Tehran Murder of an Only Child

Her Crime?  

taraneh_mosavi___09_16.jpg

Colleague Thaddeus McCotter, 11th Michigan (R), spoke on the floor of the House this news cycle to bring to history the name and face of a young Iranian woman, 19 year-old Taraneh Mousavi, who was arrested and abducted on July 9th by Basij thugs in Tehran.

There were witnesses to Taraneh Mousavi’s abduction near the Ghoba Mosque.  Her crime? Wearing a green scarf for the protest against the illegitimate usurper Ahmadinejad.

The report is that Taraneh Mousavi was later found beaten, raped, tortured.

The report is that Taraneh Mousavi died in the hospital. What is reported also is that Taraneh Mousavi’s body was taken from the hospital by the killers, and her body was found burned in order to prevent an autopsy that could identify the cause of death. Taraneh Mousavi was an only child of elderly parents. Her parents said to be under threat by the regime to keep silent. Best LA/Tehran source tells me bluntly, and told the congressman as well, “the reistance wants her story out.” I spoke on air of Taraneh Mousavi’s murder on Sunday 19 with Ardeshir Arian, Media Without Borders. Thaddeuus McCotter spoke on the Congressional Record the story of Taraneh Mousavi’s murder on Monday 20.

Silence of the POTUS.

The puzzle of the ongoing turmoil in Tehran and throughout the Islamic Republic is how the continuing silence of the Obama administration is aiding the vast resistance to the usurper Ahmadinejad and his IRGC predators.

The DoD has consistently detailed the efforts of the IRGC to wreck the Iraq government and defeat the Coalition since 2003.  Ahmadinejad is voluble in his threats against Israel and the Jewish people.  The Supreme Leader Khamenei is a tyrant and provocateur of naked aggression.

All this, and since June, the steady stream of reports of the brutality of the Basij militia against the Iranian people, and still neither POTUS nor significant representatives of the Obama administration speak in public to name Teheran as a rogue.  The silence does not improve the facts.  The well-sourced intelligence that the Obama administration aims to negotiate an expedient bargain with Tehran, to add to a similar bargain offered by the Bush administration, is said to explain POTUS silence.

 Thaddeus McCotter speaks for the American people who have listened in disappointment for an honest, sturdy voice of liberty from the elected leader of “the citty on a hill.”

Shadi Sadr Missing

Late report that journalist and lawyer Shadi Sadr was arrested last Friday 17 in Tehran enroute to the Rafsanjani sermon.  She was taken by the secret police, who are said not to have shown a warrant.

An LA blog reports that Shadi Sadr telephoned her husband to ask for a password to her mobile phone.  Why a password?  To unlock the phone so that the secret police can document her contacts.  Shadi Sadr’s whereabouts are unknown at this time.

    Shadi Sadr’s whereabouts are not unknown: she is at Evin prison. Her parents tried to pay the bail for her release, but they have decided not to release her.

    A white Republican male Representative speaks truth to power on the floor of the U.S. House, displaying the photograph of 19-year-old Taraneh Mousavi, brutally raped, murdered, and then burned by Basij ‘enforcers,’ calling the regime in Iran “misogynistic” and “killers of women.” Afterward, he informs Madam Speaker, who saw no sexism in the D primary, he yields the floor. Kafkaesque.

    oh god. :( (((. awful.

    oh god. :( (((. awful. I’m surprised hillary isn’t saying anything. tsk tsk tsk.

    Thaddeus McCotter is a garden variety wingnut who could give a crap about Taraneh Mousavi: he has no history of supporting women’s rights in America, much less Iran, he is using her death for his anti-Ahmedinejad political agenda: an agenda that has a lot more to do with US business interest than women’s rights in Iran.

  • TeakWoodKite

    With the un-intended consequense (on his part) that people like myself, understand the human toll that is being exacted upon the citizens of Iran and this single soul was REAL person.

    It matters not, if it’s the horses mouth that is saying it. BO can cap on white cops and pull that card out, but he is not full bore on human rights.

    If he was, he would quit feeding Hillary two day old barn hay.

    Now that is stupid.

  • dno_marrano

    I pray that The Lord will step in and end Iran’s nuclear program with an earthquake (without loss of life). I pray this so that Israel will not be forced into action themselves.

    Fanatical islam may again attempt severe acts to the whole faith’s detriment. Should such occur the sixth seal will reveal which of God’s prophets is truly most dear – Y’shua.

    Hillary was interviewed by Fox today and said she was never going to run for an office again and that Obama would be re-elected in 2012 because of the great job he was doing. With quite a few Democrats coming out and disagreeing with Obama I wish she would stop kissing his feet. Why are white male Republicans the only ones standing up for the despicable treatment of women in Iran? Isn’t the Democrat party the party of civil rights and freedom? Bash Republicans all you want but at the present time they are the only ones brave enough to take a stand against Obama. I don’t expect Hillary to bash him but she doesn’t have to gush about his fantastic job as president wither.

