BREAKING: Tehran is on fire. Massive crowds are torching the Islamist regime’s buildings. Thousands of people are protesting in the streets across Iran. As expected, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard is now shooting protesters. Protests exploded across more than 100 cities, the most intense yet, and now heavy gunfire echoes through Tehran streets packed with massive crowds. Feels like the regime’s grip slipping fast. ‘You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide’: The Downfall Of Dictators And A Spotlight On Corruption: The protests in Iran that began eleven days ago are only growing. In more than 200 locations around the country, people have taken to the streets chanting “Death to the Dictator!” Buildings have been burned, pictures of the ayatollahs have been desecrated, and government structures have been mobbed. The military is fighting back with live fire, thus far killing at least 36 citizens and arresting more than 2000 more, according to human rights groups. The people are fed up with the Islamist regime caring more about arming their proxies than providing food, water, and energy to their population. On Tuesday, the Iranian rial reached a new low of 1,470,000 to one US dollar on the open market with no signs of potential turn-around. The country’s leaders are trying to distract the people by attempting to focus on a common enemy. For two days in a row, Iran has threatened a preemptive strike against Israel. But for many in Iran, they find a greater affinity with those in Jerusalem than with those in the government buildings in Tehran. For Israel’s part, Netanyahu has warned, “If we are attacked, the implications for Iran will be very dire.” Meanwhile, dozens of US Air Force refueling tankers and heavy military transport aircraft have departed to the Middle East, with numerous sources saying it is in preparation for strikes against Iran. Other countries see the threat, and Canada, Russia, and Australia have each asked their citizens to leave Iran immediately. The ayatollahs certainly understand their predicament and have deployed air surveillance radar systems in Tehran and several other cities in case either the US or Israel comes calling. There are also rumors that Ayatollah Khamenei has a contingency plan to flee to Moscow if either the protests grow or another major attack comes. These rumors are bolstered by a claim by British MP Tom Tugendhat that there were reports of Russian cargo aircraft landing in Tehran and “large amounts of gold leaving Iran.” While the news media is focused on the anti-ICE protests happening in Minnesota, there was another protest happening on the west coast that did not get nearly as much attention. The people of the Pacific Palisades held a protest to speak out against the non-existent rebuilding in the area, a full year after wildfires destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. The people there are demanding an end to red tape, fees, and other things standing in the way of recovery, as well as the leaders who are not doing their jobs. Last month, French insect farming startup Ÿnsect entered judicial liquidation, marking the end of a company that raised over $600 million despite its ambitions to build insect-based protein at an industrial scale. The collapse follows years of financial struggles, including an inability to secure sufficient funding, persistent revenue shortfalls and high capital costs associated with its large-scale production facility, YnFarm. The trend towards insect-based foods is linked to the UN’s Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”), promoting sustainability and forced behavioural modifications. They claim the aim is to provide alternative sources of protein to humans and animals’ natural foods, such as beef. However, as Dr. Meryl Nass pointed out some time ago, “Just because it is protein doesn’t mean it’s good for us.” And we would add, it’s not good for our pets and farm animals either. Nass cited parasites that could be spread by insects, difficulties in digesting insects, and common allergies to chitin, commonly found on the exoskeleton of insects. She suggested that one reason behind the shift to insects as food is “to cause emotional harm: to degrade, debase, downgrade human beings” and that beef is “being demonised,” potentially to “weaken the species.” The Trump administration’s cuts to federal funding for abortion-involved entities have forced the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) to slash nearly a thousand jobs worldwide, new data reveals. Alliance Magazine reports that IPPF has released survey data indicating that its loss of $87.2 million has translated to 40 percent of its member associations laying off 969 jobs staffers across 34 member associations, with 1,394 so-called “health sites” either closing down or canceling their planned openings. A leaked NYPD memo exposes how taxpayer-funded resources are being deployed to promote and normalize the hijab—a symbol of Islamic female subjugation—within America’s largest police force, even as Muslim recruits demand exemptions from saluting the American flag. Just last week, RAIR Foundation USA exclusively reported on a shocking development that would have been unthinkable in American policing a decade ago: An NYPD recruit currently training at the police academy has reportedly requested a religious exemption from saluting the American flag—asserting that his Islamic beliefs prohibit him from doing so because he may only praise Allah. In the East, the hijab is a tool of brutal oppression enforced by regimes that stone, lash, and murder women for refusing to wear it. In the West, it has become a deliberate badge of commitment to Sharia law—a military-style uniform signaling conquest, submission, and the slow demographic takeover of free societies. Yet our taxpayer-funded police department is not only tolerating this symbol; it is actively recruiting around it. This is not bridge-building. This is surrender. Following the fatal self-defense shooting of Renee Good by ICE on January 7, 2026, activists established an autonomous zone in south Minneapolis near the shooting site at Portland Avenue and East 34th Street, roughly one mile from George Floyd Square. Protesters erected makeshift barricades spanning several blocks using trash bins, Christmas trees, and other debris. Signs declared, “Federal agents not permitted on premises. Federal agents (ICE, DEA, ATF, or any other agent or agency) may not enter, park, or stage on this property. No trespassing. Violators will be towed.” The zone blocked residents from driving through the area or accessing their homes, while radicals appointed “guards” at each entrance and declared the area a no-go zone for police. The Twin Cities-based Autonomous Yurts Union delivered a yurt shelter around 4 p.m. on January 8 to provide cover from the rain for those manning the barricades. Minneapolis police removed the barricades early the next morning, January 9, around 3:40 a.m. Officers from the Fifth Precinct, wearing riot gear, demolished most of the obstructions, citing safety concerns and responding to repeated calls from residents.... Interim Fire Chief Melanie Rucker said, “Safety has to come first, every second matters when lives are on the line,” noting that blocked streets slow emergency response and limit access to critical resources. Officer Kelly O’Rourke added, “We’ve been through this before. These people don’t want to lose their home to permanent encampments.” MPs from France’s far-left party have set their sights on NATO, targeting the United States and its leadership role. A senior lawmaker from Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s La France Insoumise party has introduced a draft resolution calling for France to begin planning a full withdrawal from the US-led military alliance. ...For the far-left La France Insoumise, these developments are the “final straw” in a long-running campaign against NATO. The party has argued for years that the alliance outlived its purpose with the end of the Cold War. For American national-conservatives, the backlash reveals something they’ve seen—and resented—for a while. Western European elites demanding US protection while resenting its leadership. NATO’s security umbrella has allowed countries like France to underinvest in defense and maintain a robust social welfare net while criticizing the hand that feeds them. Last night, President Trump shared that Iranian leaders reached out to negotiate with him. President Trump just dropped this BOMBSHELL, Iranian leaders CALLED HIM YESTERDAY begging to negotiate! “They want to negotiate… a meeting is being set up, but we may have to act because of what’s happening, before the meeting.” The International Business Times reports on Iran’s currency crash: The Iranian rial has effectively collapsed, plummeting to an unprecedented low of more than 1.47 million per US dollar on unofficial markets this week. For comparison, the rial traded at roughly 70 to the dollar during the 1979 revolution; it has now lost approximately 20,000 times its value over four decades, according to The Economic Times. This is an extinction-level internal systems failure. 1. The currency has entered full reflexive death spiral: •Domestic trust is zero 2. Structural implications: •All imports halt immediately (fuel, food, medicine) 3. Command hierarchy is fracturing now: •IRGC cannot be paid in stable value 4. Global signaling effect: •This collapse removes all credibility from Iranian negotiating positions Regime Forecast: No currency = no supply chain = no governance = no control
