Media Trends

[SAINT]

The Iran situation is now getting daily coverage across all media outlets and usually garners one of the top headlines of the day.

It feels like the pre-Iraq situation, where we were reminded daily of Saddam's oppressive regime and how western 'democracy' would save the day.

This is today's (of many) British link to Iran and Milliband is always waiting in the wings to stoke the 'courage of the freedom fighter' rhetoric, even though it's none of our business: http://news.uk.msn.com/world/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=151566229

Will 2010 be the fall of the Iran regime?

Let us hope so...

Is it God that puts these old preachers in power or is it simple people?

If Shariah law is Gods law than people should obey their teachers who no doubt apply Gods will.

Confused... you will be :cheesy::cheesy::cheesy:

Looks like they spotted those trends:

"Iran has banned its citizens from co-operating with foreign organisations it says are trying to destabilise the government, state media has reported.

The 60 blacklisted groups include human rights groups, Iranian opposition websites and media groups such as the BBC and US broadcasters.

Iran's deputy intelligence minister told Press TV the groups were involved in a "soft war" against the state."

I use/watch Press TV in order to 'balance up' the propoganda I'm constantly bombarded with in the UK on a daily basis...IMHO the Iran population is united behind their country, on a scale I'd suggest it's 80%, how many could state that of the UK, USA, France....?

Iranians are not stoopid the way UK and US of A citizens are, I read some startling facts re. the levels of US of A ignorance last week, 80% never read a book (that isn't a celeb bio.) after they leave school etc..., Iranians can look at a map in an atlas (maybe not Google maps) and they get it...

They see 300,000 troops on their border with Iraq, they see 100,000 others in Afhganistan, they understand the reasons for the deliberate mess created in Pakistan... they are penned in and being theatened like no other nation since arguably WW2 or previous empire building by maniacs. They know the real reasons behind the illegal occupation which we fail to discuss, it's a resource war re. energy security and continual delivery...

Their only hope in order to avoid 'being next' is Russian intervention, not diplomacy but actual intervention and an implict threat by Russia to the allies that "if you threaten Iran we move in to help them..."

The USA has been gunning for Iran for a very long time.

The media are playing their part, as expected, in the softening-up campaign.
The UK lapdog, on being given the command "jump" will merely ask "how high?".
