We survived Bush’s disaster so let’s finish the decade on a positive note!

The first Decade of the 20th century was dominated by George w Bush and his damage to the US and the worlds order. Every year under his misleadership got worse and worse. Sadly his damage will be felt for decades and generations to come. He started in 2000, he allowed 9/11 to happen, and he followed that with the hell of a mess he made out of Katrina. He did his damnedest to instigate more war around the world.

After Bush's destruction anything to look forward to would be from President Obama undoing Bush's damage. Anyway It is New Years Eve and I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! After Bush got reelected in 2004 he announced that the election was a mandate, oh yeah! He said he had earned Political Capital and he was going to spend it,remember? many of us believed he was politically bankrupt even then. He had no Political Capital to spend. He had been since day one working on making us morally and financially bankrupt but I'll leave that alone today as I promised to be nice.

Every New Years Eve we have had a feeling of dread facing the upcoming year! On 12/31/05 I noted We're in trouble, Bush Promises to make 2006 as bad as 2005!! I said Today is New Years Eve and we just heard the Presidents weekly radio address. It was his last hurrah for 2005 and he was talking about how he wants to continue his abuse of the past through 2006. This has to really scare you the average American. Bush was a nightmare!

He vowed to continue what to you and I as average Americans witnessed and experienced as the continued destruction of society and the country as we like to remember it. He still thinks we are the envy of the world. This is still partially true but only because a large part of the world is still behind us in their progression. Due to his insistence on continued tax cuts for the wealthy. His continued destruction of the lower classes, his continuing outsourcing of his Karl Rove’s taught 3D politics (deceitful, deceptive, divisive, politics) contributing to world disorder he is continuing to erode this envy as we move into 2006.

New Years Eve 12/31/06 I noted Bush promised to make 2007 more deadlier than 2006 for American's and Iraqi's! He certainly did just that. I woke one morning to hear the 3,000th American had been killed in Iraq that number is now 4370. I reiterated that this Bush created Iraqi breakdown will spread throughout the middle east, being a total war between Shiite and Sunni as you can see it developing still

Thanks to President Obama's election in 2008 2009 dawned with renewed hope but the decade of Bush's destruction was still playing out and will be for many years. Millions have lost their jobs, homes, and health insurance. We saw massive bailouts for for our capitalist system. Capitalism was bailed out so we still have hope. Now for us! More than a year into President Obama's Presidency we have not seen any accomplishments.

That said, Our troops are scheduled to depart Iraq in 2011, foreclosures have slowed down, Job losses have slowed drastically, the economy of the wealthy is recovering and ours looks to be showing positive signs of improvement so we have hope. We watch the mess in Iran, our and the worlds financial mess hopefully improving and we have hope for 2010. Let us hope 2010 is a good year for President Obama, us, and the world. I wish you a Happy New Year in 2010!

May the last year of the first decade be better than the first 9 in this new world, this new century!

Saving Mexico from Nixon's forty year drug war let alone our 100 year war!

After 40 years the front line is now the entire US covering every State and all of Mexico. It has now engulfed and is endangering the very being of Mexico as a country and safe for its citizens. However this is not Nixon's 40 year drug war but the US 100 year drug war and we are losing!
Saving Mexico

Along US-Mexico Border, a Torrent of Illicit Cash

With our 100 year drug war and guns being purchased here and sent to Mexico then drugs being sent here feeding this drug war. This has not spilled over from Mexico it has spilled over from the US.

I reiterate: eastern California, southern Arizona and New Mexico are clamping down and National Guard troops are being requested! With 560 kidnapped last year Phoenix has become the kidnap capitol of the US! The cartels now operate in every State in America.With a reported 100,000 foot soldiers many of them trained military soldiers who have deserted to fight on the more lucrative side this is a formidable force! What about the Mexico mafia?

We keep hearing that Mexico's war on drugs is spilling over into the US. Now Congress is meeting about it. We are hearing of National Guard troops being called to help because Mexico's drug war has endangered Border States. Weapons are being purchased from gun dealers around the United States and being smuggled into Mexico to be used by the Drug cartels to fight Mexico's military in fighting Mexico's drug war. I have a few questions for our brain dead Politicians as they are once again in denial!

First I want to say when you work with the US you are taking on a lot of trouble. Anyway if I remember correctly our authorities have bragged for years that they are fighting a war against drugs! war on drugs the price tag america can not afford a war on Drugs end it!

We know they do not but you want to say don't they ever think? They are purposely feeding the violence on the border they are supposedly very concerned about? If you buy marijuana in the US you are fueling the cartel drug wars in Mexico. Are they doing this on purpose? Last year there was 7,000 killed there. So far this year another 400 have been added to those Butchered, beheaded, murdered, for what? Juarez, New Mexico on the Border with El Paso, Texas is a battle zone. It is the hot spot in the cartel's fight for smuggling routes. The drug cartels and those officers and military not bought off by the cartels are in a full blown war

Of course there are big fears of our drug war that spilled South to Mexico now spilling back to our side of the Border as violence. The violence is only there and fed by our insatiable hunger for marijuana and other drugs. We can end this! We can control the border as we still are not and put our military on the border. That is where they should be not on 733 US bases around the world.

Forget poor Mexico, forget Nixon's 40 year war on drugs, end America's Own 100 Year Failed War on Drugs!

We have been fighting a self professed war on Drugs for one hundred years! I wish someone would be able to figure out at what cost. It seems to me that the drug war has spilled over the Border with Mexico. However it went north to south. It is our drug war that has spilled into Mexico. It is us that have made Mexico the narco State it is. I do believe we should at least put American military on the border and do not really understand why it is not. That would go a long way in stopping the problem so I do not understand why they are not on the Border unless it is because a certain political interest still does not want the border secured to enable illegal immigration? Why else? A desire to keep this war going? For gain? of what?

