A good indicator of seriousness/desperation, is when the regime flies in units of foreign thugs to beat and kill domestic protestors. They have done this before with some of their foreign surrogate militias, like Hizbollah from Lebanon, when unrest got hot in Iran.

I’m hoping that Americans find the courage to fight like a lot of people around the world are doing now. It’s the ONLY thing tyranny understands.

Yes, I remember 2009 when it was more than hot.

You are correct. Evil like the ComDems, only responds to force. They are not bridled by any other belief.

Worst domestic violence in Iran, since the Green Revolution in 2009. Some number of security forces have been killed, and a hundred banks burned.

The supreme leader designated it a security situation, rather than social unrest, unleashing a widespread use of lethal force.

Riots started on Friday, when 50% price hikes on gas were enacted. Both the supreme leader and Rouhani announced on Wednesday that they had restored calm, but Internet was still out, and some number of events continue.

The Government claims that they arrested dual-national provocateurs (German, Afghan, etc.) trained by foreign governments, and equipped with sabotage devices.

(Good time for the Saudis to take revenge for Iranian attacks on their oil infrastructure.)

Both Lebanon and Iraq, where the Iranian regime operates their main foreign surrogate militias, are undergoing major protests against Iranian interference.

Thanks for info.

Perspective on this is hard to deal with when there is little outside communication.

There are always some that continues, but Iran is not easy even in good situations.

[Even with their part time hired muscle, the regime is far outnumbered by the population. If people start individually attacking the regime personnel themselves, instead of clustering together into crowds for focused oppression.]


That’s not the way rebellions (or successful military operations) work. Typically, you mass against the enemy’s vulnerable spots. That means mobs against individual policemen and attacks against family members. When cops have to choose between defending the regime and defending their families, they’ll choose their families.

The time to start killing the regime members is here, or it is getting close.

While Iran and Hong Kong struggle to throw off their chains, our politicians are in the circus clown car doing nothing.

Our ComDems are trying to forge our chains now.

It is our duty to deal with them.
