How to Bring Down the Government of Iran

The Green Revolution in Iran lost its ability to communicate its message while President Obama was seeking his nuclear deal with the government. Harsh and cruel crackdowns that included beatings, decapitations and murder silenced the aspirations of the Iranian people for freedom of speech and other freedoms. What can they do now? How can they advance their prospects for self-sufficiency and self-determination? I suggest a Green Revolution of Silence.

To the Iranian people, I’d like to suggest that you starve your government of money, go on strike, and keep from the government the very things it needs to oppress you. It may require short-term suffering but certainly not the level of suffering you have experienced for decades. Here is how it can be done:

1. Stay in your homes after work and refuse to enjoy your free time until the government falls. If you have vacation time available, take it but spend little. This keeps you out of trouble, reduces commerce and yet is a form of protest.
2. Hoard your money, hide it and do not put it in a bank; temporarily remove it from circulation. The government needs a working economy in order to pay for operations. If you save your money and refuse to buy anything, there will be fewer taxes the government can collect.
3. Reduce or stop your production if possible. The government can only collect taxes when surplus wealth is created. If there is no surplus wealth, the government will begin to experience budget deficits.
4. Keep silent and do only what you are told and nothing more. Volunteer no new ideas and act as uf ignorant when you are asked for an opinion or idea.
5. If you can, do only enough to achieve bare subsistence. This should also be done by merchants and factory owners whose taxes feed the economy. If you can sabotage production without being caught, do so.
6. Do not start new businesses or borrow money for major purchases. This will slow the economy and start the process of economic decline that is necessary for the government to fall.
7. If you are a student, learn your lessons and get good grades, but take no position of leadership and show only the support of silence. The entire society should walk in silence without smiles. This is a form of protest.
8. If you are an employee of the government or even a police officer, do everything you can to help the people without being noticed and, if you can, refuse to follow orders. Never ask a citizen to provide you with information. If you can get away with it provide false information to the government. This will be important because the new government, once it is formed, will need good people.
9. Whenever possible, grow your own food and make your own energy but do nothing to improve your standard of living until you are free.
10. If you trade with others, trade in such a way that it is out of sight of government and without reporting. Barter, create your own private currencies and make only verbal agreements that are out of sight of the government. Trust each other and deal only with people who do not support the government.
11. If possible, take advantage of every benefit the government provides so it is spending money on you that it cannot spend on weapons and oppression. Only take a government job if you can sabotage the government without being noticed. Take but never give back.

With a protest of this kind, a silent protest, the government cannot last long, and it will either have to capitulate or fall. Governments need money in order to function and if you can starve them of money, you can win.

After all, you are the highest value in your society; they are the parasites.

Taking Credit

Please note: I am the first person who discovered the significance of the "Dolphin and Anchor" motif as an indication that Titus was the model for Jesus. I discovered this in 2007 and recorded it in a dated document which I still possess. I made one person aware of this at the time and shared the document with him. I published an edited version of this document in my book Unkilling Jesus which I published in 2015. I am also the first person that I know of who has published a suggestion that Peter was actually Josephus, the man who led "the Church" (Really the Titus Cult) in the first century AD. Many of the things attributed in the Bible to Peter were very likely done by Josephus as the first person to recognize the divinity of the Flavians and who went about the empire preaching the power of these three men.

Other suggestions I have made:

• That Paul actually met Titus on the Road to Damascus
• That Paul went to Rome with Josephus as a captive of the Flavians
• That Paul actually wrote many of his works while employed by the Flavians
• That Paul was killed by Domitian not Nero
• That Peter (Josephus) was also killed by Domitian not Nero
• That Paul may have been both Justus son of Pistus and Appolonius of Tyana - the word Pistus is Greek for "faith" or "persuaded by faith" so Justus/Paul was a man persuaded by faith in Jesus - this is not the only clue
• I showed how the timelines of Paul, Josephus and Jesus/Titus were changed, exposed the contradictions in the timeline and showed that many of the acts of Titus were back-dated and attributed to Jesus
• I analyzed the works of Suetonius and found the Christian connections in his works
• I provided a theory on how the gospels were written and why, as well as how and why Titus's name became Jesus
• I exposed the origins of the Last Supper and put Paul on the scene

Jobs or Moldy Cheese?

Have you ever noticed that the richest people on the planet have made millions by improving our lives and work? Yet, they are considered evil because they made a profit. Henry Ford lightened our travel, J. D. Rockefeller gave us better energy to power our machines. Steve Jobs, helped us organize ourselves and communicate better. Bill Gates made us more productive and richer. But they weren't considered good men until they started giving away their riches to people who had not earned them.

The richest men in the world have done the most good in comparison to the do-gooders who claim to love the poor. The rich eliminated poverty by giving us jobs. The whiners created poverty by destroying production. The whiners kept people poor by giving them the money of the rich.

If Bill Gates had taken the money he borrowed to create Microsoft and given it to the poor, would there be a Microsoft? How many poor would there be? So when you hear people saying "Be kind to others" you are hearing the most inefficient way of helping others. The best way to help people is to invest your money in a profit-seeking company. It will also help you too.

