We just posted a video of the protests that are inspired by the Iranian currency collapse.
Iran's currency, the Rial, is collapsing due to economic mismanagement and in part oil sanctions that are starting to bite.
So how bad is it?
Journalist Reza Asadi posted this chart showing how many Rial it takes to buy a dollar over the last 70 days.
You can see the number's gone bananas.
Note that on the Persian Calendar it's the year 1391.
We are in for the same in the USA no matter who wins in November.
Be prepared.
The Mullahs have the guns. They don’t give a rip about the Rial, just Allah.
So, given Obama’s track record in the “Arab Spring”, will the Obama regime give covert support to the Iranian rebels or Ahmaheadjob’s government?
Yep......
Hmm, interesting. Can’t think of another example where sanctions were even partly to blame for hyperinflation and currency collapse.
If things get bad enough with the Iranian populace that they start turning on their government, and the government starts feeling threatened, watch for the Iranian government to pull out all stops to redirect the populace's wrath away from the government and towards Israel and the U.S. by launching attacks that will pull Israel and us into an armed conflict with Iran, all the while telling the populace that it's those dirty Joos and the Great Satan that are to blame for their currency debasement and misery. JMO.
And our braindead moron totus will do absolutely NOTHING won’t even say a word in support of the antimullahs people in Iran and this will all be a replay of the aborted Green Revolution a few years ago in Iran.....
Same crap, different year....
All Obama would have had to do is make a statement....
And people think obama is NOT a muslin.......Idiots, all of them in the MSN......
Meanwhile a ton of young people sick of living in the hell of a theocratic state will be killed via Democide and totus will do absolutely NOTHING because his handler Valerie Jarret told him not to....
Inconceivable!
Ben Bernanke can print Rials? Who knew??
0bama will aid the Islamist Regime, just like he did last time there was an uprising.
Islamist can count on Hussein for his support. See Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Libya, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.
no ??? then they must not have been infidels...
another oct surprise to ratchet up the ‘patriotic, rally round the flag’ bump for the bambam ??? seems that the middle east is about to go boom...
Going nuclear and destroying Israel rank higher than their own people’s welfare. That tells you all you need know about radical Islam. Thanks, Jimmy.
Obama will just be a logarithmic degradation.
Instead of helping those opposing the Iranian government, 0bama's regime will be studying how they put down the protests.
The enforcers of the regime are the basij, who operate as "morality police" and deal with people who speak out against the regime. They are recruited and locally controlled by the clerics of the local mosques. Their role is to enforce Islamic orthodoxy. Most are recruited from the rural poor. They serve as the regime's way to keep the educated middle class on a leash. Visualize if Obama had recruited the underclass here, and made them official "Guardians of Homeland Security", with the legal power to arrest and beat up anti-government elements.
It looks like their currency is on a long slide. When the regime loses the ability to pay the basiji with money that actually buys anything, the regime loses its ability to stay in control of Iran.
This is our future if Obozo remains president. Eventually the national debt will be monetized which will lead to hyperinflation and a military dictatorship to tame civil unrest.
