    In Solidarity with the Iranian People

    Maybe seen here before, but worth revisiting.

    One of my closest & dearest friends is Iranian.

    h/t Lew Rockwell

    On June 24, 2009, Iranian singer Andy Madadian went into an LA recording studio with Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and American record producers Don Was and John Shanks to record a message of solidarity with the people of Iran. " (Thanks to Kathleen Sheridan)

    On June 24, Iranian Superstar Andy Madadian went into an LA recording studio with Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and American record producers Don Was and John Shanks to record a musical message of worldwide solidarity with the people of Iran. This version of the old Ben E. King classic is not for sale - it was not meant to be on the Billboard charts or even manufactured as a CD.....it's intended to be downloaded and shared by the Iranian people...to give voice to the sentiment that all people of the world stand together....the handwritten Farsi sign in the video translates to "we are one". If you know someone in Iran - or someone who knows someone in Iran - please share this link

    Beautifully done.
    "When a portion of wealth is transferred from the person who owns it—without his consent and without compensation, and whether by force or by fraud—to anyone who does not own it, then I say that property is violated; that an act of plunder is committed." - Bastiat : The Law

    Nor will I. Nor will Ramin (my friend) - he hates, loathes & despises the current regime (and the Shah's regime before that).

    But he's also horrified at how badly warped the image of Iran (in general) is in the West.
