Is Iran a Religious military dictatorship? You bet

Remember this? Barred from poll, Rafsanjani calls Iranian leaders ignorant and incompetent. This election will be much worse than 2009 but in the end?

Barred from poll, Rafsanjani calls Iranian leaders ignorant: Former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani has accused Iran's leadership of incompetence and ignorance just days after he was barred from standing in an election next month, the opposition Kaleme website reported on Thursday. Rafsanjani's comments appeared to add to the political conflict between those loyal to the leadership and opposition groups who have been marginalized since post-election unrest in 2009.

"I don't think the country could have been run worse, even if it had been planned in advance," Rafsanjani said to members of his campaign team on Wednesday, according to the Kaleme report. "I don't want to stoop to their propaganda and attacks but ignorance is troubling. Don't they understand what they're doing?"

 Of course they do! Rafsanjani was President after the Iraq war and rebuilt Iran. He became known as the easy man because he got things done. He is what is needed today. As a result the current regime looks at him as a threat to their warring regemin. Disallowing him from running is probably going to get things much worse because of the IRG. Remember the Iron fist they used on the people after the corrupt 2009 election. The people were finally quelled but we knew they were not silenced.

Is Iran a Religious military dictatorship? You bet

I say it to often today that once our so called leaders mention that something is an issue it is too late to do anything about it because it has gone too far. That is the case with Iran's clandestine nuclear weapons program and also labeling Iran as a military dictatorship. We have discussed this numerous times in the past. The fact that it is, is a long given as certainly events since the stolen election have proven. Iran's Revolutionary Guard is in charge!

On top of all the instigating Iran is doing in every instance I am very concerned with her desire for nuclear weapons, her willingness to use them, and the fact that we gave Iran her nuclear start in the 50s. The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program.[1] The support, encouragement and participation of the United States and Western European governments in Iran's nuclear program continued until the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Shah of Iran. We are so concerned about Pakistan and Iran today in regard to nuclear abilities and nuclear weapons and security. I was blown away to find out that we built the first nuclear Reactors in both Iran and Pakistan. 1953 atoms for peace

Reading the book by Con Coughlin titled Khomeini's Ghost - The Iranian Revolution and the Rise of Militant Islam while as usual not totally correct it certainly makes you think and put everything in its proper frightening perspective. Please look at the book review and decide for yourself. From Khomeini's response on his return to Iran after 15 years of exile to today's events it all makes sense and the world better be concerned as there is more than idle threats and braggadocio coming from Ahmadinejad. Khomeini's Ghost - The Iranian Revolution and the ...

A reminder: When asked by a journalist how he felt upon returning to Iran after 15 years in exile. Khomeini’s curt, one-word reply “nothing” Whoa! From day one of his return to Iran Khomeini expressed no love for Iran only a love of the atom bomb. The drive even then was to possess a nuclear weapon though that desire is still denied until Iran can get their hands on one.

I have tried to give Iran the benefit of the doubt when they say their nuclear desires are peaceful knowing they could use nuclear power as an energy source for their growing population. I have always asserted that perceived need could be cover for the real goal of developing a nuclear weapon. I now believe it is!

IRG Ahmadinejad, the stolen election, the killing and imprisonment of the children of the Revolution, the violent crushing of all opposition, the clandestine nuclear program, It is all making sense, beware! Natanz, Qom, Isfahan, Bushehr, Natanz, how many more nuclear facilities? How will this end?

As this ratchets up instigated by the Basiji and the IRGC another reminder! You know how I feel about Iran's Revolutionary Guard Command, but now there are many pro Government citizens calling for the death of those against the current regime and the IRGC! Like most I believe the election was stolen. I originally thought it had to be known right to the top but I do not think so. I now thing even Ayatollah Khamenei was duped about the stolen election. Some not all of the clerics have been dragged into bed with the IRG!

As you know, the IRGC was set up to protect the ruling authority after 1979 and are supposed to be controlled By Ayatollah Khamenei's authority. I know Ahmadinejad and 2/3 of his first 21 member cabinet are ex IRGC members and that simply reinforces that I am right to believe the IRGC has become the final authority not the Supreme leader.

