Designed for tasks ranging from everyday assistance to professional work, these machines highlight the growing potential of advanced humanoid technology.

GD—This video features an interview between Prof. Glenn Diesen and economist Martin Armstrong, who discusses his views on current global economic and geopolitical crises.

Key takeaways from the discussion:

Geopolitical Tensions: Armstrong characterizes the current state of global affairs as involving ‘rogue’ heads of state and multiple, independent ‘brush fire’ conflicts (e.g., in the Middle East, Ukraine-Russia, Korea, and Taiwan) rather than a single, unified world war (26:11-26:51).
Economic Concerns: Armstrong argues that Western governments face a crisis stemming from unsustainable debt (48:36-48:53) and the weaponization of the financial system, such as removing Russia from SWIFT (44:01-44:14). He highlights that his computer model forecasts a significant turning point around 2032 (49:18-49:21).
European Union (EU) Outlook: Armstrong predicts that the EU will likely break up by roughly 2029 due to mounting stress between member states, exacerbated by a lack of consolidated debt and forced policies from Brussels that do not reflect the interests of individual nations
Additionally, the post This video features a conversation between host Prof. Glenn Diesen and guest David Gibbs, a professor of history at the University of Arizona, discussing how intelligence agencies have historically influenced and “captured” academia and journalism.

DW—This video features a conversation between host Nima Alkhorshid and Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar regarding the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran. The discussion centers on the failure of recent military actions and the return to economic warfare through Operation Economic Outcast.
•••••••••••••
After six months of kinetic conflict, the U.S. is reverting to economic sanctions because the previous military strategy failed to topple the Iranian government. However, Aguilar argues this strategy is unlikely to succeed without the cooperation of China and Saudi Arabia.
The State of War (10:40 – 13:30): Aguilar asserts that the two nations remain in a state of war, despite shifts in intensity. He warns that Iran is prepared for both preemptive strikes and asymmetric warfare.
Intelligence Losses (25:50 – 32:00): The video highlights a report suggesting Iranian drone and missile strikes have caused “unprecedented” damage to U.S. intelligence facilities and surveillance assets, including the loss of advanced drone technology that Iran has potentially reverse-engineered..

NB—In January 2024, on the basis of Israeli claims that twelve UNRWA employees out of 30,000 in Gaza might be Hamas (later revised down to just four), the US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, Italy, Switzerland, Finland, Romania and others stopped funding UNRWA, the main UN agency controlling aid distribution in Gaza. Some later restarted their funding, but not America. An America that would, for another year, be led by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the mythical good guys.

De-legitimatizing the UN aid model in this way, allowing the western media to run with ‘UNWRA is Hamas stories,’ failing to speak up in defence of UNRWA, directly paved the way for Israel’s final solution in Gaza.

Israel’s goal all along was to replace the UN aid system and turn aid distribution into another cog in the machinery of genocide. The killing zones run by the IDF and American mercenaries under the guise of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation are working precisely as intended. A real life Squid Games, mass murder as entertainment, genocide as sport. Exculpatory statements of shock and horror now can never wash away the stains.

IS—By the 1970s, most of these ships were barely shipshape. The GAO said, “In 1975 there were no privately owned break-bulk ships less than 5 years old operating under U.S. flag.” The ships were, on average, 30 years old and barely habitable. As the GAO said,”The Victory ships in NDRF fall far short of habitability facilities provided by modern merchant vessels.” The seaman also had limited motility. In the Vietnam invasion, “shortage of licensed marine engineers and deck officers [was] the principal cause of delayed and short-handed sailings.”

DD—The hosts discuss the ongoing legal battles to block the Paramount merger (0:25-2:30), arguing that such consolidation hurts competition and labor. They highlight actor Mark Ruffalo’s public opposition to the merger (6:59-8:50), noting his criticism of Larry Ellison’s connections to the IDF and Oracle’s role in military technology.
Narrative Control: The video claims that various “anti-woke” or entertainment-focused YouTube channels are being used to manipulate audiences (18:00-24:30). The hosts argue these channels avoid discussing the Ellisons’political and military ties, instead labeling critics of the merger as “woke” or followers of the “current thing” to discredit them (22:00-23:50).
The Case of Mark Ruffalo: The hosts defend Mark Ruffalo against accusations of antisemitism from groups like the ADL and CCFP (15:25-17:25), stating that his criticism is directed at corporate and military actions rather than Jewish people, and that he is being targeted for his outspoken stance on Palestine.
