Hakeem Jeffries climbs the political ladder because he engages in dirty deeds with the world’s worst people. Being called a monkey gives him an easy out. The presence of a Black face in a high place is still rarely worth celebrating or defending.

Iran’s leadership has concluded that this war cannot be settled at a negotiating table. In this episode, recorded 8 September 2026, Pepe Escobar — reporting from Seoul — and Zulfiqar Ali lay out how every diplomatic off-ramp brokered by Pakistan collapsed, why Tehran has shifted from a defensive to an offensive posture, and what that means for the US naval blockade, the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Iran war.
Zulfiqar Ali reports, from sources inside Iran’s power structures, that North Korea has delivered a cache of stealth underwater attack drones to Iran through a corridor involving China and Pakistan — and that the decision to go on the offensive was cleared by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, President Pezeshkian, Speaker Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Araghchi. This is source-based reporting and is not independently verified; it is presented and labelled as such throughout. Escobar assesses what the American counter-response could look like, why Russia and China are now backing Iran with more than diplomacy, and what a strategic defeat in West Asia and Ukraine at the same time would mean for American power.
Pepe Escobar is a veteran geopolitical correspondent and a founder of this channel, reporting this week from Seoul and travelling to Moscow. Zulfiqar Ali is a commentator with long-standing sources across Iran and Pakistan. Transition Protocol is an independent, source-driven geopolitics and economics channel — we tell you what is confirmed, what is developing, and what is a single source, every time.

The Strait of Hormuz ultimately places Trump in a dilemma of choosing between only two ways to lose: to forgo it and bury his career, or to go through with it and bury the hegemony he claims to be preserving.

On August 29, 2026, Icelanders delivered a verdict that carried an uncomfortable implication for Brussels. By 52.8 percent to 47.2 percent, they rejected the proposal to resume EU accession negotiations. The result was not a rejection of Europe. It was a vote for retaining control.

Three creative miracles here:
1. The life of Sonny Rollins
2. The unprecedented way Sonny documented his life…including among other things EVERY practice session throughout his long career
3. The new biography of Sonny by Aidan Levy which gathers the superabundance of Rollins material into a fascinating page turner that goes deep into the creative life of one of the music’s grand masters.
A must for Sonny Rollins fans, musicians, jazz lovers, and everyone interested in the creative process.

All across the world, campaigners are building resistance to US spy tech company Palantir. Here in the UK, we have been demanding that Palantir’s controversial NHS contract is dropped. But our campaign is just one part of a much bigger global fight. |

The destruction of the healthcare system that Palestinians can access is by no means limited to Gaza or the West Bank.
Alongside the arrests of doctors in the West Bank, a campaign has been launched in the media against doctors who are Palestinian citizens of Israel and work in Israeli hospitals.

For many months now, I’ve watched Dr. Richard Wolff slowly advance his thesis that the Outlaw US Empire in an attempt to halt its decline having realized it cannot fulfill the Wolfowitz Doctrine or the plans laid out in Joint Vision 2010 or Joint Vision 2020 to attain full spectrum dominance of the world—become the sole Colonial Nation exercising hegemonic control over the entire planet—has adopted or perhaps retrogressed to attain what’s now known as the Colby Doctrine after Elbridge Colby, the U.S. Under Secretary of War for Policy, that was published within the National Security Strategy on 4 December 2025.

The Leipzig incident exposed something more troubling than the incident itself: the confidence with which German and European authorities seem to approach the possibility of a direct confrontation with Russia.

For generations, the rule for Black workers in the United States has been “last hired, first fired.” In the Black city of Gary, Indiana, it’s now “the last place where the lights came back on.”

Theresa Leisgang spent over ten years reporting on environmental and human rights issues as a journalist, travelling for magazines and researching for her book, in places where the effects of the climate crisis are already an existential threat to livelihoods. She has interviewed people from the Amazon region to the Arctic, from South Africa to eastern Brandenburg, and had many conversations with those who have not given up hope despite it all.

Left-wing media outlet The Canary and Workers’ Party leader George Galloway have both had their bank accounts closed by LLoyds Banking Group without explanation. Given they are critics of western imperialism and Israel’s genocide in Gaza, I think we can all work out what’s happening here.

On Aug. 26, a glacier collapsed high on the Nepali side of the Himalayan range, sending a wall of ice, rock, mud and water down the river valleys straddling the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. About 26 miles of road were wiped out, leaving helicopters as the only means of reaching survivors. As of Sept. 4, Nepal’s death toll had passed 900, with more than 4,000 people missing; on the Chinese side, 16 have been confirmed dead and 546 are reported missing.
This is the disaster that Laura Bicker, the BBC’s China correspondent, chose to report as follows: “Shocking footage isn’t being shown in China — and we know little about victims there.”
