	And welcome folks.
	This is Truth vs. News Incorporated.
	All the news and garbage you hear on the TV screen and everywhere else.
	And today's service, semi-special day.
	It's the day before Veterans Day.
	And November 11th, this is Monday the 10th, 2025.
	And I think Veterans Day ought to be renamed the Jim Betzer Admiration Day.
	He's a veteran extraordinary and author.
	And he deserves to be highly exalted for all he's done with this show for the last 20 years or so, if nothing else.
	Well, Don, Don, Don, the local high-vey, which is only a mile away, is giving a free breakfast for veterans tomorrow morning.
	So I'll enjoy.
	I'll enjoy it.
	Great.
	And then we have Joachim Hagopian.
	Joachim is all the way from Bali, Indonesia, and he's an American extraordinaire, graduated West Point, was an author.
	And then coming back is Brian Davidson out of Texas, private eye extraordinaire, who is just on top of it all.
	He knows what's really going on and lets us know.
	So I guess we're going to get started overseas in the UK with problems that they are facing.
	You got it right, John.
	You got it right.
	Clearly astonishing.
	King Charles has balked a bill to alter the way Brits vote.
	It's extraordinary what's happened, created chaos politically for the U.S. Do you want to know how to earn money like a pro?
	Driving with Uber allows you to create your own schedule.
	So you can finally forget about 29% to 21%.
	Never sue the other driver after a car accident.
	There's a better way to get paid a way bigger check without having shouting.
	Cabinet ministers are resigning.
	And Westminster insiders say this could trigger the biggest constitutional crisis since 1688.
	Three senior Labour figures have already walked out.
	The pound is plummeting.
	And what Starmer said in response to the exact words that leaked from number 10 just 11 minutes ago could end his premiership before sunrise.
	If you want to understand what's really happening to Britain right now, hit that subscribe button because what comes next will shock you to your core and the mainstream media won't dare tell you the whole truth.
	Here's what sparked this constitutional earthquake.
	Yesterday at 3.47pm, Karma's reform UK electoral systems bill designed to change how Britain votes forever was heading for final approval in Parliament.
	His words were defiant, almost triumphant.
	This legislation represents the will of a modern progressive Britain that refuses to be held hostage by outdated traditions.
	But King Charles wasn't having it.
	At precisely 4.12 p.m., the monarch invoked royal assent refusal.
	He didn't just delay the bill, but he killed it dead.
	In a single stroke, Charles wielded constitutional authority that hasn't been used since 1978 and shattered Starmer's entire political agenda.
	The timing was deliberate, calculated, and absolutely devastating.
	Sources close to the palace revealed that Charles had been monitoring this legislation for weeks, consulting with Privy Council members and constitutional experts who warned him that this bill would fundamentally alter the balance of power in ways that could never be reversed.
	Within minutes of the King's decision, Parliament transformed into a war zone.
	Labour backbench heirs were screaming at Conservative MPs across the chamber.
	Deputy Speaker Dame Ileanena Lang had to suspend proceedings three Teotasms because the shouting became so ferocious that nobody could hear anything over the chaos.
	Witnesses inside the chamber described it as something from a different century, raw primal fury.
	Conservative MP Sir Jacob Reese Moog stood at the dispatch box and declared with barely contained satisfaction, The Crown has reminded this arrogant government that Britain is a constitutional monarchy, not a Labour dictatorship.
	His Majesty has done what millions of Britons have been begging for.
	He stopped this madness.
	The Conservative benches erupted in applause so thunderous it rattled the ancient walls.
	Labour MPs looked shell-shocked, disoriented, betrayed.
	Some were visibly shaking.
	Minister for Constitutional Affairs Nick Thomas Simmons was seen storming out of the chamber, face crimson, fists clenched, refusing to answer questions from anyone.
	But the real drama was happening in the corridors just outside the main chamber where Labour whips were desperately trying to prevent a complete meltdown of party discipline.
	And here's where it gets even more explosive.
	According to multiple sources who were in the room, Karma received the news of the royal refusal while meeting with his senior strategy team in the cabinet room.
	His immediate reaction, described by one witness as volcanic, sent shockwaves through everyone present.
	Starmer allegedly swept a stack of briefing papers off the table, turned to his chief of staff, Sue Gray, and said words that will haunt him forever.
	That senile old man in his castle just destroyed everything we've worked for.
	He thinks he can turn back the clock to when kings actually mattered.
	We'll show him exactly how irrelevant the monarchy has become.
	The room fell into stunned silence.
	Even his most loyal advisors couldn't believe what they'd just heard.
	One cabinet minister present later told allies, I've served under three prime ministers and I've never heard anyone speak about the monarch with such contempt.
	It was chilling.
	Within two hours, that quote had been leaked to three separate newspapers, clearly by someone in that room who wanted the British public to know exactly what kind of man now occupies number 10.
	Meanwhile, British veterans who served in the Folands, Iraq and Afghanistan, men and women who gave everything for this country, are being told there's no money for proper health care or housing support.
	David Harrison, a 71-year-old former paratrooper from Stoke-on-Trent who lost his left leg in Northern Ireland, waited nine months for a wheelchair ramp at his council flat.
