Hardliner stresses perfection of Iranian Supreme Leader (Yazdi)

Iranian hardliner, Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi defended himself against recent accusations that he is trying to uproot the Supreme leader by calling Ayatollah Khamenei the "symbol of truth" not only in Iran but also in the world. In a meeting with Basij students of Open University Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi said that Ayatollah Khamenei has no "weaknesses" and the history of his family is "without fault," because his children do not interfere in the "smallest political and economic matter."

Mesbah Yazdi continued his admiration of Ayatollah Khamenei saying that "sedition" will continue and to stop it "we must look onto the great source of light to see where it shines."
Recently AliAkbar Mohtashamipour, senior member of the reformist group, Association of Combatant Clerics accused Mesbah Yazdi of not even having faith in the Supreme Leader. Mohtashamipour intimated that Mesbah Yazdi is connected with a secret sect that has "nestled" in the Al-Ghadir Foundation and aims to cut the roots of the Leadership.
The international Al-Ghadir Foundation has branches in all of Iran's provinces as well as a number of other countries and its mission statement is to promote "principles of religious government."

Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi is one of the staunch proponents of fundamentalist Islam and the conservative faction of the Islamic Republic.

This is in response to http://www.roozonline.com/english/news/newsitem/article/2010/may/12//mesbah-yazdis-danger-for-khamenei.html Ali Akbar Mohtashamipour's third warning about the influence of the “Mesbahiyeh cult” in Iranian power structure.
He had warned before in 1385 and 1387 about the gradual infiltration of Meshab Yazdi and his close disciples into sensitive power centers in Iran.
Despite opposition from many figures close to ayatollah Khomeini, including ayatollah Tavassoli, Mehdi Karoubi, Mousavi-Tabrizi, Mohammad Khatami, and even verbal clashes between Hashemi Rafsanjani and Mesbah Yazdi over the latter's promotion of violence against political opponents, and Mesbah Yazdi's clear remarks about the insignificance of popular votes and the divine sovereignty of the supreme leader, Mesbah Yazdi's disciples have advanced so far into the Iranian power structure that his supporters and former students now occupy sensitive posts, particularly in the Islamic Passdaran Revolutionary Guards Corps, Basij and the police.

Ahmadinejad said on Thursday that he expects the government which follows his to be “ten times more revolutionary.”

Is this what he is referring to?

I hope that this group in Texas http://www.alghadeer.org/ has no connection to the Iranian Al-Ghadir Foundation.

The International Alghadir Foundation, an organization headed by Abolghassem Khazali, describes its objective as “promotion of the ideology of religious government.”

Over 40 of Iranian professors, seminary teachers and government executives are amongst Alghadir’s Board Members.

Alghadir is also active in Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, India and the United Arab Emirates.

More about the son of Khamenei and Khazali:

The third link between Mojtaba Khamenei and the paramilitary groups is Hassan Taeb, the current commander of the Basij. A hardliner and cleric, he is also linked with Mesbah Yazdi and his followers.

So through these three links — Ayatollah Aziz Khoshvaght, Brigadier General Mohammad Hejazi and Hassan Taeb — Mojtaba Khamenei is connected with the forces that crack down on protesters and demonstrators. Though little is officially known about the political views of Mojtaba Khamenei, it would not be a stretch to put him in the radical right-wing camp hellbent on advancing the agenda of extremists such as Mesbah Yazdi and Khazali to establish the so-called Islamic government, as opposed to an Islamic Republic, where the views and votes of the people matter.

Mojtaba has always been around the ultraconservatives. He has been educated by them, and has been close to radical right-wing groups. He has had close friendships with notorious figures such as Saeed Emami, and reactionaries such as Mesbah Yazdi, Khazali and Kharrazi. He is known to be fiercely opposed to the reform movement and its leaders.

Well, it appears that they could outdo their nemesis MEK with their own lunatic cult.

That’s the bad thing about lunatic cults, they can
always get crazier and generally do.
