Utopia Talk / Politics / Iran completely blacked out

Anyone notices this? That you can no longer get any verifiable news from Iran from any main stream media? This to such an extent that the situation in Iran is slowly falling off the news because it is almost impossible to get anything out. We haven't been able to call to Iran for 5 days now. Anything that comes out now is through the Internet and it is hard to verify any of it. At this moment Iran is only second to NK in isolation.

Not only that but Iran security forces have gotten on the bandwagon of Twitter and Facebook, and are attempting to disseminate bad intel.

FOX had a couple of interviews from inside in the last couple of days. Not sure how they managed it unless they have some kind of special military phone.

satphones are common technology now. Every other airliner, ship, and mountain expedition has at least one.

Like if you were ever able to get any objective news about Iran from American mainstream media. :o)

It's actually for this very reason the western news were kicked out, if you don't get it :)

so what is the soviet media saying about Iran then?

Hot Rod

Of course.

So we can get the truth from The Iran Information Agency.

Iran will never be what it was 3 weeks ago. It will now be a completely totalitarian state or it will become a true democracy. There will no longer be the hidden theocracy it was for the past 30 years.

So you are trying to say that it will either bow to American hegemony or be a subject of a propaganda campaign and be blackened in the western media as a "totalitarian state", correct?

mexicantornado
Member Tue Jun 23 21:22:16
No, I am saying that they will not hold elections any longer and instead establish something people like you, Russian commies, are very familiar with. Or they will be destroyed by the millions of people who do want American style democracy.

So they will either kick your butt of be a victim of American imperialism?

They will either become independent or get all their blood and oil sucked out of them by American corporations? Easier to understand now?

Well, almost. There is a third way. If Khameni and Achmadinejad are toppled by the Regime itself and replaced by slightly more pragmatic people, the Islamic Republic would survive and relations with the West would improve a bit.

However I fail to see how you can think that the Iranian Regime doesn't deserve being denounced as a totalitarian state, other than them being enemies of the west.
