The United States is truly 'off the leash' now. Those who were 'sleeping' before Trump came along and rudely shook them awake are horrified to discover that the US government is an aggressive, imperialistic machine that wants control over vast resources and is prepared to do whatever it takes to reach satiation. The abduction of Nicholas Maduro and Trump's brazen claim to 'now run' the country of...

Can the US just do that? Yes, apparently, it can! It's regime change, but not quite as we know it. With the democratically-elected leader of Venezuela taken to the USA 'to answer for his crimes', Trump has dropped all pretense and admitted that he wants the US to 'run Venezuela' because he wants American oil companies to return in a big way and supplant all Iranian, Russian and Chinese interests t...

The annual Turning Point USA 'America Fest' took place this week, complete with big name appearances from Right-wing pundits, pastors and politicians, celebrity cameos and gaudy spectacle. To the organization's credit, however, it honored Charlie Kirk's legacy by including Tucker Carlson on the roster - the very thing the organization's founder was pressured by "Jewish donors" to "cancel" during t...

An Iranian/Venezuelan "shadow fleet" oil tanker seized by the US military somewhere off the coast of Venezuela. Five oil tankers, "part of the Russian shadow fleet," blown up, sunk, or badly damaged in the Black Sea and off the west African coast. "Ukraine" claims 3 of the latter, but who's behind the other two attacks? And is it mere coincidence that the US government has resorted to 'piracy' at...

"A pretty big turnaround," the Russian government called it. "Aligned with Russia," is how Atlanticist media is describing it. The updated US National Security Strategy is, on paper, something of a 'clean break' with the the United States' past . No longer seeking 'full-spectrum dominance' and stressing the impossibility of being 'policeman for the entire world', the US outlook on global affairs c...

If it's not really about the drugs, and if it's not really the socialism that bothers him, why is Trump preparing to launch yet another American regime change war against Venezuela? The recent election of 'democratic socialist' Zohran Mamdani as New York City mayor is nowhere near as 'shocking' as right-wing influencers would like you to believe, and Trump demonstrated that by inviting him to the...

Trump's 28-point peace plan for Ukraine was announced last week. The Euros say it's "capitulation to Russia," Kiev says it's under pressure from the White House to accept it, "or else," and the Russians say they'll "consider it." Though more realistic than anything proffered by Western leaders thus far, it will likely fail because entrenched money interests want to keep the war going. Back in the...

They say dead men tell no tales. Not true in this case. Epstein continues looming large over Trump's second term, with The Epstein Files™ - and specifically the demand to publish them, combined with the efforts to selectively 'massage' and 'tailor' them - practically dictating the schedule and tempo of US domestic politics. Left and Right have come together to force their release, squeezing Trump...

In a development that should surprise no one, a Blaze investigation has discovered the (probable) identity of the person placing the pipe-bombs around the US Capitol building on the eve of the January 6th "insurrection" - a female United States Capitol Police officer (who subsequently joined the CIA). The mainstream media will ignore this, as will the Feds will, but at least we're clear on one thi...

His surprise appearance on Tucker Carlson's show is something of a 'marker event' in the meteoric rise of polemic right-wing commentator Nicholas Fuentes to American political prominence. In the end it was a civil conversation fleshing out background to his controversial takes, and general agreement on what's been taking place in the US recently: growing, significant public backlash against Israel...

From "500% tariffs against China" and "Tomahawks for Ukraine" to "a comprehensive trade deal" and "imminent peace with Russia," a day is a long time in Trumpian politics. Besides driving us all mad with endlessly contradictory Truth Social posts, can we figure out what the American president really wants to achieve on the world stage? In the end it boils down to maximizing economic advantage for A...

Or so he'd like you to believe. Trump's bullsh*t reached unprecedented heights last week with his theatrical 'Mid-East Peace Deal' in Egypt, which was really just a declaration of intent signed by the leaders of parties other than Israel and Hamas, and in which they expressed their desire to see the conflict ended. That's it. Hamas has released all remaining Israeli hostages, while Israel has rele...

Here we go again. 2 years on from "Israel's 9/11," public and international pressure has once again brought pressure to bear on an immediate settlement of Israel's 'war against Hamas'. Netanyahu, on his 4th visit to Washington DC this year, has sort-of agreed to Trump's peace plan, which would see all remaining Israeli hostages released by Hamas, the IDF withdraw from what remains of Gaza's cities...

