This is really strange. I'm hearing we also did this to several other countries as well, but can only verify Iran so far.

This move seems definitely strange coming from this administration. Are these state-controlled propaganda outlets or opposition journalists? If the former, a CIA-backed coup could be on the horizon. If the latter, it’s par for the course.

Jug Ears gave up control of ICANN. How are we shutting them down other than hacking?

So let me get this straight. Iran news sites were shut down (hacked), and now Biden is claiming that we did it (even if we probably didn’t)? I mean, do I think this administration has it in them...nope. This is a farce.

Fantastic negotiating tactic, I must confess.

This'll bring 'em right to the table.

If you cannot accomplish the goal of terrorizing your own, do it to someone weaker.

That's pretty bold... now the US feds are telling citizens of other countries, what than can and cannot say while in other countries.

If the Asterisk Administration is shutting down folks for telling the truth in the name of limiting disinfo AUS SkyNews is on borrowes time. They've been anything but bashful about calling a spade a spade with respect to Sleepy's installation.
