Who blew up Nord Stream – and why, four years on, there is still no official answer! Documentary filmmaker Moritz Enders on his film "Nord Stream – The Sabotage", the cinemas that quietly dropped it, and the story that was built after the explosion. 

🎬 In this episode On 26 September 2022, three of the four Nord Stream pipes were torn open at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Sweden and Denmark closed their investigations without naming anyone, and a trial in Hamburg now targets a single Ukrainian ex-officer. Moritz Enders, historian and documentary filmmaker (ZDF, arte), traces the history of pipelines as instr...

Language manipulation and media framing shape how we see war, fear, enemies and political “common sense” — often before we realise it. Professor Ruth Wodak explains how political language influences public opinion, normalises conflict and makes certain choices appear inevitable.

🗣️ In this conversation, Ruth Wodak and Thomas Karat examine the power of language in politics, media and everyday communication. They discuss persuasion, rhetoric, emotional triggers and the framing techniques that influence how audiences interpret war, geopolitical conflict and the rise of the far right.

The conversation explores how repeated phrases, metaphors and “us versus them” narratives can narrow the...

"Kill them all." An Israeli Zionist linguist explains how Netanyahu turns words into weapons — and how one biblical name makes genocide sound acceptable.

Dr. Ruvik Rosenthal is one of Israel's most respected authorities on the Hebrew language — a Sokolov Prize–winning journalist, lexicographer, and author of more than 30 books. In this conversation he dissects the machinery of political language from the inside: the euphemisms that sanitize killing, the pronouns that signal who's really in charge, and the framing that quietly redraws the line between "left" and "traitor."

We get into how propaganda works in democracies (not ju...

⚖️ Tony Greenstein faced 14 years in prison on terrorism charges for a single tweet supporting Palestine — and a London jury acquitted him in just over two hours.

In this interview, the 72-year-old anti-Zionist activist walks through the counter-terror raid on his flat, the four-day trial, the judge who tried to shut down his defence, and why he turned the case into a free-speech showdown he was determined to win.

🔍 We cover:
🇬🇧 How the UK Terrorism Act criminalises support for Palestinian resistance
🗣️ Why he refused his barrister's advice and gave his own closing speech
🇪🇺 The wider crackdown on fre...

John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, returns to explain why he believes Trump is the first US president to actually be an economic hitman — and why he calls it The Art of the Steal.

In this conversation, the former economic hitman turned whistleblower argues that Trump isn't a break from the system, but that same system finally operating in plain sight: covert corruption dragged into the open and made shameless. We get into the machinery of debt, leverage and manufactured dependency that captures nations — and what it means now that it's pointed inward, at the...

🔴 Fired by her own university for a book that turned out to be right — political scientist Ulrike Guérot on how dissent became a punishable offence in Germany.

When the University of Bonn publicly distanced itself from one of its own professors ten days after she published a book questioning the official Ukraine narrative, it wasn't an academic dispute. It was a warning shot. Three years and four courtrooms later, Ulrike Guérot is at Germany's Constitutional Court — and her case is no longer about her.

In this conversation we sit with the uncomfortable question underneat...

Can the Deep State colonize your mind — and can psychology free it? Clinical psychologist Benji Schoendorff makes the case, from Oxford to Gaza to a new "liberation psychology." Founder of the Contextual Psychology Institute in Montreal, Schoendorff explains how the identities we inherit from history and society can limit us — and how the work of dismantling them is fundamentally anti-colonial.

Drawing on relational frame theory, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and process-based behavior therapy, he makes the case for a new "liberation psychology" rooted in science. Along the way, he shares his personal journey: becoming an anti-imperialist at a...

Former US Marine Kenneth O'Keefe disarmed Israeli commandos on the Mavi Marmara — now he's warning America is next.

In this frank follow-up interview (our first conversation reached 250,000+ viewers), Kenneth O'Keefe holds nothing back on Iran, Israel, Gaza, Trump, Netanyahu, and the deliberate collapse of the American empire. From being detained under the UK Terrorism Act, to the ballistics reports nobody talks about from the 2010 Freedom Flotilla, to his prophetic warning about Pax Judaica replacing Pax Americana — this is one of the most fearless interviews of 2026.

🔥 What you'll discover in this conversation:

In this explosive conversation, Irish tech founder and Tech For Palestine co-founder Paul Biggar joins me to discuss AI censorship, Israeli influence networks inside Big Tech, shadow banning, algorithmic suppression, NATO’s cognitive warfare doctrine, media ownership, VPN surveillance, Unit 8200, and the battle over who controls truth in the digital age.