I do believe we can end this! Put our National Guard on the Border in shifts! After I got out of the military I joined the reserves. I do not know how it works today because our troops are flat out. Besides one week end a month we use to be required to do 2 weeks as a unit somewhere to train. With 50 States they could all do their required 2 weeks on the border doing one thing or the other. The other half of the equation:

Legalize marijuana at least then if it works follow with the rest! That would kill much of the incentive for Cartels to be waging a war on drugs. Yes there is cocaine heroine and other drugs but marijuana is America's number one cash crop! That blew me away. According to official Government figures The value of the annual harvest exceeds that of corn, soybeans, or hay, the country's top three legal cash crops with an annual crop value of $35 Billion. There have been an estimated 100 million pot plants destroyed between 1981 and 2006 yet production has still increased 10 fold to 22 million pounds!

Legalize it, secure the border! Just imagine what it would be if it was legalized. Regulate it like alcohol, sell it in package stores! Tax it! Look at the potential revenue. Legalizing marijuana would end a hell of a lot of problems and create exactly zero! Think about it! The number one abused drug in the world is legal, Alcohol! It destroys numerous lives! What sane argument is there against legalization? None, none whatsoever! All we are doing with this insane war on drugs is driving people and not just kids to experiment and find a legal way to get high with common household products. We are only making the problem exponentially worse. END IT! LEGALIZE!

Is Ayatollah Khamenei and the clerics Ahmadinejad’s and the IRGC’s stooges?

Several reported dead in violent clashes in Tehran



A bloody showdown in Iran, deaths arrests, and defiance, the Iranian regime as predicted in June is beginning to crumble before our eyes! In the middle of twice President Khatami’s speech the basij barged in and chaos ensued! The 1979 Revolution is ending the people want their country back.

Think about it! You know how I feel about Iran's Revolutionary Guard Command! Like most I believe the election was stolen. I originally though 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 authority. I know Ahmadinejad and 2/3 of his first 21 member cabinet are ex IRGC members and that simply reinforces that I am increasingly led to think the IRGC has become the final authority not the Supreme leader.

The Supreme leader is appearing as a puppet needed to keep the religious leaders together and to make it appear that they are still in charge. They have become a major force capable of taking control of Iran and I am afraid nothing less than that is what has happened.

Not only has the IRGC perpetrated the horror and brutality we have all witnessed in and out of jail and lord knows the horror we will never know about but to add insult to injury Brigadier General Yadollah Javani a senior official with Iran's increasingly powerful Revolutionary Guard is calling for the prosecution of two key opposition leaders and a former president, accusing them of fanning the protests that have gripped the nation since its disputed presidential election two months ago.

Opposition leaders Mir Hossein Moussavi and Mehdi Karroubi, along with former reformist President Mohammad Khatami, he says should be tried for attempting to lead a Western-backed revolution that aimed to topple the regime. I am sick of hearing that crap. That was not western backed though I am sure they and us have been cheering this on. Those people merely want their true people led Republic back not the IRGC controlled Islamist Republic of Iran.

He wants the judiciary to go after them, arrest them, put them on trial and punish them according to the law. Do you know what that will do to the unrest in Iran? it will blow big time and you have to think that is what Javani wants. Then he will be able to get all this out in the open and have his millions of thugs put this to rest once and for all but I don't like what I see happening.

Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Ali Montazeri's death poses newer and even bigger problems for the regime. I think this will be the straw that broke the camels back! The Revolutionary Guard will not relent and they will be seen as preventing the mourners from marking the Grand Ayatollah’s death. This will be the current regimes biggest threat yet! It has proven too true!

The IRGC is in control of furthering Shiite demands around the Middle East! You know by no what they are doing in Yemen, Iraq, 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!

As we have been discussing, this will continue to ratchet up whenever possible. Sunday the 7th day of mourning for Ayatollah Montazeri which coincided with Ashura. The IRGC has stepped up their violence in response to the growing fervor of the protesters.

Mir Hossein Moussavi’s nephew Ali Mousavi Khamanei has now been killed shot through the heart. So far 9 people have been killed! There has been violence since the stolen election in June. However this as we have been saying is once more being brought to a new level.

Absolute pandemonium! The opposition is picking its moments carefully and getting bolder. Amidst cries of we will fight we will die we will take our country back they are now fighting and dying but taking their country back I don’t know but I wish them luck! This has gone to another level! Protesters wanted a fair election now they only want regime change.With 9 dead Ashura is Bloody mourning

Some of the Basij and IRG are refusing to stop or beat the protesters and are even laying down arms and joining the people. They know the people are right! This did not happen in 1979; we are seeing a new and hopefully better Iran awakening, better for the Iranian people and better for the world. Iran is perhaps the most important Nation in the Middle East and what is happening there is is most important to the world and our future.

Retired Colonel Peters says if Bergdahl deserted The Taliban should kill him! Kill all journalists, kill Gitmo prisoners! WTF?

Taliban Video of Captured US Soldier



Six months after the Taliban captured Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl and posted their first propaganda video the Taliban have posted another. I feel for this man, this is Afghanistan not the US. Do you remember the nonsensical rhetoric coming from Fox news? Fox News Contributor Ralph Peters: Taliban Should Kill Captured US ...

Remember when Bergdahl was first captured retired Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters an ex army intelligence officer I have yet to find any proof of combat duty is willing to condemn PFC Bergdahl for desertion. He said if Bergdahl betrayed his fellow soldiers by deserting while in Afghanistan that he would not mind if the Taliban killed him and save the US time and money. I know Peters is a Faux news pundit but I refuse to believe him or anyone there will condemn a fellow American to serve their Political purpose.

