Don Grahn, Joachim Hagopian, and Brian Davidson dissect the April 26, 2026, White House shooting, alleging Cole Thomas Allen's attack was a false flag orchestrated by Benjamin Netanyahu to justify war on Iran. They claim Secret Service agent Mark Wayne survived due to a vest while guests ignored the chaos, citing inconsistencies like Press Secretary Caroline Levitt's prior "shots fired" warning and Fox News cutting Aisha Hasni's feed. The hosts argue this event, alongside canceled peace talks, serves a Rothschild-City of London agenda for World War III depopulation, asserting the U.S. is merely a tool for global elites to enforce a technocratic enslavement through rising fuel prices and resource shortages.

Truth Versus News Incorporated00:12:12
It's the truth versus news incorporated.
Truth versus news.
What a concept.
I think these two things should be one of the same, but they're poles apart as we're going to see today.
And we've had all kinds of things here.
And today is the 26th of the 26th year of April, in April.
And wow, what kind of news we have here with the best people to share it with.
We've got Jim Fetcher, who's the leader of the band here.
He's got books and other things that are really outstanding, that everybody should have, and I will say that he's just our, our fearless guy guidance.
And we have Joaquin Magopian, all the way from Bali, whose insights and writings are just phenomenal, and and laid it all on the line, and Brian Davidson, a private investigator out of Houston, who really knows the facts and is able to express them well.
So Jim, i'm gonna lead her on.
I guess we have a little A sham shooting here, a big shooting to start.
Don, it's really astonishing.
Donald Trump is playing this card again.
We saw it at Butler.
We saw it at the golf course.
Now we're getting at the correspondence dinner.
Here's a really fine overview.
A little long, but very comprehensive.
I like it.
Listen, I need to start with something you won't hear on the nightly news, not because it isn't true, but because asking these questions in Washington these days is treated like a crime.
Saturday night at the Washington Hilton, a thirty-one-year-old part-time math tutor from Torrance, California named Cole Thomas Allen, armed with a pump-action shotgun, a nine-millimeter handgun, and multiple knives, sprinted through not one but multiple security checkpoints where the President of the United States sat eating his main course, and the only reason we are talking about an arrest instead of a funeral, Is that the Secret Service agent he shot point blank happened to be wearing a bulletproof vest?
Trump and his wife Melania were rushed off stage, Vice President JD Vance thrown behind a curtain, and cabinet members shoved to the floor under tables while 2,600 guests in tuxedos and ball gowns screamed and dove for cover.
Something you've already seen the clips of.
A chilling video released by Donald Trump captures the exact moment a gunman shattered security and stormed a checkpoint at the White House Correspondents Association dinner in Washington, D.C.
The gunman, meantime, entered the Washington Hilton tonight, armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives, sprinting past a security checkpoint outside the ballroom where the president, the vice president, and much of his cabinet were gathered.
The grainy footage conveys the drama of the moment.
A gunman rushing a Secret Service checkpoint in a Washington, D.C. hotel, heading towards the president.
But what you probably haven't seen is the swarm of questions that erupted within minutes of the all clear.
Because as the shock wore off, people started noticing things that don't Add up.
Footage from inside the ballroom shows not everyone was panicking.
Some guests stayed in their seats, sipping wine and finishing their burrata salad as if the loud bangs were part of the evening's entertainment.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt had told Fox News on the red carpet barely an hour earlier that there will be some shots fired tonight in the room, a comment that has since gone viral for obvious reasons.
Rumble, is he not?
He is ready to rumble.
I will tell you, this speech tonight will be classic Donald J. Trump.
It'll be funny, it'll be entertaining.
There will be some shots fired tonight in the room.
So everyone should tune in.
It's going to be really great.
I'm looking forward to hearing it.
I love it all.
And you wrote most of it, you said.
I can't take credit.
In true Donald Trump fashion, the man puts his pen to the paper himself.
So it's a lot of his own work.
And 12 days before any of this happened, an ex account going by the name Chili Dog posted a prediction so specific it makes your stomach turn.
Trump is going to go for a staged assassination attempt again.
Blame it on Iran.
I will.
Put a 25% chance on this play.
Before I take you through every layer of what happened and why Tehran's media is calling this exactly what it looks like, I need you to do something for me.
If you believe honest journalism means following the questions wherever they lead, even when they make powerful people uncomfortable, hit that like button, share this video so the algorithm doesn't bury it, and drop a comment right now.
Even a single dot or the word staged tells the platform this conversation matters.
And if you haven't subscribed yet, join this channel now.
Because the kind of deep-dive analysis you're about to hear is what independent media is for, and it only survives with your support.
Let's rewind and walk through Saturday night minute by minute, because the official story and the observable facts are already pulling in opposite directions.
The White House Correspondents Association dinner at the Washington Hilton was the first Trump had ever attended as president.
He'd boycotted it during his entire first term, calling the press the enemy of the people, but this year his team made a show of showing up.
Around 836 p.m., just as dinner service was getting underway, a man staying at the hotel as a registered guest, according to Washington's interim police chief, somehow managed to carry a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple bladed weapons through the Hilton lobby, past the initial security screening, and close enough to the basement ballroom checkpoint that he could fire a shotgun blast at a Secret Service agent at nearly point blank range.