	Nine months for basic dignity.
	I fought for this country, he told reporters with tears streaming down his weathered face.
	And now I can't even get into my own home without crawling.
	While veterans like David suffer, Labour has allocated £8.44 billion over three years for migrant integration programmes.
	Luxury hotel accommodations and legal aid for asylum appeals.
	We're talking spa facilities, flat screen televisions and daily meal allowances that exceed what pensioners receive after 50 years of paying taxes.
	Margaret Ellis, a 73-year-old widow from Durham whose husband died serving in the Royal Navy, receives £156.20 per week in state pension.
	That's £22.31 per day.
	Meanwhile, asylum seekers in government contracted hotels receive food, accommodation and services valued at approximately £40 per day, nearly double what Margaret gets after her husband gave his life for Britain.
	She heats only one room in her house during winter because she can't afford the energy bills.
	She eats one proper meal a day.
	And when she wrote to her Labour MP asking for help, she received a form letter about competing budget priorities.
	The contrast is so grotesque, so morally bankrupt, that even traditional Labour voters in working-class strongholds are openly revolting against Darmey's priorities.
	In pubs across the Midlands and the North, conversations that once defended Labour now speak of betrayal, of forgotten promises of a party that abandoned the very people it was created to serve.
	But then something happened that nobody, not the pundits, not the pollsters, not even Buckingham Palace insiders saw coming.
	King Charles broke 70 years of Royal Protocol and addressed the nation directly.
	At 7.30pm last night, broadcasters interrupted regular programming for an unprecedented live statement from Windsor Castle.
	Standing beneath portraits of Queen Elizabeth and King George VI, Charles looked directly into the camera and spoke with a gravity that sent chills through millions of viewers.
	I have today exercised a constitutional authority that I hoped never to use, the King declared.
	His voice steady, but weighted with unmistakable resolve.
	But when legislation threatens the very foundations upon which our democracy rests, when it seeks to fundamentally alter the compact between Crown, Parliament and people without proper mandate, then silence becomes complicity.
	He paused, letting those words settle like stones.
	I will not be complicit in the dismantling of British constitutional tradition.
	Palace insiders reveal that Pearl spent three days consulting constitutional scholars, former prime ministers and senior judges before making his decision.
	One source described the king as agonised but absolutely certain that Starmer's bill represented an existential threat to the balance of power that has kept Britain stable for centuries.
	Former Prime Minister Sir John Major reportedly spent 90 minutes on the phone with Charles walking him through the historical precedents and potential consequences.
	Lord Jonathan Sumption, one of Britain's most respected constitutional authorities, provided a detailed legal memorandum that palace sources describe as devastating in its analysis of the bill's constitutional implications.
	The optics are absolutely devastating for Starr.
	The sovereign himself, the one figure in Britain who transcends politics, has essentially declared Labour's flagship legislation dangerous and illegitimate.
	The domino effect was swift and brutal.
	Within 90 minutes of the King's speech, the pound sterling dropped 3.2% against the dollar, the sharpest single-day decline since Brexit.
	Currency traders in London, New York and Tokyo started dumping British assets, fearing prolonged political instability.
	Financial Times analysts estimated £1.8 billion was wiped from the Fit C 100 in a single trading session.
	By midnight, Labour's internal polling showed catastrophic results, approval ratings down from 39% to 21% in just eight hours.
	In key constituencies across the Midlands and the North, places Labour desperately needs to hold, support collapsed by 19 percentage points.
	Defend the King became the number one trending topic globally with over 4.7 million tweets in 12 hours.
	Protest it's astonishing and perhaps equally remarkable events in our utterly condemn the violence that we've seen overnight in Palomina and in other parts of Northern Ireland.
	114 injuries, 37 hotels burned, over 100,000 protesters on the streets of Northern Ireland.
	For three nights, the Union Jack has glowed in flames instead of light.
	8.42pm, November 5th, 2025.
	Belfast city centre.
	Police sirens bleed through the rain.
	Shop fronts crack.
	Bottles arc across the air.
	What began as a march for answers has turned into Britain's largest civil disturbance in more than a decade.
	The targets are the migrant hotels, symbols in the public mind of a government that built compassion out of contracts.
	Footage shows lines of riot shields outside the High Street Hotel Belfast, once a shelter for 230 asylum seekers, now engulfed in orange heat.
	Local firefighters report 19 separate arsons in 24 hours.
	Derry, Lisburn, Balamina.
	Every name is now a headline.
	You promised security, a man shouts toward the cameras, voice breaking through smoke.
	You gave us silence.
	Across the UK, more than 100,000 people have taken to the streets.
	Belfast, Londonderry, Antrim, even Newcastle in County Down, all chanting the same line.
	Where is Westminster?
	The government has not yet answered.
	Inside the Commons, lights burn late, but words come slowly.
	The Home Secretary calls the violence contained unrest.
	The opposition calls it collapse.
	Prime Minister Kierstama is scheduled to address the nation at dawn, but for millions of Britons watching their screens tonight, dawn feels like an alibi, not a solution.
