Did the Seyyeds order the capture of HMS Cornwall's personnel?

How to kill a few birds with one stone. The latest news about the HMS Cornwall and the Seyyeds did a lot, just when the oil price was not going to go up, the UN was going to give its ear to Seyyeds' Poodle, and many Seyyeds' people had left, or been seized in Iraq. I see that:

``The boarding party had completed a successful inspection of a merchant ship when they and their two boats were surrounded and escorted by Iranian vessels into Iranian territorial waters,'' the ministry said in an e-mailed statement. ``We are urgently pursuing this matter with the Iranian authorities at the highest level.''

Now I am a bit of a cynic. Normally the Iranian Opposition unanimously agree that the Brits are closer than anyone to the Seyyeds. That this is all a show. Then you have to think that the Iranian Navy are not really with the Seyyeds, and are doing this to set them up. And this has happened before. The Seyyeds deny they had anything to do with it, and the whole matter is settled. What happens to the Navy personnel on the Iranian side we never hear about.

An international incident is then not allowed to become an international crisis, but the oil prices are go back up, and everybody is happy with the Seyyeds, ready to congradulate him as he goes to do his Nowrooz shopping in New York.

Forgot Nowrooz

Forgot Nowrooz

Below is a response I gave to J Cox in this article:

I found your summary of the Iranian history rather annoying. To begin with, Iranians are not to be "feared". I found your depiction of Iranian as "feared" as insulting. You seem to be totally oblivious of the Iranian Spirit that has motivated, a peaceful union amongst the Iranian people, and the various ethnic groups for thousand years. It was the very essence of the Iranian Spirit as enshrined in our Holy Book The Zend Avesta, that has keep Iran for so long. Iranian Peace was Cosmological. We were the first to unite the world along Cosmological Principles, and our Empires are a testimony to that. Pax Iranica was based on Nowrooz, but you forgot Nowrooz, and that is why folks like you need to be updated.

What do you think motivated the likes of Cyrus the Great to be the First Human Being to free the Jews. Why do you think that Alexander the Great wanted to come to Iran? Again if you read the Iranian version in the Epic of the Kings by Ferdowsi, you will see that he lay claim to the Throne of the World, because his was the son of the Persian Emperor. He was seen and recognised by the Iranian generals, who accepted the fact that he was half Iranian.

Sounds crazy, but Christians owe their identity to the Iranian Astrologers (known as Magi) who had predicted that the delineations of the Planets would bring Jesus Christ. Our science was second to none, and I am not about to give you a list a mile long to prove it to you.

As with regard to your understanding of Islam, you completely forgot the role of an Iranian High Priest Astrologer called Salman Parsi, who saw used saw the advance of Proselytizing Christians into Iran, and found that another branch of Abraham's family lived in Yemen, and helped Halabi Qureshi to win and become known as Mohammed on the day that an Eclipse turned day into night.

What Salman did to Iran, has left Iran, and the world, with nothing but ashes, as he totally obliterated all the Art and Literature of the civilized world held in the Sassanian Empire in Iran, all for just one book.

But still the Iranian Spirit managed to live again. Nowrooz has kept Iranians, just like it does today, for at least ten thousand years. We Iranians celebrate Life, and we do not respect dogma. Iran's problems today take root from the a person called Al-Hilli. Again you completely missed that part of Iranian history. When Hulagu invaded present day Iraq and Iran, he was determined to shake the myth of Islam. Why? Because the priests thought that their "Allah" was invincible. And he is depicted as the "devil" himself by all Islamic scholars for obvious reasons.

But look at the Mongul invasion as a blessing in disguise. You completely missed the most culturally important part of Iran. Like the moment when Alexander brought Iranian and Greek culture together, to bring upon a Peace that the world had not seen for thousands of years, the Monguls did the same. The exchange of minds between the Greeks and Iranians, and between the Chinese and the Iranians produced Art and Science, that surpassed all standards of the world. No Christian, Jewish, or Moslem historian will tell you this.

Going back to Al-Hilli. Iran had at that time Nestorian Christian, Bhuddist rulers. They all tolerated Iranian Art, and our greatest poets were born then. Look up Hafez for example. Is there anything in what he writes to be feared. But Al-Hilli and his fanatical doctrine impressed the Mongul King who decided to allow so called "descendants of Mohammed" called Seyyeds to live and proselytise in Iran. And they have grown since then to become a very potent force. But the Kings of Iran fought the Seyyeds all the time, and kept them at bay - even the Safavids.

As for your analysis of current affairs. Again totally wrong. Iran can claim its Righteousness from the world, if and only the world recognised, that the people of Iran have totally ignored the Seyyeds in recent elections. The Seyyeds have no respect for what it means to be Iranian.

