Once upon a time , there was a woman in England born around 1488-89 and lived to be around 70 (quite an achievement in those days). Her name was "Ursula Southeil" and she was known to have been a witch, in our day and age of pop culture and Harry Potter, being called a witch is considered a term of endearment, but in her time it was dangerous, furthermore her optic was known to have been hideously unattractive (not proven) which resulted very much in her having had the classical reputation of a witch. Our point of interest in her is more than her life and times, her prophecies made that woman a phenomenon long after she had died. Her writings were discovered some generations later, her predictions up until the mid 20th century proved to be correct, that amongst others makes her prophecies as of now, even more attractive. The following is not necessarily in chronological order but rather an excerpt of which, encourages us in giving her the benefit of the doubt, judge for yours...

Once again, we read and hear about a supposed secret war that Israel is pursuing against Iran, in which Iran's human resources as it is humanly called are the target. Lets just forget for a moment, had Iran been after Israels so called human resources to sabotage some industry or achieve some other political leverage as Israel supposedly is doing, it would have been called terrorism.... nevertheless, The "Daily Telegraph" a British newspaper, brought this up and threw this so called information into the open. They have identified a man called "Ardeshir Hassanpour" who died in 2007 (which was no secret in the first place, he was a Prof. at Shiraz University) as proof and now hopes to kick start a psychological warfare against Irans scientific establishment. The fact that this very newspaper"Daily Telegraph" refused to cover the magnitude of the Gaza offensive, reveals their explicit political affiliation and they are known to be close to the foreign mi...

Omid Djalili, is a British born and raised, but of Iranian origin comedian. He was born in 1965 in London from Iranian parents. His humor is typically British, and in order to distinguish and make his act more appealing, Omid Djalili has added very effective hyperactive gestures, like dancing along with in Britain much appreciated accent imitations. His own ethnic background, allows him to trivialize and make fun of the up and running British multiculturalism, without being in the slightest bit politically incorrect. I have embedded a couple of his appearances .. what can I say, he is a funny guy...

Maziar Jobrani, known as Maz Jobrani, (because the Americans can not seem to remember names with more than 3-4 letters) was born in 1972 in Tehran-Iran, he is an actor and comedian. Jobrani has a BA in political science from Berkeley and at some point decided to pursue an acting carrier . Jobrani has appeared in some movies and has made a name for himself in the difficult world of stand up comedy. Underneath I embedded a couple of his shows and appearances .

Obamas extended hand, shall receive a hand to shake, but as Iran and the US sit down at the table, they shall soon realize, there is no trust, no apologies and no actual will to solve any of their outstanding issues, after 30 years of deliberate animosity. The USA needs an enemy to justify their military expenditure and presence in sensitive areas (like the Mid East) to safeguard "their" oil that God had mistakenly misplaced. Iran on the other hand needs the US as the devil to justify their iron fist on the society. But should my assumption be wrong and Iran and the US are genuinely seeking a reconciliation ! then certain issues have to be accounted for by the US, and the reasons for the justifiable mistrust in the Iranian political machinery. 1- The destruction of Iran's democracy in 1953, through a coup and reinstalling the Shah, that left very deep scars by the Iranians, whose independent minded souls will never forget nor forgive. 2- Iran/Iraq war, the unbelievably...

Iran managed to launch and place its long awaited and promised satellite in orbit, and seems to be successfully communicating with it, the satellite is called "Omid" and is supposed to circulate Earth 15 times per day for about 2 months, until the batteries run out and it stops communicating. The carrier on the other hand seems to be the more interesting part of this project, it is called "Safir 2" and it verifies the mastering of the 2 staged missile technology. As expected, being the 9th country to be sending a satellite into space, didn't receive any positive enthusiasm in the west, partly because it doesn't fit into the constantly propagated picture of a despotic backward society that wants to destroy the world and partly because they know that when a country has mastered the 2 staged missile technology, then "sky is the limit" what range and capabilities of missiles could be. Is this a source of pride ? yes certainly for any Iranian. Further...

Its been thirty years, since the bitter cold January morning, where the last Shah of Iran left Tehran with his wife never to return, and its been thirty years since Khomeini's return. We don't want to go into details of the whys or the causes of this revolution, because the answer to a typical why always depends on whom you ask, all answers would be irrational and politically oriented. Fact is Iran had a problem, a massive social problem unnoticed by the social elite of the time living in and around Tehran, a country of then 36 Million (now 75 million) scattered in a country as big as Western Europe (Germany/France/Spain and the Benelux countries combined) has never been easy to influence similarly, as Teheran's youth of the newly formed Middle Class was enjoying the unadulterated fruits of western nightlife, the Majority of Iran's youth unable to afford the same flashy privileges was finding comfort elsewhere, some in Marxist teachings and some in religious teachings....
