    The Economic Hitman is back; which John Perkins

    John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, returns to explain why he believes Trump is the first US president to actually be an economic hitman — and why he calls it The Art of the Steal. In this conversation, the former economic hitman turned whistleblower argues that Trump isn't a break from the system, but that same system finally operating in plain sight: covert corruption dragged into the open and made shameless. We get into the machinery of debt, leverage and manufactured dependency that captures nations — and what it means now that it's pointed inward, at the American people themselves. My first interview with John: https://youtu.be/IGEBRG8kIvo 🎯 What we cover: 📕 Why Trump is both an "economic hitman" AND a "jackal" — and what that distinction means 💰 Jared Kushner's billions from the Gulf and the death of "conflict of interest" ⚖️ The collapse of the balance of powers and the slide toward authoritarianism 🗣️ Criminalizing dissent — the parallels between US and European speech crackdowns 🌍 Why John still sees this moment as a possible gift, not just a catastrophe 🌋 The warning from a shaman in the Andes about a planet that's starting to "twitch" 🔗 More on John Perkins: https://www.JohnPerkins.org ⚠️ A note on reach: interviews on this channel that once reached 150,000 people now reach around 1,500 — not because anything changed, except what the platform decides to show.

    Fired for a Bestselling Book That Was Right: with Ulrike Guérot

    🔴 Fired by her own university for a book that turned out to be right — political scientist Ulrike Guérot on how dissent became a punishable offence in Germany. When the University of Bonn publicly distanced itself from one of its own professors ten days after she published a book questioning the official Ukraine narrative, it wasn't an academic dispute. It was a warning shot. Three years and four courtrooms later, Ulrike Guérot is at Germany's Constitutional Court — and her case is no longer about her. In this conversation we sit with the uncomfortable question underneath the headlines: what happens to a democracy when disagreement gets reclassified as disloyalty? Guérot argues the machinery now exists to make critics disappear quietly — from the balance sheet, from the faculty, from the conversation — and that most people won't notice until it reaches them. Recorded the day before the Saxony-Anhalt election, with Germany's political ground visibly shifting beneath both of us. 🎙️ Full-length, unedited.

    The Psychologist Who Knew Keir Starmer at Oxford

    Can the Deep State colonize your mind — and can psychology free it? Clinical psychologist Benji Schoendorff makes the case, from Oxford to Gaza to a new "liberation psychology." Founder of the Contextual Psychology Institute in Montreal, Schoendorff explains how the identities we inherit from history and society can limit us — and how the work of dismantling them is fundamentally anti-colonial. Drawing on relational frame theory, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and process-based behavior therapy, he makes the case for a new "liberation psychology" rooted in science. Along the way, he shares his personal journey: becoming an anti-imperialist at age ten, visiting Beirut and the Sabra and Shatila camps in 1981, his Oxford years (including knowing a young Keir Starmer), and why he finally decided to speak out publicly. The conversation ranges across Western hegemony, the idea of the "crusading society," multipolarity, and his provocative critique of Noam Chomsky's famous review of B.F. Skinner. It closes with a deeply personal reflection on what he calls "nourishing the resistance" and being a "free person of the world." 🔗 CONNECT THOMAS KARAT https://karat.substack.comhttps://medium.com/@thomas.s.karat UpScrolled: @ThomasKarat 🔗 CONNECT WITH BENJI SCHOENDORFF https://resistanceisfertilepodcast.substack.com/https://x.com/b_schoendorffhttps://www.youtube.com/@indications/ 💬 What did you think of this conversation?

    They say Israel has a PR problem. No. They have a genocide problem. Mohammad Al-Turk reached out from Gaza City and asked for a microphone. We talked for 90 minutes — about October 7th, the journalists Israel has killed for telling the truth, how Gaza was bulldozed neighborhood by neighborhood, the "ceasefire" that hasn't stopped the killing, and why the shift in US public opinion might be the thing that finally changes everything. He's still there. Still talking.

    FBI Whistle Blower Sibel Edmonds is back — now under arrest warrant in Turkey, banned on X at Erdogan's written request, and receiving death threats. This is the interview that triggered it. Sibel, who was named the most gagged person in US history by the ACLU — on the Halkbank scandal, the Epstein-linked blackmail of Erdogan, the false flags aimed at NATO Article 5, and why almost no one in Western media will say the word "Turkey." 🔗 LINKS: Sibel Edmonds on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sibeledmonds Thomas Karat Substack: https://karat.substack.com Medium: https://medium.com/@thomas.s.karat #SibelEdmonds #Halkbank #Erdogan #Iran #Epstein #Whistleblower Time stamps: 00:00 Intro 06:31 Arrest warrant, X ban, death threats 10:01:25 Elon Musk's written agreement with Erdogan 16:37:01 The new censorship — making journalists invisible 36:21 Predicting the 2016 Turkey coup, six months in advance 40:54 Turkey is bankrupt: BlackRock, Larry Fink, the gold sell-off 46:51 The Halkbank scandal explained: Reza Zarrab, heroin, weapons 54:03 Reza Zarrab's escape — to Disney World 59:59 Zarrab released: Miami mansion, new US passports 01:03:25 March 3rd: the Epstein-linked blackmail of Erdogan 01:05:58 Trump drops the Halkbank case in its entirety 01:07:30 False flags and NATO Article 5 01:22:53 Turkey's nuclear capability 01:27:36 The morning after: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, another 9/11?

    Iran War Truth: What They're Not Telling You | Aaron Good, PhD

    🌍 Is the Iran ceasefire real — or just a pause before the next escalation? Political scientist and deep state researcher Aaron Good (PhD, Temple University) joins us for one of the most unflinching conversations you will find anywhere on the current state of American power, the war on Iran, and where this is all heading. Aaron has spent two decades building a rigorous academic framework for understanding how power actually operates in the United States — beneath the elections, the press conferences and the official narratives. His book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State and his Patreon podcast have made him one of the most serious independent voices in this space. And that is precisely why you won't see him on CNN. 📌 Aaron Good on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/americanexception/home 📌 Thomas Karat on Substack: https://karat.substack.com 📌 Thomas Karat on Medium: https://medium.com/@thomas.s.karat 🔍 In this interview we go deep on: → Why the Iran ceasefire is fragile by design — and who benefits from permanent instability  → The blackmail theory of Trump and Netanyahu: why neither man can stop this war even if they wanted to  → How American public ignorance is not accidental — and why educated Americans may be the most dangerously misinformed  → The 30-year neoconservative project behind the current conflict — and the 1996 Clean Break Report that mapped it out  → Epstein, 9/11 and the architecture of blackmail statecraft  → What a genuine endgame looks like — and whether the destruction of the Zionist project is now a prerequisite for global stability ⚠️ Why you almost didn't see this video Interviews like this one are being demonetized, shadow-banned and buried by recommendation algorithms — not because they are wrong, but because they are inconvenient. Independent researchers who have spent careers developing the tools to read power honestly are being systematically pushed to the margins. The fact that you found this video is already an act of resistance. 🔔 If this conversation matters to you — protect your access to it. The algorithm is not your friend.