Bergdahl was captured June 30th under what is still unknown circumstances. Two US officials said Bergdahl appears to have just wandered off his post unarmed. I also heard he just wandered into Town to visit Afghani's he thought had befriended him. I also heard he was drunk and wandered off base to be picked up by the Taliban. Also that he was grabbed by civilians and turned over to the Taliban. I am stunned to hear betrayal and desertion even from a Faux pundit.

I mean come on. This is Afghanistan. We are perceived as the invaders the infidels the enemy unwanted in their country. I can not envision anyone being that naive, that anti American that stupid as to go A.W.O.L. in Afghanistan. We heard the horror stories over the years. These people are among the most feared ruthless combatants in the world. Walk into their hands? Come on! Wandering into the Sahara Desert naked would be preferential.

Bergdahl is an American an American soldier an adventurer by those who know him. I refuse to believe he is totally stupid! Faux pundit Peters has an obvious proven pension for murder.A while back I remember him advocating the murder off journalists by our military. Peters calls for military killing of Journalists

I guess they can be thankful they are going to Stateside prisons because in the past he has also advocated killing all the prisoners in Gitmo. I do not have to remind you that many were known to be innocent.

Many people including me want to see Berdhal rescued first and then find out the truth. Despite the idiocy expressed by Faux news pundits Bergdahl has a lot of Americans very concerned. Capture of US Soldier, 23, Shakes Small Idaho Town

Even President Obama has expressed his deep concern. 'Heartbroken' President Obama vows to bring back captured US ... You want to wonder why we are fighting the idiocy at Faux but you know they are the enemies of average Americans and everything Obama and our America. I am very concerned about the hate fear and disinformation they are spreading throughout America as to our demise many are buying into it!

Yemen the first open battleground in the war for the new middle east order!

Yemen conflict worries the entire middle east


Yemen as you know is a strategic Middle East nation. where Osama Bin Laden's father was born. I know that in 2000, al-Qaeda bombers attacked the USS Cole in the southern Yemini city of Aden killing 17 American sailors. Since, militants have attacked U.S. missionaries, foreign tourists and Yemeni security forces. Last year gunmen targeted the American embassy with a car bomb and rockets. The attack killed 16, including six assailants.

There is a lot of activity there that has been attributed to Al Qaeda and their interests. I was surprised to learn that Yemen is Middle East nation, where Osama Bin Laden's father was born. Knowing all that you know my focus has been on Iran's interference in Yemen as they try to install Shiite dominance there and everywhere else in the middle East. Yemeni air strike kills 30, targets home of cleric linked to Ft. Hood attack

Factbox: Who is Anwar al-Awlaki?

As many of you know by now my prime concern in Yemen was the interference by Iran in trying to get Shiite dominance there. Bush freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program.

The goal now absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!

In Yemen once again the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is the instigator. They are ferrying weapons through Eritrea to Yemen. They are now avoiding the Arabian Peninsula as Saudi Arabia has instituted a blockade along the coast of Yemen. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has also transported Lebanese Hezbollah fighters to fight with the rebels.

As you know, Saudi Arabia is also there fighting the Iranian backed Houthi rebels. So far there has been no direct confrontation. However I absolutely see what I have been warning about since Bush diverted from Afghanistan to attack Iraq and get back in the middle east to create a new middle east (dis)order! This is going to bea total middle east war for a new midle east oirder like it or not, Sunni against Shiite.

It is looking like Yemen is going to be the first country down! Please watch the video, the Middle East is right to be concerned. Yemen is going through severe domestic turmoil due to the violent activities of Al Qaeda, Houthi rebels in the north and the Southern Movement in the south. The remaining Jews are threatened with slaughter by the Shiite. How much longer can Yemen hold on? What is next?

Today to Iranians and the world Iran is the futures biggest threat!

Iran opposition under fire: Iran militiamen attack offices of pro-reform cleric: website, North Korea weapons aircraft 'was heading to Iran', Yemen, Iraq interference, I now believe Iran is the worlds biggest threat to moving successfully into a viable future.
Iran militiamen attack offices of pro-reform cleric: website

Popular dissident Hossein Ali Montazeri mourned in Iran -- latimes.com

North Korea weapons aircraft 'was heading to Iran'

I know many people past present and future see the US as the worlds biggest threat to peace and under Bush I certainly agreed with that. That said I use to think Russia was our biggest concern in moving peacefully and successfully into the future and sometimes China. Since 9/11 I thought of the main threat as being from the so called terrorists and militants.

Watching what Iran is doing to her own people who only want a "pure" Islamist State and what they are doing in Iraq and Yemen trying to get Shiite dominance in the middle east, now finding out about these weapons I am believing it is Iran and the entire world should be concerned and has an interest in this.

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. Iran's nuclear program

A reminder: As you know, when asked by a journalist how he felt upon returning to Iran in 1979 after 15 years in exile. Khomeini’s curt, one-word reply was “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.

The current regime in Iran continues to up the ante inside and outside of Iran with militarism and nuclear concerns. They are antagonizing Israel, the US, and others in their quest for war to unite their country! Iran is not going to settle for world peace but instead inside and out they will settle for nothing less than dominance and will destroy the world to get it!

Now: When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves didn't produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.

Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the rum. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.

The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'

And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

As US withdrawal nears, Iraqi fear of Iran grows and with more than good reason!

They better be worried! Iran as you know has already been putting feelers in Iraq warning them as to their strength and their intention to use it and we are not even gone yet. I know we helped Iraq during the Iran Iraq war.

This "help" included several billion dollars worth of economic aid, the sale of dual-use technology, non U.S. weapons, military intelligence and Special Operations training, as well as direct involvement in warfare against Iran.

I do not see that we are going to be in any position to do that again but we will see soon! I thought Iraq with Saddam at the helm did okay against Iran with what I thought was minimal help from Britain and the U.S. However the situation has changed and we can thank G W Bush.

