- ARCHIV -

Rebellog-The libertarian Cabinet is mainstream-resistent, unconventional, critical and straight forward. We believe in the principle of self-ownership. With regard to economic and political questions we hold radical-libertarian views. We are pro-capitalist and believe that any form of socialism creates poverty. Our position is clearly pro-American and pro-Israeli. We resist left-wing and right-wing freedom enemies. Our web pages have been on-line for about one and a half years. We endeavour to design our web pages in bi-lingual format (English/German). Blog.rebellog is the Blog page for Rebellog.

IRAN - oder "wo man Amis noch mag "

Nach Ahmadinejad, seinen Auftritten und intelligenten Äußerungen haben wir jetzt (wieder) ein ganz klares Bild vom Iran. Deutsche Medien, sensationsgeil, pro forma entrüstet, aber mit dem bekannten Tunnelblick und der auch sattsam bekannten Einseitigkeitsschreibe vermittelt uns ein Bild vom Iran wie es falscher nicht sein kann. Der lahme Protest gegen Ahmadinejads Holocost-Gedanken und die gleichzeitige Freude über unsere Handelsbeziehungen sind unaufrichtig, ja verlogen. Die Schreibtischjournaille hat zwar einen PC auf dem Tisch, aber das was nicht ins Konzept passt wird gar nicht erst angesurft und findet schon gar keinen Eingang in die Berichterstattung. Dann müsste man ja zugegeben, das es noch Leute gibt die sich für Amerika begeistern. Wo? Im IRAN.

What I like

I could never say anything as bad about Iran or Iranians as Iranians say about each other and their country. I guess that is why I am surprised that many Iranians think that I am only critical about Iran. (It’s too bad K has not posted in such a long time, because his posts make mine look more positive.)

Here is what I like:

I like being an American here. Everyone is so nice to me. Everyone seems to think that Americans are wonderful. One restaurant owner had to restrain himself from hugging me when he discovered that I was American. People shake my hand. They talk to me. Sometimes they tell me that they don’t like Bush, but they always tell me how much they like Americans. This is so refreshing after a couple of years of living in Europe where all I heard was how evil Americans were.

I like the fact that I can get a really good challah at a bakery in Tehran. It’s almost as good as my grandmother’s, but not quite.

I like the fact that everyone has an opinion and that they tell me what they think. I like all the complaining and grousing. I like all of the discussions. I like that people are unafraid to voice their opinions.

I like learning Persian. I enjoy speaking the language.

I like the way that Iranians are dissatisfied with their society and their government. I like that they are working to change it (slowly). One thing I always complain about in the Netherlands is that Dutch people are too satisfied. Everything seems finished there. Everything bad that happens in the Netherlands is the fault of their immigrants. In Iran (like America, I think), there is a sense that society is an ongoing project. Things are most definitely unfinished and moving forward.

I like how K’s sisters care for his mother who is ill. I like that his older brother taught his daughter to wrestle and that he calls her, “My lion.”

I like the way his family helps each other.

I like taking the bus between cities.

I like the fact that Iranians have managed to hold on to their cultural identity despite efforts to squelch it.

I love pistachios.

Anarchy is not chaos. It is not destruction. It is simply the absence of "government."

The agency most people erroneously identify as "government" today is in reality a gang of lawyers, armed thugs, and con artists backed by an army of bureaucrats, which operates an immense array of protection and other rackets financed through extortion and fraud.
