NewsReal: Rising Energy Prices From Mid-East Wars Fueling Riots in France & EU
The high school protests in France this week 'converged' with protests against the rising costs of living, resulting in mass street demonstrations in many French cities. The media (and social media) is focusing on the destructive violence and looting committed by a small segment of protesters,...

NewsReal: Trump 'Russia Diesel Deal' a Sign of Desperation Ahead of US Mid-Terms
As energy prices rise, and inflation and interest rates along with them, the Western world is anxious for good news regarding an end to the US stand-off against Iran, and the Russia-Ukraine-NATO war. So when Trump announced a surprising breakthrough on Friday - the US importing shipments of…

NewsReal: Ponzi Trap: Why Western Govts Must 'Roll Over The Debt And Deceive'
This week's high-school protests in France against cuts to education funding, while not imminently heralding 'the fall of France', do indicate enormous budgetary strain due to the energy crisis and the redirection of funding towards military procurement. Similarly, protests in Spain against…

NewsReal: War or Peace, Global Economic Crisis is Coming
A grand 'peaceful summit' in Washington with Xi Jinping which extended the 'US-China trade war truce', more claims from Trump that Iran 'wants to make a deal', a 'settlement' between the US and Denmark over the future of Greenland, no US intervention on Saudi Arabia's side against Yemen's…

NewsReal: From 9/11 to the Strait of Hormuz: What Went Wrong?
25 years since 9/11 - "the day that changed the world" - the world has indeed changed, but in whose image? Or according to which designs? Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in July 2006 that we were witnessing the "birth pangs of a new Middle East" toward a pro-Western regional...

NewsReal: US-Iran War Turns Hot Again, 'Russian Drone' Plot Overshadows Key German Election
Well, they're back at it again. The US and Iran last week conducted another round of strikes and counter-strikes, their first since mid-July. This time Iran claims to have targeted with ballistic missiles (and successfully damaged) a US Navy destroyer and aircraft carrier - presumably the USS...
-
NewsReal: It's All Going Wrong For America
5 years after its ignominious departure from Afghanistan, 4 years after baiting Russia into Ukraine, and 3 years after 'partnering' with Israel's '7-front war', the United States finds itself in a quagmire. Brought into focus by its inability to enforce its will against Iran, the empire's usual...
-
NewsReal: New World Order Arrives (No, Not That One!)
The lack of any progress towards achieving its goals in Iran, and the pathetic attempts to paper over this fact by claiming that their goals have been achieved, is leaving the US regime badly exposed to the key factor that has sustained its position as the global hegemon: its reputation for…

NewsReal: Trump TACOS for the 5th Time, Spain 'Invaded' by Morocco
Yes, 'only' 5 times, even though it seems like most weeks since April has seen Trump flip from extreme aggression towards Iran back into a 'man of peace'. Last week he again threatened 'massive bombardment' only to revert to his tired claim that Iran and other Gulf countries 'called at the last...
-
NewsReal: Global Economic Collapse Coming?
Between the oil, gas, fertilizers, and other feedstocks not making it past a Strait of Hormuz now effectively closed for 5 months, along with the oil, gas, fertilizers and grain not making it out of both Russia and Ukraine's ports and into global markets, is a global economic crash headed our…

NewsReal: From EuroMaidan to 'Regime Change' in Iran: The Genesis of Today's Global Energy War
Barely 3 weeks old, the 'Memorandum of Understanding' between the US and Iran appears to have come to an end. The US military is targeting Iranian military and civilian sites daily, while Iran is attacking US bases and other assets across the Middle East. That this is occurring at the same time...
-
NewsReal: Horns of a Dilemma: Why Trump is Damned if he Does, Damned if he Doesn't ('Take Out Iran')