You know Iran has vital interests in Iraq and not just in a few disputed oil fields along the disputed border. That as you know was highlighted by the recent temporary capture of one of the oil fields Iran says is theirs. For now they have withdrawn. They are warning of things to come.

Muqtada Al Sadr’s uprising in 2004fostered concern that Iran was backing violence and Iran’s hands were in it before and have been since. Many of the recent improved and more destructive explosives have been traced to them. They have been accused of meddling in many areas including fixing elections.

In the past Iran has been accused in the rise of groups such as Ansar Al Islam and facilitating their Sunni Shiite movement against the Government in the guise of assassinations of officials. I am suspect along with others of Iran’s undue influence in Iraq’s Shiite dominated Government.

Iran does not want Iraq to re-emerge as a threat in any capacity military or financial. Iran does not want to see a separate Kurdish State as it would have a huge implication on Iran and their Kurdish minority.

They want Shiite rule in Iraq and at the same time they are working to effect Shiite dominance in Syria arming the Houthi rebels and ferrying Hezbollah volunteers to fight with them. Iran is chomping at the bit and as the attack on the oil field and the increased interference demonstrates, they are not going to wait until we leave the area Iraq better be prepared for this!

Surviving Mumbai terrorist just a bad actor?

Gunman smiled as he sprayed bullets!




Another Kasab flip flop



Mumbai Defendant Recants Confession

Mumbai suspect says wanted to be a Bollywood star

First Kasab was a tough guy cool calm and calculated! Indian police heard the first full account of what led up to the devastating attacks in Mumbai from the only terrorist captured alive, who told authorities that he was ordered to kill "until the last breath," the U.K.'s Daily Mail newspaper reported. Azam Amir Kasab, 21, the only terrorist to survive a raid by Indian commandos, told authorities that the attacks included 10 terrorists in a heavily orchestrated plan devised six months prior to the attack that hoped to kill 5,000 people, targeting mostly "whites, preferably Americans and British," the Mail reported.

Then a local newspaper claims the man was talking and wanted to live, indicating he has perhaps struck a deal with his captors. But Geddes said the group was very well trained and the information could not necessarily be relied on. He added: "If this group has been so well prepared, so professional in their planning, there will be disinformation they will be ready to release or give in the event of capture.

"They can't really count on the integrity of the intelligence coming out of this one individual." Sky's Ashish Joshi, in Mumbai, said the commandos he has spoken to were astonished at the professionalism of the terrorists. He said: "They knew the terrorists were motivated. But they were shocked they were matched not only in firepower, but in movement. "That, they say, indicated a very highly trained squad of individuals."

Kasab was captured after being shot in the hand by police in south Mumbai the Sunday Times of London reported. A policeman and one other terrorist were killed in the same encounter. Kasab was captured after being shot in the hand by police in a standoff near Chowpatty beach, a popular evening destination for local families, in south Bombay, also known as Mumbai, on Wednesday night. A policeman and one other terrorist were killed in the same encounter.

The terrorists reportedly posed as students during a visit to Mumbai a month ago, to familiarize themselves with the city's roads and to film the "strike locations." Kasab confessed to being a member of the Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani militant group believed to be connected to Al Qaeda.

Kasab is an aspiring actor all right, a bad actor!

Ayatollah's death stirs Iranian opposition to bitter protests ! The outspoken critic higher ranking than Khamenei has died posing big problems!

Grand Ayatollah Montazeri was a hero to Ayatollah Khamenei so right off the bat I have to wonder how Ayatollah Khamenei could pervert the 1979 Revolution and condone the killing of the children of the Revolution. The 7th day of his mourning coincides with Ashura. This is a worst case scenario for the regime

Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Ali Montazeri was thought to be Ayatollah Khomenei’s successor but fell out of favor in 1989 when he spoke against the execution of thousands of opponents to the Government after the Iran Iraq war. He was often under house arrest in his home in Qom but still become more outspoken after the so called election calling it a fraud saying Iran’s leaders were in danger of losing their legitimacy. They have but do not care!

For years Montazeri has accused Iran’s ruling establishment of imposing a dictatorship in the name of Islam! They in fact have and they will not relent as the people want, thus the stolen election. They want to dictate the direction of the new Middle East order now and are led by the Revolutionary Guard. Ayatollah Hoseyn Ali Montazeri

Opposition supporters have enormous respect for Ayatollah Montazeri. He espoused the principles they championed and vice a versa and they immediately took to the streets to mark his death. This is one more reason to get this civil war or revolution whatever you want to call it ramped up. The Revolutionary Guard and the Basij will lead the way!

Montazeri’s views that the election was stolen as you know is a view shared by the protesters and many clerics representing a deep split right in the very heart of the ruling establishment. The ruling clerics do not seem to understand that they are all being used to follow the current fascist agenda.

This poses the biggest dilemma yet as the protesters are in the streets and I am sure will be hey will mark the seven-day anniversary of his death next weekend. Senior clerics are uneasy as they see the Revolutionary Guard has the clergy as the real power in Iran. It is too late to feel “uneasy”

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

The Supreme leader is appearing as a puppet needed to keep the religious leaders together and to make it appear that they are still in charge. They have become a major force capable of taking control of Iran and I am afraid nothing less than that is what has happened.

Those who have followed me over the years know that Cheney and Bush attacked Iraq with only one of the goals being to attack Iran to create their new Middle East order. Look at #4 in the plan

That plan was put together in 1996 for Israel. They were just waiting for an idiot to come along so they could implement their plan for the Middle East. Along came the life long follower and life long alcoholic loser Georgie Bush. I wish I could say the rest is History but this is still barely beginning and just beginning to take shape. All Bush did by ignoring Afghanistan and attacking Iraq was to guarantee a loss of everything and a complete Middle East and Asian Breakdown.