I've always said, give people a job not a block of moldy cheese.

Tismaneanu on Nationalism

I am opposed to nationalism. The concept is collectivist in nature and throughout history it has had devastating consequences. It is not possible to put American citizens first and have a nationalist theme. Because nationalism is collectivist, it is a virulent form of putting the individual's importance beneath the nation (dictatorship) rather than free and alone. Eventually, regardless of the intent of the nationalist to save his nation (Hitler also said he was trying to save his nation), the result is a devastated nation, isolated and in ruins. Please, we must challenge this nonsensical perspective. The only proper nation is one in which the individual is autonomous and free. The opposite of nationalism is individual rights. Limited government is the key, not one man rule.

Below is a quote on nationalism from an excellent book cited below.

"Ethnic nationalism appeals more often than not to primary instincts of unity and identification with one’s own group: foreigners are often seen as vicious destabilizers, dishonest breakers of traditions, and agents of dissolution. Nationalism, indeed, sanctifies tradition, once described by Gilbert K. Chesterton as the “right to vote granted to the dead people.” Especially in times of social frustration, foreigners tend to be demonized and scapegoated. A Ukrainian nationalist, for instance, would see Russians (or Jews) as forever conspiring to undermine Ukraine’s independence and prosperity. A Romanian would regard members of the Hungarian minority as belonging to a unified body perpetually involved in subversive and irredentist activities. A Croatian militant nationalist would never trust Serbs, while Serbian ethnic fundamentalists would involve Croatia’s alliance with Nazi Germany as an argument against trust and ethnic coexistence. Estonian, Latvian, or Lithuanian nationalism are colored by the memory of the Soviet (and previously Russian) occupations of the Baltic states. National discourses not only preserve a sense of ethnic identity but also continuously “reinvent the tradition” (Hobsbawm), regenerate historical mythology, infuse an infra-rational, transcendental content into a sense of national identity. During imperial collapse, nationalism becomes an ideological balm used to calm sentiments of despondency and rage.

“With its shattered identities and wavering loyalties, the post-Communist world allowed delusional xenophobic fantasies to thrive and capture the imagination of millions of disaffected individuals. National homogenization became the battle cry of political elites, for whom unity and cohesion were the ultimate values. The Leninist exclusionary logic (“us” versus “them”) has been replaced by the nationalist vision, which sanctifies the ethnic in-group and demonizes “aliens.” Those who criticize this trend are immediately stigmatized as a “fifth column” made up of “inside enemies.” For the late Croatian president, Franjo Tudjman, for instance, it was only the intellectuals supportive of the “national spirit and self-determination” who deserved the name of intelligentsia. All others, he maintained, were just Pharisees. The continuous invention of enemies and hatreds aggravates the climate of insecurity and makes many honest individuals despair about the future of their societies.” - The Devil in History, Vladimir Tismaneanu, Hardcover, University of California Press, Page 187. https://amzn.to/2Q856cz

Netflix and Robert Reich "Saving Capitalism"

It would be nice if they would actually ask a capitalist how to save capitalism. Netflix does not have a clue and they think they are doing a service to the American people by featuring a man (Reich) who actually hates capitalism. It is like asking Karl Marx what he would do to save capitalism. We've heard it all before: Capitalist corporations exploit workers, they pay too little and they are crooks. Robert Reich was an Obama favorite who once suggested that Obama's jobs program ensure that only minorities got jobs. How can an anti-capitalist save capitalism? Here's the answer:

Anti-capitalists are ruining capitalism by interfering in the free market.

It is the old "men must sacrifice if we are to have a Utopian future" lie. Orwell taught us about the evil of the Big Lie. Progressives think he was making a suggestion. Goebbels would be proud while Orwell would have said, "I warned you."

Book Review of 100 Voices – An Oral History of Ayn Rand

by Scott McConnell

By Robert Villegas

This was one of the most enjoyable reading experiences of my life. I was mesmerized by the descriptions of Ayn Rand throughout her life. This book provides a series of interviews of people who had known Ayn Rand throughout her life. It gives many delightful perspectives on one of the rarest and most interesting individuals to have lived. That she was born a Russian, educated in Russia and escaped to America is not the least of it. Her dedication to values, the various impressions she made on people and the sheer consistency of her actions, ideas and relationships is impressive and inspiring.

As someone who has been studying and “living” her philosophy since my teens, I was amazed by the many new insights I received on her life. Indeed, I was fortunate to have known some of the people interviewed and this provided additional pleasure to me because I had not known they had met her. I was intrigued by many of the famous actors, authors and celebrities who also knew her. Indeed, I gained a new respect for some of them by learning of their reaction to Ayn Rand. I especially loved the descriptions of her personality and the first-hand experiences by people who saw her on a regular basis.

I had never met Ayn Rand as a youth. I had only seen her once at the Ford Hall Forum in Boston after her lung operation. That vision is something I will never forget. This book filled the gap for me and gave me a sense of what she would have thought of me had I been fortunate enough to have met her. This book helped me envision how she felt as she lived the various events of her life. She was indeed monumental.

I am glad that I read this book.
