I've been following political developments there over the last 24-36 hours. It appears that the election results weren't just stolen, they were entirely fabricated: that is, nobody even bothered to count ballots, they just made the numbers up. The results of this completely-obvious fraud have been what you might expect: protests, arrests, riots, disinformation, violent clashes, cut-offs of telecommunications, etc. I rather suspect we'll see either (a) a pervasive totalitarian crackdown and imposition of martial law combined with severe restrictions on telecom or (b) a revolution. Maybe both. ---Rsk
In 1979, I watched on tv in Denver as the American School of Teheran was overrun by protesters after the Shah fell. All I could think of was what a change from the way things were when I attended as a kid in '66. I see a lot of the same looks on the protester's faces as I saw back in '79. I also see a lot in these kids today that was there back when Iran was developing before the revolution. The Iranian people will set things straight, you watch. They always do "what needs doing". An awesome people ^__^. My money is on b), probably peacefully behind the scenes via the religious councils. -steve _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
