   Please Charting Stocks, would you regain focus on examining the economic markets, and leave all this political fingerpointing and international conspiracy stuff to people who “specialize” in it.

   I come here because I expected you to Chart Stocks. All these Alex Jones-esque ramblings are making me quickly lose confidence in your market analysis, and I now worry you will give biased, as opposed to impartial, economic reports.

   How about a different VOTE:
   DO YOU WANT CHARTING STOCKS TO FOCUS ON CHARTING THE STOCK MARKET INSTEAD OF REPORTING ON THE NWO COVER=UP?

   I kinda figured Twitter would be used as a tool to fuck some things up (sorry for cussing). The constant media push for sheeple to use twitter was very suspicious to begin with. Now I see why. I must applaud your investigative journalism. Maybe charting stocks isnt your thing

   Interesting thought, and it probably is going on – manipulation from various sides and factions, but I don’t think you have convincing evidence.

   I thought it odd that Mousavi declared his victory minutes after Ahmadinejad’s was announced. Everything is upside down. Even our media can’t seem to get its lies straight; the headlines scream fraud, but when you read a few paragraphs into the story, they actually admit there is no proof to back up those allegations. At this point I’m just worried that the violence might escalate, and with the help of the CIA or Mossad give the US or Israel an excuse to move in for the kill or, you know, shower them with Iraq-style “democracy”.

   Something smells fishy and it isn’t the twitter accounts. Do you REALLY think you can make people believe that its Israel causing the turmoil. I think that honor belongs to Mr. Supreme Leader.
   You are belittling the Iranian people by even saying that. Iranians are courageously standing up for their rights.

   So you think 3 Israelis from Tel-Aviv managed, using Tweeter, to take to the streets millions of Iranians against the regime? I hope you have a better judgment of things when in comes to economics.

    Dear BEA, Mousavi’s campaign declared its victory 2 hours prior to Ahmadinejad and they did so live on Voice of America, however, given the fact that Ahmadinejad is nothing more than a puppet figure in the hands of it’s master, the Supreme Religous Leader, Khamenai, it was he who was all of a sudden caught by surprise and prior to votes having been fully counted and revalidated by the official channel, the Minsitry of Interior, required by his own laws put in to force (what laws), personally took to the media and prematurally congradulated Ahamdinejad in a super fast forward and fast track manner – in order to remove any chance of legitamizing Mousavi as the winning candidate, this is considered a coup d’etat by the fascist rights by any means. If you are interested to dwelve into the details of the counts and multiple ways that the opposing campaign attempted to rig the campaign in favour of Ahmadinejad, the proof is out there and Khamenai has already backed down and for the record and for public consumption requested a formal enquiry by the Guardian Council. In come election points, although the official electrocal form was the same, as soon as a wave of mousavi supporters would arrive, they would be told that they had run out of forms. Mousavi was the 4th person on the electoral campaign list. Ahmadinejad was assigned an internal code of 44. When people placed a 4 to vote for mousavi, an additional 4 was placed in front and the vote allocated to Ahmadinejad. Although at the end none of these structural frauds were required and the SUpreme Leader simply took it upon him self to submit fuddy duddy which were prepared in advance by a very few elite persons in Khamenai’s circle and delivered through the official channels after swapping with original vote counts, to the Ministry of Interior as the final count but after the official announcement of Khamenai. The Supreme Leader of Iran has finally after 31 years of the revolution that brought him and his iliterate kinds to power which they have grasped with their livelihood and attempted diligently to avoid making any mistakes which would cause the loss of this leadership, has finally made a grave mistake. Up to now, on any interefrence of international bodies, he contended that the government in power was by the people and for the people, thus a crystal clear impediment for international bodies to engage ins upport of the people. This over zelous and ambitious mistake has caused a series of critical dominos to begin falling and there will be very little that he nor anyone his elite circle will be able to stop, inlcuding the opposing factions. The nation has now spoken and they desire an immediate stop and change of the theocracy in place for last 31 years, the islamic republic. This is now the time for Int’l bodies to weigh in their support behind the soon to be free nation of Iran.

    Dear Guardian, trust you are not referring to me, I’m not isreali nor jewish although i have nothing against them nor do i think we should poison or bad mouth an entire nation, whether its, Iran, Israel, USA, etc., for the sake of a few roughten worms that fall through the cracks of every society and every nation. All nations have a majority of honorableis and good will promoting populations, a few roughten eggs shouldnt cause one to generalise entire nations to fall in the same very small group, albiet a small but very dangerous class of humans (or better described by their actions, animals) which as clearly evidenced can run entire nations into the ground and cause caos nationally and globally. Blaming other countries as a whole not only does not solve any problems it distracts from the targets causing the caos. Lets unite behind freedom loving humans where ever they are located and which ever nation they are a part of, whether it’s Russian, Iran, Israel, UK or USA.

    http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/06/irans_disputed_election.html. Look at the 3 last photos depicting the bodies of 3 of 7 people killed just in one “peaceful” rally yesterday.

    1. They each created their twitter accounts on Saturday June 13th.
    I’d create a new Twitter account as well if I was going to use it to provide info like they are – if the protests hadn’t begun they wouldn’t have needed to set up the networks.

    2. Each had extremely high number of Tweets since creating their profiles.
    Because they are using Twitter to inform people what’s going on you muppet.

    3. “IranElection” was each of their most popular keyword
    Because following one hashtag is easier than 100’s.

    4. With some very small exceptions, each were posting in ENGLISH.
    It’s the international language most people would understand on twitter.

    5. Half of them had the exact same profile photo
    So what? They are in the same cause.

    6. Each had thousands of followers, with only a few friends. Most of their friends were EACH OTHER.
    They haven’t got time to start following people.

    Think you’re completely wrong on this.

    I agree a few of those accounts are suspicious, but I think Change_for_Iran has a fairly high probability of being a genuine University of Tehran student. His/her updates about the situation there exactly matched what media reports hours later reported about militia attacks on universities, and the timeline matched up exactly. If they were faked, they were somehow faked by someone who had real-time knowledge of what was going on at the University of Tehran dorms.

    NO! says:

    June 16th, 2009 at 4:21 am

    Be consistent, from the fact you just analyze anyone could conduct an exact opposite analysis :

    1. They each created their twitter accounts on Saturday June 13th
    –> they use twitter as an alternative to “usual” medias that are always filtered, no suprise they juste created, more over is they had twitter accounts before they don’t want to mix the newsfeed with their private lives

    2. Each had extremely high number of Tweets since creating their profiles.
    –> they are feeding the news, keeping it ALIVE

    3. “IranElection” was each of their most popular keyword
    –> So What ? their twits are only about those

    4. With some very small exceptions, each were posting in ENGLISH.
    –> The main goal is to provide support and to “let the world know”, it’s no wonder they use the most used communication language for that, moreover some messages are in Farsi, they all understand farsi, and with 135,000 iranian originated ppl in isreal (source: wikipedia) i don’t think it’s an issue to find farsi locutors in Isreal

    5. Half of them had the exact same profile photo
    –> Do you mean the default picture, the “where is my vote”, or the burning iran ? seriously, go to facebook as seen iranian supporter, they mostly share the same pictures too.
    Maybe you beleive Mossavi’s pictures used for their profile pics show they all are Mousavi !

    6. Each had thousands of followers, with only a few friends. Most of their friends were EACH OTHER.
    –> see 1.

    I won’t even discuss that their names have been prentendly “first posted” on an israeli journal, EVERYONE IN THE WORLD knows israel is pretty much CONCERNED with IRAN

    Well, let’s just imagine for a moment that there were Iranian citizens trying to prevent their country from turning into a totalitarian dictatorship…

    1. Do you really think they’d use their personal twitter accounts to illegally exchange important information and to keep the world updated on that particular topic?
    2. Do you really think a couple of 140 character posts would be enough to manage that, with news and plans coming in every minute?
    3. Do you really think they’d be up for chats about any other topic than #IranElection?
    4. Do you really think they’d expect concerned people all over the world to know FARSI?
    5. Do you really think it’s suspicious that they showed their common cause by using the same profile photo, like many other people all over twitter, facebook, etc?
    6. Do you really think they’d have any time for making friends while being busy fighting for basic human rights?

    I wanted to write asnwers to ur 1 to 5 points but found that bob told befor. I am agree with Bob. In addition I have to say twitter is the best tool for announcing events. And is the best tool to announce even to huge amount of people around the world. It’s natural that people behind these accounts do not want to publish contents with their real names. It’s a security matter. so simple. I think u even do not follow news very well or u could see many freelance reporters from Iran reported events to major news networks around the world without real identity. I have to say this was one of the worst comments I’ve ever heard about international events on Internet.

    Stupid article that is based on attacking the hype and not the content. The conclusions drawn above, while have some truth, do not immediately equal the derived conclusions. If you had actually followed the news and twitter without your prejudices, maybe you might see that this has NOTHING to do with Israel, and everything to do with the prosperity of living in a democratic nation, not a dictatorship. Their people are rising up and you shout foul – fuck you.

    Well… as for your comments, I think I have an explanation:

    1. They each created their twitter accounts on Saturday June 13th.
    Yep. This is the day the violence broke out and the world had to be informed.

    2. Each had extremely high number of Tweets since creating their profiles.
    Duh. Of course. Because the subject is so important and intriguing.

    3. “IranElection” was each of their most popular keyword
    “IraqElection” surely would have been misleading. A quick question: Are you, like, dumb or something?

    4. With some very small exceptions, each were posting in ENGLISH.
    Do you speak/read Farsi?

    5. Half of them had the exact same profile photo
    Which one? I’ve seen plenty of tweets with different photos, such as mousavi1388, persiankiwi, StopAhmadi, IranRiggedElect… and don’t tell me it’s two times Moussavi you saw on those pics. The pics are distinct nevertheless.

    6. Each had thousands of followers, with only a few friends. Most of their friends were EACH OTHER.
    You probably don’t know this, but in times like these, friends stay together and help each other. And exchange information. And whom can you trust? These people have achieved more than YOU’ll ever do… try living in an oppressed society where everything but breathing is forbidden. I bet after two days you run home crying like Glenn Beck.

    This sudden popularity of Twitter in direct conjunction with an election in a sovereign country _is_ newsworthy. What are you, an intern who happens to have got a chance to write an article (and, btw, screwed up badly)?

    “After all, Que Bono?” Bloody hell, you speak Latin? Tell you what, Mr. Smartypants: why don’t you try to find the answer to “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes” on behalf of the Guardian Council of Iraq? Asine.

    Pathetic article, far-fetched conclusions… well, I know why I haven’t heard from your insignificant paper before. And it shall stay that way.

    I think you are looking way too hard for a conspiracy. Actually this is not the first attempted revolution to be twittered, the parliamentary elections in Moldova (Europe) were followed by protests which were twittered just the same, by people using English to communicate what was happening because conventional media access was restricted. Foreign papers also mentioned the most active and reliable twitterers, they are very easy to locate by anyone in the world without prior knowledge of them. I also don’t think it’s unusual at all that they only created their accounts days prior, I used to loathe Twitter b/c it seemed like a waste of time to log on just to say “ok i’m going to bed now… going to work… ok I’ve arrived at work” etc etc., but for things like Iran and Moldova twitter can be a very useful tool IMO. If something like that happened where I live I would probably create a Twitter account to talk about it.

    Is this post a joke?

    I haven’t been following @stopahmadi at all and @IranRiggedElect very much, but @Change_For_Iran hasn’t posted for about 24 hours after posting he/she was leaving for the rally yesterday and could very well be dead right now as the person had indicated they were a student at one of the dorms that was brutalized by the basij thugs.

    And just because the Jerusalem Post ran an article on Twitter commenting on something they could actually observe just like every other English speaker on planet earth with an understanding of how to use Twitter and interest in the Iran election aftermath doesn’t mean this is EVIDENCE of some Israeli conspiracy. Even if your crackpot theory was right, you still haven’t proven it as EVIDENCE given that logic dictates the more likely explanation for the article is simply a journalist observing something they are seeing on Twitter and reporting it.

    But I think my favorite of your leaps on that jump to conclusions mat is your suspicion that it is somehow conspiratorial that a group of people engaging in political activity together would pick the same Twitter icon. I’m sure it was Jerusalem’s idea to have them all wear green too.

    You’re a journalist? Jesus..

    Try this on..

    People created their accounts on June 13th, after SMS text messaging was shut down by the govt, and Twitter became the defacto medium of quick communication.

    Their images are the same! Because they’re stock images — just like the iconic Obama photo and icons that appeared all over Facebook during the US election. They also have green in them. Is that because they’re part of a secret conspiracy, or because they’re adopting the imagery of the political party they’re writing about? Hmmnn…

    They all post with “#IranElection” because that’s how Twitter works. You link your ‘tweet’ to a subject that way, so its searchable to the larger audience.

    You gain a lot of followers by linking your comment to a popular subject, like say, a heavily disputed election under a draconian govt. If you have good information, you fill he vacuum and quickly get followed by thousands of people.

    Why are some writing in English? For the same reason the Iranian govt has provided its black-clad club wielding police with uniforms that say “POLICE” in English — because they know the West is watching. Because the govt runs and controls the news, and has restricted communication technology since the election, the best way Iranians can tell the world about their plight, is by speaking the language they speak.

    But there ‘comrades’ speak Farsi. If Twitter is genuinely being used to help them organize, then why not use their native language??? They are. There are only a few Iranians posting in english, but most post in Farsi as well. The reason they made it into Western media, and gathered so many followers was… duh the rest of the world speaks more english than farsi, and thus saw and shared their posts/tweets first.

    You really seem like you just learned about Twitter today. I did. I opened my acct today, to follow the news. I’m in D.C. right now. If this were Sept 11 2001, in a media & communication blackout, and I was one of a handful of the first people on Twitter using it to transmit information, I’d probably have thousands of followers in a matter of hours too.

    Mr. ChartingStocks,

    This theory, though appealing to conspiracy-minded people, is absolutely and patently absurd, and you should consider apologizing for giving Iranian Security Forces another false excuse to hunt down people in Iran spreading the news on the ground.

    I have personally been participating in these actions of the Free Iran movement on Twitter and various other websites, and to reduce the core of the movement to an attempt by Israel to destabilize Iran is insulting to the real truth. The real truth is, the Iranian people are fighting back like nothing we have seen since the Islamic Revolution, and they are driven by the outrage committed against them. Independent of the outside world’s intervention, it is the heart of loyal Iranians that yearns for freedom and transparency.

    And is it really so surprising in this modern world to think that foreigners might want to help with a movement of this magnitude? As an American, and especially as a Texan, I have great love for the pureness of fighting back against unjust oppression, and when I hear the cries of young women beaten with clubs, news stations silenced, and basic modern freedoms crushed, I cannot help but feel loyal to a cause greater than myself. A cause greater than any of us. That is the cause of fighting for your freedom. I relate to their plight, and even if Iran may seem like a million miles away, we can all come together as human beings against something horrendous.

    It is high time that the Supreme Leader and the Iranian oligarchy of clerics learns the true heart of democracy. Up above that complex political system sits the People. It rings true now just as it did so long ago in my home country. The People should not fear their Government; the Government should fear their People.

    We, as human beings, must stand together against tyranny wherever it may still fester in this modern world.

    That is the only real truth behind this movement.

    And even if tomorrow it is all crushed by an iron fist, we shall have made our stand in the name of something greater than us all.

    “First they IGNORE YOU. Then they LAUGH AT YOU. Then they FIGHT YOU. Then YOU WIN.”

    Hi Charting Stock,

    Thanks for the data, you are getting to be a regular hero so far as I am concerned.

    Here is some more dirt for you;

    Last night BBC Newsnight aired an interview with one of the chums of Mousavie, a Mr. Makhbalbaf, which I believe to be an spelling mistake for he looked very much like the “film maker” Makhmalbaf, who is also a very good friend of Manucher Ghorbanifar a notorious CIA Informant (not a very good one at that) whom also happens to be a very good friend of Michael Ledeen the rabid Zionist and arch neocon.

