I'll
start this discussion with a French sentence, but don't worry, the rest of the
article is in English. Here is the French part: “Apprenez que tout flatteur vit
aux dépens de celui qui l’écoute.” It is from Jean de la Fontaine's fable, the
Crow and the Fox. Translated into English, the sentence says this: Learn that
every flatterer lives at the expense of the one who listens to him.
And
this is the story that America has not learned since the days when the
so-called Soviet defectors learned from the activities of the Jews in America
that you can get the Americans to give you anything if you know how to flatter
them. And you'll know how to do that when you'll figure out what information the
Americans want at any given moment, and you fabricate a story that convinces
them what you're delivering is the real deal. And there is no deal to an
American that is more real than to hear a story –– however improbable it may be
–– that speaks of America's greatness when it is compared to someone else.
This
is how the trend of suckering America by defectors from Eastern Europe, Iraq
and now Iran, has developed. These people approach the Americans and tell them
stories they want to hear. First the defectors, and now their offspring, who
were born and grew up in America and barely understand the language of their
parents, write articles that tell their American readers how great their
country is. But they don't stop here. They go on to say how much greater it can
become if it would liberate Iran, for example or North Korea, or if it would
defend Taiwan or steal Palestine from its Palestinian owners and give it to
every little fart that calls himself a Jew.
You
have an example of this in an article that came under the title: “How Iran is
Hijacking Racial Tensions In America For Its Own Gain,” written by Seena
Saiedian, and published on June 6, 2020 in The Federalist. If you read this
work purely as a piece of literature in which the writer is parsing the logic
of a situation, you’ll see nothing that is sensational in it.
But
you're not a traveler from outer space that happens to intercept our
communications here on Earth, knowing nothing of the history behind that piece.
Instead, you are of this world and you know of one crucial reality that must be
taken into consideration when evaluating a piece of this sort. It is that
America wants to be the policemen of the world, telling everyone how to live,
whereas Iran wants to live and let live in a world that leaves it alone to be
all that it can be.
This
being the case, hypocrisy as alleged by Seena Saiedan, cannot be attributed to
the Iranians who would point to the events unfolding in America these days, and
say something like this: “Hey America, your slip is showing!” In fact, if there
has been any hypocrisy exhibited during this episode, it was shown and
glaringly so, by an America that had this kind of problems simmering throughout
its society for ages, and yet went around with a straight face, telling others
to shape up, and how to do it.
Seena
Saiedian will do well financially telling Americans that America is perfect
whereas Iran is not. And so will the outfit he founded and called Bears Against
Fundamentalism. And so will the outfit to which he belongs and goes by the
name, Organization of Iranian-American Communities’ Millennial Chapter. They'll
all do well financially because, like the Jews, they found the key to keep on
sucking America's blood. They’ll do it by the method of establishing tax free
foundations that will provide them and their cronies with a high standard of
living at the expense of America’s already impoverished taxpayers.
The
irony is that it took a Jew to work on reversing the trend, having seen the
futility in living a false dream that has no chance of being realized. The Jew
is Richard Haass who wrote: “Foreign Policy By Example,” an article that also
came under the title: “Crisis at home makes the United States vulnerable
abroad.” You may call this work a modern book of lamentations; one that was
published on June 5, 2020 in Foreign Affairs. Reduced to its essence, here is
what the Haass article conveys:
“The
United States has failed to live up to its highest ideals and thereby
undermined its calls for other countries to treat their people better.
Confidence in the American example has been waning for years. Now, however, the
image of a United States consistent with former President Ronald Reagan's
'shining city on a Hill' grows ever more distant in the eyes of the world.
Democracy is in recession around the world, and the ability of the United
States to arrest that retreat is likewise in decline. The turmoil in the United
States raises questions about American power. The US, facing a daunting agenda
is weakened, divided, and distracted”.
