    What Actually Happened in the Iranian Presidential Election?
    By ESAM AL-AMIN
    Since the June 12 Iranian presidential elections, Iran "experts” have mushroomed like bacteria in a Petri dish. So here is a quiz for all those instant experts. Which major country has elected more presidents than any in the world since 1980? Further, which nation is the only one that held ten presidential elections within thirty years of its revolution?
    The answer to both questions, of course, is Iran. Since (…)

    Perhaps the most disturbing ability of human beings is the ability to rationalize anything. And this ability tends to rise in conjunction with the level of irresponsibility or stupidity an individual is attempting to justify.
    Evidence of this reality has been painfully clear in America since the start of the new millennium, which ominously began with the coup of 2000, and the illegal occupancy of the White House by George W. Bush and his inept, deceitful, corrupt cabal of warmongers. (…)

  • Iran protests: breeding ground for new revolution?
    18 June 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    The West may take advantage of mass protests in Iran following the re-election of President Ahmadinejad to organize a ‘green’ revolution similar to color revolutions in former Soviet states, says journalist Wayne Madsen.
    “What may have been a mass protest without foreign interference may now be subsidized by people like George Soros. We are talking about yet another themed revolution – in this case, a green revolution,” Madsen told RT.

    Are You Ready For War With Demonized Iran?
    June 16, 2009
    How much attention do elections in Japan, India, Argentina, or any other country, get from the US media? How many Americans and American journalists even know who is in political office in other countries besides England, France, and Germany? Who can name the political leaders of Switzerland, Holland, Brazil, Japan, or even China?
    Yet, many know of Iran’s President Ahmadinejad. The reason is obvious. He is daily demonized in the (…)

    18 June 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    Right-wing Israeli interests are engaged in an all out Twitter attack with hopes of delegitimizing the Iranian election and causing political instability within Iran.
    Anyone using Twitter over the past few days knows that the topic of the Iranian election has been the most popular. Thousands of tweets and retweets alleging that the election was a fraud, calling for protests in Iran, and even urging followers hack various Iranian news websites (which they did successfully). The Twitter (…)

  • Rafsanjani: shark or kingmaker?
    17 June 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    The man accused by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of masterminding the opposition campaign to oust him from the presidency has dropped out of view since election day. But Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani remains a formidable figure in Iranian politics with a network of well-placed allies straddling the reformist and moderate conservative camps. If any one leader is able to force a re-run of last Friday’s disputed poll, it may be the two-term former president nicknamed the "shark".
    Rafsanjani was last (…)

  • Iran plays the blame game

    Long-term instability in Iran is an alarming prospect for western countries keen to resolve disputes over the country’s nuclear programme and other contentious issues. But continuing political weakness in Tehran is also likely to produce the opposite effect – increased regime concern about external attempts to interfere, destabilise, and exploit its current vulnerabilities. This paranoid trend threatens unpredictable, even dangerous consequences – but may be justified.
    The pinning of blame (…)
