Tucker Carlson is back in Moscow to interview Lavrov. Carlson's message is that Americans are killing Russians in Russia, but, unlike the Cuban missile crisis, there is no communication between the White House and the Kremlin to avoid all-out war.

The concluding lyrics in this popular Christmas song has taken on a new meaning for me when I understood when and why it was written:

"Do You Hear What I Hear?" is a song written in October 1962, with lyrics by Noël Regney and music by Gloria Shayne. The pair, married at the time, wrote it as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis . . . Shayne stated in an interview years later that neither could personally perform the entire song at the time they wrote it because of the emotions surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis: "Our little song broke us up. You must realize there was a threat of war at the time".

Pray for peace, people everywhere . . .

Wednesday´s Live was not quite ... with Alexander Mercouris

My fellow Duranians,
Wednesdays are Alexander´s Day with us, where we look forward to his live stream with us and just ask all sorts of things, concerning from geo- politics to cultural queries.
Sadly, as most of us know, Locals decided to do their thing again and wreck our beloved weekly, BUT
Alexander and I took advantage of the situation and turned the negative into the opposite.

Enjoy this quickly arranged substitute

Alexander Mercouris Live Stream This Week Will Be On Friday 24th April 2026

My friends, as you all know, for technical reasons it proved impossible to do our weekly Live Stream yesterday. Unfortunately the systems failed us again.

Firstly, I would like to thank you all of you for your patience and kindness, even as a promised Live Stream had to be called off.

Secondly, I particularly want to thank Zarael for stepping into the breach, making it possible for us (him and me) to do an excellent programme together for the Duran Community on Locals when the Live Stream should have taken place.

Thirdly, I am going to make a further attempt to do the Live Stream on Friday. Hopefully by then the technical issues will be resolved. I look forward to speaking to you all then.

Fractured Iran or fractured Trump? w/ Robert Barnes (Live)

Here we have Martin Armstrong pretending to be stupid and telling us half the story.

The remainder of this story is the fact that the UAE has a negligible UAE passport-owning population. In the past 60 years, they have exported some 39000 million barrels of oil and some 3000 million tons of natural gas. With oil at $50, that corresponds to $1,900 billion. And they want to borrow $20bn? Give us a break!

In view of this, why do they need to borrow money? The only plausible explanation is that they have been propping up the US Treasure market, the current AI bubble and much else. Their funds are essentially frozen as is the case for Iranian, Venezuelan, Russian, Iraqi and Libyan reserves.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
