The Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which backs Totalitarian-Islamists like Hizballah and Al-Qaeda is now beginning to call the shots in Iran. They were the ones who back Ahmadinejad and pursued the crackdown. They are a terror organization, yet the progressive regime of Obama wants to be friends with them.
The shadowy Revolutionary Guards already oversee a 130,000-strong parallel army and run large swatches of Iran’s economy, from dentist clinics to the country’s controversial nuclear program. But signs have emerged in recent weeks that the élite military arm isn’t satisfied: it may just want to run the entire Islamic republic.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), or Sepah for short in Farsi, is widely believed to have played a large role in orchestrating the crackdown on political dissidents and protesters following the disputed presidential election. Its political influence within the regime has always far exceeded the actual army’s, and it has increased exponentially since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected to office in 2005. But the speculation among Iranian opposition sources is that, these days, the IRGC’s powerful patron — whose second term officially began last week — has now become its puppet, falling under the influence of a gang of security chiefs (the so-called New Right) that harbor schemes to further radicalize the regime or topple it in a military takeover.
Read the rest.
Time magazine, which is part of the Progressive Media Machine, calls them Rightwingers. This is an example of a Leftists smear. In reality, the IRG and the Iranian Regime is Totalitarian Progressive in nature. Yes, they are Progressives in an Islamic context. They believe in an elite who are wise, ruling the ignorant masses. While the Progressive message is Transnationalism, the Iranian regime’s message is Islam. the result is both systems are about controlling the populace.
No wonder Progressives support the Iranian regime. Birds of a feather, flock together!
