🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING 2: The 2025 May Day trip of SLC Armed Queers to Cuba: "Well, if we're terrorists, we're proud to be terrorists"

I've obtained a now-deleted video.

In it, Ermiya Fanaeian and an unidentified man named Connor talk openly about:

👉 Palestinian students at Cuba’s ELAM “studying revolution” alongside medicine
👉 Brigadistas from around the world being brought for “revolutionary orientation”
👉 How every aspect of Cuban society is dedicated to training "organizers" and are open about the terrorist label to the point they lament US institutions do not allow them to "to speak in such a way"

The trip was run through the National Network on Cuba (NNOC), linked to the Cuban state, with has U.S. NGOs as members, many of whom are linked to Neville Singham NGOs.

SLC Armed Queers is currently under federal investigation for advanced knowledge of the Charlie Kirk assassination.

And remember: Fanaeian was honored by Utah Global Diplomacy, a State Dept–connected NGO.

These are the people who are handpicked to run our state department.

As always, patience as I put together the thread.
In the above video, SLC Armed Queers describe how Palestinian med students in Cuba "studied revolution" alongside medicine, and how brigadistas from around the world were recruited for "revolutionary orientation" to learn how to fight the U.S. blockade. But there's more.
In the same deleted video, SLC Armed Queers recount Cuban med students declaring “If we’re terrorists, we’re proud to be terrorists” at an official school event. They also praise Cuba’s president for sounding like a U.S. street organizer and openly backing a “liberated Palestine.”
There's a jump in the clip above (I'll try and figure out how to post the clip in its entirety tomorrow) -- but the transcript is:

"And they were saying, "Well, if we're terrorists, we're proud to be terrorists, because we're sending doctors around the world.And if that's our terror, then, then so be it," right? And I thought that was so beautiful, because even their students are at that level of consciousness. Mm-hmm. And I don't think you could ever hear a medical school or any institution in our current country, in our current conditions in America, allowing for their students to speak in such a way at an official institutional event."

In other words, they want to be able to train in revolutionary tactics in the open.
Before I go, I am using @jsolomonReports and @JustTheNews heavily on this . I am trying to provide new material. justthenews.com/nation/extremi…
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews The May 2025 trip was part of National Network on Cuba, which is very closely linked to the Cuban state government itself via ICAP (Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples). Image
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews This is not the first time I've discussed the ICAP; Global Exchange (founded by CODE Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin) is affiliated with them.
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews National Network on Cuba has a member of US organizations that readers of my feed will find familiar -- including Code Pink, Alliance for Global Justice, Democratic Socialists for America, and of course, Armed Queers of SLC. Image
Image
Image
What I found shocking was Armed Queer's outright admission that Cuba trains Palestinian medical students in revolution, to the point where they describe themselves as terrorists.

Cuban provides free scholarships for Palestinian students to study medicine. And now it's a lot more clear why.Image
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews And the Cuban government itself announced and organized the May 2025 trip that SLC Armed Queers went on. cubaminrex.cu/es/cuba-convoc…Image
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews Of course, the Cuban government is notoriously poor and shouldn't be able to subsidize scholarships.

Who gives them financial aid? Well.... Venezuela and Russia subsidize oil for them, but we are one of their top financial aid providers. Image
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews NNOC, the umbrella organization which includes US-affiliated NGOs with Cuba, is one of only two "solidarity" organizations with the Cuban government. Image
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews In the video, Ermiya Fanaeian is full of praise for Cuban's progressive trans policies. In another clip elsewhere, they say Cuba is the most safe place they've ever been in.
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews Fanaeian and Connor openly talk about how the May 2025 trip inspired them as to their chances of a successful revolution in the United States and in the world.

Did this impact the Charlie Kirk assassination?
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews There could be a nonzero chance that SLC Armed Queers influenced Tyler Robinson.

Remember, Discord said specifically Robinson did not plan violence. They did not say whether others had planned violence.
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews It was Barack Obama who started official, government sponsored cultural missions to Cuba (although the "private" NNOC predates this) Image
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews And don't forget to read the earlier linked report by John Solomon. The entire point of Armed Queers is to train "gay, queer, and transgender people to arm themselves and fight against capitalism and the American system." Image
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews So:

Armed Queers SLC went to Cuba for training in revolutionary tactics.

Armed Queers SLC talked about being inspired in bringing home the revolution.

