Masih Alinejad, Iranian dissident, shares her wellspring of bravery
Iranian Activist Draws Courage from Brave People Speaking Out Against Atrocities
During a recent interview, Iranian dissident activist Masih Alinejad revealed that her unwavering courage to speak out against her home country stems from the brave individuals who continue to raise their voices against the atrocities committed by Iran’s Islamic government.
Alinejad, who has faced assassination attempts by the Iranian government, shared her thoughts during an episode of NBC News’ ”Meet The Press” with Kristen Welker.
She acknowledged the fear that comes with her position, as she is constantly under the protection of federal law enforcement due to the threats she receives. However, Alinejad refuses to succumb to fear, recognizing that it is the ultimate goal of those who seek to harm her.
“But I don’t want to live in fear, because I know this is the goal of those who are trying to kill us,” she emphasized. “These killers in Iran attempt to instill fear within us and push us into hiding. I won’t allow them to succeed. That’s why I draw inspiration from my heroes within the country – Iranian women, mothers who have lost their children.”
Alinejad highlighted the incredible strength of these women, who boldly carry pictures of their loved ones and march through the very streets where their children were killed. They fearlessly declare, “Here we are. We have no fear of you.”
“I learn from my true heroes within the country. Even the simple act of women walking unveiled, proudly displaying their beautiful hair, is considered a crime. Yet, they defy these oppressive norms, showing their faces and proclaiming, ‘You are not the ones who should be afraid – it is we, the women of Iran.’ We are truly badass.”

Endocardium is the innermost layer of the heart that lines the chambers and valves.
Can diseases or disorders specifically target the endocardium layer, and if so, what are the potential consequences for heart health
Yes, there are diseases and disorders that can specifically target the endocardium layer of the heart. Some examples include:
1. Infective endocarditis: This is an infection of the endocardium typically caused by bacteria entering the bloodstream. It can result in inflammation, damage to the endocardium, and the formation of clumps of bacteria and immune cells called vegetations. If left untreated, infective endocarditis can lead to complications such as valve damage, heart failure, or systemic infection.
2. Endocarditis associated with rheumatic fever: Rheumatic fever is a complication of untreated strep throat caused by certain strains of bacteria. It can lead to inflammation of various parts of the heart, including the endocardium. In severe cases, rheumatic fever can cause scarring and valve damage, leading to long-term heart problems.
3. Endocardial fibroelastosis: This is a rare condition characterized by the accumulation of fibrous tissue in the endocardium. It primarily affects infants and young children, leading to thickening and stiffening of the endocardium. Endocardial fibroelastosis can impair heart function and may require surgical intervention.
The consequences of diseases or disorders targeting the endocardium layer can vary depending on the severity and underlying cause. In general, these conditions can disrupt the normal functioning of the heart and lead to complications such as:
– Impaired blood flow: Due to inflammation, scarring, or damages to the endocardium, the heart valves may not close properly or become stiff. This can result in blood leakage or reduced blood flow, leading to conditions like regurgitation or stenosis.
– Heart failure: If the endocardium is severely damaged or if the condition affects the overall heart function, it can lead to heart failure. This occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention.
– Embolism: Some conditions, like infective endocarditis, can cause the formation of clumps of bacteria or immune cells in the endocardium. These clumps can break off and travel through the bloodstream, leading to the risk of embolism (blockage of blood vessels) in various organs.
It is important to promptly diagnose and treat diseases or disorders targeting the endocardium to minimize the potential consequences and preserve heart health.
