Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption & its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people’s rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching! #IranProtests

Western media are ignoring a revolution in Iran
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/12/western_media_are_ignoring_a_revolution_in_iran.ht ml
"Something profound is happening throughout Iran, and the Western mass media are just not reporting it.
For some time now, protests by ordinary Iranians have become a daily routine. These protesters include workers who have not been paid wages or have become redundant; savers who have lost their savings in Iran's many quasi-banks, which are infested with corruption and embezzlement; people concerned about the environmental disaster Iran is fast becoming; people protesting rising prices; retired pensioners whose retirement funds have been plundered by successive administrations; and low-income people who can no longer make ends meet........."
Maybe more will start taking notice.
This would not be the first time major news organizations shaded their news in a country. CNN got caught red handed in Iraq leading up to and during the first Gulf War. Their reply was "Eh, who cares. We did it to keep our office open."
MSM - Fake News indeed.

I was thinking along similar lines. Perhaps a certain clandestine service received funds to help stir the pot.

"Iranians Revolt. Why Now?"
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/12/iranians-revolt-why-now.php
"...........I wonder whether the Iranian rebellion has been incited, at least in part, by a conviction that there finally is an administration in Washington prepared to support them, at least morally and perhaps materially. Why would Iranians think that? No doubt they have paid close attention to President Trump’s willingness to stand up to their oppressors. And perhaps Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital sent a signal that there has been a changing of the guard in Washington. ......."
Let us not forget that the NK little fat pot sticker's quest for nukes is being materially supported by Iran.

The younger people of Iran have always looked more favorable to the west. This video was produced by a couple of Iranian brothers who fled to Canada.

I would like to believe that with all the freekin' money we've paid into the CIA, that they would be working behind the scenes in Iran to push this unrest and uprising.
They seem to be MIA as far as having infiltrated the NOKO's. Just last week I read where zip drives were being smuggled into NOKO. This should have been done years ago! :mad: Once these people have visibility into what is happening outside their little world the genie can't be put back in the bottle.
I knew a guy who sponsored a Russian family back in the late 80's. He took them to a grocery store for the first time and he said they were really angry. They were led to believe that the whole world lived like they did and the shelves in the stores were always empty. They also had a hard time with making decisions. They would look at a whole shelf with many varieties of bread or cereal and not be able to choose which one they wanted. This was due to living a life with no options before you.

Desert Storm, the Kuwaitis could not infiltrate the Iraqi intel, because, they were so f**king tribal. We'd have a better chance of teaching chimpanzees to rule the middle east.
What the internet does is allow them to see the real world and how it operates without them. And as I've said on here before, the Iranian military is a joke........... it possesses all the might of the Somali Navy........ and all the mouth of al sharpton.

Iran is my biggest pain in the side in this world. Getting Persia back would be a real Blessing right now.
I'm tuned into Iran Aryaee TV watching all the footage as it comes in.
This is a Nationwide protest versus only the protests in Tehran in 2009 which baraq outright ignored to all our peril.
Keep the pressure on them so they turn in-wards instead of screwing with the world using DPRK, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Central America, Cuba, Venezuela, and God knows where else.
I have had it with the seven dwarfs, crocodiles and sharks. They are all crazy and shant able to run a Nation much less a lemonade stand.
Curse them
I'd say a few A teams are in order...
#BreakingReports
Iranian protesters took over the town of #Kashan (248.000 inhabitants).
Protesters took over police stations and captured weapons of the regime forces.
#IranProtests
Well, if this turns out to be an "Iranian Spring"...I wonder how that will turn out??? Libya, Syria, etc...
It could get a whole lot of stupid...
Likes like things are going to get real
"It actually seems like security forces have retreated in a lot of places including Teheran. Some footage of protesters torching abandoned military vehicles there.
The Kurdish and Azeri minorities are apparently planning on joining in tomorrow, increasing the pressure. And the Kurds have armed militias at their disposal."

Saudi is not on that kick anymore.
The Persians can run a good shop themselves once the Mullah's are gone.
Very professional.
The question will be where the IRGC stands.
It would be something so far beyond believable.... watching a bunch of antagonizing tweets from the "anti-politician" start a reaction that led to a change in Iran that 50 years of meddling by a politically motivated CIA simply cannot make happen.
It would be so satisfying to watch the heads of establishment hacks explode in disbelief.
I'd expect to see the establishment actually interfere with such a success just on principle though.

I’d wager that Iran has been left alone as not to cause a power vacuum in the region. They are no threat to anyone other then their neighbors. The only power they might be able to project is terrorism, that’s about it. The protests are probably a result of them continuing their nuclear program and the West saying, “that’s enough” enjoy the coming coup.

