Why Rreza Pahlavi should be a candidate for Noble Peace price

Preface:

Reza Pahlavi, just like Nelson Mandela has supported regime change through nonviolent means. The main difference is that Mandela served 27 years in prison and Reza Pahlavi has spent 30 years in exile. I have lived in America for 35 years, of those 30 years in exile. As I have written before, seeing what the mullahs are doing to my people in Iran,
I am becoming more militant on daily basis; given the fact that once I translated Jean Sharp’s work On Strategic Nonviolent Conflict and civil disobedience, I am beginning to think that a bloody armed conflict will be our only solution

Throughout the years the Noble Peace Prize committee has made some excellent choices
and some outrageously awful awards, Someone commented on my page that promoting
Reza Pahlavi as a candidate will be an insult to him; however I think that if he wins; that would be a hard punch to the mullahs’ mouth.

I am not here to argue with any one, if you think he has done nothing, then read my weblog http://freeiranians.blogspot.com/ and educate your self about contemporary Iranian history.

Although I have enjoyed teaching medical students, I hate stupid questions & will not answer them. I will not spoon feed you, although I know the average Iranian reading time
is 3 minutes per year, it is time for you to read & learn. My schooling took 26 years, if I did it so can you.

If you have inferiority complex, please see a psychiatrist. I do not have time for you.

If you have antisocial personality disorder, then go pick your own candidates & if I may suggest, here are some choices: Hitler, Ali Khamenei, Stalin, Lenin, Chavez, Khomeini,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Pol Pot, Massoud & Maryam Rajavi, Khalkhali, and any other asshole of your choice!

For my Jewish friends, I will tell you up front that there is a lot of negative information in this article, I am pro Iranian-Israeli friendship, so don’t you dare label me as an anti- semitic! The truth & history is what it is & there is no sugar coating it! Man-up!

The Nobel Peace Prize

The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded 90 times to 120 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2009 – 97 times to individuals and 23 times to organizations. Since International Committee of the Red Cross was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1917, 1944 and 1963, and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1954 and 1981, that means 97 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

2009 –Hussein Obama

An affirmative action president who is an Islamic Marxist, he is fit to lead MEK & replace the Rajavies rather than leading the greatest country in the world! Without a teleprompter, he gets his foot in his mouth like the Cambridge police department Incident: http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/22/harvard.gates.interview/index.html

His US birth certificate is very questionable, and his priest Jeremiah Wright
is a hate monger! His priest hates everyone in the world, Jews, whites, you name it.
Obama’s father was a Muslim & so was his step father. He went to an Islamic elementary
school in Indonesia.

"The real question Americans are asking is, 'What has President Obama actually accomplished?'" It is unfortunate that the president's star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain -- President Obama won't be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action.

George Bush liberates 50 million Muslims, Ronald Reagan liberates hundreds of millions of Europeans, saves parts of Latin America. Any awards? No, just derision. Obama gives speeches trashing his own country -- and he gets a prize for it.

The Nobel Peace Prize just told Obama, Look, we love what you're doing; you are destroying your country as a superpower. Keep it up, bud! This is what we expected, and you're doing a damn good job. Those are accomplishments, folks, and in the eyes of the Nobel Peace Prize committee, these are the accomplishments they're looking for. He's basically emasculating this country, and they applauded today with this award. They love a weakened, neutered United States, and this is their way of promoting the concept and this slam-dunk.

Egyptian democracy and human rights activist said he was "shocked" Obama won.
"He has achieved nothing. He's stumbling. He hasn't achieved any of his promises and nothing is working. He promised to close Guantanamo and now that's not going to happen, and the Arab-Israeli conflict looks like it's going to get very nasty."

Gideon Rachman, a foreign affairs columnist for The Financial Times, wrote an online blog under the headline "What did Obama do to win the Nobel Peace Prize?
I am a genuine admirer of Obama. And I am very pleased that George W. Bush is no longer president. But I doubt that I am alone in wondering whether this award is slightly premature. It is hard to point to a single place where Obama's efforts have actually brought about peace -- Gaza, Iran, Sri Lanka?

Obama has done nothing to dismantle the sprawling network of well over 700 U.S. military bases all over the world. He is appeasing Iranian Mullahs rather than taking side
With Iranian people like the beloved President Bush!

"I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota," wrote Erick Erickson, of the site RedState.com, "but that is the only thing I can think of for this news."

2005 - International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) & Mohamed ElBaradei

JAN VANDE PUTTE: We’re really shocked, because the atomic agency has been responsible for over 50 years to promote the spread of nuclear technology. And this is the cause of the spread of nuclear weapons. Every country with a nuclear reactor has enough plutonium every year to produce about 30 nuclear weapons. So there is a direct link between nuclear power and nuclear bombs.

AMY GOODMAN: But not everyone has come in support of ElBaradei and the International Atomic Energy Agency. A number of environmental groups and activists are criticizing the Nobel Peace Prize committee for their selection. The French group, Sortir de Nucleaire, or Get Out of Nuclear, criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency for what they called “promoting” civilian nuclear plants. Meanwhile, Greenpeace was also critical of the selection.

When you stop to consider that all the new nuclear states or attempted nuclear states have achieved their nuclear status by transforming their civil nuclear programs into military nuclear programs, you realize that with the one hand, he has been quite effectively trying to prevent proliferation, and on the other hand, he’s been even more effectively helping proliferation. And the fact that he has never publicly stood up and said there is a real problem with this role, there is a fundamental contradiction in the mandate of the IAEA and a fundamental contradiction in the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, means that he has unfortunately done more harm than good during his tenure. We all know that may be
because of him being a Muslim, he did not do a damn thing to stop the mad Iranian mullahs from getting nuclear weapon capabilities!
I know for fact that Iran possesses around 30 nuclear warheads purchased from Ukraine in the 90s, the US & western intelligence agencies know this and are covering it up. As a matter of fact I treated a tortured MEK member who had been tortured in Iran with sever disabling injuries that delivered the pictures of these nuclear weapons to the US consulate in Istanbul. The problem is that as of yet Iran lacks the missile technology to deliver the warheads. Mohamed ElBaradei was as useless as a dead door nail!

2003- Shirin Ebadi

Up until recently she was an apologist for the reformist regime and now caught in the struggle between the conservative & “reformist” mullahs’ conflict (The WAR of Wolfs). Her background & of her husbands is linked to Tudeh Party (an old traitor Iranian communist party in service of the Soviet Union)
I wrote the following comments on her in my weblog in 2006:

Ask the NOBEL WITCH: Are you a Moslem woman?????

Watch this video on the URL below and ask the NOBEL WITCH did any of these atrocities did not meet her criteria for commenting?http://www.apostatesofislam.com/media/stoning.htm#video Shirin Ebadi, are you a Moslem woman????Is what is done in Iran under Islam according to shari’ law? If no why you don’t defend these victims? You are a so-called lawyer and human rights activists!If the true Islam commits these crimes and atrocities you don’t condemn it as a former judge and human rights activist?Instead of addressing the horrific crimes you criticize US and the Guantanamo Bay situation?Isalam has no conflict with Democray? Then why your prisons are overflowing with dissidents and the cemeteries are running out of space?Instead of babbling “While Khatami proposed people-to-people dialogue between Americans and Iranians, Washington chose to block Iranian scholars, artists and authors from visiting the U.S. Although Khatami helped the U.S. in Afghanistan, President Bush designated Iran a member of the "axis of evil." Did you comment on the poor women being stoned in this video? How about the summer of 1988 when IRI massacred more than 30000 Iranian in a matter of days?The NOBEL WITCH Instead of defending human rights and campaigning to stop child execution in Iran, this so-called lawyer defends the IRI terrorist regime’s quest for obtaining weapons of mass destruction.

She is & was totally useless!

2002- Jimmy Carter

Jimmy the teeth’s role in Islamofascism

Jimmy Carter was one of the worst Presidents the United States ever had. Maybe THE worst. His actions allowed the rise of radical Islam to begin. The snowball effect of that radical Islam was shown on September 11, 2001.

Events in the last 10 years, however, and knowledge of events of the 1980's have shown Jimmy Carter to be a dishonorable man. In fact, if the accounts are correct, Jimmy Carter is a traitor.

Jimmy Carter has also made disparaging comments about our past President, George Bush for Bush's efforts to stop terrorism & trying to undo his evil acts.

Jimmy Carter must make such statements, because if the truth be told, the origin of terrorism worldwide was the fall of Iran, and that fall was hastened due to Jimmy Carter's direct actions and lack of action.

“I did not know it then – perhaps I did not want to know – but it is clear to me now that the Americans wanted me out. Clearly this is what the human rights advocates in the State Department wanted … What was I to make of the Administration’s sudden decision to call former Under Secretary of State George Ball to the White House as an adviser on Iran? Ball was among those Americans who wanted to abandon me and ultimately my country.” – Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran

In November 1978 then President Carter nominated George Ball as a member of the Trilateral Commission. The commission acted under the direct control of the National Security Council’s Zbigniew Brzezinski, an ardent opponent of the Shah of Iran. This commission cultivated a clandestine Iran task force. While serving on this commission, George Ball championed cessation of United States support for the Shah and clandestine support for Rubhullah Ayatollah Khomeini who, albeit in exile, led a proletariat Islamic opposition. Pursuant to this agenda George Ball sought to garner the support of Robert Bowie, who was at that time the Deputy Director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency

Perhaps the revolution and subsequent consequences would have never occurred if the Carter Administration had not taken the helm. No doubt, neither President Richard M. Nixon nor President Ronald Reagan would have paved the way for the arrival of the current theocracy. Criticizing the Carter Administration’s handling of the crises in Iran, President Reagan said “I did criticize the President because of his undermining of our stalwart ally, the Shah, I do not believe that he was that far out of line with his people.”

In September 2007, US News & World Report stated: “Amid deepening frustration with Iran, calls for shifting Bush administration policy toward military strikes or other stronger actions are intensifying.” And in June 2008, President-to-be Barack Obama declared: “The danger from Iran is grave, it is real, and my goal will be to eliminate this threat.”However, suppose a progressive, pro-Western regime ruled Iran, representing no threat? War discussions would be unnecessary. Yet many forget that, until 30 years ago, exactly such a regime led Iran, until it was toppled with the help of the same U.S. foreign policy establishment recently beating war drums.

According to Peter Schweizer, the author of the best-selling book 'Reagan's War', Jimmy Carter sought the assistance of the Soviet Union to undermine the 1976 reelection bid of Gerald Ford, as well as Ronald Reagan's 1980 Presidential campaign. These allegations are based upon accounts provided by former Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin and former First Deputy Foreign Minister Georgii Kornienko.

It is reported that former Soviet Ambassador Averell Harriman met with Kornienko in September of 1976 on behalf of (then candidate) Carter and "gave assurances that if elected president, he (Carter) would take steps toward the rapid conclusion and signing of the SALT II Treaty, and would be ready to continue negotiations on an agreement on substantial reductions in strategic weapons".

Schweizer describes how Carter, during his 1980 reelection campaign, "dispatched [pro-Soviet industrialist] Armand Hammer to the Soviet Embassy for a secret meeting with Ambassador Dobrynin to ask for Soviet help" with issues which would assist him in being reelected, such as Jewish emigration, and promised the Soviets that their help would not be forgotten.

In 1984, (former President) Carter is said to have visited Dobrynin personally, seeking assistance in improving the election prospects of his former Vice President Walter Mondale, and warning the Ambassador that if Reagan was reelected, no arms agreements would ever be reached between the U.S. and the USSR.

Carter was a Traitor!

1994- Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin
1978-Mohamed Anwar al-Sadat and Menachem Begin

Anwar al-Sadat was an honorable man & the third President of Egypt, serving from 15 October 1970 until his assassination on 6 October 1981. He was a senior member of the Free Officers group that overthrew the Muhammad Ali Dynasty in the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, and a close confidant of Gamal Abdel Nasser, whom he succeeded as President in 1970. In his eleven years as president he changed Egypt's direction, departing from some of the economic and political principles of Nasserism by reinstituting the multi-party system and launching the Infitah. His leadership in the October War of 1973 and the regaining of Sinai made him an Egyptian hero. His visit to Israel and the eventual Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty won him the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience award posthumously, but was an act enormously unpopular with the Arab world and Islamists, and resulted in Egypt being expelled from the Arab League.

Yasser Arafat

In Cairo, before he was seventeen Arafat was smuggling arms to Palestine to be used against the British and the Jews. At nineteen, during the war between the Jews and the Arab states, Arafat left his studies at the University of Faud I (later Cairo University) to fight against the Jews in the Gaza area. The defeat of the Arabs and the establishment of the state of Israel left him in such despair that he applied for a visa to study at the University of Texas. Recovering his spirits and retaining his dream of an independent Palestinian homeland, he returned to Faud University to major in engineering but spent most of his time as leader of the Palestinian students.

Arafat developed the PLO into a state within the state of Jordan with its own military forces. King Hussein of Jordan, disturbed by its guerrilla attacks on Israel and other violent methods, eventually expelled the PLO from his country. Arafat sought to build a similar organisation in Lebanon, but this time was driven out by an Israeli military invasion. He kept the organization alive, however, by moving its headquarters to Tunis. He was a survivor himself, escaping death in an airplane crash, surviving any assassination attempts by Israeli intelligence agencies, and recovering from a serious stroke.

The prospects for a peace agreement with Israel now brightened. After a setback when the PLO supported Iraq in the Persian Gulf War of 1991, the peace process began in earnest, leading to the Oslo Accords of 1993.
This agreement included provision for the Palestinian elections which took place in early 1996, and Arafat was elected President of the Palestine Authority. Like other Arab regimes in the area, however, Arafat's governing style tended to be more dictatorial than democratic. When the right-wing government of Benjamin Netanyahu came to power in Israel in 1996, the peace process slowed down considerably.

Arafat eventually died in a Paris hospital after being airlifted out of Ramallah. Many speculated that the Palestinian leader, who was said to have had numerous homosexual relationships, had in fact contracted AIDS.

Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin , and Menachem Begin all 3 were terrorists in some point in their lifetime. The 3 Israelis being a member of jewish underground militias, primarily the Haganah ("The Defense"),) In the immediate aftermath of the United Nations' approval of the Partition plan, violence broke out and became more prevalent. Murders, reprisals, and counter-reprisals came one after the other, killing dozens of victims on both sides in the process.The Israelis started as a terrorist organization, just like PLO before backcombing a state

Shimon Peres

In 1947, after having been conscripted by David Ben-Gurion and Levi Eshkol to the Haganah Defense Forces, Shimon Peres was assigned responsibility for manpower and arms, an activity which he continued during the early part of Israel's War of Independence.

Yitzhak Rabin

Yitzhak Rabin’s military career began in 1940 when he joined the "Palmach", the elite unit of the Haganah. During the War of Independence (1948-1949), he commanded the Harel Brigade, deployed on the Jerusalem front.

Menachem Begin

Before the independence, he was the leader of the Irgun, a revisionist breakaway from the larger mainstream Jewish paramilitary organization Haganah. He proclaimed a revolt, on February 1, 1944, against the British mandatory government, which was opposed by the Jewish Agency. He played a significant role in Jewish resistance against the British control in the waning years of the mandate, leading the more militant Zionists.

Open Letter to all Iranians

Why all the Republics area failing in Middle East?

Before starting our discussions, please watch this video:عبدالله: دولت باید شرط های من را بپذیردhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/afghanistan/2009/10/091028_og_video_abdullah_iv.shtml

Why all the republics area failing in Middle East?
All republics in Mideast are dictatorships and almost all behave in a monarchy model; son replacing father, for example Azerbaijan, Syria, Sadam Hossein’s Iraq,Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, Mojtaba’s planning to replace Ali Khamenei , Muammar Gaddafi's son Seif al-Islam who will be replacing his father after his death, ETC

Look at what happened to all countries in the region who have overthrown their king; Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Former Soviet Union etc. They all ended in worst dictatorships, war, poverty & misery!

Why can’t we have a parliamentary democratic monarchy like the western European Countries or a true democratic republic in Iran? To be truthful with you, I don’t think you know what democracy is! The younger generation has been brain washed by IRI & the older oneswho participated in the Islamic Revolution were either idiots, fanatics or traitors working on behave of the soviets or western imperialists! Look at what you have done to yourselves in Iran by revolting and how your actions affected us outside of Iran. Millions of lives wasted in exile! We know how miserable you are, but do you know what you have done to our lives?Imagine if all of us in exile could return home what a supersonic leap the country could take in progress;using our wealth, education, western experiences, intelligence, knowhow, and etc?People in my age group & younger are all burned generations, you; the younger ones want to be like us or have a brighter future?You need to work with us in exile, we may be abroad, but our roots are there! We will never submit to a non-secular regime.
IRI is incapable of reform am; first we need a referendum for the future typeof government only after and must be overthrown in its entirety! I am obviously a Democratic Royalist & think that is the best system of governmentfor our heritage & culture;
but if one would suggest that for USA, I would probably die from laughing!

Truthfully the type of government is not what is important, what is important is the content, the constitution that is the supreme law of the land &no one is above the law including the King, the President or the Prime minister. A government of the people for the people! So how are we going to do this?
Are we going to replace the worst with the bad? Not me my friends. In my eyes Mossavi, Kahrobi, & Rafsanjani are all thieves & murders!
Are we following a cult (MEK) that spied for the soviets, brought Khomeini to power, fought shoulder to shoulder with Sadam’s soldiers against us?
The one’s who spy for the west, kill & torture their members for disagreement & insubordination?

Are we going to follow Marxist-Leninist who promote proletarian dictatorship, spied for the soviets, and brought Khomeini to power, a system that has failed worldwide? A system like Cuba with massive poverty, or china that the only part of its communism remaining is the dictatorship & now is so capitalistic that its new billionaire’s are buying the Europe and America put together or would you like to die of starvation like the North Koreanswhile its Southern part is flourishing more & more on daily basis?

What about Jebhe Meli who sold out Prime Minister Shahpor Bakhtiar (one of their own leader)
to Khomeini, Karim Sanjabi went to France to kiss Ayatosheytan Khomeini’s hands for a few cabinet posts that lasted only few months? Look at what happened to Bazargan, & Forouhars who were cut into pieces by the IRI serial killings!

Karim Sanjabi was the biggest traitor of them all: As the leader of the National Front during the revolutionary uprising of 1978-1979, Sanjabi and his colleagues initially wished to negotiate a peaceful solution with the Shah. However, in November 1978, he met as representative of the National Front with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in France. Khomeini at the time was extremely popular amongst the religious masses, and Sanjabi emerged from his meeting "with a short declaration that spoke of both Islam and democracy as basic principles," and Sanjabi declared his support for Khomeini. Unfortunately for this agreement, after the overthrow of the monarchy on February 11, 1979, Khomeini "explicitly refused to put the same word, democracy, into either the title of the Republic or its constitution." Sanjabi served as the foreign minister of the new Islamic Republic for a brief period until April 1979. After this, he became an opponent of Khomeini's regime and he fled Iran in 1982. He died in 1995.

Mosadegh was a nationalist, good or bad he is dead & gone as is Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. Up until Mosadegh’s coup d'état against the Shah, the king was more democratic than western leaders. Mosadegh’s actions had emboldened the Tudeh party to take the country to the brink of collapse into the soviet hands. When Azerbaijan was liberated from Pishehvari’s clan (Tudeh Party) the Azaris massacred the reaming Tudehies that were not lucky enough like their leaders, escaping into the Soviet Union. People avenged them due to the horrible atrocities that communist had subjected them to. After world war two, we had a cold war, East vs. the West, goodness vs. Evil, there was no other camp! The occupation of Azerbaijan was done with military aid of Soviets’ military. Following an agreement reached between the governments of Iran and the USSR under intense American pressure, who viewed Pishevari's government as a not-too-subtle scheme by the USSR to partition Iran, Soviets removed their protection. Iranian armed forces, kept away from the provinces of Azerbaijan and Kurdistan by the Red Army presence since 1942, entered these provinces in November 1946. Some say that U.S. President Harry S. Truman had threatened the soviets with nuclear bombardment if soviets did not leave Iran; at that time the United States was the only country who possessed nuclear weapons.

Now that you understand the political atmosphere of the cold war era, we get back to the Mosadegh’s story. Due to political instability brought on by the Tudeh party whom by the way were divided into two camps, one group under the British influence (fake communists used by the English to prevent nationalization of our oil) and the other under Soviet Union to add Iran to the Iron curtain territory . Their common goal was destabilization of Iran. Mosadegh was an exocentric, stubborn, and a hypochondriac man(according to the CIA declassified documents i.e. psychological profile);he was loosing control & putting Iran in a Chaotic Descent mode . The Americans were initially pro- Mosadegh, however destabilization, increasing Soviet threat and British influence convinced the Americans that he was not fit to lead & pressured the Shah to dismiss him. It was within Shah’s constitutional rights as a monarch to appoint or dismiss a prime minister. The Shah decided to fire him. Instead Mosadegh arrested the person who presented him with the king’s decree for him to step down. Prior to that Mosadegh had gone as far as deporting Shah’s sister from Iran. Imagine that a prime minister deporting an Iranian from her own country, none the less being a member of the Royal Family. Mosadegh was not only out of line, but he refused to obey the Iranian constitution and send troops to arrest the King vacationing in northern Iran. In fact it was Mosadegh who initiated a coup d'état against the Shah. Hearing the news , Shah fled the country via Iraq to Rome. The CIA organized a countercoup to return the Shah to his thrown. Once again very little money was spent and according to the declassified US government documents; their CIA operatives were un successful until the people came to the scene and tipped the power struggle in favor of the Shah. People surrounded the Mosadegh’s home & his body guards opening fire on the people massacring numerous victims. At this point the Iranian army although divided initially like the people got involved, attacked the military guards of Mosadegh by tanks forcing Mosadegh & his followers to flee, later on arrested & convicted to home arrest in his estate in Ahmadabad.

I do not need to speak about mullahs, everyone knows of their brutal crimes, stealing and murderous acts!

So, who is the alternative? Are we waiting for CIA & MI6 to pull some one out of hat to lead us again?

Recently the news broke out in USA that Hamid Karzai & his brothers were under CIA payroll, who was he, that all of sudden became Afghanistan’s president? During the Bonn Conference in Germany, on December 5, 2001, Karzai was selected by prominent Afghan political figures to serve a six months term as Chairman of the Transitional Administration. He was then chosen for a two years term as the Interim President during the 2002. After the 2004 presidential election, Karzai won majority of the votes and became President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. He is currently participating in a runoff voting to decide the result of the 2009 fraudulent presidential election. How can you get rid of the Taliban & then create the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan? Karzai's family was strong supporters of the former Afghan King, Zahir Shah. His father, Abdul Ahad Karzai, served as the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament during the 1960s. Karzai is is often seen wearing a Karakul hat, something that has been worn by many Afghan kings in the past. Karzai lived in exile in Quetta, Pakistan, where he worked to reinstate the former Afghan king, Zahir Shah. His father, Abdul Ahad Karzai, was assassinated, presumably by Taliban agents yet recently stated that "there were many wonderful people in the Taliban. What has happened to his loyalty to the king? Afghanistan is severely infested with corruption. Hamid Karzai’s younger brother, Ahmed Wali Karzai – who partially helped finance Karzai's presidential campaign – was rumored to be involved in narcotic deals, Opium is the main source of income to finance Taliban’s Terrorist activity & is transited through Iran by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards for both domestic use & export to Europe. Lately the Revolutionary Guard Corps has a exchange program with the Columbian drug cartels exchanging opium & heroin for crack cocaine, hence more abundance of drugs & addiction among Iranian youth, making them useless!

In a 2008 interview, Karzai expressed his feelings towards the United States by stating: "If I am called a puppet because we are grateful to America, then let that be my nickname." Although many in United States charge that Iran is meddling in Afghanistan's affairs, Karzai insists that Iran is a friend of Afghanistan despite Iranian-made arms being found in his country. In 2007 Karzai contradicted US assessments on Iran's role in Afghanistan by saying that Iran has been a helper in the reconstruction process.

So why Abdullah Abdullah, MD become the interim leader & or by fraud loose the presidential election against Hamid Karzai?
He is a medical doctor (an ophthalmologist), his father, Ghullam Muhayuddin Khan, was from the Kandahar region, and was a high ranking government official who had risen through the ranks. In 1986 Abdullah became a close associate and advisor to Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud in the Soviet war in Afghanistan . In 1995 Abdullah became the Spokesperson for the Islamic State of Afghanistan. Following the capture of Kabul by the Taliban in 1996, the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan (also known as the Northern Alliance) was created. Abdullah became the group's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in September 1997. In 1995 Abdullah became the Spokesperson for the Islamic State of Afghanistan. Following the capture of Kabul by the Taliban in 1996, the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan (also known as the Northern Alliance) was created. Abdullah became the group's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in September 1997. As a result of Bonn conference on Afghanistan, Abdullah was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Interim Administration in December 2001. On June 11, 2002, there was an emergency loya jirga, held on the grounds of Kabul Polytechnic. As a result, Abdullah was reconfirmed as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan. Following the 2004 Afghanistan Presidential Elections, Abdullah was one of the few people who kept their position from the Transitional Government and was re-appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Dr. Abdullah fought the soviets & the Talibans shoulder to shoulder with Ahmad Shah Massoud, a nationalist hero, yet a pro- Zahir Shah associate betrays his king & becomes the president!

Why is it that in our region only CIA & MI6 operatives become the nation’s leaders?

Given our culture, heritage & god’s gift of intelligence & higher IQs, We should have been and will become the most advanced nation in the Middle East again!
Why have we become so corrupted with drugs, prostitution theft & bribery? Evilness has become our way of life!

Our problems are our arrogance, indifference to issues & not becoming team players. Why we are not united?
Why almost always we are the silent majority? Why are we so jealous of other’s success that instead of encouragement,we disappoint the successful one? We used be lion hearted!
Remember how we used to rule the world in the ancient times?

The way out of this vicious cycle is to first do a self criticism, correct our mistakes, attitudes & mindset.

All said & done, now we need a leader, a leader who has no blood in his hand, is morally acceptable and not corrupted.
A leader that is committed and ready to put his life on the line. A Leader who lives out side of Iran, hence untouchable by the Mullahs.
The leader should be free of need from foreign governments & intelligence agencies, even better if he has no foreign support since the package comes with treason to his/her country & usually nationalist come that way! Remember; we the people and our will is stronger
than any superpower in the world! We don’t want the superpowers support or influence! To hell with them all, their prosperity comes with the price of our misery!

Let the OUBAAMAANIST ;Affirmative Action president cut the Iranian democracy fund created by President Bush!
Tell him that his Democratic Party comember; the redneck peanut farmer has stolen billions of dollars from Iranian assets deposited in USA during the shah. We want our money back to fight & get rid of the Iranian Mullah monster created by the god damn democ-RATS !


In my opinion Mr. Reza Pahlavi is our only viable option & alternative

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vYq2AUqd28

Some of you say that Reza Pahlavi is not charismatic enough to lead; I am asking you between RP & current Iran’s leaders such as Ali Khamenei, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Khomeini, Rafsanjani and ETC; who has more charisma? Who would you prefer to represent Iran?
Some of you ask why he has not done anything. How could he? Empty handed without your support? However I think that he is partially at fault!

My Comments & Expectations From Reza Pahlavi:

What I would like to know is; are you planning to continue to do what you have been doing; until the movement is totally run to the ground and dismantled?If not, I urgently recommend that you invite some of your supporters who are well versed in political planning and related topics to form a think tank assisting you in creating more effective plans and portray a better image of RP in public.

We need to have a large number of people rally behind RP inside of Iran as well as in exile. To achieve this task, RP will need all the help he can get from his supporters at these critical times.

We understand that RP has top notch people assisting him. They have impressive degrees from well established European centers of higher learning.

However, as you see, it is not working! They are out of touch with everyday common and ordinary Iranians. Their intellectual awareness may be high. But, they are out of touch with the people inside of Iran. These advisors have no real plan of action in the most critical time as we are entering. “I am an ordinary citizen” slogan does not cut it any more. It is do or die at this turning point of our country!

If our movement fails, no one will see it as the fault of RP advisors, planners and aids. It will all reflect directly on RP himself and his lack of leadership.

If you do not have the resources we (your supporters) will all pledge volunteering for intellectual work, physical labor and fund raising.

You should declare to all nations that any deals and contracts made with IRI (Islamic Republic of Iran) by any entity are null and void. The IRI does not represent Iranians. You should strongly consider forming a government in exile & declare yourself as the interim leader of the revolution. Khomeini did this in Iran while yourFather’s Prime Minister Dr Shapour Bakhtiar was still in power. We the Iranians do not need another ordinary civilian & activist, there are millions of us; we need a leader!

In any event, I see it as my duty to go on the record and point out the downfall's of the current planning' and procedures.

We ask for nothing and are ready to do anything humanly possible to turn the tide around. However, we need open minds to sit and discuss the relating issues.

My Comments & Expectations From the International Community:

Iran remains the world’s number one despotic regimein the world which is second to none for its track record of human rights violations, dictatorship and state sponsorship of terrorism.

The measures that we recommend and strongly advocate are as follows:
* Stop, with immediate effect, all international trades with the undemocratic Islamic “Republic” of Iran.
*Stop the purchase of oil from Iran and refrain from signing any new contracts and renewal of any existing ones.
* Blockade Iran’s ports in the Persian Gulf and possibly the Caspian Sea allowing passage of food and medicine.
*Stop all IRI satellite TV and Radio programming to the outside world.* Cease all Mullahs personal assets outside Iran including its support organization such as Alavi Foundation in New York City.* Freeze IRI assets outside of Iran and impose prohibition on investment, a travel ban, and asset freezes for government leaders and nuclear scientists..
* Publicly identify known IRI agents, arrest and prosecute their agents abroad as promoters of international terrorism and abusers of human rights.
* Shut down all illegal unregistered agent organizations representing IRI interests, their lobbyist and apologists.
* Close or limit Islamic Republic’s embassies and its activities including travel limits on Iranian diplomats.
* Release the frozen assets of Iran to the IRI opposition to be spent on strike funds and promotion of democracy.
* Expel IRI representatives from UN since the IRI constitution is contrary to the UDHR (Universal Declarations of Human Rights).

Like it or not, Reza Pahlavi is the only one who has the name recognition and 2500 years of heritage behind him. He could unite us, Think about it!
For the younger Iranian generation who has grown up under censorship & constant brainwashing by the mullah regime (who have no idea about Iran’s past or contemporary history) I have gathered the Historical review of the 1979 Iranian Revolution in my weblog
I hope, it will be both informative and Educational!

We shall prevail

God Bless!

U.S. policies led to Iran revolt, study saysA report based on declassified documents suggests that the Nixon and Ford administrations, angry with the shah for his support for raising oil prices, worked to curb his ambitions.

By Borzou Daragahi, Los Angeles Times Staff WriterOctober 17, 2008

BEIRUT — A new report based on previously classified documents suggests that the Nixon and Ford administrations created conditions that helped destabilize Iran in the late 1970s and contributed to the country's Islamic Revolution.
A trove of transcripts, memos and other correspondence show sharp differences over rising oil prices developing between the Republican administrations and Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi in the mid-1970s, says a report to be published today in the fall issue of Middle East Journal, an academic journal published by the Washington-based Middle East Institute, a think tank.
The report, after two years of research by scholar Andrew Scott Cooper, zeros in on the role of White House policymakers -- including Donald H. Rumsfeld, then a top aide to President Ford -- hoping to roll back oil prices and curb the shah's ambitions, despite warnings by then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that such a move might precipitate the rise of a "radical regime" in Iran.
"The shah is a tough, mean guy. But he is our real friend," Kissinger warned Ford, who was considering options to press the monarch into lowering oil prices, in an August 1974 conversation cited by the report. "We can't tackle him without breaking him."
Analysts and historians often contend that President Carter, a Democrat, fumbled Iran, allowing the country to eventually become one of the chief U.S. opponents in the region. But the report suggests that his Republican predecessors not only contributed to the shah's fall but also were inching toward a realignment with Saudi Arabia as the key U.S. ally in the Persian Gulf.

