It should also be no shock that this violence is committed without the slightest mention in the French mainstream media, the same media that makes the tiniest allegations of anti-Semitism - even phony anti-Semitism, as is usually the case - into headlines.  The French police don't bother to investigate JDL crimes due to the Holocaust Exception,. which makes violent crimes committed by Jews not only completely legal, but admirable.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Excellent &lt;a href="http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_4874.shtml"&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt; of why the Jews are in the process of stealing - and stealing is the proper word - Jerusalem.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A lovely &lt;a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/07/06/2617502.htm"&gt;encounter&lt;/a&gt; by a reporter with those who not subject to the laws the rest of us are.

There is still much hidden - all the good stuff - but enough to learn a few things:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Since he was caught, Larry has been making his living cleaning restrooms, mopping floors, parking cars, digging trenches and cleaning cesspools.  If you think that doing the will of the Jewish Billionaires by working as a Shabbas goy betraying your own country will land you on easy street, think again.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Of course, it could be worse.  Franklin reported to American officials that two people approached him and suggested it would be a good idea for him to disappear before the trial of the two AIPACers.  Since Franklin had no competence at completely disappearing (a very difficult thing to do), and knew that the two people approaching him knew he had no such competence, Franklin took their approach, rightly, as a death threat.  Franklin had five conversations with one of them, wired by the FBI, but we're told there is insufficient evidence to prosecute.  Of course, everybody is sworn to keep the names secret on the basis of 'national security'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Franklin, who has ruined his life by suffering from what amounts to a terminal case of Islamophobia, seems to think the brave American officials fighting the extreme danger of Zionism - and in particular their ongoing search for 'Mega' - are a bunch of anti-Semites.  &lt;a href="http://www.forward.com/articles/108778/"&gt;Larry&lt;/a&gt;:  "In the intelligence community you refer to Israelis as 'Izzis' and it doesn't have a pleasant connotation. They can't get away with kikes, so they say Izzis."&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Larry has some interesting things to &lt;a href="http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=hsnews-000003158259&amp;amp;parm1=5&amp;amp;cpage=3"&gt;say&lt;/a&gt; about the infamous Rome meetings (but is vague about the good stuff, and can't remember anything about the Niger documents!):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Ghorbanifar's plan was "to buy off a bunch of truck drivers who would shut down the main arteries in Teheran. They would block traffic for miles around."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"At that point, he felt he could shake the regime from the inside.  . . .  He could get enough people up, a critical mass, to do the deed, to overthrow the regime."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ghorbanifar sketched out his scenario for Franklin during a 2 a.m. meeting in his hotel lobby, Franklin said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He wanted $5 million. "Seed money."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Franklin didn't like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I didn't tell him, but I thought it was amateurish and would've gotten people killed and America embarrassed. And we would be out $5 million, while he would be $5 million richer."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As loony as it was, Franklin says some of his neoconservative colleagues back in Washington liked the idea, among them, Cheney's top national security aide, John Hannah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He was wondering why I didn't support Ghorbanifar," Franklin said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hannah would not discuss the affair for the record except to say he never met with Franklin to discuss it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apprised of that response, Franklin stuck to his guns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh, yes, he did," Franklin said. "It was at the Cosi restaurant near the Old Executive Office Building. I remember it in spades.""&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note how close this is to the general strike much beloved by Juan Cole and his ilk.  The recent failed coup appears to be part of a much larger Ledeen-Ghorbanifar plan that failed simply because most Iranians were happy with the guy they voted for, and were unhappy with outside interference.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Speaking of a larger plan, the original Franklin-AIPACer meeting was arranged by a dangerous neocon who has flown largely under the radar named Michael Makovsky.  He was in the infamous treason factory known as the Office of Special Plans, a man who had moved from the United States to Israel and had once wanted to become an &lt;a href="http://gorillaintheroom.blogspot.com/2005/03/outing-neocons-office-of-special-plans.html"&gt;Israeli&lt;/a&gt; diplomat.  It seems the Zionists figured he could do more harm inside the American government.  He is also largely responsible for this &lt;a href="http://www.bipartisanpolicy.org/ht/a/GetDocumentAction/i/8448"&gt;document&lt;/a&gt;, which is a bunch of lies about the Iranian nuclear program and seriously discusses an American or Israeli attack in Iran.  As I keep saying, there is not going to be an attack on Iran, but the details of the neocon wish list are becoming clear.  The recent phony coup in Iran is meant to begin  the destabilization which is supposed to bloom into a full-fledged installation of the Shah in the unrest caused after the American or Israeli attack on Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The best line of all, showing rare insight from the addled Larry, comes from the &lt;a href="http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/spytalk/2009/07/aipac-spy-figure-larry-frankli.html"&gt;discussion&lt;/a&gt; of the meeting with the guy who said he ought to 'disappear' (my emphasis in red, best line in green):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;""It was in West Virginia. I was parking cars at the time. He came to see me at the Charles Town Race Track. He said, 'Let's go to lunch and talk about raising money for my defense.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;we talked about all these rich people&lt;/span&gt;," Franklin continued. "&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;But first I had to agree to a scheme...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was going to go somewhere, and it was going to be arranged that I could occasionally meet my wife. It was supposed to be on a bridge."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Israel?