The agent took the hit to his vest and survived.
Allen was tackled to the ground by agents, zip-tied, and arrested without being shot.
Closed-circuit footage Trump later released on his truth social platform shows the suspect sprinting at full speed, arms pumping, through what should have been an absolute fortress before agents draw and engage.
Then there is the Chilly Dog Post.
Twelve days before this shooting, an ex-user wrote, and I am quoting directly, Trump is going to go for a staged assassination attempt again.
Blame it on Iran.
I will put a 25% chance on this play.
Trump has lost all global respect such that he had allies and enemies alike laughing at him.
When you look at the timing of this event against the backdrop of Trump's collapsing poll numbers, that post stops sounding like a random internet prediction and starts sounding like a script that someone read ahead of time.
Just days before the dinner, a University of New Hampshire poll had Trump's approval crashing to 39%, with 60% disapproving.
A CNBC poll recorded his net approval at negative 18%.
The lowest ever across both his terms.
Nearly 75% of Americans rated the economy poorly.
His war in Iran, launched in concert with the occupation forces, had driven fuel prices through the roof and turned even his Republican base against him.
Never sue the other driver after a car accident.
There's a better way to get paid a way bigger check without having to go skip.
The man was politically drowning.
And suddenly, almost on cue, he's a survivor again.
A martyr.
A man the nation must rally behind.
And rally, he did.
Within hours of the shooting, Trump was holding a late night press conference in the White House briefing room, flanked by his cabinet, calling the suspect a lone wolf whack job and a sick person.
He even referenced Iran in that same press conference, floating the idea that the attack could be linked to Tehran.
Well, when he was down, you know, they had him down.
He was fighting hard.
He was, in my opinion, a sick person.
Who would do that but a sick person?
But I think you're going to find everything about him.
No reason to talk about it now.
But tomorrow at this time, Long before this time you're going to know a lot of things about him.
They seem to think he was a lone wolf, and I feel that too.
Are you concerned about U.S. Secret Service protection ability?
We saw several of the detainees take minutes to be escorted out the room.
No, they acted very quickly.
I was very impressed by Secret Service.
I mean, I'm the one, and Mark Wayne, you would agree with that, I think.
Absolutely.
I'm the one that would complain.
You don't have to complain for me.
I would be complaining.
I'd be up here right now saying they didn't do their job, believe me, because, you know, it's my life.
And I want to live because I want to make this country great.
That's why I want to live.
But when you're impactful, they go after you.
When you're not impactful, they leave you alone.
Okay, a couple of more.
A couple of more.
Go ahead, please.
Is there any indication that this shooting could have been linked to the war in Iran?
I don't think so, but you never know.
We're going to know a lot.
We have the best people in the world working on it.
But what about the footage that is circulating?
Because this is where the official narrative begins to seriously fray.
Multiple videos from inside the dinner show a scene that defies basic human psychology.
After shots rang out, after Secret Service agents in combat fatigues stormed the stage with rifles drawn, after people around them were diving under tables and scrambling for exits, some guests remained seated, some continued eating, some kept drinking their wine.
Watch some of the footages I saw live on CNN.
What did they know about the incident that made them so unfazed?
To resume momentarily.
And we will have more details to share also momentarily, but for now, please just be patient as we figure out just how much time it will be, but it shouldn't be that much longer.
Thank you very much.
Is in that room.
You've got Scott Besant in that room.
You have Tulsi Gabbard in that room.
You, of course, have Janie Vance in that room, naturally the President of the United States.
And as John mentioned, the White House correspondence dinner is where we are presently broadcasting from.
Scary and terrible events, but it's not often where you have a loved one next to you in that moment.
In fact, Fox News reporter Aisha Hasni, who was seated at the dinner next to Levitt's husband, Nicholas Riccio, told viewers that moments before dinner started, Riccio leaned over and said, you need to be very safe.
Hasney described him as very serious, scanning the room as he spoke.
Then she started to add, He looked around the room and said, There are some, and the call dropped.
Fox News cut the feed.
Viewers on X erupted, with one writing, They didn't even try to reconnect.
That call was dropped on purpose.
And another saying, My jaw dropped.
They literally cut her off.
Watch the clip.
I want to just quickly tell you, I was sitting next to Caroline Levitt, the press secretary's husband.
He was one of our guests.
He was seated right next to me.
And, you know, right as the dinner was starting, you know, the national anthem happened.
And then he kind of leaned over and said, You know, I watched you on TV.
Staged Assassination Attempt Script00:13:21
You do a great job.
You need to be very safe.
And he was just very serious when he said that to me.
And he kind of looked around the room and he said, You know, there are some.
Sounds like we lost Aisha's.
Phone there.
And this happens, by the way, especially when you have so many people attempting to utilize the same cell service at the same time.
I did want to add this.
While we had a moment, I was just reading.
Think about what a press secretary's husband warning a reporter to be very safe and scanning the room means, combined with a press secretary joking about shots fired, combined with a gunman somehow penetrating what should have been the most secure event in Washington, combined with the fact that the last time Trump's poll numbers were in the dirt, he also miraculously.
