Is This Something? Maybe, But It Is Unrest Amongst The Ruling Class, And That Sounds Like It Is Something

Report: Ex-Iranian president Ahmadinejad arrested for inciting unrest: "According to Arab paper, former leader's comments against Rouhani government amid rallies have led authorities to seek to place him under house arrest"

The newspaper said that Ahmadinejad, during a visit to the western city of Bushehr on December 28, said, "Some of the current leaders live detached from the problems and concerns of the people, and do not know anything about the reality of society."
He supposedly added that Iran was suffering from "mismanagement" and that the government of President Hassan Rouhani "believes that they own the land and that the people are an ignorant society."

Oops! That's gonna leave a mark, and maybe earn him a bullet in the head. But anytime the rulers of a dictatorship squabble amongst themselves it is a very good thing.

And...Open Thread until something else turns up.

I don't think replacing the new crowd of mad mullahs with the old crowd of mad mullahs is an improvement.

16 Odd. Ahmadinejad was considered a weirdo, pro-nuke, super-Islamic, former hostage-taking American victim president.

17 Yeah, I'm not sure the return of the Dinner Jacket is an improvement.

Posted by: April at January 06, 2018 05:21 PM (e8PP1)

18 Ah, yes. I went wildly OT. Amadinnerjacket looks expendable. Maybe the mullahs need some executions that look like cleaning house.

21 This business with Imadingo speaking out and getting arrested is interesting.

What's the story here? Is he that far removed from the inside now? Is it just bs govt propaganda? Does our "intelligence community" know what's really going on?

Curiouser and curiouser.

24 I know the US has some covert "doorkickers", and "revolutionaries", involved. The new US administration, is game for an ass kicking flipping of the comfortable elite religious/fascist government.

Total MAGA.

25 Oh and after the revolution, we take out Ahmadinejad with an "avenue shot"

Posted by: Redenzo at January 06, 2018 06:16 PM (14qvS)

26 Could be a huge game changer in Iran. Would shift the entire balance of power. Exciting stuff.

I'm not seeing a downside to this.
