VIOLENT "PROTESTS" IN IRAN: Western media provide pure lies, invert the reality
by Luís Garcia

This phenomenon is not unprecedented. The United States and Israel have repeatedly utilized a terrorist recipe involving the killing of civilians and police forces on opposing sides of a real or fake (i.e., US-made) internal conflict. This terrorist recipe has been employed in various instances, including the failed 2002 coup against Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and the successful 2014 Euromaidan coup that brought illegal Nazi forces into power in Ukraine.
In the case of Iran, the US and Israel have tried this tactic countless times. One could argue that there is nothing more to say about it. But yes, there is something. Unlike in Venezuela in 2002 and in other cases, social media and smartphones are now used by billions of people. Therefore, it is very easy to disprove the same old tired lies spread by all Western mainstream media as if they had never spread such lies and as if there were no limitless access to real evidence that easily proves these lies to be what they are: lies.

Yet, the shameless Western MSM continues as if we were still in the first or second round of a modern US-created regime change operation in the '90s.
Despite criminals like Trump and Netanyahu openly claiming that they are behind the long-promised and highly anticipated latest regime change operation in Iran and despite the former CIA leader Mike Pompeo and the current Mossad leadership publicly bragging that the "protests" in Iran are fully penetrated by Mossad agents, the Western MSM continues as if it were day one of this type of terror.
- Refusing to acknowledge that criminals (locals or foreigners) are committing crimes such as killing police officers, armed forces, and civilians; destroying public property; and spreading chaos.
- Refusing to acknowledge that millions of peaceful protesters are in the streets supporting the government.
- Hiding the fact that the number of anti-government protesters is very small and that they are violent criminals, not protesters.
- Refusing to inform the audience that most of the deaths are of Iranian police officers, armed forces, and pro-government civilians.
- Telling the world that all of the deaths are victims of the "murderous regime" (just like they did with Venezuela during the last several years).
- Telling the world that footage showing millions of people supporting the government is either fake or old. Even worse, using the footage as false evidence of millions of people protesting against the government.
- Therefore, they are agents that legitimize the acts of US and Israeli state-sponsored terrorism against the people and state institutions of a sovereign nation.
To get an idea of how all this is done, read the articles I wrote about this same criminal scheme being used against Venezuela:
- VENEZUELA: Westerners have lost the ability to reason! - Oppression/Repression
- VENEZUELA: Westerners have lost the ability to reason! - Protests
Even worse are the lame yet expected reactions of Western governments and institutions, which dare to pretend that all of this is real. They criticize Iran again for the crimes committed by the West against Iran, and impose sanctions on Iran because of that! To prove that there is no limit to Western viciousness, European leaders—who never imposed sanctions on the U.S. for its crimes resulting in the deaths of millions worldwide or on Israel for its ongoing genocide of Palestinians—are already preparing sanctions against Iran for the ongoing "reppression and assassination of protesters" (i.e, for being victims of U.S. and Israeli terrorism).
EUROPEAN UNION watched Israel slaughter 20,000 Palestinian children in Gaza in silence; no sanctions, no outrage.

A few Mossad-backed rioters got k*lled in Iran and suddenly sanctions appear.
Hypocrisy, cowardice, and moral bankruptcy. pic.twitter.com/1GP9rP6NZu
Meanwhile, for many years, we have witnessed the increasingly violent behavior of European police forces against peaceful protesters. Those who cry about violence against women in Iran are the same ones who commit it daily, notably the German regime, as well as other vicious regimes, such as the French and British.
One last point. Besides Western governments and Western Mass Media, there are also Western bilionaires like supremacist Elon Musk that dares to commit crimes against the state of Iran. How? By providing free StarLink internet connections for the foreign and local gangsters hired to set Iran on fire. This is a crime everywhere in the world:
🚨Remember when Israel cut the internet in Gaza Elon Musk refused to send star link in spite of public pressure on X remember?

There isn't much else to say because the facts are easily accessible. The best way to debunk the pro-terror propaganda of Western mainstream media is to watch the evidence proving their shameless lies!