Armed Queers SLC is a NGO dedicated to training other gay, transgender, and queer people.

Seeing the big picture?
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews . @lamps_apple sent me a video but I can't share because it's on X DM - she posted a video to recruit others to the Cuban cause. Unclear if this video was posted before or after May Day. If after May Day, it shows that the trip itself was a radicalizing factor.
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews @lamps_apple Some more receipts: Image
Image
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews @lamps_apple The May Day Brigade was one of its largest ever in Cuba. The official state newspaper tied it directly to a "tightening of the blockade" ... which I interpret that loosely to mean foreign assistance and other punitive measures the US is putting on their allies. Image
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews @lamps_apple Here is the video from @lamps_apple - this is Ermiya Fanaeian allegedly dated to September 3rd 2025, just one week before the assassination, promoting the Cuban revolution.

It seems more likely she was radicalized by the trip.

Who else was also radicalized?
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews @lamps_apple I am going to end the thread for now and get some sleep.

Safe to say: Communist subversion is alive and well in the United States.

🚨🧵 MAJOR BREAKING: German government has been grooming DSA leaders for over a decade, and nobody noticed? 🇩🇪

Last night, Darializa Avila Chevalier — endorsed by NYC-DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) — beat a five-term incumbent to win New York's 13th congressional district.

@AsraNomani has been reporting on their ties to Cuba and the China/Singham network. But what’s not known is DSA’s deep ties to the German government.

The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS) is the political foundation of Die Linke — the German parliamentary party formed from the merger of the Party of Democratic Socialism, itself the legal successor to East Germany's ruling Marxist party, the SED.

Under German law, every party in the Bundestag gets a taxpayer-funded foundation. Die Linke's share is approximately EUR70MM annually.

Most German party foundations sponsor conferences, publish research, and fund exchange programs. What RLS-NYC did was put its own staff inside DSA's organizational leadership — concurrently — for over a decade.

In 2012, RLS opened a New York office. EIN 45-3658022. Their own annual report states: "With the help of funds from the BMZ and the Foreign Office, the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung maintains a network of international relationships. This includes financing its foreign offices."

Over the last 13 years, Berlin has sent millions to this office.

Despite these ties, no FARA registration for the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung was identified in the Department of Justice database.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇
Neal Meyer is listed on the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation's payroll as "Project Manager."

Meyer previously served as NYC-DSA's chapter treasurer from 2016 to 2018. Image
Image
On January 15, Meyer published "Big Stakes in the Big Apple" on , a strategic analysis of DSA's electoral prospects after Mamdani's mayoral victory.

One week later, NYC-DSA voted endorse Darializa Avila Chevalier for NY-13. rosalux.nycImage

🚨🧵 BREAKING - The "conservative" protest against AI data centers has an anti-ICE NGO organizer, a DSA member, Facebook money.

Other than that, totally grassroots.

Axios ran an "exclusive" Wednesday about a "conservative group" called Humans First planning a nationwide day of protest against AI data centers on July 18. Amy Kremer is chairing it and invoking the Tea Party.

Axios didn't mention that Humans First was incubated by the Center for AI Safety, an organization funded with millions from Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Or that its original staff included a Sunrise Movement organizer who sat in at Pelosi's office with AOC and a DSA member who organized for Kamala Harris.

NBC News described CAIS as having founded Humans First "to be a sort of Trojan horse to make AI safety issues more palatable to a conservative political audience."

@ParkerThayer exposed the Action Network backend.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇Image
Image
Credit to @ParkerThayer for finding this Action Network backend and inspiring me to dig a bit deeper.
@ParkerThayer The money trail starts at Good Ventures Foundation, the private foundation of Dustin Moskovitz, Facebook co-founder.

Good Ventures is the giving vehicle for Open Philanthropy, an "effective altruism" grantmaker. Image

🚨 THREAD: What do Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elaine Chao have in common? They were all paid by a Marxist-Islamist Iran group that was designated as terrorist until 2012.

No, this is not a joke.

Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) was founded by leftist Islamists to oppose the western-backed Pahlavi, and participated in his 1979 overthrow. Khomeini barred MEK afterwards. MEK was implicated in multiple bombings, including that of Americans, and remained an openly armed group until 2003.

Since they got de-listed as a terrorist organization in 2012 on procedural grounds, MEK and their fronts have been actively recruiting US politicians selling themselves as a moderate alternative to Khomeini. But RAND Corporation says MEK meets the qualifications for a cult, citing criteria such as forcing their members to work 16+ hour days and forced divorces.

