Provocative Iranians

Iranian Free Will
It is sad, so sad, that we Iranians just cannot do, what every human being on Earth has managed to do. Why is it, that we cannot just talk to each other, about having a peaceful union? Surely if we Iranians, talked about peace and love amongst each other, we can overcome anything, especially anything that wants to take away our Iranian Free Will.

Neighbour
So have you looked around you, to see if you and your fellow neighbour get along? You probably know that you care for each other. Now why not think that the whole of Iran can agree the same way? We can then peacefully unite. That unity is a mighty force. A unity based on peace, that would be able to oppose hatred.

Hate Ideal
There are in Iran people who promote hate. They will tell you about a certain ideal, that you have to believe in. You will ignore your Free Will, and be forced to submit to what they call 'Ideal'. They will tell you, to forget your Iranian side, and follow them. But you can spot them, and ask them a few questions they cannot answer. Your chance to sort your own problems has arrived. You do not need anyone else.

Passive Resistance
The world cannot sort out Iran's problems. The world will defend itself, but it cannot change Iran. People like you and the people of Iran, showed passive resistance by ignoring the Seyyeds, with the low turnout in the Seyyed's elections. So you hit the Seyyeds, and they are worried. They are feeling provoked, but it needs to get worse. You need to talk more.

Iranian First
The people of Iran must talk more about the Iranian Spirit of Peace and Human Rights, as it exists in our oldest books like Zend Avesta to Hafez. We are all children of Zoroaster and Cyrus the Great. We are no different than Ferdowsi. We feel the Iranian Peace in our hearts. We love to be Iranian first.

Economic Engine
To be an Iranian first, is to not foul Iran's Holy Land with blood. So we Iranians cannot wage war, but we can talk about stopping the economic engine of Iran. Yes you can talk to your neighbour, and tell him how you can beat the Seyyed Empire, with just the talk about a Non Violent Resistance.

The Best
NVR has saved so many countries, and it will save Iran. Yes it will, but I need you to talk about it. Please show the world that your Spirit does not believe in dying or killing. Tell me you Love Life. Tell me you wish the best for your mind; that you wish the best in your bonds; that you wish the best in your actions.

Anger Management
With this positive attitude, you will put Iran's Spirit first, and wish no harm. You will convince even the most angry Seyyed, that you can take his anger. Remember how the Hindus took the anger of the British and they left. Gandhi provoked the British aliens peacefully. We Iranians can do the same.

Gaea
We Iranians face the horror of an alien war on our Holy Land. Think that the land you walk on is precious. Feel that it was once the most civilized land on Earth. The soil was never wasted or ruined with death or pollution. Respect for our mother Earth made it the wealthiest land on Earth. Look at Damavand, and know that it gave strength to both Rostam's arms and Hafez's mind. You feel the same. You are Iranian.

Iranians ignoring Seyyeds' Rent-a-Crowds

Not to zoom in
The Seyyeds in Iran, long ago, realised that their religious dogma did not wash any more with the secular masses of Iran. Ironically they have to use nationalism in the form of nuclear rights. Unfortunately the world media, especially the BBC, refuses not to zoom in with their TV cameras, on Seyyed's rent-a-crowds. Also the neocons all over the world use this propaganda to foster their global domination paranoia. So the world remains under the false belief; that 70 million Iranians are die-hard mad Islamist Fascists living under the stern rule of Seyyeds.

No blood needed
So what can real secular Iranians, who believe in Free Will, Iranian cultural matters, and economic survival, do to make the world media more aware of their plight against the Seyyeds? Maybe they should organize rent-a-crowds of their own, and try to catch the BBC camera's eye? Maybe just maybe that will discredit the Seyyeds in Iran? Unfortunately many rent-a-crowds, or actually genuine secular Iranian crowds, have been disrupted by Seyyeds' thugs, and a lot of blood was spilled on the Holy Land of Iran. We Iranians cannot afford to have blood on the streets in this regime change. Enough!

Ignore TV
But there is another way, and I am glad to say, it is a much safer way. The people of Iran, must continue to talk of the power of Non Violent Resistance, but not from street marches. Big brother or TV and its media controls the world media, and the secular Iranians are paying a high price for it. Don't for one minute think that the world media tycoons cannot change the regime in Iran if they wanted to. Who would have thought that the mightiest military of the Middle East could be so easily overcome in 1978-1979 Seyyed uprising against the national character of Iran? So they can do it now. But they won't.

