Marty Rosenblatt | Precognitive Applications: Historical Perspectives | Nov. 4, 2026

Source: New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove youtube



Description: 
The late Marty Rosenblatt, MS, was a computational physicist who spent his career working in the military and industrial sectors. He was the president of the Applied Precognition Project.

In this video rebooted from 2016, he traces the origin of his work in applied precognition to the development of “remote viewing” and its use by the U.S. military intelligence establishment in the mid-1970s. He specifically points to the associative remote viewing (ARV) methodology used for financial forecasting. Several published studies have used this methodology successfully for financial forecasting. He discusses some paradoxes associated with precognition and how he, personally, has come to resolve them.

Einar Tangen | Trump's Election Disaster: China Is Winning as America Falls Apart | Nov. 4, 2026

Source: Carl Zha youtube



Description: 
Trump's political troubles are mounting, America's political landscape is shifting, and the consequences could reshape the global balance of power.

In this special post-November election episode of Silk and Steel, Carl Zha welcomes back returning guest Einar Tangen, Senior Fellow at CICG, to examine the political fallout in Washington and what it means for America, China, and the rest of the world.

The discussion explores how Trump's promises of peace and lower prices have collided with the realities of war, inflation, and growing public dissatisfaction. With Democrats gaining ground in the election, the question is no longer simply who won — but what happens next to Trump's presidency and the Republican Party.

As Washington becomes increasingly unpredictable, China may find itself in an increasingly advantageous position. While America alienates allies and struggles with domestic political divisions, China's economic stability, industrial capacity, and long-term planning could become increasingly attractive to countries looking for predictability.

Description: 
Pepe Escobar says Vladimir Putin phoned Iran’s No. 2, Mohsen Rezaei, directly and spoke with him for 97 minutes; China and Pakistan called afterwards. Host Zulfiqar Ali, citing a person in the room, says Rezaei then formally rejected the US offer and came back to Iran’s seven points. Ali also says two strike routes are “completely locked.” Neither the Kremlin nor Tehran has confirmed the call or the rejection.

Sourcing note: The call and the rejection come from a person in the room, as described by Pepe Escobar and by the host, and cannot be independently verified. Escobar says on the recording: “We don’t have the details of what they discussed.”

The US midterm elections delivered a crushing defeat for the Republicans, and Alex argues this was a punishment vote against Trump over Iran, inflation and gas prices rather than a mandate for the Democrats.

The Corbett Report | Sunday(?) Update Covers Emergency Warnings Around the World | Nov. 4, 2026

Source: The Corbett Report youtube



Description: 
James Corbett's Sunday(?) Update for November 4 covers three stories. He says governments in the UK, Germany, France, Sweden, Ireland, the EU, Japan, and the United States are telling people to stockpile and prepare for cyberattacks, supply shocks, and grid failure, and he treats that campaign as fear meant to keep the public compliant.

He says Australia's Bureau of Meteorology conceded errors in its historical temperature records after an independent audit found 110 years of one-way warming adjustments at Sydney Observatory, and he points to similar claims about US and UK records. He then describes elections in the US, Israel, and Brazil as a ritual that, in his telling, changes nothing.

Mark Solms | Consciousness Isn't in the Cortex | Nov. 2, 2026

Description: 
This episode is about where consciousness begins. Mark Solms, neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst at the University of Cape Town, joins to explain why he thinks it begins not in the cortex but in raw feeling from the upper brainstem. 

We discuss patients who lost REM sleep but kept dreaming, what that means for Freud’s wish theory, and children born without a cortex who still giggle and startle. He argues the hard problem was tackled from the wrong end, starting with visual perception instead of feeling. 

The conversation also covers dual-aspect monism, Markov blankets and the free energy principle, his attempt to engineer an artificial agent that feels, and why he thinks that at death the second law wins.