The examination of pre- revolutionary Iran has special relevance today. Cooper said Iran's economic situation just before the revolution resembled its current state, this time with big-spending President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad banking on high oil prices to sustain his power.
"Ahmadinejad's fiscal recklessness is eerily reminiscent of the shah's, with Iran's inflation rate running at approximately 30% and Iran's current deficit approximately $12 billion -- not to mention widespread underemployment and unemployment," Cooper said in an e-mail.
The report, based mostly on documents stored at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library in Ann Arbor, Mich., opens a window on an unruly period more than 30 years ago that precipitated Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, which established a template for religiously inspired Muslim movements throughout the Middle East. As high oil prices in the early 1970s began strangling the U.S. economy, Washington began to sour on Iran, the documents suggest. After an oil embargo over American support of Israel ended in March 1974, U.S. officials considered the shah the principal culprit in keeping oil prices from falling and wanted him to put on the brakes. At one point, Rumsfeld, who later served as the current President Bush's Defense secretary, warned Iran's chief arms procurement official that Tehran was losing friends in Washington.
"Don't try to get around me," he reportedly told Gen. Hassan Toufanian, in an encounter described by the Washington Post three decades ago and cited in the report. "Remember, Kissinger and I have to approve all [arms] exports."Chief among those advocating pressure on Iran was William Simon, who served as Treasury secretary and energy czar under the Nixon and Ford administrations. He blamed the shah for high oil prices and wanted the U.S. to use weapons sales to Tehran as leverage. "He is the ringleader on oil prices, together with Venezuela," Simon told President Nixon in July 1974, referring to the Iranian ruler. "Is it possible to put pressure on the shah?"
Over the years, Kissinger advocated a friendlier line on Iran and the shah, who had been brought back to power by a U.S.-engineered coup in 1953. The report suggests that Kissinger had special insights into the country's instability. At the time, university campuses in Iran were in turmoil, and guerrillas were attacking U.S. facilities and assassinating key officials. Even in 1974, a CIA analysis sounded the alarm, saying the shah's ambitious buildup of the country was causing economic polarization and cultural clashes that were roiling Iran.
By late 1976 the shah was in deep financial trouble, facing a huge cash crunch. He wanted the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries oil cartel, or OPEC, to raise oil prices by 25%, a move the U.S. opposed.
"There is unanimity among my advisors that the world economy health is not good," Ford told Iranian Ambassador Ardeshir Zahedi in December 1976, according to the archives. "Any increase in the price of oil would have a serious impact on the world financial structure."
But U.S. officials, especially Simon, had been working with Saudi officials behind the shah's back to seek help on oil prices in exchange for political and military support for the Arab kingdom. The Saudis stunned OPEC members by announcing at a December summit in Doha, Qatar, that they would increase production to 11.6 million barrels a day from 8.6 million barrels, driving down prices.
We should get credit for what happened at OPEC," Kissinger told Ford. "I have said all along the Saudis were the key. . . . Our great diplomacy is what did it."But it would prove to be a Pyrrhic victory in terms of one American ally. Iran was cash-strapped, having spent much of its reserves on American weapons and the shah's Great Civilization programs, which spurred inflation by flooding the country with money.
The shah was broke. Declining oil revenue amid continued inflation forced him to abandon ambitious plans to modernize his country.
"The collapse of the Doha summit, and the Saudi decision to undercut the price of crude and boost its output to try to flood the market, rushed the Iranian economy to the precipice," Cooper writes in his report.
The shah's government, shaken by the loss of oil revenue, imposed a harsh austerity budget that threw thousands out of work, collapsed investor confidence and panicked middle-class Iranians. Economic chaos and unemployment quickly spread.
Within a year of the Doha summit, the first mass demonstrations that grew into revolution broke out on the streets of the Iranian capital.

Jimmy the teeth’s role in Islamofascism

Jimmy the teeth’s role in Islamofascism

Jimmy Carter was one of the worst Presidents the United States ever had. Maybe THE worst. His actions allowed the rise of radical Islam to begin. The snowball effect of that radical Islam was shown on September 11, 2001.

Events in the last 10 years, however, and knowledge of events of the 1980's have shown Jimmy Carter to be a dishonorable man. In fact, if the accounts are correct, Jimmy Carter is a traitor.

Jimmy Carter has also made disparaging comments about our past President, George Bush for Bush's efforts to stop terrorism & trying to undo his evil acts. Jimmy Carter must make such statements, because if the truth be told, the origin of terrorism worldwide was the fall of Iran, and that fall was hastened due to Jimmy Carter's direct actions and lack of action.

“I did not know it then – perhaps I did not want to know – but it is clear to me now that the Americans wanted me out. Clearly this is what the human rights advocates in the State Department wanted … What was I to make of the Administration’s sudden decision to call former Under Secretary of State George Ball to the White House as an adviser on Iran? Ball was among those Americans who wanted to abandon me and ultimately my country.” – Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran

In November 1978 then President Carter nominated George Ball as a member of the Trilateral Commission. The commission acted under the direct control of the National Security Council’s Zbigniew Brzezinski, an ardent opponent of the Shah of Iran. This commission cultivated a clandestine Iran task force. While serving on this commission, George Ball championed cessation of United States support for the Shah and clandestine support for Rubhullah Ayatollah Khomeini who, albeit in exile, led a proletariat Islamic opposition. Pursuant to this agenda George Ball sought to garner the support of Robert Bowie, who was at that time the Deputy Director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency.

Perhaps the revolution and subsequent consequences would have never occurred if the Carter Administration had not taken the helm. No doubt, neither President Richard M. Nixon nor President Ronald Reagan would have paved the way for the arrival of the current theocracy. Criticizing the Carter Administration’s handling of the crises in Iran, President Reagan said “I did criticize the President because of his undermining of our stalwart ally, the Shah, I do not believe that he was that far out of line with his people.”

In September 2007, US News & World Report stated: “Amid deepening frustration with Iran, calls for shifting Bush administration policy toward military strikes or other stronger actions are intensifying.” And in June 2008, President-to-be Barack Obama declared: “The danger from Iran is grave, it is real, and my goal will be to eliminate this threat.”However, suppose a progressive, pro-Western regime ruled Iran, representing no threat? War discussions would be unnecessary. Yet many forget that, until 30 years ago, exactly such a regime led Iran, until it was toppled with the help of the same U.S. foreign policy establishment recently beating war drums.

Meet the Shah:

From 1941 until 1979, Iran was ruled by a constitutional monarchy under Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Iran’s Shah (king).

Although Iran, also called Persia, was the world’s oldest empire, dating back 2,500 years, by 1900 it was floundering. Bandits dominated the land; literacy was one percent; and women, under archaic Islamic dictates, had no rights.

The Shah changed all this. Primarily by using oil-generated wealth, he modernized the nation. He built rural roads, postal services, libraries, and electrical installations. He constructed dams to irrigate Iran’s arid land, making the country 90-percent self-sufficient in food production. He established colleges and universities, and at his own expense, set up an educational foundation to train students for Iran’s future.

To encourage independent cultivation, the Shah donated 500,000 Crown acres to 25,000 farmers. In 1978, his last full year in power, the average Iranian earned $2,540, compared to $160 ,25 years earlier. Iran had full employment, requiring foreign workers. The national currency was stable for 15 years, inspiring French economist André Piettre to call Iran a country of “growth without inflation.” Although Iran was the world’s second largest oil exporter, the Shah planned construction of 18 nuclear power plants. He built an Olympic sports complex and applied to host the 1988 Olympics (an honor eventually assigned Seoul), an achievement unthinkable for other Middle East nations.

Long regarded as a U.S. ally, the Shah was pro-Western and anti-communist, and he was aware that he posed the main barrier to Soviet ambitions in the Middle East. As distinguished foreign-affairs analyst Hilaire du Berrier noted: “He determined to make Iran … capable of blocking a Russian advance until the West should realize to what extent her own interests were threatened and come to his aid.... It necessitated an army of 250,000 men.” The Shah’s air force ranked among the world’s five best. A voice for stability within the Middle East itself, he favored peace with Israel and supplied the beleaguered state with oil.

On the home front, the Shah protected minorities and permitted non-Muslims to practice their faiths. “All faith,” he wrote, “imposes respect upon the beholder.” The Shah also brought Iran into the 20th century by granting women equal rights. This was not to accommodate feminism, but to end archaic brutalization.

Yet, at the height of Iran’s prosperity, the Shah suddenly became the target of an ignoble campaign led by U.S. and British foreign policy makers. Bolstered by slander in the Western press, these forces, along with Soviet-inspired communist insurgents, and mullahs opposing the Shah’s progressiveness, combined to face him with overwhelming opposition. In three years he went from vibrant monarch to exile (on January 16, 1979), and ultimately death, while Iran fell to Ayatollah Khomeini’s terror.

Houchang Nahavandi, one of the Shah’s ministers and closest advisers, reveals in his book The Last Shah of Iran: “We now know that the idea of deposing the Shah was broached continually, from the mid-seventies on, in the National Security Council in Washington, by Henry Kissinger, whom the Shah thought of as a firm friend.”

The alternation of parties does not change the diplomatic orientation of the United States that much. The process of toppling the Shah had been envisaged and initiated in 1974, under a certain Republican administration.... Numerous, published documents and studies bear witness to the fact, even if it was not until the beginning of the Carter administration that the decision was made to take concerted action by evoking problems related to human rights.

The Shah’s destruction required assembling a team of diplomatic “hit men.” Du Berrier commented:
When the situation was deemed ripe, U.S. Ambassador William Sullivan — the man reputed to have toppled the pro-American government of General Phoumi Nosavan in Laos — was sent to urge the Shah to get out. In December Mr. George Ball, an instant “authority on Iran,” was sent as a follow-up with the same message.Sullivan (CFR), a career diplomat with no Middle East experience, became our ambassador to Iran in 1977. The Shah recalled:Whenever I met Sullivan and asked him to confirm these official statements [of American support], he promised he would. But a day or two later he would return, gravely shake his head, and say that he had received “no instructions” and therefore could not comment.... His answer was always the same: I have received no instructions.... This rote answer had been given me since early September [1978] and I would continue to hear it until the day I left the country.

The other key player du Berrier named, George Ball, was a quintessential establishment man: CFR member, Bilderberger, and banker with Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb. The Shah commented: “What was I to make, for example, of the Administration’s sudden decision to call former Under Secretary of State George Ball to the White House as an advisor on Iran? I knew that Ball was no friend.”
George Ball — that guru of American diplomacy and prominento of certain think-tanks and pressure groups — once paid a long visit to Teheran, where, interestingly, the National Broadcasting Authority placed an office at his disposal. Once installed there, he played host to all the best-known dissidents and gave them encouragement. After he returned to Washington, he made public statements, hostile and insulting to the Sovereign. Joining the smear was U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy.

But we must not forget the venom with which Teddy Kennedy ranted against the Shah, nor that on December 7, 1977, the Kennedy family financed a so-called committee for the defense of liberties and rights of man in Teheran, which was nothing but a headquarters for revolution.
Suddenly, the Shah noted, the U.S. media found him “a despot, an oppressor, a tyrant.” Kennedy denounced him for running “one of the most violent regimes in the history of mankind.”

At the center of the “human rights” complaints was the Shah’s security force, SAVAK. Comparable in its mission to America’s FBI, SAVAK was engaged in a deadly struggle against terrorism, most of which was fueled by the bordering USSR, which linked to Iran’s internal communist party, the Tudeh. SAVAK, which had only 4,000 employees in 1978, saved many lives by averting several bombing attempts. Its prisons were open for Red Cross inspections, and though unsuccessful attempts were made on the Shah’s life, he always pardoned the would-be assassins. Nevertheless, a massive campaign was deployed against him. Within Iran, Islamic fundamentalists, who resented the Shah’s progressive pro-Western views, combined with Soviet-sponsored communists to overthrow the Shah. This tandem was “odd” because communism is committed to destroying all religion, which Marx called “the opiate of the masses.” The Shah understood that “Islamic Marxism” was an oxymoron, commenting: “Of course the two concepts are irreconcilable — unless those who profess Islam do not understand their own religion or pervert it for their own political ends.”

For Western TV cameras, protestors in Teheran carried empty coffins, or coffins seized from genuine funerals, proclaiming these were “victims of SAVAK.” This deception — later admitted by the revolutionaries — was necessary because they had no actual martyrs to parade. Another tactic: demonstrators splashed themselves with mercurochrome, claiming SAVAK had bloodied them.

The Western media cooperated. When Carter visited Iran at the end of 1977, the press reported that his departure to Teheran International Airport had been through empty streets, because the city was “all locked up and emptied of people, by order of the SAVAK.” What the media didn’t mention: Carter chose to depart at 6 a.m., when the streets were naturally empty.An equally vicious campaign occurred when the Shah and his wife, Empress Farah, came for a state visit to America in November 1977. While touring Williamsburg, Virginia, about 500 Iranian students showed up, enthusiastically applauding. However, about 50 protestors waved hammer-and-sickle red flags. These unlikely Iranians were masked, unable to speak Persian, and some were blonde. The U.S. media focused exclusively on the protesters. Wrote the Shah: “Imagine my amazement the next day when I saw the press had reversed the numbers and wrote that the fifty Shah supporters were lost in a hostile crowd.”

On November 16, the Shah and Empress were due to visit Carter. Several thousand Iranian patriots surrounded the White House bearing a huge banner saying “Welcome Shah.” However, The police kept them as far away as possible, but allowed a small number of opponents [again, masked] to approach the railings … close to where the Sovereign’s helicopter was going to land for the official welcome. At the exact moment, when courtesies were being exchanged on the White House lawn, these people produced sticks and bicycle chains and set upon the others.... Thus, the whole world was allowed to see riotous scenes, on television, as an accompaniment to the arrival of the Imperial Couple.

Terror at Home:

Two major events propelled the revolution in Iran. On the afternoon of August 19, 1978, a deliberate fire gutted the Rex Cinema in Abadan, killing 477 people, including many children with their mothers. Blocked exits prevented escape. The police learned that the fire was caused by Ruhollah Khomeini supporters, who fled to Iraq, where the ayatollah was in exile. But the international press blamed the fire on the Shah and his “dreaded SAVAK.” Furthermore, the mass murder had been timed to coincide with the Shah’s planned celebration of his mother’s birthday; it could thus be reported that the royal family danced while Iran wept. Communist-inspired rioting swept Iran.Foreigners, including Palestinians, appeared in the crowds. Although the media depicted demonstrations as “spontaneous uprisings,” professional revolutionaries organized them. Some Iranian students were caught up in it. Here the Shah’s generosity backfired. As du Berrier pointed out:

In his desperate need of men capable of handling the sophisticated equipment he was bringing in, the Shah had sent over a hundred thousand students abroad.... Those educated in France and America return indoctrinated by leftist professors and eager to serve as links between comrades abroad and the Communist Party at home.

When the demonstrations turned violent, the government reluctantly invoked martial law. The second dark day was September 8. Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Teheran were ordered to disperse by an army unit. Gunmen — many on rooftops — fired on the soldiers. The Shah’s army fired back. The rooftop snipers then sprayed the crowd. When the tragedy was over, 121 demonstrators and 70 soldiers and police lay dead. Autopsies revealed that most in the crowd had been killed by ammo non-regulation for the army. Nevertheless, the Western press claimed the Shah had massacred his own people.

The Shah, extremely grieved by this incident, and wanting no further bloodshed, gave orders tightly restricting the military. This proved a mistake. Until now, the sight of his elite troops had quieted mobs. The new restraints emboldened revolutionaries, who brazenly insulted soldiers, knowing they could fire only as a last resort.

Khomeini and the Media Cabal:

Meanwhile, internationalist forces rallied around a new figure they had chosen to lead Iran: Ruhollah Khomeini. A minor cleric of Indian extraction, Khomeini had denounced the Shah’s reforms during the 1960s — especially women’s rights and land reform for Muslim clerics, many of whom were large landholders. Because his incendiary remarks had contributed to violence and rioting then, he was exiled, living mostly in Iraq, where Iranians largely forgot him until 1978.

A shadowy past followed Khomeini. The 1960s rioting linked to him was financed, in part, by Eastern Bloc intelligence services. He was in the circle of the cleric Sayed Abolghassem Kachani , who had ties to East German intelligence. Furthermore, in 1960, Colonel Michael Goliniewski, second-in-command of Soviet counter-intelligence in Poland, defected to the West. His debriefings exposed so many communist agents that he was honored by a resolution of the U.S. House of Representatives. One report, declassified in 2000, revealed, “Ayatollah Khomeini was one of Moscow’s five sources of intelligence at the heart of the Shiite hierarchy.”

Nevertheless, as French journalist Dominique Lorenz reported, the Americans, “having picked Khomeini to overthrow the Shah, had to get him out of Iraq, clothe him with respectability and set him up in Paris, a succession of events, which could not have occurred, if the leadership in France had been against it.”

In 1978, Khomeini, in Iraq since 1965, was permitted to reside at Neauphle-le-Château in France. Two French police squads, along with Algerians and Palestinians, protected him.:

Around the small villa occupied by Khomeini, the agents of many of the world’s secret services were gathered as thickly as the autumn leaves. The CIA, the MI6, the KGB and the SDECE were all there. The CIA had even rented the house next door. According to most of the published witness-statements, the East Germans were in charge of most of the radio-transmissions; and, on at least one occasion, eight thousand cassettes of the Ayatollah’s speeches were sent, directly to Teheran, by diplomatic bag.

Foreign-affairs analyst du Berrier reported:

French services quickly verified that Libya, Iraq and Russia were providing money. Young Iranians, members of the Tudeh (communist) Party, made up Khomeini’s secretariat in France. Working in cooperation with the French Communist Party they provided couriers to pass his orders and tapes into Iran. Their sympathizers in Britain turned the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) into a propaganda organ.

Journalists descended in droves on Neauphle-le-Château; Khomeini gave 132 interviews in 112 days, receiving easy questions as their media organs became his sounding board. Nahavandi affirms that, within Iran “the Voice of America, the Voice of Israel and, especially, the BBC virtually became the voice of the revolution, moving from criticism, to overt incitement of revolt, and from biased reporting, to outright disinformation.”

Khomeini’s inflammatory speeches were broadcast; revolutionary songs aired on Iranian radio. One journalist, however, stunned Khomeini by bucking the trend: intelligence expert Pierre de Villemarest, hero of the French Resistance in World War II, anti-communist, and critic of the CFR. Interviewing Khomeini, de Villemarest asked:
How are you going to solve the economic crisis into which you have plunged the country through your agitation of these past few weeks?... And aren’t you afraid that when the present regime is destroyed you will be outpaced by a party as tightly-knit and well organized as the [communist] Tudeh?
Khomeini didn’t reply. The interpreter stood, saying, “The Ayatollah is tired.” De Villemarest registered his concern with the French Ministry of the Interior, but reported, “They told me to occupy myself with something else.”

Ending the Shah’s Rule:

Iran’s situation deteriorated. As Western media spurred revolutionaries, riots and strikes paralyzed Iran. The Shah wrote:
At about this time, a new CIA chief was stationed in Teheran. He had been transferred to Iran from a post in Tokyo with no previous experience in Iranian affairs. Why did the U.S. install a man totally ignorant of my country in the midst of such a crisis? I was astonished by the insignificance of the reports he gave me. At one point we spoke of liberalization and I saw a smile spread across his face.

The Carter administration’s continuous demand upon the Shah: liberalize. On October 26, 1978, he freed 1,500 prisoners, but increased rioting followed. The Shah commented that “the more I liberalized, the worse the situation in Iran became. Every initiative I took was seen as proof of my own weakness and that of my government.” Revolutionaries equated liberalization with appeasement. “My greatest mistake,” the Shah recalled, “was in listening to the Americans on matters concerning the internal affairs of my kingdom.”

Iran’s last hope: its well-trained military could still restore order. The Carter administration realized this. Du Berrier noted: “Air Force General Robert Huyser, deputy commander of U.S. forces in Europe, was sent to pressure Iran’s generals into giving in without a fight.” “Huyser directly threatened the military with a break in diplomatic relations and a cutoff of arms if they moved to support their monarch.”

“It was therefore necessary,” the Shah wrote, “to neutralize the Iranian army. It was clearly for this reason that General Huyser had come to Teheran.”
Huyser only paid the Shah a cursory visit, but had three meetings with Iran’s revolutionary leaders — one lasting 10 hours. Huyser, of course, had no authority to interfere with a foreign nation’s sovereign affairs.
Prior to execution later by Khomeini, General Amir Hossein Rabbi, Commander of the Iranian Air Force, stated: “General Huyser threw the Shah out of the country like a dead mouse.”

U.S. officials pressed the Shah to leave Iran. He reflected:
You cannot imagine the pressure the Americans were putting on me, and in the end it became an order.... How could I stay when the Americans had sent a general, Huyser, to force me out? How could I stand alone against Henry Precht [the State Department Director for Iran] and the entire State Department?He finally accepted exile, clinging to the belief that America was still Iran’s ally, and that leaving would avert greater bloodshed. These hopes proved illusions.A factor in the Shah’s decision to depart was that — unknown to most people — he had cancer. U.S. Ambassador William Sullivan (CFR) assured the Shah that, if he exited Iran, America would welcome him. Despite the pleadings of myriad Iranians to stay, he reluctantly left. However, shortly after reaching Cairo, the U.S. ambassador to Egypt effectively informed him that “the government of the United States regrets that it cannot welcome the Shah to American territory.”The betrayed ruler now became “a man without a country.”

Iran’s Chaotic Descent:

On February 1, 1979, with U.S. officials joining the welcoming committee, Ayatollah Khomeini arrived in Iran amid media fanfare. Although counter-demonstrations, some numbering up to 300,000 people, erupted in Iran, the Western press barely mentioned them.

Khomeini had taken power, not by a constitutional process, but violent revolution that ultimately claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. Numerous of his opponents were executed, usually without due process, and often after brutal torture. Teheran’s police officers — loyal to the Shah — were slaughtered. At least 1,200 Imperial Army officers, who had been instructed by General Huyser not to resist the revolution, were put to death. Before dying, many exclaimed, “God save the King!” “On February 17,” reported du Berrier, “General Huyser faced the first photos of the murdered leaders whose hands he had tied and read the descriptions of their mutilations.” At the year’s end, the military emasculated and no longer a threat, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. More Iranians were killed during Khomeini’s first month in power than in the Shah’s 37-year reign. Yet Carter, Ted Kennedy, and the Western media, who had brayed so long about the Shah’s alleged “human rights” violations, said nothing. Mass executions and torture elicited no protests. Seeing his country thus destroyed, the exiled Shah raged to an adviser: “Where are the defenders of human rights and democracy now?” Later, the Shah wrote that there was

Not a word of protest from American human rights advocates who had been so vocal in denouncing my “tyrannical” regime! It was a sad commentary, I reflected, that the United States, and indeed most Western countries, had adopted a double standard for international morality: anything Marxist, no matter how bloody and base, is acceptable.

Exile:

The Shah’s personal tragedy wasn’t over. He stayed briefly in Egypt and Morocco, but did not wish to impose risks on his hosts from Muslim extremists. Eventually he welcomed Mexican President Lopes Portillo’s hospitality.

However, in Mexico the Shah received an invitation from CFR Chairman David Rockefeller, who used influence to secure permission for the Shah to come to America for medical treatment. Rockefeller sent a trendy Park Avenue MD to examine the Shah, who agreed — against his better judgment — to abandon his personal physicians and fly to New York for treatment. In October 1979, he was received at the Rockefeller-founded Sloan-Kettering Memorial Hospital for cancer treatment. Here the Shah experienced a fateful delay in spleen surgery that some believe accelerated his death.

The Shah’s admission to the United States had another outcome. Partly in retribution, on November 4, 1979, Iranians took 52 hostages from the U.S. embassy in Teheran. Soviet special services assisted them. This embarrassed Jimmy Carter, who had done so much to destroy the Shah and support Khomeini. The seizure made the Shah a pawn.

While in New York, Mexico inexplicably reversed its welcome, informing the Shah that his return would contravene Mexico’s “vital interests.” One can only guess at the hidden hands possibly influencing this decision.

Carter faced a dilemma. Iran wanted the Shah’s return — for a degrading execution — in exchange for the American hostages. However, a direct trade might humiliate the United States.

Therefore, Panama was selected as intermediary. Following treatment in New York, the Shah was informed he could no longer remain in America, but Panama would welcome him. In Panama, however, the Shah and Empress were under virtual house arrest; it was apparent that it would only be a matter of time before the Shah would be sent to Iran in exchange for the hostages. A special cage was erected in Teheran. Khomeini’s followers envisioned parading him in the streets before final torture and bloody execution.

However, Anwar Sadat, the Egyptian president and the Shah’s friend, discerned the scheme, and sent a jet to Panama, which escorted the Shah and Empress safely to Egypt.

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi died on July 27, 1980. His last words: “I wait upon Fate, never ceasing to pray for Iran, and for my people. I think only of their suffering.” In Cairo, a grand funeral honored him. Three million Egyptians followed the procession.

Anwar Sadat who, like the Shah, advocated a peaceful Middle East, and defied the American establishment by saving the Shah from infamous death, did not survive much longer himself. The following year, Muslim extremists assassinated him under circumstances remaining controversial.

The Issues:

Why did the American establishment, defying logic and morality, betray our ally the Shah? Only the perpetrators can answer the question, but a few possibilities should be considered.

Iran ranks second in the world in oil and natural-gas reserves. Energy is critical to world domination, and major oil companies, such as Exxon and British Petroleum, have long exerted behind-the-scenes influence on national policies.

The major oil companies had for years dictated Iranian oil commerce, but the Shah explained:

In 1973 we succeeded in putting a stop, irrevocably, to sixty years of foreign exploitation of Iranian oil-resources.... In 1974, Iran at last took over the management of the entire oil-industry, including the refineries at Abadan and so on.... I am quite convinced that it was from this moment that some very powerful, international interests identified, within Iran, the collusive elements, which they could use to encompass my downfall.

Does this explain the sudden attitude change toward Iran expressed by Henry Kissinger, beginning in the mid-seventies? Kissinger’s links to the Rockefellers, whose fortune derived primarily from oil, bolsters the Shah’s view on the situation. However, other factors should be considered.

Although the Shah maintained a neutral stance toward Israel, during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, he allowed critical supplies to reach Egypt, enabling it to achieve a balance of success, and earning Sadat’s undying gratitude, but wrath from influential Zionists. Did this impact the West’s attitude change in the mid-seventies?

We should not overlook that the Shah opposed the powerful opium trade, now flourishing in the Middle East.

Finally, the Shah was a nationalist who brought his country to the brink of greatness and encouraged Middle East peace. These qualities are anathema to those seeking global governance, for strong nations resist membership in world bodies, and war has long been a destabilizing catalyst essential to what globalists call “the new world order.”

What is the solution to modern Iran? Before listening to war drums, let us remember:
It was the CFR clique — the same establishment entrenched in the Bush and Obama administrations — that ousted the Shah, resulting in today’s Iran. That establishment also chanted for the six-year-old Iraq War over alleged weapons of mass destruction never found. Therefore, instead of contemplating war with Iran, a nation four times Iraq’s size, let us demand that America shed its CFR hierarchy and their interventionist policy that has wrought decades of misery, and adopt a policy of avoiding foreign entanglements, and of minding our own business in international affairs.

PEANUT FARMER ARCHITECT OF OUR TERRORISTS

PEANUT FARMER ARCHITECT OF OUR TERRORISTS

BY MY FRIEND ALAN PETERS

Leadership: In the name of human rights, Jimmy Carter gave rise to one of the worst rights violators in history — the Ayatollah Khomeini. And now Khomeini's successor is preparing for nuclear war with Israel and the West.

Profile In Incompetence: Fourth In A Series

More on this series:

When President Carter took office in 1977, the Iran of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was a staunch American ally, a bulwark in our standoff with the Soviet Union, thwarting the dream held since the time of the czars of pushing south toward the warm waters of the appropriately named Persian Gulf.

Being an ally of the U.S. in the Cold War, Iran was a target for Soviet subversion and espionage. Like the U.S. in today's war on terror, Iran arrested and incarcerated many who threatened its sovereignty and existence, mainly Soviet agents and their collaborators.

This did not sit well with the former peanut farmer, who, on taking office, declared that advancing "human rights" was among his highest priorities. The Shah was one of his first targets.

As he's done with our terror-war detainees in Guantanamo, Carter accused the Shah of torturing some 3,000 "political" prisoners.

(Alan Note: Actual figure from Amnesty International was closer to 2,400 - mostly Tudeh Communists and Soviet supporting Marxist-Islamists).

He chastised the Shah for his human rights record and engineered the withdrawal of American support.

The irony here is that when Khomeini, a former Muslim exile in Paris, overthrew the Shah in February 1979, many of these 3,000 were executed by the ayatollah's firing squads along with 20,000 pro-Western Iranians.

According to "The Real Jimmy Carter," a book by Steven Hayward of the American Enterprise Institute: "Khomeini's regime executed more people in its first year in power than the Shah's Savak had allegedly killed in the previous 25 years."

The mullahs hated the Shah not because he was an oppressive dictator. They hated him because he was a secular, pro-Western leader who, in addition to other initiatives, was expanding the rights and roles of women in Iran society.

Alan Note: recently one of the pro-Mossadegh and Tudeh (Communist) party Iranian leaders openly stated: "we were not attacking the Shah for freedoms for the people but for freedom for us to import and install our foreign (Soviet) philosophies without fear and impediment).

Under Khomeini, women returned to their second-class role, and citizens were arrested for merely owning satellite dishes that could pick up Western television.

Khomeini established the first modern Islamic regime, a role model for the Taliban and jihadists to follow.

And when the U.S. Embassy was stormed that November and 52 Americans taken hostage for 444 days, America's lack of resolve was confirmed in the jihadist mind.

On Nov. 4, 1979, some 400 Khomeini followers broke down the door of the embassy in Tehran, seizing the compound and the Americans inside. The hostage takers posed for the cameras next to a poster with a caricature of Carter and the slogan: "America cannot do a damn thing."

(Alan Note: unpublicized intelligence at the time indicated that the hostage taking was arranged by Jimmuh the idiot Carter with Khomeini aides, like Yazdi, Bani-Sadr and Ghotbzadeh, who were U.S. aligned and attached to Khomeini by Carter, to ensure his re-election, when he (Carter) conveniently arranged their release just before voting took place. Ronald Reagan found out about it, blocked the plot and arranged the release AFTER the election).

Indeed, America under Carter wouldn't do much. At least not until the 154th day of the crisis, when Carter, finally awakening to the seizure of U.S. diplomats and citizens on what was legally American soil, broke off diplomatic relations and began planning economic sanctions.

When Carter got around to hinting about the use of military force, Khomeini offered this mocking response: "He is beating on an empty drum. Neither does Carter have the guts for military action nor would anyone listen to him."

Carter did actually try a military response of sorts. But like every other major policy action of his, he bungled it. The incompetence of his administration would be seen in the wreckage in the Iranian desert, where a plan to rescue the hostages resulted in the loss of eight aircraft, five airmen and three Marines.