Internet
But nowadays it is different. Thanks to the Internet, people can express and show their dissent against the media via Blogs and personal web spaces. We all know the huge presence of Iranian Opposition via the Internet. It is however very difficult to create a physical face to face resistance like street wars via the Internet. But the Internet generation of Iran has pushed forward something completely different. It is called 'inaction'. The Iranian people are not participating in Seyyed gatherings. Even the old uneducated superstitious generations know better. But you won't see a TV documentary on it.

Inaction
Inaction, defiance, and total disregard for anything the Seyyeds in Iran want of the secular Iranian population, worked in the last "Ayatollah elections". The little black man, as Nostradamus calls him, is now cornered. Nostradamus mentioned that he would drop a bomb near Israel in the Mediterranean and his proxies there did just that with Iran's oil fund. But now his proxies much nearer to Iran in the Basij army that get a hefty portion of the oil fund, abstained from that pathetic election. The Basij did not turn out in lorry loads to vote. Hooray apathy rules, and inaction has made good progress against the Seyyeds.

Apathy wins against Seyyeds
So it is with sincere pleasure, that I feel that the people of Iran have finally dissolved the Islamic virus from their brains, by not giving their hearts and minds to the alien Seyyed rulers of Iran. So The Good Spirit is there. The people are talking more and more about the power of apathy. So The Good Words Spirit is there as well. They have seen the simple and yet immensely powerful force apathy can have on zealots. So The Good Deeds Spirit is starting to make headway. Ignore them more my fellow country men and women. Just ignore them, and let them not have on iota of your Iranian attention. Do not participate in their rituals. But do talk about the new force of apathy, and the Spirit of Iran will overwhelm these death wishers, whose only pleasure is to recruit suicide bombers.

Open talk
Once the true secular Iranian people can talk openly, like I do to you, about lack of participation, then the world will realise that the people of Iran are not made of angry masses, easily roused by alien dogma. Do Iranians need foreign governments' help? Not really. I sound a bit vague, because I really do not expect the news media to question the Seyyeds grass roots support. The news media can be bought, and a lot of Iran's oil income goes toward keeping the likes of BBC, AP, Reuters, and AFX to shut up, and not show the real Iranians feeling towards the alien Seyyeds.

The question to ask
So what do you want the world media to say that they are not saying Ali Mostofi? That is what I hear you saying? Well, I want you Mr Editor to ask the question from the authorities illegally occupying the Peacock Throne and Majlis, what they would do if the people decided not to participate. This question is along the same hypothetical lines, as the question (that you keep asking the zealots), of what they would do in case there is a US attack. That question has managed to raise the temperature, and drive up oil prices on the exchanges. Just look at how well this little man's big mouth has managed to raise the oil price for no reason at all. If the world media had asked other scenarios from the little man, then maybe he would not be standing on his empty tin pot for so long.

Will of God vs Spirit of Iranians
So if the world press joined me, and asked the tin pot rulers of Iran, what could you do to stop a General Strike, then the very question will ensue a debate that will really embarrass them like never before in history of Islam, and in particular of Seyyeds. After all, they are supposed to have the "Will" of God behind them. How come the people of Iran, have managed to go against that "Will" so well? Can it be that the Spirit of Iran, is more powerful than any make belief dogma? But will the world media, have the charity to ask the zealots these questions, because we do not have any real opposition leader in Iran, with loads of spare cash to pay the world media to spread that idea?

Who will fight for Iran?

Who will fight for Iran? It is not an easy answer.

Who
At the moment, Seyyeds run Iran, propagating their Empire. Their self-acclaimed moral prerogative, is that they are related to Halabi Qureshi (aka Mohammed), who himself was brought to world attention, thanks to the abdication of the High Priest of Iran in the 7th Century AD to Christianity and then eventually to Halabi Qureshi. Ancient Iranian mythology (referred to by Christian historians as Zoroastrianism), speaks of an Iranian traitor; that creates a new revolution and overthrows the Iranian Empire; but much later is overthrown by a true Iranian.

