It is definitely escalating more than I had anticipated. The mullahs know they are on the world stage on how they handle this.
It’s a win win situation for the west’s foreign policy objectives. Either they discredit Ahmadinejad and the mullahs crack down on the populace, which would build support for war. Or, they put Mousavi in who has connections to the CIA back during Iran/Contra. So he is west friendly. Also, Seymour Hersh reported last year funding for “black ops” in Iran. Added up looks to be typical meddling of some sort.
I hope the Iranian people get what they want w/o bloodshed and I like to see people standing up for their rights. They have balls. Revolution is in the air, all over the globe.
After being victims of multiple false and propagandistic media campaigns one would think that we would be able to read between the lines when our mainstream media sources act in lockstep with one another in marketing the agenda du jour.
Have we already forgotten the “flowers and candy” which the gracious Iraqi people were going to greet us with? You know, as “Liberators.” The weapons of mass destruction? The fear campaign waged against us to surrender our national treasure to a few Wall Street firms? When the mainstream media moves together in uniform, repeating the same talking points, it’s time to get suspicious, not complacent.
The U.S. “superpower” has never forgiven the Iranian Islamic ayatollahs for the Iranian Revolution in the late 1970s, which overthrew the U.S. puppet government and held hostage U.S. embassy personnel, regarded as “a den of spies,” while Iranian students pieced together shredded embassy documents that proved America’s complicity in the destruction of Iranian democracy.
