What Is Iran Preparing For?
One place we all know where dissident voices can rise up is on college and university campuses. Higher education is the bane of totalitary regimes. So one has to wonder what is in the planning when Iran decides to purge the country of secular and liberal professors. While some are claiming Iran is not Nazi Germany, those same people need to understand the Nazis only exposed their true selves over a decade of small power grabs and adjustments. No one takes a people to the conditions the Nazis reached over night. Initially it is done in subtle steps so as to not alarm too many people. This step by Iran is not subtle. They are pro-actively removing potential dissident voices from the public square AND branding these people as potential malcontents. What future do the Iranian leaders envision that require such a step?
A week or so ago they had a little make work project of destruction of satallite tv dishes.
I presume their bloggers will be next.
Control the message, control the situation.
A booklet entitled “Al-Jihad†(holy war) was found in the possession of Hezbollah operatives during the latest conflict in Lebanon and is most likely being used by other terrorists preparing for the next attack against us.
The booklet, presents the Islamic teachings of Khamenei, an ideology based on jihad and shahada…
Be sure to read it in The Terrorist’s Nightmare blog and leave your comments here.
secular and liberal professors——-
no need for them to be out of work, sounds like they are well qualified to teach in US universities.

I don’t like to generalize there. Because we call far leftist professors “liberal” here in the States… and they really are part of our downfall.
I also think that what the babyboomer hippies did in the 60s was rotten. Really rotten.
They supported the Viet Cong. Called this “anti-war” and “peace”. They equated “freedom” with “free drug use”. They equated “love” with fornication. They helped bring on the horrible drug epidemics following the 60s, the AIDs epidemics, and the rise in broken marriages. “Helped”, here, I use loosely.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
These guys are the mothers and fathers of the vast majority of modern leftism.
Iran is a very different situation. Iran has a huge “secular” or non-fanatical base. These people are educated. They are not fanatics. They despie the Iranian powers. Sure, they have some Communists, but the vast majority of the opponents of that regime are ordinary Iranians.
As far as Iran being different from Nazi Germany… in terms of threat… anyone that would say such a thing is a complete moron. A monkey. I can’t fathom even taking such critics seriously.
Such people are not so stupid. They are **liars**.
They lie because they want to see what happens when Iran goes nuclear. Because they don’t like you. Or me. Or people like us. They don’t like everyday Americans.
