Analysis of the Results of the Presidential Elections (Part3)
Manufactured results?
Taking as one example, the results of the 2009 presidential elections for the province of Lorestan, broken down to the individual ballot boxes, an amazing pattern emerges. In126 out of 1212 ballot boxes the total figures are seemingly rounded to the multiples of hundred. That is to say, there are 21 ballot boxes with exactly 700 votes. Another 20 have 800 votes and a further 14 contain 900 whilst six other ballot boxes having exactly 1500 votes.
This pattern of "rounded" vote counts happens in more than 10 percent of the ballot boxes in Lorestan province, a highly improbable statistical occurrence. If we consider a statistically probable figure (for a randomly generated set of figures for the votes per ballot box) the probability of encountering numbers in multiples of 100 falls well below 1%. Now, compare this to the totals for the ballot boxes outside of Iran where we find none of the 69 corresponding ballot boxes totals being a multiple of 100 ( rounded figures as for Lorestan).
As a conclusion, it can be said that either the citizen in Lorestan cast their votes in groups of 100 individuals, which seems remote from reality or there is strong evidence that the figures have been created artificially.
Conclusion
Taking all above mentioned fact and figures into account we conclude that the 2009 elections were
• Neither free not fair
• Extremely manipulated
• The alleged turnout figure have been, with a high degree of confidence, plainly manufactured
.
Unfortunately I can not copy and paste the diagrams.
F-se! Analysis of the Results of the Presidential Elections (Part2)
The abuse of government and public resources for the propaganda in favor of Mr. Ahamdinejad was widely reported. The partisan support of the national radio and TV broadcasting organization in favor of Ahamdinejad continued until the last moments of the election campaign.
The abuse of government and public resources for the purpose of propaganda favoring Mr. Ahamdinejad was widely reported. The partisan support of the national radio and TV broadcasting organization in favor of Ahamdinejad continued until the last moments of the election campaign.
Support by Supreme Leader
Ahamdinejad repeatedly enjoyed the support of supreme leader and the high ranking officers of the Revolutionary Guards both of which are legally forbidden.
This propaganda was over and above the repeatedly publicized support of Ahmadinejad by the Supreme Leader as well as the high ranking officers of the Revolutionary Guards. Interestingly, all such actions are forbidden under the election regulation of the IRI.
Irregularities
Admission card for representatives of candidates:
The ministries of interior staff refused or hesitated to issue admission cards for the representative of the candidates which would have allowed them access the ballot collection sites.
In one stated case, the election management staff of Mr. Karoubi asked for 3100 admission cards for its representatives overseeing the polling procedure in ballot centers in Teheran. Only a few of them received the admission card on time .
In the case of the candidate Mr. Mousavi his request for the issuance of admission cards for his representatives was either neglected or the cards were issued with the wrong names. In a large number of cases, the pictures of female representatives were attached to the cards of their male colleagues and vice versa thus denying them access to the polling stations. Furthermore it was reported that in numerous cases the admission cards of the observers for one candidate were sent to the observers of another creating a confusing situation which was never resolved due to the shortage of time until the start day of the elections.
Polling Coupons, Amassed but not Available
Although the national registration office had announced the number of citizens eligible to vote in the presidential elections as 46,200,000, the government amassed 59,600,000 ballots. An additional 2.5 million coupons had been printed without any serial numbers , .
Amazingly in spite of this fact, a shortage of electoral coupons was observed in many regions of the country including Tabriz, Shiraz and North- West- and East-Teheran in the first hours of the polling.
Voting and Counting
According to the election law the ballot boxes have to be inspected prior to the being sealed by the representatives of the candidates. This indispensable requirement was not fulfilled in the majority of the polling stations. Thus thousands of the representatives of Mr. Mousavi were not allowed to fulfill their most important role as observers. According to Mr. Mousavi, in many cases the number of the admission cards allocated to his representatives did not correspond with the number of ballot boxes to be inspected so the access by thousands of his observers was denied in this manner as well .
The total number of mobile ballot boxes was remarkably high at 14,000 , . These were used even in locations where the distance to the standing ballot boxes was some ten meters. The vast majority of the mobile ballot boxes were not observed by the candidates’ representatives opening the door for further fraud.
According to Mr. Mousavi, the representatives of the candidates were not allowed to participate in the procedure of registering the results of counting at the majority of the ballot boxes, thus denying them any possibility to verify the results.
Finally, in order to disturb the communication between the representatives with their centers, the short message service (SMS) as the only means for their communication was interrupted in the entire country.