	On Sky News, anchors read casualty numbers like clock ticks.
	114 injured.
	27 police hospitalised.
	37 hotels damaged.
	£68 million in property losses.
	Economists warn that if the riots spread to mainland ports, logistics routes to Liverpool and Glasgow could cease within 48 hours.
	At 9pm, an encrypted memo leaks from the Home Office.
	Northern Command overstretched.
	Reserve units requested.
	Political approval pending.
	That approval never came.
	At the edge of the crowd, a young nurse named Sophie McAllister holds up her phone, live streaming the chaos.
	This is my street, she says quietly.
	My rent went up 41% this year, and they tell me there's no funding left.
	But there's funding for this.
	Her video racks up 3.2 million views in six hours.
	If you're watching this now, you've seen the footage too.
	What you're seeing isn't just protest.
	It's exhaustion.
	10.27pm.
	The first wave hits the Stormont Parliament grounds.
	Barricades collapse.
	Police deploy tear gas for the first time since 2013.
	Reporters describe the sound as a heartbeat of panic.
	From London, Downing Street releases a three-sentence statement.
	The Prime Minister condemns violence.
	Public safety remains our priority.
	Dialogue must continue.
	But dialogue ended when the first hotel fell.
	Behind closed doors, the intelligence briefings are grim.
	MI5's regional desk lists 52 online channels coordinating real-time crowd movements.
	Encrypted, shifting by the minute.
	Police drones jammed twice.
	Cellular towers burned in Coleraine.
	An internal line from the cabinet office reads, containment, impossible.
	Public mood volatile.
	At 11pm, energy traders flag anomalies.
	Oil depots in Belfast and Lahn report blockade attempts.
	By midnight, fuel distribution across Northern Ireland drops 19%.
	Hospitals switch to backup generators and still Westminster sleeps.
	Across social media, one phrase trends above all, hashtag Britain on fire.
	Within 12 hours, it hit 64 million impressions, eclipsing even the 2024 general election.
	Clips of riot officers kneeling in front of crowds go viral with captions like, We serve the people, not the politicians.
	By dawn, the question is no longer who started the fire, but who benefits from the smoke.
	I think we've got sensational developments across the UK that in response to the mass immigrant invasion and the government's bending over to benefit the immigrants at the expense of the people.
	Joachim, your thoughts.
	Wow.
	Yeah, the shit's hitting the fan because the people are too fed up now to put up with any more bullshit from the government that supports all the foreigner invaders.
	I mean, this sentiment is in all the Western countries that have been flooded with migration wave after migration wave for what?
	I'd say about 15 years straight.
	It's been going on in Europe, particularly in Britain, as well as America and Canada.
	Australia, New Zealand, all the Western countries are, especially the Western European countries, America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
	They've had enough.
	The globalists have had their way.
	They want to basically destroy the native cultures of the West.
	That's the intent.
	They have the clergy plan that's going to make miscegenation the thing where there's no more white people left.
	The Goloyan population is going to be gone because it's going to be a mixed darker shade of pale, as that old song goes.
	And so this is like the tipping point to me.
	It's the tipping point of a fed up world population almost, particularly in the West, that's had enough with the bullshit that the governments are all complete puppets to the money changers, the city of London, Wall Street, all of the big Whigs that are doing it to the people.
	Well, the people are answering now and they've had enough.
	And as far as, you know, I don't agree with King Charles very often.
	I've written extensively about how they're all pedophiles or supportive of pedophilia.
	And in this case, yeah, he's realizing it's, you know, the Starmer and Company, Labor Party, they're stepping out of line.
	It's too crazy.
	And he's trying to put the foot down to quell the bullshit, all the rebellion, the revolt.
	So yeah, we're seeing monumental waves of revolt against this system now.
	And it's going to be spreading.
	France is a boiling point.
	It's going to boil over as well.
	And many other countries, Germany, too.
	And it's going to come to America too.
	Eventually, when people can't afford rent or feeding their families, they're going to be also revolting in the same way.
	It's going to be spreading all over the West.
	So we're going to see the showdown between the people that are so fed up and have had enough abuse to reassert themselves against the governments that are supportive of the globalists that are basically the planetary controllers out to depopulate our planet.
	So yeah, we're seeing the biggest clash of civilizations now that we've ever seen in our life.
	It's just beginning.
	Brian.
	Well, I guess this is what happens when you push a culture and a society of people and citizens as far as they have.
	The uncontrolled migration has caused people to be deeply upset, local citizens to be deeply upset.
	And it looks like it's getting out of control.
	This economic despair that comes directly as a result of the immigration crisis.
	I mean, if you look at what's going on in Belfast, you've got 37 hotels that have been set on fire, and they say there's 100,000 protesters out there.
	You always wonder what agencies or NGO type organizations are driving it.
	I know I saw a lot of pre-printed signage that appeared exactly the same.
	But on the other front, what you've got King Charles, who basically is a monarch with nothing more than symbolic power, who is supposedly the head of the Christian church over there in England, but he's still required to sign Starmer's bill.
	He didn't.
	It appears from these articles that it's the classic pattern of public sentiment turning bad and elites beginning to panic and chew each other to the bone to try to stop the problem.