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No," he said. "Florida."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who was the man who approached him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;the guy was definitely a Zionist&lt;/span&gt;," Franklin said. "And &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;he was a true believer. And like a lot of true believers, he's beyond good and evil. &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;They're not subject to the laws the rest of us are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;""&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never forget that much of the success of the 'one-issue' guys is that they suffer from a kind of insanity, a monomania to build Anti-Assimilation-Land that means that they will do anything - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;anything!&lt;/span&gt; - to achieve their one goal.  Those fighting them have to take a scorched-earth policy.  The only possible cure to the problem is the end of Jewish-controlled Israel, and thus the end of even the slightest hope of Anti-Assimilation-Land.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-1188178131511725159?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

A second source cited in the government's case against Hassan Almrei was not subjected to a lie-detector test, contrary to what the agency had claimed in court documents. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The disclosures were outlined in two letters written by Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley and obtained by the &lt;em&gt;Star &lt;/em&gt;earlier this week. They come just weeks after an Ottawa judge criticized CSIS for omitted evidence in a separate terrorism case, prompting an internal CSIS investigation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lorne Waldman, Almrei's lawyer, began closing submissions yesterday arguing the mistakes are an abuse of process and that the case must be thrown out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Since the proceedings are held partly in private and sources are not subjected to cross-examination, Waldman argued the court has to "rely on assurances by CSIS" that the information is accurate. The blunders amount to a "patter of consistent non-compliance," he said, and throws into question eight years of previous court decision based on faulty evidence.&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is exactly the same sort of obstruction of justice/perjury/contempt of court stunt that CSIS pulled in the &lt;a href="http://xymphora.blogspot.com/2009/06/csis-liars-and-uncomfortable-big.html"&gt;Harkat&lt;/a&gt; case.  Since the entire system is predicated on scrupulous honesty by CSIS - a poor replacement for the protections provided to everybody who hasn't fallen into Bibi's 'war on terror' - and CSIS is now providing evidence of a consistent pattern of deception, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;all&lt;/span&gt; the security certificates have to be thrown out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it time to prepare for the end of the 'war on terror'?  After all, the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sole&lt;/span&gt; purpose for the 'war on terror' is to allow Jews to steal land.  Even the CIA is predicting the end of Jew-controlled Israel within the next decade or so, and once Jew-controlled Israel is gone Jews will no longer have an opportunity to steal land and thus will have no more need for Bibi's 'war on terror'.  The rest of us should throw off our chains now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-3924117077541059738?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Shareholders of companies losing huge contracts because they refuse to stop dealing with Israel should start suing the officers and directors of such companies for failing to meet their fiduciary obligations.  Tribal obligations don't trump duties to the company and its shareholders.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The attempted coup in Iran taught us to put such notables as Juan Cole, Robert Dreyfuss, and even Al Giordano on the permanent blacklist as either idiots or American imperialists (same thing, come to think about it), but Robert Perry comes &lt;a href="http://www.consortiumnews.com/2009/062409.html"&gt;through&lt;/a&gt; with some deep analysis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-633831207077941609?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Lance believes that Fitzgerald's motive is to protect himself and the FBI from allegations that they bungled the investigation of terrorism in the 90s, thus permitting both the 1993 and 2001 attacks on the WTC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In particular, Lance describes a remarkable FBI intelligence operation, where they used a jailed mobster named Gregory Scarpa Jr.  Scarpa's cell was next to the cells of Ramzi Yousef - who Lance believes is one of the masterminds behind all recent terrorist plots - and Abdul Hakim Murad.  The two terrorists used Scarpa as the go-between in passing their messages in jail, and Scarpa agreed to copy them for the FBI.  Scarpa was even willing to set up an FBI agent as a phony mobster to meet with their associates outside the jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this fell through when the FBI decided to really go after Scarpa as part of their bigger campaign against the Mob.  In effect, they decided to pursue the Mob in New York at the expense of pursuing terrorists in New York, on the theory that they had completely ended the terrorist threat to New York with their wiping out the 1993 bombing cell. Lance thinks that Fitzgerald was afraid that if he relied on Scarpa's materials from the terrorists he would give too much credibility to Scarpa, thus damaging his mobster case against Scarpa.  The FBI took the position that the Scarpa materials were fake, cooked up by Scarpa presumably to aid him in his own legal troubles.  Thus, Fitzgerald and the FBI ignored the evidence that would have allowed them to stop the September 11 attacks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-6102731962784602789?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