(Alan note: information obtained from post-Shah Iranian military and intelligence sources and more evidence from Americans, who were involved or on scene, all point to the so-called hostage rescue in fact being a failed arms delivery to Afghanistan, ("Green Belt" contain Soviets project) where the Soviets shot and disabled one of the C130's bringing in weapons.

Leaving Carter to either declare war on the Soviets for this act of war or pretend it was something else. Yes, a failed hostage rescue, which was still not operational after something was cobbled together by a cabal of U.S. intelligence and military groups, which all wanted a part in the operation. But whose witches brew was still not fully cooked).

Among the core group of hostage takers and planners of the attack on our embassy was 23-year-old Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who learned firsthand the weakness and incompetence of Carter's foreign policy, one that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid are now attempting to resurrect.

According to then-Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, Ahmadinejad was among the hostage takers and the liaison between them and prominent Tehran preacher Ali Khameini, later to become supreme leader of the Islamic Republic.

The Shah was forced into exile and on the run from Morocco to Egypt, the Bahamas, Mexico and finally Panama. In July 1979, Vice President Walter Mondale and National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski told Carter they had changed their minds about offering the Shah permanent asylum. Carter's spiteful response was: "F*** the Shah. I'm not going to welcome him here when he has other places to go where he'll be safe."

In October 1979, the Shah, gravely ill with cancer, was granted a limited visa for treatment at the Cornell Medical Center in New York. He would die in Cairo in July 1980, an abandoned American friend. Our enemies took notes.

If the Shah had remained in power, it isn't likely the Iraq-Iran War, with upward of a million casualties on both sides, a war that saw Saddam Hussein first use mass-murder weapons, would have taken place.

(Alan Note: Iraq had tried once before, in the time of the Shah, to invade Iran over the dispute of the Shatt-Al Arab river between the two countries. This lasted all of four days before Saddam Hussein's forces were driven out with their tails between their legs. Nothing like the eight years under Carter's Khomeini).

Nor is it likely there would have been a Desert Storm, fought after Hussein invaded Kuwait to strengthen his strategic position. That led to bases in Saudi Arabia that fueled Islamofascist resentment, one of the reasons given by Osama bin Laden for striking at America, the Great Satan.

Carter's Khomeini introduced the idea of suicide bombers to the Palestine Liberation Organization and paid $35,000 to PLO families who would offer up their children as human bombs to kill as many Israelis as possible.

It was Carter's Khomeini who would give the world Hezbollah to make war on Israel and destroy the multicultural democracy that was Lebanon.

And perhaps Jimmy has forgotten that Hezbollah, which he helped make possible, killed 241 U.S. troops in their Beirut barracks in 1983.

The Soviet Union, seeing us so willingly abandon a staunch ally, invaded Afghanistan in December 1979, just six months after Carter and Russian leader Leonid Brezhnev embraced after signing a new arms-control treaty.

(Alan Note: the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office sent some 200 observers to monitor the Carter-Reagan election to note whether the Soviets would try to spend enough money to "buy" the election for their "mole" Jimmuh Carter).

And it was the resistance to the Soviet invasion that helped give birth to the Taliban. As Hayward observes, the fall of Iran, hastened by Jimmy Carter, "set in motion the advance of radical Islam and the rise of terrorism that culminated in Sept. 11."

Writer Christopher Hitchens recalls a discussion he had with Eugene McCarthy. A Democrat and former candidate for that party's presidential nomination, where McCarthy voted for Ronald Reagan instead of Carter in 1980.

The reason? Carter had "quite simply abdicated the whole responsibility of the presidency while in office. He left the nation at the mercy of its enemies at home and abroad (including the Soviets). He was quite simply the worst president we ever had."

Quite simply, we concur. Though he is the best SOVIET president America ever elected!

(Alan Note: And Carter's liberal, to the point of Communist/Socialist leanings, can be seen in his staunch ties and support of Cuba's Castro, Venezuela's Chavez, other South American leftist governments and his anti-America diatribe attacks on anything that confronts he terrorism he stupidly created.

He has a share in all the blood, still on his hands, of all innocents killed by those he actively helped put in place.

Role of US Former Pres. Carter Emerging in Illegal Financial Demands on Shah of Iran

Exclusive. Analysis. By Alan Peters,(1) GIS. Strong intelligence has begun to emerge that US President Jimmy Carter attempted to demand financial favors for his political friends from the Shah of Iran. The rejection of this demand by the Shah could well have led to Pres. Carters resolve to remove the Iranian Emperor from office.

The linkage between the destruction of the Shahs Government directly attributable to Carters actions and the Iran-Iraq war which cost millions of dead and injured on both sides, and to the subsequent rise of radical Islamist terrorism makes the new information of considerable significance.

Pres. Carters anti-Shah feelings appeared to have ignited after he sent a group of several of his friends from his home state, Georgia, to Tehran with an audience arranged with His Majesty directly by the Oval Office and in Carters name. At this meeting, as reported by Prime Minister Amir Abbas Hoveyda to some confidantes, these businessmen told the Shah that Pres. Carter wanted a contract; Previously awarded to Brown & Root to build a huge port complex at Bandar Mahshahr, to be cancelled and as a personal favor to him to be awarded to the visiting group at 10 percent above the cost quoted by Brown & Root.

The group would then charge the 10 percent as a management fee and supervise the project for Iran, passing the actual construction work back to Brown & Root for implementation, as previously awarded. They insisted that without their management the project would face untold difficulties at the US end and that Pres. Carter was trying to be helpful. They told the Shah that in these perilous political times, he should appreciate the favor which Pres. Carter was doing him.

According to Prime Minister Hoveyda, the Georgia visitors left a stunned monarch and his bewildered Prime Minister speechless, other than to later comment among close confidantes about the hypocrisy of the US President, who talked glibly of God and religion but practiced blackmail and extortion through his emissaries.

The multi-billion dollar Bandar Mahshahr project would have made 10 percent management fees a huge sum to give away to Pres. Carters friends as a favor for unnecessary services. The Shah politely declined the personal management request which had been passed on to him. The refusal appeared to earn the Shah the determination of Carter to remove him from office.

Carter subsequently refused to allow tear gas and rubber bullets to be exported to Iran when anti-Shah rioting broke out, nor to allow water cannon vehicles to reach Iran to control such outbreaks, generally instigated out of the Soviet Embassy in Tehran. There was speculation in some Iranian quarters as well as in some US minds at the time and later that Carters actions were the result of either close ties to, or empathy for, the Soviet Union, which was anxious to break out of the longstanding US-led strategic containment of the USSR, which had prevented the Soviets from reaching the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

Sensing that Iran’s exports could be blocked by a couple of ships sunk in the Persian Gulf shipping lanes, the Shah planned a port which would have the capacity to handle virtually all of Iran’s sea exports unimpeded.

Contrary to accusations leveled at him about the huge, megalomaniac projects like Bandar Mahshahr, these served as a means to provide jobs for a million graduating high school students every year for whom there were no university slots available. Guest workers, mostly from Pakistan and Afghanistan were used to start and expand the projects and Iranians replaced the foreigners as job demand required, while essential infrastructure for Iran was built ahead of schedule.

In late February 2004, Islamic Iran’s Deputy Minister of Economy stated that the country needed $18-billion a year to create one-million jobs and achieve economic prosperity. And at the first job creation conference held in Tehrans Amir Kabir University, Iran’s Student News Agency estimated the jobless at some three-million. Or a budget figure of $54-billion to deal with the problem.

Thirty years earlier, the Shah had already taken steps to resolve the same challenges, which were lost in the revolution which had been so resolutely supported by Jimmy Carter.

A quarter-century after the toppling of the Shah and his Government by the widespread unrest which had been largely initiated by groups with Soviet funding but which was, ironically, to bring the mullahs rather than the radical-left to power Ayatollah Shariatmadari’s warning that the clerics were not equipped to run the country was echoed by the Head of Islamic Iran’s Investment Organization, who said: We are hardly familiar with the required knowledge concerning the proper use of foreign resources both in state and private sectors, nor how to make the best use of domestic resources. Not even after 25 years.

Historians and observers still debate Carters reasons for his actions during his tenure at the White House, where almost everything, including shutting down satellite surveillance over Cuba at an inappropriate time for the US, seemed to benefit Soviet aims and policies. Some claim he was inept and ignorant, others that he was allowing his liberal leanings to overshadow US national interests.

The British Foreign & Commonwealth Office had enough doubts in this respect, even to the extent of questioning whether Carter was a Russian mole, that they sent around 200 observers to monitor Carters 1980 presidential campaign against Ronald Reagan to see if the Soviets would try to buy the presidency for Carter.

In the narrow aspect of Carter setting aside international common sense to remove the US most powerful ally in the Middle East; this focused change was definitely contrary to US interests and events over the next 25 years proved this.

According to Prime Minister Hoveyda, Jimmy Carters next attack on the Shah was a formal country to country demand that the Shah sign a 50-year oil agreement with the US to supply oil at a fixed price of $8 a barrel. No longer couched as a personal request, the Shah was told he should heed the contract proposal if he wished to enjoy continued support from the US. In these perilous, political times which, could become much worse.

Faced with this growing pressure and threat, the monarch still could not believe that Iran, the staunchest US ally in the region, other than Israel, would be discarded or maimed so readily by Carter, expecting he would be prevailed upon by more experienced minds to avoid destabilizing the regional power structure and tried to explain his position. Firstly, Iran did not have 50-years of proven oil reserves that could be covered by a contract. Secondly, when the petrochemical complex in Bandar Abbas, in the South, was completed a few years later, each barrel of oil would produce $1,000 worth of petrochemicals so it would be treasonous for the Shah to give oil away for only $8.

Apologists, while acknowledging that Carter had caused the destabilization of the monarchy in Iran, claim he was only trying to salvage what he could from a rapidly deteriorating political situation to obtain maximum benefits for the US. But, after the Shah was forced from the throne, Carters focused effort to get re-elected via the Iran hostage situation points to less high minded motives.

Rumor has always had it that Carter had tried to negotiate to have the US hostages, held for 444 days by the Islamic Republic which he had helped establish in Iran, released just before the November 1980 election date, but that opposition (Republican) candidate Ronald Reagan had subverted, taken over and blocked the plan. An eye-witness account of the seizure by students of the US Embassy on November 4, 1979, in Tehran confirms a different scenario.

The mostly rent-a-crowd group of students organized to climb the US Embassy walls was spearheaded by a mullah on top of a Volkswagen van, who with a two-way radio in one hand and a bullhorn in the other, controlled the speed of the march on the Embassy according to instructions he received over the radio. He would slow it down, hurry it up and slow it down again in spurts and starts, triggering the curiosity of an educated pro-Khomeini vigilante, who later told the story to a friend in London.

When asked by the vigilante for the reason of this irregular movement, the stressed cleric replied that he had instructions to provide the US Embassy staff with enough time to destroy their most sensitive documents and to give the three most senior US diplomats adequate opportunity to then take refuge at the Islamic Republic Foreign Ministry rather than be taken with the other hostages. Someone at the Embassy was informing the Foreign Ministry as to progress over the telephone and the cleric was being told what to do over his radio.

The vigilante then asked why the Islamic Government would bother to be so accommodating to the Great Satan and was told that the whole operation was planned in advance by Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan’s revolutionary Government with Pres. Carter in return for Carter having helped depose the Shah and that this was being done to ensure Carter got re-elected. He helped us, now we help him was the matter-of-fact comment from the cleric.

In 1978 while the West was deciding to remove His Majesty Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi from the throne, Shariatmadari was telling anyone who would listen not to allow Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and his Velayat Faghih (Islamic jurist) version of Islam to be allowed to govern Iran. Ayatollah Shariatmadari noted: We mullahs will behave like bickering whores in a brothel if we come to power ... and we have no experience on how to run a modern nation so we will destroy Iran and lose all that has been achieved at such great cost and effort.(2)

Pres. Carter reportedly responded that Khomeini was a religious man as he was and that he knew how to talk to a man of God, who would live in the holy city of Qom like an Iranian pope and act only as an advisor to the secular, popular revolutionary Government of Mehdi Bazargan and his group of anti-Shah executives, some of whom were US-educated and expected to show preferences for US interests.

Carter’s mistaken assessment of Khomeini was encouraged by advisors with a desire to form an Islamic green belt to contain atheist Soviet expansion with the religious fervor of Islam. Eventually all 30 of the scenarios on Iran presented to Carter by his intelligence agencies proved wrong, and totally misjudged Khomeini as a person and as a political entity.

Today, Iranian-born, Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, the dominant Shia leader in Iraq faces Shariatmadari’s dilemma and shares the same quietist Islamic philosophy of sharia (religious law) guidance rather than direct governing by the clerics themselves. Sistanis Khomeini equivalent, militant Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Sadr, was gunned down in 1999 by then-Iraqi Pres. Saddam Hussein’s forces. Sadr’s son, 30-year-old Muqtada al-Sadr, lacks enough followers or religious seniority/clout to immediately oppose Sistani but has a hard core of violent followers biding their time.

According to all estimates, the young Sadr waits for the June 2004 scheduled handover of power in Iraq, opening the way for serious, militant intervention on his side by Iranian clerics. The Iranian clerical leaders, the successors to Khomeini, see, far more clearly than US leaders and observers, the parallels between 1979-80 and 2004: as a result, they have put far more effort into activities designed to ensure that Reagan’s successor, US Pres. George W. Bush, does not win power.

By Middle East standards the Shah of Iran was a progressive democrat. In the eyes of President Jimmy Carter and certain foreign policy factions in the State Department and various think tanks, the Shah represented the heart of darkness.

In an article in May 2002, NewsMax's Chris Ruddy pointed out:
"Remember Carter's human rights program, where he demanded the Shah of Iran step down and turn over power to the Ayatollah Khomeini? "No matter that Khomeini was a madman. Carter had the U.S. Pentagon tell the Shah's top military commanders about 150 of them to acquiesce to the Ayatollah and not fight him.

"The Shah's military listened to Carter. All of them were murdered in one of the Ayatollah's first acts. "By allowing the Shah to fall, Carter created one of the most militant anti-American dictatorships ever."

[See: Jimmy Carter's Trail of Disaster.] As has been reported in NewsMax previously, Carter still receives a great deal of money from the Arab world for his Carter Center in Atlanta.

Carter Sold out Iran 1977-1978

Carter Sold out Iran 1977-1978

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/10/29/170201.shtml

As if a light were switched off, the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlevi, portrayed for 20 years as a progressive modern ruler by Islamic standards, was suddenly, in 1977-1978, turned into this foaming at the mouth monster by the international left media. Soon after becoming President in 1977, Jimmy Carter launched a deliberate campaign to undermine the Shah. The Soviets and their left-wing apparatchiks would coordinate with Carter by smearing the Shah in a campaign of lies meant to topple his throne. The result would be the establishment of a Marxist/Islamic state in Iran headed by the tyrannical Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The Iranian revolution, besides enthroning one of the world’s most oppressive regimes, would greatly contribute to the creation of the Marxist/Islamic terror network challenging the free world today.

At the time, a senior Iranian diplomat in Washington observed, President Carter betrayed the Shah and helped create the vacuum that will soon be filled by Soviet-trained agents and religious fanatics who hate America. Under the guise of promoting human rights, Carter made demands on the Shah while blackmailing him with the threat that if the demands weren’t fulfilled, vital military aid and training would be withheld. This strange policy, carried out against a staunch, 20 year Middle East ally, was a repeat of similar policies applied in the past by US governments to other allies such as pre Mao China and pre Castro Cuba.

Carter started by pressuring the Shah to release political prisoners including known terrorists and to put an end to military tribunals. The newly released terrorists would be tried under civil jurisdiction with the Marxist/Islamists using these trials as a platform for agitation and propaganda. This is a standard tactic of the left then and now. The free world operates at a distinct disadvantage to Marxist and Islamic nations in this regard as in those countries; trials are staged to show the political faith of the ruling elite. Fair trials, an independent judiciary, and a search for justice are considered to be a western bourgeois prejudice.

Carter pressured Iran to allow for free assembly which meant that groups would be able to meet and agitate for the overthrow of the government. It goes without saying that such rights didn’t exist in any Marxist or Islamic nation. The planned and predictable result of these policies was an escalation of opposition to the Shah, which would be viewed by his enemies as a weakness. A well-situated internal apparatus in Iran receiving its marching orders from the Kremlin egged on this growing opposition.

By the fall of 1977, university students, working in tandem with a Shiite clergy that had long opposed the Shahs modernizing policies, began a well coordinated and financed series of street demonstrations supported by a media campaign reminiscent of the 1947-1948 campaign against Chinas Chiang Ki Shek in favor of the agrarian reformer Mao tse Tung. At this point the Shah was unable to check the demonstrators, who were instigating violence as a means of inflaming the situation and providing their media stooges with atrocity propaganda. Rumors were circulating amongst Iranians that the CIA under the orders of President Carter organized these demonstrations.

In November 1977, the Shah and his Empress, Farah Diba, visited the White House where they were met with hostility. They were greeted by nearly 4,000 Marxist-led Iranian students, many wearing masks, waving clubs, and carrying banners festooned with the names of Iranian terrorist organizations. The rioters were allowed within 100 feet of the White House where they attacked other Iranians and Americans gathered to welcome the Shah. Only 15 were arrested and quickly released. Inside the White House, Carter pressured the Shah to implement even more radical changes. Meanwhile, the Soviets were mobilizing a campaign of propaganda, espionage, sabotage, and terror in Iran. The Shah was being squeezed on two sides.

In April 1978, Moscow would instigate a bloody coup in Afghanistan and install the communist puppet Nur Mohammad Taraki. Taraki would proceed to call for a jihad against the Akhavan e Shayateen which translates into brothers of devils, a label applied to opponents of the new red regime in Kabul and to the Iranian government. Subversives and Soviet-trained agents swarmed across the long Afghanistan/Iran border to infiltrate Shiite mosques and other Iranian institutions. By November 1978, there was an estimated 500,000 Soviet backed Afghanis in Iran where, among other activities, they set up training camps for terrorists.

Khomeini, a 78-year-old Shiite cleric whose brother had been imprisoned as a result of activities relating to his Iranian Communist party affiliations, and who had spent 15 years in exile in Bath Socialist Iraq, was poised to return. In exile, Khomeini spoke of the creation of a revolutionary Islamic republic, which would be anti-Western, socialist, and with total power in the hands of an ayatollah. In his efforts to violently overthrow the government of Iran, Khomeini received the full support of the Soviets.

Noreddin Kianouri, head of the Iranian Communist Tudeh Party, in exile in East Berlin, stated, The Tudeh Party approves Ayatollah Khomeinis initiative in creating the Islamic Revolutionary Council. The ayatollahs program coincides with that of the Tudeh Party. Khomeini’s closest advisor, Sadegh Ghothzadeh, was well known as a revolutionary with close links to communist intelligence. In January 1998, Pravda, the official Soviet organ, officially endorsed the Khomeini revolution.

American leaders were also supporting Khomeini. After the Pravda endorsement, Ramsey Clark, who served as Attorney General under President Lyndon B. Johnson, held a press conference where he reported on a trip to Iran and a Paris visit with Khomeini. He urged the US government to take no action to help the Shah so that Iran could determine its own fate. Clark played a behind the scenes role influencing members of Congress to not get involved in the crisis. Perhaps UN Ambassador Andrew Young best expressed the thinking of the left at the time when he stated that, if successful, Khomeini would eventually be hailed as a saint.

Khomeini was allowed to seize power in Iran and, as a result, we are now reaping the harvest of anti-American fanaticism and extremism. Khomeini unleashed the hybrid of Islam and Marxism that has spawned suicide bombers and hijackers. President Jimmy Carter and the extremists in his administration are to blame and should be held accountable.

Conclusion:

Conclusion:

In 1977, Jimmy Carter withdrew U.S. support for the Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. That Shah’s regime was the strongest ally of both the U.S. and Israel in the region, and although not a total democracy, was certainly no more so than any number of far more fanatical, anti-American and anti-Semitic governments in the Middle East.

Carter also ordered the CIA to cease funding to Iran's Mullahs, who had basically been accepting money in exchange for inhibiting anti-western sentiment in the region.

Shortly afterward, the Shah was overthrown. The new regime, under the direction of the Islamic extremist Ayatollah Khomeini, then set to work reversing every pro-western policy of the Shah's government, such as women's rights and the citizenry's access to western media.

The torture and/or execution of political prisoners continued, only the targets of the new government were no longer mostly Soviet agents, as was the case under the Shah's rule, but rather, any pro-western Iranian who could be found, along with thousands of other individuals who were not considered a part of the Ayatollah's plan for the future of Iran.

In 1979, the fanatical followers of the once exiled (to France no less) Ayatollah swarmed the U.S. embassy in that country, taking fifty-four Americans hostage for what would prove to be 444 days. Carter was ineffective in securing the release of these hostages, either by diplomatic or military means.

In 1980, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, who viewed the return of Khomeini and the Islamic revolution in Iran as threatening to his own more secular agenda, and unrestrained by any American participation in Iranian affairs, began the eight year Iran-Iraq war.

That same year, the Soviets, emboldened by the fall of their primary opponent in the region, invaded Afghanistan. Carter's response was to withdraw the U.S. from the Olympic games of that year.

Secret political dealings with the Soviet Union

According to Peter Schweizer, the author of the best-selling book 'Reagan's War', Jimmy Carter sought the assistance of the Soviet Union to undermine the 1976 reelection bid of Gerald Ford, as well as Ronald Reagan's 1980 Presidential campaign. These allegations are based upon accounts provided by former Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin and former First Deputy Foreign Minister Georgii Kornienko.

It is reported that former Soviet Ambassador Averell Harriman met with Kornienko in September of 1976 on behalf of (then candidate) Carter and "gave assurances that if elected president, he (Carter) would take steps toward the rapid conclusion and signing of the SALT II Treaty, and would be ready to continue negotiations on an agreement on substantial reductions in strategic weapons".

Schweizer describes how Carter, during his 1980 reelection campaign, "dispatched [pro-Soviet industrialist] Armand Hammer to the Soviet Embassy for a secret meeting with Ambassador Dobrynin to ask for Soviet help" with issues which would assist him in being reelected, such as Jewish emigration, and promised the Soviets that their help would not be forgotten.

In 1984, (former President) Carter is said to have visited Dobrynin personally, seeking assistance in improving the election prospects of his former Vice President Walter Mondale, and warning the Ambassador that if Reagan was reelected, no arms agreements would ever be reached between the U.S. and the USSR.

Carter was a Traitor!

نافرماني هاي مدني#2

صفحه 2

مبارزه از طريق فشارهاي رواني
الف ) درون مرز

ـ شناسايي و معرفي كارگزاران وابسته به سران رژيم ( افشاي نسبت هاي خويشاوندي آنان با يكديگر ) .
ـ شناسايي و معرفي عاملان جنايات ، شكنجه ، گروه هاي فشار ( لباس شخصي ) و روساي زندان ها .
ـ افشاي روابط خانوادگي ميان بازرگانان ، بازاريان ، مديران و مسوولان سازمان ها و بنيادها و غيره ، با سران و مسوولان رده بالاي رژيم .
ـ بي اعتنايي ، عدم معاشرت و قطع روابط دوستانه با سرسپردگان رژيم .
ـ تلاش در آگاهي رساني و جذب كساني كه بر اساس باورهاي مذهبي ، مدافع عملكرد و حامي مسوولان رژيم هستند .
ـ در انزوا و تنگناي كاري قرار دادن وابستگان رژيم ، در محيط هاي كاري .
ـ پرهيز از خريد كالاهاي تجار خرده پا وكسبه هاي طرفدار رژيم .
ـ بي اعتنايي ( بايكوت ) و در محروميت عاطفي قراردادن طرفداران رژيم .
ب ) برون مرز

ـ طرد و قطع رابطه با وابستگان سياسي و اقتصادي سران و مسوولان رژيم .
ـ طرد همكاران رژيم در حوزه هاي گوناگون فرهنگي و هنري .
ـ تحريم كالاها و خدمات عرضه شده از سوي رژيم .
تحريم رسانه هاي حامي رژيم در خارج از كشور .

مبارزه كارشناسان ارتباطات و رايانه
عصر كنوني را عصر ارتباطات و اطلاعات ناميده اند . عصري كه اَبَر رايانه ها حرف نخست را مي زنند . عصري كه تكنولوژي رايانه اي ، رسيدن به هر ناممكني را ممكن ساخته است .
با توجه به اين كه امروزه حكومت هاي ضد انساني براي سلطه گسترده و روزافزون و نيز سركوب مبارزان و مخالفان خود ، كريدورهاو دالان هاي اطلاعاتي را به انحصار خود در مي آورند و از كامپيوتر ، به عنوان ابزاري مدرن بيشترين بهره را مي جويند ، انسداد اين گذرگاه ها و ناكارآمد كردن شبكه هاي اطلاعاتي ، ارتباطي ، تبليغاتي ، تنها به مدد متخصصان اين رشته ممكن است .
برهمين اساس ، كارشناسان اين رشته مي توانند نقشي برجسته و كليدي در « مبارزه بي خشونت » ايفا نمايند . راهكارهاي پيشنهادي عبارتند از :
ـ نفوذ به سيستم هاي اطلاعاتي و امنيتي رژيم .
ـ نفوذ ، ايجاد اختلال و مسدود كردن كريدورهاي فرماندهي و اطلاعاتي نيروهاي مسلح .
ـ ايجاد اختلال در سيستم هاي تبليغاتي رژيم . ( مانند راديو و تلويزون ) .
ـ نفوذ و از كار اندازي ( هك كردن ) پايگاه هاي اطلاعاتي و خبر رساني اينترنتي .
ـ ايجاد اختلال در شبكه هاي مالي رژيم ، مانند بانك ها . ـ ايجاد اختلال در شبكه هاي مخابراتي نيروهاي سركوبگر ( بسيج و نيروهاي انتظامي و ..... )

نافرماني هاي مدني#1

مبارزه بدون خشونت
(نافرماني هاي مدني)

تهيه و تنظيم : دكتر رامين اعتبار
با همكاري : پ . م . الف . خ
تيرماه 1383 ( جولاي 2004 )

امروزه صاحبنظران و انديشمندان برجسته جهان به اين نظر مشترك دست يافته اند كه « گذر از ديكتاتوري به دموكراسي » جز از « راه نافرماني هاي مدني » و « مبارزة بدون خشونت » حاصل نخواهد شد . يكي از شخصيت هايي كه در اين باره پژوهش هاي جامعي انجام داده ، « جين شارپ » است . اودرباره نوع سلاحي كه در اين قبيل مبارزه به كار گرفته مي شود ، مي گويد :
« مبارزات غير خشونت آميز ، توسط جنگ افزارهاي رواني ، اجتماعي ، اقتصادي و سياسي صورت مي گيرد كه توسط مردم و موسسات اجتماعي به كار گرفته مي شوند . اين سلاح ها با نام هاي گوناگوني همچون اعتراضات ، اعتصابات ، عدم همكاري ها ، تحريم ها و بي ميلي نيروهاي مردمي شناخته شده اند . »
چهارچوب كلي اين نوع مبارزه نشان مي دهد كه هر اقدام و حركتي كه در راستاي دستيابي به هدف صورت مي گيرد ، مي بايست داراي چند ويژگي باشد :
1 – فراگير بودن حركت
2 – ميزان تأثير گذاري آن در روند مبارزه
3 – عملي بودن ( قابليت اجرايي ) آن
4 – كم خطر بودن آن
5 – داشتن حداقلِ بار مالي ( كم هزينه بودن )
كه عمدتا از راه روشنگري هاي كلامي ، نوشتاري ، ديداري ( تصويري ) و نيز ارتباط با گروه هاي تأثير گذار و تصميم ساز ، به مرحله اجرا گذاشته مي شود .
بر اساس آن چه گفته شد ، روش هاي زير را كه در حوزه هاي عمل گوناگون ، با توجه به گروه هاي مبارز در درون و برون مرز طبقه بندي شده اند ، مي توان به كار بست :

Warning: An Eye For An Eye, And A Tooth For A Tooth

March 10, 2006

“Have you heard that it was said,'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” Mattew “5:38?

For the past 27 years the while we have been turning the other cheek advocating civil disobedience and nonviolent movements, The Iranian mullahs have been upping their ante on murder, maiming, raping, jailing, torturing, assassinating, and executing the dissidents.
2 days ago, on March 8, 2006 Iranian police and plainclothes Basiji thugs charged a peaceful assembly of women's rights activists in Tehran and beat hundreds of women and men who had gathered to commemorate International Women's Day. The Islamic barbarians even assaulted the elderly famous Iranian poet Simin Behbahani with an electric shocking baton as well as punching and kicking her!Last January about 1300 members of the Syndicate of the Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Vahed Bus Company were arrested. Hundreds of drivers and their wives and even children were transferred to the Evin Prison where the jail and judiciary officials even beat-up one of bus driver's two year old daughter. To crush the strike, the security forces used tear gas, batons and the threat to shoot the strikers. In each area where 600 to 700 workers were expected to report to work about 1500 security forces were present. Police raided the homes of the syndicate members and the majority of the members of the board of the union were taken into custody. The Iranian government and the city officials brought additional buses and drivers to prevent the spread of the strike. The attempted strike was brutally oppressed by the government forces and the security guards of the public bus company.In the 2005 US Dept. of State country report on human right referencing the UN General Assembly resolution on December 16, the following human rights problems were reported:

*significant restriction of the right of citizens to change their government
*summary executions, including of minors
*Disappearances
*Torture and severe punishments such as amputations and flogging
*Violence by vigilante groups with ties to the government
*Poor prison conditions
*Arbitrary arrest and detention, including prolonged solitary confinement
* lack of judicial independence
* lack of fair public trials, including lack of due process and access to counsel
* political prisoners and detainees
*Excessive government violence in Kurdish areas
*Substantial increase in violence from unknown groups in an Arab region of the country
*Severe restrictions on civil liberties--speech, press, assembly, association, movement, and privacy
*Severe restrictions on freedom of religion
*Official corruption
* lack of government transparency
*Violence and legal and societal discrimination against women, ethnic and religious minorities, and homosexuals
*Trafficking in persons
*Incitement to anti-Semitism
*Severe restriction of workers' rights, including freedom of association and the right to organize and bargain collectively
*Child labor
In a country that not even a completely peaceful gathering with no political overtones or slogans or a simple labor dispute is so brutally suppressed, how could we continue advocating nonviolent political action?
This is a word to the Islamic hooligans: that the Iranian peoples' patience is running out; if this trend continues we will resort to an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth option.
A word of advice to the Iranian law enforcement officers: remember the aftermath of the 1979 revolution, remember how many innocent police officers and security agents were either executed or killed by the people; Your mullah masters' days are over, your turn will come! People will avenge, the good will also pay the price for the crimes of the bad! You are paid by the people not the mullahs to serve and protect. Your job description does not include murder, maiming, raping, jailing, torturing, assassinating, and executing the dissidents. Stop!

Moronic IRI Comments

IRAN: AYATOLLAHS INVITE CASTRO TO BECOME A MUSLIM
http://www.adnki.com/index_2Level.php?cat=Religion&loid=8.0.231976823&par=0

Tehran, 22 Nov. (AKI) - Iran's religious authorities in the holy Shiite city of Qom have officially invited Cuba's revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, to convert to Islam, according to Hojatolislam Mohammad Reza Hakimi, quoted by Iran's Farda news agency. "I met Castro together with the Iranian foreign minister, Saiid Salili, and gave him some sacred Islamic texts translated into Spanish," said Hakimi, who recently returned from a government visit to Cuba.

"We spoke with Castro for several hours, and I think I almost managed to convince him to become a Muslim," Hakimi added. "Castro certain that Cuba is suffering from a lack of spirituality, and seems very interested in Islam, above all in the writing of Iran's revolutionary leader, Ayatallah Khomeini," Hakimi continued.

