    The ex- president Khatami said " overthrow of Islamic Republic is neither possible nor desirable . " I once met a man , who told me " The Shah regime would be over by a revolution in four years time . " And this was no prediction . But what happened was not a revolution in a true sense . Much of the same ideology and class that held power , remained intact , and became stronger over time .

    Mr Khatami is wrong in saying an overthrow is not possible . It is possible and easy . But he is right in saying it is not desirable . Since there is no alternative than an American backed puppet state , worse than the present administration . What is both possible and desirable , for the democratic forces , is the overthrow of the elements in the security and information services , responsible for using excessive force against demonstrators .

    These forces implement the wishes of the reactionary right wing , and are it's vanguard . Disabling these elements that aim , through violence , to either suppress the popular movements , or if not successful , bring about a civil war , where they can launch a coup , in favour of the Shah in exile and separatists and yank interventionist .

    The means to achieve this are within the reach of the ordinary people . Imposing a cost for any violent action against the public . Soon the paymasters behind these forces will run out of recruits , who are mostly from deprived and working class backgrounds . The fat cats are too few , to do their own fighting .

    I am tired of arguing against the use of shot- guns in crowd control and devastating impact on social stability . These actions are deliberate and perpetrated deliberately against national security , in collusion , I believe , with external forces . The ministries of security and information are compromised by the enemy . There is more evidence in this regard .

    Iran is planning to inaugurate a major rail link this summer that completes railway connection between the Caspian Sea in its north and the Persian Gulf in the south.

    That is excellent news for all the countries of the Caspian sea, because now they can ship things to Iran and Iran can transfer by rail those things to its south and then onto ships to the rest of the world bypassing choke points that countries can close.

    Taliban , as well as not supplying the water to Iran , have diverted UN aid to northern Afghanistan tribes . I said before that any recognition of Taliban , should be conditional on their behaviour . And their behaviour lately is far from good . Now any aid Iran gives to Taliban , including discounted oil or fuel , should be conditional to them allowing fair share of water , and direct flow of aid to Northern tribes . If they do not help in this regard , then Iran can obtain fair share from the River by removing the top layer of Dam , with a few missile strikes ! As well as direct cash and other aid to Northern tribes . The UN , should also provide direct aid to Northern areas .


    https://en.mehrnews.com/photo/200922/Tulip-farm-in-NW-Iran


    Regarding important steps for Iran security , I mentioned five : First was Nuclear deterrent , second was Air force , third was Agriculture ( water management ) , fourth was trade routes and non- Dollar trade , and most important was Democracy ( formation of political parties ) . Important achievements have been made in all areas but the last step . If this step of formation of political parties is completed , then it will safeguard and even guarantee success in all other areas , and be the most useful tool in security under all possible outcomes of : Collapse of government , attempted coup , foreign intervention , war . This can be achieved by a compromise between left and Right parties and leadership should make public attempts in doing this .

    The CIA loves democracies because perverting democracy is their most precious skill... they love democracy because it is easy to manipulate a significant portion of the population most of the time...

    Personally I think democracy is over rated.

    The critical thing is to make politicians accountable and that requires a free and independent media that cares about the country and the people... and no country really has that.

    Voting for some one promising to do something means nothing... Trump promised a sensible working relationship with Russia... not friendship mind you, just cooperation where the US got some benefit and that is all and he put more sanctions on Russia than any president before him... he also promised to bring US soldiers from foreign wars that had nothing to do with the safety of the US... he got 1,000 soldiers to come home from Syria but they lied about how many were there so they are still there, and Afghanistan was a total cock up and didn't happen till after he was gone from power.

    Zelensky promised peace and discussions with Russia and the breakaway regions and did neither.

    Trump gets criticised for everything except not following through on his election promises, and Zelensky can do no wrong in the west... though it sounds like his own people are not so happy... but what can they do?

    ...and that is democracy.

    Of course Russia has democracy too and things seem to be rather good for them despite facing off against the entire western world things seem to be ticking over well for them in general.