When you spoke of Khomeini, you forgot to mention his sense of righteousness. He lays claim to be descended from Mohammed. So what? Why should we Iranians care. Every Iranian can lay claim to be the son of Zoroaster and Cyrus the Great.

Your analysis was completely wrong when you stated that the Shah sent Khomeini to France. Khomeini was not in Iran, Saddam to sent him to France. It was the French who together with the US Democrats thought that Khomeini could be like Pope John Paul a bastion against Communism. And the French have reaped good dividends in Iran. No one believed the Shahanshah when he stated quite clearly that Khomeini represented both Black and Red. Khomeini and his Seyyeds identify with Salman Parsi, so much that they want to build a dam called Salman Farsi, to flood the very ancient heritage of Iran.

Mr Cox, if you wish to help Iran, then do this. Please do not use Iran as a tool to fight the neocons. If you want to help Iran, then help Iranians in understanding what any young democracy needs to learn. What we Iranians have not learnt as a new democracy, is that the people can topple any force with non-participation.

And it must be said that the Iranian population did not wholeheartedly participate in the recent "Seyyed Elections". But was this openly and loudly publicized? Did you mention it? You even hinted that it was some sort of democracy. How can you even consider this election, when you so vehemently denounced any form of election in the time of Shahanshah?

So it is clear that if the world media wanted to, they could ask the right questions, and topple the Seyyeds. They stand on very shaky ground, and if the world press and asked Ahmadinejad, "what would you do if an Iranian did not bring you fresh bread tomorrow?" Just think of the war of words; that would ensue; if the media of the world continuously bombarded the Seyyeds with these question; that would eventually bring them down, just like the General Strikes have brought so many zeolots around the world.

This form of Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) is not new. As a Liberal you know the power of this indestructible force. But the people of Iran are a young democracy. The demographic distribution of Iran is potentially explosive. And the major international companies in the world know the huge potential a new Iran can have.

The last thing the world is new competition from Western Asia. They know what East Asia did. The whole of the area of the world, that used to run the world for thousands of years can totally overwhelm the world, and the last thing the existing status-quo wants is to fight that trade war. So what better than to keep Iran as it is, or better still make it into a complete pariah state. But little do they know that we have close to four million very rich, very well educated Iranians outside Iran, who love Iran, and will not allow their country be plundered by aliens from within or without, because we have not forgotten the Spirit of Nowrooz.

Anti Neocons using Iran as a scapegoat

There are people in the world that do not want to give one iota of credit to Iran's own resistance movement. They will then go so far as to declare war against the Seyyeds, as if there are no intelligent Iranians.

Former UN weapons inspector, turned peace activist, Scott Ritter isn’t swallowing Gates’ assurances either. Here’s what he said on the subject during a recent lecture: “Ladies and gentlemen, we’re going to war with Iran. It’s going to happen. There’s nothing we can do to stop it.”

So I wrote to the author of that article. Below is a copy of that letter:

I was just reading your article about your car and the wagon when you compared Iran to US.

What you failed to realise is that the only way stop the Seyyed Empire is for the world to accept the Non Violent Resistance (NVR) movement in Iran.

The people of Iran openly declared a non violent war against the Seyyeds and are winning. The problem is that the media in the world that is against the neocons will use any country that is anti US as fodder against the neocons.

So these anti US commentators are not that much for secular Iranians as they are against neocons. If they really cared for the real Iranians who see themselves as sons of Zoroaster and Cyrus the Great, then they would ask them how they would like to remove the alien Seyyeds.

NVR is not interested in physical confrontation, and its principles are not too different from other NVR movements in human history. NVR movements created regime changes that lasted, because it was based on winning the peace first without war.

But don't you dare think that we are that passive. NVR will provoke the Seyyeds with questions that they will fail to answer. Questions that will show their weak foundations amongst all the Iranians whose labour provides the fuel for your car and that wagon.

Rageh Omaar BBC4 documentary on Iran

A recent program on BBC4 on censorship in Iran. We all had a good chat on it. Rageh Omaar shows how brave he is, and shows the clout of BBC, when he is invited to pray with Ahmadinejad.

Iran now is not the same as that of 1979 and would not support the Seyyeds if attacked

Many Iranians think that Iran now is the same as the Iran of 1979. They think that the Seyyeds can bring on the nationalism of Iran, and stay in power. Just read this pathetic dialogue, that everyone is huffing and puffing about.

At a farewell reception at Blair House for the retiring chief of protocol, Don Ensenat, who was President Bush's Yale roommate, the president shook hands with Washington Life Magazine's Soroush Shehabi. "I'm the grandson of one of the late Shah's ministers," said Soroush, "and I simply want to say one U.S. bomb on Iran and the regime we all despise will remain in power for another 20 or 30 years and 70 million Iranians will become radicalized."