NewsReal: America at 250: What Are We Celebrating?
On the surface, the USA is thriving and a "light unto the world", as Trump recited in his speeches marking the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence on July 4th 1776. But is this 'national mythos' still valid? Was it ever? Does the US live up to its claims of uniqueness with...
-
NewsReal: Is The Iran War Really Over? And Why Can't Putin 'Just End The Ukraine War Already'?
One week into the 'Peace Deal', the US and Iran are back to taking potshots at each other - both online and ballistically - over control of shipping through the strait of Hormuz. And, for all their recent criticism of Israel, US leaders this week gave Netanyahu something of a 'win' in Lebanon: a...
-
NewsReal: It's a Deal! But Can Trump Tame Israel? Or Does Iran have to MAKE him?
So Trump and Iran's president have at last come to terms, jointly signing a Memorandum of Understanding that 'solidifies', if that's not too strong a word, the de facto ceasefire between the US and Iran that stretches back some 16 weeks. It's the shakiest of peace deals, not least because key...
-
NewsReal: Schrödinger's Deal: US-Iran Peace Again Thwarted by Israeli Bombardment of Beirut
The seemingly endless 'negotiations' between the Trump White House and Tehran made a breakthrough last week, when, for the first time since the US and Israel attacked Iran on 28 February, Iranian leaders signalled that a preliminary 'peace deal' is indeed within reach... until Israel nixed it by...
-
NewsReal: Does Ukraine Have a Death-Wish? And Does Iran Have a Nuke?
Ukraine's drone waves continue hitting Russia, last week targeting St Petersburg right as its annual 'Russian Davos' forum opened, Azerbaijani grain ships in the Sea of Azov, and the nuclear power plant in Zaporozhye. The Ukrainian puppet regime, egged on as ever by the Western Consortium that…

NewsReal: US Govt Make-Believe as Iran Holds Trump & Israel to Fire
The US government continues dragging out terms of settlement with Iran, Israel continues invading, occupying and ethnically cleansing southern Lebanon and Gaza, and the Trump White House continues playing 'MAGA Greatest Hits' to its base. Their detachment from reality is becoming more palpable -...
-
NewsReal: Trump Says Iran Deal 'Close', But Can He 'Surrender' US Hegemony?
Another 'TACO Tuesday' came and went... by Thursday the US military was again 'locked and loaded' for another go at Iran... and by Saturday evening Trump was dangling another peace deal - 'for realz this time'. As American diplomacy erratically yo-yo's, in the real world, some oil tankers are…

NewsReal: Trump Goes to China
Deferred due to the US-Israeli war against Iran, Trump finally visited China last week, where he received an apparently 'warm' welcome from Xi Jinping, along with a stern warning: do not mess with Taiwan, and let us work to avoid the 'Thucydides Trap', wherein a dominant power inevitably wars…
more -
NewsReal: The Madness of King Donald
Caught in a trap by Iran, the gulf between what US president Trump wishes were true, and what is actually real, continues to grow. While the Strait of Hormuz remains impassable to the US Navy, its distant "blockade of Iran's blockade" is apparently taking effect, with billions of dollars' worth…

