Read on and find the simplest solution to the mess we are in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a hundred or a thousand years from now, you will find that some comedian&lt;/strong&gt;, will say just that about the current situation in Iran. Why do I say that? Because the answer to Iran's problems is very simple. Call me what you like, but I see one common factor amongst all the problems. It is not a political, religious, or a cultural one. Nope, nothing to do with democracy and freedom and all that jazz. Guess. Now don't cheat and read on. Pause and think. Think. Think again. Ask yourself, "what is it that is everywhere when we write about Iran? It does not matter what the point we are making is, we are always using it. Think. Well the answer, duh brain, is the word "Iran".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are situations when we must not use the word "Iran".&lt;/strong&gt; In Persian we stick to this rule very carefully, we will use the word "Hezbollahi" or "Hezbollah", to describe those people who have those particular ideologies. We do not say, "An Iranian killed an Iranian woman, for wearing a mini-skirt" do we? We say, "A Hezbollahi killed a .... ". So why is it that the such reports are spun differently, when it is written in another language. Get my drift? That is what I am "on about" as they say in Cokney English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"No respect" as Ali G. would say&lt;/strong&gt;. And it is not just written by foreigners. An Iranian reporter writing for AP does it all the time. And unlike here, where we get a kick where it hurts, when we are out of line, these people do not get hit. Their words spread like shit hitting a fan. And we Iranians are seriously pissed off, when we see that incorrect word and syntax, is everywhere. "Khak bar saresh" we say. For this reason alone I set up a group in &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/community/groups/name-iran-1363/topics" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/a&gt;, where I point out these articles. Have a look, you will be greatly amused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Hezbollahis are not responsible for this situation.&lt;/strong&gt; You would think that they would be, if you keep thinking that they are clearly anti-Iranian. But look a bit out of the box. Their websites very clearly use the correct terminologies to push their own cause. A virus has a cause, you might not like its cause, and label it a virus, but it has a cause. I have put links there, and you can see for yourself that the Hezbollahis stick to their phraseologies very clearly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is it the Arabs?&lt;/strong&gt; Well those false nationalists that think that all our problems are rooted in blaming "Arabs" would think so. We won't go into all that here. That is a real Ashreshteh, and it will take a while for you to digest that. But look at the Arab Spring. They showed that their Sunni system does not allow religious government, and that is why they do not like the Kingdom of Islam, as the Seyyeds want under their Shiite system. If there ever was Royalty in the world, it is the Seyyeds', who are the most organised Royalty in the world. They do not consider Iranian culture as part of their system. They need a new Kingdom in Najaf, and a seat in UN called, Ayatollah Shiite System (ASS) right alongside The Holy See.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You are pissed off at the state of the poor in the world.&lt;/strong&gt; You want to blame someone. So what do you do? You look at the rich ones. Naturally you end up in America. That is what everyone does. Never mind that most of the people in America started from nothing. "American Capitalist Pig" is the scream. Who benefits from this? Well you would think the Hezbollahis do. Think again. The US government's way of spending its own taxpayers' money, is what is at the root of all this. Look at &lt;a href="http://www.warresisters.org/pages/piechart.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;US GDP chart&lt;/a&gt; and learn. Who benefits from all that money? The US military suppliers. They love war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ahhh .. now mebeenee ke I am right.&lt;/strong&gt; I remember when the war in Iraq started, US TV was interviewing this woman, who said that, with use of Tomahawks in Iraq, she would seriously improve her job situation. Never mind that they still didn't have decent housing, school or medical system. At least she could go and get money for making weapons to kill people in Iraq. The current administration is trying hard to cut down the size of the military expenditure. Now the same situation applied to Iran under the Shahanshah. And the moment he stopped buying, he was out. The Hezbollahis are wasting the public purse just the same way. They are creating a lot of fear for the military suppliers. They are not out. The moment they talk peace, and they are out. So how are they portrayed?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The word "Taliban" is used in Afghanistan to identify a unique group.&lt;/strong&gt; The word "Afghanistan" is not used when the Taliban have been in involved. So when the US warplanes hit the Taliban in Afghanistan, the situation is contained. The same goes for the word "Hezbollah" in the Lebanon. In Lebanese politics reports they even say "Iranian guards ..." and say "Hezbollah in Lebanon", when they should say Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran. I have shown the articles at the Wall Street link above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imagine if they used the word "Hezbollah" in the same way&lt;/strong&gt;, when they were talking about the nuclear program. Just recently &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/jun/25/israel-wrong-iran-nuclear" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;someone&lt;/a&gt; who really should know better, used the word "Iran" in the title, when he really should have used "Hezbollah". Now if he had used the word "Hezbollah", and all the Israeli press did the same, then the nuclear rights of Iranians would not be mixed up with the nuclear ambitions of the Hezbollah in Iran and elsehwere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope I have been clear and precise. I am sure that in the long run, we as writers, cannot fight them or contain them with swords, but if we are going to win with words, then we must use the correct words to contain them. Certain people know what they are doing is wrong. Some don't know what they are doing is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Persian is better:&lt;br /&gt;harkas ke bedanad va bedanad ke bedanad, asbe kherad az gonbade gardoon berahanad. harkas ke bedanad va nadanad ke bedanad, bidar konidash ke basi khofte namanad. harkas ke nadanad va bedanad ke nadanad, lengan kharake khish be manzel beresanad. har kas ke nadanad va nadanad ke nadanad, dar jahlo morakkab abadoddahr bemanad!!! &lt;a href="http://www.hamsafar.com/topic.asp?cat_id=9&amp;amp;FORUM_ID=15&amp;amp;TOPIC_ID=188&amp;amp;Topic_Title=danayi++va++nadani&amp;amp;Forum_Title=%D4%DA%D1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://iranian.com/main/blog/alimostofi/how-word-hezbollah-stole-word-iran"&gt;Iranian.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-8182609744512532028?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://iranian.com/main/blog/alimostofi/how-word-hezbollah-stole-word-iran' title='How the word &quot;Hezbollah&quot; stole the word &quot;Iran&quot;'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8182609744512532028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8182609744512532028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-word-hezbollah-stole-word-iran.html' title='How the word &quot;Hezbollah&quot; stole the word &quot;Iran&quot;'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-8920284334610344498</id><published>2011-03-30T18:56:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-30T18:56:36.822+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iran'/><title type='text'>Abusing the name of Iran</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you open the first page of human history, you will see that for the first time on Earth some human beings in this part of Earth wanted to have peace on Earth and bulid a civilization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Civilization began when the people felt they were not a threat to their neighbour and could cooperate t build a better life on Earth. Ancient Iranians invented writing an this was neccessary in order that information could regarding property could be passed down. The Pro-Elamite language is the mother of all languages. The ancient Iranians wrote a lot and much of it has been lost by religious invasions that wanted to establish themselves by destroying the past. Of course that has failed and we Iranians via the vocal tradition have kept the ancient books. The Zend Avesta is one such book and its ancient chapters connect to the Rig Veda. These are books that relate to 12780 years of history as based on the Hezar Bahreh calendar. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So the roots of Iranians are very deep, perhaps the deepest as the famous Gnome project suggests. Iran was the central hub from which human migration from Africa crossed the Straits of Hormuz and the dispersed all over the continent. So the Iranian plateau has been the cross roads of civilizations for millennia. That is why three world Empires each three hundred years were created by the people and each lasted three hundred years. This could not be done if there were no strong between the individual people in that area. So the ability of Iranians to be civil is the strongest. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In literature the people of Iran have contributed to works that have shown our ability to be civil. You only need to look at Hafez or Saadi or Molana that were written after religion was destroyed that we see the Iranians create and flourish. So religion was the only force that manged to prevent Iranfrom development from the 7th Century to the 11th. For two hundred years the art of Iran grew and Iranians fourished. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The power of religion managed to destroy the ability of Iranians to be at peace and create. This has been the Achilles heal of Iran and recently it has been used to keep Iran down. The people who have the weapons have terrorised the peace loving Iranians. The weapon traders of this world and other people who do not want a ressurgence of Iran, have helped the Ayatollahs to remain. But the people of Iran have defied the Ayatollahs everyday non violently as recently as 20 March, when we carried out our Noruz ceremony at the exact time of 23:21 GMT of the Spring Vernal Equinox as we have for the past 12780 years. But the world media will not refer to it, as much as it should because they want to keep the Ayatollahs in power, even though they just have guns, and no love from Iranians.&amp;nbsp; The last thing the media want is civilized Iranians running Iran.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So Iran has been the Bogey Man of the area. No one knows of our historical heritage. They see us as Moslem fanatics, hell bent on being the arch enemy of USA. Of course this only benefits the US which needs fear to keep its military industry alive. The moment there are other better enemies for the US then they will let Iranians get rid of the Ayatollahs, and not them fool the world with their own fake opposition pretending to want regime change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please do not refer to the activities of the Ayatollahs, as Iranian. Respect the word "Iran" and keep it separate from the horrible things the Ayatollahs are doing to Iran's heritage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you and Happy Noruz for you everyday.

