Iran is both the richest and poorest of Middle Eastern countries.

By all accounts, the people of Iran should have the highest standard of living in the Middle East due to their oil, but instead the vast majority are the poorest as 80% of them live below the poverty line.

While billionaires increased at a rate of 6% around the world during the Pandemic, in Iran they increased by 21%. But this all happened when there was no economic growth in Iran. Instead, it is a system where all the wealth is literally being sucked from the population, along with oil revenue, to pad the bank accounts of the despotic leaders and to wage war around the Middle East.

That almost sounds like Zionist propaganda. Not a mention of the number of western sanctions against Iran over decades. Same for Venezuela.

To give you a taste of just how destitute they all are, before Trump attacked them they offered the people $7 to stop protesting.

That is how much they have suffered.

In the few pictures and videos from inside Iran over the years, I've never noticed the homeless problem we have here in the US. The place appears much cleaner than many locations here.

I'm trying to convey a message here, and that is, the more of a problem you become for the world and your people, the higher the likelihood of them wanting to stop you.

For example, Al Capone ran soup kitchens. Why? It was to give himself legitimacy, so that anyone who wanted to bring him to justice would point to him helping the poor, asking them if they wanted to stop helping the poor folk by putting him behind bars.

It just so happened that, that simply was not enough after a while.

To take a more recent example, we have César Chavez accused of sexually abusing young girls Epstein style. But the Left coverred for him and said nothing. Why? Because they viewed his usefulness to their cause above trying to bring him to justice.

César Chavez accused of sexually abusing labor rights leader Dolores Huerta and others

Labor rights activist Dolores Huerta revealed she was among women and girls who say they were sexually abused by César Chavez, the long-admired Latino icon, while he led the United Farm Workers union.

Dolores Huerta, one of the under aged girls he abused, said she stayed silent for 60 years out of concern that her words would hurt the farmworker movement.

But after Cesar became old and not as useful to their movement, they will now throw him under the bus apparently. He simply did not keep himself useful enough to remain untouchable.

Do you also deny that the Iranians murdered about 30,000 of their protestors?

If so, do you also believe that the Holocaust never happened?

Just curious.

Good question since the Iranian regime won't allow people to communicate to the rest of the world.

Iran Protest Death Toll Could Top 30,000: Local Officials

According to two senior officials of the country’s Ministry of Health who spoke with TIME.

time.com

As many as 30,000 people could have been killed in the streets of Iran on Jan. 8 and 9 alone, two senior officials of the country’s Ministry of Health told TIME—indicating a dramatic surge in the death toll. So many people were slaughtered by Iranian security services on that Thursday and Friday, it overwhelmed the state’s capacity to dispose of the dead. Stocks of body bags were exhausted, the officials said, and eighteen-wheel semi-trailers replaced ambulances.

Considering that our government and most governments in the western world forced their citizens to take toxic experimental serums into their bodies 5 years ago, I'm not sure of the validity of your question.

Your own article says "could have". My bet is that your worldview is generated by the mainstream media.

Regarding the holocaust, my opinion is that it happened, but I think the numbers have been vastly exaggerated. The Zionists are masters of deception by way of propaganda.

Well, as bad as it was for Biden to force Americans to take the vaccine, at least they have the freedom to speak out against it now, as where before Biden and the Dims controlled social media as anyone who talked about the bad effects of the vaccine were banned from social media and declared enemies of science.

Elon taking over Twitter and exposing the government collusion to ban speech regarding the vaccine, as well as other things like the Hunter laptop, was a good thing.

Imagine if the DNC had won another election. The US may well be Iran today.

From the damage it is inflicting upon the Zionist State, Iran may become the savior of civilized society. Strong irony in that observation.

A second example of what I am talking about is Hitler. HItler was terrified of uprisings that occured during WW1 in Germany due to the low living standards, so he made sure all his money went to two things, the welfare state and the war effort

He made sure that his own people did not want him dead.

In fact, Germany had the highest living standard of any country in the world during the war.

Thankfully though, he failed because he was a strategic idiot who insisted that he was always the smartest person in the room and he was a drug addict, so the world dodged a bullet.

The US government also takes the same approach as Hitler because all of their money goes to the welfare state and its various war efforts around the world. But the verdict remains out on how long it can sustain such mass debt.

Ironically, Libya is also an oil rich nation that under Gaddafi had its citizens having the highest standard of living in all of Africa as he used the oil revenue to actually benefit his own people. Crazy I know.

However, the EU begged Obama to take him out, so that is what he did.
