#2 Why were these tweets in English? Why were all of these profiles OBSESSED with Iran?

Uh, because English is our planetary language? Because there is an 'event' of international interest currently playing out in Iran? Bah, let's go back to the faked moon landing or Obama being the anti-Christ.

#3 Ok, and if they did - so what? You maybe expect the Israelis to be all solicitous of the folks who want to nuke them?

#4 Why were these tweets in English?

Because Twitter doesn't support Farsi.

#5 That moon landing was not faked by gum...saw the flag myself in the intro to Independence Day. Then again, Jeff Goldblum was in charge of a media organization in that film...

#6 I always do what Twitter tells me to do, and I'm sure the Iranians are rioting because they all got Twitter accounts and are doing what they are told. Therefore I am sure it is a Zionist plot. I'm surprised they didn't think of this before. /sarc

#7 I was astonished to click on a link to youtube on one of the tweets and see cell phone footage of chaos in Shiraz, which had burning stuff and lots of masked people walking around shouting "death to the dictator" and "we will kill those who killed our brothers". Yah, it was on youtube that I saw footage of the actual shooting of the 7 peeps at the basij post. Quite amazing and different that the reports in the media. After being shot at from the building for quite some time the crowd, which was not running away, erupts into cheers when someone throws a fire bomb at the building. Can't get more real than that. So I'm basically saying that this guy is an idiot and I wouldn't take his stock advice either.

#9 But, the hitler bit fits right in this thread!... Thus... showing that RB as spontaneously evolved into a fully formed IA!
The Singularity can't be far.

As for that guy, well, I love a good PCT, but find th emost compelling ones are those with a spiritual side - IE easier to accept the notion of a "NWO" if it's driven by mega-trends and ideologies, themselves pushed by spiritual forces (Principalities and such, rather by human puppeters. Would you REALLY rate kissinger as a viable, credible Power-behind-the-curtains???
Anyway, this conspiracy theory is very, very bad, because it's all about three guys in kippa twitting to harm those Misunderstood Mullahs, complete with the usual bit about israeli nukes. I guess the demos must be holograms.
Not that this would change things much, IIRC, the pasdarans have been called in, where the Chain-Swinging Bikers From Hell proved insufficient, "Elite Forces" shooting AK's into a crowd will do very fine.

Sorry, 'moose, but Britney was "destabilized" long before there was even the thought of Twitter.

As for the "stability" of Iran, that ended some 2500 years ago, with the death of Darius the Mede. The place has been a mess ever since.
