Moon
of Alabama bracht afgelopen vrijdag een bericht over de protesten in
Iraanse steden tegen de slechte economische omstandigheden. Volgens
de schrijver van het artikel is het duidelijk dat deze protesten
onderdeel uitmaken van een door de VS en Israël opgezette operatie
die in Iran tot een verandering van regime moet leiden. Gezien de enorme
kritiek, bol van leugens van deze 2 landen, overigens in samenspraak en innig overleg met de reli-fascistische dictatuur van
Saoedi-Arabië, is de kans bijzonder groot dat deze schrijver gelijk
heeft…….
Vergeet
niet dat dit de beproefde manier van werken is, die de VS al
meermaals heeft gebruikt, al is het succes ‘niet altijd even groot’,
neem Syrië……. Overigens een methode die veelal wordt
voorafgegaan door een economische oorlogsvoering van de VS middels een boycot en sancties tegen het
door de oorlogshitsers aangewezen doel, zie: Libië en Venezuela…… Daarmee krijg je uiteindelijk de mensen wel op
straat. Neem het gebrek aan medicijnen in Venezuela, deze is puur en
alleen aan de VS te danken en aan haar vazalstaten die aan Venezuela
grenzen…….
Hetzelfde geldt voor levensmiddelen: een paar grote supermarktketens in Venezuela zijn in handen van VS ondernemingen, deze stopten al onder druk van ‘vredesduif’ Obama met het bevoorraden van de winkels……..
Terug naar Iran: de
schrijver van het artikel hieronder, ‘b’ stelt dat de protesten terecht zijn vanwege de zoals
deze het noemt (neo-) liberale koers die de regering Rohani vaart.
Wat deze b vergeet is de volkomen onterechte economische boycot tegen Iran, ingegeven door de VS, een boycot die z’n sporen nog steeds
dwars door Iran trekt….. Deze (VS) boycot werd eerder deels opgeheven onder Obama (n.a.v. de nucleaire deal met Iran), maar is intussen al weer ingesteld
door dezelfde VS (uiteraard onder de junta van het 666 beest Trump), de VS ofwel de grootste terreurentiteit op aarde…..
De
gematigde krachten in Iran hebben de laatste verkiezingen gewonnen en
het zou ons in het westen sieren, deze krachten de kans te geven om
langzaam veranderingen door te voeren. Als dit te snel gaat, grijpen
de fundamentalistische krachten de macht en moet ‘het spel’ van voren
af aan opnieuw gespeeld worden, zoals we eerder al gezien hebben, bijvoorbeeld in 2009 met de zogenaamde ‘Groene Revolutie….’ Logisch dus, dat Iraniërs die
verandering willen, allesbehalve geholpen zijn met een snelle omwenteling……
De
zogenaamde ‘arabische lente’, was dan ook in landen als Libië en
Syrië, een door de VS gecreëerde ‘lente…’ (nou zeg maar gerust: een zware, ijskoude winter…)
Een
herhaling van wat de VS in 1953 heeft geflikt, door de Iraanse
(destijds nog Perzisch genoemd) democratisch gekozen regering Mossadegh af te zetten
en een VS vriendelijke dictator in het zadel zetten is al zeker geen
oplossing*. Het is dan ook meer dan duidelijk, ook gezien de smerige
oorlog van het soennitische Saoedi-Arabië (met de volledige steun en
deels medewerking van de VS en GB) tegen de sjiitische moslims in Jemen,
dat de strijd van de VS, Israël en Saoedi-Arabië tegen Iran, vooral
een strijd is tegen de sjiieten, waar de VS haar eigen belangen in
het Midden-Oosten wil verstevigen, na het debacle in Syrie, waar de
VS een blauwtje liep met haar (terreur-) tactiek……
De
VS tactiek is het opzetten van een opstand tegen een regering, zoals
in het geval van Syrië, tegen het bewind Assad, een zaak waar de VS al
vanaf 2006 mee bezig was. De VS en Saoedi-Arabië hebben zelfs een
heel groot deel van de ‘gematigde rebellen’ (psychopathische
moordenaars en verkrachters) bewapend en vervoert richting Syrie,
zoals IS en Al Qaida leden vanuit Libie, dat onder VS terreur
(gesteund door de meeste NAVO landen en de NAVO zelf) meer dan 50
jaar in tijd werd teruggebombardeerd en werd veranderd in één grote
chaos, waar nu zelfs openlijk slavenmarkten worden gehouden…..
