Daughter of former Iranian president Rafsanjani jailed, son returns from exile to face incitement charges

 Daughter of former Iranian president jailed The jailing of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani's daughter was announced Sunday morning in a statement published by the prosecutor's office in Tehran: "Faezeh Hashemi was arrested Saturday to serve her sentence," it stated. The Fars news agency reported she was detained in Evin Prison in Tehran. 

 Faezeh Hashemi Rafsanjani was among the thousands of protesters arrested during the protests that erupted after the announcement of the election results in 2009. Authorities had earlier released the daughter of the former president, but she was sentenced in late 2011 for six months in prison for "propaganda against the regime". Her sentence had hitherto not been applied. A son of Rafsanjani, Mehdi Hashemi, also referred to a judicial proceeding, left Iran three years ago and lives in London.

Ex-Iranian president's son returns from exile in UK: Ex-Iranian president's son returns from exile in UK,Rafsanjani will face charges of inciting unrest following the 2009 election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.: The son of former Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani returned to Iran from exile to answer charges of inciting unrest after a disputed election in 2009, fueling speculation that Rafsanjani's influence in Tehran may once again be growing.

A look back at a very tenuous time for Iranian's and you can bet the issue is not settled yet in Iran. As usual it goes underground seethes and resurfaces later.

Protesters clash with security forces, who, it is reported, have detained the daughter of Iran's former president, Faezeh Rafsanjani, the daughter of ex-president, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, has been among those arrested for participating in the protest. 

Reports of new protests in Iran as Anti-government protesters have gathered in Tehran and other cities to honor two who died during earlier demonstration.This is not good!

The government had warned that it would crack down on any illegal gatherings. What a coincidence that the Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards "whose really in charge" warned the public that Sunday's protests would be bloody because "opposition plans to shoot people." That, opposition groups worry, could be an attempt to build a justification for a violent crackdown and you can count on the fact this just gave cover to the IRG and Basij to murder as many as possible.

Iran's opposition has raised the stakes by openly labeling the struggle as a fight against "a religious dictatorship," according to a statement. The statement, endorsed by opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, appears for the first time to give the opposition's goal some clarity after tens of thousands of supporters took to the streets of Iran calling for regime change last Monday. "

The system governing Iran now is neither Islamic nor a Republic. The Islamic Republic has already collapsed at the hands of this regime," said Mr. Karroubi on Friday, in one of his harshest criticisms of the government, according to his website citing a message he sent to supporters through an advisor.

Karroubi dares Tehran to try him, the opposition leader, who is currently under house arrest, says people should get to know the truth. I agree and the whole world should call for a trial!


It's about time! They will never get the truth out to the country though nor do the multiple millions in the IRG and Basij and their millions of fascist followers want the truth out.

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 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.Iran is not going to let their fascist agenda be stopped now.

We gave Iran their nuclear start in the fifties they are not going to stop and we will not know where they are till they possess a nuke.

We gave Iran their start in the fifties and once Khomenei returned from exile their efforts to control the middle east and develop nuclear power and weapons began in earnest. 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. 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 atoms for peace

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 from numerous discussions here that Iran is involved in every Middle Eastern country not just Yemen, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia where they have corrupted elections for Shiite interests in Iraq, backing rebels in Yemen, and instigating attacks on Saudi oil fields. Bush freed Iran to instigate far and wide and are even training Taliban on their border. Any new actions will only serve to worsen their instigation and cause them to cause chaos everywhere they can and further Bush's total Middle East breakdown Period.

You know, I have long said that Iran’s civilian nuclear program is a cover for their nuclear weapons program. They have been working at this for over 60 years nobody can seriously think anything can stop them without direct confrontation after they have gone this far. That would mean war whether it's Russia, the US or China. All we can hope for is that it is kept limited and not allowed to develop into WW3. Iran is not going to be stopped peacefully or let her agenda be derailed by anyone!

I'll tell you, Iran is not Syria or Libya. If and when the so called Arab spring hits Persian Iran it is going to be hell for those people. You know what the IRG did to the people during the election protests. They slaughtered and jailed anyone looking for truth and Democracy`.I am afraid that will be mild compared to what they are capable of.