All three candidates, Mr. Mousavi, Mr. Karoubi and Mr. Rezai have announced that they do not have any hint how the final count of the votes was calculated with the total absence of any representatives on behalf of the candidates. Apparently, this final decision was made in a room inside the interior ministry in the presence of the Minister, Mr. Mahsouli, and Mr. Daneshjou, the head of the elections office plus a third unknown person.
At those few sites where the representatives of the candidates were allowed to act as observers, there was absolutely no correspondence between the reported results by the observers and those published officially .
Discussion and comparison of the results
The turn out of over 100%
According to a conservative candidate Mr. Rezai, in 170 cities the percentages of voters reached 100% and more. Meanwhile in a broadcast by the Second Channel of the state TV, the spokesman of Guardian Council confirmed the same outcome but only for 50 cities. The officially data published by the institutes of the IRI indicate that in two provinces Yazd and Mazandaran the turnout was higher than 100% and four more provinces around 95% .
At least in the following 40 cities across the country the total turnout figures are between 100% and 140%:
Taft 141%, Mehriz 121%, Saddough 111%, Tabas 101%, Bafgh 100%, Ardestan 101%, Tiran 108%, Chadegan 120%, Khonsar 100%, Fereydounshahr 108%, Kouhrang 132%, Ardegan 104%, Sarbishe 105%, Ghaenat 101%, Bardaskan 102%, Chenaran 104%, Khalilabad 103%, Khavaf 104%, Rashtkhar 101%, Fariman 105%, Baghemalek 106%, Roudbar Jonoub 121%,
Ghaleganj 112%, Dana 127%, Behmayi 113%, Boyerahmad 105%, Bandargaz & Minoudasht 101%, Siyahkal 104%, Shaft 101%, Masal 104%, Delfan 110%, Selsele 112%, Nour 104%, Galougah 103%, Mahmoudabad 102%, Nekah&Ramsar 101%, Aboumousa 115%, Bandarlange 100%, Roudan 104%
Voting Pattern in the IRI:
Consequence of higher participation
During the last elections at national or regional levels it turned out that the higher the participation of the citizens the better the chance of reformist candidates.
For instance when the reformist President Khatami was elected in a landslide victory (with 70% of the votes) the participation was high at 80%.
On the other hand when Ahmadinejad was elected to the post of Tehran Mayor, only 15% of the eligible inhabitants of Tehran took part in the polling and his personal result was around 3% of the entire eligible vote.
Another example: The turnout figure for the presidential election in 2005 leading to the victory of Ahmadinejad was allegedly 60% nationwide . This figure was in real terms, slightly lower than 50% but by manipulating the actual number of eligible voters it was engineered to appear as 60% of the total eligible population of the IRI.
Ethnical Effect
The ethnic mix of the Iranian population has affected the election in the IRI.
During the past years the elections in the provinces have always shown a strong tendency to favor the ethnic candidates in their own ethnic territories.
Looking at the results of the 2005 presidential elections (table 2), whilst Ahamdinejad and Karoubi were competing in the provinces of Lorestan and the neighboring province of Kermanshah, the vote count for Mr. Karoubi, born in a city in Lorestan, was 53.9% and 33.3% respectively. The same figures for Mr. Ahamdinejad, not a native of the aforementioned provinces, were 8.5% and 9.3%. Speaking in absolute terms: While the vote count for Karoubi in Lorestan was reduced by a factor of almost 10 (from 440,247 to 44,036) regards 2005, the figure in favor of Ahamdinejad was increased by the factor 10 (69,710 to 677,829). This require that all of the new voters (caused by the higher participation), plus the 2005 voters for conservatives and for Rafsanjani, plus almost 49% of the reformist voters must have cast their ballots in the basket of Ahamdinejad.
According to an analysis of Chatham House in recent elections Ahamdinejad must have acquired in one third of the provinces the entire votes for conservatives, plus Rafsanjani, plus all new voters (due to higher turnout), plus 44% of the reformists votes which have been collected in 2005.
Such a swing of votes in general and from Karoubi in particular to Ahamdinejad is almost impossible under the prevailing ethnic tendencies given above.
Let us now consider the case of a little known candidate for the presidential elections of 2005, that of Mr. Mehralizadeh, a reformist candidate from Azerbaijan (West- and East-Azerbaijan and Ardebil, table 3, table 4 and table 5) having no support from reformist parties. His vote counts outside the provinces of his origin tended towards marginal figures (0.8% in Lorestan, 1.6% in Kermanshah and country wide 4.5%). But in his own home provinces Mr. Mehralizadeh had the highest share of the votes with regard to all other candidates (27.7% East-Azerbaijan, 19.3% West-Azerbaijan and 22.6% in Ardebil).
