Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is personally behind the alleged fraud in the June 12 presidential election, former Iranian president Abolhassan Banisadr claimed in Vienna late on Monday.
"Khamenei ordered the fraud in the presidential elections and the ensuing crackdown on protestors," Banisadr said at a symposium marking the 20th anniversary of the murder of three Kurdish opposition leaders in Vienna.
"The regime is edging closer to the abyss and is holding on to power solely by means of violence and terror," said Banisadr, who was Iran's first elected president following the 1979 Islamic revolution.
The regime wanted to keep the population in a permanent state of uncertainty and fear and so systematic terror was institutionally organised and controlled by the regime and Khamenei, he added.
"They don't want Iranians to be able to even think about protests in their own homes."
Intellectuals and students were the main targets since they were regarded as the driving force behind the resistance, Banisadr continued. "Reformers and liberal pragmatists are to be wiped out."
Islam played almost no role any more in the ideology of the regime and was now simply used as a "justification for violence, lies and oppression," he said.
Khamenei and his "financial mafia are simply out for their own advantage", while the general population lived in poverty.
Banisadr was in Vienna for a symposium on the 1989 murders of three leading Kurdish opposition figures: Abdul Rahman Ghassemlou, Abdullah Ghaderi-Azar amd Fadel Rasoul.
Ghassemlou, the leader of the Democratic Party of Kurdistan - an Iranian opposition party outlawed by Tehran - was killed on July 13, 1989.
Bani Sadr was elected president in January 1980 soon after the previous year's Islamic revolution, but he was ousted by revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in June 1981.
Banisadr has lived in exile in France since 1981.
END TIMES “B” list ping.
Dear Lord, God,
Please bring those evil leaders crashing down into the pit they have dug for the innocent.
Cause every evil scheme of their’s to fall back in their own laps, on their own heads.
Cause the hunger for freedom and true righteousness to flower in Your will and deliverance through your Son, Jesus, Christ, Oh, Lord.
Protect the Christians you are giving dreams, visions and visitations of Jesus to in all the Muslim countries, please, Lord.
Remove all those involved in the election fraud doings from all positions of power ASAP, Oh, Lord.
Protect Israel, Oh, Lord.
In Jesus’ Name.

Notice how the Leftist react to criticism.
Thanks for the link.
Sobering, certainly.
Gee, ya THINK!!???
My suspicion is that an Obama aide is reading the story and taking notes “just in case”.
Nicola tells me there are many in the Republican Guard who are unhappy with doing violence against the Iranian people, but as yet are not ready to declare it openly. They would be happy to see a new Grand Ayatollah, that is a ‘Peoples’ Ayatollah, and not a murderous tyrant.
Thank you, wolfcreek. I hope everyone listens to this startling, horrific truth about euthanasia of a large percentage of our population, and Rham Emanulel’s quick disappearance before he can be questioned. It’s totally in line with Hitler’s plans and actions.
Agree! Amen! AMEN! A M E N !
Needs it’s own thread.
Thanks for your prayer of agreement and kind affirmation.

Yes, I think it does deserve it’s own thread but maybe with selected portions of the transcript heading the thread.
AND: Obama and his "financial mafia" are simply out for THEIR own advantage.
Birds of a feather are we?
