Mir-Hossein Mousavi

I found this clip an amusing way of depicting the fundamental nature of Mir-Hossein Mousavi - the former Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic, who oversaw the execution of tens of thousands of political prisoners in the 1980's, and which the regime has now tried to rebrand as a "reformist" alternative. All these stooges which the regime short-lists for people to vote for in their sham s-elections are regime-loyalists who defend the Islamic Republic and the rotten framework which it's built upon. It's incredibly sad to see that people would genuinely fall for this kind of obvious political charade by the Islamic regime, especially after 8 years of another of the regime's "reformist" projects - namely the smiling mullah Mohammad Khatami - which resulted in further prolonging the terrorist regime's life, more executions, arrests, and torture of Iranian pro-democracy activists all under the guise of the smiling "reformist" mullah who had hypnotized liberal western media-outlets.

Boycott the terrorist AhmadiNejad's speech at Columbia University!

Boycott Ahmadinejad

September 21, 2007
The Weekly Standard
William Kristol


Let the Iranian president (and the Columbia president) speak to a sea of empty seats.

A Columbia student asked how he could effectively protest his university's invitation to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak Monday. My first response was to suggest petitions, e-mails to President Bollinger and the university trustees, letters to the student paper, peaceful protest, and the like. All these are fine. But then I had a second thought. There might be one form of protest that would be effective both in showing appropriate disgust for the Iranian regime, and in shaming the Columbia administration: A total student boycott of Ahmadinejad's speech. Let the Iranian president (and the Columbia president) look out on, and speak to, a sea of empty seats on Monday.

The rationale for a student boycott is simple: The Iranian government is directly involved in killing and wounding American soldiers in Iraq. As a gesture of elementary solidarity with those serving our nation in the military--young men and women, many of them their exact contemporaries--Columbia students should refuse to dignify Ahmadinejad's talk by attending it. Needless to say, Columbia faculty and administrators shouldn't attend either. Some of them will. But this is a chance for the 9/11 generation to show a decency and a sense of honor that some of their elders lack. After all, this is not primarily about Ahmadinejad. Dealing with his regime is mostly a task for our government. This is about us. Columbia students have a chance to shame their elders, redeem the good name of their institution, and make many Americans proud. I urge them to take it.

Occupational Islamic Republic set to destroy yet another Iranian cultural heritage site

More news about the occupational Islamic Republic's campaign to destroy Iranian cultural heritage sites is being reported by the respected CAIS institute (Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies). The tomb of the great Iranian nationalist - Pirooz Nahavandi - is set to be destroyed after a request by Arabs from the "International Union for Muslim Scholars"! Pirooz Nahavandi is the person who was enslaved under the Arab occupation of Persia and who witnessed the destruction that the Arabo-Muslims were bringing upon his country and people. Pirooz bravely sacrificed his life as he put to death the second Arab Caliph (Umar Al-Khattab) in 645 AD. "Abu Lolo" is the Arabic name given to this Iranian freedom fighter whose actual name was Pirooz Nahavandi.

The occupational Islamic Republic has given order for the destruction of this great Iranian historical figures shrine which has led to a large crowd of Iranians, who are aware of their cultural/historical heritage and who are not brainwashed, gathering outside the governor's office in Kashan to protest this systematic destruction of Iranian cultural heritage by the Islamic Republic which has been carried out ever since its inception - this is nothing but cultural genocide which has been a policy of the occupational Islamic Republic since day one with the intention to impose a non-Iranian/anti-Iranian Islamic history/culture in its place.

More clashes between Iranian students and Islamist thugs

In this clip which I can only at this time presume been recorded on a university campus in Iran (date unknown) you can hear students chanting: "UNITY! UNITY! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! SUPPORT US! SUPPORT US!", you can see that the atmosphere is very tense and a fight erupts between Iranian students and Islamist thugs - the body of an individual is seen being carried away by a group of people.



As soon as I get more information regarding this clip I'll post it on here. Again please give exposure to these documents and evidence that testify to the growing and intensifying democracy-movement in Iran which is becoming more and more determined in its aim to remove this occupational Islamist dictatorship and bringing freedom to Iran.

