UNDER THE RADAR – Flash point Iran: The obscenity of a Medieval Theocracy vs Israeli nuclear threats
We here at TDB like to be first at pointing shit out, but in this never ending 24-7 news clusterfuck of a media environment we all live in, even we can slip up and miss something that should get more focus, so from time to time we’ll run Under the Radar News, things of note that escaped attention.
This week, Flash point Iran: The obscenity of a Medieval Theocracy vs Israeli nuclear threats.
Flash point Iran: The obscenity of a Medieval Theocracy vs Israeli nuclear threats.
‘Something big is happening’: the Iranians risking everything to protest
The internet has been shut off in parts of Iran and access to platforms such as WhatsApp and Instagram blocked after seven days of protest in cities across Iran.
The uprisings were sparked on 16 September by the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, who had been detained by the morality police for wearing her hijab in an “improper” way. Iranian state television has said 17 people have died, though the number could be higher.
The brutality of the latest appalling human rights abuse perpetrated by the medieval Theocracy of Iran is the beating to death of a women by the morality police for not wearing a bloody head scarf ‘correctly’ FFS!
Let’s remind ourselves as we are all hoping onto our high horses that America kills people during arrest all the time and that there wouldn’t be a medieval Theocracy operating in Iran in the first place if the West hadn’t committed a coup to steal oil and set in motion a revolution against the Dictator we installed.
The unprecedented protest and the predictable looming brutal crackdown will all swirl for the next week our show but the bigger issue I fear in Iran now is how desperate the West has pushed Iran into a nuclear programme.
Trump’s insane decision to shit all over Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran has forced Iran into nuclear production that could lead to a nuclear weapon. Iranian leaders could believe the only way out of the economic sanction death grip America has placed them under is to gain a nuclear weapon.
The Israeli’s see that as an existential threat and are training to hit Iran if they suspect the Iranians cross the technical threshold for this…
Israeli military exercise to simulate attack on Iranian nuclear targets
TEL AVIV: As Israeli leaders sound the alarm about what they say is an acute, active threat from Iran’s nuclear program, Israel plans to conduct a major military exercise, with some US participation, part of which will simulate attacks on Iranian nuclear targets, according to Israeli officials.
…if the Russians wished to cause real damage to America, it would provide the final technical specs the Iranians need and trigger an Israeli attack to cause wide spread damage to American interests throughout the Middle East.
The beating to death of an innocent woman for something as inane as a head scarf could be the least of our worries with Iran.

Whatever one thinks about the hijab, it’s trivial to find the video that shows this woman was not beaten and simply collapsed as an unfortunate result of long-term health conditions she has had since birth.
Meanwhile, in neighboring Iraq, the Americans shot a 15-year old girl dead as part of a military exercise. Odd how that isn’t being covered in Western regime media.

The riots are not very broad in scope and the Iranian government is using a very light hand in dealing with them at this point- unfortunately, as terrorists have murdered a number of police. There have been arrests of members of a number of terrorist groups which the US pays to incite violence through their ‘National Endowment for Democracy’, a CIA spinoff, from ISIS to the MEK (a terrorist sex cult that fought on Saddam’s side when he was bombing Iranian civilians with poison gas).
I don’t believe, unfortunately, that Iran is likely to develop a nuclear weapon. This is a pity as they are entirely capable, and the human world needs some self-defence against the tens if not hundreds of illegal nuclear weapons that the zionist entity developed in concert with its close allies in apartheid South Africa and threaten to use against the entire world (including Europe and the US- see ‘Operation Samson’).
However, the simple fact is that Ayatollah Khomeini had a very principled if rather impractical moral stance against the use of weapons of mass destruction. During the Iran-Iraq War, even as western powers helped Saddam strike Iranian civilian cities with chemical weapons, killing tens of thousands of civilians and leaving hundreds of thousands with permanent illnesses, Khomeini refused to permit the development of chemical or biological weapons, even for retaliatory strikes against military forces. When the IRGC ran a program in secret hoping to present him with a fait accompi, he ordered it destroyed when he found out. Khamenei has followed the same policy and it would be very difficult to break from it. The same considerations would apply for a nuclear strike against the zionist entity. Of course, all of the home invaders would deserve what they got, but how many innocent Palestinians would die? Clearly, this would not be permissible, no matter how many problems it would solve.
The zionists know this as well as I do, but they simply look for any excuse they can find to murder the innocent, whether those innocents are Palestinian, Lebanese, Syrian, or Iranian.
apologist.
Hmm, I wonder if New Zealand’s regime media will be reporting that more than a million people marched in support of the democratically elected government of Iran, against the rioters, just in Tehran alone yesterday. I suspect it will be considered inconvenient.
we don’t have a regime here. We have an elective democracy.
No homosexuals or rebellious women get executed here.