Khomeini in 1989 invited Mikhail Gorbachev, former president of the Soviet Union, to renounce Communism and to convert to Islam. Gorbachev's political and economic reforms in the mid-1980s triggered the non-violent transition from authoritarian to democratic forms of government in Eastern Europe, and from state-controlled to more free-market economies.


Iran's Ahmadinejad wants Israel moved to Europe
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20051208/wl_mideast_afp/iranisraelgermany;_ylt=Au9HyXylQbHiUKYnzsQdT0Ss0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3ODdxdHBhBHNlYwM5NjQ-

Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad triggered a new international outcry by saying the "tumor" of the state of Israel should be relocated to Europe.

His outspoken remarks were greeted with outrage from Germany, Israel and the United States, at the forefront of an international campaign to prevent the Islamic regime from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Ahmadinejad, who in October said arch-enemy Israel "must be wiped off the map", said that if Germany and Austria felt believed Jews were massacred during World War II, a state of Israel should be established on their soil.

"You believe the Jews were oppressed, why should the Palestinian Muslims have to pay the price?" he asked in an interview with Iranian state television's Arabic-language satellite channel, Al-Alam.

"You oppressed them, so give a part of Europe to the Zionist regime so they can establish any government they want. We would support it," he said, according to a transcript of his original Farsi-language comments given to AFP.

"So, Germany and Austria, come and give one, two or any number of your provinces to the Zionist regime so they can create a country there... and the problem will be solved at its root," he said.

"Why do they insist on imposing themselves on other powers and creating a tumor so there is always tension and conflict?"

Ahmadinejad, a straight-talking former commando who swept to the presidency after a shock election win in June, is no stranger to controversy.

"Unfortunately this is not the first time that the Iranian leader has expressed outrageous and racist views towards Jews and Israel," said Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Mark Regev.

"I hope that these outrageous remarks will be a wake-up call to people who have any illusions about the nature of the regime in Iran."

Israel's views were echoed by the United States, its closest ally.

"It just further underscores our concerns about the regime in Iran. And it's all the more reason why it's so important that the regime not have the ability to develop nuclear weapons," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the EU's nuclear diplomacy is "not made easier by the fact that Mr Ahmadinejad comes up with new ideas, that the people of Israel could move to Germany and Austria, to resolve the Middle East problem."

In his interview, Ahmadinejad also referred to the Holocaust as a matter of belief, and raised the issue of revisionist historians -- who attempt to establish that figures on the number of Jews killed by the Nazis are wildly exaggerated -- being prosecuted in Europe.

"Is it not true that European countries insist that they committed a Jewish genocide? They say that Hitler burned millions of Jews in furnaces... and exiled them," he said.

"Then because the Jews have been oppressed during the Second World War, therefore they (the Europeans) have to support the occupying regime of Qods (Jerusalem). We do not accept this."

The Holocaust was Nazi Germany's systematic slaughter of an estimated six million Jews between 1933 and 1945.

Official Iranian media frequently carry sympathetic interviews with Holocaust revisionists, and the regime itself also refuses to recognize Israel.

Ahmadinejad also proposed "a referendum in Palestine for all the original Palestinians" to decide on the future of what is now Israel, the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

But he said "the best solution is resistance so that the enemies of the Palestinians accept the reality and the right of the Palestinian people to have land."

He was speaking in the Muslim holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia where he was attending a summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.

After calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map" in October, Iran was chastised by the UN Security Council and drew fierce condemnation from the West -- already alarmed over Iran's nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile program.

A scheduled visit to Iran by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan was also called off as a result of the remark.

Ahmadinejad's tone has also been a major departure from his pro-reform predecessor Mohammad Khatami, who had eased anti-Western rhetoric and sought to bring Iran out of international isolation by calling for a "dialogue among civilizations."


Iran's president questions Holocaust
http://tinyurl.com/auqfs

Thursday - Dec 8th 2005

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday expressed doubt that the Holocaust occurred and suggested Israel be moved to Europe.

His comments, reported by Iran's official IRNA news agency from a news conference he gave in the Saudi Arabian city of Mecca, follow his call in October for Israel to be "wiped off the map", which sparked widespread international condemnation.

"Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces and they insist on it to the extent that if anyone proves something contrary to that they condemn that person and throw them in jail," IRNA quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.

"Although we don't accept this claim, if we suppose it is true, our question for the Europeans is: is the killing of innocent Jewish people by Hitler the reason for their support to the occupiers of Jerusalem?" he said.

"If the Europeans are honest they should give some of their provinces in Europe -- like in Germany, Austria or other countries -- to the Zionists and the Zionists can establish their state in Europe. You offer part of Europe and we will support it." ....

Shirin Ebadi is a traitor to Iran and Iranians!


Dear LA Times Editor

In your opinion section, this article titled Defusing Iran With Democracy; on the second paragraph Ebadi writes:
“When the U.S. and its allies encouraged the shah in the 1970s to start Iran's nuclear energy program, they helped create the Frankenstein that has become so controversial today. If, instead, they had pressed the shah to undertake political reforms, respect human rights and release Iran's political prisoners, history could have been very different.”
She then proceeds to justify the Iranian nuclear program and suggested a slap on the wrist for IRI.

In conclusion she writes” Lastly, the U.S. and Iran should enter direct negotiations. It is simply absurd for the U.S. and the most important nation in the Middle East not to communicate directly. The Bush administration should not be seduced by exile groups with no support in Iran. Developing democracy is an internal affair.”

As you are aware when the puppet masters gave her the Noble peace prize, on her ceremonial speech instead of addressing Iranian human rights violations, she criticized US and the Guantanamo Bay situation.

Instead of defending human rights and campaigning to stop child execution in Iran, this so-called lawyer defends the IRI terrorist regime’s quest for obtaining weapons of mass destruction.

I find this woman to be a mouthpiece for the IRI, and a traitor to Iran and Iranians!
This article is very poorly written, lacks reasoning and does not deserve publication!

Defusing Iran With Democracy

January 19, 2006
Los Angeles Times
Shirin Ebadi and Muhammad Sahimi

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-ebadi19jan19,0,5662866.story?coll=la-news-comment-opinions

Lost in the international fury over Iran's partial restart of its nuclear energy program, and the deplorable statements by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad regarding Israel, has been the fact that respect for human rights and a democratic political system are the most effective deterrent against the threat that any aspiring nuclear power, including Iran, may pose to the world.

When the U.S. and its allies encouraged the shah in the 1970s to start Iran's nuclear energy program, they helped create the Frankenstein that has become so controversial today. If, instead, they had pressed the shah to undertake political reforms, respect human rights and release Iran's political prisoners, history could have been very different.

In the three decades since then, India, South Africa, North Korea, Israel and Pakistan have joined the nuclear club — and most people would acknowledge that the democracies among them are viewed today as the least threatening. In the 1980s, South Africa's apartheid regime made several nuclear bombs, but the democratic government of Nelson Mandela dismantled them. India has a nuclear arsenal, but few perceive the world's largest democracy as a global threat. Nor is Israel considered likely to be the first in the Middle East to use nuclear weapons in a conflict.

But North Korea's nuclear program is a threat because its regime is secretive, its leader a recluse. The nuclear arsenal of Pakistan is dangerous because the military, which runs the country and is populated by Islamic extremists, helped create the Taliban and allowed Abdul Qadeer Khan to freely operate a nuclear supermarket.

Iran's nuclear program began accelerating around 1997 when the reform-minded Mohammad Khatami was elected president — just as Iran was developing an independent press, and just before a reformist parliament was elected in 2000. The reformists supported the nuclear program but wanted it to be fully transparent and in compliance with Iran's international obligations. These were reassuring signs that it would not get out of control.

But instead of backing Iran's fledgling democratic movement, which would have led to nuclear transparency, the U.S. undercut it by demonizing Iran.

While Khatami proposed people-to-people dialogue between Americans and Iranians, Washington chose to block Iranian scholars, artists and authors from visiting the U.S. Although Khatami helped the U.S. in Afghanistan, President Bush designated Iran a member of the "axis of evil."

By 2003, when it became clear that Khatami's reforms had stalled, the world started paying closer attention to Iran's nuclear program. So, what had demonizing Iran achieved?

The U.S. will not solve the nuclear problem by threatening military strikes or by dragging Iran before the U.N. Security Council. Although a vast majority of Iranians despise the country's hard-liners and wish for their downfall, they also support its nuclear program because it has become a source of pride for an old nation with a glorious history.

A military attack would only inflame nationalist sentiments. Iran is not Iraq. Given Iranians' fierce nationalism and the Shiites' tradition of martyrdom, any military move would provoke a response that would engulf the entire region, resulting in countless deaths and a ruined economy not only for the region but for the world.

Imposing U.N. sanctions on Iran would also be counterproductive, prompting Tehran to leave the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and its "additional protocol." Is the world ready to live with such prospects?

So, what can the West do? Western nations should help the U.N. appoint a special human rights monitor for Iran. It would remind the General Assembly of Iran's human rights record annually, and strongly condemn it if the record keeps deteriorating. Contrary to the general perception, Iran's clerics are sensitive to outside criticism.

The World Bank should stop providing Iran with loans and, instead, work with nongovernmental organizations and the private sector to strengthen civil society. The West should support Iran's human-rights and democracy advocates, nominate jailed leaders for international awards and keep the cause in the public eye. Western nations should downgrade diplomatic relations if Iran continues violating basic human rights.

Iran is at least six to 10 years away from a nuclear bomb, by most estimates. The crisis is not even a crisis. There is ample time for political reform before Iran ever develops the bomb. Meanwhile, the West should permit Iran a limited uranium enrichment program (as allowed under the nonproliferation treaty) under strict safeguards by the International Atomic Energy Agency — but only when Tehran undertakes meaningful reforms, including freeing political prisoners and holding free and fair elections.

Lastly, the U.S. and Iran should enter direct negotiations. It is simply absurd for the U.S. and the most important nation in the Middle East not to communicate directly. The Bush administration should not be seduced by exile groups with no support in Iran. Developing democracy is an internal affair.

Democracy, in the end, will provide the ultimate safeguard against nuclear disaster, because a truly democratic Iran, backed by a majority of Iranians, would feel secure enough not to pursue dangerous military adventures.

Ask the NOBEL WITCH: Are you a Moslem woman?????

Watch this video on the URL below and ask the NOBEL WITCH did any of these atrocities did not meet her criteria for commenting?

http://www.apostatesofislam.com/media/stoning.htm#video

Shirin Ebadi, are you a Moslem woman????

Is what is done in Iran under Islam according to shari’ law? If no why you don’t defend these victims? You are a so-called lawyer and human rights activists!

If the true Islam commits these crimes and atrocities you don’t condemn it as a former judge and human rights activist?

Instead of addressing the horrific crimes you criticize US and the Guantanamo Bay situation?

Isalam has no conflict with Democray? Then why your prisons are overflowing with dissidents and the cemeteries are running out of space ?

Instead of babbling “While Khatami proposed people-to-people dialogue between Americans and Iranians, Washington chose to block Iranian scholars, artists and authors from visiting the U.S. Although Khatami helped the U.S. in Afghanistan, President Bush designated Iran a member of the "axis of evil." Did you comment on the poor women being stoned in this video? How about the summer of 1988 when IRI massacred more than 30000 Iranian in a matter of days?

The NOBEL WITCH Instead of defending human rights and campaigning to stop child execution in Iran, this so-called lawyer defends the IRI terrorist regime’s quest for obtaining weapons of mass destruction.

Iranian political prisoners’ criticism of Shirin Ebadi

Dated February 24, 2006

Farsi to English translation by Ramin Etebar, M.D.


To Leaders of western governments, their respective foreign ministers & human rights organizations, We have deemed it necessary to direct your attention to the following matters:

It has been approximately two years since awarding the Noble peace prize to Shirin Ebadi . Even though it was our pride that an Iranian woman was awarded the prize, this does not prevent us from mentioning her weaknesses.

Mrs. Ebadi having plenty of financial and political opportunities as well as being an authority on human rights in Iran has the opportunity to voice the human rights violations in Iran. Prior to receiving the Noble prize she was an ordinary lawyer that was jailed less than 25 days and was released after writing a repent letter, naturally not much was expected of her, but today, given the circumstances above, we have higher expectations from her. We have noted a conservative attitude in her depicted in interviews, speeches, articles and reports.

A few days ago, the execution rumor of our prison friend Hojat Zamani with whom we had an ideological conflict broke out. We and Hojat’s family have been in a psychological warfare with the regime, rumors of his execution were never confirmed or denied. Mrs. Ebadi failed to mention or condemn this act by the regime.

Isn’t Hojat Zamani a human being? We are certain that Mrs. Ebadi dose not report the truth to the western leaders and human rights organizations.

Her reports are ‘directed” and cause diversion, to the point that her status has declined to a lobbyist for 3 of her friends that are respected by us.

She has never mentioned some people who have spent 27 years of their life in prison. She has never defended the imprisoned students and political dissidents

who are in jails for several years. She has no true knowledge of the political prisoners’ statistics and census. She thinks that all the political prisoners are the three individuals that she is representing them as a lawyer. She even introduces her friends for political prisoner’s awards, she will not mention people who have suffered more tortures and prison terms than her friends and are popular among the people. Aren’t these actions discriminatory and misrepresentation of the truth? How is this that she vigorously endeavors and advocates for her friend and client in jail for espionage, yet she does not speak a word for dissidents who have been jailed and tortured several years for nonviolent resistance? Isn’t this discrimination and apartheid?

Why should the Western leaders in Europe and America as well as human rights organizations be influenced and “canalized” by such a suspicious character?

Does Iran have only 3 political prisoners? Why shouldn’t she say a word about the 8 death row prisoners that can be executed any minute? Is this claiming justice and defense of human rights? Unfortunately it appears that the western leaders are being severely influenced by such unjust and problematic lobbyist!

How often from focusing on two or threes prisoners, by awards, political propaganda and censoring other political prisoners this segregation is comprehensible?

It is imperative that any Iranian nationalist try to translate this critique to different languages specially English, German, French, and Spanish; notify
western leaders, their foreign ministers, and human rights organizations as well as the media in Europe and specially the United States; asking them to expose this discrimination and apartheid in human rights.

Soon we will issue a communiqué regarding biography, past performance and negligence of Mrs. Shirin Ebadi concerning duty and mission for public defense of human rights in a clear and transparent manner.

Dear Sirs or Madams

Your government has sold the Islamic republic of Iran 800 HS50 Steyr-Mannlicher .50 caliber sniper rifles in the name of international trade.

Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran has been one of the world's most active sponsors of terrorism. Tehran has armed, trained, financed, inspired, organized, and otherwise supported dozens of violent groups over the years. Iran has backed not only groups in its Persian Gulf neighborhood, but also terrorists and radicals in Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Bosnia, the Philippines, and elsewhere.

Iran has been wreaking havoc in Iraq since the American occupation by arming, financing, supporting and sheltering insurgents. Hundreds of Iranian
intelligence operatives are working hard to destabilize Iraq; IRI cultivates terrorists such as Moqtada al-Sadr and is instigating Sunni uprising.
Iran has long pursued ties to Sunni jihadists, including members of al-Qa’ida.

As you are aware, the “Mullahcracy” Regime in Iran is an unelected government and rejected by the majority of the Iranian citizens.
The tyrants in Tehran have been brutally killing and injuring the innocent dissidents whose only crime is the cry of freedom.

Iran allegedly has bought the rifles to combat drug smugglers!!! It is a well known fact that the Iranian Mullahs are the drug cartels in the
region killing several birds with one stone mainly financial gains, followed by producing a drugged out disinterested society incapable of resistance
and finally financing terrorism.

Whether these guns be used on the Iranian citizens or American soldiers, we condemn the reckless acts of selling weapons to the IRI tyrant
regime for political and monetary concessions. You choice to stand with or against the Iranian people will determine our future government’s political and economic relations with your respected government.

In conclusion I like to direct your attention to this propaganda video by the jihadists. I hope that by knowing what your sniper
rifles will be used for, your government and your weapons manufacturers will stop participating in slaughter of the Iranian citizens and the
American soldiers!

Fury over Austrian 'super' rifles for Iranians
By Thomas Harding Defence Correspondent
(Filed: 14/01/2006)
Daily Telegraph
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/01/14/wiran214.xml
Britain and America are furious with Austria for exporting to Iran 800 sniper rifles that could be used against their troops in Iraq.
HS50 Steyr-Mannlicher .50 caliber rifles can pierce body armour from up to a mile, shoot down helicopters and penetrate Humvee troop carriers that have not been fully reinforced.
The weapons are highly accurate and fire a round called an armour-piercing incendiary, a bullet that the Iranians manufacture.
There are fears in the Pentagon that some will reach insurgents fighting allied forces in Iraq.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard is suspected of passing on bomb-making technology to Iraqi terrorists responsible for infra-red bombs that have killed 10 British soldiers.
A Foreign Office spokesman said there were "serious concerns" over the rifle sale and London had protested to Vienna.
"Although we did make our worries known, the sale has unfortunately gone ahead and these weapons could now fall into the wrong hands," he said.
Iran allegedly bought the rifles to combat drug smugglers pouring through the borders with Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The order, worth an estimated £8 million, was placed with Steyr last year and the company was given government permission to export the weapons.
A spokesman for Austria's interior ministry said there was no reason to stop the deal.
Iran is said to be re-arming after a £455 million deal with Russia for missiles and radar to ward off any air strikes on its nuclear facilities.

The followings are excerpts from the President Bush that apply to Iran & IRI thugs:

President Bush’s state of the union 2006

Abroad, our nation is committed to an historic, long-term goal -- we seek the end of tyranny in our world. Some dismiss that goal as misguided idealism. In reality, the future security of America depends on it. On September 11th, 2001, we found that problems originating in a failed and oppressive state seven thousand miles away could bring murder and destruction to our country. Dictatorships shelter terrorists, feed resentment and radicalism, and seek weapons of mass destruction. Democracies replace resentment with hope, respect the rights of their citizens and their neighbors, and join the fight against terror. Every step toward freedom in the world makes our country safer, and so we will act boldly in freedom's cause. Far from being a hopeless dream, the advance of freedom is the great story of our time. In 1945, there were about two dozen lonely democracies on earth. Today, there are 122. And we are writing a new chapter in the story of self-government -- with women lining up to vote in Afghanistan ... and millions of Iraqis marking their liberty with purple ink ... and men and women from Lebanon to Egypt debating the rights of individuals and the necessity of freedom. At the start of 2006, more than half the people of our world live in democratic nations. And we do not forget the other half -- in places like Syria, Burma, Zimbabwe, North Korea, and Iran -- because the demands of justice, and the peace of this world, require their freedom as well. Our offensive against terror involves more than military action. Ultimately, the only way to defeat the terrorists is to defeat their dark vision of hatred and fear by offering the hopeful alternative of political freedom and peaceful change. So the United States of America supports democratic reform across the broader Middle East. Elections are vital -- but they are only the beginning. Raising up a democracy requires the rule of law, protection of minorities, and strong, accountable institutions that last longer than a single vote. The great people of Egypt have voted in a multiparty presidential election -- and now their government should open paths of peaceful opposition that will reduce the appeal of radicalism. The Palestinian people have voted in elections -- now the leaders of Hamas must recognize Israel, disarm, reject terrorism, and work for lasting peace. Saudi Arabia has taken the first steps of reform -- now it can offer its people a better future by pressing forward with those efforts. Democracies in the Middle East will not look like our own, because they will reflect the traditions of their own citizens. Yet liberty is the future of every nation in the Middle East, because liberty is the right and hope of all humanity. The same is true of Iran, a nation now held hostage by a small clerical elite that is isolating and repressing its people. The regime in that country sponsors terrorists in the Palestinian territories and in Lebanon -- and that must come to an end. The Iranian government is defying the world with its nuclear ambitions -- and the nations of the world must not permit the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons. America will continue to rally the world to confront these threats. And tonight, let me speak directly to the citizens of Iran: America respects you, and we respect your country. We respect your right to choose your own future and win your own freedom. And our nation hopes one day to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran.

Bonfire of the Mullahs

A strong message of support to the Iranian youth seeking freedom should be derived prior to Chaharshanbeh Suri !!!

An ancient fire festival halted each year since the 1979 Islamic revolution because hardliners considered it un-Islamic, the Chaharshanbeh Suri, or Red Wednesday. For the last 27 years of the Islamic rule, the Iranian New Year Nowrooz, and the Red Wednesday fire Festival, which falls on the last Tuesday evening of the Iranian year, have been the battleground between the Iranian culture of joy, knowledge and life and the non-Iranian culture of mourning, ignorance and martyrdom. The Islamic regime's security forces have tried to reach a compromise each year by not banning the celebrations but declaring only certain official parks in the cities for lawful celebrations. Yet the people and the youth in particular once again turn the Red Wednesday celebrations into a combat zone for the test of forces. As the youth jumped over the bonfires the traditional ancient rhymes were replaced with anti-government ones. "toop, tank, feshfesheh Akhoond bayad koshteh sheh" " Cannons, Tanks and Firecrackers, We must kill the Mullahs". When it comes to the liberation of Iran, President Bush's words have been perfect. When will his administration's deeds follow suit? The United States should long ago have made regime change in Tehran a clear-cut goal of US foreign policy. At every turn, the mullahs who rule Iran have demonstrated their enmity for everything we are trying to accomplish in the Middle East. They are determined to keep Iraq agitated and unstable, and actively work to undercut US influence there. They camouflage their avid pursuit of a nuclear bomb behind a cloud of diplomatic blue smoke, one day making a show of cooperation with Western investigators, the next day demanding that the investigations end. Iran remains the world's foremost sponsor of terror, sheltering Al Qaeda thugs within its borders and dispatching trained killers to Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. Toppling the mullahs would not require a US invasion. The majority of Iran's 67 million people loathe their government. Many are unabashedly pro-American. If the United States explicitly called for regime change in Tehran and backed up that call with diplomatic and financial support for the pro-democracy resistance, Iranians would respond with courage and resolve. Like the festering Communist dictatorships that collapsed when the people of Eastern Europe rose against them in 1989, the corrupt Islamists in Iran can be defeated by the men and women they have oppressed for so long. If we are going to win the war on terror, the liberation of Iran is not an option. It is a prerequisite. The Bush administration should be saying so -- and living up to its words.

Petition to free Iran
Please sign and pass it on

View Current Signatures - Sign the Petition

To: Honorable President Of United States George W. Bush, General Secretary of the United Nations Mr. Kofi Annan, U.S. Congress, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mr. John Bolton, Senator Brownback, EU Heads of States, Heads of the world’s democratic states, The United Nation Commission for Human Rights Special Rapporteur, U.S. Secretay of State, the European Parliament, Amnesty International, , Reporters Without Borders , Human Rights Watch, and International Criminal Court (ICC)
The undersigned are individually or as a group unequivocally and unconditionally are in favor of regime change in Iran by peaceful means. We believe this could effectively be done through support of the Iranian Opposition Groups within Iran and outside along with world wide economic sanctions, targeting government hierarchy of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
We support and respect the aspiration of the people of Iran for freedom and democracy. We further declare that:
1- Mahmood Ahmadinejad does not represent Iranian people as his election involved fraudulent activities.
2- In the 2nd article of IRI constitution it is stated that the foundation of governing, and legislation only comes from God. Foundation and basis of legislation comes from Quran and living tradition of profit Mohammad and his family. “Imam” supreme leader or (Velayate Faghih) is the interpreter of the legislations. Velayat e Faghih is an unelected body and does not represent Iranians. The position of “Imam” supreme leader or (Velayate Faghih) is contrary to any fundamentals of democracy.
3- Based on the constitution of the IRI, the “Imam” supreme leader or (Velayate Faghih) is the interpreter of the legislations in addition to the fuqaha' of the Guardian Council who are judges in this matter. The guardian council members are selected by the Imam. Therefore, religious discrimination, killing of the non-Moslems, individual or group execution of the dissidents, amputation of limbs, eye gouging, flogging, torture, raping the virgin dissident females the night before the execution, stoning, property confiscation of the Moslems and non-Moslems, killing of persons who change their religion, killing of homosexuals, valuing women half of a man, killing of children by their fathers or grandfathers, selling daughters at any age for marriage, execution of children , state sponsorship of terrorism and support of religious terrorism worldwide to export the divine rule is considered legal and in accordance to the religious order.
4- Human Rights violations by the Islamic "Republic" of Iran have reached an unprecedented colossal level of cruelty and barbarism.
5- We further recognize bombing Iran and its infrastructure will drive a wedge between the Iranian people who are the most pro-American nation in the Middle East if not in the world and the west.
6- We have come to the conclusion that the only way to deal with this unelected and undemocratic regime is to deal with it strongly and with a comprehensive set of measures.
The measures that we recommend and strongly advocate are as follows:
* Stop, with immediate effect, all international trades with the undemocratic Islamic “Republic” of Iran.
*Stop the purchase of oil from Iran and refrain from signing any new contracts and renewal of any existing ones.
* Blockade Iran’s ports in the Persian Gulf and possibly the Caspian Sea allowing passage of food and medicine. *Stop all IRI satellite TV and Radio programming to the outside world.
* Cease all Mullahs personal assets outside Iran including its support organization such as Alavi Foundation in New York City.
* Freeze IRI assets outside of Iran and impose prohibition on investment, a travel ban, and asset freezes for government leaders and nuclear scientists.
* Worldwide announcement to all nations that any deals and contracts made with IRI (Islamic Republic of Iran) by any entity is null and void. The IRI does not represent Iranians.
* Publicly identify known IRI agents, arrest and prosecute their agents abroad as promoters of international terrorism and abusers of human rights. Shut down all illegal unregisterd agent organizations representing IRI interests, their lobbyist and apologists.
* Close or limit Islamic Republic’s embassies and its activities including travel limits on Iranian diplomats.
* Release the frozen assets of Iran to the IRI opposition to be spent on strike funds and promotion of democracy.
* Expel IRI representatives from UN since the IRI constitution is contrary to the UDHR (Universal Declarations of Human Rights).

Please remember; the key to salvation of Iraq is also in freedom of Iran. The freedom-loving countries of the world must unite and assist Iranian people to end this embarrassment to humanity and civility called Islamic Republic and allow Iran to come back to the arms of the civilized nations. In helping us, you have stopped the violence in Iraq and have made Iran reach democracy with minimum bloodshed and have preserved the peace and freedom worldwide. God Bless all of peace and freedom-loving people.

Sincerely,

Iran Mullahs Anti-War Campaign

Feb 16, 2006

Dear worldwide friends

Please take a look at the petition. Although I don't know most of the signatories to this, but the names of Ladan Afrasiabi and Ramsey Clark send shivers down my spine as they are the biggest IRI supporters. It is needles to say that Ladan Afrasiabi has been working in tandem with Hooshang Amirahmadi promoting IRI interests and Ramsey Clark whose role in bringing Khomeini to power is known to all Iranians. Ramsey Clark is one of the defense attorneys for Saddam Hussein and has called for Washington to be put on trial.I oppose war against Iran because of innocent people getting hurt and I believe in the fact that Iranian problem must be solved by the Iranian people . We can and we will overthrow the killer mullahs, but in the process we need the moral and political support of the international community. I sense Islamic Republic of Iran being behind this petition.The IRI regime sooner or later will drag the Iranian nation into a devastating war, it is not because the US government is a Warmonger, but rather mullahs provocation to instigate a war. The mullahcracy regime is and has been unable to govern Iran.
The Iranian nation is suffering economically, socially, politically from the injustices imposed by the mullahs upon them. The Islamic thugs have been conducting clandestine nuclear activities for the past 18 years. The Iranian Talibans have been supporting international terrorism for the last 27 years. They have killed, maimed, tortured and imprisoned hundreds of thousands of Iranians since coming to power in1979. Unable to solve any of Iranian internal problems, the mullahs are seeking a war to blame their shortcomings on it as they did with Saddam Hussein?s invasion of Iran provoked by Akoond Khomeini.The Iranian people are the most pro-American nation in the Middle East if not in the world. The Iranian Talibans have 70 million sworn enemies at home! The only reason the mullahs are seeking nuclear weapons is to be able to suppress and kill dissidents while the world would remain silent fearing their atomic bombs and their terrorist network throughout the world.Make no mistakes about it, the mullahs will use the nuclear arms to annihilate Israel and demolish any western or regional government preventing them from exporting their revolution and brand of Islam. The Iranian people need your help to rid themselves of their terrorist rulers.This petition is an anti-American propaganda. The US government is not waging a campaign of sanctions, hostility, and falsehood against the people of Iran. On the contrary President Bush in his 2006 State of the Union speech said:
"....The same is true of Iran, a nation now held hostage by small clerical elite that is isolating and repressing its people. The regime in that country sponsors terrorists in the Palestinian territories and in Lebanon -- and that must come to an end. The Iranian government is defying the world with its nuclear ambitions -- and the nations of the world must not permit the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons. America will continue to rally the world to confront these threats. And tonight, let me speak directly to the citizens of Iran: America respects you, and we respect your country. We respect your right to choose your own future and win your own freedom. And our nation hopes one day to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran...."His message is loud and clear to our nation and is appreciated. The Iranians need the international assistance to regain their liberty.Once again I reiterate my anti-war position but I feel that this petition is backed by desperate despots in Tehran.Shortly I shall organize a worldwide petition drive asking the world community to help Iranians in their quest of freedom, meanwhile I condemn this Anti-Iranian/Anti-American petition by the likes of Ramsey Clark.Respectfully SubmittedRamin Etebar, MDIranian-American physician,Human Rights and political activist

Reflecting Back On A 16 Year Old Girl’s Execution

The Heartbreaking And Enraging Story of a 16 Year Old Girl’s Execution Past Sunday in the Town of Neka
On Sunday August 15, 2004, a 16 year old girl by the name of Atefe Rajabi, daughter of Ghassem Rajabi, was executed in the town of Neka, located in the province of Mazandaran, for “engaging in acts incompatible with chastity”. The execution was carried out by the order of Neka’s “judicial administrator” and was approved by both the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic and the chief of the nation’s “judiciary branch.” Although according to her birth certificate she was only 16 years old, the local court falsely claimed that she was 22. Three months ago, during her appearance before the local court, fiercely angry the young girl hurled insults at the local judge, Haji Reza, who is also the chief judicial administrator of the city, and it is said as another expression of protest took off some of her clothes in the courtroom. This act by the young girl made the administrator so furious that he evaluated her file personally and in less than three months received a go-ahead from the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Court for her execution. The animosity and anger of Haji Reza was so strong that he personally put the rope around the girl’s delicate neck and personally gave the signal to the crane operator, by raising his hand, to begin pulling the rope. It may be noted that although according to the Islamic Republic’s own penal laws the presence of an attorney for the defense [is supposed to be] mandatory, regardless of the defendant’s ability to afford one, nevertheless the girl remained without an attorney. Her unfortunate father, while tears poured from his eyes, went about the city beseeching the townspeople for money to hire an attorney who in the least would provide his daughter with a line of defense. The young girl was buried the same day after her execution but during that same night her corpse was disinterred by unknown individuals and robbed. The theft remains unexplained and the Rajabi family has filed a complaint. The 16 year old girl’s male companion, who had been arrested as well, received 100 lashes and, after the Islamic punishment was carried out, released.

