Anti-Government Protests Spread to 20 Cities In Iran
Day two of mass protests against the Mullahs.
How did the protests start? The demonstrations began in the north-eastern city of Mashhad - the country's second most-populous - on Thursday. People there took to the streets to express anger at the government over high prices, and vented their fury against President Hassan Rouhani. Fifty-two people were arrested for chanting "harsh slogans". The protests spread to other cities in the north-east, and and some developed into broader anti-government demonstrations, calling for the release of political prisoners and an end to police beatings. On Friday, despite warnings from authorities, the demonstrations spread further to some of the biggest cities in the country. They represent the most serious and widespread expression of public discontent in Iran since mass protests in 2009 that followed a disputed election, correspondents say. What are people complaining about? What began as a protest against economic conditions and corruption has turned political. Slogans have been chanted against not just Mr Rouhani but Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and clerical rule in general. Demonstrators were reportedly heard yelling slogans like "The people are begging, the clerics act like God". Protests have even been held in Qom, a holy city home to powerful clerics. There is also anger at Iran's interventions abroad. In Mashhad, some chanted "not Gaza, not Lebanon, my life for Iran", a reference to what protesters say is the administration's focus on foreign rather than domestic issues.Via National Review, the mullahs' armed thugs may not be willing to shoot upon protesters calling for the death of the cleric tyrants:
A remarkable feature of current situationi n Iran is that more and more security units refuse to attack protesters as they did in 2009. This may change but feeling at the moment is that mullahs might find it hard to persuade their gunmen to kill unarmed protesters as before.

Because Trump has sided with the protesters against the terrorist-hiring apocalyptic dictators, David Frum, Jen Rubin, Tom Nichols, Bill Kristol, David French, and the rest of the #MuhPrinciples gang will have to swing swiftly to urging Obama-like support of the mullahs.

Then the mass protests happen on Barry's watch, and the silence was deafening.
Trump's statement of support is a good start, but we've been at war with Iran in various ways since at least the hostage crisis, and it spiked when they were killing American troops in Iraq, but the response has been mostly crickets.
(And treason, but I'm focusing on the protestors here.)

Seriously, there has to be a HUGE amount of pent-up resentment of all this Muzzie BS the poor Iranian people have been subject to for the last few decades. Methinks their time is coming, soon, what with the Saudis, the Jews, and especially the U.S. now under sane leadership as was not the case for lo those many years, possibly not since Reagan.

Here's my plan to liberate Iran. I'll forward it to Trump. We do massive air drop of Internet porn. You know, devices, thumb drives, etc. And about a months' worth of free subscriptions to all the big porn sites.
Do you want this, or insert pictures of gals covered in burkahs and mullahs ordering stonings and hangings and etc.
Your choice. All these subscriptions expire in a month........give us the mullahs heads on pikes, and we extend the subscriptions for years. Lifetime for the leaders.

That was basically true of Iraq as well, and well, you saw the same war I did.
Of all the places where regime change had the best bet of producing a stable, Western-friendly government and reasonably enlightened nation, Iraq was A #1 By Far.
And again, well, look at it. I still think the Iraq War was right and just and not a total failure, but it sure didn't go the way I had hoped.

My Alma Mater was the Iranian Naval Academy. Seriously. The Shah would send his Army guys to VMI and the Navy guys to El Cid. Texas A&M had Iranians in their Corpse of Cadets as well.
I was a plebe/rat when the embassy was taken. It was actually sad for the Iranian students since they were on the Ayatollah's hit list.

Some but not all Iranians are pro-American. The Shah repressed the Communists, so leftist Iranians are anti-American, just as leftists everywhere are anti-American.
(Because of that, the Iranian Communists initially supported the Islamic Revolution. Then the mullahs rounded them up and exterminated them. Heh.)

I thought - and think - the same thing. Besides Iraq being the pick of the cultural litter in the Middle East, it has oil, unlike some countries there, and most importantly, unlike Iran, it's Arab.
If W had succeeded - that is to say, if the Reds hadn't scuppered him at every turn - and set Iraq on the path to an enlightened, democratic, pro-Western course that could have served as a signal example to the other Arab countries. In so doing he would have changed world history for the better, and would have outshone Abraham Lincoln by miles (since his impact was solely in the U.S.).
So it was a bold and noble attempt of potentially historic significance.
Just my $0.02.

