Iranian "Protests"

Now that the US has attacked Iran there are two propaganda points I see people using. One is that Iran oppresses women, and the other one is that Iran killed 30,000 protesters in January. I try to point out that it is really difficult to kill 30,000 people, especially in only 2 days, but they have their talking points and they stick to them.

So I went back and looked at my Facebook feed for January, because I had posted a note from my friend in Iran after the internet was turned back on. They were already telling the lies back then, but I didn't realize they would be embedded so deeply, so I didn't save it.

FYI......

"Hello everyone, and thanks to all those who messaged me to ask about my wellbeing. I am writing this to tell you EVERYTHING YOU HEAR AND SEE ON YOUR MEDIA IS A LIE! I will tell you in nutshell what happened here from Tuesday to Friday.

Tuesday started with peaceful demonstrations for the unstable market. Wednesday, the marchers lines were infiltrated by violent groups, however, the security forces had strict order to not shoot, and in so many places they were sent UNARMED (remember Syria?)

Everything went spiral down fast and stormy on Thursday night, after the call of Resa P💩hlavi and his followers "take the streets, burn them down, kill, and have no mercy on their women and children".

Within hours streets were locked, unarmed security forces run down, dismembered, eyes gouched out, sodomised by foreign objects, BURNT ALIVE. Systematically huundreds of banks burned down, 4 hospitals burned, over 250 libraries burned, 186 ambulances burned and paramedics burned and mamed, fire trucks burned to ashes while trying to rescue residential buildings on fire, gas stations burned, schools, mosques, food stores, pharmacies, historic sites .... and then random fire opened up in the crowded areas on passer byes.

They took human shields of innocent people so security police couldn't stop them. They shot and killed women, children, nurses, street cleaners, defaced passer byes with sword, and bricks, beheaded ... horrors of Aleppi, Hamma, Mousul ... everything that they couldn't do in 12 days bombing.

Finally Friday all communications were cut off and announced anyone how stirs terror or attacks anything will be sh0t on the spot as enemy combatant. Saturday morning peace and order was restored but the country left in the blood of the innocent with monitory damage of billions of dollars. We watched all that LIVE on TV while you are hearing and seeing manipulated lies.

The official number of killed is 3110 I believe of whom about 2400 some are security forces and innocent people.''
