Dr. Marwa Osman | IRGC Reports 3 F-35s DESTROYED in Jordan as ATTACKS Force U.S. Military OUT | July 30, 2026

Source: Rachel Blevins youtube



Description:
Iran’s IRGC reported that missile attacks on the Muwaffaq al Salti Air Base in Jordan destroyed three U.S. F-35 fighter jets, and damaged three others. They say the attack also killed several U.S. officers and technicians who were on site.

Of course, Central Command was quick to claim the reports were false, and U.S. air defenses shot down all incoming missiles. They did the same earlier this month before they admitted that Iranian attacks killed multiple U.S. soldiers, and left more than 100 injured. 

Veteran Lebanese Journalist Dr. Marwa Osman noted that we are entering “a catastrophic phase” of the war, as the Trump Admin’s frustration with the resilience of the Iranian people, pushes Iran to escalate its strategic response. The impact of this war is already being felt across the region and by the global economy, as the Axis of Resistance prepares for its next round of attacks…

MintPress News | Iran BLASTS US Bases with New Hybrid Missiles - 3 More War Fronts Explode | July 30, 2026

Source: mintpressnews.com



Description:
The myth of US military invincibility is shattering on the battlefield.

In this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down Iran's new hybrid missile and drone strategy that is successfully targeting US military bases across the Middle East — while Washington expands its war across multiple fronts. The corporate media is working overtime to spin this as a minor escalation, but the facts on the ground prove the failure of American imperialism. We directly question the motives of the US government and the corporate media that acts as its willing stenographer. In today's episode, Robert explores:

- Iran's development and battlefield use of hybrid missile and drone systems
- The US expanding its strikes on civilian infrastructure inside Iran
- Saudi-US strikes on Iraq threatening a much broader regional war
- Claims that three F-35 fighter jets were destroyed at a base in Jordan
- How corporate media is covering for military failure with propaganda

Gabriel Kennedy explores Robert Anton Wilson's Quantum Psychology, revealing how Wilson synthesized quantum physics, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and general semantics into a practical guide for questioning certainty and expanding awareness.

The discussion examines Wilson's ideas on language, perception, observer participation, E-Prime, nonlocality, systems thinking, and the pursuit of greater psychological flexibility and joy. Together with Jeffrey Mishlove, Kennedy reflects on Wilson's enduring influence as a philosopher, trickster, and visionary whose work remains strikingly relevant in today's information-rich world.

Dr. Warwick Powell | Why America's Economic War on China Is Backfiring | July 30, 2026

Source: Carl Zah youtube



In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Warwick Powell joins Carl Zha to explain why America's economic crisis is rooted in its own financial system—not in Beijing.

They discuss:
- Why tariffs haven't revived American industry
- The Strait of Hormuz crisis and its impact on the global economy
- Trump's economic strategy and the limits of trade wars
- Shareholder capitalism versus productive industry
- Why Wall Street and Main Street have fundamentally different interests
- China's industrial strategy and why it continues to outperform Western economies
- Why blaming China won't solve America's structural problems

Dr. Powell argues that the United States must first make peace with itself before it can find peace with the rest of the world.

Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation offers a thought-provoking perspective on the changing global economic order.

Siberia keeps revealing ancient secrets that challenge what we think we know.

• Elongated “alien-like” skulls from a 1,500-year-old burial in the Omsk region — linked to the Huns and possibly ritual priestesses

Strange archaeological finds that blur the line between history, ritual, and the unexplained.

Pepe Escobar & Larry Johnson | Saudi's Suicidal Attack Just Shook the IRAN Talks And Trump Is LYING | July 29, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
The four days of optimism about the Iran–US talks died this morning.

Hours after the US and Saudi Arabia struck Iraq's Hashd al-Shaabi — forces attached to Iraq's own Ministry of Defense — Transition Protocol's overnight sources report the hour-long call between Foreign Minister Araghchi and his Saudi counterpart, with Pakistan's Ishaq Dar looped in, that kept the Strait of Hormuz talks from collapsing outright. That call has since appeared in public readouts; here is what our sources are telling us now.

Pepe Escobar breaks down the strikes and why the White House's 'coordination with the Iraqi government' story doesn't add up; former CIA analyst Larry Johnson delivers his verdict — 'the optimism is dead' and Saudi Arabia's new three-front war is 'almost like committing suicide' — and lays out the Houthi counter-blockade trapping tankers off Yanbu plus the global diesel and jet-fuel shortage building underneath the war; and Zulfiqar Ali reports Iran's exact three-step sequencing — Hormuz first, the frozen funds, then the nuclear file — and the new Omani 'window-dressing' formula on the table.

Ike Baker | The Odyssey's Esoteric Secret: This Reality Is a Soul Trap | July 30, 2026

Source: THIRD EYE DROPS with Michael Phillip youtube



Description:
Ancient philosophers understood The Odyssey as far more than an adventure story. They believed it contained hidden layers that exposed deep truths about the structure of reality and the human condition.

We trace the tradition of esoteric myth interpretation from the Orphics, Pythagoreans and the Derveni Papyrus through Plato, Porphyry, Macrobius and Proclus, examining the possibility that Homer encoded a metaphysical account of the cosmos, incarnation and the soul’s struggle to return home. We also explore the provocative Platonic idea that Hades may not simply be somewhere we go after death, but the embodied world we are living in now.

Along the way, we get into the Platonic Myth of Er, the Milky Way as a gathering place for souls, the waters of Lethe, divination, and Porphyry’s extraordinary interpretation of the Cave of the Nymphs and Odysseus wandering the sea as an image of the soul trying to find its way out of material existence.

We also examine the Cyclops as a symbol of the soul blinded by material pleasure, anamnesis as the recovery of our forgotten divine identity, Odysseus’s twelve ordeals as a zodiacal journey, Proclus’s claim that Homer preserved instructions for soul ascent, and Odysseus casting off his rags as an image of the soul stripping away its material garments and finally returning "home."

In the early 1950s, these individuals were among the first to explore the potential of psychedelic drugs (mescaline, psilocybin, and LSD) as a tool for spiritual and psychological breakthroughs.

Description:

Danny Goler shares the research that has made him one of the most controversial voices in the study of consciousness, DMT, and simulation theory. After thousands of reported DMT experiences, Danny argues that recurring geometric symbols and “code-like” structures may point toward a deeper computational reality - and explains why he believes these observations deserve serious scientific investigation.

Matt and Danny discuss simulation theory, consciousness, psychedelics, information physics, UFOs, artificial intelligence, and the challenges of studying extraordinary experiences through the scientific method.

Whether you agree with Danny’s conclusions or remain skeptical, this conversation examines one of the biggest questions imaginable:

Description:
What if AI doesn't need to hate humanity to destroy it?

One of the biggest misconceptions about artificial intelligence is that the danger comes from a malicious machine. According to AI safety researcher Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, the real risk is something far more unsettling: an AI that is simply pursuing its objective with extreme competence.

In this clip, Roman explains why advanced AI systems may become impossible to control, why good intentions aren't enough to guarantee safety, and the question every AI company should be forced to answer before building more powerful models.

→ Why superintelligent AI doesn't need bad intentions to be dangerous
→ The "alignment problem" explained simply
→ Why controlling AI may be harder than controlling nuclear weapons
→ What happens when an intelligence becomes smarter than its creators
