Netanyahu’s HOUSE BOMBED! He’s Forced To Flee Israel
The Jimmy Dore Show

Mar 10, 2026

"Jimmy reports on a major escalation in the Iran war where the homes of Israeli leaders have been targeted, allegedly killing Benjamin Netanyahu's brother and seriously wounding Itamar Ben-Gvir, signaling a shift to targeting Israeli leadership in response to their regime change assassination of Ayatollah.

He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight how Western media like the BBC and Reuters are covering up the attacks by reporting Ben-Gvir was "lightly injured in a car accident," exposing their role as propagandists for Israel.

Jimmy notes that Israel's air defenses are failing, with Iranian missiles now getting through relentlessly, while Netanyahu himself is reportedly fleeing on private jets rather than showing the courage of the Iranian leader he assassinated. The segment concludes with observations that Pentagon contractors are suppressing satellite images of destroyed U.S. bases and that Trump's claim the war is "almost over" may actually signal Israel's desperate request for an exit as they face defeat."

Japan Has CAGED China's Navy

(Unlike their technological devices which the Chinese Communist Party boasts are so advanced, yet are proven again and again to be junk based on stolen designs from other countries but executed so sloppily that they never work the way they are supposed to, Japan's technology has proven over the years to be genuinely advanced, though unlike the CCP, Japan is modest and doesn't spend millions on propaganda to demonstrate their superiority. But this story appears to shed light on what has not been widely known concerning the safety of Taiwan's future, thanks in large part to Japan's determination to keep the CCP in line. )

"The geopolitical landscape of the Indo-Pacific has reached a historic turning point. Japan has officially discarded its traditional pacifist defense doctrine, taking aggressive and unprecedented steps to neutralize the threat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Tokyo is not just defending; it is actively caging the Chinese Navy.

At the heart of this new strategy is Japan's terrifying technological leap. The deployment of zero-acoustic Taigei-class ghost submarines, combined with advanced drone-hunting laser weapons and upgraded 1,000km range Type-12 missiles, has completely shifted the balance of power. Furthermore, Japan has transformed strategic outposts like Iwo Jima into deep operational bases and heavily militarized Yonaguni Island, located a mere 110 kilometers from Taiwan, creating an unbreakable "steel wall" in the ocean.

This military blockade is coupled with a massive diplomatic earthquake. In a direct challenge to Beijing's "One China" policy, the Taiwanese Premier's historic visit to Japan has triggered fury in the Kremlin and Beijing alike. However, with China's own HQ-9B air defense systems allegedly failing in the Middle East, Xi Jinping is being forced to reconsider his military capabilities.

Watch this full OSINT geopolitical analysis to understand how Japan's high-tech militarization and bold diplomatic maneuvers have made a Chinese invasion of Taiwan mathematically impossible! "

🎯 Topics Covered in This Geopolitical Analysis:

The Ghost Fleet: Japan's zero-acoustic Taigei-class submarines.

The Steel Wall: Fortifying Iwo Jima and Yonaguni Island with missiles.

Diplomatic Earthquake: Taiwan's historic visit to Japan and China's fury.

Why China Suddenly Stopped Flying Over Taiwan
Lei's Real Talk

Mar 13, 2026

"For nearly three years, Chinese fighter jets and drones have flown daily near Taiwan, creating what Beijing calls the “new normal.” Then suddenly, on February 28, everything stopped. For 192 hours, the Taiwan Strait went silent—no sorties, no drones, no signals. Why did the PLA suddenly hit the brakes? In this episode, we examine the mysterious pause in China’s military activity and explore whether the trigger came from thousands of miles away: the U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran during Operation Epic Fury. Did the battlefield in Iran expose weaknesses in Chinese military technology—and force Beijing to reassess its strategy toward Taiwan?"

The Strategy Beijing Is Using Against Taiwan
Lei's Real Talk

Mar 15, 2026

"China’s strategy toward Taiwan may be unfolding in places most people are not watching. While attention focuses on military activity in the Taiwan Strait, another battle is taking place inside Taiwan’s own legislature.
Lawmakers in Taipei are debating a massive NT$1.25 trillion (about $40 billion) defense plan, including the proposed T-Dome missile defense system. But opposition parties are pushing to slash the budget by as much as 70 percent—a move that could delay key U.S. weapons purchases and weaken Taiwan’s military modernization.
At the same time, a former Japanese defense minister has revealed new insights into Xi Jinping’s timeline for Taiwan. Is Beijing trying to shape the battlefield politically before any conflict begins? In this program, we examine the strategy Beijing may be using against Taiwan."

A #Belgium court moves to try ex-diplomat Etienne Davignon over Patrice #Lumumba’s 1961 assassination, marking a pivotal moment in confronting colonial-era crimes.

For the record, the Belgian count Étienne Davignon was a member of the Steering

Committee of #Bilderberg from 1986 to 2014 and Chairman of the eponymous

conferences from 1999 to 2011. The first Meeting he attended took place in Knokke in 1972.

