Iranian Revolution (Day Forty-Nine)

Update (8/1/2009):Berman Post: Iranian Revolution (Day Fifty). End of Update:

Ahmadinejad is downplaying the seemingly growing rift between himself and Khamenei; "President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashed out at critics within his own hard-line camp on Friday, denying any rift with Iran's supreme leader, who he said was like a father." (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jGSJEAPs_r2T2wxsL5G3t4z-jajQD99PEFAG0).

Ahmadinejad also stated that the protesters would fail (http://www.reuters.com/article/Iran/idUSTRE56U2S320090731).

German company Knauf Gips KG has threatened to fire anyone who is caught participating in anti-government activities in Iran (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124900417227095813.html).

The Association of Teachers and Researchers of Qom released a statement in support of the protesters and a continued movement (http://niacblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/31/clerics-at-qom-tell-people-to-continue-their-movement).

"Iran at the Crossroads". Seems like they have been at this crossroad for over a month now; "In the weeks since the Iranian election, the government of the Islamic Republic has been publicly divided, delegitimatized and grown increasingly more weak. The current situation offers parallels with the political unrest leading up to the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ended the rule of the shah.

Historically, the Iranian government has enjoyed four sources of legitimacy: its competence in managing state affairs, its official religious authority, its commitment to Iran’s independence, and its ability to provide a stable base of social support. All of these have now been irretrievably undone.
" (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/01/opinion/01iht-edbanisadr.html).

The Kurds are saying that three Americans tourists have been captured by the Iranian authorities after accidentally(?) crossing the boarder from Iraq (http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/07/31/iran.american.tourists/index.html).

Tax Burden - Bottom 95% Pay Less Then Top 1%

The tax burden of the top 1% is now greater than that of the bottom 95%. Head to the source to see the graph.

http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog/show/24944.html

"Remarkably, the share of the tax burden borne by the top 1 percent now exceeds the share paid by the bottom 95 percent of taxpayers combined. In 2007, the bottom 95 percent paid 39.4 percent of the income tax burden. This is down from the 58 percent of the total income tax burden they paid twenty years ago.

To put this in perspective, the top 1 percent is comprised of just 1.4 million taxpayers and they pay a larger share of the income tax burden now than the bottom 134 million taxpayers combined.

Obama Selects 16 Medal of Freedom Recipients

Obama has announced his list of 16 people who will receive the Medal of Freedom.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-obama-medal-freedom31-2009jul31,0,1309581.story

"President Obama, attempting to spotlight those who have acted as "agents of change," announced Thursday that he would bestow the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country's highest civilian honor, on a cast of living and deceased figures widely known in politics, the arts and sciences, sports and social movements.

The 16 honorees named by the White House include Harvey Milk, ... late Republican congressman Jack Kemp, a onetime pro football standout as well, and ailing Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.

The president's choices, who will be honored at a White House ceremony Aug. 12, include the Rev. Joseph Lowery, an American civil rights activist; and Desmond Tutu, the South African archbishop and Nobel laureate. They include a pioneer in sports for women, tennis star Billie Jean King; and the first woman on the U.S. Supreme Court, retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

Actor Sidney Poitier and singer Chita Rivera were also named. Among the honorees from the international scene are British cosmologist Stephen Hawking and Mary Robinson
"

Ace is none to pleased with at least two of the selections;

http://ace.mu.nu/archives/290334.php

"You all remember Rev. Joe's disgraceful benediction from the inauguration (YouTube link, sorry, embedding disabled):



'Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when


Black will not be asked to get in back;

When Brown can stick around;

When Yellow will be mellow;

When the Red Man can get ahead, man;

And when White will embrace what is right.



That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen. Say Amen...



The theme (WTF?) of this years list according to the White House is "Agents of change. . . . They have blazed trails and broken down barriers." So, of course, they had to include Ted Kennedy, famous for breaking glass and climbing to safety.

Berman Post: How Obama Should Have Handled The Iranian Protests

How Obama Should Have Handled The Iranian Protests

On more then one occasion in this series (Iranian Revolution (GR88)) I have been critical of how the Obama administration has/is handling the situation in Iran. I thought that my reasoning was clear, but based on a recent comment it seems that assumption was wrong. Given the length of the series, a mini summation/explanation of what he should have done and why this is so important seems warranted.

First, what you should not do. You should not ignore the situation, nor say that both candidates are the same, nor wait weeks before commenting that we are somehow 'paying attention', nor put out statements instead of getting in front of the camera himself.

