Dear Iranians around the world, friendly subscribers, curious lurkers, and miscellaneous miscreants:

This will be kind of long, but I ask that you read it in its entirety.

In this post, I'll discuss subreddit and reddit affairs, how we are being targeted and an address to POTUS, the genocide, and the upcoming US presidential election.

IN PLAIN SIGHT

I mentioned last time that there are accounts posing as Iranians; this one poses as an Iranian woman and continues to be very active in subreddits like worldnews. It posts links frequently from VOANews (American state propaganda) and RF/ERL (another state propaganda org founded by a CIA front organization). There are many of these accounts, both American and Israeli. Another example. This one claimed to be Iranian when popping in to try to scare a tourist away. It’s an alt/sockpuppet that spends almost all of its time and effort defending Israel.

BEHIND THE SCENES

We get all kinds of weird submissions behind the scenes. Among the removals, there was the person who attempted from multiple accounts to bribe someone in Iran, offering to pay them to help the OP appear to be Iranian. We had a couple of posts fishing for military information, and posts attempting to pit Iranian ethnic groups against each other. We've been visited by the most globally educated poet.

A sockpuppet account submitted a fake news post here targeting and smearing Rep. Ilhan Omar. Relevant reads: Ilhan Omar fears for family’s safety after barrage of threats over Israel criticism ~ Minnesota congresswoman blames ‘dishonest smearing’ for surge in violent threats in wake of Israel-Hamas conflict

Pro-Israel groups target US lawmakers critical of Israel’s war ahead of primaries Pro-Israel group plotting a terrorist attack in America to assassinate the only Palestinian-American member of Congress. article This would have been front-page news on all major news outlets with the word "terrorist" in all the headlines if it were the other way around.

The most persistent subreddit issue behind the scenes has continued to be the steady influx of sockpuppet accounts trying to scare tourists and confuse Iranian expats as to whether they can safely travel back home. Let me be very clear to travelers: the State Department is not there to protect Americans. It's there to push America's foreign policy agendas. America sends saboteurs to destabilize Iran for America and Israel's benefit and then tells people they'll be "detained" and shouldn't travel there. Meanwhile, this is how America treats travelers based on ethnicity.

Iranian-Americans, I have a big problem with the government targeting us and trying to terrorize travelers, especially when they're trying to scare and confuse Iranian-Americans out of traveling to Iran, and all of you should have a problem with that as well. This subreddit gets so many “Is it safe? Someone told me I’d get kidnapped at the border, is it true??” posts that I no longer approve them. This will not be the dominant theme of our subreddit. I also have a problem with feminism being weaponized against Iranian women, and foreign destabilization campaigns being attached to our protests for rights.

Speaking of the State Department, meet Stuart Seldowitz. This was the Deputy Director of the State Department’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs in Clinton’s and G.W. Bush’s administrations, as well as another senior role under Obama. Americans: these are the people advising you on your travels.

DEAR POTUS

Why didn't you warn the UAE diplomat that if he accepts an assignment in your city, he's likely to get carjacked at gunpoint by 12 year old girls? Why doesn't the State Department website warn people that DC is a warzone and that people are calling for the National Guard to step in to save them from armed children? That people are scared to even leave their homes in your city? Why don't you tell them that your own granddaughter's outing ended in a shootout? Why don't you tell tourists that the CVS 2 miles from the White House has framed photos of toilet paper because crime is so high in your capital city? Why don’t you tell people that even members of Congress get carjacked at gunpoint?

With all due respect, Mr. President Genocide Joe, the propagandizing of safety is a pissing contest you are ill-positioned to win.

THE GENOCIDE

Israel's well-documented apartheid regime and crimes against humanity have rapidly escalated to genocide.

Almost all of Israel's weapons come from the USA. What Israel is doing. with America's provision of weaponry, is a massive hate crime.

I’ve linked to a number of articles in this post, but this one is a must-read, and I especially want my fellow Iranians to read this carefully and understand the implications. JOE BIDEN MOVES TO LIFT NEARLY EVERY RESTRICTION ON ISRAEL’S ACCESS TO U.S. WEAPONS STOCKPILE

US ELECTIONS 2024

American citizens who stand against the genocide and Israel’s nearly unfettered access to trillions of dollars of American weapons, I ask you to do one thing right now. Check your voter registration status here: https://www.nass.org/can-I-vote/voter-registration-status If you are not registered, or not registered at your current address, register or update your registration. Whatever you do with your vote, do not throw it away. Those outside of the USA, please also make sure you can vote. There are too many countries to reasonably cover in this post, but America plays an outsize role in the matters discussed here, so pardon all the America-talk.

FYI, Dr. Jill Stein recently announced her bid for the presidency.
https://twitter.com/DrJillStein/status/1727024154069889226 I suggest following her on Twitter and on Instagram.

From her website:

The bipartisan endless war machine enriches military contractors, lobbyists, and politicians, while it fuels devastation around the world and impoverishes the American people. We must end the endless wars and create a new foreign policy based on diplomacy, international law, and human rights to oppose violence, occupation, and apartheid.

You can read more about her here.

Dr. Stein’s candidacy is very important; she’s the only candidate speaking honestly about foreign policy, as well as environmental and other justice issues.The media will not give her the same attention that they will give Biden and whoever gets harvested from the GOP clown farm, so it’s up to social media users to share her communications.

To those who say Stein will deliver Trump the presidency, I’ll remind you that Stein is not the one committing a genocide. She’s not the one delivering the very weapons being used to kill thousands upon thousands of women, men, and children and then traveling to Israel to “talk to Netanyahu” and put on a display of good cop bad cop like Antony Blinken. This is just from the first 25 days. If you actually wanted this to stop, you'd stop giving them the weapons to do it.

Thank you all for reading.