FORMER BELGIAN DIPLOMAT FIRST TO STAND TRIAL OVER 1961 MURDER OF CONGO'S LUMUMBA
"A Belgian parliamentary investigation into Lumumba’s killing concluded in 2002 that Belgium was “morally ‌responsible” for his death. But the trial of 93-year-old Count Étienne Davignon, a former EU commissioner ⁠who was a junior diplomat at the time, constitutes the first prosecution related to the murder.

Prosecutors say Davignon, who is accused of war crimes, participated in the unlawful detention or transfer of Lumumba and ​deprived him of his right to an impartial trial. They say he subjected Lumumba ‌to “humiliating and degrading treatment”.

He is also accused of involvement in the murders of two of Lumumba’s political allies, Maurice Mpolo and Joseph Okito.

All the other suspects in the case have died.

Davignon was not present in the courtroom on Tuesday, ‌and his lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

Solved, 2 persons with false ID and false tickets and a suspect suitcase had embark from Europe in a plane to land in Montreal. The plane landed safely, the 2 passenger are arrested and the suitcase had nothing. The civil plane was followed throughout by canadian F16.

William McCasland, retired general who led Air Force Research Laboratory, goes missing https://trib.al/pJ9fHQG

https://x.com/nypost/status/2028527847413834028

Following McCasland’s mysterious disappearance, as posted by Ravenlocke in post #4130, The Sentinal has found a number of disappearances and deaths that appear to be related.

The article is long, and imo worth reading. Below I’ve quoted the last bit, their conclusion.

https://thesentinelnetwork.substack....arted-with-two

What We Are Not Saying

We are not saying these deaths were coordinated.

We are not saying a foreign intelligence service is assassinating American scientists.

We are not saying the perpetrators were directed by anyone.

Here is what we are saying. Every word of it is documented.

The entire chain of human expertise behind a strategic national security technology, the alloy enabling American independence from Russian rocket engines, has been broken. The inventor is gone. The commander is gone. The mentor is dead. Every person who held the complete institutional memory of how Mondaloy went from a laboratory curiosity to a flight-qualified engine component has been removed from the system.

At the same installation where that alloy was qualified, three more of the lab’s employees died in a single night, and the motive has never been established.

At the institution that processes data for America’s planetary defense infrastructure, an astronomer was shot dead by a man whose prior arrest on that same property was dismissed eleven days before the killing.

At America’s premier nuclear weapons laboratory, an employee who sat on a DOE advisory board drove onto the campus, told her daughter she’d forgotten her badge despite apparently using it that morning, wiped her government phone, and walked into the wilderness four days after Reza did the same thing 800 miles away.

Five of the nine names in this briefing are women. Of the three who vanished without a trace, two are women, and both share identical signatures: belongings left behind, digital trails severed, no body recovered. Reza and Casias generated search and rescue. McCasland generated FBI and cable news. If you were selecting targets to minimize the speed and scale of the institutional response, you would choose accordingly.

Each case, on its own, has an explanation or an open investigation. The cluster does not.

No entity is examining these incidents as a cluster. The cases are distributed across six jurisdictions, three states, and at least eight investigative agencies. The structural architecture of the response guarantees that no one will ever see the list unless someone builds it.

We just built it.

SENTINEL ASSESSMENT

This investigation started with a woman who waved and a general who walked. It now encompasses nine names across three strategic domains: the propulsion materials that free us from Russian rocket engines, the infrared sensing that tracks what moves through space, and the nuclear weapons complex that sits at the center of American deterrence.

The network connecting these people is not a theory. It is patent filings, congressional testimony, DTIC records, DOE advisory board rosters, and federal contract databases. It is Dallis Hardwick’s signature on the same document as Monica Reza’s. It is McCasland’s command authority over the budget that paid for the alloy they invented together. It is Grillmair’s data pipeline running through the same JPL campus where Reza worked when she vanished. It is three more bodies at the base where all of this was built. And it is a LANL employee who drove onto the campus of a nuclear weapons facility, told her daughter she’d forgotten her badge despite apparently using it that morning, wiped her government phone, and walked into the same wilderness corridor where McCasland would vanish eight months later.

The timeline is accelerating. Reza on June 22. Casias on June 26. Four months of silence. Then Wright-Patterson in October. Then February: Snyder’s charges dismissed on the 5th, Grillmair dead on the 16th, McCasland gone on the 27th. Three events in 22 days. The dismissal enabled the killing. The killing preceded the disappearance.

What we do not have is causation. We are not pretending we do.

What we have is a count. And the count is long enough that someone with subpoena power should be looking at it.

Iran’s Hangs Young Wrestler [Age 19] Which Raises Alarms


Execution of 19-year-old wrestler Saleh Mohammadi has reignited global outrage, with rights groups questioning Iran’s due process.

The execution of 19-year-old Iranian wrestler Saleh Mohammadi has thrust Iran’s crackdown on dissent back into the global spotlight.

According to reports from Euronews, Iranian authorities executed three men on March 19 — Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi — marking the first confirmed executions linked to the January 2026 anti-government protests.

