I always hated this guy, I hate people who are opportunistics, and this guy is the biggest opportunist of them all. I remember when there was a stdent uprising 12=13 years ago, this Nother fucker did not say anything until everything was over and he knew (or thought he knew) 100% it is all over. Then he came to Namazeh jomeh and start talking crap. You see Rafsanjani always thought that he had Khamenei in his pocket, he thought that he is way smarter than khamenei, but khamenei ended up being alot smarter than he looks.
Rafsanjani made him Rahbar as we all seen the video, he got rid of Montazeri and later on Ahmad khomeini. He thought he was fully in controll. First he became the president and let his brother to controll IRIB; after that he became the head of Khobregan, and had of majmaeh tashkhiseh mamlekat, , with him controlling Daneshgaheh Azad and his son Metro, he thought by contolling the media, having plenty of money and controlling the department that supposedly controll's the leader he will be fully in controll. By the time he realized that he had lost all power it was already to late. Poor guy that is why he chnged the rulles so he could run again for presidency... LOLL
Khamenei as dumb as he looks was pretty smart, he saw what happened to Khomenie's family and specially his son Ahmad. Instead of going for Money and media, which is probably the obvious way to go, he went for military power. He got full controll over Sepah, then he got rid of RAfsanjanies gang in Media and last he went for the money buy giving all huge contract directly to Sepah....
You see they always say if you have money and you controll the media then you will have power, but khamenei showed if you have power you can get money and controll the opinions (media).
KHamenei (way of thinking) = military power (Sepah) > Media + money
Rafsanjani (way of thinkin) = Money + Media > Military power (sepah)
I think Rafsanjani is still in shock how he got fucked so BAD within a few years. Man hanooz bavaram nemisheh che torri be enn rahati lokhtesh kardand, and made him so power less.
