Khamenei, and Basij and Ahmadinejad are the losing fraction in the right wing part of Islamic republic; Larijani Brothers will replace them sooner or later; Larijani Brothers are anti-Iranian like those elements mentioned above; but they have a sort of class consciousness, understand business and are different than those low class thugs above.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your spiteful and class-biased mentality comments. The Islamic Republic will remain in power with an ever better public support after improving relations with the west. MKO zealouts have no agenda left.
DeleteYes if I were an economically unproductive and therefor useless member of the society like you I would pray for Islamic republic to pay me for my loyalty; but since basijis are not a productive member of the society they will be downgraded because of their their economic uselessness; this has nothing to do with MKo; it is about economy
DeleteThe reason the regime uses these olaghs is because it has no "public support".
DeleteLONG GONE THE GOOD DAYS!
ReplyDeleteGONE are the days when Uskowi would take criticisms with dignity and go ahead publish comments even if seem to hit him!.But kudos to Mark for taking jabs every day,earning himself a FUNNY Name!.Now Nader don't you see that you are lifting yourself into something like a small god -super perfect,always right,no criticism!, -Take HEART ! MAN!!- and open up to criticism , it has a bright side!!.
MEANWHILE let us hope the NUTS here wont MAKE some 'discoveries ' THAT these drills are a Russ to train Hezbollah and special forces of SYRIA.
They should send these basiji goh va to saree khor badbakht to the Syrian front for martyrdom operations.
ReplyDeleteThis is why Khamenei wants the population to increase to 150 mil.
ReplyDeleteHe will have many more of these deprived, uneducated mass to use to stay in power.
I agree.They need havoons like these basiji beshoor to maintain their vile rule in Iran.
DeleteLong live the Basij, protectors of the Revolution!
DeleteBahram,what revolution man? If you would have said the protectors of khamenei and his cohorts then you would have been more believable!
DeleteThe Revolution that kicked out little reza and keeps the likes of you out of Iran!
Delete@little bahram,chill let me educate you. A revolution is when "little reza" as you claim tried to change a backward society stuck in its past with superstitions then tried to frog march it towards the 21st century.The people who couldn't tolerate it were the 7th century dregs of society namely the so-called "religious" class of ablahs aka the mullahs and their hayvoons. Oh by the way little bahram "the likes of" me is not only in Iran but in much greater numbers than before.
DeleteTo whom is this force accountable? Is it recognized by Iranian constitution? Where does its power and legitimacy come from?
ReplyDeletereader......To the arsonist of Cinima Rex that burned alive 400 innocent people aka khamenei chief
Deleteterrorist leader of islamic fascist regime.