Bush and Cheney did everything they could do instigate war with Iran to make it look like they started it. You saw all the attempts. Meanwhile the Iranian Revolutionary guard has done everything possible to instigate it on their side.

He freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program. I think you can see how successful Bush and Cheney were with chaos creating Middle East Democracy program but you are barely seeing the results they created in Iran.

You witnessed the stolen election and the brutality dealt to the people who wanted honesty and a return to the true meaning of the Revolution. Here in the United Staates we managed to survive Bush and get rid of his fascist agenda at least for now with no loss of blood. Iran is not going to be that lucky I am afraid.

The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!

Under Bush we broke a long standing tradition of not adding fuel to the Middle East fire by supplying weapons. We are now, including advanced weaponry and missile defense systems. The Middle East breakdown Bush started armed and funded will continue under Obama. This up to now proxy war in the Middle East is under way and there is no way Iran is going to let internal strife stop their agenda.

I firmly believe they will instigate a war but where they succeed in starting it is anyone’s guess. They are not going to be swayed from fighting for their version of new Middle East (dis)order.

It is worse than I thought as Yemen under siege by Houthi, Iran, and Al Qaeda, now the US!

Yemen conflict worries Middle East region



US air raids kill 63 civilians in SE Yemen

Yemen claims 34 killed in raid on Qaida hide-outs

Houthis and external intervention in Yemen | Institute for Defence ...

The 370 remaining Jews ordered to leave by Shiite’s or be killed

As many of you know by now my prime concern in Yemen was the interference by Iran in trying to get Shiite dominance there. Bush freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program. I think you can see how successful Bush and Cheney were with their chaos creating Middle East Democracy program but you are barely seeing the results they created in Iran. Five killed at secessionist protest in south Yemen

The goal now absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!

I knew Iran was supplying and arming the rebels in Yemen but I did not realize how extensively! Yemen has known for a while that Iran was arming the rebels that pushed into Saudi Arabia recently. Before Saudi jets pushed them out with Yemen approval and attacked their strongholds.

Yemen as you know is a US and Saudi ally and we have heard in the past accusations of arms smuggling. Yemen authorities have started boarding Iranian ships suspected of smuggling arms to Houthi rebels. This will have consequences for the entire Middle East as Shiite leader Iran is getting increasingly confrontational with Sunni leader Saudi Arabia albeit up to now in proxy!

Once again the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is the instigator. They are ferrying weapons to Eritrea to Yemen. They are now avoiding the Arabian Peninsula as Saudi Arabia has instituted a blockade along the coast of Yemen. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has also transported Lebanese Hezbollah fighters to fight with the rebels.
The Yemeni Navy has also seized an Iranian crewed ship loaded with weapons off the coast of a rebel stronghold and of course and involvement was denied by Iran. Saudi Arabia can not tolerate this on its border. Heretofore all fighting has been third party, Shiite against Sunni. How long before the 2 keepers of their faces go head to head to enforce their version of a new Middle East order?

Yemen Sees 'Mounting Evidence' Iran Is Arming Rebels

So far there has been no direct confrontation. However I absolutely see what I have been warning about since Bush diverted from Afghanistan to attack Iraq and get back in the middle east to create a new middle east (dis)order! I do not give a damn what anyone says. Bush, Cheney and their Democratization program in an already historically unstable middle east set all of this and more in motion!

The hell on earth Bush created for Iraqi’s will engulf the entire Middle East before it encompasses the entire world if we can not contain it. Under Bush we broke a long standing tradition of not adding fuel to the Middle East fire by supplying weapons. We are now, including advanced weaponry and missile defense systems. The Middle East breakdown Bush started armed and funded will continue under Obama. This up to now proxy war in the Middle East is under way

* It is looking like Yemen is going to be the first country down! Please watch the video, the Middle East is right to be concerned. Yemen is going through severe domestic turmoil due to the violent activities of Al Qaeda, Houthi rebels in the north and the Southern Movement in the south. The remaining Jews are threatened with slaughter by the Shiite. How much longer can Yemen hold on? What is next?

US to stage simulated Iran missile attack after Sejil-2 test

Reaction: Iran test-fires new missile



Iran troops enter Iraqi oilfield, no Nation dare attack us
Switching to the proven water based mobile missile defense system was certainly timely and is proving to be one of the wisest decisions Obama has made to date.

Iran makes a point with new missile test
US to stage simulated Iran missile attack after Sejil-2 test

I am sorry, I do not think I am any different than the rest of you but knowing Iran wants to wipe at least Israel off the map and says they are not developing a nuclear weapon but if they had one would use it on Israel I have to believe while they may have a valid need for nuclear power their program is a cover for their real goal of developing or getting their hands on a nuclear weapon to use on Israel!

Likewise Iran has been upgrading its missile systems and has showed off its Sejil 2 two stage solid fuel missile capable of reaching targets 1,200 miles away. They had that ability with the Shahab 3 but are now prepared to produce these en masse. They now have capable short and medium range capabilities but no way to deliver nuclear warheads. Supposedly these are not to be used offensively but only to prove Iran can defend herself. Once again you have to believe the weapons are to prove they are a threat offensively.

Iran was already a threat to her immediate neighbors with a 600 mile range now they have paraded the ability to produce missiles capable of reaching parts of Europe and certainly most of the middle east.

President Obama based his decision to scrap Bush's worthless MDS Boondoggle as it was only designed to provoke Russia and was never even tested under realistic conditions despite its 4 Billion dollar cost. As you know after much expert advice and thought he scrapped it for the much tested land and water based mobile Aegis system. This great decision which Europe and Russia welcome was based on a reassessment of the developing and changing threat coming from Iran! defending Europe because of Iran is the priority Decisions based on intelligent reasoning what a novel idea!

