[click image I think should be titled "This Nowruz"....]My beloved Iranian women friends have given me a chronic migraine. Reason cannot penetrate their fury. They were and still are elated by the opportunity the American destabilization effort in Iran has provided. I was cursing this filthy ruse from the start, for precisely the evil to be made of broken hearts, and it just keeps on. And on. And on. Even though global catastrophe may have been averted by the success in restoring order in Iran, there are yet the losers, who won't realize what they have won, hissing and spitting and wildly demonizing their oppressors for these thirty years of the bumpkin hijab.
They scream and wail and scorn us cold leftists, in their now thirty-year-incubating hysteria, to keep the hem of this thrust for global conflagration alive. They can't turn off the pumping bloodlust switched on by enemies. Will not tolerate this pacification of their warlike thrust for liberation. Work still to revive it back into something with which to punish their oppressors... entirely heedless of the millions also to suffer this punishment with their very lives.
I would grievously wound anyone who tried to force me to wear anything I do not want to wear. I would cut the dick off any man who tried to inhibit my freedom in any way. I would die to free my sisters everywhere. I will not stand behind them in this hate-filled ignoring of everyone's lives.
People who stand in awe of the stupidity of the average American, letting our government slaughter millions across the globe because our minds are too clouded with cultural conditioning to see the evil exploiting us, exploiting everyone in the world, have here been caught by that precise evil, themselves. They as flatly, ardently, petulantly, angrily, hurtfully refuse to open their eyes to the real perfidy worked upon them as the throngs of ugly Americans they revile.
I have begged them to drop what they want for themselves and each other to see what is best for all beings inside the current conditions on this globe and it is as a droplet sent by the buddhas of the ten directions to extinguish a volcano.

Who will notice that he is also inveighing for compassion toward the deceived, my sisters making my head pound like this? Will they? Not a chance. Not a chance.
Ahmadinejad urges severe punishment for post-election riotsI am filled with gratitude to the Russian and Chinese leaders for not forsaking the Iranian people. Without them, millions more would be dying right now.

TEHRAN, August 28 (RIA Novosti) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for severe punishments for those behind the unrest that followed the June 12 presidential election, Press TV said on Friday.
In a speech before Friday prayers, Ahmadinejad denied electoral fraud, calling the vote "healthy" and the unrest "painful," the state English-language TV channel reported. He said certain people who have been deceived by the enemy's schemes tried to shake the Islamic establishment's foundations.
"I call upon security and judicial officials to decisively and mercilessly act on those who committed inhumane acts in the guise of the friends since they inflicted damage on people and tarnished the image of the establishment, security and police forces," the president said.
Ahmadinejad also called on authorities to treat those deceived with "Islamic compassion." He lashed out at Western countries for interfering in Iran's domestic affairs, and advised them to make up for their "blunders," the channel reported.
Ahmadinejad's re-election triggered mass protests by defeated candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi's supporters. At least 30 people were reported to have been killed and about 1,000 arrested in post-election violence in the capital Tehran and some other cities, in Iran's most severe unrest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Iranian authorities have agreed to release around 140 prisoners detained in the riots, but around 200 people, including 50 opposition activists, remain in jail.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, moved to prevent possible death penalty sentences against prominent dissidents on Thursday by dismissing allegations they were linked to foreign powers.
"I don't accuse the leaders of the recent events of being linked to foreign countries, including the U.S. and Britain, since the issue has not been proven for me," Ayatollah Khamenei was cited by international media.
The prominent Islamic cleric warned that the trials would deepen the crisis of confidence within the country and further damage Iran's reputation.
Ayatollah Khamenei's remarks came as German Chancellor Angela Merkel joined calls for harsher sanctions against Iran, which has defied international demands to halt uranium enrichment, when the five permanent Security Council members and Germany meet next week.
The Islamic Republic is suspected of seeking to build nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian program, a claim Tehran has denied. China and Russia have spoken out against new sanctions.
99, I know that I said I won't discuss this with you anymore:)
ReplyDeleteBut I have to write what you get wrong.
It isn't about me, I don't care about the "scarf".
It is about finding a way for these millions of wonderful Iranian youth to feel a connected to their country.
It is really simple. I guess me and other friends were not able to convey this clearly.
The Iranian youth is very resilient and flexible. They don't want a revolution. I would say even in some way this has nothing to do with politics of foreign policies.
They just want some officials who SEE them and HEAR them and RESPECT them.
Maybe everyone misses the point because it is so simple and no one is used to simplicity anymore, we have to see it through a web of conspiracies.
You know that I beleive in these conspiracies but we have to distinguish life in all its form and protect it.
Killing life in orther to save it is the same logic than making war to obtain peace. Or limiting your freedoms in order to save them.
It is funny how we can easily ressemble to what we are trying to reject.
.
I see the difference between the leaders of the uprising and the followers. I'm quite sure you are right about the followers, mostly kids, not wanting a revolution, wanting to bee seen, heard and respected. The leaders, as they have certainly said they don't want revolution, have absolutely been wanting the vaunted "regime change", wanting to oust the hardline theocrats from power and to accommodate Western interests, which would not only turn Iran back into another American client state, but would end up being just like the Shah's regime to quell all the Iranians who want Iran for Iranians. On TOP of this, their government would anger the factions in Iran who are benefiting from Iran's wealth instead of America and Briton now, and they are not weak. They would fight. There would be carnage in the streets, which would be our signal to go in to save the world from the nuclear menace of an unstable government with terrorists grabbing nuclear materials for dirty bombs... which would bring Russia and/or China in to defend you from the total devastation of an American invasion... which is WWIII.
