Iran Protests, Starlink, and the Future of Space
Mahsa Amini took off her hijab on September 13, 2022, in Tehran, and three days later she was dead. Iranian police arrested her, beat her, and she died in the hospital.
Now tens of millions of people are protesting in Iran, and the regime is about to fall - an evil dictatorship that funded terrorism all over the world, was developing nuclear weapons to destroy the west, and, of course, hated women.
And nobody is really reporting this massive story. The Sunday New York Times home page? No mention of Iran…

This is the most despotic regime in the past 60 years. One that funded decades of terrorism and led to millions of lives lost and nobody is reporting the millions of people protesting…
And Iran has blacked out the Internet, cell phones, and all WiFi. No information can get in and out.
But do you know how I know this? How I know there are at least 13,000 civilians the government has shot and killed. How millions are in the streets. How entire cities are starting to fall?
Because of Starlink.
Through the use of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, Elon’s space-based satellite communications company Starlink aims to bring high-speed internet to everyone on the planet. Anytime, anywhere.
Reports estimate 50,000 or more Starlink satellites are currently operating in Iran, despite the regime’s communications blackout and banning of Starlink. And residents are beaming back images and reports to the rest of the world.
Indeed, Iranian officials are trying to “jam” the Starlink signal but Starlink terminals are still operating on the ground in the country, especially in less populated areas.
And it’s not just in Iran. People on the ground in other war-torn areas like Ukraine and Myanmar have used Starlink to stay connected and get out important information to the world.
That makes Starlink, which is going to be the biggest IPO in history this year with a $1.5 trillion valuation - even more valuable.
Where Is the News?!
This is the largest feminist movement in history and yet no one is reporting on it…

Sparked by Amini’s death in 2022, her life became a symbol of resistance against the oppressive regime. The phrase “Women, Life, Freedom” became a slogan of not just feminist opposition, but of wider resistance against Iran’s brutal crackdowns on protestors.
During recent protests, we’re seeing images of women burning or defacing images of Iran’s Supreme Leader.
The so-called “good guys” in the legacy media – who “report all the news that's fit to print” – are silent. Where is the news? Can someone tell me? Why won’t people report this?
This is a regime that has funded ISIS, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas, Syria, and every terrorist organization you can think of.
This is the regime that killed Mahsa Amini and countless others for simply expressing basic human rights. And the people are finally standing up…

(Thanks to Starlink, we can see images like this - showing us what is really happening).
You don't have to agree with Elon politically to know his Starlink technology is changing the world.
It has the ability to shed light on the millions of protestors who are about to change history. It's helping them change history.
And without Starlink, we would never know.
We’re Talking Space (in the App)!
Throughout our newsletters, we’re going to give you a rundown on all things space and a lot more.
For example, in Altucher’s Investment Network, you’ll learn about every publicly traded space stock worth knowing about -- 17 stocks in total. We’re talking the good, the bad, and the ones Warren Buffett inexplicably bought.
But that’s not all.
Crypto is going to be affected, and I’ll also have more to say here later this week…
Obviously oil is going to be affected.
The fact space is now available for humans to use and create means the world is going to change. It's going to change every single day.
Investing in change is the way to create generational wealth.
That’s why we’re paying attention to what is happening on the world stage.
But here’s the thing…
The number one piece of feedback we get from readers and subscribers is that it’s hard to keep track of all the information we send out.
Well, this just got much easier with our new (and 100% free) app.
The Paradigm app lets you browse all our content in one place.
The homepage is a feed of all the content you have access to. You can drill down to a specific publication (like Altucher Confidential or Altucher’s Investment Network), to see all the recent articles from just that letter.
You can also get notifications for new trade alerts, which is very handy (and optional). Readers can also access exclusive content through the Daily Feed, where all the editors from across Paradigm post their quick thoughts throughout the day.
The app also lets you bookmark key content for easy retrieval. I highly recommend checking it out (it’s free).
Simply click the link below to download the app. It will automatically detect if you’re using Android or iPhone and send you to the right place.