"I know," President Bush answered.

"But does Vice President Cheney know?" asked Soroush.

President Bush chuckled and walked away.

What Shehabi does not realise, is that first of all the Seyyeds know jolly well that the people of Iran do not associate them as Iranians. Secondly that any call for arms is just a political ploy to keep themselves in power. The Seyyeds do not have the hearts and minds of the Iranian people. If anything any call for war will cause major peace marches in Iran, which will be a precursor to massive uprising against the Seyyeds. It is then to their benefit to come to a settlement with US and UN and their Oil trading partners.

The people of Iran do not need the United States of America

Some people think that the people of Iran, or the society of Iran is weak against the Seyyeds. So they state:

Paradoxically, to liberalize the theocratic state, the United States would do better to shelve its containment strategy and embark on a policy of unconditional dialogue and sanctions relief. A reduced American threat would deprive the hard-liners of the conflict they need to justify their concentration of power. In the meantime, as Iran became assimilated into the global economy, the regime's influence would inevitably yield to the private sector, with its demands for accountability and reform.

It is important to appreciate that Iran has a political system without precedent or parallel in modern history. The struggle there is not just between reactionaries and reformers, conservatives and liberals, but fundamentally between the state and society. A subtle means of diminishing the state and empowering the society is, in the end, the best manner of promoting not only democracy but also nuclear disarmament.

Where have these astute people been? Don't they realise that the young people of Iran have built a new internet network that has bypassed the Seyyed rulers. We do not need United States. It is non violent, and is a lot more subtle.

Dilip Hiro makes another stupid comment on Iran's Seyyeds - cheghadr khareh in mard?

One of the more startling comments I have just come across is this one from Dilip. You know he got his fame from supporting AK. He has been on my radar for so long. Well read this:

Specifically, if Iran were to target Israel, it would find itself annihilated since - equipped with submarine-borne nuclear weapons - Israel possesses the second-strike capability that Tehran does not.

It is as if the alien Seyyeds in Iran care. They know that once they have "wiped Israel off the map", their Mahdi will come and save them against anything. That includes an Israeli submarine nuclear attack.

Getting up Iran's Seyyeds' noses in Iraq

Someone is getting up the Seyyeds' noses badly. They are nicking their agents, and no one knows who it is that's doing it. That's funny.

"We've checked with our units and it was not an MNF-I (Multi-National Forces - Iraq) unit that participated in that event," military spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Garver said, adding he could not confirm the diplomat was seized.

It is about time someone gave the Seyyeds a taste of their own medicine. After all, it was the likes of Ahmadinejad, who have taken so much, no too much credit, for the US Embassy hijacking.

Margin call for Ahmadinejad's account

I have always thought that Ahmadinejad primarily was supported by folks who wanted him to bring the price of oil up. Moreover no one supported anyone in opposition to him. Anyway, what have US oil companies, Islamist Fascists, neocons, Russians, Chinese, have in common? High oil prices. The news today that the oil price has dropped is quite interesting.

The dollar's fortunes, which had taken a drastic turn for the worse in late November, seemed to improve with the oil market's decline. The euro was down about 0.6 percent against the U.S. currency to trade at $1.3089.

"We've had very warm weather, and that's part of what's driving oil prices down," said Elisabeth Denison, economist at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein.

But I have also noticed that once the drop becomes a slide, then major events take place to stem that free fall. Unfortunately the people who stand to lose money in the fall in the price of oil, have a lot of money and influence. So expect to see big flare ups of war and violence and terror, to create a scary rally in oil. But it won't work, and the producers will increase production.

Once the price of oil really starts to consolidate at lower prices, then OPEC will start to fall apart as countries will cheat on their quotas. With the higher US dollar and Islamist Fascists holding Euros, then Ahamdinejad's trade account will experience some serious margin calls.

With the US fleet in the Persian Gulf, beginning what looks like a campaign to hermetically seal the Islamist Fascists in Iran from all borders, the future for the Islamist Fascists does not look bright at all.

Ignore Ahmadinejad in 2007

With the start of 2007, I believe the world press must have one resolution. Ignore ignorant comments from anyone abusing the media. One great example is the idiot Ahmadinejad in Iran, who thinks that he can abuse the international media with such comments:

"I'm sure that soon we will observe the collapse of the Zionist regime (Israel)," the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying, without elaborating.

"The Holocaust was fabricated by the West in order to reach its goals," state television quoted him as saying.

So could the editors at Reuters and AP not give this baffoon any space. All he does is to insult the intelligence of everyone on the planet. Most Iranians will tell you that the ignorance of the world press, has as much to do with changing the regime in Iran, as the policies of the Islamist Fascists themselves.
