OK, all we can know from these reactions is that there are a large number of Iranians who hate the guts of the Mullah and his military commander, Suleimani.

But how large? Is it the MAJORITY of Iranians or a huge minority?

We don’t really know.

It’s like what is happening in Iraq. We know that the Shiites in their parliament hate our guts and just voted to expel us. But this was done WITHOUT the cooperation of the Sunnis and the Kurds.

Are we loved or hated in Iraq or Iran?

Hard to tell. Not even with these tweets.

Majority. Huge, not seen since 1979.

”With Brutal Crackdown, Iran Convulsed by Worst Unrest in 40 Years

Now look at your first question again “But how large?” and ask yourself why you don’t know the answer to this question. Could it be the fake news doesn’t want you to know?

I saw today a Democrat interviewed on a news stream where he was bellowing that all this violence was Trump’s fault because Trump scrapped the Iran Deal. He was very aggressive. I translated what he was saying as:

“You Trump supporters, you are going to be hurt, attacked, tortured unless you get behind the Iran deal. If you want peace, you throw Trump out!”

I saw him as threatening us. Knowing what I know, that the Iran Deal was a larger Ukraine type of kickback scheme allowing Iran to go nuclear, I see we have a regime here in America and in Western nations that are ruthless for power and wealth.

The reason this is relevant is because these democrats are counting on people not knowing what’s going on. As Biden remarked “If it’s not in the news, it didn’t happen.”

That’s how they think. If it’s not in their fake news, it doesn’t exist.

So why don’t more of us know about what’s happening on the ground in Iran? Because most of us don’t have the time to dig for the knowledge, we settle for receiving information from news outlets that are all programmed to say the same thing, the fake news media.

Correct. And it’s difficult to know in a country where people are intimidated, threatened, afraid to say that they hate the regime. But the fact that 10’s or 100’s of thousands are brave enough to do so, is a positive indication.
