The recent protests in Iran have given the Trump regime and the neo-cons hard-ons.
Once again, we are seeing the US try to high-jack legitimate protests to cause chaos, violence, and regime change.
Trump has been issuing ignorant and pathetic tweets that impress and fool no one, except Netanyahoo and the idiots that support them both. He has been calling the Iranian government corrupt, and that it spends peoples’ money on supporting terrorism.
Surely Trump hasn’t looked into a mirror lately!
Also, why hasn’t Trump tweeted anything regarding the protests that are taking place in zionistan against his buddy Netanyahoo’s corruption? Has the cat got his forked tongue?
But Iran has had to put up with US abuse and subterfuge before, and knows how to effectively deal with any and all attempts of the US/CIA/Mossad at subversion.
Iran has been inoculated against these US plots since 1979. Also, the Iranians have been watching for years the abhorrent US behavior in the world, especially in Syria, Libya, Iraq and elsewhere, the killing of Iranian scientists most likely by CIA/Mossad agents, and continuous attempts at causing economic hardship by reneging on the JCPOA, and passing sanctions on Iran.
These actions have turned off most Iranians to the US. This is why any attempts to foment regime change in Iran are doomed to failure.
The US simply doesn’t have the assets and a base to succeed in Iran.
Watching previous US regime change operations, it is clear that they can only succeed in one of two ways. Through internal subversion, or direct/indirect military action.
INTERNAL SUBVERSION SCENARIO
For this method to succeed, there has to be a continuous, long-term, firmly-rooted presence of US agents and proxies on the ground in the country which the US wants to control.
This requires lots of money and effort. It’s done through the setting up of US/western-funded NGOs and other ‘civil society’ CIA front organizations, like USAid, in the target country.
These organizations recruit and educate (brainwash) naive elements within the host society who are receptive to US propaganda. These individuals are given lots of dollars, then organize all sorts of seminars, conferences, and other gatherings aimed at promoting feel-good, nice-sounding policies which are meant to benefit US political, military, economic and strategic interests.
The NGOs and various organization funded by the US, together with the US embassy in the target country then support and promote any and all politicians and individuals running for public office. In return for this financial and PR support, the candidates faithfully promote US interests, once elected.
When there are enough of these proxies and dupes trained well-enough, the US directs them to stage protests, unrest, and demand the resignation of any government officials who the US finds inconvenient, and who don't want to take orders from the US.
In the midst of seemingly legitimate protests, paid protesters flood the streets, and it becomes quite difficult to tell who, and what is real or not. If the protests are taking too long, or if the host nation’s government puts up firm resistance, agent-saboteurs are called in, and suddenly people are getting shot at from rooftops. The massacres are then blamed on the host nation’s government, and the US-controlled protesters demand that the government must leave. The protests get more violent, until the government relents.
This is the scenario that unfolded in Ukraine in 2014, but has also happened in certain ex-Soviet republics, like Georgia.
DIRECT/INDIRECT MILITARY ACTION
If a nation that the US targets for regime change doesn’t have a firmly-rooted presence of US/western-sponsored NGOs and other such organizations that can be used to subvert and destabilize from within, and a populace that is either hostile or indifferent to the US, then the US regime opts for military armed violence in order to overthrow a government it doesn’t like.
This will take the form of direct or indirect military action.
Direct military action will be used only if the target nation has been sufficiently softened up beforehand-usually with crippling sanctions and/or periodic military strikes, excused by a UN resolution-or a self-serving US interpretation of one. This is what happened with Iraq between 1991-2003.
Indirect military action is used if the target country hasn’t been adequately softened up, no US-sponsored NGOs have a presence, and the population is generally not supportive of US aims.
The US then trains and arms rebel groups, including known terrorists to infiltrate the target country. These rebels cause havoc and violence on a mass-scale. Once they dig in, they cause provocations and false flags to create an excuse for US intervention.
This tactic is preceded with lots of propaganda and disinformation about the rebels bringing ‘freedom and democracy’ to the target country. Lies are peddled about how the target nation’s government is massacring people, denying them food, bombing them from the air, or gassing them with chemical weapons. In this way, the target country’s government is made to look repressive and cruel, no longer 'legitimate' and a target for further, and more overt acts of US-sponsored violence.