Survived an attempt on his life that generated the most politically potent photograph of the decade.
If this was a movie, you would call the script lazy.
Too many coincidences, too much telegraphing.
But this is not a movie.
This is the United States government's security apparatus riddled with holes on the one night when every hole in the system benefits exactly one person Donald J. Trump.
The gunman himself, Cole Thomas Allen, adds another layer of suspicion.
Enlarged prostate is basically signing your own death warrant with cancer.
A mechanical
engineering graduate from Caltech, a master's in computer science, a part-time tutor, named teacher of the month at his company, described as quiet and unassuming by neighbors.
He told investigators he wanted to shoot administration officials, but did not specifically name Trump.
And yet he showed up at a dinner where Trump was the centerpiece, armed like a small militia, and managed to bypass security that should have stopped a pizza delivery, let alone a man with a shotgun.
The FBI is raiding his apartment.
Reviewing his digital footprint trying to construct a motive.
But as of now, no manifesto, no political affiliation, no foreign ties, nothing that fits the profile of an ideologically driven assassin.
He is, as Trump himself labeled him, a lone wolf whack job.
But lone wolves with this level of operational audacity don't usually survive their attacks.
They don't get taken alive without a scratch after charging a checkpoint full of armed secret service agents.
They get shot.
Allen was not shot.
He was subdued, arrested, And is now awaiting arraignment, alive and able to talk.
I want you to hold all of this in your head at once.
The horrifying poll numbers, the eerily prescient online predictions, the security lapses that made the Hilton a sieve, the press secretary's ill-timed joke, the husband's warning, the Fox News cutaway, the guests who didn't flinch, the president who immediately pivoted to selling a ballroom and blaming Iran, and the suspect who doesn't fit any clean profile.
Taken individually, each of these could be dismissed as strange but explainable.
Together, they form a pattern that demands an explanation the corporate media will never give you.
I think he's got it exactly right.
We got a couple other stories here.
Trump's assassinated him 100% fake.
I'll just record them.
There's the president being escorted.
The president being escorted out one side.
The vice president being escorted.
So that was the American president being escorted with JD Vance after an assassination attempt.
And everyone, of course, wants to know is this real?
Is this a real assassination attempt or not?
The answer is very simple.
It's as real as this.
The hostile takeover of Donald Trump on the.
So, if you believe that this is real, then that assassination attempt is real too.
And we have something to back that up.
One of the main things is Caroline Leavitt, the spokesperson of the White House, when she said this before the event took place.
He's ready to rumble, is he not?
He is ready to rumble.
He's ready to rumble.
You just saw him, you know, beating McMahon in that.
Video over there, and he's ready to rumble again.
What else did she say?
We'll tell you this speech tonight will be classic Donald J. Trump.
It'll be funny, it'll be entertaining.
There will be some shots fired.
Other people enjoy the celebration.
I enjoy the preparation.
Fired indeed.
And Kevin Barrett writes Trump shooting false flag.
Let's pick up just a bit of what Kevin has to say.
Donald Trump just keeps on getting shot at.
Fortunately for him, if not for the rest of us, the people shooting at him are stunningly incompetent.
For some reason, competent shooters always shoot at people causing problems for Israel, like the Kennedys and Charlie Curran, while the doofuses shooting at Trump couldn't hit the broadside of an ear.
And if by some fluke they do hit the broadside of Trump's ear with an AR 15 bullet, the bullet itself turns out to be incompetent.
An AR 15 bullet that hits a human ear without leaving any visible sign of damage is worse than incompetent.
As Trump would undoubtedly say to such a bullet, had he hired it during his days on The Apprentice, you're fired.
Love it.
Joaquin, your thoughts.
What's going on here, my friend?
Lights, camera, and action.
You know, and there's stage drama here unfolds.
Where have we seen this one before?
They keep coming up with reruns now.
They don't have anything original anymore.
I mean, there are so many giveaways here.
You always have to ask first question everything that comes out as a news event, cui bono, of course.
The guy's in his lowest ratings.
Everybody hates him.
The war's going bad.
Everything's going bad, bad, bad.
So, of course, You know, the showman comes, he shows up.
You know, the grifter moves on, he's still alive.
You know, time and time again, you know, I mean, they still haven't even come up with the actual documents from the Butler, Pennsylvania incident.
And we know that was a fake job, and he's got a brand new ear there.
So, I mean, you know, it just smells like shit all over again.
And we're supposed to take it, you know.
I mean, I'm just so sick of this shit.
And I've been saying now for a long time that every news event, I'm talking about everything, not just a false flag, you know, quote, assassination attempt, failed assassination.
No, every single major news event that comes out is fake.
Everything.
I'll tell you, the population has no confidence in the truth from either the government or mainstream media.
There is just no credibility left because we've all seen it all before over and over, and we're getting tired of it because it's an insult to all of us for them to pull this shit on us every single time.
And of course, you have less and less people that buy into it.
But, you know, it's like, move on.
Let's just, you know, it's just a frustration that we all have to endure.
You know, every time it looks real bad for Trump, they roll the action out and another stage drama.
It's just so, you know, full of holes like all the rest.
You know, it's a tired rerun.
