March 20 The day when the national wealth was registered in the name of Iran
🔹 March 20 in Iran's contemporary history is reminiscent of the approval of a law that started a new path in the country's economy; The day when, with the nationalization of the oil industry, long efforts to take over the management and exploitation of one of the most important economic resources of Iran came to an end.
This was the reason US/Britain orchestrated the military coup of 1953.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the AP showed that #Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.
#AlGore, who chose the Israeli firster #Lieberman as his VP accepted the defeat the next day and paved the road to the worst crimes against humanity in modern time by GwB.

Today should have been Fred Hampton's 77th birthday.
The Black revolutionary was assassinated by the FBI and Chicago police.
Today, we honor his life, legacy and revolutionary spirit in the struggle for justice and liberation.
PS. It's not Stalin's Soviet or MbS' Saudi Arabia, it's the US of A who did it and their kids don't learn about it in school.

Today is August 7, 80th anniversary of united state dropping the first atomic bomb on a civilian target in #Hiroshima, #Japan.
135000 people died in a matter of seconds and many more carried the scars of the most monstrous #WMD with them for decades.
Today's #Gaza looks so much like Hiroshima. But unlike Hiroshi, the civilians in Gaza are dying a painful and torturous death in the past 22 months.
