Snow Day Insurrection

 

Typical Texan Street Scene

We're taking a snow day here at the Compound, which means, so far, walking a happy dog across the icy tundra of the perimeter, driving down ice covered roads to a near empty Walmart, buying a couple of frozen pizzas, cleaning guns and browsing through Signalgate on social media.

You've all heard of it of course, how naive Bolshevik revolutionaries banded together on Signal to disrupt and harass federal law enforcement in Minneapolis, only to get infiltrated and exposed. Apparently the list of Cultural Marxist signalers includes journalists, politicians, foreign actors and more, far more. And, to give the commies credit, they seem to have set up quite the network. Eric Schwalm comments:

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.

What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.

Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.

This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.

The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.

I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.

Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore. 

It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

 

Right on, Chief. Above in mind, do you think we're just at the deranged larping stage of an insurrection or something more substantial? 

For what little it's worth, I call next level bet-the-welfare-check larping with a big dose of FO heading to the FA. As in, Rainbow Marxists agitating for Minneapolis to become the next Fallujah. They really don't want that, or even something remotely approaching it. But that's just me on a snow day, do feel free to disagree.

Texan Winter Wonderland

 

You're thinking winter, in Texas, some kind of joke? No, it's not, especially when it's so rare. That in mind, the Compound woke up to an icy wonderland and it only seemed right to go for a stroll through the freezing crystalline whiteness of it all. Call it a recce patrol if you like.

Very few cars or trucks, snow compacted into ice, a biting westerly wind, wind chill in the minus something, Meth Shack now refurbed as an Hispanic worker dorm, Pick 'n Steal standing but shut because cold, Brookshire's remarkably open. I walked in, just to get out of the biting cold.

Then back to the Compound via the Narnia streets and boulevards of this once prosperous little town now, tragically, turned to ICE. That in mind, Walmart was like a riot scene in Minneapolis without the riot, just excited crews of Mexicans wondering at the emptiness of it all and looking for bargains. Fair play.

Now we're in the midst of roasting a chicken, affordable, and listening to Ella Fitzgerald. Life is good.

ICE STORM ARMAGEDDON

 

Yeah, the Weather escalated, firing down in this sleepy little Texan market towne. Are we prepared? 

You better believe it we are. Hat on head and .44 style. Hey, we can always shoot the snow if it gets ahead of itself. But more on this icy deluge later. In the meanwhile, we're fixing to roast a chicken while we still have power. See you on the other side.

ICE AGE ESCHATON

 

maybe upgrade the dam "bipod"

Our Old Enemy, the Weather, is up to its old tricks. You see, it was supposed to freeze and rain down ice upon this sleepy Texan farming community at around 2 am this morning, but it didn't. No, it just rained through most of the night and only started to spit down ice crystals at around 7 am, leaving the roads wet but drivable.

So I figured it made sense to go on a recce patrol to Walmart, which was pretty much empty. I tell you, fire a canon in that store and you won't hit anyone. Mission accomplished, and back at the warm Compound, things started to change. It's got colder, as cold as ice, and threatens to bombard us with freezing drizzle, sleet and snow into Sunday. 

What's happened here is this. The Weather, being smart, launched a massive early storm disinfo campaign to cover a reconnaissance in force, and only now is it gearing up for the main offensive, pushing over the line from the Metrosprawl into Hill County and beyond.

We're not phased, we can always shoot the snow with an old but deadly battle rifle, 7.62 style, thank you very much. Heavy beast but it does work. In related news, some guy in Minneapolis tried it on with ICE, larping as a Bolshevik revolutionary and armed to boot. He got shot, go figure.

I hate that outcome, I really do, but what do you expect? Go up against armed cops with a gun and it won't go well with you. More to the point, if you're going to play civil war don't be surprised when the other side shoots back. It's like an axiom.

