Thank you 😊 … just life in capitalist hell issues. Iran would be wise to kick the reformists to the curb and stop trying to negotiate with terrorists. They have no idea what happens next if they do not. God bless you too 🤲

If only it was that easy... If you remember, months ago you asked me a few questions about Iran; I'm still answering them! And by that I mean, since about 8 months ago, I've been making a film to explain to people (outside and inside of Iran) how the "Islamic Republic" works and how determinant is the role of Iranian people in Iranian politics.

Thank you! I look forward to the film. I just purchased a Khomeini t shirt 😅 to go along with my Soleimani shirt, which has "death to USA" on the front in Arabic under a Yemeni child image. I have had my fill of the western fascists. They can only kill me not the ideal.

Do you know Marzieh Hashemi? An American woman who converted to Islam decades ago and now lives in Iran and works in PressTv; once in a TV interview, I remember her saying something along the lines of this: "God has chosen us women to be the flag of Islam by our Hijab". But apparently, you have taken it to the next level! Allah bless you and protect you 🤲

What about the book that I think you were supposed to write?

Yes, I do know of her 😊! I had no idea she was American though until you mentioned it. https://www.presstv.ir/aboutus/details/38

God bless her 🤲.

Thank you! Jazakallahu Khairan 🤲 ... I am ashamed to say I have not even started on the book or actually even thought about starting it. It is an enormous project and my main concern are the youth of Iran being duped into thinking the western way of life is a good model. How do I translate Italian into Persian? If someone else does it for me, how do I check context? Where do I start and how? Much like Marzieh, the 79 revolution and Imam Khomeini have been a huge influence. I am envious, our "revolution" in Italy against Mussolini was stolen by the Yankee pirates.

Well you know, I think ultimately a translation will always be "a" translation. And you don't have to specifically write it for the Iranian youth; you can - for example - write it in English and publish it bit by bit here too. But as you said Jazakallahu Khairan 🤲; Insha'Allah God will show you the way and you will do what you have to do in our shared holy fi.ght.

Thank you Pat 💚 everything is ok as can be. I have become 100% pro Hamas fighters and I could care less who does not like it. We all should be taking a lesson from them in dealing with our rogue western gov’ts. Democracy my ass

Nice to know I'm not the only one whose been focusing inwards lately.

Cannot say I'm "looking forward to reading your work" which is my usual polite thing to say to a writer. I'm familiar with what you do and reading it is important, acting on it in some way critical, but both are challenging and disturbing and sometimes I just feel way out of my depth with it all a d need the time out from mental strain. Yet I know it sounds pathetic my life being so damn easy compared to those living through it. Crazy fucking world we live on innit? Glad your here sharing it with us Carina. Beautiful soul. ♥

Thank you Robert. I understand your feelings. It’s not easy compiling the international roundups, it does take a mental toll seeing all the gloom and doom. One thing, it should serve to provide proof to every single person we do NOT matter to the powers that be globally. Not one country other than Yemen gives a damn about humanity.

It may cheer you up to learn that allies emerge from surprising quarters.

The predecessor of Burkina Faso's Ibrahim Traore, Thomas Sankara, famously rejected leading from above or behind, and marched forward with the people, shoulder to shoulder. A few days ago, Pope Leo quoted John (Gospel), saying the same thing. No doubt about it, this was a signal from Leo about whose side he is on.

Meanwhile, I am pushing for the formation of a world volunteer army to intervene in Palestine, Yemen, Syria, and Iran. One never knows what seeds will germinate. If enough people say this, BRICS will form one.