And Israel, well put it this way.... Without the Mullahs, they could rest far easier.

Iran is surrounded by enemies, sunnis rule in most countries close to them and all would like a piece of them. The only thing the USA needs do is keep a close eye on their nuke program. Military wise, they are not a threat to us.

Yeah and Ironically the GWOT is what strengthened Iran, Iraq was their major enemy which we took out for them and same with the Taliban. The Iran and Saudi rivalry goes beyond Sunni VS. Shia.
Iran's constitution and ideology views Monarchism as a satanic rule, due to their experience with the Reza Shah's, and as we know the Saudi's operate in a monarchy.
With Syria the Assad's have been Shia, governing in a majority Sunni country that once had religious harmony between Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Politicians in the Middle East have also changed Muslim denominations for personal movement, same as ours here with Republican and Democrat, rare but they do happen.
The power moves by the major players and conflicts in the modern Middle East are more due to Cold War actions, geo-poltical history, and who have been the masters of puppet states in the region. Shia VS. Sunni does play a part in these conflicts, only to recruit and motivate low level figures and fighters.
"The Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has announced that they will take control of security in Teheran shortly, local police will be told to surrender their enforcement powers to the IRGC."
"Some snippets again:
Various buildings associated with the regime are being torched in a number of cities, including government offices, Basij militia facilities and mosques.
The bulk of the protesters are from the poorest groups in society, unlike past ones where it was mostly middle class.
Interesting new slogans today include ”no to Quran, no to Islam” but the most common ones seems to be ”death to Khamenei” and ”death to the Islamic Republic”.
One piece of video surfaced of a riot gear equipped man proclaiming to a crowd that ”I didn’t join the military to fight you” and the crowd chanting ”he’s with us”.
More reports of security forces refusing to attack protestors.
Another video Depicted this: ”Female protester to older Iranians: "You raised your fists and ruined our lives [referring to the 1979 Islamic revolution]. Now we raise our fists [to fix your mistake]. Be men, join us. I as a woman will stand in front and protect you. Come represent your country."
The regime media reported that protestors shot and killed one police officer and wounded three others. The number of protestors killed is 20+.
There seem to be no end to videos showing different portrait billboards of Khamenei and Khomeni being toppled or torched."

The USA going against Assad was in my opinion a bad idea....... as we sided with the wrong people. We probably did so just to appease the Saudis.
Hopefully we soon see the overthrow of the Iranian government/islamic dictatorship and they put in some real leaders. Would be amusing to see Iran friendly with the United States again.

Agree. Assad is an evil asshat, however, we did not have a less evil asshat to take his place. None of the counter Assad forces had/have a chance in hell of running that country even if they were to defeat the Syrian forces. Most of the ones that were trained by the coalition ran away with the equipment.

I work with several Persians, mostly Persian Jews. They hate the Iranian government. They are serious over achievers. They think Iran should still be ruling the world. They are also aware of the possibility of complete destruction if the imams continue their present course of action.
An interesting take...

Not an issue, we have pallets and pallets of weapons and comms we can air-drop.;)
Most of the younger crowd tend to forget Iran lost a great number of young men in the 1980's war with Iraq.
Iraq, using border disputes as an excuse and the hoped for disarray of Iranian forces after the fall of the Shah attacked in the fall of 1980.
The next 8 years was like WW I with trench warfare and human wave attacks.
It's estimated around 500,000 soldiers from Iraq and Iran were killed with an equal number of civilians.
This war was also one of the reasons Iraq attacked Kuwait a couple of years later.

But the revolution did not start out as a blue-collar endeavor. The 1979 revolution was very much a socialist revolt, sponsored and paid for by the Soviet Union in an attempt to flip Iran to communist side on the Risk board.
https://www.facebook.com/notes/john-ringo/a-note-on-the-iran-protests/10155334568097055/
This from the Facebook link couldn't be anymore false. The Iranian Revolution of '79 was opposing both capiltaist west and communist east. The Soviets were petrified of this revolution moving across boarders which it did in A-stan shortly after, removing their socialist influence there. The Soviets also largely aided Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War as well.
The 1979 Iran Revolution was a domestic grass roots movement against both the Soviets attempt of influence and the Western puppet Shah that was in charge. Turns out they don't like foreign influence or western regime change. The reason stable democracies don't flourish well in the Middle East is not just, "they're to dumb for freedumbz." Rather, they lead to installed puppet leaders and what happens when puppet leaders are not installed...??
You get over throw attempts like Syria...
Syria. A democracy with 5 different political parties, an elected leader that has great approval rating and was governed with cultural and economic harmony. Real evil dictator huh? Most don't even know plans to topple Syria's democracy go way back to 2006, to cator to our Zionest "greatest ally" and Wahhabi terrorist "ally."