Such scenarios unfolded in Libya and Syria. It succeeded in Libya, but was successfully countered in Syria.
So to recap, in order for any US regime change operation to succeed in Iran, the following will have to be present:
1. An operating US embassy
2. US-based NGOs and ‘civil society’ organizations
3. Dedicated dupes and proxies thoroughly indoctrinated with pro-US propaganda
4. US media organizations which support all three
These four entities act in tandem to manipulate local and global public opinion to go against the host nation’s government, and create a false image that the government is criminal and corrupt to such a degree that everyone wants it gone.
Even if the host government tries to address the demands of the rioters, the offers are rejected, and the protesters get even more violent, and demand even more. This is a sure sign that the so-called ‘revolution’ is a fake US-sponsored regime change operation, since legitimate protesters will disperse once their demands are met.
We saw this in Ukraine, when the previous government of Victor Yanukovych agreed to the protesters demands for early elections and promised to resign. Right after that, mysterious gunmen fired on people. This created the perfect excuse for the ‘opposition’ to take power by force, which is what the US wanted all along. Early elections would have meant that political parties and individuals not friendly to US interests would be left intact, and would have the chance to be elected, or re-elected at a later date.
The US didn’t want this. It wanted total control of Ukraine, and eliminate the possibility of any government coming to power ever again that wasn’t subservient to the US. This is why after the current pro-US Ukrainian junta came to power, there was a purge of politicians critical of the US/EU.
After Yuschenko, the US wanted to make sure that their next clown stays in place, for good.
The good news is that Iran contains virtually none of the four ingredients necessary for the US to successfully subvert the country from the inside. The most there is, are some western media organizations, but their propaganda and fake news has no sway without an army of well-organized agents and provocateurs on the ground.
Also, Iran has a huge number of backup forces like the Basij, and other pro-government volunteer militias that can be mobilized quickly, and which will snuff out any and all direct or indirect US attempts at subversion. We saw them in action in 2009.
Iranian intelligence is also quite adept at quickly sniffing out conspiracies. They had decades of practice.
Direct military option like the one in Iraq won’t succeed, and will invite harsh Iranian reprisals. Iran has enough deterrent power to cause much pain for the US and zionistan. Any attempt at direct invasion will most likely cause havoc on a mass scale throughout the region and maybe even beyond. It will cause a war.
The US doesn’t have the clout for such an action anyway. Iran is too formidable of an adversary.
Then there’s Russia and China. These two won’t just sit idly by, and most likely they’re providing some help to Iran against any and all outside saboteurs.
With all this being said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Iranian people legitimately protesting unfavorable economic conditions. The best thing for the Iranian government to do is to address them, and do so quickly.
Ironically what the Iranians are actually protesting are pro-capitalist, neo-liberal policies of reformist President Rouhani, policies which have been sneaking back into Iran in the last few years. The reformist government has cut aid for students, eliminated price controls and subsidies on certain goods. The reformists pro-capitalist policies have also raised unemployment.
The previous government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejiad actually instituted subsidies, price controls, help for students, and cut unemployment-all in the midst of sanctions that were worse than today.
So what is going on is that the Trump regime doesn’t understand the demands of the Iranian public. The protests are actually against policies that people like Trump would welcome.
The US is dusting off the old regime change script, complete with fake news, false accusations, doctored/incorrectly attributed photos, astro-turfing by dishonest protest-goers, and lots of slanted and twisted coverage by the MSM which, as always, gets it all wrong on-purpose.
Somehow Trump doesn’t mind ‘fake news’ when it’s not directed at him.
The US regime and the neo-cons won’t get their ‘Iranian revolution.’ No matter what the grievances of the Iranian public are, the majority abhors US policies and Trump’s off-the-wall, uninformed electronic rants and abuse of Iran.
The US has the biggest prison population in the world, 42 million people living in poverty, serious lack of health care insurance, daily shootings, crumbling infrastructure, depressed wages, eroding labor rights. It supports vile, despotic regimes in Saudi Arabia and zionistan, supports terrorism, and much more sins to atone for.
So Trump needs to leave Iran alone, and fix his own house before he shits in someone else’s.
