MASS PROTESTS IN IRAN: Protesters Rise Up Against Regime, Block Roads, Take Over City Halls
GP ^ | November 17,2019 | Jim Hoft

Defiant protesters in the city of Robat Karim – south of Tehran – took over the city hall, controlled the city, forcing the suppressive police forces to flee. Centers of suppression and plunder in the city, including 12 banks, have been set ablaze by the young protesters.

Protesters in Tehran Pars overturned a police bus and set it on fire. The city hall of Salehiye in Tehran was attacked by insurgent youth. Protesters shouting “Death to Bassiji” attacked and burnt down the Kosar Pazand Bank, another center for regime plunder. In the southern district of Mallard in Tehran, protesters set fire to another petrol station.

Protesters in Khorramabad attacked the regime’s radio and television station in the city and broke all windows. They set several state-owned banks on fire or broke their windows.

Protesters in the major cities of Shiraz and Isfahan have blocked major squares and set up bonfires. Two Bassij (regime paramilitary forces) bases in Khayam Street in Shiraz were set on fire. In Isfahan’s Shahin Shahr the people chanted, “Fear not, we are all together.”

“ Don’t get excited. 12 banks,a gas station and some broken windows is not regime change. It’s a symptom and we hope it gets MUCH bigger.”

That’s two blocks in Manhattan.

Who’s side is Allah on?

Partner, LMAO on ur statement. Great post!

The Mullahs will have to relinquish their power and hold on the good folks of Iran.

The folks that are protesting know that their tax $$$ are going to rebellious folks and other rebellious mooselimbs and they have had enough. Plus the rebellious folks want the Mullahs out and they want fair and representative government.

The Iranian folks know that the Mooselimb religion is a Gutter Religion and they do not want any part of it.

I won’t pay much attention until I see the Mullah’s hanging in the streets of Tehran.

They are supposedly unhappy with the rise in gasoline prices. I thought the price of gas in these mid east countries was way less than $1.00/per gal. Any one know?

This Link says that it was 43 cents per gallon in October.

LOL.

Gas prices my rear end.

I watched a recent video (couple of days old) from Glenn Beck that was interesting. I am skeptical but there has to be a greater reason for why the Democrats are reacting so harshly to Trump's poking around in Ukraine.

So, put on your tinfoil hat... the claim is that the US State dept (under Obama and Hillary) and Soros were working together to topple governments with the goal of rewriting toppled country's constitution and replacing the leadership with favorable people. Clandestine nation building in the image of socialism/communism. The claim is that it happened in Ukraine and then Macedonia, etc.

I will hold off believing this theory but will keep my ear to the rail. Trump touched a nerve and a lot of people were panicking and it has little to do with quid-pro-quo. There is more to it all than meets the eyes, IMO.

“ There is more to it all than meets the eyes, IMO.”

I absolutely agree. With the Rats, it’s always about money and power. - For themselves

Perhaps - also inspired by President Trump’s actions to help nudge them to go against the terror regime(s).

There are some very big players involved indeed. Ukraine seems to be the go to place for laundering and corruption; for the DNC, Hillary, Biden, and possibly others and the the Trump dossier.

Also, you might wonder why the big deal because the Obama admin were going after our enemies; US enemies. This is a good thing, right? A Tom Clancy novel...

The problem is two fold:

1. Is it right for the United States to be doing this?
2. Soros, the US and company are replacing one enemy (vicious brutal dictators, evil leaders, etc.) with another worse form of government — communists.

Also, I believe that Soros is evil and with evil intent. Nothing he does is good. So what are his motives?

Here is the link to the Glenn Beck video. GB wanders a bit and it is long. But it is interesting.
