Remembering Amir Kabir


Amir Kabir was born in 1807, his real name was Taghi AmirNezam, was the son of a Cook that worked for Prime Minister Farahani a Minister in the Kajar dynasty , as a consequence of which, he learned a lot of how to deal and weal in the political arena of those days, where the British were enjoying a superpower status and the Russians were trying to catch up.... and Iran was somewhere in between being mercilessly squeezed out of its potential.

At some point he reached Diplomatic status where he was dispatched to resolve long standing border issues with the Ottoman Empire with success. There are many stories about him, which some are true and some are not. True is that he was very Anti-British and later in life when he became the Iranian Prime Minister, he tried to play the British and the Russians out against each other. He did open a few Modern Schools, but lost Herat (Afghan City) to the British colonial rulers of Afghanistan, where they needed a safe haven before the Iranian Borders in case the Russians marched in.

He moved against the BAHAI faith, what he considered a British generated initiative to divide the Shia as he was convinced that Wahabism was a British generated cult to divide the Sunnis.

Whatever the case the British revenge on all his policies was through his Mother in law, who happened to be the Mother of the Shah too, She ( Shah's Mother) was as illiterate as an Alabama Bushman, and was told that Amir Kabir was after the throne and bla bla bla,,, this resulted in the awakening of her mother instincts to protect her teenage son. After intoxicating her son(The Shah) in one of those insider parties, she had him sign Amir Kabirs death sentence.

Which she made sure was carried out in the same night, before the Young King annulled it. There are surely much more details about him in history... but we quit it here and hope to have risen your appetite to know more of him

Amir Kabir was murdered in the City of Kashan in a public Bath in 1852, He was 45 years old.

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T...

A Dangerous Woman !

UK’s Independent wrote , “The leader of Germany’s main right-wing anti-migrant party has caused political uproar by insisting that the country’s border police should be authorised to “ shoot at refugees” trying to enter the country illegally. Frauke Petry , the 40-year-old leader of Germany’s (a mother of four who recently left her pastor husband for a neo-nazi boyfriend) once merely Euro sceptic but now increasingly xenophobic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, made her controversial demands after addressing a political meeting in Hanover at the weekend. “Police must stop migrants crossing illegally from Austria,” Ms Petry told the Mannheimer Morgen newspaper. “And, if necessary, use firearms. That is what the law says. (actually she is dead wrong on the law issue) ” She added: “I don’t want this either, but the use of armed force is there as a last resort.” Her remarks were the most extreme political response so far by a substantial political figure to mounting publ...

Vaccinating Egypt !

Image
This once cradle of an unparalleled civilization, the land in which its scientists and mathematicians, its thinkers and inventors, used the through generations of incestuous intermarriages, genetically inferior Pharaohs and their manipulability, and made some of the longest-lasting, unique and enigmatic monuments, in the history of mankind. We should also not forget the Egyptian culture, after its Islamisation, which was not of lesser importance. Their Universities and philosophical centres were all magnets for all regional cultures and an inspiration for generations throughout centuries for peoples beyond its borders. Egypt’s ups and downs in history, have been fairly moderate, comparing it to other nations, one seems to get the impression that it all had its use for the Egyptian culture. The only deficit an observer might detect here is their inability to adopt positive and useful cultural features from their so-called cultural invaders, which due to its geo-political situation happ...