Province of Ardebil, a Specific Case Uttering the Effect of Ethnicity
The significance of the ethnic-driven voting pattern is further emphasized if we look at the votes of Mr. Ahamdinejad in the province of Ardabil where he was a well-known person having been the provincial governor for 4 years (table 5). In the 2005 presidential elections Ahamdinejad earned just 6.9% of the province’s votes compared with 22.6 in favor of the poorly known Azerbaijani candidate, namely Mr. Mehralizadeh who was an ethnic Azeri himself.
The voting patterns demonstrate the known strong ethnic tendency, especially for voters to vote for candidates of their ethnicity. This finding makes it implausible that Mr. Ahamdinejad has defeated Mr. Mousavi, the well-known and famous son of Azerbaijan and prime minister of IRI during the eight hard years of the Iran-Iraq war, even in his own home provinces.
Overall Map of the Voting Pattern 2005
Fig. 1 shows the distribution of the vote counts for Ahamdinejad and Karoubi in the course of 2005 presidential election in all provinces of Iran. It suggests that in the rural and periphery area where predominantly the ethnic minorities are living, the share of Karoubi is higher than that of Ahamdinejad. This fact contradicts the homogeneous distribution as well as the high level of the vote counts of Ahamdinejad across the country in 2009 elections.
The analysis of the data by the Chatham group (Ansari et. al.) questions also the credibility as well as the plausibility of the 2009 election figures published by interior ministry. In particular it questions:
• The turn out of 100% and more in at least two provinces and many more cities
• On the basis of the data from the elections 1997, 2001 and 2005 in the IRI it concludes: “That the countryside always votes for conservatives is a myth”
• The higher participation of the voters can not be considered as a reason for the alleged success of Ahmadinejad

Executive Summary
In the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) the requirements for an election to be free and fair is missing. The following limiting factors give rise to an election process with a high probability of bias and/or fraud.
A lack of equal rights for the citizens,
Restrictions are posed on nascent political parties,
Limited access to the media,
The Guardian Council (GC) acting as a filter whilst ratifying the candidates,
The interference by the Supreme Leader and the armed forces in the electoral process,
Fraudulent interventions of the state institutions via the Elections Executive favoring a particular candidate.
The analysis of the official polling results in 2005 and 2009 leads to the following conclusions:
Voting pattern of the Iranian in many provinces and in the rural areas is predominantly driven by ethnicity.
The high turnout of the voters (85% in 2009 versus 60% in 2005) as a result of the mobilization of the “silent” citizens usually leads to reformist and moderate candidates to be elected.
There is no indication that the votes of this group must end up in Ahmadinejad basket.
The alleged extreme increase of Ahmadinejad votes (up to 1000% as against the results of 2005 presidential elections) does not correspond with the economic and social records after 4 years of his administration.
There are significant indications that the figures are almost certainly manipulated ineptly and engineered by a group lacking any care for propriety. Just as two examples, at least in two provinces the participation of voters was more than 100% of the eligible citizens. Furthermore in the province of Lorestan more than 10% of the ballot boxes have totals being exactly multiples of 100 ( e.g. 21 boxes with 700 votes, 20 boxes with 800, 6 boxes with 1500, etc.)
Introduction:
The totally unexpected outcome of the recent presidential elections in the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) and the ensuing political earthquake as its aftermath motivated many observers to launch analytical studies to make sense of and to verify the results.
Several approaches were reported:
• A pure theoretical analysis based on the official election data
• An empirical analysis of the data
• A factor by factor analysis of the political environment before, during and after polling and an empirical analysis of the official polling data
This paper applies the latter method considering the situation on the political ground and then attempts to analyse the turnout figures published officially by the government of the IRI.
The political analysis is based on the statements of three opposition candidates, the announcements of the official institutions of the IRI ( , , , ) as well as the monitoring of the political events by the authors of this paper.
