3·24 hours agoAlso this video was produced with the help of ‘Belly of the Beast’ youtube channel, which is run by people living in Cuba.
This video documents Hasan’s trip to Cuba with Nuestra América Convoy. The aid convoy included over 600 activists, including Code Pink and many youtubers/tiktokers, Brace Belden, Boy Boy & Ididathing, Ryan Grim, and many others. “Jeremy Corbyn, Clara López, Pablo Iglesias, Chris Smalls, Thiago Ávila, Hasan Piker, Medea Benjamin, and Kneecap”. The convoy delivered hundred solar panels and 50 tonnes of food and medicine.
I think this parody demonstrates that this bit only works for Jiang because he’s a Chinese Dissident. He’s not a professor. Westerners just think that being Chinese gives him some kind of mystical wisdom.
He’s actually a High School English teacher. He lives in Beijing and he said he accesses youtube through VPN. He was arrested by China in 2002 for being suspected of being a spy for the US. He also described himself as being ‘far right’ politically.
He talked about this stuff in his interview with Mehdi Hasan.
It says on the article in the OP that the memorandum applies specifically to “DOW property within the United States”, so it would be case 1.
I archived the article because the article is on a US Government website. I don’t want to link directly to a US Government website because then the US government could record Hexbear users who click the article by http referer headers.
We in the west have troubles of our own and have never known the terror of living under the rule of a paranoid authoritarian regime.
There is an expression that goes like “You can’t fool me, I wasn’t born yesterday”. When people say things like this, I think they are actually born yesterday.
You cannot name a period in US history when the US was not a “paranoid authoritarian regime”. From the start, the US regime stole land from the indigenous people and genocided the indigenous people. The US regime had an economy based on slave trade and slave plantations. There was the Jim Crow Era, Red Scare 1, Red Scare 2, Internment of Japanese, Cold War Era, dozens of coups around the world.
The FBI assassinated leaders of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. There is too many things to name. The US Regime has bombed like 10 different countries in the past year.
The terror that Iranians are currently experiencing is not from their own government, it is terror inflicted by the West. If I were to travel to Iran, I would be killed by Israel or the US, not by Iranians.
Paranoia is an illness where people feel anxiety, suspicion, or fear based on irrational reasons or delusions. The anxiety that Iranians have is not irrational. The fears that Iranians have are based on the long history of aggression from the west and colonizers. Iranians do not have paranoia.
Did you even read the letter? There is no way that you read the letter or understand what the letter says.
Also, diaspora who are afraid to return to their home countries are sometimes afraid because they are collaborators with the US or other western nations. The US regime does not respect immigrants, especially not from Iran. The US sometimes gives immigration status to people collaborate with US militancy or espionage. These diaspora would face consequences because they aided crimes by western nations.

1·12 days agoLet me ask you. Have you interviewed Hamas? Have you interviewed Iranian officials and Iranian citizens? Did you travel to Cuba to deliver solar panels while Cuba is suffering energy shortages due to a blockade by the US? Ryan Grim did these things.
I don’t think that you watched the video because the video is not about Ryan Grim having “good takes”. His “takes” do not matter. The video is about Ryan Grim going on a trip to Cuba over the weekend with a group of 600 people to deliver aid such as solar panels and medicine, while Cuban people are being strangled by the United States blockade.
I don’t give a single fuck what Ryan Grim thinks. I like that he publishes interviews with Hamas and Iranians and Cubans. I like that he publishes international perspectives which western media tries to suppress.
This is a Bari Weiss propaganda video. The purpose of this video is to frighten geriatric americans into thinking that the US needs to increase military spending even further. CBS is owned by the Ellison family, who is personal friends with Trump and Netanyahu. Bari Weiss was appointed as the head of CBS News in October 2025 to promote the political agendas of Trump and Zionists.
Professor Jiang did an interview on Sneako’s show last week, far-right youtuber who got famous for being a misogynist and worked for Kanye during Kanye’s nazi music tour.
The establishment democrat (ie Schumer, Jeffries, etc) line is that Trump is not doing the Iran war in the correct way. Schumer likes that there is a war with Iran, but believes that if a Democrat had been President then the US would be winning that war. They apply the same reasoning to the kidnapping of Maduro. Schumer met with Maria Machado after she gave her Nobel Prize to Trump. The word that Schumer uses is ‘incompetence’ as if there was a ‘competent’ way to start wars with Venezuela and Iran.
The Democrats are going to try to run candidates which say they are going to do a war with Iran in a ‘competent’ way and then they’ll lose to far right populists who claim to be anti-war.
Your takeaway from this whole conflict should be that Iran is far more rational and restrained than Israel or US. US assassinated the leader of their country. US blew up an elementary school, killing 160 children. US started the war with Iran this year. Israel started the ‘12 day war’ with Iran last year. Israel assassinated the Gaza negotiator Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in 2024. Trump assassinated Iranian Military Leader Qasem Soleimani in 2020. Trump ended the JCPOA Iran denuclearization agreement in 2018 on behalf of Israel.
Iran has been taking abuse from the US for the last decade and responding with restraint. US is the aggressor. Iran is the victim.

