#Irannews🧵

1- The campuses of 4-5 universities in Tehran and two universities in Mashhad and Isfahan were the scene of student protests & unrest in the last two days.
With gatherings getting out of control, clashes reported between protesting students and Basiji students.
2- Unrest started at the campus of the Sharif University of Technology, when protesting students began chanting death to dictator (the most polite slogan!), hurling sexual insults at Iran’s leader.

On Sunday the unrest spread to Tehran University and Amir Kabir, too.
3- Sharif protesting students raised the Sun and Lion flag (Pahlavi’s).

Videos show students booed, shouted and cheered when the sound of Adhan Dhuhr was raised in the campus with religious and Basiji students gathering to hold prayers. Image

We dug into the permits for OpenAI's Stargate data center in Abilene, Texas.

Buried on pages 42 and 43: 28 emergency backup generators powered by Baudouin — a French engine brand almost no one sells in America.

Except Generac.
Based on Hunterbrook Media’s reporting, Hunterbrook Capital is long $GNRC and short a basket of comparable securities at the time of publication. Positions may change at any time. See full disclosures on our website.
The problem: If you're building a billion-dollar AI data center, you might wait 2+ years for a backup generator from Caterpillar, Cummins, or Rolls-Royce.

Lead times stretch as long as 107 weeks. The companies constructing the most expensive AI infrastructure in history are scrambling for alternatives.

🧵THREAD: All about the foreign-influenced Western media called Grayzone and Iranian protests

Last month, 𝕏 celebrated the Iranian protests.

Then they ... just disappeared from the headlines, and it came out quietly that hundreds and even thousands of protesters were brutally massacred.

So why did the story mostly die?

Because an influence operation ran by a foreign-backed media group called Grayzone turned a massacre into a debate about who was really behind the protests. A new report from @ncri_io , published February 19, documents exactly how it worked: the seeding, the laundering, and who did the amplifying.

As always, patience as I pull the thread together. 👇Image

Before the first protester was shot, IRGC-affiliated Fars News was already calling the December 28 uprising "an enemy psychological operation." Image
The regime needed "evidence." They got two gifts:
1/ Mossad's official Farsi X account posted solidarity Dec 29: "We are with you in the field as well."
2/ Former Sec. of State Pompeo tweeted Jan 2: "Happy New Year to every Mossad agent walking beside them."
Both were immediately seized as proof of a foreign-orchestrated coup.Image

🧵I've been watching the national security policy discussion in various European media outlets, and I'm concerned by the growing disconnect between the so-called public expert opinion and the reality Europe finds itself in as a result of three decades of neglecting defense. 1/6
In European mainstream media and podcasts on the internet there has been a constant drumbeat of anti-NATO rhetoric, as though those countries now wanted to lead Europe's decoupling from America. Europe's YouTube and tv experts on strategy and defense seem to lead the charge. 2/6
Emotions aren't a good source of advice when it comes to national security issues, and public assertions that constantly disavow the value of @NATO and an alliance with the US are laying the ground for a scenario where exposed frontline states may end up alone against Russia. 3/6

White South Africans forcing blacks to use a separate staircase or a separate water fountain is a "crime against humanity".

But black South Africans chanting death to white farmers and systematically murdering them is nothing to complain about, it's just a "robbery gone wrong".
Whites segregating blacks is a crime against humanity.

Blacks slaughtering whites is fine, these things happen.
Here is New York Times informing you that blacks chanting "Kill the Boer" is just a nice song. Why, do you have a problem with black people singing songs now, racist?

The medical examiner who studied Epstein’s corpse noted an enlarged prostate, but Epstein’s own words and medical records in the released files seem to indicate his prostate was removed. Image

Epstein also received this letter, EFTA00316537, which introduced him to a number of new doctors, one of which specialized in radical prostatectomy. Image

When will anyone ask WHY Judge Aileen Cannon protects Trump? A woman whose husband worked for New York City mobster & Trump pal John Rosatti, becomes a judge who always rules for Trump. Not one reporter will dig into her history? She's beyond the presumption of normality. 1/
Do we know that it's nefarious that Aileen Cannon's husband worked for mobster John Rosatti, still a pal of Donald Trump? We know he wiped his LinkedIn as soon as she got a big Trump case. And reporters should pounce anytime someone scrubs their bio. 2/
Reporters are going to have to cover John Rosatti's New York mob life anyway, if Trump pardons Colombo family boss Victor Orena as has been rumored. So might as well start now, asking what is the connection to Aileen Cannon and her husband Josh Lorence. 3/

1/ I'm about to ruin a lot of people's timelines.

You know that massive Democratic primary surge in Harris County everyone's losing their minds over?

I looked up whether these "new" voters actually show up in general elections.

Spoiler: 82% of them already do. 🧵👇
2/ Quick context: 48.6% of early voters have little or no Democratic primary history — 39,400 surge voters through Day 6.

A lot of people saw that and assumed these are new voters entering the electorate.

So I pulled their general election records.
3/ The general election history of 41,193 surge voters:

→ 25,320 voted in ALL 3 of the last 3 generals
→ 33,610 voted in 2+ of 3 (81.6%)
→ Only 1,792 have zero general election history (4.4%) Image

Charlie Kirk built TPUSA from nothing into a powerhouse for young conservatives—fighting campus leftism, promoting faith, family, freedom, and real America First energy. Grassroots, not grift.

But after his assassination, something shifted. Hard.
RIP Charlie. His vision deserved better.

Fast forward to now (2026 primaries): TPUSA/TPAction endorses Greg Abbott for Governor and Dan Patrick for Lt. Gov.

Why? Abbott's got deep pockets, establishment ties, and a RINO/globalist record: massive mosque growth, H-1B visa abuse flooding jobs, busing illegals on taxpayer dime, COVID lockdowns, WEF vibes.

Charlie fought THAT exact swamp. Now TPUSA backs it?

They snubbed challengers like @DocPeteChambers—a Green Beret vet, surgeon, COVID whistleblower hero—who actually lives the principles Charlie preached: faith, patriotism, fighting tyranny.

Multiple campus chapters reportedly blocked Doc from events over "nonpartisan" rules... yet Abbott gets the full endorsement nod.

Coincidence? Or cash talks louder now?

1/ It's generally been assumed that the Russian government wants to force its soldiers off Telegram and onto the government-approved MAX app. However, it seems that MAX may also be banned for military use, and an unnamed specialised military messenger may be imposed instead. ⬇️ Image
2/ The generally reliable Fighterbomber Telegram channel reports on a possible ban of both MAX and Telegram in the military (referring to "Laos" as a commonly-utilised euphemism for Russia, to evade the censors):
3/ "Sources within the Security Council suggest that, amid the suppression of Telegram by all available means, Lao troops have received orders banning the use and installation of the world's most secure national messenger on devices with advanced multimedia capabilities,…
