Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
This is kinda funny.

Meanwhile, Iranian media has also closely followed the developments around the attack. Some of the seemingly more hardline outlets even wrote about it in positive terms. The Asr Iran outlet cited Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei as saying that the “arrow” shot by his predecessor “will one day hit the target.” The news outlet detailed the circumstances of the death sentence issued in Iran against Rushdie in a lengthy piece that portrayed the publication of ‘The Satanic Verses’ as part of a Western campaign against Islam and Iran.
The newspaper Kayhan published a piece in which it described Rushdie’s attacker as a brave person while branding the author himself “an apostate.” Another Iranian newspaper, the Khorasan daily, published a story titled, ‘Satan on the way to hell’.
Iran’s major news agencies, meanwhile, have taken a somewhat more subdued tone in describing the incident. IRNA news agency published a recap of a 2008 piece in which the publication of ‘The Satanic Verses’ was described as part of the Western “cultural invasion” targeting Iran and seeking to tarnish the supposedly growing appeal of Islam in the world and the “awakening” of Muslims.
Mehr News Agency issued a piece explaining Khomeini’s decision to call for Rushdie’s execution, saying that “the profound understanding and foresight of [Ayatollah Khomeini] has been clearly proven” decades after the order was issued.
Mohammad Marandi, an adviser to the Iranian delegation at the Vienna talks aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, questioned the timing of the attack by saying that it took place as “we [were] near a potential nuclear deal.” He also called Rushdie a “pawn of the empire” and said he would not be “shedding tears” for an author who he says “spouts endless hatred and contempt for Muslims and Islam.”
They’re in a difficult position. They can’t really say “oh we’re against this,” because it was a pretty big time fatwa. But I think it is fair enough to say that the timing is suspicious.
It’s bigger than the nuclear deal. It looks like the US is considering starting a war with Iran, and this is definitely something that will play into that heavily.
As I said yesterday, I think there’s a decent chance that it’s a hoax. Not a hoax as in, he wasn’t stabbed, but a hoax as in the FBI groomed a young Moslem with emotional problems into doing the attack. As I said, this is such a weird, retro type thing. No one was thinking about Salmon Rushdie, and the attacker was born after the fatwa was issued.
I agree with “no tears shed,” but it’s also hard to see how this benefits Iran, while it is easy to see how it benefits ZOG.
