We begin tonight’s edition of A Window to the Fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from the book of his collected works.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
We continue the program with a report on the forced demolition of houses around the Al Zahra Girls University’s campus to expand it.
These houses have been there for the last 70 years and are the only shelter for the hardworking families who live in them. Now a regime whose minister’s daughter has been charged with corruption and hoarding millions of dollars worth of essential drugs for thousands of sick and needy Iranians has decided to expand a university for girls!!
The minister, Nematzadeh, pretends that he lives a simple and modest life but together with his daughter has amassed millions of dollars by importing out of date drugs from across the world.
Another thief, Rustam Ghassemi, who served as Ahmadinejad’s oil minister, has made more than $2billion from the commissions that he had received in oil deals with European and Asian companies, but no one has been able to touch him and bring him to justice because he is not alone in this corruption and his bribes to judiciary officials provide him with impunity.
Khamenei and his cronies like Ali Akbar Velayati must be ashamed of themselves if they had the slightest of integrity when they see that people’s homes are being demolished onto their heads.
We continue the program with the news of Rouhani appearing in the Majles to explain to the useless MPs why his economic policy has landed the country in the current mess and crisis.
However, he has confessed that before he went to the Majles he held a long meeting with Khamenei to receive his “advice” on what he should talk about!
What a load of nonsense. A man who has received 18 million votes to defend the rights of the people and speak for them has instead gone to receive the “advice” of the very person who is an ally and protector of the thieves who have caused this crisis, chief amongst them the Revolutionary Guard commanders. So much for his title of president!
May be Rouhani received his answer from the Iranian people for this humiliation when MP Haydari said in the Majles that the president and the parliament in the Islamic republic are nobody and useless.
Some people argue that the regime has seen off more serious socio-economic crisis in the past and may survive this one as well.
These people forget the fact that today the Iranian people do not just oppose this regime, they hate its existence and despise anything that is associated with its vile ideology.
The only way that this regime can survive would be through more repression and crackdowns, but even those measures have now run out of steam and the more it shows its iron fist, the sooner it will fall apart.