Political environment: Some of the most crucial prerequisites of a free and fair election are the following:
1. Equal rights for all citizens.
2. Freedom of speech and expression of opinions.
3. Freedom to build parties, unions, NGOs etc.
4. Freedom of having / having access to press and media.
5. Each citizen has to be potentially eligible to nominate him/herself as a candidate to be elected.
6. Competitiveness of the election shall be guaranteed.
7. The voting procedure shall be free and fair, assuring the secrecy of the individual votes.
8. The counting of the votes has to be performed under supervision of the representatives of all candidates.
The elections in the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) have never been free and fair. However before the current (10th period) presidential election two components of the above mentioned prerequisites were to some extent respected: The candidates who had been preselected by the Guardian Council, competed in an environment of more or less irregularities but the counting of the votes was carried out to a tolerable standard of fairness.
During the current presidential election the IRI leadership has broken with this tradition and eliminated the last legitimate vestiges of the election process.
The following paragraphs, explain crucial aspects of the current presidential elections with a view to show why the recent election results most probably do not reflect the will of a majority of voters, but that almost certainly, we are faced with a huge fraud and vote rigging.
The situation as it seemed prior to the election campaigns;-
Lack of Equal Rights:
In the IRI citizens do not have equal rights to participate as candidates in the electoral procedure. There is discrimination on the basis of gender, religious minorities and secular citizens. More over there is also discrimination within the Shia communities between those who are tightly aligned with Ayatollah Khamenei and the rest of the Muslims.
Restriction for Building Political Parties etc.
With the exception of the opposition candidate Mr. Karoubi the remaining main opposition parties and candidates are either considered as illegal or are living in a purgatorial state between legality and illegality.
Lack of Access to Media:
They have no access to state controlled mass media like newspapers, TV and radio broadcasting. Hundreds of the reformist newspapers and publications are forbidden and closed. Communication via the internet is also severely controlled and restricted, either by direct prosecution of the bloggers, by filtering web sites or by reducing the bandwidth for internet communication. It is not allowed to organize rallies, meetings or demonstrations.
Lack of the Right to Apply for Candidacy- Filtering by Guardian Council:
Of the approximately 500 citizens (including 30 women) applying for the candidacy for president only 4 applicants were selected by the Guardian Council (GC). The supreme leader Mr. Khamenei has frequently backed the government of Mr. Ahamdinejad. The Guardian Council responsible for the supervision of electoral processes consists of 12 members, six clerics nominated by the Supreme Leader directly, and 6 lawyers chosen by the Head of the IRI Judiciary (a Supreme Leader appointee in his own right) to be approved by the parliament. In other words, all members of the Guardian Council are directly or indirectly linked to the Supreme Leader. Moreover, not only repeated interventions were observed by several GC clerics in favor of Ahmadinejad but two members had been given concurrent responsibilities in his cabinet - Mr. Elham as Justice Minister and spokesman and Mr. Azizi as vice-president.
Thus it can be easily envisaged that the GC is strongly biased in favor of Mr. Ahmadinejad and has acted in a partisan manner.
Involvement of the Military Institutions:
Contrary to the IRI constitution which forbids any involvement by the military institutions in the political affairs of the country, in the course of the recent elections the military forces of the Revolutionary Guard (Pasdaran), paramilitary forces of Basij, as well as intelligence forces increasingly took direct actions.
In the weeks leading to the elections, Mr. Ahamdinejad mobilized the large financial resources of his government to distribute money (from the beit-ul-maal or the public treasure) among his supporters to secure their support.
Preparation for fraud:
Crucial changes within the interior ministry were reported suggesting that the government was preparing for fraudulent practices during the forthcoming elections. On this occasion the less reliable officers were replaced with the followers of Mr. Ahamdinejad (replacement of the interior minister and appointment of Mr. Sadegh Mahsouli, a close ally of Mr. Ahamdinejad from the Revolutionary Guard).

F-se! People's chat on the street... Sent report to Bazr student magazine-30th of June
News had spread out about something is going to happen in town on Monday because the guardian council 5-day deadline for reviewing the election is finishing.I thought,there's no way to miss today.
Tehran was full of security militia forces.But people were every where on streets in pressed groups,in the intersections,pedestrian ways and parks.They were saying that it will be demonstration from Tajrish sq to Railway.But it was seeing to be impossible because of the big number of suppress forces.They had occupied all the squares,roundabouts and intersections and also were standing all along Valieasr street in the queue.
People were diagnosing insiders form informers and spies and were talking to each other.
They were informing each other of setting on fire the new Khamenei's photos on billboards which had been installed recently to make people afraid more and also they were teaching each other how to fight with militia forces.
"You can not set these billboards on fire easily, you have to pour some alcohol on them first and then use the fire(match)"
Mothers alongside their wounded and beaten daughters,were exchanging experiences.