Iran: Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi 'arrested' some think killed!

Iran: Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi 'arrested'

US Criticizes Iran's Detention of Opposition Leaders Tehran denies Mousavi and Krroubi were arrested and taken to Heshmatiyeh jail in Tehran but their staff and the BBC have reported it and that their wives were arrested with them and the US has criticized Iran's detention of the two opposition leaders as "unacceptable" and called for their release.

Iran security forces fired teargas and clashed with opposition supporters in Tehran on Tuesday when demonstrators were rallying to demand the release of two opposition leaders I thought the arrest didn't happen but the fight with the IRG and Basij did. This is really troubling! What will the people do?

The government had warned that it would crack down on any illegal gatherings. What a coincidence that the Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards "whose really in charge" warned the public that protests would be bloody because "opposition plans to shoot people."

This is a serious development for the protesters of this fascist regime. What will the IRG and the Basij do next? What will the people who know they are under Ahmadinejad's, the IRG, and the Basij's yoke do? This can be bad!

Qum clerical leaders side with movement dismissed as agents of the west so Khamenei can clamp down on them too!

Iran's civil war gets closer ever day as mullahs openly flaunt him and Khamenei increasingly blames the west for instigating them so he can brutalize them too!

With the rapidly changing events here in the US, With North Korea, China's crackdown, Afghanistan, Iraq, Obama in Russia, I have to digress and once again discuss Iran as it affects the entire world and though unity is asked for the ugly set up to civil war gets closer every day!

I was pretty pleased a few weeks back when Grand Ayatollah Montazeri said no one in their right mind could believe Ahmadinejad won the election particularly with the supposed landslide he was "given" Montazeri decried the Brutality and rightly said a Government not respecting the people's vote has no Religious or Political legitimacy whatsoever. Those on the side of the reform movement must know by now that does not matter to Khamenei. Iran's senior ayatollah slams election, confirming split | McClatchy

Having legitimacy is not Khamenei's concern! He betrayed the 1979 revolution right off the bat. That is why the most popular Ayatollah in Iran left Iran for Iraq and has never returned, Ayatollah Sistani is gaining more converts every day. Ayatollah Montazeri was a leader of the Revolution too and has disagreed with Khamenei's betrayal of the Revolution. Instead of leaving like Ayatollah Sistani he chose to stay in Iran and has frequently butted heads with Khamenei.

Now we can include the Religious leaders of Qum in continuing to demand the release of the "children of the Revolution" but that will never happen. Releasing them and the thousands taken prisoner would instantly get this civil war going instead of having it on slow burn. A serious rift has opened because of Khamenei's brutality and disdain for the will of the people so he can continue his farce of a Religious theocratic Democracy.

The Provocateur: A Split in the Mullahs

This is not going to be good! This will only continue to come to a head until it there is either a very violent crackdown or civil war occurs. It is in the hands of the Ayatollah's and the people not the Government.By definition this is going to be much worse than the 1979 revolution that brought the current brutal regime in if they are to succeed in removing it. Iran Opposition Calls for End to Crackdown

The clerical and public split from Khamenei's once absolute word continues to grow every day. The important group of Religious leaders and teachers of Qum have come out squarely on the side of the people and Moussavi. A winning combination is taking shape. One that can take back the true meaning of Iran. This growing chorus of leaders calling the new Administration illegitimate represents the most significant historic crack, crack?, chasm since the 1979 Revolution. The clerical establishment from the Holy city of Qum have come squarely down on the side of the reform movement. The movement to recapture the true meaning of the 1979 Revolution continues to grow until? Clerical Leaders Defy Ayatollah on Iran Election - NYTimes.com

* In closing I have to reiterate Moussavi,Karroubi, Khatami. Rafsanjani, not the Religious leaders of Qum are all stating exactly why Ayatollah Sistani the most powerful Ayatollah in Iran has stayed out of Iran since the 1979 Revolution. He said the Revolution was betrayed and it was. I still look for an active alliance of Sistani, Rafsanjani, and Moussavi as this civil war progresses. That I believe is just what the world needs.

