Iran provided financial support to the pro-Hamas demonstrators
Apparently these facts are too difficult for the
Biden administration to recognize.

According to a statement issued yesteday by Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence in the Biden administration, Iran provided financial as well as material support to the pro-Hamas mobs that took over American campuses in the spring.
As I noted in testimony to the Congress in May, Iran is becoming increasingly aggressive in their foreign influence efforts, seeking to stoke discord and undermine confidence in our democratic institutions, as we have seen them do in the past, including in prior election cycles. They continue to adapt their cyber and influence activities, using social media platforms and issuing threats. It is likely they will continue to rely on their intelligence services in these efforts, as well as Iran-based online influencers, to promote their narratives.
In recent weeks, Iranian government actors have sought to opportunistically take advantage of ongoing protests regarding the war in Gaza, using a playbook we’ve seen other actors use over the years. We have observed actors tied to Iran’s government posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protests, and even providing financial support to protesters. [emphasis mine]
Haines’ statement then went on to insist she was not making any accusations against the protesters themselves, who had the first amendment right to express their opinions, adding that they “may not be aware that they are interacting with or receiving support from a foreign government.”
Let me make some accusations for Haines. While these pro-Hamas rioters surely have their right to express their vile opinions that they support the rape, torture, and murder of women, children, and babies — which they did so loudly — I strongly believe that many of them were were quite aware they were getting aid from foreign sources. How else did so many of them suddenly show up with exactly the same pup tents and other equipment when they were establishing their illegal occupations of campus properties?
Haines’ statement however did not indicate any action planned by the Biden administration to deal with this foreign agitation. This news report asks these very basic questions: “Has it tried to shut down the bank accounts or social media accounts that the Iranians are using? Has it conveyed a diplomatic message through the Embassy of Switzerland or through other channels to Iran to cut it out?”
Based on past actions by the Biden administration, as well as the general Democratic Party support for these pro-Hamas protesters, I suspect the answer to these questions is “No. The Biden administration has done nothing.” That the protests went on for months and spread widely in an amazingly organized manner further suggests that the Biden administration knew these facts and simply decided to look the other way in order to allow Iran to promote these violent protests.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in the past two weeks has the mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuses to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

Shall we go down memory lane? 2016…
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-administration-acknowledges-1-7-billion-transfer-to-iran-was-all-cash/
One plane load was not enough.
https://www.cnn.com/2016/08/03/politics/us-sends-plane-iran-400-million-cash/index.html
Still not enough.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-paid-1-3-billion-to-iran-two-days-after-cash-delivery/
Wait a minute, 150 billion $?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_RhFd4OfCA
Iran has very little economy, if you want them to do terrorism you got a pay upfront. 6 billion last year!
“However, I remain deeply concerned that the administration’s decision to waive sanctions to facilitate the transfer of $6 billion in funds for Iran, the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism, creates a direct incentive for America’s adversaries to conduct future hostage-taking.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-66784817
Isn’t it obvious who Hamas and Iran work for?
The Biden administration, like the Obama administration before, has a love affair with Iran, and a hatred toward Israel.
Hamas is Zuni–I thought Iran only funded Hezbollah, which is Shi’a…
There are several books documenting the jihad in America
Yes, the dems have done nothing but aided the Iranian Jihad.

The enemy of my enemy…….
Its money well spent to equip and support such a dedicated enemy of theirs.
A people willing to die down to the last child is not something you can find just anyplace.

In other words, the Iranians are Equal Opportunity Terrorists.
The radical Leftist, “Destroy the Patriarchy”, “Transformer of America” Obama and his minions within the White House through the Democrat party machine tool Joe Biden, that is what has enriched Iran.
“The DNC machine planned to keep Joe once again isolated so he alone would be the choice of the people in 2024 because Trump was made to appear a “Danger to Democracy” and a convicted criminal. ”

“Joe Biden has had a long career in politics, a long career in bloviating, self-aggrandizing and feathering his own nest over the interests of his sworn public office.
Self-aggrandizing: acting or intended to enhance one’s power, wealth, position, or reputation boastful often in disregard of the truth.”

We will still be distracted by other events.
“In an utterly stunning development in eastern Europe, China has sent troops from its People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to Belarus, to participate side-by-side with Belarus troops in an “exercise.” – as NATO places 115,000 troops on Belarus’ Border.”
This frees up Russian troops to be sent to the Ukraine border. China has chosen a side.
Biden promises in his NATO speech all the money and material support that Ukraine needs… Unfortunately very few troops left to use them.
Saber rattling from Poland.
“Poland’s Army Chief of Staff, General Wieslaw Kukula, today publicly urged his people and nation to prepare for full-scale war with Russia.”
Last nights News at the conference, declaration of Ukraine becoming part of NATO is irreversible. (That was Russia’s red line for nuclear war.)
F-16s to be sent to Ukraine (are there any air fields not bombed out?) they are retrofitting the planes in Utah to be pilotless for this war.
The big announcement;
https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/secretary-of-state-blinken-announces-the-transfer-of-f-16-fighter-jets-to-ukraine-is-underway
Putin has declared that any nation receiving these planes will be targets.
I strongly believe that many of them were were quite aware they were getting aid from foreign sources. How else did so many of them suddenly show up with exactly the same pup tents and other equipment
You have to admit that, as one of those activists who goes to the protest de jur, it quite brilliant. Just think how much money George Soros is saving! They now all have tents for the post-election riots and he didn’t have to pay a cent for them.
Max this is from 2020
https://theaviationist.com/2020/08/29/ukrainian-su-27-flanker-hit-a-road-sign-during-highway-landing-training/
All military’s in Europe tend to make their roads into air strips just in case of war.
Those F16 will have more than enough places to operate out of and even hide inside warehouses.
US air force units train on how to quickly turn any straight three lane road into a landing strip. I could have an aluminum light pole down in a literal minute.
The F 16 has always been able to be remotely flown. Its fly by wire so its all electronically controlled. One aspect of this is that the plane can be flown over G. The pilot could pass out in a high G maneuver and the plane will fly up and out of the conflict area until the pilot regains consciousness, normally just a few seconds. But no it can not be turned into a pilot less fighter and run missions. Though it can be turned into a drone. It will not be turned into a drone in the Ukraine thats just a waste of a good fighter.
Some good news
