A comment from yesterday's Daily Show episode:
Quote:
It's all just part of some Grand Unified CT. But leave it to the "thinkers in the World of Thought" to see through it. Too bad they have worse english (sorry: American) skills than the average Iranian.

I am sad and depressed when foreign English students come across as better users of the *********** languages than most of those born to speak it. However, hearing them speak, in reality, is reassuing to us bad High (Public) School language students. It makes me happy that kids who spoke Farsi got Bs in English yet cannot make themselves understood, cuz I'd be screwed asking for more than a beer in German.

Oh, it's coming. It's a momentous event, lots of Internet interest, and not a lot of information. I'm already seeing claims of Israelis sending out information, pretending to be Iranians to spur a revolution. I don't just what to believe right now.

Jerks and bigots are already claiming that Mousavi is a CIA/Mossad agent.

SO in addition to his credentials as a 9/11 Twoofer, Paul Craig Roberts can now add "Defender and Apologist for The Iran Regime" to his credentials. Nice.

I heard this one about how the interior ministry first told Moussavi that he won. But then they changed their mind and invented a fake elections result, which they communicated to the local counting stations, who then submitted the fake result back instead of the real result. They also reported the real result in some way, but that was kept internal.

I think this is even more evidence that the CT movement is little more than children who desire to "rage against the MAN". Its matters not what the subject is or if the topic has an obvious right and wrong answer here - it matters only that the CTers act righteously indignant against whatever popular sentiment is.
In this case the government and popular sentiment are correct. In no case is it OK to slaughter and beat people for peaceful protests. Never. But we can't have CT's agreeing with that, then they'd be agreeing with the NWO! |

Exactly.Anybody who is opposed to the US "Establishment" is a hero to the CTers. If Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were alive today, the CTers would defend them as fellow fighters against "The Man".

Isn't is a conspiracy theory that the Iranian government keeps alleging caused the protests? You know, the one where Britain and the USA influenced the people of Iran to protest in the street.

Iranian government apologists on the #iranelection twitter feed were making very clumsy but concerted attempts to push this angle. They got shouted down quickly. I'm sure at least a few of them were friendly neighborhood Iranian intelligence agents. The others, useful idiots.

The biggest mistake these theories make, in my opinion, is the removal of agency from nearly all actors apart from the NWO.
Ok - I haven't seen the evidence, but let's be generous and say the CIA has funnelled cash to some segments of the protest movement in Iran. To what degree is the CIA responsible for what is happening? This is a question not-often asked in CT circles. If there's a hand of the CIA there, then the WHOLE phenomenon is entirely the product of CIA action. But this disrespects the peoples whose histories, politics and lives have pushed them to the point to start the actions in question. Was the "orange revolution" not an organic product of Ukraine society? Even if there were westerners involved, all they did was provide backing to a group that was already acting under its own power. You can see this frequently in reference to Al Qaeda. Because the US and Bin Laden had coinciding interests in the eighties, OBL is a "CIA creation" or "lackey". Cause the ISI and the CIA had coinciding interests, "the ISI is a puppet of the CIA". Very simplistic thinking that on some level I find quite culturally chauvinistic, to devalue the potency of the domestic factions in question because at one point Western powers saw some benefit in backing a particular horse. Maybe some times this aid was key in assisting certain actors at certain times. Maybe some times the aid was a drop in the bucket, or ineffective, or otherwise not that an important a factor in the eventual outcomes. But this is a degree of insight not often seen in CT circles. |

Remember these are people who think that Arabs aren't sophisticated enough to hijack planes and then fly them. Educated about other cultures they are not.

Here's a new conspiracy theory, as predcited. The Iranian protestor was actually killed by a hired assasin, not a member of the Iranian military. Damn Zionists causing trouble again!
http://www.smeggys.co.uk/viewtopic.p...&sd=a&start=40 Smeggys is rapidly rivalling the David Icke forum for sheer lunacy, idiocy and rabid anti-semitism. |

I'm surprised the article didnt mention operation ajax.
"The British and U.S. spy agencies replaced the government of the popular Prime Minister Mosaddeq with an all-powerful monarch, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi who ruled for the next 26 years until he was overthrown in 1979." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Ir..._d%27%C3%A9tat By Ken Ballen and Patrick Doherty Monday, June 15, 2009 The election results in Iran may reflect the will of the Iranian people. Many experts are claiming that the margin of victory of incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the result of fraud or manipulation, but our nationwide public opinion survey of Iranians three weeks before the vote showed Ahmadinejad leading by a more than 2 to 1 margin -- greater than his actual apparent margin of victory in Friday's election. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...061401757.html By Joby Warrick Monday, June 30, 2008 The Bush administration told Congress last year of a secret plan to dramatically expand covert operations inside Iran as part of a long-running effort to destabilize the country's ruling regime, according to a report published yesterday. ... Among the opposition groups allegedly receiving cash and other assistance are ethnic Balochi dissidents in southern Iraq as well as established resistance groups such the Mujaheddin-e Khalq. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...901881_pf.html |