It must use the correct wording when it comes to describing the behaviour of the Islamic State.  This BBC report uses the word Iran in the wrong context, as it is the Ayatollahs activities they are describing not the behaviours of Iranians.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Iranians have been under the sanctions of the Islamic State ever since 1979.  Some would argue that Iranians have been under this inquisition since it was brought back again after the Monguls wiped Islam from Iran and allowed Iranian culture to flourish again.  All our famous poets and art flourished under the Monguls.  Just look at the miniatures and the poems of Hafez.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It took a bitter force like Islam to stop Iran becoming great and many do not want Iran to be the great force in West Asia.

Why?  Because it is huge and it's heard by everyone.  So it is only important because it makes a big splash, like a big ugly elephant jumping into water.  This time it is making waves over the nuclear power plant that has just kick started in the port of Bushehr.  Soo what's the big deal Ali you say?  Well old fogies like me know stuff that should be put in reports like this and the BBC does "disinformation by omission" very well.  They do not tell people that Iran had the full trust of the world in the 60's and 70's.  What has changed?  The Ayatollahs' invasion of Iran is what has changed.  Just like the Nazis took power in Germany, and ruined the reputation of German scientists, these monsters have ruined the reputation of Iranian scientists.  The world relies on the media to inform them properly, and the English tax payer is being abused.  As a public service, the BBC must give a balanced report, but it does not.  It portrays the Ayatollahs as legit.  The Ayatollahs rely on the BBC to spread their propaganda, and it works.  This is worse than an invasion of Iran in the physical form, with tanks and missiles.  In some ways if the Ayatollahs has marched into Iran with an army and took on Iran bravely like soldiers do, then they would have been dealt with a mighty blow.  But Islam is illusive and has no centre as such.  There is no Pope or Vatican to hold everything responsible.  But the people of Iran have managed to gather all the influencial people in this dogma in the government, so that they can be seen in clear day light.  We have given them the feeling of power, but have managed to find them all in the process.  Their policies are front and centre.  The Ayatollahs have seen with their own eyes how successful or unsuccessful they have been with the Iranians.  Over years they lost the heart and soul of Iranians.  No Iranian calls their children Mohammad.  Iranians feel a deeper allegiance to Iranian culture that links to modern world.  The phrase Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds, has more power than any sentence in the Koran.  So we have distilled this element out of the Iranian world, and it is contained in what is a massive recycling bin.  We have effectively quarantined it like a virus in a computer. Now every now and then this worm tries to show that it is doing something for Iran's sake, like this nuclear stuff.  But the people know better, even if the BBC does not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in reference to: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Speaking to the BBC Mr Blix also said that it was "very positive" that Russia was operating a nuclear power plant in southern Iran, as it sent a message to Tehran that it could rely on an international market for its nuclear fuel needs."&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a

interested in using her accolade to create a non-violent movement, that will benefit all. &amp;nbsp;Let me explain. &amp;nbsp;She states, that if the regime does not change, then no one will benefit from the situation. &amp;nbsp;The non-violent movement, unlike the violent movements, does not justify its violence under "the end justifies the means" principle", like George Bush used in his invasion of Iraq. &amp;nbsp;Just because you want "Democracy" or "Human Rights", that does not mean you go out of your house and battle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are humans, and as human beings we can use peace to be united. &amp;nbsp;The non-violent movement is united along peaceful lines, and it will eventually unite all of the people of Iran. &amp;nbsp;Currently we have a small minority ruling over us with weapons, and also in the process of building weapons of mass destruction. &amp;nbsp;Iran is rich in mineral and human resources, but they have been used to build weapons of mass destruction to defend this small but potent Ayatollah regime. &amp;nbsp;What is more important, the United States of America's military industrial complex, needs to have the threat element, in order to justify its&amp;nbsp;existence in the Persian Gulf area. &amp;nbsp;The small minority's forces (IRGC), use their Mahdi Cause and the threat of USA, to siphon the energy and resources of Iranians, to build weapons of mass destruction. &amp;nbsp;The never ending exchanges between the US and the Ayatollah regime has bought time for the regime and the US to carry plundering their peoples wealth, for useless violent causes. &amp;nbsp;The world media is of course involved in selling exciting news regarding all this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We in Iran have withstood the changes the Ayatollahs have tried to make in Iran, in trying to wipe out our culture, from changing the name, to to changing the flag, to changing the national anthem. &amp;nbsp;We have stopped them non-violently and the Ayatollahs have retreated. &amp;nbsp;We know who they are, what they are doing, and they are cornered in their ivory towers of power. &amp;nbsp;They control the media and some streets. &amp;nbsp;But they still rely on the people of Iran to make bread for them, as they make bread for themselves. &amp;nbsp;They are like leaches. &amp;nbsp;But the people of Iran use other new more modern media systems to peacefully connect with each other. &amp;nbsp;We are the second largest bloggers in the world. &amp;nbsp;We used Twitter to tell the world how bad the media is, by reporting things the mass media like BBC and AP do not, because they are afraid of the Ayatollahs shutting them out of Iran. &amp;nbsp;Citizen Journalism is rife in Iran, and has saved Iranian culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the advent of the World Cup, the regime will get a lot of pressure on it, as the youth in Iran will use this occasion to greet and meet, and assemble. &amp;nbsp;World Cup excites nationalism and Iranian nationalism is what the politicians, religious leaders hate. Their ideologies go counter to nationalism and they will use God or Democracy to get rid of any thing that is Iranian. &amp;nbsp;But Iranian culture is based on Love and Peace. &amp;nbsp;Our poetry and philosophy united us, and the world knows this. &amp;nbsp;Iranians have not defeated, but overcome and absorbed any invader or ruler, be it internal or external. &amp;nbsp;This ruler is internal, and it makes itself look Iranian, and speaks on behalf of Iranians. &amp;nbsp;World powers and agencies, that support it, speak of it as if it represents Iran. &amp;nbsp;This regime does not represent Iran or Iranians. &amp;nbsp;It represents its own narrow minded version of Islam first, and then Iran. &amp;nbsp;It has no respect for any other kind of order. &amp;nbsp;So for Shirin Ebadi to try to deal with the regime, instead of talking about the peaceful change that will take place, whether the regime likes it or not, is wrong. &amp;nbsp;The regime is small and insignificant and does not need to be begged at to consider change. &amp;nbsp;The peaceful change in Iran will not hurt the regime, and will create a new Iran, where we can all live with each other. This is not what Mrs Ebadi says. &amp;nbsp;She talks of a situation that will not benefit all. &amp;nbsp;She is wrong.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-1394490124644914787?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/1394490124644914787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/1394490124644914787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2010/06/iran-shirin-ebadi-non-violence-and.html' title='Iran, Shirin Ebadi, Non-Violence and World Cup 2010'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-5421703554358596918</id><published>2010-06-08T23:27:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-08T23:29:43.391+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='us military industrial complex'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hezbollah'/><title type='text'>Why the US won't talk to the Hezbollah.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fact is that once the US starts to talk to the Hezbollah, or the Ayatollahs, then people's imagination will not ride wild.

It clearly shows the kind of sanctions the Ayatollahs have placed on Iranians.  We don't have enough fuel and we it all goes to China for them to make toys for the US consumers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Iranians had access to cheap fuel and proper cars to not pollute the country (which is another problem) then an Iranian would be able to function better than anyone in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why has it taken so long?  The US does not want Iran to become the next Japan of the Asia.  They used the myth of "democracy" to destabilize Iran.  Remember that we had a pseudo-democracy much better than the Ayatollah one, before 1979.  At the time the worry was USSR and Communists wiping out our culture.  Now we have Islamists wiping out Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully the oil company that has struggled to modernize with this regime, can get more funding, and sort out the problem.  I remember when we had problems with oil wells going down, because the Ayatollahs were more interested in other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The internal struggle in Iran continues.  The non-violent approach by engineers and others to educate and change the Ayatollahs has been a long struggle.  Iran would not be in this situation if we did not have aliens running our country.&lt;/p&gt;in reference to: &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"In the 2009-10 year, Iran produced 44.6 million litres of gasoline every day but consumed 64.9 million litres, forcing it to import the difference, according to official figures."&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href='http://in.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idINIndia-48723120100523'&gt;Iran aims to become gasoline exporter - official | Business News | Reuters&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href='http://www.google.com/sidewiki/entry/aliwho/id/h0Yye_GjqSNRHxA1A8EbrO7P4UM'&gt;view on Google Sidewiki&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-7017234751193420170?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/7017234751193420170'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/7017234751193420170'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2010/05/iran-ayatollahs-are-more-interested-in.html' title='Iran&apos;s Ayatollahs are more interested in centrifuges'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-1941444782143503079</id><published>2010-05-18T19:09:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-05-18T19:09:20.142+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Can't have it both ways on Iran</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can't have Hillary Clinton say one thing, and then Turkey and Brazil, say another thing.  Is the UN behind the sanctions or not?  And what in the world is China up to; saying yes to both sides of the equation. This is all a bit silly.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Let's be practical.  The day the fuel is about to be delivered to Turkey, Qom will say no.  The likes of Jannati will not allow it, and they control the regime.  The days when their Foreign Ministry (the old Reform Camp) had power, are gone.  If anything the die-hards will kick out Ahmadinejad.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now for those sanctions.  If the US really wanted to do anything, they would close down banks that operated in Iran and US.  They would stop those Chinese companies dealing in US and Iran.  That will not happen.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So all of this is just a superb way to waste time.  It makes good "news", and the media makes money printing it.  Meanwhile the US stays in the area wasting money on military.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Nothing has changed.

