The View from Tehran today

It's not slowing down!

Neither are photoshopped, by the way, unlike some people's rallies!

How to spot a fake election

Mossad head wants Ahmedinjad as President

Amazing

The reality in Iran is not going to change because of
the elections. The world and we already know [Iranian President
Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad. If the reformist candidate [Mir Hossein] Mousavi
had won, Israel would have had a more serious problem because it would
need to explain to the world the danger of the Iranian threat, since
Mousavi is perceived internationally [...]

Socialists vs. Theocrats in Iran

About fuckin time!

Ahmedinajad uses Photoshop to boost Rally

How desperate.. How pathetic… No wonder they blocked the foreign Media from attending. BUSTED!

“A war against God”

Well, that didn't take long:

The sense of threat against the opposition was growing. Reuters
reported that Mohammadreza Habibi, the senior prosecutor in the central
province of Isfahan, had warned demonstrators that they could be executed under Islamic law.
“We warn the few elements controlled by foreigners who try to disrupt
domestic security by inciting individuals to destroy and to [...]

Subhuman orientalists

A notion exists amongst leftist ideologues: If a revolution takes place that isn't started by the poorest elements of society, then it has no merit and shouldn't be supported. The concept behind such a notion is simple: Every society has more poor people, than rich people, therefore the poor are more the public than the [...]

Ahmedinjad, Privately!

Kinda explains his complicated relationship with technology!

An e-mail from Tehran

Just got this e-mail from a friend in Tehran, whom I asked to brief me on what's going on. The friend sent it from the French Research center, and was abruptly disrupted because the french embassy forced everyone to evacuate due to the Basij now attacking the center. Here is the text:

So this is freaky [...]

Hezbollah is operating in Tehran

Der Spidgel just confirmed the rumors, that many of the guys that are cracking down on the demonstrators in the streets are lebanese hezbollah members. According to them, there are 5000 Hezbollah members in Iran that are part of the crackdown on the students. This is a big mistake. You don't bring an arab [...]

Easy being green!

Andrew Sullivan went Green for his support of the revolution, so did Instapundit. Someone called John Cole doesn't like it, but who the fuck is John Cole anyway? As for this blogger, those who read me know I've always been green, baby!

Even the Grabage collectors are in

You can see them in this video. I guess it's no longer a Calvin Klein revolution, huh?

Ahmedinjad left Iran

To Russia. On an official visit. Wouldn't it be cool if the country he left isn't there for him to come back to?

Your House is not safe

What living in Iran these days is like!

The young clerics are joining the revolution

 A small tidbit I missed the first time around

A young cleric from the Shiite holy city of Qom addressed the crowd. "I
have come to bring you a message from Qom," he said. "Without a doubt,
all clerical scholars are against the current situation. The only
person acceptable to them is Mr. Mousavi, they have rejected Mr.
Ahmadinejad's request [...]

And according to Radio Payam, 7 people got killed near Tahran..
God knows what the real casualty number is!

On Iran

*Scroll down for updates*

Ok, so no, I wasn't hiding under a rock for the past few days, and I wasn't ignoring the Iranian election either. I was simply overwhelmed by it. I mean, here i was, 2 days ago, watching A.J. giving his victory speech, and thinking"this is totaly what the democrats must have felt [...]

And the blah blah begins

Iran: The US should apologize for past crimes.
US: We already apologized more than once for past crimes.
Iran: Yeah, but we don't really feel like you meant it! Grovel. Maybe that will do the trick!
I love Iran. LOVE IT!

Egypt, the new Superpower!

The day when Egypt- under the wise direction and leadership of our dear leader Hosny Mubarak- has finally ascended to its rightful place and joined the ranks of the World's Super Power club is here, and I am happier [...]
