American Basiji
by John T. SimpsonSince Iran’s Green Revolution began on June 12th we have all learned the meaning of the term Basiji, whom Matthias Kuntzel of The New Republic called “Ahmadinejad’s Demons.” Since Supreme Leader In Name Only Ali Khamenei’s son now runs the Basiji, I consider it more of an Ahmie and Khamie thing, like the election itself. We’ve seen what they’ve done: murderous beatings, motorcycle drive-by clubbings, even the shooting of innocents like Neda Soltan and Kaveh Alipour.
That violence is always blamed on those protesters by Ahamadinejad and other hardliners, as well as FARS and other state-run mouthpieces, all of whom are doing their damndest to demonize the Green protesters as enemies of the state, foreign agents, even domestic terrorists. Glad we don’t have that kind of stuff in America, huh? Ya, as if! What country are YOU living in?
What, in essence, are the Basiji? Are they not an ideologically and violently overzealous arm of the fascist Iranian thugocracy? Well, if terrorizing innocent citizens over ideology with full political backing is the key issue here, then what do you call the three menacing baton-swinging racist epithet-spewing New Black Panther Party poll watchers in Philadelphia, paid in full by Democrats, who uttered such overzealous statements as “you will soon be ruled by the black man, cracker”?
And what do you call the government that applied pressure from the highest levels to compel trial-eager career lawyers at DOJ who prepared the case for months to drop the charges, even with default convictions for violating the 1965 Civil Rights Act? Unheard of at Justice! Is that not whitewashing and enabling violence and intimidation at the highest levels? Just as no doubt happens with violent basijis every day in Iran? A free pass to be the best Brownshirts they can be?
Those racist thugs have been already been cleared to work the polls again in Philly next year! And perhaps town hall meetings on ObamaCare much sooner, given the President’s call to “get in our faces and hit back twice as hard!” NBPP poll watcher thug-in-chief and crakkka-killer wannabe Jerry Jackson is even an elected member of Philadelphia’s 14th Ward Democratic Committee, and has a COLORED ONLY sign outside his house. And we protesters are the ones “acting stupidly”?
Feeling Green yet, America? No? Okay, let’s mosey on over to St. Louis. Hey lookey there! Well whattaya know! Looks like some American Basijis in SEIU shirts and jackets just called a black conservative a nigger for selling Don’t Tread On Me flags, punched him in the face, and kicked him when he was down. I’d call that ideologically and violently overzealous. And it’s not just in St. Louis.
My Fellow Americans All, there is a dark and growing danger here. Let me lay it all out for you. In the past, when any administration’s bill or policy went as far south as ObamaCare (as Hillary’s own health care initiative went bad in 1993), even the most loyal Congressmen and women cut and ran, no matter how popular the president, if the answer to the question “Will this cost me my cushy job?” was in the affirmative. Yet even Hillary, who could not be more dedicated to the cause of socialized medicine, eventually dropped one of the major hot potatoes of her husband’s presidency.
By stark contrast, the reaction from today’s Left-leaning liberal Democrats in Congress, the White House and their Lefty lapdog media has not been to analyze the issues at hand, or to ask tough questions as to why Obama’s polls and support for ObamaCare are tanking, but an overwhelming, sweeping, indiscriminate and now-violent backlash against the American people as swastika-waving mobs of teabagging birthers and corporate lobbyist-paid right-wing Nazi extremists.
Sound familiar? Accusations of said mob rule at town halls by Congressional reps like Pelosi, Schumer and Durbin now abound. The packing of town halls with Democrat plants, now topped off with the unleashing of SEIU thugs on noisy yet peaceful non-violent protesters, followed by reports of violence at town hall meetings nationwide. Wasn’t a problem until SEIU showed up. Why is that?
This is no way to run a democracy, people. And it’s no way to run a “mainstream” press either. They’re all supposed to be OUR watchdogs looking out for OUR interests, not going to war with us or covering up real crimes! Nationwide days-long coverage for Dr. Skippy Gates over a hoax cry of racism, but not a newsflash for the racially slurred and beaten Kenneth Gladney? Need more? How about Keith Olbermann comparing ObamaCare protesters to Hamas and Hezbollah, and SEIU’s brand new “teabaggers” video blaming the protesters for the violence they themselves are causing?
You can see where this is all going, people. I see south. Way south. And the best way we can show our opposition to this violent and propagandistic assault on freedom of assembly, speech and expression is to show up at future town hall meetings in large peaceful numbers, just like Gandhi but as firm as Patton. Beat the SEIU and ACORN plants to the Potemkin town halls early. And always, ALWAYS bring your videocams! This goes way beyond ObamaCare now. This goes to the heart of who we are as a free people to express ourselves.