    Although none of the above credentials of Mr. Makhbalbaf were alluded to by the program, however he was given the platform to go on record; “Mousavie had won the elections, and he was already told this news one half of one hour before the interior ministry personnel poured into his office and told him that he should not declare that he has won the elections, because it will be going against the wishes of the supreme leader, and the principles of the Islamic republic.” (note this is in line with his maintained position of winning the election before he had even taken part in any)

    The above was in continuation to the opening of the segment made by the news anchor about; ” He [Moussavie] has appealed to Iran’s Guardian Council to annul the result which he described as a “dangerous charade”".

    This is clearly an attempt in a coup similar to 1953, and this time the clumsy operatives are all too busy creating the Hollywood scenes more for the outside world consumption than the Iranian palette.

    Thanks again for completing the circle, with your post, indeed there seems to be an effort by the remnants of Bush Cheney regime to further destabilise the area, and stop any kind of progress towards peace in the Mid East.

    Finally keep up the good work chartingstocks1, this was a very good bit of investigation.

    Nonsense! You can tell by their command of English. Israelis speak perfect English, whereas many of these Persian twitter-ers are clearly struggling with the language.
    Israeli military intelligence wouldn’t touch Iranian internal matters with a 10-foot pole, because of the threat to Jews inside Iran. Iran never fails to seize the opportunity to persecute their minorities — Jews, Bahais and homosexuals have all been executed en masse under this regime. So if there was any way to blame Jews for what was happening in Iran right now there would be a pogrom already. You just have to get over your prejudices and recognize that Iran’s young people are as tech-smart as Westerners.

    OK, I’ve been following this on Twitter since pretty much before it started (when these people had under 100 followers) and I can tell you that you have no blithering idea what you’re talking about.

    “1. They each created their twitter accounts on Saturday June 13th.”

    Perhaps because that’s when all this protesting started, and many of them went to twitter because other forms of communication inside Iran were cut off?

    “2. Each had extremely high number of Tweets since creating their profiles.”

    Because they’re updating like crazy what has been going on. Many of them have been updating for 14, 16 hours at a time non-stop.

    “3. “IranElection” was each of their most popular keyword”

    This especially shows that you have no idea what you’re talking about. Twitter uses hashtags to mark certain posts as being in the same category. Pretty much the universal tag that people settled on to use was #IranElection. EVERYONE is using it when talking about the election, not just the above tweeters.

    “4. With some very small exceptions, each were posting in ENGLISH.”

    Because their goal is to bring news to the outside world and to have people RT to help get the world around. That wouldn’t work that well if no one on twitter could tell what they were even saying.

    “5. Half of them had the exact same profile photo”

    And the photo you show is the “Where is my vote” photo. Gee, I wonder why they might use that photo?

    “6. Each had thousands of followers, with only a few friends. Most of their friends were EACH OTHER.”

    I’m not sure how how many followers they have is evidence of anything. And most of those have been building up over several days as more people have paid attention. Most of their friends were each other because they’ve found each other via the #IranElection hash tag and friended each other so they all see what the others are saying so they can swap or corroborate information.

    All of this is on top of the fact that many of them have described events as they happened which have later been confirmed by traditional media sources or through other means such as pictures people took or video. That’s mighty impressive for people sitting in a room in Israel.

    @Observer.
    What utter nonsense! As a modern man of sensible mind and consideration, how can you in good conscience believe such absurd accusations? Certainly you have a heart beneath such inflamed rhetoric.

    For the sake of argument, I’ll even toss Moussavi out. He isn’t the point of this. And even if he was the start of it, he is not the end result. Even if your conspiracies are correct and Israel started it, it is not in the end result. You cannot make a flame without good tender, and the Iranian people just needed a spark. Whether it was Rafsanjani, Israel, or Big Foot, they have caught a spark that was there before anyone butted in.
    The cries for freedom are not deluded in some conspiracy. They are real men and women just like us that yearn for freedom. They look into the eyes of their children and are overwhelmed with a desire to bring a better future to them.

    They want a future for their children without this tyranny. They shout it as the blood runs down from their lips. No matter who started it, the Iranian People are the ones who will finish it. They are the ones out there on the streets giving their lives for this!

    It isn’t wrong to believe in something more. For the love of God, they are showing on the streets and online that they need something more! No one can make you feel that, and no one can give it to you. You have to fight for it.

    Sometimes you have to throw everything aside and just stand up for what’s right.
    THAT is what the People of Iran are doing!

    I never read such a stupid post in my entire blogger’s life (7 years now). I’m a Frenchman and of course I also tweet in English when I want to be heard by the Tweeple — I mean World citizens like me who don’t care about culture gaps and borders because they feel we are just one people on one land, one planet!

    And wich proofs are you talking about? Your point is just filled up with antisemit insinuations about what are in fact fairly plausible stories. Journalist write articles about Twitter and tweeple everyday. With what’s happening this week I’m not surprised that @StopAhmadi @IranRiggedElect @Change_For_Iran gets in their focus. If those guy (or women?) are really are who they say they are their story is amazing!

    The fact that they opend anonymous Twitter accounts recently is also obvious. Hey, man, would you dare using your very personal Twitter account to shout and testify worldwide against such a regime if you (or members of your family) were in its hands?

    I don’t know who these people are and I am not 100% sure what they say is true. That’s a press hard job to double-check this, but from what I know has been confirmed now you can draw that they are not foolish lying at all.

    And what spammers are you talking about, you that I can only suspect to be purely racist and antisemit? Do you know what SPAM is? Unsollicited email, yes. Did you ever receive an unsollicited Twitter update from someone you did not follow first? Yes, you tell me, one every 50 friends’ tweets, perharps? So is that anything to be compared to spam? Am I spamming you by posting a comment here? Am I a spammer if I say hello or if I shout “Help!” in the street?

    And the “WHERE IS MY VOTE” photo being the same… Hey, did not you watch the news report on TV. This is the generalized slogan there these days and many people have choosen this icon (1) for triggering a mass media effect (2) to protect themselves from the police.

    2. They post in English because they are asking the international community for help… not their brutal military dictatorship which turned its guns against them.

    3. Did the Mossad also fake those countless videos of Iranians being shot? Mass demonstrations… oh the Mossad also faked the election! of course… praise the allmighty Mossad!

    4. They have thousands of followers because millions are captivated by the news they bring at the time mainstream media is practically shut down by the Iranian gov. I myself follow several of the names you mentioned and created my twitter account on Saturday, I must be a Mossad agent according to your “Investigative Work”…

    While this is definitely fishy, I can’t see what advantage would Israel get if Ahmadinejad would lose the election. Moussavi is just as bad for Israel.

    Last, but not least, I fail to see why Israel can’t do something like this, while for other Middle Easterns its okay to use social networks against Israel and even hack into governmental websites to express their distress.

    And they are working with Persians inside Iran who send the news, pictures and video to Israel to get out to the rest of the world. The Persians and the Israelis were buddies, secret true, but buddies before the Revolution. Remember the Shah? He continually sold oil to Israel when no one else would. True he too had his own axe to grind but he sold the oil when they badly needed it. At the time, Israel had zero troubles with Iran, none.

Do you really believe anybody in Iran right now would happily take the risk of being associated with the kind of reporting that is done by these people?
    It is obvious that they should create new accounts, and keep them as anonymous as possible. Also, as to them talking English, of COURSE they write their Twits in English. These Posts are aimed at showing people who are not from Iran, what is happening there right now, seeing as the government there represses all free reports. (For example the Camera Technician of ARD, Germany’s biggest national TV-station was arrested on Sunday)
    Please remove this artical and at the very least apologize.
    Trying to associate the protest in Iran with Israeli tactics to disrupt an enemy are not only pure speculation, they are downright WRONG from any moral point of view.

    I admire your intentions. I don’t know anything about twitter myself…technology basically annoys me.

    But what I can see is a deliberate attempt to refocus American citizens on Iran’s problems and not look at our own. The media is a bunch of Zionist – even the torah jews will admit that. It seems to me there is an awful lot of attention being paid to a man and a position with no real power in Iran. A lot of attention being paid to israel – doing what they have always down but no attention being paid to the massive Ponzi scheme that threatens to collapse the US dollar in DC.

    The USA is on the verge of an economic collapse of biblical size. And yet – we are more concerned about a super hyped up community organizer than our own country?

    You brought up some interesting points, and I’m sure there is some effort by the CIA to destabilize Iran – they have been wanting to for years. But what is the real goal of the over reporting on the situation in Iran? In the middle east? What is the media NOT telling us that they should be reporting?

    IMO the media is really good at distractions. They can send people on a wild goose chase and not report what we need to know. The Fed is fighting to keep their books from being audited. Why? What are they hiding? Why focus so much attention on Iran?

    65 years ago if Iran had a massive protest it would have been buried on the back page of the local newspaper. The audit the fed bill would be plastered all over the front page for weeks on end. The media is distracting us from real issues at home.

    by “Ya_Baqiyatullah”

    As the situation regarding the Presidential elections escalate in Iran, there is a little glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel in the form of Wilayatul Faqee, Ayatollah Ali Khamenai. The last few days has seen mass protests, riots on the streets of Tehran and other major cities, victory rally by the supporters of Ahmedinijad and rumours along with accusations in the Media sources across the World. The situation on the ground has never been correctly presented to the world and bias has ruled in reporting and manipulating to ensure a certain message is delievered regarding Iran.

    Anyone who has followed these elections closely would accept the result without questioning or believing in the conspiracies of fraud and stolen elections, simply because of the conduct of Ahmedinijad in his campaign compared to that of Mousavi. World Media laid the claims of mishandling the economy at Ahmedinijad and in the process blinded themselves to the other policies of the President to the people of the nation. Ahmedinijad has improved the standard of living for the lower and working class people by the redistribution through the wealth programme. An example of such would be the case of the Association of Women Weavers who boast a figure of 2.7 million women working for them. As they were unable to afford insurance for such a sizeable association Ahmedinijad stepped in to provide the insurance from the Government in order to ensure that the Association continues to exist. In return, he has secured majority of votes from those 2.7 million women.

    Iran has a rural population which amounts to 65% or so of the total population, most of these people love Ahmedinijad simply because of what he has bought for the rural areas in his first term in the office. During his campaign he focused on the rural people making them the heart of his campaign, not only that during his campaign he visited all provinces where as Mousavi limited himself to the big cities and banked on being the President by winning these cities. The flaw is evident; one campaigning on two fronts effectively the rural population as well as the big cities while Mousavi only focusing on the big cities. This was the deciding factor in the elections and something that is reflected in the provincial results released by the Interior ministry last night.

    On another note, the differences between the candidates themselves is something which would have caught the eye of the public. Ahmedinijad is a person who lives simply, conducts himself without extravagance and is honest in his profession in every manner. Where as Mousavi is someone who is from the upper circles of the society and is seen as a part of the corrupt political elite. This may well have played a deciding role in the elections given that the public has seen Ahmedinijad take on the corruption issue in his first term in the office and the results have been showing after arrests of several officials in the Government. Once the election results became evident, this point became the central focus on the corrupt elite. Ahmedinijad has vowed to ensure that justice prevails in this corruption scandal and this has upset alot of people in high positions especially the likes of Rafsanjani and Karroubi.

    If one recalls back to the televised debates and especially the one between Mousavi and Ahmedinijad, they would notice the aftermath raised the eyebrows of certain key influencial figures after the outburst of Ahmedinijad regarding Rafsanjani and others. The aftermath involved Rafsanjani writing to the Wilayatul Faqee, Ayatollah Ali Khamenai and asking him to deal with Ahmedinijad’s outburst in the televised debates or expect street riots . Further to that, after the casting of the vote by Rafsanjani’s wife on the day of elections made a claim that if there is no cheating then Mousavi will become the President and if there is cheating then expect mass protests. This is a result of a long battle between Ahmedinijad and Rafsanjani, while the former has indirectly attacked Rafsanjani for corruption it was first time that he has openly said this as noted in the televised debate. The corruption surrounding Rafsanjani is well known amongst the Iranian public; as recent as last year a member of the ministry of Intelligence went public exposing Rafsanjani and stating all the cases of corruption against him. The response from Rafsanjani was imprisonment for this personnel on the charge of failing to pay a bill. Not only that, Dr. Hassan Abbasi who is a well known conservative strategic analyst and an advisor to the Wilayatul Faqee gave a very powerful speech a few years ago exposing Rafsanjani and his corruption empire by mentioning names. The influence of Rafsanjani saw him fired from his position and arrested.

    Rafsanjani was the man who funded the campaign of Mousavi and many of the policies that Mousavi had wished to implement show a direct involvement of Rafsanjani in it. For instance, Mousavi wanted to remove the power of the Baseej and Revolutionary Guards from the Wilayatul Faqee and giving it to the Governors. This implies a clear strategy to alienate the Wilayatul Faqee from any power and provide a platform for Rafsanjani to use his influence in the Baseej and make them loyal to him. Rafsanjani has also called for a reform of the system of Governance going from the concept of one Supreme Leader to where a Council is created to govern. Knowing very well that people would not vote for him to be the next Wilayatul Faqee, he is taking this oppurtunity to ensure his position is solidified.

    The responsibility of the riots and the aftermath of the elections lies on the shoulder of Rafsanjani. He has instigated this simply to achieve one of the two outcomes from the Wilayatul Faqee, Ayatollah Ali Khamenai and that is either a recount is ordered and Mousavi is declared the winner or that Ahmedinijad is ordered to stop the corruption investigation. The choas also gives upper hand to Rafsanjani to ensure some of the key aides of Ahmedinijad can be arrested on bogus charge or removed through a smear campaign. The hang noose is tightening on the necks of Rafsanjani and co and the only way out is through destablizing the country to ensure that the Wilayatul Faqee steps in and gives in to their demands.

    Karroubi, Mousavi, Khatami and Rafsanjani all have enjoyed their freedom for so long and now the tide has turned against them. Karroubi declaring that he does not recognise Ahmedinijad as the winner of the elections was always going to be the case especially after he was exposed on the televised debate to the public. Mousavi was seen as a proxy of Rafsanjani and it has been confirmed such is the case given the aftermath of the elections. Khatami has adopted a position of silence so far but his thoughts were well known especially after every poster, every image of Mousavi campaign had his face on it too. Rafsanjani controls all the strings and will use every trick in the book to save his neck. His daughter has already left the country before the charges of money laundering, extortian and large amounts of illegal campaign contributions could be levelled against her.

    Yes, the Islamic Republic stands on a fringe given that it has now become a duel between the Supreme authority of the country who is Wilayatul Faqee, Ayatollah Ali Khamenai and Rafsanjani, who is a disciple of the great Ayatollah Khomeini and the former President with a lot of influence in the country. While people may question as to how Rafsanjani has become so powerful and why Ayatollah Khamenai did not act earlier? The answer is simple the time was not right before to remove him for the power he carries could completely destabilise the country. Today, there is destabilisation but on a small scale. Had the action to counter Rafsanjani and co had been done before it would have probably been a completely failure as all the important positions of the Government were occupied or under the influence of the corrupt elite. The riots are being carried out by those who wish to further the agenda of the corrupt elite while the majority of the people see otherwise and have therefore voted for a president whom they know will uproot the corrupt elite.

    The Western Media beat the drums of election rigging and stolen but the reality on the ground is much different. Looking beyond the apparent confusion unveils a reality which the Western powers do not wish to accept as this would surely signal the end of any hope that they had of a reformist liberal Iran. The only tactic they could employ is to take cause confusion by attacking the conservative camp as it has been seen on many occasions since the day of elections and before. First, a report defaming Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi for supposedly issuing a fatwa of authorising rigging followed up by a false report that the Interior Ministry congratulated Mousavi on winning the elections before changing their minds and opting for Ahmedinijad. BBC went a step further today saying that the mass rally in Tehran by the Reformists were called off because Baseej were authorised to use live rounds on the protestors before making a U-turn and saying that the rally went ahead with shots fired. Both of these reports represent bias; the rally had to be authorised by the Interior Ministry and that authorisation was not given however Mousavi continued ahead with the planned rally. Baseej has not been deployed yet on the streets, they have been given orders to mobilise in case the situation gets out of hand. On another note, the Western Media sources have mentioned the Wilayatul Faqee, Ayatollah Ali Khamenai stating that the Guardian Council should probe into the claims of fraud in relation to the elections. This is not quite right, while Ayatollah Ali Khamenai has endorsed the results he has asked the Guardian Council to consider the complaints of Mousavi and Rezaei. Infact, Rezaei himself has accepted the results of the election but he has raised certain issues which have been passed to the Guardian Council. One has to ask, whether this manipulative reporting would still be the way of the Western Media had a reformist been in the position of power?