⚠️ Are AI systems already politically engineered?
⚠️ Is anti-Zionism being algorithmically suppressed?
⚠️ Are social media platforms quietly throttling dissent?
⚠️ Why are younger generations increasingly rejecting mainstream narratives?
⚠️ And how deeply are intelligence networks embedded inside Western tech companies?

They say Israel has a PR problem. No. They have a genocide problem.

Mohammad Al-Turk reached out from Gaza City and asked for a microphone. We talked for 90 minutes — about October 7th, the journalists Israel has killed for telling the truth, how Gaza was bulldozed neighborhood by neighborhood, the "ceasefire" that hasn't stopped the killing, and why the shift in US public opinion might be the thing that finally changes everything.

He's still there. Still talking. Listen.

FBI Whistle Blower Sibel Edmonds is back — now under arrest warrant in Turkey, banned on X at Erdogan's written request, and receiving death threats. This is the interview that triggered it.

Sibel, who was named the most gagged person in US history by the ACLU — on the Halkbank scandal, the Epstein-linked blackmail of Erdogan, the false flags aimed at NATO Article 5, and why almost no one in Western media will say the word "Turkey."

🌍 Is the Iran ceasefire real — or just a pause before the next escalation?

Political scientist and deep state researcher Aaron Good (PhD, Temple University) joins us for one of the most unflinching conversations you will find anywhere on the current state of American power, the war on Iran, and where this is all heading.

Aaron has spent two decades building a rigorous academic framework for understanding how power actually operates in the United States — beneath the elections, the press conferences and the official narratives. His book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State and his Patreon...

🔥Daughter of a fallen CIA operative speaks out… and what she reveals cuts straight through decades of official narratives. 

Join investigative journalist and bestselling author Charlotte Dennett for a deep, unsettling dive into the hidden architecture of global power—where oil, intelligence agencies, and geopolitical strategy intersect long before the public ever sees the headlines.

This isn’t just history. It’s a blueprint.

From her father’s covert counterintelligence work in the Middle East to declassified documents exposing secret pipeline agendas, Dennett uncovers a pattern: conflicts framed as ideology, security, or democracy—but driven by on...

🔥 A former Pentagon insider warns: this could spiral into nuclear war — and trigger a global collapse.

In this explosive conversation with Lawrence Wilkerson, we go far beyond the headlines. What’s unfolding around Iran isn’t just another conflict—it’s a convergence of military escalation, nuclear brinkmanship, and systemic economic risk.

💣 Wilkerson lays it out bluntly:
The U.S. may be moving forces—but not for a real invasion
Israel could act out of desperation, not strategy
Iran may already be closer to nuclear capability than publicly admitted
And the result? A chain re...

🎙️ What happens when someone raised inside a system begins to question it—completely?

In this conversation, Daniel Klain, a former IDF tank commander raised in a religious Zionist family in the West Bank, walks through a process most people never go through: not just doubting—but breaking away.

🧠 This is not a surface-level political discussion.It’s an inside account of how belief systems are formed, reinforced, and—under pressure—can begin to fracture.

We explore:
⚙️ How ideological systems sustain themselves through identity and environment
🧩 The psychology of indoctrination and cognitive dissonance

🌍 Global tensions are rising — but what’s actually happening behind the headlines?This video breaks down the rapidly escalating conflict between the United States and Iran — from military buildup to economic shockwaves — and what it means for YOU.

⚔️ WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?In recent weeks, tensions have surged with:
Increased U.S. military deployments in the Gulf
Iranian threats to retaliate and disrupt key trade routes
Rising fears of a broader regional conflict

Key flashpoints include:
📍 Al Udeid Air Base
📍 Prince Sultan Air Base
📍 Strait of Hormuz

🚨 Pete Hegseth stood at a Pentagon podium during an active war and suggested better headlines to journalists. The next day, the FCC threatened broadcast licenses. By Sunday Trump called the networks "Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic."

Most people called it authoritarian. That's accurate — but it misses the mechanism.

🧠 This video connects the FCC threats to a classified White House memorandum, a NATO doctrine designating the human mind as a sixth domain of warfare, and an EU security framework that classifies legal speech as a threat.

Trump and Brussels are enemies on almost everything. What they sha...

Sibel Edmonds is the most classified person in the history of the United States. Former FBI linguist and whistleblower, she was gagged three times — by the Justice Department, the State Department, and the FBI — for what she uncovered about 9/11 and Operation Gladio.

In this conversation, she breaks down:
🔹 Operation Gladio A → B — how NATO's Cold War terror network never ended, it just rebranded. Mujahideen, Al-Qaeda, ISIS — same operation, different name.
🔹 The Secret Erdogan-Trump-Israel Meeting — what was agreed behind closed doors in September 2025, the Halkbank case, and the orders Turkey received.