Moussavi and Mehdi Karroubi call Ahmadinejad illegitimate vow to continue fight! US downplays his role in future talks!

Ahmadinejad heckled outside Mosque by Moussavi supporters



Jon Bon Jovi Stand by me in Farsi



Joan Baez we shall over come in Farsi


Before I get into that I just heard that a Canadian Iranian reporter Maziar Bahari who was missing for 9 days "supposedly" just admitted that there is a possibility that reporters instigated some of the riots but credited the Basij for breaking it up. First, this bothers me because I know it is a lie! Last week I was listening to CNN reporter who was called in and told someone wanted to talk to his. A large Burly man told him in the IRG he supposed told him they were told he was writing untrue information and had to leave.

The guy told him he could stay and all would be forgotten if he would write favorable stories about the horror he was seeing. Of course he refused and had to leave immediately. This is preposterous and another lie another set up. We don't know who is doing what there. We do not know what anyone is saying. Remember Saberi? Coming from Iran state TV you know it is a lie. This so called confession was undoubtedly coerced if it is even true. We can not verify it!

The arm twisting and attempts to keep the truth from getting out will never stop as long as Khamenei and Ahmadinejad are in power. The following story illustrates that. I can't say it enough that I am so impressed with what I have been seeing from the Iranian people since the election. I am including the songs in Farsi by Bon Jovi and Joan Baez to show solidarity with the Iranian people!

The other day there was a Government sanctioned rally and Moussavi supporters took the opportunity to show up and display support for Moussavi. Now Moussavi has found the opportunity to speak though Khamenei closed down his newspaper and web site and jailed 25 of his employees.

Moussavi despite being kept under raps came out with his wife Zahra Rahnavard and declared that he considered the new Government to be illegitimate. He said it in a way to show the principles of the 1979 Revolution were betrayed when he called for the release of the children of the Revolution. Mehdi Karroubi, a reformist cleric also declared the Government illegitimate and a betrayal. Karroubi too called for the release of the children of the Revolution. He also vowed to continue his fight. Shortly thereafter the daily newspaper sympathetic to him was shut down.

The Doctor who witnessed a Basiji shoot Neda Soltan from a motorcycle made that public and treated her fled to London before the order was given to arrest him. More than 1000 have simply disappeared because of their opposition to the stolen election. ex-President Mohammad Khatami still continues to be one of the fiercest critics of this coup! Mousavi says new Ahmadinejad government 'illegitimate'
In pursuing Iran talks, US downplays Ahmadinejad role

* In closing i have to say Moussavi and Karroubi are stating exactly why Atatollah Sistani the most powerful Ayatollah in Iran has stayed out of Iran since the 1979 Revolution. He said the Revolution was betrayed and it was. I still look for an active alliance of Sistani, Rafsanjani, and Moussavi as this civil war progresses. That I believe is just what the world needs.

In Iran we are watching The evolution of a Civil war!

Iran continues to race towards civil war, This affects the entire world.
Iran is now hunting down protesters using the very tools they relied on to get the word out to the world as to the brutality that they were enduring under Khamenei Ahmadinejad the Basij and ultimately Iran's Revolutionary Guard. When this first started I warned those using their cell phones to transmit pictures and text depicting the atrocities that were being rained down on them. Only because it became known that in March Iran purchased the software from a Finnish German concern the software allowing them the wherewithal to track who was sending the information.

It is the same technology used by all American police departments. I know there are some who say enough of covering Iran already but I can not because this is just developing and will effect the entire world. I first saw the end of the current Theocracy brought to power after the 1979 revolution. Then I thought we were watching the birth of a Revolution, then a military coup with the IRG and the Basiji. Now I am convinced we are watching a civil war and it will affect all of us.

The Basiji are in the hospitals arresting people they injured right in the emergency room before they have the opportunity to tell the medical staff the awful truth as to what happened to them. You have to wonder what is next. Iran has done everything possible to shut down opposition leader Mir Hossein Moussavi.

