I Feel the Earth Moving Under Our Feet
Events in Europe, the Middle East, and here are moving so quickly, it seems that decades of deceit, corruption and, just plain stupidity are nearing their end sooner than we could have imagined.

Events in Europe, the Middle East, and here are moving so quickly, it seems that decades of deceit, corruption, and just plain stupidity are nearing their end sooner than we could have imagined. Here’s a sample of the tremors this week which promise to undo the near past.
Iran
Credible reports indicate 23,000 civilians have been murdered by the mullahs’ forces, and videos (again made public due to the extraordinary efforts of Elon Musk’s teams to work around the mullahs' blackouts) reveal incredible brutality. Corpses with catheters and heart monitors still attached support accounts of persons being snatched from hospitals and left to die of untreated bullet wounds. A major bazaar was set on fire, and those who sought escape from the flames were machine-gunned.
Khalid Umar reflects on the protest culture’s silence.
No “Free Iran.”
No marches.
No slogans.
The absence is not accidental. It is revealing.
SELECTIVE MORALITY, PERFECTED
The modern protest industry is not driven by universal ethics. It is driven by alignment. Iran does not fit the approved script of oppression -- because condemning Tehran would mean indicting the very ideological ecosystem that has been protected, rationalised, and indirectly funded for decades.
Iran is not an inconvenience.
Iran is the source.