    The American oligarchy and most other predatory economies , only like political forms , as long as they act in their class interests . Therefore class interests always trumps ( get it ? Trumps ) societal , national or international collective interests . It is called real-politics . Democracies do not come about as a result , simply , of elevated class consciousness . They come about , when predatory class relationships are replaced by symbiotic ones . It is an evolutionary process , where organisms or classes during relatively stable conditions and prolonged confrontations for survival , evolve or loose ability , physically or organically , to be predatory . They loose the potential . In the British house of commons , the distance between the left and right side of seats is more than two sword lengths ! In nature most relationships are not symbiotic and result in extinctions and evolution of new forms of great diversity . The longest living organisms on Earth , existing without evolving , like Ants or Horse Shoe crab , are among the democrats / symbiotic / communistic , but are among the minority of relationships .

    Ironically the most numerous life form on this planet... bacteria... are generally symbiotic most of the time... otherwise we would all be dead.

    I was not interested in this story , until they mentioned " Iranian spy . " Many indications that he is not a spy , but either a patsy for some other crime , paying penance by playing a role , or willing imposter . The most important and obvious reason that I think he is no spy , shall remain private , as I do not want to give the game away . But more obvious reasons are to do with his " genius " prison escape , akin to the great escape by Steve Mc'queen or the attempt at Colditz . And the equally " genius " recapture , when he was cycling by a Canal , in daylight !

    Well this means two things : First is that the English have no Iranian spies in custody in the UK . The second is that the Iranians have an English spy in custody in Iran . The English , by making an added value spy , may be hoping for an " exchange ! "  If exchange took place , they could even ship- off an undesirable ! But obviously there can be no exchange , since this one is a dud ! LOL .

    Good . Very good . Illegal gatherings and demos , are a small part of the problem . People will demonstrate , no matter what , for all kinds of reasons , till eternity ! But it is the extremist and terrorist groups , within the country , either disguised as security forces or employed by them , that are the bigger part of the problem .

    In Iraq , not long ago , there was the first case of arrest for a member of the security forces , who had shot at and perhaps killed a demonstrator . This shows the way for Iran too . Any incident of the use of firearms in public places by anyone , should be investigated and perpetrators identified , together with the exact circumstances that allowed the shooting and killings .

    All security staff , should carry cameras to record events . All their ammunition issued , should be marked with DNA marker used by forensics . Bullets extracted , even if deformed or shitgun pellets , can be identified .

    @IranObserver0
    Raisi met with Jewish anti-Zion rabbis.

    "We don't have any problem with Judaism, our problem is Zionism," Raisi said at the meeting.

    “In the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jews have always been free, Iran has always supported them. There has always been a separation between Zions and Jews,” said the rabbi.

    If anyone is confused, Zionism is the Jewish equivalent of Naziism. If you're still confused, look at how Israel treats its neighbors and non-Jewish inhabitants (including Christians).

    Which reminds me of the quote that Anti Semitism used to mean someone that hated Jews, but now it means someone the Jews do not approve of.

    I think it was Sobran who said that and some other good stuff.  But the zionist Podhoretz forced Buckley to dump Sobran.

    So, it turns out the Murican Navy is just sitting ducks when they go up against a legit military.

    You know what would be funny ? If Iranian drone landed on Helipad  and dropped the mail intended for ship captain and crew ! I heard these pirates are giving Iranian arms for Yemen ( Rifle rounds ) , they stole from a ship to the Orcs ! Just to rub it in . I think Iran should arrange special shipment for them to steal . One that causes Rifles to backfire , every now and then and Rockets to miss-fire etc .  If oil , then maybe in ship that will start to leak near US coast . Or catch fire . Simple arrangement by Iranian oil carriers and Tankers can be made , to render oil useless if stolen . A container of contaminants , hidden in Tanker , could be triggered , to pollute the oil and / sink Tanker too . Like those explosive dye packs in Banks , to ruin the bank notes , and mark the thieves . LOL .

    When the law does not provide protection or justice then sometimes you have to take other measures for yourself...

    When they ignore international law like this they can hardly complain if you do the same or something different.
