			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The crime is complete. Judgment has been passed. The killing stones are in hand. As per the harsh stoning <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1575664/Human-rights-report-blasts-Irans-stoning-laws.html">penal code</a> of Iran&#8217;s Islamist thugocracy (for however long that lasts) where the crime took place, my stones are not so big as to kill right away, not so small you can&#8217;t call them stones. And I&#8217;m winding up like Nolan Ryan. Feel free to pick up a <a href="http://www.oscars.org/contact/">stone</a> of your own. But wait for it!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/06/iran-babes.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-165166  aligncenter" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/06/iran-babes-300x241.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="241" /></a></p>
<p>And let me make this perfectly clear, even if they do say <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIaORknS1Dk&amp;feature=PlayList&amp;p=CDFEA6D52E5CC0EC&amp;index=12">Jehovah</a>!</p>
<p>Sentence must be read before being carried out. And unlike <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9i86e_the-stoning-of-soraya-m_shortfilms">Soraya M.</a>, the board members of the Asylum of Motion Picture Airheads and Stooges will deserve every rock that&#8217;s thrown their way. I also believe that, in light of events in Iran today, the following commentary will stand out in much starker prominence than it did when I first started reporting on them in early March, when Team Oscar first set off for the Unfriendly Skies of Islamist Iran.<span id="more-164106"></span></p>
<p>The backstory. In late February, the decision by AMPAS (as defined above) to send the <a href="http://actdcmetro.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/hollywoods-useful-stooges-in-iran-on-cultural-exchange/">Nine Stooges</a> to the fascist hostage-taking, women-stoning, gay-exterminating Islamic Republic of Iran (at that time, things may be changing) set me off <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/268391">hotter</a> than a Kim Jong Il nuke. Five days after the gay rights infomercial Oscars, no less! My gay rights heroes.</p>
<p>Somebody give &#8216;em an Oscar! For what it&#8217;s worth nowadays. Sean Penn getting an Oscar for playing a gay rights hero with his <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/269028">sorry track record</a> on the subject is like Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore getting Nobel Prizes. They just ain&#8217;t worth what they <a href="http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1970/solzhenitsyn-lecture.html">used to be</a> these days.</p>
<p>But I digress. On With The Show Biz Trial.</p>
<p>For ten days and uncounted humiliating <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/268854">punkings</a> in early March, Team Oscar was a national embarrassment and a disgrace to this country and people, and an affront to the innocent Iranians suffering under a yoke of oppression not seen since Hitler&#8217;s Third Reich. A yoke which they are desperately and bravely fighting and even dying to cast off even as we speak.</p>
<p>And now, despite all that transpired back then, and all that is happening now in Iran, AMPAS is looking to <a href="http://www.oscars.org/education-outreach/internationaloutreach/iran.html">whitewash</a> the whole affair as a Bob Hope and Bing Crosby Road trip! Not on my watch! Fat fucking chance! Can you imagine how Iranian gays felt, watching the same people who facilitated tearful speeches on &#8220;gay rights for everyone&#8221; socializing and galivanting around town with the very monsters who were hunting them down, torturing and killing them?</p>
<p>If that alone isn&#8217;t a stoning offense, then nothing is.</p>
<p>Some may consider my charges harsh, even unreasonably so. So be it. Brutal Injustice and rank hypocrisy bring out the Zarqawi in me. But I will present to you, Dear Hollywood non-Academy Readers and Fine Fellow Americans everywhere, the foul evidence at hand in toto.</p>
<p>When charges have been read, and sentence is to be passed, I will leave it to the rest of you stoners as to which direction your rocks should fly. But first, to put the matter into Supreme Court-like perspective, look at the precedent law upon which I base my charges and my case.</p>
<p><strong>THE WORLD v. SOUTH AFRICA</strong></p>
<p>In 1985, during the oppressive Apartheid era of South Africa&#8217;s all-white fascist regime, actors, artists, producers and many fine musicians like Little Stevie van Zandt and The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, united to make a statement against that racist government, which held Nelson Mandela behind bars unjustly for 29 years, and murdered noted anti-apartheid activist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Biko">Steven Biko</a> while in police custody. That murder was memorialized in the Peter Gabriel <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNQuJm67OzE">song</a> of the same name.</p>
<p>In conjunction with worldwide sanctions and divestment of business from South Africa at the time, the musical statement made by that group of most talented artists, better know as Artists United Against Apartheid, was immortalized in the song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKCJWjqjQww">Sun City</a>, which became a smash hit worldwide. We all know the rest of the story. The white South African government eventually folded, and Nelson Mandela was freed and then elected to the presidency.</p>
<p>What were South Africa&#8217;s crimes besides just Mandela&#8217;s imprisonment and Biko&#8217;s murder? Officially enforced racial segregation and subjugation, violent repression and the banning of opposition political parties. Certainly more than enough justification for international outrage, and both official and unofficial sanctions.</p>
<p>Yet compared to the current theocratic Hitlerite thugocracy running the Islamic Republic of Iran, which the world is also widely sanctioning today, South Africa&#8217;s Apartheid government was operating an island paradise fit for Chinese Uighurs. In Iran, political empowerment is nonexistent, and has been since the 1979 Islamic revolution.</p>
<p>All the power is in the hands of Supreme Leader Ali Khamanei and the Mad Mullah Guardian Council. Reform was impossible. Any measure passed by Iran&#8217;s Parliament, the Majlis, deemed &#8216;un-Islamic&#8217; by the Mad Mullahs could be overturned on review. The Church is the State in Iran. Like a nationwide Westboro Baptist Church from Hell. Only worse. Much worse.</p>
<p>Examples. Children are routinely executed, gays are hunted down, tortured and brutally exterminated, and women and young girls are stoned and hanged, even for the crime of being raped. Until international outrage interceded, as happened vis-a-vis Roxana Saberi, seventeen-year-old Nazanin Fatehi was awaiting a death sentence for the crime of stabbing and killing one of the three God-fearing Islamists who attempted to rape her and her niece in a West Tehran park.</p>
