Riots have wracked Iran for eleven days, as of today.
This is the current iteration of anti-regime actions, dating back
decades, but this time, there is reason to believe it may work.
This
current iteration of riots was caused by a perfect storm of untrammeled
power and room temperature IQs. The chrysalis events were a collapsing
economy, rampant inflation, and widespread frustration with government
corruption and repression. And, of course, we can't forget Hezbollah
having its butt handed to it and President Trump audaciously taking out
Iran's previously untouchable nuclear program.

We
shouldn't get a case of "irrational exuberance" over the possibility of
Venezuela and Iran collapsing in the same month. If you've followed
Iran at all, you know the regime is tough and resilient. It will not
give up easily, because the next step for most supporters without Swiss
or Cayman Islands bank accounts will be up against the wall.
Or, in this case, Islamofascist Mother.
Unfortunately, the correct approach whenever you hear about “protests in Iran” is to wait and see.
The regime has survived countless protests that were supposed to have toppled it.

An
intelligence report cited by The Times says Iran’s supreme leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has prepared a contingency plan to leave Tehran,
potentially heading to Moscow, if unrest spreads nationwide and security
forces begin to defy orders.
The ambience is due, in no small part, to the exiled Shah Reza
Pahlavi. He has made himself the focal point of a resurgent Persia,
succeeding a crippled Iran.
🚨
Reza Pahlavi’s address to all armed forces broadcast tonight from
loudspeakers in Bandar Abbas. Asking them to scan a QR code from Iran
international live on TV to register their defections. “It is your last
chance.”
این
پیامی مستقیم خطاب به نیروهای مسلح و امنیتی ایران است؛ شما که لباس نظامی
بر تن کردهاید تا از ملت ایران دفاع کنید، و اینک در معرض یک انتخاب
تاریخی قرار دارید.
در روزهایی که مردم شجاع و متحد ایران در حال ساختن و نوشتن تاریخ هستند، پرسش من از شما این است که در کدام سوی تاریخ… https://t.co/Bv7OS5Q8NF
This
is a direct message to the armed and security forces of Iran; you who
have donned the military uniform to defend the Iranian nation, and now
face a historic choice.
In these days when the brave and united
people of Iran are building and writing history, my question to you is:
on which side of history will you stand? With the criminals, or with the
people?
The issue is no longer whether the Islamic Republic,
this corrupt and oppressive regime, will fall or not; the issue is only
the timing of its fall: and that time is closer than ever before.
In
these fateful moments, I expect you to return to the embrace of the
nation and use your weapons not to fire upon the people, but to protect
them.
By doing so, you will not only fulfill your national duty, but also safeguard the future of yourselves and your families.
Six
months ago, I created the National Collaboration Platform as a secure
channel for declaring allegiance to the people for you. Thousands of you
registered on it. Now, with the resumption of Iran's national uprising
and the high volume of new requests, this platform has been upgraded to
ensure that each of you receives an immediate response.
If you
have previously registered and have not received a response, I ask you
to take action again. At present, the only secure way to register is
still by scanning the QR code during the live broadcast on Iran
International television.
This is your last chance to join the
nation and separate your fate from the sinking ship of the Islamic
Republic. The oppressors of the nation, and those who fire bullets at
the people, can be assured that they will be identified and punished.
Those who stand with the Iranian nation will be respected and honored nationally.
Long live Iran
Strong stuff. And it is being carried by Elon Musk's
constellation of Starlink satellites that prevent the mullahs from
controlling information flow in addition to facilitating organization.

My fellow countrymen, today, Wednesday January 7th, your presence across Iran was unprecedented.
And this constitutes a declaration of readiness for tomorrow’s plan (the call for Thursday January 8th, at 8 p.m.).
Of course, reports have reached us that the regime is deeply frightened and is attempting, once again, to cut off the internet.
Know
that our communication will not be severed. Whether through the
hundreds of thousands of Starlink devices in Iran, or through the Iran
International and Manoto television networks.
But if the regime
commits such a mistake and cuts the internet, that itself will be
another call to continue your presence and to take over the streets. In
this way, you will drive yet another nail into the coffin of this
regime.
You will be victorious. Long live Iran!
This may not sound like much, but it resonates deeply in Iranian history.
Massive
popular protests started by chants in support of the Shah led to Iran's
communist prime minister, Mohammed Mosaddegh, being overthrown in 1953.
The people know this. The mullahs know this. For the Shah to go this
far out on a limb, he has to have popular backing or he is flirting with
irrelevance.
Tomorrow is critical. If no one shows up at the
appointed hour, these demonstrations will fizzle. If there is a massive
turnout, I think we can expect to see police and military units
switching sides and Khameini and his butt boys heading for Moscow.
