US State Department Hints At Iran Overthrow: Are We Witnessing The Early Stages Of Regime Change?

US State Department Hints At Iran Overthrow: Are We Witnessing The Early Stages Of Regime Change? thumbnail

The US State Department has issued a formal condemnation of the Iranian government following two days of economic protests centering in a handful of cities, calling the regime “a rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos” while announcing support for protesters. It fits a familiar script which seems to roll out when anyone protests for any reason in a country considered an enemy of the United States (whether over economic grievances or full on calling for government overthrow).

The statement by spokesperson Heather Nauert, released late on Friday, further comes very close to calling for regime change in Iran when it asserts the following:

On June 14, 2017, Secretary Tillerson testified to Congress that he supports “those elements inside of Iran that would lead to a peaceful transition of government.Those elements are there, certainly as we know.”The Secretary today repeats his deep support for the Iranian people.

Though most current reports strongly suggest protests are being driven fundamentally by economic grievances, the US has already framed this week’s events inside Iran as revolutionary in nature and as aiming for “transition of government”. On Friday evening White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted the following statement:

Reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with the regime’s corruption and its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. The Iranian government should respect their people’s rights including their right to express themselves. The world is watching.

The media is already promoting a regime change narrative

As we noted during our initial coverage of Thursday’s protests, Israeli as well as Iranian opposition media commentators (and of course pundits in the US mainstream) have generally appeared giddy with excitement at the prospect that protests could spread inside Iran, potentially culminating in society-wide resistance and possible change in government. It goes without saying that Iran has been enemy #1 for the United States and Israel since the Islamic Revolution and embassy hostage crisis beginning in 1979.

Consider for example this major Israeli international broadcast network, which in an English language interview segment covering the very beginnings of (relatively small and limited) protests Thursday quickly linked the Tehran government with use of chemical weapons in Syria, supporting the “biggest butcher in this region Bashar al-Assad”, and facilitating the killing of civilians:

Simultaneously the resident “expert” presents the protesters as condemning these things while yearning for freedom and democracy. He can barely contain himself while repeating “It’s spontaneous! It’s spontaneous!… and could be more spontaneous! …it inspires people to go out more! …Because it’s spontaneous these two are combustible mixtures”:

Other tweets and statements from the generally pro regime-change media and the experts which frequent their panels seem very eager to prematurely cast this as a ‘revolution’:

…And notably (just above) the Saudi royal family owned Al-Arabiya is presenting the Iran protests in terms of women’s rights.

Are we witnessing regime change agents hijacking economic protests?

Further to this point, the always excellent Moon of Alabama blog explores the possibility that what we are witnessing is the beginning of a covert regime change operation in Iran, similar the story of the war in Syria.

    And the US keeps whining over alleged Russian interfering in US elections with zero proof while they are clearly busy overthrowing regimes not yet part of the empire, like Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Libya..

    They will never stop until they have the entire world under control. It is time for a European alliance with Russian and China. A hard violent Brexit could be a nice start. It is time for a regime change in the US.

    Voltaire: “In his ”Letter of Memmius to Cicero” (1771), Voltaire, in the pose of an ancient Roman reporting on the Jews, wrote: ”They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.”

    And the Americans are their enablers. It all began with their systematic mass murder of Germany. They should not think for a moment this will not backfire on them personally.

    Russia did meddle in the election they hacked into the voting machines and rigged the election for trump. That is why the exit polls showed Hillary won. And they hacked into the voter registries weeks before the election in Illinois, Florida, and Arizona. Several media sources reported this well before the election. And Europe will never turn away from the US for Russia and the Chinese? LOL Are you on drugs? And wow someone in ancient history was an anti Semite? You realize Christians persecuted the jews for over 1k years during the dark ages for killing Christ..? You just want to rebel against some group you feel is more powerful than you. Its pathetic. Israel is the only free democracy in the entire middle east…You are such a pathetic loser Clog..Get a life and a job and move out of your moms basement..Stop complaining about others.