Libië, het eens rijkste land van Afrika is door ingrijpen van de VS
en een deel van het andere westen, veranderd in één van de armste
landen in Afrika…….
Intussen hebben zich al schotenwisselingen voorgedaan tussen de door het westen genoemde ‘vreedzame demonstranten’ en de politie…… Deze ‘vreedzame demonstranten’ zouden één of meerdere legerdepots hebben geplunderd……. In het nieuws van 12.00 u. op WDR 5 werd gemeld dat (‘vreedzame’, toevoeging Ap) demonstranten politiebureaus overvallen om zo aan meer wapens te komen…..
Iran
– Regime Change Agents Hijack Economic Protests
December
29, 2017
Yesterday
and today saw some small protests in Iran. They are probably the
first stage of a large “regime change” operation run by the
U.S. and Israel with the help of Iranian terrorist group.
Earlier
this month the White House and the Zionist prepared for
a new assault on Iran:
A
delegation led by Israel’s National Security Adviser met with senior
American officials in the White House earlier this month for a joint
discussion on strategy to counter Iran’s aggression in the Middle
East, a senior U.S. official confirmed to Haaretz.
Another
report about the meeting quotes Israeli
officials on the result:
“[T]he
U.S. and Israel see eye to eye the different developments in the
region and especially those that are connected to Iran. We reached at
understandings regarding the strategy and the policy needed to
counter Iran. Our
understandings deal with the overall strategy but also with concrete
goals, way of action and the means which need to be used to get
obtain those goals.“
This is
probably a result of the above meeting:
Hundreds
took to the streets of Iran’s second largest city of Mashad on
Thursday to protest over high prices, shouting slogans against the
government.
Videos
posted on social media showed demonstrators in Mashad in northwest
Iran, one of the holiest places in Shia Islam, chanting “death to
(President Hassan) Rouhani” and “death to the dictator”.
The
semi-official ILNA news agency and social media reported
demonstrations in other cities in Razavi Khorasan Province, including
Neyshabour and Kashmar.
A video of
that protest in Mashad showed some 50 people chanting slogans with
more bystander just milling around.
Protests
against the (neo-) liberal economic policies of the Rohani government
in Iran are justified. Official unemployment in Iran is above 12% and
there is hardly any economic growth. The people in the streets are
not the only ones who are dissatisfied with this:
Iran’s
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has repeatedly criticized
the government’s economic record, said on Wednesday that the nation
was struggling with “high prices, inflation and recession”, and
asked officials to resolve the problems with determination.
On
Thursday and today the slogans of some protesters turned the call for
economic relief into a call for regime change.
My
hunch is that the usual suspects are behind these protests. Note that
these started in several cities at the same time. This was not some
spontaneous local uproar in one city but had some form of
coordination.
Then
there is this:
Carl
Bildt @carlbildt – 9:38
PM – 28 Dec 2017 from
Rome, Lazio
Reports
of signals of international satellite TV networks jammed in large
cities of Iran. Would be sign of regime fear of today’s protests
spreading.
A
search in various languages finds exactly zero such “reports”.
Carl Bildt is a former Swedish prime minister. He was recruited in
1973 as
a CIA
informant and
has since grown into a full blown U.S. asset. He was involved
in the Ukraine coup and
tried to personally profit from it.
