The zionists are losing BIG TIME. And one of the battles going completely wrong is unfolding in idilic little Switzerland. Today I'm talking to Ali Abunimah, founder of The Electronic Intifada, and Amira Berzi to discuss Ali’s 2025 arrest and deportation from Switzerland.

Oh boy oh boy. Larry C. Johnson joins me today for an update on Iran, the oil cri...

The Ukraine Proxy-War is not a Proxy-War anymore. The continuous drone strikes into Russia are changing everything. Ordinary Russian citizens are demanding a more forceful reply and the pressure on V. Putin is growing to escalate the war into NATO territory after they escalated it into Russia.

The global economy is about to tank really, really bad. The US surrender to Iran foreshadows a much larger pain yet to come, especially for the Collective West.

Luckily, some brave researchers dare going into the deep. Dr. Aaron Good, author of American Exception: Empire and the Deep State, joins me today to challenge simplistic view of the US system. He argues...

Barely able to supply its troops in the region or keeping them out of harms way, the US has struck again sites in Iran and Israel has been escalating the war against Lebanon. How long will Iran still accept the salami-slicing away of the ceasefire? At the same time, the US media claims 70 ships had been "escorted" secretly through the Strait of Hormuz. Is there any reason to believe this...

Some who didn't. But people who share the disillusionment about the violence America carries into all corners of the world, much as it once carried millions of unwilling subjects to its shores in chains....
