Stollen money
By Banafsheh Zand
We all know that each and everyone of these akhoonds have lined their
pockets with millions and millions that belong to the devastated people
of Iran. None of that wealth belongs to these reprobates and none of them
should be permitted to abscond with their booty. As time of their demise
nears, the more shamelessly they scramble to feather their nests. This
reminds me of the Germans' appropriation of Jewish property and then fleeing
to South America after WWII.
I propose we begin searching high and low for the banks and investment
firms that are handling these funds. As Iran's assets were frozen after
the revolution, so should these. In view of the misery wrought by this
consortium of self-proclaimed divine messengers, we should actively and
with solidarity, be pursuing avenues to block their present and future
exploits.
We ought to be alerting every existing financial institution of the
economic havoc wreaked on the Iranian people by these scoundrels, insisting
on their cooperation and compelling them to take appropriate measures,
in helping bring these crooks to justice. We should make these money managers
and investment houses realize that their acceptance of those resources
is tantamount to them aiding and abetting criminal activities for which
suits can be pressed in international courts. They should be forced to
scrutinize this matter and consider the upshot of such business dealings.
It should be made clear to them that those funds belong to the people of
Iran, who have bled for 21 miserable years of tyranny at hands of the notorious
Islamic Republic.
Multi-national corporations doing business with Iran, who regularly
grease the palms of these filches should also be made aware of our refusal
to put up with such practices. We should be clear and firm in our message
to these conglomerates that their ignominious and shady standards shall
not be tolerated here.
Do you have a different opinion? Write!