	It seems to me that this is how empires tend to behave right before they collapse internally.
	I don't necessarily know that we're quite there yet, but as it continues with this unchecked migration that obviously has an agenda of tipping the voter scales as well as providing new citizens to tip the structure of society, as soon as that begins to play out, you've got basically an empire that's fighting for itself.
	So I had always seen Starmer and King Charles on exactly the same page.
	I knew that from the King's speech that he delivered in 2024 that he was going or going to use his power to whatever extent he could to try to solve the immigration issue.
	That was among the major issues that he talked about.
	And it appears that Starmer being the political puppet that he is, just like in America, we have a number of political puppets, including Lindsey Graham and a lot of the others that are out there.
	These political puppets do what they're told and they don't necessarily think about the consequences.
	In other words, they have no need to keep their finger on the pulse of the American citizenry, just like in England and just like in Ireland, they didn't.
	Well, in time, that's going to cause an internal collapse as these societies unravel on the domestic front further and further and further, which obviously is going to make Western powers ultimately weaker in our ability to enforce our global agendas, which should cause a considerable rise in the BRICS membership as well as the BRICS agenda.
	Now, I believe it's about time that this is just the beginning.
	Let me add something.
	You got it.
	You got it.
	The globalists are moving toward a technocracy surveillance state, and this is going to drive the West as they revolt against the establishment to make sure that all the AI, all the recipient control mechanisms are in place.
	They're going to be declaring national emergencies throughout the West as the people revolt against the governments, and they're going to clamp down on the people.
	That's where it's headed.
	That's why this has all been preconceived and planned out, that they would push the population so far to get rage where they then come down on the hard line and suppress all of it.
	So it's going to be tyrannical state worldwide.
	That's the endgame agenda is one world government.
	Well, that's where they're going one big step further with the authoritarian technocratic surveillance state.
	And I would remind us of JFK's observation: those who make peaceful reform impossible make violent revolution inevitable.
	We're heading that way.
	Stunning stuff.
	Meanwhile, Caitlin Johnstone, who's just wonderfully intellectual, the U.S. Empire keeps getting creepier.
	Secretary of War Leit Hagseth said during a speech Friday, the U.S. is at a 1939 moment of mounting urgency in which enemies gather, threats grow heading.
	We are not building for peacetime.
	We are pivoting the Pentagon and our industrial base to a wartime footing.
	Everything's getting darker and creepier in the shadow of the empire.
	Nate Baer has a report out on his new letter entitled The AI Drones Using Gaza are now surveying American cities about new companies called Skydeo, in which the last few years have gone from relative obscurity to quietly becoming a multi-billion dollar op and the largest drone manufacturer in the U.S.
	Bear reports, Skydio now has contract with police departments in almost every large U.S. city to use these Gaza-tested drones for surveillance of American civilians.
	Here's Hag said.
	We're solving life and death problems for our warfighters.
	We're not building for peacetime.
	We are pivoting the Pentagon and our industrial base to a wartime footing.
	Building for victory should our adversaries.
	F-A-F-O.
	Meanwhile, harassment, the prominent Israeli newspaper reports Israel's effect to manipulate American minds back into supporting the Zionist entity, it ain't going to happen, include pouring millions into influence operation targeting Christian churchgoers and efforts to change responses to Palestine-related queries on popular AI services like chat GPT.
	In other words, they want to manipulate the algorithm to give predisposed answers.
	It's crazy how you can literally just be minding your own business in your own church on a Sunday morning and suddenly find yourself getting throat epped by propaganda made for by the state of Israel.
	The Intercept reports YouTube, which is owned by Google, quietly deleted more than 700 videos documenting Israeli atrocities in Gaza in a purge of pro-Palestine human rights group from the platform.
	Mass Silicon Valley deletions like this, combined with sudden influx of fake AI-generated video content polluting the information ecosystem, could serve to erase and obfuscate the evidence of the Gaza Holocaust for future generations.
	A new report from Reuters says last year, you had intel showing Israel's own lawyers warning the IDF's mass atrocities in the Gaza Strip could result in war crime charges.
	This is yet more evidence that the Biden admin knew it was backing genocide the entire time, including during election season when left-leaning Americans were being told they needed to vote for then Vice President Kamala Harris if they wanted to save Gaza.
	That was never the plan.
	Joachim, your thoughts?
	Yeah, well, my last point, pointing out we're living with a techno-surveillance system of control grid operation going on right now.
	And, you know, let's face it, you know, those things flying around in the sky now that are at war are at war with the people now.
	They're brought up home domestically.
	It's going on, of course, to kill, you know, Palestinians in Gaza, but it's now a surveillance state in the sky to keep an eye on every single American and all over the world, particularly, I guess, in the Western countries.
	They're resorting to this.
	And we've made the point before that as empires fail, as they're on their decline, they go to authoritarian, tyrannical extremes of control over the people to try and stop the revolt from happening.
	Well, it ain't going to stop us because they can, you know, tweak all the AI systems so they spit out the Israeli Zionist bullshit, but we're not going to go for it.
	The people know right from wrong.
