Religious dictatorship is the worst form of oppression, since the dictator claims divine authority and views any opposition to its tyranny as opposition to God! The regime in Iran hanged my beloved 67 yrs old father after holding him in solitary confinement in Evin Prison for 4 yrs,for his opposition to the notion of Velayate Faghih (supremacy of the self-proclaimed supreme leader's whims over the lives of the people).
I pray to see the day that Khamenei and his henchmen be tried in the Iranian nation's court of Justice for their countless murders & crimes against humanity.

However, what is far more important is the separation of "State" and "Corporate and Banking Special Interests" which use political parties and State agencies to line their pockets and then use "religious" or "quasi-religious" movements to consolidate their power for world domination.
Take as another example the control of the FDA over our lives and the fact that this totally corrupt organization is in bed with Big Pharma with a revolving door between their residences. FDA is now attempting to circumvent the people's will by making forms of Vitamin B6 illegal to be sold as vitamins because one form is now in clinical trials for approval as a drug! When completed, a person will only be able to buy this natural, life-saving substance by prescription at massively inflated prices to offset the high cost of the clinical trials. Medicare and Medicaid will have to pay through the nose for what people can get over the counter. Until approval, people with serious illnesses that are effectively treated naturally will die because they cannot get this naturally occurring nutrient. This is illustrative of the unconscionable marriage between corporate special ...

And, it is why many of our Founders wanted a limited federal governement, not the bureaucratic behemoth that it has become.
We must, thus, look below the surface and expose the forces that are using the situation in Iran to fulfill an agenda that has nothing to do with the issues of religion or freedom. It is a process of destabilization, pure and simple. We must not be misled by surface appearances and look at the situation in simple black or white terms.
The Iranian clash is not different from the political clashes elsewhere in the Middle East. It is not different from those here in our own country where citizens have been turned against each other in a "virtual" civil war.
These destabilizing forces we once identified as being Marxist-Leninist or Communistic in origin and carried out principally by the Soviet KGB. Who are the people now serving as the instruments of the the POWERS THAT BE, do you suppose? The changes in our country are still following the Soviet KGB psychological warfare agenda. Who is fanning the flames of "destabilization" of our country now? I have my candidate. Who's yours?
Obama is faced with the choice of labeling himself as "Bush-like" by interfering in a foreign county's election process, or a pacifist by staying out completely.
Again, if the last administration hadn't made so many costly mistakes or acted like a spoiled brat tying to earn his Daddy's respect, the US might be in a better place to make a difference.
You're saying that it's "all Bush's fault"?
Good God, wouldn't you like to be taken seriously by reasonable people?

What possible purpose would this poster have to make such a claim?
The Swedish embassy has opened its doors to allow anonymous computer posting by Iranian citizen to get word out, as well as the British embassy and one other I missed..
so the poster is correct at least to some degree...
But there are still many tweets getting out through proxy servers.
Tweets were coming in every 10 seconds yesterday. I haven't checked on it yet today.
I pray to see the day that Khamenei and his henchmen be tried in the Iranian nation's court of Justice for their countless murders & crimes against humanity.
His murderers, who claim divine power here on earth, will someday stand before the true God - from Whom nothing is concealed - and they must answer for the work of their hands.
God bless you and your family. Your father is this moment in Paradise, wishing he could dry your tears and heal the pain in your hearts.
god bless
