Thank you comrade @kimives13 for your support!
Speak out and take any action you can against Washington placing on its "no fly list" of another prominent U.S. journalist... @ChrisHelali. Don't be complacent. This sanction will be leveled against anybody who is effectively challenging U.S. imperialism's narrative.

Check out another great episode @GFCNofficial!
Ever shared something that seemed true — but wasn’t? That’s called a factoid. Not a fact. Not a lie. Something in between — and way more misleading. In this OUT OF FAKES episode @ChrisHelali explains why factoids are more dangerous than obvious lies — and how they spread.

We will not be silenced! Journalism is NOT a crime!
WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!!! Yesterday, our colleague and DD Geopolitics correspondent Chris was told that the US government has placed him on the FBI's no-fly list while trying to board a flight in Beijing. He is an American citizen. He received no warning, no charge, and no reason. He found out only when the airline refused to issue his boarding pass after eight hours of waiting, stranding him abroad. As an American, he is now barred from flying to, from, or even over his own country. His "offense" is journalism. Chris was traveling to cover Iran's national team at the World Cup. In recent months he reported on the ground from Minab in southern Iran and from the site of the Starobelsk strike in the Donbass, where a dormitory full of teenagers was killed. His work documents the human cost of the wars Washington funds and fights: the children who never make the press releases. For that, an American citizen has been placed on a terrorism watchlist with no due process and no explanation. This is not a small thing. The no-fly list operates with almost no transparency, Americans are routinely listed without ever being told why, and the redress process is a black box that a federal court has already found violates constitutional due process. It is one of the most powerful quiet censorship tools the government holds, and it is now pointed at a journalist for reporting things they would rather no one see. DD Geopolitics will not be silenced. We are pursuing every legal avenue available to Chris, and we will not let this be buried. If they can do this to him with no warrant, no charge, and not one word of explanation, they can do it to any American who shows the world something it isn't supposed to see.

My statement on being added to the No Fly List.
🚨 BREAKING PRESS RELEASE! American journalist @ChrisHelali was on assignment heading to Mexico to cover the World Cup and meet the Iranian national team, Team Melli, based in Tijuana for the duration of the World Cup. Traveling from Moscow to Mexico City with a stop in Beijing on 10 June 2026, Christopher was informed by Chinese authorities upon landing in Beijing that he had to wait to get his new boarding pass. After 8 hours, Christopher was informed by Hainan Airlines staff that he was barred from traveling and was listed as a “no fly passenger.” Requesting follow up information, it became clear that Christopher was added by the United States government to the No Fly List which is maintained by the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center. Christopher was formerly on the Selectee List, enduring nearly a decade of intensive secondary screening with the notorious 4 S’s (SSSS) on his boarding passes both to and from the United States and between countries that crossed US airspace. This is an attack not only on journalistic freedom but on those who stand with Iran against the Epstein Coalition. In a statement, Christopher reiterated his solidarity with Iran, Team Melli, and all those who stand for justice. “What was done to me is but a small part of the injustice people face all over the world everyday at the hands of US-EU-NATO imperialism, fascism, and Zionism,” he said. “Our struggle is for all those students at Minab, all the children of Lebanon, Gaza, Donbass, and beyond who were denied a future by these monsters. It is a crime that the USA is hosting the World Cup which celebrates the friendship and unity of sport. The USA has blood on its hands! The struggle continues!”

In memory of Makan Nasiri and all the students of Minab! 💔 The US hosting the World Cup is a BETRAYAL of the spirit of football and sport. The blood of the innocent children of Minab is on the hands of Trump and the US government!

OUR EPISODE WITH @JohnKiriakou drops NOW!
🎥 Our interview with John Kiriakou drops in 30 minutes! John Kiriakou spent 30 months in federal prison for telling the truth. The architects of the CIA torture program walked free. Today he joins DDGeopolitics for the first time — and he has a lot to say. The entire US intelligence community wrote two unanimous National Intelligence Estimates concluding Iran had no nuclear weapons program. Ayatollah Khamenei issued a fatwa in 2003 declaring it a sin to develop one. None of that mattered. Netanyahu kept saying bomb Iran. Trump finally listened. And while all of this was unfolding, Congress passed Section 224 — permanently fusing the US and Israeli militaries — as the Defense Intelligence Agency issued a warning to its own employees about stepped up Israeli spying on the United States. This and more on today's show!