I guess that eternal vigilance being the price of liberty thing wasn’t far off the mark. In closing, I would strongly advise the Obama administration, the SEIU, liberal Democrats in Congress and their media lapdogs like Olbermann and Matthews that campaigning against, demonizing and scrapping violently with large swaths of innocent ordinary American citizens can come to no good end. Historically speaking. Lastly, Mister President, even Peggy Noonan thinks “You Are Terrifying Us.”

John – excellent post and a very interesting parallel between Iran and the current administration.
Well you summed it up pretty good except you left out Honduras. This list is getting so long no one can keep up with everything. Just like Saul Alinsky told his minions to do, and we are only into 7 months of this mindset. Need to get you folks at BH a Super Computer so you can keep track of all the goings on.
President Pa-Pa -Oom-Mow-Mow and his Arrogant Imperious Thuggish minions forgot about one thing…WE The People.
Barry's Army of the-union thugs-People. They will be more violent and blame Rush, Beck, and the likes, with the help of the deaf, dumb, and blind MSM and Lefty celebs.
WE THE PEOPLE better wake up soon.
Wait, are you suggesting there are similarities between our Dear Leader and Iran's Supreme Leader? The heck you say!
The similarities in tactics–mob violence, demogoguing appeals to "democracy", refusal to accept dissent, demonizing all opposition as fascist, and hence beyond the pale–are found in Iran, the Democratic Party here, and many other places.
I would argue there are deeper resemblences between our Dear Leader and His counterpart in Venezuela than with His counterparts in Iran. I do not believe our Dear Leader wants to establish an Islamic theocracy here, but I do believe, given enough rope, He would establish a "populist" leftist thugocracy here quite similar to that of Hugo Chavez. Fortunately, our eroded Constitutional principles still hold enough sway in the US to, at the very worst, limit the Dear Leader to two terms (gag), and leave Him responsive to public opinion in the meantime.
Great post John. The intentional Balkanization of this country by the left is as dangerous as it is stupid.
Agreed 100%. We need to get the word out on the town halls, attend them in force, and record the SEIU thugs if, or rather when, they beat down citizens exercising their constitutional rights. The MSM will not do it.
I have proposed forming defense squads to attend town hall meetings and protect conservative and libertarian speakers from violence and intimidation by supporters of the Dear Leader. After all, Attorney General Holder had no problem what-so-ever with the New Black Panther Party performing an allegedly similar function last November.
I also suggest establishing a central database, here or somewhere in the blogosphere, to collect the places and times of town hall meetings. Many Democratic congressmen have gone out of their way not to publicize these events for obvious reasons. Such a database could also serve as a collection and dissemination point for video evidence of Democratic Party brownshirt tactics.
I will volunteer to be the" super computer"
I think I know why the WH wants various email addresses.
http://www.breitbart.tv/fishy-why-are-americans-w...
Also have someone set up with an "over watch" video and record the entire crowd. Not just the small area you can record with your camera.
The Democrats we know have been against voter ID when you show up at the polling station. They do not seem to be against having to show ID to attend their Town Hall meetings. Why is that?
Indeed, if they want to accuse us of being organized, then let's show them exactly how organized we can be.
It gets worse. Erick Erickson reported at RedState.com that Obama is using the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to gather data on free citizens:
"… the NTIA is now requiring internet provides to give the government ‘average revenue per end user and data regarding type, technical specification or location of broadband infrastructure,' i.e. your home address, IP address, how much you pay, and where the connection is at your house." That means that "we have a White House asking neighbors to turn in neighbors by forwarding emails – some of which will contain IP address information. And we have the White House demanding internet providers provide them with the home addresses corresponding to those IP addresses."
Well said
You hit the nail on the head, brother, nail-on-the-head.
Classic Leninism. Smash the system now, and then figure out what to do with all the broken pieces later.
The key factor to remember, this is not about health care, this is about pushing America closer to socialism. The idea is to get this passed as fast as possible, because once its in place, We The People will be right where the ruling elites statists, want us. Depending upon them for our very lives. Once that happens, they expect we'll be a lot more compliant over the rest of their agenda.
It's going to work something like this. Obesity causes health problems which require health care, which the government will have to pay for. Therefore government has a fiduciary interest in ensure there are no obese people. Good bye trans fats, good bye fast food, good bye anything any left wing lobbyist group doesn't like.
