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 favor of partnership with China, and the hapless doubling-down of Europe to 'absorb' Ukraine (and...

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 regions to Russia', and both 'free of NATO weapons & troops' and 'armed & garrisoned by NATO...

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 of it, are prospering and getting on with living life. In the meantime, of course, Putin flew to...

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 MB

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, rooted in decades of inquiry sparked by his son's question about UFOs, posits that humanity is at...

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 Murdoch's Wall Street Journal in particular) keep on dredging up decades-old photos and other...

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 leaders and influential people when it comes to speaking out about the genocide in Gaza, the...

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 Jews with strong ties to Israel, serves to reinforce the growing perception that US politics...

Everybody knows it's a 'war for Israel', but is it so simple as the mighty US being so thoroughly blackmailed and bribed into another costly, bloody war? This week on NewsReal, we lay out the 'positive motivation' for the US: its strategic goal of thwarting Eurasian transport and trade integration between Chinese economic power, Russian military power and Iranian energy power. And yes, Israel expects to dominate the Middle East as a result, so ITS 'positive motivation' is to ensure the US...

The wave function of Trump's endless 'dancing' ("maybe tomorrow, maybe in two weeks!") about whether or not the US military would directly strike Iran's nuclear sites has collapsed. But was yesterday's "obliteration of Iran's nuclear program" really "a spectacular success"? Is this the opening act in direct war between the US and Iran? In the meantime, Iran continues sending wave after wave of missiles into Israel... This week on NewsReal, we look behind the bloviating propaganda and the...

Israel's brazen attack against Iran on June 13th could result in the culmination of the NeoCons' plan for the 'New American Century': the toppling of the last regime resisting them in the Middle East. The US and Israel would thus fully control the world's primary 'energy spigot' and cement their joint role as global hegemon(s) for decades to come. Israel intends for this 'short war' to last a couple of weeks, after which Iran will be ruled by a new government with a new ideology, having...

Russia's retaliating. Elon's exploding. Trump's not backing down. And, somehow, a Tu-95 bomber, ICE riots, and Epstein's name are all in the same episode. We're breaking it all down: the Musk-Trump feud, the Ukraine death-count no one wants to talk about, and what the hell is going on in California. Running Time: 01:39:43 Download: MP3 — 91.3 MB

In this episode of Mind Matters, Marcell Foti shares his groundbreaking Natron Theory, challenging conventional explanations for the construction of ancient megalithic structures. Foti, an IT professional turned independent researcher, proposes that ancient civilizations used a chemical process involving natron — a carbonate mineral used in ancient Egypt for mummification and as a detergent — to etch and dissolve granite into a moldable "waterglass" slurry, which could then be cast into...

"Free Palestine!" is "the new 'heil Hitler'!" says Israeli PM Netanyahu following the double-murder of Israeli embassy staff in Washington DC last week - a sickening development that fortuitously eased growing international pressure on the Israeli regime to stop starving the Palestinians in Gaza to death. Just how much pressure will Western leaders actually bring to bear on Israel though? Why don't they do more to restrain the Jewish State? Like, stop gifting it weapons and ammunition? And...

Matt Hurley is the creator of badaliens.info, a website dedicated to exploring the darker aspects of the UFO phenomenon. In this episode of MindMatters, Hurley shares his journey into UFO research, sparked by reading Above Top Secret as a teenager, and his subsequent disillusionment with contradictory and overly optimistic narratives in ufology. With a focus on physical evidence over speculative theories, Hurley discusses disturbing topics like abductions, animal and human mutilations, and...

Trump's recent grand tour of the richest petro-states of the Middle East saw him feted as an emperor, make "trillion$ for America" in "yuge deals," and meet the "young, attractive," head-choppy leaders of the Arabian peninsula and "the new, free Syria." Speaking about the "dawn of a bright new day" for the region, the farce of Trump staging what amounted to a MAGA rally in the ostensibly ultra-conservative Saudi kingdom - complete with the YMCA soundtrack - was completed by Israelis...

Today MindMatters welcomes back John Carter to talk Cixin Liu's Three-Body Problem, science fiction in general, and to compare NHI theories. Do UAP represent extraterrestrials putting on a show to appear more advanced than actually are? Or super-advanced ultraterrestrials who may have their own weaknesses? What is the possible connection between tech and psi? And would humanity actually unite in the case of an ET threat, as Ronald Reagan so endearingly believed? Running Time: 01:56:57...

Rumors are swirling this week that Trump and Netanyahu 'aren't friends anymore', and that the breakdown in their relationship portends divergence in US-Israeli policy in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Trump has suddenly declared an end to the US military bombing of Yemen, just as yet another US fighter jet 'falls off' the USS Truman. And US and Iranian officials are again meeting in Oman to 'further discuss a (new) nuclear deal'. The 'wee war' between India and Pakistan appears have ended, for...

Trump's joke about being made the next pope hasn't gone down too well with Catholics, but it's his big policy ideas that are really falling flat - especially his 'Liberation Day' tariffs and his 'peace pressure' against Putin to end Russia's war in Ukraine. His Ukraine 'minerals deal' essentially rehashes the NeoCons' 'Iraq reconstruction deal' that did NOT rebuild that country and instead enriched American contractors, while his failure to 'annihilate' the Houthis' military capability...
