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 practitioners that treat women worse than cattle interrupts their space and rankles the conscience, but the commentary is not about millionaire cowards who play pretend behind cameras but about a quill breed of 'holy men' who partake in the oldest 'Reality Show' in the business. 

"If you want to understand the type of people who run Iran, see this film. If you want to understand why men and women risk their lives to demonstrate against the fascist theocracy that rules Iran, see this film. The film is about the type of people who become 'supreme leader' (Ali Khamanei) or president of Iran (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad). It is about their mendacity, their use of religion to commit barbarity and of course, their despicable treatment of women" - Dennis Prager.

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar. It has done a lousy job of what it was supposed to do, as the Dollar has lost almost all its value. • The ESF was put in the hands of the head of the US Treasury and the US Treasurer has absolute power to do what he wants with the fund. • As a result, the ESF has acted as a giant slush fund that has funded the growth of the American Empire over the past century against the will of both Congress and many bankers in private industry. • The ESF effectively runs the US Federal Reserve and tells the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Fed) what to do. It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte

While it's safe to assume that Farhan and friends are not on Rihanna's Christmas card list, they are definitely on mine and I hope they progress the arrested narrative to its logical conclusion.
