“Justice too long delayed is Justice Denied.”--William Gladstone


Reformers and hardliners: "Symbiotic Adaptation and Mutualism"



The onslaught of organized weapons of mass deception unleashed during make-believe election time in Iran by all manners of reformists/appeasers from various corners of academia, TV,radio, and blogspheres inside and outside of Iran is too much even for the informed audiences to sieve and come out unscathed.

Fatefully, this passage by Martin Luther King eerily parallels the manufactured dilemma(via fraudlent, shamelss and corrupt reformists) the cataleptic Iranian people face during these sham elections:

We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct-action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."

No, action for justice is never well-timed in the eyes of the oppressor. Neither is it well-timed in the eyes of those who would not knowingly oppress anyone, but who are all the same complicit in oppression. It is true that we often do not see ourselves clearly enough to realize the prejudice in our hearts and the unjust actions in our lives.


The reformist's/reformallah's argument is similar to those whom Martin Luther refers to as "those who have not suffered...and keep saying the word "Wait"". The reformists are complicit (partners in crime) in oppression of Iranian populace all the same; knowningly or unknowingly, they contribute feverishly to the survival of the status quo (plundring and raping the Iranian nation's wealth in the name of anti-war movement). It is never a good time in the eyes of those who have amassed unheard fortunes at the expense of others to give up their wealth or redistribute it more justly or equitably. Why should they? It's the nature of the beast.

Dr. King reminds us that "Action for Justice is never well-timed in the eyes of the oppressor". We are told by the reformist to "Wait". Because "Wait" at least offers some hope. But the Islamic Republic Constitution (Sharia Jurisprudence) clearly tells us, "Never." So, what are we hoping for, I ask? How many times are the Iranians going to be used as tools to enrich the lives of these murderous ayatollas?

Was it not during Rafsanjani's and Khatami's reign that the Iranian Ayatollahs became the "Millionare mullahs and ranked by Forbes magazine as the top 500 richest people in the world? Where do clergies get this kind of money? Do they have some Shiite technology patent that the world is not privy to yet?

Iran has become one of the most dismally unequal societies in the ME. A small caste of very rich fat priests and their cronies are reducing most of the Iranian people to abject poverty in a country that is immensely wealthy. To cover up for all this greed and corruption, religious fundamentalism is a very effective tool of ideological domination. The more Iran sinks into inequality and social injustice, the more fiery the pseudo revolutionary rhetoric of its theocratic ruling elite, and the more dogmatic and intolerant their version of Islam. Religious fundamentalism is a wonderful tool for diverting attention from all real issues. But it has a limit, and that limit is set by the emergence of people's conscience and desire to get rid of all those blood-sucking parasites passing for "men of spirit".

What do the Iranian Ayatollahs and this class of parasitic reformist really stand for? At this moment for nothing more than staying in power, prolonging their very symbiotic viral co-existence with their host(Supreme Leader of ignorance), and continuing to line their bulging pockets with the money of the Iranian people. Social inequality and poverty rates in Iran are appalling. And if you visit the wealthy neighborhoods of Northern Teheran, you will see conspicuous signs of obscene wealth in the hands of the nouveaux rich(those who tell us to wait) that have emerged after the demise of the late Shah. And if you move to the huge slums in Southern Teheran, you will see abject poverty and destitution. Most Iranians have benefited very little from the new theocratic dictatorship and their reformist co-sponsors.


What will be the judgment of future generations on this blood-sucking reformists who are even more debased and treasonus than their hardliner counterparts? How would these reformist be remembered by their children and their grand children when the oil runs out in twenty plus some years and there is nothing else to loot?
