    Reflections On Being Deported + Fighting Complacency│Prison Pulpit #80

    I’m running out of time this week, but managed to record a few thoughts from a small lounge in the Houston airport, on my way to teach in Lima, Peru, on the (almost) anniversary of my arrest in China.  I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben.

    Uncareful: The Mistakes That Led To My Arrest, Interrogation, and Deportation from China (Unbeaten.vip)

    Today’s podcast was recorded in a church parking lot in Enfield, CT.

Oil is at the center of this, not freedom. That is the uncomfortable truth. The nations pressuring Iran to make a deal are doing so because their economies cannot absorb the current disruption. The nations quietly hoping the deal fails are doing so because the disruption benefits them. The Iranian people, who would benefit most from a genuine political transformation, are the variable that nobody with power is primarily optimizing for. That does not mean transformation is impossible. It means it will happen, if it happens, as a byproduct of decisions made primarily on the basis of energy economics, military positioning, and national self interest. Sometimes the right outcome arrives through the wrong reasons. I pray the Iranian opposition is ready to seize the opportunity to free themselves if and when the chance is given.   How to Give?
