Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post: Opinion: The world’s "even-handed" obituaries for Khamenei are a jarring joke. Calling the architect of 10/7 and a decades-long terror campaign a "hard-line cleric" or "regional power" is a complete moral failure. e

“The official discourse still tries to frame this as a confrontation between peoples. But on the ground, in the streets, in private chats, in closed comment sections, there is another story unfolding. A story of a people who do not recognize themselves in their leadership, and who are no longer willing to keep paying the price of an ideology they never chose.”

One could almost say the same thing about a senate that does not want to vote for the SAVE act to secure our elections just a little bit and even though 84% of Americans support the action of the SAVE act.

All the time the Iranians have been slaughtered for trying to overthrow a government that no longer represents them I have been wondering what would happen here if we attempted to water the tree of liberty as we revolt against our rogue and tone deaf elected supposed representatives. I hardly consider this an extreme consideration.

Even a major world figure that has support at Freerepublic is suffering loss.

Putin Joins Hezbollah Terrorist Leader to Mourn Khamenei’s Death
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2026/03/01/putin-joins-hezbollah-terrorist-leader-to-mourn-khameneis-death/

“A grieving Russian President Vladimir Putin mourned the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei claiming Sunday it was “a cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law.”
Putin sent his public condolences to his Iranian counterpart, promising Khamenei will be remembered “as an outstanding statesman” who helped elevate Russian-Iranian relations, AP reports.”

The IRGC was notorious for using rape as a political weapon against women who weren’t supportive enough of the regime. They did things that leave Jeffrey and Harvey in the dust. But oh well, we won’t mention that.

It would be interesting to compare leftist obituaries of Khamenei with their treatment of mainstream Christian leaders like RC Sproul and John MacArthur.

One thing this shows us is how deep the rabbit hole goes.
The world has been deeply infiltrated by terrorists dressed as journalists and politicians.
