The coming coup
Things are really getting nasty here. After Karrubi's unbelievably blunt letter to the Supreme Leader, everything is suddenly changing. All non-fundamentalists are rallying behind Rafsanjani. Many are talking about a possible coup by Sepah and Basij after Friday's second round results.
It's also rumoured (now confirmed ) that Eqbal and Aftab, pro-reform newspapers, were seizes in the printing house last night after they published full text of the letter.
Karrubi for the first time has publically challenged the Supreme Leader and has accused his son of paving the way for an unexpectedly high vote for Ahmadinejad.
As for my own self, I've been advised to stay in Tehran for a couple of more days. But I have to attend a conference in London on Wednesday and if I can't get there by then, it'll be a huge risk staying in Iran.
Stay tuned.

Hmm. Seems like the members of the Iranian exile community threatening violence against those it disagrees with politically is every bit as fascistic as the regime. Why behave this way? Anyone ever heard of civil society?

Minoo,
Spoken like a true bastard! So, where are you at? Westwood or Encino?

You are censoring my comments on both your Persian and English blogs. And I know why!! Because I pointed out how unrealistic and out of touch your positions are and have been. Because I remind you that if the whole election was a sham, made up and phoney, and that you shouldn't bother talking to people about who to vote for and why people boycutted! It's all a big sham and you're apparently a part of it!!!
And people are sick of you all.

Hoder - be very careful when you go to London. From my sources I understand that the Iranian outside Iran in especially London and Los Angles are very upset with you calling them "bastards" they are preparing a welcome for you that you won't forget in a hurry. Also watch your back when you are in Iran. there are many true Iranian democracts that have caught on to your double game. Your time is limited and your future is ... well you dont have much of a future ...

Keep posting! I am preparing an article about Iran here in Norway where I will among other things point at what Western companies could/should do when they invest in countries like Iran. I don't know if you recall, but the Norwegian oil company Statoil was involved in quite a scandal in Iran last year, and the CEO of Statoil had to leave, among others.
Good luck with your fight.

Why are you calling the Iranians who live in LA bastards all of a suddend. Give somethought for the fact that you and all your mullah lov'in cock suckers are the true cunt bastrads that sold out our country. I really hope that you do get jailed by the mullahs so that you get your secrect wish of having them fuck you up your gay ass.
