On the 27th January 1945 : Soviet-Jewish soldier David Dushman liberated Auschwitz concentration camp by driving his T-35 Soviet tank through the barbed wire electric fence of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in occupied Poland, thereby initiating the liberation of the camp by allowing Red Army ground troops in the 322nd Rifle Division to enter the camp.

  • "Skeletons everywhere, they stumbled out of the barracks and lay among the dead. Terrible. We threw them all of our canned food and immediately drove on, to hunt fascists,"

After the war he went on to become an Olympic fencer. He passed away at age 98 on June 4th, 2021

The more I read posts from the so called Iranian diaspora and their nauseating garbage analysis of political events, the more upset I get that 43 years after the revolution, there are no intelligent and viable alternative to this regime.

From the lies about death sentence for 1500 people, to celebrating and joking about the murder of a Basij member by raping him in public with his baton, to ridiculous and laughable posts about the reason why the Ukrainian PS 752 was shot down, these shot for brain idiots don't seem to have any clue of what they are writing about.

This is just on of many posts from the telegram channel supposed to be the voice of "Iranian National Council", a made up group with no real leadership or program, but famous for posting fake videos of actions in Iran as well as abroad. But also copying posts from Twitter and Instagram claiming to be theirs.

In this post, the intelligent political analyst of the group claims that the regime shot down the plane intentionally to hide it's fiasco about the loss of it's star IRGC general.

Having forgotten that the sad tragic insident happened the night after Iran sent a barrage of missiles toward the US base in Iraq and the whole country was on high allert, expecting a retaliation from the US military.

I know these idiots are not representative of the people of Iran, but sadly, their channel has 1000s of followers and being used by reporters in Europe and US as a reliable source of what is happening in Iran these days.

On the sad aniversary of the death of 176 innocent people, reading these posts makes more more depressed than I have been in many years.

3rd aniversary of tragic UAI 752 flight

3 years ago, in the height of the tension after the assassination of IRGC general Soleimani, the nervous and scared air defence operators fired 2 TOR- M1 SAM towards Boeing 737-800 flying from Tehran international airport to Ukraine, kkilling all 176 passengers and crew aboard.

The passenger manifest lists 176 people - 15 of them children - giving their names and dates of birth, but not their nationalities.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko initially released details that said there were 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians including all nine crew, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Britons and three Germans on board.

However, on 10 January, Canada's Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said the number of Canadians on the plane was now believed to be 57.

For 3 days, regime media tried hard to deny their deadly mistake before they finally blamed the operators of the defense systems for this deadly accident and whitewash their own hands from any responsibility.
