The most important video you may ever watch!

Thanks to Consortium News, we now have access to an outstanding interview with Patrick Henningsen, one of the world’s most astute and well‑informed geopolitical journalists. This two‑hour conversation deserves our full attention, as it ranges widely across the forces shaping the present crisis. The interview is necessarily long and highly explicatory. Henningsen provides essential background on how this war emerged, who the major players were—and are—and why the Epstein files matter so profoundly to understanding the depth of corruption in the halls of power.

Like so many wars, this one carries from its earliest stages the potential to spin out of control, up to and including nuclear escalation. The US/Israel military junta is undertaking a last‑ditch, winner‑take‑all attempt at global dominance. They are desperate. They have already shown they are determined to win at any cost.

What is most alarming is the utter contempt these power elites display toward the populations they are supposed to serve. They play their games with a pathological disregard for human life and long‑term consequence. We like to imagine that wars end cleanly—yet they never do. Their costs and consequences reverberate through societies for generations. These are the mad dogs of war and empire, willing to sacrifice friend and foe alike to achieve their aims. They serve nothing but their own abject megalomania.