Dear My Fellow Freedom Loving Activists,

The murderous mullahs of Iran have executed another minor. The interviews of locals in the city of Neka conducted by Radio Farda revealed that this child was either mentally retarded or was suffering from a psychiatric illness. As a physician and human right’s activist I can not express my outrage enough. The terrorist regime in Iran has been killing children for the past twenty five years. The virgin girls are raped by these Islamic hooligans the night before their execution in order to” prevent them from going to heaven”. We the Iranian people hold the E.U. and corporate sponsors of the terror regime responsible for continuation of tyrannies in Iran. Please do your humanitarian share of responsibility and forward this content to the press, multinational corporations and government officials of your country of residence. May god bless the souls of the genocide victims of the I.R.I.

Islamist Regime Of Iran May Seal off Strait of Hormuz

Warning: http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasen/spages/674159.html

The IRI thugs in a last ditch effort to bring death and destruction to Iran, have been threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz. It is imperative that the Iranians overthrow this regime before the IRI government provokes an attack on Iran by the West. The nuclear gridlock and the threats to cut off the flow of oil to the West will soon lead to war! Iran remains the world’s number one despotic regime in the world which is second to none for its track record of human rights violations, dictatorship and state sponsorship of terrorism. Thanks to inept western strategists, Iraq has been presented to Iran on a silver platter! With growing Iran’s influence in Iraq, use of the petroleum, nuclear and terrorism weapons, Iran is well on its way to become the evil empire! With removal of Saddam Hussein, the regional balance of power eliminated. The Americans and the British have been unable to keep Iran in check due to Iran’s meddling in Iraq and thus creating a quagmire for the westerners. Iran’s support for the Iraqi turmoil is actually being given to their co-religionists the Shiites. The leading Shiite party in Iraq the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution (SCIR) is led by by people who spent the Hussein years in Iran while their private army the Badr brigade is funded by Iran. Of course Iran could and probably is playing both sides of the street by giving aid to the insurgency as a means of pressuring the USA to leave. The US in fact is powerless to do anything about Iran's meddling in Iraq or its nuclear ambitions. One of the unintended consequences of the Iraq war, combined with the spike in oil prices, has been to make Iran the pre-eminent power in the Middle East and one that is untouchable by the US or its client state Israel because of the potential impact on oil supplies. Neither would US or world opinion tolerates another US inspired pre-emptive war in the Middle East. The Bush administration's actions in Iraq have, to use the technical term, left us screwed. Their general dumbness in the Middle East and in the wider effort to contain terrorism is breathtaking; every action they take seems to be aimed at increasing the effectiveness of our opponents. With ever increasing west’s dependence on the Middle Eastern oil, geopolitically speaking the Persian Gulf must become a safe zone to insure free passage of oil through the Straits of Hormuz . Geographically it dominates the northern shores of the Persian Gulf, with command of the Strait of Hormuz, the most important chokepoint in the globe. It is within easy striking distance of about 50 percent of the world's oilfields: those in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE. It also is a bridge between two very important energy zones of Central Asia and the Persian Gulf. The West has vital interests in the Middle East. The Middle East is the center of gravity of international politics. Iran is the center of gravity of the Middle East. None of the current problems in the Middle East and the Islamic World can be resolved unless there is change in Iran. Iran is run by a very nasty regime of fundamentalist but corrupt religious zealots that threat the security of the region as well as the rest of the world. It is imperative that the Iranian problem be solved by the Iranian hand and the international community to help them to get rid of this geopolitical tumor.

Iran May Seal off Persian Gulf

January 24, 2006
Ha'aretz Yossi Melman
http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasen/spages/674159.html

senior Iranian official threatened that Tehran may forcibly prevent oil export via the Straits of Hormuz if the UN imposed economic sanctions due to Iran's nuclear program, an Iranian news Web site said on Monday. This is the first time an Iranian official makes military threats in a public statement on Tehran's recent disagreements with the West. The news site, affiliated with the radical student movement in which President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was once a member, quoted Mohammed-Nabi Rudaki, deputy chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission. According to the report, Rudaki said that "if Europe does not act wisely with the Iranian nuclear portfolio and it is referred to the UN Security Council and economic or air travel restrictions are imposed unjustly, we have the power to halt oil supply to the last drop from the shores of the Persian Gulf via the Straits of Hormuz." 25% of the world's oil production passes through the Straits of Hormuz, which connect the Persian Gulf with the Indian Ocean. The meaning of Rudaki's threat is that not only will Tehran stop its oil production from reaching the West, it may also use force to prevent the other oil prodoucers in the region (the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait) from exporting to the West. Raduki also warned that his country might quit from its membership in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Iran's threat merits hard line

By Boston Herald editorial staff
Sunday, August 21, 2005

Iran's cocky new hard-line government has raised the stakes in the dispute over its nuclear program with a threat to close the Strait of Hormuz. The Bush administration must make clear that such an action would mean a war to keep open the oil lifeline of the world. During the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, the U.S. Navy patrolled the Arabian Gulf (to which the strait leads) to keep the oil flowing and even sank a few small Iranian vessels. A warning to Iran - which could be delivered quietly at first - might well combine a reminder of those days and a caution that the next time hostilities would not be confined to small boats at sea but would include all of Iran's air force and naval assets. Through the straits pass tankers from Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq, carrying about one barrel in every four produced on the planet. If Iran means to include its own shipments in the threat, that would make the flow about 30 percent of the world total. Interrupting this for any length of time would amount to ``actual strangulation'' of the world economy, as Henry Kissinger noted more than 30 years ago. Perhaps emboldened by high oil prices, Mohammad Saeedi, spokesman for Iran's Center for Nuclear Energy, was quoted by The Wall Street Journal as saying, ``We have told the Europeans very clearly that if any country wants to deal with Iran in an illogical and arrogant way we will block the Strait of Hormuz.'' Iran has been negotiating with Britain, France and Germany, who with the United States want Iran to give up plans to manufacture nuclear fuel to remove all possibility that the country, which has lied for almost 20 years about its nuclear activities, could some day build a bomb. Britain, France and Germany should make clear that the oil threat will not deter them in the least from seeking sanctions in the United Nations Security Council if need be.

Iran denies reports on threat to block Hormuz Strait

TEHRAN, Aug. 20 (Xinhuanet) -- Iran on Saturday strongly denied a recent Western media report that its top nuclear official had threatened to block Hormuz Strait if its nuclear standoff could not be settled, the official IRNA news agency reported. Some Western media, including the Wall Street Journal, had recently quoted Mohammad Saeedi, deputy chief of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO), as saying that Tehran would block Hormuz Strait if Iran were dealt with in an illogical and arrogant way on the nuclear issue. The IAEO denied Saturday in a statement that "foreign newspapers affiliated to certain lobbies have attributed such a statement to Saeedi to misrepresent the region as a trouble spot. "Saeedi himself also said that he had not spoken about Hormuz Strait so far, IRNA said. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefialso told his weekly news briefing that the report about Saeedi's comments has been "imprecise and misinterpreted". Hormuz Strait, the waterway from the Gulf to the India Ocean, plays a considerable role in the global transportation of oil. The Iranian nuclear standoff has been escalated since Tehran on Aug. 8 defiantly resumed uranium conversion activities in the central city Isfahan and rejected a comprehensive nuclear proposal made by the European Union (EU). The EU and the International Atomic Energy Agency have urged Iran to reestablish the suspension on its sensitive nuclear activities, which has been rejected by Tehran.

Hormuz Strait

http://i-cias.com/e.o/hormuz.htm

Strait separating the Persian Gulf to the west and the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea to the east. The strait touches Iran to the north and Oman to the south (the peninsula of Musandem). The length is defined to be about 280 km, and the width is at the smallest only 50 km. The strait of Hormuz is of great strategical importance, as it is the only sea route where oil from Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, as well as most of United Arab Emirates can be transported. Three islands were seized by Iran in 1971: Tunb Kabir, Tunb Saghir, and Abu Musa. These are claimed by the United Arab Emirates, but there have never been any fights over them.

Option Of Closing Off The Shipping Route

http://www.answers.com/topic/strait-of-hormuz

In a press conference on December 18, 1997, Iranian deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Maleki said that Iran supported the free flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, but reserved the option of closing off the shipping route if it is threatened.

World Oil Transit Chokepoints

http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/choke.html

The following presents information on major world oil transit centers. Over 35 million barrels per day (bbl/d) pass through the relatively narrow shipping lanes and pipelines discussed below. These routes are known as chokepoints due to their potential for closure. Disruption of oil flows through any of these export routes could have a significant impact on world oil prices. The information in this report is the best available as of March 2004 and is subject to change. GENERAL BACKGROUND Given the fact that oil consumption occurs mainly in the industrialized West, while oil production takes place largely in the Middle East, former Soviet Union, West Africa, and South America, a significant volume of oil is traded internationally. This oil is moved mainly by two methods: oil tanker ships and oil pipelines. About 2/3 of the world’s oil trade (both crude oils and refined products) moves by tanker. About 43 million barrels per day of that trade is crude oil. Tankers have made global (intercontinental) transport of oil possible; they are low cost, efficient, and extremely flexible. Oil transported by sea generally follows a fixed set of maritime routes. Along the way, tankers encounter several geographic "chokepoints," or narrow channels, such as the Strait of Hormuz leading out of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Malacca linking the Indian Ocean (and oil coming from the Middle East) with the Pacific Ocean (and major consuming markets in Asia). Other important maritime "chokepoints" include the Bab el-Mandab passage from the Arabian Sea to the Red Sea; the Panama Canal and the Panama Pipeline connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans; the Suez Canal and the Sumed Pipeline connecting the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea; and the Turkish Straits/Bosporus linking the Black Sea (and oil coming from the Caspian Sea region) to the Mediterranean Sea."Chokepoints" are critically important to world oil trade because so much oil passes through them, yet they are narrow and theoretically could be blocked -- at least temporarily. In addition, "chokepoints" are susceptible to pirate attacks and shipping accidents in their narrow channels. Not all tanker trade routes use the same size ship. Each route usually has one size that is the clear economic winner, based on voyage length, port and canal constraints and volume. Thus, crude exports from the Middle East -- high volumes that travel long distances -- are moved mainly by VLCC’s (200,000 to 300,000 dead weight tons) typically carrying over 2 million barrels of oil on every voyage. Pipelines, on the other hand, are the mode of choice for transcontinental oil movements. Pipelines are critical for landlocked crudes and also complement tankers at certain key locations by relieving bottlenecks or providing shortcuts. Pipelines come into their own in intra-regional trade. They are the primary option for transcontinental transportation, because they are at least an order of magnitude cheaper than any alternative such as rail, barge, or road, and because political vulnerability is a small or non-existent issue within a nation's border or between neighbors such as the United States and Canada. Pipelines are also an important oil transport mode in mainland Europe, although the system is much smaller, matching the shorter distances.
Iran Builds Cruise Missile

Iran`s threat to Gulf shipping

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary regime last month marked the 25th anniversary of its victory over the Shah by launching a sophisticated missile dubbed Raad and its accompanying advanced radar system designated DM-3b. Minister of defense Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani led the ceremony in full naval dress uniform. To subscribe to DEBKA-Net-Weekly click HERE . The official handout described the radar system as navigating and guiding the combatant missile in its final stage. The medium-range Raad missile is equipped with a self-guidance device. Shamkhani enthused: the two systems manufactured in Iran’s state aviation industry further enhance the capabilities of Iranian armed forces. What the handout did not reveal was that Raad is no ordinary coastal or shipboard projectile but a cruise missile, capable of halting Personal Gulf shipping by blockading the Hormuz Strait. It can also choke off incoming and outgoing sea traffic via the Shatt al-Arb, Iraq’s only exit point for its oil exports and entrance for its vital imports. DEBKA-Net-Weekly ’s Gulf sources report launching bases for the new missiles are going up at four places on Iran’s Gulf coast: the northern end at Bandar a-Khomeini opposite the mouth of the Shatt al Arb and facing Kuwait and Bahrain, at Bushehr, site of its nuclear reactor, at the big Bandar Abbas naval base and Revolutionary Guards headquarters, and at Bandar e-Lengeh west of Qeshm Island. From these installations, Iranian missiles will cover the tanker and merchant ship lanes leading into the Persian Gulf from the Indian Ocean through the Gulf of Aden. A fifth launching base will be located on the small highly-strategic island of Great Tumb situated just north of the Hormuz Strait at the mouth of the Gulf. According to our military experts, the locations of the new Raad missile bases betray both aggressive intent and determination to defend Iran’s Gulf shore from assault by warships or hostile marine landings. Iran’s military command appears to be preparing the country’s national defenses for an anticipated American attack in the course of 2004 or early 2005. “A Very Suitable Spot For Maritime Guerrilla Warfare”

http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=ia&ID=IA18904

At a lecture at Tehran University on May 23, 2004, Iranian Revolutionary Guards official Dr. Hassan Abassi said: " We have two million Iranians [in the U.S.]. You can be sure that I will recruit from among them guerillas… If America attacks us, don't worry at all. It won't be like what you've seen in Afghanistan and in Iraq. In Southern Iran, we have a 2000-kilometer coast and 36 islands. The average depth of the Persian Gulf is 45-50 meters. The deepest spot there is 94 meters deep, between the islands of Abu Musa and Tonb. This is a very suitable spot for maritime guerrilla warfare. Our special forces are definitely ready for action there. " Through the Straits of Hormuz, 67% of the world's total energy passes… Take a tanker to the Straits of Hormuz and sink it there… When it lies on the surface, half of it will protrude. It will take five months for it to be salvaged. A rise in oil prices, as you have seen, causes the West fever…" [63]

SENATE RESOLUTION 82--EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF THE SENATE TO URGE THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION RELATIVE TO C-802 CRUISE MISSILES (Senate - May 05, 1997) [Page: S3968] Mr. BENNETT (for himself, Mr. D'Amato, Mr. Helms, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Ashcroft, Mrs. Hutchison, and Mr. Brownback) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations: S. Res. 82 Whereas the United States escort vessel U.S.S. Stark was struck by a cruise missile , causing the death of 37 United States sailors; Whereas the China National Precision Machinery Import Export Corporation is marketing the C-802 model cruise missile for use against escort vessels such as the U.S.S. Stark; Whereas the China National Precision Machinery Import Export Corporation has delivered 60 C-802 cruise missiles to Iran for use by vessels of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy; Whereas Iran is acquiring land batteries to launch C-802 cruise missile which will provide its armed forces with a weapon of greater range, reliability, accuracy, and mobility than before; Whereas 15,000 members of the United States Armed Forces are stationed within range of the C-802 cruise missile being acquired by Iran; Whereas the Department of State believes that `[t]hese cruise missiles pose new, direct threats to deployed United States forces'; Whereas the delivery of cruise missiles to Iran is a violation of the Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act of 1992 (50 U.S.C. 1701 note); and Whereas the Clinton Administration `has concluded at present that the known types [of C-802 cruise missiles ] are not of a destabilizing number and type': Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Senate urges the Clinton Administration to enforce the Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act of 1992 (50 U.S.C. 1701 note) with respect to the acquisition by Iran of C-802 model cruise missiles or to carry out an alternative policy that would address such acquisition in a manner similar to that provided for in that Act. Mr. BENNETT. Mr. President, I am submitting today a resolution to address a matter that I consider vital to our national security. I have here a picture of the U.S.S. Stark that was disabled 10 years ago by an Exocet missile fired by the Iranians. Thirty-seven American sailors were killed in this disaster. I call your attention to a new missile patterned after the Exocet, only it is described by its sales brochures as having a `mighty attack capability with great firepower.' This is the C-802, an antishipping cruise missile . The sales group that is touting the mighty power of the C-802 is the Chinese. The Chinese have taken the Exocet and increased its power and increased its deadliness. The C-802 is being shipped. This picture shows a Chinese vessel, on the deck of which there are five smaller vessels, each one of which is equipped with four C-802's. You can see them on the back of the ships. These are the smaller ships on the back deck of this larger cargo vessel. Those ships are en route to Iran. The Chinese have now sold to Iran some 60 C-802's for their use in the Persian Gulf. Some 60 are mounted on 15 patrol boats. These patrol boats, again, have four missiles each. If one missile could damage the Stark as badly as we saw in the first picture, you see what 15 missiles could do. But the Chinese are not stopping with shipboard missiles . Here is an example of a land-based C-802, and the Chinese are now in the process of selling these to the Iranians. Why should we be concerned about the land-based C-802? Here is a map of the Persian Gulf. This land mass is Iran. There are 500 miles of Iranian coastal waters facing the Persian Gulf. This is the Strait of Hormuz through which a very large percentage of the world's oil must go every day, something in excess of 25 percent. The Iranians have repeatedly threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz if the rest of the world does not do what Iran wishes it to do in a variety of ways. We heard such a threat, again, over the weekend with the Iranians saying that if the Americans were to try to take any kind of retaliatory action against Iranian terrorism, they would close this Strait of Hormuz. With land-based C-802's, they could hide them in caves or put them in other locations all along this 500-mile area, so that any shipping coming out of Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, or Saudi Arabia into the Persian Gulf would be vulnerable to an attack from a land-based C-802. With 15 patrol boats, each one having 4 missiles , or 60 sea-based missiles , the Iranians could actually attack from either side, having the patrol boats out here on one side of the shipping lanes, with the land-based missiles on the other, and effectively seal off the world's supply of oil from the Middle East without too much difficulty. In personal human terms, there are about 15,000 U.S. servicemen and servicewomen within the range of the C-802 missiles in the gulf. Mr. President, there is a law known as the Gore-McCain Act passed in 1992 which says that foreign companies that deliver cruise missiles to Iran are subject to sanctions. I raised this issue with Secretary Albright, and I have raised it since in subsequent hearings. In January, Secretary Albright informed me that the administration will not enforce the terms of the Gore-McCain Act on the grounds that the missiles are not `destabilizing.' I am not quite sure what the word `destabilizing' means in this kind of a circumstance, but that is where the administration has chosen to come down. I believe that a nondestabilizing missile can be just as deadly to a ship as a destabilizing missile . Once a missile is fired, it knows no semantic definition, as it goes on its course for a kill. Ask the sailors on the Stark whether the presence of the Exocet missiles were destabilizing in the circumstance in the Middle East or not. Thirty-seven of them are dead. Given our obligation to those that we would place in harm's way in the name of this country, I believe the time has come to put this issue on the front burner. I have asked the administration about it. I have used the congressional oversight circumstance to bring it to their attention. Now, Mr. President, today, I submit a resolution outlining the sense of the Senate that the administration either enforce the Gore-McCain Act in this circumstance or take some other appropriate action. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the letter which I sent to Madeleine Albright on the 17th of April and a fact sheet relating to the C-802 missile be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: C-802 FACT SHEET U.S.S. Stark: American Navy escort vessel struck by two Exocet type cruise missiles in May 1987 killing 37 sailors and disabling the ship for sixteen months. C-802: Chinese cruise missile similar to the Exocet and marketed for use against naval escort vessels. According to its manufacturer, the China National Precision Instrument Import-Export Corporation, the C-802 is characterized by `mighty attack capability, great firepower.' It has a range of 120 km [75 miles] and a high explosive warhead of 165 kg [363 lbs.]. Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy: Iran is believed to possess sixty C-802 missiles aboard 15 Chinese and French missile boats. Land-based Variant: Iran is believed to be acquiring an undetermined number of C-802 missiles which will be mounted on Transporter-Erector-Launchers [TELs]. For over a year Iran has been constructing tunnels and other fortifications along its Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman coastlines which could accommodate these TELs. Threat to U.S. forces: 15,000 U.S. servicemen and women are potentially within range of these missiles . On April 11, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Robert Einhorn told the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, `These cruise missiles pose new and direct threats to deployed U.S. Forces.' During 1996 Admiral Scott Redd, Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Fifth Fleet declared the missiles to be a `360 degree threat which can come at you from basically anywhere at sea in the gulf or out in the Gulf of Oman.' U.S. Law: The Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act of 1992 (50 U.S.C. 1701 note) prohibits foreign persons from delivering advanced conventional weapons, including cruise missiles , to Iran. Administration Position: The Administration `has concluded at present that the known types [of C-802 missiles ] are not of a destabilizing number and type.'

Iran: We'll Shut Down Straits of Hormuz

Reprinted from NewsMax.com
Thursday, Jan. 26, 2006 9:24 a.m. EST http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/1/26/92748.shtml

senior Iranian official is threatening to close the Straits of Hormuz using military force, which would effectively shut down the Persian Gulf oil supply - if European supports economic sanctions against Iran in a bid to halt Tehran's nuclear program. "If Europe does not act wisely with the Iranian nuclear portfolio and it is referred to the U.N. Security Council and economic or air travel restrictions are imposed unjustly, we have the power to halt oil supply to the last drop from the shores of the Persian Gulf via the Straits of Hormuz," said Mohammed-Nabi Rudaki, deputy chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission. According to the Israeli News service Haaretz, which first reported the threat on Tuesday based on an Iranian news account - this is the first time an Iranian official has publicly issued a military threat. Twenty-five percent of the world's oil production passes through the Straits of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean. If Iran were to carry out such a threat, other big oil producers in the region, such as the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, would be unable to export oil. Raduki also warned that his country might resign its membership in the International Atomic Energy Agency and withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

What Islam says about killing non-Muslims?

Muslims generally claim, “Islam is peaceful and does not permit killing humans” but this is a blatant lie, in contradiction to their Allah’s commands in the Quran. This is because there are two types of Muslims a) The vast majority of Muslims do not understand Arabic (are only taught how to recite the Quran in Arabic, like a parrot, minus the meanings and they are the type generally fooled and lied to, by their own Islamic clergy, and make up almost all of Islamic suicide killers) b) The second type of Muslims, who are a small elite minority, do understand (including almost all Islamic clergy), but choose to lie for Allah hoping to get extra merit points selfishly, in defense of Allah, at the expense of the first gullible type of Muslims. They themselves never commit suicide for Allah {Have you ever heard of a Ustaz, Imam, Ulama, Mufti or Kadi sacrifice their generally well-off and polygamous life and commit suicide? The answer is NO.} Then ask yourself WHY. It is because these Islamic clergy are already having the good life at the expense of the Majority Muslims, just like in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, etc. They are generally, the well off, higher echelon, among Muslim societies} It is the first type, {the vast majority}, who swallow everything said by these Islamic clergy, and this gullible type are enticed with the rewards promised by Allah. Islamic suicide killers are generally unmarried young sex-maniac desperados, for whom Allah has promised 72 Houris {voluptuous, young, well-bosomed, pretty virgin girls} and for homosexuals “boys as fresh as hidden pearls” in addition to many other rewards. First, let us see what Allah/Muhammad/Quran/Hadiths actually say to Muslims about murdering non-Muslim men, women and children? There are many such verses to this effect, but I will select only a few here. Quran 2:216 – Allah says, “Warfare is ordained to you (Muslims), though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you;” {This sura means Muslims must fight wars for Allah till eternity, whether they hate it or not} Quran 2:217, 2.244, 3.21, 4.74, 4.84, 4.91, 5.33, - Allah basically commands Muslims to fight and slay (kill) unbelievers (non-Muslims). Quran 3:54 - “…Allah is the best of schemers.” {An accomplice to Murder} Quran 4:76 – “Those who believe (Muslims) do battle for the cause of Allah;” Quran 8:30 - “… and Allah is the best of plotters.” {“Accomplice to Murder”} Sura 8.12; “I will terrorize the unbelievers. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger.” {Allah himself admits, he is a terrorist, & demands torture/killing} Quran 8:39 – “…And fight them (non-Muslims) until persecution (disbelieve in Islam) is no more, and religion is all for Allah…” {No others left-This sura alone, says it all} Quran 8:59 “And let not those who disbelieve, suppose that they can outstrip (Allah’s purpose). Lo! They cannot escape.” 8:60 “Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah.” Quran 9:29 – “Fight against such of those who have been given the scripture (Christians) as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by his messenger, and follow not the religion of Truth (Islam) until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low (admitting readily as low-down to Islam).” Quran 9:73 “O Prophet! Strive (fighting) against the disbelievers (Jews/Christians) and the Hypocrites (Muslim unbelievers); be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is Hell, a hapless journey’s end.” Quran 33:26 “And He brought those of the people of the Scripture (Christians) who supported them down from their strongholds, and cast panic into their hearts (terrorized them). Some ye slew, and ye made captive (slaves) some.” 33:27 “And he caused you to inherit their land and their houses and their wealth, and land ye have not trodden.” {Murder and thievery glorified in Islam by terrorist Muslims} Tabari IX:69 - “Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us (Muslims).” Tabari VIII:141 - “The battle cry of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah that night was: ‘Kill! Kill! Kill!’” Bukhari:V5B59N512 - “The Prophet had their men (Jews and Christians) killed, their woman and children taken captive (as slaves).” Ishaq:489 - “Do the bastards (Jews/Christians) think that we are not their equal in fighting? We are men who think that there is no shame in killing.” {No shame?} Bukhari: V9B87N127 “The Prophet said, ‘I have been awarded victory by terror, so the treasures of the earth are mine.’” {This is clear evidence, by Muhammad’s own admission [mouth] of being a terrorist and a common thief, killing people and stealing from them. This is the example he set for his followers?} From the above sura, it is confirmed and clear that Allah, Muhammad, Quran and the Hadiths demand Muslims to torture and kill non-Muslim men, women and children, until they are no more in existence. So the Islamic suicide killers are just obeying the Evil Islamic dictates, right? {One might ask why does Allah ask Muslims to do his dirty work? Cann’t he do it himself? Where are his powers? Doesn’t this tell you that Allah is a fake?} In Quran 47:7 – “O ye who believe! If ye help Allah, He will help you and make your foothold firm.” {Why does this Allah shamelessly beg Muslims for help to kill unbelievers? Doesn’t this say this shameless Allah is not God, for begging, for Muslim help?} What rewards did Allah/Quran promise Islamic suicide Killers? A) 3:157 “And what though ye be slain in Allah’s way or die therein? Surely pardon from Allah and mercy are better than all that they amass.” B) 3:158 What though ye be slain or die, when unto Allah ye are gathered.” C) 4:74 “…Who so fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him we shall bestow a vast reward.” D) 9:111 “Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Quran…” {The Gospel does not say ‘slay {kill} humans’. This Allah/Quran is lying to the Muslims and it can be verified any time} E) 47:15 – “A similitude of the Garden, which those who keep their duty (to Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of milk whereof the flavor changed not (ferment), and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of clear-run honey; therein for them is every kind of fruit, with pardon from their Lord (Are those who enjoy all this) like those who are immortal in the Fire and are given boiling water to drink so that it teareth their bowels?” {Boiling water for non-Muslims to drink, how kind?} F) Rewards for favors done to Allah – 55:48-58 – “Garden with spreading branches, two fountains flowing, every kind of fruit in pairs, reclining upon couches lined with silk brocade, the fruit of both gardens, therein are those of modest gaze {Hadiths/Islamic Scholars say 72 Houris}, whom neither man nor Jinni will have touched before, (in beauty) like the Jacynth and the coral-stone.” G) Rewards for favors done to Allah – 55: 62-76 - “And besides them {besides 55:48-58} are two other Gardens, dark green with foliage, wherein with two abundant springs, wherein is fruit, the date-palm and pomegranate, wherein (are found) the good and beautiful {72 Houris} – fair ones, close-guarded in pavilions – whom neither man nor Jinni will have touched before them – reclining on green cushions and fair carpets.” {Sura 33:29 also mentions Allah’s rewards} H) Rewards for Homosexual Muslim killers – 56:15-24 – “On lined couches. Reclining therein face to face. There wait on them immortal youths {boys}. With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring. Wherefrom they get no aching of the head {for oral sex} and no madness {allows any which way without complaining}, and fruit that they prefer, and flesh of fowls that they desire. And there are fair ones with wide lovely eyes. Like unto hidden pearls, Reward for what they used to do.” {They used to be Homosexuals on earth} I) Rewards for sex-maniac Muslim killers - 56:28 – “Among thornless lote-trees, and clustered plantains {bananas}, and spreading shade, and water gushing, and fruit in plenty neither out of reach nor yet forbidden, and raised couches: Lo! We have created them a (new) creation {72 Houris} and made them virgins, Lovers, friends…” J) Houris – 83:23-28 – “On couches gazing. Thou will know in their faces the radiance of delight… For this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss.” Isn’t this enough proof of Islamic rewards, to tempt Islamic suicide killers to kill non-Muslim men, women and children? Allah has taken care of all kinds of Male Muslim killers. These verses confirm Islam’s long term plan for this world – make no mistake of this diabolic Islamic plan

Few Interesting Points on IRI constitution:

Article 12th of IRI constitution states that the official religion of Iran is Islam and the Twelver Ja'fari school and this principle will remain eternally immutable. In practice the punishment for changing religion is death. In the article 13th of IRI constitution it is stated that Zoroastrian, Jewish, and Christian Iranians are the only recognized religious minorities. In practice the rest such as Bahais are considered infidels whom are denied their civil rights and killing them has been legal. Article 207 of IRI’s penal code states that if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim he will not be subject to death penalty and article 222 states that anyone who kills an insane individual is not subject to prosecutions. Under article 220 of IRI’s Penal Code, a man who kills his own child or his son's child is not subject to discretionary punishment (qesas). Eye gouging, stoning, executions in public and amputations of limbs are all legal in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In 1988, more than 10,000 of the political dissidents were executed in prison by the order of Khomeini. The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights sufficed by issuing a statement criticizing the IRI regime for this genocide, however this mass murder was legal under Article 186 of IRI penal code which states that any person who is involved with or supports an armed opposition against the Islamic government and the divine rule is subject to capital punishment even though the culprit may not be a direct participant in the armed insurgency. In the regime’s prison’s, young virgin girls are raped in order to prevent them from going to heaven. The dissidents against the divine regime are not permitted entry to the paradise. Article 11 of the IRI constitution referencing Quran’s Al-Anbiya chapter verses 92 states that the Iranian armed forces’ duties are to engage in Jihad (holy war) for god and to promote the divine rule throughout the world. Based on that verse the Moslems must be armed with the most modern weapons to frighten the enemy and kill the infidels. Therefore regime’s quest to acquire nuclear weapons meaning the most modern arsenal is a divine matter under the god’s direction and is the rule of law, thus chanting slogans of death to America and Israel. They believe that the citizen’s of these countries should be killed. One of the required principals in Shia Islam is Taghieh, which means that they lie even under oath, when they think their action is helping Islam. Therefore when the regime leaders are under pressure to sign an agreement, they submit only to perform Taghieh and do the exact opposite at a later time!

Do you still want to sign an agreement with the Iranian mullahs?

Dear Aljazeera

I posted the following comments three times and you did not publish it, while you published asinine hateful messages! It appears that you are not interested in the truth especially concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran. Is it the censorship arm of the mullahs that is controlling you or are you head over the heels in love with the IRI terror regime? The Iranian Mullahs are unable to govern and for past 27 years have run the country to a morbid state. It was apparent from the beginning that they were unfit for the job, however Sadam Hussein’s invasion of Iran bought them many extra years of ruling by blaming all their failures on the war. The war was god sent, the Mullahs imported 5,00,000 plastic keys from Taiwan, putting them around the young and the uneducated’ necks’ telling them it was the key to heaven’s gait for the time that they become martyrs. The IRI regime is highly unstable; their biggest threats are from the younger generations who compromise the majority of the population in Iran. The youngsters’ future is uncertain with no jobs, inadequate means for higher education, starting a family and worse of all having all their personal freedom taken away from them. The mullahs are creating conflicts, and crisis to survive, but this time they have gone too far! Not only are they a threat to the westerners, they are also a huge threat for the region and most important of all to the life of the ordinary Iranian citizens themselves. The region governments as well as the US, EU, China and Russia must support the quest of the Iranians for freedom. The Iranian problem must be solved by the Iranian hands. The Iranians are fed up and ready to revolt, but lack money and logistics. The focus of problem solving should be turned toward the IRI opposition. Time is running short, violence will soon erupt, destabilize the region to a major aerial conflict or possibly the WWIII . This is a huge price to pay vis-à-vis not helping Iranians to get rid of the menace to the region as well as the world!

