Our beloved monarchists, currently under strict order by their neocon masters to build a coalition, have gathered again in muggy south Florida this weekend to figure out how best to stab their people in the back and bring about the rule of their darling Knight, Prince Reza Pahlavi.
The rumor mill's "ears" at the event reports: our monarchists seem extremely excited about the "two antenna" television station they are promised with dual broadcasting ability from Iraq and Afghanistan (why don't we send some troops to invade Azarbaijan and give them a third antenna too?). They also listened to speaker after speaker telling them how the mullah's government is a "house of cards", ready to fall and how the Iranian people will rise and support their cause as soon as they emerge. Tabarzadi (leader of a student coalition inside Iran) is a hot topic in reference to "coalition building", so is the trio of former intelligence ministry officials recently defecting to the west and present at the gathering. A new declaration by Iranian opposition to support a republic (as opposed to a monarchy) has been brought up more than once or twice.
Supposedly there may have even been a rift between Rob Sobhani and some of Reza's close associates, I doubt "Rob" is even aware of the mess he has stepped into. Lastly, some "delegates" didn't show up at all, still upset at inviting some anti-monarchy activists to the last meeting in DC.
I wonder if I start checking my visitor's IP's I may find more than a few visitors with Miami connections this week. Then again, some of these guys are known to still live in a frozen time capsule, stuck somewhere around 25 years ago, so they may not be too familiar with the internet or web logs, not to mention cell phones, PDA's or reality television.
