Protesting in Iran over Election Result

So, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seems to have won the presidential elections in Iran, causing mass riots since the people believe they have elected someone else. I don't think anyone is really surprised at this. And those who are would do well to read up on how Iran is ruled. The facts are that the President wields almost no power, and is almost nothing but a figurehead. He is officially the second most powerful man in Iran. But he is second to one of the most powerful local authorities, the Ayatollah. The Ayatollah is formally called the Supreme Leader, and is the de facto leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran. And he has been since the enactment of the new constitution of 1979. To quote wikipedia: "The Supreme Leader is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, controls the military intelligence and security operations; and has sole power to declare war or peace." source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran#Government_and_politics

Now, hold on a minute, The supreme leader has all of these powers (seems a lot, but is no less than some of our western leaders mind you), but who elects him? Well, there's an "assembly of experts" that elects and dismisses him based on some small qualifications and his popularity. Excuse me, his popularity? What kind of a way is that to elect anyone? And who are these people in the "so-called" assembly of experts? They are 86 Mujtahids (or Islamic Scholars if you will) that are elected from a government-screened list of candidates and by direct public vote. Ok, so the people can actually vote on who goes into this assembly, but they cannot vote for whoever they want. I know this isn't that dissimilar to some of our western countries, where we have two "presidential candidates" or two "parties" and so forth. But at least in europe, anyone can start a party, at least for now. And who are these people doing the screening of the list of candidates. All info (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_of_Experts) I could find was that it is the "government" without further explanation.

Either way, the presidential Elections in Iran are quite obviously a sham, and whoever have really won would obviously have made the world a better place. At least according to the rioting people.

My big question is, what good will rioting do? Hopefully, they will get a recount (seems to be underway, but who really knows?). But what if that recount shows that Ahmadinejad and not Mousavi have won. Will they continue rioting? And what if Mousavi have won, will Ahmadinejads followers accept defeat, I don't think so.
This situation has arisen because someone wants to destabilize Iran. We can only speculate at who. But at the worst possible time for a power that might rival the mighty US, it has been thrown into turmoil.
And what if the recount shows that the voting has been a fraud, will they do a re-election, or will they have to re-legislate to avoid it in the future?
Either way, it seems that Iran will undergo some very harsh and profound internal changes over the next couple of years.

On a side note, I would like to bring forward that Dr. Ron Paul's bill to audit the Federal Reserve, called the Federal Reserve Transparency Act (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HR_1207) has gained enough co-sponsors to pass, 226 to be exact. This means that the Controller General (controlled by the congress) will get to audit what the Federal Reserve does with all the money. And it also ensures that Congress will get complete access to these Audit results. All in all a small victory for the people, and a bigger insight into what one of the worlds biggest moneylaundering schemes are really up to.

I know the main sources in this post is from wikipedia, but a recent comparison between Wikipedia and the Encyclopedia Britannica shows that they contain an equal amount of errors, so I am pretty safe in my assumption that Wikipedia does the job.

Subjective Truth

Wednesday, 17 June 2009 16:46 |

Author: Ed |

Be it faith in a book of parables and its teachings,tales passed down between generations, a gut feeling, or a high enough level of peer pressure. We still all have our own personal truths and our views of what is right and wrong. Whichever it is, our ideas of "Truth" are a subjective concept based primarily around belief. In an individual its called an opinion and although it can be similar to others, in many cases it differs and this is where the line is drawn for the ensuing battles of ego and persuasion; The propaganda and information wars currently saturating all media.

Discerning people never accept everything at face value but a lot of people still do and this is where the battle for consciousness begins; Everyone has opinions and while they lead to mentalities and define you as an individual, certain viewpoints reveal themselves in others leading to a grouping of likeminded people. The group is called a following, an order, a cult,a religion, a party, Ethos and so on. In the end, what we believe in is first. our personal choice but at the same time, our choices can be directed and influenced so the agenda of groups and entire demographics can be dictated simply due to the majority of belief in that group or by a leader forcing his own belief on his followers. They include familiar absolutes such as "if you are not with us you are with the enemy."

The core foundation for our beliefs come from our parents and education. External influences have a large impact in what we start to believe in and childhood is the key development stage, so it may be safe to assume that this will set us in a certain direction early on. Everything we learn in the majority of this stage comes from either, the more preferable, parental interaction or from schooling. Unfortunately, parents might even have been victims of a previous generation of brainwashing themselves and these days most parents do not know the psycological and social impact that the new schools have either. Children are guillible in the sense that they believe anything you tell them and that is why its paramount we tell them the right things.

When I see the new futuristic, high-tech fenced off school-prison complexes that have been simultaniously erected in my own town, (and the remainder of the U.K it seems), it begines to unsettle me. The new schools have replaced all old school buildings with sterile, white holding pens and now burst with enough CCTV, face scanning and fingerprint checking equipment to rival a M.I.5 accounting department.

