Currently unclear why self immolation took place.

The theocracy of Iran has been the world’s arch-embassy attacker over the last half-century.So Iran has zero credibility in crying foul over Israel’s April 1 attacks on its “consulate” in Damascus and the killing of Iran’s kingpin terrorists of the Revolutionary Guard Corps there.Remember‚ the world was first introduced to the Iranian ayatollahs by their violent takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1980.Iranian surrogates next bombed the American Embassy in Beirut and the Marine barracks there in 1983.In fact‚ Iran has attacked U.S. and Israeli diplomatic posts off and on for decades‚ most recently in 2023‚ when Iran helped plan an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.For this reason and several others‚ Iran’s justification for sending 170 drones‚ 30 cruise missiles‚ and 120 ballistic missiles into Israel on the grounds that Israel had bombed an Iranian diplomatic post is completely ridiculous.One‚ Iran has never honored diplomatic immunity. Instead‚ it habitually attacks and kills embassy personnel and blows up diplomatic facilities across the world.Two‚ on April 1‚ the Israelis attacked a pseudo-“consulate” in Damascus that was hosting grandees of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as they planned terrorist attacks on Israel.Without Iran‚ the Middle East might have had a chance to use its enormous oil and natural gas wealth to lift its 500 million people out of poverty rather than to be mired in constant tribal and religious anti-Israeli‚ anti-American‚ and anti-Western terrorism.During the Iraq War‚ Iran’s Shiite terrorists and its massive supplies of deadly shaped-charge explosive devices killed hundreds of Americans. Iran routinely hijacks container ships in the Straits of Hormuz and stages near-collisions with American ships and planes.How does Iran get away with nonstop anti-Western terrorism‚ its constant harassment of Persian Gulf maritime traffic‚ its efforts to subvert moderate Sunni Muslim regimes‚ and its serial hostage-taking&;#63;The theocrats operate on three general principles:One‚ Iran is careful never to attack a major power directly.Until this attack‚ it never before had sent missiles and drones into Israel. Iran’s economy is one-dimensionally dependent on oil exports. And its paranoid government distrusts its own people‚ who have no access to free elections.So Iranian strategy over the past few decades has relied on surrogates—especially expendable Arab Shiite terrorists in Iraq‚ Lebanon‚ Syria‚ and Yemen‚ along with the Sunni Arabs of Hamas—to do Iran’s dirty work of killing Israelis and Americans.It loudly egged all of them on and then cowardly denied responsibility once it feared Israeli or American retaliation.Two‚ Iran has fooled Western governments and especially left-wing American presidential administrations by posing as a persecuted victim. Iran claims it is the champion of aggrieved Shiite Arab and Persian minorities‚ unfairly exploited by Israel‚ moderate Arab regimes‚ and rich Sunni Gulf monarchies.Three‚ Iran hopes its pseudo-diplomatic outreach to left-wing Western governments‚ coupled with its lunatic existential threats and terrorist attacks unleashed on its enemies‚ can coax or bully the West into granting it concessions—especially time to acquire a dozen or so nuclear weapons.Yet for all its loud‚ creepy threats‚ Iran is incredibly weak and vulnerable.Israel and its allies shot down almost all Iran’s recent nocturnal missile and drone barrages. Lots of other missiles reportedly blew up on liftoff in Iran or crashed in transit.Before President Joe Biden’s appeasement of Iran‚ the Trump administration had isolated and nearly bankrupted Tehran and its proxies. Its Revolutionary Guard terrorist planners proved to be easy targets once they operated outside Iran.Iran’s only hope is to get a bomb and‚ with it‚ nuclear deterrence to prevent retaliation when it increases its terrorist surrogate attacks on Israel‚ the West‚ and international commerce.Yet now Iran may have jumped the shark by attacking the Israeli homeland for the first time. It is learning that it has almost no sympathetic allies.Does even the Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon really want to take revenge against Israel on behalf of Persian Iran‚ only to see its Shiite neighborhoods in Lebanon reduced to rubble&;#63;Do all the pro-Hamas protesters on American campuses and in the streets really want to show Americans that they celebrate Iranian attacks and a potential Iranian war against the United States&;#63;Does Iran really believe 99% of any future Israel barrage against Iranian targets would fail to hit targets in the fashion that its own recent launches failed&;#63;Does Iran really believe that its sheer incompetence in attacking Israel warrants them a pardon—as if they should be excused for trying‚ but not succeeding‚ to kill thousands of Jews&;#63;In sum‚ by unleashing a terrorist war in the Middle East and targeting the Israeli homeland‚ Iran may wake up soon and learn that Israel‚ or America‚ or both‚ might retaliate for a half-century of its terrorist aggression—and mostly to the indifference or even the delight of most of the world.