Sanctions, Schmanctions !

Professor Flynt Leverett recently made a short video for Penn State’s School of International Affairs,he discusses the impact of sanctions and other sorts of coercive pressure on Iran, arguing that “we are not going to be able to sanction them, browbeat them, or even bomb them into surrender. We need to be able to come to terms with them....

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...

Remembering Pirouz Nahavandi (Abu LouLou)

Image
Pirouz Nahavandi was a high ranking Persian (Iranian) military commander. He was taken captive in Nahavand during the Arab invasion. He was enslaved by an Arab called " Mughira" who became the governor of the city of "Basra"(Iraq today) . Pirouz is known amongst the Arabs as "Firouz" since the Arabic language does not have the letter "P" in their alphabet, Pirouz happened to be quite a craftsman, and thus a source of income for his jailer, so it wasn't long before he made it to the Arab elite circles, namely "Omar" their leader, or as they call them Caliph. There are many stories about Pirouz Nahavandi and about what happened and what he said and not said, but fact is the Arabs always tried to write history in a manner in which they (Arabs) were seen as liberators and any attempt to resist or fight them, would be ridiculed and trivialized. One really has to put him or herself in the position of Pirouz, a proud, capable father an...

Je suis Adolf !

Image
A never ending psychodrama of collective social mass manipulation everywhere and by everyone. The murderers of those world weary journalists in Paris were probably none more than a few naive, adventurous and apocalyptic oriented youngsters, recruited and radicalised by Saudi Arabian terrorist headhunters. Headhunters that are of the same magnitude as those CIA or Mossad headhunters that constantly recruit young drifters with desperate aspirations, turn them and send them to murder scientists and engineers in countries not in their political sphere (Iran).....having said that, there are no differences between these terrorists and those terrorists. As long as terrorism is the instrument to gain political and social agendas, then one probably ought not be surprised to see the backlashes right at their front doors... Terrorism with all its hypocrisy is being used , as it seems, by everyone ! We saw the indignation and outrage throughout France and some other weste...
