1 in 100 U.S. Adults Behind Bars

Image
Adam Liptak, a NY Times reporter wrote an article stating that, For the first time in the nation’s history, more than one in 100 American adults is behind bars, according to a new report. He went on with an interesting statistic; "Nationwide, the prison population grew by 25,000 last year, bringing it to almost 1.6 million. Another 723,000 people are in local jails. The number of American adults is about 230 million, meaning that one in every 99.1 adults is behind bars." Thats an Important fact, suggesting a lot more than one might imagine. Lets just be realistic a minute long.....in the Land of the Free, 75% of the women, are all directly or indirectly involved in the sex industry, in order to finance their education or supporting their family in one way or another. They don't all have to be prostitutes, but lap dancing and telephone sex services, exotic dancing, Internet with all it possibilities and etc, etc , etc. Thats what I call enslavement. Maybe it is this u

Careful Iran!!!

One of the oldest economical tricks in the book, is to control the flow of capital... is to create the market, which was NOT there before. Making the country/ society/ Man/ to believe it is good for their interest to go a certain direction. At the moment, with all the pressure on the Iranian financial establishment, they are reversing their dollar reserves into other currencies. GOLD is also an important factor here...Iran here has to be careful not to buy too much Gold from the West because as the demand raises.. the price rises.. (which is planned) and when the crisis is over the price of Gold shall fall and all the profit Iran has made in $-€ deal could be nullified .. because of the dramatic fall of the Price of Gold which is regulated in Washington. The 800$ per ounce could become 300 $, and the creation of certain shortages by the US, will initiate the selling off of these Capital by Iran. The flow of capital will fly back to the US.... jump starts the US economy and Iran will be

Laleh Seddigh

Laleh Seddigh, a stunning Angelina Jolie lookalike has become Iran's national motor-sports champion. Laleh found that as long as she respected Islamic dress codes, she could race directly against male drivers. What the Islamist regime had not counted on, was that she might actually beat the men. Laleh has now become a role model for thousands of Iranian women. Laleh's story is a symbol of what women can achieve in today's Iran. By exploiting a loophole in the regulations, Laleh found that as long as she respected Islamic dress codes, she could race directly against male drivers - something that does not happen anywhere else in the world. She has now some problems with the Race officials, regarding alleged Motor tampering, which Laleh claims to be untrue, nevertheless a one year suspension was hanged and she is now trying to clear her name.

www.wikileaks.org

The website known as wikileaks.org was cut off from the Internet at the request of a Swiss bank and its Cayman Islands subsidiary over "several hundred" documents posted about its offshore activities. The documents, allegedly posted by Rudolf Elmer, former vice president of the bank's Cayman Island's operation, claimed the bank was involved in money laundering and tax evasion. Despite the injunction, wikileaks states that it will "keep on publishing; in fact, given the level of suppression involved in this case, wikileaks will step up publication of documents pertaining to illegal or unethical banking practices". The website says its goal in disclosing secret documents is to reveal "unethical behavior" by governments and corporations. Did I mention,,, It was the US court that ordered it ???!!!

Danesh was born in Glasgow and educated at Glasgow Academy. He then went on to study English and Philosophy at Edinburgh University. His father, Dr. Booth Danesh, is Iranian and his mother, Dr. Avril Danesh, is Scottish. He has two younger brothers; all three were named after Persian Kings. While studying English Literature at Edinburgh University, a chance audition and promise of a record deal led Darius to fame on the television show Popstars. He reached the final stages, and in 2001 auditioned for Pop Idol, where his voice was compared to that of Frank Sinatra. He won over the British public and critics, millions voted for him and he became the 'Under Dog' favorite for the Pop Idol title. Although Will Young went on to claim the Pop Idol title, Darius went on to have success on his own terms. Dariush Danesh has been cast as 'Rhett Butler' in Trevor Nunn’s musical production of Margaret Mitchell’s classic novel, "Gone With The Wind". We wish him

Statistically, people are more afraid of Spiders than of dying. All Polar Bears, are left handed. Butterflies, taste with their feet. A Cockroach, can live 9 days without its head,,, it only dies because it cannot eat. Humans and Dolphins are the only animals, that have Sex for pleasure. A ducks "quack" has no echo, nobody knows why. It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 Mosquitoes have teeth.

