Activists outside Iran - is that Mossad, MI6 and CIA? I am sure they provided a lot of "information".

In all fairness, if you read the claim properly, the "outside activists" gathered alleged eyewitness testimony and gave it to AI. I think that's called hearsay on hearsay. Not admissible in court, but the press, and esp. AI, have a different standard: does the claim follow my desired narrative? If yes - PRINT; if no - IGNORE.

The ampersand (&) in the Amnesty text means "and". I read the text to say "eyewitness testimony and information gathered from activists outside Iran...". So 2 sources: (1) eyewitness testimony, and (2) information gathered from activists outside Iran. It truly is incredible to read the text as saying eyewitnesses were outside Iran at the time they witnessed what they testified about.

@ b

As long as I can remember such protests and riots have happened in Iran every other year or so. They usually die down within a week. I am confident that the same will happen this time.

Agree. The USisraeli gang keeps pushing on a hair.

How ungrateful the Khazarians. During the oil embargo (1973 Yom Kippur war) it was Iran that kept the lights on in Tel Aviv. North American synagogues (shules) echoed praises for Iran. Yes, I do recall the president of my synagogue appealing for donations "to pay the great Iran government for the oil." Fast forward; envy took hold.

U .S. Color revolutions and sanctions demanded by Tel Aviv will be extended to the aliens on Mars.

As far as I got the point, the price of fuel has been risen for both the limited cheaper amount (60 liters for private persons) from around 0,07 EUR to 0,11 EUR per liter and twice the price for the fuel not subject to a quota.
Iranian media and people report that something happened, at least one bank was burned. Locals report that everything is calm and normal - yesterday and today. But a lot of people came out and flooded Iran related groups in social media (e.g. on travelling in Iran) without any relation to the topic, putting a lot of shit on Iran. One Iranian put it like this "Thats interesting, people who live in Iran say that everything is normal and people who don't live there say the country is burning!"

And as if in anticipation of BigLie Media's onslaught, we have Zarif going off in a speech given yesterday in Astana, as reported here. Essentially anything uttered by "official" Western sources about Iran is a lie or something quite similar and ought to be ignored. Although she can't be expected to write about all the BigLies being unleashed upon humanity, Calitlin Johnstone at least attempts to debunk several every week. I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering why every human isn't a complete skeptic when it comes to whatever BigLie Media produces given the thousands of lies it tells yearly. And Twitter's now censoring Sharmine Narwani, one of the best Middle East journalists. Surely, the West as a concept must now be deemed to be The Walking Dead populated by its Zombie adherents.

I think it is correct to say the usual suspects are involved. This includes the administration of Rouhani who appears to have intentionally triggered the crisis on behalf of his Zionist backers. Quadrupling the price of fuel in this environment, with similar operations ongoing in Lebanon and Iraq, demonstrates cynicism (not ignorance) of the highest degree and could only have happened if Iranian leadership is in on the plan to remake the middle east.

I read at The Register about the shutting down of the internet in Iran and read the wails and lamenting about freedumb and democracy by the usual suspects there.

I hope at some point the countries that have these riots foisted on them by the agents of empire can and will expose the perps and prosecute them.

Most of us in the West sit in our easy chairs and don't suffer under the sanctions of empire though and I expect it gets a bit tiresome to many under that suppression who can't see the bigger picture and want it to stop.

The move makes economic sense. It had previously been recommended by the IMF.

 

If the IMF recommended it, it means it doesn't make economic sense.

Amnesty International Corporation, or AIC.

Hmm... AIC <--> CIA ?

No, that can't be!

Thanks for posting this brief. Got into a real funk several days ago and the one thing that I suspect triggered it was the "news" about Iranian riots. The thought that another "rebellion" in search of a coup was in the making and to get that most cherished prize that has so far eluded our bloodthirsty exceptionalists. But Bolivia has succeeded (so far) because their military was in the US' pocket. That will probably never again be the case in Iran, not after nearly 40yrs of vilification, threats, sanctions, and sabotage.

It was after the revolution in '79 that Iranian clerics began referring to the US as "the great Satan" and Israel as "the little Satan." This no doubt was the result of the Israeli's role in creating and supporting SAVAK, that object lesson in the benevolence of US-led western prosperity and freedom.

If aliens are on Mars why the hell aren't we on our way there to deport them back to Guatemala? It's ours you know, and the whole damned solar system, hell- the whole galaxy. God Wills It!

- Gasoline prices throughout the Middle East are WAY too low. Gasoline is often sold below the price of production.
- In 2015 Saudi Arabia raised the price of gasoline by a MASSIVE 50% !!!!! Outrageous !!!!! Now the price of gasoline is no longer 14 cents a liter but has risen to the outrageous level of 21 cents !!!

'Amnesty International'...haw fucking haw...

Zero credibility since time immemorial...along with HRW [Soros Front]...plus the collective corporate western media...stink tanks...NGOs like USAID [CIA lite]...NED etc...

I wonder how many billions a year it takes to keep this huge global propaganda and agitation octopus going...?

BTW...I love that 'verified' part...

'Verified' by whom and what...the CIA's magic eight ball...?

Also the 'unlawful' killings by the Iranian security officers...

So the 1,000 civilians killed by cops in the USA EVERY YEAR...is never 'unlawful'...but when rioters and most likely paid agents of a hostile foreign power get shot for setting banks on fire, then it's 'unlawful'...

Talk about Orwellian...but nothing surprises anymore...

The same thing about HK...I happened to pick up an MSM rag lying about in a coffee shop this morning and decided to read the 'report' out of HK...

What a fucking joke...the police are now 'besieging' the campus of those scumbag criminals...the whole narrative is so ridiculously tilted that one has to wonder if these media dirtbags working these foreign bureaus are on some serious psychotropic drugs...

You would have to be in order to invent such a fake reality, when your own eyes are telling you otherwise...

Oh...and the main talking point is how 'the people' of Hong Kong are against the Chinese 'takeover' of the cherished 'independence' of this rotten place...

Thanks to Bernhard for continuing to hammer on this stuff...this is why the comments section here is targeted nonstop by the agit-prop global octopus I mentioned earlier...

Could an "eyewitness outside the country" be viewing in real time from a drone or satellite?

Do you know how satellites actually work...?

They fly AROUND the earth at about 18,000 mph...so how could they possibly hover in one place and take snapshots...?...real life isn't a Tome Cruise movie...

Do you know how air defense works...?

Any hostile flying object [even as small as a pigeon] trying to enter sovereign airspace will be picked up by air defense radar and immediately shot down...

I guess you never heard the news about Iran shooting down that MQ4 Triton UAV...a $200 million dollar UAV that flies at 65,000 ft...

Killed before it could even enter Iranian air space...so how is a drone going to be hovering over Tehran...?

Any other preschool questions...?

OT: A document that could do with more publicity.

A couple of Russians have been to Syria to interview 'volunteers' who joined the White Helmets, along with eyewitnesses. The common thread: the takfiris took control of food supplies so the 'volunteers' were given the choice of fighting against the Syrian government, joining the White Helmets or death. The 'volunteers' were not paid a salary, but they did receive an 'appreciation' of about $150-200 a month. The report includes summaries of interviews with the volunteers along with details of WH members who also fought on the front lines.

Own comment: 

It should surprise nobody that the fake Western propaganda media - including EWTN - have jumped on the protests in Iran like a bitch in heat. 

As MoonOfAlabama points out, virtually every year there are large protests in Iran, and they normally die out within a week. I too expect that will be the case this time, and I too suspect that there is much foreign influence in these protests.
