"‼️The Paper Tiger Must Fall: Iran and Venezuela’s Struggle Against US-Imperialism ‼️

👉Join us on 10/2 at the Second Floor Community Space for a panel discussion about Iran and Venezuela’s Struggle Against US-Imperialism.

🔺Building on our recent screenings, this event invites participants to explore the historical, political, and economic dimensions of Iran and Venezuela’s relations with the United States. Through discussion and exchange, we aim to create space for critical thinking and dialogue around international power, sovereignty, and alternative political paths.

🔺Start: 19:00
🔺Location: Second Floor Community Space, Valtetsiou 50–52
🔺Accessibility: Real-time translation in Greek available (please bring headphones).

🔺Context:
The event approaches Iran and Venezuela as indigenous southern revolutionary movements that have pursued resource nationalization and sovereign development, often framed as resistance to U.S.-led imperialism and global “full spectrum dominance”.

Δεν είναι απλώς άστοχη, είναι προσβλητική η στήριξη σε ένα καθεστώς που μόλις πριν από έναν μήνα κατέστειλε βίαια και οδήγησε στον θάνατο χιλιάδες πολίτες του.

Right, this article is too much.

BTW the rapper in the video of her article was later sentenced to death by the islamic republic www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Analytical Report on “Iranians’ Political Preferences in 2024” – Gamaan

-not even calling it a regime, but government;
-It is sketchy to make claims about people's opinion based solely on regime's data. The available independent polls contradict her (I know the issues with such online polls, but by design there is nothing else) gamaan.org/2025/08/20/a...

Sadly she might be right about her assessment.
If not pro-regime, clearly trying to put it in a better light.
Besides the misrepresentation of hijab enforcement:
-presenting the attempt to a regime change as not serving Iranians' interests;
-toning down the regime's killings of thousands Iranians;

Interesting to read, but the article reads like the take of a pro-regime reformist. Eg they haven't relaxed hijab enf after 2022, they have even increased penalties (+reports of harsher enforcement even during war). &that was after many deaths. The people I speak to don't see this as a viable option

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from January 5, 2025, to January 12, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity remains lower than normal most of the time period due to protests, with a sharp drop on the evening of January 8. The drop in connectivity aligns with protests across the nation. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption.

Δυστυχως ναι. Είναι απλα τραγικοί, ειδικά όταν ένας από αυτούς λέει ότι η αλλαγή καθεστώτος θα μπορούσε, τελείως υποθετικά, να ήταν θετική για τους Ιρανούς, αλλά υπονοεί ότι δεν είναι καλή λύση επειδή θα ωφελούσε περισσότερο τις ΗΠΑ και το Ισραήλ. Προτεραιότητες..

Iranians are chanting his name & I would say that deserves reporting irrespectively of our thoughts about monarchy. What is underreported is that he does not formally claim the crown & has formed a coalition with a clear transition plan with a referendum, drawing support even from anti-monarchists.

And this is a paper I would not have had to do if Hoyt and Schatten had clearly described their work.
But I must add, without encouragement from you and others, this paper almost certainly would not have been written.

DOEresponseSite On July 29, 2025, the Department of Energy (DOE) published a report from its Climate Working Group (CWG). This report features prominently in the EPA's reconsideration of its 2009 Endangerment Finding. In response, over 85 scientists have come together to write a comprehensive review, which is

Proud to be part of an effort by 85 scientists from around the world to respond to a misleading DOE climate science report last month.

The fact that our rebuttal is more than 3x the length of the DOE report is a good example of Brandolini's Law in action...

There's a lot of very interesting material in the response from experts across many domains if you want to learn something solar reconstructions, coral reefs, U.S. temperature data, atmospheric temperature trends, climate models, etc. Andrew did a great job organizing with a very small (30d) window.
