Comments: Here Zinsky I give it a try. I confess I cheated, had to ask AI :) "This is just the latest in a long history of Islamic Republic global lethal targeting of diplomats, journalists, dissidents, and anyone who disagrees with them, something that should deeply worry every country where there is an IRGC presence," the official reportedly added. ... Hint: Which country has killed/assassinated more journalists /dissidents/leaders of other countries in the past 20-30 years? Islamic Republic of Iran ... Here is one for you, which country killed more Iranian citizens than any other country?
Comments: عظمت تاریخی یعنی همین دقیقا... یعنی کسانی هم که همیشه تاریخ باستان رو خوار شمردند و نادیده گرفتند، آخر مجبورند شخصیتی متعلق به همون تاریخ (شاهپور ساسانی) رو با کمال احترام ــ در این فقره دقیقاً «با سلام و صلوات» ــ بگذارند وسط میدون اصلی پایتخت و بابت رونمایی از این قهرمان جشن بگیرند. تاریخ ایران اینجوری هر جریانی رو تسلیم خودش میکنه. ![[9efc2760bcacfcc6b9cb3477eba8ee5e78831e84]](https://s.france24.com/media/display/4f1986f0-bc17-11f0-9def-005056a97e36/w:1280/p:3x4/9efc2760bcacfcc6b9cb3477eba8ee5e78831e84.jpg)
Comments: According to Tehran’s regional water authorities, Mamlou Dam holds just 18 million cubic meters—about 7% full, down from 13% at the same point last year; Latian is in even worse shape; Lar has 14 million cubic meters; and Amirkabir (Karaj) has plunged. On November 2, Behzad Parsa, head of the Tehran Regional Water Company, said only 14 million cubic meters remained behind Karaj—roughly two weeks of drinking water for the capital. The supply shock is compounded by a historic dry spell. Mohsen Ardakani, managing director of Tehran’s Water and Wastewater Company, said on November 7 that no rainfall has been recorded in Tehran so far this water year—the sixth consecutive drought—and that last year was the driest in a century. National data between late September and October 25 show an average of 2.3 millimeters of precipitation, with 21 of 31 provinces recording no rain during that 33-day span. The severity is visible: a video posted November 4 shows an Iranian swimmer walking on the exposed bed of the Karaj reservoir. Research officials reach the same conclusion. On November 7, Mohammadreza Kavianpour, head of the Water Research Institute, said there had been no autumn rain in Tehran and forecasts suggest dryness through the end of the season. He urged authorities not to “gamble” on the weather, noting last year’s 152 millimeters of rainfall—about 40% below the 57-year average—and estimating a ~42% year-over-year fall in river inflows. If rains fail in December, formal rationing appears likely; if dryness persists, buffers will thin dangerously. Hospitals, clinics, and industry would face operational strain; households already rationing at night would confront longer and more unpredictable outages; and the economic spillovers—from equipment damage to higher operating costs—could add friction to an already fragile environment. In this climate, communications discipline becomes policy: warn, but not too much; deny, but ration at night; and above all, keep a lid on public anger. Decades of corruption, neglect, and politicized mismanagement have made this outcome predictable. With no transparent plan beyond asking households to shave off another slice of demand, the government is signaling it will manage scarcity—not fix it—because it fears the reaction that prolonged outages could unleash. The subtext is survival: a ruling system that long prioritized patronage projects and short-term optics over maintenance and planning now worries that water, of all things, could become the spark.

Comments: Americans are changing a little when it comes to Israel. One of the largest Jewish cities in US just voted a Muslim to run it. MAGA is getting tired of US helping Israel no questions asked! The unconditional support for Israel is slowly but surely going away. Politicians will notice this sooner or later. The support will not go away completely but this full support needs to be questioned and it is happening. APAC will need a new approach.
Comments: He is not alone MintPress contributor Robert Inlakesh says Google services — Gmail and YouTube — just deleted his reporting documenting Israeli soldiers shooting unarmed Palestinian civilians, including children, and then banned him entirely. He wrote on X: “All my coverage of Israeli soldiers shooting civilians, including children targeted on a live stream, along with my entire account were deleted and then I was banned completely.” This comes as YouTube has reportedly removed around 700 videos documenting Israeli war crimes. This isn’t happening in a vacuum. YouTube has formal content-policy partnerships with the ADL — one of the most powerful pro-Israel advocacy organizations — and Google works directly with Israeli government ministries on “extremism” blacklists and content moderation pipelines. This is not just content moderation. This is a censorship infrastructure — where Silicon Valley and the Israeli state shape what the world is allowed to see about Gaza. Silencing journalists is how you hide a genocide. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQusaxFCNsf/

Comments: Iran’s campaign against the Kurds can be understood as a form of cultural genocide and the Kurdish Struggle. The Kurds, along with other ethnic minorities in Iran, have been suffering from systemic attempts by the state to limit their autonomy and forcefully assimilate them into the dominant Iranian culture. Any attempts by the Kurdish civil society to express their grievances and participate in peaceful movements have been met with violent crackdowns. Politically, the state has outlawed Kurdish political groups and actively punishes civilians for their lawful civil and political dissent. In recent years, Tehran has used domestic and international events as an excuse to further oppress the Kurds. By arresting civilians and community leaders, it aims to strip civil society of its tools to exercise its will. Socially, it has enforced its political, religious, and cultural vision on ethnic minorities, disregarding their right to cultural expression. Culturally, it criminalized the use of the Kurdish language, banned Kurdish symbols from the public sphere, and actively denied the contributions made by Kurds to the history and culture of the region. Economically, it has intentionally underdeveloped the provinces inhabited by Kurds, exploited the region’s natural resources, and put up bureaucratic hurdles, forcing the locals to work in perilous environments to survive. Physically, it engages in arbitrary arrests, torture, surveillance, and hands out death penalties on an unimaginable scale. When all of Iran’s actions are taken into account, it is clear that its objective is to “menace the existence of the social group which exists by virtue of its common culture” to create a favorable status quo for the dominant group. In this light, Iran’s campaign against the Kurds can be understood as a form of cultural genocide, a sustained effort to erase a people by extinguishing the social, political, and cultural foundations that sustain them.

Comments: I’ve been reading lots of philosophy books recently. I have plenty of time! It’s very interesting how the concept becomes very close to religion, all of them. Blind fate! Not ”God” per say but universe or some other form of higher beings. I have always had an issue with full and complete faith in anything. “There is a plan for you” doesn’t work well for me. I’ve seen few people who stopped believing in religion and started believing in Universe as they describe it. They became fanatic, worse than before. One cannot question anything. One has to fully surrender. Maybe it is my logical brain but nothing is perfect all the time. Just it is!