    Three days from today, the Wilayatul Faqee Ayatollah Ali Khamenai will address the Iranian nation at the Friday Prayers in Tehran University. Many hope that his address will bring stability and peace to the country after the riots and also mark the end of the corrupt elite. The glimmer of hope is the Wilayatul Faqee and many in Iran over this week will be anxiously awaiting to see what he decrees for they know that his word will be final.

    HAHAHAHAHAhah….. oh your serious.
    you think that the accounts being new and about the current situation is evidence that there fake? With a Government that’s blocking foreign media, shooting its own citizens, raiding dorms, and beating students; you think that creating an untraceable news source is something that Iranians are not going to do. Wow, with that insight applied to your real job, I’m surprised you can afford hosting still

    @Observer,
    Whether you like it or not, this is something to a great many people. Apparently millions are convinced that it’s something, but I’m glad that you get some kicks out of trying to make a fool of others’ hopes and views. I hope it isn’t too lonely up there on your ivory tower.

    And I’m no liberal loon. Though, ha, I’ve known a great many, for sure. I believe in conservative values, the strength of time-tested tradition, one true, almighty God, and a limited form of government based on simply sticking to the US Constitution.

    But beyond that, I also believe in the spark of God’s brilliance in all people. The divine spark that can lead men and women to do what may at first seem impossible. A human core made to be able to stand up to any obstacle, whether it be everyday struggles or the times of tribulation when we are called to rise against an iron wall of oppression. It is not a fool’s dream to believe that amazing things can happen.
    And whether they succeed now or are crushed by insurmountable odds, there will still have been something worth fighting for. Freedom is always worth dying for.
    For if you don’t speak up, then who will?

    That’s the truth I know, and that’s the truth known by those throngs of protesters standing up to harassment and gunfire. That is something no one can take away. Not you, not me.
    Fancy words don’t change what’s in a man’s soul.
    The desire to push back for the sake of freedom is in us all.

    You are “half” Jewish? Which half? The part which comprises your ass?

    Listen fuckwit. Did it occur to you that maybe they are using the same photo because these people are actually IN Iran and don’t feel like getting shot? Maybe they are all friends who decided to do this at the same time and thus they agreed to use the same fake photo? In English, because again, they don’t feel like suggesting to the authorities that a manhunt would work?

    Did it not occur to you, you stupid fucking asshole, that if the Jews wanted to do this, then they would simply ask THEIR IRANIAN JEWISH brothers to make all that crap up?

    My GOD, do you even have a brain?

    Now, I’m okay with differing opinions, and even conspiratorial nonsense is okay sometimes. But some people are using this article as some proof on Twitter to demean these people on the ground.
    When it starts to affect lives, spreading hate and misinformation, putting doubt upon real people getting the news out, well, that’s just wrong, and you should be ashamed. I can’t believe that anyone would hear this tripe and believe it.
    This isn’t just some little news story to bat conspiracies around.

    While we’re talking about a ruthless, repressive regime in Iran and the killing of peaceful protesters in recent days, martyrs as some are saying – what about the peaceful protesters killed while demonstrating against the illegal apartheid wall in Palestine? What about UN installations being repeatedly bombed by Israel? What about Tristan Anderson being shot in the head at close range by a tear gas canister? Rachel Corrie bulldozed? What about IDF wearing shirts depicting a pregnant woman in the crosshairs of a sniper with the text “one shot 2 kills”? What about Israeli politicians calling for a shoah for Arabs? Israel is systematically ethnically cleansing Palestine every day through blockade, terrorism – low intensity conflict is the term and it achieves the same objective over time as the outright execution of a people – this is what “the only democracy in the middle east” has to offer. To those Israel loving bastards out there i say this to you – please attack Iran, PLEASE do it! I would love to see this so much it would be worth dying in the world war that would follow if only to see Israel annihilated. There comes a time when the game gets old, and by now there is a critial mass bulding, and when that first shot rings out, you know who we’re coming for.

    this is what ahmadinejad was talking about….rasfanjani who is also mousavis supporter

    CRI- On Tuesday, the state-run Fars news agency published a “Detailed report of the activities of the wealth and power mafia.” The report exposed parts of astronomical plunders of Hashemi Rafsanjani, former president of mullahs’ regime, and his family that were named as “the wealth and power mafia.”

    The latest revelations, by the news agency that is affiliated to the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and is close to mullahs Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s faction, take place in the course of heightening internal feuding within the clerical regime in the run up to the regime’s presidential election.

    The following is excerpts of the report published by Fars News Agency, June 9, 2009:

    Fars News Agency, July 9, 2009:
    Detailed report of the activities of the wealth and power Mafia reads as follows:
    We are addressing our noble and beloved people that the 10th presidential election is a turning point and a determining moment in our beloved country, Iran.

    On one hand, success of the so called the mafia (The Kargozaran-e Sazandegi Party officials and the dynasty of Mr Hashemi) can take the country backward and threaten our national interest. On the opposite, their failure can give promises of hope for a better future, particularly for the youth.

    Accordingly, with a sense of duty and with an aim of protecting our national interest, we attempted to bring to your attention a revealing report, particularly on the so called power thirsty eminences and the wealth and power mafia (dynasty of Mr Hashemi Rafsanjani). We hope that we could play a small part in preventing from the creation of monopoly by notifying the people about the threat of this disgraceful and deadly tumor.

    Mafia is the term used to describe highly influential groups which work hidden and acts like an octapos which controls the country’s networks of finance, trade and industry.

    Mafia groups incessantly intend to gain wealth. In order to gain and to hold on to the wealth, they necessarily need to have power as well. Mafia with its infinite wealth, through supporting some politicians, first, it attempts to impose its will on them. As such, the wealth network will enjoy the backing of the politicians.

    If these horrific and horrendous groups do not face any obstacles on their way, they will attempt to climb the ladder of power in order to accelerate the process of gaining and preserving their wealth on one hand, and to create a multi layer impenetrable immunity for them on the other.

    Mafia groups that are also described as “Shadow cabinet” will do everything to reach their targets and to obtain their objectives. Threatening and blackmail, insult and attacking people’s dignity, as well as physical elimination are some methods used by Mafia in confronting with their rivals and for removing any obstacle on their way.

    Iran is no exception. Over the past few years and particularly in the years following the war between Iran and Iraq, an extremely large mafia has come to existence in our country which seeks to gain wealth and expand its power through enjoying numerous governmental privileges. The so called Kargozaran-e Sazandegi Party circle and dynasty of Mr Hashemi Rafsanjani is a clear example of this mafia network. In these series of articles, we will try to introduce them and mention their activities under two separate titles of “power thirsty eminances” and “wealth and power mafia”.

    The “power thirsty eminances”, the first article of which has been published, deals with introducing the elements of the Kargozaran-e Sazandegi Party officials as well as their mafia activities. The “Wealth and power mafia” will expose the Hashemi Rafsanjani dynasty. We hope that our loved people and particularly our young generation will like it.

    Enforcing power to turn the environmental lands to Villas
    In 2001, through enforcing his influence and power, Mr Mohammad Hashemi, Mr Hashemi Rafsanjani’s brother, took possession of several hectares of land which belonged to the National Resources Lands, number 24, named as Lalan, located in the town of Shemiranat (In Fasham)[Northern Tehran].

    1. Director of the National Resources Lands in Tehran Province, Gholam-Abas Abdi-Nejad wrote in the letter 67/11697 to the Notary Office 539 in Tehran, dated 16 July 2004, requesting them to register and confirm the transfer of 12450 square meters of the lands belonging to the National Resources Land, number 24, named as Lalan, to Mr Mohammad Hashemi, in accordance with the license 2321/5, dated 28 May 2001, issued by the Head of National Organisation of Forests and Pastures. Before the above document’s transfer to Mr Mohammad Hashemi was completed, he took action to sell or to make fake contracts for transferring some parts of the land to his close relatives.

    2. Prior to the above measures in item 1, Mohammad Hashemi established ‘Kosar-e-Pars’ Company, registered with number 202662, at the name of Hamidreza Nazari, his brother-in-law, born in 1966, birth certificate number 1342. He registered 492295 squared meters of the above lands, numbered as minor 1066 and major 24, at the name of this company.

    3. The Cultural Complex of ‘Revealers’ which belongs to Mohammad Hashemi, sold a tract of land from the land number major 24, Lalan (In Fasham), of 562 squared meters to a lady named as Tahereh Golkar.

    It is noteworthy that Mr Mohammad Hashemi has built two cottage complexes named as Fadak and Reyhaneh in a part of the lands which he took possession of. So far, around 18 units of the cottages have become ready and been sold each for 2,800,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 Rials (285,947 to 306,372 US Dollars). The agency which is responsible for Units’ sale has made the following note: “At present, there are 18 separate units of Villa houses measured as 150 to 350 square meters in foundation and 400 to 2250 square meters in surface. Each unit has a separate heating centre, custodianship, two water supply pipelines, one power line and a telephone extension. The complex also has private security and a private road.

    Organisation for the Improvement of the fuel Consumption and the dynasty of Mr Hashemi

    Organization for the Improvement of the Fuel Consumption is totally dominated by the wealth and power mafia. In addition to earning huge incomes through this organization, the mafia exploits it as a cover up for organizing and giving financial backing to its activities and deeds.

    Presently, the concession of construction, repairing, maintenance and renting of the congested natural gas (CNG) distribution centers has been granted to the members of this family through the Organization for the Improvement of the fuel consumption.
    The family of Mr Hashemi uses this privilege to finance 100 local and provincial newspapers for 4,000,000 to 7,000,000 Rials and several national newspapers for 1,000,000,000 Rials in order to build up the public opinion to comply with the policies of the wealth and power Mafia.

    Foundation of Special Diseases donates for the election campaign

    Documents present at the Foundation of Special Diseases indicate that in 1995, a fund of 2,000,000,000 Rials from this foundation which is run by Mrs Faezeh Rafsanjani (Mr Hashemi Rafsanjani’s daughter), has been donated to the election campaign of Kargozaran (Affiliated with Rafsanjani). Considering the present conditions, it is quite probable that funds of the Foundation of Special Diseases will be similarly misused in the coming election.

    Conspiracy by the Hashemi family in the foreign oil contracts

    A revealing letter by the resigned director of Stat-oil Company illustrates one example of bribery by the Hashemi family in oil contracts. Mr Hubart (The resigned director of Statoil) has described in a letter to the executive committee of the company that he had annually paid a commission of 1,500,000 US Dollars for ten years to Mr Mehdi Hashemi (Mr Hashemi Rafsanjani’s son).

    The wealth and power mafia uses its influence in municipal office

    Following an application to the municipal office for sale license by Ms Farzin, owner of a tract of garden of 2270 square meters which is located adjacent to Jamshidieh Park, the license was not issued due to a joint conspiracy of Mr Ali Hashemi (Nephew of Mr Hashemi Rafsanjani) and Karbaschi (Mayor of Tehran at the time).

    The excuse for not issuing the license was an expansion plan for Jamshidieh Park. The owner was pressurized, threatened and intimidated by the municipality and Ali Hashemi as the representative of the municipality purchased the garden at the name of his wife, Maryam Hashemi Nejad Kashkooyi, for a very reduced price of 90,000,000 Tomans.

    Few months later, having removed the sale obstacles as well as the elements which reduced the price, he sold the garden for 1,900,000,000 Rials. Ali Hashemi paid 350,000,000 Rials bribe to Karbaschi (Mayor of Tehran at the time) to annul the magnificent plan for the expansion of Jamshidieh Park which could encompass the above garden and hence did not allow its sale, and also to cease the plan for widening of Jamshidieh Road which could encompass 500 meter of the above garden for water way.

    Such wrong economical policies of the so called Construction government (Under Hashemi Rafsanjani as the president) has brought harmful consequences to the country including the class difference and the gap between the rich and the poor. Regretfully, during these years, this gap has reached 70 to 1. As such, while a rich person earned 700,000 Rial, a poor person earned 10,000 Rials.

    Creation trend of wealth and power mafia

    As mentioned above, a very complicated mafia has been created in Iran and the dynasty of Mr Hashemi Rafsanjani play a very important and worthy role in its leadership. In this article, we will review the trend of the creation of this Mafia network.

    Emergency conditions during the war with Iraq had created a situation in which the government monopolized the economy. Thus, when the war ended and the emergency conditions ceased, privatization of the economy was brought to the attentions. The new conditions in the field of economy provided some government managers as well as families of a number of officials with economical privileges. Amongst all, dynasty of Mr Hashemi Rafsanjani was the one which, for various reasons, enjoyed the privileges most. However, this was not the end. Rather it was just the beginning. Those who enjoyed privileges in the fields of power and politics combined together and as a result, mafia network known as Kargozaran emerged.

    Having spent few golden years, this party aimed at legalizing as well as maintenance of these privileges. Thus they decided, on one hand, to safeguard their active and prominent presence in the law making centers and on the other hand, to maintain Mr Hashemi as the president and they thought this would bring them more shinning days in future.

    Announcement of the Kargozaran-e Sazandegi Party at the 5th run of the parliamentary elections aimed at materializing the described objectives. Failure to obtain its desires in both mentioned fields, made the wealth and power mafia bring about new conditions which did not fit their political circumstances. At present, having lost their foot hold on some privilege making centres, this mafia trend finds its existence as well as its gaining wealth and expansion of power threatened. Hence, by bringing Mr Hashemi to the scene, it aims at victimizing him in return for protecting its interests.

    The free region of Kish has been exclusively given to the dynasty of Hashemi

    According to the present documents, at least around 200,000 square meters of the most expensive lands in the free trade region of Kish, have been exclusively given to the relatives of and aides to Mr Hashemi Rafsanjani, and they have made enormous investments in this region. This gang recognize itself as the owner and master of Kish and has grasped its economy in a manner that all the foreigners who come to Kish for trade, have to pay a considerable amounts of commission to the children of Mr Hashemi under different pretexts like donations to charities etc.

    In addition to all other activities, this mafia trend has established a landing ground for private planes in Kish through which they are able to directly import their commodities to Iran.

    Giving away the public fund

    According to the documents, Mr Mohammad Hashemi (Mr Hashemi Rafsanjani’s brother) had annually received a part of the presidential budget in order to donate them to those he wishes. In this relation, he has delivered to the administrative financial office of the presidential institution, a list of 30 pages which consists of names of those who have supposedly received gold coins of ‘Spring of Freedom’ and money as gift from him in 2004. It is said that most of the names in that list are false.

    Mohamamd Hashemi (Brother of Hashemi Rafsanjani) along with his family, Mehdi Hashemi and family, and also Marashi family traveled to Mecca in a private Jet on the Iranian new year’s day of 1384 (March 21, 2005).

    This is while the commoners have to wait for months for their turn to be able to go to Mecca for the religious rituals.

    Faezeh Rafsanjani’s business activities in Canada

    A close contact to Faezeh Rafsanjani (daughter of Hashemi Rafsanjani) explains a few facts concerning her business activities in Canada:

    “Faezeh owns the largest and well-equipped building construction companies in Canada, which is building housing units and holiday Villas in the more secluded natural resources of Canada”.

    She then adds; “Parallel to this, Faezeh transfers original outlines of the construction designs to Iran. In this way she receives a 2 fold profit from the designs”.

    “Faezeh also has an active business company involved in export and import of goods and has invested largely on working closely with the mafia groups working on export of Make-up productions to the world”.

    Millions in profit through Mafia groups

    Mr. Mohammad Hashemi (Brother of Hashemi Rafsanjani) managed to illegally change the laws concerning his piece of land , which was categorized by the 7th article Commission supervised by Karbaschi (the Mayor at the time) in 1356 to be filed as “cultivation land bearing fruit” with the area of 2283 square meters, to be categorized as ” ordinary land”.

    It is notable that the aforementioned piece of land is conventionally registered under the name of Hashemi’s wife’s name “Khadije Nazari” and their children with the reference 838/3.The address is Esfandiari, Moahmoudi Street, Martyr Bahonar Avenue.