I believe this story to be among the most important of the year. That is in large part the reason for all the links you see below; a round up post every day. The election was not important. The candidates were very similar, and had the vote not been rigged chances are things would have continued on the same course just with a different president. The fact that the people took to the streets to demand a free and fair election is what matters. The fact that they kept and keep taking to the streets despite knowing the grave risk they face matters.

What happens in Iran matters to the rest of the world. The most looming issue is their acquisition of nuclear weapons. They can not be allowed to get those weapons. Before the protests broke out, our two choices were to convince them to stop trying to produce the bomb (not likely) or physically stop them with a bombing campaign (not pretty). The protests presented us with a third and much more pleasant option. One that we have all but wasted. Less looming, but equally important, is the effect a democratic Iran would have had on Islamic terrorism. Today the terrorists have a two pillar support system. Saudi Arabia supports the ideology of the movement and Iran provides the weapons. If Iran 'goes under' the terrorist groups would have a serious supply problem. Terrorist would not go away, but it would take a hit. I think it may be roughly equivalent to the effect the USSR collapsing had on Communism. Sure, there are still a few communist countries around, but they are no where near the level of power and influence they used to have. Not only would it have devastated terrorism, but could have easily lead to a domino effect of other Middle Eastern countries democratizing.

So what should Obama have done? On the first day you can comment on the protesters. Something along the lines of "We are glad to see a Peaceful demonstrations for a free and fair democracy." At the first sign of a forceful government crackdown Obama should have come out and said roughly "It is Unacceptable for a government to intentionally Massacre its unarmed citizens who's only offense is peacefully marching for freedom. Continued wholesale slaughter of the innocent protesters will have consequences for the Iranian officials who order it or obey those orders." Note the intentional omission of the word government or authorities when referring the officials. If the violence continued for a second day, Obama should have acted to completely isolate Iranian government while helping the protesters get their message out. We keep hearing how popular Obama is around the world, and I imagine it would not be a hard sell as far as the democratic world is concerned. The Iranian people would no doubt suffer along with the government short term and possibly even suffer more. Asked if they mind walking because gasoline shipments have been cut off because that means that the government thugs will not be able to ride around on motorcycles beating them, I think the protesters would not mind. The alternative to the short term pain is a life spent under a brutal dictatorship. Again, I think they would pick short term pain for long term freedom.

Instead we have essentially turned our back on one of the most pivotal democratic movements of our time. It will be reason for others currently living under oppression to think twice before trying to win their own freedom, forced to consider the possibility (probability?) that the United States will sit back and watch them get destroyed.

A Perfect Game And Two Grand Slams by a Player in a Game in a Week

The last week has seen two rare events for baseball fans. Buehrle through a Perfect game.

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hlmjjhjgTw4Faf7RQDuOSoY1_avwD99KCR802

"Mark Buehrle pitched the first perfect game in the major leagues in five years Thursday and Chicago White Sox center fielder DeWayne Wise got the assist. Buehrle (11-3) got a great catch from center fielder Wise leading off the ninth inning to save the bid — and the 5-0 shutout of the Tampa Bay Rays."

This was the 18th recorded Perfect Game (http://mlb.com/mlb/history/rare_feats/index.jsp?feature=perfect_game). He got a call from Obama congratulating him (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5i_d-K3l3KLAXKoPedMHhBniyyrSgD99KEBFG3).

A few days later Willingham hit two Grand Slams in the same game.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=290727108

"Josh Willingham put the ball from his second grand slam, inscribed with all the details, into an acrylic cube. His bat was staying in circulation for now, even if the Hall of Fame asked for the lumber.

"No, no way," he said. "Well, when I break it, I'll give it to them."

Willingham hit two grand slams and tied a franchise record with eight RBIs, powering the Washington Nationals to a 14-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night.
"

He became only the 13th player to hit two Grand Slams in the same game (http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats11.shtml).

Microsoft-Yahoo Search Deal

Microsoft and Yahoo have inked out and signed a search deal. You can read the official press release at http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/29/microsoft-yahoo-search-deal-the-official-press-release. Basically, Bing (Microsoft's search engine) is taking over for Yahoo's search for ten years. That means the same results you would get from Bing you will get in Yahoo. Microsoft can use Yahoo's search technology if it wants. Yahoo will take over as the sales force for the premium search of both. They will each still own separate display advertising business and their own sales force.

The market thinks Microsoft got the better end of this deal (http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/29/yahoo-shareholders-transfer-29-billion-to-microsoft-shareholders).

