America's Plan to Convert Iran to Capitalism
The recent modernization program in Iran led by US and Israeli teams has toppled the regime's leadership. Many in the US are wondering what the end game will be. Will this be another protracted war in which the US tries in vain to turn around decades of ingrained culture which relies on religious leaders to provide direction of every aspect of life? The loss of the religious leadership will most certainly create a 'power vacuum' which, if not immediately filled, will undoubtedly lead to chaos, and a potentially worse situation for the Iranian population. The goal of the US campaign is to provide a single cultural reference that provides for the needs of the people, while also satisfying the need for spiritual and emotional enlightenment. A place where the average Iranian can go to feel welcome while taking care of basic needs, such as food, clean restrooms, clothing and quaint home decorations.
Before
After
The US military has been working secretly with Texas-based Buc-ee's Travel Stops to create super centers that can be erected and stocked practically overnight. Several of these have already been erected in place of the former government buildings that were rapidly disassembled by US and Israeli modernization teams. Real Real News teams were on scene for the grand opening of the first of these locations. Pictured above is Zahra Amahdi before and after her visit to the new Buc-ee's in Tehran. In addition to the T shirt and cowboy hat, Ms. Ahmadi said she also picked up a plush Buc-ee's beaver in traditional Iranian garb, topped with the distinctive Buc-ee's logo baseball cap. She said the pulled goat sandwiches are literally 'to die for', and said she might be willing to try pulled pork one day. She took some Beaver nuggets and cowboy hats home to her kids.
In an effort to maintain continuity, traditional religious structures will remain, but will be topped with a reminder of Iran's new direction. The traditional call to prayer from the tops of the minarets will continue, but will feature 'new spirituality' songs such as 'Unanswered Prayers' by Garth Brooks, 'Jesus, Take the Wheel' by Carrie Underwood, 'Three Wooden Crosses' by Randy Travis, 'I Saw God Today' by George Strait, 'Go Rest High on That Mountain' by Vince Gill, and 'When I Get Where I'm Going' by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton. Wearing a cowboy hat and facing Dallas will now be acceptable during prayer sessions.
All this reporter can say is, "Welcome to capitalism". Now I'm gonna go try that pulled goat sandwich.