WINTER STORM APOCALYPSE

 

General Winter is upon us, with weather pundits predicting a ferocious ICE STORM hitting the North Central Texas Exclusion Zone as early as Friday afternoon and continuing on until Sunday. Freezing rain, sleet, ice, and then snow, such is our ancient adversary's revenge on the Lone Star State for failing to pay the weather tax. No carbon credits for you, Texans.

We'll see how this Ice Age Apocalypse unfolds, and if worse comes to worse we'll start burning last year's broken furniture on a fire kindled by long forgotten tracts from the erstwhile Episcopal Church. Stay tuned for photos of fire, ice, and collapsing rainbow globalism.

Speaking of which, have you seen 47's performance at the loathsome WEF? Quite a thing and, apparently, we now own Greenland but don't have to pay for the purchase. Russian strongman, Putin, is apparently in favor. Well, why should he like the annoying Danes. But could Greenland, the WEF and this catastrophic storm be cover for something more serious?

As in a Prince of Persia Boss game. You'll note Globemaster flow, the Jordanian air corridor, Iranian radar being switched off and Great Britain's mighty multicultural aerial Rainbowforce being deployed to Qatar. Wow, imagine the damage all those maybe 10 planes are going to do to the Mullahs in Tehran.

I'm a bit late to the party but you might have noticed an online propaganda game put out by UKGOV, Pathways. This clever game featured an attractively purple haired young girl called Amelia who was, tragically, a bit right of center. Bad Amelia! And if you played the game, thought the genius patrol who made it up, you too would become a multicultural rainbow utopian.

You'll be amazed to know that this risible attempt at gamer agitprop failed miserably, succeeding in turning Amelia into a national icon, and forcing Whitehall's rainbow despots to shut it down. But the toothpaste's clearly out of the tube, have a look:

What A Time To Be Alive

Don Lemon, celebrity rainbow socialist worth $20 million, looks set to be hit with the Klan Act on Martin Luther King day, no less. Outstanding. Maybe super rich commie Lemmon should've thought twice before leading a mob of open borders Bolsheviks into a church service in Minneapolis to terrorize worshippers. Maybe he's going to have to spend some of that hefty socialist 20MN$ on lawyering up.

 

We can but hope, ahem, BONDI, and what can I say. The Klan Act, Don Lemon, MLK day, what a time to be alive. Of course it'd be even better if one of these literal malfeasants were actually locked up, but that's another story. In the meanwhile, let's hear it for Nicki Minaj.

Behold The Lamb Of God

 

John the Baptist sees Jesus and exclaims, "Behold the Lamb of God!,"  the sacrificial lamb without blemish who will die for us, a sinless sacrifice for the remission of sin. Benedict XVI comments:

Jesus celebrated the Passover without a lamb and without a temple; yet, not without a lamb and not without a temple. He himself was the awaited Lamb, the true Lamb, just as John the Baptist had foretold at the beginning of Jesus' public ministry: "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (Jn 1: 29).

And he himself was the true Temple, the living Temple where God dwells and where we can encounter God and worship him. His Blood, the love of the One who is both Son of God and true man, one of us, is the Blood that can save. His love, that love in which he gave himself freely for us, is what saves us. The nostalgic, in a certain sense, ineffectual gesture which was the sacrifice of an innocent and perfect lamb, found a response in the One who for our sake became at the same time Lamb and Temple.

Thus, the Cross was at the centre of the new Passover of Jesus. From it came the new gift brought by him, and so it lives on for ever in the Blessed Eucharist in which, down the ages, we can celebrate the new Passover with the Apostles.

From Christ's Cross comes the gift. "No one takes [my life] from me, but I lay it down of my own accord". He now offers it to us.

 

Yes, in his body and blood, given and shed for us on the Cross, the all sufficient sacrifice made present for us on the Altar. Receive this gift.

Two of John's disciples follow Jesus after the Baptist's witness, they want to know where Jesus is staying. He answers them, "Come and see." They do, and acknowledge him as the Christ, "We have met the Messiah." We ask the same, where does God reside? Not least in his death for us on Calvary, made present in the Mass, from which flows the forgiveness of sins and life itself.

