China will now back it's currency with gold and use a tokenized system to allow 24/7 instant overseas transactions. The US dollar is in real trouble long term. As BRICS nations expand and more countries reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar, many investors are asking what these global shifts could mean for their retirement savings.

@thejimmydoreshow      

by system failure     It is widely reported by various analysts that Trump's catastrophic decision to start a war with Iran, came as a result of the pressure from Netanyahu regime and the Zionist lobby in US. While we can't ignore the strong influence of the Zionist factor on Trump and its significant role on dragging him into such a catastrophe, this was probably not the primary reason for the latest US-Iran war.  One has to look first at Venezuela and the unprecedented and rather bizarre operation there to remove Nicolas Maduro from power, in order to understand the deeper reasoning behind such a risky decision by Trump against Iran. The uniqueness of the operation in Venezuela by the US imperialist beast, has to do not only with the blatant violation of international law with almost zero pretexts, but also with the fact that the rest of the Maduro administration was left untouched and permitted to remain in power. This shows that the primary goal of this operation was ...

The Jimmy Dore Show   Jimmy Dore and his live panel show guests react to a video of a reporter asking members of Congress whether they care more about the American people or Israel, repeatedly getting stonewalling or obfuscation from the lawmakers who appeared unwilling to give a direct answer. The discussion focuses on the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups in U.S. politics, with the panel claiming that organizations such as AIPAC exert significant pressure on elected officials through campaign spending and primary challenges.    Dore highlights the one lawmaker who plainly answered, "American people," while mocking others who responded that the interests of the United States and Israel are inseparable, including one who said, "They're equal. We are tied together as one." The segment ultimately argues that there is a growing disconnect between the many Americans who are increasingly questioning U.S.-Israel policy and members of Congress who bend over backw...

Owen Jones    

Cyrus Janssen  Professor Vali Nasr is one of the world’s leading experts on Iran, the Middle East, and U.S. foreign policy. In this exclusive interview, Nasr explains why the recent conflict may have strengthened Iran rather than weakened it, what Washington continues to misunderstand about Tehran, and whether the region has entered a new geopolitical era. They discuss Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the country’s relationship with China, America’s changing position in the world, and why 2026 could become a turning point for the Middle East.   

The Jimmy Dore Show   Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald argue that President Trump is engaging in a stark retreat from earlier hardline positions on Iran by signaling acceptance of both Iranian uranium enrichment for civilian energy purposes and allowing Iran to possess conventional ballistic missiles. The two contend that these comments amount to major concessions, with Jimmy describing them as “another big win for Iran” and evidence that the administration has abandoned key objectives it previously promoted. Greenwald cites the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, arguing that Iran has the same right as other signatory nations to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes and notes that previous agreements imposed unusually strict inspections on Iran’s program. The segment emphasizes Trump’s remarks that “it’s a little bit unfair for them not to have some” ballistic missiles and that restrictions on civilian nuclear energy require “a little common sense.”

The Jimmy Dore Show   It’s no secret that the Zionist, neocon wing of the Republican Party is unhappy about a proposed peace deal with Iran. In this segment, Jimmy Dore argues that opposition from pro-Israel commentators like Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin and Marc Thiessen could derail a potential U.S.-Iran agreement, particularly if Israel disregards calls to end military actions in Lebanon. Dore contends that economic pressures, including concerns about oil prices and inflation, are forcing the Trump administration to accept diplomacy with Iran rather than continued escalation but that disagreements over Lebanon, Hezbollah, sanctions relief, and the broader Middle East conflict could threaten the durability of any future agreement.

The hosts discuss claims that some African teams and officials have faced unusually strict border scrutiny, while also criticizing transportation price increases and expensive tickets that they argue are pricing out ordinary supporters.  The segment accuses FIFA and government authorities of prioritizing profits and politics over the fan experience, drawing comparisons to past controversies involving international sporting events. The discussion concludes by portraying the tournament as an example of broader corruption, corporate influence, and geopolitical tensions impacting global sports.

The Jimmy Dore Show   Jimmy Dore reacts to remarks made at events hosted by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), noting that the speakers openly discussed how they influence AI systems, social media platforms, and online information ecosystems. Dore interprets comments about AI alignment, content moderation, and engagement with technology companies as evidence of efforts to shape public narratives and manage how information about Israel, antisemitism, and Jewish issues is presented online.    The discussion focuses on concerns about large language models, social media algorithms, content moderation policies, and the growing role of AI as a source of information. Throughout the segment, Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger criticize these efforts as attempts to control digital discourse, while also discussing the broader relationship between advocacy organizations, technology companies, and online speech.

Xi Jinping's visit comes after he held a summit with Donald Trump, who wants North Korea to denuclearise. He also met Vladimir Putin, who has been developing a closer relationship with Kim Jong Un. So, how could his visit shape geopolitics in the region?

They argue that statements from pro-Israel advocates about using political donations to influence elections amount to an open admission of political power and influence, while claiming that critics who point this out are often labeled anti-Semitic.  The discussion also examines comments from pro-Israel activist Ronald Lauder calling for a large-scale effort to combat what he describes as anti-Israel misinformation online and in the media. The conversation then broadens into criticism of U.S. foreign policy, lobbying, media narratives, intelligence agencies, and allegations of political manipulation surrounding issues such as Israel, Gaza, and January 6.

The discussion examines the strategic roles of Pakistan, China, and Russia in the region, as well as disputes over the Strait of Hormuz, Israeli military actions, and the prospects for a new Middle East security architecture independent of U.S. influence.

He notes that most Zionist leaders, including Benjamin Netanyahu, are avowed atheists who cynically claim that "God promised them the land" to justify ethnic cleansing, while spitting on religious Jews who practice their faith.   Dore and his guest, Garland Nixon, discuss the proposition that Zionism cannot survive without antisemitism, which is why its adherents deliberately provoke hatred against Jews worldwide to justify the need for a Jewish supremacist state.

Videos filmed by journalists Omar Al-Gedi and Mahmoud Shaweesh capture residents pulling casualties from the rubble, children covered in blood being rushed into ambulances, and crowds screaming in panic as flames and smoke filled the area. Israel continues to carry out daily strikes on homes and residential neighborhoods across Gaza and Lebanon despite ongoing U.S.-backed ceasefire agreements, while mediating parties in the Gaza talks — the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey — remain largely silent about blatant ceasefire violations.
