It’s an amazing story, largely ignored.
The story involves the ongoing insurrection against the
mullahs in Iran. When the Iranian government announced a spike in gasoline taxes, the nation erupted in protest. Clearly, the Trump administration pullout from the Iran nuclear deal and the reimposition of sanctions against the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism were working. Therefore, no one wants to talk about it.
You recall well that the Obama administration, along with its
satraps in France and Germany, threw its lot in with the Iranian regime. Even
at the expense of relationships with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel.
So, now, while the foreign policy left is horrified over the
fate of Jamal Khashoggi, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard corps is shooting
protesters on the streets. And no one cares. It’s 2009 all over again.
Legal Insurrection blog (via Maggie’s Farm) brings us the
report from a German newspaper. American newspapers an media outlets have had
little to say.
The
Iranian regime is using snipers and helicopter gunships to quell anti-regime
protests, the media reports disclosed. People witnessed pro-regime
sharpshooters firing at unarmed demonstrators, German newspaper Bild reported.
“Verified
video footage show snipers shooting at people from rooftops,” the
newspaper confirmed.
“In at least one instance, a helicopter had been used for the shooting.”
“Verified
video footage, eyewitness reports and information from activists outside Iran
reveal a horrific pattern of illegal killings by the security forces,” the
German daily added.
As for the geopolitics, the blog analyzes it thusly:
In the
ongoing standoff between the White House and the Iranian regime, the European
Union and Democratic Party have sided with the Mullah of Iran.
German
Chancellor Angela Merkel is instrumental in creating the EU-Iran trade
mechanism, a payment system that allows European governments and
businesses to keep trading with Iran by bypassing of U.S. sanctions. French
President Emmanuel Macron has offered $15
billion in credit to Tehran to save the fledgling regime.
Closer
to home, former Secretary of State John Kerry has reportedly been busy advising the
Iranian regime on how to maneuver around the current U.S. policy. Almost
all Democratic candidates are in favor of restoring the Obama-era deal with
Iran.
Democratic
frontrunner Joe Biden has accused President
Trump of “walking away from diplomacy” by pulling out of the deal with the
Islamic regime that guns down its own people in broad daylight and fiances
jihad terrorism worldwide.
Bernie
Sanders declared he
“would re-enter the agreement on day one of my presidency.” Elizabeth Warren,
Pete Buttigieg, and Kamala Harris have echoed similar
views.
You see why the Democratic Party is hellbent on removing
President Trump from office. One suspects that the anguish over poor Ukraine
masks a deeper anguish, the one that wants to return to those halcyon Obama
days when America was conspiring with Iran to undermine the Middle East and to
rid the world of Israel.
Among those who have spoken out, one Nikki Haley:
106 protesters in 21 cities were killed over the course of the protests in Iran. Hundreds of people have been injured & more than a thousand arrested. We should all stand with the Iranian people who desperately want a better life away from the Iranian regime. #FreedomForIran
