The Iran apologists have been around for a long time — 12 Comments

  1. ” I prefer such a view, even in retrospect, to indifference to the Shah’s oppressive regime …”

    Think about what he is actually admitting to here, and the kind of “reality” he has created for himself in order to be able to say it.

    He’s not just mealy-mouthing self-exculpating qualifications and provisos, and woulda coulda shouldas. He’s expressing a particular view of reality, or of what reality means and how it is to be responded to.

    He prefers his construction, to that old reality; and the pseudo-reality he has created for himself absolves him of any responsibility to do anything but express his preferences; deceptively tricked up though they may be as “facts”.

    “So he was wrong?” he might ask. So what? It doesn’t mean he was wrong, much less discredited. Dreaming the dream is virtuous in itself. And isn’t that all anyone could ask?

  2. I think we underestimate the effect subtle mental illness, as opposed to simple and outright moral degeneracy, has on our politics.

    Suppose all the depressives and substance abusers just migrated off somewhere and didn’t show up to vote or on the media. What would our social world look like?

  3. Anyone but me realize that under the ideas of progressives and fabians, the bomb in the hands of iran who uses it IS what they want?

    Many of the early 20th century progressives were themselves Fabians. So understanding the Fabian society has relevance to understanding progressivism.

    The window explicitly reflects the goal of the Fabian Society to portray an outward role contrary to its real character, i.e. to use deception in pursuing its ultimate aim.

    Specifically, a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing is the image which appears in the shield above the world being wrought in the Fabian mold.

    This biblical reference comes from the New Testament and a sermon by Jesus warning that false prophets come in sheep’s clothing, but are actually ravening wolves.

    Authors such as G. Edward Griffin, in his book The Creature from Jekyll Island, have given voice to the reality that this shield image highlights the distinguishing feature of the Fabians as compared to the communists, in that the Fabians desire to create a socialist state using subversive tactics, as opposed to the communist method of revolution and violence.

    ie. the author of that statement doesnt know that revolution and violence is not the communist thing, its the bolshivik communist thing, and that they won over the menshiviks by killing them.

    but in the west its the menshiviks, as violent overthrow is off the table given the destruction and what you would gain if you used it.

    however, the more interesting part and more pertinent thing as to the fabian window is the OTHER message that is also embedded in it imagry.

    the red earth being hammered into a new shape upon an anvil… the man with green robes is holding on to the heated earth in world war type crisis (too hot to handle), and the communist red robed man is beating it to a new shape when its hot with crisis.

    above the window it reads
    “Remold it near to the heart’s desire.”
    at the bottom:
    “Pray devoutly, hammer stoutly.”

    the whole idea that the left does not want war is one of the biggest lies told over and over, which causes peope to vote for them, enable them, and think that that is what they actually mean.

    AFTER the soviet revolution and the spread of marxism/communism/socialism/fascism/anarcho marxism/ feminism/fabianism/fascism/ etc… most wars were orchestrated with the idea of remolding the world!!!!

    looking at the largest wars (more than 100k peoples killed), from around 1917 onwards and see what you get. pretty much all of them are directly or indirectly socialist in some form…

    Polish-Soviet War 1919 – 1920 [communist]

    Russian Revolution and Civil War 1917 – 1922 [communist]

    Northern Expedition 1926 – 1928 a military campaign led by the Kuomintang (KMT) from 1926 to 1928.[fascist]

    Communists vs Koumintang 1930 – 1935 500,000 [communist vs fascist]

    Chaco War 1932 – 1935 [fascism – Nacionalismo bolivianista
    Socialismo]

    World War II [fascists and communists team up]

    Poland and Soviet Union vs Ukrainian Partisans 1945 – 1947 [not 100k, but also communist]

    Indian Partition Communal Violence 1947 – 1948 [not socialist – the exception]

    Chinese Civil War 1946 – 1949 [fascists vs communists]

    Korean War 1949 – 1953 [communists]

    Nigerian Civil War 1967 – 1970 [religion]

    Hutu Rebellion 1972 – 1972 [anti imperialist]

    Vietnam War 1965 – 1975 [communist]

    Cambodian Civil War 1967 – 1975 [communist]

    Chinese Cultural Revolution 1967 – 1976 [communist over fascist]

    Iran vs Iraq 1985 – 1988 [religion]

    Lebanese Civil War 1975 – 1990 [religion]

    Ethiopia vs Eritrean Separatists ELF/EPLF 1964 – 1991 [communist]

    Rwanda Civil War (Hutus vs Tutsis) 1990 – 1994 [communist fomented]

    Afghanistan Civil War 1978 – 2000 [communist]

    Angolan Gvt vs UNITA Guerilla 1975 – 2002 [communist]

    Mozambique Govt vs RENAMO and FRELIMO 1977 – 2013 [communist]

    Uganda Civil War 1980 – 2013 [communist]

    reducing wars to one or two words is not all that accurate, but even if i messed up a few, the majority of the most deadly conflicts on the planet have been started, instigated, supported, or orchetrated by some form of revolutionary marxism, or passive marxists funding

    and yet, we are to believe that they dont want war?

  4. yes, people willing to rip apart babies for fun and profit (they are smiling in the videos) are peacniks who would never ever want a war they could profit from…

  5. Falk reflexively believes people who also hate the US, and western civ in general, must be allies. In his failure of imagination, he can only think that they dislike the West for the same reasons he does. (Not on the surface, you see, but deep down, deep down, they must just be unhappy about capitalism. They just need nice American communists to explain that for them.)

    Scratch Falk deeper, and you will find that what toques him off is not wealth and status, but that the wrong people get rich and famous.

    Put the two together and you see that Falk’s drive is not so much political as personally narcissistic. He’s not the only one. Unfortunately, the political consequences of narcissism are enormous.

  6. Falk is a swine. But an elderly one, now 84. He is symbolic of where we have been, politically and academically, for the last half-century.

  7. Jim Miller:

    I don’t think it’s so much blogger ethics as the blogger audience/commenters and the blogosphere itself. You know, that “we factcheck your ass” business.

  8. A big part of what we’re facing is that some people have a real taste for evil. Seeing it, they lick their chops. Most of them are drawn, in these times, to the Left.

    They do not want what we want.

  9. Falk is a particularly nasty specimen.

    (One would be tempted to refer to him as an extremely sick little puppy, as well, but that would not be terribly useful….)

    That such a miserable, toxic, crazed personality was appointed by the UN in that particular post speaks volumes about that organization.

    (Volumes already well known to anybody with any sense.)

    That his wife was appointed to replace him (by the same benighted organization) after his dismissal—Falk went too far even for the UN—speaks volumes more.

    File under: Trash-talk Falk.

  10. }}} But Falk has never shown repentance, and he still has respect in the international community–which probably does not care if he’s right or wrong, as long as he’s on the right–that is the left–side of things.

    Neo, one name: Ehrlich.

    The man was and STILL IS about as wrong as any human has ever been on a single topic, and yet he still commands 5-figure speaking fees.

    If you’re spouting what the PostModern Libtards want to hear, you walk on shit without getting your feet dirty… as far as the PMLs can tell, anyway…

  11. When the Left has a fully engineered and working logistical chain, of course they have the money to fund their front line troops like Ehrlich. It’s just how an organization would operate if they had the funds for it. Someone has to pay the bills. A bunch of jobless, incomeless, bums would not make a good Revolutionary Army.
