    Reports from the TV are stating that a Massacre of Election Protesters is taking place.

    The Government is now murdering the protesters in the street and using massive force to end the protest,

    There are reports of another brutal crackdown in Iran, with websites, internet bloggers and eyewitnesses all talking of a bloodbath in Tehran.

    The reports suggest thousands of police and pro-government militia have used firearms, clubs and teargas to suppress another opposition rally.

    There is even one account of a nine-year-old girl being shot.

    And in other news everywherelsewhere people also agree that they don't want the United States to further interfere with their affairs, while most USAmericans, led by infotainment, still don't get it.

    Iran, undoubtedly is taking steps to avoid scenarios (civil unrest) we have seen wherever the US has interfered. See, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Georgia, Somalia, etc. The CIA & Co. has been and still is, hard at work under the surface of what we see. Ahmadinejad understands that only to clearly hence the "elected" government is taking the necessary steps to retain civil order.

    The Western Media, as can be expected, has jumped on the bandwagon and somehow, has concluded, (without a shred of evidence) that the elections were fraudulent and are hyping the injustice of a crackdown on civil unrest.

    "Then why are the protest signs in English? "

    They want us to get it. They're patriots, world citizens, and optimists, Buffy.

    Ahmadinejad's strategy is to deflect blame about the election and crackdown against peaceful protestors by making this about the US. Obama is trying not to fall into this trap, but Ahmadinejad is now making up bald faced lies about US involvement. I think we may be looking at the beginning of a defacto military coup led by Ahmadinejad and supported by loyalists from the revolutionary guard that he's put in many key positions.

    Nobody believes either government now, which means we're finally getting somewhere, at a bloody and life-wrecking price. Tehranis have a Cause now, which means that a regional turning-point is here again. Change? Yes, they can. Hope? That too. Watch 'em.

    Exactly the opposite. We are seeing an Obama/Western Media coup distorting the election.

    The election will continue to recede in relevance, along with the USA. Don't think for a second that the Shi'a underdogs and desert foxes all around the Gulf Between aren't perking up their keen ears. This is a major shift in the winds.

    Don't be stupid and don't twist the meaning of my posts. I didn`t say anything about the media, be it american, european, or middle eastern - all of them reporting pretty much the same things and none of it being germaine to my post.

    No problem. Its just that your statement above reflects the standard Western media POV.

    There is quite a bit of evidence, mostly statistical but persuasive, that the vote counting has been tampered with.

    And the injustice of a crackdown on protesters of this very odd vote counting is no surprising theme.

    Unimaginable Horror In Tehran Today
    Iran has executed its Tiananmen Square. Baharestan Square has become synonymous with barbarity, cruelty, massacre and inhumanity.

    An Iranian blogger (whose URL I will not publish) live blogging from Baharestan Square in central Tehran today captures but brief glimpses of the unimaginable horror that took place today. Bus loads of protesters were stopped and unloaded from their buses by "black-clad police" and literally herded. When the massing was sufficient, as the barely controllably distraught Tehran caller to CNN described first hand, hundreds of the regime's Basij thugs poured out of an adjoining mosque and commenced a massacre with axes, clubs, guns and gas.

    From the live blogger's eyewitness account:

    >More than 10.000 Bassij Milittias get position in Central Tehran, including Baharestan Sq.
    >Army Helycopters flying over Baharestan and Vali Asr Sq.
    >The streets, squares and around BAHARESTAN (Approx. South-eastern of Tehran) is swarming with military forces, civilian forces, the security motorists
    >The croud have moved to the south of baharestan, the situation is bad, the shooting has started
    >In Baharestan Sq. in the Police shooting, A girl is shot and the police is not allowing to let them help
    >In Baharestan we saw militia with axe choping people like meat - blood everywhere - like butcher

    This is the Iranian regime, wading into its own unarmed people and axing them to death, bludgeoning women (seen as the greatest threat to the regime) and throwing them to their deaths from pedestrian bridges. The same Iranian regime whose embassy officials are invited to American embassies around the world to celebrate on July 4th, of all things, a successful revolution.---------------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This frantic phone call from a Tehran woman will break your heart as you consider our standard response has been "that there are sets of international norms and principles about violence" and that "the international community is watching." Part of yesterday's response by President Obama in a press conference included "that there is a peaceful path that will lead to stability and legitimacy (of the Iranian regime) and prosperity for the Iranian people. We hope they take it." The Iranian theocratic regime clearly is not interested.




    This was a brutal murder of an assuredly unarmed protester of the up-close-and-personal variety. An act, and one not isolated, which requires the presence of inhumane malice and aggression and the absence of humanity.

    Moderator warning: the following link shows a graphic image of a dead body. Some viewers may find the image disturbing.

    http://threatswatch.org/rapidrecon/images/posted/axe-wound.jpg

    The traits required for massacres upon the unarmed. There is no nuance, no logical approach, no deft explanation that covers near silence and inadequate, tepid condemnation of the meekest sort. To decline any mention of possible repercussions on the regime for these acts "because we don't know how this is going to turn out" is moral cowardice of the highest order. Look at the picture above and listen to the frantic woman calling in to CNN again. They seem to "know how this is going to turn out."

    There is a way to condemn a regime axing its citizens in the streets of Tehran and other cities across Iran without "making this about the US." You, and our president, are intelligent men and women and lacking no gifts of speech and prose. Find what's missing. Each of you frustrate and sadden me. Argue your eloquent points elsewhere. My ears are deaf as of now.

    I am really interested in seeing where this will go.

    I have a feeling the protests will slowly die out and the world will forget about this in a month... but who knows?

    Madant blames Carter for "losing" Iran in the first place. While refusing to elaborate on what he thought Carter should have done instead. Since he is a fan of Reagan, I guess he thinks Carter should have traded weapons for the release of the hostages.

    It would have helped to not topple the democratically elected Mossadegh, maybe. Also the installation of the dictator Shah and his torture squad [trained by CIA and Mossad] could have been avoided. Was there any call for "helping the people of Iran" when the Shah was torturing and killing them?