Twelver Shiia is actually a big deal in Iran. When the 12th Imam rises out of the well all the good little boys and girls will get candy...no, that's the Great Pumpkin.
BTH can correct me if I'm wrong, but Twelver Shiia IIRC is an apocalyptic Shiite sect that believes that the 12th Rightly Guided Imam has occulted himself in the well and will rise when conditions of anarchy reign, then he will unite with Jesus -- yes, no shit -- to fight against the Antichrist.

Supposedly one of the things the protesters are most angry about is the money that was sent to Iran is being sent to Hezbollah the Houthi rebels in Yemen and not spent on the people. I've seen tweets were that is exactly what the protesters are chanting about.

If I remember a bit about this "12th Imam" business, it illustrates the difference between Christian end-times theology and Muslim end-times. Starkly.
The Muslims must bring about the Apocalypse, by going nuts and bringing anarchy and chaos to the world. You know, got out and go ISIS. Or even better, start a nuclear holocaust.
Then, and only then, does the Messiah come. So, a good Muslim must work to bring that about -- by going full blood and gore jihad.

His very first international trip was to Saudi Arabia to meet with a newly formed coalition of Sunni Muslim countries. He told them that there was a new US policy where we would know longer do the fighting for them but if they took the lead we would have their back. We was excoriated in the media for this trip and called naive and disrespectful for going to Saudi Arabia first instead of doing like former presidents and going to one of our long time allies first.
Subsequently, Saudi Arabia has kept that Sunni coalition together and has been having numerous meetings discussing how to deal with terrorism and Iranian expansion including in Yemen where nobody has been watching and they have been making significant military gains against the Iranian backed Houthi rebels and I predict very soon in Lebanon against Hezbollah. And I have no doubt that Israel has been a part of a lot of this behind the scenes.
In short, yes, I think this is directly related to what we are now seeing in Iran.

I think if PDT handles this well, he could collapse the Iranian regime. It is a hollow farce and it is doomed.
At least without an Islamist president the protestors have a chance at support from the U.S. that is more than words.

I'm sure TGE has taken the gloves off on covert operations to do stuff like destabilize govts. and that sort of shit.
There was a story I read about him. Some general (who it was, didn't say) came to him for his approval of doing something in Syria/Iraq against ISIS. Something that (under previous rules) required presidential authorization.
Trump asked, "Well, what does the guy in charge on the ground say?"
"He's wants to do this, he's asking".
Trump: "Well, what the hell are you asking me for?! Do it!"
There's something I remember about a similar moment with Reagan.
Anyway, I'm sure that's what Trump has done with the black ops people. "Do it!"

I don't think so. I think this is what people are missing about the whole Russia investigation.
Trump plans. It's what he's done his whole professional life. He has a public persona which looks chaotic and aimless and he has a private life where he plans things meticulously. He didn't get to be president against all odds and a corrupt government plotting against him by just going "hold my beer and watch this".
He thinks about things intently and has a great group of people around him who work behind the scenes while he does the Donald thing.
He didn't just decide to go to Saudi Arabia on his first foreign trip or move the embassy to Jerusalem because. It was all part of a plan.

When you have a just and fair ruler, and at least moderately decent staff, monarchies work really well.
It's that whole "but when you don't..." that makes them so, so terrible.
OTOH, having a constitutional republic or representative federal state or whatever we're calling ourselves (not a democracy!) isn't always great either.

I'm afraid you're right. The vast majority of people want to be taken care of. They're actively afraid of freedom, because they could fail without a safety net.
People on the right side of the bell curve are more likely to want freedom. The people on the left side want no part of it. And some people on the right side don't want it either.
Which leads me to the conclusion that the people who truly want freedom are in the minority. And that probably has something to do with why the Founders wanted nothing to do with "democracy".

Thank God this is Barrett's last game.

Not like you need that strong of coverage more than 15 yards downfield. Probably should have beaten Wisconsin by 3 touchdowns if the Buckeyes had a QB that could throw an accurate deep ball.