In this item the power of the gangsters in Iran (IRGC) and other areas in the world is seen.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Iran has not attacked anyone literally through its conventional forces.  The Ayatollahs that put Islam above Iranian culture have their own gangsters.  Yes they are close to folks like Bin Laden, and the Chinese.  This the new force that has taken on the world powers.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Chinese are not the real cause.  The real cause are the Chinese Banks and other US companies that are manufacturing via slave labour, and cheap Ayatollah Oil from Iran.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If the US created a positive direct relationship via the Ayatollahs' Foreign Ministry in Iran, then another bunch of "nicer" gansters would be involved.  They are the so called reformers, and they even included The Greens (Mousavi et al).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But from an Iranian culture perspective the Ayatollahs who put Iran after Islam, this is all part of their dogma.  The Ayatollahs want to change the whole world with their allegiance to their Mahdi or their last Emperor that has disappeared.  They want another Empire of their own for the world.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We Iranians have our own culture that is older than the Chinese culture.  The Chinese refer to Iranians in ancient times as Persians, and everyone else as Barbarians.  Yes that is true.  The concept of dualism is from the Zend Avesta, that predates China by thousands of years.  Our Ancients are from the last stellar alignment some 26000 years ago.  All will be revealed in 2012 Yalda.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Why am I saying all this.  Because the ancient that binds the Chinese and Persians is on a revival.  This is what the Age of Aquarius is bringing on to the world.

Please tell us what you want to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you think that means? &amp;nbsp;We Iranians have a Prince who is in charge of the Royal Institution, and does not carry out his job. &amp;nbsp;The Royal Institution defends the culture of the country. &amp;nbsp;His inaction has helped Iran to become an Islamic State. &amp;nbsp;Strong words? &amp;nbsp;Maybe, but necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My ancestor, who was the last King of the Qajars, at least admitted that he did not want to carry out his duty, and left it to Reza Shah (his grand father) to ask to be a President, and the Parliament made him the new King. &amp;nbsp;HRH the Crown Prince is not doing his duty, in this time of need. &amp;nbsp;He writes like a Journalist. &amp;nbsp;He is not a Journalist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do we Iranian then do. &amp;nbsp;We then think of abandoning the Royal Institution, and sell our country to the abuses of democracy. &amp;nbsp;Yes democracy can kill a country's national character. &amp;nbsp;Think of this. &amp;nbsp;One day you wake up and you see the name of Mount Demavand changed to Mount Khomeini. &amp;nbsp;Then what? &amp;nbsp;It was voted by the Ayatollah poodles in their so called Majlis. &amp;nbsp;That is democracy becoming democrazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We in the Islamic State, and that is what it is, as it not Iran, have obviously no one to defend the history of Iran that defends Iran's culture. &amp;nbsp;People have literally hidden Iran's culture under their beds. &amp;nbsp;We get our Prince in exile lecturing us over and over again, but he does nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this was the past and HRH Crown Prince Cyrus Reza Pahlavi was stuck in Iran, the situation would have been different. &amp;nbsp;He would have had to act his job. &amp;nbsp;But he has not. &amp;nbsp;I would do it, and many better than me would do it, but he has to do what my ancestors did. &amp;nbsp;We gave our house in Saadabad for pittance to his grandad, and he did resurrect Iran. &amp;nbsp;His dad was born in that house. &amp;nbsp;But what has this Prince done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an Astrologer I know how bad Mars in Cancer can be, and the Prince has that. &amp;nbsp;So has the UN, and that is why there is not action in both. &amp;nbsp;If you do not understand Astrology then I am sorry, but that is the reason for this situation. &amp;nbsp;What we have here is a drummer, not a lead guitarist. He needs to get his band together now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-5523813187054644347?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/5523813187054644347'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/5523813187054644347'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2010/04/from-theocracy-to-democracy-to.html' title='From Theocracy to Democracy to Democrazy'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-6753026893954346662</id><published>2010-04-20T18:27:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-04-20T18:30:28.634+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='laqueur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='communists'/><title type='text'>How wrong Walter Z.

Wow, my first ever. &amp;nbsp;Never has anyone blocked my non-violent approach, and that includes the pro-regime sites and forums. &amp;nbsp;So it goes to show where the problem is. &amp;nbsp;The problem is media, and it is a problem because people do not know how much influence these writers have. &amp;nbsp;People think they know everything, but they don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh it sickens me how educated Iranians, did not dwell into more philosophical, more Earthly, how does one say, more natural way of approaching life. &amp;nbsp;Iranians at the time of the Shah, were either the structured modern sort, you know Scientists, Doctors, Military people, or they were more common sense traders. &amp;nbsp;All of them blindly accepted Islam, because it did not interfere. &amp;nbsp;This is what caught us all by surprise. &amp;nbsp;But if we had respected our own pagan philosophy written in The Zend Avesta and followed Astrology then we would not be tempted by violence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am pleased to say that we are now finally beginning to see the non-violent approach and we are getting there. &amp;nbsp;Many of those born with Saturn in Libra are finally old enough to be involved in the new Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SJZ_xgqCOMQC&amp;amp;lpg=PA454&amp;amp;ots=wfCS6tiS-j&amp;amp;dq=dareini%20and%20mullahs%20relationship&amp;amp;pg=PA1#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=&amp;amp;f=false"&gt;The rise and fall of the Pahlavi ... - Google Books&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="500" scrolling="no" src="http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SJZ_xgqCOMQC&amp;amp;lpg=PA454&amp;amp;ots=wfCS6tiS-j&amp;amp;dq=dareini%20and%20mullahs%20relationship&amp;amp;pg=PA420&amp;amp;output=embed" style="border: 0px none;" width="500"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-7653012498891545906?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SJZ_xgqCOMQC&amp;lpg=PA454&amp;ots=wfCS6tiS-j&amp;dq=dareini%20and%20mullahs%20relationship&amp;pg=PA1#v=onepage&amp;q=&amp;f=false' title='The Generals that sold Iran to the Ayatollahs'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/7653012498891545906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/7653012498891545906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2010/04/generals-that-sold-iran-to-ayatollahs.html' title='The Generals that sold Iran to the Ayatollahs'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-8909084817231305128</id><published>2010-03-13T22:26:00.003Z</published><updated>2010-03-13T22:29:29.241Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chaharshanbehsoori'/><title type='text'>Why Iranians Jump over Fire - Chaharshanbehsoori</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/tm/2008/galleries/potw210308/iran01_428x343_to_468x312.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/tm/2008/galleries/potw210308/iran01_428x343_to_468x312.jpg" superadblocker_image="0" vt="true" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real reasoning behind this act of jumping through fire, is related to Astrology of the Twelfth House.

The Iranians, like myself began as conscientious objectors to this illegal regime from 12th Feb 1979.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had relatives employed in the oil and petrochemicals, and they, like me, objected to the new directives being sent out by the mullahs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every place, every important meeting had an IRGC or mullah sniffing around.  But the non-violent movement in Iran was born to stop them from the progress of Iran.  Iranians defeated their wishes from the 12th February 1979.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the problem was that the world refused to note the mullahs being defeated.  The world focused on the warmongering of Khomeini and let the war with Iraq start.  That killed Iranians.  It was then very difficult to stop that.  But we managed at the end.  But a lot of Iranians became Basij and that sustained the mullahs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh they managed to change the flag, the anthem, and many names.  They even wanted to bulldoze Persepolis.  But the ancient ruins remain, and more have been found as new roads had to be built.  The people of Iran do not use Islamic names to name their children anymore.  The backlash has been a blessing in disguise.  A new Iran has been born in stealth out of this tragedy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-153087131887181895?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tehranbureau/2010/02/an-iranian-civil-rights-movement.html' title='Iran civil rights movement'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/153087131887181895'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/153087131887181895'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2010/02/iran-civil-rights-movement.html' title='Iran civil rights movement'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-95922040968235128</id><published>2010-02-17T12:37:00.001Z</published><updated>2010-02-17T12:37:31.302Z</updated><title type='text'>Clinton, Gibbs on Iran Nukes -- Out of the Mouths of Babes</title><content type='html'>@Caru&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a level of doubt that has risen purely from the foreign policy of the mullahs, and their sense of world order.  In the time of the Shah, the US did not mind even if Iran had the bomb.  So it is the type of people that are running the country that matters.  We have a lot of intelligent people in Iran and outside, who can represent Iran, and do not have wacko 7th Century ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question you need to be asking is, why did a modern state in 1979 get derailed by Carter.

