→ Ayatollah Khamenei, welcome to The Resistance
America’s beleaguered anti-Israel protesters have been shunned in popular opinion and punished by their own universities, but they’ve recently won over a major ally: the supreme leader of Iran.
“Dear university students in the United States of America, you are standing on the right side of history,” the ayatollah wrote. “You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front and have begun an honorable struggle in the face of your government’s ruthless pressure – which openly supports Zionists.”
Dear university students in the United States of America, you are standing on the right side of history.

Congratulations to America’s students. There is surely no endorsement more worthy of the movement than Iran’s Ayatollah. Will Bashar al-Assad be next?
→ Is the world moving away from the dollar?
In a foreboding sign for the US, China, India, Russia and Turkey are diversifying away from the US dollar in favour of gold in their reserve portfolios.
The Fed now admits some countries are moving to gold. But says it’s a small group.
China: 1.4B
India: 1.4B
Russia: 144M
Turkey: 85MThat “small group” represents 3B people. So 37.5% of the world is moving away from dollars towards gold. https://t.co/mx7QFjESCs pic.twitter.com/cDbl1KqZgR

The move, brought by countries representing 40% of the world’s population, could usher in a decline in the dollar’s value and in the West’s strength on the world stage. It’s the latest in a series of blows amid rising tensions with Russia and China, with a deepening partnership between the two countries posing a major threat to the West. Will sleepy Joe do anything about it?
→ Farage and Tice take on the barber shops
Barber shops have seen explosive growth in England lately, but it’s not exactly a sign of an economic recovery.
Unless Covid caused accelerated hair growth, there’s likely some nefarious activity driving the sudden, rapid growth of this industry, according to Reform leaders Nigel Farage and Richard Tice. The same, they argued, can be said of the suddenly-ubiquitous candy shops selling counterfeit goods at startling markups.
“Do you ever get out of London? You need to get out more sunshine!”

SubscribeWhen you’re marching down the street, or barricading yourself in a university building, chanting ‘From the river to the sea’ in your keffiyeh, and Hamas and the Ayatollah are cheering you on, well, take a moment to think about what side of history you’re on.
I doubt there’s much actual thinking involved with that lot.
Precisely, and that is the problem! They are engaged in virtue signalling, social media marketing, and protesting for the sake of protesting. The vast majority of this lot couldn’t find Israel on a map if their lives depended on it, and an estimated 90% cannot identify the river mentioned in their propaganda slogans.
Maybe they go claim asylum in Iran and do us all a favour
Why do you think they REALLY killed Ghadaffi? A pan-African currency backed by gold? An African version of the Euro. Backed by gold. It’s funny how no one has any clue as too where all that gold actually went. She Came, she saw, we know the rest. At least she also lost.