* In closing: The water based mobile Aegis system can even be moved to the Gulf and other area's of concern that may and will crop up to counter immediate short and medium range missile threats. It may already be there! Meanwhile by 2017 when Iran is expected to have long range capabilities the Aegis is also scheduled to have long range and ICBM defense capabilities. If Russia and NATO join the effort as proposed I am confident we will be prepared for any future threats!

Biden: Stabilizing Pakistan Long-Term Goal of Afghan Troop Surge

Mullen warns of tough Afghan fight




I am certainly glad to at least hear that stabilizing Pakistan "securing their nukes" is our long term goal!

Biden: Stabilizing Pakistan Long-Term Goal of Afghan Troop Surge

As you know I was dead against adding more troops as I thought we should concentrate on the border and help Pakistan who does want their sovereignty and I still feel that way but I now realize Afghanistan is important but not the way in which we all perceive it.

As you know, we have discussed many times JSOC is the military's chief terrorists hunting squad and has units now operating in Afghanistan on Pakistan's western border and in Pakistan. A secondary mission is to secure foreign nuclear arsenals.

As you know the mission has taken on added importance in recent months, as Islamic extremists have taken territory close to the capital of Islamabad and could destabilize Pakistan's shaky democracy. Pakistan appears to be holding off the Taliban threat thus the threat of the US too feel the need to act on defending their Nukes. Just in case the US Has a Plan to Secure Pakistan Nukes if Country Falls to Taliban

I now believe Afghanistan is just step a domino headed towards Pakistan and her nuclear weapons. That I believe is the threat of Afghanistan falling into extremist hands as it is increasingly obvious to me that getting Pakistan’s nukes is the ultimate goal of the Taliban, Al Qaeda, militants, whatever you want to call them.

That would put us in a situation the entire world better be extremely concerned about and why NATO if right to step up and Russia and China better step up.

* I am hearing we are on our way out of Iraq and Afghanistan or so some might think but just wait to see what 18 months brings. I keep hearing a stupid saying attributed to the Taliban “you have the watches but we have the time” Hell most do not know what a watch is and we better make the time. Like it or not we are stuck with this fight not for Afghanistan’s Government but for the security of Pakistan’s nukes!

Iran nuke document called 'alarming' Their Program started in the 50s with our help!

The document seems to prove that Iran is in the final steps of perfecting their nuclear bomb. Also they just tested their improved long range missile capable of reaching Israel and parts of Europe. They continue to up the ante with militarism and nuclear concerns. They are antagonizing Israel, the US, and others in their quest for war to unite their country!
U.N. officials assess secret Iranian nuclear paper

Iran advanced and working on building nuclear weapons

A reminder: As you know, when asked by a journalist how he felt upon returning to Iran in 1979 after 15 years in exile. Khomeini’s curt, one-word reply was “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.

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. Nuclear program of Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would have to assume this was after we overthrew the democratically elected President of Iran Mohammad Mosaddeq to install our ruthless puppet the Shah of Iran. We built and supplied Iran's first reactor because we thought we were in control. What the hell is wrong with us? That makes us personally responsible for the 1979 Revolution in Iran, the capture of our hostages, the disaster in the desert after a failed attempt to rescue them, the rise of the Revolutionary Guard, the protesters dilemma, the nuclear issue in Iran today, everything!

You know, I have long said that Iran’s civilian nuclear program is a cover for their nuclear weapons program. Now I see 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 it is already under way clandestinely.

The Gulf Corporation Council “Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman. And the United Arab Emirates, who are all incidentally armed by us with advanced conventional weapons and technology and missile defense batteries all want the Middle East to be declared a nuclear safe zone. That as you know is DOA as neither Israel or the US will never agree to that. The centuries of acrimony and convoluted Relationships throughout the Middle East though I knew of it is mind boggling and worse than I thought so I invite you to read the report it is eye opening. !

Kurds Battle With Turkish Police in Street clashes in Turkey after Kurdish party banned

Raw Video: Kurds Battle With Turkish Police




Street clashes in Turkey after Kurdish party banned

Turk PM calls for unity after Kurdish party ban
I do not know about the wisdom of this move. The Kurds wanting a free Kurdistan are now a people without a country"

Kurds are a dispossessed people whose natural homeland stretches across much of the Middle East. A substantial number of Kurds live in Iran, which is as close to a mortal enemy of the United States as there is in the world today. American support for reclaiming those colonial possessions of Teheran and the incorporation of those lands into Kurdistan would roughly double the area of the Iraqi Kurds. A significant, but smaller, number of Kurds live in Syria, an enemy of America and a supporter both of the Iraqi insurgency and of international terrorism. If the Baathist regime did not give up its Kurdish lands, then the Kurds, with American military support, should smash the Syrian Army and force as humiliating a peace treaty as possible on Damascus.

The majority of the thirty million or so Kurds, however, live in Turkey – almost one quarter of the population of Turkey. That, more than anything else, has stayed our hand so far. Kurdistan with the southeast quarter of Turkey is a fairly large nation. Traditionally, Turkey has been an ally of America, but that has been changing fast and Turkish support for American policies has always been based entirely on cynical self-interest. We owe Turkey – neutral in World War Two and our enemy in World War One – nothing. Our support for Turkey costs us the goodwill of Greeks, Armenians and other European nations that suffered through centuries of Turkish oppression. It also has cost of much of the goodwill of Kurds, who would otherwise welcome the presence of a superpower that was not intolerant, not Arab, and sought nothing but friendly relations with it.

