Club of Doom - Ayatollah Selects Mullah "Antoine Fouquier-Tinville" For Iran's Sham Presidential Elections, Reformers Disqualified

 

• candidates in all elections vetted by Iran Guardian Council

• a 12-member body whose members are directly selected by Khamenei

• Guardian Council Tues disqualified non-hardliners for president election
• including vice president, former parliamentary speaker, shocking the country
• Guardian Council’s interference with elections

(OSTB : Err..I am not shocked at all. These folks are so exactly predictable).

• level of disqualifications unprecedented “political earthquake” 
• Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei did not want to take chances 
• seven candidates approved out of around 600 who applied
• Judiciary Chief Ebrahim Raisi hot favorite, remaining 6 candidates little chance
• extreme extent to which Khamenei wants Raisi to be successor 
• Among shocking disqualifications speaker Larinjani 
• Larijani disqualified for his view that Iran needs West
• he fell out with Ahmadinejad in 2007 and resigned as nuclear negotiator
• Despite women allowed to apply, none were approved
• disqualifications make elections one-horse race
• more Iranians will stay away from ballot box

other 6 candidates are: Saeed Jalil, Mohsen Rezaee Mirgha’ed, Alireza Zakani, Amir-Hossein Ghazizadeh Hashemi, Mohsen Mehralizadeh and Abdolnaser Hemmati.

• Jalil secretary of Supreme National Security Council in the past
• Mirgha’ed commander of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps 1980 to 1997
• Alireza Zakani, head of Iran’s Parliament Research Center
• Mehralizadeh, reformist served as vice president, head of National Sports 
• Hemmati currently serves as governor of the Central Bank of Iran

Ayatollah clergy-class still prefer to dominate top jobs 

My comments :

This is the reason why you should never give power to the religious people. Once they are in power they will use all sorts of illegal and unethical means to stay in power. Because they feel that their version of their god is on their side. It is just their feeling. 

The Iranian presidential elections are just a sham. 

Because before the elections can be held, there is a super-duper supreme Ayatollah Council which picks the potential candidates who can run for their presidential elections (to be held on June 18th, 2021).

This time around there were 600 applicants including women. But the Ayatollahs picked only seven of them. That is slightly over 1% of all the applicants. 

And the Ayatollahs have knocked out serious contenders who are popular with Iranians.

Instead, this time around the Ayatollahs have picked Judiciary Chief Ibrahim Raisi as their top candidate.  

Who is Judiciary Chief Ibrahim Raisi?

Oh you are such a great guy. Oh you are such a great guy too.

• 1988 Death Commissions Massacre
• 1988 fatwa by Khomeini, 30,000 political prisoners executed
• Ibrahim Raisi was Tehran’s Deputy Prosecutor at the time
• member of Central Committee of Death Commission which oversaw massacre 
• commissioned by Khomeini to massacre and execute 30,000 prisoners 

My comments :

During the French Revolution of 1789,  

"the Revolutionary Tribunal of Paris, led by the notorious public prosecutor Antoine Fouquier-Tinville, was the most prolific organ of the Terror, sending more than 2,700 people to their deaths, sometimes as many as 30 in a single day."

The Ayatollahs want their own former 'chief executioner' to be president. 

Is any of this surprising to anyone? The thing that still shocks me is that this is the 21st century. 

The Iranian people have little choice, Even if they go out to vote what does it get them? The Iranian elections are just a sham. Then when Ahmedinejad was elected president in 2007 there were serious complaints of the votes being rigged. But the Ayatollahs wanted him. So they got him.

Now the Ayatollahs want this former "executioner" who was involved in the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners as their next president.

As I said before there is one candidate from the Islamic Republican Guard Corps 

Mirgha’ed commander of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps 1980 to 1997

But he may be a standby candidate. The Ayatollahs want the mullahs in power.
