War is Coming; NATO Wants to Send 250,000 Troops into Ukraine - Martin Armstrong (English)

Interview with Martin Armstrong of Armstrong Economics, centered on his recent newsletter titled "War is Coming." Armstrong discusses the growing geopolitical tensions, particularly NATO's push to send troops to Ukraine and its apparent trajectory toward open conflict with Russia. He critiques current Western leadership, calling it incompetent and overly aligned on a destructive agenda. We focus on the European economy—especially Germany—which Armstrong argues is in a state of deep decline due to the climate agenda, COVID policies, and sanctions on Russia. He predicts a depression-level downturn, with broader implications for global economic stability.

It's not me it's the Dutch executive - Hoger Beroep David Icke, Raad van State

Icke mag sinds een demonstratie vóór vrede waar hij was uitgenodigd te spreken ruim twee jaar geleden, het gehele Schengen gebied niet meer in. In deze uitzending legt Ickes vertegenwoordiger Jeroen Pols uit wat vooraf ging en wat er vandaag in deze beroepszaak gaat gebeuren.

Potkaars kreeg toestemming om de opening van de zitting en de pleidooien van Pols en de Staat op te nemen. Van de advocaat namens de Staat mochten géén beelden opgenomen worden en ook van het verloop van de verdere zitting mochten geen opnamen gemaakt worden.

Na de zitting sprak ik opnieuw met Pols in een samenvatting van wat er in de zittingszaal gebeurde.

Massimo Mazzucco - Trump plans for Mars, and the Lunar Hoax (English)

US president Trump on January 20, 2025 said: “And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars”, reminiscent of John F. Kennedy stating his 1961 ambition to take man to the Moon and back. Italian filmmaker Massimo Mazzucco meticulously analyzed official NASA documentation on the Apollo lunar program that landed man on the moon in 1969, and concluded in his 2017 documentary ‘American Moon’, that the missions to the moon can only have been staged. Would Trump be aware?

In this interview we discuss with Mazzucco the Trump ambitions for Mars and for transparency, where mrs. Anna Paulina Luna (what’s in a name) will be leading the Task Force On The Declassification Of Federal Secrets. Excluding however, the ambiguity surrounding lunar missions. I ask Mazzucco how he views Trump, Musk and mrs. Luna, in light of his research into the Apollo program and what would be his advise to president Trump.

The clips opening and closing each Potkaars Podcast episode feature smoke and mirrors, and how you proverbially have to cut through them and be your own journalist if you want to get to the truth. A great starting point for learning about the Lunar missions is the American Moon documentary made by Mazzuco that can be seen online here.

Follow the Science visited a conference called “Lack of Scientific Freedom; Cause Consequences and Cures” in Copenhagen oct. 24 and 25 2022.

Before they went after Assange, they locked out Wikileaks from using their crowd funding platforms. The one that did not censor remained; Bitcoin.

The Plot to Seize Russia - Martin Armstrong (English)

Historian and Economist Martin Armstrong, as a computer programmer created the system called socrates that analyses history, current affairs and the flow of money and extrapolates to what may lie ahead. It gave him the nickname ‘the Forecaster’ and a documentary that to this day is forbidden in the USA. Armstrong through FOIA retreived information from the Clinton Library about what happened after the Soviet Union fell. He’s written that down in a book called ‘the Plot to Seize Russia. In this interview we discuss his upcoming book, the current state of collapsing global finance and the inescapable war on Russia as a result of that..

Alfred de Zayas is a law professor at the Geneva School of Diplomacy and served as a UN Independent Expert on International Order 2012-18. He is the author of ten books including “Building a Just World Order”. De Zayas is also a returning guest to Potkaars.

It is 26 September 2022 when we speak again while a referendum on secession is taking place in eastern Ukraïne regions. I re-invited mr. De Zayas, to learn his assessment on the validity of the referendum and of the actions by Ukraïne, Russia, the EU and the US under international law and treaties. We recorded this interview the day before the Nord Stream I and II pipelines were blown up in the Baltic sea. In this conversation Alfred de Zayas discusses the use of coercive measures as deployed by the US.

Djamila and Terry met in Switzerland twenty years ago, when Terry was already homeschooling her two children and Djamila was having second thoughts about sending her son to kindergarten. Terry’s educational view, life-embracing approach and the open, happy and exploring nature of her children gave Djamila the courage to homeschool her own children.

Julians vrijheid is jouw vrijheid - Verslag van Assange rallies in Europa (Engels)

Geen van de organisatoren had ooit durven dromen dat het zo'n groot succes zou worden.

In deze podcast interviewt Potkaars de organisatoren die beschrijven hoe schijnbaar uit het niets een stel niet-gelieerde, in Europa gevestigde Assange-campagnevoerders online samenkwamen en het organiseerden.
