This is the nation, the regime, the EVIL, yes, pure plain to see and know EVIL that the American government has bent over backward to aid, appease, and abet. Working feverishly on a nuclear deal that totally favored the Iranian government to continue enriching uranium to weapons grade, to continue their nuclear weapons program, to continue unabated in their white-hot evil hatred of Israel, of Jews, of the West, of Christians, of anyone anywhere not an Islamist — to kill them. Remove them. Enslave them. Lie to them. Torture them. Wreck endless terrorism and atrocities upon them.

Unless dealt with as they ought to be treated and dealt with.

Those in the U.S. government doing the appeasing and Iran favors of unspeakable evil are cut off one of only two kinds of cloth;

Either so evil within and complicit they do not care to openly aid Iran and the Islamist jihadists in their pursuits.

Or, so downright stupid, naive, and clueless as to history, Islam, and reality they are responding like people suffering mass massive head trauma and then having group lobotomies.

Because no one in their rational, critical thinking, logical, reasoning and aware minds could or would endeavor to do what many in the U.S. government have done now for years with regard to Iran.

Money does not bring peace. Nor a change in beliefs.

The U.S. government in the past number of years has unfrozen over $15,000,000,000 in Iranian assets, removed sanctions on Iranian oil which makes Iran rich, and worked to remove all sanctions on Iran which will result in a $90,000,000,000 surge in income to Iran. Not to mention the latest ransom payoff of $6,000,000,000.

To a nation that daily either by their leaders, or their people marching in the streets shouts “Death to Israel, Death to America! Death to the West!”

The Iranian police, hardcore Islamists abiding by Sharia Law, beat Masha Amimi so brutally that they caused her to become brain-dead. And eventually, die. All because they didn’t like how she was wearing her mandatory headscarf too loosely.

Yet we do the bidding of Iran. We bow to Iran. Iran, the country, the regime that makes Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamist terrorism possible, the country and regime growing closer by the day to having a fully functioning and capable nuclear weapons program with long-range highly capable missiles to carry the nuclear payloads.

Imagine that…

Iran Sentences 2 Journalists for Collaborating With U.S. Both Covered Mahsa Amini’s Death

A court in Iran sentenced two female journalists to up to seven years in prison for “collaborating” with the United States government among other charges, local reports said. Both have been imprisoned for over a year following their coverage of the death of Mahsa Amini while in police custody in Sept. 2022.

This is a preliminary sentencing that can be appealed in 20 days.

The two journalists, Niloufar Hamedi, who broke the news of Amini’s death for wearing her headscarf too loosely, and Elaheh Mohammadi, who wrote about her funeral, were sentenced to seven and six years in jail respectively, reported the judiciary news website, Mizan on Sunday.

Tehran Revolutionary Court charged them with “collaborating with the hostile American government,” “colluding against national security” and “propaganda against the system,” according to Mezan.

Hamedi worked for the reformist newspaper Shargh while Mohammadi for Ham-Mihan. They were detained in September 2022.

In May, the United Nations awarded them both its premier prize for press freedom “for their commitment to truth and accountability.”

Amini’s death touched off months-long protests in dozens of cities across Iran. The demonstrations posed one of the most serious challenges to the Islamic Republic since the 2009 Green Movement protests drew millions to the streets.

While nearly 100 journalists were arrested amid the demonstrations, Hamedi and Elaheh Mohammadi’s reporting was crucial in the days after Amini’s death to spread the word about the anger that followed.

Their detentions have sparked international criticism over the bloody security force crackdown that lasted months after Amini’s death.

Since the protests began, at least 529 people have been killed in demonstrations, according to Human Rights activists in Iran. Over 19,700 others have been detained by authorities amid a violent crackdown trying to suppress the dissent. Iran for months has not offered any overall casualty figures, while acknowledging tens of thousands had been detained.
