Fop 1 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 wasn't this how the Shah went in the end............. Given the way Iran operates (it is about the most intelligent totalitarian state ever know, at least in the last 15 years) it'll be more like Tienanmen Square.

Fop 1 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Internet causing them some problems. Although their biggest problem was rigging it so decisively for Dinnerjacket, letting it go to the second round would have likely taken the sting out of the oppositions anger. 66% was just too good to be accepted.

Ketsbaia 0 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Twitter has really came into it's own over the past few days. Some fantastic citizen journalism going on right from the heart of the protests and they give out much more information much quicker than either the BBC or Sky do.

Fop 1 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 hundreds of thousands demonstrate against the election result. Democracy in action. Revolution in action (maybe). Guess it depends on how they play it, slaughter and violence, or maybe sacrifice Dinnerjacket to keep the real power in place, on whether there'll be any genuine Democracy in Iran any time soon.

ewerk 31600 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Iran to hold election recount Iran's Guardian Council says it is ready to hold a recount of disputed votes in Friday's presidential poll. Opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi has contested President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election, alleging widespread fraud. The BBC's Jon Leyne in Tehran says the council's announcement is a complete U-turn. The official results sparked three days of violent protests. Iranian radio says seven people were killed during demonstrations on Monday. The Guardian Council said the votes would be recounted in areas contested by opposition candidates.

Can't see that flying, given that Dinnerjacket did "amazingly" well in areas where he had little support and Mousavi had massive support. Recounted faked votes is just............. well recounting faked votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 "adjust " the result so Dinner Jacket wins with 52%, buy off Mousavi with the job of Minister of Petroleum & Bribes, shoot about 5000 "terrorists" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hoping for Mousavi to get in, although he's only "liberal" in an Iranian sense - and still very much of the Iranian establishment. That shows how badly rigged it was, all the candidates have now complained, even one that was an ex-revolutionary guard commander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I guess it still shows we count for something in the world - presumably the Bad Guys in Iranian movies all speak with an English accent - just like in Hollywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