ReplyDeleteI know it's not JUST the scarf, that the scarf is just a symbol of the real resentments festering all this time.
I know too that SANE people rise up to do something about their government's failure to see, hear and respect them... when they are not under such an intense existential threat from the outside, that is.
You guys should be the ones casting about for reformers to put into government wherever possible and keeping rhetorical pressure on your leaders, and WE should be the ones in the streets, instead of the other way around. THAT would be the sane way to proceed for all of us.
In the meantime, I have flipped my lid over how many Iranians, in country and expatriate, who have turned into raving lunatics over this! I can't believe my eyes! OMG! Blowing things all out of any semblance of proportion, dripping with spite and making up anything to defend their ire and ugliness, when it IS clear that the authorities were defending their stations and trying to halt the destruction of private property, NOT just going in and beating up peaceful protesters.
The bullshit about Mousavi declaring victory hours before the polls closed... and the fishy excuses for it.
The fact that the regime DID look into the allegations of electoral fraud, and much more comprehensively than EVER done even here, in our supposedly model democracy.
The fact that Mousavi, Rafsanjani, and Katami all kept it up, kept coming out to incite more upheaval, FULLY AWARE of the stakes for both the people and the crucial need for stability to keep the backing of Russia and China and the United States OUT.
Neda! Neda was unquestionably slaughtered for cynical reasons by people determined to foment upheaval in the streets. There is no other lucid explanation for the circumstances of her death. The convenient taping of the murder, the lightning speed with which she became a world famous martyr.
The fucking color green.
The fucking Mousavi hope posters identical to Obama's.
The protest placards in ENGLISH.
The Pahlavi Dynasty flags waving all over the world.
ALL OF IT AS THOUGH THE YOUTH AND PEOPLE OF IRAN WERE BUT GRIST FOR THE MILL OF GEOPOLITICAL ADVANTAGE, THE PERSONAL WEALTH FORTUNES OF THE FEW.
M, R, and K, and their henchmen, should be stripped of every bit of power and respect... for treason... for murder... for breaking so many hearts in their stupidity and greed, and the heartbroken should be spared to recover themselves and gain their reforms another way.
Weirdly, I think Ahmadinejad is with me on this. Maybe he has selfish reasons, and maybe he doesn't, but, from all my work studying up on Iran and this debacle, he seems, for whatever faults he has, to have his finger on the pulse of Iran's survival in a hostile world.
It just occurred to me there might be a better way to state this.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what, it has to be remembered that the Number One Priority of any government of Iran is to stay free of Western money interests... aka fascists or plutocrats... whatever name you want to give them. THAT was and still is their mandate, THE thing everyone who participated in the overthrow of the Shah had in common, the unity that created an Iran free of the oppression of Western kleptocracy.
The whole reason Ahmadinejad won by such an overwhelming margin, despite all the clever lies and propaganda blaming it on election fraud, is that most of Iran still holds this one mandate uppermost in their hearts when deciding who to vote for. That is still the Number One most important thing in the Iranian political consciousness.
Young people, highly educated people, the more worldly and sophisticated people are more easily persuaded that this MENACE to Iran is no menace, but progressiveness. Very few people ever notice that cultural conditioning, or social conditioning, or the conditioning known as "education", can create blindness and cause blunders as apocalyptic as any originating from the masses.
It could be the source of confusion about the landslide victory is precisely this: that very many people who would otherwise have voted for someone else, saw that Ahmadinejad was the ONLY one of the bunch with whom they could entrust this mandate, that for whatever else they don't like about him, this one thing makes him the one chance for the ultimate success of the revolution.
There really can't be any question about that. I think at least 90% of the Mousavi supporters on the street, when all is said and done, can't really argue with that... even though they are still arguing....
You have a big assumption:"the opp's want to accomodate Western interests".
ReplyDeleteI don't know where that comes from.
If we had ever a leftist in the gov. it was M. During the war periode the country didn't borrow a dim! Now, during the periode with the highest income in the history of the country we are broke and indebted more than ever.
................
A little story for you:
Actors: A, B, C and D
A is abused by B.
C is out there menacing to throw away B in order to abuse A himself.
D is watching, and telling A how lucky he is to be abused by B rather than by C.
Maybe D is right, but this whole scenario is sick!
Not a big assumption at all. It is plane as day to anyone objective and paying attention.
ReplyDeleteThe whole world is sick, and especially the Western money interests that want Iran's oil back. Maybe D wants the sickness to stop. Maybe D sees that angry Iranians are better than DEAD Iranians. Maybe D sees Iranians angrily heading for DEAD, reviles the sickness more than anyone, but doesn't want those who would be healthy too DEAD to get there.
plain as day
ReplyDeleteAnd... I think I should mention that I have seen stuff on the net from A that amounts to blackmailing D. Either see this our way or suffer vats of bile being dumped on you. It is clear to me that agents provocateurs abound in this polemic online. There is no telling who, which they are. They know what to say to rile A, to whip A into a fury, and are paid by C to keep it going... because it will pay C big time to have kept it going. C knows it can be kept going for as long as it takes because C knows how to exploit peoples hopes and fears and pain and resentment and world view. C also only wants a righteous enough excuse to "have to" turn A into glass... and C is making A do all the work to give the coveted excuse.
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY SICK! REPREHENSIBLY SICK! BEYOND THE PALE SICK!
Precisely right.
Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick!
That's WHY D is begging you to hang with B, who's so much less sick than C. If there were any way to squeeze another letter in there, a not sick letter, or even just a less sick than B and C letter, D would do it!!!!
