Soon-to-be-Shah Reza Pahlavi on the need to prevent the destruction of Iranian cultural treasures by Islamists.
Reza Pahlavi@PahlaviReza

هم‌میهنان عزیزم، حفاظت از میراث فرهنگی و طبیعی ایران وظیفه‌ای ملی و همیشگی برای همه ماست. این وظیفه در شرایط کنونی بیش از هر زمان دیگری اهمیت یافته است؛ چرا که این نگرانی وجود دارد که فرصت‌طلبان از وضعیت انقلابی کشور یا از برخی آشفتگی‌های احتمالی تا زمان تثبیت دولت ملی در فردای براندازی سوءاستفاده کنند و در پی غارت، تخریب یا تصرف میراث ملی ایران برآیند. متأسفانه نمونه چنین رخدادهایی را در سال ۱۳۵۸ تجربه کرده‌ایم؛ زمانی که بخشی قابل توجه از چشم‌اندازهای طبیعی و آثار تاریخی ایران دچار آسیب و نابودی شد. از شما تقاضا دارم برای پاسداری از میراث فرهنگی و محیط‌زیست کشور، به «یگان میراث ایران» در گارد جاویدان بپیوندید. دستور کار این یگان بسیار ساده است: هر یک از شما، در هر کجای ایران که هستید، با دوستان و آشنایان خود تشکلی محلی، حتی کوچک،‌ برای حفاظت از یک اثر ملی که گمان می‌کنید ممکن است در معرض تهدید قرار گیرد، تشکیل دهید. هم‌میهنان خارج از کشور نیز می‌توانند با مشارکت در تأمین هزینه‌های احتمالی، یا از طریق اطلاع‌رسانی و آگاه‌سازی، به این یگان بپیوندند و در این تلاش ملی سهیم باشند. من نیز، به‌عنوان یک ایرانی، به «یگان میراث ایران» خواهم پیوست. این یگان تنها محدود به شرایط انقلابی نیست، بلکه می‌تواند در چارچوب یک ساختار فراگیر، به نهادی دائمی برای مراقبت و پاسداری از میراث ملی ایران تبدیل شود. به یاد داشته باشیم که هر آنچه می‌کنیم برای ایران است. ایران همه آن چیزی است که داریم؛ و پاسداری از میراث فرهنگی و زیستی آن، عهدی است که با جان‌فدایان انقلاب شیروخورشید بسته‌ایم. پاینده ایران، رضا پهلوی

Tucker Carlson is now defending and even declaring a hero Oswald Mosley, the Vidkun Quisling of Britain. Seriously?!
Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV)@TheMilkBarTV

🚨 Tucker Carlson disgustingly defends 1930s British fascist Oswald Mosley - who was so aligned with the Nazis that he married at Joseph Goebbels’ house in Berlin, with Adolf Hitler as a guest - even calling him “patriotic.” Carlson claimed Mosley’s “only crime was being the opposition” to Churchill, and that this is why he was arrested during World War II. To be clear: Mosley was a full-blown fascist. He received financial support from Mussolini, maintained close ties to Nazi Germany, and led the British Union of Fascists’ Blackshirts - a paramilitary-style group inspired by Mussolini’s movement, known for violence and for targeting Jewish communities. Mosley had previously served as a Member of Parliament from 1918 to 1931, initially as a Conservative and later as a Labour MP. However, after founding the British Union of Fascists in 1932 and embracing fascism, he was never again electorally viable or close to holding office. He was detained in 1940 under Defence Regulation 18B because the British government considered him a security risk with sympathies toward enemy powers - not because he was a credible political opponent. For Carlson to portray Mosley - an outspoken, Hitler-admiring fascist - as a war hero (which Tucker exaggerates), and to claim he was persecuted purely for political reasons, is deeply disturbing. The question has to be asked: does Tucker Carlson despise Churchill so much that he’s willing to defend a Nazi-aligned fascist like Mosley - or does he genuinely believe a Nazi-aligned fascist like Mosley was a patriot?