    After this change was routed, the next step was to verify and officially render the ownership of the land (to pave the way for a single ownership). This was carried out illegally by Mr. Karbaschi . The agreement with the Mayors office was to charge 400,000,000 Rials for this process. The sum was reduced to 120,000,000 as a reduction and favor to Hashemi and was never paid later.

    According to experts, the value of this land has leaped to 5,000,000,000 Rials, usurped by Mr. Mohammad Hashemi.

    Influence over the Mafia groups in Iranian Aeronautical industry

    One other area of interest of the Hashemi clan is the Aeronautical Industry of the country.

    This clan has extensive influence over most flight companies and some time has bought major stocks in various companies and has privatized them.

    Apart form this, Hashemi children are controlling sales of Aeronautical Industry parts in various countries and pocket distinguished amounts of interest though brokering the sales.

    Hashemi Rafsanjani’s influence in Mashahd University

    According to available documents, Mr. Hashemi’s daughter (Brother of Hashemi Rafsanajani) transferred her files from Kerman University by paying a bribe of 40,000,000 Rials immediately after receiving her diploma expertise in that University. The so called “construction government” (referring to Khatami’s governing slogan during his presidency) managed to heighten state debts to a mere 40,000,000,000 dollars by borrowing International loans. This extreme debt only inflicted more pressure on the poor sectors and the middle class.

    The Mafia supremacy of wealth

    Establishing absolute control over the main routs of profit of the State was one main objective of the ruling mafia clan.

    This supremacy would of course force the government to play within the interests of the Mafia group and on the other hand give them the ability to paralyze and choke any defiance to their control.

    According to this objective, the mafia of wealth has operated to establish major control over major infrastructure of the State.

    Unfortunately, after eight years, this expansion lead Mr. Khatami’s government into a position which left him no means to react to heaps of expectations mainly by the new generation.

    This essay is an attempt to review the scope of infiltration by the Mafia of wealth and power in Iran.

    Tehran City Hall; the monopoly of Power and Wealth Mafia

    After coming to power of the “constructive government” and reaching to executive and financial posts of the power and wealth Mafia, with the selection of Gholamhossein Karbaschi as Tehran’s Mayor, the influence of this band reached to the Greater Tehran and this band continued to misappropriate public funds more than before. In previous sections we referred to a small portion of this misappropriation of funds.

    That includes:

    1- Using city budget to advance partisan and personal benefits
    2- Changing Greater Tehran’s plans for personal gains

    In continuation of this process, the following points are worth noting.

    A) Changing the route of Niavaran highway to gain partisan benefits
    In 1992, study for the continuation of Niavaran highway was placed on city’s agenda and on November 30, 1992 the consulting engineers of the technical unit of Tehran’s city hall approved the continuation of Niavaran highway from Shahid Seyyed Kazem Mousavi Street towards Pasdaran Street.

    At the same time it becomes known that a property of 10,000 sq. meters in Pasdaran area (2nd Narenjestan) belonging to Mr. Karbaschi (under his wife’s name, Kheir-o-nessa Asgarian), Abdullah Nouri (under his son’s name Mohsen Nouri) and children of Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani (Mehdi, Mohsen and Fatemeh) is located in the above mentioned plan.

    They became aware that with the existence of this plan, they can not do anything with this property. Therefore under the order of Karbaschi on August 26, 1993, the said plan was re-routed through a non-professional and tortuous road. Following that order, an order to severe the said property (without any cost) and to change the zoning to residential, was issued and the partner owners benefited immensely from that.

    Among the partners only Mohsen Hashemi built a house there. Change of plan for Niavaran highway has equally made that area one of the most accident full area of Tehran.

    B) With the expropriation of part of Chitgar park to build an equestrian club for Yasser Hashemi (Hashemi Rafsanjani’s son) during Karbaschi’s tenure as Tehran’s Mayor, he used his influence in the city hall to name 45000 sq. m of the park was used as the Equestrian federation.

    Subsequently another 30,000 sq. m of the park was expropriated. This is while that no document was signed between the city and Yasser Hashemi.

    Mr. Yasser Hashemi has used the property to train horses and create an equestrian club with pool, sauna and Jacuzzi for the horses.
    Smuggling goods and antiques
    Yasser Hashemi is very active in smuggling underground antiques and cultural assets. One of his activities in this regard is smuggling cultural assets of the city of Ghouchan. Yasser Hashemi’s trips to Ghouchan and his relationship with the US antiques’ smuggler(Hassan Sabet Baktash) is no secret to anyone.

    Besides Yasser Hashemi’s influence in customs and ports, and his huge bribes in exporting and importing goods, he works in the area of smuggling goods too.

    Yasser Hashemi, with the aid of his own proxies has bought and rented few cargo boats in Imam Khomeini port and uses them to transport goods.

    Monopoly of influence in the country’s ports and customs by the wealth and power Mafia

    One of the centers under the control of the wealth and power Mafia, is the customs and ports of Boushehr, Imam Khomeini, Chabahar and Astara. For example, besides the fact that Mr. Hashemi family’s affairs in the customs are done expeditiously, evaluating personnel consider special discount for their goods and customs clearance is very fast for them.
    This is while the customs is known to give hard time to ordinary people and sometimes they have to wait for months for smallest issues and have to pay huge fines.
    Monopoly of trade in pistachio
    Export of pistachio in Iran is the monopoly of the wealth and power Mafia. A number of Iranian merchants outside the country have said that the world’s major companies who work in the pistachio field can only trade through this Mafia in Iran and others are not permitted to enter this field. This trade is the monopoly of Mr. Hashemi’s family.

    Effort to bring on board a high volume magazine

    Mr. Mehdi Hashemi (Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s son) has done tremendous effort to bring on board the “Green Family” (Khanevadeh Sabz) magazine. This magazine has a circulation of 500,000 and Mr. Hormoz Shojaee Mehr is its publisher. It has major influence on families.

    News suggests that after Mr. Mehdi Hashemi’s failure to do that, he tried to exert pressure on Mr. Hormoz Shojaee Mehr.

    Surveys have concluded that the main characteristics of the Iranian youths are justice seeking, fighting injustice, principle bound, … With this in mind, do Iranian youths accept the rule of the wealth and power Mafia?

    Relationship between the wealth and power Mafia and Freemasonry

    Without a doubt the freemasonry is the most widespread and secretive Mafia current in the world. This huge network consisting of 25000 lodges and 5,000,000 members apparently sets its goal as fighting superstitions but its true goal is to fight religions specially Islam.

    Currently this network is dominated by international Zionism and has attracted some of the political and cultural elites and media in the world to suppress local economy and culture of the countries. The wealth and power Mafia has been linked to the Masonic Mafia and practically has served for their economic, political and cultural goals.

    In this article we try to highlight parts of the relationship between the wealth and power Mafia and the Masonic Mafia. That is why we introduce Mr. Hossein Sabet Baktash, Mohsen Safaian and Abdollahi as symbols of Freemasonry in today’s Iran and their relationship with the wealth and power Mafia.

    A) Hossein Sabet Baktash
    Hossein Sabet Baktash, son of Esmail, was born in 1934 in Mashhad. He went to Germany in 1975 and graduated from Berlin University in Electrical Engineering. His wife is German and one of his brothers works in the antiques’ smuggling field. He worked as a teacher in German schools after his graduation. He later was engaged in rug trade with the capital coming from an Iranian lawyer (?!) and gained huge income. He later went to Canary Island (one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world) and built a chain of nine hotels in this island. He currently manages one of the largest hotel chains in Spain.

    Mr. Hossein Sabet Baktash was introduced to Mr. Yazdanpanah (former president of Kish free zone) in 1993 by the Kargozaran party (Hashemi’s family). By their recommendation, a lot of 770,000 sq.m land (4000 tomans for every square meter totaling 3,080,000,000 tomans) was given to him but in the contract it was written that the agreed upon price be paid after development of the land.

    Presently various plans including dolphin pool and three hotels including Grand hotel of Dariush are being built there. The above lot with its current installations has been appraised at 40,000,000 Rials per square meter totaling 3,080,000,000,000 Rials whilst the original amount has not yet been paid.

    With the recommendation of Kargozaran Party members and Hashemi’s family, Mr. Baktash got $5M loan to develop the land from London branch of the Sepah Bank. He also tries to expand his projects to one third of Kish Island with the backing of the wealth and power Mafia. To this end, Baktash has recently bought Helia, Tamasha, Paeez and Aryan hotels (~ 90,000,000,000 Rials) and started to build a direct, independent road from the airport to his properties.

    According to obtained figures, he has so far billed 1,800,000,000,000 Rials in Kish.
    It has to be noted that recently Prof. Sameei (resident of Germany) intended to build a large and public hospital in Kish named “Kish Hospital” but with the interference from Mr. Sabet – with the excuse that he has to personally do this project – and influence of the wealth and power Mafia, it was decided to give the license of this big project to Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s daughter and it is said that Sabet Baktash would be a partner.

    There are many other important points about Mr. Sabet that include:

    - Relation with the ambassadors of the UK, Germany, Canada and Spain and their support for him
    - Participation in the receptions of foreign embassies in Iran
    - Belief in the need to have good relationship between the occupying Zionist regime and the Islamic Republic of Iran
    - Special relation with Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s children and secret meetings with them abroad including in Saudi Arabia.
    - Brokering between the wealth and power Mafia in Iran and Masonic Mafia abroad.
    - Close cooperation of Mr. Sabet Baktash’s brother (Hassan Sabet, resident of Germany) with Yasser Hashemi (Hashemi Rafsanjani’s son) in smuggling antiques
    - Reciprocal support between Sabet Baktash and Hashemi’s family
    It was mentioned in previous revelations that the wealth and power Mafia considers itself as the owner and master of Kish Island and investors in Kish have to pay loyalties and cooperate with them.

    That is why the large volume of investment (180 billion tomans) of Baktash in Kish shows his close relationship with them. On the other hand Baktash has been one of the biggest supporters of this family in large investment in countries such as Britain, Germany and Canada and is one of the brokers in their investments.

    B) Mohsen Safaian
    Mohsen Safaian who is linked to the Masonic Mafia is resident of the US and for 12 years has accompanied Mr. Mehdi and Mohsen Hashemi in their foreign travels as s translator. During the directorship of Mehdi Hashemi at Naval Installations Company of the Ministry of Oil, he established a company in the field of naval installations in the UK. Mehdi and Mohsen Hashemi were the stakeholders. Using Mehdi Hashemi’s influence in the Ministry of Oil, Safaian arranged several contracts with this ministry.

    C) Mr. Abdollahi
    Before the revolution he owned several companies including Iran’s Wood Industries. Due to his linkage to the Freemasonry and monarchy, he fled the country during revolution. With the help of some people within the wealth and power Mafia, he came back to Iran and managed to retake some of his properties back. Mr. Abdollahi donated a six storey building in Vali Asr Street (past Abbas Abad intersection) to Kargozaran party in 1998.

    He has always supported Kargozaran party and it is said that Karbaschi has met him during his travel to Canada. The wealth and power Mafia, by empowering a team of 10 people from Freemasonry current in Hamshahri institute (during Mr. Karbaschi’s tenure), created a welcoming situation for them. Also contacts between some of Hashemi’s family with the office of Farah Pahlavi, Naini, Iraj Mosta-an, Iraj Jamshidi, etc. who all have linkages to Freemasonry current, can be mentioned.

    Relation between the wealth and power Mafia with monopoly and totalitarianism
    In previous issues it was mentioned that the wealth and power Mafia needs to climb the ladder of power in order to create more wealth. Power from their perspective can serve the following goals:

    1) Reaching to bigger wealth
    2) Removing limiting elements
    3) Creating impunity to protect wealth and power
    The above points cause the Mafia current to always follow totalitarianism and monopolist views.

    The effort of Kargozaran party and Mr. Hashemi’s family to capture the majority in the fifth Parliament and extension of Mr. Rafsanjani’s presidency is testament of totalitarianism and monopolist behaviour of these power hungry Sirs.

    Now in the new round of totalitarianism, the wealth and power Mafia has tried to not only fully control the executive power of the country, but also to add an addendum to have control over Expediency Council.
    Mr. Atrianfar quoted Mohammad Hashemi as saying that first Mr. Hashemi would not lose the Expediency Council and then we would add an additional addendum and finish up the work.

    It is obvious that imposition of totalitarianism and monopoly will have dire consequences:

    - Annihilation of logical government-people relationship and extinction of accountability and control
    - Ruling based on relationship versus merit and creation of bad phenomena of 1000 families

    - Lack of using the experts in development process
    - Termination of the circulation of the experts within the power structure
    - Subversion of the balance of powers within the regime
    - Reducing the pace of transformation and creating conservatism in the executive power
    - Unbalanced distribution of wealth
    - Ignoring national interests and giving priority to Mafia interests
    Collusion of Mr. Hashemi’s family in foreign oil contracts

    We have previously written about the revealing letter of now resigned director of Stat Oil company about bribery of Mr. Hashemi’s family in oil contracts and it was noted that Mr. Hobart (resigned director) in his letter to the board of directors of the company has elaborated on giving $1.5M loyalty for 10 years to Mr. Mehdi Hashemi ( Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s son).
    The intelligence service decided – based on its responsibility – to counter Mehdi Hashemi. But because of widespread influence of the wealth and power Mafia, not only this file suddenly gets closed, but also Abbas Yazdanpanah (one of the detainees in the case) who had made important confessions about Mehdi Hashemi, got a new identity card and passport and fled to the UK.

    It has to be noted that he is one of the main backers of Mehdi Hashemi in foreign contracts and in this regard Mehdi Hashemi has wired him $2M to Yazdanpanah’s credit card for contracts with Total, Elf and Norikway.

    Expulsion of a journalist from the electoral headquarter of Mr.Hashemi

    According to some one close to Mr.Mehdi Hashemi ( son of Mr.Hashemi Rafsanjani) who is active in the electoral headquarter of Mr.Hashemi, Ms.Hengameh Sh.who has been working in this office has been expelled from his post due to her refusal to give in to illicit demands from Mehdi Hashemi.

    According to this source, Ms.Sh intends to make a complaint to the judiciary authorities against Mr.Hashemi’s behaviour.

    Seizure of power by misappropriation of public properties

    Following repeated misuses of public properties by the Kargozaran Party and Mr.Hashemi’s clan in order to acquire power , Mr.Mehdi Hashemi ( son of Mr.Hashemi Rafsanjani) using his own influential power, on 3/3/84 (May, 25, 2005) submits a request of 15000 piles of highest quality papers to the ministry of commerce.

    A meticulous calculation of the above order which is just one example of such cases would signify some 67/5 million of sheets. That would basically mean that the Mafia of power and wealth would use at least one sheet per each Iranian for their electoral campaign!

    Therefore, we must expect extreme extravagance propaganda by their Excellencies of the Kargozaran Party. That is at the time when books in the recent years have been very expensive. The low level of purchase of books from the book exhibition by the students and educated people of the society cites as an example of this situation.

    Further efforts of the Mafia of power and wealth to obtain power

    According to some source near to Mr.Hashemi;s family, since one year ago, this family has been active in electoral propaganda to make grounds for Mr hashemi to launch his presidential campaign. In this respect, they have made contacts with influential authorities in different ministries and governmental organizations to ensure them of their posts being reinstated. These meetings have usually been taking place in Esteghlal hotel.

    This person also states that even thought the party headquarter provided all banners and bill boards for this elections, the Hashemis in each province have spent 10/000/000/000 Rials on transport, boarding and other expenditures which amounts to 300/000/000/000 Rials.

    Abuse of governmental facilities in the new range of efforts to grab the power

    The clan of Mr.Hashemi in their renewed efforts to over take the executive power uses its utmost influence in governmental institutions.

    Some examples in this regard are as follows:

    1) Taking over a seven story building that is located in Niyavaran Ave, besides foreign affaires ministry hotel for elections purposes. This has been taken place by coordination with Mr.Jasebi to exert influence over the Open University.

    2) Taking control of a building situated in Abbas abad Avenue ( Mahnaz Square) belonging to the Ministry of sciences and technology,

    3) Holding a building located in Jahan koodak square which is owned by Oil Ministry,
    4) Making use of building, sites and facilities of the regime’s Expediency Council for Mr.Hashemi’s elections affaires.