And it won't stop with food, any way they can show a connection between individual's health and the government tab, and they will micro manage it. Walking is better exercise than driving? Limit auto sales (of course exempting Government Motors and Chrysler). Urban sprawl causes excess driving? Outlaw them, force people back into big city slums.
This issue gives the access into every single facet of our lives. That is what they are after. Once they have that, all this current inconveniences will be more than worth it.
Gee, do you think Gibbs was:
A) Lying through his teeth
B) Lying through his teeth
C) Lying through his teeth
Hitler used the same tactics in demonizing the Jews prior to Kristallnacht. http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Kristallnacht.a...
After Kristallnacht, it was out in the open. Germany invaded Poland. The final solution. Etc, etc etc.
I wonder, are we facing a similar thing?
Gibbs is a piece of work…
Trying to come across a soft spoken 'Southern boy' if you watch him closely when he's challenged on ideological grounds you can see his horns come out of his head for just a moment-
And then they'll recede and he resumes his guise. He is a minion of el Diablo…
All of the above.
I wonder why the left is so evil.
The White House can't force ISPs to divulge that private info, can they????
They're not evil, they're just wrong and refuse to see any other point of view. So wrong and stupid….
Just watch Gibbs, the guy is a complete fool….
This is spot on.
NO, and they can't force Drug companies to cut the price of drugs. Just like they can't force car manufactures to fire their CEO. They just made a request that is all. They just want ISP's to help them with the Broadband stimulus project, I am sure that is all there is to it. Gibbs will clear up any confusion tomorrow in the Press conference. LOL
Like I said before Obama is starting a civil war. He will be the next Lincoln for sure. I don't think he will like the outcome though. As far as his thugs I think they would get a big surprise where I live. This is a right to carry and no retreat state. They better not threaten anyone.
Just watch Gibbs, the guy is a complete fool…
Just watch Gibbs, the guy is a complete TOOL.
There better….
Thanks for the correction
lol..All Fixed eh Harley?
I don't know Hank..I do know that the average "left" American is not evil but these politicians on the left are a whole different ball game IMO. For them it's all about control and power and they don't care how they go about getting those two things.
I am afraid that they will create an incident like OK city or the Riechstag fire in order to crack down and suspend the consitution. I can feel it coming.
So who are the American Basiji exactly? The New Black Panthers, the Justice Dept., Proff. Gates, Seiu, Acorn? All of the above? I'm with you on this, I'm just trying to make sure I'm clear on the argument.
Very simple, Balky. If they walk, talk and act like fanatically ideological Basiji sealots, they are.
Any job description is irrelevant. Actions speak louder than nametags.

Hey John, isn't a sealot a parcel of land somewhere by the ocean?
FTA: "This goes way beyond ObamaCare now. This goes to the heart of who we are as a free people to express ourselves."
This is the crux.
I recall a great manifesto written many years ago: "When in the course of human events…"
Professing themselves to be wise they became fools, and changed the glory of an incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man…
"…swastika-waving mobs of teabagging birthers and corporate lobbyist-paid right-wing Nazi extremists.
Sound familiar?"
Sounds like my last family reunion. Especially the teabagging part…
No, Jimmy. I just sea lots of Basijis. Too many, actually
Thanks for the clarification! That really strengthens your point, if I may say so myself.
<<is to show up at future town hall meetings in large peaceful numbers, just like Gandhi but as firm as Patton. Beat the SEIU and ACORN plants to the Potemkin town halls early. And always, ALWAYS bring your videocams>>
Indeed, our most effective peaceful weapons are our camcorders. It's up to us now to do the media's job for them as they've not done it in years.
My one suggestion on this is that if you are recording, have a friend along to watch your back. As you are focused on gettting the events down on video, it makes it too easy for one of those Dem thugs to smack ya from behind.
I predict Gibbs won't last the year in his current post. Campaign time was easy…the first few months of this *slow motion train wreck* of an Adiminstration were easy…last few months HARD, REALLY HARD…he makes Scott McClellan look like a combination of Spartacus and Lincoln…either cusht job off mike or back to obscurity…
Most are wrong. Some others… definitely evil.
Remember, please. Any opposition to Bush, no matter how hateful and nasty, was taken as proof of his failure. Even though there were few large anti-War demonstrations they were invariably reported in a positive light. Every socialist front groups was described as representative for what Americans feel.
Of course, with Obama in the White House, people need to shut up.
