Setareh Sadeqi: Iran’s protests: a different view from the ground

Iran’s protests: a different view from the ground Setareh Sadeqi, an Esfahan, Iran-based scholar and teacher, provides Max Blumenthal with a view of Iran’s protests against the country’s morality police and the death of Mahsa Amini never heard in US mainstream. Sadeqi explains that while many Iranians oppose the morality police, the protests have failed to spread far outside Tehran, and have relied heavily on social media amplification from the outside - including from neoconservative elements hell bent on regime change - to magnify the impact of the protests. Sadeqi also addresses the impact of US sanctions on Iranian women, and details civil disobedience by Iranian women that has never registered in Western media.

Nicaragua: Escape to Freedom

Audio from the documentary: Nicaragua: Escape to Freedom They escaped the lockdowns to this Nicaraguan town Max Blumenthal documents the lives of Canadians, Australians, Americans and those from as far as Singapore who left everything behind and resettled in the Nicaraguan beachside community of San Juan del Sur, all to escape the Covid lockdowns and mandates that nearly ruined their lives.  These expats detail the hardship and repression of lockdown, the pain of losing family and friends who succumbed to state-led propaganda, and their frustration with scientifically dubious public health guidelines.  Now in Nicaragua, they describe encountering an atmosphere of freedom, safety and community at stark odds with the image put forward by Western media, which has demonized the country's socialist-oriented government as a brutal autocracy. ||| The Grayzone ||| Find more reporting at https://thegrayzone.com  Support our original journalism at Patreon: https://patreon.com/grayzone  Facebook: https://facebook.com/thegrayzone Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegrayzonenews Instagram: https://instagram.com/thegrayzonenews Minds: https://minds.com/thegrayzone Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@thegrayzone Max Blumenthal: https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal https://rokfin.com/MaxBlumenthal
