Forced defection !

The videos underneath are two completely different versions of the story of a young Iranian scientist who disappeared while on a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. His story is known amongst those interested, his name "Shahram Amiri". He reveals in this tape of his abduction,torture and transport to the US, he was probably clever enough to play the relieved and that of the liberated in order to get the breathing space needed to make and smuggle a tape to Iran, thus securing his survival. Judging from the almost immediate emergence of a new tape claiming exactly the opposite.... I suppose he is not so free to move anymore. The second interview was suppose to refute the Iranian Video.

Any one who knows the A-B-C of such political tug of "media" war, would immediately realize that the man was kidnapped and he cleverly played along, he used the space and informed his country of his situation hoping for Iran to follow up on his case. The US side on the other hand, kept blocking and would not accept Iran's allegations and so Iran decided to publish its proof... now everyone knows of his case, and Shahram's situation has only tactically improved. Lets hope he can be returned safely home to his family, and not be tortured any further (as stated in his first tape). This kind of abductions should not be allowed to become a tool of politics and following up on it is every diplomats duty, regardless of nationality. If ignored, the next scientist or human right activist or any other unique personality could be the next target.

Here are the tapes, make your own thoughts..





In the meantime there is a third tape, and in this third tape he states that only the first tape was authentic and the second tape was forced by the CIA and now he has escaped the CIA officers and is in constant danger... he requests help (there is no English subtitled version of it,until there is take my word for it)

He seems back home, and the west and its media still perplexed and trying to understand the "how" and "Why" of it.

The answer is actually simple, when you accept Iran not to be the hell western media insist it to be.

whatever the case, Iran won this round.

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...
