Iranians did not vote, and won.

Perhaps one of the most embarrassing situations we Iranians abroad have is to witness modern educated Iranian reporters not reporting the whole truth.

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.

UN Bans Death Penalty

One hundred and four countries voted in favour of the draft resolution, 54 states voted against and 29 abstained.

One day I hope that we do not have the death penalty in Iran. I hope the UN bans the Seyyed government. That would be another non violent way of removing this regime. The people of Iran are held at gun point inhumanely. Nothing is sacred enough to kill people for. Life takes care of life. Love and understanding for the sake of righteousness is what is needed. Righteousness for the sake of Righteousness, as stated in the Zend Avesta is what is needed. We Iranians said this thousands of years before everyone else.

No Hijab = death, where are you UN?

"I do not understand how these women who do not respect the hijab, 28 years after the birth of the Islamic Republic, are still alive," he said.

"These women and their husbands and their fathers must die," said Hassani, who is the representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in eastern Azerbaijan.

How ironical, that a day after the UN votes to ban capital punishment, we get this Seyyed mouthing death. What is it about morality, that in its most potent form, it advocates the most uncivilized solutions. Surely the instrument of law should as honourable as the moral code it is advocating. Maybe sometimes there are perverts around, but to call all Iranian men, or other men, perverts, and then cover yourself up, is a false accusation. A women who refuses to shake my hand, or looks at me through a hole in the chador is insulting me, before she knows anything about me in the first place. Of course we all know that this is just crazy dogma at its best. But would that Seyyed really shoot some girl in a mini skirt if she walked passed him? Yes he would, and this same buffoon, would not hesitate to press the nuclear button, if he knew it was being fired at Israel. Does the UN Assembly care that they have such thinkers in their midst, illegally representing the oldest civilization in the world? And does the world media, whose job it is to point out these things, and make the world aware, do its bit? Well it is getting better, is the answer. It is not enough, but at least these monsters are making some "news" to some. You won't see this in the bulletins of corporations or national press of those doing business with the Seyyeds. If this news made front page all over the world, then something would be done about the fate of women in Iran. Ya Ahuramazda, we will be peaceful within, and continue with non violent conscious objection.
