Document proves Khamenei and Iran regime authorities set to escape to Russia

I laughed so hard at this that my morning coffee almost shot out of my nose. I just love it when "secret documents" like this one come along. After a chummy "Salam aleykum" it  states that the Iranian revolutionary guards have prepared and done a "check up" on a secret airplane to take Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei and other high ranking officials out of Iran to Russia in case the situation there "gets of out control" -- all on official government letterhead, mind you! It even uses the word English word "checkup" spelled out in Farsi - apparently those Revolutionary Guards are very hip!

This reminds me so much of those bad spy movies in which the Evil Genius explains how he plans to execute a captured James Bond in an excessively elaborate manner (usually involving some sort of imaginative machine) in excrutiatingly unnecessary detail. Naturally James Bond naturally manages to somehow escape the death machine and frustrate the Evil Genius' plans to take over the world.

Frankly, those of us over 50 years can remember well how strong the Shah was in 1976 (check Youtube' Shah's interview with Mike Wallace, the visit by President Carter); less than 14 months the man who had over 700,000 as part of his military was having a hard time to find a place to live. The politics of Iran is different than any part of the worl. Don't be suprised if the Iranian leaders would be willing to buy any "surakhe mosh" for any price to hide. Knowing them, I assure you the Russia won't be the place to live - it is not modern enough.

I agree with the comic nature of such documents and I would also like to see a collection of them put together by someone, however, pls remember to include a section on the fake remarks by Iranian officials as well. Radan, inter alia, reminds me of Tariq Aziz when he kept on lying with a straight face on the last days of the dictator...

I could not agree more with Pirouz, although I would not limit the study to fabricated documents. I don't believe a damned word I read about Iran in any US corporate media. But even I cannot keep track of the multitude of lies that have become fact through repetition. Forged documents; misrepresentations about IAEA statements; hysterical reporting of any Iranian behavior; false or grotesuely exaggerated claims of Iranian involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan--and now Yemen, of course; the pathetic efforts to create Iranian martyrs for ostensible western values; the "wipe Israel off the map" trope; the mindless use of the same bogus "experts" (Albright); and on and on. A pattern of deception permeates the Iran story, but few have the time or education to expose it in full. The US media itself certainly is not about to, as its interests lie in perpetuating the shams and promoting cause for war. And it's getting worse--no doubt related to the Obamacon's end of the year "deadlines" for Iran to surrender. Somedays it seems there's three Judith Miller's on the Iran story for every one on who helped fabricate Iraq WMD.

We need an informed, methodical expose of all the major debunked frauds concerning Iran that continue to be repeated as fact in the press. And it must be accessible, written to persuade Americans of the need for each of us to risk reputation and livelihood, by acts of civil disobedience, to stop these flaming Zionist assholes before they nuke Iran and ignite the third and final world war.

And you know they are going to do it if they can.

you know I have lived in some countries where people can not believe there should be nations such as Iran who have never been colonised , I think this is the core problem about Iran as everyone is annoyed why Iran should not subjugate itself to the accepted world order ,
well, our ancestors did not believe in slavery( neither for us nor for anybody else)true Iranians must not accept being bullied, that is why they make those fake stories to justify(in their imagination) as if Iran belonged to any foreign power,

Great site, second visit and already hooked. The level of disinformation is now even surprassing Iraq. Really interested in learning much more about Iran but theres just far too much bogus information out there, any links would be helpful.

Will definately take a look at the books that you have recommended.

Couple of articles that you might be interested in :

The weary, fractious streets of Iran by Abbas Barzegar
The current violence in Iran does not inspire hope of popular revolution, but it may be the harbinger of nasty civil war

The trouble with Twitter by James Harkin
'In any case, since only a tiny number of Iranians use Twitter – a mere 0.027%, according to a forthcoming report from the British Council – it was never going to be much use in organising demos. In retrospect, our fascination with Twitter said much more about us than about them.'

It would be more appropriate to change policies, embrace change with an open heart, and have a cooperative nature, than to run.

I got a good laugh out of this, too.

Cyrus, you're good at this: you should put together a collection of all the fake official Iranian documents that surfaced during 2009, probably starting with that one from the Min. of Intelligence stating the "true" election results.

There's been so many of 'em!