I think the whole Liberator pistol program was a giant waste of effort and resources. Very few of them ever got distributed. And if you are going to arm an insurgency in enemy-held territory, the last thing you want to do is to give them weapons that are unmistakeably made by you. Simply being in possession of a Liberator pistol, or a .45 cartridge would have been a death sentence in occupied France. It would have made more sense to manufacture cheap knockoffs of Nazi pistols, chambered to use Nazi ammo. That would at least have caused some degree of puzzlement to Gestapo agents investigating the deaths of occupiers or collaborators. Was it Resistance action, or a private vendetta?
In the case of Iran, I'd want to find out what are the standard-issue sidearms issued to Iranian cops, military, and Revolutionary Guard, and purchase or make knockoffs of same, and deliver those to the Resistance. Plausible deniability.

I am DONE defending Northwestern! lol
On the other hand, I see Kentucky beat a couple of good teams this year, and barely lost to a couple of others. But they got their asses pounded by the really good teams, which is par for the course with mediocre teams. (See: Detroit Lions) That this basketball school fielded a pretty-decent football team this year is the real story. That Northwestern actually competes on a week-to-week basis these days is the other real story -- I remember when they struggled every year to win a game or two.

Iran has a "morality police" sort of like Saudi. They go around making sure women are dressing like Western whores.
They've also been known to crack down on men going shirtless and wearing shorts.

All of that base infrastructure was to support the out-of-area Somalia anti-piracy patrols. The JMSDF and Chinese Navies were part of the forces off the coast of Somalia.
The Chinese had a very tough time at first, as dd the Japanese. Both did not have a lot of logistic tail for at-sea replenishment, hence the port-side bases.
ISTR the Chinese said Japanese divers were driven off before a Chinese ship in port was inspected, in one incident I heard about. Still with the bad blood between those naval forces.

Also remember if Iran goes down so does Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. From the reporting I am seeing the Iranian protesters are shouting anti-Hezbollah and anti-Hamas protests and no more Islamic republic.

It happened in IIRC Belgium or it might have been Holland when Britain decided to combine their two separate networks under one control. Then along comes a German SD plant saying he can get the Brits in touch with anti-Hitler factions. The local British agents did not want to deal with the possible double agent, but those in England said meet.
So a meeting was finally arranged just across from the German border. And before the locals could intervene, both British agents were nabbed and whisked back across the border where they spent the rest of the war in prison.

One reason the Germans were so effective in the Netherlands is that they had quite a few Dutch collaborators.

The big problem was SOE. The talent pool was not that deep then. There were many indications of issues, like agents transmitting duress codes without alarming the radio lasses in the UK.
Most of the agents were Dutch, and the Dutch thoroughly investigated this after the war, executing some turncoats
The best agent runners were MI-5,
there was never many of them, and their focus was deception. MI-6 and SOE should have been aligned, but for some reason MI-6 did not have as good a war.

My understanding was that they made a major mistake in not compartmentalizing and running in agents cold, but rather running in new agents to join a unified - but thoroughly penetrated - group.

Over-simplified, the current regime represents the "extreme" in Iran, and they've overseen nearly 40 years of domestic tyranny and murder, international terrorism unlike any other, and regional expansion of influence to where they are the principal problem for the US and its partners in the region. Not to mention collaboration with their Axis of Evil pariah partner, North Korea, on nukes and ballistic missiles.
It's difficult to see how any new regime would *not* be a big improvement. The worst external aspects of the regime do not really have wide support or resonance in other political elements there.

One of the many, many rather neon-flashing signs of trouble were reports from pilots of the jump aircraft that the landing zones were too perfect - well lit, and empty. And - mysteriously - most of the bombers were jumped by Luftwaffe fighters immediately upon starting their return leg to the UK.

I just watched a movie on Netflix about a Dutch policemen that convinced Jews that he was on their side, took their money, apartments, jewelry etc and said he would smuggled them out, but he just turned them over to the Germans and kept everything. The bastard got away with it.
The Dutch being nice people charged the Jews for back taxes and utilities after the war.

That's a good executive summary. Poor tradecraft.
The Brits were stretched for resources and trained personnel at that point. They had a pretty successful secret war in WWII, but this was one of the operations they failed at. Hard to be 100% when the enemy gets a vote too.