"We identified the plain clothe who has beaten my daughter and we will give him a lesson very soon,everyone has to do the same thing"
It was a really good time for people to talk to each other about Islam,Islamic government and who they really were and the fact that they obtained their power in collusion with imperialists,about Mousavi and being a part of this system and what happened in 60's(during 1980 to 1990).They were talking over that we want a modern society which people can kindly and without fear sit next to each other and even though they do not know each other but still know that they all are coming from same class and level and can talk about their opinions.They were talking about how they can start a new movement with chanting"Death to DICTATOR"and "Death to Islamic Republic"in their living areas.
You could hear people talking over"Neda Agha Soltan"every where.
Someone with a deep sadness said"They buried Neda in cemetery(Behesht Zahra)quietly"
The other one answered"Do not worry,this range is too vast and unbounded,they all will be converted to their anti's"
Everyone had heard or knew something were saying it to others.
"They are saying Rafsanjani is going to compromise.It was obvious from the beginning .Who the hell is he?King of this system."
"We don't know what to do with Mousavi,one day he says come out ,one day says don't"
ANSWER:"Get rid of delusion.Mousavi is part of this system and has came out from it.What we have to do with this regime is something that we have to decide not Mousavi who never forget to bound us with constitution and Khomeini and criminal system which he is one of its basis"
There was too much talk over all of these.I don't know what's going on in town.We had to leave that place.
But there were too much conflicts between young people and suppress forces in some areas of city.

Resistir para ajudar
Estas duas últimas semanas têm correspondido plenamente aos anseios seculares da chamada Ummah. De facto, o mundo muçulmano tem preenchido os cabeçalhos da imprensa escrita, enquanto beneficia igualmente da duvidosa honra de abertura de todos os telejornais.
Trata-se de uma notoriedade pelas piores razões. A informação global, ao invés de apresentar esta "civilização" com as pinceladas do já há muito fanado brilho do Califado de Córdova, mostra-nos o culminar de um processo já vetusto de uma época em que saídas da camisa de forças do colonialismo - ou mandato - ocidental, as sociedades de matriz maometana procuraram afirmar uma improvável identidade comum, apenas possível pela crença religiosa. De Marrocos ao Bornéu, jamais existiu essa imaginada unidade que os proselitistas exaltam no fervor dos sentidos, diante das multidões receptivas a uma qualquer mensagem de esperança. Profundamente humilhadas por um longo processo histórico que as conduziu a uma estratificação social - logo político-económica - vexatória a que se resignaram, as gentes recentemente definidas em termos de nação pelas fronteiras de Estados gizados a régua e esquadro pelos nazarin, encontraram num perdido passado de expansão militar, re-descoberta dos Clássicos e construção de impérios relativamente efémeros, um hipotético modelo orientador para um porvir que emanando directamente do Todo Poderoso, apenas significaria a recompensa pela cornucópia da glória, abundância e superioridade da sua identitária fé. Pouco importariam as realidades apresentadas por uma Turquia em secularização coerciva, uma Argélia satelitizada pela suserania da Santa Mãe do materialismo russo-soviético, ou ainda, a da antiga Pérsia que queria surgir diante da Europa como sua directa antepassada, sem a mediação incómoda aferrada pelos cavaleiros vindos do deserto do sul e que de cimitarra a tinha subjugado. Pareciam ser aspectos menores diante daquilo que verdadeiramente era capaz de unificar de este para oeste, um novo mundo em formação. Impossível.
A realidade internacional saída da II Guerra Mundial e que mergulhando na Guerra Fria dividiu as principais - e até aí hegemónicas - potências europeias em dois campos, definiu os blocos em liça pela supremacia. Sendo o bloco norte americano um natural prolongamento da Europa, os novos Estados do hemisfério sul continuaram fatalmente a servir como móbil nos jogos de poder, definindo desde a independência qual o dois dos Grandes - os EUA e a URSS - corresponderiam aos desígnios das elites formadas pelo colonialismo e que recentemente chegadas ao poder, esperavam ansiosamente afirmar-se no palco internacional, por esta forma consolidando a sua prevalência interna.