16 years with the highest intelligence clearance inside NATO — Top Secret. Every document of substance passed across his desk. He was later convicted of high treason and spent 7 years in prison. Western intelligence called him the most dangerous spy in NATO history. He calls himself a man who tried to prevent a nuclear war.

In 1983, Soviet nuclear bombers sat on the tarmac with engines running, waiting for the launch order. The world came within hours of Armageddon — and almost nobody knew. Rainer was in the room.

In this wide-ranging conversation from The Hague, we sit down with a Dutch peace activist, data analyst, and founder involved in the New Peace Movement to discuss one of the most pressing questions of our time:

How are modern wars justified — and who shapes the narrative?

Drawing on his background in data analytics and information systems, the guest explains how propaganda, cognitive bias, and modern media ecosystems influence public perception of global conflicts.

The discussion moves from AI and information control to the wars in Gaza, Ukraine, and Iran, and examines how narratives ar...

🎙️ The US Secretary of State just said the quiet part out loud — on camera, in a Capitol Hill hallway, four days into a war that's already killed six American soldiers.

America didn't go to war because Iran threatened the United States. It went to war because Israel was going to strike Iran — and American troops were going to be caught in the retaliation. So Washington struck first. That's not analysis. That's Marco Rubio's own explanation.
Then, 24 hours later, Trump publicly contradicted him. With Rubio sitting right there.

🎯 Everyone's watching the missiles. Nobody's watching the water.

Washington launched Operation Epic Fury expecting a 4-5 day campaign. Three days in: 6 American soldiers dead, Dubai airport hit, Qatar's flights grounded, and Iran still hasn't touched its most devastating leverage.

This video isn't about who's right or wrong. It's about a specific, identifiable strategic error — and the behavioral, economic, and demographic time bombs that were never war-gamed before the first strike was ordered.

🧠 What you'll learn:

In this interview, political scientist Arthur Kachikian delivers a stark warning:liberal democracy, deterrence, arms control, and international law are breaking down — and history shows exactly what comes next.

🚨 This war didn’t begin because talks failed — it began because they were about to work.

In this urgent interview, I speak with Yassamine Mather (Oxford scholar, long-time critic of both the Islamic Republic and Western interventionism) about what this escalation really means — beyond official narratives and media talking points.

This conversation cuts through the illusion of “precision strikes,” “regime change,” and “limited war.” We discuss why bombing Iran will not liberate its people, how diplomacy was once again sabotaged at the last moment, and why the region is now entering an unpredictable and extremely dangerous phase.
...

What happens when history is used as a shield instead of a warning?
🌍 And what gets erased when the world’s attention shifts elsewhere?

As war dominates headlines in Ukraine and tensions escalate with Iran, something else quietly slips out of focus:Gaza. The West Bank. Ongoing occupation, displacement, and mass violence.
This conversation refuses that drift.

🧠 What happens when state power no longer needs courts?

In this wide-ranging conversation, I speak with Dr. Alexandra Hofer, Assistant Professor of Public International Law, about the quiet transformation of power in Europe — and why sanctions, digital infrastructure, and executive authority are beginning to converge in ways that should concern anyone who values due process and free expression.

We start with EU sanctions — not against states, but against individuals. Journalists. Academics. Commentators. What does it mean when financial access can be frozen, travel restricted, and digital life disrupted without a trial?

⚖️ Dr. Hofer describes m...

Arab diplomats almost never get to explain the Middle East in their own words.This interview breaks that pattern.

In this conversation, I speak with Mohammed Elsoukkary, former Egyptian diplomat and deputy ambassador, about how Egypt actually sees the region it operates in — Israel, Gaza, Iran, and the United States — stripped of Western framing and moral theater.

Rather than slogans about “peace” or “escalation,” we talk constraints: why the Egypt–Israel peace treaty still functions as a strategic necessity, why normalization with Israel carries real domestic risks across the Arab world, and why Gaza represents a non-negotiab...

What happens when a veteran from the Associated Press and a behavior analyst sit down—not to agree, but to think out loud?

In this wide-ranging conversation, Dan Perry, former AP chief for Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean, joins Thomas S. Karat for an unscripted, sometimes uncomfortable, but deliberately honest exchange about where the world finds itself now—not where it was supposed to be.

This is not a checklist interview. It’s a collision of perspectives.
Starting from the shockwaves of Trump’s return to power and the strangely insulated atmosphe...

What does it look like when a war is being pre-sold—not with one big lie, but with hundreds of small linguistic nudges?

In this live conversation, we walk you through a headline-level pattern based on ~230+ articles across multiple countries: Iran is framed as the actor (“threatens,” “refuses,” “days are numbered”), while the U.S. build-up is framed as reaction (“prepares,” “weighs options,” “responds”). 

