Alex Christoforou | Putin's Two Options; Witkoff Oslo Ukraine Plan; Zelensky Has No Clue | Oct. 20, 2026

Source: Alex Christoforou youtube



Description: 
Europe is finally ready to talk to Russia, but the two option offer reported by the Financial Times looks designed to be rejected. Alex walks through the Witkoff Oslo meeting with the E4, Zelensky lobbying US senators against Trump, Elon Musk distancing Starlink from Star Shield, plus curfews in France, Albania blaming Russia for its protests, the Kim Jong Un coma rumor and Christiane Amanpour leaving CNN. Why would Putin pick either door when Russia is already winning?

Description:
On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down how Yemen’s acquisition of modern Iranian Khaibar Shekan missiles to strike Tel Aviv & the IRGC’s new missile strategy has completely destroyed the U.S.-Israeli strike plan. All as Washington issues warning to 11 embassies across the region that escalation may be imminent.

Plus, we cover a Saudi helicopter shot down near the Yemeni border, mysterious fires at UAE oil sites in the Strait of Hormuz, and the massive escalation of missile strikes on Saudi Arabia while Riyadh continues its horrific civilian massacres in Yemen, with the city of Taiz suffering the most casualties. Also, we debunk the mainstream media propaganda, & disinformation being spread in the alternative media, regarding Yemen.

The corporate media is completely silent on the massive escalation in the Middle East, but we aren't.

Stand with independent watchdog journalism.

Larry Johnson | Lavrov Lands in Tehran, MBS Is on His Own, Trump Is Out of Options,Hegseth Summoned Generals | Transition Protocol | Oct. 20, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Trump said Russia was doing “very little, if anything” to help Iran. Today Sergey Lavrov sat beside Abbas Araghchi in Tehran. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson asks whether that was a coincidence — and host Zulfiqar Ali’s Pakistani and Turkish contacts say the leader who is really on his own is MBS.

— 09:29 Lavrov in Tehran: “You think that was just a coincidence?”
— 19:55 MBS on his own: why Pakistan and Turkey have cut their support, per our host’s contacts — and China’s position.— 30:48 “There are no good military options”: Trump’s only way out, according to Larry Johnson.

What you’ll learn: why Lavrov’s visit contradicts Trump’s claim about Russia · why Pakistan’s border “closure” is two gates, not the border · what our host’s sources say about MBS, Pakistan, Turkey and China · why Iran wants the Islamabad MOU, not the JCPOA · what Johnson expects before the 3 November election.

Sourcing note: The reports on Pakistan’s and Turkey’s support for MBS, on China’s position, on sea traffic through Gwadar and on US helicopters off Pakistan’s coast are our host’s own sourcing and cannot be independently verified. Johnson’s report of a Quantico meeting of senior officers on 20 October had not been publicly reported at the time of publishing. 

Public record: Lavrov met Araghchi in Tehran on 19 October and said Russia is committed to its 20-year strategic partnership with Iran; Pakistan suspended trade at the Taftan and Gabd crossings (18 October; some reports say four crossings) and Iran’s foreign ministry cited “technical issues”; Trump said on 16 October that “Israel’s been very helpful to Saudi Arabia”; IRGC Brigadier General Hossein Zarifi was killed in Saravan on 24 September; Pakistan’s information ministry on 18 October called claims that the US Navy operates from Pakistani territory against Iran “baseless”.

A FEW TALKING POINTS IN THIS INTERVIEW:
• AI as an anti-human technology: Farrell argues AI is fundamentally anti-human and that its unchecked development could lead to a Terminator-like future if not carefully controlled.

• Consciousness upload agenda: He outlines a possible blueprint in which elites seek to infuse or transfer human consciousness into AI systems, effectively creating a form of digital immortality or machine-based existence.

• Will AI turn on us? Discussion of the risk that advanced AI could become autonomous, malevolent, or act against human interests.

• Elon Musk’s role: Analysis of Musk’s public warnings about AI and his involvement in its development, including the idea that something external could be “transduced” into AI systems.

• Cold War race to perfect AI: Historical context of the U.S.–Soviet competition in advanced technologies and how that race continues in the AI domain.

• Malevolent agendas: How AI could be weaponized or used by powerful groups for control rather than human benefit.

• CERN and the Large Hadron Collider: Speculation on whether high-energy physics experiments could intersect with AI development or open pathways to simulated or higher-dimensional realities.

• Simulated universe theory: Whether we may already live in a simulation and how AI fits into that framework.

In the video I reference the Putin-Trump call on October 9th. I said "December 9th" multiple times. This is my mistake. I meant to say October 9th. My apologies for the error.

Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump may meet at the APEC summit in China to discuss Ukraine, and Zelensky is not invited. Alex breaks down the Wall Street Journal report, Trump's blunt Truth Social message to Zelensky after pausing Graham's sanctions, Russia's Rasvet guided strikes on western Ukraine, and Macron's speech blaming Trump for fuel prices before flying off to the Gulf.

