Who is Amir Taheri


Amir Taheri is an Iranian of “Arab” origin, a very much celebrated reporter and analyst for mainly western media outlets. Amir Taheri was born in Ahvaz/Iran in 1942 .How he obtained his qualifications and what and who were his different promoters in life, we consider irrelevant. Important is, he is an outspoken anti Iranian person and usually turns up when MI6, has a “Black Operation” on the agenda against Iran. Amir Taheris articles and commentaries ought never to be taken seriously, except for an orientation of what the MI6 wants the news consumers to be preoccupied with. As an example of his style, I mention only one case…

In June 2006, Amir Taheri claimed and wrote in the “Canadian National Post” that Iran was considering a new legislation, requiring “Jews” to wear distinctive clothing.. (Like the Nazi era, yellow Star of David), with this educated nonsense, he kick-started a series of articles in the western media. Needless to mention Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post jumped at the article and Jerusalem Post was in on it soon after. Australian papers, despite of the Canadian National post having retracted the story as “Nonsense” went ahead and reprinted the story. A couple of Iranian/American Royalists confirmed that there was such a rumour, their constant mentioning of the word “holocaust” while talking of this so called “Rumour” fed the New York Sun an ultra conservative US paper in promoting this disinformation campaign against Iran a while longer, whilst pressuring the White house for a military show down with Iran.

Important here, is to know that Taheri is a member of Benador Associates, a public relations firm that lists a large number of leading neoconservatives, including American Enterprise Institute (AEI) associates Richard Perle, David Frum, Michael Ledeen, Michael Rubin, and Joshua Muravchik, among its clients. Major boosters of the war with Iraq, Benador clients, who also include former Central Intelligence Agency chief James Woolsey and former Israeli minister Natan Sharansky, have also called for the Bush administration to take a hard line against Iran.

I would like to end this with the following conclusion,

“The Institute for Media Ethics is convinced that the honesty or dishonesty of media affects the mental health of the world. Freedom of expression is vital as a means of permitting all views to flourish peacefully. It is a cliché that the price of this freedom must be continual vigilance – in particular vigilance to identify and expose the encouragement of malice, war and the incident of hate speech and image”.

Furthermore underneath is an interview with Fox, and please note the negative sarcasm constantly thrown back at the interviewer, certainly "NOT" to the benefit of Iran and peace

The Sanctions

Mr. M. Sahimi wrote "When she was running for president in 2008, Hillary Rodham Clinton threatened to obliterate Iran if it attacked Israel. Her opponent, Barack Obama, responded that Clinton’s threat was "too much like Bush" Four years later Iran has not attacked Israel (and will not do so, unless attacked by Israel first), but President Obama is actually carrying out the threat that his current secretary of state made in 2008, waging an undeclared war on Iran and Iranians. The U.S. and Israel have launched cyber attacks, assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists , and supported armed ethnic groups that carry out terrorist operations inside Iran, killing innocent people. In addition, Israel has been active in the  Kurdistan region of Iraq and in the Republic of Azerbaijan , encouraging and supporting small separatist movements among Iranian ethnic groups, such as the Kurds and Azeris. But the most devastating part of the undeclared war on Iran is the tough econ

Chaldoran 1514 AD

Image
It was late summer in the year 1514, and Iran had a new dynasty in power(The Safavid 1501-1722). The distinctive difference here was the fact that the Safavids were the first "Shia" dynasty that used all methods in the book to convert all Iranians into a homogeneous religion, since the "Iranshahr" factor (which was the name that Iranians used for their country) did not seem enough to mobilize a sense of national unity to refute new national threats, mainly the Afghans and the Turks. The Safavid used issues like the marriage of "BiBi-Shahrbanu" (sister of the last Sassanid King) with "Imam Hussain" and the fact that the fourth Shia "Imam Zein-Ol-Abedin" had not only prophet blood, but also Iranian Royal blood, which stimulated nationalistic feelings of even the most fanatic Sunni Iranians to convert. Furthermore the most convincing argument, was the sword and the famous sentence attributed to the founder of this dynasty was "Either

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