Jesus Through Iranian Eyes

Image
A new movie in Iran depicts the life of Jesus from an Islamic perspective. "The Messiah" is the name of the Film, Filmmaker Nader Talebzadeh says "We are talking about the same beautiful man, the same beautiful prophet, the same divine person sent from heaven. In the Koran, it emphasizes maybe three main points: about the birth, about the fact that he was not the son of God, and then, that he was not crucified. The rest is [the same] Jesus ... the sermons, and the miracles, and the political situation." According to what Islam says , Jesus, at the night of the last supper, ascends to heaven [without being crucified]. From What I heard the movie has 2 endings,,, one to please the West and the other to please the East...Nevertheless the Vatican has rewarded it, so The US Christian fundamentalists of New Hampshire and Ohio will have a hard time bedeviling Iran's intentions and making another caricature Crisis out of it . Lets just hope it promotes dialogs a

Irans Oil Bourse

Image
Iran will open an oil trading exchange that operates in Euro s rather than dollars -- until now, the world's sole currency for buying crude. Other countries, whose central banks were holding onto dollars largely to buy oil, will dump their dollars en masse. The greenback's value will collapse. The U.S.-dominated New World Order will disappear in a flurry of currency trades.(or at least its momentum will be temporarily terminated, at least until the Neocon bunch are thrown out of office) The petroleum-rich Iran has pursued the idea, off and on, for years. The bourse would rival the New York Mercantile Exchange and International Petroleum Exchange in London -- the twin centers of the oil-trading world. What will happen if it really kicks off,,, this third Oil Bourse... ?? Oil is being bought for almost $60 per barrel,,,, but the giant Oil companies like Shell, Esso, BP and all the other ones (not to mention Halliburton)where Cheeney and Bush have a lot of interest in, Bri

Anti-Semitism ?

Image
This Blogger believes, the term "anti-semitic" is a politically motivated reproach to manipulate and disarm ones adversaries....... What exactly does this word mean .... A Semite person, is either an Arab or Jew... they are both children Abraham s the prophet. So one can NOT be "anti-semitic" and have one or the other as friend or relative. Iranians are certainly not anti-semitic and the charge the Americans and the Israelis, in short followers of the "AI PAC" organization is false.......AI PAC is a powerful interest group in the US, with a fortune at hand that equals the same as the whole of the third world nations together, the Media is also under their monopoly and control and these people decide who to systematically destroy or promote. There is an endless list of peoples, individuals and politicians that have been destroyed and an equal number of them promoted into positions to achieve the dominance aspired. (German politicians like Barschel and Moell

Hard to live in IR Iran

Image
We all know, how difficult life is under the Islamic Republic. Their daily hypocrisies, their legal system, womens rights, their bureaucratic resistances to every liberal move in society, be it social or political. This blogger believes somehow the West has some complicity in some of the daily hardships in Iran.....Every time people in Iran start to move on and push the system step by step towards small and bigger social changes.....which GOD only knows how hard that is !!!,,,,then suddenly a new US President(BUSH) emerges as the leader of the Western world and brands Iran as an enemy.. and thus gives those seeking an excuse to suppress this progress in the name of national security a reason to nullify the improvements .........as a result of which Iranians elect an equal image of BUSH into the Iranian presidential office.....AHMADINEJAD One might ask,,, would there have been this President in Iran,,,?? hadn't Bush declared Iran an axis of Evil... ?? One cancels the other out....

Why "NOT" a monarchy anymore

Image
This humble blogger, believes that if the Iranians should ever decide to have another system of governance.... which is like the nuclear issue their certain right ;) ... then it should never be the Pahlavi dynasty. The first Pahlavi Shah was a hand picked peasant, by the Brits, and was only chosen, because the other guy refused to accept the throne. (Mirza Kuchek Khan). Took the man 15 years to emancipate, and was then thrown out for disobedience. The second Pahlavi, allowed Iran's democracy to be compromised in 1953. He might have thought he is serving.... but many know him to have been a servant of the West. One should never forget, the Shah imprisoned his loyal servants like Hoveida and many like him and released all the leftists,communists and religious revolutionaries from prison before he himself ran off with his family. WHAT exactly did he think was gonna happen ???!! The third half Pahlavi, is receiving some $ 75,000 monthly from the CIA to cover his monthly expenses....