Do not scorn this but instead draw near with faith to Christ and in our communions meet the holy Lamb of God. Then proclaim him as the Spirit anointed Son of God, the Savior.

In Aeternum,

Greenland Alien Tech

 

What's really beneath the ICE of Greenland?, why would President Trump push this issue to edge of breaking NATO itself? Good question, and here's Paul White Gold Eagle in answer:

The Keystone Beneath the Ice

In summer 2018, a classified U.S. Air Force survey from Thule Air Base detected a massive artificial structure three kilometers under Greenland’s eastern ice sheet: 420 meters long, perfectly symmetrical, with a faint energy signature. Drilling confirmed an alien craft—intact, ancient, its hull of unknown self-repairing alloy.

The discovery went straight to President Trump on August 12, 2018. After a terse briefing, he issued clear orders: “Secure it completely. No leaks, no sharing. Get Greenland if needed.”

Trump grasped the stakes instantly. The melting ice would expose the site within decades. The technology—unlimited energy, gravitational propulsion, revolutionary materials—would decide global primacy. China and Russia were already maneuvering in the Arctic. Only exclusive U.S. control was acceptable.

He personally directed Project POLAR VAULT, a black program reporting to the White House. Excavation began in 2019: a hidden subsurface complex built into the ice. Top scientists worked in isolation.

Publicly, Trump opened talks with Denmark in early 2019, then in August publicly floated buying Greenland. The world laughed, calling it eccentric real-estate thinking. In reality, it normalized U.S. strategic focus on the island and bought time.

Reverse-engineering delivered results fast.

2020: inertial damping field tested successfully. 2022: reactionless gravitational propulsion demonstrated. 2023: vacuum-energy reactors producing megawatts. 2024: alien computing substrates broke every foreign cipher.

Protection was relentless. Russian and Chinese probing was detected and blocked without escalation.

In 2025, the Greenland Strategic Autonomy Accord was signed: permanent U.S. security jurisdiction over key zones, exclusive research rights, full defense responsibility—in exchange for massive economic investment and retained local self-governance. Nuuk approved overwhelmingly; Copenhagen accepted the inevitable.

By 2026, the craft remained in place, still yielding secrets. American power had quietly transformed: absolute energy independence, unmatched strategic deterrence, restored technological dominance for generations.

History would argue over Trump’s methods and rhetoric. But on Greenland and the buried alien vessel, his vision proved correct: some discoveries are too critical to share, some responsibilities too great for any nation but America to carry.

The ice continued to melt. The secret stayed secure. The future belonged to the United States.

 

What can we say? ICE.

Send It To Gaol

 

OK, you might say "jail," but the song remains the same. Are the Clintons too powerful to be imprisoned? Looks that way, doesn't it. Then there's precious metal, notably silver. Have you noticed? More paper than physical, and surely there's a parable for our times in this fiscal skulduggery, to say nothing of malfeasance. Here's Danny:

THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE

I’ve been analyzing this for the last 24 hours and this is VERY BAD.

World silver production: ~800M ounces

BofA & Citi shorts: 4.4 BILLION

I’ve spent two decades in macro, and I thought I had seen it all.

I WAS WRONG.

If silver keeps going up, the biggest banks in america will collapse.

Here’s what I uncovered:

Yesterday, silver hit $92. Then it dropped over 6% in a few minutes, pumped back up to around $91, and now it’s crashing again.

I’ve spent 20 years in these markets. Most people see a normal correction, but I see a TRAP.

At $90/oz, their combined short position is now a ~$390 BILLION liability.

That’s larger than the market cap of most global banks.

This is literally survival. The banks are doing everything they can to stay afloat.

WHY THE DIP TO $86 OVERNIGHT?

They had to do it. If silver had broken $100 yesterday, margin calls would have liquidated those banks.

They unloaded paper contracts during thin overnight liquidity to FORCE THE PRICE DOWN.

