Revolting Iranians

[festive]

Old Western tricks again, fermenting revolution and imposing their own people, then another revolution and a few years to get them out, It designed to weaken countries to keep them in turmoil, a clever ploy backed by israel.

Problem is we are doing it on ourselves also, look at the **** state the UK is in.

My question is what would Trump do if he was faced with rioters and vandalism on the streets?

1) Talk with them.
2) Run away.
3) Shout calm down.
4) Shoot.
5) Holds hands with them and sing kumbaya me lord.

My question is what would Trump do if he was faced with rioters and vandalism on the streets?

If they were pro-Trump he'd salute them, and wave them off and get some hapless, horn-smoking shmuck to pay for their arms and ammo.

If they were anti-Trump he'd call in the National Guard and tell them to shoot anyone dark skinned looking suspicious, on sight.

He’d encourage them if it was in his political self interest like it was on 6th January.

The Ayotollahs are admitting to 2K so I'd assume a minimum of 3k, I was reading 2k last week.
I expect Greta is sailing there as we speak.
Meanwhile, interesting little article from good ol Melanie.

A seismic uprising in Iran

Western liberals purse their lips over this blow to their own warped mindset

melaniephillips.substack.com

As the Iranian uprising continues to escalate, it’s been reported that hundreds of protesters have been killed by the regime’s security forces.

The internet, phone signals and lighting have been cut, and it’s feared the killings are intensifying behind the blackout.

Yet the Iranian people have increasingly poured onto the streets to confront the regime’s murder and torture squads. There’s never been such a mass display of raw courage in the teeth of such vicious repression.

If the regime does fall, this will be a seismic event, reshaping the region and world politics. The insurrection might be the most consequential global event so far this century. Yet from Western liberals, there’s been little more than pursed lips.

There have been no demonstrations in support of the embattled protesters. People who screamed falsehoods about Israel’s “massacres” of women and children in Gaza have been struck totally dumb about the carnage of civilians being deliberately wrought in Iran.

Most Western media initially ignored the Iranian insurrection, then downplayed it as mere “cost of living” protests, and then began to amplify regime propaganda claims.

The reason is that the uprising is not just against the regime but against the repressive tyranny of Islam itself. This is intolerable to Western liberals, because it gets in the way of their fixed narrative that, when Islamists commit mass murder against the innocent, it’s justified resistance against Western-backed imperialism.

Such liberals simply cannot acknowledge the reality of Islamic terrorism and repression.

Their belief that the Israelis and Western imperialism are always the villains, and Muslims are always their victims, is essential to their self-image as morally virtuous people.

It may sound incredible, but Islam has become synonymous with conscience itself among Western progressives.

This is because the Palestinian cause has become their signature motif.

The Palestinians are viewed as the ultimate oppressed people, dispossessed of their rightful inheritance and victims of Israeli “genocide,” “apartheid” and war crimes in Gaza.

Every part of that is a lie. But among liberals it’s an article of faith.

So they’ve failed to grasp how this cause has been leveraged by the Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood bent upon the conquest of the West. This is particularly true of Qatar, which has patiently spread its influence throughout Western universities and even bought up various Western media personalities.

The Palestinian cause has embedded into the Western mind the inversion of truth and lies, victim and aggressor, justice and tyranny, which is a hallmark of the Islamic world and has found such fertile ground in the post-truth, post-moral Western intelligentsia.

So the keffiyeh-clad classes have been cementing Islamic control over Western streets and public space.

In Britain this is far advanced, with the Labour government under Keir Starmer refusing to outlaw genetically damaging Muslim cousin marriage and dragging its heels over dealing with the mainly Muslim rape and grooming gangs.

The police in Birmingham are so under the thumb of local Islamists that they banned and defamed Israeli football fans for allegedly posing a threat to the city’s Muslims, who in fact posed a threat to them.

In America, this insidious process is also making inroads, particularly in New York where the Islamist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has issued only a belated and half-hearted criticism of the intimidatory Hamas chants outside a Queens synagogue last Thursday night.

This steady Islamist encroachment into Britain and America has been made possible by the connivance of liberals who believe the Muslim world is the historic victim of the West.

When the mullahs came to power in Iran in 1979, those liberals cheered what they viewed as a revolution against US-backed repression by the Shah.

Ever since, they’ve ignored the Islamic regime’s hanging of gay people and dissidents from cranes, its murder of young women for exposing too much of their hair, and the global terrorism of its self-declared war on the free world.

They have instead marched shoulder to shoulder with Islamists in common cause against Israel and America.

In fact, the Islamic holy war against the West was itself detonated by the 1979 Iranian revolution. Those Shia clerics electrified the entire Muslim world by being seen to have created in Iran an Islamic caliphate. This galvanised Sunni Muslims to believe that they could bring this off elsewhere.

That belief was given rocket fuel by the Hamas-led onslaught against Israel on October 7, 2023. Yet that resulted in Israel’s decimation of Hezbollah, its destruction of Iranian air defences and America’s final eradication of Iran’s nuclear programme.

This severe weakening of the feared regime led directly to the popular uprising which could now finally bring it down.

If that happens, it will be a blow to Islamists around the world and a powerful move towards peace and freedom. No wonder those who are anti-America, anti-West and anti-Jew are so aghast. But all decent people should pray that the heroic Iranian protesters achieve their victory over a scourge that menaces the entire world.

Somebody said on the lunchtime news that you know when the regime is very close to being on the way out when they start shooting people.

Er...what happened in Burma when my Dad was there in 1988?

3000 dead. Sounds familiar?

In Burma there was democracy before 1962. Then Ne Win staged a military coup.

The uprising forced him to resign, but he was still in the background.

He died under house arrest in 2002.

After his resignation, a new military junta took over (SLORC).

There was democracy briefly in 2015, when Aung San Suu Kyi's party won an election, but in 2021, it was overthrown by the military.

Since 2021, hospitals have been under attack, as have water treatment plants and domestic gas and electricity production has plummeted.

There is a humanitarian crisis going on. Over 16 million people need food, healthcare and shelter because 3.6 million people have been displaced and there has been outbreaks of diseases.

Human rights abuses against the Rohingya people are rife and there have been attacks on civilians and blocks on access for humanitarian aid.

Two things of note here:

1. The similarities with other situations happening elsewhere in the world.

2. The fact that this situation in Myanmar has not received the same coverage in the press as the stuff going off in the Middle East.

Trump tells Iran protesters 'HELP IS ON ITS WAY'​

We've just heard from the US President Donald Trump.

He's called upon demonstrators in Iran to "KEEP PROTESTING".

As a result of the violence against protesters, Trump says he's "cancelled all meetings with Iranian officials" until such a time when the crackdown stops.

The US president adds: "HELP IS ON ITS WAY!"

Analysis: Trump's 'astonishing' call to arms can only go wrong​

"This has an eerie feel to me," our defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke says of Donald Trump's latest statement (see the "astonishing" call to arms in our 14.45 post).

He says that the latest from the US president has an unhappy historical precedent that ended very badly.

"It's hard to imagine it not going wrong... does he know what he's asking them to do?" Clarke adds.

Nine children are amongst the dead and the orange nutter keeps posting.
