"Nobody can overthrow me. I have 700,000 troops, all the workers and most of the people. Wherever I go, there are fantastic demonstrations of support." - Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran, July 1978 ... Continue reading »
Once again it begins. The great farce and grand illusion that is the Iranian Presidential election. If you read the Iranian Constitution it's painfully obvious.

The new Kiosk documentary "Kiosk, A Generation Destroyed By Madness" is a wonderful behind the scenes peek into one of our best rock bands.