<p>Here is a 27-minute <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7254637579172505362">documentary</a> that re-enacts the attempted rape and the unbelievably misogynist injustice which followed. Had the world not screamed so loud in outrage, Nazanin would have suffered the same fate as that of twenty-year-old <a href="http://vladtepesblog.com/?p=7714">Delara Derabi</a>, who was hanged by the Islamic Republic only six weeks ago. Iran has held mass hangings as recently as <a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/05/violent-iranian-regime-holds-another.html">May 14th</a>. And given the official death penalty announcement for Mousavi protesters, many more may follow depending on the outcome of current events.</p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t even take into account the fact that many in Iran&#8217;s terror-sponsoring Islamist extremist leadership, including &#8216;moderate&#8217; Hashemi Rafsanjani and recent presidential candidate <a href="http://www.interpol.int/public/Data/Wanted/Notices/Data/2007/58/2007_49958.asp">Mohsen Rezai</a>, former head of Iran&#8217;s Revolutionary Guard and former <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1047235.html">&#8216;diplomat&#8217;</a> to Argentina, are wanted by Interpol for their involvement in the worst terror attacks in Argentina&#8217;s history back in 1994. An Interpol warrant was issued for Rezai as recently as May 22nd.</p>
<p>Here is a piece I wrote back in early March, <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/268520">branding</a> the regime as today&#8217;s Third Reich. Look at all the horrific and barbaric evidence of crimes against humanity committed both at home and abroad, and you tell me if I&#8217;m overstating the case. Keep also in mind that Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists are now in the streets of Iran, beating and killing the same Iranians who have supported and patronized the Islamist groups for decades.</p>
<p>Taking time out from killing innocent Jews to killing innocent Iranians. No surprise there, since the regime already kills its own people on an assembly line basis. Even bloggers. Given all this brutal evidence of the Iranian thugocracy&#8217;s bloody track record which spans the globe, I ask you, Dear Readers of jurisprudence and humble advocates of human rights for all, how was the Islamic Republic of Iran worthy of cultural diplomatic exchange, and South Africa not?</p>
<p>They should be forming Artists United Against Insanity to oppose Iran&#8217;s theocratic thugocracy, not flying over for tea, fingers cookies, and film seminars! Disgraceful!</p>
<p>Charges as follows. Bear with me. It&#8217;s a longer list than you think.</p>
<p><strong>1. THE FIRST PUNKING OF FAR TOO MANY<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Even though AMPAS was promised no politics would be involved in the visit, Team Hollywood was no sooner off the tarmac at Khomeini Airport in Tehran than they were <a href="http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/ampas-gets-punkd-by-iran-government/">totally punked</a> by the best punks in the world, with harsh demands for apologies and submission by Iranian leaders over the films 300 and The Wrestler, or they wouldn&#8217;t get to meet their Iranian film buds. Curiously, Team Oscar was allowed to meet with their Iranian counterparts shortly thereafter. My question to the Academy is this: did they apologize or not?</p>
<p>Iif you recall, what so outraged Iranian government stooges over The Wrestler was Mickey Rourke breaking an Iranian flag and tossing it into the crowd. Deliciously ironic, considering the desecration of our flag is a national sport with the regime. There was also a declaration by Iran&#8217;s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hassan Qashqavi, that thirty films currently in production in Hollywood were <a href="http://www.presstv.ir/Detail.aspx?id=86597&amp;sectionid=351020105">&#8216;anti-Iranian.&#8217;<br />
</a></p>
<p>Civilized governments don&#8217;t act like that. Yet I broke the punking story in America to Drudge and Nikki Finke because I knew something like that was going to happen. I was looking for it. Hell, the regime has been punking us for thirty years! Ahmadinejad had even said Hollywood was devoid of all culture and art. Something&#8217;s Gotta Give. I must admit, however, that maybe Ahmie was onto something with that comment. Never thought I&#8217;d agree with anything the Little Hitler said.</p>
<p>Academy politics makes strange bedfellows, I reckon.</p>
<p>That infamous Punking Heard &#8216;Round the World should have proved to all concerned that President Obama&#8217;s attempt at diplomacy through Team Oscar was a horrendous failure, as all other efforts since have been. Like the Khamenei-led Death to America rallies in response to Obama&#8217;s peace video. Yet Team Oscar suffered that humiliation and degradation only to suffer many more. And the rest of us, since Team Oscar represented us over there as a nation as well.</p>
<p>Some were even worse, if you can believe it. In short, if somebody wrote a script like this, no one would ever believe it. But I already read the book. Been reading it <a href="http://www.jimmycarterlibrary.org/documents/hostages.phtml">since 1979</a>.</p>
<p><strong>2. TEAM OSCAR&#8217;S STOOGES TRAIN IRAN&#8217;S PROPAGANDA STOOGES</strong></p>
<p>Iran <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/03/11/the-true-state-of-film-culture-in-todays-iran/">&#8216;film industry&#8217;</a> experts, many of whom Stooge Team Oscar no doubt gave seminars to, gave their own previous film seminars on Iran TV on the Ziono-Hollywoodist <a href="http://www.memritv.org/search/en/results/0/0/0/0/2/0/0/0/0.htm?k=zionist%20themes&amp;bAdvSearch=false">conspirators</a> for making such anti-Iranian celluloid slanders as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGsHUfl9xEE">Harry Potter</a>, Chicken Run and Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man&#8217;s Chest. And let&#8217;s not forget the Jew Disney&#8217;s cartoon conspiracy, <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2006/02/tom_and_jerry_a_nefarious_jewi.php#more">Tom and Jerry</a>. Also deliciously ironic, considering Iran exports child martyrdom cartoons across the Middle East, a business so thriving the BBC called it, in blackly comic Joker-like fashion, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4528563.stm">&#8216;booming.&#8217;</a></p>
<p>I can understand the cultural aspect Team Hollywood pursued. I even respect it. But in my opinion, given the circumstances, it was the equivalent of sending a cultural team to Hitler&#8217;s Berlin during the Holocaust. The real great Iranian filmmakers were all heel-ground. The ones who aren&#8217;t languish in Evin prison or are awaiting kangaroo court religious tribunals, like Iranian-American <a href="http://for-esha.blogspot.com/2008/11/esha-momeni-released-on-bail.html">Esha Momeni</a>, for the celluloid slander of interviewing Iranian women for a womens rights documentary for her master&#8217;s degree.</p>