IRI elements assault Iranian

Dear Mr. President

What I am about to report is a sad day in the American history that requires your immediate action to protect the the US constitution specifically the First Amendment. A group of Iranian Americans composed of TV journalists and political activist who had gathered in front of the Commerce Plaza Hotel (Los Angeles suburb) to protest and report the conduction of the sham Iranian presidential elections were assaulted by the hotel security on the command of IRI thugs in US. According to Ms. Dokhi Abdi; a political activist and Iranian satellite TV reporter and commentator in Los Angeles, upon the arrival of the group to the Commerce Plaza Hotel where the elections for the Iranian presidential election was being conducted, the group of 12 activists and journalists were intercepted by the hotel security and a valid Iranian passport was demanded from them in order to allow entry to the hotel. Soon after several Iranians who were in charge of the event in the hotel were called to the scene; upon their determination that this group of 12 were Iranian dissidents as well as Iranian Americans who are against the IRI (Islamic Republic of Iran) the hotel security attacked the dissidents and journalists. According to Ms. Abdi, the hotel security attacked Nasrin Mohammadi whose two of her brothers are political prisoners in Iran to confiscate her video camera as a result of this she fell from a platform. Ms. Firozeh Ghafarpour (another TV journalists and political activist) started to protest this; she was then viciously attacked with pepper spray. At this point Ms. Dokhi Abdi told the security that she was a reporter and that she was there to report the event, upon stating this she was attacked and she was sprayed in the mouth. Several other individuals were beaten and hand cuffed. As I write this the victims are being treated in a local hospital emergency room. Mr. President, I, as an Iranian American, as a republican, as one of your constituents, as one of your campaign volunteers, as a political and human rights activist I severely protest this incident. How is this possible to require a valid Iranian passport to gain entry into an American hotel in US soil? How is this possible to allow violation of our First amendment Bill of Rights to freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble? This is an act of terror! What is the American law enforcement agencies are going to do about this? What is the US Department of State is going to do about the Iranian interest section (Under the Embassy of Pakistan) who is organizing these acts of terror? Mr. President, actions speak louder than words! What are you going to do about this?

Sincerely yours,

A 14 year old boy is sentenced to 85 lashes for breaking his Ramadan fast!!!

UN Secretary General

Dear Mr. Annan

For the past 25 years, the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) has committed the worst crimes against humanity in Iran. The UN's commission on human rights only response has been to issue several statements which have been ridiculed by the IRI. Tens of thousands of men, women and Iranian children have been executed, hundreds of limbs amputated, thousands of people have been tortured and raped in mullahs prisons. Eyes have been gouged out, many people have been stoned, and tens of tens of thousands have been disabled due to physical and mental torture. Despite all these crimes against humanity and tyranny, the international community only suffices to issuing statements. On November 11,2004, The Islamic Republic of Iran committed a murder in public. One that didn't make the headlines and was not shown on TV screens, and the public were not given the chance to sigh in horror at the brutality of this murder. The case I want to highlight is that of a 14 year old boy in Iran, who died after receiving 85 lashes. The mullah in Sanandaj had sentenced the boy because he had broken the fast in public view during the month of Ramadan. Imagine how the poor boy suffered the excruciating pain of each lash and how he collapsed to his death in front of the tearful eyes of his parents. The murder could have easily been stopped, had the executioners had an ounce of humanity in them and recognised the obvious signs of the impending death in the boy. But in the dark minds of the executioners, the 14 year old boy, had violated "God's law" by biting into a sandwich. In their warped minds, he deserved the slow, painful death, and they were happy to carry out "God's law". It seems that in his case the world doesn't care about him, it is more fashionable to think about the throat cutting insurgents of Fallujah! I am appalled at the silence of the UN and the European union.
Sincerely yours,

14-year-old boy ‘flogged to death’ by para-military police in western Iran Thu. 25 Nov 2004

Iran Tehran, Nov. 25 - New information has come to light over the sudden death of a 14-year-old schoolboy in western Iran, who died after being flogged for “eating in public” during the holy Islamic month of Ramadan. Kaveh Habibi-Nejad died Nov. 12 and was buried in the cemetery of the Kurdish city of Sanadaj on Nov. 13, according to his death certificate. The new information is the official report by the coroner’s office in Sanandaj. The report states that the boy died “as a result of brain hemorrhage, after the back of his skull was fractured by a blow from a hard object”. Eye-witnesses had previously reported that Kaveh lost consciousness while being flogged by agents of Law Enforcement Forces, Iran’s paramilitary police force. They said they believed he died because “the metal cable being used to flog him hit his head”. Flogging young men and teenagers in public for a range of offenses such as drinking alcohol or eating in public during the fasting season is common in Iranian cities. Eye-witnesses said that before Kaveh was flogged, his punishment was read out by the Chief of Police who announced that Kaveh was to receive “85 blows on the back”.

WE DID NOT START THE FIRE

(The torch is being passed from one generation to another for over a Century)

On the eve of the 100th anniversary of the Constitutional Revolution of Iran (August5, 1906); Iran remains the world’s number one despotic regime
in the world which is second to none for its track record of human rights violations, dictatorship and state sponsorship of terrorism.
Thanks to inept western strategists, Iraq has been presented to Iran on a silver platter! With growing Iran’s influence in Iraq, use of the petroleum, nuclear
and terrorism weapons, Iran is well on its way to become the evil empire!

With removal of Saddam Hussein, the regional balance of power eliminated. The Americans and the British have been unable to keep Iran in check due
to Iran’s meddling in Iraq and thus creating a quagmire for the westerners. Iran’s support for the Iraqi turmoil is actually being given to their co-religionists the Shiites. The leading Shiite party in Iraq the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution (SCIR) is led by by people who spent the Hussein years in Iran while their private army the Badr brigade is funded by Iran. Of course Iran could and probably is playing both sides of the street by giving aid to the insurgency as a means of pressuring the USA to leave. The US in fact is powerless to do anything about Iran's meddling in Iraq or its nuclear ambitions. One of the unintended consequences of the Iraq war, combined with the spike in oil prices, has been to make Iran the pre-eminent power in the Middle East and one that is untouchable by the US or its client state Israel because of the potential impact on oil supplies. Neither would US or world opinion tolerates another US inspired pre-emptive war in the Middle East. The Bush administration's actions in Iraq have, to use the technical term, left us screwed. Their general dumbness in the Middle East and in the wider effort to contain terrorism is breathtaking; every action they take seems to be aimed at increasing the effectiveness of our opponents.

With ever increasing west’s dependence on the Middle Eastern oil, geopolitically speaking the Persian Gulf must become a safe zone to insure free passage of oil
through the Straits of Hormuz . Geographically it dominates the northern shores of the Persian Gulf, with command of the Strait of Hormuz, the most important chokepoint in the globe. It is within easy striking distance of about 50 percent of the world's oilfields: those in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE. It also is a bridge between two very important energy zones of Central Asia and the Persian Gulf.
The West has vital interests in the Middle East. The Middle East is the center of gravity of international politics. Iran is the center of gravity of the Middle East. None of the current problems in the Middle East and the Islamic World can be resolved unless there is change in Iran. Iran is run by a very nasty regime of fundamentalist but corrupt religious zealots that threat the security of the region as well as the rest of the world. It is imperative that the Iranian problem
be solved by the Iranian hand and the international community to help them to get rid of this geopolitical tumor.

In order to topple the IRI regime, Iranians need to revert to Mashroteh (constitutional) movement platform, an ideal that was never realized and our great ancestors dreamed, planned and wished for our beloved Iran. It is not about monarchy or republicanism; it’s about the true “Constitution.” For which many of them laid their lives for it. The future political system of government shall be decided by the Iranians in a free and unbiased referendum. This paper will represent the first in series of papers to follow regarding the true “Constitution.” At the end, our national heroes were assassinated, defeated, forced to exile, ridiculed or destroyed. Their true “Constitution” was hijacked, revised, and diluted. The new version, executed by Mullah’s, written and backed by the British government was implemented.
THIS IS THE STORY OF REAL MASHROOTEH. NOT WHAT HAS BEEN INTRODUCED TO THE PUBLIC AS “MASHROOTHEH”. THE REAL STORY AND THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION WRITTEN BY OUR FOREFATHERS.

Quest for Freedom

An idea is born

It is the turn of the century. The world has officially welcomed the 20th Century. The Industrial Revolution is in full speed in Europe. Persia (Iran) had missed the boat through inept Government, bad management, corruption, religious ignorance, closed door policy and foreign intervention / domination. It is worth noting that during the period of 1850 to 1875 the corrupt Ghajar dynasty was ruling Persia (Iran). The majority of the land was under a Feudal system of ownership with the people living/working on that land. The tribes in Iran are numbered in millions. They are called “Ashayer.” Some of the tribes are ruled fairly but the rest fair no better than their Feudal cousins. The entire population is under the grips of Mullah’s and their traditional Maddrassa teachings through their local mosques. The Mullah’s have the support of the Shah and the Feudalist. For a country that does not speak Arabic, The Mullah’s are sole Middlemen between people and God. It is they who interpret the words of God from Arabic to Farsi. It is they who instruct people of “do”s and “don’t”s of every day life. The Mullah’s function is to keep the people in total ignorance benefiting every one else except the General Public. In return The Mullah’s are rewarded by the foreign powers wishing to maintain their holdings by having masses to be silent, by the Shah and his court and finally, the major Feudal land owner and their immediate families.
The foreign powers active in Persia at that time were the Imperialist English and Russians. Unofficially, Iran was divided into two spheres of influence, the czarist Russian were influential in the Northern part of Iran and the English in the South.
The Capital was in Tehran, since it was moved a while back from Tabriz. The State of the Country under the Ghajars’ Shahs was very tragic at best since the monarchy had no money and no real power. During this period the major source of income for the Shahs’ was selling the control of various branches of government, military and police positions in the country. By doing so, they gave free reigns to the people who have purchased the positions. They, in turn collected self imposed taxes and revenues to pay the Shah for keeping their positions and accumulating wealth. Thus, adding more to the corruption and the misery of the population. On the whole, The Shahs after years of ignorance resulting from their traditional schooling in Madressa and their Mullah teachings are no better than uneducated masses they rule. “Nasser al din Shah”, the third Shah in the Ghajar dynasty, discovered the pleasures of traveling abroad. This particular Shah exhausted the funds in the national treasury and asked his government to borrow money from abroad to pay for his ever increasing travels expenses to Europe. The repayment of these so called “Loans” had made Iran bankrupt, as all major sources of income for the country were in direct or indirect control of foreign powers.
The British East India Company with the total support of British government had taken charge of Iran’s southern ports and collection of customs / tariffs. The imperialist Russia had the same arrangements for the Northern ports and collection of customs/ tariffs. East India Company had the monopoly it had created for the major products used in Iran. They ranged from Tea to Sugar and Tobacco. In Persia (Iran), both England and Russia exercised a significant power which affected every aspect of Iranians society. The Shahs were being told by these countries who to select as Prime Minister as well as the members of his cabinet. The only thing the king did was keeping balance in the cabinet by selecting enough number of British backed politicians against the Russian supported ones.
The capitulation law was in full enforcement. Iranians were embarrassed by the fact that their justice system was powerless against the crimes British and Russians citizens did against Persians (Iranians).
There was no regular army as Shah had no money for salaries. The borders of the country were entrusted to the tribes of Persia (Iran) for defending against foreign invaders. Some of these local tribes were directly hired by British or Russians to carry out their missions inside the country. The Shah’s personal army consisted of a small regiment, courtesy of the Imperial Russian government. Who trained and paid the salary of the Kazakh soldiers. In turn the Russians had control over the Northern ports of Iran. The southern Police Force (Later the name was changed to Oman Scouts), controlling the Southern ports of Iran was paid and maintained by the British government and East India Company which was a quasi governmental agency.

Iranians traveling abroad

The only good point coming out of all these was the introduction of the outside world to Persians (Iranians). The isolation and “closed door” policy was no longer applicable. The country needed to establish embassies in Europe, people traveling with the Shah, tradesmen following them started to bring in ideas and products from the European countries which they called “FARANG”. To this date there are jokes passed on from generation to generation about Naaser al din Shah and his travels to Farang. The comical positions they would find themselves as the result of their stark differences between culture, traditions and the western way of life. The flood gates were now open despite the constant complaints, warnings and threats from the Mullah’s (Later, Nasser Al Din Shah lost his life while praying in a holly shrine, over this very same issue after ruling 50 years. The fanatical assassin was instructed and completely under the influence of Mullah’s, while carrying their orders).
The roads were extremely unsafe to travel as bandits were rampant. Each territory had their own set of bandits controlling the roads. The Central Government had no army or money to pursue and catch these road bandits or no desire to do so. Most of these bandits were under the direct control of the governor of that province or did pay money to him and in turn got protection from the governor.
In this environment, some of the well to do families decided to send their children to Europe for better education. At this time Iran’s first Technical school was established by a capable Prime Minister (Later killed by the order of the Shah and the support of Mullah’s) in Tehran. It was called Dar al Founon (founded by the well respected Prime Minister of the Shah’s Court, Amir Kabir) meaning the School for trade and knowledge. However, it was not enough. The elites wanted their children to get the first hand education and the knowledge from Europe or Farangestan. Traveling was not so easy and often very dangerous. There were four routes out of Iran. North, through Russian held territories and Caspian Sea. South, through Persian Gulf and the British controlled section. Going through Afghanistan into India, or through the Ottoman Empire (Present day Turkey) were other alternatives as well. The most frequently route used by these travelers was to go from Teheran to province of Mazandaran by the Caspian Sea. In Anzali Port (Later name changed to Pahlavi Port), take the Russian steamship across the Caspian Sea. Land in Baku, Azerbaijan (At the time, not long ago that province and many others were lost to the Imperialist Russia in the greatest embarrassment our nation ever faced, called Turkeman-Chaye). In Baku, the passenger would board the Trans Russian Railway and go to Saint Petersburg. From Saint Petersburg by steamship or train, they would go to other destinations in the Europe. This journey sometimes taking well over four months to complete as there were no roads or if there were, there was no money to maintain them and depending on the season, it was not easy to travel and always the danger from bandits. Although, once they got to Baku, the rest of the travel would be conducted with certain ease and safety.
The most popular destination for Iranians was France; the center of European civilization, founder of the new Democratic Republic and the keeper of democracy. Many students from Iran ended up in Paris; while there they were absorbed by the higher learning institutions in France. At that time the universal trade and travel language was French. Thus, people not even traveling to France, had started to study French in Persian (Iranian) schools and with private tutors. The well known French literally works were send to Persia (Iran), either in French or translated to Farsi and people began to read about France, the French Revolution, the idea of New Republic, equality, justice and fraternity. What Persian (Iranian) people were reading sounded amazing to them.

End of Part 1 of 3.

To be continued on Part 2 and Part 3 where you will get to see what the true Mashrooteh was all about. The real documents and how it was hijacked.

THE KEY IN SALVATION OF IRAQ IS IN FREEDOM OF IRAN!

The Shame is on you!

To all the Traitors:

I am writing this in response to the traitors who lack logic, reasoning and evidence to support their claims!
Unfortunately, the western media has failed the quest of Iranian’s for freedom and the atrocities committed
to them by the regime in the similar manner that you see in this article: http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2005/10/02/small_rally_big_story_big_rally_small_story/
Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to tell the story through my web site, web log and e-mail list; it is working!
What I publish is based on facts, news reports, official reports, videos and pictures. The arguments are factual and
scientific in comparison to your lies, labeling, rhetoric, finger pointing ,accusations and profanity!
The more you behave in this manner, the louder you scream the stronger becomes my resolve!
I know I am hitting you in the right place!
Truly you are a pathetic bunch!

IRI Apologists

Opinion:

There are three organizations the act as IRI apologists, their activities are extremely harmful for the IRI opposition as well as
the Iranian people. Any attempt to extend the life and sustenance of the Islamic Republic of Iran by any individual or organization results in
more suffering, torture, imprisonment, poverty and death in Iran and Iranians anywhere in the world.
The three organizations are American-Iranian Council (AIC, http://www.american-iranian.org/) , The National Iranian-American council
(NIAC, http://www.niacouncil.org/ ), and the Iranian-American Political Action Committee (IAPAC, http://www.iranianamericanpac.org/index.shtml ).
Although when looking at the IAPAC web site, it appears to involved in benign activities until you check their leadership profile page
(http://www.iranianamericanpac.org/leadership/ov.shtml )! There are multiple individuals with strong ties with the IRI. Mr. Hassan Nemazee who is
a prior member of AIC sits on the board of directors of IAPAC; he sued an Iranian Student organization to suppress their anti-IRI activities according to
the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in IRAN (SMCCDI http://www.daneshjoo.org/ ) .
Hooshang Amirahmadi, the Founder and President of AIC had nominated himself for the past IRI presidential elections.

One case example is the activity of NIAC to derail H.R. 282 / S333. This legislation would reauthorize sanctions against Iran and provide
$10 million (this can be funded from the 37 billion dollars frozen Iranian assets in US) to assist pro-democracy groups opposed to the IRI regime.

Subject: NIAC Alert: Should the US Bomb Iran?

Dear Iranian-American radio stations:

NIAC has prepared an Action Alert, along with four letters for Iranian Americans to send to President Bush, their lawmakers, and their local media on the issue of possible military action toward Iran. These letters are crafted to include the different policy positions that exist on this issue. The letters are also editable, so that personal perspectives can be incorporated. Please note that NIAC has no position on this issue, but facilitates the expression of Iranian-American views.

We would appreciate it if you would distribute this action alert as widely as possible within your networks, listservs, and among your communities. We would also appreciate it if you would link the alert on your websites as well as announce it on broadcasts in Persian and urge Iranian Americans to go to our website (www.niacouncil.org) and send a letter.

http://capwiz.com/niacouncil/issues/alert/?alertid=6837841&type=CU

It is imperative that as many Iranian Americans as possible take action on this issue and make their voices heard.

We appreciate your valuable collaboration on this important issue.

This was followed by sending the following action alerts (http://capwiz.com/niacouncil/mail/oneclick_compose/?alertid=7328161) and petition drive.
On April 20, 2005 the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) issued a news release entitled "Four out of five Iranian Americans oppose H.R. 282 / S333"!
NIAC claims to take no position on issues and only reflecting the views of the respondents to their survey. However, Their "Analysis" was completely one sided throughout. I searched for a counter argument "analysis" and could not find it on their site. Although, they do include a form letter with support language for 282. What is apparent is that they very cleverly write up a lengthy analysis "against" the bill and then, hidden behind pages and several clicks later a letter of support for HR282.

Our mass e-mail response was as follows:

I am a strong supporter of H.R. 282 / S. 333
and
NIAC does not represent me

Dear Madam/Sir:

NIAC recently released a Press Release dated April 20, 2005, in which it claims that there is strong opposition among Iranian Americans to H.R. 282 / S. 333 (Iran Freedom Support Act), a bill that would make regime change official U.S. policy on Iran and eliminate the sunset provision on existing sanctions on Iran.

As a freedom loving and patriotic Iranian-American, who is well informed of the opinions of other Iranian-Americans within U.S., I find the method of NIAC’s findings suspicious, biased and the result of such findings dubious.

Following are my objections regarding NIAC’s Press Release and its survey:

1. NIAC’s survey allows the same person with exactly the same information (name, address, email address, etc.) to vote more than once from the same computer.
2. NIAC’s survey allows non-existing email address for the voter.
3. The voter can be sitting in Chicago but give a postal or residence address in Texas and as long as the zip code is in Texas NIAC’s survey will submit the vote without any objection. In other words, one can be sitting in the office of the cleric rulers in Iran and claim to be Iranian-American residing in Chicago and to pretend that they are residing in U.S. all they need to know is the zip code and for that they can go to http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citystate_responseA.jsp .
4. All the 504 votes, NIAC is claiming to have received, could have very well been cast by one individual and NIAC’s survey does not have the ability or capability to verify the reliability of the voters.
5. NIAC’s Press Release regarding the opponents of H.R. 282 states: “making regime change official US policy on Iran is the equivalent of declaring war. And through war, democracy cannot prevail. They also expressed concerns that a confrontational approach would prompt the Iranian regime to crack down on pro-democracy forces in Iran, making their work to bring democracy to Iran even harder.” NIAC’s Press Release regarding the opponents of H.R. 282 also states: “We should not waste tax-payers’ money on exiled groups that Iranians and Iranian Americans themselves refuse to fund.” However and not to my surprise, I noticed the sample form-letter that NIAC provided for its voters opposing the Bill having exactly the same wording (see http://capwiz.com/niacouncil/mail/oneclick_compose/?alertid=7328161) which states: Making regime change official US policy on Iran is the equivalent of declaring war. And through war, democracy cannot prevail. Such a confrontational approach by the United States will only prompt the Iranian regime to crack down on pro-democracy forces in Iran, making their work to bring democracy to Iran even harder. Did the person who wrote the Press Release also write the sample form-letter for opposing the Bill? Is this how impartial NIAC is?
6. NIAC in its sample form-letter that it provided to the voters opposing the Bill states: “most Iranian opposition groups in exile are neither democratic nor legitimate. We should not waste tax-payers’ money on exiled groups that Iranians and Iranian Americans themselves refuse to fund”. Are we to believe that NIAC is impartial when instead of addressing the Bill in question it attempts to discredit the opposition groups?
7. If according to the sample form-letter provided for the voters, most opposition groups in exile are neither democratic nor legitimate, then what can we call the 4 out of 5 that NIAC claims to be against the Bill? Members of most of the opposition groups (4 out of 5)? Non-democratic and lacking legitimacy?
8. NIAC’s Press Release states: “In 2003, findings from a NIAC letter writing campaign addressing the student riots in Iran during that summer showed 22 percent of Iranian Americans supporting U.S. funding of Iranian opposition groups and satellite TV channels. That number has now dropped to 17.5 percent.” However, going back to NIAC’s Press Release dated January 31, 2005 (see the chart on http://www.niacouncil.org/pressreleases/press244.asp) it shows that suddenly only 8.5 percent of NIAC’s legitimate/democratic (or possibly illegitimate/undemocratic) voters supported US funding of the Iranian exiled opposition. 8.5% only 3 months ago and 17.5% now? Why such discrepancy? Is this not enough proof testifying to the unreliability and fallibility of NIAC’s survey?

NIAC does not represent me and I do not find NIAC as a true representation of the overwhelming Iranian-American living in this country.

As a patriotic Iranian-American I support any legislation including H.R. 282 / S. 333 (Iran Freedom Support Act) that would make regime change official U.S. policy on Iran.

Sincerely,

We also wrote NIAC this letter:

Dear Sir/Madam:

On your press release dated April 20, 2005; you have claimed that” There is strong opposition among Iranian Americans to H.R. 282 / S. 333 (Iran Freedom Support Act), a bill that would make regime change official U.S. policy on Iran and eliminate the sunset provision on existing sanctions on Iran.

As an Iranian American I find your deception appalling and challenge your findings based on the followings:

1- Based on the 504 letters sent from your sample source, how did you establish the naturalization (citizenship) status of your participants that allows you to label the results that of the “Iranian-Americans”?
2- On the bottom of your bar graph (http://www.niacouncil.org/pressreleases/press263.asp) you have stated that “the sample is not scientific”; if so what is the value of this sampling?
3-If you claim usability of your opinion sampling, then what is your statistical validity?
Statistical validity is defined as; the degree to which an observed result, such as a difference between 2 measurements, can be relied upon and not attributed to random error in sampling and measurement. The degree of statistical significance of a result depends upon the number of sampled data points (e.g. the number of users in a test), the size of the effect, and the amount of variation between measurements. Thus, statistical validity can be improved with increased samples, by reducing noise (and thus variation), and by creating as large an effect as possible.
Based on scientific means your opinion sampling is invalid and worthless, yet you state “While the findings from this campaign are not scientific, they do accurately reflect the broad range of views of Iranian Americans of varying political persuasions”.
Attached please find an objection letter from Iranian American Republican Council. I share their sentiments.
As a patriotic Iranian-American I support any legislation including H.R. 282 / S. 333 (Iran Freedom Support Act) that would make regime change official U.S. policy on Iran.
Sincerely

Ramin Etebar, M.D.

The opposing form-letter that NIAC provided their voters was surely very interesting:

http://capwiz.com/niacouncil/mail/oneclick_compose/?alertid=7328161
As a proud Iranian American, I urge you to oppose H.R. 282 (S.333 in the Senate), a bill Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fl) introduced "To hold the current regime in Iran accountable for its threatening behavior and to support a transition to democracy in Iran."

Making regime change official US policy on Iran is the equivalent of declaring war. And through war, democracy cannot prevail. Such a confrontational approach by the United States will only prompt the Iranian regime to crack down on pro-democracy forces in Iran, making their work to bring democracy to Iran even harder.

This pattern is well recognized by now – every time the US has raised the rhetoric on Iran, the first victim has been the indigenous movement for democracy in Iran. Over the last few years, this course of action has helped the mullahs consolidate their control over Iranian society, making the regime stronger and the opposition weaker.

Moreover, most Iranian opposition groups in exile are neither democratic nor legitimate. We should not waste tax-payers’ money on exiled groups that Iranians and Iranian Americans themselves refuse to fund.

I again urge you to oppose this ill-conceived legislation because it only serves to make matters worse. The people of Iran are working every day to gain freedom and democracy. We should not make their work more difficult by passing ill-advised pieces of legislation.

I thank you for your kind consideration.

Notice the highlighted section above. Do I understand it correctly that the 4 out of 5 people who voted against 282 are not part of the opposition group and therefore they are democratic and legitimate? Or, are they members of the least Iranian opposition groups, therefore, they are democratic and legitimate? Now, to NIAC, which opposition groups are really democratic and legitimate and during their past operation, exactly what steps have they taken against IRI to qualify as an opposition group?

Conclusions:

The moral of the story is that the IRI regime apologists derail and obstruct opposition to IRI through dubious methods.
H.R. 282 / S. 333 are not about war or bombings; they are about sanctions, political and economic pressures on IRI as well as funding for the opposition
which can come from our own frozen assets.
Without money the IRI opposition is powerless against the mullahs who are sitting on a sea of oil and gas. Without political and economic pressures on IRI
the West’s only other weapon is war, is this what we want? The short answer is no, but through the stupidity of the mullahs and their agents it might be inevitable!
So, get involve, pass the word around, write your representatives, find out who supports these organizations out side of Iran and ask them to stop funding them.

The strategy of piecemeal protests

In response to” THE KEY TO SALVATION OF IRAQ IS IN REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN”, Oppenheimer from New Mexico wrote the following comments:

When I think about the fact that there's been some 850 protests crushed since the "election”, I got to wonder if those 850 protests had happened simultaneously, in a coordinated and sustained manner, whether they would have been crushed or grown into a total popular revolt involving millions? But the strategy of piecemeal protests has not worked...if the opposition is in a "shell", it is for this reason. It would appear from this poll, that a number of folks now look to outside intervention by physical means from free nations.....but the internal reaction ;I keep hearing is that this would strengthen the regime's support among the population. I wonder if the silent will find voice and lose fear if the IRI pushes the West to military intervention? While I still think the opposition has legs, it obviously cannot succeed without outside help in one form or another. The US and allies may be forced to intervene due to the risk of inaction being too great, given the IRI's intent....and stupidity in thinking it can actually win such a war...time is short, the people must decide if that is an option they would support to see a free Iran, or would national pride cause them to blindly follow the regime's intent? I have to take issue with the premise that the west is solely the creator of this "monster" , not only did it have a life of its own well before WW2, but today's version of it has been in power for some 26 years without internal opposition making a dent in it. It may not have been intelligent policy to "engage" with the regime to try and bring it into a more civilized pattern of behavior, and economics played its part in this....but 20/20 hindsight isn't going to change things now, except for the track to be taken in solution now.

What are your thoughts?

Whose fault is it?


A couple of days ago I received an e-mail from Azordeh khater,the name roughly translates to disheartened , it was also forwarded
to me along with a note from a friend of mine who said “It is truly sad to see the comparison between Mojahedeen (MEK) and Monarchists! It is sad to see Monarchists have stooped so low that now, even a terrorist group is making fun of them and despite of being their enemy, Baztaab, Mr. Rezaei's paper is re-printing the news in Iran. I wonder what is happening. Who are responsible for the demise of Monarchists? What is at stake? If anyone can shed any light on this subject, I will be grateful to know.”
The e-mail from the Disheartened was an open letter to the Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi; expressing dissatisfaction about lack of progress
in the task to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran. I kept thinking to myself what is holding us back? I could think of many reasons, mainly infiltration of MOIS agents among opposition groups, disorganization, infiltration of foreign intelligence operatives, a false belief among Iranians that our future is to be determined in the hands of CIA and MI6; another words London and Washington determining the length of Iranian sufferings, who knows may be almost 27 years is not enough and they want to extend it for another quarter of century?

Given the fact that I have rattled everyone’s cage this week, I will start with our own the monarchists. Being in contact with the opposition groups,
I for one am running out of excuses for our failures. One thing is certain; at this short historic window, we only have the crown Prince who can spearhead the opposition, we can not afford to loose these precious moments! Giving speeches and writing communiqués is not working. He needs to assume a strong leader ship position, and launch an international campaign for the Iranian freedom. He will need an army of volunteers that can perform the task of planning, strategy, and public relations. A small office is inadequate for this major task. The advisory personnel should be increased in number and diversity in background, RP should recall how his late father was separated from the masses, he should remember how those Yes-MEN advisors ran out of the country before HIM the Shah left in exile. Reading Dr. Houshang Nahavandi’s book, The last Days indeed describes the saddest moments in the recent Iranian history. The book describes how the British and US ambassadors advised the Shah not to appoint General Gholam-Ali Oveissi as the prime minister, had been the Prime Minister or allowed to suppress the Islamists; arresting and locking them up the insurgents in a stable (where they belong) would Iran be in the shape that is today?
How many lives would have been saved? I hate to debate loss of Iranians’ life due to war with western powers several years from now. The time to act is now, tomorrow is too late!
If the crown prince builds a strong resistance front people will come! I know we can prevail if we have a strong leadership.

Below is the Azordeh khater’s letter:

Open Letter to Prince Reza Pahlavi

Your Majesty

Attached please note an article published in Baztaab. It is pretty sad for all the supporters of Monarchy to be compared to a low down marked terrorist organization and receive such a treatment. The caricature above sent from Iran reflects dissatisfaction with your performance as the crown prince of Iran.

What we want to know is; isn’t it time to change our strategy? As you are witnessing, what has been done before is not working.

We don't have to refer to Baztaab. The evidence is clear and present on sight for everyone's view, including your kind selves.

The Hunger strike was a total flop. Because, you did not sit under the tent with other strikers and spent 3 days as they did. Coming to the staging area for 15 minutes and leaving would neither escalate the people's sympathy nor their support.

Seeing their leader sitting under the tent and weathering harsh elements like others for 3 days would bring the desired results.

When asked about the reason of the way RP is being displayed momentarily and whisked back to his hotel, we were told due to the "security reasons". Well, this is not good enough answer for the people. They could have made arrangements for the security people to be there and change shifts entire time HIM was fasting with others under the tent.

For us, these were basic and elementary procedures that should have been followed. In turn they were overlooked by the planners (Knowingly or unknowingly) of the subject activity. As we all know, the whole idea was a very good plan. However, the whole intention fired back on us as we all see now.