They would set him up in compromising positions, have a series of families of 'victims' sue him, portray him in the mass media as a serial pedophile thus denying him any defense (of course, even with all the negative publicity, the families kept sending the children over), force him to settle the lawsuits, and then lend him the money to pay them, all on the security of his once considerable assets.  This process of stealing his money went on for years, until there was nothing left to steal.  They then came up with the idea of having the frail Jackson pay everything off with a huge concert tour, one that neither they nor Jackson thought he could physically survive.  If he didn't do it, they would seize all his assets and ruin him.  Essentially, they decided to go for the age-old solution, the pound of flesh.  Jackson would pay them off with his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to his many health scares, it became &lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-7060-Insurance-Industry-Examiner%7Ey2009m6d25-Michael-Jackson-had-problems-getting-tour-insurance"&gt;impossible&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/mar/16/michael-jackson-o2-arena-insurance"&gt;to&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009/jun/26/michael-jackson-tour-insurance"&gt;insure&lt;/a&gt; Jackson for the tour, particularly when the shysters got greedy and vastly extended the tour, so the promoters had to 'self-insure', meaning they would take all the risk if Jackson in fact couldn't finish the tour.  As everybody knew he wouldn't be able to survive the tour, this was unacceptable, and Jackson became more valuable dead than alive.   Alive, he would just create more debt to be shared amongst the creditors, with no more assets to pay them off.  Dead before the tour, the banksters could divvy up his tangible assets and use his preexisting insurance to cover the rest (they almost certainly had insurance on his life as security for their loans).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jackson, no dummy, was completely hip to what was going on, and who was stealing from him.  "&lt;a href="http://www.adl.org/presrele/ASUS_12/2662_12.asp"&gt;Jew&lt;/a&gt; me, Sue me" and "Kick me, Kike me."  And (see also &lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1132475611341&amp;amp;pagename=JPArticle%2FShowFull"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"&lt;a href="http://www.byroncrawford.com/2005/11/michael_jackson.html"&gt;Is&lt;/a&gt; Michael Jackson a hardcore, Mel Gibson-style anti-semite, or is this just another case of the Jew-run media trying to make a brother look bad?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you haven't already heard, tapes have recently been released to the media of Wacko Jackson accusing Jewish people of trying to suck his blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To wit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In phone messages obtained by ABC News, the apparently prejudiced pop star likens them to "leeches" and claims they conspired to leave him "penniless."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They suck...they're like leeches...I'm so tired of it," Jackson tells former adviser Dieter Wiesner in one of them. "The Jews do it on purpose."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ugly message, which was made two years ago and aired yesterday on "Good Morning America," was one of several provided by Wiesner's lawyer, Howard King.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One can presume that these phone messages were leaked to their cousins in the media by this Wiesner fellow and another fellow named Marc Schaffel, who are currently suing Michael Jackson for money they say he owes them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds like some pretty shysty business, if you ask me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then check out how they try to play Jacko, bringing up old shit from 10 years ago and also the fact that he recently relocated to Jew-hater country out in the Middle East, as if that has to do with anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Jackson had to apologize to Jewish groups a decade ago after he included lyrics like "Jew me/Sue me/Everybody do me/Kick me/Kike me" on the song "They Don't Care About Us."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jackson, who relocated to Bahrain after he was acquitted of child molesting charges, did not respond to the revelations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know they did that shit on purpose..."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,104516,00.html"&gt;Brothel&lt;/a&gt;-owner Wiesner's suit was &lt;a href="http://site2.mjeol.com/mjeol-bullet/dieter-wiesner-lawsuit-dismissed-minibullet-53.html"&gt;dismissed&lt;/a&gt;, although it appears there may have been some kind of settlement (of course, Jackson let his true feelings out to Wiesner as Wiesner was one of the few financial people around him who wasn't Jewish). Marc Schaffel, whose job before hooking onto Jackson was a &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/the-baffling-case-of-jacko-the-gay-porn-king-and-bags-of-cash-406365.html"&gt;gay&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,320834,00.html"&gt;porn&lt;/a&gt; producer/director, only &lt;a href="http://michaeljacksonstrial.blogspot.com/2006_07_09_archive.html"&gt;won&lt;/a&gt; a small amount of what he originally claimed, and Jackson's countersuit was successful (it is &lt;a href="http://origin.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,176566,00.html"&gt;clear&lt;/a&gt; that Schaffel was the direct target of Jackson's rant to Wiesner).  Jackson lost his ownership of the Beatles catalogue to Sony, run at the time by Tommy &lt;a href="http://www.nndb.com/event/931/000084679/"&gt;Mottola&lt;/a&gt;, described by Jackson as the '&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,55539,00.html"&gt;devil&lt;/a&gt;'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think we can assume that Jackson's increasing connections to the Muslim Middle East, and his probable conversion to Islam - after being forced (?) to pick a surrogate &lt;a href="http://jta.org/news/article/2009/06/28/1006174/jackson-kids-jewish-mother-could-regain-custody"&gt;Jewish&lt;/a&gt; mother for his children (more access to his money) - was partly an attempt to escape the shysters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The greed of the shysters extended the tour to the point where it was uninsurable.  Either the stress of the impossible tour killed him, or they arranged for him to be given a 'hot shot' -  a mix of whatever was supposed to be in the shot with heart-attack inducing, and completely undetectable, potassium chloride - to finish him off (note how the mainstream press is suddenly filled with stories of his drug addictions).  Either way, they got their pound of flesh.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-8192520653945745313?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Imagine what Karl Rove could have done using Twitter in Florida.  The Zionist asset &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Der Spiegel&lt;/span&gt; is already raising the &lt;a href="http://atheonews.blogspot.com/2009/06/german-authorities-caution-against.html"&gt;alarm&lt;/a&gt;, starting the destabilization and delegitimization process even before the voting starts in Germany.  Of course, this will lead to the banning of Twitter during elections, which will prevent legitimate communication of election fraud.  Those who are blackmailing &lt;a href="http://cryptome.info/0001/merkel-spy.htm"&gt;Merkel&lt;/a&gt; - presumably with Stasi and/or KGB files - wouldn't want to lose such a valuable asset.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-7154360848302015091?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The mystery is what is really motivating the 'reformers' within Iran (if you say 'reform', we'll just laugh).  The answer may be very simple.  Ahmadinejad promised in his first term to root out corruption, and didn't.  In Iran, 'corruption' is code for the activities of the Rafsanjani family.  Ahmadinejad, known as a straight-shooter, will almost certainly take steps to fulfil his repeated promise this term.  The only way Rafsanjani can block this is to stage a coup to attempt to remove Ahmadinejad.

