IranWire,Twitter,assorted others | Feb. 3, 2018

Posted on 02/03/2018 5:45:43 PM PST by nuconvert

Feb. is the Iranian regime's celebration of "The Revolution". Protesters have taken to the streets to call for the end of the regime and death to Khamenei. They are tearing down posters & banners celebrating the Revolution and burning them. The protests are happening in cities throughout the country. The women are still taking off their head scarves in protest and being arrested.

Just because the media doesn't report it, doesn't mean it isn't happening.

There are many photos & videos on Twitter @iranprotests, and #iranprotests

Its like Russia on verge of revolution.

When people lose their fear of a totalitarian regime, its finished.

Iran will win its freedom fron the mullahs.

Perhaps they are going low tech to overcome the Iranian “Net Neutrality”

Good news!

Just because the media doesn't report it, doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Workers strikes are happening in different cities in Iran.
The value of the rial has dropped to 48,000 = $1

Have you seen this video of the elderly woman with the cane climbing up onto the fountain & taking her head scarf off & waving it?

Heartbreaking. I don’t think it was really given the attention it deserved by the msm at the time.

So they said in 2009, alas. Hope it happens for real this time, though.

I remember the aol discussion boards months after, among Chinese on both sides, many blaming the students. I wrote a long poem and distributed it on June 4 in subsequent years in front of the Chinese Consulate in NYC, across the street from the Intrepid. But this song hits me right between the eyes, as if it happened yesterday.

Kent State, shment state. These Ayatollahs kill only four on quiet days. It’s like a continuing Tien An Men massacre, carried out in increments. In 2009, I remember seeing a pic of an infant cut open with scimitar lying in the street. These MFers have got to get theirs, and soon.

For reference:
U.S. dollar exchanged at 71.46 rials in 1978(the last year of the Shah) and 9430 rials in 1999.
In 2015 it was 30,000. Now it’s 48,000

Next Jan. will be 40 years since Shah left Iran. Maybe all this will lead up to a new anniversary for the Iranian people to celebrate - the demise of the IRI.
