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!
