Obama team is no different than Bush on Iran

'The key issue is now to find a channel to Khamenei,' said a senior Western diplomat briefed on the Obama administration's policy review in recent days. 'If the supreme leader moves, he's going to do it in a very prudent and incremental way.'

The discussions are part of a larger Iran-policy review that the Obama administration is aiming to complete this month, according to U.S. officials."

You read commentaries like this, and it makes you think, "wow, this Obama guy is really up to something good". We all like him. And I know you are thinking here comes his sentence starting with the word "But ....".

Let's look at it objectively. Fact is that the Obama team has just renewed the Clinton 1995 sanctions on Iran on Thursday. So all the hoo haa about the new guy at White House, is different from the others is wrong. Moreover he is going to go for the top Seyyed in Iran. Maybe that makes him different.

Fact is, that this non-Iranian bunch of bandits that control some of the instruments of power in Iran, are standing on shaky ground. In fact their only legitimacy is the slogan "Death to America". Take that away, and they have nothing. Obama just needs to utter the words, "non violent general strike", and the people of Iran will shut down Iran. But he does not do that. Why?

Oh actually the Seyyed/Theocrats have done something no power has ever managed to do since Cambyses II. The Arabs and Israelis and US, have now agreed to fear the Seyyeds nuclear endeavours, developed of course with stolen money of secular Iranian people, via their illegitimate representatives in their so called parliament. That Israeli, Arab and US unity, is costing innocent Iranians far too much. But the world does not want true and proper Iranians to be in charge. That would propose a formidable challenge.

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.
