Iranian Secret Police Intensify Satellite Dish Attacks Prior To 22nd
2006-08-17
(via Powerline)

Blog of the Week Vital Perspective notes that the government of Iran is going from building to building in Tehran, smashing satellite dishes. This can only be construed as an effort to cut Iranians off, as much as possible, from news originating in the outside world. Which strikes me as ominous, especially with August 22 only five days away.

#4  Like I said before, I wonder if the 22nd is connected to those Paki lads and their liquid blow-me-up juice in the UK?

#3  Some respectable people thing something really bad is going down on the 22nd. Ahmanutjob seems too happy: This will be your last interview...

#2  Actually, I'm glad to see they're "doing the dishes." Shutting down a man's TV ranks right up there with kicking his dog or telling him his sister is a whore. Makes em all seethin mad.

#1  I hope this is just 'SOP' for the 'new apocalyptic theocratic thinking' going on there, but these particular actions really bother me. In order to keep the populace in the dark about what you're really doing, whether you're winning or losing, remove their sources of outside infomation, then you can spoon-feed whatever you want.

As much as I distrust the international media, they do let me know I'm alive (because I can feel my bloodpressure rising).

Of course, the Hidden Imam (pbtui) wouldn't need TVs.
