The outcome of the Iranian sham election makes no difference

The outcome of the Iranian sham election makes no difference for ordinary people, but if you look at the candidates it is most likely that Rouhani, Raisi or Qalibaf will win. Jahangir will most likely drop out in favor of Rouhani. The two other candidates Mirsalim and Hashemitaba do not have a chance at winning.

Uprising a Fear of Iranian Regime as Elections Draw Near

The MEK has put up posters around Tehran and most people do not wish to vote for any of the candidates they want a democratic election. But everyone knows that as long as the clerics rule Iran there will never e a democratic election.  

 The disagreements about the candidates have split the Khamenei faction into 4 camps:
1.Avoid participation who was the supporters of Ahmadinejad
2.The suppressive forces, JAMNA who supports Raisi and Qalibaf 
3.Motalefeh who supports Mirsalim 
4.Fundamentalists who support Rouhani
Both Rouhani and Jahangir asked for Khamenei’s permission in February 2017 and Rouhani stated that if Khamenei had someone else in mind he would drop out. 
JAMNA was created several months ago with the aim of creating unity among various Khamenei factions to support a single presidential candidate.  The leaders of this faction are Nateq Nouri, Ali Larijani, Ali Motahari and a number of struggling clerics and clergy in Qom.

The JAMNA coalition wants Raisi to become the next president, Khamenei approved his candidacy in March 2017. Qalibaf had initiated his campaign a year before the election. Qalibaf refused to register as a candidate after the IRGC and Khamenei supported Raisi. Khamenei’s office asked him to register so that he could appear in presidential debates and to make revelations against Rouhani. At the same time, he would portray Raisi as a non-partisan actor. Qalibaf should opt out in favor of Raisi. Qalibaf is registered as an opponent to Rouhani so Jahangiri registered as a candidate to support Rouhani. 

Khamenei has staged this to make it appear as if there are real competition in the election. He wants a large voter turnout in order to fool the international community into believing that the regime enjoys popular legitimacy. Khamenei also invites foreign reporters to specific polling stations where the regime's supporters and agents line up to make it look like all Iranians are voting. The regime is also preventing the reporters from browsing other polling stations. Domestic reporters will face threats and intimidation while covering other stations. 
The IRGC has created fake identification cards and is also using the ID cards of deceased people to vote. Another trick the regime are using is that of increasing the votes for each candidate four or five fold to show a higher voter turnout. 
The truth of this election is that there will be no change no matter which candidate becomes president. All candidates are in fact approved by Khamenei and no one of them will become president if Khamenei disapproves.  The biggest fear for Khamenei is to experience an uprising like the one in 2009. This was a big scare for the regime and it showed the regime that they are not as popular as they think. People show their discontent with the regime in different protests around Iran. 

Come celebrate Nowruz with the Iranian Resistance

 On march 20 2017, at 11 AM CET,  please join Iranians in their demand for a free Iran and join the twitter storm and tweet your support with the hashtags #FreeIran #Nowrouz.
Nowruz is an ancient tradition dating back as far as 5000 years. The first to celebrate the new year was the Kurdish Zarthosth worshipers.

Iran- Sabze symbol of growing in Nowruz

The jumping over fire comes from these early celebrations. The word Nowruz is made up of two words: nou = new and the word Ruz= day so it literarily means “new-day”. The celebrations take place over 13 days and are starting on the 29. Esfand.  In early Persian tradition, the people used 25 days before the celebration to prepare wheat, rye, oats, pies, corn, beans and sesame seed and the seeds that had the best growth was the best crop to sow this year. The celebrations nowadays are quite different.

Iranian Traditional Fire Festival Celebration

As I mentioned earlier the Nowruz celebrations predates Islam with thousands of years, and was originally a celebration of new life, of the sunlight returning and in the ancient Persia the year was divided into two parts, summer with 7 months and winter 5 months. In Iran, following the 1979 revolution the regime has been trying to eliminate the Nowruz celebrations with very little success. The regime considers Nowruz a pagan holiday and a distraction from Islamic holidays.
Every year before Nowruz people are doing Xane tekani, this means spring cleaning and this year this means a spring cleaning of the house of Iran, we must throw out the old and expired (the Regime) and start the new year with clean slates.
The Charshanbe suri is celebrated on the last Wednesday eve before the new year. It is usually celebrated with people making bonfires and jumping over them, as well as setting of fireworks and sparkles.
The decorative table is a must in the Nowruz celebrations, on the table you must have 7 items starting with the letter S.
Sabze: wheat, barley or lentil sprout grown in a bowl
Samanu: a sweet pudding made from germinated wheat
Senjed: the dried fruit of the oleaster tree
Sir: garlic
Sib: apples
Somaq: sumac berries
Serke: vinegar

Nowruz Iranian tradition Haft Sin

In the news emerging from Iranian Nowruz celebrations this year we see that the rallies turned into large protests against the clerical regime, in Tehran youth was burning portraits of Khomeini and Khamenei in protest, people all over Iran chanted Death to the mullahs and mullahs must go. The riot police have been trying to stop the celebrations but their efforts were futile. People have had enough of the mullahs and are longing for a regime change, they are dreaming and wishing for a better life.
The clergy in Tehran knows all too well that this means that their days are numbered. The mullahs are trying to prevent their downfall with more suppression, more torture, more arbitrary arrests and more public executions but the people refuse to be silenced. The people will not stop until Iran is free of her chains given her by the Islamic regime.
Iranian citizens celebrate Nowruz this year with the hope of a perspective ahead for a good year to come, the year that marks the end of the Mullahs.
