Fancy that?Iran's government officially threw their support behind the Occupy Wall Street protesters.
They eagerly look forward to the downfall of our economic system....
Iran Calls Wall Street Protests 'American Spring'
But of course they would be wrong. That came in the 1700's...
Ironic though that they seem to support the chaos supported by Obama...and just didn't respond in-kind as Obama did when there was uprising during the Iranian elections and Obama said that we couldn't get involved?
Ayatollah Khamenei likes it too....Allies in the anti-capitalists movement...
Khamenei Cheers On Occupy Wall Street
Barack Obama​ has finally found the common ground he has been searching for with the Iranian regime. They share support for the Occupy Wall Street protest, whose premise is to pit the virtuous oppressed 99% of Americans against the top 1% of wealthy, greedy Americans.
Last week, Obama said that the protest expresses the frustrations that the American people feel. The protesters, he claimed, are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration about how our financial system works and thats going to express itself politically in 2012 and beyond. Obama had previously told Americans on national television that their country is a nation with a system in which the deck seems stacked against middle class Americans in favor of the wealthiest few.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was so enthusiastic about the Occupy Wall Street protesters that she came as close to offering a prayer as she probably ever has in her lifetime. God bless them, Pelosi said.
Ayatollah Khamenei​, Irans Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, who considers himself to be the earthly deputy of both Prophet Muhammad and the hidden 12th Imam​, must have heard Pelosis invocation. He came out in support of the Occupy Wall Street protest this week. He said that it shows how the capitalist system in the U.S. and the West has reached a dead end. When people use the slogan we are the 99 percent, Khamenei declared, the remaining one percent is condemned.
Obama and Khamenei would have been able to share their support for Occupy Wall Street as an ice breaker if they ever got together for those unconditional negotiations with Iran that Obama promised during the 2008 campaign. Sure, Obama would have had to endure a repetition of Khameneis charge this week that the demonstrators were being harshly treated by U.S. officials. Prophet Muhammads self-declared earthly deputy said with a straight face that such treatment is not seen even in underdeveloped countries with dictatorial regimes. No doubt, to keep the peace, Obama would have bowed to the Supreme Leader and apologized, while continuing his own failure to respond forcefully regarding the brutal crack-down by Khameneis security forces against peaceful Iranian dissidents in June 2009.