If most people only skim headlines, the headline becomes the policy environment.

From there, the discussion widens into something darker: the idea that “information space management” isn’t a metaphor anymore—especially with...

We’re entering a new dark age — and the signs are everywhere.Not just in foreign policy, where international law is treated like a PR costume… but at home, where speech is increasingly policed, dissent is stigmatized, and criticism is quietly rebranded as “hate.”

In this interview, former U.S. diplomat Chas Freeman argues we’re watching an epochal shift: the end of the post-war promise that conflict would be restrained by rules, institutions, and law. Instead, power is reverting to something older and uglier — coercion, intimidation, and what Freeman calls a kind of “gangster logic.”

And here’s the...

🇮🇷 Iran is spiraling out of control again — and the West is already circling.
In this interview, I’m joined by Yassamine Mather — an Oxford scholar and razor-sharp political analyst — to break down the new wave of unrest across Iran, what’s driving it, and why Trump may be preparing the ground for “absolute change” in 2026. 

We don’t just talk about protests. We talk about power, propaganda, and the uncomfortable possibility that some actors are trying to engineer the outcome — using everything from sanctions and currency warfare to fake reels amplified by mainstream media.

“How Western Media Sells War” is a deep-dive conversation with journalist and broadcaster Patrick Henningsen, founder of 21st Century Wire, on how conflict is packaged, branded, and sold to the public through news and entertainment.

We look at:
*   How language, imagery, and repetition turn military campaigns into “humanitarian interventions” or “defensive actions”.
*   The role of think tanks, PR firms, and political elites in feeding ready‑made narratives into Western newsrooms.
*   Why dissenting voices are marginalised, smeared, or algorithmically buried when war agendas are on the table.

🔥 History is never just about the past — it’s a battlefield for the present. In this interview, we explore how elites rewrite historical narratives to manufacture legitimacy, shape public memory, and consolidate political power. From the self-mythology of Ramesses II to the propaganda logic captured by George Orwell’s warning — “Who controls the past controls the future” — we examine how history becomes a strategic instrument rather than a neutral record.

We also look at the work of Guido Preparata, whose investigations into the First and Second World Wars challenge the “official story” and expose how finance, strategy, and elite interests w...

“Never Again” is repeated every year. Rarely is it tested.

In this interview, I speak with Mark Etkind, the son of a Holocaust survivor who endured the Łódź Ghetto and multiple concentration camps, including Buchenwald. Mark is also a leading voice among Holocaust survivors’ descendants who have spoken out against the destruction of Gaza — a position that has made him deeply controversial within parts of the Jewish community and the political mainstream.

Mark challenges the idea that Holocaust remembrance can be safely sealed off from the present. He argues that memory without consequence becomes ritual, and ritual...

🔥 Oxford Academic and Iranian Scholar Yassamine Mather takes us deep into the political, historical, and personal terrain behind today’s Iran. And she does it with a clarity and honesty that’s almost disarming. T:his was one of the most surprising and revealing conversations I’ve recorded this year.

At one point she casually mentions volunteering for a covert mission in Iran—setting up an underground, anti-government radio station for the fedayeen in the mountains between Tehran and Kurdistan. She tells it as if it were nothing. It’s not nothing. It’s the kind of story that stop...

What happens when a superpower writes a national security strategy that sounds less like policy and more like a blueprint for running the world?

In this video, I break down the 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy — the tone, the psychology, the imperial reflexes hidden in plain sight — and why Europe, Asia, and the entire international system should be paying close attention.

🇺🇸 We look at how the document:
Talks at the world rather than to it
Uses the word “want” 47 times, 
Revives the Monroe Doctrine as the “Trump Corollary”
Frames Europe as pliable, frightened...

A Jewish anti-Zionist Holocaust survivor speaks out — and she does so with a clarity and moral weight that few living voices can match.In this rare, unscripted interview, Dr. Agnes Kory reflects on her childhood during the Holocaust and draws unsettling, deeply personal parallels to what she describes as the genocide unfolding in Gaza today. This conversation is not academic. It’s lived experience confronting present violence.

Agnes talks about the moment she began questioning the narratives she grew up with, how she ultimately changed her mind about Israel late in life, and the heavy price she paid...

If you think propaganda is something you would notice, this interview will change your mind.

Today we dismantle the quiet machinery of political language—how governments, media, and corporations weaponise words to steer perception, manufacture consent, and make entire populations believe they arrived at someone else’s conclusions all on their own.

We uncover why the most effective propaganda is the kind that hides inside “common sense,” how framing shapes what societies accept as reality, and why linguistic manipulation has replaced brute force as the preferred tool of modern power.
