Literature as Resistance: A Lecture by Dutch-Iranian Author Kader Abdolah

Come listen to a UC Berkeley's Regent's lecture given by the award winning Iranian-Dutch novelist, journalist Kader Abdolah. This lecture will inaugurate the exhibition titled "Dutch Clandestine Literature" currently on display in the Doe's library's Brown gallery.

As a student in Tehran, Abdolah joined a secret, leftist, underground group opposed to the dictatorship of the Shah and later the Ayatollah Khomeini regime. Before fleeing Iran Abdolah contributed articles to an underground journal, and he also clandestinely published two books. Upon leaving Iran, Abdolah attained political refugee status in the Netherlands where he has lived since and has had a prodigious, award-winning literary career writing in Dutch.

The centrifuge technology belonged to USSR. They paid ROUBLES and fed RUSSIAN food to some east german scientists on the team to work. It used a single ball bearing with etched spiral pattern to make an aerodynamic bearing. It was a Soviet Invention. all europeans and israelis copy from each other. espionage is second nature of anglos and yanquis.

The dutch are the most secretive society, extremely closed minded. The anglo-dutch alliance steal technology from USA and use it as their tool to carry out imperialist wars. They never ended the africaans apartheid in south africa. His highness Nelson Mandela paid special tribute to His excellency Moamer Qaddafi for his help to the south african struggle. The dutch-german URENCO stole Russian technology of centrifuge and were the proliferators, not the Dr Khan.
