Sorry folks, the scheduler hiccuped…
Iran is now 13 days into ‘protests’ that started over the devaluation of the currency and a water crisis in Tehran among other places. The original protest was NOT students, but shopkeepers…
Now, almost two weeks later, it is sweeping the entire country! And more and more civilians/women/students are involved…
The Iranian regime triggered an internet “kill switch” in an apparent effort to hide alleged abuses by security forces and as protests against it surged nationwide, a cybersecurity expert has claimed.
The blackout slashed internet access to a fraction of normal levels on the 13th day of the protests as rights groups, including Amensty International, accused the regime of using lethal force against protesters.
“This is Iran’s war against its own population using digital means,” NetBlocks CEO Alp Toker told Fox News Digital.
“This was a piecemeal measure that eventually encompassed the entire country, with the government willing to use this kind of measure for an extended period of time,” he said.
“There would be an attempt by the regime to cover up crimes that it may have committed, so this blackout could potentially last for days or weeks,” Toker added.

Apparently the ‘official’ death toll is sixty some odd in 13 days, but according to sources inside Iran, the hospitals are or were reporting over 200 dead.
One of the many pictures that has come out in addition to the fires in cities are the pictures of women/girls lighting cigarettes off pictures of Khomeini, which is a death sentence in Iran.
I was there 50 years ago, when the Shah was still in power. The women were elegant, beautiful, and smart! Well educated, and heavily involved the the Iranian way of life at all levels. Now, not so much…
This particular one has caught the Intarwebz by storm, needless to say…
And this commentary from an Iranian woman makes sense, especially if you ever visited back in the day…
WHY THE SILENCE IS SO LOUD An Iranian woman just said what many are not understanding— and it explains a glaring contradiction.
She argues that much of the loudest “free Palestine” activism isn’t actually about universal human rights at all.
Iranian woman: “Let me tell you why all these pro-Palestine, all these pro-human rights people are silent right now. Because 90% of the people supporting Palestine are Muslims and they’re only supporting them because Palestinians are Muslim. So the one reason why they’re not supporting my people is because the country is being controlled by Islamic Republic. So the leaders are Muslim. So for them to support the Iranians would have to go against the Islamic Republic, which means they would have to go against their religion. So they’re silent. So it’s not about human rights anymore. This is about religion. Because us Iranians, we were never Muslims to begin with. Islam was forced on us. Because when the Arabs invaded our country, stole everything, assaulted our women – I don’t want to say the word but you know what they did, it was more than an assault – they forced Islam onto us. We were never Muslims to begin with. We are the descendants of Cyrus…”
In other words, they are Persian. And if you aren’t familiar with Cyrus, HERE is the Wiki.
Is this going to be regime change? I don’t know… But the mullahs do NOT want to give up control, and are apparently importing ‘muscle’ to back themselves up…
And that young lady in the picture? I hope she has an exit plan or is already gone, because if they catch her, she is dead.
Why is this not being covered? My guess is too many don’t want to ‘upset’ the Muslims in the US… So much for honest journalism. But we knew that already…
