Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “has become a hostage” of an elite branch of Iran’s army that has quietly consolidated its economic and political power, a top analyst said Tuesday.
 
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) appears to have supplanted Khamenei and other top clerics in a significant power shift that has left Iran a “military dictatorship,” according to Ali Alfoneh, who has spent years investigating the IRGC.
 
Khamenei “has become a hostage in the hands of his own praetorian guard,” Alfoneh said Tuesday during a discussion hosted by the American Enterprise Institute.
 
The mainstream media isnt reporting on this.  I suspect there is indeed a power struggle going on in Iran.  Probably because of sanctions on them among other things.  -Mort

  • Just a shot in the dark, based on a feeling and not much more, I readily admit that I could be wrong, and I shall modify my opinion upon receiving additional info, there has been a tactical shift, the new strategy is an urgent full court press of the entire MSM (the well oiled, but not well designed, staffed, managed, or maintained propaganda machine) to find ANY excuse a large enough part of the population will accept, no matter how false or improbable, to start a war with Iran, Syria, and/ or North Korea…

    • Exactly, like a cornered Dangerous Animal (Obama) and his Evil regime will Lash out to get a Crisis started and go from there. We wait and we Watch.

      • Agree – highly likely.

      • idiot. Obama is the only thing holding the zionist neocons back from another war. if they had their way-US would be bombing for Israel YESTERDAY.

        its the zionist agents that are at the root of all these war trends- that includes Ahmedinejad who is Iranian JEW. everything out of his mouth makes Iran look crazy, hateful and justifies attack on “antisemitic” Iran. now i guess he is moving into internal destabilization for a tactic.

    • this story originated with London Daily Mail, complete with photos etc

    • Not much different then how they got themselves into all the others wars, WW1- 2 and so on. Either instigate an attack big enough to get the people themselves frothing at the mouth to go to war or let attacks happen to get the people to again beg for a war instead of being pushed into it.

      Also the divide and conquer always works well and we can see the divisions all over working away hard at their jobs. Then you swoop in as either the savior of the remaining people or you smash the remaining people depending on the agenda at work.

      Sending in sickness or cutting off food supplies are also widely used methods. Sanctions are our modern day version of cutting off supply routes. Let them starve and sicken then sooner they will give up or be easily beaten.

      These are tried and tested methods of war that have been used for eons. It is a ghastly business and technology has just made it easier to spread around the misery that much faster and on a much bigger scale. When we give up it entirely then we will know we have grown as humans, as it is we are apes with fun toys.

    • Khamenei the big leader of iran was in the opening of book exhibition today in tehran at Mosala

  • Having trouble believing this since even Fox isn’t reporting it.

    • Yes, but if a tree falls in the forest, and FOX doesn’t cover it, did it really fall?
      :wink:

    • Just because FOX doesn’t report on it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. FOX is subject to many of the same “incentives” not to report as the more liberal msm. FOX hides behind Conservatism by reporting more Conservative points of view than the liberal msm, but they ALL water at the same trough.

      • Isn’t FOX owned by a muslim arab?
        Also, despite the politics of some other media news, FOX also has not mentioned the case where 4 judges allowed perjury in court to kick someone out illegally without a jury. Yet, proof of it is on sites like http://stillsupremelyunjust.yolasite.com — court documents prove it’s true.

    • Sakeeta

      BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    • I agree. This story needs confirmation. I would add that one story here does not a truth make.
      I also subsribe to a Isreali news site to try and get a non-American point of view and they don’t say anything about it.
      Anyone else?
      :eek:

  • The Blueprint for WWIII
    And this also is why we see Class warfare being used to divide the support structure of an Independent Society in the USA …..

    How can this point to a Obama Administration policy that supports Economic Equality for all Americans ?

    As ANTI-Economic growth the Number 1 Supporter of Obama are which are Environmental Organizations , It would appear that Between foreign policy appeasement and now and attempt to appease with a Immigration reform bill thats all about selective appeasement as the bases of generating support and this being the bases for Populous politics instead of Free market economic Equality being the policy of this administration , it can be said that this is the fundamental driver for Volatility in the markets , so how does this become a policy that will sustain a adequate supply being produced by a civil society of Equality and those members of the society all benefiting when NOT ALL members of the society have Portfolios in a Fake Stock market rally that is generated from a Federal Reserve Fake Money Injection that Only Appeases the Environmentalists due to the lack of true Durable supply side growth ???

    ALL THESE LINKS SHOW ARE SUPPLY SHORTAGES ON THE HORIZON BECAUSE ALL THE FUNDING FROM THESE POLICIES OF APPEASEMENT OUR LACKING TRUE SUPPLY GROWTH TO BACK UP THE MONETARY GROWTH GOING OUT THE DOOR TO APPEASE THESE FACTIONS !!!!