Embora os europeus e os "árabes" estejam separados por esse mar-de-ninguém que é o Mediterrâneo, desde sempre a História mostrou existir um "amigo e protector" dos muçulmanos. Francisco I de França abasteceu as galeras da Sublime Porta, contrariando a aventura do império mundial de Carlos V. Luís XIV aproveitou o avanço otomano contra Viena, atacando a rectaguarda dos Habsburgo em Espanha, nos Países Baixos, no Franco-Condado e nos mares. Napoleão imaginou uma aliança com o sultão, para poder submeter o bloco austríaco e condicionar os ímpetos do fogoso czar Alexandre. Guilherme II apresentou a Constantinopla a conveniência da assistência prussiana, assumindo-se como protector de um império cujos achaques de "homem doente da Europa" faziam adivinhar um fim próximo. Hitler recebeu o Grande Mufti de Jerusalém - o único homem a quem permitiu o uso de um cafetã na sua presença - , sancionou o ingresso de combatentes pelo Islão nas SS e no Mein Kampf, afirmava a conveniência que o credo de Mafoma significaria para a organização da sua própria Jihad em direcção a um Lebensraum não apenas material, mas perfeitamente correspondente aos velhos mitos germânicos dos tempos da vida nas florestas, em oposição à decadência de uma Roma invejada e porque inatingível, tornara-se desprezível e pouco animosa.
Uma lista dos chamados grandes homens do século árabe - na conhecida e errónea vulgarização do termo pelos ocidentais - das independências, demonstra-nos a simples não existência de um único que sendo perfeitamente autónomo relativamente ao odiado Ocidente, pudesse imitar o tolerante e grande chefe que fora o Saladino dos tempos áureos de Bagdade. O líbio Idris, o saudita Ibn-Saud, os egípcios Faruk e Nasser, a plêiade de quase desconhecidos generais que sucessivamente se sentaram no trono do menino Faiçal II do Iraque, os novos Khan-presidentes do artificial Paquistão, os Ben Bella, Bourgibas, Assads, Kaddafys e tantos, tantos outros que a história apenas reconhecerá em notas de rodapé, nenhum deles foi capaz de oferecer ao seu povo, um modelo definido de ordem, prosperidade e sobretudo, de reconhecimento geral pelo brilho de uma cultura já há muito assimilada pelos europeus. Arrancaram à terra as suas riquezas, desbaratando-as em novéis palácios de Mil e Uma Noites de pesadelos de tortura, guerras, extorsão e preconceitos anacrónicos. Entre todos os "grandes dirigentes muçulmanos", apenas dois perfazem integralmente o arquétipo do homem diligente, moderno e senhor das suas acções que fora de portas é um igual entre os maiores: Attaturk e Mohammad Reza Pahlavi - seguindo o programa modernizador do pai -, estes directos herdeiros de um outro mundo velho de muitos séculos e que compreenderam a necessidade de adequar a sociedade aos tempos da tecnologia, universalidade da Lei e liberdade nacional, bem diferente do complexo e muitas vezes equívoco conceito que a restringe à esfera pessoal do anónimo.
Fracassaram nos seus propósitos, pois ansiosos em ir sempre mais além e de forma acelerada, não conseguiram ser totalmente compreendidos e acompanhados por sociedades resignadas e estruturadas de uma forma conceptual diametralmente oposta à do modelo que lhes ditava a moda, organizava os serviços essenciais a um Estado, criava o consumo e estabelecia os parâmetros de conduta. Se Attaturk ainda permanece hoje como uma referência ciosamente guardada pela vigilância que os militares exercem sobre as sucessivas interpretações do próprio khemalismo, o grande homem que foi o Xá Reza Pahlavi, acabou deposto pela conjugação de factores que não podia controlar. O auge do confronto EUA-URSS no ocaso da Guerra Fria; os choques petrolíferos nos quais procurou ser um elemento apaziguador - que lhe granjeou acirrados ódios internos e entre os "irmãos de fé" -; a oposição de um clero profundamente patriarcal e de uma mentalidade onde prevalecia o espírito da organização rural em contraposto à "prostituída" vida urbana e finalmente, as consequências inevitáveis do seu desejo de independência e de igualdade entre os grandes, condenaram-no a um fracasso que criou uma inédita situação internacional que hoje parece finalmente evoluir de forma abrupta e inesperada.
Esta dualidade amor-ódio pelo Ocidente, pode ser afinal, um grande e poderoso móbil para mais uma e talvez derradeira aproximação do Ocidente, a um "mundo muçulmano" desconfiado, hesitante, mas talvez ainda possível de subtrair à total capitulação perante uma interpretação abusiva de um passado cada vez mais anacrónico. Usam e idolatram a tecnologia nazarin, organizam as suas cidades sob a métrica nazarin, organizam-se em termos legais numa mescla impossível do primado constitucional-legal nazarin, com os preceitos próprios para a salvaguarda identitária das já há muito desaparecidas tribos do deserto do século VI. Encandeados pela luz das nossas urbes são para a Europa atraídos como ferro para imã, mas a coacção moral e física de uns tantos, julga poder convencer a massa expectante, da prometida conquista que vingue a própria impotência.
