In Iran, the armed revolt is starting

Apparently the mullahs and their goon squads were in for a surprise when on Sunday, someone opened fire on them in Khorramshahr, 400 miles southwest of Tehran, as they rolled in to shut down a protest over locals getting poisoned by untreated water. It's an area with a large Arabic population out near the Iraqi border. The gunfire came back at them.

Mowing down is now going two ways, and it's clear the regime is scared - their official state media said the protestors only threw stones and garbage. Well, no. There's a spectacular, well-shot video on Twitter here, showing a protestor firing back on the Iranian state goons, and it's starting to attract the notice of the news - here, here, here and here. Breitbart (the last link) says four were killed. The mullahs are saying it was one.

Gives you the flavor of the propaganda war going on, and the mullahs' desperate and failing effort to suppress the news. Scared they are, indeed. And this is likely to get worse.

Now, it was just one person with a gun, and we have occasionally seen that sort of thing in both Cuba ad Venezuela. It may mean nothing and go away. But the fact that the news is on it serves as a multiplier effect and is likely to encourage more action. That's different from what's going on in Cuba or Venezuela where such events are found only in local news briefs. Meanwhile, as we have reported here, there is a big conference of Iran democracy activists over in Paris and it's being closely watched by all sorts of Iranian exiles, as noted in the tele-presence of Albanians here. You can BET the Iranians are watching, too.

There's a stage for change building.

Netanyahu offer to help solve Iran's water crisis, launches Farsi website with plans for water recycling:

The Iranian regime shouts: 'Death to Israel!' In response, Israel shouts: 'Life to the Iranian people!'"

How evil is American journalism that they have no interest in this?

1) No fly zone. 2) Station troops on the Iran/Syria border so that the Iranian troops in Syria cannot return.

Maybe because the source seems to be the MEK. The article refers to the big MEK affair in Paris. I would be very wary of anything originating from the MEK which has very little following in Iran itself after they aligned with Saddam Hussein in his invasion of the motherland.

Hope Trump tells Gina and Mike to send them a shiite load of untraceable guns and ammo.

I’ll bet he does lol. Why not?

Their only interest is in covering it up. They are simpatico with Obama’s support for Iran.

After Trump fixes Iran, he can focus on the corrupt governments in Central America.

Russia will not allow Iran to fall/Don’t be so sure about that.

---

If Russia doesn’t allow Iran to fall it would take advisors sent in, then a few troops, then training Iranians,then increasing amounts of Russian soldiers and weapons. A few decades later, withdraw in humiliation. Heard that story somewhere before.

Trumpites were recently in Iran showing support for rebellious Iranians

“The mullahs must go, the ayatollah must go, and they must be replaced by a democratic government which Madam Rajavi represents,” Giuliani said. “Freedom is right around the corner ... Next year I want to have this convention in Tehran!”

Why should ValJar Pay attention?

To watch her work be rejected and overturned.

In other words, she gets to feel the sting of her own failure and irrelevance.

1) No fly zone.
2) Station troops on the Iran/Syria border so that the Iranian troops in Syria cannot return.

From a border, supply arms to the brave protestors. A little payback for all of our soldiers the regime maimed and killed with their roadside bombs in Iraq.

In Poland, Solidarnosc overturned the Communist regime. The media then covered the struggle of the Polish people, and even some Democrat politicians gave moral support. The CIA gave covert support of secure communication devices, as well as intelligence to let Solidarnosc know what the Jaruszelski regime and his backers in Moscow were up too. Yet they played the role as water carriers, since this was the struggle of the Polish people. Reagan was President then.
Fast forward to the previous administration. The Iranian dissidents were thrown under the bus by Obama and ValJar. A point was made to ignore the people. Maybe it will be different under Trump. Just use the playbook we used in Poland. It is the fight of the Iranian (or Persian, if you will) people, but we can provide the tools and the moral support.

Trump should meet with the son of the Shah—photo of the two shaking hands to all the media. The young man could vow to bring back a Republican Government with a monarch and bring freedom and a new peace treaty with the USA.