But look closer at the physical market:

While the paper price dropped $6, lease rates just went vertical.

The cost to borrow physical silver is skyrocketing.

We are in BACKWARDATION.

Spot Price > Futures Price.

It means people don’t want paper promise in 6 months, they want the metal NOW.

THE MATH IS TERMINAL:

We know the shorts are 4.4B ounces.

We know annual mining is ~800M ounces.

But at $90+, the recycling supply dries up because people hoard.

And industrial demand (AI chips, solar, EVs) is inelastic, they must buy at any price to keep factories running.

BofA and Citi aren't just short the metal, they’re short the industrial revolution.

THE "FORCE MAJEURE" IS NEXT

I warned you 2 weeks ago about "cash settlement."

It’s already starting in the wholesale markets.

Dealers are quoting unavailable or 6-week delays for volume delivery.

When the price snaps back above $92, and it will, it won't stop at $100.

It will gap to $150 overnight when the first major short declares force majeure.

THE TWO MARKETS ARE DETACHING:

1. Screen Price ($88): A fiction maintained by algorithms.

2. Street Price: Unobtainable.

They’re shaking the tree one last time to get your physical…

BUT DO NOT SELL.

We are witnessing the death of the paper derivative market in real-time.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the commodities supercycle.

How do I know all of this?

I’ve studied macro for 10 years and I called almost every major market top, including the October BTC ATH.

 

 

Of course history has a way of cheating the prophets, but you might want to hold onto your physical silver even as you hope for Hillary's imprisonment. Oh, and let's add genius vocalist Yoko Ono too.

Not So Open Border

 

Middle aged  Leftist white wymxn and kidz are freaking out because illegal immigrants are being held accountable for being exactly that, illegal. At the risk of repeatedly banging on the same old drum, since when did it become Fascist for a country to have an actual border? 

Like, how dare they export our votes! Maybe when people have had enough of a cabal of crooks in DC deciding to import the vote, and another gang of PR crooks on K Street clothed the infamous vote grab in "humanity" and "tolerance." That'll snag the NPR heartland they thought, and so, apparently, it has. Well, they're clever, and paid for it, it's their job. Pan to Minneapolis, Portland and wherever else.

Leaving aside the bizarre spectacle of liberal white wymxn attacking cops for daring to arrest and deport savage desert Moslems who'd kill and enslave them, here's Sicario, widescreen it if you like.

Respect to the people who engage in this line of work. I can think of several on this shallow mind-blog alone. And remember, we are all Rhodesia now.

Say No To The Rainbow

 

And that's just in 2023, some 30 arrests per day in the UK for hurty words on the internet. Do you remember when the collective West used to prize itself as the "free world"? Part of that freedom meant free speech, as in we're free to express our opinions unlike the oppressed people of, say, the Soviet Union.

My, how that worm's turned. Don't you dare, UK serfs, get online and post anything contrary to the will of your corporate rainbow lib overlords. No, because hate speech isn't free speech, peasants. It's a bit like the logic of Climate Change, we're freer now because we have less freedom, just like it's colder because it's hotter.

Climate change in mind, do you think the people of the United Kingdom and everywhere else captured by cultural Marxism will simply kow-tow to their Rainbow Rulers? Perhaps they will, until they can't afford to actually eat above subsistence level and living in squalid state provided apartments becomes unbearable as their technocrat rulers fly the world in private jets.

Here in America we've said no to this, at least for now. That in mind, why should we contribute to the defense of the UK and Europe when that bloc of tyrannical leftist malfeasants is actively against our values? See Free World. Good question. Why should US taxpayers fund the oppression of UK people?

must do more of this...

Because we can use the Sceptered Isle as an unsinkable aircraft carrier? We do that already and don't need Kier Starmer's permission. Because if we don't the Russkies will pour into Europe and put an end to Pride parades forever? Wish they would but hey, they haven't even been able to take the Donbass much less all of Ukraine.