The
only response to Bildt’s tweet was from one Riyad
Swed – @SwedRiyad who
posted several videos of protests with one of them showing burning
police cars.**
I
am not sure the video is genuine. The account has some unusual
attributes (active since September 2016, 655 tweets but only 32
followers?).
Just
yesterday one
lecture at
the CCC “hacker” congress was about the British GHCQ Secret
Service and its sock-puppet accounts on Twitter and Facebook. These
are used for acquiring human intelligence and for running “regime
change” operations. Page 14-18 of the slides (11:20 min) cite
from obtained GCHQ papers which lists Iran as one of the targets. The
speaker specifically notes a GCHQ account “@2009Iranfree”
which was used in generating the protests in Iran after the
reelection of then President Ahmedinejad.
Today,
Friday and the weekly day off in Iran, several more protest took
place in other cities. A Reuters reportfrom
today:
About
300 demonstrators gathered in Kermanshah after what Fars called a
“call by the anti-revolution” and
shouted “Political prisoners should be freed” and “Freedom or
death”, while destroying some public property. Fars did not name
any opposition groups.
…
Footage, which could not be
verified, showed protests in other cities including Sari and Rasht in
the north, Qom south of Tehran, and Hamadan in the west.
Mohsen
Nasj Hamadani, deputy security chief in Tehran province, said about
50 people had rallied in a Tehran square and most left after being
asked by police, but a few who refused were “temporarily detained”,
the ILNA news agency reported.
Some
of these protests have genuine economic reasons but get hijacked by
other interests:
In
the central city of Isfahan, a resident said protesters
joined a rally held by factory workers demanding back wages.
“The
slogans quickly changed from the economy to those against (President
Hassan) Rouhani and the Supreme Leader (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei),”
the resident said by telephone.
…
Purely
political protests are rare in Iran […] but demonstrations
are often held by workers over
layoffs or non-payment of salaries and people who hold deposits in
non-regulated, bankrupt financial institutions.
…
Alamolhoda,
the representative of Ayatollah Khamenei in northeastern Mashhad,
said a
few people had taken advantage of Thursday’s protests against
rising prices to chant slogans against Iran’s role in regional
conflicts.
…
“Some
people had came to express their demands, but suddenly,
in a crowd of hundreds, a small group that did not exceed 50 shouted
deviant and horrendous slogans such
as ‘Let go of Palestine’, ‘Not Gaza, not Lebanon, I’d give my
life (only) for Iran’,” Alamolhoda said.
Two videos posted
by BBC Persian and others I have seen show only small active protest
groups with a dozen or so people while many more are just standing by
or film the people who are chanting slogans.
Videos
published by the terrorist
group Mujahedin-e
Khalq [MEK], 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
also show mostly small protests despite the MEK’s claim of Tens
of thousands of people chant “death to dictator”.
The MEK, or its “civilian” organization National Council of
Resistance of Iran , seem to be most involved in the current
protests. Its website is
currently filled with the protest issue with a total of ten reports
and its head figure issued a
supportive statement:
Mrs.
Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, saluted the
heroic people of Kermanshah and other cities who rose up today
chanting “death or freedom”, “death to Rouhani”, “death to
the dictator”, and “political prisoners must be freed”, and
protested against high prices, poverty and corruption.
She
said, “Yesterday Mashhad, today Kermanshah, and tomorrow throughout
Iran; this uprising has tolled the death knell for the overthrow of
the totally corrupt dictatorship of the mullahs, and is the rise of
democracy, justice and popular sovereignty.
This
very early engagement of the MEK -its first
report was
published yesterday at 10:26 am- is extremely suspicious.
In
2012 it was reported that Israel had
used the
MEK terrorist organization to assassinate nuclear scientists in Iran:
On
Thursday, U.S. officials speaking to NBC news claimed that Mossad
agents were training members of the dissident terror group People’s
Mujahedin of Iran in order assassinate Iranian nuclear scientists,
adding that the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama was
aware of the operation, but had no direct link to them.
