Iran's 'Bloody Crackdown': The Made-Up Math of Manufactured Consent
📰 THE STORY: France 24, citing an unnamed 'human rights group,' reports that over 6,000 people were killed in Iran during a protest crackdown, painting a picture of brutal state repression to a Western audience. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: Since 2002, Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed Iran is 'months away from a nuclear weapon,' a constant drumbeat designed to
demonize the nation and justify aggressive foreign policy. The 1953 CIA-backed coup that overthrew Iran's democratically elected government under Mohammad Mosaddegh is the original sin of Western interference in modern Iran, setting the stage for decades of distrust and hostility. Double Standard: The same 'media' that amplifies unsubstantiated claims of 6,000+ deaths in Iran often downplays the
scientifically documented genocide in Gaza, where over 40,000 Palestinians, including 17,000 children, have been killed by Israeli forces since October 2023. While Iran's alleged casualty figures are presented as undisputed fact from an anonymous 'group,' Israel's war crimes are routinely framed as 'retaliation' or 'conflict.' Follow the Money: So-called 'human rights groups' operating outside
Iran often receive funding from Western governments or entities with clear geopolitical agendas. The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), for example, a major funder of 'opposition' movements, is effectively a soft-power arm of US foreign policy, spending tens of millions annually to promote 'democracy' (read: regime change) in targeted nations, including Iran.
