Massive Protests Sweep Iran After Fradulent Elections

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Bad Decisions, Elections, Iran, Video

The more I’ve read about election results coming out of cities that NEVER would have voted for Ahmadenjihad, the more I’m convinced that this one was rigged.

And the Iranian people are mad as hell…

Here’s more…

Not only that, Twitter is being used a ton to get the message out.

Andrew Sullivan sums it up like so…

This generation will determine if the world can avoid the apocalypse that will come if the fear-ridden establishments continue to dominate global politics, motivated by terror, armed with nukes, and playing old but now far too dangerous games. This generation will not bypass existing institutions and methods: look at the record turnout in Iran and the massive mobilization of the young and minority vote in the US. But they will use technology to displace old modes and orders. Maybe this revolt will be crushed. But even if it is, the genie has escaped this Islamist bottle.

The revolution will be Twittered.

Twitter isn’t going to stop the millions of religious fanatics in Iran who are willing to blow themselves up and kill their own people, including women & children, just to protect their fanatical devotion to their bullshit religious ideology.

Twitter is not going to stop the centrifuges or destroy terrorist training camps. This revolt WILL be crushed, or at least fade away once the Iranian youth get bored with internet chat rooms.

Here’s the good new, we know that this election was a fraud and now that we are seeing this, we could see the beginning of the end of Iran as we know today without going to war against the Iranian people.

That’s a big assumption. Repression works.
