U.S. ‘Influencers’ Jackson Hinkle, Max Blumenthal Support Regime at Khamenei Funeral

U.S. ‘Influencers’ Jackson Hinkle, Max Blumenthal Support Regime at Khamenei Funeral

Jackson Hinkle led the chants of “Down with the USA.”

Ayatollah Khamenei’s 6-day funeral ceremony has become a rallying point for the regime supporters and its useful idiots from the West.

Tehran flew in hundreds of foreign social media influencers to participate in the regime’s orchestrated display of anti-Western hate. The Jerusalem Post, citing Iranian state media, reported “that around 400 foreign bloggers and influencers were brought in” by the regime to witness Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral.

Leading the pack were Jackson Hinkle and Max Blumenthal. Hinkle, who built his fan base by supporting Putin and bashing Israel, took the stage at a gathering in Tehran to lead the chants of “Down with the USA.” Standing on the stage, he waved a reg flag, symbol of jihad and vengeance in Shia Islam.

Hinkle, not new to such unsavory company, attended the funeral of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah last year. In March 2025, he addressed a Houthi rally in Yemen, where his speech in English was greeted with Arabic chants of “Death to America.”

Not to be outdone, self-styled journalist Blumenthal was literally seen drumming for the regime, flanked by the flags of the Iranian regime and its terrorist proxy Hezbollah.

Seeing the frenzied anti-America crowd, Blumenthal was overcome by the emotion. Tehran’s Engelhab Square, where Hinkel called for “Death” to America and Israel, he declared, was “rocking tonight.”

Conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart was the first to see what Blumenthal was really about. “You are a despicable human being,” Breitbart said during a heated confrontation in 2010. “You have been programmed by some ungodly creature to be this character of hatred (…). ”

The regime fanboys from the U.S. were joined by the former British-Pakistani fashion influencer Bushra Shaikh. Hijab-clad Shaikh told her followers about the “exhilarating experience” of witnessing the regime-orchestrated show.

“A UK television personality went on two state-sponsored tours of Iran this spring where she met senior officials and was ‘active’ in spreading the regime’s message, according to an investigation by a Iranian factchecking organisation,” The Guardian reported in May. “Bushra Shaikh, from Surrey, owned a luxury clothing brand and finished ninth on series 13 of The Apprentice in 2017, where she described herself as ‘inspired by Coco Chanel.'”

Iran, along with Russia, China, Qatar, and Turkey, is waging a disinformation and demoralization campaign against the American public. Among anti-American influencers, ranging from radical left to woke right, these regimes find some of their most useful idiots.

I have no idea who Hinkle is but I know Blumenthal. Son of Sidney Blumenthal a Clinton confident. Provided intelligence on Libya prior to the debacle there despite the state department being banned from dealing with him. Israel hater. Now obviously an American hater too. A despicable clown.

Droning him would be too good for him. He deserves worse. Much worse.

    He deserves to be left right where he is, with his citizenship and passport revoked.

    From everything I’ve read, Sidney Blumenthal did more than “provide intelligence”.

    He was basically Hillary’s brain, because she didn’t have one, on everything related to foreign affairs. This became particularly odious when she was ludicrously appointed Secretary of State.

    For Libya, “wagging the dog” there was Blumenthal’s idea. He came up with it, Hillary ran with it, and Obama wanted no part of it – until he was dragged into it by the EU’s inability to maintain a very small scale air campaign against a pathetically weak opponent for more than 3 days, after which the US stepped in to prevent further humiliation of our NATO allies and Obama referred to this as “leading from behind”.

    I strongly suspect, but haven’t been able to prove, that the entire “Russia Hoax” plan was Blumenthal’s as well. Hillary’s campaign and the DNC split the cost on funding the creation of the infamous “dossier”, but I believe it was Blumenthal’s idea in the first place to get the media narrative off of Hillary’s emails by means of inventing a ‘scandal’ about Trump & Russia.

Seems easy enough to deny them re-entry into the USA as foreign terrorists. Certainly enough for the no-fly list.

    US Citizens can’t be denied entry to the USA. Period.

    They might however be randomly selected for additional screening while clearing customs…. such a pity they contracted an illness demanding immediate quarantine ‘out of an abundance of caution’ and sadly didn’t make it. ‘Mr Pinochet please pick up the White courtesy phone’

      According to a previous story the iranians were calling for the death of Trump, Vance, etc… I’, wondering if these clowns were part of that and any tape exists. If so, there is your unforced error that can lead to prosecution.

        Prosecution? No need for pettifogging formalities to put them into quarantine at the Hotel CA where they would unfortunately not recover.

        No, it cannot lead to prosecution. They have every right to express any opinion they like, including that Trump and Vance ought to be killed. The first amendment protects “mere advocacy” of literally anything whatsoever.

          How are their words on foreign soil not treasonous and therefore subject to prosecution?

          Because words can’t be treasonous, regardless of where they are said. The first amendment protects everything they said.

          There are only two forms of treason:
          1. Making war on the USA.
          2. Adherence to the enemy’s cause, accompanied by an overt act motivated by that adherence, that gives the enemy aid and comfort.

“…..Qatar, and Turkey, is waging a disinformation and demoralization campaign against the American public.”

We all know how Trump seems to love Qatar despite their anti-American activities. He now wants to reward Turkey for theirs by selling the F-35s.

The original plan was to sell Turkey F-35s. In fact Turkey was to build them. Then Turkey went and bought a Russian SX00 AA/AM system. Congress then banned F-35 sales to Turkey. Trump wants to reverse that. Absolutely idiotic. Nothing has changed. It’s also potentially destructive to Israel but hey who cares about that anymore.

People endlessly consume this media from so called “influencers.” In the olden days we would have called them spies, or double agents. Quite simply they are paid actors given power and wealth to recite canned lines, stoke hatred and incite violence. Time to turn off your rectangle of death people and stop letting your brain be infested by these morons.

    Spies are very different from foreign agents. There’s no evidence that they’ve engaged in espionage. And being a foreign agent requires being paid by a foreign government; and that’s not illegal, it just requires registration.

    How else would we find out if not for these publications? Sure not on The Nightly News with David Muir.

??? Are we not currently fighting against the current Iranian government? 18 U.S. Code § 2381 – Treason
.
“Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

    Treason requires adherence to the enemy; these haven’t necessarily done that. To convict them you’d have to prove they were indeed motivated by adherence to the enemy, and not by anything else, such as to gain domestic political advantage. It also requires an overt act that expresses that adherence, and that also gives the enemy material assistance.

American Jew hater Jackson Hinkle leads Iranian regime supporters chanting “Down with USA” in Tehran. How is it that he is not arrested in the US for supporting a US-designated terrorist organization?

Because that isn’t and can’t be a crime. The first amendment protects his right to do exactly that. It’s only a crime to give a foreign terrorist organization material support, and if there were evidence that he’s done so he would indeed be arrested the moment he set foot back in the USA.

      The difference between moral support and material support is hardly splitting hairs. It’s absolutely crucial. It’s the difference between what is constitutionally protected and what is a felony! You might as well call the difference between taking someone’s property without permission and with permission “splitting hairs”. Or between taking someone else’s property and taking your own property.

And will these two treasonous clowns be allowed to waltz back onto U.S. soil after giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of a hot war? One would think not, given our current government rectitude. We’ll see.
