Who is this "angel of death"?, what can you inform us about him?

Ebrahim Raeisi, who was directly involved in mass execution of prisoners something like 30 years ago. he was one of the 4 judges who singed these "death sentences" after short trials. very short actually. took only few minutes.

 

he is a very dumb person actually, they knew he can't beat anybody, so they set everything for him to win a one horse race. President is #2 person here, not the one who has the ultimate power. but apparently the long term plan is to prepare him for that position.

hmm,. that's a long story, are you sure you want me to bore you with the details? :d

 

the 1979 revolution (or as we call it 1357 revolution) happened with the work of so many groups. including marxists, communists, liberals etc. but they all trusted Khomeini to put him in power. probably thinking he is a stupid old man and won't do much. but he outsmarted everybody and seized the power.

 

some of those groups started terrorist attacks. they killed so many high rank officials. including president, prime minister etc. some of them even joined Saddam Hussein's army during Iran-Iraq war. lots of them got killed during an operation when they penetrated the Iranian border but when Khomeini received the news he ordered these judges to "review" the case of everybody from these groups. I'm talking about prisoners. people who were in jail long before the war, who had nothing to do with the recent events. they were in jail because of minor crimes. just being a member of these groups (without doing anything specific) some of them were about to get released.

 

but in the "new trial" which took only 2 or 3 minutes for each person. Mr Raeisi and his friends sanctioned most of them to death. according to survivors the whole trial was about 3 or 4 quick questions (just to know if they still support those groups or not) and those prisoners didn't even know this is a new trial and one wrong answer means death penalty

You are very clear in the explanation, thanks, so the new Iranian president is who was a very important "hangman" of the past, its ironic but in positions where one can expect to find the most or one of the most qualified persons, there are mostly stupids, ambitious, murders etc........and that happens in most of the countries, most of the times.

 

@LDOG I presume you laugh because you cant say nothing, when you have in importants positions to people like Verbitsky, Garre etc and your group of fanatics call them "The Campora", for the worst president of our history who send free all the convicted of our jails and support Montoneros......well, continue enying this goverment please.

Important positions, like which one? :lol:

 

Ah yes, the legendary revolutionaries Alberto and Cristina, they just came down from Sierra Maestra :lol:

 

 

Not up for comedy today, Rodri.

Your definition of "important position" is very broad.

 

 

And in any case, comparing to islamic revolution is absurd :lol: A lot of modern politicians in latin america were leftist militant in the 70s, even many that are right wing now.

So to be short, Raeisi is pickep by Khamenei and expected to be the next no.1 person so Khamenei disqualified all his real rivals to help him win. Do I get it right?

 

And another question what changes can we expect when the ultra conservative president take over the moderate one, both domestically and diplomatically?

I know most politicians around the world are corrupt and most of them have blood on their hands (either people in their own country or in other countries) but this is a different case.

 

and I'm not that kind of person to get stuck in the past. it's about the future. I know how people like him think and act. they are dangerous for humankind. it's just hard to explain these things to non-Iranians because most people have a completely different and wrong image about Iran. as I said the president doesn't have the ultimate power here but still plays a big role "at least in local matters". I lived under 4 different presidents. I know the difference. guys like him can easily lead us to a war.

 

I promised to myself to never vote after what happened in 2009. but had to break my own promise in 2017 because I was afraid of this guy 4 years ago but I guess he was inevitable. we just postponed the disaster.

My comparation is only in a murders from the past returning many years later to be goverment, nothing more.

 

Verbtisky decide many things and was the most important adviser for Nestor and one of the most for Cristina.

    • TISC Annual 2025 - Voting Order & Provisional Grand Final Date     I have arranged a voting schedule for the upcoming TISC Annual 2025. Please see your jury's designated voting time in the table below. For convenience I have included a column showing the host country time in GMT and the local time for each jury based on their specific time-zone.   Please check to ensure the local time shown is correct as mistakes can happen!   Fortunately I have only had to make one swap to ensure every jury has a voting window within a reasonable time in their local time. That was achieved by swapping and . China will now vote in position #12 while moves to position #25.   For any juries who cannot personally deliver their votes during the live Grand Final, I will post their votes on their behalf.   Now that I have the voting schedule, I can begin work on the voting and scoreboard templates.   The provisional date I am setting for the Grand Final - Saturday 17th January. That's just under 3 weeks from now which I feel is necessary to allow enough time for me to fit in all the preparations around the holidays and an upcoming exam!     Session 1 Host Time (GMT) Local Time Jury Voting 09:00 10:00 Denmark 09:10 10:10 Sweden 09:20 10:20 Slovakia 09:30 16:30 Indonesia 09:40 09:40 Great Britain 09:50 10:50 Italy 10:00 11:00 Spain 10:10 15:10 Kazakhstan Break 10:20 - 12:00 GMT Session 2 Host Time Local Time Jury Voting 12:00 14:00 Ukraine 12:10 14:10 Bulgaria 12:20 13:20 Germany 12:30 20:30 China 12:40 13:40 France 12:50 18:20 India 13:00 14:00 Tunisia 13:10 13:10 Portugal 13:20 15:20 Greece Break 13:30 - 16:00 GMT Session 3 Host Time Local Time Jury Voting 16:00 18:00 Israel 16:10 17:10 Serbia 16:20 18:20 Romania 16:30 13:30 Brazil 16:40 17:40 Poland 16:50 10:50 Mexico 17:00 18:00 Netherlands 17:10 12:10 United States 17:20 18:20 Slovenia Break 17:30 - 19:00 GMT Session 4 Host Time Local Time Jury Voting 19:00 22:00 Turkey 19:10 20:10 Albania 19:20 20:20 Malta 19:30 19:30 Ireland 19:40 16:40 Argentina 19:50 21:50 Lithuania 20:00 14:00 Guatemala 20:10 12:10 Canada    
    • @intoronto @Micki @evil betty thanks for giving me to know that and all of you did answering in the same moment 
    • Okay, thanks. I saw that too and could not make any sense out of it but I don't know enough about ski jumping. 
    • Nathan Crumpton has not competed in skeleton since the 2022, is a sprinter now.  Carlos Maeder competed last time in alpine, is 47 now and skiied last april and was far outside being good enough.  is still possible.
    • Yeah, American Samoa has snowboarder Kanoe Pelfrey, but I don’t think she’ll qualify in halfpipe. Ghana has skeleton athlete Akwasi Frimpong, but it will be difficult for him too.
    • has a snowboarder, unlikely to qualify. Same with in skeleton.  has capability of qualifying in alpine skiing, but they are on the outside looking in right now.
    • It looks like a problem at the FIS website. The same problem occurs in their cup standings tab where the points don't add up for some reason: https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/ski-jumping/cup-standings.html?sectorcode=JP&seasoncode=2026&cupcode=COC&disciplinecode=ALL&gendercode=M&nationcode=
    • In comparsion to 2022 we are still missing some countries, those like  and  are and will be missing under their flags by obvious reasons, an athlete from  is retired, either of  or  will get quota in skeleton, but what about  and  ? 
    • I am puzzled by the olympic rankings for the guys competing at the continental cup level. Why are the 'winter cup' points not being added to their ranking score? For instance David Rygl is shown on the olympic lists as being 144th with 2 points from the continental cup, his bio says that he has 2 summer points and 16 winter points, but under 'all' just 2. Do some winter points not count or something?
    • but the 1/8 vs Senegal or RDC , both are very strong ... the team was not convincing until now , pretty random game