  7. Davy on Sun, 31st Dec 2017 5:18 am 

    The Americans and others are surely targeting Iran but please the Iranians are highly intelligent and proud. The Iranians are much more a cultural force than what a covert effort by the Americans could destabilize. This is not a multi-cult Syria. This is a homogeneous Persian Iran. If there is much American influence in these protest it is inept and dysfunctional. The real issue is organic public feelings for a system that is unfair and with a country growing too large for its capabilities. The Iranian population is huge and young compared to just 20 years ago. The Iranian people want more of what everyone wants and that is opportunity and affluence. The country cannot provide that and be a regional military power. Something is giving as something always does when countries like Iran want it all. Just see what happened to Venezuela. Yea, blame the Americans but I imagine their efforts are miniscule compared to what is really going on. Perhaps they lit a few matches like we saw in the US election with paid demonstrators. Sometimes matches are all that is needed but you need fuel also. Organic public discontent is very much the reason for what is going on.

  8. Cloggie on Sun, 31st Dec 2017 5:31 am 

    Oh yeah we still have to finish this discussion we started a few days ago, you mass murder apologist POS.

    http://peakoil.com/generalideas/john-michael-greer-systems-that-suck-less/comment-page-6#comments

    Do you have any proof for your statement that Germany wanted to conquer the world?

    I have already repeatedly shown to you that that fraud “Justice” Jackson and chieftain of the Nuremberg victors tribunal had to admit to his Alllied partners in crime that the Germans were innocent:

    http://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/jack37.asp

    “MR. JUSTICE JACKSON. I really think that this trial, if it should get into an argument over the political and economic causes of this war, could do infinite harm, both in Europe, which I don’t know well, and in America, which I know fairly well. If we should have a prolonged controversy over whether Germany invaded Norway a few jumps ahead of a British invasion of Norway, or whether France in declaring war was the real aggressor, this trial can do infinite harm for those countries with the people of the United States. And the same is true of our Russian relationships. The Germans will certainly accuse all three of our European allies of adopting policies which forced them to war. The reason I Say that is that captured documents which we have always made that claim-that Germany would be forced into war. They admit they were planning war, but the captured documents of the Foreign Office that I have examined all come down to the claim, “We have no way out; we must fight; we are encircled; we are being strangled to death.””

    You can’t get it any clearer than this that he admits that he couldn’t find any proof that the Germans were waging aggressive war and that the Germans felt that they were the ones who were attacked and “strangled to death”.

    Standard strategy of Davy the Eastern European punk is to refuse any real debate. Just keep one shouting “Nazi racist”. He will never make any statement regarding WW2, because he knows all to well that if he does he will be drawn into a discussion he will lose, because this lightweight knows he is no match against a European.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P7GT0E-5dU

    Now be a man and defend yourself against the allegation that it was Washington that intentionally set up the war against Germany for no other purpose than the colonize Europe and accept the murder of millions of innocent people in the process. And that the time has arrived for the world to take drastic actions against the world’s only terrorist organization:

    It is interesting that Davy receives no aid from anybody, not even from apneaman, whose tribe was responsible for WW2.

    Apneaman is not going to burn his fingers on this one because he knows the truth, unlike television-zombie Davy.

    The rabid colorful Nazi is consumed with greed and hate. He is a disgusting example of all that is wrong with late term civilization and much of the reason we are destine for conflict. He is arguably from one of the richest regions in the world but he is not satisfied with that. He wants MOAR and thinks he deserves it. His pride is hurt because his little region is not an empire. His solution is a Paris Berlin Moscow empire nonsense that is a fantasy. He has read too many stories of the great Nederlander people and their exploits. He wants his shameful Nazi past erased with a revisionism. He whines about being oppressed and the victim. This is just subterfuge for a disgusting greed and racial hate that Nazi’s represent. He should be accepting blame but his is doing just the opposite.