A única fórmula possível de assistência naquela demanda pelo progresso, consiste na manutenção de uma posição firme, inabalável. Qualquer cedência ao capricho de assembleias de homens sábios, condena aquelas sociedades a um desastroso fracasso, do qual nós próprios seremos as preferenciais vítimas. Há que resistir.

The scum-bag that leftists "adore"
Iran in the hands of the "good and holy" men...
As in 1979, an actor and still not take into account - the military - has been apparently removed the conflict, suggesting the deep internal divisions that herald the collapse. It is swift and total.
Israel helps Ahmadinejad
The international policy, always followed the criteria that can sometimes be regarded as alien to the desirability of a certain time. Yesterday, President Shimon Peres delivered a disastrous speech that instead of what you want appears, is helping the cause of Khamenei and his puppet Ahmadinejad.
Freedom, democracy, end of violence and women's rights, these are some of the key points of communication of the Israeli president, just when the ramshackle regime of Ayatollah clear points the finger at "outside interference" in pushing the "terrorists, destabilizing agents and traitors "infiltrators in the demonstrations in the Iranian capital. Peres could not provide a better service to Ahmadinejad, making it simply unbelievable that a speech such as this was not previously reviewed and evaluated the possible consequences on internal Iran Apparently, the Israeli interest to maintain this regime for a radical and hateful West always timid in the face of threats made by extremists.
Israel has always wanted to be the exclusive pedestrian confidence that troubled western region. In the last decade of the reformist reign of Shah Mohamed Reza Pahlevi, the prospect of a hegemonic Iran and enjoying the category of strong U.S. ally, has made Tel Aviv afraid a gradual loss of influence in foreign policy from Washington. The interviews of the emperor about the excessive dominance of pro-Israeli lobby in the U.S., the progressive expression of autonomy in the Persian Gulf, the internal reforms and a more active and demanding within OPEC, led the Carter administration as to condescend the hypothesis of the collapse of the regime, triggering a series of events that the U.S. could not control.
Not be credible considering an Israeli initiative that avoid the usual and thorough analysis of the simple conveniences and well being, it is likely that this speech Peres serves as an excellent argument, the crisper the reaction of the Ayatollah in the face of street demonstrations. In the eyes of their little quantifiable supporters, Ahmadinejad is loaded right. Iran is not Portugal and nationalism is grown there as the reason for the country, appearing always threatening the spectrum of the theory of siege and the conspiracy of enemies eager to despoil the old empire.
The flag that the media try to hide
The images that the international press does not explain. Around the world, the Iranian diaspora leaving the streets in protest, bearing the flag of imperial Pahlevi. The televisions were unanimous in the dissemination of images of protesters visibly excited and are supporters of the establishment of a political model which in the words of Reza Ciro, would be near the Spanish constitutional system. Berlin, London, Paris, Washington, New York yesterday was the day of protest that may not have passed unnoticed even to the authorities in power in Tehran. These exiles have some influence abroad, and academically qualified people and party of the complete separation of mosque and state. A real brain teaser for the Western political analysts, always averse to understanding historical and social realities of non-European.
However, the regime of Ayatollah received more support in the international arena. Mr Hugo Chávez of Venezuela called for the resistance of the Iranian revolution ", already expected a reaction of one of the most dictatorial in evidence. The second support, even indirectly, has the words of Mr Trichet, the president of the Bank, warning against "Iran in the destabilization that is likely to aggravate the international economic crisis." This caricature of virtual power called "Europe", seems to send the rest of the world, the most clear and unequivocal evidence of weakness and fear denouncing the worst of all, the cupidity that overrides the values of freedom as proclaimed. It would be interesting to know whether this view is akin to the European Commission, or whether only the most apparent characteristics of the eccentricities of France, traditionally a champion of the gaffe on international politics. We await the response of Barroso.

" Obama: Anti-Christ With A New World Odor
Posted on May 26, 2009Filed Under Uncategorized 2 Comments
(@PeterSantilli )
People who know me understand why I voted for Obama and campaigned for him so vigorously.