<p>Filmmaker <a href="http://www.eyeranian.net/archives/1613">Tehmineh Milani</a> was sentenced to death for her celluloid slander. Again, only international and, in Ms. Milani&#8217;s case, even domestic outrage saved her neck from the rope. Another filmmaker, the French-Iranian Mernousche Solouki, was thrown into Evin prison for the crime of stumbling across a mass grave.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s Ms. Solouki&#8217;s recounting of the event. She still suffers <a href="http://www.payvand.com/news/08/jan/1209.html">nightmares</a> from her experience in Evin. I read that, and other horror stories of the <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=12091966">Gestapo-like</a> Evin prison when Roxana Saberi was still there. Horrified me. I know her father must have known of that. He&#8217;s from Iran. He must know. They all do. I can&#8217;t even imagine how he felt with Roxana there. Again, the South Africa analogy.</p>
<p>Yet despite all those goings-on, Annette Bening took time out to tell the world <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/03/25/team-oscar-praises-film-womens-rights-in-iran/">how great</a> women&#8217;s rights were in Iran. Which brings us straight to Team Oscar&#8217;s next great offense.</p>
<p><strong>3. ROXANA SABERI AND THE SOUND OF SILENCE</strong></p>
<p>Throughout Roxana&#8217;s unlawful detention, i.e. hostage status as a political pawn, and bogus conviction on trumped-up espionage charges, Team Oscar couldn&#8217;t have been more silent or unheard from than Roxana herself. Not one public message of support for either Roxana or the Academy during her <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/269454">unlawful detention</a> in Evin, never mind anyone else in Hollywood except us right-wing extremists. In fact, the whole human rights-championing left-wing PRAVDA-like MSM and government pulled a complete <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/269510">disappearing act</a> on Roxana right after Hillary demanded her release, like she was bad press for the Obamamessiah to be swept under the rug.</p>
<p>At the time, my linked article above generated twenty times more Google hits than the entire media coverage combined. It&#8217;s at over 7300 hits now, more than 100 times the number of hits generated on Google vis-a-vis coverage of Roxana in late March.  I&#8217;m still getting hits on it. I don&#8217;t think people can believe what they&#8217;re seeing still. But I digress. You get the point.</p>
<p>No public statement of support from Team Oscar for Roxana that I can find. Team Oscar member William Horberg&#8217;s <a href="http://williamhorberg.typepad.com/william_horberg/">Iran blog</a> made no mention whatsoever of Roxana&#8217;s unlawful captivity, or any plea they might have made on Roxana&#8217;s behalf to Iranian authorities. I have to assume none was made. Perhaps the Academy could clear up that matter, too. Inquiring Minds Want To Know.</p>
<p>Knowing the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Hearts_(1966_film)">King of Hearts</a>-like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH3jgEEDGbo">unreality</a> that resides in the La La Land of AMPAS HQ, it wouldn&#8217;t surprise me in the least to hear any of them claim credit for Roxana&#8217;s release in the future, or even for the green revolution going on in Iran today. If they do, just remember Annette praising the regime&#8217;s great women&#8217;s rights record while Roxana was still in Evin. For starters.</p>
<p>That should clear things up.</p>
<p>What was really depressing to me throughout Roxana&#8217;s Hostage Crisis was <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/04/25/why-is-hollywood-silent-on-roxana-saberi/">how few</a> in Hollywood spoke up on her behalf, when no one knew whether she would live or die. That will forever be a black stain on those who profess to be the greatest human rights champs in the world.</p>
<p><strong>4. OF STOOGES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps the most vocal filmmaker during Team Oscar&#8217;s prolonged humiliation in Iran was domestic thugocracy stooge and new Team Oscar BFF Alireza Davudnejad, who wrote an <a href="http://www.tehrantimes.com/index_View.asp?code=190354">open letter</a> to President Obama claiming that the only road to peace, freedom and justice in this world was for the President to destroy all of America&#8217;s nuclear weapons and give up its UN veto.</p>
<p>Mr. Davudnejad also requested a schedule as to when those world-shaking peace, freedom and justice-inducing landmarks would be carried out. This, from a regime that foments war, writes injustice into its penal codes, crushes freedom with an iron boot, and races to build nuclear weapons they swear to Allah and their own people they&#8217;ll use on Israel just as soon as they&#8217;re built.</p>
<p>Now THAT&#8217;S Comedy! Fortunately, the President didn&#8217;t fall for it. If he had, it would have been the Punking Of All Time. No punking for Mr. Ali-Duh, but a gold star on the forehead for effort. Mr. Davudnejad did, however, manage to give a closing backhand to his new BFF, Team Oscar:</p>
<p><strong>“My last recommendation is not to follow your previous cultural policies and avoid your Hollywood friends from playing any tricks to dominate the cinemas of Iran. The United States once removed Iranian cinema from the Iranian life with the help of the former dictatorship; and sacrificed our industry with the import of foreign films. </strong></p>
<p><strong>The fallen cinema of Iran has once again regained its footing with the Islamic Revolution and has been fighting to survive for thirty years. We will not forgive the enemies of this cinema wherever they are. By the way, which is harder, to relinquish the veto right, or to forbear the domination of Iran’s cinema again? You have a hard path ahead. I pray for you. Only the right path has no deviation.”</strong></p>
<p>How about neither, Ali-DUH? Over my freakin&#8217; dead body! Go sit on a projector!</p>
<p>By the way, you got all that, Sid, Annette, and the rest of you Ziono-Hollywoodist conspirators? No more tricks! Or they won&#8217;t even let you apologize next time!</p>
<p>Q. What was the difference between Team Oscar and Ali-Duh in Iran?</p>
<p>A. He&#8217;s a domestic film industry stooge.</p>
<p>Yet another degrading episode Team Oscar let slide. I guess they&#8217;re more on the M side of S&amp;M. Seeing as they represented all of us in a diplomatic capacity, so were we. How does it feel? Mr. Ganis also stood by for yet another <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/269013">punking</a> by the Director of Iran&#8217;s House of Cinema, one of many he seemed unfazed by. Some people are just gluttons for punishment, I guess.</p>
<p>As a comic relief sidebar, the culture ministers who approved Team Oscar&#8217;s trip were <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/268629">summoned</a> before an angry Majlis, Iran&#8217;s parliament, to explain who let the Great Satan into their pure Islamist paradise. But that&#8217;s how it goes. Nobody is safe in Punkedville. Even the punks! No word on if the ministers apologized, but it was rumored Mr. Ganis couldn&#8217;t find his ministerial escort anywhere.</p>
<p>Hell, they&#8217;re the liberals in Iran! Fuggeddaboutit!</p>
<p><strong>5. THE BURQA BABES OF BABYLON</strong></p>
