Tikkun Olam - The Ubiquitous Conductor

Keep her safe and she will huddle. Let her huddle and enjoy her magic. As her neighbors implode, she lifts the curtains to her spectacular armory against the surrounding belligerency without outside pontification and interference. 1350 meters that equaled 10 seconds is a connecting dot. Iraq then Afghanistan and a journeyman hacker who caused turmoil for most - but not her - is indicative of her power. Tunisia then Egypt. Social networks are credited despite the belligerent component that despise non-Muslims and demean their women in that part of the world overwhelms those who use the social media to rally for democracy and the ones who do realize too late that the facade of a 14th century doctrine parlayed by tinpot dictators comes to roost as the real thing looms large.   The arch begins 2001 with termite-laden shape charges strapped onto 47 steel cores and ends 2031 with the true color of the doctrine infused in the Middle East, Africa and Asia but rendering them hopeless d...

Iranium

What are chances the BBC would do Iranium, an exposure of a nuclear program in the hands of medieval practitioners who execute 400 of their own people every year - practitioners who stone their women to death? Hint - if an apologist of fundamentalist Islam such as the BBC trashes the Alex Traiman documentary - it warrants looking into.  The documentary is not about development of nuclear technology but about a regime armed with the "final c omponent of an extreme doctrine" that commits itself explicitly to "establishment of a universal and holy government and the downfall of all others" thus making the advancement of its 'jihad' a theological if not a legal goal. It is a commentary the regime does not want you to hear because it explains inter-alia how Islamists beguiled socialists, democrats and even communists to unfold against the dictatorship of the Shah resulting in an Islamic nation with the highest incidences of judicial ‘stonings’ prescribed...

The Stoning of Soraya M.

The Stoning of Soraya M. is a docu-drama based on a true story directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh and produced by Stephen McEveety. It takes courage to make such a film. It takes courage to empower the victims of Islamic violence in that the script acknowledges the courage of Soraya Manutchehri who perished under a hail of stones in the hands of medieval practitioners.  Such projects will not be undertaken by the likes of Spielberg or Scorcese simply because a curious strain of Stockholm Syndrome has infected and continues to infect the Hollywood staple. Incidentally, Scorcese finished Stones, Shine A Light - that is not related to exposing the dreaded punishment but to a safe-to-make Rolling Stones biographical where the director appears to have over-Hitchcock-ed himself into the script. It is not a question of fearing the hypocritical cowards but suffering them. The silence of the typical celluloid promoter and the Feminine Left is understandable, even when a news-bite of medieval pr...