As human beings we all need to support these students who are standing up against Islamic tyranny, whether we are Iranian or not!

A Question of Numbers

Many European/American liberals/leftists and Iranian leftists/Islamists shamelessly continue to this day to propagate and justify their actions that brought the Islamic Republic to power on the horrendously exaggerated propaganda claims which the below article exposes so well. The figures in this article were the result of a comprehensive study by a former Islamist who was commissioned by the Islamic Republic to document the numbers that were executed or killed in street clashes with government forces under the late Shah - not only will those of you who read this article be shocked about the numbers (compared to grossly exaggerated propaganda) that were executed/killed but also the nature of these "innocent freedom activists" who were waging a civil war against the Iranian government and threatening the national integrity of Iran - particularly the Communists who were successful in establish two short-lived Soviet puppet Republics in northern Iran which were swiftly crushed by the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces. These were NOT un-armed civilians that you will find in Iran today, such as the women's movement, student's movement and workers movement who demand that their human rights be respected! I have two more excellent articles that deal with these "innocent freedom activists" which will be posted in the next few days. After reading these articles you should be able to understand the realities and atmosphere of that era much better.


A Question of Numbers

August 08, 2003

Rumours, exaggerated claims by the leaders of the Islamic revolution and a disinformation campaign against the fallen monarchy, not to mention Western media reports that the imperial regime was guilty of "mass murders", has finally been challenged by a former researcher at the Martyrs Foundation (Bonyad Shahid). The findings by Emad al-Din Baghi, now a respected historian, has caused a stir in the Islamic republic for it boldly questions the true number of casualties suffered by the anti-Shah movement between 1963 and 1979.

In the aftermath of the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty in 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic revolution, ordered the creation of the Martyrs Foundation with the sole purpose of identifying the names of the so-called "martyrs" and provide financial support for their families as well as those who had sustained injuries in the fierce street battles with royalist troops. The necessary funds were immediately raised from the assets seized from the high officials in the Shah's regime, many of whom had been executed after summary trials.

For many years the Martyrs Foundation collected the names of the victims of the anti-Shah revolution classifying them by age, sex, education, profession and address. The files were kept secret until 1996/7 when a decision was made to make public the figures on the anniversary of the revolution. At about this time, Emad al-Dib Baghi, was hired as a researcher and editor of the bonyad's magazine "Yad Yaran" (Remembering our Comrades) to make sense of the data. By the time his work had finished he was told that the names were not to be made public. The reason given was that to pursue the matter would run contrary to the statements made by the late Ayatollah Khomeini and his successors who claimed that "60,000 men, women and children were martyred by the Shah's regime."

Emad al-Din Baghi who left the Martyrs Foundation to write two books on the subject claims that the authorities felt that releasing the true statistics would simply confuse the public. So, officials continued to stick to the exaggerated numbers. During a debate in the Majlis at the height of the US hostage crisis, an Islamic deputy claimed that giving in to America would be an insult to the memory of "70,000 martyrs and 100,000 wounded who fought to destroy the rotten monarchy." In fact, by continuing the myth that so many people had been killed, the regime was able to buy a certain legitimacy for its "noble revolution" and excesses.

"Sooner or later the truth was bound to come out," Baghi argued. In his opinion history should be based on objective findings and not baseless rumours which was the root of the anti-Shah hysteria and street demonstrations in 1978 and 1979. The true numbers are fascinating because contrary to the official view they are quite low and highly disproportionate to the hundreds of thousands murdered in the last 24 years in the Islamic republic.

The statistical breakdown of victims covering the period from 1963 to 1979 adds up to a figure of 3,164. Of this figure 2,781 were killed in nation wide disturbances in 1978/79 following clashes between demonstrators and the Shah's army and security forces. Baghi has no reason to doubt these figures and believes that it is probably the most comprehensive number available with the possible exception of a few names that were not traced.