Let's move on.
This one was exceptionally amateurish.
Brian, your thoughts.
Yeah, it definitely does fit the bill.
The lone wolf shooter is always the giveaway.
The within minutes investigation is concluded.
He acted alone.
The military style speed reminds me of the Dallas police shooting, where they had the guy, obviously military trained, darting around, you know, shooting at this and shooting at that.
They have to show you that the threat is very, very serious and that we couldn't have possibly anticipated where it's going to come from.
So, that they can go ahead and sell the bill that's going to beef up the security apparatus that's going to continue to keep the DC status well protected.
And, you know, people have to have a lot of confidence in the continuity of their government.
So, we've got to have events like this so that we can get our spending bills passed so that we can beef up the system.
And, of course, there are political upsides to running these things as well.
Now, I'm not going to say that I even need to at this point in time conclude.
Based on observable evidence that we've got an event, because I think there are ways to talk about the event without making yourself sound like you're going to collapse into the whole world is fake.
I think there are ways to talk about it in the sense, hey, something isn't quite adding up about this.
Remember Butler?
You can go, there's all sorts of evidence out there on these false flags, and we've been doing them for years.
But the problem that we have is if you go out there and just immediately jump to the Conclusion that all the evidence is in, and you've made your decision, even though you probably have, it does make you look like you fit on the side of the conspiracy theorist.
So, I would like to see a little more well developed argument than we suspect it because it fits the pattern.
But that will come in time, which Charlie Kirk, I was able to use that event, even though I, within hours, suspected that it was fake.
Or that something wasn't quite right about it, I was still able to leverage it to get the leverage that I wanted out of it and then make my conclusions later.
So it's okay to say you just don't know for sure yet, but it's also okay to point out the anomalies that seem to fit.
And in this case, the biggest one is investigation closed 20 minutes after the event.
He acted alone.
We have his phone.
We know who he is.
That's not an investigation, folks.
That's a foregone conclusion and that's a narrative.
And I think that's all you need to stand on to know, and then say, Well, I highly suspect because of this.
And then you can put the pieces together later on 153 News or Rumble or BitChute or wherever the guys are that are going to literally parse it out piece by piece.
But I can guarantee you they'll try to protect the integrity of the event just like they did BitChute.
And you know what?
You're going to continue to see your big talking heads on alternate media platforms talk about it as if they assume it's all true.
Another assassination attempt, another shooter.
These are going to be words that they use to establish that the event itself, because it was recorded or reported, has credibility.
Don't buy it.
They all get duped all the time, or they're all just straight up paid because I don't see anybody out there doing any serious analysis unless it's one of us alternative media guys.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think there's any real doubt about what's going on here.
We draw tentative conclusions that are then further supported or disconfirmed.
By additional evidence, in which case you can revise your opinion, reject conclusions you previously accepted, accept conclusions you previously rejected, and leave others in suspense.
Weaponizing Global Economic Order00:15:03
Meanwhile, we have Trump pulling the plug on Iran talks as the U.S. is seizing ships, strengthening the brocades, falsely claiming we have all the cards, when in fact the opposite is the case.
President Trump canceled negotiating with Iran at the last minute.
Saturday, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Whitgoff, and Gerald Kushner, Trump's son in law, who played key roles in historic diplomatic measures such as the Abraham Accords and the Hamas Israel hostage negotiations, were set to travel to Islamabad over the weekend for a second round of talks with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Trump then told Fox he canceled the trip, tell his representatives you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing.
In fact, it's the Americans who scuttled the negotiation.
Iran came with a group of about 70 with all kinds of records and documents, but they were not interested.
Meanwhile, Iran says it will not accept maximalist solutions, where the title was actually changed in the Wisconsin State Journal to just talk about him canceling the event.
While these talks failed to materialize Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered his troops. To forcefully attack Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, a further test of the three-week crossfire.
Trump told reporters in Florida he decided to call off the planned trip because the talks in Islamabad involved too much travel and expense.
How ridiculous is that?
The war has cost us $1 to $2 billion a day, but it's going to be too expensive to send him there to work it out.
Too expensive?
What an absurdity.
So here you have Joaquin.
Trump and his paranoid meat lost war against Iran, road to U.S. hegemon's ruin.
I think he's got it right.
Today's Middle East war against Iran is the Anglo American Zion Empire's Armageddon Waterloo.
The Satanists ruling the planet are using their Zionists versus Islam World War III plotted centuries ago.
And their fastest ticket to radical depopulation.
After all, the Zionist Rothschild Jewish state founders have been backing both sides to every conflict and war they create over the past few centuries.
It's the latest installment of City of London bankers' wars, thus far limited to a regional, yet at any point it can be thrust into a kinetic World War III engagement, the likes of which none of us alive today.
Have ever witnessed before involving all the most powerful military forces on earth.
Additionally, the last February 24th State of the Nation post has gone out on limb with the title Saturday, April 25th, 2026, a U.S. Israel surprise attack on Iran because 15 nations have posted urgent warnings for their citizens to leave Iran immediately.
U.S., U.K., Canada, France, Germany, Australia, China, India, South Korea, Italy, Spain, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Serbia, Cyprus, Singapore, and Brazil.