DPRK announced that this would happen 5 days ago. They said that they would counter the annual military drills being performed by US and South Korea. DPRK referenced US’s attacks on Iran, to say that US military drills are pretext for invasion. DPRK is doing the missile tests to deter invasion from US. I would guess that DPRK will release a statement about the missiles in around 4-5 hours from now; they usually post announcements at 6pm EST
Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Department Director of C.C., WPK
Pyongyang, March 10 (KCNA) – Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, issued the following press statement “Strong is the will of our state to defend peace and security in the Korean peninsula and the region” on March 10:
At a critical time when global security structure is collapsing rapidly and wars break out in different parts of the world due to the reckless acts of the outrageous international rogues, the U.S.-ROK war drill is being staged in the ROK. This will result in further destroying the stability of the region.
On March 9 the enemy states launched the large-scale joint military exercises Freedom Shield, intensively revealing once again their inveterate repugnancy toward the DPRK and habitual hostile policy toward it.
The drill, involving more than 18 000 troops of the ROK and the U.S. forces, is to be staged day and night for 10-odd days across the territorial ground, sea, air, outer space and cyberspace of the ROK. It is not a “military game” but provocative and aggressive war rehearsal of those simulating and planning the confrontation with the DPRK.
The enemies are again calling it “annual” and “defensive” but no matter what justification they may establish and how the elements of the drill may be coordinated, the clear confrontational nature of the high-intensity large-scale war drill staged by the most hostile entities in collusion at the doorstep of the DPRK never changes.
Given that the danger has escalated in recent years as a result of the drastic increase of command and actual field mobilization exercises to apply and get familiar with new modern war manuals and methods appropriate to the actual conditions of the Korean peninsula, accompanied by nuclear elements, such training is being further supplemented by practical and provocative military elements including information warfare and AI technology this year, too. This is another proof of the confrontational nature.
The recent global geopolitical crisis and complicated international events prove that all military maneuvers of the field warfare troops, to be conducted by the enemy states, assume no distinction between defence and attack, training and actual warfare, and that they should be suppressed through an extraordinarily overwhelming and preemptive super-offensive, rather than a responsive or proportional action, in order to get fully prepared to cope with them.
Our head of state has already clarified that it is undoubtedly a law and iron principle that the most powerful offensive capability constitutes the most reliable deterrent.
The muscle-flexing of the hostile forces near the areas of our state’s sovereignty and security may cause unimaginably terrible consequences.
The enemies should never try to test our patience, will and capability.
We will watch to what extent the enemy violates the security of our state and what it is playing.
We will perfectly counter the strategic threats to the security of the state and the region through the bolstering of destructive power, including all available special means which cannot but be overwhelming, and the responsible exercise of such deterrent.
We will also constantly and repeatedly convince the enemies of our war deterrence and its fatality.
We will have the terrible destructive power, which the enemy dare not respond, to firmly defend the peace of the country.
The security sphere of the DPRK is absolutely inviolable and strong is the will of our state to thoroughly defend the security environment in the Korean peninsula and the region. -0-

I think Al Jazeera is maybe trying to make the point that DPRK is firing missiles in response to aggression from US, Japan, South Korea. Some western media outlets like to pretend DPRK’s missile tests are unprovoked or irrational or motivated by evil.
On March 9, 5 days ago, DPRK actually signaled that they would conduct these missile tests in response to US/ROK military drills being performed.

Seyed Abbas Araghchi endorsed it. Also PressTV is an Iranian public news agency. Maybe Iran is doing a strong arm tactic like Trump. I’m not sure.
