the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

The Jimmy Dore Show   Trump administration resignee and whistleblower Joe Kent recently appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show to provide a devastating explanation of the government's psychological warfare strategy: withhold obvious information (like Butler shooting surveillance tapes), let the internet go "feral" with speculation, then discredit everyone asking questions as "crazy conspiracy theorists"—effectively burying legitimate inquiries. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger connect this to the Charlie Kirk investigation being blocked, the Butler shooting cover-up, and Trump's refusal to investigate his own assassination attempt, concluding Trump was "in on it" because anyone who truly wanted answers would demand them. Dore notes the irony that the "craziest conspiracy theory" is now the official lone-nut narrative, which defies physics and common sense, while those pointing out obvious evidence suppression are smeared as insa...

Forget the Missiles. Iran Just Fired the Shot That Could Actually Break the West   European Business Magazine Part 2 - The Architecture of American Financial Power To understand why the yuan condition matters, it is necessary to understand what the petrodollar system actually is. Born from the Nixon shock of 1971 and formalised in 1974, the arrangement under which Saudi Arabia and the broader Gulf agreed to denominate all oil sales in US dollars created a self-reinforcing loop that has governed global finance ever since. Because oil — the world’s most traded commodity — must be purchased in dollars, every nation that imports energy must first acquire dollars. Every central bank holds dollar reserves for precisely this reason. The dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency is not an abstract achievement; it flows directly and mechanically from oil. Iran’s proposal would extend the yuan exception to the world’s single most critical maritime chokepoint. Source, links: htt...

Owen Jones   US hegemony already falling apart, but this really is a particular turning point which we'll be discussing for generations to come. 

The Electronic Intifada   Ali Abunimah, executive director, provides his analysis of what comes next after Israel bombed Iran's South Pars gas field, one of the world's largest, marking a serious escalation, as well as Iran's response.  

The Jimmy Dore Show   Israel has assassinated Ali Larijani, Iran's top national security official and key diplomatic bridge, a move deliberately designed to prevent Trump from finding an off-ramp to end the war, according to many analysts. The Grayzone ’s Max Blumenthal explains that Larijani—a philosopher and dealmaker respected even by Westerners—was killed by Israel specifically because he was the figure Trump could have negotiated with to de-escalate, and Israel's greatest fear is the U.S. ending this war before Iran is destroyed. Dore and Blumenthal contrast Iran's leaders, who frame everything through international law and diplomacy, with Israeli and U.S. officials like Lindsey Graham and Netanyahu who openly speak in terms of religious warfare and biblical prophecy. The segment concludes that Trump now commands a thinner but more cult-like base while being controlled by pro-Israel billionaires, making him more dangerous than any conventional neocon. 

Breaking Points   Krystal and Saagar are joined by Yanis Varoufakis to discuss the Iran war. 

The Jimmy Dore Show   In covering the Iran War The New York Times has demonstrated a blatant double standard, for example by definitively reporting "nine killed in Israeli city" from Iranian missiles while casting doubt on the veracity of Iranian reports of the 180 schoolgirls killed by U.S. strikes while never naming the perpetrator. Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi explains to Jimmy Dore that this media bias directly aids the genocide, with Western journalists knowingly using terms like "Hezbollah stronghold" to justify bombing residential neighborhoods, just as they whitewashed Gaza's destruction. He connects this to Netanyahu's invocation of "Amalek"—a biblical commandment to annihilate entire populations, including women, children, and animals—which Israeli leaders explicitly used from day one to justify genocide. The segment concludes that mainstream media journalists have "blood on their hands" equal to the pilots dropping bombs, ...

Why doesn't the media talk about Cuba? The U.S is starving millions of people in Cuba. The U.S is laying siege cruelly cut off all fuel and humanitarian aid from entering. Power is out. Food is rotting. Water pumps stopped working. This’s a criminal act of collective punishment. pic.twitter.com/F6YXMIcBk1 — Mohamad Safa (@mhdksafa) March 17, 2026  

Owen Jones   We are a bunch of fools. We started a war we can't win.