NewsReal: Energy Wars on the High Seas: Trump Admits "US Navy Like Pirates!"
Typically, the American president has blurted out 'the plain truth' about what his government is doing around the world - from the Caribbean to the Arctic to the Black Sea and Indian Ocean: behaving like pirates. This week we review, taking into account Richard Medhurst's excellent dot-connecting...
-
NewsReal: 'Assassination Attempt' Farce in DC as US Prepares 'Second Shot' at Defeating Iran
Three aircraft carriers in the Arabian Sea for the first time since March 2003 suggests another 'shock and awe' campaign is being considered. The 'ceasefire' between the US and Iran is holding, but for how much longer? Trump talks up his 'blockade of their blockade', but it's clear what is...
-
NewsReal: Dire Strait: Deciphering Trump's Crazy Messaging on Tense Iran Situation
It's not easy to do, and it's tempting to just 'turn it off', but we're all unfortunately doomed to have to endure Trump's erratic statements on Iran and wider geopolitics for the duration of this crisis (which he himself caused). For now a tentative ceasefire is holding, and further talks are...
-
NewsReal: Trump Card! US Blockades Iran's Blockade to Unblock Strait of Hormuz
If you were writing this for a Hollywood script, it would be rejected for being unrealistic. Trump's latest scheme to 'unblock the Strait of Hormuz' is almost certainly not going to work, but more importantly, what is the likelihood that hostilities will recommence between the US and Iran? Also,...
-
NewsReal: Trump's D-Day: Do or Die
A month into his "little excursion" in Iran, Trump's campaign of sustained airstrikes is yielding preposterous results: significant damage in Iran, but also in America's regional client-states, and also in key global supply chains. Every Monday he calms 'the markets' with assurances that the war…
more -
NewsReal: Iran War Winding Down or Escalating? Israel Leads Trump Into Quagmire
Trump's "short-term excursion" in Iran is going from bad to worse. And so are his incoherent positions on the situation and what to do about it. With gas prices jumping the world over, humanity is staring down the barrel of global food shortages and severe energy disruptions, while the US…
more -
NewsReal: USA & Israel Confident of 'Victory' Despite Strong Iranian Resistance
Something's gotta give. Iran is being practically carpet-bombed, resulting in widespread civilian destruction. Despite near-total regional censorship, satellite imagery and some video footage is documenting mild-to-strong 'hits' on US bases and other assets across the whole region. Trump assures…
more -
NewsReal: Operation Epic Fury: What Are The Americans Furious About?
One week into the US-Israeli attack on Iran, the mission has been extended from "4 days" to "4 weeks" to "4 months" to "as long as it takes." But what IS the mission? It was "regime change," but Iran is not "surrendering" despite its leadership being assassinated. In fact, surviving Iranian...
-
NewsReal: Historic Miscalculation? US & Israel 'Decapitate Iranian Regime', Yet Iran is Striking Back HARD
And so it begins. This time it isn't 'kayfabe' and 'negotiated strikes and counter-strikes'. The 'peace president', when announcing joint US-Israeli strikes against Iran on 28 February, said it would just take a few days, and gloated that he 'took out the regime' by targeting top Iranian...
-
NewsReal: US-Iran Stand-Off: Art of the Trumpian Deal, or War For Oil/Israel?
The 'major build-up' of US military forces in and around the Middle East sure makes it look like D-Day for 'war with Iran' is imminent. What people are overlooking, however, is that this is Trump doing his 'maximum pressure' routine with a view to 'deal-making', not blowing the world up to…

NewsReal: Epstein Epistemology: Why Trump Wants Epstein 'Revelations' To Go Away
It seems as if everyone who is reading and discussing 'the Epstein Files', most of which are emails exchanged between Jeffrey Epstein and the 'great and powerful', is assuming the worst from them: that Epstein himself, and his co-conspirators, engaged in child sex-trafficking and indulged in the...
-
NewsReal: What People Don't Understand About The Epstein Files
The Epstein Files, however redacted, selective, and incomplete they are, are sufficiently damning for all 'with eyes to see' to understand - properly, and, really, for the first time - that we are indeed lorded over by corrupt, knuckle-dragging, deranged 'elites'. As online sleuths connect dots,...
-
NewsReal: Epstein Files: Glimpse Into Sordid World of Degenerate 'Elites'
It isn't all of 'the files', and it certainly isn't the 'kompromat' Epstein collected on all the rich and famous he schmoozed with for three decades, but there's enough in the 'final tranche' of some three million US law enforcement documents spanning multiple investigations into Epstein and his...
-
NewsReal: Trump Unveils Gaza 'Beach Resort' at WEF, Weathers Minneapolis ICE Storm Back Home
Amidst growing protests in Minneapolis against the presence of "Trump's enforcers," more mayhem as ICE agents kill a SECOND local liberal disrupting their hunt for illegals. Are Americans losing their appetite for 'mass deportations'? Or will they 'follow the penguin to the mountains', as DHS...
-
NewsReal: Does Trump's 'Scramble for Greenland' Spell End of NATO?
Trump's Greenland grab has finally got the Euros asking geostrategic questions about the wisdom of over-dependence on American 'military protection'. But is it 'too little, too late'? They insist there's no way Greenland will become American territory, but Trump has issued tariffs against his...
-
NewsReal: Desperate Acts: Venezuela, Russia, China, Iran - America Lashes Out as Its Empire Falters
The United States is truly 'off the leash' now. Those who were 'sleeping' before Trump came along and rudely shook them awake are horrified to discover that the US government is an aggressive, imperialistic machine that wants control over vast resources and is prepared to do whatever it takes to...
-
NewsReal: Trump Abducts Maduro, 'Takes' Venezuela's Oil, Says US 'Will Run' Country
Can the US just do that? Yes, apparently, it can! It's regime change, but not quite as we know it. With the democratically-elected leader of Venezuela taken to the USA 'to answer for his crimes', Trump has dropped all pretense and admitted that he wants the US to 'run Venezuela' because he wants...
-
NewsReal: TPUSA's AmFest 2025 & The Battle For Christians' Souls
The annual Turning Point USA 'America Fest' took place this week, complete with big name appearances from Right-wing pundits, pastors and politicians, celebrity cameos and gaudy spectacle. To the organization's credit, however, it honored Charlie Kirk's legacy by including Tucker Carlson on the...
-
NewsReal: Oil Tanker Attacks on 'Shadow Fleets', Massacre of Jews in Sydney
An Iranian/Venezuelan "shadow fleet" oil tanker seized by the US military somewhere off the coast of Venezuela. Five oil tankers, "part of the Russian shadow fleet," blown up, sunk, or badly damaged in the Black Sea and off the west African coast. "Ukraine" claims 3 of the latter, but who's…