Beeman, &lt;a href="http://www.golshan.com/english/articles/20030613a.htm"&gt;writing&lt;/a&gt; during the late Bush Administration, I think July 2008 (more Beeman &lt;a href="http://news.newamericamedia.org/news/view_article.html?article_id=0a3f42cca536140506e6a708be367b98"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;; my emphasis in red):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The United States is planning for “regime change” in Iran, and it may have already picked the new rulers of that country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;The form of government would be a constitutional monarchy, with the head of state being Reza Pahlavi, son of the former Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi&lt;/span&gt;, who was deposed in the 1978-79 Islamic revolution.&lt;br /&gt;The Bush administration apparently has a handpicked American “plumber” ready to go in Iran, much like Ahmed Chalabi in Iraq. This is Sohrab “Rob” Sobhani, an Iranian-American associated with the neoconservatives in Washington. With Reza Pahlavi as Shah, the 40-ish Sobhani would presumably be prime minister or president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;His promoter is American Enterprise Institute Freedom Chair Holder Michael Ledeen&lt;/span&gt;, who has written and lectured obsessively about regime change in Iran. Ledeen was reported by the Washington Post to be one of four advisers in regular consultation with White House strategist, Karl Rove. Ledeen and Sobhani recently established the Coalition for Democracy in Iran (CDI) to promote this regime change.&lt;br /&gt;Reza Pahlavi had been living quietly in Maryland until Sept. 11, when he began to address the Iranian community via the internet and satellite television. This prompted the Iranian community to dub him the “Internet Prince.”&lt;br /&gt;Rob Sobhani, who has known Reza Pahlavi since childhood, was actually born in Kansas. His doctorate, completed in 1987, dealt with Iranian-Israeli relations from 1948-88. He became a specialist in energy policy. He has had his finger in many pies in Washington, including consultation on the construction of an oil and gas pipeline across Afghanistan. Well-connected politically, he ran twice for the US Senate from Maryland as a Republican. Although his heritage is Iranian, he is far from being an expert on Iranian society, politics or economics. His move to the Washington area put him in close contact with his old friend, Reza Pahlavi.&lt;br /&gt;Sobhani’s interests in regime change are very clear and very consonant with American desires. They are largely commercial. Following his graduation from Georgetown, he became head of a Caspian Energy Consulting, a firm dealing with the transport and sale of Caspian oil. He has had his finger in many pies in Washington, including an active role on the construction of an oil and gas pipeline across Afghanistan. On March 5, 2001 in an article written with Pennsylvania State business professor, Fariborz Ghadar, he advocated a number of the policies that have since been carried out by the US, including containing the Taleban and Saddam Hussein. He also notes that supporting a secularization of Iran would lead to easier transport of Caspian oil through Iranian territory.&lt;br /&gt;Of equal importance, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Sobhani also sees secularization of Iran as beneficial for Israel&lt;/span&gt;. This is not surprising, since Israel and Iran had excellent ties before the 1978-9 Islamic Revolution. The Iranian Jewish community is the oldest continuous Jewish community in the world. The community is as prominent in diaspora as in Iran, with members in powerful positions in the Israeli government and in American life, particularly in California. Elimination of the clerical regime in Iran would eliminate support for Hizbullah. It might even lead to renewed trade between Tehran and Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Ledeen, Sobhani and Morris Amitay, former director of the principal Israeli lobbying group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) joined forces at the American Enterprise Institute in a seminar entitled The Future of Iran, in which they called for regime change.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;AIPAC has indicated support for the restoration of Reza Pahlavi to the throne, although they wish to remain in the background&lt;/span&gt;, as reported by Mark Perelman on May 16 in the New York Jewish Daily Forward. Perelman quotes one AIPAC official as stating that “&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;the Jewish groups are telling Reza that they will give him private support and help arrange meetings with US officials&lt;/span&gt;,”   Since Sept. 11, 2001, Sobhani has appeared widely in the media, urging the US government to support an internal revolution in Iran. His appearances can be seen as growing endorsement of his possible role as a future leader in a post-coup Iran, as his image is honed by the media-savvy Bush administration."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Sobhani and Ledeen clearly feel that the United States can produce an internal coup in Iran. Ledeen has said as much in The War Against the Terror Masters and many articles for the National Review Online, the Wall Street Journal and other media outlets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Ledeen and Sobhani expect to have the coup first, then present Reza Pahlavi as the emergent ruler.&lt;/span&gt; Ledeen said as much in a rally in Los Angeles for Iranian monarchists, saying in effect: &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Let’s have the revolution first, then worry about who will rule Iran.&lt;/span&gt; He put a price tag on the operation saying, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;“I think you can buy yourself free Iran today for $20 million.”&lt;/span&gt; "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People of Iran, here's your new &lt;a href="http://wdednh.wordpress.com/2009/06/22/crown-prince-of-iran-reza-pahlavi-speaks-on-the-events-in-iran/"&gt;Shah&lt;/a&gt;.  The Jews who run him should give him one of their Oscars for that crying performance (see also &lt;a href="http://dprogram.net/2009/06/22/msm-slain-neda-is-one-of-my-daughters-shahs-son-says/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).  Needless to say, he knows all about 'tyrants and their thugs'.  Note how he says the defeat of the protesters will lead to &lt;a href="http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Son_of_shah_says_protesters_defeat__06222009.html"&gt;nuclear&lt;/a&gt; war (!), and "will encourage extremism from the shores of the Levant to the energy jugular of the world".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-7088821704848294389?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Americans, having derived so much of their own personal self-worth from being part of this empire, can't admit that the empire is finished (largely as a result of their own stupidity), and have now entered the pathetic colonialist stage of history, much like the British over the past decades.  This psychological problem is why we're seeing both 'left' and right fall exactly in line in their approach to Iran, backing up the CIA/Mossad destabilization operations in Iran.  Watch how the 'left' falls all over itself praising analysis of the vote from Chatham House, the apparatus of the British foreign policy establishment, an institution the 'left' would have disdained in the past as much as it would disdain the sister operation of Chatham House, the Council on Foreign Relations.  It is telling how the 'left' accepts uncritically a report from an operation that is an integral part of the destabilization program.  In the pathetic colonialist stage of history, the differences between left and right fall away.  Everybody's a colonialist now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can see how the white man's burden actually requires the assistance of the American 'left' to assist Iran, a country with a universally recognized record of holding fair elections since the fall of the American-installed and -supported Shah, from a country which is universally acknowledged to have one of the most crooked electoral systems in the world.  