Polls of the Iranian-American community shows that they do NOT accept Rajavi, MeK's leader, as legitimate, with a 46-point net disapproval - numbers nearly as bad as the existing regime.

As Pence's former Chief of Staff, Marc Short, has already weighed against Trump deal, it's helpful to recall this.

Receipts below. As always, patience as I pull the thread together.👇Image
Image
In an interview with @ItsYourGov , National Council of Resistance of Iran director and MeK representative Alireza Jafarzadeh was asked directly: "Is your group involved in any sort of lobbying or payments for speeches to prominent individuals such as Mike Pompeo?"

NCRI-US said "absolutely not."
@ItsYourGov Jafarzadeh is the registrant contact on FARA Registration #6171 for NCRI-US for Iran, on behalf of MeK. Image

🧵 THREAD: Shashank Joshi, a foreign think tank careerist, has a 16-year record of attacking US foreign policy... and now he's lecturing our military leadership on how to take the oath. Why does he still have a work visa?

He's an Indian national who arrived in April and is already the loudest critic of the Pentagon on social media.

The Economist's new Washington Bureau Chief — an Indian national on a visa who just arrived in April — went on a Canadian national security podcast literally titled "The Problem of America" and said this about US military operations:

"They have attacked scores of small boats in the Pacific and the Caribbean. They've killed dozens of people in a campaign that is, by most accounts, quite illegal and contrary to international law."

That's Shashank Joshi, @shashj . Defence editor turned bureau chief. Two months in the country and he's already built a 16-year paper trail calling American power "malevolent," "predatory," and "quite illegal" — while sitting on the advisory board of a UK think tank funded by the European Commission, BAE Systems, and the US State Department.

And he's now lecturing our military leadership on what it means to take the oath.

I have the receipts.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
Shashank Joshi has been in DC for two months, and is already lecturing our military officials on what their oaths mean… even though his entire record is criticizing the US military.

Who is he, exactly? Image
He's an Indian national. Cambridge. Enrolled in a Harvard PhD program... but his public profiles list no doctorate, suggesting he dropped out. Senior Research Fellow at RUSI, the world's oldest defence think tank. Then a stint at the Tony Blair Institute. The Economist hired him as Defence Editor in 2018. Promoted to Washington Bureau Chief, April 2026.Image

I've been relatively quiet on the subject of right-wing influencers who defected from MAGA.

But if they are actually proposing unity with left wing populist movements, then they are proposing unity with Communists.

That is the red line for me.
Everyone has their opinion on the Iran war or Israel. Maybe that opinion is enough to deter them from supporting Trump. I may not agree with it, but I understand where it comes from and it's a free country.

But when that turns into allying with Communists - that's when I have to speak up.
Institutional left-wing populism IS Communism. I'm not using it as a slur as in everyone to the left is a Communist. I mean it literally.

I'm talking about PSL, CODEPINK, Singham groups. The movements on the left that are anti-globalist are overwhelmingly Marxist.

🚨🧵 BREAKING: Former DHS Chief Miles Taylor's prank site collected death threats against the President and 4,000+ people's personal data. Then exposed them through all an open API. 🚨

Two days ago, I showed you how Miles Taylor's GTFO ICE site exposed 17,000+ people's data on an open API. That site halted sign-ups and is still "under construction."

But Taylor's organization DEFIANCE[.]org didn't just build one leaky site. They built two. On the same server.

UndoTrump[.]org — launched April 1, 2026 as an "April Fools' joke" — collects names, emails, and political messages from people signing up for fictional "Removal Parties" at government buildings. The White House Ballroom. The Kennedy Center. The DOJ. Battleships.

4,000+ signup records. 3,300+ unique people. Same vulnerability. Same API. Same zero authentication.

And this one has death threats against a sitting President in the database.

The man who was deputy chief of staff for the department that houses the Secret Service couldn't secure a sign-up form. Again.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇Image
Image
Here's a video of Miles himself soliciting PII in sign-ups. He implies he's not saving the user data... but he did.
Same server. Same IP address. 34.111.179.208. Google Cloud Platform. Same React 19 frontend. Same Express.js backend. Same registrar. Domains registered 13 days apart.

This wasn't two mistakes. This was one codebase deployed twice. Name.comImage