This guy Obama is different.  Right from the start he has been seen as the black darling of the world.  He reminds me of the days when Sidney Poitier came to Hollywood, and how he represented the Ambassador of the Blacks in Hollywood.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So the US military managed with one simple act, be able to present to the world a new clean proper look to the world.  Whatever this man said was going to be accepted.  They did not have an embarrasing cowboy kid in the White House.  This very educated polished black man was going to smooth talk the US up the moral ladder again.  The EU was in love with the US.  The left in Germany were nuts over him.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But I said then, that after a year, folks like Jannati will not budge and this extended hand of Obama's will have a gun at the end of it, no sooner than the final days of the nuclear talks are over.  Once the US is out of Iraq for good, real war will be fought.  That is not the drug war the US is fighting in Afghanistan.  That is something they need for themselves.  Cheap supplies for their own men and women of narcotics is there for all at Helmand, as it has been since the days of the silk route.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So what is the real war.  The real war is the might of the young Iranians and other Western Asians.  As cultures that created the world's first civilization well before China and other Eastern Asians, we have the energy and the location to become the centre of civilization as we were in the times of Cyrus the Great,  We developed the planet Earth along human rights and the world had three three hundred year Empires that moved humanity forward.  The Persian Pride that is in all Iranians, is what this war is about.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The people of Western Asia know that their energy is being siphoned off by China to build cheap materials by their political dissidents for the likes of Wal-Mart.  The major US companies are not interested in losing market share to huge companies that will grow in Western Asia and put Iran at the centre of the world as it always had.  The US companies want to make sure that Iran is destroyed by a force like the mullahs in combat with the US.  The last thing they want is a peaceful economically prospering Iran, that will put them out of business.&lt;/p&gt;in reference to: &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Palin suggested that if President Obama "played the war card" by declaring war on Iran in the next two years, the political landscape would change dramatically in his favor. "There wouldn't be as much passion to make sure that he doesn't serve another four years," Palin said."&lt;br/&gt;- &lt;a href='http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010/02/palin-leery-of-obamas-war-card.html?wprss=44'&gt;44 - Palin: Obama could play 'war card' to win reelection&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href='http://www.google.com/sidewiki/entry/aliwho/id/QyOKHTcTR8lk_3P9zcJEriE9R4g'&gt;view on Google Sidewiki&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-7329432809866392778?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/7329432809866392778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/7329432809866392778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2010/02/real-war-with-iran.html' title='The real war with Iran'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-1642632691292056690</id><published>2010-01-13T17:22:00.002Z</published><updated>2010-01-13T17:33:16.721Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='feelings of Iranians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mullah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iranian opposition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='solution for iran'/><title type='text'>Why Iran is in this mess and its solution.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div superadblocker_div_elements="14" superadblocker_onmove_hooked="0" superadblocker_onmouseenter_hooked="0" superadblocker_div_firstlook="0"&gt;The typical historical references to the time of the Shah are actually incorrect. Connecting what was done at the time of the Shah with now is incorrect. The left wing does not apologise for what it did in the time of the Shah, and Trita is not doing it now. The purely democratic ideology does not work in an ancient culture. Iran like many old nations has many other cultural elements that have to be considered, before it is cut up by the blunt democratic tool. Things are not black and white, and Mossadegh was not God. At that time the fear of the Communist Party selling Iran to the Russians was great amongst the world. The world press exaggerated all this, and the result was complete economic disaster for Iran whilst Mossadegh was around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know all this to be true because my father was a leading industrialists at the time of Mossadegh. He advised Mossadegh not to make such a big deal and not to allow the oil price to rise. The world of oil was and is in the hands of the distributers, and Mossadegh refused to understand this simple fact. He thought that just having the oil is the be and end all of it all. He built a political scenario around this, and like Khomeini tried to convince the people that the Shah stood at the ports and filled his pockets with money. He promised great revenues for the people of Iran, and like Khomeini, got power but never delivered. Luckily his rent-a-crowds were not around for too long and the people did worry about his dealings with the Communists. Mentioning Mossadegh at the time of the Shah was as if you were talking about the Russians. So the people did see a threat to their freedom. We did have elections at the time of the Shah, but like this Theocracy it was protected against the radicals. These radicals do not give credit to the fact that the Shah was on the side of Ancient Iranian culture, whilst the Khomeinists put Islam above Iran. Iran comes before Islam or Democracy in my and many Iranians' lives. Trita et al think like the mullahs in that ideology - namely democracy (a political ideology) should come above Iranian culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The spirit of Iran, rooted in its ancient culture propelled Iranians to put Iran on the map and make it the great nation it was. There was good reason for the 2500 year celebrations. But some people in the left called it a "tea party". They money and effort that was put towards the research to find out about Iran's history is what has kept Iran's dignity now. As we know Iran prospered under the Shah so much that it was ahead of Turkey and South Korea by most economic measures, and plans were afoot to make Iran and Western Asia the world's next power house. But as many people have written in the past thirty years, the world does not like "Persian Pride". Yes we Iranians do carry a big chip on our shoulder, as we look at the ancient history books, and wonder why were are not the Empire of the world. We have instead become a pariah state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there are important reasons why everyday we hear horribe news from Iran. The world press does not look at the Good Iranians who are working in many countries and in Iran, and could give Iran the honour and glory it has in its spirit. Imagine what Iran would have been if the Shah had told the world that he is dying from cancer and that it is about time that he was not the place where the buck stops. You see, in Iran, no one wanted to take responsibility for anything. Like most developing nations the people were more interested in being told what to do than to take risks and do things on their own. Look at the number of graduates in Iran, look at the number of new businesses being set up every day, and then look at the unemployment figures. Why you would say aren't new businesses being set up for a country with so much wealth from natural resources and room to grow?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the people who were fished out and sent to Iran were carefully selected and are supported to rule Iran, to stop Iran from growing. We have the highest brain drain in the world. Every child wants to leave Iran, whilst all the venture capitalists want to get a good connection with a mullah that they can rely on, because Iran economically speaking is the most undervalued nation in the world. Why the mullah? Because the mullah does not allow sane Iranians who want to build Iranian culture to do business. That leaves a bunch of gunmen and drug dealer to do business with the mullahs. But look at the companies that do trade in Iran and you will see that most companies trade at book value or less. You cannot get that measure anywhere else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it was not for the plans drawn up by the minds of the 70's that were logical as opposed to political, that are being carried out now, Iran would not have gotten this far. The people had to fight the mullah who right from the start did not want the modern state. To them it was seen as too western. Once the mullahs took power they wanted to reverse all funds into all the modern projects. It brings to mind the story of the Shirly Brothers who 16th Century planted tomatoes and once the local mullah found out the profit they were making, he ordered them to be flattened. And so the joke goes "when did Iran not catch up with the west?" It was at that point in time when the mullahs and the Safavids lost against the modernity, and now they want to turn the clocks back to then. Iran comes second to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside the Iranian is a zest for development and the world that hates competition from a new Japan, always supported forces that stop Iran from modernizing. The removal of the Shah was not so much removal of the Shah, but to stop Iran from modernizing. Rotten and useless equipment from Russia (as in aircraft) has to be bought, when we have huge oil and gas reserves. Like the time of the Shah the rulers are allowed to waste money on financial intensive military goods or nuclear equipment, instead of hospitals and schools above ground where centrifuges are being spun. Go to Natanz, see how poor these honourable people are, and ask them how many schools there are. Count how many doctors have moved into the area ever since centrifuges were brought into huge bunkers undergound over there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It saddens me to see all the wise people of this debate miss the most simplest solution to this saga, namely the threat of non-violent general strike. This is the only weapon that the modern world has against any nasty government. It took two days of a hint of strike by the post men in the UK and they got what they wanted. The press were behind them and the whole matter was resolved. We are human beings in Iran just like the people of Britain, but the British media refuses to advise the dictators in Iran that they are powerless against a general strike. Instead the media writes about the killings they get up to, and makes them look strong. They don't write and broadcast about the small strikes that the people of Iran are making. What if they did, and the people realised that their quest for freedom is making front page in The Times or The Economist. Wouldn't that encourage them to do the right thing? Of course it would. Hopefully that would cause the mullahs to react. The chain reaction would start and more and more people would get involved and the road to peaceful regime change would begin. This is not rocket science, and I am no genius. The media are the geniuses who have managed to prevent this from happening. Well done to the media of the world for keeping Iran in the dark ages.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-1642632691292056690?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://bit.ly/8lYcQd' title='Why Iran is in this mess and its solution.'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/1642632691292056690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/1642632691292056690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2010/01/why-iran-is-in-this-mess-and-its.html' title='Why Iran is in this mess and its solution.'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-2928461447182311069</id><published>2009-12-14T13:04:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-12-14T13:04:41.556Z</updated><title type='text'>Sheepish mullahs of Iran</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heck, why don't the mullahs just admit it, that they want to build the bomb.

But then tell Rafsanjani that.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-8050431000706557844?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.mehrnews.com/en/NewsDetail.aspx?NewsID=974466' title='Iran&apos;s Seyyeds want to move the capital of Iran from Tehran to elsewhere by 2025.'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8050431000706557844'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8050431000706557844'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2009/10/irans-seyyeds-want-to-move-capital-of.html' title='Iran&apos;s Seyyeds want to move the capital of Iran from Tehran to elsewhere by 2025.'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-4505272823381305434</id><published>2009-10-27T17:12:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-10-27T17:12:03.768Z</updated><title type='text'>The Iran Problem with Hanson &amp; Baer: Chapter 1 of 5 - Uncommon Knowledge on National Review Online</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Go to the link below and watch how wrong these Americans are when it comes to Iran.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://tv.nationalreview.com/uncommonknowledge/post/?q=ODgzY2RmYWQzMTViYmNlMjNiYmZhNGZhMDhjYWUwMjk="&gt;The Iran Problem with Hanson &amp;amp; Baer: Chapter 1 of 5 - Uncommon Knowledge on National Review Online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But it is our problem.

We want other governments to sort out our problems, and then when they don't we blame them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are the oldest civilization on Earth and at the moment we cannot get ourselves organized, just because we blame others.

Democracy is certainly working against the regime, but is religion? It's unclear.