<p>It would seem that, as Team Oscar was reeling from their hot-off-the-tarmac punking, the Mad Mullahs used the opportunity to wrap up the goils <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/03/aleqm5innnvpm4bxtl1jsp9oonuy_rim-g.jpg">like mummies</a> in burqas. They may call it a fashion statement or cultural sensitivity, but why didn&#8217;t they make a bold statement by wearing Western dress the whole time, instead of looking like every other oppressed woman in Iran?</p>
<p><strong>6. THE GENOCIDE PRIDE PARADES, or BOY, CAN THESE GUYS THROW AN O-BASH!</strong></p>
<p>On March 6th, the same day Iranian authorities promised to release Roxana Saberi &#8217;soon&#8217; after SOS Clinton&#8217;s demand the day before, news broke of the ICC warrant issued for Sudan&#8217;s genocidal leader, General Omar Bashir. It was an insult, an offense and a crime against humanity (Majlis Speaker Lari Alijani&#8217;s <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/268659">words</a>, not mine) against the Iranian regime&#8217;s <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/image/22340">BFF O-Bash</a>.</p>
<p>In response, the entire upper leadership of Iran&#8217;s thugocracy, along with their Islamist Gestapo Blackshirt stooges from Hamas and Hezbollah (the same ones beating and killing Mousavi protesters this week), took to the streets of Tehran AND Khartoum, the very streets where the genocide was and is being committed to this day, to throw genocide parades for human vampire and Dear Leader Bashir.</p>
<p>Now, what should you do if you know your host country is officially celebrating the most abominable crime known to man in the streets below your gilded cages? Do you a. speak up in outrage? Do you b. hightail it out of Dodge as fast as you can? My answers are a and b. Team Oscar&#8217;s appears to have been c. keep the tea and finger cookies coming, Ahmie! Now I don&#8217;t know the law in that situation, so maybe some fine Hollywood lawyer could tell me. Is that being silent accomplices?</p>
<p>See, I believe genocide parades are a crime in themselves, as though other nations were celebrating Hitler in the streets of Berlin and their own streets, had Hitler been charged by the League of Nations for genocide during the Holocaust. But that&#8217;s just me.</p>
<p>SUBPLOT: I just read that O-Bash flew to Zimbabwe on <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/273965">June 10th</a>. He&#8217;s wanted for genocide. Why is he being allowed to fly all over Africa and the Middle East with impunity? What, we don&#8217;t have aircraft carriers out there that could send up a couple fighter jets to escort <a href="http://irishgothichorrorjournal.homestead.com/blacula.jpg">Blacula</a> to justice?</p>
<p><strong>7. AHMADINEJAD&#8217;S WILLIE HORTONS</strong></p>
<p>As a bonus, highlighted by Ahmadinejad&#8217;s condemnation of Hollywood as devoid of culture and art, and followed up by the summoning of ministers to the Majlis over Team Oscar&#8217;s invite, both Ahmadinejad and Supreme Asswipe Khamenei used Team Oscar as their <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/04/01/hollywood-as-willie-horton-plus-team-oscars-iran-blog/">Willie Horton</a> in the recent elections. You know. Who let the Great Satan in?</p>
<p>So rather than fostering a liberalization of Iran, as they no doubt naively thought, they instead served as a political tool with which hardliners could beat moderates over the head with. Considering the extreme Islamist nature of Iranian politics (as least last week), they made the situation for moderates even worse. The only thing they didn&#8217;t appear to do was make the political ads themselves. But they did train the propaganda stooges who no doubt made any, if any were made.</p>
<p>Damage done either way. Hooray For Hollywood!</p>
<p><strong>THAT&#8217;S A WRAP!</strong></p>
<p>I suppose I could rummage for even more egregious offenses, and glaring or willfully blind oversights. But I have far more than enough to convict. If you seek more for purely historical reference, feel free to check all my linked articles above. You&#8217;ll find &#8216;em. My problem was trying to choose which offenses and oversights to pick from.</p>
<p><strong>WILLIAM HORBERG FOR THE DEFENSE</strong></p>
<p>Currently posted at the Academy website is the following prosaic account by William Horberg of Team Oscar&#8217;s late-term abortion of a trip to Iran: <a href="http://www.oscars.org/education-outreach/internationaloutreach/iran.html">The Road To Isfahan</a>. Let&#8217;s hear what he has to say in Team Oscar&#8217;s defense before we stone them. That may seem predicative of the outcome, but remember, these offenses took place in Iran. Islamist extremist rules apply. Got it now?</p>
<p>Actually, just check the link above. We&#8217;ll stone &#8216;em now and rule &#8216;em guilty later. I mean, come on people. Given the evidence, they may as well have been jumping up and down and screaming &#8220;Jehovah!&#8221; Time to get stoned. And if you&#8217;ve misplaced yours, here&#8217;s <a href="http://www.oscars.org/contact/">another one</a>.</p>
<p><strong>IN CLOSING</strong></p>
<p>Now, I fully condemn the shooting of Dr. Tiller by lone madman Scott Roeder in Kansas, as all right-minded human beings should. But I would fully endorse the shooting of whatever single-digit IQ Academy PR doctors were behind this afterbirth. They Shoot Horses&#8217; Asses In Hollywood, Don&#8217;t They? If anyone at the Academy had any brains, they&#8217;d be stocking up on ammunition like a right-wing extremist Timothy McVeigh-like Montana militia for that very purpose right now!</p>
<p>QUALIFIER: Yes, I&#8217;m kidding. No need to call DHS just yet, thank you very much. Besides, you&#8217;re as likely to find a gun at Academy HQ as you are a hymen on <a href="http://www.heidifleiss.com/">Heidi Fleiss</a>.</p>
<p>Despite the current brain-dead off-the cliff lemming leadership at AMPAS today, I love film. I love Hollywood I even love the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences. Always have. Broke my heart to declare war on them. I even <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/269034">told them so</a>. But all the above is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casus_belli">Casus Belli</a>. Gloves are off.</p>
<p>The blackest irony of all? I was in the middle of writing a loving screwball comedy tribute to Oscar when the news of their trip broke! By the way, I even warned them that if they tried giving all this Iran shite the Red Carpet treatment, I&#8217;d pull the rug out from under them. And I know and they know I&#8217;ve caused a lot of PR damage already over their Iran trip, both here at Big Hollywood and elsewhere.</p>
<p>My Iran opeds since the PUNK&#8217;D piece on Nikki Finke February 28th are pushing 30,000 hits at one blog alone. Can&#8217;t anyone in this business keep their mouth shut? How stupid can you be? Are they total masochistic gluttons for punishment? Oh yeah, I already covered that. Drop that last one off at the Department of Redundancy Department, LOL! In the meantime, I&#8217;ll do my best to have the Nine Stooges ejected off the Academy board and into the Pacific.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve had some very juicy tastes of Tinseltown. The Red Carpet A-List circuit in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. I&#8217;m not a Guild Member, but my first screenplay got a number of finalist nods from some of the toughest Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated contest judges in Hollywood. And I got an option with it. I got some chops. And I&#8217;ve only gotten better over the years through hard work, practice and learning. I know that because industry pros doing my coverage told me so.</p>