Ahmadinejad shut down his newspaper closed down his website supposedly have him under house arrest and have arrested some 25 of his employees for supposed actions against the State. Anyone caught or even suspected of communicating with Moussavi is subject to arrest and they are being arrested along with everyone else they can round up. Including IRG suspected of not being totally loyal. Often their houses are raided in the middle of the night and they're taken away screaming into the night never to be heard from again.

Despite all this and much more there is an intense power struggle going on behind the scenes. Rafsanjani is still fighting to wrest control from Khamenei. Her is said to be the second richest man in Iran. He has dominated Iranian Politics for thirty years. Up to now he was said to be one of the most powerful Political leaders in Iran. I remember when Khamenei spoke at the university saying he would crush any opposition he chided Ahmadinejad for saying Rafsanjani was corrupt. He was forced to defend him as a fellow member of the 1979 Revolution and a man who loves Iran that he has known fore 50 years.

On another related note 8 British Embassy workers were arrested as they headed to work. They were arrested for inciting and aiding and abetting the election dispute protesters. Amidst all this Khamenei coming right out saying Ahmadinejad was the winner meaning they had counted 40 million hand ballots in 2 hours hurt his credibility. Every move he has made since has only served to further erode his credibility. He just came out and called for peace and calm. He will have it but not because of people listening to Khamenei but because everyone that would speak up has been killed, arrested, or otherwise frightened into submission at lest for now.

While hard line cleric Khatami calls for the heads of all those continuing to contest the election Moussavi continues his defiance despite mounting opposition. Despite the veiled threat towards him Moussavi continues to call for the election to be annulled though there is no way it will be. The movement will go underground but it will eventually erupt into a civil war.

In closing Khamenei, Ahmadinejad, the IRG, and the Basiji have to be pushing towards this while blaming it on our intervention. They believe it will be in their favor as they have all the weapons power and money or so they think. They know that always trumps the will of the people but I don't know this time. With Rafsanjani the 2nd most powerful and richest man in Iran seeking to unseat Khamenei and Moussavi continuing to insist on a revote I still do not see the will of the people being adhered to. I only see civil war and it will in one way or the other affect the entire world.

Former Prince Reza Pahlavi is being contacted by IRG sick of killing and looking for a way out!

Did you see what happened yesterday? As would be Protesters were approaching Parliament 500 Government thugs armed with axes, guns, and clubs attacked them.. Hacking them up shooting them clubbing them and throwing them off a foot bridge! Old men women whoever! I just saw a report on Iranian TV that the Government forces kept things peaceful. I refuse to believe the truth can not get to the rest of the people. This is sick!

Mir Hossein Moussavi has been put under house arrest! I was listening to Prince Reza Pahlavi saying he is being increasingly contacted by Basij and Iranian Revolutionary Guard who just cannot harm and kill their fellow citizens any more. Some are seeking a way out of the country. Some of them have been taking off their uniforms and joining the people in protests. The other day I mentioned citizens know where they live and have started marking and targeting them. They have had enough! lPhoto from Reuters Pictures - News, photos, topics, and quotes of Former Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is seen before he speaks at the National Press Club in Washington June 22, 2009.

I said yesterday I was going to give the Iranian people a break as I thought they had been beaten into submission and now indiscriminately killed. The force being used on them I thought was overwhelming but I am so proud of them. They want their freedom period! They refuse to give up! Police have now taken to confiscating cell phones to keep people from communicating with each other.

Something has changed in Iran! This Brutality performed in the name of the brutal killer the so called Supreme Leader is way beyond police stat brutality. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has been beating old men and women to a pulp. Breaking arms and legs, maiming and killing their brothers and sisters, fellow Iranian's. Can they possibly live amongst the very people who they have been trying to destroy? Can the people live with them more importantly? Women are on the front line and being beat to a pulp. I just heard from an Iranian Woman that the beatings are being done by foreigner, Hamas and Hezbollah because Iranian men will not beat a woman. I don't know about that!

I understand the organization Reporters without Borders has just listed Iran as the country hands down with the most reporter in prison. 40 reporters have been rounded up and arrested under the auspices of pursuing illegal activities. This has not been declared but this is martial law! Protesters are fewer but they are fearful not dissuaded. I just saw pictures of armed uniformed police with their civilian clothes showing under their uniforms. The ranks seem to be cracking but not not the protesters but of the Gestapo who have had enough and are joining the people.

