Women have a lot more rights in Iran then they do in Saudi Arabia. In Iran women are encouraged to go to university and when they wear their hijab they rock it back slightly so a touch of hair is showing. My Syrian neighbors would never do that. They wear their hijab so it completely covers all their hair in a very devote manner. After all, they are in Canada and they don't have to wear hijabs but they choose to do so because it is part of their religion just like Sikh men wear turbans and Jewish men wear hats. I believe in the freedom of religion.
I'm not a fan of Islamic States or any other state religion. However, if we embrace the Jewish State in Israel then we are forced to embrace the Islamic State in Iran. After all, MI6 and the CIA put it there. Regime changes are always problematic and the CIA always has a motive. The CIAs motive is never good. They are masters of lies and deception.
I did not support Donald Trump's position on Iran. He relied too heavily on his intel from the CIA which was tainted. The CIA were the ones promoting Joe Biden and fixing elections in Arizona. Believing anything they say is inherently insane. Previously I reported that "Instagram and Facebook says it's removing posts supporting Soleimani to comply with US sanctions."
"They fought for the Iranian revolution – and then for Saddam Hussein. The US and UK once condemned them. But now their opposition to Tehran has made them favourites of Trump White House hardliners. For almost two decades, under their embittered leader Massoud Rajavi, the MEK staged attacks against civilian and military targets across the border in Iran and helped Saddam suppress his own domestic enemies. But after siding with Saddam – who indiscriminately bombed Iranian cities and routinely used chemical weapons in a war that cost a million lives – the MEK lost nearly all the support it had retained inside Iran. Members were now widely regarded as traitors. Rajavi has not been seen since 2003 – most analysts assume he is dead – but under the leadership of his wife, Maryam Rajavi, the MEK has won considerable support from sections of the US and European right, eager for allies in the fight against Tehran."
Heavy sigh. The CIA launched a new campaign demonizing Iran after they started releasing oil reserves to lower the price of oil and ease the European energy crisis. We cannot oppose the clerical regime in Iran without also opposing the clerical regime in Saudi Arabia and Israel.
A well thought out and an independently informed post. I’m grateful to read some people do their own research before believing in anything the mainstream media says. Which as we know are typically lies or spoon fed crap from communist supporters.
ReplyDeleteAs Dennis says no lie can live forever and darkness will one day see the light.
Yeah Bolton and Pompeo are both trash.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. John Brennan is even worse. The common denominator is the CIA.
DeleteThe MEK had major problems after Saddam was captured and executed. They occupied Camp Ashraf north of Baghdad for years, but with the new Shi'a government in Iraq having close ties to the Iranians, we can see how there was pressure from Iran for the Iraqi's to give them revenge on this group. The MEK were armed to the teeth up to an including heavy weapons and did not want to leave Camp Ashraf. When they resisted, the Iraqi Army went in and killed 150 or so of them, the figure we were given at the time. My PSD team took State Dept. people up there in 2013 to tell them they did not have US support for staying at that location and that they would have to all move to "a new camp south of Baghdad". Far south of Baghdad actually, Camp Liberty was a lot closer to Basra, ha ha. One of the more potentially dangerous missions I ran on in 4 years there, MEK still had weapons and did not want to leave. Your characterization of them as a cult is completely correct. There was speculation of mass suicides, etc.. The State Dept. people we took up there were scared stiff. There were members in their late 20's and early 30's who had been born on Ashraf and never left their entire lives. Many who wanted to leave were murdered.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I read now they apparently wound up in Albania of all places, but there was talk at the time of how valuable they could be to Israel and it's ongoing campaign against the Iranian Nuke program. Recall that numerous Iranian scientists have been assassinated inside Iran, in one case two guys on a motorbike rode up and attached a magnet equipped device to the target vehicle's roof before driving quickly away. Never caught. The Mossad likely has a shortage of operatives who can pass as native Iranian, these guys not only can but are extensively trained for such operations, lived it all their lives. And of course from the Israeli POV they are expendable.
Yeah, imagine how a guy who admits to voting Communist ever gets a security clearance to begin with, never mind becomes the Director. I guess it was seen as a plus. Wouldn't have seemed to have made sense then, these days it looks like prescience. Trump has promised to gut the so-called leadership of both the CIA and the FBI if he is re-elected. Let's hope.
ReplyDeleteI protest the US military in the straight of Hormuz.