NewsReal: New US National Strategy, the End of Global Hegemony, and Euro Delusions
"A pretty big turnaround," the Russian government called it. "Aligned with Russia," is how Atlanticist media is describing it. The updated US National Security Strategy is, on paper, something of a 'clean break' with the the United States' past . No longer seeking 'full-spectrum dominance' and...
-
NewsReal: Why Does Trump Want to Regime Change Venezuela?
If it's not really about the drugs, and if it's not really the socialism that bothers him, why is Trump preparing to launch yet another American regime change war against Venezuela? The recent election of 'democratic socialist' Zohran Mamdani as New York City mayor is nowhere near as 'shocking'…
more -
NewsReal: Trump Peace Plan Shows Ukraine War's Still a Racket
Trump's 28-point peace plan for Ukraine was announced last week. The Euros say it's "capitulation to Russia," Kiev says it's under pressure from the White House to accept it, "or else," and the Russians say they'll "consider it." Though more realistic than anything proffered by Western leaders…
more -
NewsReal: Epstein Files: Trump Desperate to Put 'America First' Genie Back in Bottle
They say dead men tell no tales. Not true in this case. Epstein continues looming large over Trump's second term, with The Epstein Files™ - and specifically the demand to publish them, combined with the efforts to selectively 'massage' and 'tailor' them - practically dictating the schedule and...
-
NewsReal: Jan 6th Pipe-Bomber... Was a Female COP?
In a development that should surprise no one, a Blaze investigation has discovered the (probable) identity of the person placing the pipe-bombs around the US Capitol building on the eve of the January 6th "insurrection" - a female United States Capitol Police officer (who subsequently joined the...
-
NewsReal: Neutralize Tucker! Berserker Reactions to Carlson-Fuentes Interview
His surprise appearance on Tucker Carlson's show is something of a 'marker event' in the meteoric rise of polemic right-wing commentator Nicholas Fuentes to American political prominence. In the end it was a civil conversation fleshing out background to his controversial takes, and general...
-
NewsReal: War & Peace: The Method Behind Trump's Ukraine And China Flip-Flops
From "500% tariffs against China" and "Tomahawks for Ukraine" to "a comprehensive trade deal" and "imminent peace with Russia," a day is a long time in Trumpian politics. Besides driving us all mad with endlessly contradictory Truth Social posts, can we figure out what the American president…

NewsReal: Peacemaker Trump Ends 3,000 Years of War in the Mid-East!
Or so he'd like you to believe. Trump's bullsh*t reached unprecedented heights last week with his theatrical 'Mid-East Peace Deal' in Egypt, which was really just a declaration of intent signed by the leaders of parties other than Israel and Hamas, and in which they expressed their desire to see...
-
NewsReal: Trump's Gaza Peace Plan: Doomed to Fail?
Here we go again. 2 years on from "Israel's 9/11," public and international pressure has once again brought pressure to bear on an immediate settlement of Israel's 'war against Hamas'. Netanyahu, on his 4th visit to Washington DC this year, has sort-of agreed to Trump's peace plan, which would…
