THE ROTTED GARDEN OF PARADISE

In 1979 the Iranian people were promised utopia. What the Islamic Republic has given them has been war, poverty, the degradation of their race and culture, and the world’s contempt. Where is Justice in Iran to defend the defenseless? Where is Justice in Iran for the weak and powerless? Where is Justice to condemn the evil and the corrupt that prey upon Iran and her ancient and noble people? The Iranian people are calling upon Justice for the past 29 years and it is nowhere to be found in their homes, their schools, their courts, their mosques.

Before the Revolution the BBC allowed Khomeini to manipulate the poor people of Iran, not so much by pledging to implement a free and just society, as to entice them with promises of free goods and services: free transportation, no utility bills and 75 Tomans to boot! Khomeini spun fairy tales of a Utopian free-riding society beyond the wildest imagination. There were those who bought into the Ayatollah’s twisted hybrid of socialist Islam and overthrew the Pahlavi Dynasty.

Then the reality of the 1979 Revolution came quickly to the people. Khomeini promised a utopia but created a war-weary, poverty-stricken dystopia; where accusations of sedition are common and personal safety and security has become the luxury for mullahs and those who serve them. A once proud and cosmopolitan Iran has become a place where ethnic and religious minorities no longer possess any real rights. It has become a place where women have been reduced to little more than breeders, their value measured in the number of future thugs and informants, lackeys and cannon fodder they’ll provide for the Islamic Republic. While the mullahs of the Islamic regime judge all other religions to be superstitious ignorance, they pervert the majesty of Shi’a Islam with political blasphemies.

Justice and the truth once again will prevail in Iran, shining like the sun, dispersing the darkness of oppression. The time is soon coming when there will no longer be any doubts about who are the friends of Iranians and who are their enemies. That time of reckoning is coming closer and closer, day by day. The victims of the Islamic Republic of Iran shall not only be remembered, they will be avenged.