As for nationalism, neither side can truly claim it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, like Taheri, Zakaria claims he knows about Iran, when he statements are assumptions.  The people of Iran put Nowrooz above Islam, and he should know that.

It is as if the Russian army has moved in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A National Strike is a concept that is used in the mind first, and then made into reality. We need to describe very fully its power, and its consequences to the other side. It is designed to change the nature of the other side to think it can talk to us and negotiate along civil lines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only time I will know that National Strike is working, is when the other side mentions it, and asks to talk to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right here would be fine. Mr Mousavi is not part of this side of the equation. He is on the other side of the equation as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the mean time, my task it to educate the people who are on this side of the equation, to act accordingly as you are not.

Hmm ... another disinformation ploy by BBC.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-4759604474578101480?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8117054.stm' title='Mapping the protests in Tehran - BBC disinformation'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/4759604474578101480'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/4759604474578101480'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2009/06/mapping-protests-in-tehran-bbc.html' title='Mapping the protests in Tehran - BBC disinformation'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-2472727796164257015</id><published>2009-06-18T21:51:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T21:57:27.464+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bbc bias'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='twitter'/><title type='text'>Who's who in BBC's Iran</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cremationofcare.com/images/newspics/bbc_bias.PNG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 166px; height: 110px;" src="http://www.cremationofcare.com/images/newspics/bbc_bias.PNG" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"As the situation in Iran becomes increasingly volatile, we take a look at the players in Iranian society."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the BBC really means, is that these are the people the BBC PR machine has kept in power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They must be worried about the tweets.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-2472727796164257015?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8102406.stm' title='Who&apos;s who in BBC&apos;s Iran'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/2472727796164257015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/2472727796164257015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2009/06/whos-who-in-bbcs-iran.html' title='Who&apos;s who in BBC&apos;s Iran'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-6324252536351973652</id><published>2009-06-18T21:27:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T21:27:05.596+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Silence is Golden: Iranians defeat Seyyeds with Peace.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='350' width='425'&gt;&lt;param value='http://youtube.com/v/XVWrktYA_Ds' name='movie'/&gt;&lt;embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/XVWrktYA_Ds'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For so long I have said that the way to save Iran, is with silence.

Social networking has empowered the massive 60% of Iranian population, that are very very young.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To me this is a dream come true.  I remember the days when Christiane Amanpour had to seem sympathetic to AhMADinejad; not asking awkward questions, and we all would think that she would put him on the spot, and she wouldn't, because she was worried about being kicked out of Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now because the social networking site are the only source, the propaGANDa machine of IRI that worked through BBC, AP, is not effective.

He said he believed Iran’s “ultimate aim” was to be “recognized as a major power in the Middle East.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you do with ElBaradei.  First of all he refers to Iran, when it is the Doomsday Khomeinists or Seyyeds, that are followers of their 12th Imam, who are hell bent in creating Armageddon, not the Iranians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, who in Iran wants to be so powerful, to then allow the US government to reason with its people, to use US tax payer money, to build permanent bases in the area.  The best solution anyone with an ounce of brain, is for Iranians, real Iranians, to come across as decent civilized people, as they were when Iran was the cross-roads of civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What ElBaradei wants is to use the Seyyeds to suck the oil revenue of Iran and teach the Americans a lesson, that the fanatic Arabs like him can't.

He says Islam is part of USA, when the Seyyeds see US as part of Islam.  He does not name the Seyyeds, but refers to their anti-Israeli, and violent views.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This indirect criticism helps the Seyyeds.  He either tackles them head on, or just cites moral philosophy like so many preachers.  After all what is the difference between a politician and a preacher?  A time goes by, Obama sounds like a preacher, with no concrete actions.  He reminds me of typical Sunday sermons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Iran from 34 mins.  Recongises Mossadegh vs CIA.  Supports human rights, but did not condemn the lack of it in Iran.  Talks of concensus vs coercion.  He talks about tolerance in Islam when in Iran people are being killed for reverting back to Zoroastrianism. Then he critisizes liberals picking on Women's rights, when they are stoned in Iran.  No mention of any country.  He just talks in broad terms, and subtley hits at Islam, when he knows that Islam is strictly intolerant to women's right to liberal thoughts.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-6558490665364912902?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/6558490665364912902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/6558490665364912902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2009/06/violence-is-dead-end-says-obama-to.html' title='&quot;Violence is dead end&quot; says Obama to the Muslims'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-5831492862450446608</id><published>2009-06-02T17:09:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-02T17:22:21.593+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='medicine in Iran'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mohamad mostafaei'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cancer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='youth killings'/><title type='text'>Iran's Human Rights Agencies Suffer</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Read &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124355320443064445.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; first.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Quite an amazing drawing by a Cancer child in Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://s.wsj.net/media/0528iranngo07.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://s.wsj.net/media/0528iranngo07.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"Speak to God, and tell him I have a Problem,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Speak to The Problem, and tell him I have God."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Below, on amazing man who is trying to help the youth on Seyyeds' death row.

His Hitler youth take instruction from the Seyyeds in Qom who think they are the chosen few to rule over the world, until their Mahdi arrives.  To that end they believe that they have the moral right to exclude The Ancient Iranians whose roots stem from the Spirit of Iranians as written in The Zend-Avesta, from any election.  No true Iranian participated in their theocratic democracy.  We abstained en-masse very peacefully, and will continue to do so.  The Zend-Avesta and The Rig-Veda preach non-violence and tolerance, and we Iranians have stood tolerant and steadfast in non-violent opposition, controlling our anger within ourselves.  We wish the world recognises the Spirit of Iranians and its Free Will.  Please abstain from this conference if this man or any of his ilk are there.  Show respect for what we Iranians did for the world, when we in recognised the plight of the Jews, and the birth of Jesus Christ.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-8345622385684207165?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://newsblaze.com/story/20090419104316ianb.nb/topstory.html' title='Hitler of Iran to visit anti-racism conference'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8345622385684207165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8345622385684207165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2009/04/hitler-of-iran-to-visit-anti-racism.html' title='Hitler of Iran to visit anti-racism conference'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/organonarchitecture/R1xrxmkDCcI/AAAAAAAABJI/RFD3bWrp5wM/s72-c/Bureau_of_Disinformation_thumb%5B4%5D' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-366137604917119884</id><published>2009-04-10T22:54:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-10T23:07:11.380+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama and seyyeds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='seyyeds being nice to usa'/><title type='text'>Barack Obama loves Iran's Seyyeds now</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.marvelfamily.com/images/comics/AmericanNostalgia/MonsterSocietyOfEvil/Extras/MonsterSocietyOfEvilPlate.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.marvelfamily.com/images/comics/AmericanNostalgia/MonsterSocietyOfEvil/Extras/MonsterSocietyOfEvilPlate.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The US State Department says from now on it will be represented when the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany meet with Iranian officials to discuss the nuclear issue.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is absolutely nothing new that the US and the Seyyeds can say, that they have not said to each other before hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news is that for the first time, the US can ignore its intermediaries, such as Russia and EU.  Now ask yourself, what have these intermediaries done all these years.  Absolutely nothing for Iran or US, but plenty for themselves to get aid, financial or otherwise, for various projects not related to Iran, that they wouldn't have, if they had not had such a "closer than US" relationship with the Seyyeds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems the US is fed up, or cannot afford to pay for go betweens or power brokers.  It is saying, "hey I am all for disarmament, and what have you got to say" and it is calling the Seyyeds and their web of contacts bluff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good.  But that still brings me to the question, "what are they going to say?"  I mean they deal with the North Koreans directly, and they have the bomb.  Heck they deal with Pakistanis, and many of them hate the US.  So what's the big deal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big deal is this.  The people of Pakistan can trade and come and go as they like.  Their government does not create barriers on their people like the Seyyeds do.  There is more freedom there.  But in Iran the Seyyeds are ruthless and paranoid about their power base.  They are there precisely for being anti-US.  Take that away, and there is no so called "moral high ground" for the Seyyeds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That all means that the people of Iran actually have the power, as they are the people who have ignored the Seyyed so called elections en-masse, and will abstain in totality.  They made sure that the Seyyeds dig themselves into their own Mahdi bunkers and pushed them all to the top, so they can be seen clearly in the public eye.  No true sane Iranian, that puts Iran First holds a public office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So think of the situation the US has.  It kept the mullahs in power to justify its military in the area now that its proxy the Shahanshah is no longer there.  It knows that the mullahs in Iran have no foundation, and they will be thrown out soon, as soon as a massive non-violent general strike is carried nationwide in Iran.  So it has to make them look good.  And that's why it is showing them respect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about showing the people of Iran respect instead?  The US never has.  It knows that the economic might of the people of Iran, as resourceful business people, with a country rich in mineral resources, slap bang in the middle of the world, with such enormous pride, will be too much for them.  The US industries cannot afford to see the likes of the East Asian industries coming out of West Asia.  The US industries have to keep Iranian people down, and if it is not the mullahs, then they will find some other monster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yah Ahura we won't let them&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-366137604917119884?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Barack-Obama-Offers-Direct-Talks-With-Iran-Over-Nuclear-Programme-And-Issues-Warning-To-Israel/Article/200' title='Barack Obama loves Iran&apos;s Seyyeds now'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/366137604917119884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/366137604917119884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2009/04/barack-obama-loves-irans-seyyeds-now.html' title='Barack Obama loves Iran&apos;s Seyyeds now'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-8753917493030711582</id><published>2009-04-09T13:12:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-09T18:31:53.228+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guiliani'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='seyyeds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iran reformists'/><title type='text'>Giuliani should address the non-violent movement of Iran</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.sodamnfunny.com/terrorist/comic30.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.sodamnfunny.com/terrorist/comic30.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;'You have one chance to talk to the people of Iran.

