Your source's first chart doesn't match the actual OCHA numbers -- look at October 31 for example; their dot is well above 8,000 while the OCHA chart shows 8,005.

I didn't dig too much into the other statistical arguments, because I didn't see a link to the actual raw data in either place. Do you have links to the actual data? Usually my reaction to claims from a source I've never heard of is to test some of the things they're saying against things I can verify, and tabletmag.com failed for the one thing I tested it on that way.

I also found this article, which never mind what it says about the Iran deal, includes this fascinating little statement:

They lied about an “insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, to justify designating one half of the country as domestic terrorists, in order to put their political opponents in jail.
