What is clear is that the firm grip of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp is complete. The Coup President is their frontman. But, what is quite gratifying is how the people continue to resist. Such resistance continues on in subtle ways. The State Broadcaster's viewership is apparently down by almost 40%. The economy seems to have grinded to a halt. Not withstanding the "happy talk" of unity and continuity, the reality seems to be different. There is also the sanctions that are starting to bite too. How long this farce will continue to go on is another question.
As the comedy show that is Iran's Government continues on, there is the continued psychological war on the opposition. I nearly fell off my chair when I read that Mohammad Ali Abtahi, the former Vice President and leading opposition figure, was allowed to write on his weblog from prison!!! I'd love to see what Jon Stewart makes of it all.....
