#defiance

We are watching history repeat itself in the most bizarre way. Right in front of our eyes.

Sadly the brave act of those who stand on the right side of history is a lonely and dangerous and feels hopeless.

History will not be kind to those who applauded and cheered for the wanted war criminal while a lonely woman stood up to the gang of sold out criminals and showed what true courage books like.

We will remember this for many years to come and no one will remember the names of the cheer leaders of the war criminal mass murderer of Israel.

A quotation from Millay, Edna St. Vincent

So up I got in anger,
And took a book I had,
And put a ribbon on my hair
To lease a passing lad.
And, “One thing there’s no getting by —
I’ve been a wicked girl.” said I;
“But if I can’t be sorry, why,
I might as well be glad!”

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) American poet
“The Penitent”, st. 3, A Few Figs from Thistles (1921)

Defiance of Iranian women is absolutely unbelievable.

The image is from a concert sponsored by interior ministry of IRI regime.

Many women who went to listen to the concert, removed their compulsory Hijab after sitting on their seats, which made the conservative minister, Basij and IRGC things very angry and upset.

Regime has increased pressure on business and shopping centers who allow women without hijab to visit or do business there. They have changed their tactics and instead of confronting the women, they are now punishing the business owners by closing them or fining them some astronomical amounts for breaking the rules.

So far, it ha not bronen the resistance of women in Iran and many still remove their head covers in public even though they risk suspension from school or loss of their jobs.

Video shows a man hiting a woman in Iran for not wearing a hijab and he quickly gets his ass whipped by a group of citizens

This is something that Iranian men did not do in the past 42 years, and finally waking up and learning from the women to fight the hezbollahi hooligans.

A quotation by Zweig, Stefan

The instinct for self-deception in human beings makes them try to banish from their minds dangers of which at bottom they are perfectly aware by declaring them non-existent.

Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) Austrian novelist, playwright, journalist, biographer

Beware of Pity (1939)