	They know killing is evil.
	And so we are going to step up.
	It doesn't matter what some elite groups want us to think and do and say, because it's not going to work.
	The cat's out of the bag.
	The evil's out there.
	The people are recognizing it.
	They're fed up and they're not going to put up with it.
	So what happened to the peace candidate who was getting in these stupid wars?
	And now is a secretary of formerly defense who tells us we're pivoting to a war footing.
	I am stunned.
	This is bad.
	This is really colossally stupid politics.
	I'm outraged and offended.
	Brian.
	Well, the war that Hegset is talking about isn't necessarily a war with foreign entities or foreign terrorist organizations.
	It's a war with a manipulated domestic public that has decided that it's tired of the immigration.
	It's tired of the hyperinflation.
	It's tired of everything growing out of control.
	What Johnstone was talking about in there was the creepiness of the drone factor.
	The drones, basically, it's an extension of the Axon body camera system, which the police use.
	Now they're deploying drones as a first line of defense to try to fight crime.
	So if a gunshot goes off in a particular area of a county, they'll deploy a drone to check it out.
	If there's an accident and the police first responders can't be the first ones to be out there, they're going to deploy a drone to get out there and take a look at what's going on.
	The drones are not there to simply fight crime as they want us to believe.
	The drones are there to enforce domestic security from citizens that are tired of being illegally surveilled.
	You know, the American empire used to sell freedom.
	Now it sells fear and algorithms that help identify which ones are the desirable citizens versus which ones are the undesirable systems.
	Their story isn't working anymore with the American public.
	And so they have to enforce belief with surveillance, with propaganda, with psychological structures that are in place to keep people's minds at aligned with their programs.
	So as the empire continues to shrink, its paranoia grows.
	And as its paranoia grows, you get the creepy factor that because they feel so fragile.
	And just let me make sure y'all understand this.
	Hegg says Department of War, this isn't surveillance for bad guys.
	This is surveillance to manage a restless public because they know that the clock is ticking on their legitimacy with the public.
	And when the day comes, there's going to be men driving around with shotguns, shooting up all the surveillance cameras and blowing the drones out of the sky.
	And that's just the nature.
	That's the nature of what they're getting into.
	They're going to feel out of control here pretty soon, especially in the rural areas and even more so in the urban areas where the rats just run around absolutely lawlessly.
	And it's so very, very difficult to catch them.
	Yeah, I like that idea of shooting up the surveillance cameras.
	That appeals to me.
	Joaquin, you want to add?
	Yeah, Larry Ellison, you know, the multi-billionaire, the oracle, and he's buying out CBS and TikTok and all this to change all the AI to make sure that everything is according to the conditioning, the brainwash, where Israel is good, Palestinians, bad, terrorists, you know, they try and ingrain the brainwash.
	And so the people are waking up.
	And this is the good thing.
	Yeah, there's going to be a lot of violence and a lot of horror.
	But the bottom line is that the globalists that are going for the one world government are meeting a wall of resistance from the people.
	Yes, it's going to give the authoritarian state the excuse to then put out the big guns to, you know, quell the revolt and suppress the opinions, free speech, all the constitutional rights that we used to have are no longer going to be enforced.
	In fact, it's going exactly in the opposite direction.
	So yeah, we see revolution happening now.
	It's going to be a worldwide revolution.
	I think they're going to have to be constraints on personal wealth.
	That you cannot allow individuals to acquire vast sums that enable them to buy up news networks, control the flow of information to the American people.
	I can see some multiple.
	Instead of CEOs being able to make a thousand times, say, what the average worker makes, it can only be 150, 200, whatever.
	It's going to have to happen.
	This mass accumulation of wealth has gone completely out of control.
	It allows a tiny number of oligarchs to control almost everything.
	To hell with that.
	Utterly inconsistent with a democrat society.
	Something must be done.
	Meanwhile, John Mersheimer talking about the development of witness Ukraine's guy is so good.
	Listen to him.
	Even to Ukrainian ones.
	I understood immediately what he was doing.
	He was transforming war into a demonstration, strategy into a message.
	This was not a humanitarian gesture.
	It was an act of realist theater.
	The Kremlin was inviting the world to see what the West had long refused to acknowledge, that the Ukrainian army was trapped, exhausted, and losing ground, and that no amount of rhetoric from Washington or Brussels could reverse the military facts on the ground.
	Pokhrovsk had become the stage of collapse, a moment when political illusion met the hard edge of power.
	For months, Western analysts spoke of Ukrainian breakthroughs, of Russia's weakness, of turning tides that never turned.
	But by late 2025, the battlefield told a different story.
	Pokrovsk, once a modest logistical hub in the Donetsk region, had become a crucible where strategic exhaustion converged.
	The Russian army, learning from its early mistakes, abandoned sweeping offensives in favor of slow, grinding encirclement.
	It was the classic logic of attrition.
	Destroy the enemy's capacity to fight, not his morale.
	Western planners misunderstood this.
	They treated war as a media contest, not a material one.
	Yet power, as I have said for decades, is measured not in narratives, but in the balance of capabilities.