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Some members of the British Parliament want an independent review to be done concerning the Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU)‚ following an investigation into its activities by privacy and civil liberties campaigner Big Brother Watch. CDU is identified by the group as‚ in addition only to security/intelligence services‚ operating in “one of the most opaque ways in government.” Big Brother Watch Director Silkie Carlo welcomed the committee’s initiative‚ but added that “the unit should be immediately suspended and subjected to a full investigation.” In the recommendations to the government issued by the House of Commons Culture‚ Media and Sport Committee (DCMS)‚ CDU is additionally suspected of being insufficiently transparent and accountable‚ with “the appropriateness of its reach” also questioned. CDU was originally established in 2019 as part of DCMS to this past February get “transferred” to the newly formed Department for Science‚ Innovation and Technology. The controversy around CDU has to do with the unit “working” with social media during the pandemic in a bid to censor opponents of Covid restrictions and vaccine mandates expressed by UK citizens. Among those citizens were ex-ministers and elected officials‚ such as Conservative PM David Davis who was skeptical of what’s known as “modeling” concerning Covid – supposed to describe an epidemic using population movement data. The way CDU and social platforms‚ the biggest ones like Google and Meta among them‚ are accused of collaborating on censorship included deletion of posts and hiding of accounts. The Committee’s report‚ urging an independent review of CDU’s activities and strategy wants the government to present the results to the parliament within 12 months. Previously‚ some other Conservative MPs‚ like Paul Scully‚ defended CDU‚ claiming that instead of targeting individuals it was monitoring “narratives and trends” around what it chose to consider misinformation and manipulation of online “information environment.” It’s not clear how such incidents might happen if CDU’s activities are structured as Scully presented them – but he did add that “the content reviewed may incidentally include personal data.” Still‚ this MP and former junior minister assured the public CDU is not “some big‚ shady intelligence unit.” Perhaps it’s just small and shady‚ cynics might wonder. Others who have spoken about what CDU does‚ like Sarah Connolly who actually headed the unit during the pandemic‚ earlier described “passing information over” to platforms with the hope of “the swift takedown” of content as its key purpose.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. For a moment‚ it wasn’t entirely clear why the US Congress (specifically the House Judiciary Committee) decided to step into the feud created by Brazil’s authorities and X owner Elon Musk. Was it because X was breaking Brazilian law – as alleged by those authorities – or because Brazil was using X‚ a US company‚ to enforce censorship&;#63; Now we have some answers. The short version is – House Republicans believe Brazil is abusing “misinformation” claims to clamp down on critics expressing their opinion on X. The Committee has come out with an “interim staff report‚” and the title really says it all‚ at least as far as this US legislative arm’s stance on the issue: “The Attack on Free Speech Abroad and the Biden Administration’s Silence: The Case of Brazil.” We obtained a copy of the report for you here. Ouch. The Committee’s report goes into the details of the ongoing public clash‚ where Musk first accused Brazil’s government of demanding censorship of prominent political and media figures without any explanation‚ in addition to gag orders imposed on X. Looming large in the background of all this is Alexandre de Moraes‚ president of Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court and Supreme Federal Court justice. More pertinently‚ a noted political rival of former President Jair Bolsonaro‚ who last year lost an election and contested it on the grounds of irregularities and unfairness. And then‚ the new authorities in Brazil set out to (continue) doing their damnedest to make sure Bolsonaro and his supporters are silenced and discredited on social platforms. (Any similarity to election controversy in another country may or may not be coincidental). The US House Committee’s report provides some facts – it had access to 28 orders in Portuguese (originals) and English‚ and 23 more only in English‚ all issued by Moraes to X; plus‚ 37 orders from the Superior Electoral Court of Brazil. The Committee’s report spelled the essence out like this: “The Brazilian government is currently trying to force X and other social media companies to censor over 300 accounts.” And those include former President Bolsonaro’s‚ that belongs to Federal Senate member Marcos do Val‚ and journalist Paulo Figueiredo Filho. There are others‚ including more journalists‚ radio stations‚ and legal experts and former judges. As the report noted – “Government-directed censorship is not a problem isolated only to authoritarian governments in faraway lands; it is happening here in the United States.” And then‚ in case anyone missed the point being made here: “The Committee’s and Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government’s findings of the Biden Administration’s attacks on free speech reveal how the Biden Administration‚ like Brazil‚ has sought to silence their critics.” The post US House Republicans Challenge Brazil’s Claims on X “Misinformation” Censorship appeared first on Reclaim The Net.
