Hypothetical chain of events

Image
What is written here, could actually happen in the near future,,, so lets be a bit open to speculations. What if The Israeli Govt. starts to make unequivocal advances towards its three main adversaries, Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria,, making promises and suggesting dialogs for the return of their Land and hoping to tie them down to endless rounds of meetings with setbacks and progress (one step ahead and two steps back) as they have done with the PLO for the last decade or so. Iran shall have its proxies tied up and neutralized for at least a certain period of time..... in which a surgical attack takes place and certain areas are Bombed by US forces , furthermore USA occupies the three Persian Gulf Islands claimed unlawfully by the UAE. Sets up massive military bases there and thus lets the Iraqi Govt. off the hook for its 50 military bases in their country. . Iran's objections and retaliation plans already compromised by the loss of its allies in the Arab world or at least until tho...

Scientology is undeniably a cult

Image
Scientology is not only a cult,,,, but a dangerous one.. due to 5 reasons; (1) It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate & retain its members. (2) It forms an elitist totalitarian society. (3) Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable & has charisma. (4) It believes 'the end justifies the means' in order to solicit funds & recruit people. (5) Its wealth does not benefit its members or society. Scientology simplified,,, read for yourselves and laugh your souls out..... Scientologists ACTUALLY believe the evil alien ruler Xenu killed a lot of aliens (Thetans) from around the universe by bringing them to earth & blowing them up inside volcanoes. They believe the souls of these aliens (these souls are "Body Thetans") have attached themselves to us & cause many of our mental & physical ills. Members who know about Xenu will attempt to deny it or pretend like it doesn’t matter. They are required to sign ...

Women’s Rights in Iran

Image
One very wrong assumption amongst the World public opinion towards Iran and its treatment of women, is that they (World) think Iranian women had all the rights they could possibly wish for during the Shahs rule... This could not be further from the truth. The same Inheritance law was implemented as today and the same marriage Laws, and exactly the same custody law concerning children, women could not travel without permissions from their spouses and the same polygamous rights existed in favor of men only that in 1970 a law was passed where the men had to get permission from their wives…. So lets not lose sight of the realties and blame everything on the present system of Governance. ( although, Judgeship is one right women have lost due to the revolution) The difference today is, that Iranian women have become one of the most and best educated women in the World, and are demanding justifiably their absolute equality in every level and perspective of Life. The understanding ...

Iran, USA and Iraq

Image
Iraq was occupied by a belated and compelled UN resolution in 2004 and now the USA is asking the Iraqi Govt. to sign a security pact, legitimizing a military occupation after 2008 . Demanding over 50 military bases and full control over Iraq's air space, unadulterated immunity for not only the military personnel but also all US citizens running around getting rich building a house or a bridge anywhere in Iraq paid by Iraq's Oil Billions..... The Iraqi/Arab humiliation will reach a peak that is unprecedented in the history of mankind......as if not enough, The American Neocons, demand it to run indefinitely. What does it all mean for Iran?? having already been surrounded by so many US military bases starting from Western Oman through to Bahrain and Qatar, Saudi Arabian and Kuwait,,, a logistic center in southern Turkey and Azerbaijan... right around to Tajikistan and not to forget Bagram in Afghanistan....The US seems to have realized that any campaign against Iran will result i...

Remembering Howard Baskerville

Image
Howard Baskerville was born in 1885 in Nebraska USA. He was a Teacher at the American missionary in Tabriz Northern Iran ,arriving there 1907 , in the midst of the Iranian Constitutional revolution. The Iranian Constitutional Revolution was suffering heavily and Local paramilitary Leaders like Sattar-Khan and Bagher-Khan were drumming up support in other cities such as Isfahan, Shiraz, Bandar-Abbas, Busher, Mashhad and some other provinces to fight the Royalists In these hard and volatile times, the contagious revolutionary mood of the time caught up with young Howard and he fought alongside the Nationalists against the Blockade of Tabriz. This blockade was causing much hunger and suffering in those days. Later he led a group of around 100 fighters against the Royalists, in which he was shot and died almost instantly, Howard C. Baskerville, was in the eyes of the Iranians, the very reason for their affection towards Americans, Bless His sacrifice and Damn those Americans that destroye...

Bush's Economic plan made simple

Image
I doubt Bush knows much about what he talks about, but yet he reads the stuff and the biggest economy in the world has to follow, so lets simplify what he actually did to the US economy Simplification; The Bush people ( Federal Reserve) want to print money and distribute it amongst the poor, for them to spend and thus feed the domestic economy. The money that is supposed to be spent, will be spent to buy goods from stores,,, these goods are 80% produced abroad (not in the US) so this money flows abroad and not in the economy. So more money has to be printed and the value of dollar shall fall even more. Fact is American economy does not manufacture. It only manufacture 10% to 20% the rest is retail and service...everything comes from abroad because it has to stay cheap. It used to be other way around but the realities are different now, may be next time the 49% Americans who elect according to their church policies will reconsider and look beyond their picket fences, when they vote.
