    🧵THREAD: Iranian influence in US far-left protests A Jewish rapper got beaten bloody at a Khamenei vigil in Washington Square Park. What happened next exposed something much bigger: a documented pipeline connecting Iran's sanctioned state TV directly to far-left protest organizers on American soil. The receipts are extraordinary. As always, patience as I pull the thread together. 👇

    FOREIGN INFLUENCE: A violent clash at a Manhattan Khamenei vigil reveals a network of far-left U.S. activist groups with direct ties to Iranian state media, according to a new report citing leaked Press TV records showing 83 calls to one organizer. foxnews.com/us/rapper-beat…

    Rapper Kosha Dillz walked up to a vigil for Ayatollah Khamenei. He looked for images of the tens of thousands of protesters Iran killed. Organizers tackled him, punched him in the head, and kicked him on the ground. He was arrested alongside his attacker.

    The vigil drew only a few dozen people, but from five far-left organizations, including the Workers World Party. A new report by @ncri_io obtained leaked internal records from Iran's Press TV found something stunning: hundreds of communications between Press TV officials and the very same organizers.

    @ncri_io The numbers: 83 calls from Press TV to one senior figure tied to the protest network. Researchers found this outreach "far exceeded contact with other individuals based in the U.S.," indicating sustained engagement, not routine media calls. The leaked records span 2019 to 2022.

    @ncri_io The timing pattern is damning. Spikes in Press TV contact with these organizers repeatedly occurred in the weeks before increased protest activity in the United States. Researchers say the synchronization is "unlikely to be coincidental."

    @ncri_io Here's how the amplification loop works: activists appear on Iranian state broadcasts → they share and repost Iranian state media content → they organize protests → Iranian outlets pick up the protest footage and amplify it globally.

    @ncri_io Now here's where it gets bigger. Fox News identified 75+ organizations that have protested in support of Iran's regime since the conflict began. 50 identify as far-left/Marxist/socialist/communist. 22 are Islamist-aligned. Many connect through CCP-connected Neville Roy Singham.

    Singham-linked groups include the People's Forum, ANSWER Coalition, PSL, CODEPINK, and Palestinian Youth Movement. They didn't organize the Khamenei vigil... but they participated in the follow-up Al-Quds Day protest. Same "anti-imperialist" framing that treats the Iranian regime as a victim.

    @ncri_io The report calls this a "repeatable influence pipeline." Iranian state media contacts U.S. organizers. Organizers stage events. Events get amplified back through Iranian media. Sanctioned propaganda becomes "grassroots American protest."

    THREAD CONCLUSION: You don't have to support the Trump administration's efforts in Iran to understand that we aren't fighting domestic enemies. This is a global war that has been waged for a long time on multiple fronts. Congress didn't decide mass migration was a winning strategy; UN and technocrats did. Grassroots didn't create those protests; foreign-trained revolutionaries did. Activist judges didn't develop their ideology on their own; they were cultivated through pipelines set up by globalist technocrats. (Much more on that coming.) Rogue officials didn't start get obsessed with censoring us; it is a transatlantic project as @pepesgrandma has been demonstrating. Regardless of your feelings on the Iran conflict - we will have to confront the world in order to take back our country. Thread end.
