Again, during such a historic time, where millions of Iranians have been marching for weeks throughout Iran, demanding an end to the Islamic Republic and chanting for the Crown Prince @PahlaviReza, Azizi continues to smear Iranians and the genuine opposition.

Read on why: Image
He makes several false statements, one being that this is the “first time” Iranians chanted for an opposition leader abroad.

In reality, Iranians have been chanting for the Crown Prince for years in ever increasing numbers and frequency, and this is properly documented and something you’d expect this “academic” to know.Image
Aziz also continues on to make other false remarks, such as suggesting the Crown Prince does not have a follow up plan.

Again, there is clear evidence to the contrary, as the Crown Prince and the millions who support him have set up various mechanisms of change, preparations and procedures for the road ahead.

No other opposition even remotely comes close to such organization, massive support, and preparation.Image

Dear @antonioguterres,
You are gravely mistaken about UNRWA. As we told the court today (among other things):

(1) UNRWA isn’t truly a UN subsidiary organ; and

(2) even if it were, immunity doesn’t cover conduct violating jus cogens.

I shouldn't have to, but let me explain:
@antonioguterres Resolution 302 creating UNRWA does not refer to UNRWA as a UN “subsidiary organ.”
unrwa.org/content/genera…
@antonioguterres Later, various branches of the UN began referring to it as such, but the designation does not actually fit.

So much coming down on his head:

1. People are learning about the 10-yr old boy that he raped back in 1983. Sasha Riley.
2. Netanyahu and Putin have these tapes. Netanyahu is pressing Trump to bomb Iran. Putin is pressing Trump to NOT bomb Iran.
3. Of course, Iran also has
some of the Epstein tapes. What Trump and Iran have worked out so far is they do a little tit for tat, like in Jan 2020 and June 2025. Of course, Iran also has all the money-laundering receipts for Trump's work with Iran and Turkey. (see also Mike Flynn and Eric Adams)
4. It's
the largest Mexican Standoff in all of human history. With one of the players in deep dementia; and he has nukes.
5. Most of Trump's Cabinet and FBI and CIA know about these snuff porn videos now - that's what Putin showed them in Alaska. BUT they're still sticking with him!

1/🧵 Oct 10, 2025 — Accurate Energetic Systems (AES) factory in TN explodes. 16 dead. Deadliest munitions blast in more than 100yrs. Facility leveled. Blueprints, prototypes, records—gone.

It happened days after the 'exploding mic' theory went viral. And then things got weird. Image
Image
2/ May 1, 2025: DoD awards ONE contract ever for "MINIATURIZED-XS DEMOLITION CHARGES, ANTI PERSONNEL-XS".
To AES - to the exact building that was levelled on Oct 10. $440k. Delivery: Aug 25, 2025.
This remains the only ‘XS' device on since records began. usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD…Image
3/ Aug 25 (exact delivery day): Rare private flight … Heber City, UT → Nashville, TN (closest airport to AES).
Heber City = home of Butch Hibbs (bro of pastor Jack Hibbs).
No return flight logged. Who was on that flight, could it have been someone picking up the exploding mic?

Just 5 extra minutes per day of walking at an average speed is linked to a 10% reduction in deaths, from a meta-analysis of 135,000 participants in 7 cohorts (Norway, Sweden, and the US)
New @TheLancet
thelancet.com/journals/lance…Image
And reduction of sedentary time by 30 minutes/day was also associated with a significant mortality benefit, albeit less than the increase in physical activity Image
Just "being active at least at moderate intensity for an additional 10 minutes per day was associated with a 15% reduction in all deaths among most adults"

The new OLC memo justifying the president's authority to conduct the Maduro raid is pretty wild. Some initial thoughts. 🧵


1. The first few pages have some fascinating details about the planning of Operation Absolute Resolve, including Maduro's hideout.justice.gov/olc/media/1423…
...the scale of the Delta Force raid, plus targets like the power station for Fort Tiuna, where Maduro was suspected to reside, and three other airfields.
2. The memo says "Risks to the mission are significant. Success will depend on surprise."
3. "Maduro's wife is also expected to be present ... she is 'known to be more aggressive and combative' than her husband"

Getting to more serious legal matters... 👇

1/ Eyewitness accounts from Tehran, Shiraz, Mashhad, and cities along the way. What they describe is not protest but war-like conditions across multiple neighborhoods.
2/ Tehran and Mashhad are described as active battlefields. Firearms, military weapons, and sustained clashes are reported. Shiraz shows similar intensity, with neighborhood-by-neighborhood variations.
3/ Across cities, forces chase people to the doors of their homes. Neighbors open doors to shelter one another, then shut them. This is widespread and intentional civilian protection.