    5) Using the site and facilities of the regime’s Centre for strategic studies (affiliates to the regime’s Expediency Council) for the same purposes,

    Foreign investments of the Mafia of power and wealth

    The Mafia movements across the world by indulging to illegal and illicit activities such as bribery, economic collusion, money laundering, smuggling…can gather lucrative income and immense amount of capital.

    They never show any interest in any investments in their own countries. They usually transfer their capita to a third country and make their investments abroad.

    The Mafia in Iran too is not an exemption and pursues the same rule. Like their counterparts in other parts of the world, they too are reluctant to make any domestic investments. Understanding the crux of the matter of this phenomenon is of vital importance.

    In the first place, it seems that this might be for some immunity objectives and preventive measures against confiscation of their capital. But in a deeper analysis of the matter, some other aspects will be revealed.

    One of the major permanent worries of Mafia groups is the enlightenment of the public awareness with regard to their deeds and acts. The domestic investments by such groups can on the one hand expose the extent of their wide scope of economic activities and on the other hand may instigate public minds to raise doubts and demand explanations and justifications concerning the means and the ways of making such incredible investments.

    Revealing the scope and bulk of such illegal activities and the origin of these illegitimate investments can result to public outrage which in turn can obviously prevent them from winning power, especially in elections fields.

    Establishment of a tourism centre for foreign VIPs

    After having purchased a plot of land of 100,000 square meters along side the forest in the north of Toronto’, Hashemi’s family has established a huge and beautiful tourism and amusement centre very well equipped with all kinds of recreation facilities even a helicopter band which is quite unique in the world. 49 percent of this park belongs to this family and the rest to Canadian tourism commission. This centre is obviously meant for highly influential authorities and very rich tourists.

    Hashemi clan’s Highway in Canada
    Some other investments of Mr. Hashemi and his family in foreign countries are construction projects, like bridges, highways etc…. These contracts are usually drawn with the help of one of the powerful firms of those foreign countries.
    One of these highly profitable projects is a 150 Km highway in Toronto. This highway enjoys a very suitable situation with various entrances and exits to all parts of the city and is known by the local people as Hashemi highway!

    According to some reliable sources, Bank SBS has helped Hashemi’s clan to build this highway. The tolls are a huge bulk of income derived from this highway for this family. It is ironic that according to Iranian official sources, there are more than 1000 hazardous points in roads network in Iran.

    Construction of luxurious villas abroad

    Members of Hashemi family have bought lots of large plots of lands besides forests in some very beautiful vicinity in Toronto and Vancouver in Canada. They have constructed several modern and fashionable large villas of 10 to 20 thousand sqm furnished with the most advanced facilities and equipments. These luxurious villas costs millions of dollars and are amongst the most beautiful ones in Canada.

    Founding of oil company and construction of villas in the UK

    According to above said information, Mehdi and Mohsen Hashemi (Mr.Hashemi Rafsanjani’s sons) own an oil equipments company in the UK. Considering the previous positions of Mehdi Hashemi in the Oil Ministry and his influence on this ministry, his company enjoys one of the highest and most important statuses in oil tenders in Iran and Middle East.

    The general manager of this company is named Mohsen Safaeian (residing in the USA) who for 10 years has been working as translator for this family in their foreign trips .He has managed to build many luxurious villas in the best locations in the UK for this family.

    How has this Mafia become so rich?

    Although the aforementioned cases are just the tip of ice burg of incredible extent of foreign investments of this Mafia, but they raise a simple question over the source and origin of financing these enormous investments abroad.

    At the end of this article, some minor instances of sources of such credits are presented:
    - Abuse of power by Mehdi Hashemi in order to import foreign made buses with special import levy concessions.

    - Abuse of power by the same person in economic and political institutions in order to obtain information on the stock market, something which is described as informative rent in Iran.

    - receiving high percentage commissions from the $10/000/000/000 agreements to purchase airbus planes,
    - Obtaining $150/000/000 commission from $1/000/000/000 oil contract with Swiss Zuig company

    - Collecting a lucrative lump sum commission from Italian company BNTI in the course of reaching agreement for executing $3/000/000/000 projects in Mobarekeh steel , chador melo and Khuzestan.

    Mehdi Hashemi uses his strings and pulling in Oil Ministry to achieve the tenders and bids in very big contracts of Oil ministry with the Engineering Company to build Iran’s marine sites ( owned by Hashemi clan),

    Yaser Hashemi another son of Hashemi too, has collected huge commission from the director of Orland French company to buy tactical Jeep for Iran, Something that has been confessed by the French director as well.

    Receiving $1,000,000 commission by Mehdi Hashemi in order to export buses to Libya,
    Collecting $150,000,000 commission by Mahmoud Hashemi in the course of making contract with Iran Metro Company and Norinko Comp,

    - Mostafa Davarizadeh a close relatives of Mr. Hashemi acquires some $1,500,000 as commission for the purchase of electronic and land items from Bob Green company,
    In another case Mostafa Davoudzadeh received 600/000 German marks for repairing Polish tanks.

    Secret dealings of wealth and power mafias

    Operating in secret and working in shadows are among the significant and unique characteristics of mafia groups. This factor has a direct link to their survival, transforming these groups into highly complicated and frightening networks.

    Despite this fact, however, the unavoidable comings and goings of mafia figures can be one of the most important areas for investigating and gaining knowledge about these notorious groups.

    In general, and for various reasons, mafia groups have no choice but to travel to different countries. Among these reasons are:

    – Establishing relations and coordinating with foreign mafia network
    – Acquiring illegitimate and illegal income
    – Investing outside their home country
    – Recreation and leisure

    The travels of the wealth and power mafia in Iran is not an exception to this rule. It can be analyzed within the confines of the aforementioned general features.
    In this issue, the wealth and power mafia will be examined and analyzed with respect to foreign travels and secret relations so that other aspects of these high-flying individuals’ dark houses can be exposed. Our hope is to contribute to the enlightening of public opinion.

    Mr. Hashemi’s family breaks record in foreign travel

    According to one source close to Mr. Hashemi’s family, in the past several years, ten members of this family (including sons and daughters, wife, and brothers of Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani) have traveled abroad on 750 separate occasions in total. Among these instances, the repeated trips of Mehdi Hashemi (close to 260 times) and Fatemeh Hashemi (about 200 times) must be looked at more closely than the others.

    Evidence and experience indicate that during these recurrent trips, suspicious meetings have taken place with officials of the Pahlavi regime, people affiliated with the mafia abroad, and even elements tied to spy agencies. Some of these are alluded to below:

    – Secret dealings of Mehdi Hashemi with Changiz Farnezhad, former chief of the anti-spying office of SAVAK;
    – Secret relations of Mehdi Hashemi with Nakhoda Kamal Darvish, who cooperates with the British MI6 intelligence service;
    – Mehdi Hashemi’s secret talks with an American diplomat on a plane during a trip to Saudi Arabia (which was pre-planned);
    – Mehdi Hashemi’s negotiations with about 200 Arab entrepreneurs in Dubai;
    – Secret relations of Mr. Hashemi’s family with foreign news agencies and publications for the purpose of spreading extensive propaganda in support of Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani;
    – Setting up a post office box in London to receive secret letters.

    On this basis, if we calculate the cost of 2-way tickets alone for every trip to be (at least) $3,000, the total cost of tickets for these trips would amount to roughly $225,000. Considering the long duration of these trips and the enormous travel fees involved, the total costs would certainly be much higher.

    Traveling abroad for medical check up

    On October 6, 2004, Mohammad Hashemi traveled to Switzerland along with his wife and father-in-law for a medical check up. After spending 11 days there, he returned to Tehran on October 17, 2004.

    It has been reported that the said individuals intended to go to Switzerland through Germany, but because of a number of issues (!?), they had a stop over at Dubai instead. For the route change, they incurred an extra cost of $2,000.

    Business relations with a hated official

    In the course of closing business deals, Mahmoud Hashemi (Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s brother) had extensive trades with a company manged by Colin Powell. This is while many European and other credible companies were also active in this field.

    It should be mentioned that Colin Powell was a commander of the US navy warship Vincennes during the Iran-Iraq war.

    On July 4, 1988, he ordered a missile attack against an Iran Air Airbus over the Persian Gulf. In this unprecedented and ruthless act, 290 of our countrymen, including innocent men, women and children were martyred.

    After this vicious act, Powell received a medal of honor from the American president at the time.

    Meetings with the chief Rabbi of the occupying regime in Jerusalem

    Ms. Faezeh Hashemi headed an Iranian delegation to Bucharest to attend an international congress. On the sidelines of the congress, she met with “HaRav Meir Lau” (HaRav is the title of the chief rabbi of the Zionists).

    The Zionist regime’s channel 2 TV confirmed the report and broadcast two pictures from this meeting, in which Ms. Faezeh Hashemi was cheerfully carrying on a warm conversation with HaRav Meir Lau.

    Moreover, HaRav Meir Lau confirmed this report during an interview on the occasion of Yom Kippur (important Jewish holiday).

    It is worth noting that despite the fact that the reports of the meeting were confirmed by Zionist sources, both parties refrained from talking about the content of the talks.
    Scamming Arab sheikhs

    As was pointed out in previous reports, Mehdi Hashemi (Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s son) has extensive relations with Arab sheikhs. During a deal with one of the sheikhs, Hassan Anani, Mehdi Hashemi did not act in accordance with the agreements, thus engaging in a multi-million fraud after receiving $3,000,000 from Anani (despite giving a promissory note to him).

    Following this incident, Anani sued Hashemi. But, he passed up on the opportunity to pursue the case, fearing for the safety of his investments in Iran after Mehdi Hashemi confronted him with threats.

    It is worth noting that Hassan Anani was one of the largest shareholders of the Noushab company in Iran during the time he was doing business with Mehdi Hashemi.

    He said: I want to vote for the Executives of Kargozaran Party (i.e. the power grabbers and wealth and power mafia).

    I asked: Why?!

    He responded: They have embezzled so much that they are too content now and so they may not even take government and public funds.

    I laughed and said: Incidentally, the reverse is true. Haven’t you heard the old adage, “Take from the hungry and give to the fat”? These individuals are hungrier than everybody else.

    The power and wealth mafia and lack of transparency

    Operating in the shadows, secret deals, acquiring illegitimate and illegal income, on the one hand, and deceitful propaganda to obtain or maintain power, on the other, have transformed mafia groups into the most opaque movements in contemporary societies.
    On this basis, mafia groups engage in clandestine diplomacy and opaque deal makings, and when it comes time to grab power, they bring their lack of accountability and lack of transparency into the political fold.

    The conduct of the wealth and power mafia in Iran should naturally be analyzed in the abovementioned context. These high-flying individuals were in charge for 8 years during the so-called construction period without being held accountable. They forced the nation of Iran into debt from foreign banks, left projects incomplete and created a painful gap between the rich and the poor. In addition, during the reformist government, they were placed into the central arrangements, and while upsetting the structure’s balance, they reduced Seyyed Mohammad Khatami government’s accountability to incredibly low levels.

    There are speculations about the reasons for the lack of accountability and transparency of the mafia, one of which can be mentioned here.

    The power-thirsty individuals work in rooms with opaque windows and try to prevent people (as judges and observers) from becoming aware of their secret and complex relationships. This is because transparency would destroy the popular acceptability of the mafia and would cut their hands from the seat of power.

    In this regard, in a proposal (which points to the lack of transparency of these high-flying individuals), Mr. Atrianfar has said to one of Mr. Hashemi’s staff, that: Bring together a strong journalistic team made up of people like Shamsolvaezin, Ghouchani, Saeed Leylaz, Mahmoud Sadri, and others, so that they can form beautiful and vague expressions for Mr. Hashemi’s TV spot. In that program, he must not talk about the things we have done. He should just mention in general that we led a construction period for 8 years and now we want to work out the current challenges.

    In 1990, Moussavi explained about the conduct of the Executives of Construction Party in an analysis by referring to them as “power-thirsty.”

    Hashemi family’s pledge to resolve famous high-rise developer’s legal issues

    Recently, Mr. Jalil Makinehchi, one of the famous high-rise developers and entrepreneurs, who has transferred his wealth from Iran to Dubai, dedicated an expensive seven-story building (with blue-tainted glass exterior) located on the Nejat Elahi Street to the election team of Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani.

    It is worth mentioning that Mr. Jalil Makinehchi received a permit from the Tehran municipality (when Mr. Karbaschi was mayor) to develop high-rises and destroyed a lot of gardens in violation of legal codes.

    It has also been reported that the said individual has a large legal case at the Judiciary for a number of legal infringements. An individual by the name of Judge Movahed is presiding over the case.

    On this basis, Mr. Rafsanjani’s family has promised Makinehchi to follow up and resolve his legal dilemmas in exchange for the latter’s financial support for Mr. Hashemi’s election campaign for future elections and victory.

    It is worth noting that currently Mr. Tah Hashemi and a number of other power-thirsty people (members of the Executives of Construction Party) are based, and conduct activities, in this building as part of the “office of provincial affairs of Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani.”

    Using public funds at Mr. Hashemi’s campaign headquarters

    According to one source close to the campaign headquarters of Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani, Mr. Hosseini (one of the officials responsible for administering the finances of the presidency, who has budgets outside the confines of laws relating to public accounting) has been appointed as the person in charge of finance and support for Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s headquarters.

    It is worth noting that the budgets outside the confines of this appointment point to the misappropriation of the presidency’s resources, equipment, and budget for the benefit of Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s campaign headquarters.

    Moreover, as a continuation of the wealth and power mafia’s misappropriation of public resources during elections, one can point to the presence of ten female staff of the Expediency Council working at Mr. Hashemi’s campaign headquarters.

    The maritime fleet of the wealth and power mafia

    As mentioned previously, Mr. Hashemi’s family on the one hand enjoys extensive influence in the country’s ports and customs, while on the other hand, it has also acquired some private enterprises in the maritime industry. This has led to the friends and families of these people to expand their reach in order to form a naval fleet and get involved in building ships.

    Obviously, one of the advantages of controlling ship building and forming a maritime fleet is that it makes smuggling more effortless. We can also consider the following points which are worth noting:

    … shares in the “Farasahel” company belongs to Mr. Mehdi Hashemi (Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s son). The company originally operated as the builder of naval commodities and structures, beginning its work in the southwestern naval industries of Bandar Abbas. But, after a while, in view of Mehdi Hashemi’s extensive influence in the Oil Ministry (as former head of the naval facilities of the Oil Ministry and current head of the organization in charge of fuel efficiency), its operations turned into the smuggling of diesel fuel under the guise of exporting diesel oil, stone, sand, and gravel.

    One of Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s sons owns two units of the platform affiliated with the Sadra company. The first is beside the marine facilities of Bushehr while the second one is located in Asalouyeh, South Pars.

    Mr. Hashemian (Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s nephew) owns Ferdos 1, 2, 3 of the Ferdos fleet, which owns 10 ships.

    Even though the Ferdos fleet operates under the name of Sayyadi, Hashemian uses these three ships, along with the Ferdos ship, to smuggle commodities. Participating in the Sayyadi operation is considered to be a cover for this.

    Dr. Fatehian, who is one of the close associates of Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s family, owns three ships called Hani, Kasra, and Setareh Jonoub.

    The Kavian 2 ship belongs to a person identified as Sarrafzadeh, who is connected with and closed to Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s family.

    Handing out of satellite phones by Mr. Hashemi’s campaign headquarters

    Recently, Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani’s campaign headquarters (which incorporates his family and members of the Executives of Construction Party), distributed 1,000 satellite phone lines operating outside the data network of the country to its campaign staff throughout Iran.

    In view of the high cost of satellite phone use ($0.55/minute) and the price of its line and device (about $1,100), this question comes into mind that (aside from the source of the money) what objectives is the mafia really pursuing?

    Story 1: The Executives of Kargozaran Party election campaign headquarters cancelled campaign travels due to lack of financial resources.

    Story 2: The Kargozaran Party campaign headquarters paid $30,000,000 as operational capital to its provincial offices (aside from costs of setting up offices and ad campaigns).
    Story 3: The Kargozaran Party campaign headquarters paid $15,000 for a single poster of their candidate.

    Mr. Hashemi’s clan wealth over precious horses

    Horse riding is one of the sports favored most by Rafsanjani clan, and has brought much squandering of wealth.

    All members of the Rafsanjani clan have in possession expensive horses.

