When Did Protest Become A Crime? Kawa Mawlayee | DSH #1995

So then when you have 26 years of being oppressed,

Digital Social Hour

anybody that's been oppressed for 26 years would at some point say, look, man, if nobody else is coming to our rescue, then we need to do something, right?

So when you have enough of that, then people organize and they arm themselves and they take to the streets.

And so what happened in 1979 was the Islamic revolution where the people literally took their country back by force.

Now, when we talk about like staged coups and we like our militias to like, like Libya, Libya is a good example of us initiating a revolution, which was really just a paid revolt to take out Gaddafi.

But in Iran, the revolution was real.

The people actually took their country back and who they put in charge was who they wanted to put in charge.

It was the Ayatollah Khomeini.

But Ayatollah Khomeini, just like from Obama to Trump, swung so hard to that anti-America side because what he saw before him for 26 years was a very pro-America, pro-Israel person.

So he swung hard the other way and said, we're anti-America.

So then there was the attack on the embassy.

Digital Social Hour

There was the Beirut bombing.

Digital Social Hour

There was other ways of attacking Americans.

Digital Social Hour
When Did Protest Become A Crime? Kawa Mawlayee | DSH #1995

And he did that.

Digital Social Hour
When Did Protest Become A Crime? Kawa Mawlayee | DSH #1995

And he attacked Americans in Iran or in...

Digital Social Hour

in Iraq, and I think in Afghanistan too.

Digital Social Hour
When Did Protest Become A Crime? Kawa Mawlayee | DSH #1995

But that's what you get when this is what happens when you oppress, when you first of all stage a coup, put a puppet in place, and then that puppet just completely neglects his own people.

Digital Social Hour

You create these monsters, right?

Digital Social Hour

If nobody else is going to come to rescue them, they rescue themselves.

They have to be worse than the people that are oppressing them in order to achieve some kind of success.