The IRGC is in control of furthering Shiite demands around the Middle East! You know by now what they are doing in Yemen, Iraq,, Syria, and everywhere they can in the Middle East. I now believe Khamenei is the power behind the crackdown but he is unknowingly enforcing a lie! Iran will not give up her nuclear weapons designs and will never give up power or efforts to dominate the Middle East. Ahmadinejad and the IRGC are the driving force and will not relent. Increasing sanctions will only work to defeat all the opposition has done.

Having said that, it will be interesting to see if Khamenei in the end allows Ahmadinejad's close ally Esfandiar Rahim Mashaie to run. I doubt it because they do not want to see their instigating come to a halt. As long as we can keep from conflict with Iran I firmly believe that the people will rebel again and it will be much worse than 2009 with the same result. I for one do not like it but?

You know, I have long said that Iran’s civilian nuclear program is a cover for their nuclear weapons program. You know that Arab leaders feel the same way. They fear a nuclear arms race and I can only conclude that knowing how far along Iran is and how they feel, that they are hedging their bets and an arms race is already under way clandestinely. The only question is when will it become an overt arms race and just how big the middle east explosion I have been predicting since Bush attacked Iraq, will be?

Iran funeral descends into anti-regime protest ahead of election; June 14 another 2009?

*What to make of Rafsanjani's disqualification: Khamenei's authority has been significantly eroded and the incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad began to challenge him openly. Ahmadinejad handpicked Rahim Mashaei as his successor to keep the presidency within his own faction, only to be stymied by the Guardian Council. 

Indeed, anticipating Ahmadinejad's defiance and Rafsanjani's ambitions, the Khamenei faction had unleashed an extensive propaganda blitz to discredit and, at the same time, threaten the current and former presidents, calling Mashaei "deviant" and Rafsanjani "seditious." But these efforts failed to dissuade Rafsanjani from pushing ahead with his challenge.

*Iran funeral descends into anti-regime protest ahead of election: Iran has witnessed a rare show of political dissent in the run-up to next week’s presidential election after mourners chanted anti-regime slogans at the mass funeral of a dissident cleric, according to amateur video footage.

The footage – whose authenticity cannot be verified – also contained chants in support of Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, presidential candidates in the country’s fraud-tainted 2009 election, who have been under house arrest for more than two years. Marchers were heard on one video chanting: “Mousavi and Karroubi must be released.” 

I think this is going to be bad but we will see soon. There was a lot of outrage over the 2009 stolen election that was quelled with outrageous brutality. I was told then that with Iranian's the anger does not go away it just seethes until something happens and it blows once again only worse. The way this is being set up and displayed, this is going to do it.

When asked by a journalist how he felt upon returning to Iran after 15 years in exile. Khomeini’s curt, one-word reply “nothing” Whoa! From day one of his return to Iran Khomeini expressed no love for Iran only a love of the atom bomb.

I have tried to give Iran the benefit of the doubt when they say their nuclear desires are peaceful knowing they could use nuclear power as an energy source for their growing population. I have always asserted that perceived need could be cover for the real goal of developing a nuclear weapon. I now believe it is!

Khamenei is not going to let his programs "nuclear, for the midd;le east, and around the world" for Iran to be derailed. I have never heard of such a thing as deciding who can run and who can't when they are obviously qualified. In Mousavi, Karroubi, Rafsanjani, and yes even Mashei you would have a great field. Any of the first 3 would be a great proven leader at this time for Iran and be better for Iran and its people but it will not be allowed. What the heck is that?

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warns Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the office of President can be eliminated

I do not know if it will be that easy! It sounds more like a guaranteed civil war to me.

A couple years back we asked: If Iran was moving toward military dictatorship? You bet it is! Do You think Khamenei and Religious leaders can stop it now?



Iran moving toward military dictatorship? Watch the video is Iran a military Dictatorship? You bet it is! I believe revolution is more like it.


