Let Them Occupy Tehran

What the flippity flop??

The Occupy Wall Street movement may be losing its spotlight in the United States, but it’s gaining attention in Iran, where a handful of American professors recently traveled to attend a conference focusing on the anti-capitalist protests.

“The discourse (in Iran) seems to be veering from ‘Down with America!’ to ‘Down with the 1 Percent!’” said Heather Gautney, a self-described “Occupy Wall Street activist” and a sociology professor at Fordham University in New York. “In my view, this is quite a welcome development, and speaks to Iranians’ affection for Americans despite all the political conflict.”

Sounds rather like genuine Anti-American Activity to me. Isn’t Iran classified as an enemy nation? If not, why not?? I can’t see what the little towlies would want to know this stuff for, unless to learn how to a) suppress it violently in their own country should any crop up, or b) weaponize it for use against the West.

Gautney was one of four U.S. professors last week to attend the two-day conference at Tehran University, in a country whose people—despite any possible dissatisfaction—are not in a position to take to the streets, as she described it. Consequently, she said, Iranian professors and students view the Occupy movement as “an object of study,” not something to emulate anytime soon.

When she and the other professors were first invited to the conference, they were worried about the organizers’ motivations, Gautney admitted. But after seeing a list of about 30 questions that would be posed to them, “it seemed like a very legitimate kind of project,” she said.

Typical clueless and delusional Ivory Tower leftists, feeding intel and Best Practices to our enemies.

“I got the sense that they were trying to confirm impressions that they had, confirm things that they had read in the press, in part so that they could integrate into their own and also into their classroom,” Gautney said.

Nevertheless, government-controlled media in Iran didn’t miss an opportunity to highlight the American professors’ presence in Tehran. In an English-language report posted online, Iran’s PressTV offered this headline from the conference: “Experts: Occupy Wall Street likely to topple US administration.”

But, but, they never said that at all!!!  Uh huh. I do believe the term these days is ”pwned”.  And the profs got invited there because the Occupy message was quite anti-Semitic. No no no, no it wasn’t!!! Yeah, because giant protest banners saying “Joo bankers must die!!” were never at any of these rallys. And there were so many of them that were never ever there, that a Jew hating enemy nation extended a big fat invitation to a bunch of lefty academics to come tell them all about it. Riiiiight.

You can follow the link to read more, but it’s pretty obvious that these obliviots were willingly used as sock puppets by the mad mullahs.

Too bad we let them back in. Non-diplomatic trips to Iran ought to be one way rides.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
