Now that Hasan Piker is reportedly under Treasury scrutiny, it is worth remembering that his Nuestra América convoy trip was set up by DSA’s Kate Willett and framed as an “influence delegation.” I wrote about it for City Journal days before the convoy even launched.

My latest for City Journal! In March, Hasan Piker, Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin, and dozens of other American activists traveled to Cuba with the Nuestra América Convoy, billed as a humanitarian mission. The convoy delivered more than 20 tons of aid in an effort Reuters characterized as “circumventing U.S. sanctions.” It also placed American activists in events facilitated by Cuban state-linked institutions, amplified regime propaganda, and gave Cuban officials a platform to address an American audience. Then came the enforcement... May - Treasury subpoenas sought information about the convoy and its participants. June - The United States sanctioned ICAP and Amistur, which helped facilitate foreign delegations to Cuba. ICAP has long been viewed by U.S. intelligence agencies and Cuban defectors as a front for Cuban intelligence. July - The State Department detailed decades of Cuban espionage and collaboration with far-left radical organizations in America. Hasan and Medea will attract the headlines. But the scrutiny surrounding the convoy may be only the opening phase of a much broader crackdown on foreign influence operations. Treasury has made the first move. DOJ, Florida’s attorney general, and others could be next as the administration mounts a full-court press against malign foreign influence.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: "The Treasury Department is now investigating Hasan Piker and Code Pink, who hosted his trip to Cuba." "The feds are looking at funding for the trip, which something is tied to the CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY." 🤯 Piker is cooked! His traitorous activities are coming back around! "Also under scrutiny, American businessmen and social activists Neville Roy Singham, who has donated to Code Pink in the past and has alleged ties to China through his business dealings." "The investigation is looking at his trip, which involved as many as 40 American citizens who joined what is being called a Marxist convoy to Havana." "The Trump administration wants to know if Piker and Code Pink violated US laws and sanctions in support of Cuba's Communist government. For now, nobody has been charged." Lucas Tomlinson

Sean O'Malley reveals what he originally had planned for his 'salute' celebration: "Originally, I was gonna hurt him, rock him, salute, and then finish up with a 1-2. That was the whole plan. We talked about doing that 5 weeks before the fight... I wrote it in my journal. It just happened so beautifully... I think I hit it before he even hit the ground."

🚨 Hasan Names Singham, PSL, ANSWER, and Code Pink in One Breath On stream today, Hasan Piker discussed the reported Treasury scrutiny and said the broader target is “probably Singham” and “his operation,” naming PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation), ANSWER Coalition, Code Pink, and “anything that he has ever financed.” He then acknowledged that Roy Singham lives in China and has been “a funding vehicle” for political movements and activism in the United States. That is exactly why this matters. This was never just about one influencer’s Cuba trip. It is about the Singham-linked ecosystem, the groups it funds, the delegations it supports, and the political operations built around them. Hasan didn’t refute the network. He mapped it.

At around 1 PM on Saturday, an Assam Rifles convoy coming from Ukhrul HQ reportedly forced its way through a barricade set up by local women at Talui village amid rising tensions. Gunfire was alleged as the convoy crossed, triggering panic and leaving one woman injured. As the convoy moved towards Hoomi, locals attempted to intercept it again, but firing was reported there as well, with one man sustaining injuries. Two locations, one convoy, and a district pushed closer to the brink. #Ukhrul #Manipur #AssamRifles #NortheastIndia

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. The US Treasury subpoenas into Hasan Piker and CODE Pink could lead back to NEVILLE SINGHAN, a Chinese-based billionaire megadonor "Neville Roy Singham living in China has pumped $285 million into nonprofits, INCLUDING one of the nonprofits that HASAN PIKER accompanied called Code Pink." 🤯 "Financial records, his communications, his logistics, and whether he was working and aiding and abetting the Communist regime of Cuba." "It could apply also in the activities that Hasan Piker has been involved in...there could be that you're violating the sanctions, so that's one set of laws." "And then another one is that you could be doing influence peddling for a foreign nation, and that's this law where you have to register." "[Singham is a name] I hope everyone will learn, because that is what you see on the streets of America, that when you see these protests that talk about fascism." — Asra Nomani EXPOSE IT ALL! The evidence is there!

🚨 This Old Hasan Cuba Clip Aged Like a Federal Exhibit Here is an old clip of Hasan explaining why he canceled a previous Cuba trip. “I did cancel the Cuba trip, yes, because I didn’t want to go to prison.” Now he’s reportedly under Treasury/OFAC scrutiny over Cuba sanctions, and if violations were proven, that fear would look a lot less hypothetical. Maybe Hasan should have listened to Hasan. And somehow, seconds later, he pivots into explaining the “context” for why the U.S. “deserved 9/11.”