Our children are being indoctrinated into this nightmare state and are being trained to be snitches and ecopolice, because they are susceptable to accepting what is presented as normal, even outright falsities. We all then have to accept that constant surveilance and security checkpoints will be the future, because it is the children that will be growing up to form the next generation.

The schools were recreated for polical correctness more than actual security because of so called terrorism os portrayed in the media, but if you look up the deffinition of terrorism, you will find it is a tool for political change. Terrorism only has an impact on a national and global level because its a weapon of change its also a very effective one. This is the geopolitcal game being currently played and we are the resources. We are also expendable.

You and I, everyone who looks for answers or questions the governments agenda are now classed as terrorists. Meanwhile the 'so called' terrorists that have been reported about in the news constantly are, if not emtirely ficticious, are just regular people who were unfortunate enough to be placed in a situation with no voice, no no other way out and no real power to do anything about it. Of course there are criminals in the world, but a person who demands fair and just treatment, respect and the same equal rights as everyone else is not a criminal. If a person has to take to the streets to defend their country they are not criminals.

The propaganda that permiates all modern culture has developed over a long time, its methods have been tried and tested many times over, only this time its taking a more totalitarian bent. There does seem to be a massive push for control happening around us, somewhat subtly but occaisionally in our faces, this juggernaught continues to roll forward and the side effects of its efforts for total control are starting to be noticed by all of us. More cameras, more tracking, more police brutallity and more mindnumbing entertainment to keep us enthralled while more terrible things happen,and more wars funded by your tax money get started, wars you didn't ask for but got anyway.

The perpetual wars of Eurasia and Oceania fueled totally by their respective nation's peoples absolute loyalty and subservience. We have to admit that what is going on a global scale is wrong, capitalism can be seen as the selfish tool of the enemy and its almost as if the people running thisplanet are using the classic work og Orwell's "1984" as a template.

So what do we do? Well of course we have to start at the base level and motivate our children to learn and question everything they are presented as fact by the people that aim to decieve us. Parents no longer actually have children they can raise themselves and call their own, as was the traditional view of life. Now they bare the states property and look after it and if the state deems you an unworthy keeper, it will take back its property. We are litterally all state owned infant making factory farms and the government wants to take your children and make them its own work force and soldiers. We are all slaves already, but how much more imaginary freedom do we have to lose before we realise we never had it? We have been sold out and now your child and each one of us is a stock market resource, a bond of United Kingdom Inc.

Another thing we can do is ignore the mass media, the government agenda and anything it says to be true. We can of course totally ignore 'terrorism' because it is ficticious except only on a small scale, local level and in other countries where oppressive governments have hindered any real progress. It will happen here too if the strings were ever pulled and the system is now in place to fight us on a extreme beuraucratic level. No terrorist would ever be able to blow up the World Trade Centres on the scale as what has happened without some serious resources and financing, and people wonder why their taxes always increase and why there is always so much missing money from the state treasury's 'fudged' books. The black and secret projects are just a small portion of it but media control is another.

Finally I do see the progress being made, no matter how much evil there is in the world, there will always be the balance of good to fight against it. The Freeman of the Land movment is taking off and people are exploring new ways of creating energy and practicing alternate medicines with great success. There is so much creativity and good in the world, it would be a shame to waste it. People have that 'next paycheck' mentallity that as long they get paid they are apathetic to almost everything doest concern or involve them and its time to change all that.

I do see a bright future, but we have to keep working at it. We have to do our small bit and that will snowball into a greater mentallity for the whole, we have to keep telling people what we know whenever possible so they can make the informed choice. But most importantly dont let the media wind you up or provoke you with its images of violence. Yes you need to be aware of them, but ranting and cussing at a video clip accomplishes nothing. We can make it, but we need to look out for ourselves and we will rise above anything that life throws in our direction.

Ah, and so we are back! A week has gone by, where the site has undergone some very big changes. The "new and improved" justonemind.com will have a main focus on letting anyone publish their material on the site. To allow for this, anyone can register as a user, and anyone can post. In the beginning there will be restrictions on everyone. Not because we want censorship (rather the opposite), but we do want quality in all postings.

We can also offer videohosting (this is experimental for now, so please be patient), and hosting of eBooks, music, audio and whatever else you can think of. All we require is that copyrighted material only get posted with the written consent of the copyright owner.

We will sport a few writers that will be posting the featured content. But anyone can become featured, just by posting good articles, so keep'em coming. And so long as an article is well written, it will become available on the site.

So please, register as a user, post your articles and let fly the debate! Everyone and anyone is welcome.

Enjoy your stay!

Cheers,
Thomas
Site owner and administrator