So maybe we need to redirect US FORPOL towards... regime change. Maduro down, tick, let's see Delta at No. 10. Maybe Rat Claw Rubio can serve as Proconsul in Britannia. Well, it couldn't get any worse.

A Short Sunday Sermon - Baptism Of Our Lord

 

You'll be intrigued to know I preached on Our Lord's baptism this morning, explaining that the waters of the Jordon prefigured a more agonizing baptism, that of the Cross. There on Calvary, the sinless Christ descends in solidarity with sinners into the dark waters of death, only to rise up, Spirit anointed, the acclaimed Son of the Father. 

So as with the Magi, we see Him manifest as our divine King who dies for the remission of sin, all this prefigured in the Jordan. Call to action? We who participate in this saving act by virtue of our incorporation into Christ begun at baptism must likewise manifest Him to the world. 

That was the gist of it and not bad for all that; the identifying gold, frankincense and myrrh, kingship, divinity and death, of the Feast of the Epiphany is carried forward into the revelation given to us at Christ's baptism. If you live in Him, and the Christian does, then you too must manifest His glory. But what does that look like or mean?

I gave this last aspect short treatment. Viz. stand fast to the Faith, flee from sin and boldly confess the Good News of salvation in Christ. True enough, but Farrer enlarges:

We never come to God without committing ourselves to him entirely, so far as in us lies, and in the present moment. It seems sometimes to be preached, however, that by a decision once for all made, we can commit ourselves irrevocably. But if this is preached, then it is not true. Today’s decisions cannot tie tomorrow’s hands. What I give to God today, such is my frailty, I may take back or withhold tomorrow. It is through this that God disciplines me, through this that he breaks my pride. The heart is sick and desperately perverse, even the redeemed heart: what it gave God yesterday it takes back today. Our wickedness is so great that we fail to do promised actions, which we had perfectly envisaged at the time of promising. But even if we had the virtue to keep our promise with God when the circumstances are foreseen and unaltered, we should still lack the power to commit ourselves on issues which cannot be perfectly felt or foreseen in advance. He who promises to be chaste, does well and may be perfectly sincere; but he has not by that promise dealt with the temptation he will face when he falls in mutual love with an actual woman, and cannot marry her. Our fences cannot be jumped beforehand, nor our battles won before the enemy appears. You promise fidelity to Christ today, and you are sincere; but it will spare you none of the agony of decision, if a day comes when political brigands hold to our heads the pistol of absolute power, and say, ‘Your religion or your life.’

No, we cannot commit ourselves in a day, because we cannot, merely by saying we will, put our whole trust in God. To trust in God is a thing which has to be learnt. We may stand up and make our profession of faith, clasp a missioner’s hand and say, ‘I have taken Christ for my Savior, I trust him for all.’ But we shall still trust ourselves to do our part in the new covenant we have entered. For we do not learn what dependence on God is, except through having our self-dependence broken in the mill of life, slowly and painfully. Many tears, much shame, continual repentance, this is the lot of those who pledge themselves to God. A paradoxical pledge; we learn to keep it by breaking it. True confessions, bravely and sincerely made to our confessor and absolved with the word of Christ, these are the means by which we learn distrust of ourselves, and trust in God alone. On every such occasion we affirm our self-commital. We bring to life every promise we previously made, back to our confirmation, back to our baptism when others’ lips promised for us, back behind that to the cross, on which Christ committed us to God by dying for us.

Many tears, much shame, continual repentance, this is the lot of those who pledge themselves to God...  On every such occasion we affirm our self-commital. We bring to life every promise we previously made, back to our confirmation, back to our baptism when others’ lips promised for us, back behind that to the cross, on which Christ committed us to God by dying for us.

The Music Of The Church

 

The Western Rite, dear friends, has beautiful music and it's part of our inheritance, an inheritance which has been trashed by the vandals who took control of our worship some 50 years ago. Out went plainsong, in came banalsong, nylon vestments and industrial attack language vernacular. The argument was and is simple, unless we ape secular fashion and trend we won't appeal to all the secularists.

