Interesting article. It made me really get a feeling for what it must be like for the “educated and intelligent” citizens of Iran or other dictatorial mideast hellholes. We could be in the same boat if we don’t stop it.
(I'm sure that Obama and his pals are studying the Iranian regime's methods intently)
The problem for Iran is that if the mullahs are overthrown, the poor are going to not like it, and will rise up the minute some ayatollah comes along to lead them. The problem for the middle class is that they will never have peace and freedom as long as the underclass physically exists.
So many fallacies. The article is in the end total bs. Why? Food and fuel. The poor can only go get a chicken only as long as there are chickens to have. Since a large portion of food and 80-90% of fuel is imported, everyone is having issues. Reports are the middle class has been wiped out, the merchant class, which installed the islamists are pissed as they too loose everything. Major demonstration are occurring. So if you don’t have fuel, how do you move food to where the poor an buy it?
The lower the currency the less it can buy from overseas. Internal pegs are meaningless.
The ubber wealthy also won’t get the goodies they are used to. Expect more high level defection, like iamanutajobs camera man that brought 3 years of vids and pics of the nukes sites with him, to NYC to film at the UN