Iranian Revolution (Day Forty-Seven)

Update (7/30/2009):Berman Post: Iranian Revolution (Day Forty-Eight). End of Update:

Clinton on Iran; ""We believe that it is imperative for (Iran) ... to release political prisoners and treat them appropriately and humanely," said Clinton, adding that the continued detention and alleged abuse of prisoners suggested the political situation inside of Iran had not been resolved." (http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSWBT011513). Forty-seven days and the Obama administration is still only inching closer to taking a stance which is strong enough.

"Iran police 'went to extremes' in post-vote unrest" (http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=101948§ionid=351020101). So says Ismail Ahmadi-Moqaddam (Iran's police chief) of all people.

The Iranian authorities are still trying to shift the blame of Neda's death onto the protesters (http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=101954§ionid=351020101). Participate in the http://SilentWave.info in remembrance of her (via http://idiomagic.livejournal.com/145765.html).

A report on the state of prisons for women in Iran and it is not pretty (http://keepingthechange.blogspot.com/2009/07/two-reports-from-revolutionary-road.html).

First round of protesters set to stand trial on August 1st (http://niacblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/3927).

More infighting between Iranian authorities; " Two important developments over the past few days suggest that a possible confrontation may be under way between Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, and the high command of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

One development was the order issued by Ayatollah Khamenei overruling Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s appointment of Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei as his First Vice President (Iran’s president has eight vice presidents). The second was the firing of ultra hardliner Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejehei, the Minister of Intelligence.
" (http://tehranbureau.com/looming-confrontation-khamenei-irgc).

"Mousavi and Karroubi will attend the memorial service tomorrow"; looks like there is going to be a show down (http://niacblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/mousavi-and-karroubi-will-attend-the-memorial-service-tomorrow).

Iran will be holding joint naval exercises with Russia in the Caspian Sea (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1248277918787&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull).

FaceBook won control of the ".ir" extension of the name "Facebook". The ".ir" is the country code of Iran. It may not be much help to the protesters though as the government has blocked the site. "Social networking site Facebook has won control of a Web address using its name and the country suffix .ir for Iran.

The U.N.'s World Intellectual Property Organization says current owner Majid Karimian Ghannad of Yazd, Iran, has to transfer the domain name — facebook.ir — to the U.S.-based site.

The Geneva-based U.N. agency says Ghannad registered the domain in bad faith and had no right to the name.
" (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gFyUd7d94IrbS7v06ZSt6gkjF_lgD99NJDQ02).

Let me end with an email I got from Gwyndyn Alexander (http://idiomagic.livejournal.com) who passed on a note from a correspondence in Iran.

"Hello, and thank you for all your work on compiling information about Iran.

I have been exchanging emails with three people in Tehran, and I received this from Fayah today:

"I love life. I love to laugh and be with my friends. There are so many books I want to read, movies I want to see, people I want to meet. I want to marry, to be a good wife and mother. I want to grow old with the people I love, to feel the sun on my face, to see the ocean, to travel.

My country is in a terrible state. People have no jobs. There is no money. People have no freedom. Women must hide themselves from the world, and we have no choices.

Our people--we are not terrorists. We hate terrorists. And that is what our government has become. They kill our people for no reason. They torture us in their prisons because we want freedom. They make our country look evil, they make our religion look evil.

We are fighting for our freedom, for our religion, for our country. If we do nothing while injustice abounds, we become unjust. We turn into the ones we hate.

I have to fight. I have to go back on the streets. I will make them kill me. I will join Neda, with my friends, and then maybe the world will hear us.

I never thought I would become a martyr, but it is needed. The more of us they kill, the smaller they become, the more strength the people will have. Maybe my death will mean nothing, but maybe it will buy my country freedom.

I am very sad that I will never be a mother, that I will never do the things I love, but I would rather die than do nothing and know that I am to blame for the tortures, the murder, the hatred.

Please tell the world how much we love life. That we are not terrorists. We just want to be free."

She and her friends desperately want their voices to be heard. If you feel it is appropriate, please repost her letter.

Thank you
"

"$100 Million Savings Challenge" Completed

The Obama administration is a week late (Berman Post: Obama Administration Misses $100 Million Cut in 90 Days Deadline), but they now have the purposed $100 Million in budget cuts dubbed the "$100 Million Savings Challenge" (Berman Post: Obama Orders $100 Million of $3.5 Trillion Budget Identified to Cut and Berman Post: Obama's $100M budget Cut Visualized).

Among the revelations that took more then 90 days to come up with are double-sided-printing and forgoing printing using emails instead.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124882436513388423.html

"Three months ago, President Barack Obama ordered his cabinet secretaries to find $100 million in budget cuts for the current fiscal year to emphasize the point that he, too, was serious about belt-tightening. They responded with $102 million. That is 0.006% of the estimated federal deficit.