The
U.S. officials reportedly confirmed the link between Israel and the
People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK), with one official saying: “All
your inclinations are correct.”
In
October a CATO Institute paper analyzed (and
rejected) several options for U.S. handling Iran. Under Option Three:
“Regime
Change from Within”
it noted:
In
this approach, the United States would pressure the Iranian regime
and simultaneously back
groups that oppose it-whether the exiled extremist National Council
of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), pro-democracy
Green Revolution factions, or
ethnic minorities within Iran-a
strategy advocates often compare to Reagan’s support for civil
society groups in the Soviet Union.
…
[A] proponent of
“coerced democratization,” the Foundation for Defense of
Democracies’ Mark Dubowitz, urged President Trump to “go on the
offensive against the Iranian regime” by “weakening
the Iranian regime’s finances” through “massive economic
sanctions,” while also “undermin[ing] Iran’s rulers by
strengthening pro-democracy forces” inside
Iran. This
option appears to be gaining traction in the Trump administration’s
ongoing Iran policy review and has received public support from
Tillerson. CIA Director Mike Pompeo also favored such an approach
during his time in Congress.
The
MEK/NCRI noted that
Senator Tom Cotton, who will likely replace CIA chief Pompeo when
Pompeo moves to the State Department, issued a supportive statement
for the protests.
The
White House and the Netanyahoo regime agreed on a strategy towards
Iran. Major members of the Trump administration are in favor of
“regime change” by “pro-democracy forces” in
Iran. A few weeks after an agreement was found, coordinated economic
protests start in Iran which are soon hijacked by small groups of
very active regime changers. A group of Iranian exile terrorists,
well known for deadly collaboration with Israeli spies as well as for
having operation cells in Iran, is highly engaged in the protest from
very early on.
If
this the “regime change” operation I presume, the protests
will soon get bigger. When the people need money a few thousand
dollars are enough to create a large crowd. Small groups will riot
while hiding within the larger protests of maybe genuinely concerned
people. The “western” media will engage with their usual
pseudo liberal humanism and concern trolling. When the police in Iran
tries to arrest those rioters who are raising havoc the media will
scream “brutality”. Some “martyr” will be created
and iconified. Rumors of censorship and suppression will be raised
(see Carl Bildt above), fake news will come from everywhere and
hundreds of sock puppet Twitter and Facebook accounts will suddenly
be “Iranian” and breathlessly report “from the scene”
of their Langley offices.
For
the Iranian politicians and police the issue is tricky. Economic
protests are clearly justified with even Khameni voicing support for
the issue. But rioting in the streets must be suppressed before it
further escalates and becomes uncontrollable. Weapons on the
protesters site firing in all directions may soon become a problem.
The Mossad and the MEK are not shy of killing random people.
But
the Islamic Republic in Iran has genuine support in large parts of
the society. There are big civil organizations that support the
government – not on every issue but in its general framework. Most
Iranian’s are proud nationalists and will be difficult to divide. If
this is indeed the “regime change” attempt I suspect, I
predict that it will fail.

================================================
* Hier tekst van Wikileaks over Mossadegh: ‘Mohammad Hedayat Mossadeq of Mossadegh was de premier van Iran van 1951 tot 1953. Zijn regering introduceerde een reeks progressieve sociale en politieke hervormingen zoals sociale zekerheid, huurbescherming en landhervormingen‘. Je ziet meteen waarom de VS destijds heeft ingegrepen, immers een regering die kiest voor het volk en niet voor (grote) bedrijven en welgestelden, is automatisch een vijand van de VS (althans als de president, premier of dictator niet een volgzame pion is van de VS, al zullen volgzame pionnen van de VS het wel uit het hoofd laten, bijvoorbeeld landhervormingen of nationalisaties door te voeren….)