    Yes, the Americans are horrible but you Eurotards created the Americans and you screwed up the 20th century so the Americans could become an empire. Take responsibility for that you dumbasses besides you have don quite well with the American empire. The US became an empire because you Eurotards pissed your empire away in a grand and destructive fashion.

    There are likely no more empires ahead at least until the world comes apart into something new. I imagine that coming a part will be the end of civilization altogether in a long drawn out process of decline. Empires occur when there is something to empire over. We are all going to be grabbing our asses fighting for survival including little nederland.

  11. Cloggie on Sun, 31st Dec 2017 7:19 am 

    Note that as expected Davy avoids any discussion about WW2 and flees in abstractions and continous to shout “Nazi”, the smearword of the US empire, that thank God, is about to collapse.

    Good article worth reading on geopolitical instability

    “Military & Political Trends Of 2017 That Will Shape 2018”
    https://tinyurl.com/yd3cly6f

    “As 2017 comes to a close, it becomes evident that this year, has been a difficult one, for all of mankind. The world trembled over new threats of large-scale regional conflicts and over potential use of the weapons of mass destruction. The year brought considerable escalations between key global players, which created real risks of direct confrontation. At the same time, 2017 can be coined as the year, when the threat known as ISIS, a proxy terrorist state, was eliminated. It was the year when global powers were compelled to compromise under the most stringent conditions and amid multiple conflicts. International players, capable of rigorous logic and in-depth analysis, will extricate valuable lessons from 2017, which can help make the world safer. However, experience shows that emotions, poise and ill-conceived projects often triumph over common sense. The result, is a breakdown of pragmatic and balanced approaches of traditional diplomacy. Rudeness and incivility are becoming more common within the spheres of international organizations and in bilateral relations. Ambitions of small elite-based groups force countries and nations, to adopt models of behavior which clearly contradict their interests. Unfortunately, all of this precludes a bright prognosis for 2018. The world will not become safer. Relationships between major global powers will remain strained at best. Likely, they will deteriorate. The number of small-scale regional conflicts will not decrease. The use of weapons of mass destruction will remain a real threat within the framework of regional conflicts. Levels of terrorist activity may rise. One can only hope, that this combination of threats and provocations, will lead to a re-assessment of reality and force de-escalation in the subsequent years.”

    Mastermind: “Russia did meddle in the election they hacked into the voting machines and rigged the election for trump. That is why the exit polls showed Hillary won.”

    In the U.S. it is not who wins the vote, it is who wins the count. The R party is far ahead of everyone in ballot counting ability. While both duopoly parties tamper when they can, those who control the electronic balloting machinery are the ones who decide U.S. elections. Unfortunately, there is no way to prove or disprove this allegation since the evidence is suppressed as was clearly seen in the Jill Stein recount effort. I think the implication is definitely that the vote count was manipulated and that Clinton lost to Sanders and Trump lost to Clinton. The idea that the Russians did it is laughable, but the relentless propaganda is not funny.

    Yes there is it’s called the exit polls. Exit polls have always been the gold standard around the world to make sure elections were accurate. And states in Illinois, Florida and Arizona reported Russia hacked into their voting registration systems weeks before the election. And there was that NSA leakier who showed that the government knew Russia meddled…Stop sucking Putins cock. He is like a Mafia boss. There’s no freedom in Russia and theres no middle class. Just 1 percent rich with Putin and mafia bosses and 99 percent poor and stupid.

    Klinton and the Democrats got their ass kicked because of corruption and pride. This is the reality of the big picture. It was a close election with all kinds of unsavory help on both sides. The primary issue is the democrats should have had this election in their pocket and they just failed miserably because of negligence of a rotten leadership. Failure starts with Obama. He should have known better than to allow a corrupt family like the klintons have his support. He knew what was going on. The election should never even been close. To lose an election like this last one that should have been a slam dunk is truly historically amazing. All the resulting whining, blaming, and further corruption is just more manifestation of FAILURE.

