Why is this being ignored???

Posted on by January 11, 2026

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.

Full article, HERE from Fox News.

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…

  1. Hmmm, we seem to have crossed paths again… first VP Alley in the PI, now I’m guessing you’re also an alumni of Tehran American School. I was a student there in ‘69 and ‘70. My Dad was with ARMISH/MAG.

    I’ve been following the goings on in Iran with interest.

    • Neat! I made it back to the area a couple times. The Midway’s IO cruise in ‘76 included an exercise with Iran, but the only port call was Karachi, then in 2010 in the Guard we supported an OP right on the border (like 600 yards.) My Lt decided to stand on top of the helicopter to look around clueless to all the hostile looks from across the border until we mentioned he was in rifle range.

      I’ve often wondered how many of the friends I made over there made it through the revolution. I suspect most of the girls didn’t since educated women were not held in high regard, and most of the guys probably got sent to the Iraq war.

      I’d like to see the Pahlavi family back in charge as I don’t think western democracy is viable in the Middle East. I also hope if they do pull off a change that we provide humanitarian support but avoid nation building for a change.

  4. Not is she lighting her smoke from a pic of Khomeini, she’s not wearing the mandated head and face covering. What a harlot (in their eyes).
    I’m seeing that death toll is now close to 500 though I don’t necessarily trust the sources. Paliwood comes to mind.
    Also, I’m confused – several blogs say that Iran/Persia is not majority Muslim though CIA World Facts and other sites show 98% Muslim. Is it because of Shia/Suni or something else? Which is it?

  5. WN- I’m seeing the same ‘updated’ death totals. CIA factbook is based on the ‘current’ regime, Khomeini et al are Shia. Persians are Zoroaster.

  6. A bit off topic, tho maybe a little cross-compatability…

    I just found this at Bayou Renaissance Man nd thought it also kinda fits with Persia.:

  7. I don’t know how that is going to play out. Yes, the Persians and Kurds are Zoroastrians. There are 10 million Kurds in Iran. The landscape is challenging there in Iran. Tehran is suffering from a lack of potable water, and the Israelis took out their natural gas (heating in winter) infrastructure. So there is a lot of general discontent. I was in Erbil for work last year and plan to return next month. Much of my itinerary pivots on current events.

  8. Lets see protesters in Saudi Arabia and what would happen.
    Iran is much more egalitarian than S.A. and there are some unsavory types involved in the protests in Iran. I hope that whatever is achieved in Iran the end result is not like in Nicaragua where the Communists were a minority but organized and we know how that ended.