  • NomNomNom

    That’s a very good point that at least he is informing others; I just get really ticked off when someone pretends to have women’s interests at heart but have some completely other agenda. (Very much like the dems saying they backed women’s rights for all these many years). I don’t think our attempts to undermine other countries’ governments has much of a track record on improving women’s lives either.

  • Docelder

    I think Hillary thinks she is going to be the “go to” when the epic failure sets in. She has been painted into a corner, to remain involved she is going to be tainted in the end as well I think. Anyway, the media is already starting to spit shine the next golden boy… Romney. The sheeple are going to love him too. I have a feeling.

  • Seattle Moss

    Romney. The sheeple are going to love him too. I have a feeling.

    Not too keen on Romney..He is the type of guy that if you give him power he will corrupt it absolutely.
    Herr Romney comes to mind…

    Go Palin!

  • NomNomNom

    the GOP may put up Romney, but I doubt the political cartels that run BHO will take him: he has already proven he has anti-charisma; and, very unpc to say so, I don’t think Americans wanted to vote for a Mormon.

  • Scout

    He’ll be reelected if he and the DNC cheat the way they did in 2008.

  • TeakWoodKite

    I hear you, can’t think of too many either.

    This lady has gone to the same make up artiste/photoshopper as the other one.

    These gals are Angelina Jolie s with kohl & lip pencil. Love those neat ultra straight jobs in a land of prominent noses.

    The radical Muslims are at war not with non Muslims but with women. Please follow the link for so called Honor Killings.

    More on the “Canadian” Honor Killings of Four Muslim Girls in Canada:

    “The girls were not allowed to go out alone, for example, neither to the cinema nor to meet friends and they were not able to dress freely”

    There are more there besides this headline.

    Yes, indeed they want him. He has that same mindless look in his eyes that Gore has. How do you spell robotic?

    Time for a 3rd party ? One that all true patriots join? Just leave the two parties in the dust.

    What a sad and terrifying story. I am not sure I have ever seen a more lovely looking woman–that she could be so violated makes me realize that we are really just animals at heart.

  • sara

    Go to hell, you degusting, heartless SOB.

  • sara

    You must be ugly outside as you are inside. Apparently you are very jealous of a beautiful murdered woman!!!
    You are sick.

  • Maria3

    John,

    Thank you for bringing this tragic story to our attention.

  • European

    What exactly do you expect Obama (or anyone for that matter) to do? Yeah, speaking up is a nice gesture but so vain and hypocrite when the world is dependant on Iran’s oil and earth gas. We are supporting Ahmadinejad and the rest of the hostile, muslim leaders everytime we drive a car or buy groceries wrapped in plastic etc.

    Suggesting anyone ACTUALLY cares what happens in the fundamental muslim countries or how their terrorism spreads is like a junkie condeming drugs while he’s snorting cocaine off the table. The best and the only way to condemn Ahmadinejad is to make the world function without their energy. Iran would be crushed like a bug as their economy would crumble down. But unfortunately the world uses its money on the easy option regardless of the consequences. Iran has the world’s second largest gas reserves. When the oil ends; Iran will still be on top of the world.

    “During the protests yesterday” [July 24, 2009] “against the coup regime in Honduras… A large group of hundreds of protesters was detained in the El Paraiso region by armed forces under orders of the coup regime and prevented from reaching the border with Nicaragua, where President Manuel Zelaya was attempting his second entry into the country since his ouster one month ago.

    The police and army repressing the people in El Paraiso fired tear gas, bullets and detained dozens of protesters. Violence erupted during the protests in reaction to the brutal force imposed by the coup regime. There are reports from the protesters in El Paraíso that the coup forces are preparing a nearby stadium to use for large-scale detentions. This would be reminiscent of the dictatorships in Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay in the 1970s that used stadiums to detain, disappear, torture and execute tens of thousands of leftists.

    Throughout the repression, several protesters disappeared. One was found this morning around 6 AM, dead, with clear signs of torture and execution. Pedro Ezequiel, 28 years old, was identified by a resident of El Paraíso, who also claimed he had been detained by the police and army forces on Friday afternoon. His body was found this morning thrown by a roadside near the Nicaraguan border. There were signs of torture on his hands and body.”

    So, where is the picture of Pedro Ezequiel being waved about in Congress?
    Oh, that’s right: it doesn’t serve our masters’ oligarchs’ freaking interest to talk about Pedro.

    Here’s one for you: http://www.telesurtv.net/noticias/secciones/nota/54688-NN/torturan-y-asesinan-a-seguidor-de-zelaya-que-fue-detenido-por-autoridades-de-facto/

    BTW: Taraneh Mousavi was 28 years old not 19 years old. Might want to update that photo.

    For an in-depth look at how the Taraneh story emerged see: http://www.qlineorientalist.com/IranRises/taraneh-musavi/

    There are plenty of real victims of torture and rape in Iranian prisons. The Iranian government lies to cover this up do not need to be muddied by stories made up by those of us who oppose them.

  • http://www.qlineorientalist.com/IranRises/taraneh-musavi/ Evan

    Another Republican opportunist. This guy could care less about Iranian women. He cares loads about embarrassing Obama.
    Unfortunately, this time, his chest-thumping is for nothing.
    The story is a hoax.