I just saw the official Iranian TV station is airing so called confessions this one was a Woman saying she and her son carried grenades to protests. That peeves me because even though they are being slaughtered I have not seen one lift a finger yet. That woman also said she was influenced by western sources. Gee she isn't being coerced is she? People are being taken out of their homes and told if you do not say what we want we will take your family away. Gee!

You know, It just dawned on me! These phony confessions are going to be used on the thousands of people they have captured many of them erroneously to punish them later as they have promised. Their fascist crap is only going to make this unrest fester and resurface later. These people are brave and I truly admire and respect them. They want their freedom and their tenacity humbles me. I personally believe that with all that has happened the last few days that this False Fascist Theocracy is crumbling!

Part 2 The Brutal Reality of Iran! Iran long a police state has become a State off Terror!

Did you see what happened yesterday? As would be Protesters were approaching Parliament 500 Gov't thugs armed with axes, guns, and clubs attacked them.. Hacking them up shooting them clubbing them and throwing them off a foot bridge! Old men women whoever! I just saw a report on Iranian TV that the Gov't forces kept things peaceful. I refuse to believe the truth can not get to the rest of the people. This is sick!

The crackdown on those poor freedom loving Iranian's has become overwhelming as they are terrorizing and killing indiscriminately. Those poor people are scared to hell and afraid to breathe. This has changed in an instant. The Government is now charging a bullet fee! Families have been made to pay a fee of $3000 for the bullet that killed their relative if they want to get the body back. One man's son was caught up in this and shot dead but when authorities found out he was a veteran of the Iran Iraq war they relented and gave them his sons body.

* It now gets worse by the second! They are doing everything to intimidate their own people! They now say they will be trying anyone that is in jail or whose names they have gathered in or out of the Hospital. * Khamenei has extended the deadline for another 5 days for anyone with complaints against the election fraud.What the hell good is that? Ahmadinejad is going to be inaugurated between July and August 19th. Registering a complaint will only give the enforcers one more way of tracking you down and taking retribution.

* One of those running for President even withdrew his complaint because of the violent crackdown and fears. Hamid Dabashi Professor of Iranian studies at Columbia University called Obama's speech on what is happening in Iran spot on and Congresses Resolution as a kiss of death. He said Obama is very wise as he may have to deal with Ahmadinejad yet he may have to deal with Musavi.

* I hate to tell him, those people are in hell. Everything I am afraid is the kiss of death and the Government of Iran is making sure of it. Iranian Officials will not back down! They are rounding up anyone even suspected of protesting or being against them. Iranian's throughout the country are living in sheer terror. They call that a great country? A stable Democracy?

* Iranian's were also warned by an unnamed former President not to wear green as it would make them a target of the Police State. * Some not all stores were closed to honor a call for a national strike. I would not have closed my doors at this point as that too would make you a target. * At this point those poor terrorized people must feel as the German's did in the 1930s when the brown shirts (Nazi's) were running the streets doing their terrorizing.

* also heard 6 members of the national soccer team have been kicked off the team for wearing green arm bans in sympathy of the protests. &* There is a large force of armed Basij and IRG on street corners and swarming the streets. This is more than a crack down! Why would they need so much repression if the elections were fair? Things have quieted down for now but it is only out of fear gut wrenching fear to even be in Iran right now.
* This is not good! I found out Iranian Authorities can monitor all cell phone calls and images because of software purchased March 19th from a German Finnish venture. I understand they can not monitor in real time but lord help those who have been using them during the protests when authorities do have time to dig through them.

** You can not say Iran has become a police state it has long been a police state. This is now a terror state! Two women just arriving State side from Tehran one in a wheel chair from injuries sustained when they were trampled by fleeing protesters said it is now sheer terror. Horrifying! Old, Young, children, they are being beaten to death. Iran has become a state of terror!