During the years separating the arrest of Khomeini on 5th June 1963 for instigating the riots against the Shah's White Revolution and his return from exile on 1st February 1979, most of the 3,164 victims were in Tehran, Rey and Shemiran and 731 were killed in riots in the provinces which constitutes 14% of the country. Most of the casualties were in central Tehran and the poorer southern areas. Of this number 32 "martyrs" belong to the 1963 riots who were killed in 19 different parts of the Iranian capital. All were male and from southern Tehran.

Despite this revelation all officially sanctioned books in Iran dealing with the history of the Islamic revolution write of "15,000 dead and wounded". Such wild figures have found its way in Western accounts.

Another myth is the number of those killed on Friday, 8th September 1978 in the infamous Jaleh Square massacre. On that day the Iranian government imposed martial law in Tehran after troops had fired at several thousand anti-government demonstrators in the capital. The opposition and Western journalists claimed that the massacre left between 95 and 3,000 dead, depending on widely varying estimates. Historians agree that the bloody incident was to be a crucial turning point in the revolution. Baghi refutes those numbers as "grossly inflated."

The figures published by Baghi speaks of 64 killed among them two females – one woman and a young girl. On the same day in other parts of the capital a total of 24 people died in clashes with martial law forces among them one female. Therefore, according to Baghi, the number of people "martyred" on Black Friday is 88 of which 64 were gunned down in Jaleh Square. These statistics are closer to the figures announced by Dr Ameli Tehrani (executed by the revolutionaries) who served in Prime Minister Sharif Emami's government. The Shah's officials repeatedly spoke of 86 people dead and 205 wounded in clashes.

But at the time nobody in Iran was prepared to believe the government version, says Baghi, himself an ardent revolutionary in those troubled days. Instead rumours turned into facts and made headlines further weakening the Shah's crumbling regime. Opposition leaders quoted figures as high as "tens of thousands" and agitators spread stories that soldiers had fired on the people from helicopters piloted by Israelis. Michel Focault, a leading French journalist, who covered the Jaleh Square wrote of "2,000 to 3,000 victims" and later increased the figures to "4,000 people killed" adding that the demonstrators had no fear of death.

The number of non-Muslims who died for the revolution was deemed by the Martyrs Foundation as "too insignificant" to be included in the list. Many of them were die-hard Marxist guerrillas who had fought running battles with the Shah's secret police known as Savak. In the 1970s the Shah's regime faced many threats from so-called Islamic-Marxist terrorists who carried out assassinations of top officials, kidnappings, bank thefts and bomb attacks on cinemas. Savak was given special powers to deal with this "terrorist" threat and appeared successfully ruthless in its "dirty war." Savak's crude brutality received a lot of criticism in the West. Amnesty International reported cases of illegal detention and torture.

But how many were killed? Baghi is methodical in the way he states numbers. Firstly, he claims that the total number of guerrillas killed between the 1971 Siahkal incident during which armed Marxists attacked a police station in a Caspian village and the February 1979 insurrection is 341.

The figure 341 is made up of 177 persons killed in shoot-outs with the Shah's security forces; 91 were executed for "anti-state activities"; 42 died under torture; 15 were arrested and "disappeared", 7 committed suicide rather than be captured, and 9 were shot while escaping. From among the guerrilla groups who died fighting the imperial regime the Marxist Fedayeen Khalq organisation suffered the highest losses. From the total figure of 341 killed, 172 were Fedayeens (50%); 73 Mujaheddin Khalq (21%); 38 fringe communists (11%); 30 Mujaheddin marxists before changing their ideology to Islamic (9%) and 28 Islamists (8%).

For completion sake, Baghi has added 5 other names to his long list. Four of them (Sadeq Amani, Reza Safar Herandi, Mohammad Bokharaie and Morteza Niknejad) were executed by firing squad after a military tribunal found them guilty of assassinating Prime Minister Mansour in 1965. The fifth name belonged to Reza Shams Abadi, a member of the Imperial Guard, who opened fire on the Shah as he came out of his limousine at the Marble Palace. The assassin was shot down by the king's bodyguards. By adding these five names to the 341 we get the figure of 346 non-demonstrators killed between 1963 and 1979.