All these American election experts can suddenly see through ballot boxes, and with the aid of insufficient data and a lot of misapplied statistics, are positive that the American-Empire-favored candidate won. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The poor Iranians are so incompetent they can't even fix an election properly (that's where the Americans could help - just call Diebold!).  The problem with Iran is that the real power rests in the hands of a few unelected religious guys, who vet all the candidates who are allowed to run.  If they wanted one guy to win, why would they admit other plausible candidates who had a chance of beating their guy?  It is a trick question. They didn't. They allowed a bunch of Rafsanjani's losers to run because they knew they would do badly.  The fact that the losers did so badly became the main plank of the destabilization campaign.  Everybody knew the losers were going to lose, and lose badly.  The only point of running was to use the loss as part of the program to weaken the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the Iranian intelligence and counter-intelligence operations, much praised for their record of competence over the years (they were trained by the Israelis during the time of the Shah), have let the country down.  Everybody relaxed when Obama replaced Bush.  It was a mistake.  Never turn your back on the Jews and their pathetic American servants.  Without access to a War For The Jews, the Jews fell back on Plan B, a Destabilization For The Jews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a lot of talk about how the Jews prefer Ahmadinejad as he allows them to work their propaganda campaign against the people of Iran, ideally, from the mainstream Jewish point of view, leading to an nuclear holocaust.  Its amazing how if you mention these issues you are an anti-Semite, while everybody assumes the entire world turns on what's good for the Jews.  We have to get out of this mindset.  The plan has always been &lt;a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2009/06/ahmadinejad-or-mousavi.html"&gt;destabilization&lt;/a&gt;, and weakening, of Iran.  Anything a guy like Pipes says in part of the wider program, leading eventually to the construction of Anti-Assimilation-Land across the Middle East.  The current regime in Iran is supposedly in the way of this, so the Jews will do whatever it takes to weaken the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've reached the late stages, where the Western interference has become a political issue in Iran.  Suddenly, many of the American intelligence assets are calling for the West to back off, and let the Iranians decide their own fate.  It is a shame they didn't think of that earlier, but of course the reason to call for this common sense is that the continued efforts of the destabilizers is starting to have a counterproductive effect, providing ammunition for the current Iranian regime.  If there is anything we should have learned over the decades, it is that the interference of the American Empire is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;never&lt;/span&gt; helpful, and in fact usually leads to tragedy.  Americans have such bad mojo that their slightest touch leads to death and misery.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-2308775500497011380?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Shaken by weeks of recent protests, and worried about the mounting criticism from several Western countries, the regime has taken unprecedented steps to head off a potential showdown with its own people:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Thousands of political activists, students, and others, have been rounded up and packed into prisons, subjected to torture, and in some cases murdered.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Children of parliamentarians have been summarily arrested, as have parents of Iranian democracy advocates living abroad.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Great efforts have gone into ensuring that Iranians cannot communicate with one another, either by telephone (cells have been shut down) or radio or television (the U.S.-based independent radio and television stations have been reporting a new jamming campaign against their satellite broadcasts. As of late on the night of the 8th, it was impossible to isolate the source of the jamming). Satellite dishes have been torn down, and smashed in the streets.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ditto for the press. Journalists have been arrested, newspapers have been closed. In short, everything the regime could do to isolate the Iranian people from the outside world has been done.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;New security forces have been recruited. Lacking confidence in the willingness of Iranians to beat and kill their own, the regime has brought in Lebanese Hezbollahi, members of the Badr Brigades from Iraq (where they'd been dispatched as part of the 'insurgency' against American forces), the usual 'Afghan Arabs,' and, reportedly, Palestinian toughs. All reminiscent of the Chinese tactics in Tiananmen Square, where they imported soldiers from remote regions to suppress the pro-democracy uprising.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who believe that revolution is a test of will, and that a regime willing to use any amount of terror required to retain power will probably survive, these are at once ominous and encouraging signs. Ominous, because this regime does not appear ready to go quietly; encouraging, because the mullahs are not facing a handful of revolutionaries, but a mass movement.

What happened?  Did he start unprovoked wars?  Did he steal the land of others?  Did he lock people up in a cage and then slaughter them?  Did he preside over great human suffering?  Just what the hell did he do between the previous election and this one to make him, apparently, the most hated man on earth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad stepped on Superman's cape.  He didn't deny the Holocaust, but he talked about it in an insufficiently deferential way, ignoring the iron-clad rule that Goyim aren't allowed to say anything about the Jewish holocaust except to exclaim how terrible it was, and how unique (I hope I stressed unique enough).  He didn't call for the destruction of Israel, but stated the fact that justice would eventually require democracy in that part of the world.  In other words, he questioned Jewish supremacism.  That's it.  That's what caused the Jews to used their media assets and their stranglehold over parts of certain American intelligence agencies and assets to make a big deal out of this one election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The essential Jewishness of this attempted coup - and real destabilization - of Iran became clear to me on reading the 'I want to believe' &lt;a href="http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/2009/06/irans-got-red-states-and-blue-states-.html"&gt;posting&lt;/a&gt; by Weiss.  Jews hate Ahmadinejad because he insults them by impliedly refusing to acknowledge their superiority.  Even Blankfort outs himself with this phony left-right &lt;a href="http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/2009/06/will-the-western-left-side-with-the-iranian-resistance-.html"&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt;, where he even questions the orchestrated 'Western' campaign, questioning which is &lt;a href="http://pennyforyourthoughts2.blogspot.com/2009/06/contrasting-protest-coverage-iran-vs-g.html"&gt;increasingly&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2009/06/what_really_happened.html"&gt;bizarre&lt;/a&gt;.  The so-called American 'left' is in fact quite divided, with Blankfort's half being not leftists but conspiracists, and most of the true left siding with the editorial pages of the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/span&gt;.  We're somehow supposed to believe that this odd combination has to do with the right of Iranian women to flaunt the latest Paris fashions on the streets of Tehran.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-6202152746561633308?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

