Financial expert and forecaster Martin Armstrong talks about tariffs, what role they played in the time of the great depression and on their purpose and effect today. On our global economic outlook, especially the US and Europe. We talk about lawfare, freedom of the press and how war may be unavoidable unless we keep talking to each other. Martin talks about the new Forecaster documentary and even Hollywood movie about his life's work being made. There's a cycle to everything.
Read MoreIcke 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.

Read MoreUS 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.

Read More"Waar we hier mee te maken hebben, is een zeer ernstig probleem. Het is radicalisering en extremisme dat zich in onze academische instellingen heeft geïnstitutionaliseerd, Ze worden betaald door de belastingbetaler, ze zijn bedoeld voor algemeen onderwijs en onderzoek, ze worden nu gekaapt door geradicaliseerde groepen". - interview met Laurens Buijs (Engels gesproken)
Read MoreIn dit interview in drie delen vertelt Teun van Sambeek over het 1CoinH project (één munt per uur). Een digitale munt, die de belofte in zich heeft van een systeem met echt onvoorwaardelijk basisinkomen, als community munt die wereldwijd schaalbaar en uitwisselbaar is.
Read MoreFollow the Science visited a conference called “Lack of Scientific Freedom; Cause Consequences and Cures” in Copenhagen oct. 24 and 25 2022. What we heard there blew our mind: From scientists receiving death threats to scientists being attacked, fired and censored. It became quintessential when we ourselves came under attack by the organisers using the samen tools on preventing us from publishing as they discussed during the sessions. What’s going on?
Read MoreBefore they went after Assange, they locked out Wikileaks from using their crowd funding platforms. The one that did not censor remained; Bitcoin. There’s a special relationship between the early adopters of Bitcoin and Julian Assange. Stella Assange, Julian’s wife, and Gabriel Shipton, his brother, appeared as guest speakers at the Bitcoin Amsterdam conference October 12th in Amsterdam. In this report we first see Dutch activist Djamila le Pair interview Gabriel about recent developments in the case of Assange, in front of the information booth she was allowed to host in the exhibition hall. Followed by a part of Stella’s address in the main auditorium, as taken from the live stream.
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..
Read MoreAlfred 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. The last time we spoke was the day before Russia took its military action in Ukraïne in February. 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.
Read More"Children learn, always and everywhere" is a series of conversations on home education with (former) homeschooling mothers from around the world. First guest is Terry Kraettli, from New Zealand. 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.
Read MoreGeen van de organisatoren had ooit durven dromen dat het zo'n groot succes zou worden. De Free Assange Wave in Brussel begon met een panelsessie op vrijdagavond 22 april 2022 en werd de volgende dag voortgezet met een protestdemonstratie met spraakmakende sprekers en toegewijde artiesten. 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.
Read MoreOp 23 maart 2022 trouwden Julian Assange en Stella Moris in Her Majesty’s Belmarsh Prison, de zwaarst bewaakte gevangenis in Engeland. Assange zit daar sinds 11 april 2019 opgesloten, in afwachting van twee juridische procedures: een beslissing over zijn uitlevering aan de Verenigde Staten en over de mogelijkheid tegen de Verenigde Staten in hoger beroep te gaan.
In Den Haag 'vierden' we het huwelijk tegelijkertijd mee, op steenworp afstand van het Nederlandse ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, dat zich nog altijd in stilzwijgen hult over de vervolging van deze politieke gevangene. Nederland heeft sinds kort zijn eigen politieke gevangenen. Djamila le Pair constateert dat de (ooit symbolische) leus 'Wij zijn allemaal Assange' nu heel hard werkelijkheid aan het worden is.
Alfred de Zayas doceert internationaal recht aan de Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations. Hij is expert op het gebied van mensenrechten en internationaal recht en onafhankelijk VN-expert op het gebied van internationale orde. Hij is de auteur van zijn nieuwe boek ‘Building a just world order’. We praten over het recht op zelfbeschikking en afscheiding, zoals vastgelegd in het handvest van de Verenigde Naties. De Zayas geeft zijn ongecensureerde kijk op de NAVO, VN, EU en de OVSE. We bespreken de erkenning gisteren door Rusland van Donetsk en Lugansk in Oekraïne en de implicaties daarvan. De Zayas neemt ons mee terug in de tijd naar 1989 met Michail Gorbatsjov tot nu met Vladimir Putin, bij het uitleggen van de situatie tussen Oekraïne en Rusland.
