When President Trump appointed former CIA director Michael Pompeo to replace Rex W. Tillerson as Secretary of State and former UN Ambassador John Bolton as his new National Security advisor, many pundits predicted that the Trump administration was serious in dealing with rogue states. Both Bolton and Pompeo had advocated that Iran and North Korea change their behaviors, or regime change would be on the table.

Many people believed these appointments were a sign that President Trump was serious in dealing with dangerous actors. Almost immediately, the Islamic Republic’s lobbyists started their propaganda machine and scare tactics, as they have done so often in the past twenty years (that war was imminent and Iranians should oppose Trump’s appointments). Needless to say, the Iranian people were happy and supported these appointments. While cautious, the Iranian people are hoping that this time around, an American administration is serious and will stand on the side of the oppressed Iranian people, as former President Ronald Reagan did with the Polish solidarity movement and all the former Soviet satellite countries.

“Reagan’s continued policy of vigorously promoting democracy and condemning communism is credited as hastening the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and along with Pope John Paul II he was a strong supporter of Wałęsa’s campaign for presidency in 1990.”

Forgotten People

For forty years, the U.S. State Department has called the Islamic Republic of Iran the world’s “most active state sponsor of terrorism,” and U.S. intelligence agencies have reported that the Islamic Republic of Iran has continued to provide funding, weapons, training, and sanctuary to numerous terrorist groups based in the Middle East, including Hezbollah, Hamas and elsewhere, posing a security concern to the international community. Yet no US administration has ever tried to counter the Islamic Republic’s propaganda machine, and clearly were unwilling to help the Iranian people to end this Islamic nightmare, which was mostly imposed upon them by the incompetent Jimmy Carter and his administration.

Corruption and mismanagement, combined with the huge allocation of resources to acquire nuclear weapons, are bound to burden the country’s badly ailing economy and will likely bury the mullahs in the rubble of their own making and grant them their death wish. Regrettably, these purveyors of death aim to hurt and kill as many innocent people along the way to their own inevitable looming graves.

Over the past forty years, Europeans chose the appeasement policy and worked with the mullahs without consideration for human rights in Iran, and the US basically forgot about its former best friend in the region and the plight of the Iranian people until the mullahs installed a firebrand Islamist, Ahmadinejad, as the President of the country.

Who are the Mullahs

The mullahs are proven vicious mass killers. They summarily executed tens of thousands of Iranian dissidents. They had no qualms about sending thousands of children to clear the minefields ahead of their tanks during the 80s war with Iraq, and they have thousands of “martyrs” brainwashed and prepared to serve as bomb mules to be dispatched to any place in the world.

The mullahs are the principal agent of terror, believing their cause to be the cause of Allah. This is the outcome of an Islamic ideology. They are the result of adherence to the Islamic creed, precisely as codified in Qur’anic scripture.

Similar to the Nazis who possessed a vast and destructive power apparatus, the Islamic Republic is on the same path of the destruction of the civilized world. Why the world had looked the other way about the homicidal, genocidal actions of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the past forty years is a very good question that many Iranians would like to have answered. Had the Nazis won the war, they would have slaughtered tens, perhaps hundreds of millions more around the globe and enslaved the peoples of Poland, France, Ukraine, Russia and other countries — something the Islamic Republic is still dreaming about.

I have been warning that it is a deadly miscalculation to engage in infighting and sit and wait out this emerging catastrophe. It is little more than an exercise in denial to believe that nothing bad will happen, and that the corrupt and inept mullahs will likely shoot themselves in the foot instead of wreaking havoc in the world. I also keep pleading that we should forthwith help the Iranian democratic opposition send the death-bearer mullahs back to their mosques. It is the free world’s best and most urgent option. Iranians have no doubt that it is time to end the mullahs’ reign of terror.

Election of President Trump

For the first time in a long time, the American people elected a non-politician by the name of Donald J. Trump. President Trump is unafraid to speak his mind and tell the truth. Despite the MSM’s non-stop negative coverage against the President, Donald Trump has not backed down, and neither have his supporters. His ratings are going up, and he has become an inspiration to all freedom-loving people around the world, including the Iranian people. In a very short time, he has achieved over 138 goals in a year that even 10 Presidents combined could hardly accomplish. Also, there is hope among the Iranian people that perhaps this time around they will achieve their freedom, establish democracy and join the rest of the human family with a new emancipating program for life—that of liberty and progress.

On July 22, 2018, President Trump sent his Secretary of State Pompeo to convey this message to Iranian people, not only those who are in the US, but especially to those who are suffering under the brutal regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran. To many Iranians, it was heartening to know after some forty-odd years, they finally have a President who cares for them.

Ironically, it was only a few days ago when President Trump, in an all-caps message on Twitter addressed to President Hassan Rouhani of Iran, wrote that the country would face “CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED” if he continued to threaten the United States.

Now, after forty years of terror and intimidation, for the first time, a proud and suffering Iranian people appear to have found a real friend in the White House, by the name of Donald J. Trump.