It's gotta be the mic he was wearing on his shirt. This week we examine new, clearer footage of Charlie Kirk the moment he was assassinated at Utah Valley University on September 10th. His 'billowing t-shirt', the 'lack of an exit wound', and the unusual characteristics found in the gunfire sound's 'crack-bang' acoustics are all accounted for by something that's been right under our noses the whol...

Behold, a miracle! Charlie Kirk, they say, presented no exit wound because the large, high-velocity round that pierced his neck on 9/10 was 'absorbed by his supernatural body', thereby protecting others behind the great man from being killed, Kirk's last selfless act as an all-American Judeo-Christian. As the 'investigation' into Kirk's assassination continues, mostly taking place among a few mill...

The brutal public assassination of American political activist and Trump ally Charlie Kirk has sparked intense anger in the US, 'activating' many Americans to double-down on their commitment to "taking back this country from... THEM!" It's too early to say for sure whether Kirk's assassin worked alone or was a 'patsy', but, either way, the mass emotional charge that's been unleashed will absolutel...

Still salty from the sight of the leaders of China, India and Russia "conspiring" against him at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin last week, Trump has launched a 'rebranding' of the US Department of Defense to its pre-WW2 name: the Department of War! A bad omen? A more honest name? It certainly heralds the end of an era. On this week's show, we discuss Americans' difficultie...

What did Trump think was going to happen, slapping 50% sanctions tariffs on India?! Then again, power is draining away from US dollar hegemony anyway, so Trump is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. This week on NewsReal, we discuss the China-India rapprochement that undercuts US plans to 'contain China' by courting India, the 'secondary sanctions against Russian oil' that India ignored in fa...

The upshot of the two big recent summits on the Ukraine War/SMO - the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska followed by the euro-lapdogs scurrying to Washington to yap loudly to 'daddy Trump' - is that Russia and Ukraine's positions remain, to surface appearances, impossible to reconcile. You cannot have a 'lasting' peace settlement where Ukraine is both 'intact within its 1991 borders' and 'cedes 5 regio...

Niall returns to NewsReal to share some impressions he gleaned of life in Russia, where he recently spent time in Moscow and St Petersburg. Some of what Western media tells you about Russia is accurate, much of what it tells you misses nuances, and most of what it tells you is pure fiction. The short of it is: Russia is booming, and Russians, generally unaffected by the war, and mostly supportive...

As the Israeli government continues to gaslight, shame and blackmail the entire world into ignoring its genocide against the people of Gaza, more and more ordinary people are standing up to the Zionist monster, and governments are being forced to take note (except Trump). This week we'll be explaining what's REALLY going on in the Middle East, and beyond. Running Time: 01:53:59 Download: MP3 — 104...

In this episode of Mind Matters, Harrison engages with Danielle Silverman, a collaborator of the late Nigel Kerner, author of Gray Aliens and Artificial Intelligence. They discuss Kerner's philosophical and metaphysical perspectives on UFOs, suggesting gray aliens are synthetic, non-sentient beings seeking to harvest human souls — a unique connection to a perfect, eternal state. Kerner's work, roo...

Trump tried to make the Epstein Saga go away by first pretending that no such 'Epstein Files' exist, then by saying they were all 'a Democrat hoax anyway'. You'd think, therefore, that the mainstream media - given the culpability of its corporate owners in this American upper class scandal - would have breathed a sigh of relief and obliged him by shutting up about it. But no. Instead, they (Rupert...

Fallout from Trump's shock announcement that 'Epstein had no clients' continues, with the clamor for truth and justice from within his supporter base only growing. This week on NewsReal, we look at the meteoric and mythic rise of this ultra-wealthy 'money-manager', his obvious importance to Israeli interests, and note the impact mention of his very name is having on quelling dissent among Western...

The Trump admin's memo last week stating conclusively that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list that could implicate VIPs, and that he did take his own life, has been roundly condemned as a cover-up and prompted many to speculate that Trump himself could be implicated. The additional dimension to this scandal, that Epstein and his chief accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell are...
