Harvesting/Abuse/Extremism

Image
The three above mentioned terms could easily be considered the “Misnomers” of 2009/2010, unfortunately not all of them have received equal attention in the press which will become perfectly comprehensible if we look at the perpetrators….. now a few words to each term. Organ Harvesting: A Swedish newspaper broke the news, and finally after much careful research and undercover investigations,(well aware of the usual systematic consequences) they confirmed what so many Palestinians have been claiming for decades. The Israelis have been arresting (randomly at times) Palestinian youths, and after having kept them in their prisons for a while releases them, then tracks them down and kill them removing their Organs and sending it to a syndicate in New York. All of what they did with these “harvested organs” was uncovered by the FBI last year. The Rabbies that were arrested for dealing with these organs naturally refused to acknowledge where the organs were coming from. My point of intere...

Happy New Year !

Once again we reach the 21 of March, and as mother nature renews itself , millions of Iranians and beyond, prepare for a new push in life. The usual prayer is “O Director of hearts and vision, O Master of Night & Day , O thou Owner of universe & being, bless and better our World & lives (my terrible translation),but in these special times of war and hazard, we add… Dear God, we beg of you as always to keep our all beloved Iran safe from its ”enemies”, bless Iran and keep it immune from the “Lies” surrounding it , help its people by keeping drought and earthquakes away from its blessed borders…. Furthermore “ Forgive us for having “not” considered, what we ought to have considered…. Forgive us for “not” having written, what we ought to have written…. Forgive us for “not” having said, what we ought to have said…. And Forgive us for “not” having done, what we ought to have done.“

The thing with the Iranian flag...

Image
The Iranian flag with its 3 different known versions, manifests different political streams, but as far as I know, not many actually know the meaning of the symbols they so vehemently insist on hissing. There are surely many different stories to them depending on who you ask, but we shall simply tear down the wall of made up realities and hope to plant the seed of awareness so certain versions are let go to drift into history where it belongs. One is the pre-revolutionary tricolor with the Lion and the sun emblem holding a sword. The story behind this emblem started in 1795 when the founder of the “Kajar” dynasty… Agha-Mohammad Shah , started his military campaign against the “Zand” dynasty using his tribal emblem a red “Lion and the Sun ” (taken over from the Afshar Dynasty with a few changes) to announce who and what he represents. As he successfully conquered different towns, provinces and cities,  he started to demand loyalty and allegiance from different tribes and cities...

Downgrading relations !

Image
Iran's relationship with the island of Britain has never been easy, yet it has been constantly there. Worth mentioning is the undeniable fact that the British with no legal authority except the power to close Irans ports have been stealing Iran's resources since 1905, not to mention the priceless artifacts and books that have ended up in different British museums without legal justifications, one tends to hope that every single item will have to be accounted for and dealt with at some stage. Enough of the old wounds,lets move to the new ones,there are many who consider the latest events in Iran, as some British MI6 attempt to destabilize and cause unrest just as they did in 1953, and judging from history one might consider these speculations as legitimate. However there are certain attempts to downplay, by belittling this anti British sentiments in Iran, defining it as a trivial cultural misunderstanding and underneath I have embedded a documentary to show you how it is being a...

Turkish dilemma

Image
Turkey is known by all to be a very nationalistic country, also known is their socially secular attitude due to reforms based on the personality cult of “Ataturk” who kick-started Turkeys modern era by changing (God knows why ! ) their alphabet and insisting to be European and not Asian. Turkeys diverse religious affiliations are not so traditionally anchored in their society as in some other oriental countries, yet the peoples of Turkey, consisting mainly of Turks and Kurds (“Mountain Turks” as the Turkish majority insists to call its Kurdish minority) have voted into power an Islamic oriented political party which has been astonishingly successful in both economical and geopolitical spheres. However, this success came partly along with their willingness to play Israel’s “silent Bob” and giving them the necessary alibi when the Israelis went on their regular shooting sprees to create and safeguard their living space. The “Gaza” war and its horrendous genocidal outcome, was somehow e...