	By inviting foreign journalists to witness Ukraine's encircled troops, Moscow was not courting transparency.
	It was asserting dominance.
	Putin compared Pokrovsk to Mariupol's Azovstal siege, signaling to Kiev that the pattern of defeat was repeating itself.
	He understood that perception shapes diplomacy.
	Once the world sees a collapse, it becomes irreversible.
	The cameras would show tired soldiers, empty supply lines, and the futility of Western aid.
	And when that imagery circled the globe, the political calculus in European capitals would begin to shift.
	Realism, long buried under moral posturing, would reassert itself.
	The tragedy of Pokrovsk is not merely military, it is civilizational.
	The West's insistence on fighting for an unattainable victory has led to the disintegration of Ukraine's statehood and the erosion of Western credibility.
	The stage is set not by Russian propaganda, but by Western denial.
	Every war ends when illusion dies.
	You guys, completely brilliant.
	Meanwhile, a Russian think tank has emphasized changes in war strategy by advancing technology, drone warfare.
	The Russian geopolitical journal Global Affairs has published a new military strategic piece co-authored by General Yuri Paloyevsky, Russia's chief of general staff, Garasamo's position from 2004 to 2008.
	He famously stepped down after having opposed the controversial Sergiakov reforms, which transformed or gutted, depending on whom you ask, the Russian armed forces in 2009 to 2012 era.
	The peace is called digital war, a new reality, as seen by the subheading, the peace urges Russia to adapt to this new reality as soon as possible.
	The urgency stems from the state it uses that drone tactic capabilities will increase faster than effective means of countering them.
	We have Ukraine reporting it has hit a major Russian oil refinery with long-range drones as an illustration of precisely the point.
	Kiev, Ukrainian drones struck a major oil refinery in Russia's Volgograd region for the second time in about three months.
	Ukraine's general staff said Thursday, Russian officials did not confirm the attack.
	The local governor said, don't start a fire at an unspecified industrial location.
	What's most important, Russia and Ukraine have traded almost daily assaults on each other's energy infrastructure as the U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to stop the nearly four-year war make no impact on the battlefield.
	Ukraine general staff said the attacks took place.
	The refinery is the largest producer of fuel and lubricants in Russia's southern federal district, processing more than 50 million tons of crude annually.
	But it turns out to be only about 5.6% of the country's total refining capacity, meaning it's not going to have serious impact on the course of the war.
	And high rates of desertion in the Ukrainian army and fast-decreasing public support raise big questions.
	If there's mass desertion in an army, if there's no resort to force and cruelty, if there is resort to force and cruelty to make up thousands of men for conscription, ignoring their family members' protests, polls indicate that support for continuing war is very rapidly diminishing among the people of Ukraine.
	And shouldn't very basic questions be raised regarding who are continuing the war to serve those interests?
	The policy makers in Ukraine and in these countries, which are suppressing Ukraine's current decision makers to continue the war, really, are they really guided by the welfare and well-being of the people of Ukraine?
	Are they being guided by their narrow selfish interests to be secured at the cost of the ordinary people of Ukraine?
	Given the nature of morality, the fundamental principle is to treat other persons with respect and never treat them merely as means.
	It's clear Ukrainian people are being used merely as a means to secure Western political and military objectives, which is profoundly immoral.
	And the more one ponders the situation, the more grotesque it becomes.
	Joachim.
	Yeah, I have to say that John Mearsheimer and Douglas McGregor, I went to school with both of them at West Point, and I'm proud to have actually served my time there at West Point with those two guys because they're up there.
	As far as being analysts of truth, they're really good.
	Regarding the war in Ukraine, yeah, Polkrovsk is done.
	They've captured it.
	The cauldron is surrounded.
	Thousands of Ukrainian troops that are deserting, that are giving up.
	And this is just the, you know, this is a hub in Donetsk.
	You know, they're still working to remove Ukrainian troops from Donetsk.
	And that's been from the very start, 2022.
	But the methodical, very thoughtful Putin does not want to kill Ukrainian civilians.
	One, it's a war crime to go out of your way to do that, unlike Israel does.
	But two, they are fellow Slavs as far as Putin is concerned.
	And he wants to spare as much as he can the civilian population.
	So they approached this whole thing for now three and over and a half years carefully, methodically, not to go full guns like the typical Western powers would be bombing and killing large percentages of the civilian population.
	Well, this one's done differently, and it's caused the war to go on for a long time.
	Yes, there are Russian generals, there's Russians in the civilian population that are very tired of this war and wanted to end and want Putin to escalate the movement towards Kiev to remove that government.
	Apparently, Zelensky is going to stay, even though his fellow Ukrainians are now turning on him in big numbers.
	We're seeing that now.
	And I think his days are very numbered now.
	I think he's going to basically take flight and try and end up in a mansion somewhere half a world away from Ukraine because his regime is going down.
	This war is not going to last too much longer.
	The tempo of the war is going to slow down as the bad weather comes in too.
	But I don't think that Ukraine military has any much more resistance from, because once they cross the Dnieper River, they're heading without resistance from Ukraine military all the way to Kiev.
	So that's what's going to happen in the next couple of months, I believe.
