  1. He is trying to become the new Alex Jones. He is recycling Jone’s secret society grift. Does he actually teach this stuff to his students instead of giving them real history? An example of real history would be “The History of Rome” podcast by Mike Duncan which was both entertaining and true at the same time.
  2. He is good at Youtube entertainment and makes interesting connections, but a big red flag went up for me when he used that word "illuminati". According to AI overview: "Predictive History" YouTuber: A person named Jiang Xueqin runs a YouTube channel titled "Predictive History" where he styles himself as "Professor Jiang". However, this individual appears to be a high school teacher and commentator rather than a university professor, and he has been criticized for presenting inaccurate, "delusional" content.
  3. This video features a discussion between Judge Andrew Napolitano and Professor Jeffrey Sachs regarding the geopolitical implications of the conflict between the United States and Iran, specifically asking if it marks the end of American hegemony (1:18). Sachs argues that current US actions represent a catastrophic collapse of governance and competence, driven by a war of naked aggression chosen by a small, irrational group surrounding President Trump (7:27-8:30). Key Discussion Points: Delusional Leadership: Sachs asserts that President Trump's claims of successful negotiations are false and delusional, pointing to immediate denials from Iranian officials (4:25-5:00) and bizarre statements about jointly controlling the Strait of Hormuz with the Ayatollah (18:00-19:00). Israeli Aggression: The Netanyahu government is described as a fascist regime aiming for territorial expansion, such as annexing southern Lebanon (6:52-7:15). Economic Consequences: The conflict has caused significant disruption, leading to a collapse in Asian stock markets and soaring energy prices due to the destruction of infrastructure (10:29-10:40, 24:45-25:15). Collapse of Process: Sachs highlights the lack of rational review, deliberation, or Congressional oversight in these foreign policy decisions, contrasting it with the systematic strategic planning he observed in China (13:00-16:00). Call to Action: Sachs urges members of Congress to adhere to the Constitution, reclaim their power to declare war, and act as responsible adults to halt this dangerous trajectory (29:34-30:10).
  4. ya, he sounds like he does interesting analysis in some areas, but I have also heard him mention secret societies and the "illuminati' which raises a big red flag.
  5. All this talk about whether Zionists are good or bad is yet another diversionionary and irrelevant distraction. For the sake of argument lets just assume that they are good. You know what? It is irrelevant. The relevant issue is that under International law and the UN Charter, force can only used used in self-defense against an “armed attack” or an “imminent threat”. Intelligent officials have asserted there is no evidence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. homeland or its forces prior to the strikes. Legal scholars classify this as a “crime of aggression”. Also, for everyone here, a more important issue is your standard of living is going to be dramatically reduced and you may actually be forced under threat of imprisonment to fight in an illegal war.
  6. According to one game theory analysis, Trump is going to eventually put ground troops in Iran. It seems plausible. Trump is reckless and desperate and Israeli will eventually trick him into it. Iran can’t be defeated by airpower. When this happens, everything changes. The troop numbers will quickly escalate and there will be a draft. This time next year, many on this forum could be fighting and dying in Iran. This generation is going to get an opportunity to see what the Vietnam war was all about and why it changed society forever. I also believe the reason Trump threatened to make Canada a 51st state was to give Canada heads-up that this time they won’t be allowed to accept draft dodgers.
  7. This video features Judge Andrew Napolitano interviewing Professor John Mearsheimer regarding the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran. The discussion focuses on how Iranian strategic patience is successfully undermining the impulsive actions of the Trump administration (0:07-1:32). Key Highlights: The Israel Lobby's Influence: Mearsheimer analyzes the 20th anniversary of his book with Stephen Walt, arguing the Israel lobby remains highly influential in driving US foreign policy toward conflict with Iran, despite changing public discourse (2:59-5:09). The War as a Disaster: Mearsheimer calls the war a "disaster" for the US, arguing it serves Israeli interests rather than American ones, and that President Trump was "dragged" into it (8:00-8:50). Strait of Hormuz Deadlock: Despite having a massive naval presence, the US cannot force open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's asymmetric capabilities hold all the cards, making this a winning strategy for Tehran (20:57-22:30). Russia and China's Gain: The conflict has boomed the Russian economy by keeping oil prices high and diverted US focus away from countering China in East Asia (12:48-14:26, 22:50-23:57). Nuclear Risks: If Iran pursues nuclear weapons following the war, Mearsheimer fears Israel might use its own nuclear weapons as a last resort (25:01-26:00). Cavalier Attitude Toward War: The professor critiques President Trump's casual remarks about the war being "fun," contrasting it with the immense human cost and the destruction of international law (30:26-32:00).