During the entire electoral campaign, no credible (or even dubious) charge of voter tampering was raised."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is curious that Mousavi won't accept anything less than another destabilizing election, a good time for a real coup.  More from Petras:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Recent events suggest that political leaders in Europe, and even some in Washington, do not accept the Zionist-mass media line of ‘stolen elections’. The White House has not suspended its offer of negotiations with the newly re-elected government but has focused rather on the repression of the opposition protesters (and not the vote count). Likewise, the 27 nation European Union expressed ‘serious concern about violence’ and called for the “aspirations of the Iranian people to be achieved through peaceful means and that freedom of expression be respected” (Financial Times June 16, 2009 p.4). Except for Sarkozy of France, no EU leader has questioned the outcome of the voting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;The wild card in the aftermath of the elections is the Israeli response: Netanyahu has signaled to his American Zionist followers that they should use the hoax of ‘electoral fraud’ to exert maximum pressure on the Obama regime to end all plans to meet with the newly re-elected Ahmadinejad regime. &lt;/p&gt; Paradoxically, US commentators (left, right and center) who bought into the electoral fraud hoax are inadvertently providing Netanyahu and his American followers with the arguments and fabrications: Where they see religious wars, we see class wars; where they see electoral fraud, we see imperial destabilization."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This conspiracy isn't going to destroy Iran, but it is going to weaken it.  The only good that has come out of this is that we have lengthened the list of American commentators who are working for the bad guys, i. e., Zionists and those deadenders in the dying American Empire who work for Zionists.  It is interesting that the first thing the elected President of Iran did after his overwhelming win was attend the &lt;a href="http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=13969"&gt;conference&lt;/a&gt; in Russia which put the nails in the Jewish-built coffin of the American Empire.

The heartening thing is that people are so hip to conspiracies now that the liars have made themselves something of a joke.  The links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;I have been justifiably attacking &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mondoweiss&lt;/span&gt;, but Weiss redeems himself a little bit - he's subsequently descended back into the Zionist ooze (and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tikun Olam&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2009/06/17/iranian-human-rights-group-reports-death-toll-at-32/"&gt;sinks&lt;/a&gt; ever deeper) - by posting some &lt;a href="http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/2009/06/tehran-is-burning-but-who-is-fuelling-the-fires----based-on-opinion-polls-conducted-a-few-weeks-before-the-election-by-terr.html"&gt;truth&lt;/a&gt;.  The internal conspiracy is all Rafsanjani, with the various opponents carefully crafted so that each would pare a little support from Ahmadinejad.  The Iranian people saw through the trick.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Twitter has proven itself as a wonderful intelligence agency tool - anonymous, immediate, with an air of veracity, and the ability to make what appear to be mutually confirming reports.  &lt;a href="http://trueslant.com/joshuakucera/2009/06/15/what-if-we-are-all-wrong-about-iran/"&gt;All&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2009/06/which_tweats_from_iran_are_tru.html?ft=1&amp;amp;f=103943429&amp;amp;sc=emaf"&gt;lies&lt;/a&gt;.  It is Twitter that fed, and continues to feed, the raw material for the American intelligence assets.  The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Jerusalem Post&lt;/span&gt; has now been &lt;a href="http://www.chartingstocks.net/2009/06/jpost-removes-the-evidence-and-issues-a-response-iranelection/"&gt;caught&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Charting Stocks&lt;/span&gt; of trying to scrub the evidence of the Israeli origin of many of the tweets.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;From the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://angryarab.blogspot.com/2009/06/mousavi-andthe-neoliberal-bastard.html"&gt;Angry&lt;/a&gt; Arab News Service&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"A colleague and friend sent me this (she/he does not want to be identified): 'Mousavi was (along with a couple of other major "reformists") were hotheaded rightwing Islamists back in the 1980s, and Mousavi in particular was responsible for purging universities of lefties, Jews, and Bahaiis. the other two people most associated with this same move from being university purgers to radical reformists are Abdulkarim Sorush and MohsenKadviar. The former is a philosopher and the latter a cleric, both of whom have very sophisticated arguments (the former based on Gadamer's hermeneutics; the latter based on his extensive training and certification as a faqih) about separating the mosque from the state. All three were involved with the early purges and now face the same fate...the other thing is that although Ahmadinejad has very populist rhetoric he is actually a neoliberal bastard economically, so....'"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to note that it is odd that this 'neoliberal bastard' is roundly criticized by the right for causing inflation by handing out too much oil money to the poor.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;"The &lt;a href="http://dissidentvoice.org/2009/06/the-iranian-election-and-a-hysterical-media/"&gt;Iranian&lt;/a&gt; Election and a Hysterical Media" (found &lt;a href="http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/mossad-cia-western-media-biggest-losers-in-iranian-election/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).  Of course, leftish writers work from a template which always ends with the conclusion that the only solution to this intractable problem is socialism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-1790880123714936208?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The CIA/Mossad coup failed, which isn't to say its planners will be disappointed, as they really only wanted to weaken Iran, and lessen any possibility of a rapprochement between Iran and the United States (and it appears that some of the 'rooms' in the mansion of the CIA - JJA reference - didn't go along with this plan).  Just think what a better world it would be if the United States treated Iran as it now treats Israel, and treated Israel as it now treats Iran.  Some links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&amp;amp;code=BHA20090616&amp;amp;articleId=13996"&gt;failure&lt;/a&gt; of the Rafsanjani/Mousavi scheming.  Having Mousavi lead the 'reformers' would be like the American left staging a revolution to get universal healthcare - looks like a revolution is what it might take! - and picking as their leader . . . George Bush.  Completely insane, and obvious to Iranians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How the Jews will &lt;a href="http://www.warandpiece.com/blogdirs/009357.html"&gt;spin&lt;/a&gt; it.  Luckily for almost everybody, it is no longer fashionable to be a Jew in Washington (or anywhere else, for that matter).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What do you do if you are a liberal living in a predominantly &lt;a href="http://notsylvia.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/one-third-of-the-iranian-people/"&gt;conservative&lt;/a&gt; country?  No I'm not talking about a resident of New York City living in the United States in 2008.  Iranian liberals have, to our way of looking at the world, some very legitimate grievances concerning who they can vote for, freedom of speech, religious freedom, freedom from being beat up by fanatical religious authorities, etc.  How do you make progress in these matters when most of society seems perfectly happy with the status quo?  Whatever the answer, what they are doing - hitching their wagon to crooks and Zionist intelligence assets - isn't the way to go.  