    Yasser Rafsanjain has for example bought a very expensive horse at 3,200,000,000 Rials, now worth 5000,000,000 Rials.

    Faezeh Rafsanjani also has a horse worth 2,500,000,0000 Rials.

    Faezeh Rafsanjani and Karbaschi along with a couple of other officials initiated a horse riding club in Lavasan with numerous high breed horses. The locals in the area have in many occasions expressed dissatisfaction over the activities of the club and compared Faezeh Rafsanjani’s luxury life with that of the former Farah and Ashraf Pahalavi (Spouse and sister of the former Shah).

    Daily expenses for feeding and caring for the horses reach 10,000,000 Rials. For example the daily diet of the horses which contains fresh water melons reaches a high amount of 100,000 Tomans.

    Receiving loans from the Presidential office

    In 1996 Yasser Rafsanjani – head of the Horse riding Federation and advisor to Mr.Forouzesh in the Ministry of Jihad for Reconstruction- used his brother’s influence in as the presidents head of office-Mohsen Rafsanjani, and managed to obtain a loan of 1,5000,000,000 Rials without going though legal procedures, from the savings interests of Jihad Ministry.

    He also received a loan of 400,000 dollars on 75/5/21 (Aughust 11, 1996) (from the Ministry of Jihad for Reconstruction – still though illegal means. It is said that the sum was to cover the costs of importing horses from Russia. Later research proved that the import never occurred.

    Usurping land through bullying

    Some time ago, Yasser Rafsanjani tried to take over a ranch named “Sarin Darkia ” in Fasham district -4,000,000 square meter.

    This ranch belonged to a rancher who owned cattle (1500 sheep) with his brother, and who was very much against handing his land to Rafsanajani. In this regard, Yasser Rafsanajani while threatened this person had said: “Give up this ranch since I am resolved to get this from the government”.

    Sharing imports and exports with Aunty
    Mrs. Faezeh Rafsanjani along with her aunty – Mrs. Bahremani- who is 70 years old bought a land 30,000,000 (equal to 3000 hectares) in FirousKooh plane to construct a horse riding club. The price of the land was 45,000,000,000 Rials.

    We have to remind our readers that Mrs. Bahremani’s main interest lies with petrol exports. She is a main partner to Faeze Rafsanajani.

    Organization of EMDAD Tourism under Rafsanjani clan

    Yasser Rafsanjani ( Rafsanjani’s son) established an organization called ” Emdad Jahangardi”. This organization’s mandate was to provide with on-road repairs as a partner to “Iran Khordo” company (A car manufacture company).

    This new organization was to receive 40,000 Rials for each product of “Iran Khodro” company for its services to the company. This amount is of course apart from the projected amount due to services provided on the road.

    In view of the high manufacturing rate of Iran Khodro Company – production line reaches 400 thousand cars- annual interest of this company for providing services would reach a charming figure of 400,000 (annual production rate of Iran Khodro) times 40,000 (amount received for each production ) would equal to……….

    Building a Lake

    Yasser Hashemi initiated a business for repair and reconstruction on the lake in Boushehr at high cost of 30,000,000,000 Rials.

    It is worth noting that near the aforementioned lake there are two other repair companies at work at the moment, belonging to the Navy.

    In order to prevent collision of interest, the Navy had proposed Yasser Rafsanjani, hiring the companies, which was not accepted.

    Running a separate lake for repair would constitute a parallel work supervising services to ships that carry smuggled goods.

    This piece seems more editorial like than informational. You take one side of the story and run with it, whereas something that I would hope that you learned about writing any “informational” piece from the time you were in middle school English and History classes was that both sides of an argument should always be presented, so long as there is *any* information thereof. In high school, you should have learned that even in writing an editorial or an argument piece that you should always thoroughly state and explain the position against which you are arguing. It is such a shame that you forgot these lessons of old, or just plain ignored them.
    Did you think that, perhaps, these people, whether Israeli or Iranian, might have created accounts to share their story. If they are Iranian, that maybe they found that it was a tool that they could use to share their indignation, and to share with the world what they saw in what they felt was a great injustice – a great enough injustice to potentially give up their lives and be tortured by their own government. Personally, I only just created a twitter account just to follow the stories – I have never even opened twitter’s webpage before Sunday. Twitter is the only way that information has been making it out of Iran, and a number of news outlets across the world have been using twitter to get what little information they can, as their foreign correspondents in Iran have been silenced by the government there.
    And so I say shame on you, not for writing this piece – maybe you are right and I am wrong – but for the fact that you seem to not be open to the alternative point of view.
    Also, I find it shameful that you use your voice on a “news service” that does not follow politics or world turmoil such as revolutions, especially in such an economically cut off nation, to spew your personal beliefs, politics, and hatred (not for the Jews, but for conservatism, before you claim that I am calling you an anti-Semite).

    BobM, it’s all related. When nations and regimes are brought down for someone else’s folly and by implementing on the ground strategies like agent provocateurs placed within crowds to incite riots as well as electronic provocation, it effects the markets, the charts and all of us. This is entirely appropriate here for that reason.

    People must know what is manipulating the markets.

    @Mike from Dallas,

    That is the trouble, you are probably a decent man, a man of principles, an honest man, who has been taken for a chump, by the very system you believe in!

    No disrespect, but you have got the wrong end of the stick. You are the product of neo liberalism, although you may think of yourself as a true conservative, alas the liars, thieves, and pimps, whom have long infested the body politics, and have managed to hijack the hopes, and aspirations of millions of people, just like yourself, are all neo liberals/conservatives.

    Freedom,
    Democracy,
    Opportunity for all,
    Justice,

    All of the above are only buzz words to sell the neo liberalism/conservatism in the flavour that you prefer; small government, conservative, democrat, independent, these are all same shit different smells so to speak of.

    What you see in Tehran is the irate Gucci Crowd, angry at the results of the real people voting, the real people whom have voted for Ahmadinejad as their president. He is the only president so far that has taken universities to provinces, electrified the villages, renewed the housing stocks of the villages, helped small farmers with various cheap loans, and ensured free access of all those in the remotest parts of Iran to free education, and free health.

    Ahmadinejad is trying to breakup the monopoly of the those oligarch in Iran and open up the business sectors so far monopolised by the same oligarchs to the ordinary and not so rich Iranians. Fact that he is getting a bad press in the US and elsewhere is the degrees of his effectiveness to defend his country’s interests against the predatory bully boys of the big corporates, and also his standing up against the injustices of the Zionists inflicted upon millions of poor Semites, yes Arabs are Semites. His standing in the defence of the defenceless has earned him no friends among the neo conservatives and rabid Zionists infesting the highest echelons of the US government.

    Go read the link I had posted earlier, and try and understand Mike, what you see is not what it is about.

    Rafsanjani is the multi billionaire evil mastermind behind Mousavie whose connections to the murky world of arms dealers, CIA informants, and rabid necon Zionists such as Michael Ledeen are so well documented. Do you think Iranians would want a CIA stooge, such as Saddam, Pinochet, or Mousavie as their leader? (I bet you did not know that Saddam was a CIA stooge either. His CIA handler was a dentist in Cairo believe it or not)

    Read my earlier posts, that is if you want to make sense from what you see and hear, good luck.

Yet he is called a deranged ‘CONSPIRACY THEORIST’ in attempts to refute him and his evidence! Wow! Orwell would be spinning in grave at this clear use of doublethink.

     How brainwashed you must be to allow this type of mental gymnatics to occur in your brain. I bet these same people called anyone who pointed out election irregularities in the USA in 2000 and 2004 ‘Conspiracy Theorists’ also – but they are now the purveyors of all truth after the Iranian election!!

     Also, since the accusations against some factions in Israel are being called ‘anti-semetic’ racism – wouldn’t that mean accusations against some factions in Iran be ‘anti-persian’ racism? With this type of doublethink, you might be able to call a Jewish person anti-semetic and believe it! 1984 in 2009?!

     I love that both you and anonymous 8:24am used amusing contemporary references. Turner Diaries and Daniel Pipes. See? We can have a little light-heartedness even amidst bouts of bloodlust debates.

     @sharpinchitown:
     um… people in Tehran are smart enough to know that most of the pictures of the crowd will be spread around the world. So, the best way to convey their sentiments is through English. Though, if you look through all of the pictures, you see plenty of signs in Farsi, as well. And as far as the journalists, well, even a BBC reporter got it right when he declared that he had never seen restrictions like the ones released today, saying that any media personnel of any kind with a camera on the streets would be arrested. That’s madness and apparent desperation. Though, it’ll still only help them in the smaller cities where there is less “twittering” going on. With no foreign reporters around, they can do just about whatever they like, and whether you consider the US just as bad, you’ve still gotta admit it’s very bad.

     @Observer:
     I can honestly say that I would rather be a chump by your definition than a jaded man with no hope. I personally respect that you are looking at the entire election issue from a realistic perspective, taking into account the accumulation of human history where hopes of change are most often dashed by power-grabs and disappointment.
     Regardless, I do not take kindly to your disrespect of these people’s right to have a different point of view. Nor do I appreciate your disrespect in implying I am some fool given over to dreams of rainbows and fairies. My problem is not with your disagreement with the overall motivations but more with your effusive spewing of only dystopic predictions. People that feel it necessary to openly criticize the current Iranian movement seem to characteristically have the gall to call all of those whom believe in protest “fools” that obviously don’t know as much as you do. That implication is as repugnant as it is incorrect.
     I am sure that many are mislead and believe angels will sing of their victory, but I, along with many others, hold the realistic hope that real protest can make a difference. False democracies such as Iran are inherently weak when facing true internal opposition. More obviously totalitarian states such as China in Tienanmen Square and North Korea in any time ever have little true issue with crushing opposition, but an obvious oligarchy such as Iran is notoriously torn between the perception and reality that can be more easily affected by public protest, especially if that protest can get out to the rest of the world.
     As we grow in knowledge, we must actively ward off losing touch with the truly human aspect of world events. Things are not so cut and dry as you say, and though many may profit from these current actions in Iran, we cannot ignore the real human beings out there on the front lines. Perhaps you do not believe anymore in the human spirit, but I never needed a political figure or revolution to believe in it. I know there is more to us than just the sum of our parts. You cannot measure or write a long article analyzing the true effect of the human will to change and resist in this world.

     You may believe that this is all a farce, but I don’t believe you have the right to dismiss the genuine beliefs of others. I genuinely believe that things can change, and I know that throngs of Iranians also feel it. They know the truth that this is a time they can stand for something, and in this life full of big wins and even bigger losses, sometimes standing for something greater than yourself is the most you’re ever gonna do. And maybe that’s okay. Who are we to condemn what matters most to someone else? Who are we to judge the soul of a man?
     I know you don’t like it, but I’ve chosen to support these people.
     I’ve chosen to support those that want to stand for something in the face of it all.

     I’ve been puzzled by Prez A. winning so big, when he didn’t need to. His victory is clearly in the western spook’s interest, to keep the media villain in place. But election fraud is usually done to make the winner win, especially in close elections, and not to pad the margin.

     Is it possible that the vote has been cooked by provocateurs to make Ahmadinejad win TOO big, so as to outrage Mousavi’s supporters? Kind of a reverse switcharoo, a deception’s deception.

     If Prez A. actually and clearly one by 51-55% of the vote, it would have been more palatable to Mr. M.’s supporters–city slickers outpolled by the more numerous damn country bumpkins– better luck next time and all that.

     But by tipping the vote so much in Prez A.’s favor, well, it wouldn’t take much to get anti-A. folks riled up big time, and help foment Iranian internal unrest.

     I have read several posts from Iranians and people from other non-English speaking countries. Interesting, isn’t it, that they spoke in English. Your ethnocentrism could easily misjudged as the attitude of all Americans. You see, while America is founded on immigration, and there is no national language, we still speak primarily English and assume that other countries are full of people like us- who only care to learn one language. However, people around the world are actually much more likely to speak several languages than this country which became what it is today, based upon the number of people who came here from around the world. In addition, why is it so much more shocking for you to believe that an Iranian might have posted in English than an Israeli? Furthermore, you mentioned that it was odd that a newspaper would comment on someone’s Twitter. How often have U.S. media outlets commented on celebrity Twitters? Surely the party that some singer is attending is of less consequence than what is happening in Iran. You asked, “Why were these profiles OBSESSED with Iran?” Surely, you do not find it astonishing that an Iranian might be obsessed with providing information about what is happening in his or her own country.
     Have you looked at the photographs posted on these Tweets? I sincerely doubt that Israeli’s went about destroying buildings and computer labs, shooting local people, and so forth, just to have some good pictures for a big prank. Surely, Israel has better things to do with its time. The people who started these Twitter accounts are not here to prove that they are Iranians, but you can’t prove that they aren’t.

     The writer claims that @change_for_Iran, @persiankiwi, @stopahmadi and others are fake accounts created in Israel. The six points he uses to back up the claim are pathetic.

     1. They each created their twitter accounts on Saturday June 13th.
     That would be the day when it became clear that the election had turned out badly… and that a new anonymous Twitter account would be necessary. (Tweeting from a named account would be incredibly dangerous. A few courageous and/or foolish souls continued to do this.)

     2. Each had extremely high number of Tweets since creating their profiles.
     Well, duh. The whole point of creating these accounts was to alert the rest of the world, and each other, what was going on.

     3. “IranElection” was each of their most popular keyword
     Hello?! That was the subject of their tweets. IranElection was the number 1 trend on Twitter generally.

     4. With some very small exceptions, each were posting in ENGLISH.
     If the goal is to raise awareness of their situation in the rest of the world, what language would you use?

     5. Half of them had the exact same profile photo
     For the first few hours these accounts were just using the default Twitter icon. Then some began adopting the same green icon as a sign of unity. Copy, paste, click. How hard is that?

     6. Each had thousands of followers, with only a few friends. Most of their friends were EACH OTHER.
     The writer is clearly clueless about Twitter. Why would they follow anyone other than other Iranian twitterers, any of whom would be easy to find with the ‘IranElection’ hashtag?

     He makes great play of the fact that the Jerusalem Post was the first to report their existence. But its report was posted many hours after thousands of Twitterers had already discovered them online. How were they found? Because they hash-tagged their tweets #Iranelection. Anyone following that tag immediately saw that they were worth following.

     I was only Change_for_Iran’s 1100th follower, but was still well ahead of that Post story. The power and significance of what Change_for_Iran was writing was obvious, and it certainly reads as if it were genuine: the tweets included doubts, typos, retractions and the occasional flailing out, as well as heart-stopping descriptions of real-time events such as a tear-gas attack. But to make doubly sure I contacted Twitter’s CEO Evan William (@ev) and he confirmed to me that @change_for_Iran appeared to be tweeting from inside Iran.

     I think history will show that the use of Twitter and other tools by these students has taken social media to a new level of significance by engaging millions of people around the world in a personal way in an issue they otherwise wouldn’t look twice at. Whether or not you agree with their protests, they at least deserve respect for incredible courage and ingenuity.

Must have been right before the white house emailed me and verified the results of the Iranian election. lol,” in response to a writer. I would never seek stock advice from someone as unprofessional as to insult his readers with this tone of sarcasm. If you put controversial “information” on your blog, especially when the blog is supposed to be about financial issues instead of politics, be prepared for some backlash. As a “professional,” I would think you would consider your reputation a bit further before posting such unrelated propaganda on your website and then insulting those who speak out against it. You have the right to your conspiracy theory, but the people who read this also have the right to express their opinions.

     Post from John: “gennie,

     What sort of comment is this? I doubt a person’s personal opinions prevent others from doing business with him or her. Business is business. Did you really think the logic of this comment through before posting? Do you really believe that a person would deny me stock advice on the basis of my beliefs? My personal belief is that people, such as yourself, who pick fights with others online do not have the nerve to stand up for themselves in real life, so they find a way to bully others in a scenario where they might feel protected (this is why I stood up to Charting Stocks for his sarcasm toward Sharon). You can call someone names in the safety and anonymity of the internet, but, rather than strength, it conveys cowardice and ignorance. It saddens me that the world has no protocol for respect on the internet. This does not apply only to John, but also to many others responding to this issue- no matter the side he or she has taken on it. This is a world where we should be able to discuss differing opinions in a respectful manner. Can we not have a polite, MATURE discussion about our various beliefs?

