The raging fire and black billowing smoke from the burning Iranian oil tanker in the East China Sea, run by Iran’s top oil shipping operator, is an apt metaphor for what is happening in Iran. It is politically ablaze. Citizens are being killed by fire — gun fire.
“Death to America” is a common slogan of the Ayatollah’s supporters whenever they take to social media or the streets of Teheran to protest anything America or its president say or do that they don’t like. Now that they are taking to the streets chanting “Death to the Ayatollahs and their political theocracy” it is the right time for America and Saudi Arabia to help Iran achieve regime change.
I discuss at length the history of U.S.-Iran relations and the benefits of a rapprochement — and in fact encourage it in my 2007 book Custom Maid Knowledge for New World Order and point out that:
“Islam came late to Persia, a land which boasted a rich and
full civilization long before the Arab invaders swept from the
West. While most younger Iranians do admire Islam’s sense
of discipline, art and architecture, they have little interest in
its rigid dogma and social intolerance.
….
There is a civil uprising well under way behind closed doors
and under chadors (head-to-toe robes). Iran’s teenagers are
rebelling in the best traditions of We the Apathetic Maids —
by embracing sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll – even with the threat
of persecution and whipping.”
Nothing has really changed since then, except millennials have come of age, and like their contemporaries in America and the rest of the world, want an end to political corruption and a fair share of the economic benefits enjoyed exclusively by the establishment elite — the Ayatollahs and their Revolutionary Guards Corps. Iranians want their fair share of the economic pita bread.
Half of the 80 million population is under 30.
“Death to Iran” is a long overdue American slogan. It is time for America and the Saudis to forcefully deal with the third leg of the “Axis of Evil” stool — the Ayatollahs and their religious stooges — not the sectarian masses. They, like America, want to see a stop to their money going to support military activities across the Middle East.
The Ayatollahs and their Revolutionary Guards are not only depriving the Iranian people of what is justly theirs by gaming and corrupting the religious political system to their advantage at the expense of the people — which is what the protests were all about until they became political – they are also denying the long-sought peace Israel and its Arab neighbors have been searching for decades. Their support of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and the Houthis in Yemen, not to mention the Shia militias in Iraq that killed Americans, is the primary cause of these ongoing conflicts that are preventing peace in the Middle East – and depriving protesting Iranians of what justly belongs to them.
President Trump is right in withholding billions of U.S. aid dollars to Pakistan and the Palestinians. Why support those that attack America – militarily and politically? Why should they be financed by America? Those dollars are much better spent bringing about regime change in Iran. It is not only good for America, it is good for the people of Iran and the prospects of peace in the Middle East.
China, Russia, America and Iran, have always spent billions of dollars and done whatever they can to influence perceived competitive-threatening governments, change unfavorable foreign regimes and policies. It is nothing new. That is one reason why the outraged cries of Russian meddling in America’s politics is laughable. Of course Russia meddles in America’s politics just like America does in Russia, China, Iran and other countries.
Time to focus more attention on Iran Mr. President. Take away the money given Pakistan and the Palestinians and spend it on regime change in Iran. Time to aggressively execute on the strategic plan America and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman agreed to during Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia.
