      Looks like they got nothing to go of.

      I’m flabbergasted by the extreme lack of violent footage out of Iran for Western media to play on repeat. I was expecting at least a few videos of protesters or rioters getting mowed down somewhere and then Western media could make up the rest and add a few stories about rape here and there. Multiple people have travelled out of Iran and taken their phones with them too and there’s Starlink.

      But so far, nothing really. Which is strange since even Iran acknowledged casualties.

        Iran jammed Starlink, which was thought to be impossible. Rumors say that it’s Russian technology. This may have cut the chaos monkeys off from their handlers.

          it’s testament to the american propaganda machine that this action is leveraged to bolster consent manufacturing effectively.

          I’m sure they jammed some big cities but I doubt they jammed it nationwide. Jammers are usually area specific and they don’t go extremely far. Unless Iran completely packed with anti-starlink jammers there must be some working starlinks. Iran is yuge.

            Through the magic of talking out my ass, perhaps it really is possible to block virtually all of Iran. By pointing the jammers directly at the satellites as they fly by, flooding them with noise.

      This is the “no effort” fascist government.
      Don’t expect them to do any effort to convince you.