They all obviously know something like a bigger war is coming to Iran.
Then there's the insider trading factors, criminally common as we come under the Trump crime family.
It's been taken to a whole new level with a timing of surprise attacks and major breaking news development deliberately timed to occur on weekends.
Once the weekly business hours expire in order to make a killing on the stock market, as well as betting on Don Jr.'s Polly market.
A fresh state article, also out Friday 24th, brings war on money making, not just for the military industrial complex, but the Epstein elite class that foremost includes the Trump crime family.
We're seeing exactly what happens when you can bet on war, and it's horrifying.
Joaquim, your thoughts, my friend.
Well, that's all the lead in to my covering.
I focus on Pete Hegseth in the latter part of that article and how basically Trump and Hegseth are basically for throwing out the laws of war that prohibit soldiers in combat.
To intentionally murder civilians.
It's a basic law of war.
You don't do it.
Yes, there's collateral damage with airstrikes and shit like that.
They always do that, and Israel is the worst.
But the United States, too, they're bombing civilian places, and civilians are dying right and left.
But, you know, both Trump and his secretary of war actually pardoned.
Guys that have actually knowingly committed murder and been prosecuted in court martial, military courts, and were doing time.
And they got free because of Exeter and Trump together.
So this is a team fighting war that has no concept about obeying any kind of rules of engagement or laws of war.
And that says everything, really.
It says everything about how they conduct wars where they're going after civilian population.
They have no concept of trying to spare any civilians.
And how did they start this Iran war?
They immediately wipe out close to 170 little girls, seven to 12 years old, in school, you know?
And then they come back three times with cruise missiles.
To make sure that everybody is dying there.
And then Trump lies about it and says, Well, I think it's Iran that did it.
And then Hexes says, Oh, yeah, we'll do an investigation.
Oh, yeah, we're really learning a lot from the investigation, aren't we?
I mean, everything is like totally illegal that they're doing.
Everything is bullshit with another fake job assassination attempt.
Everything about this administration, it's all for show.
But the outcome is not a.
Play or an act.
It is real.
And that means the world economy, the domino effect from lack of gas, oil, fertilizer, all the rest, the lack of that is major shortages of every kind, empty store shelves, prices out of the roof, and people are not able to afford basic living expenses.
People are homeless.
People are dying.
People are, you know, starving.
I mean, this is the outcome of all of this.
And it's going to happen.
It's happening now, but we're going to see the real eye opener of it within about two or three months because this is the agenda.
And I keep saying the agenda is depopulation.
We're all useless eaters to them.
They got their AI robotics to replace us, they've got them all lined up.
They're even going to be doing some war action with those little robots, you know?
But anyway, yeah, humans are not welcome on this earth, and they're the biggest obstacle to one world government, and they're taking out the West first.
They build up the Eastern powers like China to take out the West.
And you better believe everything that is being done militarily is basically to set up war with China.
Even though the war against Iran now is to cut off the absolute necessity that China relies on.
On 60% of its oil and gas from Iran.
So it's always the bigger picture.
They've been asking, who's the biggest threat in the world?
And they always say China and China, China.
It's overtaking America as the number one power of the world.
And so a dying empire is at its most dangerous, reckless, crazy point when it's dying.
And that's what we're seeing right now, all by deliberate design by City of London et al.
And so, yeah, it's a big movie we're seeing, but the real outcome is going to be a horror show because that's what they want for absolute control, one world government, techno totalitarian, neo feudal enslavement.
Of every living person with all the rest died.
Yeah, that's what we, unless we mobilize in some kind of million to one population resistance all over the world, wake up and realize what's at stake our lives and our future lives, our children's lives.
We have to mobilize some kind of resistance, an act of opposition worldwide against.
You know, there's a handful that are doing this, you know, relative to the total population.
So, you know, we have to wake up and start doing some resistance, or everything that I'm saying is their agenda is going to come true.
We're seeing step by step, you know, and you ask cui bono, well, it's always the agenda that wins in all of these events.
So, yeah, it's time to wake up and join all over the world people that realize the governments are out to kill us, you know.
I mean, I don't know that there is a government that actually serves the people, you know, because they've all been overtaken by globalists that, and a century ago, they were called internationalists.
Well, they haven't changed.
It's the same family throwing the technocrats now with the same old families of the Rothschild, Rock, all the rest of them.
You know, they're still doing it to us.
So it's time to wake up and be going to survive.
Thank you, Joaquin.
Brian, your thoughts.
A lot to process there.
Look, let's just take a look at the big picture.
The Iran war isn't just a local, regional, military crisis, it's a crisis that presents a possible breaking point in the global economic order.
And that's because energy is fundamentally at the foundation layer of all the world's economy.
If Iran and the wider Gulf energy systems end up being disrupted, the damage doesn't stop at oil prices.
Fertilizer, food production, pharmaceuticals, air travel, aluminum, computer chips, whatever, you name it.
So a serious breakdown in this region could be devastating for the entire world, and it could begin to.
Collapse the dominoes in a way that brings us a 1930s style depression back in because it's going to impact a physical production process, not just merely a financial one.
And so, Iran's strategy right now is economic, mutually assured destruction will get the U.S. to back off.