The trio were reportedly hanged in Qom after being convicted of moharebeh (“waging war against God"), a capital offence under Iran’s legal system.

State media claimed the men were involved in the killing of two police officers and had carried out “operational actions" in favour of Israel and the United States.

But beyond the official narrative, the case has quickly unravelled into something far more contentious.

Questions Over Due Process

Human rights groups have strongly challenged the legitimacy of the convictions, particularly Mohammadi’s.

A teenage athlete who had competed internationally, Mohammadi’s case has drawn scrutiny over alleged procedural violations.

Reports cited by outlets like SSBCrack News claimed he was denied access to an independent lawyer, had limited contact with his family, and saw potential alibi evidence ignored. Even more concerning are allegations that confessions used in court may have been obtained under torture.

Iranian courts dismissed these claims outright, but that has done little to quiet criticism.

Conflicting Narratives

Further complicating matters, the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights reported that the executions were carried out in secrecy at a prison in Qom. This sharply contrasts with the state’s portrayal of due judicial process, fuelling doubts about what actually transpired behind closed doors.

Mohammadi’s execution has also inevitably drawn comparisons to that of wrestler Navid Afkari, whose death sparked international outrage back in 2020.

The January 2026 protests, driven by political and economic grievances, have led to widespread arrests and an intensified security response.

Rights organisations have warned that the latest executions could signal a broader escalation.

The video is under 10 minutes. Scary. stuff.

I have a question -for everyone. What are the gas prices in your local area and how much have they risen in the last 1-2 weeks?

Today at the pump in California I paid $6:30 a gallon, a rise of roughly $1:50 a gallon.

I wonder how bad this is going to get.

My heart goes out to the areas mentioned in the video and can't help but wonder how far and how fast the trend might travel.

"Australia's largest ammonia plant will be shut for two months to repair damage caused by a power outage, amidst a global supply crunch for the vital fertiliser and explosives ingredient."

Australia's top fertiliser input plant shuts for 2 months
Peter Milne

Australia's largest ammonia plant will be shut for two months to repair damage caused by a power outage, amidst a global supply crunch for the vital fertiliser and explosives ingredient.

More than a quarter of the world's traded ammonia flows through the Strait of Hormuz, as do 43 per cent of urea shipments - the fertiliser made from ammonia.

That flow has been cut to a trickle since the United States and Israel attacked Iran, as have vital gas supplies, causing fertiliser plants in India to shut.

Yara's Pilbara plant, which uses gas to produce 850,000 tonnes of ammonia a year, suffered a power outage last week, damaging equipment.

A spokesman for the Norwegian company said workers and the environment were unaffected, and initial assessments indicated repairs could take about two months.

"Yara well understands the importance of its products to customers and will work to bring the operations back online as soon as practical," he said.

An adjacent plant, half-owned by Australia's Orica, uses 140,000 tonnes of the ammonia to make the explosive technical ammonium nitrate (TAN) for WA's mining sector.

The remaining ammonia is shipped to Australian and international customers, and much of it is used to make urea fertiliser.

Alcoa lied about jarrah forest rehabilitation: ad watchdog
The Ad Standards decision has demolished a key plank of the US miner’s expensive campaign to win public support for expanded mining in WA.
The shutdown could not have come at a worse time for Australia's farmers, who last year imported 1.2 million tonnes of urea in April and May for use before or shortly after seeding. Three-quarters came from the Gulf nations, where shipping is now severely curtailed after the United States and Israel attacked Iran.

Mining relies on explosives

Australia's largest export could also be affected.

For the next two months, WA's iron ore miners no longer have 330,000 tonnes a year of TAN produced on their doorstep. The explosive is used in vast quantities to blast rock so it can be collected, crushed and shipped to port.

The degree of disruption to production, if any, will depend on the stocks of TAN the miners hold and whether they can source other supplies at short notice.

Wesfarmers subsidiary CSBP runs WA's second-largest ammonia plant in Kwinana near Perth. CSBP uses Kwinana's 255,000 tonnes a year output and additional imported ammonia to make ammonium nitrate for fertilisers and explosives.

CSBP would not say if any of its imported ammonia came from Yara.

"It is standard business practice for us to continually monitor and manage our supply chain to ensure we meet customer demand," a company spokeswoman said.

The ionosphere continues to process a MASSIVE AMOUNT of electromagnetic energy circulating through the planet's resonating field.
Intensity dropped a bit since last night... but don't be fooled.
This is NOT a lowdown. It's the planet REDISTRIBUTING that brutal wave of energy that swept through the entire system. Adjustment in progress. Phase of Global Recalibration.
Do you feel it? Goosebumps, insomnia, weird pulses, sudden mental clarity...
Cansancio extremo que aparece de golpe
CRAZY vivid dreams or epic nightmares
Restlessness, brutal insomnia or anxiety for no reason
Hyper-alert pets, nervous or
You're not crazy. The Earth is speaking loudly. And we are tuned in on the same frequency.
How do they feel ? "