You have no idea who won (how could you?) and also left out a few other pertinent facts, like the Board of Elections in Iran reported the same numbers to the three candidates running against Ahmadinejad, who is not exactly known for his honesty in the first place.

     Why did Jpost publish an article with twitter accounts hours after they were published on twitter? easy. It’s called a tip. A reporter who gets a tip from someone interested in publicity (like the leaders of the new Iranian uprising against the fascist regime), goes on to publish it.
     You are aware ofcourse that if a reporter gets an email saying “I’m an Iranian who’s going to be posting updates by twitter, publish me” in all likeliness he would.

     June 17th, 2009 at 2:43 am

     As someone who has been following the iranelection hashtag for about 2 weeks, let me just clarify some points.

     Many people tweeting about the Iranian presidential campaign (before the results were announced) were using the iranelection tag to make it easier to follow each other and reports. It was a conscious, planned decision, well before the election results were announced.

     For those of us following the hashtag, the three new accounts were immediately visible and confirmed information that many of us were getting from multiple sources, not only twitter. Of course, it was natural to follow them whether the JPost linked to them or not. (They also linked to my blog several years ago and I had nothing to do with them and was not able to manipulate events in Iran as a result. Damn it. If only I had had Twitter.)

     I have also been working with expat Iranians on an info campaign concerning the elections, and we have managed to garner hundreds of followers on twitter w/o having much new to share with people simply because we are communicating about a popular topic.

     The morning of the results, many, many people inside and outside Iran all had the same profile image: Where is My Vote. Things spread fast with social media. Really fast.

     Plus, there has been information in Persian for more than a couple of weeks indicating that voter fraud was highly probable, which explains why many were so prepared to address it.

     From everything we know, the demonstrations in Iran are not being organized through Twitter. They are a manifestation of the frustration that has been bubbling in Iran for years.

     This is strange. “Israel has no right to develop Nuclear energy (unlike Iran!)”. I wasn’t aware that there was some sort of world government giving out permits. The reason that we did not sign the treaty is that, unlike Iran and everybody else, we don’t sign treaties with the intent to completely ignore them. If we didn’t have Nuclear weapons, we would have long since been subject to chemical attacks.

     Obama’s “reluctance” to interfere is a bunch of hogwash.
     Safe to say, the US and Israel have indeed been interfering from the get go.
     Thinking of Venezuala and attempts there to overthrow chavez and of course the bogus orange revolution, this just has covert overthrow written all over it.
     Israel would be a huge beneficiary of a regime change, particularly one that is more favourable to them.

Iran hasn’t attacked a country in hundreds of years. Israel, on the other hand, launches an aggressive war every 10 or so years (2 in the last couple of years).

     Granted, my country does not have a better track record. In fact, it’s even worse. I’m not against your country (and certainly not the PEOPLE of your country) but I disagree with a specific element within your government such as the right wing Likud party ideology.

     If it’s all a scheme, are the people protestsing in Tehran imaginary?
     Is it Israeli policemen beating and shooting your students on the streets? blocking your internet access? banning your media reporters?

     It might be easier to think so….But we are not your enemies…
     It’s only your president and Ayatollahs that makes us such.
     After all, it’s easier to have an enemy, if there is enemy at the gate, many wrong things can be justified.
     If there is peace, the people might start thinking wether their governemt is ideal and if not they might try to replace it, a thing your Ayatollahs will not allow to happen…

     Your real problem is not Israel, it’s too far away and probably too small to hurt your people and your nation even if it wanted to,

     Your Commie has no regard for human life, not even of his own. For this reason men, I want to impress upon you the need for extreme watchfulness. The enemy may come individually, or in strength. He may even appear in the form of our own troops. But however we must stop him. We must not allow him to gain entrance to this base. Now, I’m going to give you THREE SIMPLE rules: First, trust NO one, whatever his uniform or rank, unless he is known to you personally; Second, anyone or anything that approaches within 200 yards of the perimeter is to be FIRED UPON; Third, if in doubt, shoot first then ask questions later. I would sooner accept a few casualties through accidents rather losing the entire base and its personnel through carelessness. Any variation of these rules must come from me personally. Any variation on these rules must come from me personally. Now, men, in conclusion, I would like to say that, in the two years it has been my privilege to be your commanding officer, I have always expected the best from you, and you have never given me anything less than that. Today, the nation is counting on us. We’re not going to let them down. Good luck to you all.

     Thanks for the research.

     There are a lot of would-be puppeteers in the dispute, both within and outside Iran. I recommend the analysis of the election by former Indian diplomat M K Bhadrakumar here: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/KF16Ak05.html

     He asserts that the Ahmedinejad / Mousavi election was a proxy battle on behalf of puppeteers Khamenei and Rafsanjani.

     Then the Bush administration announced $400 million for destabilization efforts in 2007. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that found its way into Iranian dissident hands (who would generally be unaware of its source). Perhaps someone in the US intelligence community believes they have a lever here, perhaps some recipient thinks he’s taking advantage of the CIA.

     Whatever happens, I think it would be best for the outside world to insist on clarity and calm, but otherwise keep their hands off. CIA meddling here, were it to become visible, could set back hopes for genuine reform by decades.

They were completing a 2 minute segment on why the 2004 USA election was NOT fraudulant even though all exit polls showed different results. Their reason – exit polls are not accurate and cannot be trusted. I believe Fox News later even said exit polls should be illegal!

     Ironically, the news story just before this was a 15 minute outcry against the ’sham’ Ukrainian elections. They said it was a fraudulant election and that a ‘dictator’ was trying to take over the country – it sounded alot like what I am seeing now after this Iranian election – but it was ‘orange’ instead of ‘green’.

     Their solid ‘proof’ of the fraudulant Ukrainian election? The exit polls!!!!

     Hypocrites!

     [...] It may be wrong to single out Americans here, since there is every likelihood, given the current geopolitical context, that Israeli Twitter users (among the heaviest Twitter users one can find) have a vested interest in manipulating the discussion to serve the ends of the Israeli state, as do many Americans. One thing to do is to try to foment a division between Iran and Hezbollah, thus one posted: “large number of armed forces are lebanese/arab hired to beat down the brave iranians” — completely without substance. Another Twitter use to I spoke to chose to quote the Talmud to the Iranian protesters. Interestingly, the Jerusalem Post was immediately “aware” of three “Iranian” bloggers (who post only in English), almost as soon as they joined, claiming without support that their Twitter feeds were from Iran (see here and here).

     The furor with which so many of you are “supporting the people of Iran” in their demonstrations is worrisome. Not because you stand in solidarity with their beliefs, though many of you are clearly misreading what those beliefs are (Mousavi supporters aren’t looking for a regime change, nor to bring the Islamic Republic crashing down) — I sympathize with the fact that they feel they were cheated out of the man they voted as their President, as well — but what about the millions who voted for Ahmadinejad? I speak, of course, of the working class. It seems as though many of you could not care less about what they think, since they didn’t vote for “your man”, Iranian sovereignty be damned. Even more troubling is that for all the fretting that is done and outrage expressed over images of riot police and Basij militia assaulting protesters (and vice versa), I can’t help but feel that most of you want the violence to continue, in a twisted disconnect from reality, as if those Mousavi supporters and the others involved aren’t real people, but merely symbols of a push for Western liberalism. I assure you, as anyone else who isn’t so blinded by bias can, no such movement exists in Iran in any great strength, and that is not what Mousavi’s support base wants of the Islamic Republic. Think about what you’re seeing, that is, what you yourself WANT to see when you view those striking pictures of the peaceful street demonstrations and the violent riots, and when you read what you assume to be facts in evidence.

     US funds terror groups to sow chaos in Iran –America is secretly funding militant ethnic separatist groups in Iran in an attempt to pile pressure on the government. 25 Feb 2007 CIA officials are understood to be helping opposition militias among the numerous ethnic minority groups clustered in Iran’s border regions. The operations are controversial because they involve dealing with movements that resort to terrorist methods terrorists in pursuit of their grievances against the Iranian regime. In the past year there has been a wave of unrest in ethnic minority border areas of Iran, with bombing and assassination campaigns against soldiers and government officials… Funding for their separatist causes comes directly from the CIA’s classified budget but is now “no great secret”, according to one former high-ranking CIA official in Washington who spoke anonymously to The Sunday Telegraph. –Let’s see. If Iran ‘dealt with movements that resorted to terrorist methods’ against the US, the US would have declared war on Iran in what, five pico-seconds? And, LieberBush/Boner (Boehner) would be yelping for Obama’s impeachment because five pico-seconds would not be quick enough. –Lori Price

     1) people create new accounts when they have existing accounts whose reputation they don’t want associated with political activity;
     2) people change their avatars in solidarity with a cause, so a bunch of accounts with the same avatar means very little
     3) people connecting to twitter that don’t show up on alexa as being from Iran means that, like most people making liberal use of the net from inside Iran, they are using proxies
     4) jpost, which I personally keep an eye on just as opposition research, has reason to notice these accounts as they were responsible for the tags being propagated and were widely retweeted. That they were huge on twitter wasn’t news to people on twitter. Maybe because jpost is more interested in middle east affairs and watching at something closer to Iran’s time zone has more to do with it? I’m not sure much mainstream media outside the US pays much attention to English language twitter
     which brings me to…
     5) They twitter in English because it’s the lingua franca of twitter, and they are trying to organize support and sympathy and notice from outside their own country. How many international journalists are likely to read Farsi? Now, how many international journalists are likely to read English?

And why wouldn’t they have similar icons if they created the accounts to fill everyone in about it? None of us know what’s happening, but I’m just saying…

     I was surprised to find a site of CNN online which actually gave some information about the background of the so-called “reformist” candidate.
     After reading that article and looking up additional info online about his tenure as Prime Minister…have come to the conclusion that it might be a matter of choosing the “lesser of 2 evils”.

     http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/06/15/iran.elections.analysis/

     He, like most Iranians in power, does not believe in the existence of Israel. He defended the taking of hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Iran in 1979, which led to the break in ties between the countries.

     He was part of a regime that regularly executed (thousands) of dissidents and backed the fatwa against British author Salman Rushdie.

     And as late as April, he opposed suspending the country’s nuclear-enrichment program but said it would not be diverted to weapons use.

     Moussavi was named prime minister in 1980. A year earlier, Iran had become an Islamic republic after the ruling monarchy was overthrown and Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was forced into exile.

     The same year, a group of students in support of the Islamic revolution took 52 Americans hostage and held them for 444 days.

     In an interview with The New York Times in 1981, Moussavi defended the hostage-taking as the beginning of “second stage of our revolution.”

     “It was after this that we rediscovered our true Islamic identity,” he said.

     The incident, Moussavi added, ended the “problem of pro-American circles and their following in Iran.

     “After this, we felt the sense that we could look Western policy in the eye and analyze it the way they had been evaluating us for many years.”

     In 1988, author Salman Rushdie released his fourth novel, ‘The Satanic Verses,’ which Iran said insulted Islam. The country’s supreme leader called for the death of Rushdie. And Moussavi, in a radio broadcast, said the order would be carried out.

     The Iranian government arrests and sometimes murders political dissidents. It so tries to control behavior that women can be arrested for not covering their hair sufficiently or for walking holding hands with a boy friend. Half of the population is under 30. Do you really think they need the Israelis to prompt them to hate government intrusion into their lives? I don’t care if you are half-Jewish, your comments are the worst sort of Jew-baiting and I’m horrified that this kind of sick attitude has become more prevelant on the left; it used to only be the province of fascists and Nazis.

     Commentary by Umar al-Ghul in Palestinian Al-Hayat al-Jadidah
     The Ahmadinejad-Khamenei Iran – despite the celebrations following the forgeries of the elections – is heading to oblivion and without any direction. It would not be any exaggeration at all to say that the ayatollah’s regime has lost its legitimacy among the Iranian people, which opens the way for the possibility of great changes in the near future.

     Commentary by Khalid al-Kharrub in Palestinian Al-Ayyam
     The Palestinians have no reason to be naively happy about the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. On the contrary, there are objective reasons to feel the opposite. The fact that he would be in power in Tehran for four more years would only add to the marginalisation of the Palestinians and the Palestinian cause.

     Commentary by Batir Wurdam in Jordan’s Al-Dustur
     In case the ruling elite in Iran is able to set President Ahmadinejad for another term, change is inevitably coming. It is the natural result for social, cultural and economic changes the regime can no longer resist with traditional means.

     Michael, her question was ‘How popular is Twitter over there?’ – The Haaretz article was proof of popularity to be used as a political tool – which is chartingstocks ‘theory’.
     It is not proof that chartingstocks theory is true – but proof to show it is popular – which WAS HER QUESTION being addressed by me.

     Why are you threatened by facts?

     As for your race-baiting and hypocritical comments about ‘conspiracies’ which have nothing to do with any of my posts – since I have not committed to any belief in truth of chartingstocks theory – but only pointed out hypocracy in those attacking him:

     “People who see Communists or Jews under every bed ARE conspiracy theorists, or worse.” – Michael

     Your rantings and others on here are also ‘theories’ which are conspiracy, including anti-Persian racist comments (which, using your logic, would be the conclusion based on criticism of some Persian people in Iran rigging elections). Using your reasoning in calling anyone a racist who questions anything about a certain country – why do you espouse racism towards Persian people by claiming some Persians have rigged an election? Your anti-Persianism is racist.

     I don’t care who is right about the Tweeter stuff or whether the election was rigged – I do care about people using duplicitous logic to attack people. People that do this are either brainwashed or are liars.

I wasn’t so convinced about Israels involvement, but in retrospect, it makes perfect sense. They’ve been trying to hurt Iran for a very long time.

     In some ways, i’d say it has backfired. As the impeccable behaviour of the rioting youth of Iran puts the Israelis to shame.
     Could you ever imagine them helping a fallen palestinian the way that the rioters have been helping riot police? It’s the ultimate proof that Israel is a cancer, and should be destroyed.

Please point out where I backed ANY regime in any country. You can’t, which proves your comment is ‘illogical’, regardless of all the great things you declare in your post.

     I have no opinion on the ‘rigging’ of elections in Iran or use of Twitter – I admit – I don’t know. My only opinion was that megaphone was being used on this site to smear chartingstocks. You can argue that opinion – but I have given NO opinions about the regimes involved or Twitter. Therefore, your prior comments about backing a certain regime are baseless and without logic.
     I have only pointed to the fact there are contradictions in comments placed on this board.

     And continuing to use double standards in your thoughts (like – your theories about some Persians fixing an election = not racist, but – chartingstocks theories about some Israelis are Twittering = racist) proves you are illogical. Either stop calling people racist who think the latter or you are also a racist for the former. If you refuse to see this, then you are illogical. (I think I will change my name the Spock )

Beware, for when you ask for external help, or start playing in external hands, bad things happen. Iraqis apparently asked USA to grant them freedom, look where they are stuck now. So please, while you go on with your struggle, beware and never let any external hand dictate your role, or make you play by the emotion. Twitter apparently played a huge role in emotionally agitating the Iranians. It might lead to even more stability now. Once again, best of luck with your aims and ambitions, but all the same, be careful of the “external powers” that may seem too overly friendly at times, but can bite back real sharp when the times change.Peace

     Funny, how a website/forum/person/party suddenly starts representing not “more than a fragment of outside opinion” the moment it decides to report anything against Israel.

     Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Me and some other Iranian expats in the UK are very concerned that stuff like Twitter is being used to send out false information.

     The issue here – with Twitter, I mean – isn’t who is right and wrong inside Iran, it’s the fact that a completely anonymous, unverifiable service is being used to cover some important events. There is no way to do any fact checking and it is perfect for anyone looking to distort the outside world’s perception of what is going on.

     For example, I could say my whole family have been shot in Shiraz by the government militia. How would you know if that was true or false? How would you even know I was in Shiraz, Iran, when Twitter doesn’t publish IP addresses?

     1. Do you really think they’d use their personal twitter accounts to illegally exchange important information and to keep the world updated on that particular topic?
     2. Do you really think a couple of 140 character posts would be enough to manage that, with news and plans coming in every minute?
     3. Do you really think they’d be up for chats about any other topic than #IranElection?
     4. Do you really think they’d expect concerned people all over the world to know FARSI?
     5. Do you really think it’s suspicious that they showed their common cause by using the same profile photo, like many other people all over twitter, facebook, etc?
     6. Do you really think they’d have any time for making friends while being busy fighting for basic human rights?

