The first step !

Upon the Iranian new year celebrations, President Obama, has taken the much anticipated first conciliatory step towards Iran, that is to say the belated reaction to Iran's congratulatory message to his Presidential victory. Nevertheless it was a fine message, very balanced and thought through. One should not underestimate the pressure he is under to prolong official animosities towards Iran through the very strong Israel lobby "AIPAC", but he seems to have pulled it off and then gone to California to appear in a talk show to firstly divert the national attention towards even more financial mismanagements and secondly to escape the republican upsurge because of the message, which was partly televised.

With this in mind, I hope Iran will construe this development properly and grasps this opportunity to make its case. The dangers of a war is not completely over, since Israel could target an American vessel in the Persian Gulf then have it blamed on Iran, to instigate a backlash, (they have done it before) or they might just start a smear campaign against President Obama, just like the Clinton/Lewinski affair to completely bog the administration down, we know they can do this and they have proven it often enough through their unequivocal influences in the press.

But lets be optimistic on this first day of spring, and wish all Iranians and non Iranians who value this ancient tradition of celebrating the renewal of nature a very blessed new year.

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...
