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 look at the ongoing water shortage crisis in Iran and how the mafia-type interest groupings have caused this crisis.
Iran has had water shortage problem in the past as well but during the rule of the late Mohammad Reza Shah, with the construction of Amir Kabir damn the problem had been solved fully.
In addition, Iran had always benefitted from the existence of Ghanats underground canals that used to supply fresh water to rural communities. All those vital resources now seem to have evaporated under the incompetent Islamic republic regime and the Iranians appreciate how the late Shah had provided them with this vital service.
And this was when the thieves had not taken over Iran. As the current regime does not have any feeling for the country and its people, they do not care if its corrupt middlemen now sell the drinking water to the nation at extortionate prices.
This is the regime that executed Mansour Rouhani the former competent minister for water and electricity supplies during the Shah’s time, on charges of being a Baha’i. The late post-revolution premier Mehdi Bazargan cried for Rouhani’s death and said Rouhani lived in a small house as a minister but had served the nation so honestly. But nowadays everywhere you go in Iran thieves are ruling over it.
Just look at Abbas Araghchi, the deputy Foreign Minister. All his brothers are the heads of several chambers of commerce who receive government’s reduced rate US dollars and trade them at double the value in black markets.
Now Mohammad Bagher Nobakht, the spokesperson for the Rouhani government, has asked the Iranian people to hand over their gold to the state to help solve the economic crisis of the country.
He must have heard something about the South Korean government asking the same demand some years ago, but he forgets the fact that the South Korean people were not handing over their gold reserves to a bunch of thieves like the ones who rule over Iran, but to a government that they trusted would invest it for the good of its people and future generations.
One needs to tell Mr. Nobakhat that charity starts at home. Ask your own family members and the family of your “Supreme Leader” whom you obey, to come fore and hand overt their massive wealth and tons of gold.
In the second part of the program we will discuss the unjust indictment against the young Iranian girl who had removed her scarf and how her belongings have been seized for personal use by the morality policewomen who work for the Tehran prosecutor Abbas Dolatabadi.
Stay with us for this edition of A Window to the fatherland and share it with your family and friends.
