		<description>We say the same thing.  Obama should not continue Zionist lobby&#039;s destabilization plan and stop meddling in Iranian affairs.  Why Obama&#039;s supporters are so BLIND to see that?  Is this too difficult to see?  The difference between Bush and Obama is the rhetoric.  Besides, Dennis Ross,  Jewish Lobby, a fifth column, there is an Iranian monarchist by the name of Vali Nasr , a Zionist,  who has been hired as an advisor to Richard Holbrooke  in policy making related to Afghanistan and Pakistan  although he has studied Iranian politics. As Reza Aslan, an Iranian-American expert has said: The US does not take advantage of people like me or Nasr who are specialist in Iranian affairs. He was offered a job with CHINA table, where he knows next to nothing.   This has been reserved for members of the 5th column, Israel Lobby, to represent Israel’s interest in different capacity against others. Only pro Jewish Lobby has total control over the Middle East policy decision.  Dennis Ross, who is widely known as Israel’s lawyer was involved in Palestinian-Israel negotiation team as an envoy and everyone knows the disastrous result of that selection.  Now, Dennis Ross is deeply involved in the Iranian Coup against the government to implement the Israel Lobby’s mission.  All signs show that Obama is doing his job very well by having a subordinate position.   Ross is in the driving seat.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m very glad that massive amounts of people (70% of them not middle class) have taken to the streets for a civil rights movement in Iran; I support them, and I don&#039;t think they are US-backed.   The election was stolen, and it is sick and stupid to see some ridiculous conspiracy brandished here, the home of stolen elections; I wonder if all the anti-Bush stuff and the allegations of his stolen elections were actually a Palestinean/Russian led-coup?</description>

		<description>Oh joy.  The media stooges have discovered Twitter - another lazy excuse for not practicing actual journalism.  Does it really matter that journalists (or what passes for such) are being censored/restricted in Iran?  Even with carte blanche to report, western media would only provide info that corroborates what the US govt/corp cabal wants the public to believe.

How politicians can profess concern and despair (with a straight face) over the Iranian govt&#039;s threat to its citizens&#039; freedom and democracy is  beyond shameless.  I guess it&#039;s easy to do when there is no threat of US citizens being informed about their govt&#039;s past and current role in overthrowing Iranian elected leaders.  Before Mr. President goes a-waggin&#039; his finger at Iran for cracking down on protesters, he should take a look in his own backyard.  Max Baucus had citizens who brought up the issue of single payer healthcare at a hearing arrested.  When  citizens here at home can&#039;t even peaceably raise legitimate concerns in govt venues paid for by their tax dollars without being ignored or worst, I don&#039;t think Obama or any other US politician has the moral authority to tsk, tsk other regimes.</description>

		<description>No solid opinions of my own here, it&#039;s so hard to tell what the facts are.  I will say that I am deeply suspicious of the activities in Iran . . . especially given that there were plans and budgets to destabilize, and that the nuke issue is so reminiscent of WMDs in Iraq.

One thing I know for sure, I don&#039;t believe repression of the Iranians is Obama&#039;s concern, or the concern of anyone else that makes a tidy profit from all of this saber rattling.  

From what I saw in Mpls/St.Paul past summer, the right to free assembly, speech and to be secure in privacy of one&#039;s home are not priorities within US borders -why should I believe that&#039;s the principle behind all this media coverage and bluster?

		<description>What is the purpose of this silly note at &lt;a href=&quot;http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/peter-ackerman-billionaire-sponsor-of-toxic-ngos/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this site&lt;/a&gt;?
&quot;So, readers might take some time out to send a tweet out to a pro-democracy demonstrator in Iran or even upload a video of your latest protest. The world awaits you.&quot;
To tell us that we should support the  voice of  &#039;democracy&#039; fomented by NED, Non-violent Center headed by a Zionist billionaire who have brought number of  &quot;color revolution&quot; around the world and now is working on his stupid &quot;Green&quot; one?
Louis Proyect  writes
[Ackerman founded the International Centre on Non-Violent Conflict (ICNC) and is responsible for all its funding. 

It has always worked closely with the Albert Einstein Institute [AEI] — a group that does work closely with the US government and the notorious National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Duvall gives a false impression that his organization is totally isolated from US foreign policy elites.  
His close associate is DuVall who claims ICNC does not receive funding from US government but according to Michael Barker:
[A]although Duvall claims the ICNC “ha[s] not and will not accept any support from any government for any purpose”, it has always worked closely with the Albert Einstein Institute [AEI] — a group that does work closely with the US government and the notorious National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Duvall gives a false impression that his organization is totally isolated from US foreign policy elites.]
This is a Coup against Khamenie and his associates by the US/Israel with cooperation of a corrupt clergyman by the name of Akbar Rafsanjani who is hated by majority of Iranian people but is loved by Zionists and his puppet OBAMA.  Mir Hussein Mosavi  is a puppet of corrupt Iranian business class head by Rafsanjani and sell out ‘intellectuals’, like Sadeq Ziba Kalam and Journalist Ahmad Zaid Abadi, and  former impotent president Mohammad Khatami who are pro American project “The New Middle East.”   Mir Hussein Mosavi must be aware of this coup supported by Israel his puppet OBAMA in the US to insist on his STUPID POSITION despite the fact that he has caused so many damages and lost of life yet he insists on his lies BECAUSE HE HAS PROMISSED HIS SUPERIORS TO DELIVER IT FOR THEM.   He is already a traitor in the eyes of Iranian people.  He should be arrested immediately and put on trial as a traitor.  I’m sure the Khamenai’s camp is not that stupid to move on him right now.  They know this is a coup where was planned before the election because US/Israel had the knowledge that Ahmadinejad is the winner of the elections against Mosavi, their puppet and Karrubi who received only 0.88 of the votes is supported by ABDUL KARIM SOROUS, a sellout ‘religious intellectual’ who like Shireen Ebadi, an agent, were chosen as “100 influential people in the world’ by empire’s magazine, TIME.  Down with all of them.  Iranian people with more than 62 percent have spoken and chosen Ahmadinejad and are not going to be moved one inch by zionist puppet OBAMA who put the interest of Israel ahead of the interest of American people.  Take your note somewhere else and do a serious study on Iranian history and struggle before going  writing another note.</description>

		<description>Clever use of a &quot;non-article&quot; for propaganda purposes! The article essentially says nothing but at least two unsupported assertions are casually made in passing as if they were established fact. First, the &quot;stolen&quot; election in Iran. All the evidence, of course, suggests that the election wasn&#039;t stolen! Second, the &quot;anarchist-led uprisings&quot; in Greece, meaning, of course, the youth demonstrations of some time ago. Hardly an &quot;uprising&quot; and certainly not more than one, and the demonstrations seem to have been spontaneous, in response to a particular event.  Not an anarchist in sight and certainly no sign of one doing any leading!

I was taught that propaganda trick in Catholic school 40 years ago!</description>
