Iranian Unrest: The West Doesn’t Care Who Wins Or How Many Die, Just As Long As It Rattles The Mullahs

Murdoch’s Propagandists
Monday, June 22, 2009

For the right-wing Western media it is really unimportant who won the election in Iran; the important thing is that the resulting turmoil, chaos, and deaths works against the ruling Mullah’s and in favour, no matter how little, of the right-wing of Israel and the US and their supporters in Iran. Greg Sheridan, a Murdoch propagandist with The Australian newspaper, sums it up: “In many ways, a savagely weakened Iranian regime is the best result Israel and the US could have wished for.” Democracy per se, as far as the right-wing are concerned, actually has very little to do with it as long as it’s a good ‘result for Israel and the US’.

It’s quite clear that the reaction to the announcement of the results of the election were planned in advance well before the election took place. Some pre-election polls had Ahmadinejad well in front by some 2-1 so the outcome, contrary to what the Western media would have us believe, wasn’t exactly a surprise to anyone.

However, since the likely outcome was not entirely unexpected, it gave the opposition an opportunity to plan a false claim to election victory, a claim which they voiced as soon as the polls closed. And then when the results were announced, they simply cried ‘foul’. All of this has been helped along by the right-wing Western media who supported the opposition’s claims by focusing the news on the opposition’s rallies and demonstrations against Ahmadinejad and ignoring the pro-Ahmadinejad rallies which were on some occasions much bigger than those of the supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi. So desperate were the Western media to push the pro-Mousavi cause they even, on at least one occasion, actually claimed that pictures of a massive pro-Ahmadinejad rally were of a pro-Mousavi rally.

It’s quite clear that agent provocateurs have been employed to push along the oppositions agenda. They have encouraged the violence on all sides by provoking the police and by setting fire to buses, cars, motorbikes and buildings. The Western media have claimed that the authorities have violently cracked down on dissenting demonstrators when in fact they have been cracking down on those that have set fires and been running riot. The vast majority of both Ahmadinejad and Mousavi demonstrators have been peaceful. It is only the anti-Mullahs professional agent provocateurs that have stirred up the trouble by running riot and setting the fires and claiming to be supporters of Mousavi.

For the right-wing of the US and Israel, as Murdoch propagandist Greg Sheridan infers, it doesn’t matter whether Ahmadinejad or Mousavi end up getting the nod, nor does it matter how many Iranians have to die in the process, the important thing is that it stirs up trouble for the Mullahs.

For the Israelis it’s just another step along the road toward their final confrontation with Iran.

   I just have to love how the right-wingers are always Bible-thumping over “Israel” and how it’s God’s chosen people simply because of its name. I have news for them:

   1. The Bible talks about the House of Israel (Jacob’s descendants), not the nation of Israel.
   2. The original Israelite nation was destroyed and scattered because it broke the covenant it had made with Jehovah.
   3. The Pharisees at the time of Christ thought they were automatically entitled to unconditional divine protection because they were “God’s chosen people.” Look what happens when Titus invaded 70 years later.
   4. The Jews took responsibility for having Christ crucified. They took him to be killed and said, “it be upon us and our children.” They’ve been punished for it since.

   There are tremendous parallels between the past and now with the attitude that right-wingers seem to believe that America is God’s new holy land and Americans are automatically entitled to divine protection and intervention, despite the fact they utterly fail to follow what they profess to believe.

   “They do honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”
   “Not everyone who says to me ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of Heaven.”

   And so many others…

   “false claim to election victory” “professional agent provocateurs ” – wow! Amazing how you spin this into an America/Israeli issue. Your an insult to all Iranians wanting freedom, to all those murdered in peacefull protests. The real facts are that Iran is one of the youngest counties (population demographics) on the planet. They have chronic unemployement and no future with the current represive regime. In their little bit of freedom,too chose from candidates chosen by the supreme leader to run in a shame election, they get their vote stolen from them. THey are rioting because no one know who voted for Ahmadinejad! even worse, they say he won by more votes than last time, even though the country is far worse off! The whole world knows the election is fixed, the result on the streets is just a tip of the iceberg. This has nothing to do with America or Israel, but simple basic freedoms and and like all humans, an aspiration for a better life. Freedom will come to the Iranian people. We saw it in Eastern Europe, we saw it in the Soviet Union we will see it in Iran.

   The so-called “right wing” does not run this country you imbecile. If anything, the US government has reverted to liberal fascism following the script of your probable likely hero Karl Marx. You need to get a life, and quit making stuff up. Truth is, your hoped for government is closer to Nazism than any “right winger” I know.
