					<description><![CDATA[Doug in Exile (Florida, maybe Tampa?) has posed unedited footage of mass protests in Tehran, including the Sat night toppling of the Solemeini (sp?) statue there!

Doug thinks a tipping point is arriving where the people feel safe enough to challenge the imposed order (no Bajig, for instance),

Are the people revolting? Reza Palavi letter endorses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgBlCkyCwj4

While this 10m unedited YT post ends with more street celebrations, from the middle, Doug spends around 3 minutes on the coming legal case against Tucker Carlson. 

Apparently, he trafficked disinformation to the Ayatollah—saying that Trump was unlikely to attack Iran, just before Trump leads the attacks!

Foreign Agent Registration violations are coming. (LOLz anyone?)

Otherwise, this video begs for early optimism over popular support for the Israeli-US War against the Theocracy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What’s all this Stayin’ Alive Jive Talkin’?

“IDF reveals: Brother of Michigan terrorist was Hezbollah commander;
“According to the IDF, Ayman Ghazali&#039;s brother, Ibrahim, was responsible for managing weapons operations within a specialized branch of the Badr Unit and was eliminated in an IAF strike.”—
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/423974

Good enough reason as any to blow up a Jew School full of Jew kiddies…and then get the ever-supportive LIBERAL media to &lt;strike&gt;back you up&lt;/strike&gt; essentially exonerate you with profound understanding and compassionate rationalizations…

The Victimization Olympics proceeds apace…]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;”Then Starlink went down, which some 90 million Russians use…”&lt;/i&gt;

Ahhh, no.  That would be nearly 2/3s of the Russian population.  It is not possible for that many Russians to use Starlink.  Not even close.

1) Starlink is not authorized for use in Russia by either the Russian or the American government.

2) Starlink is a subscription service, and most Russians are cutoff from international payment systems.  They couldn’t pay for Starlink even if they could physically get it.

3) Starlink dishes have a built-in GPS receiver.  The receiver knows where it is to within just a few meters.  It will not work outside its designated area, which means it won’t work in Russia.

4) Starlink satellites broadcast into a moving footprint only a few kilometers in diameter.  They will stop sending and receiving signals once that footprint crosses entirely into Russian territory.

5) Each Starlink satellite has a capacity of “only” 90 Gbps total spread among all users within the satellite’s footprint.  This limits the satellite to just a few hundred simultaneous users.

6)  Only 3.4% of the &lt;b&gt;polar-orbiting&lt;/b&gt; Starlink satellites are over Russia at any given time.  Most of the Starlink satellites are in either a 53-degree orbit that passes over only the southernmost parts of Russia or a 43-degree orbit that doesn’t pass over Russia at all.

There might be a few thousand Russians near the border with Finland or the Baltics that get Starlink illegally, but it is not physically possible for anywhere near 90 million Russians to have Starlink service.  It just can’t happen.]]></description>