<p>But you know what? As much as I wanted to trash that story and never write another word in screenplay format again, I love that script. Put a lot of love and time into it. Think it&#8217;s my best work so far. So does my writing partner. In fact, I&#8217;m going to finish that script very shortly. And I&#8217;m going to finish it in the spirit in which I started: with love, tenderness and affection, even towards Academy members I wrote into the script with boundless love that I totally detest now.</p>
<p>How? I call it professional detachment. Like sniping Nazis as I lovingly listen to Mozart. Best of, worst of. I don&#8217;t let politics poison my scripts. I&#8217;ll leave the Lefties to do that. I&#8217;d rather not bomb at the box office. And I&#8217;ll have coverage done by someone I know and trust networked into the industry like a spiderweb. If I get a nearly impossible grade of RECOMMEND and it doesn&#8217;t move, I know my self-inflicted film industry Hiroshima is complete.</p>
<p>But you know what, people? I&#8217;ll take as many of them with me as I can, just like the wounded Mickey Rooney in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siSiEsGQzlA">Ambush Bay</a> offering Japanese soldiers <a href="http://zedomax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/grenade.jpg">pineapples</a>. He had plenty for everybody. Point being, I won&#8217;t stand for this crap and let it slide just to sell a script. This matter goes way beyond film to me. Look at it this way. AMPAS spends four hours championing gay rights at the last Oscars, then flies off to Iran to give that gay-butchering regime its gold-plated PR kiss, even praising women&#8217;s rights in the most violently misogynist regime on earth? STUFF IT!</p>
<p>God, how I wished I lived in the era of the Hollywood of an earlier day, when the top stars flocked to the service of their country, instead of the service of thuggish and violent dictators like Chavez, Castro and Ahmadinejad. By the way, Sean Penn holds the Trifecta of Shame on that one.</p>
<p>Let me be explicitly clear that I believe extreme left-wing morons like Sean Penn, Danny Glover and Harry &#8220;Bananas&#8221; Belafonte are the minority in Hollywood. Squeaky left-wing wheels get all the grease. I know a lot of great people in the industry personally. And I can&#8217;t praise highly enough Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Mia Farrow, Jim Carrey, Gary Sinise, Robert Davi and so many great USO supporters like Saddam million dollar <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3141942.stm">bounty-offering</a> Bruce Willis, Scarlett Johansson, Jack Black and Ben Stiller.</p>
<p>There are really too many to name. But you know who they are. As to the distinct minority, I will quote my former Obama-like governor and liberal <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZkoKh_A5pw">tank commander</a> Michael Dukakis for the first time in my life: &#8220;A fish rots from the head down.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tom Hanks dares to call gay marriage opponents un-American? Well, if President Obama, most Americans and 52% of Californians are un-American for not supporting gay marriage, what is Tom Hanks and the rest of the Motion Picture Asylum guilty of for signing off on a trip to a regime that hunts gays online, raids gay parties, tortures them horribly and then hangs them from crane wires to die agonizing deaths that can take up to an hour, as they did with two gay <a href="http://skeptically.org/hhor/id10.html">teenage boys</a>?</p>
<p>There&#8217;s too much blanket idiocy in Hollywood. Megan Fox, jokingly telling the Transformers to take out all the white trash to save the earth, the irony totally lost on her. The Twitter crowd at afterellen.com. Like Adrianne Curry, who calls Prop 8 a human rights offense, but remains dead silent on the holocausts against LGBTs in Iran and Iraq. Why isn&#8217;t Dustin Lance Black screaming to the skies about this stuff? I couldn&#8217;t find any evidence of him opposing the AMPAS Iran trip on purely humanitarian grounds. WHY NOT?</p>
<p>No. I, a straight conservative Republican screenwriter, offended to my very core by the savagery of Shiite extremist gay death squads in Iran and Iraq, have to be the one screaming to the skies about LGBT terrorists who engage in atrocities even the Nazis can&#8217;t compare to. Like super-gluing gay men&#8217;s anuses shut and pumping them full of diarrhea cocktails so the gay killers, some on our tax dime, can catch a few pious laughs as their victims endure unimaginable agony before dying.</p>
<p>No. I am left with the dirty jobs and lonely tasks of networking REAL gay advocates like <a href="http://mpetrelis.blogspot.com/">Michael Petrelis</a> and the <a href="http://www.gaypatriot.net/">Gay Patriot</a> blog over these inhuman gay horrorshows. I am the one who has to research and dispatch <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/269565">gruesome</a> <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/269797">reports</a> to sites like <a href="http://www.bestgayblogs.com/2009/03/featured-political-blogs/irans-gay-holocaust/">BestGayBlogs.com</a>, and LGBT orgs all over the globe like LGBT Network EU. I am the one left to scrape around for signatures on petitions at <a href="http://www.irqr.net/">Iranian Queer Railroad</a> and <a href="http://iraqilgbtuk.blogspot.com/">Iraqi LGBT</a> to save the lives of Iranian and Iraqi LGBTs, who live in fear of torture and unimaginable horrors the incredibly spoiled toddler-like Hollywood Leftie morons and unmarried gays of California will never know.</p>
<p>As a screenwriter, I now know what it feels like to work under an offensive and idiotic oligarchy that is totally brain-dead and out of touch with the realities of the world at large, and those whom they profess to lead. In that respect, though I do not agree with them, I now understand the passionate outrage Lefties felt during the reign of the Bushitler. Like Michael Moore&#8217;s and Al Franken&#8217;s bloviations during that dark time, I do not expect my heated rants to impact my Golden Bubble-insulated industry oligarchy one whit.</p>
<p>In fact, I fully expect it to to earn me black marks and disfavor, the full McCarthy treatment they so profess to detest, yet practice every goddamn day. Ron Silver, anyone? But like the aforementioned Twin Towers of Leftie-ism, I care not one whit what the ruling establishment thinks. My anger is righteous and justified. In fact, it could not be moreso. What&#8217;s happening in Iran and Iraq are de facto gay genocides. What cause could be more righteous than trying to stop those?</p>