Another important reason for supporting a true Kurdistan is that the Kurds are a genuinely diverse people. Although they were forced to covert to Islam, today only about seventy percent of the Kurds are Moslem, and many of those only nominally, Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians (or a faith much akin to that) and Bahai have lived within the long-persecuted Kurdish community with their first allegiance as Kurds, and there is no single branch of Islam that clearly dominates the Kurdish community. Kurdistan could then be a democracy with an Islamic majority that was genuinely inclusive of all faiths, both needing the support of all Kurds to survive (much like Israel) and also because of centuries of living largely underground, tolerant of all Kurds. There is little doubt that it would become an affluent nation as capable of defending itself as Israel is today, and that along with the establishment of a truly free and democratic Lebanon, would create three strong, free and prosperous democracies which would naturally become allies or at least friends.

The dismemberment of Iran, which would lose ten percent of its population, and the humiliation of Syria, which would be forced into a very precarious position, would be great peripheral benefits. The downside has always been the impact on Turkey, but a Turkey which continues to deny its Armenian holocaust and is rapidly moving toward denial of HaShoah as it embraces vicious anti-Semitism, should increasingly lose our concern about its interests. A free Kurdistan Part of the deal ?

Oil-rich area
Iraq's ethnic Kurds maintain an autonomous region that comprises three of the country's 18 provinces. In recent months, the Shiite-led central government in Baghdad, which includes some Kurds in prominent positions, has accused Kurdish leaders of attempting to expand their territory by deploying their militia, known as pesh merga, to areas south of the autonomous region. Among other things, the Kurds and Iraq's government are at odds over control of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, which lies outside the autonomous region, and over how Iraq's oil revenue ought to be distributed.

What a mess the already volatile Middle East has become since Bush was told by God to attack Iraq to get into the Middle East to straighten it out. He freed up Iran to instigate wherever she can in order to have her idea of a new Middle East order not ours. Will we ever find a balance again?

Houthis say Riyadh keeps dropping phosphorus bombs as Iranian official meets Shiite militants!

Yemen conflict worries Middle East region



I do not like this! Middle East intelligence sources have discovered that the intrusive Iranian Revolutionary Guard held a summit with Hezbollah and the Shiite Houthi rebels in Yemen. This is just further proof of Iran’s direct involvement in economic, military, and logistical support. Iranian Foreign Minister Manoucher Mouttaki was in Yemen and announced Iran’s involvement in helping the Shiite Yemeni rebels fight Yemen and Sunni Saudi Arabia.

Numerous attempts by the IRG to deliver aid and arms to the Yemeni rebels have been thwarted by Yemen. They are becoming more numerous and brazen. I have to wonder again when this up to now proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia will result in direct confrontation? Then what?

Thousands Flee Iran as Noose Tightens

Two days ago we discussed what the Protestors are up against. It is getting worse by the second as this ramps up! I see that the violent crackdown against the protestors of the stolen election is creating a growing brain drain. The people leaving are vital to the current regime the betrayed Iran and the Revolution.

However those in control do not care as long as they are able to continue their clandestine nuclear agenda and continue their clandestine efforts in Syria, Iraq, and the entire middle East as the Revolutionary Guard spreads weapons and knowledge as they can to fight for their version of new Middle East order all compliments of George Bush and his attack against Iraq freeing them up to do so.

There is a growing exodus from Iran but people are not abandoning the cause. They are fleeing for their safety but not forgetting the cause or those they left behind. The UN reports that more than 4200 Iranians have fled. They have sought refuge status around the world since the bloody crackdown after the stolen election in June.

They are merely seeking to be heard and a return to their true Islamic Iran. They want their voices to be heard not brutally quieted. Many have escaped after being freed from jail. They are continuing their fight via technology from around the world, still doing what they can for the cause and those they left behind.

Sadegh Shojai fled Iran after government agents raided his Tehran apartment, seizing his computer and 700 copies of a book he published on staging revolutions. He did not but feels like he abandoned the cause so from the safety of Turkey he continues to churn out articles on anti Government web sites.

He is part of a small but spreading refugee exodus of businesspeople, dissidents, college students, journalists, athletes and other elite Iranians that is transforming the global face of Iran's resistance movement. Thousands Flee Iran as Noose Tightens

Gates Predicts Stronger Sanctions on Iran, Unless Nuclear Policy Changes They do not care, this will only anger authorities and spur them on to further crack down on protest leaders and embolden them to clamp down 100%ramping up their clandestine nuclear program and bring this battle against the children of the Revolution to a head.

The more I learned about The IRGC and the Basij the larger and more powerful they get. I became convinced they are now in control period!

They were set up to protect the ruling authority after 1979 and are supposed to be controlled By Ayatollah Khamenei who is supposed to be the final authority. I know Ahmadinejad and 2/3 of his first 21 member cabinet are ex IRGC members and that simply reinforces that I am increasingly led to think the IRGC has become the final authority not the Supreme leader.

The Supreme leader is appearing as a puppet needed to keep the religious leaders together and to make it appear that they are still in charge. I know I am not Iranian but I was stunned to find the thugs in the IRGC and the Basij number in the millions. General Yadollah Javani, director of the IRGC's political arm says his thugs we all saw in action beating and killing protesters prevented an attempt to overthrow Islamic rule but they violently continue to put down an attempt to get it back. How will this end?

Obama accepts Nobel peace prize justifies war for peace!

President Barack Obama Accepts Nobel Peace Prize



Comparing himself to the likes of Mahatma Gandhi and martin Luther King whose league he admits he is not in, Obama who is fighting two wars and just announced adding 30,000 troops to Afghanistan was speaking to a peace crowd in Oslo and he handled it masterfully.

He made a case for war while accepting the Nobel “peace” prize and it seemed to go over well. Only Obama could have pulled that off! President Obama for what it is worth announced he will continue to work with President Medvedev to reduce nuclear weapons, he heralded the fact that millions have been lifted from poverty though I do not see how in this environment, and announced he is seeking a better world for our children. Obama accepts Nobel peace prize

Obama said no Holy War is justified but a war to end it is and is morally justified and a war for peace! America has never fought a war against a Democracy! Obama did a better speech in Oslo than he did at West Point when he announced he was adding 30,000 troops.

