EMET and The Center for Security Policy

EMET is proud to link efforts with The Center for Security Policy in Washington, as part of the campaign to ensure that Americans divest from companies who do business with states that sponsor terrorist organizations, or who are, themselves, terrorist regimes. By this, we will weaken the governments of Kim Jung Il of North Korea and Mahamoud Ahamdinajad of Iran. We will be hitting them in the pocket book, where it hurts.

Showdown Time for Iran’s Military Dictatorship
By Clare M. Lopez
19 June 2009

With Iranians taking to the streets again by the hundreds of thousands, memories flash back to 1979, the last time that sheer mass of numbers fired with hatred of tyranny toppled an autocrat in Tehran.

Missiles, Bombs and Tweets
By Sarah N. Stern, June 19, 2009
 
 At this point, we are still unsure whether or not the beautiful dissident struggle for increasing freedoms under the Iranian theocratic boot will flower like the orange revolution of the Ukraine in 2004 to 2005, or will be squelched like the pro-democracy movement of Tiananmen Square, China in 1989.

Syrian Youth Preparing for their Day of Reckoning

(Reform Party of Syria)

Washington - June 21, 2009 (Samer Hussein) - Syrians are learning the Internet faster than the regime can use it to stifle their freedom.

From : Michael Ledeen:

I’ve received what purports to be a statement from Mousavi’s Office in Tehran.  Like everyone else covering the revolution, I get a lot of material that can’t be authenticated, and one must always take such material with a healthy dose of skepticism.

The Settlements Myth

By Charles Krauthammer
Friday, June 5, 2009

President Obama repeatedly insists that American foreign policy be conducted with modesty and humility. Above all, there will be no more "dictating" to other countries. We should "forge partnerships as opposed to simply dictating solutions," he told the G-20 summit.

In meeting with Bibi, Obama boosted Iran

by Sarah N. Stern
Special to WJW

All lies and jest. Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest - "The Boxer," Paul Simon

President Barack Obama emerged from his meeting last week with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayhu with these words: "If there is a linkage between Iran and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, I personally believe it actually runs the other way. To the extent that we can make peace to the Palestinians and the Israelis, then I think that it actually strengthens our hand in the international community in dealing with the Iranian threat."

Remarks at the  “Rays of Light in the Darkness Dinner” May 6, 2009
By Sarah N. Stern

I often wonder, “What provokes a person to speak the truth when he knows that those very words, that are so necessary to be heard, might possibly result in a huge loss of precious political capitol,  social exclusion from one’s community, family and friends, or might even incur the risk of physical persecution or  of sentencing oneself to an early death?
