Honesty = Islam? That's a good one. Is that sign that woman is holding up meant to be a joke? Honesty = Islam? That’s a good one.

I posted the reformists <a href="http://emsenn.com/iran.php" rel="nofollow">7 point manifesto</a> on the <a href="http://sweetness-light.com/archive/selected-news-for-week-jun-13-jun-19#comment-150812" rel="nofollow">weekly news thread</a>; it's apparently being passed out to all protesters and has been circulating through twitter with requests that it be shown to Americans because the MSM won't pick it up making this officially a war of information. The manifesto includes that radical Supreme Ayatollah Khamenei be deposed and pro-women's rights, pro-reform Ayatollah Monazeri replace him and Mousavi assume the presidency until the constitution can be reworked. They're after the whole thing. This is raw and pure freedom uniting people in that country of all walks of life and ideologies, much like the American Revolution. The Iranian government is employing mercenaries of the formerly defeated Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah to attack civilians because the Bajir Militia which supports Ahmadi have had their HQ burned and police are siding with protesters. It's the most awe-inspiring thing I've had the fortune of witnessing in my young life, the story is being told in a completely unheard of way, and this energy needs to be captured world wide because the chess-pieces are already in motion for the new soviet iron fist to rear its ugly head once again.

For me that's a separate issue from who won the election, because the more I read, the more I doubt Moussavi's victory; and he doesn't sound like a Boy Scout. What's clear, though, in any case, is that the people in Teheran want the mullahs to loosen their grip on power and they want less state control of their lives. My hunch is that they want those things but a lot of people in Iran also want Ahmadinejad to be their president. So we're in a catch 22.

And to think we still haven't determined the Senatorial contest in Minnesota. Maybe we should sub-contract that job out to the Iranians at cost-plus-10%. …..”Given that they counted the original vote – which were 40 millions paper ballots – within a couple of hours….”
