Divest Terror Initiative - Starving Iran's Seyyeds

I really cannot believe this. Some people are seriously waking up to what I have been crying out about for such a long time.

Read this:

But there is a way to strike hard at Iran and encourage a change in regime or at least in policies: We can stop investing in companies that invest in Iran. Frank Gaffney, a former Reagan Pentagon official, and his group disinvestterror.org list 485 companies that do business in Iran.

Brave Amir Kabir Students

A student holds a sign reading, "Fascist President, Polytechnich is not your place", as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, unseen, speaks at the Amir Kabir Technical University, in Tehran, Iran, Monday, Dec. 11, 2006 in a rare demonstration against the president. Ahmadinejad claimed to be delighted when reformist students disrupted his visit to the elite university, saying it showed the world that Iranians can protest "with an absolute, total freedom," the hard-line president wrote on his Web site. But at least eight of Amir Kabir University's leading reformists have been arrested since May 2007, according to their lawyers and activists inside and outside Iran. (AP Photo)

Why do US companies trade with Seyyeds in Iran?

It is about time the US Treasury showed, which companies in the US at least, that do trade with the Seyyeds in Iran.

Most of the companies listed on the site are foreign, although the list includes some US firms including Baker Hughes, Marathon Oil and Mastercard which have disclosed ties to Sudan, according to the links on the SEC's website.

The SEC said the appearance of a company on the list, however, does not mean "that the company directly or indirectly supports terrorism or is otherwise engaged in any improper activity."

The new link on the SEC's website comes after US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson last week urged US allies to help cut off Iran's banks from the global financial system, accusing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard of funding and training Middle East militant groups.
