THEATRE TEHRAN: ACT II

I guess Pakistanis can temporarily breathe a sigh of relief as their name is taken off the headlines for a while. But an issue that is just as relevant is taking our place in the spotlight, instead; Iranian Elections 2009.

Ever since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has been an enemy. And a threat to American power politics. And here was this one chance where the Americans thought they could witness the change that would pave the way for them. But it didn’t. And that made them mad. Imagine how different their demeanour would have been should the election results have been otherwise.

In my personal opinion, Mousavi is the perfect excuse for a harmless reformist who could do a lot for the US government. He wants to create private TV networks, terminate the ‘Moral Police’, reduce the costs of the Iranian nuclear program while maintaining “what he sees as Iran’s right”. He has chosen green (the supposed colour of Islam) as his official campaign colour. His supporters swarm the streets shouting phrases like “Green Change” or “Vote for Change.” Sound familiar?

I find it boring and predictable that power media outlets in the US are raising a hue and cry over the results of the elections. A company backed by BBC and ABC themselves conducted a poll and had to admit that Ahmedinejad was leading by a margin of 2:1. Then why is this coming as such a shock? And why are re-elections the way to go?

They are not happy with a simple re-count because they are afraid of the truth. A re-election would give the CIA (Yes, I said CIA) a chance to get back in there and rig elections for their own purposes. Now this is only my view but I base it on the following information.

In 2007 there were reports of a secret or “black” CIA operation approved by President Bush himself. (Remember that when it comes to America, covert operations and foreign relations go hand in hand). This operation was to use Iranian immigrants as tools to communication with opposition parties back home and “bypass” censorship. Almost 20 years ago, the CIA’s whole spy network in Iran was exposed and around 50 Iranian citizens working for them were ‘taken care of’ including members of the Iranian military. A dozen locals were jailed or executed.

Former pentagon advisor Richard Perle testified to this setback and stated “ [the] terrible setback that we suffered in Iran a few years ago when in a display of unbelievable, careless management, we put pressure on agents operating in Iran to report with greater frequency and didn't provide improved communications".

Well, they have come a long way from writing on the backs of envelopes with invisible ink to recruiting expat Iranians like Roxana Sabri. And yet, this will still not stop the operation from proceeding. The policy of open secrets is what this New World Order functions on. It might even give it an advantage since most Americans have a soft spot for the “poor young woman abused by the Iranian regime image”.

Whatever Obama or his admin says, they are very much interested in the outcome of the elections and would very much like to interfere with it if they could. The fact that they can’t has lead to such avid support for Mausavi who represents, to them, one step forward to breaking down Ahmediejad’s Iran. One step forward to another puppet who they can buy or rent as they have done with our leaders for the longest time now.

And now we know why it is so important to have private TV networks in Iran; so they can send their own people to do the propaganda for them. America will do anything to get their hands on Iran; it is such a vital piece of the puzzle when it comes to the securing of Israel and the creation of the “new Middle East”. They are just dying to get in but since that is one place where the CIA is not allowed, they are recruiting foreign bred spies to do whatever they can. The efforts are not very successful and that is great.

Iran represents the success of defiance as so eloquently put by Gen. Hamid Gul. If this model is broken down, it will be a blow to the many Muslim countries around the world (including ours) that are in such dire need of this model.
