3. Apparently that Russian corporate/state media outlet wants the hardliners to stay in power.
They're betting on it and by attributing popular discontent over election fraud in Iran to western sources, the Russians believe they will have an advantage with Bush Jr. of Iran's government.

2. Of Course
The Neocons didn't just spend the last 8 years hemming in Iran on both sides with Iraq and Afghanistan just to see it go to waste because we have a democratic President. The Neocons have been messing their collective pants, trying to foment a war, to get control of the middle-eastern oil and the pipeline routes. This all a political master plan. Dammit! Don't fall into the trap DU of beautiful dead college women or $3,ooo.oo bullets for dead family members. It's all designed to infuriate and influence your emotional recoil. Stay calm it's dupe.

4. Exactly ...
Simply apply the observable 'violent resistance vs Non-violent resistance test' = The difference between our USA non-violent protest method versus the msm & shill blogger fed Iran hype ...

5. I don't know about the Madsen commentary, but Roberts was correct in his attribution
of CIA involvement in destabilization of Iran for the past two years. We heard about that when Cheney was trying to ramp up for bombing the Iranians. That's part of the PsyOps agenda of our CIA/military intelligence units, and has been for decades.

How that destabilization effort has played out in this post-election scenario is yet to be seen. But I did find it odd that so many of the demonstrators for the first few days of the protests were carrying very nicely-made signs in English.
