The Untimely death for the Butcher of Tehran: Who will mourn the death of an evil man who presided over the death and torture of so many?

Buckets of blood dripped from Ebrahim Raisi, the 8th president of Iran, for his roles on the “Death Committee” and other atrocities under his direction. He wore a black turban to claim that he descended from the Prophet Muhammad. The Shiite president did not survive the helicopter crash of May 19, 2024. Who will mourn the death of an evil man who presided over the death and torture of so many?

Dissidents were tortured, subjected to cruel inhuman treatment, and killed. A political purge against political dissidents lasted five months during 1988. Ordered by Ayatollah Khomeini, the “Death Committee” was a secret tribunal with four members, including Raisi. People were loaded into forklift trucks in groups of six and hanged from cranes in half-hour intervals. Amnesty International claims the numbers were between 2,800-3,800; alternative sources put the number around 30,000. Murdered victim of the political opposition included children. Raisi believed the amputation of hands for thieves (even children) without limit, tight morality laws, and the strictest interpretation of Sharia.

Raisi claimed honor for his role in these mass executions, earning him the title “Butcher of Tehran.” Former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennet said of Raisi that he “celebrated the murder of his own people by eating cream cakes.”

When Donald Trump was president, sanctions were imposed on Iran and Raisi was blacklisted over his human rights record of mass executions and violent repression during the Green Movement in 2009. Raisi has been accused of crimes against humanity by international human rights organizations and the United Nations. Trump also pulled out of the Iranian Nuclear Deal, and stepped up crushing economic pressure, cutting off Iranian businesses from international banking. The U.S. State Department has designated Iran as one of the world’s leading sponsors of terrorism since 1979.

Apparently Biden did send condolences to the Iranian government. If Biden had been President on May 1, 1945, he would have sent condolences to the German government for the death of Hitler.

So did he get his 72 virgins or did all those people he butchered meet him and escort him to his eternal torture?

Somewhere in DNC headquarters someone is complaining that he was a piker for only killing 30,000 of his political opponents.