<p>Screw sexual conduct! They&#8217;re innocent human beings targeted for extermination. They don&#8217;t deserve that barbaric treatment. No one does, except the blood-drinking Islamist Gestapo stooges that are doing it all! If that revolution in Iran goes through and the people win, somebody Tweet them to hang on to all the crane wires. They&#8217;re gonna need a lot. For the Hamas and Hezbollah Blackshirts, too.</p>
<p>If my harsh words mean my film career is dead, so be it. In fact, if I came to Hollywood for no other reason than to address the horrific hypocrisy of so-called gay and human rights champs who are anything but (some like Bening and Penn even extremely damaging to those they don the mantle of Human Rights Champs for), or to champion the cause of Iraqi and Iranian LGBTs unlike any cause I&#8217;ve ever championed based on purely humanistic outrage, then I will feel that my life will have had meaning.</p>
<p>If I have helped to save the life of only one Iraqi or Iranian gay, I have saved the world entire. I can go to my grave totally at peace with myself. If I must bury my screenwriting career ahead of me, this is a small price to pay. So many others, like those now on the streets of Iran fighting and dying for the freedoms that are as natural to us as breathing, or risk brutal torture and horrific death merely for sexual conduct or being raped, are paying far higher prices than we most likely ever will.</p>
<p>In closing, I am resigning from Big Hollywood. I came here on a mission nearly four months ago to bring attention to all I have highlighted above. All the in-between was a bonus. And I do have a comedy piece in the hopper, which is rare for me. Haven&#8217;t had much to laugh about lately. Which is why I want to return full-time to screenwriting as well. There&#8217;s enough tragedy on Planet Earth. If I can use my award-nominated humor to inspire laughter and comic relief, then that is my main mission now. The rest I leave to the card deck of fate.</p>
<p>If I return, it will be in the cause of those who cannot speak for themselves. There is no shortage of hacks and pundits flame-throwing politics these days, and there are far too many not flame-throwing at all on issues that should enrage them beyond measure. As I am enraged today. Certainly beyond politics.</p>
<p>I do not need anger management. Like Johnny Rotten sang with Public Image Limited, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPj-8_wOZcA">Anger is an Energy</a>. Righteous anger is what freed South Africa. Righteous anger fills the streets of Tehran as we speak. Righteous anger is why we Americans no longer say to each other, &#8220;G&#8217;day, Mate! &#8216;Ow about a pint and some bangers and mash? Got some up in me lorry! God Bless the Queen!&#8221;</p>
<p>In closing, God Bless The Queen anyway. And God Bless America. I say that as an agnostic secularist, okay? It&#8217;s good luck! And may God look down a lot more kindly on the poor LGBTs in Iran and Iraq. Perhaps, if there is a God, and I&#8217;m hedging my bets here, I hope his hand is in events in Iran. Maybe with a youth-driven revolution, LGBTs, filmmakers. students, dissidents, bloggers, and raped women need not fear for their lives anymore, or offered the choice of <a href="http://stephiblog.wordpress.com/2007/09/27/iran-and-homosexuality/">castration or death</a> if they wish to remain gay.</p>
<p>What? Did you think Ahmadinejad was kidding when he said there were no gays in Iran? He said it with the same certainty Hitler said there were no Jews in Germany. The discussion is moot. I really hope to God that changes, as Iran itself seems to be right now.</p>
<p>We do, however, have a most powerful hand in Iraq. The gay killings must stop. The gay death squads must be disbanded with an iron fist. Just like Al Qaeda. Or, to tell the truth, I don&#8217;t care if Al Qaeda takes the place over. I would feel the same way if I were in West Berlin in 1947 and the locals were still hunting down and killing Jews. Let the Red Army move in.</p>
<p>Uncle Joe, they&#8217;re all yours! Bin Laden, they&#8217;re all yours! Let them ALL share in the terror they love with a religious fervor! OR, they can wise up and join the human race. If not, screw &#8216;em. Let &#8216;em go back to Al Qaeda torture houses and eating bombs for breakfast. I may not be gay myself. No, really. But must one be Jewish to be totally repulsed by Auschwitz?</p>
<p>Good Luck and Good Night, all. Peace. I hope <img src='http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center">
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/03/bening-bh-2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-74690 aligncenter" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/03/bening-bh-2-300x173.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="173" /></a></p>
<p>If anyone wrote a script like this, no one would believe it.</p>
<p>But I already <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/268520">read the book.</a></p>
<p>That they even went to Iran in the first place was <a href="http://skeptically.org/hhor/id10.html">an abomination</a>, especially given their three-hour gay rights infomercial called The Oscars just five days earlier.</p>
<p>And it only kept getting worse.<span id="more-74654"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center">Or better, depending on your POV.</p>
<p>For this Most Humble DJ Contributor and Critic of Stage and Screen?</p>
<p>Definitely better!</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s the skinny to date on &#8216;MGGTT&#8217; and this Most Humble Critic&#8217;s <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/268391">Zero Star Review</a>:</p>
<p>First, President Obama himself must approve Team Hollywood&#8217;s visas, as Iran is under sanction from just about every nation on earth. Has been by the US ever since the Embassy and hostage seizures in 1979.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the setup.</p>
<p>Now here are the punchlines!</p>
<p>After all that trouble Team AMPASS (the last S is for &#8220;stooge&#8221;) no sooner sets down in Tehran than they are welcomed by irate <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40VFcJTIduw">&#8216;culture ministers</a>&#8216; demanding apologies for such celluloid affronts to Iranian civilization as &#8220;300&#8242;&#8221; and &#8220;The Wrestler&#8221; or they won&#8217;t be able to meet with their Iranian film counterparts.</p>
<p>See, these eminently cultured, erudite and most intellectual <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Iran+Kid%27s+shows+martyrs&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=">film elites</a> of Iran were incensed by &#8220;The Wrestler&#8221; because in the film Mickey Rourke takes an Iranian flag from his ring opponent, <a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/theayatollah.jpg">The Ayatollah,</a> breaks it over his knee and tosses it into the crowd. Deliciously ironic, considering desecration of the American flag is <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2008-11-03-iran-embassy_N.htm">a national sport</a> over there, even for kids.</p>
<p>Actually, <a href="http://darkblueworld.info/milnews/2008/12/27/reports-on-childrens-martyrdom-training-in-iran-iraq-lebanon-and-pakistan/">especially for kids.</a> Look familiar?</p>
