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)

Iran's political system simplified

Image
May be one of the most misunderstood countries of the world today is Iran. Reading and hearing reports of Iran, written by mostly uninformed reporters, whose knowledge of Iran limits itself in 2 meals consumed at some Persian restaurant in some big city. Furthermore, their self-assertions sometimes crosses the barriers of ignorance and as a reader one feels irritated and frustrated. Some call it disinformation, but I would like to call it irresponsible illiteracy. I take it upon me to simplify the A-B-C of the Iranian political hierarchy for any one interested to know from top to bottom, who knows maybe it helps to neutralize the stultification of some western news consumers, should they bother to read. Supreme Leader / This position is elected by the Assembly of Experts,the "Leader" is the commander in chief of all armed forces and can have the last say in all major issues of internal or foreign relevance, Radio and TV heads are named by the Leader,Head of the Judiciary i...