Catalonia lab was experimenting with African swine fever virus when the first infected boar was found nearby
english.elpais.com/international/…
"The laboratory under scrutiny over an alleged leak of the African swine fever virus in the province of Barcelona...had planned at least two experiments with the pathogen on the same days that the first infected wild boar was found just a few hundred meters from the facility"
"The first carcass of an infected wild boar was found on November 28, just a few hundred meters from the CReSA facility, which has been criticized for lacking double fencing and which was undergoing construction work since September 15"

Trust me, you can make $10k+/m trading

& there’s endless different ways to do it..

But if I had to start over from $0 this is exactly what I’d do🧵:
1. The biggest mistake new traders make is thinking they need a big account to start.

You don’t.

You need discipline, time, and education

Don't start big and lose more capital than needed

Start small and start RIGHT
Most successful traders didn’t start with $50k+.

They started with a few thousand dollars, or even less, while they were still working and saving.

Trading capital is built, not rushed.

🚨🚨YouTube just made a BIG policy change around monetization

Creators can now earn FULL ad revenue on sensitive topics like abortion, self-harm, suicide, and domestic/sexual abuse, as long as the content is dramatized or discussed in a non-graphic way.

Here's what changed and why it matters:Image
Image
1/ What's the update?

Content that covers controversial issues (abortion, self-harm, suicide, domestic/sexual abuse) can now be fully monetized if:

- It's dramatized (fictional context)
- Discussed from personal experience in passing
- Presented without graphic/descriptive detail

Before: These topics typically got the yellow dollar icon = limited ads.
Now: Non-graphic treatment = green light for full revenue.
2/ Why the change?

YouTube heard feedback from creators who were losing revenue on:
- Dramatized storytelling
- Personal narratives
- Topical discussions

The old guidelines were too restrictive, demonetizing content that advertisers are actually comfortable with.

Atrocious Allegations Named by Sascha Riley

(All statements below are allegations made by Sascha Riley in recorded interviews; not independently verified)

🚨FYI, the contents of these interview transcripts were so vile that AI said it violated usage policies.

(A 🧵) Image
1.

Alleges that Donald J. Trump ordered, sanctioned, or personally participated in the sexual assault of children, and used extreme violence to terrorize victims into compliance.
2.

Alleges that Donald J. Trump was present immediately after the torture and killing of a child named “Patricia,” and that this killing was used as psychological coercion against him.

CLARITY Act Update: BITCOIN ONLY EDITION

#Bitcoin is one of the clearest winners under the Senate Banking Committee's draft digital asset market structure bill.

TL;DR: This draft essentially codifies what the market has long treated Bitcoin as a decentralized digital commodity free from SEC securities jurisdiction while giving it special fast-track protection via the ETF clause. It's one of the most favorable outcomes possible in U.S. crypto legislation. Altcoins with more centralized histories face a bumpier path by comparison.

Here's how it specifically affects Bitcoin based on the bill's key classifications & provisions. A 🧵...Image
1. Classification as a "Network Token" (Non-Ancillary/ Commodity Status)
-The bill distinguishes between "ancillary assets" (tokens still tied to significant issuer/entrepreneurial efforts → remain under heavy SEC oversight with disclosure requirements) and "network tokens" (sufficiently decentralized → treated as non-securities/digital commodities under CFTC primary jurisdiction).
-#Bitcoin is the textbook example of a mature, decentralized network token. Multiple sources and community discussions highlight that BTC automatically qualifies as non-ancillary due to:
-No ongoing issuer control (no central foundation or company driving value post-launch).
-Long-established decentralization (mining, nodes, governance).
-A special grandfathering clause reinforces this: A token is explicitly considered non-ancillary (i.e., not a security) if it was the principal asset of a U.S.-listed exchange-traded product (ETP/ETF) as of January 1, 2026.
-Bitcoin spot ETFs have been live and dominant since 2024 → BTC is locked into commodity treatment from day one, removing any lingering SEC securities risk.
2. Practical Impacts for #Bitcoin
-Regulatory relief and clarity: Ends years of SEC "regulation by enforcement" threats against BTC. Oversight shifts mostly to the more crypto-friendly CFTC (similar to how gold or oil futures are handled).
-Easier institutional adoption: Banks and custodians get clearer authority to custody BTC, facilitate spot/derivatives trading, staking/lending (where applicable), and even operate nodes, listed as "incidental to banking" activities.
-Self-custody protection: The bill includes strong language prohibiting federal restrictions on self-hosted wallets/vaults, a big philosophical and practical win for Bitcoin's "not your keys, not your coins" ethos.
-Bitcoin ATMs/kiosks: New disclosure, refund, and fraud-protection rules apply, which could make the kiosk business more regulated (and potentially more expensive), but this is a minor side-effect compared to the core classification wins.
-No major downsides: Unlike many altcoins that might start as "ancillary" and need to decentralize/certify over time (with heavy disclosures in the interim), Bitcoin faces virtually none of these hurdles.
