When will they realize that they're on the wrong Path....
The official celebrations have begun. This is as the Opposition has called for massive protests. I am monitoring Al Jazeera and there was just a report of clashes on Sadeghi Square. Mehdi Karoubi one of the key opposition leaders was due to arrive there.
As this was going on, the regime had restricted Internet Access and detained opposition activitists. Yesterday's New York Times reported that the wife and children of a jailed journalist were summoned to the Revolutionary Court for questioning. It was simply unbelievable. Google has been reporting that access to GMAIL was restricted. The opposition, though, was as ready as it could be. The main internal opposition site for the Green Movement had already sent out at least one proxy server for access to all a day before. I saw it and posted it to my own facebook account to help spread the word.
Al Jazeera featured another University of Tehran Lecturer who tried to be a bit more reasonable than the normal mouthpiece for the regime, Mirmarandi, who toes the regime's official line in a major way. He noted that there is broad support for the government and a belief that Ahmadinejad actually won the election. I suppose if a lie is constantly pushed that lie would ultimately turn out to be true. Anyone remember the WMD story in Iraq?
Right now, there are no updates on Facebook. Ahmadinejad has arrived at the celebrations and is due to speak shortly. Knowing him, he will probably go on a tirade against the West and Israel. He is continuing to speak right now telling the world that the Iran has already enriched uranium. As they regime puts on another show, what they continue to fail to answer is why they are afraid of opposition. There are also reports of Mehdi Karoubi and Mohammad Khatami being attacked to intimidate the opposition. There are also reports that the opposition is attacking and bringing down Government Websites. There is also a report that Mohammad Reza Khatami the former President's Brother and his wife the grand daughter of the Islamic Republic's Founder have also been detained.
Such reports are showing the profound schism within the ruling establishment. The regime will not change quickly and will do what it has to do to live through this. I am not surprised at this continued repression. It is bound to continue Not withstanding the so-called show of force, the question that the regime is not answering is this: Why are they not allowing the true aspirations of the Iranian People to be realized? What are they afraid of?