    Exclusive–-Sessions: Immigration Bill Gives Amnestied Residents ‘Immediate’ Access to Welfare
    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/04/29/Exclusive-Immigr
    BUT Here Obama Isolates the US Minorities because you cannot take only so much from some to redistribute to those you are seeking to appease for voting support ….It would make more sense to grow the wealth effect with expanding supply and Jobs doing so , but remember then Obama and the democrats would lose the Environmentalist Support !!!
    Wealth Gap Among Races Has Widened Since Recession
    http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/29/business/racial-wealth-gap-widene

    And this just shows the Appeasement policy using economic benefits that are designed to Appease both domestic and foreign radical factions that pose national security threats , again something that true economic durable supply side growth would do a better job of accomplishing this but Democrats and Obama would again Lose the support of the Environmentalist Community !!!

    Tsarnaev family received $100G in benefits , How many in these factions of society are benefiting this way ??? http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2013/04/tsarnae

    The Obama Administrations Policies are Unsustainable and Market Volatility will continue and produce a Peak effect in supply versus debt .

  • What a f#^ktard. Khamenei is theSupreme Leader and Grand Ayatollah. Ahmadinejad is the president, soon to be replaced by elections at the end of his last term. :razz:

  • I could have sworn that Ahmadinejad was president.

    • the Swede

      Me to .

      • I also believed he was the leader pf his nation, maybe elections were held, and we didn’t know?

  • GK

    Nothing actually reported here aside from an analyst’s assessment of a possible situation – no hard proof or fact whatsoever. I call BS.

  • This is like saying Obama has been arrested as is being held by the secret service. That is indeed a picture of Ahmadinejad, the President, not Khamenei. Don’t you think GUS would be all over this to trumpet how unstable the Iranian regime is and we need to go in there before some wack jobs get ahold of their weapons of mass destruction?

  • no one with any gumption at all relies on fox for their news any longer…and for people to be so easily ‘set off’ by a comment pertaining to fox’s reliability is somewhat amusing… its so clear that the response made was shilling to take the focus away from the point being made… these guys show up everywhere there is a substantial story being reported

  • Having trouble believing this since even Fox isn’t reporting it.

    ???Whaaaaaaaaaat????

    • I believe the poster of this remark simply neglected to use the sarcasm font in his reply.

  • Who knows? At any rate, it does not matter much, as Ahmadinejad, Khamenei and their clique have shamefully censored 9/11. They could have summarily nullified continued U.S. threats against them by simply asking their schools/mosques/TV to teach the self-evident terrorist controlled demolition of the twin towers. Yet, instead they have spent years shedding crocodile tears over U.S. and Zionist hostility against them.

    Assuming the allegations in the article are true, untrustworthy leaders will be replaced. This will be interesting news, but worthy of little action.

    Love,

  • So, which one is it? You claim that it’s Iran’s Supreme Leader, who is Ali Khamenei. Yet you have a photo of Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

    Seriously. This is why it’s dangerous for non-journalists to pretend to be journalists.

  • what a load of…okay…

    first of all “Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei” is a religious leader, and not “officially” part of the government.

    second of all, the president of iran is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the man in the photo.

    third of all – if you even thought this story MIGHT be true, you’re hopeless.

    how does your brain even know how to make language?

  • My spidey senses jew bullcrap afoot!

  • One thing that is missing in this story. Is a picture of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei shot & dead! You know like the one showing Assad shot & killed by his bodyguard! :wink:

  • it amazes me how mort is determined to continue to destroy all his credibility at every opportunity

    • You know, I’ve been thinking the same thing for about a week or so…

  • Why you talk about Khamanei when you have a picture shown of Ahmadinehad? That’s BLATANT DISINFO. Further than that though, this “coup” against Khamanei is a hoax. He’s still in de facto command. This is merely a means to divorce him from responsibility for whatever is about to happen. So, he’ll still be making the decisions, but there will be a fall guy available for him to scapegoat as the culprit when everything goes as disastrously horrible as they have planned, in conspiracy with the globalist banksters that own Khamanei AND Ahmadinejad.

  • who the HELL else is reporting this??? i am supposed to believe this, why? because it is posted on this VERY well know, and respected site? I mean, what the hell?

  • Khamanei is NOT the President, he is supreme leader.
    the jew- Ahmedinejad, is President and controls Iran via IRGC and basij.

  • Nope, Sorry but i am not buying this one

  • HAARPY

    Is anyone else getting this?
    The U.S. is thinking of helping out the Syrian “rebels”, Iran supports Assad, there may have been a military coup in Iran…..

  • Coupe are all made by the help and cooperation of the Pentagon and CIA. They would do anything to start another WAR for the BANKS!

  • That does not look like Gilligan to me ??? :lol:

  • WTF is everyone talking about here? there have been multiple sources reporting ahmadinejad’s arrest as well as speculation of the military gaining control. looks to me like mort happens to be the only one who was reporting it on BIN.

  • ah, i see that others had also..

  • What a bunch of nonsense. None of this is true, why would anyone believe this or 80% of what’s reported here. Also, to the guy who said Obama is trying to start a war; are you nuts? Obama has pulled us out of both of Bush’s wars, including the one that was started for no legitimate reason. Obama has done everything to keep us
    OUT of a war since taking office. He’s been a good president, those who don’t like him didn’t like him before he took office. An office that was a complete mess because of the former president.

  • he was in the opening of book exhibition today in Mosala , don’t know where you get your news?

  • the picture isn’t the president…and this is total BS
