One such person is Ali Akbar Dareini of AP. He very cunningly omits certain news. For example if you read his latest report, you get the feeling that, democracy took place in Iran, and then Ahmadinejad lost.
Fact is that the people of Iran did not vote. A look at the the following report from IRNA, the government news agency, gives the figures for the top five winners.
The election headquarters of the Interior Ministry here Wednesday released the result of its latest vote count for the Tehran City Council election as follows:
1- Mehdi Chamran: 413,216
2- Morteza Talaie: 374,161
3- Rasoul Khadem: 291,071
4- Hadi Sa'ie: 279,075
5- Abbas Sheibani: 268,552
And at the bottom of the report, it states very clearly states:
In this latest count, 1,254,608 votes were counted from 2.2 million ballots cast.
There are 15 million people in Teheran. We also know that there are 6 million members of the Basij, or the Islamist vigilantes (rather like the Hitler Youth). So what happened to them? It seems that no one really participated.
So why is it that reporters like Dareini do not highlight this? Why is it that the whole world is not made aware that the people of Iran were the real winners? They gave a resounding "No" to the bogus election by boycotting the elections. But do we have one report in AP or Reuters, or the liberal minded BBC? Of course not.
The situation in Iran is now in the hands of the Iranian people. They are in charge. For too long we have waited for the world to get its act together and condemn the Islamist Fascists. Nothing of the sort is happening. The major news agencies are not interested. Conspiracy theorists can say what they like; everything from Islamist Fascists filling PR agencies with money to all sorts of other ideas.
But it does not matter. The good news is that the Iranian people are the winners, and the tin pot rulers are standing on very very shaky ground - and they know it.