This is really damning.
M.A. Rothman@MichaelARothman

𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚.𝗔𝗜 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗝𝗢𝗘 𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗡𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗘. Joe Kent goes on Tucker Carlson. Within minutes — not hours, minutes — the same clip, same caption, same outrage floods hundreds of accounts simultaneously. HonestReporting.AI Labs tracked every amplification event in real time, and the data is damning. The trigger quote — 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 — was clipped and posted across hundreds of accounts almost simultaneously. Not after it trended. During the broadcast. Real breaking news takes time to spread organically. This had a running start. Who amplified it? Look at the coalition: Russian state TV (RT). Iranian state media through HispanTV. Hamas-aligned Quds News Network. Turkish state broadcaster TRT. Sputnik Brasil. And simultaneously — Jackson Hinkle, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Max Blumenthal. Russia, Iran, Hamas, and MAGA dissidents. All posting the same message. At the same time. When does that happen naturally? It doesn't. The charts tell the story precisely. Within 2 to 4 hours of the Tucker broadcast, tracked amplification events spiked to 30 — dominated by MAGA dissident amplifiers and Pro-Palestinian/Islamist networks firing in parallel. The second chart shows how far the narrative traveled from what Kent actually said. By the time the amplification cycle was complete, the message had escalated from Kent's original claim all the way to "Israel controls America" — an approximately 85-90% departure from source material. That is not interpretation. That is narrative laundering. The rollout wasn't spontaneous. Kent resigned. Tucker booked him within hours. Real whistleblowers are chaotic. They call journalists from parking lots. They don't have a media tour lined up before the ink dries on their resignation letter. And here's what got buried in all of it: from 2020 to 2024, Joe Kent publicly and repeatedly called for destroying Iran's nuclear AND ballistic capabilities. That record was almost completely absent from the amplified conversation. Narrative laundering doesn't only determine what to amplify. It determines what to erase. The FBI was already investigating Kent. He resigned to control the narrative. The speed, the uniformity, and the foreign state amplification are not organic. This was a coordinated information operation — and the people pushing it included both foreign adversaries and Americans who should know better.

Wouldn't that be crazy if NATO fails us but the Arab nations of the Middle East become our new allies? It's happening right now, folks. NATO better get straight because if we abandon them, they're in deep trouble. All that money they've been pumping into their socialist programs will now have to start going for defense without Big Brother USA having their backs.

@WallStreetApes Elon has talked a lot about the importance of reducing the importance of follower counts. I love Elon, but that makes no sense whatsoever. It's like saying TV ratings shouldn't matter, or box office receipts shouldn't matter, or actual sales of Teslas shouldn't matter.

I don’t think bots are the main problem because social media has always had a bot problem I think the main issue is not just X, but every social media company abandoned the importance of follower counts Companies now decide what’s shown instead of users with shares and follows

🇺🇸🇮🇷 65% of Americans think Trump will order a ground war in Iran. Only 7% actually want it. 77% of Republicans support the airstrikes, just 6% of Democrats do. 55% oppose sending any ground troops at all. Meanwhile, plans for troops near Iran’s coast and Kharg Island (90% of its oil exports) are already being discussed. Source: Reuters

I have been saying that we are seeing the European countries and British Isles paying for severing their national commitment to God. Breaking covenants is nasty business Also why Trump publicly declaring America to God is a much bigger deal than people realize. He may be an unbeliever, but he understands the gravity of national covenants with Yahweh

@RachelRaeRae247 @elonmusk Larger accounts are getting nothing either, as evidenced by the large number of conservative influencers in this thread. It's a lot better than last fall, but the whole thing is broken.

@BrandonStraka @elonmusk 80% is about right. I was getting 50 million views a week in the summer (and I know it was "high quality", whatever that means, because I was constantly getting booked on cable shows directly off content I posted on X). All that tanked in August.

@elonmusk I’m noticing that engagement is fairly typical on my posts, but actual impressions are down like 75-80%. Even posts with 5K reposts and 20K likes are getting 100K impressions. I used to get 100K impressions on posts with 40 reposts and 500 likes. lol

Concerning this endless parade of charlatans who incessantly mouth the mantra that Israel controls our government, are they liars, or just stupid? And before you say I'm crass for pointedly asking this, consider the concerted damage these people do to the United States.
