Ali Khamenei whether he jails my father or not; today is a genuine criminal. Whom that can choose one day to order attacks on people or not, is therefore sitting in Shah’s seat and more or less repeats his crimes. Khamenei however, has forgotten that the ruling era, no matter how sweet he finds it, will end soon! Even though he has hidden God behind the Basiji’s nightsticks, he is still personally responsible for all the blood that has been spilled by the moths drawn to the flame of his rule. He and his relations have to answer to Sohrabs and Nedas.
Khamenei, whether he wants it not, has become today’s Yazid; and has pitted God against the innocence of a Hussein whose symbols are the Iran’s youth.

Khamenei whether he knew or not, on 29th of Khordad committed political suicide. So today he cannot blame anyone but himself. He has become Iran’s grand deity. Today, the argument is passed the election, and the people aim to bring to justice the second Shah. And now, every day, his following decrease and his rule becomes less legitimate.

Whether he has chosen it or not, he has elected dogs as decision makers, who bite people instead of addressing their grievances, and call this country’s people dirt and dust. So it will not be long till, facing the Iranian people, he will pay for his narcissism and love of power.

Whether Khamenei wakes up today or a year from now, he has no way to turn things around. Instead of making himself the hero of Iran, he has turned himself into a divinity. He will be named as one of the biggest dictators in history.

Whether Khamenei approves or not, the voice of my father from prison is the voice of liberation and a symbol of endurance. His presence in prison only points to the vengeance of the highest ruling clergy, and that of the devotees to his institution of power.

Whether Khamenei believes this or not, he is now Shah of Iran and the only difference is the name that is now changed to “Rahbar”. Just as the university students of Ghazvin chanted: “We say we don’t want Shah, they name him Rahbar”.

Even though all know the outcome of tyranny is disintegration and collapse, but history has shown that dictators always believe that their fate will be different from their predecessors. It is due to this same ignorance that they find their imagined superiority and magnificence reduced to ashes. And till the day their throne is washed away in the human tidal wave of society, they envision any act of resistance as a caricature manufactured by their enemies.

Perhaps when the end comes, they may understand the difference between a caricature and the real picture. So that it may be a learning lesson for dictators of future; even though the fate of tyrants will never be different from their predecessors.
