The Secrets of Khamenei's Life - Part 3

Mohsen Makhmalbaf

Khamenei's residences
[Islamic Republic founder Ruhollah] Khomeini's residence in Jamaran (NB Neighborhood in northern Tehran) was 200 square meters. Khamenei's main residence on Pasteur Street measures 1,200 square meters. (This 1,200-square-meter residence is the only one that everyone knows about).

Tens of thousands of DVDs should be copied and circulated--sliding them under doors if night if necessary.  It would be even better if BBC, PBS or "60 Minutes" did a special on it.

Imagine the possible slogans:

"Islamic rule made Khamenei a billionaire"

"While you go payless, Khamenei's is now worth $37 billion." 

 "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

 "Khamenei has $37 billion.  What have you got?"
