6-30-09 Iran Update: Nationwide Strike Looms, Large Sums of Cash Leaving Iran, EU Threatens To Pull Ambassadors

TheEuropean Union is threatening to pull all of their Ambassadors out of Iran unless the Iranian Government releases those UK embassy staff that have been accused of taking part in the protests.

As protests have continued in Iran, Twitter’s from Iran are reported that when the General Counsel ruled the election fair, people took to the streets in protest. The shouts of Allah Akbar were said to have been so loud, it was difficult to hear. Additionally, telephone and internet services were out in many parts of Tehran today and there is a call for a national strike tomorrow.

Should the nation protest and stay home, that would spell disaster for the regime. For the last week Twitters have noted that large sums of money have been leaving Iran since the protests over the election began. An article regarding the current situation with Iran’s Stock Exchange and economic realities based on abusing the populace, and money leaving the country points to a change in regime:

Perhaps even more damning for the regime is where the money is leaving from. By amounts of up to $10 million at a time, it is the Islamic elite that are withdrawing their money. Clearly this shows that even within the Islamic elite, there is a belief that the current situation has reached a point where significant change is unavoidable.

The fact that currency is leaving the country has been confirmed by the New York Times, crediting sources in Europe. The entire world is aware of what is happenning to the people of Iran - especially when conservative (sources) left-leaning, New York Times jumps on board.

Like it or not, we live in interesting/perilous times & it seems that "significant change" is going to be unavoidable in many parts of the world.

Whether mankind emerges from the chaos more free or more subjugated, the thirst for freedom is eternal. "They" are vastly outnumbered &, when the people's fear turns to anger, freedom will almost always prevail.

Don't bother wondering where the money is going, we are still looking for the billions that US left in Iraq. So, the 10M here or there is a drop in the bucket!!!!

Stop Psyc Op misinformation or half baked reports from "Europian Sources", they are the same bunch that found the yellow cake and big tubes, right?

Namvet, excellent comment - agreed - fear does turn to anger - and freedom does prevail - it takes time - look at the American Revolution - the quest for freedom took years.

Anonymous - the "half-baked" from "European Sources" came from the New York Times - as to comparing Iran to Iraq - that is absurd - the money that is leaving Iran is different in that it is a question of who is moving their money out (elite Iranians) - it isn't missing. Lastly, there is no U.S. government involvement in Iran in this instance - other than the concern from individual U.S. Citizens for the safety and freedom of the Persion people.
