by Paul Craig Roberts for Information Clearing House A number of commentators have expressed their idealistic belief in the purity of Mousavi, Montazeri, and the westernized youth of Terhan. The CIA destabilization plan, announced two years ago (see below) has somehow not contaminated unfolding events. The claim is made that Ahmadinejad stole the election, because the outcome was declared too soon after the polls closed for all the votes to

I have it from a very good source that Mousavi and Karroubi have not showed up at a meeting of the Guardian Council which was to investigate their claims. Only Rezae was present. Since they were not present to present their case, the Guardian Council will most likely declared that it cannot proceed with the case. In sum – the Guccis have dropped the facade of legality. As predicted, the

Sadly, Pepe Escobar is writing a lot of nonsense these days, parroting pretty much whatever the USraelian Empire wants everybody to hear. Still, he is a good reporter and that makes him keep a careful eye on what is going on. In a recent article for the Asia Times, Pepe reported something quite interesting: “Here’s the upgraded voice of the Tehran street, where the new top rallying cry is “Seyyed

These supporters, identifiable by the color green they have adopted, have taken to

The reality is simple: Rafsanjani is trying to steal the election and organize a coup against Khamenei, and the Anglo-Israeli intelligence agencies are fully backing him. Does that make Rafsanjani a CIA agent? No, not nessesarily
By M K Bhadrakumar for the Asia Times (thanks to L. for calling my attention to this – VS) Western capitals must make a difficult choice: how long to pin hopes on the eruption of a “color” revolution in Tehran? The burden falls almost entirely on Europe, since Washington has different priorities. The United States cannot afford to be spotted in the barricades on the frontline of any attempt to