     (repeated from above)

     Why did they run a story about 3 people who just joined twitter? “…part of an online documentation of Iranians’ reaction” does not explain why it was newsworthy to promote the profiles of 3 twitter members who just joined the site.

     How did they find out about them so fast?

     How were they sure that the profiles were authentic? These profiles were only hours old and had no names attached to them. They had no time to verify that these were, indeed, Iranian students.

     And the latest:
     Why did they remove the evidence if my allegations were so ridiculous?

     [Updated Question] Ask yourself: Did JPost simply supply their readers with fair/unbiased twitter sources with names like @StopAhmadi @IranRiggedElect @Change_For_Iran?? Just look at the names of these “Students.” Iran_Rigged_election (before the first allegations of a rigged election even surfaced)? The 3 profile names ALONE is proof that JPost had an agenda.

In response: 1. understood but my argument is that twitter has a near zero penetration in Iran. they dont use it. 2. the avatar thing is true and not the center of my argument 3. so these are tech savvy, english speaking iranian students interested in getting the word out to US, of all people? the country that already destabilized and caused a coup?? 4. but those 3 peole JUST JOINED..hours earlier..and since this post, JPost removed the evidence..covering their tracks..how could they know that these were truly Iranian students?? not possible 5. THE LAST PEOPLE on earth that Iranians want to “Organize support” from is America. Not only do we have a terrible history there, dont forget we invaded an occupy 2 countries on BOTH sides of their borders. I think you bring up valid points but the basis of my argument is that WE, the US, are being marketed to ..this is a campaign aimed at us…which traces back to JPost, a newspaper which advocates aggression in Iran…ASK YOURSELF..what of the free (and monitored) democratic election in Gaza? Wheres our outrage over the winners of their election??

     Iran, Again: Begging for a Smell Test…and it ain’t passing

     Okay, I’ve been trying very hard to ignore the latest on Iran: Roxana’s highly publicized and dubious adventure (begging for a smell test), the pre-elections predictions making their way even onto the Sunday Talk Shows (A great Smell Test Indicator), and of course now, the intense and loud coverage of the post elections drama (The Smelliest of Alll)…

     Why would I try to ignore this? Not because I am not interested in Iran, Iran Politics, or Iranians. Hey, I lived there for eight years. I speak Farsi as my second language. I had my primary education there. My Father is half Iranian, and through him, his family and friends, and his activities, I grew up with ‘lots of Iran politics’, not only in talk but in actual life. I witnessed the revolution unfold in 1978-79. In fact, along with my father, I participated in some demonstrations as an eight year old kid whose father was interrogated and tortured by the ruthless monarch, Shah. Contrary to what the US government has led citizens here to wrongly believe, the regime change in Iran did not occur through only Islamists. In the beginning, the liberals, the social democrats, the communists, socialists…many factions came together, united to get rid of the US-UK planted monarchy.

     Some unusual comments. Iranians are apparently so scared of the secret police that they set up anonymous accounts to give the secret police (and us) photographic evidence of every anti-government action. Hmmmm. It’s often difficult to see what we’re looking at. Mousevi was heavily involved in Iran-Contra, so it helps to go back to the CIA’s Contra manual – Wikipedia has the link at

     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_Operations_in_Guerrilla_Warfare

     In Section 5, it states 200-300 activists can easily create a demonstration of 10,000 to 20,000 people. The organisers take great pains to protect themselves, and aim to make the twitterers, “the innocent and the gullible” suffer the violence. The shock troops march slightly behind the innocents, then lunge forward suddenly, attack, and escape. Again and again in the films from Iran, there seems no reason for the violence. Men in leather jackets suddenly enter the frame from the left, whip out tire irons, and smash a car’s windscreen or whatever. In a genuine uprising, the crowd develops its own momentum. Not here. As the Manual says, the aim is to develop “a small group of guerrillas infiltrated within the masses, who will have the mission of agitating, giving the impression that there are many of them and that they have popular backing”. No doubt “the innocent and the gullible” are genuinely sharing their experiences. But they’re just pawns in the game. The more they’re beaten up, the better. Thanks for identifying some of the murky figures in the background.

     The Nation magazine and the Iranian election
     By Joe Kishore
     16 June 2009

     The Nation magazine, the voice of left-liberal supporters of Obama, has quickly weighed in to support charges of vote-rigging and a “coup d’état” in Iran. The magazine has also given its full support to the candidacy of Mirhossein Mousavi, the principal rival of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

     In doing so, the Nation is joining hands with the rest of the American media, which has abandoned any pretense of journalistic objectivity in reporting the election. The allegations of fraud have been repeated without any independent investigation.

     It looks like the BBC was cropping photos to make a rally for Ahmadinejad look like a rally for Mousavi (They claim it was an accident – but only after a ‘chartingstock’-type blogger pointed it out). Also, in comment 8 of this article, a poster found a picture for an Ahmadinejad appearance at a soccer rally posted on The Atlantic (Andrew Sullivans blog?) as a rally for Mousavi.

     http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2009/06/what_really_happened.html

     The more evidence I see like chartingstocks and these deceptive use of photos for western consumption – the more I feel we are being conditioned to back a coup in Iran. There would be no love lost for Ahmadinejad or the Mullahs from me, but what would the Iranians get in their place? If history is a lesson (1953), and the alleged rigged election and potential coup are outside influences – then the Iranian people are out of the frying pan and into the fire. As for the guys that found these deceptive photos and chartingstock here, keep up
     the great work – we along w/ most in the world only want the truth.

     The talk of freedom and looking to Europe is a truly Emperor New Clothes affair for most of Europe still hold onto their clerical laws of the past. The Protestant simply snitched the Roman Catholics law, and in many ways enforced them, resulting that in such countries as Norway and Sweden more ”Witches” were burned than even in Roman Catholic countries. Germany put Ernst Zundel in jail for violation the Medieval law, in fact lifted directly from the Jewish Old Testament, namely ”defaming the dead.” The same law exist in Sweden and such countries as Norway still have verbatim the old ”blasphemy law.” So does England. Sweden put independent writer Ditlieb Felderer under torture and jail for ONE MERE cartoon. All his research were stolen by the Swedish paramilitary police and all charges were made up by the pseudo-presecutor, Torsten Jonsson, who in Star Chamber Court way made up his own charges without one accusation from the citizens. It is indeed amazing that people supposedly being involved with universities in Iran does not know about these facts. Ditlieb Felderer has claimed that there are good reasons for that the German Government assassinated his mother. The Swedish Government tried to kill Felderer’s Philippine wife, and attempted to assassinate Ditlieb Felderer several times, including arson attempts. Felderer lives now in exile. On his blog: ditliebfelderer.blogspot.com there is a special section dealing on Freedom of Speech and there you will see that everything regards to this is rigged in Europe, and of course Sweden. Manipulations is the going thing in Europe. There is not one election in Europe that is run honestly. Endless of books have been written about this, with each one attempting to cure it, but corruption only continues. In many European countries a politician is the same as a thief, assassin, manipulator, con man. Many people don’t vote because they know everything is rigged. At a recent election one country mustered not more than 15% participation. Where we live, only some 20% voted, partly due to that most of the politicians are up for fraud. Hence all these aspirations of ”freedom” is silly. The only freedom worth while is Descartes: Conquer yourself rather than the world! This goes contrary to Israel, USA, and Medieval Europe run ideology, but it saves a lot of frustration and the knowing that it is but a Pie in the Sky wish which will never materialize. To make a ”free Iran” through Medieval Europe, or Israeli run USA, is nothing but those idealistic hopes so well presented in George Orwell’s ANIMAL FARM, where the pig Napoleon is in charge with falsifications and manipulations for his own power. Seeing that Europe persists on holding onto their clerical laws, now in the year of 2009, is full assurance of that ”freedom” will never come except for that of the Oligarchs. Those truly interested with Free Speech should turn to the above Blog, for there are people who have been involved with this issue most of their life and not only on a cursory manner. George Orwell put it well: Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Since you refute no evidence here with facts of your own about chartingstocks theory, it is assumed you believe calling something or someone a ‘conspiracy theorist’ is evidence enough to show something as false. Using this logic – you would have to call your belief in the ‘rigged’ elections untrue because IT IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY! Again, for those that are poor on logical thought – these 3 posters are either brainwashed (believing 2 contradictory things at the same time) or are liars.

     The real masterminds behind Iranian unrest
     Ethel C. Fenig
     You know who is really behind the unrest, the shootings, the rioting crowds in Iran don’t you? According to Parisa Hafezi and Fredrik Dahl of Reuters

     Ahmadinejad meanwhile accused the United States and Britain of interfering in Iran’s affairs.

     “I advise you (the United States and Britain) to correct your interfering stances,” Ahmadinejad was quoted by ISNA news agency as saying at a meeting with clerics and scholars.

     But Israel National News’ Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu reveals the real culprits behind the accusations against Iran, the real string pullers of the US and European opposition to Iran.

     Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s top Muslim leader, accused “dirty Zionists” and “Zionist media” for being behind charges that the results of the election were rigged.

     One of the families benefiting from the foreign trade system was the Asgaroladis, an old Jewish clan of bazaar traders, who converted to Islam several generations ago. Asadollah Asgaroladi exports pistachios, cumin, dried fruit, shrimp and caviar, and imports sugar and home appliances; his fortune is estimated by Iranian bankers to be some $400 million.

     Asgaroladi had a little help from his older brother, Habibollah, who, as minister of commerce in the 1980s, was in charge of distributing lucrative foreign-trade licenses. (He was also a counterparty to commodities trader and then-fugitive Marc Rich, who helped Iran bypass U.S.-backed sanctions.)

     Mark, that is just not true. 1. according to the UN charter land can NOT be “Won.” Land acquired through military force is not recognized and the reason why the entire world views Israel’s borders within pre-1967 lines. The UN votes to that effect every single year, and the vote is never close. Something like 160 nations to 3 (US the key out of the 3). 2. The ‘67 war was a war of Israeli aggression (that’s not even disputed anymore). 3. Even in 1948, Israel gained control by what we would call today Terrorism. Real about the Stern Gang, the bombings, etc. 4. I would caution you in using the blanket work -”Arabs.” It was the Arab countries that gave refuge to many jews who fled the Nazi’s in WW2. My own family found refuge in an “Arab” country during that time. Yes, I think Israel has a “right to exist” but within the internationally recognized borders of ‘67.

     The same logic that blames the six day war and the suez war on Israel is used to blame Israel for the Gaza war. All of these were defensive wars on Israel’s part to stop aggressive actions aimed at Israel by Arab states.

     As far as respecting the U.N mandates Israel has given back much that they had won, Suez, the Sinai Gaza but they have been unwilling to trade their security for land. A simple recognition of the state of Israel by the Arab states in the region today and in 1947 will /would have put an end to the violence.

     What you’ve laid out here is nothing more than a conspiracy theory with no basis in truth. What you claim is happening is possible but unlikely, while at the same time, what is actually happening is more than possible and very likely. I’m not going to debate each point you tried to make because to the rest of the world, it makes sense that everything happened just the way it did. Your question of JPost’s motiviation for publishing their article is a good one. Now, I have to ask you, what in the heck is your motivation? This is ridiculous that you would seek to tear something down without a strong motivation to do so. Your credibility is so transparent, it is pathetic. You have insulted the intelligence of every one who reads this.

Who was really behind all these. We must look for patterns and it is same all there. As far as english is concerned, most of you don’t know that majority of Iranians, even the elite doean’t know english and this is my personal experience, even in Tehran. Without a certain conspiracy to do so, its not possible to have few thousand accounts created in a same time, all being friends together with same picture. It’s just rubbish to claim so. No one tried to negate the Israeli connection here, which speaks a lot. Nobody cared to reply about the pre-poll survey by US and European NGO’s yielding the same results. Good article indeed.

     Now I’m thinking how this will be taken to the next level when they start to use (if they are not doing this already) Artificial Intelligence connected with thousands of fake twitter accounts. Can you imagine that? Some creepy AI software (search for “PROMIS” on Google) flooding twitter with messages intended to make people think in a certain way…way more effective than TV, and cheaper too. THAT is their final intention, I bet: create some kind of Hive Mind orchestrated through AI. Take care!

A newspaper, supposed to do so because they share the interests of the “spammers”. It’s not true, at least one danish newspaper have run stories about one or more of the twitters. And why should JPost highlight itself in relation to its own “agents”? Naaah

     The day will soon dawn when all those evil Ayatollah’s together with many of their evil Immam’s aswell as Ahmadinejad the president of the islamic republic of Iran, will all be hanged from those very cranes where they have hanged defenceless men women and some teens on trumped up charges. They call themselves democratic, they have sytematically singled out all minority groups in Iran for special treatment ie. abuse torture and death. The arab minority has suffered, the Kurdish minority, the Jewish minority on trumped up charges for spying for israel, the Bahais, the Zoastrians, and I could still go on. This evil regime of Iran which established itself in 1979 after toppling the Shah of Iran is the worst most vilest regime that ever ruled Persia. They are holocaust deniers, they threaten the very existence of a member state of the UN every day ie. ‘The State of Israel’ they recommend that all the Jews of Israel should be placed in europe or north America, even Alaska, as they are not part of the middle eastern people and are not Muslims. Well over 60% of the Jewish population are the same jews and their descendants whom were kicked out of all the arab lands in the late 1940s-50s right upto the 1970s. their original population in those arab lands was just under 1,000,000. The jewish refugees made homeless stateless and destitute by those arab regimes in revenge for not being able to destroy the newly fledgling state of Israel in may 1948, outnumbered those arab refugees from the former British Mandate of Palestine by almost two to one, however to date no one cares about the parallel problem of the Jewish refugees of the arab lands, they are only concerned with those arab refugees who untill 1964 never even considered themselves as palestinian arabs, that phrase was coined by the late Yasser Arafat himself as a propaganda ploy to counter Zionism. (Zionism means a return to Zion) which inturn is a mountain which is situated south west of the city of Jerusalem. jews have always prayed facing east to the city of Jerusalem, for 19 years the eastern sector of the city of jerusalem encompassing the (Kottel) (llast remaining wall of the second temple destroyed by the romans in AD 70.) was cut off by the Jordanians during the war of independence in May 1948. Under the terms of the armistice agreement signed in Rhodes on 24th February 1949 all Israeli jews aswell as jews worldwide were to be allowed to enter the eastern sector of jerusalem to pray at the wall, however the Jordanians abrogated that agrrement, therefore it would be another 19 years till the re-unifiacation of the whole of jerusalem tok place after the six day war. The muslims never pray towards jerusalem, they pray and always did so towards Mecca.

     Can I just say what a relief to discover somebody who genuinely knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You truly know how to bring an difficulty to light and make it important. Additional persons have to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant consider youre not more well-known mainly because you truly have the gift.

     I think “I know what you’re talking about” statement is actually real and true. What is the media? To simplify the meaning of it, it gives a fact and true information to the public. Twitter is messing up the lives of thousands of people and it causes a lot of dent to it. False News from the internet is rampant nowadays. We should use our real names in using our Twitter account in order that wrong assumptions from other people will not take place.  And a question from my mind would arise.  Did the Iranian people made their nasty election so fraud and unreal that they proclaimed it to the world or maybe their enemies are the brain to all of these?

     Israel wants to be the regional power in Middle East and this is the main reason US is now in Iraq.

     This is geopolitics. A country which is a regional power influence all countries in the region and to some extend controls the area.

     Saddam was too big of competitor for Israel, that’s why US has attached Iraq.

     Now Iran is becoming to powerful and US will attack Iran on behalf of Israel in the next few years. We might then attack Syria or Turkey or any other country in the region who question Israel’s hegemony in the ME.

     i consider it was a bit rushed, and not noted some options that not many individuals discuss about. Everybody knows that almost all new smartphones have internet, so why show that fundamental function at its bear minimum. Scroll up scroll down zoom in zoom out. Actually? which new phone doesnt do this? How bout speak about how the textual content rearranges itsself. Additionally the texting, very poor review. Why didnt you point out you need to use the mic and text with your voice? Ignored ALOT of different more essential options