What we would like to know is; are you planning to continue to do what you have been doing; until the movement is totally run to the ground and dismantled?
If not, we urgently recommend that you invite some of your supporters who are well versed in political planning and related topics to form a think tank assisting you in creating more effective plans and portray a better image of RP in public.

We need to have a large number of people rally behind RP inside of Iran as well as in exile. To achieve this task, HIM will need all the help he can get from his supporters at these critical times.

We understand that RP has top notch people assisting him. They have impressive degrees from well established European centers of higher learning.

However, as you see, it is not working! They are out touch with everyday common and ordinary Iranians. Their intellectual awareness may be high. But, they are out of touch with the people inside of Iran. These advisors have no real plan of action in the most critical time as we are entering.

If our movement fails, no one will see it as the fault of RP advisors, planners and aids. It will all reflect directly on RP himself and his lack of leadership.

Every time we try to complain about the planning and procedures of the events, we are told to mind our own business. RP and RP's office are closed to recommendations.

If we insist more, we are told RP's advisors are the one's that make the policy and there is nothing RP can do about it other than listening to them!

If the staunch supporters get the above mentioned treatment; I hate to see what will be the response to public.

In any event, we see it as our duty to go on the record and point out the downfall's of the current planning' and procedures.

We ask for nothing and are ready to do anything humanly possible to turn the tide around. However, we need open minds to sit and discuss the relating issues.

Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

May God keep our nation and our people safe from the harm of brewing tide in the international arena!

Your loyal supporters

Not A Democrat, Just Sick And Tired Of Liars!


Ambassador H.H in response to jokes on GW wrote and asked me;” Have we Iranians enrolled in American Democratic Party?
If we have not, then why we are bashing G. W. Bush? With this kind of a nonsensical left wing propaganda against him?
The only person that we may have little hope to do some thing about our retched life out of our beloved land?! Since we all know that the DEMOCRATS are our staunch enemy! I simple refuse to distribute this e-mail without my personal comments.”

The short answer is no sir! As matter of fact I have a commendation letter from GW for my efforts on getting him reelected in his second term. Out of hatred for the sleazy Jimmy Carter and his moron national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, I avoid Democrats like a plague. Brzezinski Justified his Islamic Belt Project in his book in this manner "In fact, an Islamic revival - already abetted from the outside not only by Iran but also by Saudi Arabia - is likely to become the mobilizing impulse for the increasingly pervasive new nationalisms, determined to oppose any reintegration under Russian - and hence infidel - control." (p. 133).
The end results were Khomeini, IRI, Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Iran-Iraq war, several million deaths among Iranians Afghanis and Iraqis. Al Qaeda, and September 11 are the byproduct of the Green belt (Russian Beard) project. Where was our vigilance in late 70s?

Having grown up in the West, I don’t have the Persian inhibition, I do not worship ideals! On this year’s state of the union, Bush said” to the Iranian people, I say tonight: As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you.” Yet he tells the congress urging them to hold off on the legislation concerning H.R. 282/S. 333 (http://www.thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/060105/members.html )! Similarly he fails other Middle Eastern nations (http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/631247.html ). The president in the last state of the union said “Iran remains the world's primary sponsor of terror”, yet US sided with Iran last week in a secret vote to downgrade international police alerts calling for the arrest of Iranian officials wanted by Argentina for their alleged role in the 1994 bombing of the Argentina’s Jewish Center (http://forward.com/articles/4035 )!
It seems to me that he is talking from both sides of his mouth. As one of his constituents I question his double talk and integrity until he gets it together.

Who did what and why? Truth or Propaganda

Mr. Rastegar,

Unlike your impression of the monarchists being “devoid of any Principles”, we do have our own red lines that should never be crossed including TREASON, ESPIONAGE, HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, TERRORISM, MURDER and CORUPTION. MEK has done them all! If one day Shahzadeh Reza Pahlavi decides to incorporate them into his camp, then he is on his own as far as I am concerned!

It has been years that I had not wished to argue with the people like you and Mr. Safavi , You are devoid of fact and logic; you only weapon
Is smearing campaign, lies and propaganda! Lately I have changed my mind, looking back at the mistake of 1357 (1979 revolution) I realized that; had our people had bothered To investigate the Afatollah Roh al Eblis Khomeini’s Resaleh and exposed the bastard prior to or during the Fetneh 57, today we would not be in this predicament! For this reason I have decided to expose your lies and deceits.
The 1979 Iranian revolution was not for democracy, it was for greed, the $100/day/person that the con-man Khomeini had promised the people in oil allowance money delivered to their homes.
It was for the promise of free housing, utilities and transportation and you sirs along with your imperialist masters fuelled the mass hysteria by the alleged slaughter and human right abuses. What happened to democracy? What about the freebees? Don’t forget IRI executions, serial killings, disappearances and human right abuses! This is what you brought us! You are the cause of my exile! In November of 1978, the Shah in a famous speech begged the people to settle down and give him time to reform the country, but look what your greed for money and power has brought us! And you cowards destroyed the country and then ran abroad. I was already here, I did not participate in your filthy revolution and from the get go opposed you!
I should not be defending the Shah’s regime since I was only a college student. But the cowards who ran the country fled and handed the government in a silver platter to you thugs failed to do. Some one has to do it, I put my self to the task and I fear no one!

In a typical Hezbollah, MEK and Communist fashion you accuse the monarchists of “an Invasion of Iran by the US, and the bombing of Iran”.
Based on what evidence do you say such a stupid thing a link to my web log (http://freeiranians.blogspot.com/ ) has been included in my
e-mail article and dispatches as well as a link to my web site ( http://iraneman.net/) is listed in my web log.
I advocate solving the IRI problem by the Iranian hand through political support. I oppose military invasion of Iran. I ask the US government to fund the IRI opposition by our own frozen assets in us ( http://www.activistchat.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2646 ) not the US citizen’s tax dollars.

You said” I wished Dr. Etebar learns that no legs of any throne may be upheld in a pool of Iranian blood.” Going back through history; according to Ayatollah Dr. Haeri, The IRI regime in an attempt to disgrace the Shah compiled a list of everyone executed during the 57 years ruling of the Pahlavi Dynesty, the grand total for every one executed for any charges including murder, terrorism, drug trafficking, espionage, armed insurgency came to approximately 3000 people. That is 52.6 persons per year. Given the previous population of 38 million people that is 0.00013% of the population per year!
In regards to Shah’s former political prisoners, what immediately come to my mind are Massoud Rajavi, Ali Khamenei, and Hashemi Rafsanjani,
Can any one blame him for that? They should have been handed down death sentences!

Arguments for Capital Punishment

The pursuit of justice: Although execution of a murderer does not provide full justice for the victim, it is the closest pursuit of justice that would be allowed by the moral sensibilities of most people. Without the use of the death penalty for murder, the injustice against the murder victim continues and increases with time until the murderer eventually dies.
Deterrence — it may deter other people from committing capital crimes, while studies (see above) seem to deny this claim
Prevention — it prevents offenders from ever returning to society, thereby preventing them from further crimes. It also prevents them from killing other inmates and prison employees.
Retribution — the death penalty is imposed as a way of "balancing justice" to a limited degree for the crime committed.
It shows how seriously society looks at the most heinous crimes.
People committing the most heinous crimes (usually murder in countries that practice the death penalty) have forfeited the right to life.
The death penalty shows the greatest respect for the ordinary man's, and especially the victim's, inviolable value.
It strikes fewer "innocent persons" than alternative penalties, as among prisoners and ex-prisoners there are many who relapse into new crimes which, strike additional "innocent persons".
It provides peace of mind for many victims of crime and their families.
It is the most effective way to protect society (its structures and its individuals) from a felon.
It is less cruel than prolonged sentences of imprisonment, especially under the conditions that would be popularly demanded for heinous criminals.
It provides extra leverage for the prosecutor to deal for important testimony and information.
It enjoys democratic support of the people (in countries where this applies).
From an economic point of view, it may be less expensive to execute a convict than to house him or her as a prisoner for life.
Just as the virtuous deserve reward proportionate to their good deeds, so too the vicious deserve punishment proportionate to their bad deeds. One might even hold, with Kant, that respect is shown to the criminal as someone who has chosen a particular path in life by visiting the appropriate punishment on the criminal.
Criminals may be led to rethink and reconcile their lives by the pressing expectation of death.
It upholds the rule of law, because it discourages vigilantism or self-help on the part of the victim's family or friends (in the form of lynchings or the retaining of hit men). If not controlled, such self-help can lead to extremely destructive vendettas or blood feuds.
In some areas where prison overcrowding is becoming a problem, capital punishment is viewed as a way to free up more prison space.
Without the death penalty, a person already serving a life sentence may have no reason not to kill in prison.

According to Amnesty International's annual report on official judicial execution, in 2004 there were 3,797 executions in 25 countries.

In your reference to utopia, there is no such a thing except in philosophy books. Iran had its share of problems, but don’t forget
where we were in 1925 when Reza Shah took over;

Reza Shah

During Reza Shah's sixteen years of rule, major roads and the Trans-Iranian Railway were built, modern education was introduced and the University of Tehran was established. The government sponsored European educations for many Iranian students. Reza Shah backed a strong policy of industrialization, to ensure that the country was not dependent solely on oil and agricultural revenues. He established a modern Iranian armed forces, abolished nationwide feudal local rulers to name a few. The Malaria was eradicated in Iran only to return during the Mullah’s rein. His achievements were great! Prior to him we did not even have city wide water pluming, remember the water storage tanks (Aabanbaar) in the old houses?

Mohammad Reza Shah

During the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah, he made major changes to improve farming by expropriating large and middle-sized estates for the benefit of more than four million small framers, a socialist act if you will. In the White Revolution, he took a number of major modernization measures, including extending suffrage to women. He instituted exams for Islamic theologians to become established clerics ("mullahs"), which were widely unpopular and broke centuries-old religious traditions. This initiated the Khomeini problem in 1964, calling the land division unislamic encouraging the religious fanatics to riot in throughout Iran, burning movie theaters and setting bars on fire. Khomeini was arrested and exiled from Iran. Shah’s policies led to strong economic growth during the 1960s and 1970s

The White Revolution was a far-reaching series of reform programs launched in 1963 by the last Shah of Iran, His Imperial Majesty Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The Shah had intended it to be a non-violent regeneration of Iranian society through economic and social reforms, with the ultimate long-term aim of transforming Iran into a global economic and industrial power. The Shah introduced novel economic concepts such as profit-sharing for industrial workers and initiated massive government-financed heavy industry projects, as well as the nationalization of forests and pastureland. Most important, however, were the land reform programs which saw the traditional landed elites of Iran lose much of their influence and power. Nearly 90% of Iranian share-croppers became land owners as a result. Socially, the platform granted women more rights and poured money into education, especially in the rural areas. The Literacy Corps was also established, which allowed young people to fulfill their compulsory military service by working as village literacy teachers. The White Revolution contributed greatly towards the economic and technological advancement of Iran.
The powerful Shiite clergy were also angered at the reforms that removed much of their traditional powers in the realms of education and family law, as well as lessening their previously strong influence in the rural areas. Severe antagonism towards the White Revolution from the clergy and landed feudalists, would ultimately contribute to the Shah's downfall during the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
You mentioned that “Monarchists are destined to the Past” what you read above is our past; the past shall be our guide to the future!

Q and A with the Thugs, Terrorists and Cultists


Dear Professor Foote

How convenient for Mr. Savafi to label opposition to their cult as “either a paid agent or de facto agent of the Iran's Intelligence Ministry”.
Indeed the US Dept of State’s report describes this cults well as it states “The Mojahedin, for their part, often dismiss their critics as agents of the regime”.
My only take on his response was rhetoric and accusations.

In order to end the MOIS discussion I would like to introduce my background. I came to the States in mid 70s as a high school student in my teenage years.
Soon after the revolution, I and a group of my college buddies started the first Anti-IRI opposition student group by the name of GAMA. We organized the
first Anti-Khomeini demonstration in Los Angeles, a few of us against several thousand pro-Khomeini counter-demonstrators which included the MEK,
Hezbollah and the leftist confederated Iranian students.
Thanks to LAPD protection, I am still alive today to tell you about it. Today, some of my college buddies are
leading major opposition groups both in Republican and Monarchist camps. So as Mr. Rastegar puts it “Your sleaze will not stick”!

Mr. Safavi, please accept my most sincere condolences on the 24th anniversary of his execution by IRI criminals, but your loss and our sympathy
does not justify the atrocities committed by your organization against Iran and Iranians, including MEK dissidents.

Your organization’s crimes are too numerous to count, you can review my critic in the bottom of this e-mail, but in specific I would like you to answer the following questions:
1- As opposition groups to IRI , We all hate the regime, but non of us has committed acts of espionage against our mother land Iran, How do you
Justify MEK spying for the Former Soviet Union, followed by Saddam Hussein and now spilling the beans on Iran’s nuclear secrets?
2- How do you justify attacking Iranian territory from the enemy soil in war time killing innocent Iranian conscript soldiers serving a mandatory military service without pay?
3- How do you defend the fact that you lured Iranian youth to Iraq, promising them money with pay, followed by a political asylum to US and Europe, but when they arrived in Iraq and found the truth, your organization threatened with two years of solitary confinement in camp Ashraf, and the eight years in Saddam’s Abu Ghurayb prison where Saddam Kamal (who was head of the Special Security Organization) oversaw the torture and execution of thousands of political prisoners.
4- What is your excuse for forced separation of families and their children as well as forced divorces among MEK couples, when Massoud Rajavi gets to marry several women as well as having extra marital affairs?
5- How do you justify torture, imprisonment (most often solitary confinement) and mysterious disappearance of the MEK dissidents?
6- What is you defence for killing ordinary Iranian civilians during your acts of terror and sabotage?
7- How would you absolve MEK’s advocating assassinations, sabotage and murder? May I remind you sir that the archived Mojahed paper is available! Your organization assassinated at least at least six American citizens who were employees of Rockwell and other defense contractors in Iran. MEK encouraged more execution of the Iranian elite society during the Shah’s regime. Your personnel participated in summary execution of those people in tandem with the murderer Afatollah Khomeini.
8- What is your answer for participation in Saddam's brutal counterinsurgency campaigns in the Shiite south and Kurdish north. "Up until the fall of the Saddam’s regime, MEK was heavily involved in suppressing the Kurdish uprising of 1991?
9- In 1988, after the Frough e Javidan failed offensive to Iranian soil from Iraq, you gave the murdering mullahs an execute more than 30,000 people in matter of days. What is your excuse for this stupidity? Why MEK cultist would set themselves on fire for Maryam getting arrested with several million dollars, yet you failed to launch a serious protest?
10- Despite all your failures, negative past history which includes TREASON, ESPIONAGE, HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, TERRORISM, MURDER and CORUPTION how do you expect the Iranians to accept you as an alternative to the blood thirsty regime of Mullahs?

MEK vs. the Parliamentary Monarchist’s and Republicans

Couple of days ago I was surfing the IRI’s cyber space when I came to an article in Baztab; a web site owned by a former revolutionary Guard commander (thug) Mohsen Rezai. If you recall; he was an Iranian presidential candidate and a member of the Expediency Council.

Throughout the past I have noticed that Baztab News gets in gear attacking the opposition
When the regime is vunrable.The targets were as usual the Iranian Monarchists, however this time through a proxy. They had published an article from MEK (Mojahedin e khalgh). The article focused on the Iranians’ demonstrations in front of the UN on September 14, 2005; objecting to Ahmadinejad’s trip to New York.

The gist of the article was that basically the Iranian Monarchist,s movement is a dead
issue , and their coffins has been nail shut. It then goes on defending MEK’s legitimate
number of demonstrators , denying their rent-a-crowd demonstrators and barging about
their sacrifices for Iran!

As an eyewitness to the event in New York and as an Iranian; I felt so offended with their lies and their insistence on being the only alternative to the IRI that I decided to write this article exposing MEK’s true story.

The trip to New York

I was par of a 60 people group flying from Los Angeles to NYC together on a red eye flight. Prior to the departure while getting a bite to eat with couple of friends, we ran into a group of college aged individuals who informed us that they were also attending the demonstrations in New York City. To my amazement out of 22 people in the MEK group,only 3 were Iranians. Further chatting with them revealed that they were paid $400.00 per person in addition to Hotel accommodations in Manhattan for three days, topped off by food allowance and site seeing tours in NYC. The Funny thing was that most of these kids did not know which organization has sponsored them although some had attended a previous demonstration in Washington DC.
The next day while demonstrating I noticed a tremendous number of non-Iranians demonstrating among the MEK group. Two Danish gentlemen approached me asking for a cloth Iranian Sun and the Lion flags since MEK had provided their group with a paper one. They too had been flown from Denmark all expenses paid!
Next I ran into Mr. Kenneth R. Timmerman notifying him of the situation. Mr. Timmerman carried his own investigation, took some picture and wrote this article: Outlawed Iranian opposition group rents demonstrators in New York; pro-monarchist groups call for Ahmadinejad arrest
http://marzeporgohar.org/index.php?action=news&n_id=25082&l=1
I would like to extend my most sincere appreciation to my travel companions.
They are hard working, patriotic people who took time off work, attended the demonstrations paying their own way. They were both republicans and Monarchists!

Why MEK is repulsive to the Iranians?

MEK is a Islamic-Marxist terrorist organization established in 1965. In early 70s they assassinated at least at least six American citizens who were employees of Rockwell and other defense contractors in Iran.
In 1960s and 70s they were spying for the Former Soviet Union against Iran as well as committing acts of sabotage and assassinations. In 1979 collaborated with Ayatollah Khomeini to overthrow the former Shah of Iran. They supported the US Embassy take over and taking of the American diplomats hostage. Soon after the revolution they lost the power struggle and were purged by Ayatollah Khomeini in the early 1980s. MEK then sided with Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war by 1985.In 1988 they launched a foolish attack on the Iranians borders that was swiftly defeated by the Mullahs. As a result of this foolishness, many MEK personnel and Iranian conscript soldiers were killed. This gave the murderous IRI regime to execute more than 30,000 Iranian political prisoners in matter of weeks in the summer of 1988. They were mostly leftist political prisoners.
In 1991 after the first Persian Gulf War, MEK fighters were on the front lines of Saddam's brutal counterinsurgency campaigns in the Shiite south and Kurdish north. "Up until the fall of the Saddam’s regime, they were heavily involved in suppressing the Kurdish uprising of 1991. Page. 321 of the SSIC report on pre-war Iraq intelligence makes crystal clear, the Iraqi regime provided bases, training, protection, and funding to MEK and in return the group helped Saddam with his "internal security." In addition to occasional acts of sabotage, the Mojahedin are responsible for violent attacks in Iran that victimize civilians.
The Supreme leader of the MEK, Massoud Rajavi escaped from Iran disguised as a woman; leaving his wife behind. His first wife along with her brother was shortly killed by the IRI regime in a gun fight. Shortly thereafter Rajavi married the daughter of Banisadr (The first IRI president) who had escaped from Iran in the same manner with Rajavi.Rajavi later on seduced his comrade’s (Mehdi Abrishamchi) wife Maryam , divorced his second wife and married Maryam Rajavi who is the MEK selected President for Iran. This they called a revolution, what kind? Probably a bedroom one! MEK at the same time being a cult that is; pressures its members to divorce their spouses and families! When Maryam came to Europe in 1993 her husband had an affair with her second in command, Fahimeh Arvani back in Iraq.
In June 2005, Human Rights Watch published a report about mistreatment inside the Mojahedin-e Khalq, identifying torture and assassination as being used to stop disaffected members from leaving the organization.
The Us department of state report describes MEK’s popularity among iranian in this manner: “Since their leadership's expulsion from Iran, the Mojahedin have conducted a public relations campaign among Western press and public officials, seeking political support and financial backing. Exploiting Western opprobrium of the behaviour of the current government of Iran, the Mojahedin posit themselves as the alternative. To achieve that goal, they claim they have the support of a majority of Iranians. This claim is much disputed by academics and other specialists on Iran, who assert that in fact the Mojahedin-e Khalq have little support among Iranians. They argue that the Mojahedin's activities since the group's leadership fled from Iran in 1981-- particularly their alliance with Iraq and the group's internal oppression -- have discredited them among the Iranian polity. The clerical regime in Tehran, aware of the Mojahedin's unpopularity, attempts to discredit many of its opponents by falsely linking them to the MKO. The Mojahedin, for their part, often dismiss their critics as "agents of the regime”.
Aside from the above, MEK is also hated for previously burning the Iranian Sun and the Lion flags, and cult behavior including committing suicide by setting themes on fire. Several people died when in protest of Maryam’s arrest in France, several cult members set themselves on fire where in contrast to the execution of the 30,000 political prisoners (many of whom were MEK members) they did nothing. “When Maryam Rajavi was arrested in Paris in June 2003, and her premises were searched, she was found to possess millions of dollars from Iraq and not surprisingly about a million Euros worth of clothes, shoes and make-up. Observers were shocked by the contrast between her personal wealth and the way she and her husband Massoud Rajavi treat the cult members who are not allowed personal possessions, sleep in communal dormitories sometimes 10 to a room and whose children are used to collect money in the streets. For years the Rajavis have been using these members as slaves, and have, in addition, been paid per head by Saddam to add to their personal wealth” reported by Iran Interlink.

Conclusion

Any kind of US support for the MEK as an organized Iranian opposition would be a complete and utter disaster for any kind of movement for democratic revolution inside Iran. It would give the mullahs a propaganda victory that they would relish for years to come and completely discredit any legitimate pro-democracy groups that accepted US support. As far as the Iranians are concerned MEK can take its terror (TRAITOR) organization, its ideology and shove it where the sun does not shine!

Mr. President, "Is this how you stand with the Iranians?"


Jun 3, 2005


Dear Mr. President


On February 2, 2005, you issued clear warnings to Syria and Iran that they were next in your sights declaring a mission to spread democracy around the world.

In your state of the Union, you said "There are still governments that sponsor and harbor terrorists, but their numbers have declined. There are still regimes seeking weapons of mass destruction, but they are no longer without attention and without consequence."

Regarding Iran you said "Iran remains the world's primary sponsor of terror" and issued a direct message to Iranians to stand up to the clerical regime in Tehran.

You declared "to the Iranian people, I say tonight: As you stand for your own liberty, America stands with you."

Mr. President, your promises to a nation must be kept to prove the American decency and sincerity.

Currently in Iran, people are planning to boycott the upcoming presidential elections, people are organizing and there are talks of uprising against the tyrant regime of Tehran. Yet when it comes to action we learned that you are urging Congress to hold off on legislation concerning H.R. 282/S. 333. (Members push tougher line on Iran).

Mr. President time after time you have encouraged the Iranians to stand up to the IRI regime yet at the most sensitive time your administration abandons the Iranians. I recall two years ago (June 2003) after your repeated verbal support for the Iranians, people took to the streets for almost two consecutive weeks protesting the atrocities of the IRI ahead of the July anniversary for the Iranian student uprising; yet at that time your former Secretary of the State Mr. Powel declared the uprising a "family feud" and washed his hands off.

The regime in Iran can be changed by supporting the Iranians. The tyrants who rule Iran are thugs, who do not respect human rights, contracts or rules of international diplomacy. The IRI has a renegade tract record for the past 26 years that is undeniable.

One of the required principals in Shia Islam is Taghieh, which means that they lie even under oath, when they think their action is helping Islam. Therefore when the regime leaders are under pressure to sign an agreement, they submit only to perform Taghieh and do the exact opposite at a later time. How can one negotiate and reach an agreement with these people? How could your administration be concerned that passage of H.R. 282/S. 333 legislation might disrupt sensitive negotiations about Iran's nuclear program?

The Iranian people are the most pro-American nations in Middle East, The EU big 3 (England, France and Germany) blatant disregard toward the Iranian's quest for liberty and their unconditional support for the IRI regime has created an intense animosity among the Iranians toward the EU, your support for EU's current policy for the sustenance of the IRI regime will only buy you hatred and amplify the Iranians' fury.

Mr. President; sooner or later the IRI regime must be changed; execution of this matter in the hands of Iranians themselves will prevent American blood loss down the road.

I urge you to take the Iranian people's side before it is too late!

Respectfully

Ramin Etebar, M.D.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST


Today when I opened my E-mails, I noticed an E-mail from an opposition group operating out of one of CIS countries (former Soviet block). This group was formed by group of Iranian boys and girls University students living in that country.

At least once a week with certain regularity they would circulate their E-mails in cyber space for anyone interested in reading what they are doing and their progress.

From the content’s of their E-mails one would notice although, they are not professionals; they are hard at work and dedicated to their cause. Trying to link with other opposition groups and expand dialogue with others.

Frankly, I got used to receiving their E-mails for the past 3 years. Reading about what sort of activities they are doing such as sending letters to United Nations in protest or other activities such as sending petitions around for freedom of jailed journalists in Iran. I have even seen their pictures gathered in the university Cafeteria or their picnic in local park dead smack in the middle of winter with lots of snow.

I have Read about the events they would host for fund raising regarding the imprisoned fellow students in Iran, their press conferences in the local media ; trying to educate the general public about the political situation in Iran and what they are doing.

It was obvious this group is young, energetic, sincere, honest that truly believe in what they are doing; team players and true friends in campus, in their private and political activities.

Their E-mail today, sadly informed everyone that they are closing down their operation and will stop their activity. The reason sited for this action was due to their expansion as few other groups had joined them.

When they had started this organization, as friends they had practiced total open ness, transparency and comradely in their work. They were all friends and equal in ranks with a common cause and common believes.

According to their E-mail everything changed as the new groups joined them. Specially, a certain group which I will not mention their names.

According to the original group, this new group joined them and problems started. They started to make troubles for everyone as they played one against the other and spreading rumors, lies and making certain there would be disagreements among the new comers and the old guard.

Finally, escalating the matter to a point that nothing could be done. No one could make any decision about anything. People were accused of spying and sabotage. They made the working environment so tense and poisonous where people did not show up to consult and perform their works.

After a while, that group was on top and there was no one around. Based on these issues, the original group has decided to fold and stop everything.

After reading their sad E-mail, I started to wonder. During our 26 years of opposition, how many hundreds of large and small groups had to close down, due to assassinations, being hijacked by the Islamic Republic secret operatives, lack of funds or just clash of ideas between the members and disagreement as who has the final say.

The case of our young university students, if they had accounted accurately chronicles of what has transpired. I can say clearly it was a classic case of hijacking by the operatives of Islamic Republics regime.

I remember 24 years ago in Los Angeles. How I got my first education about dissolving groups and destroying their cause. I was a young man and still in University. The Islamic revolution was in infancy and there were many Iranians in Los Angeles with their tourist’s visa and some like myself with Student visa. The confidences were high as any day the regime will collapse and everyone will go back home.

A Person that I just will mention his first Initial, Mr. S. asked 10 of his friends to gather Wednesday 12:00 Noon for a lunch in Beverly Hilton Hotel. After Lunch they parted their own way and planned to meet next Wednesday for lunch. This time the number of guests rose to 25 and started to escalate.

At the height of these luncheons, as I recall, there were over 1,500 people gathering every Wednesday for lunch. People were coming because they were hungry for news and wanted to belong somewhere that had the smell and the feel of back home.

Pretty soon this crowd started to ask if it is possible to make this gathering organized and give this organization a name and make it as a group. At first Mr. S. was so humble. Accommodating to everyone’s need and making sure everyone is at home and people would get their special food such as Kosher or diabetic foods or they wanted extra helping of the desert.

By doing all these, when it came to forming the group, everyone including myself saw no one other than this person as natural for the job of creation and leading this new group.

At first he was reluctant to take the job saying he is too busy to do it. Finally he said the magic word. In order to do this task he needs to get paid. It was a logical and legitimate request. They all decided to raise the lunch fees a bit in order to have him paid to run this organization.

The organization was formed and everyone became member. The lunch money was raised in order to pay his salary, secretary of the organization and as I recall someone else for performing something that I don’t remember.

It was decided this organization would run as a democratic organizations. Run by President and board of directors. The elections were held. Mr. S. was elected as President. The boards of directors were elected.

Everyone was happy and the attendance had reached the numbers of 2000 on each Wednesday Luncheon.

It got to the point that the hotel management asked us to find another location for our gathering since the hotel physically could not accommodate all these people. This gathering had started to put strain on the parking system, hotel and the restaurants.

The organization management found a place that accommodated for special events and a capacity much larger than Hilton. It was a bit far. But, no one did mind the trip. Although the fees were considerably lower than what Hilton charged for lunch, the same rates were charged.

The organization started to have dinner parties as well and the attendance reach almost 5000 people at the dinner parties complete with open bars, live music and singing performers.

This was all well and dandy until people started to say an organization like this should state its political goal and become politically involved in what was going on back home. At first Mr. S. reluctantly agreed with this recommendation.

On those Luncheons, after the lunch we had speakers from various fields talking about events in Iran and analyzing them for the group. They ranged from university professors to Rear Admirals in the former Royal Iranian Navy.

The attendance even grew larger. People of all walks of life would come to these gatherings, from a mechanic to a Bank owner. All sit side by side listen to the current events, ask questions and interact with each other.

The trend was like this until one day we lost the treasure of the organization and had to bring a new guy. This guy was a multi Millionaire from Beverly Hills. He had one major flaw. He was pro Islamic Republic to the max and a religious fanatic. I recall once I did ask him what he was doing here. “If things are so good there, why are you here?” I had asked him. He just looked at me funny and did not answer.

I do not know what happened after he got on board. Somehow he influenced Mr. S. so much, and he started to change. He was not the same man. The treasurer was involved in every aspect of the decision-making and finally they called everyone to tell them no longer this organization will be involved in politics!

There were many protests. Mr. S threatened to resign and through the treasurer who has brought in a group of people in the organization, they shoved that idea into the throats of everyone.

After that vote the speeches at lunch had trickled down to how to brush your teeth properly when a dentist paid them to speak; as a form of advertisement to the topic of which travel agency gives you better service.

People got bored. The attendance started to drop and complaints start to rise. A large group including myself boycotted the organization and finally they had to close, as no one except bunch of pro Islamic Groups would attend.

At the end there was over $370,000 left in the petty cash. It was our recommendation to give this money for student’s scholarship fund or to a charity. Mr. S. as a dictator that he had become; demanded this money is his god given right. He had earned it. Despite of the salary he was getting he wanted this money too. Our group of dissidents refused. The Pro Islamic group headed by the Treasurer approved and finally Mr. S. Found clause in the by laws of the non-profit group, that in case of a tie, this money can be used for research.

Immediately Mr. M. volunteered to conduct a research when asked about what topic, he replied the benefits of frozen yogurt in our diets! He took off with our money and the last I have heard from him. He is in Iran running an ice cream parlor. I guess the research results from frozen yogurt was not that favorable!

Thinking back, I realize what kind of great opportunity we had forming that organization and how two people knowingly ran it to the ground intentionally for their personal and gains and in favor of Islamic Republic and their personal pocket.

From time to time I hear of that treasurer. He is still pro Islamic Republic, living in Beverly Hills and still joining organizations and finishing them off internally, efficiently and quietly!

Spreading rumors such as “they take the names of people in the meetings and giving a hard time to their relatives back home” or “taking pictures and filming the events which will be waiting for you at the airport when you go home” are favorite tactics of the regime operatives. Let’s face it they work!

The stories like above have made us Iranians run away from any organized gatherings and each other. Because we know eventually somewhere, someone will come around and will destroy everything you have worked for so hard.

The operatives of Ministry of Information from Iran are at hand posing as many things; Investors, Friends, Managers or facilitators. They will come in as they see you are gathering momentum. They have one task to stop you from what you are doing!

They always succeed, as they know us. They know our fears and our weaknesses. They know they can buy us, scare or at worst kill us. They always have the upper hand.