Now that Treasury is reportedly probing Medea Benjamin and Hasan Piker over the Cuba convoy, Medea’s own report-back from the Nuestra América Convoy deserves another look. The reported probe is tied to possible Cuba sanctions and travel violations, with OFAC involved. And in barely three minutes, Medea practically narrates the subpoena checklist herself: A planning meeting in Colombia with Progressive International’s David Adler and other activists. Gaza flotilla veterans. Fourteen to twenty tons of aid. More shipments coming. Solar panels. Pacemakers. Travel pipelines into Cuba. And explicit encouragement for Americans to go there and spend dollars. Then come the little IYKYK details: praise for Gerardo Hernández of the Cuban Five, plus solidarity and travel coordination with ICAP. By their own telling, this was never just “humanitarian aid.” It was material aid, travel, money, propaganda, and political coordination wrapped into one Cuba operation.

Hutch says it can be reasonably inferred that Hasan’s preference in 2024 was for Donald Trump to win, arguing that it’s because Hasan is an accelerationist “I’m not even kidding I think that was his preference” “He’s not even fully in the closet about being an accelerationist”

Sam Seder and Emma Vigeland speaking about the outlandish smear campaign against Hasan Piker : "Here is Fox News, who have covered Hasan Piker for 25 days straight. I'm jealous. Oh, man, I don't get why Fox News is bothering, but I mean, to each their own. It is a way it again, it's just like it functions the exact same purpose as the ballroom. Gas prices are high, Hasan Piker. Yeah. He's probably high. Or it's like, get this name into grandpa's head so that he can be mad that his 23-year-old grandson is into it or something like that. Definitely. It's all just a distraction. But they want to define him. If this was October, it would be War on Christmas. It's not. So it's War on Piker. That's it. They're very good at... at just being opportunistic."

In 2015 American citizen Kate Steinle was killed in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant. The illegal had previously been deported five times and just a few months before killing Kate, he was in prison in San Francisco. ICE had issued a detainer for him but the prison ignored it because SF is a sanctuary city. This is an amazing clip. It shows how reflexive it is for Democrats to attempt to protect illegals and sanctuary cities, even when it makes no sense. July, 2015. Pelosi is asked about Kate Steinle. She immediately starts saying that Kate's death had nothing to do with the fact that SF is a sanctuary city. She then asks why the prison didn't turn the illegal over to ICE. The answer is because San Francisco is a sanctuary city.

Twitch Streamer Hasan Piker questions the "true ambitions" of YouTuber Ethan Klein's lawsuit as the petition mentions Hasan Piker. Twitch streamer Hasan Piker does not understand why YouTuber Ethan Klein is making remarks on how Hasan Piker should be helping out Kaceytron, Frogan, and Denims financially in the lawsuit. Despite Hasan Piker gesturing himself as a socialist, and publicly indirectly gesturing that he would help them. Hasan Piker is again quoted: “Whether I do or do not help any of these people, you will never know about it" Which initially prompted people to call Hasan Piker out as a socialist grifter.

🚨 Secretary of State Marco Rubio just announced sanctions against the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, better known as ICAP, along with associated Cuban entities like Amistur. For those who haven’t been following this closely, ICAP and Amistur were behind the travel logistics for Progressive International’s “Nuestra América” convoy, the same Cuba trip joined by Hasan Piker and Medea Benjamin. This is a clip I captured while attending the Cuba Normalization Conference at the CUNY Graduate Center. In it, ICAP’s Leima Martínez Freire says other Cuba delegations were organizing through Amistur and that Progressive International would be bringing its delegates to ICAP headquarters on March 21.

🧵 I watched Hasan’s Cuba doc so you don’t have to A regular Hasan viewer asked me to watch his Cuba documentary, seemingly because it would change my mind. It actually did the opposite. We are still waiting to learn more about the reported OFAC probe into the Nuestra América Cuba convoy, which Fox says involves as many as 40 Americans, including Hasan Piker. But this is the “journalism” Hasan is going to point to as proof that his Cuba trip was legitimate. The medical missions are presented as pure humanitarian virtue, with no serious scrutiny of the forced-labor allegations, how much of the doctors’ pay the regime keeps, or whether host countries are receiving fully accredited care. Cuba’s blackout-ridden, Soviet-era power grid becomes a story about American cruelty and heroic solar panels from China, not the regime’s decades of mismanagement. The medical “miracle cures” get the soft-touch treatment too, with no real interrogation of what has actually been proven, what is still experimental, and what is just regime hype. And the doc literally ends with a close-up on The People’s Forum, CODEPINK, a Fidel Castro billboard reading “Fidel, faithful to your legacy,” as Hasan repeats the revolutionary slogan “Patria o muerte, venceremos.” But wait, there’s more.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is nothing like the book it came from. And that’s a good thing. Even the author preferred the film so much that he wrote his sequel as a follow-up to the movie and dismissed the original novel as Jessica Rabbit’s bad dream.