In addition to the 32 demonstrators killed in the June 1963 pro-Khomeini riots two other persons were shot dead in the following weeks in an undisclosed part of Tehran. On 2nd November 1963 a certain Mohammad Ismail Rezaie was murdered in jail and on the same day Haj Mohammad Reza Teyb was shot by firing squad at the Heshmatiyeh army barracks.

The mysterious death of the famous wrestler Gholam Reza Takhti in 1967 was attributed to Savak but Baghi has established that Takhti committed suicide. Unfortunately, Baghi makes no mention of the Islamic philosopher Ali Shariati and the Imam's eldest son, Mustapha Khomeini. Both died of heart attacks in London and Najaf respectively. At the time of their deaths there were many rumours that they had been eliminated by Savak agents but subsequent evidence proves the opposite. Nevertheless, the negative effect on public opinion was tremendous and played a major role in eroding support for the Shah's regime.

In any case, by adding Takhti's name the total of those killed for underground action against the Shah's regime comes to 383 which added to the 2,781 "martyrs" would mean that 3,164 Iranians lost their lives in the revolution against the monarchy and not 60,000 as the Imam had stated. In time, other historians may take up the task of finding the truth about the countless people executed or eliminated during the brutal 24 years rule of the mullahs. But that will only be possible in a free Iran and the findings may prove to be a greater shock.

Islamist police shoot to kill in Tabriz!

I'd like to bring yet another heinous crime of the terrorist Islamic Republic occupying Iran to your attention and underscore that these atrocities occur on a daily bases, yet nothing is ever mentioned by the main-stream-media who prefer a game of deception in trying to portray "moderate/reformist elements" in a regime which knows nothing about being moderate. This anti-Iranian Islamist regime cannot even hold a civilized dialouge with the people it (illegitimately) rules over yet pursues a "Dialouge amongst Civilizations" through the United Nations with European countries who are more than happy to pursue such farcical processes which only end up in lucrative trade agreements in their favour!!!!

A few days ago, in the north-western city of Tabriz, two Iranian boys were confronted by an Islamic morality security guard of the Islamic regime over "un-Islamic" music that the boys were listening to in their car. In pure Taliban fashion the Islamic morality police ends up shooting one of the boys and arresting the other - the wounded boy who lost a lot of blood, sustained from his wounds, is in critical condition and hospitalized. These are some very disturbing pictures especially knowing the bizarre situation which led to these Islamist animals shooting an Iranian boy! Please give international coverage to this horrific event!






My fellow blogger friend City Boy has an entry regarding this as well which is worth reading.

Also yesterday I watched a VOA program in which a certain Mr Pourzal from an IRI lobbyist group called CASMII (Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran) appeared as a panel member on the daily roundtable programme. This shameless person proceeded in questioning the moderator (Mr Farhoodi) why VOA does not cover police brutality in Turkey as a means of justifying the recent intensified repression in Iran by the Islamic Republic when asked about that topic!! This shameless individual proceeded to condemn the late modern and progressive government of the late Shah of Iran and claimed that the terrorist Islamic Republic is a much more democratic and better place than the former!! The lies of this terrorist lobbyist are too numerous and outrageous to be listed in one entry but I simply want to highlight that such individuals and "anti-war groups" are trying hard to influence public opinion and white wash the Mullah's savage atrocities!

Iranian woman being beaten by Islamists

Another video showing an Iranian woman being beaten/arrested by Islamists for not complying with the imposed Islamic dresscode; the savage Islamist kicks her into the police-car because a muslim is not supposed to touch a non-related female! Despite this there are numerous reports of these animals raping and torturing women in the most horrible ways.

Video of Iranian woman being arrested by Islamists

I'd like to reproduce one of Winston's posts on the Islamic Republic's crack down on Iranian women who do not comply with the Islamic dress code:

"A blurry but shocking video taken in Tehran yesterday by a pedestrian showing a woman being taken away by moral police during the recent crackdown on women's dress code and the un-identified woman is yelling and crying for help and saying she doesn't want to be taken into custody."