Some leading principlists have also proposed a coalition conservative government that would dilute Mr Ahmadinejad’s role. Such quiet manoeuvring inside the principlist camp suggests a fear that either they, too, could find themselves split, or that the reformists will, despite Mr Khatami’s absence, actually succeed in galvanising new voters.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Quite amazing that a magazine like The Economist, takes these monsters in Iran seriously, when the people of Iran don't.

Moreover he is going to go for the top Seyyed in Iran.  Maybe that makes him different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fact is, that this non-Iranian bunch of bandits that control some of the instruments of power in Iran, are standing on shaky ground.  In fact their only legitimacy is the slogan "Death to America".  Take that away, and they have nothing.  Obama just needs to utter the words, "non violent general strike", and the people of Iran will shut down Iran.  But he does not do that.  Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh actually the Seyyed/Theocrats have done something no power has ever managed to do since &lt;a href="http://touregypt.net/featurestories/cambyses2.htm"&gt;Cambyses II&lt;/a&gt;.  The Arabs and Israelis and US, have now agreed to fear the Seyyeds nuclear endeavours, developed of course with stolen money of secular Iranian people, via their illegitimate representatives in their so called parliament.  That Israeli, Arab and US unity, is costing innocent Iranians far too much.  But the world does not want true and proper Iranians to be in charge.  That would propose a formidable challenge.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-8994708470451908452?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123689722950612523.html?mod=fox_australian#articleTabs%3Darticle' title='Obama team is no different than Bush on Iran'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8994708470451908452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8994708470451908452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-team-is-no-different-than-bush-on.html' title='Obama team is no different than Bush on Iran'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-3303072506958345445</id><published>2009-02-21T22:10:00.006Z</published><updated>2009-02-21T22:53:03.438Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='voa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='baised media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='general strike'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bbc'/><title type='text'>World media supports Iran's Seyyeds/Theocrats</title><content type='html'>Oh it is madness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the same old rubbish every day.  Elbaradei this, Nuclear that, US says this, UN says that, the Chinese uming and erring, the Russians delivering missiles or not delivering missiles, and finally Israelis attack or not attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of this helps the Seyyeds/Theocrats to be up there in the world news, for no reason at all.  We all know that the people of Iran do not support them, and given half a chance to express their view, will let the pro-Seyyed/Theocrat world press know, that they could topple them in a general strike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why isn't it happening?  Why is it that the people of Iran just get their act together, and start to write about a general strike.  Truth is, that they have, but it does not get mass media publicity.  If the mass media really wanted, it could bombard the Seyyed/Theocrats with questions about their inability to survive a general strike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the mass media does not do this.  That is why we Iranian Bloggers are the third largest community of Bloggers in the world.  No one expresses our views for us.  Why you may ask?  Conspiracy theorists would say, that the Seyyed/Theocrats need to be there to replace the threat of USSR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even now with Obama, we are told, that the US forces and all the military industries in the US, will die out, if Iran suddenly was not enemy number one. Or Pax Americana would be finished without the Seyyeds/Theocrats making ugly comments from Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But still, we Iranians should be able to sort out our own mess.  Why don't we?  Yeah why don't we?  Well look, even the TV stations that are anti-Seyyed/Theocrats, like the VOA or the new BBC Persian TV dare not mention anything to do with general strike.  And the very little anti-Seyyed/Theocrat news that is mentioned, is deemed to be of Israeli origin.  Or if there is an Iranian that is a true secular Iranian, he or she is labelled as pro-Israeli, or someone who believes in dictatorship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's how crazy it is.  All the Iran loving people are excluded from the powerful world press.  They can only be found in Blogs and Forums.  None of the main newswires care about them.  Even the newswires own Iran correspondents refuse to rise above politics, religion and commerce, and look at Iran's culture coming first.  They refuse to understand that the culture of Iran is more important than politics, religion, and commerce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask any Iranian what he will agree with another Iranian on, and it is on cultural matters.  Things like the flag should not have changed, the national anthem should not have changed.  The names of the streets should not have changed.  But the world press refuses to comment on this, and does not help us regain our culture with peaceful non-violent general strikes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-3303072506958345445?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/feeds/3303072506958345445/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4846630518767515595&amp;postID=3303072506958345445' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/3303072506958345445'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/3303072506958345445'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2009/02/world-media-supports-irans.html' title='World media supports Iran&apos;s Seyyeds/Theocrats'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-7923584157508100802</id><published>2009-02-07T12:16:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-02-07T12:32:36.145Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='regime change'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='military'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democracy'/><title type='text'>Defending vs Defining Iran</title><content type='html'>Every year, we Iranians abroad, get sickened to the teeth, as we see images of the madness that overwhelmed our country in 1979. People cannot believe, how a cunning fanatic pushed on a soft nerve in the Iranian psyche, and propelled Iranians towards a fake salvation.We are given a carefully manicured list of all the things the Shahanshah of Iran did that was wrong. We are told that that was the cause for the need for change then. Like Obama's mesmerising speeches for Americans, the people of Iran then thought that money will be better distributed, and it is payback time for the super rich in Iran.I was not born in a super rich family, but even in our own family, the ones who were not there like my dad was, very close to the instruments of power, told us, "you had it real good, now it is our turn". No matter what we told them; that we should be united against this Tsunami that is about to hit us, our own cousins ignored us.So a moral high ground was lost. The very culture of being an Iranian was being threatened, and ultimately was removed from the public face. The name of Iran was changed. The flag was changed. The military who were supposed to be above politics had switched sides. The Shah had left and the Royal Institution was in disarray.Rudderless and left to float on this turbulent oceans of delusion, The Royal Institution of Iran, that for thousands and thousands of years had been the sacred cultural bastion against known external enemies, had been abandoned.I would hear from the military and all those Iran lovers "abandon ship". The captain was down with Cancer and no one knew. All the ones with vision had been mesmerised by the Seyyeds/Theocrats. We Astrologers knew what was happening, and even predicted it. All you needed to read was what Jamasp and Nostrodamus had written.But what could be done. Iran was an economic danger to the world. The military toys that the Shah had bought were too dangerous, just like they are thought to be so now for the Seyyeds/Theocrats.Iran whose main contribution to world culture was the triad method of self-righteousness for the sake of righteousness as written in the Zend-Avesta, and later Declaration of Human Rights, was being ridiculed by all the illiterate media in the world. Even professors were lauding the aliens within. No one trusted us. Most were jealous.Some of us who were sent amongst aliens from the moment we could walk, were prepared, and to this day, keep the kernel of what it meant to be Iranian. We have had to withstand the British righteousness and be better than that, by being a Righteous Iranian. We rose above anger and became refined and very much defined than those in Iran.We always wished that one day we wouldn't have to sit down and define rather than defend what it meant to be Iranian. But a lot of us Iranians still defend what it means to be Iranian, instead of defining clearly what it means to be Iranian and moving forward. We understood the dangers of pure democracy for the sake of democracy, or change for the sake of change.In these defining moments of Iranian history we are all filtering what we don't like and upon reflection, it clear that we should not have abandoned ship for the sake of democracy. We know that Iranian democracy is different from democracy for its own sake.We all now know that Iran is sacred, and it has to be above everything else. We can see, and the Seyyeds/Theocrats like so many previous aliens that have been melted by the Iranian culture slowly and subliminally, have had to use nationalistic propaganda to whip up popular support, by wasting money on capital intensive military projects.We in the non-violent movement know that resistance to weapons is futile, but our peaceful spirit grows everyday when we resist anger and not bear arms against the violent alien morality. We know that we must not stoop so low to their level. We have defined our new Iran, and clear path to change and preserve a new Iran has been set.To that end we have thousands of young hearts pumping out Blogs that are all Iranian First. The more the popular media repeats the same interpretations it has for the past thirty years, the more the people of Iran will look elsewhere for the truth.The boat's sail is new and its being driven by young Iranian hearts who are above politics, religion, and culture. The waves are calm, and the wind is in our sails. We have established our own network inside the boat non-violently.But no where do you see the old media speak of peaceful non-violent regime change through threats of general strikes. You just read about military strikes. Our war is already afoot, and the enemy is the old media that ruined Iran. Ya Ahura never again&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-7923584157508100802?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/feeds/7923584157508100802/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4846630518767515595&amp;postID=7923584157508100802' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/7923584157508100802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/7923584157508100802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2009/02/defending-vs-defining-iran.html' title='Defending vs Defining Iran'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-8147280943083055500</id><published>2009-01-10T19:58:00.005Z</published><updated>2009-01-10T20:51:23.631Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='israeli-seyyed business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dialogue with seyyeds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fake price of oil'/><title type='text'>The nuclear balance of terror of Iran, Israel and Oil</title><content type='html'>So what would it take to get the oil price up, and get the US out of the area?  Remember that ever since the US encircled Iran, it prevented both the Seyyeds from attacking anyone, and prevented the Arabs or Israelis to attack Iran.  That crashed the oil price.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With news like this,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Israeli officials, shaken by the size and sophistication of Hamas' rocket arsenal, fear the country's nuclear center at Dimona may be targeted, the Times of London reports.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it really doesn't take much to connect the dots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But let's reflect a bit.  When GWB decided to jump into Iraq he knew that the US would be in charge of all matters in the area.  That was different to the Democrat policy of letting the Israelis dictate matters.  So this is what we are entering into.  An era where the Israelis run the area, and the US pulls out most of its forces.  That fits with what Obama wants.  But this time there are no Iraqi threats to Israel.  In those days the Seyyeds were involved big time with the Hamas and Hezbollah, but the world media would dare not mention it.  Heck, the PLO helped Khomeini get into power, and brought that culture to secular Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness that finally the Seyyeds' influence in the area is under spotlight.  Oh the western press will make a mountain out of a mole hill, and make the Seyyeds look terrible.  The Seyyeds will love it, and will even think that they are going to get blessings more than other Islamic Arab states, that have done nothing against Israel.  Ironically they will make the Arabs look pro-Israeli.  No Arab state will ever push a button for a Mahdi, so they don't mind the Seyyed making all that noise, and winning the propaganda war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But let's be practical.  There needs to be a practical benefit for someone, for all this to happen.  As usual we need to look at the price of Oil.  It really did not go up, for all the Astrological reasons I have given, even with all the hoo haa the press made about Gaza and the Seyyeds.  So ultimately it looks like any threat to the Israel nuclear facility will be the most scary proposition the Oil traders can be afraid of.  That would balance out the threat of any attacks to Natanz or Bushehr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This media theatre will be played out as and when they like.  I can see a couple of scary comments coming from the Israeli about the imminent threat to their nukes, and how they might make pre-emptive strikes to Iran.  They will all go long Oil futures just before that comment. That would wake up the US and they would try to play Mr Nice Guy to the Seyyeds.  Or it would go the other way round, and the Seyyeds would tell the US to be nice to them, or else they would take out the nuke facilities in Israel, just before they went long Oil futures.  Oh the media will have a field day with all these new permutations.  The Oil price will fluctuate and everyone will make loads of money.  A certain degree of inflation is better than deflation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once all these dots are connected in your average person's mind, then there will be a balance of terror, which will keep the peace, and maybe push the price of Oil higher to an unnecessary premium; enough to pay for all those ridiculous infrastructure projects, and military expenditures in the Southern Persian Gulf States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But don't forget, the Seyyeds could be kicked out if the media wanted to, in just one week, with a massive bombardment of propaganda about how non violent general strikes can bring the Seyyeds to their knees.  But until that day, Iran's Seyyeds will try to fill the ex-USSR's role as the biggest threat to the free world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-8147280943083055500?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.newser.com/story/46819/israel-fears-rocket-attack-on-nuke-plant.html' title='The nuclear balance of terror of Iran, Israel and Oil'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/feeds/8147280943083055500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4846630518767515595&amp;postID=8147280943083055500' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8147280943083055500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8147280943083055500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2009/01/nuclear-balance-of-terror-of-iran.html' title='The nuclear balance of terror of Iran, Israel and Oil'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-1169283645971860950</id><published>2008-12-18T19:13:00.002Z</published><updated>2008-12-18T19:18:36.828Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='economy of Iran'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='missiles'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wasting money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='russians and seyyeds'/><title type='text'>How to waste money the "Iranian Mullah" way</title><content type='html'>In this article it does not say how many, but each of these S300 missiles cost $USD 100 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Russia has confirmed the sale of a controversial weapons system to Iran, a move that could thwart Israeli or American plans to launch a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Russia is selling S-300 air-defense systems to Iran, the Russian RIA Novosti reported, quoting unnamed sources.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they wouldn't buy one.  They probably buy 100 of them.  That means $USD 10 billion.  Iran earns $USD 40 billion from its oil.  So the prognosis, is that the threat of Israeli strike, forces Iran to waste all this money, and not build its infrastructure.  That is exactly what the industrialized nations want from Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine a country whose geographical location makes it the best real-estate in the world, being sucked into a pariah state by a bunch of gun runners, drug dealers, and oil men.  The Shahanshah went and wasted money on arms, and now these Mahdi worshippers are doing it for another reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The peace dividend for Iran and the whole area is too much for the western world to bear.

