Khamene'i loves Ahmadinejad and Twitters from Iran

Submitted by LindaK (United States), Jun 14, 2009 at 02:25

Khamene'i loves Ahmadinejad. The latter has successfully gotten away with a nuclear weapons program, clamped down and enforced strict Islamic rule, achieved Sunni-Shia cooperation in some theaters, and expanded Iran's sphere of influence. And they are of the same apocalyptic philosophy. Iran is also reaching out to China now -- China will drill for oil. Maybe they intend to dump Russia.

Someone posted these twitters from Iran that might be of interest (consider the source).

These are from http://twitter.com/tehranelection

I have to shut down for a bit, the police are looking for satellites

My Father has a truck load of ballot boxes that were to be burned in the back of his truck.

Holly shit, be back in a second.

The TV is still playing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad victory clips.

The government has turned the power off in many locations claiming we need to fix some grid ??? Yeah, right!

sirens are now heard....now sure what they are.

They were told to do their jobs and speak nothing.

My uncle tells me that throughtout most cities Mahmoud Ahmadinejad people had ballot boxes burned.

Normal internet access and phones are still out.

The people and police are just talking.

Right now things are peaceful in my street.

My brother just got home and he told me riots are starting in northeast Tehran.

On my street, the crowd is pushing the police to the side.

The police are telling people to get off the street and go home

Several other cities are reporting voter fraud.

I'll post it when I can.

I'm filming the street with my camera

The TV has been reporting a national victory for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

It is 4:00 am here and people are filling the street.

I'm looking out my window and people are starting to fill the street.