But the U.S. is not acting like The responsible diplomatic leader of the free world, they're acting like a declining, outgoing king who is completely losing his grasp on reality at this point in time.
And basically, we're beginning to show that we are not the well organized diplomatic big brother that ought to be running the zoo and acting as zookeeper, but instead, we're the loosey goosey declining tiger caught in a trap that's beginning to lash out everywhere.
And that seems to be how Trump's really working right now.
So there's There's a lot of different pieces there.
I'm just trying to put together the big picture of what's going on.
And I think that, you know, the U.S. economy is so debt leveraged, so bad, that we're becoming a rabid tiger caught in a corner, desperately trying to hang on to control.
And it just can't last under those circumstances.
Yeah, good points.
Good points.
Meanwhile, extinction.
Rationing and Worldwide Collapse00:03:19
Level event.
Hormuz blocked, famine, and Trump's great reset.
Tired of your devices spying on you?
Discover privacy focused technology?
Active.
Universities closed.
Military deployed in oil depots.
Yeah, I want to apologize.
Spike to ability here.
Total insane spike to almost because nobody knows what's real anymore with this ceasefire, you know, in quotes.
Oil already spiked to almost $100 a barrel just from the Strait of Hormuz getting choked off.
And now every headline moves the market up and down.
Total instability here.
Total insanity.
Joshua Reed says this Mark my words, in about a week, Americans are going to wake up in the morning and feel what this chart actually means.
And he is not exaggerating because what that chart is showing is a near collapse in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
When that flow slows down or stops, it affects everything fuel prices, shipping costs, everything goes up and down.
Supply chains get strained, and within days, people start feeling it at the pump if they're not already feeling it.
I cursed Israel's name out at the pump last time I was filling up my tank.
Okay, I mean, come on, it's getting ridiculous.
I don't remember the last time the gas prices were this high in Vancouver.
Okay, this is actually insane.
Even at the grocery store, everywhere, this is the kind of disruption that ripples through entire systems fast.
At the same time, inflation is blowing up too.
Gas prices are hitting people instantly, and it's starting to bleed into everything else, even airlines.
Are cutting flights and raising prices because fuel costs are so unpredictable.
So you've got the situation where one move in the Middle East sends shockwaves through the entire global economy.
And it's becoming clear this isn't just a regional conflict anymore.
It's a full system squeeze.
What follows fuel rationing?
Famine.
Ann Vandersteel says right here in Bangladesh fuel rationing is active.
Universities closed.
Military deployed in oil depots.
Sri Lanka fuel rationing active.
15 liter per Week cap for private motorists, four day school weeks scaled back.
Public sector operations Slovenia, 50 liter per day cap on fuel for private drivers, 200 liters for businesses and farmers.
Indefinite Philippines, national energy emergency declared, four day working week in place.
Pakistan, four day work weeks and school closures still in effect.
Myanmar, alternating driving days imposed.
Thailand, diesel price cap imposed.
Government officials told to work from home and limit travel.
Fuel exports.
Banned except to Cambodia and Laos.
Vietnam.
Tapping fuel price stabilization funds.
Officials encouraged to work from home and limit travel.
Kenya.
Rationing by major fuel suppliers going on.
Rural areas already running out.
Egypt.
Fuel and electricity.
Rationing active.
Malls, restaurants, and retailers shutting down at 9 p.m.
India.
China.
Unbelievable.
South Korea.
Japan refineries requesting government's release of Stockpiled oil, 95% of crude imported from the Gulf state.
NATO EU Positions Shift West00:10:30
It's absolutely stunning what's going on.
The worldwide effects are called lamentous.
Meanwhile, Lavrov says the West has declared war on Russia, using Kiev as a battering ram.
This guy is the most experienced diplomat in the world today.
He's got it exactly right.
Here's part of the story being reported Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Claims that Western nations have entered into a direct confrontation with Moscow, asserting that the Ukrainian state is currently functioning as a geopolitical battering ram.
Lavrov characterized the expansion of Western influence across Eurasia over recent decades as a primary driver of global instability, specifically highlighting regions where, as he stated, Russia has historically maintained a strong presence, and what he refers to as legitimate interests.
According to ZN.ua on April 24th.
And get this very interesting development.
Terminator now.
Robots.
Just seen the Russian position in Ukraine.
The Asian Times reporting.
Ukraine President Zelensky recently announced that ground robots, also known as unmanned ground vehicles, had captured a Russian position.
Zelensky said it was the first time in the Ukrainian war an enemy position had been taken.
Exclusively by robots.
Ukraine's increasing use of drones in its defense has received a great deal of attention as Russia's invasion has dragged on.
While most of this has focused on aerial and maritime drones, the Army's use of ground robots has been a quieter story, but one with growing significance.
Joachim, your thoughts.
Geez, in my opening rant, I Touched on a couple of these points already.
And because I have to wake up very early, I don't even look at your preview that you send out.
Yeah, extinction level event.
Yeah, I already kind of covered that.
That's where we're headed.
That's where they want us because they don't need us.
And then Lavrov, I mean, yeah, I agree with you that he is probably the best diplomat.
In the world, as far as the crap of being able to negotiate and be fair.
