🇮🇷 Minab Schoolchildren Memorial Greets FUNERAL Arrivals in Tehran
A memorial to the Minab schoolchildren killed in the recent strikes now stands in Mehrabad Airport's ceremonial hall, where foreign heads of state, parliament speakers, and foreign ministers pass to honor Ayatollah Khamenei.
Every dignitary on that red carpet steps past the children's faces first.
🇮🇷 Over 100 countries sent delegations to Khamenei's funeral and the guest list tells you almost everything about the new geopolitical map.
Russia sent Medvedev as Putin's personal envoy. China sent senior parliamentary leadership. Pakistan's Prime Minister came with the Army Chief in tow. Tajikistan, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Afghanistan's Taliban deputy PM, Oman, all present.
Hezbollah and Hamas delegations in the hall alongside Shia scholars from across the world.
And zero European countries, after Iran's Foreign Ministry explicitly told them they weren't invited because they were on the wrong side of history.
This funeral is also a realignment map. Every country that showed up and at what level is a data point about where they see themselves in whatever comes after Khamenei.
The countries that sent heads of state versus special envoys versus parliamentary officials versus nobody at all is a complete picture of the post-war Middle East order being drawn at this very moment around a coffin in Tehran.

Peter Thiel just named the rule that decided if Elon Musk stayed or left. It has nothing to do with left or right.
Thiel: "I've known Elon since 2000. He was never doctrinaire, but for the first 20 years, he was left of center."
Tesla. Clean energy. Electric cars. About as left of center as it gets.
Then the terms changed.
Thiel: "This intellectual straitjacket where you're not allowed to have ideas. Even if you agree with 80%, it's never enough. You have to be 100%."
No idea on Earth requires 100% agreement. Only power does.
Thiel: "There's just no individuality left whatsoever."
Thiel: "The Democratic Party, it's like the Empire. They're all Imperial stormtroopers. We're the ragtag Rebel Alliance."
Not just him. Every institution that used to reward the odd ones now filters them out before they rise.
He didn't change. The room did.
Thiel: "It certainly seemed incredibly dangerous to me what he did, incredibly courageous."
Thiel: "Elon gave people a great deal of cover."
Not because he won the argument. Because he went first.
The straitjacket only holds you if you believe you need permission.
Everyone still wearing one is calling it a coat.
We just arrived in Tehran to cover the ongoing U.S.-Israel war of aggression and the funeral of Imam Khamenei.

Last Wednesday, I was on a boat in Cannes waiting to be interviewed by Australia’s biggest TV star @karlstefanovic for his new podcast. But while he was flying from London, he got fired. So, I ended up interviewing him. It’s an amazing conversation. Drops soon. 🚀🚀🚀🚀
So here we have the systematic demolition of Palestinian roads and water infrastructure across the occupied West Bank.
This all carried out with heavily armored Caterpillar D9 bulldozers manufactured in East Peoria, Illinois,USA.
American taxpayers money at work.....
VIDEO | Footage shows Israeli occupation bulldozers uprooting hundreds of olive trees in the town of Zububa, west of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.
En nombre mío y de todos mis compañeros de la selección iraní, quiero expresar nuestro más sincero agradecimiento y profunda gratitud a México por su cálida hospitalidad. Nos han llenado de amor, calidez y una amabilidad inolvidable. Gracias al maravilloso pueblo mexicano por su cariño y apoyo, que nos han hecho sentir como en nuestro segundo hogar. Todo nuestro respeto y aprecio para ustedes.
🚨 BREAKING:
The United Nations has officially declared Gaza a genocide zone, stating that Israel is deliberately targeting children and infants.
It took them three full years to reach this conclusion.
There’s more to the iPhone 17e than meets the eye. Like an advanced silicon chip that is said to be developed in Apple’s R&D centre in Israel.
Al Jazeera’s Al Anoud Al Aqeedi explains.
THIS IS FUCKING SICK ✡️🇮🇱
Israelis are setting up outdoor screens to stream and cheer as entire Lebanese towns are wiped to rubble by the IDF.
These are ordinary civilians, not soldiers or officials, gathering to applaud destruction and death.
This is how they do it by the way. The IOF targeted this car with three consecutive missiles today.
Inside was a Palestinian girl on her way to take her high school final exams. 'israel' murdered her.