A victory for the incumbent -- who until recently was seen as the clear favorite but is fast losing support -- could undermine any attempts to improve relations. The election of a reformist candidate such as former President Mohammad Khatami could boost the chances of rapprochement.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You think, that we in Iran need what Obama called "Change".  These cries of change need someone with guts to come out and say it.  Obama had the culture and fabric of US democracy to be able to safely such things.  We Iranians do not have such luxury in Iran.  Our country has been invaded by an alien Seyyed Empire.  They justify their existance with each one of them claiming to be a descendant of Halabi Qureshi (aka Mohammad) who in turn (thanks to Salman Parsi) was told to be descended from Abraham.  But what has this to do with Iran's 15000 year ancient cultural heritage as recorded in the Vendidad chapter of The Zend Avesta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The irony of all of this is that, if it were not for the Seyyed incursion into Iran, we Iranians would not get so interested in The Ancients of Iran.  We would not have changed, and found a stronger feeling about Old Iran, or The Ancients of Iran.  My quest into The Ancient of Iran, began as a spiritual journey not too dissimilar to what one sees when one looks at Stargate SG-5.  These are feelings, and illuminations, with quite a lot of delusions.  It is an escape the mind makes up for me, to accept that as a group of people our ancient ancestors were way way ahead of anything now.  It is easy to pass it as illusion, and be cynical about it.  But it comes back more and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Belief is growing in the people of Iran, that we were better, and more respectable than now.  When you look at Cuneiform, or such magnificent works of the Persepolis, you are inspired to think, that something very powerful was at work.  This civilization of Ancient Iran was not the same as the violence of the Seyyeds.  The Ancients of Iran are running the hearts and minds of all real Iranians.  That's "The Change" that has taken place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So with all this inspiration, why is it that nothing gets done?  Why as such magnificent people as we were, is it that we cannot get our acts together and change Iran's government.  Why can't we engage in a dialogue with the Seyyeds and tell them how they can be ignored with a General Strike?  Do we all have to make a "Big Show" somewhere so that the world media understands the stuff that I have just said?  Do we really need to make a government in exile, and have a spokesperson.  We need to go through all that formality with the press first to then remove the Seyyeds.  Who cares what the world media says.  We want to take care of our own land.  We have done most of the work in our minds.  It is now time to put it to practice.  We have until now abstained from any silly Seyyed voting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people of Iran have an Iranian feeling (Ehasas), that no Seyyed or other foreign country has.  We all feel that feeling and really get it in Persepolis or Damavand or anything else that is uniquely Iranian I call The Spirit of Nowrooz.  The path to change this aliens force is to let it know that they are powerless against this feeling the Iranians have.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-2389763556355310120?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.energyintel.com/documentdetail.asp?document_id=244202' title='Ehsas will make an Obama &quot;Change&quot; for Iran'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/feeds/2389763556355310120/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4846630518767515595&amp;postID=2389763556355310120' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/2389763556355310120'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/2389763556355310120'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2008/11/ehsas-will-make-obama-change-for-iran.html' title='Ehsas will make an Obama &quot;Change&quot; for Iran'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-9108535263556945371</id><published>2008-11-07T14:21:00.001Z</published><updated>2008-11-07T14:21:16.431Z</updated><title type='text'>Finally the Seyyeds are blocked by the US</title><content type='html'>&amp;quot;As a result of today&amp;#39;s action, U.S. financial institutions are no&lt;br&gt;longer allowed to process these U-turn transfers,&amp;quot; the department&lt;br&gt;said. &amp;quot;This regulatory action will close the last general entry point&lt;br&gt;for Iran to the U.S. financial system.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-11/07/content_10319407.htm"&gt;http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-11/07/content_10319407.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has taken this long for the US to block the Seyyeds.

With the so called elections next year coming along, the strike will force the hand of different politicians running for the Seyyed Presidency.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What is important for all real Iranians, is that we should show peaceful dignity and unity, against Seyyed violent rule.  What they would want is an excuse to enforce undue pressure on the people of Iran.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The people of Iran must show their solidarity with the Bazaar.  We must not be enticed to physical confrontation.  A national General Strike in alliance with the Bazaaris would present the greatest challenge.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The best solution is for the Seyyeds to face questions like; what would they do if real Iranians threatened to stop work?  They couldn't exactly drag 40 million people out of their homes could they.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The beauty of non-violence is that no one is hurted in any way.

