Wall St. demos are shaking capitalist system: Supreme Leader of Iran
Tehran Times ^ | 10/13/2011

Posted on 10/12/2011 9:00:30 PM PDT by Lattero

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said that the capitalist system has reached an impasse and the protests on Wall Street have set a crisis in motion in the West.

The Leader made the remarks in an address to thousands of well-wishers in the western Iranian city of Kermanshah on Wednesday.

“The U.S. government may be able to put down this protest movement through taking tough actions, but it will not be able to eliminate its roots,” he stated.

“The roots of this movement will grow in such a way that will knock the U.S. and Western capitalist system to the ground,” the Leader said.

He added, “Although U.S. officials made efforts to play down this protest movement, now they have been compelled to acknowledge it.”

The Leader also criticized U.S. officials and media outlets for remaining silent about the Occupy Wall Street movement, saying, “After the self-proclaimed supporters of freedom of speech were compelled to acknowledge this protest movement, they launched a crackdown on it and demonstrated the true nature of their claims of advocacy of freedom of speech, human rights, and freedom of communities in the system of capitalism and liberal democracy.

“The people of the United States are protesting the rule of the 1 percent minority over the 99 percent majority who have spent the money and taxes paid by the people of the United States on waging wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and supporting the Zionist regime.”

The Leader also said that the realities of the capitalist system should be a lesson to those who are keen to follow the Western capitalist system.

Probably one of the last people I'd like to have on my side, though I'd suspect quite a few of the protesters on Wall Street don't mind and even welcome his words of support.

I’ll believe it when the “Supreme Leader” starts sending some Pizza Supremes with minnows over to the Occuzombies. Until then, he’s full of ****.

Dunno, seems to me that a lot of the capitalist shaking has been with laughter. Like that droll “WE “ARE” “THE” “1%” on the windows of the NY trade building.

K. I know Persians aren't Arabs, and I speak NO persian.... but.... I did some pretty good capitalistic business at the local suk today. I wonder how many Persians and Arabs did the same, buying low, adding value, selling high?

Suk, BTW, is the arab word for market.

These “occupations” will last until it starts to rain. That’ll be the end.

Sounds like he has a bright future writing the Evacuator Movement's press releases.

Hey, wait a minute! I thought Ron Paul was the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution! Did RuPaul lose this election too ?

All kidding aside, this was a very interesting article.

BTTT