    Oh boy, the paranoia. Good to see the propaganda is working. Trump is right, it’s ALL fake news. Simply put, Trump lost the popular vote but won the most electoral collage votes. Just like Bush 2 did in 00. Who cares, right? The media didn’t spent the next year claiming the Bushes stole that election even though it took a supreme court judge to stop Al Gore getting a rerun in Florida. Lets not go there….. We all know what came next. Bushs business partners (literally the bin ladens) attacked America (that’s still unresolved, aka the 28 pages…) then there is that name Trump won’t release from the jfk files, who was the Dallas station chief in 63? I think he was recently accused of sexual harassment. Hmmm, not much media commentary bout that either.
    America is like any country, that includes all the bad ones, why? Its run by people, and people are weak, corrupt and flawed. Its hubris to think you are better than other people just cause you think your system of governance and justice is different. We are all fucked in 2018.

    “Crisis For Mueller: Lindsey Graham Demands New Special Counsel To investigate Trump Dossier & FBI”
    https://tinyurl.com/ycf3mwzy

    “What this situation urgently calls for is a new Special Counsel – ideally a retired federal judge rather than an investigator or prosecutor – able to send his investigators into the Justice Department and the FBI rather than have to plead with them and cajole them for answers. I suspect that the thing which is preventing this from happening – apart obviously from the resistance of the Justice Department and the FBI themselves – is resistance to this idea from those Republicans in Congress like Marco Rubio who continue to be so embittered against Donald Trump that they are still willing the Russiagate investigation to succeed. The stakes however could not be higher. If what actually happened during the 2016 election is not investigated then it really does risk becoming what Lindsey Graham said – “the new normal” – with future administrations and political campaigns commissioning ‘research’ to get the US’s intelligence and security agencies to carry out surveillance on their opponents during elections. Not only would that shift the conduct of US politics – already deeply corrupted by ‘dark money’ financing and lobbying – further towards backstairs wire-pulling, but it would risk entrenching the position of the US’s intelligence and security agencies as the final arbiters of elections. Needless to say where that ever to happen the US constitution would no longer function and the US would cease to be a democracy. Short term political calculations and questions of ‘inconvenience’ cannot be allowed to apply in such a situation. Anyone who really cares about the future of the United States should understand this and support Lindsey Graham’s demand for a second Special Counsel to be appointed.”

So I started my own thread and the deniers went ape shit again. And then I was banned for a month. And I came back and posted a few more links and then they banned me for life? This was the second time I have been banned from a peak oil blog for talking about peak oil. The same thing happened to me on the peakoilbarrel.

    If you want to prevent the geopolitical unification of the Eurasian landmass controlling or destroying Russia, Iran, and Turkey is of paramount importance. “Syria is done. Let’s move on and destroy Iran next”. Twisted fucks!
    I just hope the US government starts spending more money in the USA and less money abroad. Those dollars could do a lot of good back home. My guess is that most US taxpayers are not happy about this. It would make more sense to spend our tax dollars in healthcare, education, renewable energy infrastructure, efficient housing, transportation. I would be happy to pay taxes to a government like that. Now, I only pay what my accountant tells and wish I could select how they spend it. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could tell them how to spend our money?

    Dear Reader,

    Here are five peer reviewed scientific studies authored by top experts that prove beyond any reasonable doubt that global civilization will collapse within the next decade.

    Simple really….when the World Economy Collapses everything shuts down…the end….we’re talking about grids and JIT systems down all over the world and 7.5B people dropping like f*** flies in short order…The collapse will be absolutely horrible..There is no collapse or horror movie ever produced that has even come close to imagining what the collapse of BAU might look like. I’m talking about every corporation and every social program going bankrupt at once.I’m talking about people eating people. I’m talking about the Worst Catastrophe to ever happen in the history of mankind. Nothing has ever, or will ever come close.

    Happy New Year!