Islamic Regime sets loose its female Islamists...

Every year the Islamic Republic cracks down on Iranian females who are deemed to be breaching the Islamic dress-codes. This year the Islamic Republic has set loose it's female Islamists who Iranians know by the names of "Khaharane Zeinab" (Sisters of Zeinab), "Fati Kommando's" (Commando's of Fatemeh Zahra), or simply put "Hezbollahi's" (Members of Hezbollah). These creatures are loathed and are known for their extreme brutality against Iranian women. They are recognized by the all-enveloping black Islamic garment known as the "chador". Most Iranian women cannot even believe that these creatures are Iranians and some say that many of them actually aren't Iranians - which wouldn't come as a surprise since the Islamic Republic uses Arab and Afghan mercenaries when it needs to crackdown on freedom and democracy activists.

More in regards to the Islamic dresscode - when the Islamists first overtook the country in 1979 they would go around spraying acid on Iranian women's faces and use razor blades on their lips...

In addition to setting these animals loose the regime is also tightening dress-restrictions on Iranian males who are being arrested for wearing short-sleeved shirts and "un-Islamic" hairdo's. Male university students wearing shorts in their own dormitories are also being arrested and fined. Shorts are outlawed in the Islamic Republic as they are seen as un-Islamic.

The whole situation is unreal knowing that we are in the 21st century...and knowing that only 28 years ago Iranian women, during the Pahlavi Era, were free to dress AS THEY PLEASED is just mind-boggling to witness what low point these Islamists have taken our country...

Here are some pictures of what is happening on the streets of Iran these days:

France' support of Islamic Fundamentalists in 1979

Valéry Giscard d’Estaing - President of the French Republic from 1974-1981

In addition to the entries i've had on U.S. involvement in the creation of the terrorist Islamic Republic occupying Iran - credit goes to the Carter Administration here - I recently came across this entry by a fellow blogger discussing the "French Connection" leading to the success of the Islamist Coup D'ètat of 1979: "France and the Iranian Revolution"

Arrest Mullah Khatami on charges of crimes against humanity!


Two Iranian exiles, who were tortured by Mullah Khatami's and the Islamic Republic's mercenery forces have demanded that Sir Ian Blair, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, arrest Mullah Khatami on charges of commiting torture under section 134 of the Criminal Justice Act.

Mullah Khatami is scheduled to receive an honorary doctorate in law (!) from the Mullah-appeasing/Terrorist-Supporting St Andrews University in Britain this week starting october 30.

A particulary disgusting character Dr Ali Ansari, has endorsed Mullah Khatami by outright lying without any shame (similar to Siamak Zand's interview on VOA! although that one took the grand prize!) and saying:

...the award recognised Mr Khatami's intellectual and practical work to improve relations between Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities.

Dr Ansari said the award also recognised Mr Khatami's academic work on Islamic philosophy and the west and "the clear international message he sends of dialogue between civilisations".

"In an otherwise tense international situation he does offer an alternative"

The only civilization that Mullah Khatami understands is the Islamic one which promotes hate, backwardness, oppression, death, and destruction!

Ladies and gentlemen, we do not have shortage of people who are willing to sell their mothers and even country for even the minuscule of profit; why otherwise would these characters go out of their way in appeasing these terrorists!? These times are indeed a shameful mark in the history of our nation - we need to work with great deal of effort and in unity to replace the anti-Iranian terrorist Islamic Republic with a patriotic Iranian government by the people for the people! These characters are the last hope for an already dead regime which is waiting for its burial! Do not let them make this mark of shame bigger than it already is!

Without ANY shame!!!


Well just recently I viewed and read some really BLOOD-BOILING material by three shameless ENEMY's of the Iranian Nation! How someone can have the audacity to belittle the Iranian Nation and defend its oppressors in such a manner is really beyond me - how they can be so shameless is beyond me. These low-life individuals would sell their mothers just to make a profit. They've sold their souls to the devil and will pay for it.

