Guardian Council certifies results. Matter is "closed."

This isn't really a shock since everyone on the council or everyone that appoints people to the council is ultimately selected by the Ayatollah's crazy ass.

And with MJ dead, the press doesn't care either.

How's that rebellion going over there?

I read yesterday that hundreds were rounded up, and a lot were dead in the street, but that was all from twitter feeds, not the MSM.

Any closer to kicking the current fuckers out of power?

Not really. This could take awhile.

Last time it took seven years.

I still can't believe someone can't lend them a few tons of C4 just for the hell of it.

Hangings?

Iranians still pissed. People pissed off for this long usually means they're in it for the long haul. Unfortunately, they don't've the munitions to equalize anything.

Wonder if they purged their military yet. Randomly executing 10% of them ought to do it.

This is where we need Nic Cage's character from "Lord of War" to step in & supply some malcontents.

Iran has a history of the long slow burn in their revolutions. This could go on for a few years before it's done.

I suppose the local populous does need to drain the resources of whatever police state is fucking w\ them at the time before the real coup attempts can be made.

But, fucking hell, I'm just not that patient. There's a group of relatively sane folk who want to go from a fascist theocracy to a gov't that thinks a divine, supernatural being is NOT the proper yard stick for measuring civilization. Normally, we just walk into a rogue state, beat their asses down, & do our shitty, shitty best to prop up new folk that later turn out to be a different brand of destructive psycho. We've a preexisting condition here & now which might short circuit the preceding recipe for mediocre results.

More revolutionary fun.

More than three decades ago, the popular uprising overthrew the US-backed monarchy in Iran. Popular marches have been scheduled across the country for February 11, which mark the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

Some shit's got to go down.

Iran claims it is now a "nuclear power".

Place your bets on when the Israeli airstrikes hit.

I think they might try something a bit more subtle first. Wouldn't be their first sabotage job.

Nuclear agreement reached. Israel may lose its fucking mind.

Posted: **Mon Nov 02, 2015 1:54 pm**

That agreement sounds iron-fucking-clad, baby.

"The martyr-nurturing nation of Iran is not at all prepared to abandon the slogan of 'Death to America' under the pretext of a nuclear agreement," 192 members of Iran's parliament, which has a total of 290 seats, said in a statement, according to French news agency AFP.

The group said the slogan had become "a symbol of the Islamic republic and all struggling nations."