<p>No word on if Mr. Ganis et al apologized. But they DID get to meet with their <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Iranian+Filmmaker+Arrested&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=">heel-ground</a> Iranian film buddies shortly thereafter.</p>
<p>Curious. Loose end of the story so far.</p>
<p>Did they apologize or not?</p>
<p>So, not only does Team Hollywood no sooner land in Iran and get totally punked, President Obama has his one extended olive branch slapped out of his hand.</p>
<p>But wait! There&#8217;s more!</p>
<p>The apology-demanders were then officially called before Iran&#8217;s Parliament, the Majlis, to explain <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/268629">their own cultural slander</a> on inviting the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Iran+ziono-hollywoodist">Ziono-Hollywoodist conspirators</a> into their pure Islamist Paradise in the first place!</p>
<p>How great a story twist is THAT?</p>
<p>The demands for apologies just never end in totalitarian dictatorships. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show_trial">It&#8217;s par for the course. </a></p>
<p>No word yet on if the ministers&#8217; contrite apologies were accepted by the Majlis&#8217; <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Iran+martyr+children+Tv+show&amp;btnG=Search">Cultural Commission</a>.</p>
<p>In fact, no word on them at all. Considering the culture ministers are Iran&#8217;s Hollywood Left, they could be in for it. Hell, they&#8217;re the liberals!</p>
<p>Curious. Another loose end.</p>
<p>Although it is rumored Mr. Ganis can&#8217;t find his ministerial escort anywhere.</p>
<p>One particularly laugh riot sidebar was an <a href="http://www.tehrantimes.com/index_View.asp?code=190354">Open Letter To President Obama</a> by Iranian filmmaker, domestic stooge and Team AMPASS&#8217; new Best Friend Forever Alireza Davudnejad informing Mr. Obama that the only way to achieve peace, justice and freedom in the world was for the US to give up its UN veto power and dismantle all of its nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>Mr. Davudnejad also requested a schedule as to when Mr. Obama would implement these historic peace, freedom and justice-creating landmarks.</p>
<p>This, from a regime that foments war, writes injustice <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1575664/Human-rights-report-blasts-Iran's-stoning-laws.html">into its penal codes</a>, <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/jun/07/iran">crushes freedom with an iron boot </a>and races to build nuclear weapons of its own.</p>
<p>Now THAT&#8217;S Comedy!</p>
<p>Even funnier?</p>
<p>AMPASS&#8217; new BFF, Ali-Da, couldn&#8217;t resist one last Ziono-Hollywoodist Conspiracy backhand of his own:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;My last recommendation is not to follow your previous cultural policies and <strong>avoid your Hollywood friends from playing any tricks to dominate the cinemas of Iran</strong>. The United States once removed Iranian cinema from the Iranian life with the help of the former dictatorship; and <strong>sacrificed our industry with the import of foreign films</strong>. The fallen cinema of Iran has once again regained its footing with the Islamic Revolution and has been fighting to survive for thirty years.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;We will not forgive the enemies of this cinema wherever they are. By the way, which is harder, to relinquish the veto right, or to forbear the domination of Iran&#8217;s cinema again?&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>How about neither, Ali-Duh?</p>
<p>Over my dead body!</p>
<p>But I digress.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;You have a hard path ahead. I pray for you. Only the right path has no deviation,&#8221; the letter ends. </strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Ya got all that, Sid?</p>
<p>No more Zionist tricks!</p>
<p>Or they won&#8217;t even let you apologize next time!</p>
<p>Q. What is the difference between Mr. Davudnejad and the AMPASS team?</p>
<p>A. He&#8217;s a domestic film industry stooge.</p>
<p>To this point, the AMPASS/IRAN road production was playing out in <a href="http://www.toofunnyplace.com/funny-quotes/dark-knight-movie-quotes-by-the-joker/comment-page-1/">Joker-like</a> blackly comic fashion and had this Humble Critic&#8217;s Five Gold Stars On The Forehead Stamp Of Approval.</p>
<p>But they lost me in the Final Act. And it wiped out all that good setup work.</p>
<p>See, yesterday, top Iranian government officials were highly upset with the ICC warrant for <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/268659">innocent </a>genocide master and Dear Leader Gen. Omar Bashir of Sudan. So they took action, holding pep rallies in the streets with their Hamas and other Blackshirt Jew-slaughtering stooges for bloody brother Omar.</p>
<p>Then, led by Ali Larijani, the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Iran+Ali+Larijani+moderate+&amp;btnG=Search">&#8216;moderate&#8217;</a> Speaker of the Iranian Parliament who once stated that 100 million Muslims killed in a nuclear exchange with Israel was acceptable (see, he&#8217;s a moderate in Iran like <a href="http://www.iran-press-service.com/articles_2001/dec_2001/rafsanjani_nuke_threats_141201.htm">Rafsanjani</a>, Ahmadinejad&#8217;s the extremist) and the rest of Iran&#8217;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS">modern-day SS</a> flew off to Khartoum to throw parades in support of their <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/image/22340">BFF O-Bash.</a></p>
<p>So in essence, Mr. Ganis et al have all remained in Tehran, <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=schmooze">schmoozing</a> and teaching film seminars to Iran&#8217;s <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/goebbels.html">Goebbels-like</a> propagandists that made <a href="http://www.tehrantimes.com/Index_view.asp?code=172738">these</a> <a href="http://www.memritv.org/search/en/results/0/0/0/0/2/0/0/0/0.htm?k=themes&amp;bAdvSearch=false">classics</a> while top leaders of Iran&#8217;s government and their Brownshirt proxies not only celebrate genocide in the streets of Tehran, they then fly over to the streets of Khartoum where the genocide was committed to throw parades for the man who did it all and is now an international fugitive!</p>
<p>So now, not only is Mr. Ganis et al complicit by their gold-plated silence on the gay pogrom in Iran (which Iran&#8217;s culture experts are now <a href="http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;channel=s&amp;hl=en&amp;q=Iran+exports+gay+pogrom+to+Iraq&amp;btnG=Google+Search">trying to export to Iraq</a>), they are now silent accomplices to Sudan&#8217;s genocide for remaining in Iran while all this is all going on around them instead of hightailing it out of Dodge as they should have when this obscene news broke.</p>
<p>Like I said, they had me till the Last Act.</p>
<p>One last curious loose end.</p>