The guy's very honest and fair, and he's the best, in my opinion.
But the story here is like, well, that was February 2022, too, when they embarked on their special military expedition in Ukraine.
Uh, nothing has changed.
Uh, war America put up to Europe up to it.
Europe is just simply vassals hanging on, they're ready to go under very quick.
They'll go under before America, but we're all both going together.
The West, all of the whole civilization is going down.
But yeah, uh, this is just the old, you know, West democracy versus the quote, uh, bad guys from the East communists.
You know, it's the same.
Cold War that just hasn't ended, you know, just because the Soviet broke up, you know, they've been demonizing Putin forever.
I mean, you know, it's like he's been in power now probably about, what, 27 years now?
And from the very get go, you know, they were always the bad guy, bad guy, especially, you know, still the bad guy in the eyes of Europe.
America has just pulled back.
But as far as their investment in the long term outcome of that war, using, yes, Ukraine as the battering ram, they are, I mean, it is a genocide.
Against the Ukrainian males, it's a genocide.
They're just using them as the fodder by which Ukraine is going to eventually go down.
But yeah, I mean, it hasn't changed.
The dynamic of that hasn't changed.
So I'm kind of surprised that Lavrov even makes this statement because it's just old news.
There's been an open war, proxy war against Russia forever.
I mean, that's just the way it is.
And so, yeah, and then the Terminator, you know.
Yeah, they're using them on the battlefields already.
They're testing them out, you know, a test drive with the robots for war.
We've seen it coming, and here it is.
It's already here.
So, yeah, there it is.
It's fascinating that he might have wars fought by inanimate objects.
At least people wouldn't be being killed, but their property would be seized and their freedom would be lost.
I mean, the stakes.
It's fascinating.
Brian, your thoughts.
Yeah, there's.
I can't imagine anything sort of more frightening than the idea of having a robot drone hunt you down that's got, you know, weapons and bullets and facial recognition system.
We saw some of this earlier.
Now, I say that it's very important to realize that we don't exactly have a military discipline, high boot model military anymore.
It's our boot camps look to me more like.
Child's play compared to what they probably were back in Vietnam and even Korea.
I bring this up because it's important.
If we don't have the manpower, then we've got to have the AI power, but AI makes mistakes.
It's success conditions put it in a position where it's going to report back exactly what you want to hear, not exactly what the truth is.
Now, why is Lavrov so important?
Lavrov is basically the voice of.
The Russian state strategy.
He's been their foreign minister since about 2000, maybe 2005 or 2004.
And that means that he's one of the longest actually serving senior diplomats in the world.
This is not your hot take podcaster.
He is a continuity figure in the Russian security state, very disciplined, very controlled, very experienced.
Very deliberate in his wording.
So when Lavrov says that the West is using Ukraine as a geopolitical battering ram, he's not describing Ukraine.
He's explaining Moscow's position, which they're correct.
Their operating thesis has been that Ukraine has been nothing more than a puppeteer instrument of a Western campaign to weaken Russia for years.
And so these latest remarks just re emphasize.
They can see through what we did back in 2014 with the Minsk agreements.
They can see through what Hillary Clinton had been setting up as Russia's the enemy, the enemy, the enemy, Russia, Russia, Russia.
They can see through all of these propaganda issues and project their own position on what the world is.
It doesn't mean that it's not a continued threat, but let's face it, without Russia going down on the global chessboard, The global New World Order can never really get itself established.
So, right now, you're seeing the fuel prices begin to rise.
You're seeing the shortages.
This is exactly what I was saying in one of my open statements.
And this is going to start causing production stress throughout the system, which is then going to be used to sort of initiate a winner take all style global run for the New World Order.
And I can guarantee you that the odds on favorite for the winner in the New World Order is not necessarily BRICS.
It's Western power hegemony.
However, you've got another problem right now in that European leaders are beginning to part from the traditional position that the United States gets to be the zookeeper.
And they're beginning to recognize the damage that we're doing, especially in Turkey and around the Straits of Hormuz, as more damage than good.
And with America and Trump projecting this position of less than controlled diplomacy, instead, more like a clownish.
Uh, show, uh, I can say that the NATO EU positions are going to say, Hey, America is unstable, we got to find another, we got to find something else, and that might get them to start leaning towards guys like Lavrov and Russia.
I think there's a lot to what you're saying, Brian.
I think that's very much on the right track.
Meanwhile, Cats Israel is waiting for the U.S. to give the green light to attack Iran again.
John Hillmer reports Israel has turned America into a war criminal.
Israel runs the Pentagon, according to the Truth Seeker.
I think they got it right.
Is this Kevin once again?
Netanyahu Drives Iran Attack Plan00:03:37
Shortly after assuming office in 1961, then-President JFK approved a U.S. invasion of Cuba.
The subsequent May of Minsk debacle, during which almost all the U.S. forces involved were killed or captured, is still considered one of the worst ever American military defeats.
Following the disaster, he ordered the construction of the White House Situation Room, a 5,000-square-foot secure 24-7 intelligence and communication complex in the West Wing, Dedicated to crisis management, in high level national security meetings, allowing the president to securely monitor events, communicate with world leaders, and command U.S. forces worldwide.
