Iran-IRGC is the main tool for suppression and terrorism

 As the new year was approaching in Iran, we saw how the IRGC was treating the celebrating people. The IRGC’s Basij militia, used violence to try to prevent people from celebrating the fire festival. Political prisoners used the fire festival to protest against the regime. The IRGC is using violence with such brutality that it must be compared with a terrorist organization. And this action from the IRGC is not uncommon outside of Iranian borders either.
   
IRGC is a terrorist Group
We all remember the 900 missing men and boys from Aleppo, and we all remember the genocide the IRGC was committing in the same city with the help of Assad’s thugs, the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Russian bomber jets. The IRGC has a lot of Syrian children’s lives on their conscience if they have one that is something I doubt. As the citizens of Aleppo was forcefully evacuated the IRGC was using the evacuating convoy’s as target practice, killing wounded people, rescue workers and children. 

The list of the crimes committed by the IRGC under orders from the clerical regime in Tehran is long and bloody. We all remember the terrible sacrilege that was tried to be committed against the holy city of Mecca by Houthis from Yemen. The ballistic missile that was fired against Mecca came from Iran. Iran has for many years fueled the war in Yemen, Iraq and Syria. Although in the war in Yemen they are mostly shipping weapons and ammunition to the Houthi’s they do not provide soldiers. But in Syria the IRGC has been fighting on the ground alongside Assad’s army. They have fought with such brutality that they have earned to be classified as a terror organization.

There has also been revealed a lot of brutality against Sunni Muslims in Iraq, the IRGC is torturing and brutally murdering innocent civilian Sunni Iraqis. The crimes committed by the IRGC can be compared with the crimes committed by the IS in the same region. There is no secret that the clerical regime in Iran and the IRGC is behind the birth of IS. They are in Syria now under the pretext of fighting IS but if we take a look at the records they have not engaged in combat against IS and Assad has not fought IS either. They have only slaughtered innocent Syrian civilians, mostly children and their mothers, not soldiers.
There are also disturbing news about a training camp for children that is training children as young as 5-6 years old in weapons use, the children and their mothers are brainwashed to believe that there is an honor to die as a martyr for the regime. This is no different from the actions of IS. The IRGC is using games and brainwashing to turn the children into loyal canon fodder. The children are trained to hate Israel and USA. This practice started right after the Iranian revolution and child soldiers was used in 2011 to suppress Tehran protesters, according to the Guardian.  
All this evidence is pointing out that there is no doubt that the IRGC is in fact a terrorist organization and must be branded as one, they must be blacklisted.

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.

The Iranian spring of freedom and prosperity

 We are witnessing spring all over the northern hemisphere, spring brings hope, a new life and dreams. I hope that this year will bring hope, freedom and democracy to Iran. She deserves a new life, she needs a new life, her people desires new life. It is up to us to help Iran get rid of the despotic dictators that have put her in chains. Iran is a country with a vast wealth that should be used to improve the livelihood of all Iranians, not only the clergy, and it should most definitely not be used to fuel the war in Syria, Iraq or Yemen. 

Iranian children are living in extra poverty
 But unfortunately that is what we see happening in Iran, the mullahs are putting the wealth of Iran into their own pocket or they are using it for war, this will never change unless we get a regime shift in Iran.   During the fire festival, this year people have been chanting Death to Khamenei, Death to the Velayat al-faqih, Death to mullahs’ regime and Mullahs must be killed.

 The protests could be heard all over Iran, even political prisoners joined in the protests. In hall 12 ward 4 in Karaj’s Gohardasht prison west of Tehran they chanted Death to Dictator and Death to mullahs regime. Youth In Tehran have been celebrating by jumping over fire chanting Mullahs must be killed they also burned a large portrait of Khomeini and Khamenei.


The city of Esfahan has turned into a battleground between youth who are adamant to celebrate the feast of fire festival and the suppressive revolutionary guards who are keen to prevent the people from celebrating.  The Iranian people changed the fire festival into a gigantic protest against the mullahs and the mullahs rule there was the protest in Robat Karim, Arak, Urumia, Rasht, Ardevil, Shiraz, Mashhad, Kashan, Asluyie, Yasuj, Shahr-e Kord, Kermanshah, Bane, Khoramabad, Sardasht and Mahshahr.
The people's demands will be possible only under a new government, and these changes are the very core of the Iranian resistance, they are working hard from within Iran and from exile to liberate the people of Iran. In the 10 point plan made by the NCRI, all basic human rights have the highest priority. They are also clear on the wish to abolish the death penalty and medieval punishments like stoning. In the view of the resistance, this has no place in a democratic and free society.  In these days we see that all over Iran people are no longer silent about the injustice has done to them by the clerical regime. They are loudly protesting and with the growth of social media, the whole world is supporting their fight for freedom.
There will be more deaths and broken families but this is a price the people are willing to pay to secure that their children will grow up in a free and democratic Iran.  Let us pray that Iran will lose her chains soon, Inch Allah.