	And by the end of this year, early January, February, I think the war is finally, thank God, maybe coming to an end.
	I think what the West didn't understand was that Putin is a profoundly moral human being, and he was treating the civilians and the residents of Ukraine, fellow Slavs, with respect.
	He wasn't just going out for a wholesale slaughter.
	He wasn't just trying to win a military victory as rapidly as possible.
	He was trying to do it with the utmost respect for human life.
	I am impressed.
	And it looked to the West as though it were a weakness, but it's actually a profound strength.
	Brian.
	Well, it does.
	We look, everybody wondered why Putin didn't take the gloves off early on with this Ukraine thing.
	And it seems that his strategy of a war of attrition, in a sense, has continued to pay off, although popular support for Putin and Russia has declined.
	What I thought was interesting among that segment was the article by Yuri Bilevsky or whatever from Russia, who's arguing that the new modern warfare techniques are basically going to be digital drone range warfare.
	In other words, they're going to, and in Texas, to prefix what I'm saying, in Texas, we have a saying, tall fences make for good neighbors.
	What they're saying in this article is that the new battle lines are going to be drawn with drones and long-range sensors, and that the drones are going to be there to support all the rest of the military equipment that's advancing.
	So any human being who enters this 20-kilometer front that wants to be controlled is going to become a target of these drones.
	And we've all seen the horrifying videos of people that are running for their lives and trying to hide in holes and things like that from these killer drones that are flying around.
	It reminds us of the Terminator series and the Matrix series and some of these other series.
	But what Volonsky's arguing is that it's an incredibly lethal way to continue to fight.
	Now, when you combine that with the fact that Ukraine is running short on troops right now, the question becomes: is Ukraine being equipped to test this weaponry on Russia's citizen, Russia's soldiers, or is this just simply a test front here to determine how the new generation of warfare is going to take place?
	Because what they're really saying is that the new battle lines are always going to be 20 kilometers in front of where they want the battle line to be, where they clear out basically the non-engagement zone, yet it's buzzing with drones all over the place, either shooting each other down or shooting down any human being that goes into this range.
	Now, if you understand the nature of this and ask yourself why the United States government has done so much to militarize its domestic police forces and equip them with these drones and robots and these control mechanisms at such an expense that they've had to carry out numerous false flags in order to justify the expenditures on the American public, you know, what is their long-term plan?
	I guess is the question.
	And how long is it before they say, oh, you've gone into a national forest, that national forest is protected.
	We're going to go ahead and execute advanced maneuvers to have you eradicated from this particular area.
	And so it scares me that warfare is going in this direction, but that's exactly what this military strategic Russian essay that we just went into says: is that this is the new breed of warfare.
	It's very much a call of duty style where military personnel are either equipped with handheld drones or they're all run by government personnel overseas.
	It's scary.
	Yeah, I think it's absolutely correct that the role of infantry, artillery, tanks is going to become minimal in the future.
	It's all going to be missiles and drones.
	I don't have any doubt about it.
	Battleships are antiquated.
	The whole contact of warfare is evolving rapidly.
	So I think it was very appropriate you picked up on that theme, Brian.
	Very appropriate.
	Meanwhile, Russia can mirror in Venezuela what the West is doing in Ukraine.
	Of course.
	Here we have Adebore.com.
	When regional relations, Iran and Syria called on Russia to help defend them against attacks by America, Israel, and a swarm of former ISIS militants, they received no answer.
	Analysts at the time said, and the president of Ukraine, in fact, celebrated that it was because of Russia's war in eastern Ukraine, that assistant could not be branded to protect Moscow's interests abroad.
	In contrast, Venezuela's Nicholas Maduro has called for help and Moscow has answered with Russian outlet confirming additional Russian-made air defense systems have arrived in the South American country.
	Information about the volume and exact names of what's brought from Russia is classified.
	So, surprises may awake the Americans, said Alexai Zerovalov, the first deputy chair of the State Duma Defense Committee.
	According to the latest information, the Russian Panzer S-1 and Buk M23E system were delivered to Caracas by Transport L76 just the other day.
	Indeed, surprises, because I'm confident that includes Russian anti-ship missiles, which are installed.
	We have this wonderful ring to do in Venezuela for over a quarter of a century, which is regime change and to completely quash the Bolivarian revolution inside of Venezuela.
	But Latin American countries are not quietly accepting this.
	Trump's summit of the Americas has been canceled this week due to stiff opposition, primarily from Mexico and Colombia, to Washington's regime change plans and its military actions inside of the Caribbean.
	And Russia has said it's open to arming Venezuela with hypersonic missiles.
	These could carry nuclear warheads that are uninterceptible.
	Russia has already provided Venezuela with Pentasir S-1 and BUC-M2E missiles already.
	So President Nicolas Maduro has given the order to arm the country's patriotic militias, totaling some 8 million people, and the government is handing out rifles.
	Now, we have the recent Nobel Peace Prize winner, Maria Corina Machado, who just can't wait to be the next dictator of Venezuela to sell her country to the highest bidder.
	And she's already claiming that Hamas is operating inside of Caracas, paving the way for U.S. intervention.
