Let's imagine a free Iran. Imagine an Iran that is secular, democratic, stable, and a strong ally of the United States and Israel. Imagine a world where the Islamic Republic is no longer funding terrorism, and instead, a government that reflects the people of Iran is working alongside its allies to hunt down terrorists. This is what the golden age of the Middle East looks like. Removing the Islamic Republic changes the entire global landscape. Imagine an Iran that is no longer a playground for Russia and China, but a major US ally with immense strategic value and energy resources. We are talking about 90 million educated, entrepreneurial people who believe in liberty and democracy. A free Iran brings unprecedented stability and wealth to the entire region. Think about how much more secure the world would be with a free Iran. A nation fighting alongside America and Israel to defeat mutual enemies.

The massacre at the Bondi Hanukkah celebration was not an anomaly. It was the mathematical result of allowing Islamic extremism to dominate Sydney. For two years, the public square was surrendered to those chanting for the destruction of a people. We were told these were peaceful marches for "Palestinians" and that diversity was our strength. This was a lie. When you allow an ideology of conquest to take root, you do not get a multicultural debate. You get a war zone. The father and son who opened fire were merely the physical manifestation of the slogans we allowed to echo unanswered. We fed the beast of radicalism in the name of tolerance. As an Iranian, I recognize this specific Trojan horse: they use the Western language of "freedom" to install a regime that abolishes it. Now we are being devoured by it. The price of this cowardice is extinction.

“Cause good trouble. Plant better ideas.” In this episode of Libertarian Leadership Academy, Michael Pickens talks about taking on entrenched local power—from launching a recall effort against a county commissioner to challenging the system all the way to the Supreme Court. Even when the process is shut down, the impact matters. Joe Hannoush and Michael discuss how running for office creates opportunities to share libertarian solutions through local organizations, seed new ideas, and push conversations that wouldn’t happen otherwise. 🎯 Take the next step: 👉 Join the Libertarian Leadership Academy and learn how to run for office: http://www.libertarianleadership.org/ 👉 Join a supportive community of different libertarian groups and activists: 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Libertarianleadershipacademy 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LibertarianLeadershipAcademy Leadership starts with understanding—and action.
