Jockeying for power, Truth or Politics, Form or Function
Translation From a blogger from Iran (I will not provide a link for security reasons):
The discussion in the Opposition camp outside of Iran divides the Iranian power elites into two groups:
1. Some say the variances and the duality or dichotomy that exists among the ruling factions in the regime is a deceptive and orchestrated ploy or tactic to distract and keep the Westerns busy while they are being made a fool out of.
1. Some say the variances and the duality or dichotomy that exists among the ruling factions in the regime is a deceptive and orchestrated ploy or tactic to distract and keep the Westerns busy while they are being made a fool out of.
2.The other group say that there are fundamental differences in existance among the ruling factions.
That, to what extent, these assumptions are accurate; I will discuss them perhaps in a new light:
One of the interesting items that is clearly evident and on display on many occasions is that there is a lack of unified and unanimous messages. There are several voices, meaning that in the Islamic Republic, we don’t see a centralized power.
In the era of cunning, deceitful, and ill-disposed khomeini, the ultimate say was always his and anything he said was the absolute command.
But today, anything that occurs in Iran raises different voices from different corners of the power elite. Reactions are different and sometimes so contradictory that the laypersons ask each other :”Is the government so polarized and chaotic that they can’t unify and coordinate their decisions and messages before they express them publicly??”
We have seen many times that one of the government official says something and another one says completely the opposite. For example, Ali Larijani when a reporter asked him in Iraq whether the Islamic Republic going to participate in the Sharm-al-Sheik Conference in Egypt, Larijani replied, “NO”. Then the reporter told Larijani that President Ahmadinejad announced two hours ago that Iran will participate in the Conference, he kept silent and proceeded to pass by the reporters with anger.
This phenomenon has occurred a thousand times in the past. For this reason, the West does not trust the regime. Westerners until the very end of ex-president Khatami’s term were kept distracted by ironic and fanciful novelties (curios) such as “Dialogue Among Civilizations” crap and were hoodwinked for a while.
The West and the westerners only discovered and realized the conspicuous and egregious infightings within the regime, when Mahmood ,the monkey, came to power. The speech of Mohsen Rezai, God father of IRGC about Ahmadinejad in this context is very interesting to mention. He said, “The Iranian nuclear train has not only breaks but also it has “reverse Gears” and he continues to say, Ahmadinejad is our ‘Six-hand power’. The speech was a loaded and significant with multi-level meanings:
But the most disappointing of all is that the primary sufferers and victims of these policies and animosities are ultimately the Iranian people. Please read my analysis carefully:
There are two groups in the country that have usurped the power: 1. the reformers and 2. The hardliners. These two reflections intensely criticize each other . And each one blames the other for their abysmal failure in running the country. Along with these two main groups, there are hundreds of other auxiliary groups in the country who are all obedient either to one of these two main ruling powers. And some are more extremists and some are more moderate.
But Still when you look at these two groups you realize the bitter truth: All of these groups are all followers of the revolution principles and Islamic constitution and Khomeinist Islam and are obedient to the Supreme Rule of the Velayt-e-Faqih.
All of them respect the principles of revolution and the Khomeinists Islam. And none of them are ready to move the slightest bit to turn and reverse these principles. And unfortunately all of them result in actions against the will of the people.
The only factor that causes their infighting is the ‘style’ and the manner in which they deem ruling the people and the country to their own taste and liking.
Different administrations have been in power in Iran, some more extremists and some more moderate. Ex-president, Khatami, with his so-called reforms illustrated how in secret and behind closed doors perpetrated kidnapping of and invented the serial and chain murder of intellectuals, scholars and writers, censoring the internet, and the brutal suppression of student uprising and the phenomenon of the civilian-cloth- wearing paramilitary and many other painful issues.
On the surface, all of this heinous crimes was attributed to pressure groups and Khatami’s incompetence in standing up to them, but as we found out, they were all done with the full approval of Khatami.
The future of Iran is painful and vague but ultimately bright and will benefit the people. Even so, at what price? How many will be victims and prisoners of this regime and will suffer and lead lives of hopelessness, wasted potentials, and utter wretchedness in a huge prison called Iran? And for how much longer?
The Islamic Republic can reach a compromise and negotiate with the West but this will not change anything for the ordinary enslaved masses and it might even make their lives harder than it is right now.
If The Islamic Republic does not reach a compromise with the West, then ultimately, war is inevitable and definite.
And in this way, people will be killed and bombed.
Sanctions and the cat an mouse play will eventually harm the regular people also!!!
Tomorrow, the reformers can take the power back but because in principle, they believe in the Islamic constitution and they are followers of Velayat-e-Faqih (Supreme Rule of the Supreme Leader) and Khomeinists Islam, and in reality, in action and deeds nothing will change and nothing will improve for the benefit of the people. And the reformists too, in order to stop and prevent the uprising of the fed up masses inevitably will show decisiveness for if they don’t, people will take advantage of the open political climate and will rush in to get their country back and THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE REGIME.

The people in Iranian regim do not lack any unity. Every one of them says opposing things, becuase they are masters of double-talk and deception. They are very smart.So far it has worked for them.
Some of these people in the picture used to have famous chinese names!! the standing moron was called Jib-chon-bank !! Although we were too young to understand what was happening with these people,the jokes were unforgetable!
Goli jan: What a funny name...They all look like the devil to me.
