Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s tyranny ‘is crushing Iran’s artists’
But, while she says her generation of Iranians have learned “never to hope”, she believes the movement for change could soon prove unstoppable. Rather than another revolution, she says, they would like to see “an evolution – we want even the mullahs to live in peace”. “It’s like a windscreen of a car: when there’s a little crack, it will be everywhere,” she says. “Either you have to change it or it’s going to destroy itself. And now the crack is there.”
Tiny crowd for Ahmadinejad in Birjand helps put things in perspective.
Considering that Ahmadinejad is the so-called president of the 70 million strong Iranian nation, and considering that according to the governing regime in Iran he (sic) “won” the majority of the votes in the election held in June of 2009, you’d think he could muster more than what we see in the video below. As [...]

The dust of dissent can still choke this regime
On the surface, “order” has been enforced. But only on the surface. Inside Iran, public anger still burns, flaring up wherever opportunity presents. At the core of the Islamic regime, a struggle has been unleashed that — by stepping off his pedestal into the thick of the fray — the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has lost his once- undisputed power to bring under control. Far from subsiding, dissent is shaking the regime to its roots.
Dawn of the Age of Justice
The people have not sat idly by, and in the past month a clear distinction has been made between the people on one-side, and the regime on the other. The world has seen the people’s aspirations for freedom, and their bravery in the face of terror and the tyranny of a false theocracy. The world has also seen the last shred of legitimacy that the government of Iran may have held disappear to reveal what can be safely described as a government structured like a mafia that sees itself as God’s representative on earth with the right to butcher its own people. It can’t be more clear than that.
The price has been paid in blood by the Iranian people. And blood has been spilled across every facet of Iranian society.