First of all we had the Brits let them in, when they were supposedly guarding the southern part of Iraq, commonly known as the Basra region.  But no one was screaming and shouting about this more than the Iranian exiles.  We warned the world of this, and we were, and are told, that we are neocons.  How can we have anything in common with them?  So they are starting to learn on their own.  All Iranians have learnt that they have to see from the perspective of Iran First.  No political ideology, religious ideology, has brought the Iranians together.  Only the love of Iranian cultural heritage, that is at the heart of what it means to be Iranian First, can be the correct perspective.  I call it The Persepective.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So what is The Persepective on Iraq.  The answer is rooted in Babylonian perspective of Iraq.  Iraq shares ancient common history with ancient Iran.  Peace came to the area when the people on both side of the Zagros referred to their ancient roots and not the divisions caused by religions.  But there are those that want to exploit the religious sides.  We have no media power.  No one reads these ideas.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-5363209649795144963?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5gniKQVmkFo5eDYBptR0w_MqMX' title='The Persepective on Iraq'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/feeds/5363209649795144963/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4846630518767515595&amp;postID=5363209649795144963' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/5363209649795144963'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/5363209649795144963'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2008/09/persepective-on-iraq.html' title='The Persepective on Iraq'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-6674702737833436188</id><published>2008-09-20T13:37:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-20T14:09:39.335+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='georgia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='un sanctions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='us'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='russia'/><title type='text'>Russians finally speak the truth</title><content type='html'>"Russia is opposed to any new United Nations measures against Iran over its disputed nuclear program for now, the Foreign Ministry said on Saturday."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it is about time that they came clean.

But the Polish move, and the Russian threat, provide the clearest evidence yet that the six-day Georgian war has spread to Eastern Europe’s ancient fault-lines."&lt;/blockquote&gt;I suppose the only good thing out of all this, is that we can safely say, that the Russians are just as bad as the Americans.  Until last week it was US this and US that, and poor old Russia has no force, and they are the "good guys".  Go to any blog or forum in the web, and you see it filled up with how US did this to Iran, and how it removed Mossadegh, brought back the Shah.  And normally you get an answer, from the more educated types, that in the 70's we had the Soviet threat to worry about.  Jimmy Carter came around and called Iran something to the effect of "Iran was the bastion of stability".  And then he did nothing when Khomeini came around.  The Shah called it the alliance of Red and Black.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it has gone full circle, the Russians, are the bad boys again.  They are no longer given the benefit of doubt.  The right wing in the Western world breathes a sigh of relief.  The nationalists who are above relgion and politics, also feel that they can finally tell the politicians, to forget their "democratization" ideologies, and think about national soverignity, which is more important.  So hopefully in Iran, the nationalist sentiment will rise above political and relgious differences. We Iranians will put Iran above politics, religion and commerce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we can now say, is that the US will feel vindicated, that its campaign into Iraq is not unique.  Or is it, that the US's actions in Iraq, led the Russians to believe that they can send their tanks and aircraft anywhere as well.  And what are we to think, that the next escalation will be Iran, when one little skirmish between the IRGC and US forces erupts into a full scale war?  As we can see, it does not take much to light up fireworks.  Will Russia and the US want to cut up Northern Iran from Southern Iran.  Will we become balkanized?  These questions are old questions that we never thought would come around, but they have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;World history is full of scenarios like these, and for a moment I thought the 21st Century was going to be different.  History repeats itself, but not exactly.  We do not have a strong nationalist in Iran.  We have a Royal Institution and Cyrus Reza Phalavi has been chosen to run it.  We need to have the identity of Iran be asserted so that it does not become second to religion as it is now, or to democracy as a Federation of states.  Iranian culture is winning against the Seyyeds and their religious dogma.  People ignore them.  But is the Royal Institution really doing enough.  It has not really created an alternative council to uphold real Iran as opposed to this theocracy.  And if it has, the media of the world have shut it out.  More needs to be done on both the media side, and the Royal Institution side.  Not even an alternative Council of Guardians that put nationalism above everything else, has been created.  All the other little organizations are purely political.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ironically the Iranian identity and self-concept is now very strong.  We have all had to make big choices.  The youth in Iran clearly know what they don't like.  They do not like the Seyyeds.  They do not like politics, religion, or big business.  People want to have freedom to express and build what they want to do.  That freedom to express and build comes from the Spirit of the Avesta, that has written some 15000 years ago, that "Gozineshi" is the only way to "Khorsandi".  An Iranian wrote this, and it has remained in our hearts all this time.  It is at the root of Free Will.  The Iranian Free Will is there to save and unite us and it is winning against the Seyyeds and any future alien wherever it may come from; be it from the US side or the Russian side.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-8746507936658557968?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4543775.ece' title='Balkinazation of Iran vs Russia and US'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/feeds/8746507936658557968/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4846630518767515595&amp;postID=8746507936658557968' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8746507936658557968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/8746507936658557968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2008/08/balkinazation-of-iran-vs-russia-and-us.html' title='Balkinazation of Iran vs Russia and US'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-5631049091626063922</id><published>2008-08-09T13:47:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-09T13:47:20.093+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Politics and Olympics - Iran's Seyyeds vs Israel</title><content type='html'>I was really eager to see it happen.

The reason has to do with Iran`s internal difficulties: underdevelopment, poverty, unemployment, oppression and religious compulsion. In order to channel the frustration of the masses away from these problems, Iran uses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The latter has also served it in southern Lebanon, where it has built an advance front with Hezbollah. The development of nuclear capability is aimed, therefore, toward domestic concerns. Iran has adopted nuclear power, like Pakistan before it, as a means of boosting national pride."&lt;/blockquote&gt;With all this analysis which is quite correct, why do the Israelis concern themselves with the Seyyeds.  Why don't they impress the Chinese and Russians not to support the Seyyeds.  Why is it, that the Israelis want to associate the whole of the Iranian population as being in tone with these Seyyeds.  Sometimes the people of Iran think, that the Israelis themselves love to have the Seyyeds, because their threat means that they get handouts from the US.  The solution is simple.  Recognize Iranians not Seyyeds.  Next, help us to form a government in exile to instruct a General Strike, to bring the Seyyeds to the negotiation table with Iranians, who want to change Iran for the better.  We are the people who can change our country, and not US or Israelis with their air-strikes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-1633442111121398628?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/article_27803.shtml' title='Israelis like Seyyeds not true Iranians'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/feeds/1633442111121398628/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4846630518767515595&amp;postID=1633442111121398628' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/1633442111121398628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/1633442111121398628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2008/07/israelis-like-seyyeds-not-true-iranians.html' title='Israelis like Seyyeds not true Iranians'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-1463700284286243367</id><published>2008-07-29T22:34:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-07-29T22:35:14.670+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='joe klein'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='seyyed nuclear agenda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='neocons'/><title type='text'>Joe Klein on Neoconservatives and Iran</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://jeffreygoldberg.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/07/joe_klein_on_neoconservatives.php"&gt;Jeffrey Goldberg (July 29, 2008) - Joe Klein on Neoconservatives and Iran&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote&gt;'Given the level of threats that they've been getting from the United States, and from Israel, it's a logical thing for Iran to want nuclear weapons as a deterrent.'&lt;/blockquote&gt;Wow, talking about getting things completely the wrong way round.

The&lt;br&gt;green back is currently valued at 9300 rials.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=64912&amp;amp;sectionid=3510213"&gt;http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=64912&amp;amp;sectionid=3510213&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;First the Seyyeds decided, to sell the petty 2.5 mln b/d (when the&lt;br&gt;world&amp;#39;s demand is 85 mln b/d), in Euros. As the threats of war raised&lt;br&gt;commodities, so Gold and notably oil went up in US Dollar terms. But&lt;br&gt;the world media, for some absurd reason, made this assertion; that the&lt;br&gt;commodities are being bought, because the US dollar is down, and they&lt;br&gt;are cheaper.&lt;p&gt;But normally, when there is a crisis, like in the 70&amp;#39;s, safe havens&lt;br&gt;benefit.  The Gold went up and so did the US dollar high security&lt;br&gt;assets, like US Treasuries. In those days there was no Euro, and there&lt;br&gt;were no counter trades for the Yen to benefit from.  But this time&lt;br&gt;round, the Euro, and those people borrowing in Yen (which is making it&lt;br&gt;extraordinarily highs, as the debt mountain has mushroomed), have gone&lt;br&gt;up against the US dollar.&lt;p&gt;Now within this background, this Seyyed utter nutter, wants to&lt;br&gt;overnight change the value of the rial. With all the sanctions on any&lt;br&gt;financing outside HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and all those Hawala&lt;br&gt;traders in the Persian Gulf, it is going to be almost impossible for&lt;br&gt;this bozo to implement his task.&lt;p&gt;Who cares what he says, the markets decide, and at the moment,&lt;br&gt;everyone is dumping Rial, as no one wants it, with these animals in&lt;br&gt;charge.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4846630518767515595-5313718601286333709?l=rssiran.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/feeds/5313718601286333709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4846630518767515595&amp;postID=5313718601286333709' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/5313718601286333709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4846630518767515595/posts/default/5313718601286333709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rssiran.blogspot.com/2008/07/irans-seyyeds-try-to-raise-rial-vs-us.html' title='Iran&apos;s Seyyeds try to raise the Rial vs US dollar'/><author><name>Ali Mostofi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08733836559128392147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aBm_lIa-ubI/TIeceGIs3_I/AAAAAAAAFfM/k2C1eaXR04w/S220/hi+my+name+is+ali.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846630518767515595.post-6497364331737765803</id><published>2008-07-26T18:03:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-07-28T23:03:41.021+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bribing obama'/><title type='text'>Obama charges Iranian-Americans, but would pay Seyyeds</title><content type='html'>"The Obama campaign has promised to have a private meeting with Iranian Americans if we as a group can raise $250,000 for this coming Sunday's event," Manouch Moshayedi, a prominent Iranian-American...Wow that is disgusting.