Will
The next word in the question is "will". The word "will" immediately links ones mind to "will power". The inspiration behind will power has to be Iranian, and there we see the Iranian nation reading Ferdowsi to be inspired with Iranian nationality. This is the will power, that drives an Iranian to be Iranian, and its roots are from a Zoroastrian book called Khodayenamak. There are many other Iranian poets and philosophers that came after Ferdowsi, but it was he who had the will power to resurrect the "Iranian Will Power" as it were.

Fight
The word "fight" immediately brings on the impression of weapons and war. Whilst in today's world people fight with ideas, and the opposition overcomes dictatorship with massive non violent demonstrations and general strikes. That is not war with swords, that is war with words. Just count the number of real Iranians that participated in the latest Seyyed so called "elections" in Iran. Moreover the war of words by Iranian Bloggers is running circles around the Seyyed media in Iran. So real Iranians are winning against the alien Seyyeds in Iran right now.

For
"For" is the hardest word in the question. So many Iranians who are against the Seyyeds end up fighting for Seyyeds if Iran was attacked. They did so in the Iran-Iraq war. Iranians died in that war, not Seyyeds. But if the definition of "For" is Iran, then one can say that real Iranians are fighting in a non violent way for Iran from within Iran right now. Everywhere you go you will find the Seyyeds trying to intervene, but are circumvented by real Iranians. So much of the Iranian way of life has been sabotaged, and the economy is drained by Seyyeds' overspending in the nuclear industry, that real Iranians are openly and overtly criticising the Seyyeds. A massive peace movement "For" Iran to prevent a war for Seyyeds needs to be developed.

Iran
What is Iran? It is called in the Zend-Avesta as Eran-e-Vitch and it sounds Russian doesn't it. And old Iranian culture is much closer to the culture surrounding the Caspian Sea, than the culture around the Persian Gulf. The oldest inhabitants of Iran come from as far back as anywhere in the world. Yes, we in Iran have archaeological roots from what the archaeologists call the Olduwan in Kasharfud. And it is not surprising to find, that our ancient myth talks of our first rulers inventing the tools for civilization like fire and clothing. So the word Iran can be in itself have the meaning of the root of human civilization.

?
The question mark is perhaps the most interesting part of the whole sentence. Are there those of us, who are not focused on Iran properly? Some see Iran politically, religiously, or economically, and at the end lose sight of what it really is. They will raise too many questions and no answers. They are too cynical, because they do not have a belief system based on Iran. Only Iranians that have faith in the story of Iran or the Spirit; that is behind the story of Iran; will see the future of Iran; be part of it; and make a new Iran happen in an Iranian way. Others will remain cynical and lose interest over time.

A Policy to Topple the Mullahs

A Policy to Topple the Mullahs
By Kenneth R. Timmerman
FrontPageMagazine.com | February 16, 2006

The good news is that the Bush administration has finally understood that talking about freedom is not enough. The United States must devote serious assets to helping pro-democracy forces inside Iran, if there is to be any hope of a long-term resolution to the nuclear crisis with Iran.

The bad news is that after all these years, the administration still has no plan of how to do it.

Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice asked Congress yesterday for an extra $75 million to enhance radio and television broadcasting into Iran and to support pro-democracy forces inside Iran. But she couldn’t say with any precision, either during an open hearing with members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, or in a private briefing later that day, how she wanted to spend the money.

The new money comes on top of a $3 million appropriation for 2005, mandated by Congress, to help pro-democracy activitists inside Iran.

But State Department bureaucrats last year torpedoed specific grant proposals (including one by the Foundation for Democracy in Iran, which I represent), to help groups inside Iran. They argued that helping such groups would be seen by the Tehran regime as a hostile act and would violate the terms of the 1981 Algiers Accord that ended the 444-day hostage crisis. Mustn’t make Tehran angry.

Since then, of course, the showdown over Iran’s nuclear weapons programs has intensified, as has the regime’s repression of pro-democracy activists, unpaid miners, and striking bus drivers. According to an opposition website, Iran Press News, political prisoners were told by their jailors this week that “each and every one of you will be put to death” if Iran’s nuclear file is taken to the United Nations Security Council.

On Monday, 500 Sufi Muslims were arrested in Qom after they protested the closing of a Sufi religious center. Among them were 250 women and children.