In listening to him explaining Americans have always spilled their blood for the good of the world and this was a just war I was thinking it was going to be hard for Republicans to beat this up. It is! Republicans have not said a peep other than “it’s about time” They could not fault his speech so they are concentrating on the fact that thanks to them he has accomplished nothing to date to deserve the prize.
US media on Obama's Nobel Peace Prize

His accomplishment is turning the world away from WW3 that Bush had us headed. Undoubtedly he can thank Bush and the mess he made out of US and world order for being awarded the Nobel Peace prize. I am sick of hearing he has accomplished nothing and it is too early. BS! The entire world feels hope with the exception of the Republicans who want him to fail at every time. They are angry!

I think that is fantastic not because of his accomplishments but because of his efforts to unite the world. It is a bit ironic for the President of a country fighting two wars to win the peace prize.

However if he can bring peace to the Middle East and bring Afghanistan to a successful conclusion this award will be a fitting tribute and a message to the entire world to cooperate with Obama. This is big! Peace prizes for hope not accomplishments, man are we desperate!

Now let's see what the world does with the foundation President Obama has laid! We lost any hope for the future because of Bush's war mongering and the world unifying to take the US on! The entire world now sees hope for the future once again. There may be peace yet! I have been listening to people laughing about Obama getting the prize saying he did nothing! It was mentioned that Reagan should have gotten it. Hell Reagan started the mess with his over spending and war mongering that Bush was following. Obama is the shining knight the entire world has been waiting for.

He gives us all hope for peace! Regardless of Politics we should all be proud of Obama as our leader getting one for the team for a change instead of taking one! Obama has already changed the direction os the US and the world. Under Bush in our future the entire world saw nothing but death destruction and WW3. Obama has set us on the course to world peace. It is up to th entire world which road they choose.

Nostradamus gave us two roads to take into the future. Bush had us on the wrong road. The road to death destruction and a world shattering forever war. The entire world recognizes that under Obama he hit the cross roads and now has us on the right road, the road to a successful future or a chance of it. Obama has set the direction but it is up to the world which road we will travel. It is absolutely right that President Obama be recognized for the chance he has given us.

He is the right man at the right time to change and make History. It is up to all of us to take advantage of this opportunity let us not blow it! You know the awesome load he is carrying! He did this despite the Republicans hoping and working for his failure the whole way. They are the loudest in saying he is not worthy of the award but he is. Republicans are the big losers. They have failed again and proved as party leaders they are not worthy of calling themselves Americans'

No more leniency, Iran's chief prosecutor warns protestors: Leniency you call it?

I heard the other day from a friend that in the past few days a band of bikers (Lebas shakhsi, aka Basiji) have been trying to intimidate Mir Hossein Mousavi; by harassing him and preventing his car to move out of the Art Academy—where he works, as the fascist scene repeated, Mousavi got out of his car; away from his protectors; and walked towards the bikers; stood amongst them and said: Beat me! Kill me! Threaten me! You are just doing your job. That apparently moved many of the bikers into shame and regret and made them disperse.

Mousavi’s wife was attacked by the female version of these fascist mercenaries. She too had repeated: If you kill me, or cut me alive into pieces, will I not retract from my demand for justice and freedom. That was very brave of both of them and I think the time for that working is over. After the brutality we have been witnessing since the stolen elections I am stunned that Iran’s Chief prosecutor said there will be no more leniency.

From what I can see Kharroubi, Moussavi, and Khatami want a return to the peoples will and Islamic rule and the IRGC who is now in charge is preventing that at all costs. The as I now know has a very strong Political arm. The IRGC also conducts popular military training, they operate a domestic media apparatus and run education programs or should we say brain washing programs to constantly increase their numbers.

Since the 1979 Revolution they have also become a major contractor with ties to firms controlling billions of dollars in business, construction, finance and commerce and are a major contractor, with ties to firms controlling billions of dollars in business, construction, finance and commerce. The IRGC is thought to be factionalized as standouts such as ex IRGC officer Ali Larijani being critics of Ahmadinejad but I certainly do not think so. They have become a major force capable of taking control of Iran and I am afraid nothing less than that is what has happened.

Not only has the IRGC perpetrated the horror and brutality we have all witnessed in and out of jail and lord knows the horror we will never know about but to add insult to injury Brigadier General Yadollah Javani a senior official with Iran's increasingly powerful Revolutionary Guard is calling for the prosecution of two key opposition leaders and a former president, accusing them of fanning the protests that have gripped the nation since its disputed presidential election two months ago.

Opposition leaders Mir Hossein Moussavi and Mehdi Karroubi, along with former reformist President Mohammad Khatami, he says should be tried for attempting to lead a Western-backed revolution that aimed to topple the regime. I am sick of hearing that crap. That was not western backed though I am sure they and us have been cheering this on. Those people merely want their true people led Republic back not the IRGC controlled Islamist Republic of Iran.

He wants the judiciary to go after them, arrest them, put them on trial and punish them according to the law. Do you know what that will do to the unrest in Iran? It will blow big time and you have to think that is what Javani wants. Then he will be able to get all this out in the open and have his millions of thugs put this to rest once and for all but I don't like what I see happening.

Javani heads the Guard's political bureau. The Guard, which was initially created to protect the leaders of the revolution, is under the direct control of Iran's supreme leader and enforces the governments' Islamic codes and morality supposedly but I believe they are actually in control

Meanwhile Karroubi steadfastly maintains an independent panel needs to investigate the rape torture and death perpetrated on those in jail and by the IRG and Basij They were throwing people of bridges and shooting them in the head, they call that leniency? I am extremely concerned for those people!