On February 11, 2026, at 11 a.m., President Donald Trump summoned his top advisors to the Situation Room.
That meeting resulted in the ill fated decision to attack Iran.
But the decision was not driven by Trump.
Nor by any of his American advisors.
According to the New York Times account, based on inside sources, the boss in the White House sit room that way was none other than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Mr. Trump sat down, but not in his usual position at the head of the room's mahogany conference table.
Instead, the president took a seat on one side, facing the large screen mounted along the wall.
Mr. Netanyahu sat on the other, directly opposite the president.
Appearing on the screen behind the prime minister was David Barnea, director of Mossad, Israel's foreign intel agency, as well as Israeli military officials.
Arrayed visually behind Mr. Netanyahu, they created the image of a wartime leader surrounded by his team.
Netanyahu delivered a hard sell pitch demanding the U.S. attack Iran.
He claimed absurdly that Iranians would love having the U.S. attack them.
Even more bizarrely, Netanyahu insisted the son of Iran's dethroned U.S. Baba Shah, who in reality is despised by virtually all Iranians, Would be acclaimed as Iran's new US backed Israel friendly leader.
Netanyahu's side talk was wildly divorced from reality.
But Trump knows little about Iran.
What little he knows is wrong, because it comes from Netanyahu.
Indeed, Trump decided to run for president in 2016 primarily because Netanyahu's billionaire friends incited him against Obama's nuclear agreement with Iran, promising lavish funding.
In return for embracing Israel's Iranophobia.
On February 11, 2026, in the Situation Room, Trump swallowed Netanyahu's nonsense hook, line, and sinker.
The result an immoral, unwinnable, economically and strategically disastrous U.S. war on Iran may go down in history as the worst decision ever made by a U.S. president.
Except that it wasn't really made by a U.S. president, but by an Israeli prime minister.
I think he's got it right, Joachim.
End Game Scenario Unfolding Now00:05:14
Your thoughts, my friend.
Well, yeah, I agree.
The United States government is owned by Israel, and they do what Israel and Netanyahu demand them to do.
It's been like that for a long time, but especially.
We haven't seen it worse than with Trump.
But, you know, again, the bigger picture is they are the City of London Rothschild bloodline dynasty family and their friends.
And so it all goes back to that.
Our puppets, that's from the controllers.
That's saying unstable connection.
Here we go again.
So, yeah, I mean, basically, the idea is we have to, we being, you know, these internationalistslash globalistslash the city of London has to basically.
Take down the West, bring up the East, and World War III depopulate the planet.
You know, this is the end game scenario, and we're seeing it.
I mean, every week it's getting closer and closer.
I believe that we've already, we're already into World War III, but it just hasn't, you know, been full guns with Russia, China, and Iran versus Israel and America and then NATO.
But we're getting closer and closer to it.
Yeah, this is what we're seeing.
Come into full bloom.
Brian, your thoughts.
The problem with Israel is that they.
They are so dangerous in that they don't seem to have any moral limits whatsoever.
They'll use false flags.
They'll use shooting festivals.
They'll use whatever fakery they possibly can to win in their position.
And once you understand that your enemy cannot be trusted and that they will use any means possible to affect their goal, which is sort of their strength.
They'll use blackmail.
They'll use child sex trafficking.
They'll use intelligence that's illegally gained through hacking into somebody's phone.
They'll use anything they possibly can to control you all along the way.
And the world needs to stop saying no to it.
And I'll tell you what Israel just the other week threatened Russia, they threatened Putin that they had access to all the security cameras in Moscow and that they would deploy robotic cameras.
Assassination techniques from a distance if they didn't get what they want.
And so, what you've got here is a madman that has control of an institutional America that is layered in bureaucracy with no leadership whatsoever.
We are not John F. Kennedy's America, we are the America that is controlled by the machine.
And this America is an institutional control mechanism where I think the NGOs even control the president.
I think the NGOs control the culture.
I think that what you've got is a global bankster cartel and network of billionaires that's highly connected to Israel, maybe the Freemasons, maybe the Catholics, the Vatican, whatever, but it's all part of this secret society, mystery Babylon money power machine that's tied together to make sure that our culture goes.
The direction that protects them.
So, what you've got here is a very, very threatening enemy.
And I would argue at this point in time, Iran is not the enemy.
The enemy is the madman with a gun who will do absolutely anything to keep control of power.
And if we don't fix that problem and clip those wings real short, real quick, and I'm not talking about nuclear holocaust, and I'm not talking about Ethnic cleansing.
We don't want to sink to their level, but we absolutely have to cut that influence out of this world before it becomes a cancer.
Because when you've got one character who acts on that level and that character is never constrained or controlled, then the rest of the world begins to believe that Team America World Police ain't worth a damn anyway.
Real Enemy Is Madman With Gun00:00:44
Excellent, excellent comments.
Brian Don, take us out.
You're muted.
Don, you're muted.
Yeah, excuse me.
So here on the 26th of April, 2026, what a show.
We've got hitting the heavy stuff and there's a lot of stuff to hit and it's getting heavier all the time.
So just come back for the second hour if you can and show this widely because there's so many platforms now, I can't cover them all.
