Western Hypocrisy over Iran Elections
President Ahmadinejad
Everyone, it seems, both in the East and West, even China, is now aware of the huge forgery that gave last week’s Iranian election result to the cross-eyed one.
Tehran Election Results Demo 2009
However, when talking about the brave people marching through Tehran’s streets, saying “everyone deserves freedom” etc etc, we should cast our minds back only a few months in the UK, when the G20 protests were initially derided until that man Tomlinson died after being whacked by the police.
Cast our minds a little further back to the massive con over the American electorate that was the election of George Bush via his nepotic brother and the hanging chads fiasco. Yet still, even now, recall that USA elections are not fair because of the electronic voting system in place which can be manipulated to put anyone in power that controls the vote …
In light of this, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s re-election does not look so extra-ordinary.
It now appears that they are going to have a recount.
I ask, a recount of what? – Forged and corrupted ballot papers that’s what.
Iraq War Demo 2003
No doubt the Western powers are secretly gleeful about all these events. It’s only for the oil though! Forget all thoughts of people’s right to demonstrate for freedom…. The USA and UK in particular, have a horrible history in Iran that people in that country have never forgotten. For instance, the CIA ran round dishing out money for voters to secure an election, and when he wasn’t suitable, the UK under nice Mr Churchill and the USA conspired to impose the Shah of Iran in his place – which is what happened.
Meanwhile, yesterday in the UK, Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced a secret investigation into the Iraq war (Iran’s neighbour), one founded on false ‘facts’ about weapons of mass destruction. A million people demonstrated in the UK against this war (similar to those on the streets in Tehran yesterday – compare and contrast the two photos) – and yet the war in Iraq still went ahead!
So much for people power…
What chance for a real vote recount in Tehran then?
