Journalist Caroline Glick discusses this latest development, explaining that these protests were a premeditated operation orchestrated by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps to paralyze the global economy.
——————————————————-
On Monday, a wave of coordinated attacks orchestrated by terror supporters swept across America, causing significant disruptions to travel and commerce and raising concerns about domestic terrorism. Demonstrators affiliated with Hamas and Hezbollah, designated terrorist organizations, alongside Communist groups, instigated road blockades in multiple states, targeting key transportation arteries and major airports.
The demonstrators, operating as Iranian regime agents, united under the banner of a global “economic blockade to free Palestine.” However, beneath this purportedly altruistic facade lies a sinister agenda: the destruction of Israel and the destabilization of Western governments. This convergence of extremist ideologies underscores the gravity of the situation, as these groups share a common goal of sowing discord and undermining the foundations of democracy.
Organizers behind the ‘Coordinated Economic Blockade to Free Palestine’ are affiliated with the radical and violent Iranian-backed “A15Action” group and their Economic Blockade movement, and their website serves as a platform to advertise the demonstrations. In a video released by the radicals, they declared, ‘On April 15th, people from over 30 cities around the world will launch a global economic blockade in response to the call from Gaza to fight for a liberated Palestine.’ Emphasizing the need for substantive action beyond symbolic gestures of solidarity, they asserted, ‘We will block logistical hubs to stop the flow of capital worldwide. This is just the beginning.’ Notably, the domestic terrorists explicitly stated their intention to refrain from cooperation with law enforcement agencies and pledged solidarity across cities facing repression.
The list of participating cities spans the globe, underscoring the international scope of the movement, with locations including Mexico City, Bogota, Seoul, Melbourne, Athens, London, New York City, Oakland, Philadelphia, Seattle, and numerous others, demonstrating the widespread coordination of these disruptive actions.
In Illinois, California, New York, Texas, Virginia, and the Pacific Northwest, roadways became battlegrounds as radicals obstructed traffic flow, temporarily halting travel into some of the nation’s busiest airports. The Golden Gate, Brooklyn Bridges, and the Newburgh Beacon Bridge in Upstate New York fell victim to the blockade, exacerbating commute times and triggering widespread chaos.

In Chicago, protesters formed human chains, effectively sealing off lanes on Interstate 190 leading to O’Hare International Airport. Travelers were urged to seek alternative transportation options as car travel ground to a halt during the morning rush hour.
Similarly, in the San Francisco Bay Area, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge became a symbol of resistance as activists shut down all vehicular, pedestrian, and bike traffic, causing extensive delays and frustration among commuters.

Chained to 55-gallon drums filled with cement, protesters further obstructed Interstate 880 in Oakland, intensifying gridlock and exacerbating tensions.
All lanes on I-880 in Oakland have also been shut down by the misfits.

Brooklyn, Eugene, and the Hudson Valley were not spared from the onslaught, as demonstrators disrupted traffic flow on the Brooklyn Bridge, Interstate 5 in Oregon, and the Newburgh Beacon Bridge, respectively. Chants calling for genocide reverberated through the crowds, amplifying the sense of alarm.

Near Seattle, the main road to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was closed off by demonstrators, who brandished Palestinian flags and unfurled banners in a show of defiance. The blockade, which lasted for several hours, underscored the far-reaching impact of these coordinated attacks and the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in maintaining public safety.
Connecticut
In Connecticut, the radicals targeted the Pratt & Whitney Factory in Middletown. They claimed to be targeting Pratt & Whitney’s involvement in producing F-35 fighter jets purchased by Israel. The defense contractor provides engines used in the jets. Several people were arrested by Middletown police Monday morning after chaining themselves together and blocking entrances to the Pratt & Whitney plant.
(1/3) More than 50 protestors from NYC & CT shut down Pratt & Whitney Factory in Middletown, Connecticut demanding it halt its profiting from ongoing genocide in Gaza; Israel has been using planes powered by Pratt & Whitney’s engines to drop bombs on Gaza.

Arlington, Virginia
The radicals targeted the offices of prominent military contractors in Crystal City, Virginia, this morning.
The protest began in front of the Boeing corporate headquarters and then marched to the Lockheed Martin building in Arlington.
A sign held by the protesters, as seen in a video posted to social media, read, “Stand with Palestinian resistance! End all funding of Israeli apartheid.

Portland, Oregon
In Portland, Oregon, the radicals blocked multiple entrances to Intel facilities for over two hours. Their protest is aimed at Intel Corporation’s intentions to construct a $25 billion new chip plant in southern Israel, accept a $3.2 billion grant from the Israeli government, and commit to purchasing $16.6 billion worth of goods from Israeli suppliers. As one of the world’s largest technology corporations, Intel’s network of campuses in Hillsboro, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, constitutes its largest facility.

San Antonio, Texas
This morning, the radicals targeted Texas and temporarily shut down access to Valero Energy in San Antonio for a couple of hours, effectively blocking multiple access points. They allege that Valero has been a significant exporter of military-grade jet fuel to Israel. In a media release, participants stated: “We gathered to grieve and honor the over 33,000 Palestinians—around 40% of them children—killed since October 7th, and to take a principled stand against our participation in a global economy complicit in genocide.
Minnesota
In Minnesota, the radicals targeted Amazon, as stated on their Facebook page: “We are shutting down Amazon, which contracts with the Military to surveil Palestinians. This technology also harms Amazon workers, many of whom show solidarity with us by raising their fists as we shut down their facility.”

Ottawa, Canada:
The widespread and well-coordinated actions of Iranian-backed A15Action and their economic blockades across multiple continents illustrate not merely a protest movement but a profound threat to international order and security. As roads and bridges become battlegrounds and major economic arteries are choked by demonstrations operating as Iranian regime agents, the implications stretch far beyond localized disruptions, posing a direct threat to national security, financial stability, and public safety.
The explicit refusal to cooperate with law enforcement and the aggressive tactics employed by these demonstrators under the guise of political protest blur the lines between activism and anarchy/terrorism. Therefore, governments and international bodies must treat these incidents with the seriousness they warrant, reinforcing security measures and enhancing cooperative efforts to safeguard the public and ensure the smooth operation of global commerce.
If left unchecked, the actions of groups like A15Action could set a precedent that encourages further lawlessness, potentially spiraling into greater violence and instability. The global community must recognize and confront this burgeoning threat, ensuring that the foundational principles of democracy and international law are not eroded by those operating on behalf of foreign terrorist groups and regimes who seek to destabilize society under the banner of liberation.
Back (1979ish)when they burned down the former shah of iran’s house in California, the subversives blocked some key freeways during rush hour. I remember as I was coaching baseball for my little brother’s team —after work. We were stuck in traffic for hours. So, this tactic is nothing new.
Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz are key geographical locations that iran will use to stop the flow of oil. When this happens, expect major economic problems.
When Trump gets re-elected the best part will be deporting and punishing all these useless idiots!
Lefties suffer from oikophobia. Shape up, or ship out. Sick of these bastards!
Can easily be stopped. Apparently governments have no interest in stopping it.
At this point in time, people wearing a face diaper must be certified as mental defective masktards. I recommend placing plastic bags over their heads, and using a cinch knot at the neck, then toss them over the bridge rails!
Always carry the large Bear spray of Perrer spray.
That “Don’t “ from the worst president ever really stopped them dead in their tracks, huh? Thanks Joe “open borders” Biden.
Trump would put a stop to this real quick but the Biden administration just kisses their asses. They are a bunch of communists in on the destroy America agenda of the WEF. “America cannot remain a superpower nation for the one world order to work.” WEF