For four years, I was so upset with George Bush & his so-called “War On Terror”; 9-11, in my opinion, was the greatest hoax perpetrated on America.
For a very short period, I detached myself from Republican roots & basked in the “liberal” name-calling inflicted upon me. It was new & exciting to be called a liberal, if only because I was an Obama supporter. The newness has worn off. Calling me a liberal would mean I am associated with a large group of people who tolerate Obama’s totalitarianism & reckless behavior.
In December 2007 I heard a convincing campaign speech on Iraq. Obama was adamant: When he became President, the United States was NOT going to spend $12 billion per month on the Iraq war.
In just over 100 days, we’re realizing that the nation cannot afford four years of Obama either.
Debt
Census
“For months, the Obama administration and members of Congress have known that insurance giant AIG was getting ready to pay huge bonuses while living off government bailouts. It wasn’t until the money was flowing and news was trickling out to the public that official Washington rose up in anger and vowed to yank the money back.” — Associated Press, 3/18
Why was it that same man who promised to put Americans’ interests ahead of his own political ambitions chose instead to use the suffering of citizens to advance his agenda?
Maybe he was following the guidance of Rahm Emanuel, who famously said, ‘You never want to waste a good crisis.’
Geithner, simply put, is a former Fed Mob Boss, and a well documented member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg attendee, and target of every conspiracy theory known to the modern world.
Samantha Power, who resigned from the Obama campaign after calling Hillary Rodham Clinton a “monster,” was hired to a position on the National Security Council.
Adolfo Carrion was confirmed as Director of White House Office of Urban Affairs, but is serving under a cloud after allegations that he accepted thousands of dollars in cash from developers whose projects he approved.
Seven of the Obama campaign’s top 14 donors consist of officers and employees of the same Wall Street firms charged time and again with looting the public and newly implicated in originating and/or bundling fraudulently made mortgages.
Lobbyists
Transparency
Remember when Obama said that Americans would know where every stimulus dime is being spent? Guess what’s worse than his lack of accountability. The American public’s failure to do anything about it.
Oversight
Trade, Labor & Environmental Issues
Military Spending
Militant Governance of the Private Sector - Dictatorship
Forced banks that didn’t want TARP money to take it, then added on stipulations about pay and government control after the fact. Secretly forced Bank of America to buy Merrill Lynch, then allowed the bank to be criticized for overpaying.
But the states and cities in the most trouble already spend way too much on education and healthcare, pushing taxes up and sending private industry away. They don’t spend nearly enough on infrastructure, which attracts the private sector and builds the real economy.
As David Walker, former comptroller general of the US, said at the Regional Plan Association’s annual meeting, nationwide, we are the ‘highest in the world’ on education. We are ‘the highest in the world’ on healthcare. ‘Nobody comes even close.’ On infrastructure, by contrast, we are ‘below average’ in both critical new investments and in much-needed maintenance spending. And, as Democratic governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell said at the same conference, when President Dwight Eisenhower left office, infrastructure spending was about 12.5% of non-military domestic spending. Today, it’s about 2.5%.
Consider: almost half of China’s $585 billion economic-stimulus program, announced last November to much fanfare, is earmarked for infrastructure spending on railroads, highways and power grids. Another 25% will go to reconstruct entire towns in Sichuan province that were devastated by last year’s earthquake. These are “shovel-ready” infrastructure projects.
Don’t forget, I was a loyal Obama supporter up until I started realizing that he’s making decisions totally in contradiction with his campaign promises.
Obama’s making terrible decisions, but most importantly, he’s betraying the people who put him in office. What are we gonna do about it?

“...Que o Deus Abandonava António”
Quando de repente, à meia-noite, ouvir-se
um invisível tíaso parar
com músicas maravilhosas, com vozes –
tua sorte que já decai, tuas obras
que fracassaram, os projectos da tua vida
que se tornaram todos decepções, não lamentes em vão.
Como homem preparado há muito tempo, como homem corajoso,
despede-te dela, da Alexandria que se distancia.
Sobretudo não te enganes, não digas que foi
um sonho, que teu ouvido se enganou:
não aceites tais esperanças vãs.
Como homem preparado há muito tempo, como homem corajoso,
como convém a ti que mereceste uma tal cidade,
aproxima-te firmemente da janela,
e escuta com emoção, mas não com as súplicas e os lamentos dos covardes,
tal qual um último deleite, os sons,
os maravilhosos instrumentos do misterioso tíaso,
e despede-te dela, da Alexandria que perdes.