  8. Some interesting facts to ponder on the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the former Supreme Leader of Iran, who was recently killed in a joint U.S.-Israeli military operation on February 28, 2026. While he projected an image of "pious frugality," investigative reports following his death have estimated his personal financial empire to be worth between $100 billion and $200 billion, which would place him among the richest people in the world. Given these facts, wouldn’t this have made the Ayatollah a major stakeholder in the continuation and success of the Western capitialistic system? Why would he or any other wealthy leader in Iran want to destroy the West? When you ponder facts like this, you can start to see that we the public are sold nothing but propaganda by the news media. Behind the scenes, this is just a chess game being played for position by the power brokers. This is why I tend to believe Bolsen that the financial elites have the power to place limits on how far the conflict can go. But I don’t understand the underlying mechanics.
  9. Shahid Bolsen has an interesting take on this: “Regarding current tensions, the speaker asserts that the situation involving Iran's actions "is not going to be allowed to spin out of control" (16:39-16:47).He explains that this is because global capital interests require regional stability, and therefore, there is a controlled "escalation ladder" set by the international financial elite that limits how far conflicts can go (16:49-16:54).” It makes sense to me now why Trump is president. People scratch their head and ponder why such an arrogant fool could be president. But that is precisely why the Zionist billionaires put him in power. Because an arrogant fool can be controlled.
  10. In this video, Jeffrey Sachs provides a critical analysis of the escalating conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel. He argues that U.S. and Israeli actions have plunged the region into turmoil, characterized by a "brutal war of aggression" against Iran.Here are the key points discussed in the interview: Destruction and Escalation: Sachs highlights that the ongoing strikes have destroyed significant infrastructure in Iran, resulting in thousands of deaths and a severe economic catastrophe. He suggests this conflict could potentially lead to World War III due to the reckless actions of U.S. and Israeli leadership. Economic Crisis: The blockade of the Straits of Hormuz has caused the worst energy supply disruption in history, leading to spiking oil prices and a looming global economic crisis. Iran's Response: Iran's hardline stance, including closing the Straits of Hormuz and targeting U.S. bases, is framed as a response to an existential threat rather than simple aggression . Failed U.S. Strategy: Sachs criticizes the U.S. for misjudging Iran, drawing parallels to past failures in Vietnam and Iraq. He argues that the desire for "regime change" is delusional and that the American people oppose further direct military intervention Genocide Allegations: He strongly condemns Israeli military actions, describing their doctrine as indiscriminate killing of civilians and calling it a genocide in Gaza, which is now extending to Lebanon and Iran.
  11. This video features Colonel Douglas Macgregor discussing the current war in West Asia, specifically focusing on the escalating conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran. Macgregor argues that the situation is a direct result of American and Israeli actions, rather than Iranian aggression, and that the U.S. is not winning the conflict.
  12. This could be a critical turning point in the war. The chinese have succeeded in copying Zionist spiritual technology.
  13. If you drink too much water, it will kill you. More is not better.
  14. This is the beginning of a pointless argument. Do what you want.
  15. I tried Ketamine and got a severe body rash over my back legs and arms. I am going back to my rule – only natural substances. I will stick to Bufo, if I ever take it again.
  16. Much of that is just playing with concepts. That is the intellectualization. Looking at it from an “orange” perspective, pursuing a career is traveling a bumpy road and spiritual development gives you the shock absorbers.
  17. I had a successful career and retired early since I had accumulated enough wealth. Looking back at it, I would have made more money and been much happier if I had put spirituality first in my life. When you think about it, it’s a real no brainer. One mistake from your lower nature can cause serious losses. But I am talking about a real spiritual path that transforms you and not intellectualization.
  18. Anyone who is a good writer could dip into the vast Hindu literature and come up with a book containing borrowed wisdom and truth. But if it is written by someone of low character it will also contain unseen flaws for you to fall into. For example, if you read the Bhagavad Gita, you want to stick to one of the translations authored by self-realized masters like those of Yogananda, Chinmayananda, Sivananda, or Nikhilananda.
  19. The problem they are having is revealed in the language. I hate the word “pick up”. It’s like picking up a piece of garbage. And “approach” reminds me of a lion approaching a zebra. This is predatory language. Why not just get to know someone?
  20. Anyone who calls himself a "shaman" isn't a shaman. He is just appropriating a term from another culture. It also helps to dress up. Even Sadhguru has a robe and a turban.
  21. This is more likely than enlightenment: Additionally, the DEA notes that high doses of DXM can produce various side effects, such as: confusion inappropriate laughter agitation paranoia sensory changes, such as the feeling of floating overexcitability tiredness slurred speech sweating high blood pressure nausea vomiting involuntary eye movements https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/dxm-trip#side-effects
  22. I don't know why people are so surprised by grifters like Chopra. It's the normal. Finding someone who is real is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
  23. I don’t like spiral dynamics and reducing serious discussions into how colors relate to each other. I think psychedelics are hugely overrated here and I don’t believe they can awaken anyone.
  24. Shinzen Young couldn’t meditate until he practiced under a Vajrayana master in Japan. Tibetan Buddhists call it mind training. It takes dedicated effort to slow down the momentum of the mind. Most lazy westerners give up or fall under the delusion that taking a drug will do the same thing.
