Afshin Ellian: Obama Did Not Invent Green Revolution

Green Revolution was not invented by Obama Friday, September 4, 2009 11:27

Obama has not unleashed the Green Revolution against Ahmadinejad Now the leader of the Islamic Iran has admitted that the opposition leaders are not spies of the West and Israel, the question arises who the green revolution has unleashed. Not Obama in any case!

Tabnak this week revealed that President Obama a few weeks ago wrote his second letter to Khamenei. Tabnak is the site of Mohsen Rezai. He was nearly twenty years the commander of the Revolutionary Guards. The first letter to Khamenei wrote Obama a few weeks before the election. They are friendly letters in which the President begged Iranian leaders to talk to him.

Back to the question: Who caused The Green Revolution?

Problematic Students

The Iranian leader Khamenei knows the answer with almost military precision to formulate. Khamenei on August 30 made a speech on the state of the Iranian Academy. Khamenei believes that the "soft war" of the West against the Islamic republic is conducted through the university. According to Khamenei there are three and half million Iranians studying in universities or colleges. Two million Iranians follow studies that deal with man and society: philosophy, literature, psychology, political science, public administration, law, art, sociology, economics, communications, et cetera.

What thinks Khamenei of 2 million students not studying medicine, mathematics, physics and so on? "It is a serious worry. Since the Islamic universities lack the skills to train these students. They have not enough professors from an Islamic worldview that science could approach and teaching. Human and social sciences are mostly grounded in materialism and disbelief in the divine Islamic teachings. The teaching of these sciences lead to disbelief in the divine and Islamic teachings. The teaching of these sciences in universities will lead to the spread of skepticism and doubts about the religious foundations and faith. The government bodies, parliament and the Supreme Council for Cultural Revolution to be the focus these issues seriously, "said the Iranian leader.

Western intellect

What does this mean? I have told about the show trials in which the intellectual accused the cause of their crime and sent to the Western political philosophers have attributed. Even the American political philosopher and scholar Micahel Ledeen Iran was not spared. Ledeen's name was frequently mentioned by prosecutors. We also know that some detainees were put under pressure to confess that they have acted on behalf of Ledeen. Poor prisoner, poor Ledeen. No prisoner has ever spoken Ledeen or Habermas. And because members of Jewish descent, he was "Jewish pig" named. What an embarrassing situation! The Islamic Iran tried including Max Weber (1864-1920), Jürgen Habermas (1929 -), Richard Rorty (1931-2007), Hannah Arendt (1906-9175) and of course Karl Popper (1902-1994). The books of these and many other scholars were in the past twenty years massive translated, published and studied at the universities of Iran. The intelligence services had no problems with it initially. They apparently thought that the philosophical and sociological books not worse than drugs. At most it thus becomes temporarily lost consciousness. But now that the reading of Max Weber would encourage young Iranians to think about the legitimacy basis of political power: Allah or people? Note that logical conclusion from Khamenei's speech follows: Western intelligence but not the Western ideas of freedom, democracy and rule of the Islamic regime to fail. In short, the CIA is simply "The Federalist Papers" in Persian and translated to airdrop over the universities of Iran. The Bible was once a formidable weapon was smuggled into DDR.

And Iran? Because Iran bursts of holy books and figures, should Iran to the profane books are smuggled. Students should disappear The practical problem for the Iranian leader are two million students. How to get rid of them? Actually Khamenei announces a second cultural revolution. The first cultural revolution took place in 1980 universities were closed and most students and professors were dismissed. Where did they go? Most went to the Iranian mass graves or abroad. Note: Khamenei wants at least two million people removed. Another solution is not available.

The cultural revolution aims the re-Islamization of the universities. This Islamization process, the Hellenistic world of ideas removed from the intellect of the Muslim youth. This Islamization is obviously related to the future. The current generation is in the eyes of Khamenei irreparably damaged by the western world of ideas. Obama and students The Soviet Union and its satellite countries were also only interested in the exact sciences. These are sciences which your weapons, cars, boats, and satellites can make. The rest was basically Western nonsense. Václav Havel read in the dark times of totalitarianism Plato and Heidegger in the Prague cafés. In the same time, Western officials did not have contacts with the Eastern European dissidents. The makers wanted only the States and not talk to their dissidents. Why? Because according to these bureaucrats, official contacts with dissidents, a bad influence on their relationship with totalitarian states. What an irony! The Havel of the world succeeded the Soviet Union to overthrow. And again history repeats itself: the official partner of Western officials and Khamenei is not the dissidents. Have you seen Obama with an Iranian student? No, but in the great mosque of Cairo.
