With Barrrack gone, the Iranian population that seeks freedom knows Donald Trump is on their side and therefore the possibility of obtaining freedom is a real possibility.
Barrack understood if he was to be successful in bringing Iran into a leadership role in the meddle east, he had to support the existing power structure even if it meant subjecting the population to the suppression and brutality of Iran's religious ideology. And what better way to do this then to give them nuclear weapons.
But this wasn't a stretch for Barrrack as he had his own religious jihad working in America to ''fundamentally transform'' the civil society into one that is autocratic and characterized as an all powerful centralized government similar to Iran's.
And one would have to believe Barrrack would be the supreme leader in America, just as the Mullahs are in Iran. Barrrack and the religious Mullahs in Iran are brothers in the cause of ideological leadership for the future.
Luckily for all of us, November 8th happened causing Barrrack to be relegated into history as now just another domestic terrorist as he pursues his new role in earnest as leader of his criminal pac, ''Organization for Action'' that seeks to destroy the American dream.
Oh and by the way, enjoy the celebration of American independence from a centralized autocratic control.
God Bless America and our founding fathers.

Iranian Protests Underscore Regime’s Vulnerability
On Sunday, protests spontaneously erupted in Tehran, Iran’s capital, as cellphone shop owners shut down their shops and demonstrated against the plummeting value of Iran’s currency, the rial, which has devastated their businesses.
The next day they were joined by merchants in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, a key constituency for Iran’s clerical regime. The bazaar merchants played an important role in funding the Islamist extremists led by Ayatollah Khomeini, who hijacked Iran’s broad-based 1979 revolution.
Khomeini famously downplayed the importance of economics for the revolution, which he maintained was “not about the price of watermelons.”
But Khomeini’s successors do not have the luxury of ignoring Iran’s deteriorating economic situation. They know that most Iranians of rioting age are too young to remember the 1979 revolution, but are all too familiar with the economic mismanagement, corruption, and repression that the regime imposed after the revolution.
Moreover, Iran’s current leaders lack Khomeini’s political stature, religious credentials, charisma, and popular legitimacy.
The demonstrations earlier this week, which eased after three days, are the latest manifestations of a long-simmering popular backlash against the economic policies and misplaced priorities of Iran’s Islamist regime.
President Donald Trump’s May 8 announcement that the United States will re-impose sanctions on Iran after withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear agreement made Iran’s economic situation even worse. This accelerated the fall in value of Iran’s currency and spurred capital flight.
The protests have severely undermined President Hassan Rouhani, who denounced the United States for launching an “economic war” against Iran and vowed to thwart U.S. efforts to “defeat our nation.” But many of the protesters see the problem as originating with their own government, chanting: “Our enemy is here! It is a lie that America is our enemy!”
They also directed their ire at Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Khomeini’s successor as Iran’s supreme leader, whose power and authority greatly outweighs that of the president under Iran’s Islamist constitution. On Wednesday, Khamenei called on Iran’s judiciary to punish “those who disrupt economic security.”
Economic Hardship Breeds Political Instability
Since late December 2017, Iran has been wracked by widespread popular protests over falling living standards, economic mismanagement, corruption, repression, and expensive foreign interventions that have diverted scarce state resources from domestic economic projects.
By early January 2018, the protests mushroomed to include more than 75 cities and towns, despite a crackdown by security forces that killed at least 25 protesters and jailed almost 5,000. These were the biggest demonstrations since the 2009 nationwide protests against the fraudulent re-election of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Significantly, while the 2009 protests were led by urban middle-class and professional elites that have long chafed under Islamist rule, the most recent wave of protests have included working-class and poor Iranians from provinces and rural areas that formerly were considered bastions of support for the regime. Although nationwide protests subsided, protests over local causes, ethnic grievances, and religious discrimination, as well as labor strikes, have erupted sporadically.
The United States should publicize, promote, and support the legitimate political, civil, and economic grievances of Iranians and foster their efforts to recover freedom from the totalitarian Islamist dictatorship.
Washington cannot orchestrate regime change in Iran, but it can help create an environment where change is possible. Ultimately, it is the Iranian people who will hold the regime accountable for its crimes.
The United States can assist by undermining the power of the ayatollahs through sanctions and by driving up the long-term costs of the regime’s malign policies.
The regime must be convinced that if it continues on its present course, then it risks not only a domestic backlash against the skyrocketing price of melons, but also its own survival.
