Aftermath: Tehran
~ ITEM: IRAN: DAY 18 of the Revolution that will not die
~ ITEM: Iran Fading From Media Attention.. Iran? That’s so June!
~ ITEM: The rise and fall of Perez Hilton
~ ITEM: Obama’s Failure of Moral Courage
~ ITEM: North Korea’s Nuclear Program Is No Joke
~ ITEM: Out of sight, Iran remains on the brink
~ SO WHILE THE AD/HD news-cycle has moved on (Teh Obama having spoken), the bodies are still piling up in in the pre-dug graves outside Tehran. Many are in hiding, others in dungeons, others being tortured and/ or paraded in front of Mullah-TV to denounce the pre-approved enemies-list of Zionists, agitators, anything and anybody else than the ones with bloody hands.
It would be all so lame and giggle-worthy, were it not for real suffering now firmly behind the clerical curtains once again– we’ve all seen too many tinpot types and their various Baghdad Bob regime mouthpieces telling us the official lies we’re not supposed to believe. Yet again, our blood-stained media has chosen to look the other way, back to bread/ circuses/ pop culture ‘essential’ news.
But it’s not back to usual: this was Twittered, and an ancient people like the Persians have very very long memories, having been around for 6000 years and more. Further– and according to the Prophet Joe Biden’s schedule– six months in, and Glorious Leader/ Messiah has indeed faced two world-scale international challenges to his largely autopilot foreign policy, and failed. A mix of mumbles, hitting false notes, a disturbing lack of real and fitting emotion, topped off with the usual pandering that has much of the world scrambling to protect itself, disinvest in the U.S., and nuke-up before the bad guys have all the toys.

“The fathers eat sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.”
Ezekiel 18:2
Show me the amusements of a culture, and I’ll show you it’s heart. So at the heart of ancient Rome was the Circus Maximus, and later the Flavian Amphitheatre ( the Colosseum), and the life and death battles there between man and animal, law and lawbreaker, man and man, Rome and the barbarians. It was all about the blood, and the judgement of the spectators: were they amused? Who deserved life and who deserved death? So via the public spectacles, the heart of that civilization was revealed.
What about our civilization? our amusements, judgements, and mortal battles?

~ IN MOVIE or video game plots, once the hero gets entangled with the outer minions, then there’s the really bad guys of the inner circle, then there’s the ultimate bad guy, and the climax of the show.
We’ve had the permed minion on CTV and the pudgy minion at the parliamentary hearings, but now they’ve finally got the Alien Queen out of her nest head woman out actually speaking for her organization.
Clearly, they’re just not paying her enough– after all, she’s a hugely talented constitutional expert, PR professional, world traveller, psychologist; Internet fact-checker/ blog analyst; evil hater spotter; media spokeswoman; indeed, there seems to be no skill or area in which the supremely multi-talented Queen of the Canucki Inhuman Unrights Communism does not apparently possess.

… “I got a great present for father’s day yesterday — a new baby. So I’m going to be taking a break from blogging for a few days…. Needless to say, when it came to baby names, “Jennifer Shirlene Elmasry Levant” didn’t make the short list!”
Virtual cigars all round for the blessed event!
