February 3rd 2010: Iranian Show Trials of Dissidents -The West is largely silent

On the 30th of January, 16 more opposition activists were been put on trial in Tehran in connection with post election protests in late December. All of the accused were arrested after clashes between protesters and security forces on Ashura Day, the Shi'ite ritual mourning ceremony, on Dec. 27. The Iranian regime has arrested an estimated 4,000 people, including journalists and reformist politicians, in a massive crackdown in the weeks following the presidential election.

According to Radio Free Europe five of the defendants are accused of being "mohareb" (enemies of God) and "corrupt on earth." Both are crimes punishable by death under the Iranian legal system, which is based on Islamic Shari'a law.
The rest are accused of "gathering and conspiring against security, propaganda against the system, and seeking to harm security by inciting unrest and riot."

Last week two dissidents- Mohammad Reza Ali Zamani and Arash Rahmani Pour were hanged in an effort to bludgeon the opposition into submission. They were convicted of being enemies of God and plotting to topple the Islamic regime. Arash Rahmani Pour's father who is a lawyer publicly denounced the execution as unjust and the court proceedings as a sham.

Two top Iranian opposition leaders-Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hossein Moussav-i have called on supporters to protest on February 11, the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Today Iran has launched a rocket into orbit carrying what state-owned Al-Alam television describes as an "experimental capsule". Western politicians have focussed on this event and made threatening noises. Sadly they have failed to pressurise Iran on its show trials. Once more the West has been found wanting. It is interesting to see that there are no Western threats directed at the Iranian regime for its appalling human rights record.

Video: Huge Fireball Over Co. Meath, Ireland-February 3rd 2010

RTE reports the following:

Astronomy Ireland says a major fireball was spotted over Ireland at around 6pm this evening.
It says the rock from space was seen blazing in the air by people all over the country.
There are reports that the fireball has landed in a field near Crimlin in Co Cavan.
Astronomy Ireland says it is unlikely to have injured anyone as it would have slowed down when it hit the atmosphere.
Valentia Coastguard said it has had reports of sightings from people living in Mullingar, Limerick, Ballybunion and Bantry.

On Facebook NightSky.ie reported : "It was seen blazing in the air by people all over the country and would have been traveling with the force of a small nuclear weapon. It is likely it has landed inland, but it is unlikely to have injured anyone. Although traveling at high speed when it was spotted, it would have slowed as it hit the atmosphere."

Video: Rep. Jeb Hensarling discusses Obama's astronomical budget and deficit figures

President Obama challenged Rep. Jeb Hensarling facts on House Republican budget priorities verses Democrat budget priorities, essentially accusing him of telling untruths. Here Rep. Jeb Hensarling sets the record straight and blows a hole in Obamas budget and deficit figures. He also exposes the appalling record -on spending -of the Democrat controlled Congress

Question: “How did you arrive at the conclusion that what were the old annual deficits under Republicans have now become the monthly deficits under Democrats? And what is the back-up?”

Answer: “Well, either the President misunderstood the point or he just hasn’t been well informed. If you look at the 12 years when Republicans controlled the Congress, the average annual deficit was about $104 billion.(average of final deficit/surplus FY2008 and 2009 data taken from Table F-1; FY2010 data taken from Table 1-3). Source: CBO January 2010 Budget and Economic Outlook. I’m not proud of that number. That’s too high. But in the three years that Democrats have controlled Congress, the average annual deficit is now $1.1 Trillion. Do the math… But when it comes to spending we’re rank amateurs compared to these guys.”