While I'm sure many of the protesters are quite sincere, I can't help but be reminded of the similar protesters against Hugo Chavez, marching against things like progressive taxation and the end of feudal land-holdings.  The real reformer was Ahmadinejad, but in the upside-down world of American/Zionist analysis, bad guys are good, and good guys are bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-3246803412559131011?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Couple that with &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;agents provocateurs&lt;/span&gt; within Iran, intelligence assets in the United States playing up the story, and a candidate who ran not to win, but with the sole intention of breaking up the country after the election, and you have the Zionist recipe for destabilizaion, or worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you think about it, the fascination of certain parties with Iranian election corruption is rather funny.  The same people did nothing in the face of two recent cases of much worse election fraud in American presidential elections.  Even if the Iranians were committing fraud like crazy, Ahmadinejad would have received something like 58% rather than 63%, still by any measure a landslide.  On top of all that, the real power still rests in the clerics who determine who can run and make all the big decisions.  There is no possible explanation for this sudden interest in Iranian elections other than conspiracy.  Remember that Americans have never recovered from the embarrassment of the hostages and the Islamic Revolution in Iran.

This was insane.  It is also clear proof of the work of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;agents provocateurs&lt;/span&gt; within the protests, who are trying to cause 'regime change'.  Any guess as to who might be employing these &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;agents provocateurs&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember Wurmser's &lt;a href="http://xymphora.blogspot.com/2006/07/zionist-plan-for-middle-east.html"&gt;Zionist&lt;/a&gt; Plan for the Middle East?  The War For The Jews against Iraq was supposed to introduce a moderate Shi'ite regime in Iraq, which would in turn moderate the regime in Iran.  In fact, the business interests which have been so friendly to the Zionists (e. g., Ghorbanifar and the weapons dealers who aided in Iran-Contra), the group represented by Mousavi, is supposed to take over, and the 1979 revolution completely reversed.  Since the regime in place in Iraq isn't moderate, and is too friendly with the 'radicals' in Iran, World Jewry and its American host appears to have cooked up a plan to attempt 'regime change' the old fashioned way, through a phony revolution created by anarchy caused by rabble rousing and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;agents provocateurs&lt;/span&gt;.

It was always completely preposterous that the Obama guy in charge of negotiating with Iran was the co-founder - along with Richard Holbrooke, whose job it is to wreck Pakistan - of an &lt;a href="http://www.unitedagainstnucleariran.com/home"&gt;institute&lt;/a&gt; dedicated to nuking Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the most dependable newspaper in the world, the &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/5540211/Iran-protest-cancelled-as-leaked-election-results-show-Mahmoud-Amadinejad-came-third.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Telegraph&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (my emphasis in red):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Mr Mousavi's cancellation of the protest came as sporadic disturbances continued around the Iranian capital, and r&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;eports circulated&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;leaked&lt;/span&gt; interior ministry statistics showing him as the clear victor in last Friday's polls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The statistics, &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;circulated on Iranian blogs and websites&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;claimed&lt;/span&gt; Mr Mousavi had won 19.1 million votes while Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had won only 5.7 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two other candidates, reformist Mehdi Karoubi and hardliner Mohsen Rezai, won 13.4 million and 3.7 million respectively. &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The authenticity of the leaked figures could not be confirmed.&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try to remember that this is the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Telegraph&lt;/span&gt;, not the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Onion&lt;/span&gt; (a far more reliable news source).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, back in the real world, pollsters &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/14/AR2009061401757.html"&gt;explain&lt;/a&gt; how the final results are quite credible.  Mousavi, a politician who had been out of power for twenty years, entered the race at almost the last moment.  The poll showed he didn't even come close to Ahmadinejad amongst his own ethnic group.  Ahmadinejad is considered to be personally completely non-corrupt, while a major supporter of Mousavi, Hashemi Rafsanjani, is infamous in Iran for his &lt;a href="http://www.payvand.com/news/09/jun/1099.html"&gt;corruption&lt;/a&gt;.  Mousavi is also good pals with Manucher &lt;a href="http://www.moonofalabama.org/2009/06/some-dots-you-may-connect.html"&gt;Ghorbanifar&lt;/a&gt;!  Remember the meeting in Rome with Ledeen in which they cooked up the trickery which led to the disastrous American attack on Iraq?  Remember the Niger documents?  The connections to corruption and to the neocons make Mousavi's recent actions quite understandable.  He never thought he was going to win.  He was in the election from the get go as part of a neocon/Zionist plot to destabilize Iran and make the election 'illegitimate', thus making it easier for the Jews to claim that the United States 'had no negotiating partner'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more on the plausibility of the result, and why, see &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jun/13/iranian-election"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://notsylvia.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/why-ahmadinejad-won-the-iranian-elections/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-iran-erupts-as-voters-back-the-democrator-1704810.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; (although Fisk reminds me more and more of Thomas Friedman, and that is not a good thing) and &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/23745.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; (". . . &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ahmadinejad’s 62.6 percent of the vote in this year’s election is essentially the same as the 61.69 percent he received in the final count of the 2005 presidential election&lt;/span&gt;....).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was no mass murder by government forces, Mousavi wasn't killed or put under house arrest, the phones weren't shut down, the cell phones weren't shut down, Twitter wasn't shut down (although it is being heavily manipulated by the neocon forces; it's amusing how we heard about Twitter being shut down over . . . Twitter), the internet wasn't shut down (although all information systems were &lt;a href="http://www.renesys.com/blog/2009/06/strange-changes-in-iranian-int.shtml"&gt;slowed&lt;/a&gt; by the massive propaganda battle being fought by the neocons), the protests, some very violent, are being allowed to continue.  All the Zionist rumors were, as usual, bullshit.  The police and military did brutalize peaceful protesters  . . .  oh, sorry that was at &lt;a href="http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/43618"&gt;Netanyahu&lt;/a&gt;'s speech.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2009/06/15/whither-iran-dictatorship-or-democracy/"&gt;bullshit&lt;/a&gt; will continue, as World Jewry feels that destabilizing Iran is 'good for the Jews'.