** Those poor people need help. People are crying every night in Iran. At this point it seems all we can do is cry with them! Those two women would not use their name or show their face for fear of retribution on them or their family. They are terrified! People are now largely hiding in their houses hoping they are not pulled out and going to bed crying every night. The police state of Iran is going to crush this revolt if they have to kill everyone in the process. This is getting too oppressive for those poor people. For now I am going to wait watch listen and pray for Iranians.

Today part 1 of 2! The hope and Brutal Reality of Iran Part 1. Wishful thinking!

The Basij, the Young women, the Geeks the Mullah's are shaping the new face of Iran! Iran will never be the same!

For the last two days I have been working on a story for this morning about the Basij and the rapidly changing Dynamics on what is some kind of a Revolution happening in Iraq. I just heard something that has to start this off. I am listening to CNN and I just saw a video of a very provocatively dressed woman in High heels and a tight slit on the side dress walking down a street in Tehran. A man driving by rolled down his window and said Lady has the Revolution already begun?

What is happening in Iran is the first Revolution in the world not coming from leaders but happening from the ground up. Many young Iranian's are computer Geeks. It is they that are hacking into Government computers. Iran's Ayatollah's are clueless. They are accusing CNN of teaching students how to do it. I would laugh if I didn't know Iran was using this false information to blame everyone else for what they themselves have created. CNN does not have a clue how to do that but anyway.

Since the Revolution in 1979 the regime has been effective at controlling the people. This whole just developing rebellion has caught them off guard. They are losing control! It is happening from the bottom up and at the same time from within. The Ayatollah's just do not get it. They did this! They are reaping what they sowed! After the 1979 Revolution they were right to encourage education. They also encouraged procreation.

They never utilized the educated youth many of them women all looking for work, equality, and a sense of being. They are now seeing the fruit of their labor. The well educated youth long sick of being totally controlled by this supposed Religious theocracy were pushed over the edge by the stolen election to keep the hierarchies agenda going. They started rebelling and have taken control of the situation from the bottom up. from the bottom up.

Women are on the front lines and the geeks are getting the truth out to the world through the Governments attempts to shut down all electronic communications. Senior clerics and ex Presidents, very high public figures, ex Revolutionaries not softies, are now questioning the so called Supreme leader and joining the opposition. They have realized they can not work with this all controlling hard line Fascist system.

Musavi is one of the 1979 Revolutionaries and an insider. He did not plan this and had no idea this was going to happen. I believe he has become the accidental leader of this movement. He has been thrust to the forefront of what is called " the lipstick" Rebellion because of the many young women taking an active front line role in this. They look at Musavi as their Savior! The women are looking for equality and they and the brainiacs are looking for work. They are all looking to get out from underneath the stifling suppression.

They have gotten behind Musavi and Rafsanjani! I now understand Ahmadinejad is going to be sworn in some time between July and August 19. This most definitely will set much protesting and resulting violence in motion. It remains to be seen how this is going to turn out. Iranian ruling elite is already calling for investigation into the killing of protesters and I am afraid there will be more.

The Ayatollah's brutal oppressive all controlling regime has in the past closed down this wonderful society. Now the people have had enough and they are demanding it be opened back up. They want Iran back! If this has a chance to succeed and it does it will come from the ground up and it is. They also need establishment figures as leaders and they have them in Musavi and Rafsanjani at the least. They also need clerical leaders and they have them too. I was very pleased to see a video of some of them marching with the protesters to protect them from the IRG and the Basij.

The Guardian council has admitted that there was inequities in the vote said it does not matter. They said this is over and refused to nullify the vote. They are wrong this is not over it is just starting. Iran will never be the same! Iran's youth born of the 1979 Revolution will succeed in forming an Iran that has a place for them when all is said and done. They will have a place and not as the downtrodden beat up cog.

* In closing, The Basij are killing people and I understand citizens are starting to turn the tables on them. They know where they live and have started to act against them. They know where they live and for now are setting traps for them and marking their houses. I heard some students took pictures and I saw them on CNN of Basiji jumping on cars and smashing windows. The Government has been televising that it is the protesters causing all the damage. The students, the Geeks, the women shaped by the Basij are showing the world defiance and Iran's Government feasting on itself! Iran will never be the same!
