A rare cosmic alignment between Washington and Moscow means a peace settlement in Ukraine is within reach, but there's a catch: Russia is winning on the battlefield so it wants a real peace deal, not another tricky 'ceasefire'. While saying he wants to "stop all the killing in Ukraine," Trump apparently has no problem using military force to bring Yemen's Houthis to heel. Multiple other Western (and Arabian) leaders have tried bombing them into submission before. What makes Trump think it...

Mayhem in Syria this weekend as hundreds - and possibly thousands - of Alawite Syrians are slaughtered by the new 'diverse, jihad-reformed' Western-backed regime in Damascus. Although the spark was apparently armed resistance by the local population against 'policing' incursions by HTS militia, their brutal response of collective punishment was beyond the pale. Qui bono? The usual suspects. And the prognosis is terrible for the entire East Mediterranean/Levant region. Also in this NewsReal,...

Well, he had that coming. The extraordinary showdown in the Oval Office of the White House last Friday between President Trump, Vice-President Vance, and Ukrainian President Zelensky appears to have killed the agreement between the US government and Kiev for US corporate interests to 'buy into' Ukrainian natural resources and thus have a vested interest in defending Ukraine's interests in the upcoming peace talks with Russia. This week on NewsReal, we analyze the row (caused by Zelensky, by...

Trump talks peace with Putin over Ukraine: is this the end for the worst European war since WW2? Meanwhile, JD Vance's speech in Munich stuns the stewards of 'the Western Order', who aren't used to being lectured on democracy and human rights. RFK Jr and Tulsi Gabbard are confirmed as HHS Secretary and DNI, signalling likely further significant transformations to the US government. Running Time: 02:13:30 Download: MP3 — 122 MB

All week long, US government agency USAID's 'charity work' has been laid bare, revealing (to those who've never seen it before) rank corruption at the heart of the US empire. Next week, the Federal Reserve? The Pentagon? Or will this 'line-by-line auditing' of the US government's bloated budget be limited to relatively tame items like small grants for 'trans operas'? If the Trump Avengers are serious about it, there are trillion$ to go! In the meantime, what will conducting such open-heart...

Two air accidents a couple of days apart, one in the heart of Washington DC, the other in Philadelphia... one may have been an accident, but both? Also on this NewsReal, tense times in the Senate as Trump's MAGA nominations - RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel - are grilled, and trouble on the horizon for empire-lovers as Trump's tariffs kick off in earnest.

Week one of Trump's second term has been a doozy! This week on NewsReal, we look at the good, the bad, and the ugly developments in Trump's 'tornado' of activity. Internationally, with his shocking insistence on returning to "100% tariffs" rather than so-called free trade, and that Denmark "hand over Greenland" to the USA while "Canada has no sovereignty so it may as well become the 51st US state," Trump appears determined to end NATO and return to 19th century 'pre-globalization' trade. And...

The world awaits the return of Donald Trump as president of the USA. Will the champion of free speech stop the banning of social media app TikTok? Assuming he wants to, can he stop Israel's genocide of Palestinians? Running Time: 01:40:26 Download: MP3 — 92 MB

Two major brush fires in the Greater Los Angeles Area have turned suburbs into war zones, and current weather conditions mean they could continue burning for another week. Amid reports of arson, looting and incompetence, many are wondering whether this natural disaster was entirely natural. Meanwhile the British government is still feeling the heat over its handling of the 'grooming gangs' scandal, the French government is trying to silence Candace Owens for digging into the past of France's...

Pure coincidence that two trucks were rented by two military guys and used to commit terror attacks in two US cities late on New Year's Eve? We think not! This week on NewsReal, Joe, Niall and guest Adam review the farce of an 'investigation' into the sickening 'crowd-plow' in New Orleans - blamed on 'ISIS' - and the equally nonsensical explanations for why an active-duty Green Beret super-soldier rented a Cybertruck and detonated it outside Trump Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. If it looks...
