Yes.

Bullies don't care about things such as logic, evidence, dialogue. Force allows them to be lazy, careless. Their achilles heel.

Ahmedinejad is using the same method of persistent repetition. Only he can control press and communications.

Maybe they should find a way to put banknotes through a printer, so you can print a whole news-story on them, in stead of just a slogan. Also faster method if you want to cover all banknotes..
Not going to get into the political stuff there. But I think it's a lot easier to convince people of stuff going on elsewhere that they have no idea about, then something going on in front of you.

Anyway, I'm thinking that with crashes happening so often in Iran, no one is believing him.

I must say, Green Briefs have introduced a unique problem to my life... Since I started reading them I cannot stand the traditional media sources (like CNN, NBC, etc.) for one second. And so I have a hard time following anything that may be happening. Other then the Green Wave of course..

Thank you for continuing to post these updates. I copy them and repost them were others can see, with the link to the site so hopefully I'm getting at least one or two more people to come here.

Very. very true. I used to start my day and end my day with a quick browse of various news sites. Now, once I've read the GB for the day, I feel a bit starved for information. The MSM has lost so much credibility for me, if I do read a news story, I immediately look for confirmation now.

Yes, but he was the Information Minister. He was just doing his job. I'm not going to blame him for getting a little overenthusiastic when his entire field of employment is about to be erased from his nation.

I don't understand why Ahmedinejad would want to imitate him.

It's unbelievable - I have no clue what is going on in my own country, I have not listened to TV or even radio news for weeks. Well basically since they stopped reporting on Iran!