If they can impose their will on us who live in the democratic world with laws protecting us, you can imagine what they have done to the people living in Iran!

If we wish to overcome this regime, we who are outside and can speak freely, must air our concern and that of our fellow Iranians living inside Iran.

We must expose these operatives and overcome our fears. They can not deal with all of us if we do not let them!

God Bless you all.

Drums of war are beating in Tehran

OPERATION DIVINE INTERVENTION
PAHSE ONE
ENGAGEMENT THROUGH PROXY

The staff of the supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei are burning late night candles. The news of referring Iran to the Security Council has become public.
The Ball is now in their court. They have to make the next move…..

They are getting ready to implement the plans which they had prepared just for this occasion. It is called “Operation Divine Intervention”. In the series of events they will try to inflict damage through their proxy’s in order to make nations withdraw their demand without their actual direct confrontation.

Operation Divine Intervention
During the Iran, Iraq war became obvious to the Iranian clergy leadership that confrontation with United States is immanent. That is, if they wish to control the Middle East and to export their brand of revolution in order to create the new Islamic Empire.

Sepah Pasdaran and Baseiji organization, through series of low level confrontation with the US Navy in Persian Gulf, Marines in Beirut, Army in Iraq and Special Forces in Afghanistan have learned many valuable lessons.

During the Shah’s regime “Savak” Secret Police headed by General Nassiri (later executed by firing squad) was divided into two distinct and separate major sections. Under these two sections were various different subsections. Depending on the tasks, the subsections operated by their names and reported to the head of their respected major sections. The International Section under General Motazed had to report to General Nassiri, the head of Savak.

The National Section under General Fardoost had to the same. Howevevr, there were sub sections in National Secret police under the direct orders of the Shah reported only to Fardoost. They did not have to answer to General Nassiri or his boss which was the Prime Minister of Iran.

The Two major sections were 1. National Secret Police which operated something like FBI, headed by General Fardoost, the late Shah’s closest confident and later turned turn coat. The second section 2. International Operations, Headed by General Motazed which operated like CIA. For the purpose of International intelligence gathering and reporting on Iranian political organization operating outside of Iran

The most important sub section under the National Secret Police unit and under the total control General Fardoost was completely intact. This division’s code name was “Ekbatan”.

During the revolution Ekbatan section under the direct command of General Fardoost, only responsible to report to him, had provided the crucial tasks of implementing the national strikes in the work force; Government organizations, Bazzar and the Private sector’s infrastructure.

This section under General Fardoost’s direct control comprised of infiltration unit, identification, and political ideology; Planning and implementation units.

Easily, they were able to mass duplicate the exiled Ayatollah Khomeini’s speeches and audio tapes, distributing it through their own agents inside the government organizations and companies.

Plan and orchestrate strikes, demonstrations and recruitments.

Later on when General Motazed was forced to resign and accept the post of Iranian Ambassador to Syria during the Shah regime, a large chunk of his international section fell into hands of General Fardoost as well.

After the revolution General Fardoost was in charge of creating the New Islamic Secret Police called Savama with the help of “Ekbatan” section and the “Simorgh”; part of General Motazed’d intact international section.

Ekbatan and Simorgh divisions under the watchful eyes of Revolutionary council created the Islamic Secret Police called Savama.

The new recruits were selected from the veterans of Iran-Iraq war. Hand picked through the ranks of Sepah Pasdaran and Baseiji groups. They have been selected among the most fevering religious zealots who are unquestionably loyal to the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini and the Guardian council.

These new recruits under the expert training received from Ekbatan and Simorgh operating staff have become a very impressive operating team. Their precision assassinations and the style of tortures soon made them famous. They surpassed the reputation Savak had made before and created fear into hearts of all Iranians.

As the old guard of Ekbatan and Simorgh retiring, new people replaced them and advanced to many important and influential positions. The current President of Iran Mr. Ahmadi Nejad is a very good example of these recruits.

Operation Divine Intervention was established during the 1980’s for the purpose of assessing, planning and the possibility of US invasion of Iran; Engagements with the US Armed Forces and delivering devastating blows in case of conflict. In co-ordination with the armed forces, Sepah Pasdaran and Baseiji, this operation is under the direct control of the Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his staff.

Currently there are 3000 experienced top senior level filed operatives engaged in Operation Divine Intervention.

Depending in their region of service, some of these agents are already in place of their duty and some are in Tehran on call, awaiting orders to become operational at a very short notice.

They are all experienced professionals. Have worked in regions they are assigned to before and do speak the local languages. They are at the levels of “Directors” in each geographical area of their field service.

All have proven track records and have been in combat and undercover operations ranging from wars, Para-military/partisan activity, reconnaissance, prisoners debriefing, information extraction, kidnapping, assassination, infiltration, explosives and recruitment.

They can blend into any environment posing as businessman, staff employee, student, media person and others.

Some of these operatives despite their strict religious habits have received “Fatwa” which is direct orders from the Supreme leader to be able to drink Alcoholic beverages and engage in activities prohibited by Islam in order to infiltrate the groups they are targeting.

The Operation Divine intervention is now activated in full force by the order of the Supreme leader and close supervision of the New President and all his cabinet members who were/are in the Savama (later changed its name to ministry of intelligence and security (MOIS), and related fields.

What is their next step?
In coming weeks you will see them in action in phase one of their operation. Iran will heat up the engagements of insurgents and US coalition teams in Iraq. The operatives from this operation are already on their way to Iraq. They will take over planning, directing and implementation of the tasks from the local Militia Such as Muqtada al-Sadr, Mahdi Army in Naiaf and Kabala, against the British forces, US forces and the rest of the coalition.

Another visible sign will be the introduction of new insurgent groups as they will start claiming victories on attacks made to coalition forces.

A major visible sign you will note is the direct attacks against the Japanese peace keeping force in Iraq. Until now, this group has been unharmed as they do not engage enemy like other coalition forces and are in Medical delivery and other humanitarian activities.

The Japan constitution prohibits any act of war against enemy. The Japanese peace keeping army can only fight if attacked and in defending themselves. Although as of now, the rules of engagement has changed since Japan has voted in favor of dragging Iran to the Security Council. You will see some clashes between insurgents and Japanese peace keeping forces.

During the upcoming two months until Iran is taken to Security Council, you will see gradual escalation of violence in Iraq and other places; although, none of these attacks will be claimed by Iran.

The major clashes will be in Iraq. However, you will see terrorists’ activity in France and Germany as well. Not something serious but enough to rattle the cages in these two countries. Trying to scare people into submission and forcing their governments to withdraw their demands.

These operatives will plan and deliver devastating blows to the British forces as Britain was the one that wrote the Security Council resolution draft. The British Army is in their backyard and through more than dozens of insurgent groups under their payroll; they will make it very uncomfortable for these forces in Najaf, Kabala, sea shores, beaches and ports Which British Army controls.

The engagement with the US will be in the next two months limited to Iraq and some minor staged clashes in Afghanistan. The engagement will be under their controlled insurgents and not a direct confrontation.

In all of their activities during these two months the goal is scare tactic. Scare the EU 3, US and other countries who have voted in favor of this resolution to back off from their original demand.

They have seen good results in Spain as the government caved in. There was a new prime minister after the bombing. The new Spanish government recalled its troops from Iraq. These operatives will try to create same situations in order to frighten the governments into submission.

During this period the rest of the operatives remain in Iran will be dispatched to their pre-designated areas and will start to take over and work closely with the local groups they have set up previously as sleeper cells or others.

The Phase one will end after the two months period. Depending on its derived success, the Phase Two of the operation will commence.

The civilized nations of world are against ruthless, fanatic and disciplined force which is determined to make the A- Bomb as it knows making this bomb will be insurance for their survival, recognition, respect and longevity of their tyrannical regime.

As it is said, the best defense against such a fanatical group is an effective offense. United Nations must send troops to Iraq; helping the US and the coalition to face these operatives and their paid insurgents head on. There can be no yielding under the pressure from these criminals.

The Supreme Leader and his gang are preparing for the total all out war in the last phase of this operation. In their sick minds they think they can win the war. If they have to sacrifice the entire Iranian population in order to achieve their goal, they are prepared to do it.

The plans are made. The timetables are set. They know exactly what they intend to do and are willing to go to any extreme in order to achieve it.

The rest is up to us in the free world to stop this megalomaniac so called supreme leader and his murderous cronies dead on their tracks.

What they want is not the wish of the Iranian people. The Iranian people are fed up with this bunch more than the world is. But, they can’t do anything until they get moral support from the free world.

The majorities of Iranians are against these people and will answer to the call of uprising against the regime. Providing this call is true and sincere.

THE KEY TO SALVATION OF IRAQ IS IN REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN

Sounds far fetched, or really is it? Everyone talks about Iran’s nuclear violation and the fact that they maybe able to make Atomic Bombs and become a menace to the world security.

The truth of the matter is Iran has been a menace to the security of civilized nations since its inception 26 years ago. Although, most nations turned a blind eye to the violation and atrocities this terrorist nurturing regime has done during these years. Hoping just like a bad dream, they would go away someday.

Well, it did not. Most nations instead of joining United States in banning trade and relations with Islamic Republic, encouraged trade in order to make their quota, turn handsome profits and expand relations so they can sell even more goods.

During these years the cries of fowl play was being herd loud and clear from Iranian people and the opposition groups hastily made inside Iran and outside to combat them.

When the regime started to silence its opposition inside Iran by systematic arrests, unjust trials and executions, the world stood indifferent.

When the regime started to kill its opponents outside of Iran with a precision and accuracy only would make one to wonder if they had the host nations assisting them, everyone was only a passive bystander.

Hundreds of thousands inside Iran and thousands outside Iran executed or assassinated as the result of this indifference the world has taken against Iranians.

Iran’s best and brightest administrators, leaders, planners and political activists inside and in self imposed exile perished just because no one cared.

Everyone felt this is an internal matter and as soon as Islamic Republic clergy gets rid of their undesirables, “The Good Old Days” will roll over again and the business would be as usual.

As the result of these mass execution and assassination of Iran’s opposition, a vacuum was created. To this date, this vacuum has not been able to fill. In reality the opposition to the regime, due to the lack of support from most countries has become only a shell.

Most individuals /organizations that are in the arena and claim they are fighting, have no formal education, political background, support, trust of people or proper financial support to amount to anything.

The one’s that can make a difference and are educated administrators and politicians, inside Iran and abroad are watching events unfold in silence from the sidelines.

These people know and understand, without proper support and funding from the world nations their actions will be in vein.

Nevertheless, bravely they stage their dissatisfaction with the regime whenever and wherever it is permitted. Empty handed, as brave as they are, their actions counts very little in interrupting the clergy to do as they please.

The nation’s lack of good judgment is apparent now. By encouraging the trade and turning blind eye to the crimes of Islamic Republic Clergy, have created a monster.

There is no viable opposition inside or outside of Iran to stand up to Islamic Republic. Now, since they feel no threat from the opposition; they have turned the heat one notch up. By performing what they are at best.

The regime is creating havoc and lawlessness by promoting terror in the world in order to reach its goals.

Being careful, never to be implicated in any major terrorist acts. They use surrogate foreign terrorists well trained and financed.

It is a established fact that terrorists training camps are in many parts of Iran. Training Hezbollah, and other extremists, terrorist fractions is no secret. You can ask any child in Iran and they will show you at least one camp for you to see personally.

The fact is. All these trained and funded terrorists have to go somewhere in order to perform their dirty works is well established. More or less the world’s intelligence community knows where they end up and currently what they are doing.

The fact that. Iranian regime does not recognize the international laws and abide by them is also has been established. The Hostage taking of US Embassy, later giving all those so called student terrorists high governmental posts, not recognizing Human Rights issues, execution of minors, raping women prior to their execution, public stoning of women, public executions, branding anyone they wish as “Combatant Against God” therefore, giving their courts the free hand to issue death sentence, cutting limbs and parts of body of so called criminals in public. torture, systematic beatings and harassment of it’s citizens, tampering with elections the list goes on and on. All of them are established and the Iranian regime is guilty on all accounts by countless witnesses and proofs.

Iranian regime objectives are well known to all. Their wish to dominate the Islamic nations and play God Father to Moslems is a fact that leaders of Iranian regime openly talk about it.
They promote violence in their sermons and teach hatred against anyone who is not one of them and does not follow their path. Friend or foe does not matter. Moslem or non Moslem does not matter. In their eyes you are “Combatant against the God” and killing you is promoted and encouraged.

The world body is aware of all these. The only obvious place to export their brand of Islam in country where the majority is Shiites, thus, sympathetic towards their teachings is Iraq.

It does not take nuclear scientists to see all their efforts are being directed toward Iraq. They want someone like Mullah Muqtada al-Sadr ruling it as their little pet.

We see death and destruction everyday in our TV’S. The most fascinating issue is still, the world body is standing and turning blind eye to the entire issues. They still do not realize by ignoring the problems in Iraq, someday these problems will start knocking at their door.

France has to realize if Iran succeeds in their mission, they will be next. With the largest Moslem population in their country, surely the hardliners radical brand of Islam will find some takers; just as they did in England. Although by all accounts, the British Moslems are among the worlds most well educated Moslems and mostly assimilated into British way of life and respect their new country.

The Iraq’s problem is not only American problem it is the world problem. It is the problem that the key for salvation of it is found in freedom of Iran from the grips of hard line fundamentalist clergy.

It is high time that finally Europe is beginning to realize the Iran’s threat to the world security and is trying to stop Iran from making the Atomic Bomb. However, you can not only take a small piece of the problem and leave the rest unassisted, unresolved for others to deal with. This is not only their problem. In time, it will become your problem as well. As you are noticing the Iran’s nuclear issue has become this factor.

There are certain issues that love of money must give back seat to priorities of preserving security, peace, freedom and democracy as the way of life for all.

Iraq will become safe and a model for democracy if Iran is stopped from sending money, arms, explosives and paid terrorists to create anarchy and lawlessness.

Mullah Sadr and his Mahdi army will cease to function and exist, if the money from Iran dries out. In a poor country like Iraq, there are no jobs. Sadr and his thugs are the major employers by the funds they receive from their Iranian bosses. The same is true for Abu Musab Zarqawi and his supporters.

The insurgents can not make cars loaded with bombs and pay people to commit suicide in them if Iranian funds stops getting to them. (It is estimated an average of $15 to $17,000 USD for making a car equipped with explosives and $10,000 payment to the suicide driver’s family).

Terrorism has become a thriving business in Iraq. Everything has a value. You have to pay for the cost of everything. Terrorists get paid $200 per Iraqi Police officers they kill. Much more for killing US Soldiers! Who is responsible for this? Where the money is coming from?

Let’s face it. If you are full time terrorists without pay, your family will starve to death. Bear in mind in Moslem countries only husband works. Wife stays behind tending house and raising children.

By all accounts the insurgents are growing and thriving! This only shows that windfall profits from the oil prices have been good for them! Iran with $200 Million Dollars in extra income can pay a lot more to increase the force of insurgents in Iraq and arm them better with more sophisticated explosives.

On the other hand, people of Iran are fed up with these hard-line fanatics ruling them. They will stand up and fight against a regime, if the see a glitter of hope and know they will be backed by the world community.

Corruption, addiction, mismanagement is rampant in Iranian society. According to their own account over 45% of the population is living well below international poverty guidelines.

There are over 2,000,000 addicts in Iran; making it number one in the world. A price of “Heroin Fix” is cheaper than a pack of cigarettes!

Corruption is rampant. You can not get anything done unless you pay “The famous tea money”. The government employees must take bribes in order to compensate for their low salaries. The Revolutionary Guards and Sepah Baseiji are involved in illegal counter-band imports of all sorts to the country. By having their own airports and seaports, they smuggle, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, pirated movies and records, X rated movies, Blue jeans and electronic merchandize to name the few.

Lately, the government has legalized the importation of Luxury cars into the country. You see many of these people or the children’s of clergy (Called Aghazadeh “Son of a Sir”), have made fortunes in illegal activity now drive brand new Mercedes Benz and BMV’S. Ranging in price between $130,000 to $300,000!

People of Iran see all these. They see when they are sick unless they have $2,000 in cash upfront, they will not even get to the door of a Hospital. Yet, the best of Medical services are available to the terrorists wounded in Iraq and Palestine flown in to Iran and being treated for free!

The Iranian people are tiered to yell to the world they want freedom. Only to get empty talks, cold shoulders and no real support. Their screams to be silenced with bullets or hangman’s noose dangling from a crane in public; having every bone in their body crushed and getting raped in prisons.

The clergies have done a number on average Iranians. The able bodied Iranians must work two shifts in order to keep up with high prices and deal with rampant inflation. The rest are either unemployed or addicts!

There is no hope for them. They realize it. They know, their regime is not for them. The regime can careless if they live or die. The public is like the personal herd of cattle for the regime. Do as they please with them “Remember the human waves in Iran, Iraq war?”

Iranians will stand up and topple the regime if they see support from the world community. They will fight, if the world encourages and supports the creation of grass root opposition and assist in making leaders inside and outside.

We must remind you, never think of MEK, its leadership and members as true opposition. They are in the same, if not worse than the present regime ruling Iran. The majority of Iranians hate them with a passion.

President Carter seized $10 Billion Dollars in Iranian assets in 1980’s with a Presidential act. A Little bit of our money will go a long way in toppling this terrorist nurturing regime! Let Iranian’s solve the Iranian problem.

We do not wish nor want handouts. We do not want to be a burden to your tax payers for funding us to fight the regime. Give a little bit of our money which belongs to us in order to topple the regime.

All we ask from you is the moral support.

Please remember; the key to salvation of Iraq is in freedom of Iran. The freedom loving countries of the world must unite and assist Iranian people to finish this embarrassment called Islamic Republic and allow Iran to come back to the arms of the civilized nations.

In helping us, you have stopped the violence in Iraq and have made Iran reach democracy with minimum blushed and have preserved the peace and freedom worldwide.

God Bless all of peace and freedom loving people.

Australia, Canada and other nations must be accountable for who they let in

There is a new President in Iran! It was not the one that many government organizations hoped or anticipated to become a President. Rather, a hardliner from an intelligence division with murky background has taken the helm of the Islamic Iranian government.

As the result, the business in Iran has stopped totally. The Iranian Stock Market is well below -50% loss and all high to mid management government employees are running away into Dubai, UAE with Millions stashed in their bank accounts, applying residency mainly for Canada or Australia. According to the Central Bank of Iran, there is 330 Billion Dollars asset of Iranian nationals in UAE banks!

Much of these assets comprise of the assets of present and the former high level and mid management ranking Islamic government employees.

These are all the people who have been the source of major corruptions, murder, jailing, stealing and robbing Iranians with lengthy files, afraid to be caught and put to jail by the new president and his newly appointed cabinet who are also from the Iranian Intelligence community and hungry for more money.

These are the government employees under Rafsanjani and Khatami presidency, murdered, stole and confiscated people's land, factories, businesses and buildings, plotted and sold these properties and assets through their agents or in collusion with others in market for Billions of Dollars.

For example. Saba M. Is in Dubai and has filed documents to go to Canada as an immigrant. He is 33 years old. Former employee of Oppressed Foundation of Islamic Republic of Iran. He has $15,000,000. In a Major Dubai bank. His salary was less than $200 Per month.

He sold a confiscated property from his organization to a friend who was in Municipality of Teheran for $200,000 in Promissory Notes and pledges to build low income housing for the poor. His friend who is a high official in the City subdivided the land and together they re-sold that confiscated, now divided property for 62 Million US Dollars (Payoff's to the higher-ups in the Oppressed Foundation and Municipality paid by Saba & friend). Where developers have built few super luxury high rises for the affluent. The starting price for each unit is around $500,000 and up!

Meanwhile Saba M. Waits for his application process to go to Canada, he has rented the Presidential Suite of a Major 5 star Hotel chain and is living there with his wife and family driving a brand new 500 SL Mercedes Benz.

There are thousands of cases such as above involving residential land, industrial lands, commercial lands factories, businesses and shops across Iran.

Now, these blood suckers see the tide is turned, have no protection as the Mafia Boss has changed, it is no longer advisable to stay in their beloved Islamic Government and have gathered their belongings, illegally gathered fortunes, looking for a safe haven.

Canada for a mere $120,000 let's these thieves and their families enter into their land with their booty stolen from Iranian people as new Canadian citizens. Australia is in the same boat. They are allowing anyone as long as they can pay the fees requested.

The Iranian People give notice to the governments of Canada, Australia or any other nation who will give safe conduct to these murdering hoodlums.

The money these people are bringing into your country is "Blood Money". It is stolen from the people of Iran, orphans and old people; confiscated properties from innocent families and people. This money represents the life savings of innocent families taken from them by these people while in power.

These people represent the very fabric that every civilized nation should fight for and stay away from. They represent, corruption, murder and seizure of innocent peoples property.

They have no remorse for what they have done. They come proudly flashing their millions under the nose of these countries and want safe haven. Their request is always granted!

Their wives and daughters are still under Islamic robes coming to the new countries. They have not changed. Still defending the Islamic Republic and waiting for a better time to go back practice their corrupted ways in the new land. They have no loyalty to anyone or anything.

A word of advise to Canada, Australia and other countries letting these people in. Check their background. If they were employed by the Iranian regime,if they are Islamic fanatics, do not let them in.

They are all criminals and must answer for their actions to the Iranian people. Do not be surprised if the new regime will not work with you and shall ask extradition of your new citizens to face charges of their past crimes in Iran.

Your countries will be held accountable for giving safe haven to these murdering thieves who have robbed our country blind.

Please reconsider your immigration laws in regard to allowing criminals entering your countries.

Surely you do not think Rafsanjani's son or Daughter coming to your lands with Billions have made these fortunes legally! If you let them in. You are doing the money laundering for these criminals. You have encouraged terror, corruption and murder.
Warning!

It does Not Payoff To Side With The Tyrants!

Cinema Rex, The Auschwitz of Abadan

On August 19,1978, in the southern city of Abadan, on the order of Ali Khamenei (Iran’s supreme leader) Cinema Rex
was set ablaze by Islamic extremist in order to incite riots by blaming it on the Shah of Iran.
This was the most horrific incident of the 1978/79 revolution in Iran, in which according to the official figures 377 people were burnt alive,
Unofficially the figures ran as high as six to seven hundred people. The culprits who were Islamic revolutionaries chained and locked
the exist doors to prevent the victims escape and hampered the firemen and the police’s efforts to rescue the victims.
After 27 years from this catastrophe, the western media still have not uncovered the story. In the pre-revolutionary days,
When the western media was busy portraying Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as an innocent holy man in exile, his extremist followers were fueling the revolution by burning cinemas, cabarets and robbing banks to fund their activities and terrorizing women by spraying acid on their faces.
Shortly after the Islamist’s victory, during the early months of the new Islamic government in Iran, a few innocent individuals were tried
and executed for this crime. Among them were the owner of the movie theater, its manager and even the police man who was patrolling the vicinity.
After the revolution in 1979, it was discovered that the crime was committed by the revolutionaries to fuel the publics’ anger.
Hossein Boroujerdi, one of the three people who delivered the chemical fuel to the city identifies Ali Khamenei (Iran’s supreme leader)
as the person who provided them with the chemicals. This information is documented in Boroujerdi’s book by the title of “Behind The
Islamic Revolution’s curtains, Confessions OF Hossein Boroujerdi” ISBN 3-93524966-7.
I urge all the human rights organizations, political leaders of the free world as well as the free western journalist to investigate and
report this horrific crime. In the name of justice, humanity and social responsibility, we owe this to the victims and their families.
It is time to tell the story.

Open Letter to Mr. Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General
http://www.petitiononline.com/un1321/petition.html

To: Mr. Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General
His excellency, Mr. Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General, Despite the fact that the whole world is now aware of the saga of the Iranian journalist Akbar Ganji and his hunger strike in Iran’s Evin prison, and although all of the institutions under your auspice have protested against the unjust treatment of this courageous writer, and against a background of strong protests of the major European and American members of your Security Council, and although his lawyer, Ms. Shirin Ebaadi, the Noble Prize Laureate has begged for the cooperation of the world’s human right organizations, your response to reporters who yesterday asked for your comments in this regard was that: “I have not enough information on this case and, thus, cannot comment on it.” Dear Sir! As citizens of the planet earth who believe in the Declaration of Human Rights, we have a few questions for you:"How much information on a case is considered to be “enough” for you? Once this threshold is reached, what would you comment on such a case? And, as the head of a world organization that is created to expand peace and human rights all over the word, what will your action be beafter uttering that comment? Dear Mr. Anaan! United Nation Organization was not created to ignore the atrocities of its member governments. Such connivance actually defies the purpose of the UN mission. And you are not selected to head such a large and expensive organization only to act as a diplomat who uses an ambiguous language not to talk about the misconducts of a member of his organization. Dear Mr. Anaan! We think that, according to the mission statement of the UN and the responsibilities bestowed on you, it is now the time for you to get “enough” information about the case of this freedom-loving citizen of our planet through your numerous sources (or just by calling Ms. Ebaadi and talking with her for a few minutes). And once this information seems enough to you, you are expected not only to comment on this case but to act vigorously and effectively. Dear Mr. Anaan! If you continue to keep yourself unaware of this vital case, you will soon find that the blood of a courageous journalist who has died in a corner of a political prison has tainted your hands too. With heartily regards for an organization that is set up to protect the nations and not the government, Shokooh Mirzadegi (Iranian writer) Dr. Esmail Nooriala (Iranian writer) July 14, 2005-07-14 8593 E.

In the war on terror, You must be firm instead of appeasement

The deadly bombings in London last week and mullahs putting a hostage taker terrorist at the helm as a president may appear unrelated. However, both warn us of a single threat: religious fundamentalism and terrorism under the pretext of Islam, the biggest threat to world peace and tranquility today.The increasing threats posed by Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism emanating from it as well as options to deal with it must be considered seriously. May be now, 12 years after I had warned of this threat in my book, "Islamic Fundamentalism: The New Global Threat", a more realistic attempt is made to better understand this phenomenon.In post-September the 11th, thwarting terrorism has emerged as top priority world leaders have been trying to resolve. To this end, the West has adopted harsher laws, such as the Terrorist Act of 2000 in Great Britain and the Patriot Act in the United States. There is hardly any doubt today as to the necessity and the impact of anti-terrorist laws, police action and pre-emptive measures. These effects, however, are temporary and tactical and cannot resolve the problem at its roots. Because before being a security and military phenomenon, terrorism and fundamentalism are political in nature. Terrorism is the means to advance a specific policy and based on a specific ideology.Terrorism under the name of Islam and God emerged essentially with the rise to power of Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran in 1979. In the past quarter century, Tehran has always used hostage taking and terrorism as a means to further its foreign policy. The occupation of the U.S. embassy in 1979, the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, hijacking, the killing of pilgrims in Mecca, the assassination of opponents abroad, the bombings in Argentina and Khobar and forming, strengthening and assisting terrorist currents in the Middle East are a few examples. After the recent developments elsewhere in the region, the Iranian regime remains the only state sponsor of terrorism in the world today.It would be naïve to assume that Iran’s Shiite rulers have no links to terrorist activities of Sunni groups. The ideology governing terrorism is Islamic fundamentalism, in which the pivotal element is neither Shiism nor Sunnism, but the establishment of a global Islamic rule. Though a Shiite, Khomeini repeatedly lamented the fall of the Ottoman Empire, which was led by Sunni Caliphs. The regime in Tehran is not only the sole empowered model for the fundamentalists but also their utopia, even if it did not support them materially. Similarly, the Soviet Union was the utopia for the communists and proponents of the dictatorship of the Proletariat, regardless of their specific political leanings. With the fall of the Soviet Union, these communists gradually wilted.Fundamentalists, whether Shiite or Sunni, share enmity toward the West, modernism and democracy. They want the annihilation of Israel. This destructive ideology claims the leadership of 1.2 billion Muslims. In this context, the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei considers himself the Supreme Leader of Muslim across the world and not just the Shiites. The fight against terror, therefore, is entwined with the fight against Islamic fundamentalism. Regrettably, appeasing the clerical regime, the West’s policy toward Iran in the past two decades, has had the opposite effect.

The clerical regime’s terrorist and fundamentalist activities will no doubt accelerate with the coming to power of its new President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He and his accomplices are fundamentalist terrorists who actively took part in the occupation of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, in terrorist operations in and out of Iran and in the massacre of the Iranian people. Ahmadinejad has personally fired coup de grace at more than 1,000 political prisoners. On June 29, he said, “A new Islamic Revolution has arisen… The wave of Islamic Revolution will soon reach across the globe.”
To confront terrorism, the policy of appeasing the mullahs must be abandoned. 26 years after appeasing Tehran has not only failed to bring reform and moderation, but led to the ascension of the most extremist faction of the ruling clique. Terrorism under the name of Islam emerged with the clerical regime and would only go away once it is toppled. The overthrow of the mullahs would eliminate the inspiration and the driving engine of terrorism.Fundamentalist leanings have much less appeal in Iran than in other countries in the region. The Iranian people are demanding regime change. Following the recent presidential election, amounting to a major internal purge and boycotted by ninety percent of the Iranian people, the regime as a whole emerged much more vulnerable and fragile. Lack of support for the Iranian opposition represent the biggest obstacle to the realization of democratic change, which the Iranian people are demanding.The Adoption of a decisive policy against the clerical regime is not only a pre-requisite for democracy in Iran but also indispensable to the fight against terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism.

HOPE AND BLOOD IN THE STREETS OF IRAN


Last June and july,for two straight weeks, the people of Iran had taken to the streets to protest the dictatorship of the ruling religious clerics. The tyrants in Tehran have been brutally killing and injuring the innocent demonstrators whose only crime is the cry of freedom. The crack down is not only carried out by the anti-riot police, but also by “Islamic” vigilantes known as Ansaar-e-hezbolah. These savage vigilantes are attacking demonstrators with knives, screwdrivers, chains, mace, clubs and handguns. Watching Persian satellite television programs, the Iranian people are asking why the US media is not covering these events adequately. Over the years the Iranian government sponsored anti-US demonstrations have been well publicized and broadcast on the US national news; but now the real movement of the Iranian people is ignored. The Iranian population favors the United States of America more than any other nation, including their neighbors in the Middle East. The voices of the Iranians must be heard as the first Iranian revolution of the twenty first century looms in the near future. The attention of the US media to this serious matter will insure long term friendship between our two nations.

Open Letter to All Diplomatic Missions in Tehran


Honorable Ambassadors:

As you are aware, the “Mullahcracy” Regime in Iran is an unelected government and rejected by the majority of the Iranian citizens. In the name of Iran we are asking you to sever political and commercial ties with this government. You choice to stand with or against the Iranian people will determine our future government’s political and economic relations with your respected governments. The illegitimacy of the cleric rule should be now obvious to diplomatic missions, as the people of Iran are rising to bring about the very first revolution of the twenty-first century. The regime does not represent the Iranian people as you witnessed only less than twelve percent of eligible voters participated in elections last December.

We condemn the continued reckless acts of Russian government in providing nuclear capabilities to the tyrant regime for political and monetary concessions. We applaud the refusal of the Japanese government to sign the contract for oil explorations in the Azadegan oil fields.

The “Theocratic” Regime (Islamic Republic of Iran) is an un-Islamic dictatorship that is not even Iranian. The “Mullaharchy” Regime is alien to our nation, our culture and traditions. The I.R.I has the worst human rights violation record and is the main source of support, including money and arms to international terrorism.

We are seeking international solidarity to support the freedom movement of our people and stop nuclear proliferation in Iran by means of economic and political sanctions except for food and medicine. Your stance with the people of Iran will ensure future long term friendship between our two nations