Also this week, Ahmadinejad “wondered out loud” why the regime protects foreign embassies in Tehran, while the commander of the “Lovers of Martyrdom headquarters” in Tehran told supporters that Iran will vanquish the United States, Israel and our supporters through a protected campaign of suicide bombings.

Looks like we’ve made Tehran angry nonetheless. And yet, the United States still doesn’t appear to have a plan.

Senators Sam Brownback, R-KS, and Rick Santorum, R-PA, have proposed increasing funding for pro-democracy groups in Iran to $10 million this year. But until just yesterday, the State Department was opposing the Iran Freedom Support Act because the House version of the bill expanded mandatory U.S. sanctions to include European companies. The State Department argued that we mustn’t make the Europeans angry, especially when we need their votes at the IAEA and at the UN Security Council.

Finally, it appears, Miss Rice got angry. Or just stepped in and took charge. No administration likes Congress to tell it how to craft policy, although that is exactly what’s been happening with Iran since Congress first threatened sanctions in 1995.

“I want to thank the Congress for giving us $10 million to support the cause of freedom and human rights in Iran this year,” she said on Wednesday. So much for lifting the State Department block on the Brownback-Santorum bill.

“We will use this money to develop support networks for Iranian reformers, political dissidents and human rights activists,” she said. “We also plan to request $75 million in supplemental funding for the year 2006 to support democracy in Iran. That money would enable us to increase our support for democracy and improve our radio broadcasting, begin satellite television broadcasts, increase the contacts between our peoples through expanded fellowships and scholarships for Iranian students, and to bolster our public diplomacy efforts.”

All of this sounds encouraging, until you realize that the only part of the program that has any substance are existing Persian language broadcasts by the Voice of America and by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. And these broadcasts are themselves problematic.

First, VOA. While the Voice of America has tremendous talent, and has made serious efforts over the past year to expand its programming in Persian and make it more professional, VOA remains a U.S. government news source.

This can be an advantage, when the U.S. government speaks with one voice to deliver a powerful message. But more frequently it has been a disadvantage, since VOA’s charter does not allow it to actively subvert foreign governments. And that is precisely what we need in Iran.

In addition, VOA is turning away from radio programming to more expensive television broadcasts, which it intends to “simulcast” over its old radio frequencies. VOA will add one hour a day of short wave broadcasting later this year, in an effort to reach a less urban audience, but that is not enough.

The problem here is Iran’s poverty. Despite fabulous oil revenues, the World Bank estimates that Iran’s per capital income is around $2,000 per year. The audiences we need to reach do not all have access to television. And periodically, the regime conducts massive seizures of satellite dishes, which remain illegal.

We need more radio, especially short-wave, and programming that is geared to informing the Iranian people just how corrupt and brutal are their leaders, and that teaches them the mechanics of political organizing and non-violent protest.

In principle, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty could do this. But its Persian service, Radio Farda (“tomorrow”), has become an open object of ridicule to Iranians. Established in 1997, it became known as “Radio Khatami,” because it openly supported the “reformist” regime of the previous Iranian president, Mohammad Khatami. More recently, it has become irrelevant, playing Brittney Spear and other non-entities in hopes of attracting a younger audience, while splicing in just ten minutes of political programming each hour.

To her credit, Miss Rice seems instinctively to grasp the problem. We need to shut down Radio Farda, help VOA to produce quality radio programs in addition to TV talk shows, and hand over more money to Iranian broadcasters in Los Angeles and elsewhere who have their finger on the pulse of the people inside Iran.

Just as Miss Rice was testifying before Congress, a team of State Department officials was visiting Iranian-American broadcasters in Los Angeles to assess which programs might be worthy of U.S. support. My opinion: let a thousand flowers bloom. The Iranian-American broadcasters know how to craft their own programming. What they need is money to buy satellite time to beam into Iran, and short-wave transmitters to reach the broader population. We should give it to them.

The real question remains the one the State Department avoided last year: what type of programs should the U.S. be supporting inside Iran? And are we prepared for Tehran’s angry response, which could come in the form of a large number of small suicide packages?

The pro-democracy groups are out there. And they are chaffing at the bit. They know what to do and can’t wait to get started.

Anyone ready to overthrow a regime?