VIDEO | Scenes of ongoing forced displacement and hardship faced by the Palestinian Al-Atrash family in the Hebron (Al-Khalil) village of Khirbet Qalqas, in the occupied West Bank, as Israeli occupation forces demolish their home.
Theologian JD Hall to Tucker Carlson:
The Muslim rulers didn't tax churches during the Ottoman period. They were very kind to Christians.
As a matter of fact, they took care of our holy sites. Islamic authorities rebuilt the Church of the Holy Sepulchre three different times over the centuries.
They had a law protecting Christian pilgrims on their journey. Nobody messed with the pilgrims.
It looks like they're trying to sack my good friend Karl Stefanovic for this video with Tommy Robinson!
Deb Knight was a huge flop for Channel 9 and while she was busy grilling me over One Nation’s polling Channel 9's ratings were in the toilet.
In 2019 on live TV with her, I called on Channel 9 to bring back Karl.
Now with 6 months to go on his contract the weak management of Channel 9 want to sack Karl over this interview.
Tommy Robinson has a lesson for Australians. If we don’t learn from the UK’s mistakes on immigration and radical Islam, we are going to face the same destruction.
This is exactly what Karl was trying to bring to Australia’s attention.
Have Channel 9 become just as bad as the ABC? Watch the full interview: https://t.co/5H9wL9YzwI
Iran's Ghalibaf:
In the middle of the discussions, I learned that Trump had made threatening remarks regarding our president, the negotiating team, and possible attacks on our territory.
I told Vance: “We are here engaged in talks, and according to the signed understanding, the first clause states that there should be no threats or coercion. Yet today your president has issued threats. Understand that we never negotiate under threats or pressure.”
We ended the negotiations, left the meeting, and did not return.
The American side sought another meeting through the mediators, but we refused. The Qatari and Pakistani mediators then came to us, and we told them that we would speak with them, but not with the American side directly.
The outcome of these discussions and the 80-minute negotiations was the statement later released by the Pakistani and Qatari side.
The Mainstream Media can’t be trusted
There's been a lot of comments on social media from people who want to support our party but are hesitant to as they feel we won't get anywhere because we don't have the support of the mainstream media.
If you want to change our political system the worst thing you could do is to continue to vote for parties supported by the mainstream media.
Why would you trust the mainstream media when they have pushed Covid change and Covid onto you in the past.
Take recents events where Australia's richest person and biggest political donar has come out and suggested that Australia gives free land and tax breaks to foreign countries and the world's richest man. There has been complete silence on this and the reason is simple.
Gina Rinehart buys a lot of advertising space and the mainstream media don't want to upset their biggest customers.
The fact that the People First has been gaslighted by the mainstream media is the very reason you should support us. We don't drink the establishment cool-aid and for that reason the mainstream media ignores us.
Our founding fathers set up a democratic system designed to support minority parties. They did this by firstly allowing preferential voting and secondly making the Senate a house based on proportional voting not 2PP. They knew the dangers of entrenched rule by established parties and wanted to ensure minor parties would hold the major parties to account.
Accountability is a fundamental part of democracy. Don't be dissuaded in supporting us just because the MSM aren't on our side. It's all the more reason we need your support to hold the establishment to account.
Under our preference system you can still choose the order in which you vote for other parties. If you vote for the People's Party your vote won't be wasted. In fact it will send a signal to the establishment that can't control the narrative.

I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet
Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, posted a simple idea that hit 16 million views: stop using AI to write code, use it to build a second brain.
You point Claude Code at a folder, drop in any source, an article, a transcript, a PDF, and Claude reads it, links it, and files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest, the more you feed it, the smarter it gets.
Here's the whole thing:
> Install Obsidian, create a vault, open it in Claude Code
> Paste Karpathy's wiki idea file and tell Claude to build it
> Claude makes three folders: raw for sources, wiki for its pages, a CLAUDE.md that runs it
> Drop any source into raw and say "ingest this"
> Ask questions across everything, forever
Five minutes to set up, and you never start from a blank chat again.
Full step-by-step guide with Claude and Obsidian, link below.