They are:

SIAMAK ZAND - CBS / Sky News producer in Tehran; Islamic Republic's mouthpiece on western media stations - denies gross human rights by the Islamists and promotes a democratic picture of the terrorists occupying Iran.

KAVEH L. AFRASIABI - "Political Analyst" a.k.a "Political Prostitute" and Associate/Friend of the terrorist Islamic Republic's former President, Mullah Khatami!

HOSSEIN DERAKHSHAN - Idiot Blogger and Crypto-Islamist Supporter who'se become a darling to the leftist media! He's compared Iranian freedom activists to Guantanamo Bay TERRORISTS on his blog! He's also referred to some of the most radical elements of the Islamic Republic who have Iranian blood on their hands as "reformists"! He's a useful idiot that the Mullah's use from time to time!

Why has my blood come to boil because of these three SCUM in the past 48 hrs (besides the above-mentioned FACTS)! Just have a look at the below links:

Painting exhibition of a young woman on death row

Iran Press News: Delara Darabi’s painting exhibition entitled “The prisoner of colors" opened in Tehran. Delara is one of the young women who is on death row in Iran. The poster announcing her exhibition depicts one of her paintings. The text of the poster reads:

"Do you know what the prisoner of colors mean? It means that when I was four, I had broken down my life by colors; at 17, I lost them. I mistook deep Red for blue lapis. Instead of sky blue, I painted gray. I lost the colors and now the only silhouette I see everyday is the [prison] wall. I am Delara Darabi, 20 years of age, accused of murder, sentenced to death; it has been 3 years that I defend myself with colors, shapes and words...These paintings are an oath to an uncommitted crime...would that colors were to bring me back to life again. I send you who have come to see my paintings, greetings from behind these walls.”

Islamists Hurl Petrol Bombs at Danish Mission in Iran


What a coincidence that a HANDFUL of club-wielding muslim thugs (who themselves work for the Islamist Republic) is quick to gather the complete attention of the western press but when THOUSANDS of Iranians come out, putting their lives at danger, protesting against the savage Islamist Republic one would be extremely lucky to hear any MENTIONING of it on Al-Reuters! AP! The Guardian! CNN! CNBC! SkyNews!.....

Protesters Hurl Petrol Bombs at Danish Mission in Iran

October 10, 2006
Reuters
today.reuters.co.uk


TEHRAN -- Dozens of protesters pelted the Danish embassy in Tehran with stones and petrol bombs on Tuesday after Danish television broadcast footage deemed insulting to the Muslim Prophet Mohammad, witnesses said.

Denmark's state TV aired footage on Friday of a number of members of the youth wing of the anti-immigrant Danish People's Party (DPP) drawing cartoons in August mocking the Prophet. Iran condemned the broadcast.

Reuters witnesses said protesters hurled stones and petrol bombs into the embassy compound. The crowd chanted "Down with Zionists" and "God praise the party of God".

Riot police guarded the embassy and two fire trucks stood nearby. Firefighters extinguished a tyre which was set alight next to the embassy compound wall, the witnesses said.

Denmark's ambassador to Tehran was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Monday to complain about the video clips, which follow cartoons published in the Danish press last year that sparked outrage in the Islamic world.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has condemned those who made such insults as "low life".

In September last year Danish daily Jyllands-Posten printed cartoons, including one showing the Prophet with a bomb in his turban.

Those cartoons sparked protests across the Middle East, including Iran where protesters also pelted the embassy with stones and petrol bombs.

Some 232 lawmakers from Iran's 290-seat parliament urged Ahmadinejad on Tuesday to cut Iran's trade ties with Denmark over the latest footage, the semi-official Mehr News Agency reported.

"The past attempts of the Danish government regarding this insult (to the Prophet) have been repeated, this time, by the visual media," Mehr reported.

"Since this is not tolerable, we call for cutting the economic ties to Denmark and if continued, cutting the political ties," the lawmakers said.
