“Kargozaran has been banned over a media offence and the case has been referred to the court,” Mohammad Parvizi, who is in charge of domestic media at the culture ministry, told IRNA.

He said the ban was ordered over “a piece yesterday which justifies the Zionist regime’s crimes against humanity in Gaza and portrays the Palestinian resistance as terrorists who cause the deaths of children and civilians by taking up position in kindergartens and hospitals.” [source]

Kargozaran was started by Iranian students. The Iranian Students movement is the last refuge of relatively free thinking left under the dictatorship of the mullahs in the facists Islamic Republic.

I like what Spectator’s Coffee House blog had to say:

Channel 4’s decision to invite Ahmadinejad to present the alternative message also, I think, demonstrates how few people have grasped who he really is. The people at Channel 4 must still see him as a bit of a laugh, someone who succeeds in annoying the Bush administration and the Israelis, rather than as who he really is: a man who has ordered the death of British troops, is keen to wipe Israel off the map and who supports the hanging of homosexuals and the oppression of women. Let us hope that in we wake up to who he and the Iranian regime really are in time to rally the political and diplomatic will necessary to stop Iran from going nuclear.

On July 9, 2008 US Secretary of State Robert Gates said: “Based on what I know, it’s highly unlikely that those air defense missiles would be in Iranian hands any time soon.” Clearly, Gates was misinformed and his intelligence wrong, since five months on, those missiles are on their way to Iran.

Before you jump to conclusions, do not forget that the the US does not need to shove B2, B1, B52 planes anywhere near Iran. ICBM’s using current HE packages are a safe and easy solution for taking out Iran’s nuclear sites.

Watch a video of the S-400 in action

“While expressing sympathy with Palestinians and warning professional Zionist criminals, I declare that the Zionist regime has reached the end of the road and more crimes cannot save it… In the near future the concepts of aggression and Zionism will be wiped from the world.” [source]

Israel will not tolerate this much longer. The question that remains is who will attack first, Israel or the US?

In a late news conference to foreign journalists, Chavez said “[The] Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sent him a letter. The reply wasn’t good. It was disrespectful. Obama was unable to get away from the cliche. He spoke like Bush. They are very bad signs.” [source]

Chavez and Ahmadinejad both insulted? So far so good from Obama. Let’s hope his true colors remain this way.

This man is very dangerous. Remember, Ahmadinejad is a devotee of the Mahdi, the 12th imam of Shiite Islam, who Shiites believe disappeared more than 1,000 years ago and who will return one day to bring an apocalypse. I find it interesting that Ahmadinejad does not bring up the current economic state of his own country. It is the worst is has ever been - does this mean Iranians are abandoning Islam?

What Wall Street experienced is a classic case of greed. Even to an atheist, this would be considered wrong. Why would anyone want to bailout a bunch of New York Manhattan millionaires for $700 Billion who all deserve to lose their job for making horrible business decisions? 

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may no longer be so supreme.

The turbaned tyrant is losing power to the mullahocracy’s maniac-in-chief, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the Revolutionary Guards.

In fact, if the trend continues, Iran will be a mullahocracy in name only. Instead of a clerical fascist country, it will simply be fascist–with clerical backing.

So say a growing number of analysts, including some who have followed developments in Iran since the 1979 Islamic overthrow of the pro-American Shah, a modernizing monarch.

From a Western perspective, the suspected power shift is ominous. The Revolutionary Guards are even more militant than most of the mullahs–and more adventurous in terms of foreign policy. They are bent on developing nuclear weapons–and intercontinental ballistic missiles–with the aim of destroying Israel and driving the United States from the Middle East. Some members of Ahmadinejad’s inner circle actually believe that Iran can destroy the US, too, with a nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack.

Amil Imani brings up questions Larry King did not ask. 

When Mr. King asked him about his statement last year that there are no homosexuals in Iran, Ahmadinejad replied, that it is not the way it is here. It’s disliked in Iran. Then he asked Mr. King if he were concerned for 70 million Iranian people or a few homosexuals.

Mr. King should have asked how many homosexuals he has hanged this year and instead of asking him how many children he has, he should have asked him how many children he has hanged in the four years he’s been in office.

Mr. King missed an opportunity to ask him why he is so interested in securing Palestinian rights, while he is denying such rights to the Iranians. Why does he want a referendum for the Palestinian people to decide their own destiny, while he refuses the same to 7o million desperate and unhappy Iranians.

* Mr. King never asked why the Islamic Republic has been denying and violating a long-suffering people of all its human rights. They are guilty of beating, imprisoning and torturing hundreds of women who braved participating in a peaceful demonstration pleading for equal family rights, on the recent International Day of Women. This regime has systematically beaten, imprisoned, and tortured all manner of citizens, from school teachers to students to union workers, for daring to raise their voices against the plight to which they have subjected them.

* Mr. King never asked about an Islamic regime that has savagely beaten and hauled to its dungeons of torture and death over a thousand of the tens of thousands of teachers who last year gathered in front of the parliament requesting nothing more than their back pay and living wages.

* He never asked why they have directed systematic genocidal measures against all non-Shi’a religious minorities, with Baha’is as their prime target. They arrest some Christians — whom even their Quran calls “People of the Book” — for observing Christmas.

* He never asked why they have implemented barbaric practices of stoning, hanging and amputations for those who are convicted of crimes in their kangaroo courts without any due process. They even imprison those few lawyers who rise in the defense of the innocent.

* He never asked why they have plundered, mismanaged and doled out Iran’s national wealth with the result that the great majority of the people are living in poverty. They have forced the Iranian women into prostitution to survive or simply are sold as sex slaves in Persian Gulf states.

* He never asked why they spend a fortune on the nuclear program that they claim is only aimed for peaceful purposes, while turning Iran into little more than a gas station nation, with its precious oil wealth squandered and its facilities on the verge of collapse through neglect. They have created a suffocating social atmosphere that has driven masses of the people to the use of hard drugs as a way of numbing their pain.

* He never asked why they look far and wide to support any and all terrorists. The Islamic Republic’s delusional theology mandates the creation of horrific conditions in the world so that the Hidden Imam is compelled to appear and establish his rule.

* He never asked why they spared no efforts at sabotaging any settlement between the Palestinians and Israelis. They arm and train all Palestinian factions such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and any and all that come.

* He never asked why they direct similar criminal schemes on their eastern flank, in Afghanistan. They consider any democratic system as the enemy of Islamofascism, and rightfully so. They have worked ceaselessly to expand Iran’s stolen funds, and do all they can in support of Shi’a co-fascists Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Larry King has assured himself a steady supply of celebrity interviewees with his non-confrontational format, but applying this approach to Ahmadinejad reflects a lack of news judgement by CNN. It will now be more difficult to oust this regime

I can’t believe Larry King let this guy come on. Ridiculous.
