“The only happy note of the meeting was the unseen freedom with which young girls and boys, most of them dressed very westernly, meaning almost not Islamic, were sitting next to each other, chanting and clapping hands, while groups of young dancers of both sexes were performing modern and old Iranian dances. The rest was a flop, from the number of the people Ahmadi Nezhad’s team had been able to mobilize to his speech, which contained nothing new expect that he did not mentioned the name of Mr. Rahim Masha’i, who was supposed to be the real hero of the show”, noted one young man, not hiding his anger.
But considering the strong opposition of the Judiciary, the military, the police, the security forces and some leading clerics to the meeting, the reason behind the absence of Rahim Masha’i and the announce of his candidacy by the President might be the result of an accord passed secretly between him and Khameneh’i to let the meeting be held on time”, according to other observers.
In fact, from an obedient President executing every wishes of his master, Ali Khameneh’i, who had ordered all the institutions in charge of elections, like the Interior Ministry and the Council of the Guardian of the Constitution as well as the powerful Revolutionary Guards to bring out from the ballot boxes the name of Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadi Nezhad, the Mayor of Tehran, as the winner.
But
with the approach of the end of his mandate next June, Mr. Ahmadi Nezhad, “the
beloved son” who’s views are more close to me than those of Mr. (Ali Akbar)
Hashemi Rafsanjani (the former president who, immediately after the death of
Rouhollah Khomeini, the real leader of the Islamic revolution of 1979 and the
founder of the Islamic Republic, had orchestrated the election of Ali Khameneh’i
as the new Guide of the revolution and the regime), had turned to a real opponent
of his boss, not only challenging openly his “divine” powers, but also threatening
that if the candidacy of Mr. Rahim Masha’i was rejected, as it is expected to
be by the Council of the Guardians, which is controlled by Mr. Khammeneh’i and
is in charge of accepting or rejecting
the legitimacy of every candidate to any elections in the Islamic Republic
because of the open hate of the Guide for Mr. Rahim Masha’i, he would unleash
hundreds of thousands of his supporters in the streets of the Capital and other
main cities.
Other major ‘winning card” at the hands of Mr. Ahmadi Nezhad is the “hundreds
and hundreds” of secret documents he and his friend, Rahim Masha’i, have
obtained from secret files of the Interior and Intelligence ministries
concerning huge corruption cases involving the very person of the Leader, his family,
his close entourage, leading clerics, high ranking Revolutionary Guards
officers and particularly Mojtaba, his second son considered as the most
powerful man after his father who had organized the savage, brutal crushing of
the 2009 popular demonstrations of millions of people protesting against the overnight
changing of the 25 millions of votes in favor of Mr. Mir Hosseyne Moussavi, the
first Prime minister of the regime against the 14 millions for Mr. Ahmadi
Nezhad.
According
to many Iranian political observers, those are those “dangerous files” that
that keeps Khameneh’i, the man known for his egoism, narcissism and hate, quiet.
“Without
these poisonous documents against Khameneh’i, Ahmadi Nezhad knows that not
being among the inner circles of the system like former president Hashemi
Rafsanjani or Mohammad Khatami, he would loose his head or finish in Evin
prison for the rest of his life. His plan for survival is simple: Apply the
Poutine-Medveedev process with Rahim Masha’i to keep himself and his band in
power for several more years”, comments Dr. Kourosh Erfani, the new Director-Manager
of the popular Farsi-language “Andished TV” based in Los Angeles.
“Although Ahmadi Nezhad proved that he can bring many people out, but nonetheless,
the meeting was sour, it’s negative result was very good news for his enemies. In
fact, they realized that contrary to what they had feared, he has not the
capability of mobilizing hundreds and hundreds of thousands people, as he had
pledged, that his guns have no powder and therefor they can destroy him, starting
by rejecting the candidacy of Rahm Masha’i, in case he enters the race”, said
Dr. Bizhan Eftekhari, a leading Iranian economist based in Los Angeles and
co-founder of the Auto-Emancipators Organization with Dr. Erfani.
And
in fact, the first salvo was fired two days ago by Mr. Qolamalai Haddad Adel,
the father of Mojtaba’s wife, a former Speaker of the Majles and one of the “2+1
Coalition” made of him, Dr. Ali Akbar Velayati, a former Foreign minister and
the Leader’s major advisor for international affairs as well as General
Mohammad Reza Qalibaf, a Norht Korea trained pilot who is currently Mayor of
Teheran. “The government of Ahmadi Nezhad has done things which have made mad
all of us”, he said, addressing a crowd of symathisers.
“All these events would benefit Mr. Hassan Rohani, the outsider who has
become the very possible winner of the nextelections. In case he become
president, as it seems he should be able to get the final approval of Khameneh’i
and to solve the thorny problem of Iranian nuclear program with the
international community”, said Mr. Eftekhari.
