Michael Ledeen on Iran

Old lady, están siguiendo la huelga general y marchas en Irán ?

[...] Meanwhile, horribly maimed bodies have been showing up all over the country. Some of the gouging of the bodies seems to have been done to remove all evidence of bullet holes, but whatever the “explanation,” the bloody savagery is well documented. [...] And yet, the protest goes on. For the past three days, a general strike has been in effect, with significant results. Indeed, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei preemptively admitted defeat when government offices and factories were shut down in the name of a religious observance. But the strikers only expanded the range of their actions, notably by shutting down electrical grids in several cities, including parts of Tehran. Great swathes of the nation were plunged into darkness. This sort of thing is likely to continue, whatever happens on the 9th. [...]

Meanwhile, there are continuous accounts of internal strife in the regime’s ranks. The London Guardian, in a carefully worded account, tells us that the most powerful figure in the ongoing repression is Khamenei’s second son, Mojtaba. He is said to be particularly enraged by the British Government’s seizure of more than a billion dollars in London accounts, at least some of which belongs to him. No one would be surprised to find that the supreme leader was a very wealthy man, or that he had salted away some of his money outside Iran. [...]

Esto no terminó.

  2. Sí, muy interesante, como he leído en varios lados, si el régimen no cae ahora, de todas formas estamos viendo el principio del fin.

    No puedo esperar, ya vimos el fin de la URSS y sus satélites de Europa, ahora faltan Irán, Cuba y Siria (aunque Siria ya está de capa caída y es un satélite de Irán).
