The FBI did not. "I am the leftist who put algae in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. This plan was months in the making.

This is also among the most direct nuclear weapons advocacy published on Iranian state media to date.

The worst person in the world-- white supremacist mega-oligarch Felon Musk -- a kobold that has been propagating industrial scale racism through his vast social media platforms for years, including causing deadly xenophobic riots in the UK, now wants you to watch a film about a violent white anti-immigrant vigilante.
