Hamza
Hamza@HowidyHamza·
I am not sure how such news passed without proper notice. But Hamas today refused to start disarming for the entry of the new Gaza technocratic committee. On another note, the countries that pledged to donate money to the board of Peace and the reconstruction of Gaza are still hesitant given Hamas's control over the Strip and the war in Iran. (Only US, UAE, and Morocco have funded so far out of 10 countries pledged funds). Hamas is blocking the rebuilding of Gaza since the ceasefire, and the absolute silence about this is something no short of shameful.

🚨 Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf is posting in perfect English, with memes, hashtags & emojis, straight from CALIFORNIA. IranWire just published an article claiming that Ghalibaf's X account is run by ex-advisor Meysam Zamanabadi, living in Glendora, LA for a decade. Meysam is the son of one of the Islamic Republic’s first intelligence censors, the guy who shut down journalists right after the Revolution. Even after moving to America, he was still getting 40 million Tomans (~$11,000) every month from Tehran, wired in foreign cash through a shady Ferdowsi Square exchange. His dad’s old colleague funneled another 30 million from every official check straight to Meysam’s family. This is the same guy who helped pick Ghalibaf’s current top advisor, and who presents himself as “PhD in Media Psychology” from a U.S. university. The slick propaganda style you have been seeing in his posts is not Ghalibaf. It's Iranian regime's ghostwriter in California. The regime’s loudest voice is being run from the country it claims to hate. Source: iranwire.com/en/features/15…

A leaked internal survey confirms how many Iranians inside Iran oppose the regime. it isn’t just 90%, as I told Konstanin on @triggerpod, it’s 92% The survey was conducted by the Iranian Students’ Polling Agency in November 2025, commissioned by the presidential office under Pezeshkian. The survey was intended only for internal use, but the findings—revealing that 92% were dissatisfied with the ruling system—were leaked by Rouydad24 The head of presidential communications later confirmed the ISPA’s findings. The greatest support for this dictatorship, it turns out, is found amongst those who don’t have to live under it. irannewsupdate.com/news/society/c…

I honestly thought this map was made up Hundreds of supertankers, the kind that carry two million barrels each, are currently racing toward the US Gulf Coast from every direction. Atlantic, Indian Ocean, around Africa, the scenic route, the "we were heading to Saudi Arabia but NVM" route. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and everyone panicked. Oil hit $126 a barrel. Gas hit $4 a gallon. Cable news did the thing where they put a red banner on screen and say "CRISIS" in a font that suggests you should be hoarding toilet paper. And then something happened that nobody in media seems interested in reporting, for obvious reasons. The world just... switched suppliers? Like changing your internet provider except the internet provider is the entire effing global energy economy. American oil exports are approaching record levels. Gulf Coast refineries are running at 95% capacity. Supertankers that were mid-ocean on their way to the Persian Gulf literally turned around and headed to Texas. That's not a metaphor. Ship tracking data shows them doing U-turns in the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile China, which was getting 45% of its oil imports through Hormuz and paying basement prices for sanctioned Iranian crude, is now competing with Japan and Europe for the same expensive American barrels. Chinese manufacturers are already raising prices 20% on goods headed to the US. So to summarize: Iran played its biggest card and the main result is that the United States became the world's emergency gas station and China's cheap energy subsidy evaporated. This is either the most elaborate coincidence in the history of geopolitics... or someone planned the sequence Venezuela -> Iran -> profits! I'll let you figure out which one

This is so awesome it made my day! A British leftist is telling a group of Iranians that they should be ashamed of themselves for waving the Israeli flag. She tells them they are "brainwashed" Their replies are nothing short of EPIC! Watch the whole thing!

