It was during the Ghadir Khumm Eid - an annual festival which commemorates an event happened on March 10, 632 AD at a place called Ghadir Khumm in Saudi Arabia. He was telling this little but fully armed forces, against unarmed and defenceless civilians of course, that his political opponents were, and are, acting against Iran's national interests. A pious deception by a self-righteous person who last year dared to stand against the will of tens of millions of Iranians whom peacefully tried to retake their country back at the ballot boxes. But what he did was not only an election-coup but also a display of his inability to digest the reality of the real-time Iran. On the eyes of those millions; he is irrelevant. He is angry about that. The anger reflects on his further arrogant threats against people.
Whilst he and his co-culprits are extremely worried about the potential people's reactions to future ramifications of the UN-US sanctions and the danger it may pose to their illegitimate authority, they moved this year ceremony to a remote small area out of Tehran. Their purpose was to force a very small number of Basijis, probably in hundreds or thousands, into a closed area in front of their own cameras, taken photos and films purportedly showing a large numbers of fervent disciples. However, this kind of political gimmicks will no longer fool anyone in or out of the country; they only further prove that how desperate their situation is. Needless to mention, this regime has been in the business of feeding photoshop created photos and/or manipulated films to the outside world for years. I would not be very wrong if I explain their business as of the necessity of compensating steady drop in their popularity due to Iran's demographic changes during the last 15 years at least. As the population of young educated Iranians grew so did the numbers of whom ridicules his nonsense authority. That was exactly what he met last year on streets of Iranian cities.
Nonetheless, and regardless of their desperate manipulative attempts, to see the uncertainty of his shaky holding to power, one only needs to read between the lines of his remarks this week. "Our outside enemies were happy to see people protesting on streets and now they are trying to help them out", he said. He was referring to the sanctions and the following pressures for a democratic Iran in which human rights are protected. An Iran where there is no prisoners of conscious. An Iran where law rules. An Iran where there is no arbitrary arrest. An Iran where there is no torture. An Iran where there is no extra judicial killing. But the fact that he is an alien to all of these was depicted on those barbaric bashing; torturing to death; and the killing of peaceful Iranians last year. It further illustrates his incapability of appreciation of Charles Darwin teaching some 150 years ago that human beings need adaptation and variation in order to survive new times and circumstances.
But the good news for the Iranians and the outside world is that he and his co-culprits are nervous. They are worried about the unknown. That is the unknown results of would-be devastating economic sanctions against him, his generals and his close associates; the mafia which controls over 80% of the country's economy.
Now such a little guy in Iran walks around the region and world spending billions of dollars of Iran's money, belonged to the Iranian people, on terrorist or alike organizations just to inflate his feeble image and claim his credential in the Shiite Islamic world. However, scholarly, he is effectively nobody in the Shiite Islamic world. He is nowhere close to the prominent Shiite scholars such as Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in Iraq, or of the Lebanon's late Sayyad Mohammad Hussein Fadl-Allah, or even many other Ayatollahs in Iran. Yet he self-declared himself the World Shiite Muslim Leader. In that sense he is pretentious too.
World has got nothing to be worried about this guy, his ability or his co-culprits in Iran or his terrorists networks around the region or elsewhere. Internally, they are weak and vitally vulnerable against the Iranian people. Externally, all terrorists groups they have been, and are, supporting are living on the monies coming from Iran's oil and gas fields. If you hit an octopus' head; his arms are of no use!
