I am sorry to report
that the expectations we all had to seeing the Jews discard their state of
delusion and come to grips with reality, has not panned out. They continue to
see the world through the lens of the cocoon in which they live, and continue
to advise their followers in the American Congress of fools on the basis of
erroneous information, ignorant analysis and dubious motivation.
You get a sense of
the full panoply of this unfolding horror when you read the article that came
under the title: “Iran Deal Huge Victory for Regime's Hardliners,” written by
Lee Smith and published in the Weekly Standard on July 21, 2015. He basically
says that yes, the hardliners benefited from the sanctions regime which put
them in the strong position where they currently sit. But now that they are
there, relaxing the sanctions will not chase them out of that position … in
fact, will even make them stronger.
He uses the economic
argument to develop his thesis. He begins with the $150 billion of Iran 's own
money that will be returned to the Iranians – a sum of money he calls “signing
bonus” and “cash windfall.” Sadly, using such misnomers already says something
about the level of seriousness he brings to the discussion on a subject that's
as important as this. But the point he makes revolves around the idea that the
hardliners, known as the Revolutionary Guards, have taken control of a big
chunk of the economy, and the money that the country will receive will go to
them … which is how they will get stronger.
Lee Smith then
advances a curious kind of argument to make the last point stick, which he uses
to counter and refute the thesis of the Obama administration that contends the
Iranians will use the money to repair their economy, revitalize it and catch up
on what they missed during the time that the sanctions were imposed on them.
No, says Smith, this is not going to happen because that kind of transformation
is the exclusive purview of people like the Israelis and the Americans who know
how to run a modern, competitive and thriving economy, something that is
totally alien to the people of Iran .
He goes on to say
that even the German, Italian and Japanese investors who will go look for
opportunities in Iran , will
not be able to do anything about that situation because “Iranian society has
none of the basic features that would drive a vital and dynamic economy like Israel 's or America 's.” He disparages the
Iranian educational system which, he says, does not produce the IT innovators
or entrepreneurs that can make software and apps.
Thus, he concludes
that “Obama may believe that Iran
has the makings of a very impressive regional power, but the reality is that Iran 's economy
is one of the least dynamic in the world.” He then gets into a polemic that is
reminiscent of what is said hush-hush about Israel 's ambiguous pretense it has
a nuclear arsenal. Look at this:
“The hard thing to
do is not figuring out the science it takes to build a bomb – some U.S. high
schoolers know how to do it. The hard thing rather is to build the technical,
economic, and industrial infrastructure it takes to manufacture the bomb. The
Iranians are incapable of making almost all of this.”
If anything, this
says that Lee Smith has no idea Iran
has all of this and more … much more. In fact, it is a lot more difficult to
produce the centrifuges than to produce the components which are needed to make
the bomb and assemble it. Iran is not only making first generation centrifuges,
it is making the more advanced version, and has a program to research and
develop even more advanced centrifuges, something that is giving heartburn to
the likes of Netanyahu and those who speak on his behalf.
If Israel were to
duplicate Iran's industrial base relying solely on its Jewish workers, it will
have to shut down all of its manufacturing plants, retrain all of its blue
collar workers and turn the whole country into a North Korea style highly
disciplined society, living on a bowl of rice a day and working like dogs.