    Juan, it would be the first time in the history of the US, The Trillion plus spent on the Military Industrial Complex would go a long way to returning the US to a First World level. But that is not going to happen. The plan is to do just the opposite. It is now Second Class headed for Third. TPTB are not Americans. They are One Worlders. The Great Leveling is necessary to accomplish their goal of a One World Government. All we can do is watch it happen. The will to revolt is brainwashed out of Americans.

    You are a very paranoid person. Notice you can’t even name one person of the so called ‘TPTB”..And there will never be a one world government because there are around 200 countries in the world who almost all have leaders who live the high life. And you would have to get almost all of them to give up their status and power and lifestyle… And you could never get that many leaders to agree on anything.

    @ Joe

    Nice to have a true wingnut chime in from time to time. Your rant is an illogical compilation of beyond conspiratorial nonsense. I thought of tearing apart your post, but it would take too long and not make a bit of difference. It matters not the truth for you and other like minded nutters- if the truth is too incontrovertible, there’s always the Trump fallback response of, it’s fake news. Your philosophy is pure insanity for which there is no precedent in US history.

    Can you imagine President Dump speaking these words, “Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge; it’s common sense; it’s a moral imperative that all presidents have embraced; it’s non-negotiable…”

    Yes, only a liberal, climate change hoax believer would believe such ridiculousness, EXCEPT Ronald Reagan made this statement in his 1984 State of the Union speech, which demonstrates that Ronald Reagan is now to the left of the Republican party.

    Hm. So many White genosuicidists defecate here.  They like to imagine that the CFR, Brookings Institution, Southern Poverty Law Center, CNN, MSNBC, the CIA, Pentagonists and the rest of the Swamp are telling us the “truth.”  In their view, the First Amendment should be shut down (“moderated”), since only they are omniscient and must save the lower races from themselves at the expense of Whitey.  As they see it, the U.S. saved the planet from the nasty Nazis and is therefore and forever the Indispensable Nation.  It’s OK to mass-murder Whites if they disagree with the Judeo-Protestant Œdipalism (now Secular Humanist Œdipalism) that seeks to destroy the world in order to save it.  Carpet-bombing German civilians was such righteous fun.  And the victors (Jews and their sycophants) got to write the history books and produce the movies which justified all the fratricide.

    So now it’s Iran’s turn.  Nuking North Korea seems a little too dangerous at the moment, so let’s see if meanwhile we can regime-change the Persians with a little help from our NGOs and other termite agencies.

    The Potomac Swamp knows its time is limited because of its endemic grotesque overspending leading to impending bankruptcy and collapse.  The U.S. will take the usual expedient employed by every government since the Roman Empire:  debasing the currency through inflation, QE, or some other method of devaluing its “reserve” currency (which allows it to shift the debt to the rest of the world).  The increasing aggressiveness of the insatiable fanatics controlling D.C. is unparalleled in world history.  The minuscule efforts of Russians to affect the 2016 U.S. elections pale into insignificance compared with American interference in everything political in Russia.  But of course, the war-cheerleading MSM are the voice of the American cult goddess, so we know that war is wonderful in the cause of Ultimate Righteousness as defined by Uncle Semite.  After all, echoes of the “Good War” are growing steadily weaker with time, so we need a new threat to show just how powerful our drones and other robots are.  Watching others die from the comfort of our living rooms is such entertainment.

    Antifa clown millimind thinks he knows all about everybody and everything.

    One would almost think that he is hired by Putin to help talking America into the ground with fake news about renewable energy. Keep up the good work millimind, all in Eurasian interests.lol

    Mastermind, typical imperialist American worried about his virtue signaling choice for president didn’t get in, so he can please himself every night imagining a world where America and not the majority people in Syria get to choose what happens in Syria. Don’t blame Assad, the people there voted with their feet in 2012-14 when they saw isis coming a mile away and they hardly lifted a finger to stop them. Those who did protest

    died. Thanks Killary. All those weapons you shipped from Qaddafis ruined country that you knew isis would get from the jihadis you gave them to really helped liberalism and the enslaved yazidi women thank you too, go feminism!
