Iran's mullahs begin to move billions from their collapsing 'New Slavery' country
American Thinker ^ | 10/28/2019 | Hassan Mahmoudi

In Iran, Eshaq Jahangiri Kouhshahi, the first vice president of the President Hassan Rouhani's regime, said on Oct. 22 that $22 billion of the country's resources were taken to Istanbul and Dubai under the pretext of increasing the value of the country's troubled rial currency. However, the miserable dollar price of the rial was not reduced from the act, and the $22 billion was not returned to the country. Something else was going on.

Iran is facing unprecedented economic instability, a horrifying nightmare, along with corruption, embezzlement, and looting. It's institutionalized, so what we can infer from this is that the authorities fear the future. The direct consequences of these embezzlements have affected the lives of Iranian people, as follows:

Children are literally roaming the streets in search of anything to help them survive. They're even eating from the trash dumps. Under the mullahs’ regime, one of the most heartbreaking social issues is children, and everyone knows that their poverty is the consequence of the unbridled theft and corruption of the ruling elites throughout the country. The regime’s own media outlets are using terms such as “New Slavery” for this atrocity.

Unrest is everywhere now. Recently, employees of the Azarab factory in the city of Arak, western Iran, launched a demonstration on Monday, Oct. 14, protesting poor working conditions in their factory. These New Slavery workers are protesting officials’ plots to privatize the company with their jobs remaining in limbo and their living conditions poor.

Last week a number of miners were killed and injured following a disastrous accident in the Saman Kavosh mine near the city of Tabas located in northeast Iran. This incident took place on Thursday, Oct. 17, and the dead bodies of two workers were pulled out of the rubble

A sad situation, and experience has shown that the leaders of these corrupt regimes will let the entire population perish before giving up one iota of power. And under such circumstances, raw sustenance is a more powerful motive than money for maintaining power and inducing others to serve them.

Look at the democrat party members taking bribe after bribe from our enemies. The EU “elites” the same. PLO Arafat who had over $2 billion in French banks. No surprise that the Iranians leaders are stealing money.

I guess the iranians need to think hard about “Give me Liberty or give me death”. It is up to them. It is their country.

Insiders always loot the treasury just before the country fails. Just look no further than Washington DC.

This report leaves one to wonder just exactly what the Mullahs did with the $150-billion that Obama flew into the country under the cover of darkness. It is seems that none of it went to better the living conditions of the Iranian people.

When is the last time Mr. Mahmoodie has been to L.A. Or San Francisco...Portland...Seattle....

It’s their country and their fathers and grandfathers brought this upon them. Until they’re pulling the Biisaji (sp) off their motorbikes and beating them to death in the streets, and until government offices or facilities are stormed and blown up or burned to the ground, they’re not going to spark a resistance strong enough to overthrow the mullahs

Check the serial numbers on those bills. I’m pretty sure much of that money arrived on pallets flown in from the USA several years ago...

I would be curious what they meant by ‘resources’. Probably gold, silver, and foreign currency.

I talked to an Iranian around two years ago, who’d left the country. He said that most businessmen were taking what profit they were making...converting it into dollars, Euro or Dubai-cash, and moving into the Dubai market to either store or invest into something there. No cash, since 2010, has been put back into the Iranian banking system. Most everyone expects it to rapidly fail.

So I asked...then what? He figured that the Mullahs would be run out and the Army would take over. Then the cash would float back into Iran, and some massive recovery period would start up. I thought it was wishful thinking.