In the ongoing political skirmishes among Iran's leadership, it was the equivalent of bringing out the heavy ammunition: The country's most powerful figure warning that the post of elected president could someday be scrapped. Although no overhauls appear on the immediate horizon after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's comment — he spoke only vaguely about possibilities in the "distant future" — the mere mention of eliminating Iran's highest elected office shows the severity and scope of the power struggle between Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

For months, the ruling theocracy has been piling pressure on Ahmadinejad and arresting his allies for attempts to challenge the near-absolute authority of the cleric-ruled system that has controlled Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The blunt words by Khamenei on Sunday suggest a two fold agenda: Further tightening the lid on Ahmadinejad and showing others in the wings that Iran's rulers are ready to take drastic measures to protect what's theirs.

"There is bad blood," said Mehrzad Boroujerdi, who follows Iranian affairs at Syracuse University. "Khamenei is trying to make it very clear that the system can only handle so much discord and that he holds the stronger cards." It also marks one of the first clear hints of the ruling clerics' hardball strategies for parliamentary elections in March. Khamenei and his allies are expected to use their many tools, including the ability to vet and block candidates, to try to steamroll Ahmadinejad's backers and push the president — once Khamenei's protégé — farther into the political margins.

The ruling power structure in Iran, which includes not only hard-line clerics but also the hugely influential Revolutionary Guard, appears increasingly eager to snuff out the internal bickering. It's seen as an unwelcome distraction as the country confronts critical issues such as whether to restart nuclear negotiations with the West, complaints about its human rights record and U.S. allegations that a special unit of the Guard was linked to a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington.

I say it to often today that once our so called leaders mention that something is an issue it is too late to do anything about it because it has gone too far. That is the case with Iran's clandestine nuclear weapons program and also labeling Iran as a military dictatorship. We have discussed this numerous times in the past.

Top Iranian Opposition Leader Mousavi Challenges Supreme Leader after being outlawed!

IRG Ahmadinejad, the stolen election, the killing and imprisonment of the children of the Revolution, the violent crushing of all opposition, the clandestine nuclear program, It is all making sense! My hat is off to Mousavi but I do not know about the wisdom of challenging the so called Supreme leader. Especially after he outlawed you! What's next?

Mir Hossein Mousavi is challenging the government once again calling for an anti-government rally to prove the strength of his opposition Green Movement. He is telling his followers to put up or shut up as well as laying down the gauntlet. The call comes just days after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Mousavi and other opposition leaders that they were now excluded from the regime.

Mousavi's challenge to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to allow opposition forces to demonstrate is a clear act of defiance. It follows the Ayatollah's harsh words to the Assembly of Experts pronouncing opposition leaders officially outside the regime. Outlaws!

The mere appearance of Mousavi's words on his website is a show of strength against the government which has systematically muzzled the opposition press, imprisoned journalists, and waged a noisy propaganda campaign to drown out all other voices. Despite the increasingly heavy handed regime and threats to his life he calls them and his followers out.

Mousavi's decision to throw down the gauntlet against the supreme leader quickly drew the applause of many supporters on his Facebook website as well as many enthusiastic comments on a myriad of other opposition sites. This is ramping up!

Former Iranian President Abolhasan Bani Sadr who lives in exile in Paris called Mousavi's statement a clear break with the regime. He calls Mousavi's statement a direct act of defiance to Khamenei, along with Karroubi's challenge several days ago to hold a referendum. He argues that Mousavi is challenging Ayatollah Khamenei by warning the Ayatollah not to silence him or to kill him, because he will go on defying him.

The former president asserts that the Iranian government is "now at war with its own people" and you know for a fact it is! Top Iranian Opposition Leader Mousavi Challenges Supreme Leader

The only question is when will it become an overt arms race and just how big the Middle East explosion I have been predicting since Bush attacked Iraq will be?

We have been saying since the stolen election that neither side is going to back down and this is only going to end in one way and that is open armed violence on both sides. The only way to avoid it is for Mousavi to back down and I do not see that as a possibility. There is no way the current regime is going to let their drive for nuclear weapons and their version of a new middle east order without Israel and with them on top come to an end. What’s next?
