah were closed after an oil spill. Brazil: Lula 51.8%, Flávio Bolsonaro 48.2%.

Scott Ritter tells Judge Napolitano that EU sanctions on Jacques Baud, a Swiss officer living in Brussels, froze his bank, and that officials told a German parliamentarian even a loaf of bread would break the sanctions.

He says a later review dropped the Russian-propagandist charge, kept the sanctions because Baud is so neutral that his speaking would reinforce Russia's position, and calls those sanctions a death penalty.