The list of 77 spending cuts, which the White House is calling "the $100 million savings challenge," reflects the vastness of government -- and its vast inefficiency. Hundreds of millions of dollars in savings were found simply by casting around for areas to trim.

Still, the reductions barely scratch the surface. "Some of these cuts are so small they would be a rounding error of a rounding error in the federal budget," said Brian Riedl, a federal budget expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation. They also show how "unbelievably outdated" the government is, he said.

Henry Louis Gates Has a Tax Problem

Henry Louis Gates, of recent likely false racist cop accusation controversy (Berman Post: Obama - 'I do Not Have All The Facts, But The Police Acted Stupidly'), has (had?) a tax problem. Since the 'mischaracterization' was publicized, Gates has taken steps to fix it.

At least it is not another Obama nominee.

Senate Judiciary Committee Votes in Favor of Sotomayor

A this point it is extremely unlikely that Sotomayor will not be confirmed. The only real question is how many Republicans will cross over and vote with the likely unanimous Democrats.

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2009/07/024146.php

"The Senate Judiciary Committee has voted in favor of the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. The count was 13-6.

It was nearly a straight party-line vote. All 12 Democrats voted in favor of Sotomayor; six of seven Republicans voted against.

The one Republican who voted with the Democrats for President Obama's left-liberal, disingenuous nominee was Lindsey Graham, who thought it would be a nice gesture.

New Homepage For Twitter

The new Twitter homepage has an almost Google-like feel to it.

http://mashable.com/2009/07/28/twitter-homepage

"the Twitter homepage features a big search box, along with popular topics right now, over the past day, and from this week.




The fresh new look is big departure from the previous homepage, but we’re kind of digging it"

I like it too.

Blue M&Ms Could be Used to Reduce Damage Caused by Spine Injuries

More accurately, the dye used in Blue M&Ms could be used to reduce damage caused by spine injuries. It is the same dye that is used in Gatorade. The treatment may cause temporary 'Smurfification' (turning blue).

http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/07/28/spinal.injury.blue.dye/index.html

"The same blue food dye found in M&Ms and Gatorade could be used to reduce damage caused by spine injuries, offering a better chance of recovery, according to new research.

Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center found that when they injected the compound Brilliant Blue G (BBG) into rats suffering spinal cord injuries, the rodents were able to walk again, albeit with a limp.

The only side effect was that the treated mice temporarily turned blue.

Iranian Revolution (Day Forty-Six)

Update (7/29/2009):Berman Post: Iranian Revolution (Day Forty-Seven). End of Update:

Iraq gets involved, sort of; "Iraqi soldiers and riot police stormed a camp housing Iran's main exiled opposition on Tuesday, triggering violent clashes that left at least 260 people wounded.

The seizure of Camp Ashraf, which was disarmed by the United States in 2003 and surrounded by American forces until recently, comes after months of a tense stand-off at the base north of Baghdad.
" (http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jk9Aa-HBor7PRe_J45X4wYDsgd_w).

If you thought forcibly preventing people from morning the loss of the protesters was a one time deal reserved special for Neda, you were wrong (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aSqMqkCu9Yo0).

Detention center closed (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/29/world/middleeast/29iran.html)? More importantly, what does that mean for the fate of those that are/were inside? The BBC is reporting that 140 protesters were released (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8173113.stm). I have a feeling there were many more in that prison though.

"'Dictaplomacy'", Iranian style (http://www.forbes.com/2009/07/24/iran-foreign-policy-strategy-opinions-contributors-dictaplomacy.html).

The Times Online (UK) still thinks the protesters have a chance (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/rosemary_righter/article6728235.ece). For the sake of the world, I hope they are correct. I also agree with their assessment.

Be sure to check the coverage at http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2009/07/day-45-iran-revolution-dont-let-them-kill-my-father.html and http://americanpowerblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/mousavi-calls-for-new-protests-next.html.

[Publishing note: I know this is going up earlier then usual but it was either that or very late. Depending on the time, I will either update this if I get back earlier then I think or put everything else that happens today in the round up tomorrow.]

Obama Was Against Rushing Budgets/Bills Before he Decided to do it

Seems Obama was more upset about who was doing the rushing then the rushing itself.

Video embedded below. (from http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2009/07/27/obama-2004-bush-rushed-legislationthrough-congress-without-allowing-ti)



" BARACK OBAMA: ...When you rush these budgets that are a foot high and nobody has any idea what's in them and nobody has read them.

RANDI RHODES: 14 pounds it was!