Funny how these photos of 'oppression' reach us so quickly.  Note the pre-printed signs &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;in English&lt;/span&gt; (remember the '&lt;a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/8/6600512_46a5f3d527.jpg"&gt;Cedar&lt;/a&gt; revolution' in Lebanon, another American project?).  As far as I can tell, the police are trying to protect public property, the 'reform' protesters are throwing rocks at them and setting fire to buses.  Note the captions:  it is 'Iran's &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;moderate&lt;/span&gt; presidential candidate Mirhossein Mousavi' (as opposed to 'Hardline incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad').  I like the one where a 'policeman raises his arm to hit a supporter of Iran's moderate presidential candidate Mirhossein Mousavi'.  Is that what he looks like he's doing?  He won't land a blow in that position.  Why doesn't he use his gun stock?  And why are the attacker and the supposed attackee facing the same way?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't have any problem with protesting, but I also don't have any problem with the police stopping violence and damage to property.  If the police are being unnecessarily violent, the photos don't show it  I don't see any political oppression here, just parts of a propaganda campaign.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-3209540816103025369?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I have very flexible standards, but what I won't tolerate are assets of the American Empire acting as disinformation agents in a way that is engineered to cause considerable human suffering (the whole Yale fandango did an excellent job at preparing his legend).  I'm leaving &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tilun Olam&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mondoweiss&lt;/span&gt; on, as they were always there solely to see the state of Zionist lite trickery.  It is amazing how close to the surface the fangs are:  both Weiss and Silverstein - particularly &lt;a href="http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2009/06/14/irans-presidential-farce-death-to-the-dictator/"&gt;awful&lt;/a&gt;! - revealed themselves instantly when given the chance to cause harm in Iran.  The big advantage of this campaign is that it identified the American Empire disinformation assets and outed the lites as covert hard-core Zionists.  Some positive postings:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;b at &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.moonofalabama.org/2009/06/more-on-the-iran-election.html"&gt;Moon&lt;/a&gt; of Alabama&lt;/span&gt; (good comments too, pointing out how lousy the opposition candidate really was).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Angry Arab, on the general western propaganda &lt;a href="http://angryarab.blogspot.com/2009/06/western-primer-on-elections-in.html"&gt;game&lt;/a&gt; about elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As b points out, this looks like a 'color revolution', one of these phony opposition movements paid for by the Americans who print posters and hand out flags to create spectacles for American television, giving the American public the notion that the party of the elite - in this case, the people who supported the Shah (I hasten to add in anticipation of criticism that some of the 'reformers', and most of  their supporters, are well-meaning and completely legitimate) - actually has massive popular support.  After the election, some &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;agents provocateurs&lt;/span&gt; are paid to cause a commotion, and the American intelligence agents give us their instant expert opinion that the election is illegitimate based on anonymous internet postings, rumors, and addled misuse of statistics.  You can tell bullshit by the following factors:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;certainty;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;delivered instantly;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;based on rumors and hot air;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;in opposition to common sense and what we know about the election, including the fact that the results were in accordance with polls, and were monitored by scrutineers; and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;in accordance with the goals of the American Empire destabilization campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can't forget the context.  The American and Israeli governments have been sponsoring violent terrorist attacks against the people of Iran for years, using the MEK and others, attacks which continued right up into the election campaign.  If the Iranian authorities are taking some steps to suppress violent insurrection by the American/Zionist agents, it is perfectly understandable.  When the smoke clears, we will find that the most outrageous stories of political oppression were pure American/Zionist propaganda lies.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-7188826585986462052?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This will be lost on Americans, but won't be lost on Iranians.  The idea is that the elected ruler the Americans don't like doesn't have popular support - as evidenced by the CIA-sponsored opposition violence - and thus it is legitimate when he is replaced with the aid of CIA violence.  All the stories you are hearing are part of this process, and I imagine the CIA checks are in the mail.  The point is almost certainly not 'regime change' per se, but destabilization and weakening, just as the attacks on Afghanistan and Pakistan are intended to weaken the power of Pakistan.  This is the game they play, and the people commenting on the election are helping the American Empire play that game.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/862010-1140594594222753759?l=xymphora.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Note again the telltale massive charges with no evidence, and don't forget that the election result was no surprise.  This is the kind of thing that precedes mass murder, the preparation serving to allow the attack.  All the actions taken by the Iranian government were actions taken as a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;response&lt;/span&gt; to the ongoing Israeli-American campaign, a huge effort that continues, completely invisible to the Jew-controlled American mainstream media.
