Ron Zook Twitter deep analysis. Is he fomenting revolution in Iran?


We all know and love the Ron Zook Twitter, window into the soul of a madman, a genius and a prophet. But as the old media has been telling me lately, twitter could very well be behind the groundswell of revolution in Iran. As protesters and dissidents gather in  Tehran en masse, it is clear that only a very brilliant and charismatic leader of men could have inspired such a spontaneous demonstration of civil disobedience. I speak not of Mir-Hossein Mousavi Khameneh, but of football magnate and political theorist Ron Zook. Just take a look at his recent tweets...

From Lou-just wrapped Summer I. team had great attitude. we start summer 2 today. they're getting bodies ready and minds focused. 6:30 AM Jun 15th

The reference to focused minds and ready bodies is most likely a reference to Che's idea of the "new man" ideal who would operate under the collectivist ideal. The "team" concept could be a message to the student dissidents in Iran to seek unity with one another to overcome the oppressive government that seeks to stop their work for liberty.

Very impressed with how freshman look can't wait to get started 4:45 PM Jun 11th

Perhaps a reference to the fact that the current political upheaval in Iran is driven by the young, technology savvy college student, and the ruling theocracy in Iran is defined by elderly and out of touch mullahs who resist the change their nation desires. Clearly Zook is seeking to encourage the resolve of the students.

Congratulation to all of the All-Americans on our track team Go Illini 7:31 AM Jun 13th

Clearly here Zook is proud of the School Track team who recently earned all America honors. I am not yet sure how this is a message to the protestors, but I am sure its in there somewhere. Perhaps he is pushing for solidarity between Americans and those in Iran pushing for democracy. Perhaps he is even to wily for me.

It is clear though that Zook is a master of social networking technology and has used it to stir up unrest in far away nations, to bring about the downfall of tyrannical dictators, and to bring freedom to the world. With only a Twitter he has nearly brought down the brutal ruling regime of Iran. Imagine what he could do with a facebook page.

He pisses intensity.

He shits excellence.

He causes Iran’s leadership bad gas.

Ron Zook is, quite frankly, the man.
