Once again the #IslamicRepublic has shown its ugly and bloodthirsty face. It has once again destroyed an innocent life and ruined many more lives arround it. It did what it has been doing for more than four decades. (1/14)

For almost three months now, Iranians at home and abroad have been taking to the streets raising their fists and shouting that they do not want this inhumane and diabolical regime. They want freedom, equality and humanity. (2/14)

But now we wonder if that was enough, and if we even have the power, stamina, and resources to correct this 44 year old mistake. We feel indescribable anger, but also despair and powerlessness. We are so many and they are so few. So how can that be? (3/14)

Did we do something wrong or do we have to stubbornly keep going? Clearly, these inhumane and unjust executions must be stopped immediately. What do we need to do to get maximum impact with minimum losses? (4/14)

The ultimate goal is and remains the elimination of the broken system and paving the way to free elections. We have to ask ourselves what we have achieved in the last few months, what not? What worked and what didn't. (5/14)

We also need to understand why the Islamic Republic has, at this point in time, played one of its last trump cards, namely the beginning of the Executions. I think the answer is obvious: because of sheer fear. (6/14)

With this move, the regime wants to demonstrate what to expect if people don't go back to their homes. So let's be clear: the regime wants to get people to desist from their plan to eliminate the regime at any cost. (7/14)

So obviously people seem to have done something right. The question now is what? What has hit the system so badly that it is even willing to play its last trump card? Was it the regular calls to take to the streets now and then? (8/14)

Was it the burning of Basij bases or houses of those loyal to the regime? Was it the global marches of tens of thousands of people? Or the announcement by the Human Rights Watch that they want to investigate crimes committed by the regime? Or was it the strikes? (9/14)

When did the system see itself in danger? The media reported today that the Islamic Republic had stopped making regular payments to Palestinian organizations and the Lebanese Hezbollah. Oops! What happened? Is the system running out of money? (10/14)

For some reason, the money flow has recently come to a condition, which all the sanctions, all the years, couldn't do, and that seems to be the regime's week point as it is the week point of any regime. (11/14)

The Islamic Republic cannot be what it is if the money flow is disrupted, and what disrupted this flow? Exactly, the nationwide, intersectoral #STRIKES. The ongoing strikes have achieved in a very short time what the decades of sanctions have not been able to do. (12/14)

Strikes. This is the way. This pulls the system into the abyss in the fastest way imaginable. (13/14)

To all Iranians in Iran:

Strike like crazy. Close ALL your shops, turn off all machines, do only the bare minimum. This is the only way this nightmare will come to an end. This is the only way we can save the lives of our compatriots in prison. (14/14)
