“It’s more than that. She (Danielle Allen) subscribes to the notion that the congregation of folks on the Internet who adhere to one political philosophy (almost always conservative) is dangerous and should be opposed”.
Her attitude has just been echoed by Islamic Iran’s President, Ahmadi-Nejad the Turd. He said that “ if the proliferation of computers in the country continues as it is now, it will destroy the country (meaning the regime) within THREE years”!
Obviously bloggers, Emails etc., despite the Mullahs having reduced the speed to as close to a crawl as they can, still allows for quick communication nationawide.
The Mullahs snatched the Soviet/(Khomeini) 1979 revolution from the Marxist-Islamist Mojaheddin and Fedayeen Soviet representatives because after strikes and social disobedience had shut down the organized government, the MOSQUES were the only national network (via phone in those days) that remained and gave the power to the Mullahs.
Now, the Internet may end up being the downfall of the Mullahs by providing a national network to help run the country when they lose power. Double edged sword but a notable one.
For instance, when Abas Palizdar, the whistle blower who outed some 51 clerics and senior adminisration officials with a detailed list of their corruption (eleven have been arrested - unavoidably, as their transgression was impossible to deny) - when Palizdar was arrested, there were immediate demonstrations in several cities as a reaction to his arrest.
Sidebar: the Abbas Palizbar who was first arrested (based on a single, private party complaint) turned out to be a wrong one! Same names. After the antimullah demonstrations in a handful of cities protesting the arrest, they released the ‘wrong’ Palizdar, who was accused in retaliation for corruption in the dairy industry.
A couple of days later they “re-arrested” the one they had originally targeted.
I have not had time to check the date and whether it refers to a prior but recent edict that owners of luxury cars would no longer be allowed to buy fuel for their vehicles at the subsidized prices nor receive ration cards.....
The price of gasoline was apparently suddenly upped from the equivalent of about under a $1 per gallon to reportedly four times that. When people woke up to this change, there were immediately protests that once other cities heard about it (Internet) they also held their own demonstrations.
The reason for my lack of clarity till I get a couple of calls back, is that this coincides with Western efforts to impose sanctions to prevent the sale of gasoline and diesel fuel to Islamic Iran. Which, unable to refine enough inside the country, imports nearly half or it’s gasoline requirement from outside.
Double whammy if it works. Blocks movement for the populace (not for the regime) and incites riots by people.
This would potentially more clearly identify/separate military and civilian movement/traffic for our satellites. Just as the sudden movement to reposition missiles by the Mullahs, has hopefully pinpointed where the missiles now are, even if we were not sure before they were moved.
Good email exchange. I hope it continues and if Dr Allen is a logical and fair person she will see you have truth on your side
Bumpitttt.
I would assume an Einstein genius would be logical.
But, by not identifying her financial contributions to the Obama campaign, she's hardly a fair investigator.
Hey, Jeff, aren’t you offended that Danielle Allen and WaPo are not after you yet? (or maybe they are and I missed it)
As one of the best opp researchers on Obama’s lies and frauds I think you deserve to be taken seriously by the ‘genius’ (sic) Danielle Allen and her buds at WaPo.
IMO that's more the burden of the two reporters who glorified her. Like Deep Throat said to Woodward & Bernstein -- "Follow the money". A simple internet check would have uncovered that. I see freepers do that in real time on a busy thread so how hard is that?
The reporters are to blame or perhaps their editor who excised that part
Good points - the Demagogues love to bleat and whine about the supposed “Republican playbook” but what we are witnessing here is very similar to what the Demagogues did in the “MD4Bush” matter — they are trying to pre-empt a whole line of criticism (and then by association many other sorts of criticism) of their candidate by smearing the critics. For all the whining about ‘smears’ these vicious depraved Demagogues do an awful lot of smearing themselves.
Mengaji is key!
My next move with Dr Allen would be — Do you know what a “mengaji” class is? Will you use your superior research abilities and status as a MacArthur Scholar to find out whether Obama went to these Koran recitation classes?
Which expat says only dedicated Muslims sent their children to in the Indonesia of 1967
If she is serious and logical she investigates Obama and his mengaji classes. If she is an ideologue she doesn’t
WaPo should ask Danielle Allen the ‘genius’ (sic) what she knew and when she knew it about charlatans like Wright and Pfleger. Clearly she was there in the midst of the morass of racist preachers on the south side of Chicago — maybe she knew and noticed a bit more than Obama managed to notice in 20 years of listening to Wright?
Since Danielle Allen is a confirmed dishonest flack and campaign contributor for Obama she should be required by the media to explain her links to his campaign and her knowledge of the blatant racism and depravity that have forced Obama to distance himself so dramatically from the likes of Wright and Pfleger.
Heheheh :)
We’ll say it as often as we like and as loud as we like.
Barack Hussein Obama is anti-American.
He might as well be a Muslim.
Even professionals make this mistake. These reporters can be very good at what they do...even the best editor who ever worked for me (15 years ago) called me last year, appalled that she had allowed herself to be lulled into talking with an NYT reporter.
Let that be a lesson to ya.
And to all who are unfamiliar with the workings of the Press.
I believe we will defeat Obama and win this thing in that fashion.
Another BUMP for Beckwith!
It is really hair-curlingly scary to see how many scenarios that have worked for Md dems are then used nationally. We are such a one party state that it is a safe lab for schemers to try out nasty tricks.
Good post FARS. The WWW is spreading it’s Web. Now Google is trying to muffle it.

Bumperooooo......