Jews Fight Back 🇺🇸🇮🇱
🚨 MEET AHMAD ZEESHAN. 32 years old.
Miami Beach, Florida.
April 2nd, 2026. Imagine this nightmare. A peaceful afternoon at the park.
A loving Jewish dad with his 7 year old and 5 year old. Ahmad spots them. Walks up and sneers: “Are you guys Jewish?” The father says yes and Zeeshan explodes with raw, vicious hatred. He screams they are “dirty people.” Threatens to violently attack the father right in front of his kids. Refuses to back down even after the dad draws his legally carried firearm. Police arrest him and Zeeshan openly boasts: “I’m Muslim and I do not like Jews.” Then claims it is just “First Amendment rights.” The judge called it exactly what it is: “Disgusting.” Charged with assault motivated by religious prejudice. A hate crime under Florida law.
Bond: $5,000. He hunted a Jewish family in a public park. Deliberately traumatizing tiny children because of who they are. During Passover. In America. In 2026. Don’t look away.

Ari Fleischer@AriFleischer·
When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

An American pilot with 25 years of experience, a veteran of three wars and hundreds of combat sorties, spoke about Israeli military pilots. He published a post that quickly went viral: “I’ve flown over Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. I thought I had seen everything. But when I saw what the Israeli Air Force is doing in Iran, I realized I’m still a student. Precision. Logistics. 200 aircraft in one night. 500 targets. 1,500 kilometers. No aerial refueling from American bases. All the fuel from home. All the weapons from home. It’s like flying from Miami to New York, bombing targets along the way, and returning— while 200 aircraft move simultaneously without a single collision. To the Israeli pilots: You are not just the best in the Middle East. You are the best in the world. And that’s the final word.” - @visionergeo

I Wanted Israel Destroyed… Until I Saw This | Michael Gamal youtu.be/BlTMmHo0mOU?si… via @YouTube Something everyone should listen to. This is an amazing life experience by a very intelligent young man of Egyptian Coptic descent who converted to Islam, and then questioned his beliefs and became a Zionist .

At the American Muslims for Palestine conference, they openly discussed their plans to take over America, including through suicide bombings, stabbings, and mass-shootings. America must wake up.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗝𝗘𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗠 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗥 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗦𝗢𝗡: 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗔 𝗔 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗘 𝗜𝗦𝗥𝗔𝗘𝗟𝗜 𝗔𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗩𝗢𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗜𝗦𝗥𝗔𝗘𝗟 Tucker Carlson recently sat down with Avraham Burg — former speaker of the Knesset, once a senior figure in Israel's Labor establishment — and presented him to American audiences as a credible insider voice against the Iran war and against Israeli political culture broadly. Jerusalem Post writer Zvika Klein has a precise response: Burg is to Israel what Cornel West is to America. Articulate, credentialed, nowhere near the national mainstream. Burg spent years moving from the Zionist center to something far more estranged. By 2007 he was saying defining Israel as a Jewish state was "the key to its end." By 2015 he was openly supporting Hadash, the Jewish-Arab far-left party. The Jerusalem Post itself described his trajectory as a move from Jewish Agency chairman to "crusader against a Jewish state." Inside Israel, his politics departed the mainstream long ago. To American audiences who only see the old credentials, he can still sound like Israel's conscience. Klein's indictment of Tucker's method is surgical: he was not looking for a mainstream Israeli critic. He was looking for an Israeli who could validate his indictment. Carlson told viewers that Israelis support the war because they "don't really know the details of what is happening or why," that Israel is "a particularly censored place," and that its citizens live in "an information vacuum." Then he introduced Burg to confirm it. But the polling tells a different story. Jewish Israeli support for the military operation against Iran has been above 90% — including a vast majority on the Israeli Left. Burg is free to oppose it. He is not the voice of a hidden majority. He is an outlier with a microphone. Klein identifies the deeper pattern: the far right and far left increasingly agree on Israel. They arrive from different places and in different languages. The far left sees Israel as a colonial crime. The populist far right sees it as a symbol of elite deceit, endless war, and moral blackmail. Both sides are drawn to Israelis who can be used as native witnesses against the country's legitimacy. That is why Tucker did not choose a mainstream Israeli critic — of whom there are many. He did not choose a hostage family voice, a former general arguing for a different strategy, or a center-left Zionist who still takes Israeli fears seriously. He chose someone useful to his project. I documented Tucker's collaboration with Zhang Shaqin — the Chinese Communist Party propagandist promoting Illuminati theories — earlier this week. This is the same pattern. Find the voice that confirms the conclusion you already have. Present it as forbidden truth. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺.
