🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING 2: The 2025 May Day trip of SLC Armed Queers to Cuba: "Well, if we're terrorists, we're proud to be terrorists"
I've obtained a now-deleted video.
In it, Ermiya Fanaeian and an unidentified man named Connor talk openly about:
👉 Palestinian students at Cuba’s ELAM “studying revolution” alongside medicine
👉 Brigadistas from around the world being brought for “revolutionary orientation”
👉 How every aspect of Cuban society is dedicated to training "organizers" and are open about the terrorist label to the point they lament US institutions do not allow them to "to speak in such a way"
The trip was run through the National Network on Cuba (NNOC), linked to the Cuban state, with has U.S. NGOs as members, many of whom are linked to Neville Singham NGOs.
SLC Armed Queers is currently under federal investigation for advanced knowledge of the Charlie Kirk assassination.
And remember: Fanaeian was honored by Utah Global Diplomacy, a State Dept–connected NGO.
These are the people who are handpicked to run our state department.
As always, patience as I put together the thread.

In the above video, SLC Armed Queers describe how Palestinian med students in Cuba "studied revolution" alongside medicine, and how brigadistas from around the world were recruited for "revolutionary orientation" to learn how to fight the U.S. blockade. But there's more.

In the same deleted video, SLC Armed Queers recount Cuban med students declaring “If we’re terrorists, we’re proud to be terrorists” at an official school event. They also praise Cuba’s president for sounding like a U.S. street organizer and openly backing a “liberated Palestine.”

There's a jump in the clip above (I'll try and figure out how to post the clip in its entirety tomorrow) -- but the transcript is:
"And they were saying, "Well, if we're terrorists, we're proud to be terrorists, because we're sending doctors around the world.And if that's our terror, then, then so be it," right? And I thought that was so beautiful, because even their students are at that level of consciousness. Mm-hmm. And I don't think you could ever hear a medical school or any institution in our current country, in our current conditions in America, allowing for their students to speak in such a way at an official institutional event."
In other words, they want to be able to train in revolutionary tactics in the open.

Before I go, I am using @jsolomonReports and @JustTheNews heavily on this . I am trying to provide new material. justthenews.com/nation/extremi…

@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews The May 2025 trip was part of National Network on Cuba, which is very closely linked to the Cuban state government itself via ICAP (Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples).
7
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews This is not the first time I've discussed the ICAP; Global Exchange (founded by CODE Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin) is affiliated with them.

🧵 THREAD: The history of Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODE PINK
Jodie Evans gets most of the attention as the co-founder of CODEPINK and Neville Singham's wife. But Medea Benjamin's history may be more interesting.
While creating the linked thread below, I dived into Medea Bejamin briefly - who had an interesting history of speaking to Chinese media.
She co-founded Global Exchange with her husband, Kevin Danaher, which goes on a number of "Reality Trips" to various closed countries - Cuba, Venezuela, among others.
If you've followed me long enough ... you know that's a big red flag. State-facilitated exchange trips are one of the most common "soft power" tools that countries have in exporting their ideology to others.

@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews National Network on Cuba has a member of US organizations that readers of my feed will find familiar -- including Code Pink, Alliance for Global Justice, Democratic Socialists for America, and of course, Armed Queers of SLC.

What I found shocking was Armed Queer's outright admission that Cuba trains Palestinian medical students in revolution, to the point where they describe themselves as terrorists.
Cuban provides free scholarships for Palestinian students to study medicine. And now it's a lot more clear why.

@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews And the Cuban government itself announced and organized the May 2025 trip that SLC Armed Queers went on. cubaminrex.cu/es/cuba-convoc…
11
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews Of course, the Cuban government is notoriously poor and shouldn't be able to subsidize scholarships.
Who gives them financial aid? Well.... Venezuela and Russia subsidize oil for them, but we are one of their top financial aid providers.

@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews NNOC, the umbrella organization which includes US-affiliated NGOs with Cuba, is one of only two "solidarity" organizations with the Cuban government.
13
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews In the video, Ermiya Fanaeian is full of praise for Cuban's progressive trans policies. In another clip elsewhere, they say Cuba is the most safe place they've ever been in.

@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews Fanaeian and Connor openly talk about how the May 2025 trip inspired them as to their chances of a successful revolution in the United States and in the world.
Did this impact the Charlie Kirk assassination?

@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews There could be a nonzero chance that SLC Armed Queers influenced Tyler Robinson.
Remember, Discord said specifically Robinson did not plan violence. They did not say whether others had planned violence.

@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews It was Barack Obama who started official, government sponsored cultural missions to Cuba (although the "private" NNOC predates this)
17
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews And don't forget to read the earlier linked report by John Solomon. The entire point of Armed Queers is to train "gay, queer, and transgender people to arm themselves and fight against capitalism and the American system."
18
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews So:
Armed Queers SLC went to Cuba for training in revolutionary tactics.
Armed Queers SLC talked about being inspired in bringing home the revolution.
Armed Queers SLC is a NGO dedicated to training other gay, transgender, and queer people.
Seeing the big picture?

@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews . @lamps_apple sent me a video but I can't share because it's on X DM - she posted a video to recruit others to the Cuban cause. Unclear if this video was posted before or after May Day. If after May Day, it shows that the trip itself was a radicalizing factor.
20
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews @lamps_apple Some more receipts:
21
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews @lamps_apple The May Day Brigade was one of its largest ever in Cuba. The official state newspaper tied it directly to a "tightening of the blockade" ... which I interpret that loosely to mean foreign assistance and other punitive measures the US is putting on their allies.
22
@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews @lamps_apple Here is the video from @lamps_apple - this is Ermiya Fanaeian allegedly dated to September 3rd 2025, just one week before the assassination, promoting the Cuban revolution.
It seems more likely she was radicalized by the trip.
Who else was also radicalized?

@jsolomonReports @JustTheNews @lamps_apple I am going to end the thread for now and get some sleep.
Safe to say: Communist subversion is alive and well in the United States.
