The regime has throttled both the internet and mobile usage in an unprecedented fashion as the 16th of Azar (December 7th) student’s day protests approach. As of this morning the situation has reached undescribable proportions to the point where opening a single webpage takes up to a half hour.
Internet services and providers have entirely been overtaken by various opaque and transparent elements of the Islamist regime; it is clear that an ordinance issued by the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and officials from the National Security Committee has ordered and intimidated various internet providers into complying.
As previously stated, it has been a while that important sites such as Facebook and other social networking outlets have been rendered unusable by the users and members inside Iran, so much so that it is impossible for any item, article or information to be posted.
The regime clearly feels trapped and has become so desperate that other than disabling all means of communication, every night it’s plain clothes militia pour out into the streets, trolling the various areas of the cities. In a pathetic show of force they parade around the avenues, streets and alleys of Tehran, while people chant from their rooftops slogans such as : “Canons, guns, Basiji, prison, torture or execution; has no effect on us anymore”¹.
These so-called government officials should by all means go ahead and do what they want and not hold back. However after all that is said and done, on Monday, 16th of Aban (December 7th) millions of Iranian will come out into the streets and participate and palpable multitudes throughout our nation will stand shoulder to shoulder; we will once again rise against those very officials and strike a blow against them so much so that the result will reverberate across the globe.
The bosses of this Islamist supremacy a top of which sits Seyyed Ali Khamenei should be well aware of the fact that his life and that of his sinister regime has come to the twilight of it’s existence.
On the 16th of Azar (December 7th) the people of Iran will once again step forward and take action and anything that the tyrants want to do will no longer have any effect on us.