<p>No word on if the AMPASS team generated any <a href="http://www.startribune.com/opinion/40862187.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUUsZ">roar of support</a> for missing American reporter and former Miss North Dakota <a href="http://news.google.com/news/story?hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;channel=s&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;hs=Gzr&amp;q=Roxana+saberi&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;ncl=dQ7lY2PCKA6roQM&amp;ei=z2SzSeTuK9CCtwfnzKy8Bw&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=news_result&amp;resnum=1&amp;ct=more-results&amp;cd=1">Roxana Saberi</a>. After their rough landing, I&#8217;m sure they didn&#8217;t want to have to apologize for any more impudence.</p>
<p>One charming and heartwarming story twist?</p>
<p>The only one, in fact?</p>
<p>Ms. Saberi will soon be released from her Tehran hellhole. It seems Secretary of State Clinton <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/05/clinton-demands-iran-rele_n_172217.html">demanded it</a>. Now THERE&#8217;S someone the Iranians can fear!</p>
<p>I know I would. Wisely, they seem to also.</p>
<p>At least her. I&#8217;m sure Mr. Ganis et al aren&#8217;t throwing too many scares into them.</p>
<p>Damn shame those kind of <a href="http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/186393.php">happy endings</a> can&#8217;t happen to <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;channel=s&amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;hs=9yr&amp;q=Iran+women+abused&amp;btnG=Search">ALL the women in Iran</a>.</p>
<p>They sure as hell won&#8217;t with hopelessly duped Stooges like Ganis, Bening and the rest of the AMPASS team giving Imadinnerjacket, Larijani, Rafsanjani and all of the other Mad Mullahs of Iran their gold-plated, boot-licking, butt-kissing stamp of approval.</p>
<p>But maybe if more people spoke out alongside Secretary of State Clinton on these heinous crimes against humanity on just about every person in Iran by today&#8217;s Islamist Third Reich, things might change.</p>
<p>The silence from Hollywood&#8217;s gay and women&#8217;s rights &#8220;activists,&#8221; who seem to be the loudest in condemning we here in America as misogynist and Hitlerite vis-a-vis gay and women&#8217;s rights, is deafening.</p>
<p>Where&#8217;s Sean Penn?</p>
<p>Where&#8217;s Dustin Lance Black?</p>
<p>They&#8217;re the tearful advocates.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m the one that has to be &#8220;Damn The Torpedoes and Full Speed Ahead&#8221;?</p>
<p>Disgraceful!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t wanna rock the boat?</p>
<p>Screw that! I&#8217;m sinking it!</p>
<p>Where&#8217;s the press, which can&#8217;t condemn ordinary Americans enough over glass ceilings for women and Prop 8? The ceiling for women and gays in Iran is Hell!</p>
<p>Where is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFVlHsaq5yg">Darfur Champion</a> George Clooney&#8217;s raised-to-the-roof outrage over Iran&#8217;s state-sanctioned Dear Leader Bashir rallies while AMPASS is still sharing tea and pleasantries with the human vampires doing it?</p>
<p>Nothing but crickets.</p>
<p>Oh, well.</p>
<p>I guess the Dirty Jobs fall in my lap <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/252351">once again</a>.</p>
<p>But they shouldn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>By the way, this stellar AMPASS/IRAN road production isn&#8217;t wrapped yet, people. May still get a star or two yet from this Critic and Your Most Obedient and Humble Servant. But it better be a spectacular ending to save this naively idealistic, incredibly flawed and ill-advised production.</p>
<p>Still, the AMPASS/IRAN Roadkill Show has had some surprising developments to date.</p>
<p>One ending is for sure, though.</p>
<p>After all the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=AMPAS+gets+punk%27d+by+Iran+Government+&amp;btnG=Search">bad PR</a> I&#8217;ve generated (yeah, that PUNK&#8217;D byline was mine), I&#8217;ll <a href="http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/wholl-never-eat-lunch-in-this-town/">never eat lunch</a> as a screenwriter <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Youll-Never-Lunch-This-Again/dp/0451170725">in THAT town again!</a></p>
<p>But like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L9FMBbFJZY">Georgie Patton</a> famously stated, &#8216;Sometimes you have to shame cowards in order to give them back their self-respect.&#8221;</p>
<p>And if there&#8217;s one thing people don&#8217;t like, it&#8217;s being shamed.</p>
<p>But the root question here is, shouldn&#8217;t they be?</p>
<p>Damn. I sure wish Hollywood made films like PATTON again instead of films that portray US as the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0937237/">Dark Side</a>. Don&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>Forget it, Jake. It&#8217;s Hollywood.</p>
<p>Oh well.</p>
<p>At least some of them DO pay a price <a href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=Redacted.htm">at the box office</a>.</p>
<p>And if there&#8217;s one I&#8217;ve learned from Hollywood, it&#8217;s that Box Office Talks And Bullshite Walks.</p>
<p>One last tragically ironic twist on that subject?</p>
<p>I have a couple of GREAT film ideas like that!</p>
<p>Had, anyway.</p>
<p>Oh well. I can always write novels and nonfiction under a pen name.</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t want to eat lunch there now anyway. Not after this cultural Hollywood abomination no apology can paper over. This whole fiasco goes WAY beyond film!</p>
<p>Hell, I&#8217;m madder than the Iranians right now!</p>
<p>In fact, I&#8217;m so upset, I&#8217;m boycotting Hollywood for the duration.</p>
<p>As long as Sid Ganis and his Motley Stooge Road Crew are not ejected off the Academy Board and into the Pacific for this egregious affront to civilized people everywhere (particularly in Iran and Sudan), my wallet is officially Closed For Business. No DVDs, no Blu-Rays, no downloads, no box office receipts at their MacDonald&#8217;s-like fast-film franchise cinemaplexes.</p>
<p>Damn shame too. Lot of upcoming movies I wanted to see.</p>
<p>So It Goes in War. Some sacrifices must be made.</p>
<p>But they sure don&#8217;t compare to the sacrifices Iranian gays betrayed by Ganis et al make every day at the hands of our modern-day <a href="http://www.scrapbookpages.com/DachauScrapbook/SScamp/SSHistory.html">Totenkopfverbande.</a></p>
<p>In closing, let it be known far and wide that I love film, I love Hollywood, and I even love and respect the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>Just not today.</p>
<p>Because I just happen to love freedom, justice and human rights a little bit more.</p>
<p>Toodles, all!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4170160384/tt0086750">Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams!</a></p>
<p>PS: I&#8217;m on the War Front now, people.</p>
<p><a href="http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?imgurl=4f24715df2949fd0&amp;q=Carole%20Lombard%20War%20Bonds%20images&amp;prev=/images%3Fq%3DCarole%2BLombard%2BWar%2BBonds%2Bimages%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26um%3D1">Give me a vote</a> and <a href="http://teeth.com.pk/blog/2006/06/02/iran-youre-next">strike a blow for Liberty</a>!</p>
<p>All that said, Peace.</p>
<p>I hope.</p>
<p>Best to all, J.</p>