So, get rid of our liturgy and music and all those disbelievers will come flocking to church, just you wait and see. Well, we've waited and we've seen, they haven't, go figure, step back in utter dumbfounded amazement. Vatican Two? Empty the pew. But all's not lost, listen to the Sisters of Aquinas sing the Veni Creator.

What is that, a seven person schola/choir? I tell you, If my country missions had even a four part equivalent people would drive for tens and tens of miles to worship with them, no kidding. We would stand out in the beauty of holiness, a beauty which the world and all of us badly need.

Surely a 4 person plainsong choir could be achieved, even in rural Texas, right here for the glory of God. That said, you might be surprised to know how hard such a thing is to achieve. Praise bands? Different story. But I won't bang on.

The Persians Are Revolting

 

It looks as though the Mullahs are about to go down in an Iran which will soon become Persia again. Thousands, some report millions, are on the streets protesting an Islamist regime which rose to power with the unholy help of Marxists in 1979. Nioh Berg reports on social media:

I can't overstate how monumental tonight is, as someone who has followed every major uprising since 2009.

The islamic regime has always fallen back on two things when pressured into a corner: 

1) Communication blackout

2) Mass murder

This has always worked in the past, silencing Iranians into going home battered, scared and traumatised. 

This time however, Iranians responded to both 1 and 2 by coming out in even greater numbers. This has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I tell you this as someone who saw the images of Neda Agha-Soltan's dying breaths in 2009, who saw the 2017 uprising crushed, who saw the 2019 November blackout and massacre, who saw the 2022 uprising fizzle into nothing after relentless oppression.

Not only has this movement not died out - for the first time there is a commanding leader and a guiding voice who makes calls and decisions for his people. He is the Shah of Iran, and the vast majority of Iran has proven to want him back on the throne. Nobody can deny this any longer.

And now, we have a unified Iran defying regime blackouts AND regime massacres, organising and fighting back, inflicting real and devastating casualties. There has been nothing like this ever. The regime did not expect people to come back out.

I repeat: This wasn't supposed to happen. This is a living nightmare for the mullahs and all their cheerleaders.

I don't know what happens next. All I know is this has moved from an uprising to a revolution.

 

You'll be unsurprised to know that protestors are burning down mosques, torching government buildings and going hard in the streets. You'll also be amazed to know that the BBC hasn't covered this revolution; surely they wouldn't want to offend the Islamo-Marxist vote on their home turf.

Thanks to Elon Musk and Starlink, the revolution's televised on X, the same platform Kier Starmer and his merry band of Crescent Moon Bolsheviks want to ban in the UK. Odd that, ain't it.

Why do you think the good Iranian people — fighting for their freedom (and indirectly our freedom) — did this?

Me? I never thought I'd say this, given ancestral rivalry stretching back to the days of Alexander the Great, but Godspeed to the Persians.

The Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, issued this request tonight on social media:

Mr. President, this is an urgent and immediate call for your attention, support, and action. Last night you saw the millions of brave Iranians in the streets facing down live bullets. Today, they are facing not just bullets but a total communications blackout. No Internet. No landlines.

Ali Khamenei, fearing the end of his criminal regime at the hands of the people and with the help of your powerful promise to support the protesters, has threatened the people on the streets with a brutal crack down. And he wants to use this blackout to murder these young heroes.

I have called the people to the streets to fight for their freedom and to overwhelm the security forces with sheer numbers. Last night they did that. Your threat to this criminal regime has also kept the regime’s thugs at bay. But time is of the essence. The people will be on the streets again in an hour. I am asking you to help.

You have proven and I know you are a man of peace and a man of your word. Please be prepared to intervene to help the people of Iran.

Following the Pahlavi's statement protests intensified, with many of those taking to the streets in their thousands chanting for the Shah's return.

 

Situation developing, unless you're a vastly overpaid member of the Rainbow Commie BBC.