Description: 
Scott Ritter tells Glenn Diesen that the largest drone attack on St. Petersburg did not exploit a hole in Russian air defenses so much as a corridor along Belarus, Poland, and the Baltic states, where intercepting the drones would put Russian assets into NATO airspace, and that the precision implies guidance beacons inside NATO countries. He says Zelensky made the quarrel with Donald Trump personal, a mistake he calls fatal, and that the split points to the collapse of Ukraine and, with it, of NATO and the European Union.

Big Three, real one. Stand-off arsenals. Andrei Martyanov says political and military elites have brought Europe to the end, with France convulsing, and that only the United States, China, and Russia will decide a relatively peaceful world, because Russia's standoff arsenal, used every day, is not comparable to what he says remains of U.S. munitions after the Iran war.

Nima Alkhorshid reads Iran's foreign minister answering Donald Trump's endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu and the claim they will finish the job, then an IRGC brigadier general who said a MOAB strike on Iran would be answered with a father of missiles Iran has not used yet. Larry Wilkerson calls that talk a path toward another round of war, likelier after the November 3 election than before it, and says Egypt's President Sisi would be unwise to send troops to Yemen after Tehran warned of consequences.

Bigelow Podcast | Three beings at the bedside: Bigelow and Nolan's childhood encounters | Oct. 13, 2026

Source: Bigelow Podcast youtube



Description:
In this episode of the Bigelow Podcast, Robert Bigelow reveals a childhood experience he kept private for most of his life. At age 8, three short, hooded figures stood beside his bed, silent and motionless. It happened about four times. He wasn't afraid.

His story began earlier. Robert's grandparents were driving home from the mountains when a glowing object grew until it filled their windshield, then vanished with a sharp turn. They arrived home hours late, a classic sign of missing time. They refused to talk about it for the rest of their lives. Days later, Robert's mother and grandparents watched a large craft hover over a mountain before it disappeared.

Then Stanford geneticist Dr. Garry Nolan joins the conversation. Nolan describes nearly the same scene from his own childhood: three figures in his bedroom, pressure on the edge of the bed, and a face at a window far too high for anyone to reach. The two men had never spoken before last week.

Pepe Escobar | Pakistan Navy warns off US Black Hawks; Iran locks 400 targets, porous border, open routes | Transition Protocol | Oct. 18, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
Pakistani military sources say Pakistani naval aircraft warned US helicopters away from the coast off Karachi. The same weekend, trade across the Iran–Pakistan land border crossings was halted — and our host’s sources say Iran has 400 targets locked, many of them in Israel. Zulfiqar Ali brings both accounts, checked in Islamabad and Tehran; Pepe Escobar, from Bangkok after midnight, brings the dollar-bypass talks the closure interrupted — and the one country whose cargo still crosses.

— 07:57 The Black Hawk encounter, per Pakistani military sources.
— 16:30 Except China: the cargo that still crosses, per our host’s sources.
— 27:17 Iran’s 400 locked targets: the warning our host’s sources relayed.

What you’ll learn: why Pakistan and Iran suspended trade at their border, and what officials on both sides say it was for · whether Washington pressured Islamabad — and the answer our host was given · what the US Navy is doing off Pakistan’s coast · why Chinese cargo is still moving · where Iran stands on the Mecca defence pact · what Egypt and the OIC are doing about Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen.

Sourcing note: The Black Hawk encounter, the Chinese-cargo exemption, the saboteur arrests and the position of US naval assets are our host’s own sourcing from Pakistani military, naval and coastal officials and cannot be independently verified; we found no public report of the encounter. “3 nautical miles” is the distance as reported to our host; Pakistan’s territorial sea extends 12 nautical miles, and the host says the helicopters did not enter Pakistani territory. 

A Pakistani brigadier told our host the detained saboteurs were financed by the UAE; that is one officer’s allegation and has not been independently verified. The 3,000-truck figure and its banking cause are Pepe Escobar’s information. 

Public record: Pakistan’s Ministry of Commerce suspended trade through the Taftan and Gabd-Rimdan crossings (memo of 16 October, announced 17 October); Pakistani officials cited security, counterterrorism and smuggling and said the border is likely to reopen soon; Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman called the closure temporary and cited “technical issues”; more than 2,000 containers were reported stranded at Gabd-Rimdan, while passenger traffic continued at Gabd-Rimdan. 

The 400 locked targets are our host’s sourcing and cannot be independently verified. The Iran–Pakistan central bank meeting is Escobar’s reporting; the IMF–World Bank Annual Meetings ran in Bangkok on 12–18 October. Iran’s interest in the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement is contested: our host’s sources say Iran has expressed interest; Escobar says it is not being discussed in Tehran; Iran’s foreign ministry said in August it had received no formal invitation.
