Going to the well
I notice that Ahmadinejad has been invited to speak at Columbia U in New York. Highly appropriate. Mahmoud's reign is centered on bringing the Hidden Mahdi out of his well. Columbia is the well of leftist evil in the US.
Columbia is where the new left started, and where its intellectual leaders Frances Fox Piven and Richard Cloward still generate new evil daily. Piven and Cloward are not public figures outside NYC, but historians of the Left like Fred Siegel and David Horowitz have documented their tactics fully. Not surprisingly, George Soros is closely involved in funding Piven-Cloward movements.
From a Horowitz article:
In their 1966 article, Cloward and Piven charged that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; that by providing a social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can advance only when "the rest of society is afraid of them," Cloward told The New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation; poor people would rise in revolt; only then would "the rest of society" accept their demands.
The key to sparking this rebellion would be to expose the inadequacy of the welfare state. Cloward-Piven's early promoters cited radical organizer Saul Alinsky as their inspiration. "Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules," Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judaeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one.
Think about the left and its media 'swarming' on Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and the Geneva Convention for a nice modern example, funded of course by Soros.
So it's thoroughly appropriate for Mahmoud the Well-Digger to be speaking at Columbia. Our own apocalypse has been rising from the well of Columbia for decades, and those same leftists have been closely allied with Jihadis since 1968. ¶ 10:04 AM