BARACK OBAMA: Yeah. And it gets rushed through without any clear deliberation or debate then these kinds of things happen. And I think that this is in some ways what happened to the Patriot Act. I mean you remember that there was no real debate about that. It was so quick after 9/11 that it was introduced that people felt very intimidated by the administration.

Conyers - "What Good is Reading The Bill if it’s a Thousand Pages And You Don’t Have Two Days And Two Lawyers to Find Out What it Means"

John Conyers (D-Mich.) (chairman of the House Judiciary Committee); "During his speech at a National Press Club luncheon, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Democratic Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich.), questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health care bill.

“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers.

“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”
" (http://hotair.com/archives/2009/07/27/video-conyers-scoffs-at-doing-his-job).

What exactly is his job again? Here is a thought; take the two days, get the two lawyers and know what it is you are actually voting for BEFORE changing the laws in unforeseen ways. If you need more then two days and two lawyers, chances are the bill is to long and complicated so you should simplify it to make sure it says what you really want it to say. If that is do difficult, take the extra day and hire the extra lawyers.

Now Officially 'Tweeting'

"Updates" in Twitter are now officially known as "Tweets".

http://mashable.com/2009/07/27/updates-tweets

"Since pretty much its inception, Twitter (Twitter) has asked you to “update” your status, whether by web, by application, or by text. Unofficially, this has been known as “tweeting,” but that isn’t language Twitter ever used on its website.

That is, until today. Twitter has begun to change the use of the word “update” to the word “tweet.” It’s a small language change, but carries implications for the microblogging startup. This comes off the heels of the news that Twitter trademarked the word “tweet” and the AP Stylebook declaring “to tweet” legitimate grammar.

Iranian Revolution (Day Forty-Five)

Update (7/28/2009):Berman Post: Iranian Revolution (Day Forty-Six). End of Update:

Mousavi declares the protests will continue; "Iran's opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi said on Monday the pro-reform protests which erupted after the country's disputed June presidential vote will continue, his website reported.

"The pro-reform path will continue," Mousavi said in a statement. "The establishment should respect the constitution and let us to gather to commemorate our killed loved ones on Thursday."
" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090727/ts_nm/us_iran_mousavi). More at http://hotair.com/archives/2009/07/27/mousavi-protests-will-continue-until-regime-backs-down and http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/28/world/middleeast/28iran.html.

Large scale protests and demonstrations may be subsiding (http://keepingthechange.blogspot.com/2009/07/voice-of-america-iran-protests-subside.html), but 'phase two' is picking up the slack; "The second phase plays out in a boycott of goods advertised on state-controlled television. Just try buying a certain brand of dairy product, an Iranian human-rights activist told me, and the person behind you in line is likely to whisper, "Don't buy that. It's from an advertiser." It includes calls to switch on every electric appliance in the house just before the evening TV news to trip up Tehran's grid. It features quickie "blitz" street demonstrations, lasting just long enough to chant "Death to the dictator!" several times but short enough to evade security forces. It involves identifying paramilitary Basij vigilantes linked to the crackdown and putting marks in green — the opposition color — or pictures of protest victims in front of their homes. It is scribbled antiregime slogans on money. And it is defiant drivers honking horns, flashing headlights and waving V signs at security forces.

The tactics are unorganized, largely leaderless and only just beginning. They spread by e-mail, websites and word of mouth. But their variety and scope indicate that Iran's uprising is not a passing phenomenon like the student protests of 1999, which were quickly quashed. This time, Iranians are rising above their fears.
" ([read the whole thing] http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1912941,00.html).

With so many companies on the verge of bankruptcy (http://niacblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/150-prominent-iranian-companies-are-on-the-verge-of-bankruptcy), the boycotts could have a real and quick impact.

More turmoil in the government, the intelligence minister was fired (http://keepingthechange.blogspot.com/2009/07/al-jazeera-iran-intelligence-minister.html). With Harandi resignation, Ahmadinejad’s cabinet may no longer be official (http://niacblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/26/harandi-resigns-ahmadinejad’s-cabinet-no-longer-official). Mehrabian (Iranian Minister) being found guilty of fraud is not helping things (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/27/ali-akbar-mehrabian-iran_n_245724.html).

The official legal ruling on the protesters will be delivered within the week; "The head of Iran's judiciary has ordered a decision within a week on the fate of prisoners arrested after disputed elections, Iranian media say." (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8170847.stm).

Protest video "from yesterday, in front the headquarters of IRIB, Iran's state-backed media" (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/27/iran-uprising-blogging-mo_n_245229.html).
