Anyone check out the incredible protests in Iran over the weekend ?

The only word I can adequately use to describe what is going on in Iran right now is COURAGE.

The mullahs are clearly on borrowed time, so one has to wonder what kind of apocalyptic finish they have in mind should they lose control of the situation.

It would seem we are fast approaching that moment it would appear :

Here the police are begging for mercy :



A description posted with the video :

People have cornered these security forces. People ask them ‘why do you do this to your people?’ and the riot guards ask for forgiveness, ‘Bebakhshid’ they can be heard to say.

‘You are Yazid’s - the Khalif against whom the Ashura uprising took place -forces’, the woman shouts at them. One of the protesters then reassures them that they will not be beaten up, all they have to do is say Khameneii is a bastard. The woman can then be heard saying ‘All you can do is kill your people is it?’ and again they plead saying ‘Please We are not killers’.

The sooner they join the people, the sooner they will redeem themselves with the people of Iran.

Here a very large group of protesters shout "death to the regime" and other chants against the mullahs and their brutal theocracy :



Translation posted
:

People are chanting: “the coup government is the murderer of Neda”, “Khamenei is a murderer, his leadership in annulled”, “rape, crime, death to this regime”, “rape in prison, was that in the Quran also?!”, “It’s a day of mourning, The Green nation of Iran is mourning today”…

Any of you on Facebook can take a look at some phenomenal photos of the protests here :

When we all discussed this topic a while back during the elections and the ensuing protests with the barbarity by the Iranian regime that followed- I said this was far from over, even after the horrendous 'crack down' that was forced on these people. This desire to change (particularly with young students) has been going on for years inside Iran, particularly with their massive demographic of urban young people. I don't think it's about to stop any time soon, particularly after what happened over the summer. The Iranian regime made a really bad miscalculation many years ago when they promoted the idea of Iranian people having extra children (they wanted more future soldiers during the Iran/Iraq war) and this idea of having as many of them as possible being educated. They never realised that so many of them would have access to the internet or want to think for themselves (because they are educated) during this era we are in now. They also seemed to have forgotten that Iranians aren't stupid- Iran's (or Persia's) a very complex and old society in itself. It's not some third world 'backwater' where most people are just subsistence farming to stay alive- and thus easy to control in regard to information. The cosmopolitan Iranians are generally pretty sophisticated and many are educated.

I completely agree with you Sean- the protesters are INCREDIBLY brave. I have the utmost respect for them and what they are doing. Some of the Youtube videos these people were putting up over the summer, during the 'crackdown', chilled my blood to the bone. Protesting students we're even being gunned down inside their own universities in Tehran. I saw many of the actual videos on the net- including many of the ones that weren't always shown on the news. It was brutal. But they still kept trying to get these videos up- to show the world what was going on inside Iran.

Changes inside that country may not happen very soon because of all this- but it's my belief that the genie is out of the bottle now. The harder they hit those people - who want change - the more determined those people are going to become in their desire to seek change. The tragedy is I think a lot more bloodshed is going to be spilled inside Iran before we see much of a difference with their current regime, at least presently.

MMM the project I'm currently working on for the Saudi Airforce is a success, we are bombing the Iranian sponsered Houthi on the Yemeni border, can't get the aircraft out quick enough so they can use the new laser designator.....woop woop.

Is this something new since the failed airline bombing on Christmas day, or has it been in the works for awhile, Red?

Just another excuse to justify a tribal people being bombed by 21st power.