	So joining me now to talk about the situation inside of Venezuela and this military buildup are journalists Camila Escalante and Alan McLeod.
	Camila is an editor at Cawasacha News, an alternative media outlet based in Bolivia reporting on Latin America.
	And Alan McLeod, of course, is our senior investigative journalist and staff writer and producer of this show.
	He published a very important book, Bad News from Venezuela: 20 Years of Misreporting.
	Make sure to check that out.
	Thank you both.
	I think that this Nobel Prize given to this woman who appears to be a political opportunist was a shocking illustration that the Nobel Prize is political, not based on merit.
	I'm very, very upset to hear those reports.
	Much more of course to come, but we have the big picture, Joaquim.
	Your thoughts.
	Yeah, Machado is a complete puppet for the evil West and Trump and the rest of them.
	It's just terrible.
	She wants to bring war and killing on her own people so she can be the puppet of her country.
	Yeah, it's very clear that Putin is not going to stand passively and allow America to go in their gangbusters and take over with another regime change.
	We're seeing, you know, times are monumentally changing because what America's been able to get away with for, I mean, what, a century, I would say, is regime change after regime change.
	I mean, whenever, I mean, Shortly after 9-1-1, we have the general in there in the Pentagon and he ran across, oh, seven nations down in five years.
	You know, I mean, that's the kind of agenda that the U.S. government has maintained, where anybody that goes against America or global interests, it's really the globalist interests that are in control of America and its foreign policy.
	And so they've had this way where they basically put the CIA out there to stir up opposition groups in all these countries, you know, so that they can then bring on another overthrow of a legitimate, quote, sovereign government.
	And it's all illegal.
	There are international laws that say it's illegal to do a programmed puppet regime change in another country.
	It goes beyond the limits of national sovereignty around the world.
	So America is finally being caught at its old act of any country that gets out of line for them.
	And that means that, you know, they don't give in to privatization.
	They don't allow the big corporations to come in, rip off all the natural resources of all these countries.
	And then they put in the puppet, you know, government there that does whatever they're told for the interests of an elite group of people in this world.
	We see it over and over and over.
	And the U.S. is the world policeman that does this in regime change operation all over the world.
	Well, those days are now done.
	The people are, again, coming back.
	And in this case, I would say Putin's in the right for moving in.
	He's brought in air defense systems.
	He's bringing in missiles, drones.
	Yeah.
	Trump is already having second thoughts about his whole intention of invading Venezuela.
	Putin has stopped him in his tracks.
	And hopefully there will not be a war.
	That's the last thing the U.S. needs is another war close to our border here.
	So yeah, this is a movement in the right direction where regime change by the United States is not going to be tolerated.
	I love the way the leader of Nigeria is answering to U.S. total authoritarianism.
	And he's going with the status, the new status quo, where every nation has sovereignty.
	Every nation needs to be respected for its national sovereignty.
	And it's no more the world bully America goes in there and does their regime change with invaders, economic invaders, like that old book says.
	You know, it's changing times and this is for the better, I see.
	I couldn't agree more, Brian.
	Well, I just think it's so funny how these articles seem to mirror exactly what we did in Ukraine.
	We went to Russia's neighbor in Ukraine and we performed a coup, a soft color revolution by our CIA, installed our own people and then equipped them with all the drones using them as a proxy front for a war on their border.
	Well, what is happening in Venezuela?
	Venezuela is very closely allied with Russia.
	So Russia is now going in there.
	And according to the article, it's flight radar and Duma.
	Know they're just taking a look at this thing, but they're saying, Oh, here's Russia now doing exactly the same thing to us related to Venezuela.
	But this time, instead of rare earth minerals and agricultural land, it's Venezuelan oil that's at it.
	And so, Russia is going to go ahead and assist with the soft coup in Venezuela, which they may or may not already have, and then equip them with all these missiles to continue fighting America.
	So, I guess it's what's good for the goose is what's good for the gander here.
	And what they're doing over in Venezuela almost perfectly mirrors exactly what we did over in Ukraine.
	So, who are we to complain?
	But, of course, we will.
	Of course, we'll make it look like Russia's continuing, big bad Russia is continuing to threaten America by arming.
	And so, it's a very interesting thing.
	Let me remind you: this is why America has always had something called the Monroe Doctrine, which basically says stay out of other people's hair.
	And if it doesn't get it your way, don't worry about it.
	Well, now it's starting to be what goes around comes around, buddy.
	And that's exactly what the article is saying.
	Excellent, gentlemen.
	Just excellent.
	Don, take us out.
	You're muted.
	You're muted, my friend.
	Don, you're muted.
	You're muted.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	So, what anyway, I'm going to take a break here.
	And so, yeah, what an hour this was here: Truth versus News Incorporated.
	What a day here on November the 10th, right before Veterans Day, and remembering war and heroes and people that have contributed to our freedom.
	But it looks like we're getting on to real aggression that's going to take voodoos away.
	So, thanks for watching this hour and come back with a second hour, which promises to be almost as exciting.
	And I tell you, we need to hear this because nobody else will find out about what's really going on unless you hear this.
