Dr Mostafa Mesbahzadeh, father of modern Iranian journalism passed away last week. Yet another outstanding Iranian has left this world.
With backward savage-like creatures occupying Iran, one wonders if this country will ever recuperate from this 2nd Arabo-Muslim Occupation currently in effect in Iran? But our hopes for Iran and Iranians will never die. Our undying quest to liberate Iran from its oppressors will continue until complete victory.
God bless yet another Iranian pioneer who has left us...
Please see Mr Amir Taheri's tribute to "Aghaye Doktor" as he was always referred to...CLICK HERE.
Well I finally got my first slideshow done. It's very simple and I was trying out the different visual-effects that the program had as can be seen...
The slideshow is a compilation of photos from 1979-80. His Imperial Majesty's last wishes are read out by Empress Farah Pahlavi of Iran.
The Shahanshah of Iran passed away in Egypt, where a long-standing and honorable friend of the Iranian Nation - President Sadat - arranged a state funeral for one of the Greatest Iranians in history.
One of Shahanshah's last wishes was to one day be buried next to the heroes who defended the country and stayed loyal to the Iranian Monarchy to the last breath.
For those of you who read the previous PLEA for HELPING an IRANIAN REFUGEE FAMILY and followed up on it with relevant human rights bodies and the russian government - THANK YOU!
Ana, the daughter of Ms Kamalfar, tried to commit suicide as they were about to deport the family back to occupied Iran. This desperate act, by our young compatriot, FORCED the Russian authorities to postpone the deportation. A day later the outcry, regarding the extremely poor living conditions conditions provided by the Russian government to the Kamalfar's family, and imminent deportation to the terrorist Islamic Republic FORCED the European Court of Human Rights to issue an order barring any deportation of Mrs Kamalfar and her family for at least the coming 2 WEEKS. We need to continue pressuring relevant organizations and government bodies PROTECT the Kamalfar family from being deported to Iran where their lives would be in danger.
The MSM has also been FORCED to report on this with CNN covering it today. Please see the below report by PyjamasMedia - many thanks to PM's dedicated work for the Iranian Nation; suffering under occupation of a brutal Islamic force.
This is a big punch in the mouths of the Islamic Republic's lackey's in the west and the leaders of the occupational Islamic regime in Iran. We will not let them take this family away from us.
I've been updating the sidebar and re-organizing it in the past few weeks as you might have noticed.
I'm interested in creating slideshows with audio for youtube so if anyone has any suggestions on how to go about with this i'd appreciate it very much. I'd prefer free programs rather than professional software, as at the moment I do not have the time to dwelve into that area. Simple slideshows with audio would do for now, which I could then upload onto youtube.
Please contact me if you can help me with this or give me any advice if you are familiar with creating these kind of slideshows. I'm already in contact with a few fellow compatriots who are helping me...
That the day would come when we would speak of IRANIAN REFUGEES must have been taken as an insult or at best a joke by the late Shah of Iran! But here we are! 27 years after His Majesty was betrayed by his people and so-called allies in Europe and America - speaking of the inhumane conditions Iranian refugees, who have fled the Islamic Republic from HELL occupying their country, have to endure!
Iranian REFUGEES stranded at Moscow Airport for months!!! enduring unbearable living conditions!!!
Where are the LA Iranian TV's when it comes to the Kamalfar family?! Where are the Iranians who care for the plight of their own people!?
Please raise awareness on the Kamalfar family's cause and situation and do all in your power to HELP them!
Contact the MEDIA and your representatives in GOVERNMENT!
If a University of a few thousand can organize a rally for ONE of its students (dis-regarding the circumstances) what can a nation of 70 million do for this family!!?? We shall see!!!
An Iranian refugee family has been imprisoned in the Russian capital for 18 months. Zahra Kamalfar is an Iranian citizen made a refugee claim, together with her two minor children, Ana (DOB 1367-11-02) and Davood (DOB 1373-3-25) through UNHCR in Russia on or about May 3, 2005.
Originally, Zahra and the children were being kept at a hotel at the airport. However, several months ago, they were evicted from the hotel and forced to sleep in the open terminal. They have not had access to shower facilities and are restricted to public toilets.
Zahra and her husband were involved in demonstrations in Iran in the year 2000. In July 8 2004, Zahra was arrested and held in jail. Zahra was in jail for 8 months. Then she was released on a 48 hour pass to visit her family. She immediately fled Iran with her two children on April 6 2005. She and her two children went to Turkey on a false Bulgarian passport arranged by a smuggler. Zahra and her children then traveled from Turkey, transiting through Russia on their way to Germany. When they arrived in Germany, the authenticity of their passports was questioned. Zahra made asylum claims but their asylum claims were refused by German immigration authorities and then they were sent back to Russia. When they returned to Russia, they were detained by the Russian authorities. The Russian authorities then assaulted her and her daughter. The Russian authorities want to send Zahra and her children back to Iran. Zahra is afraid to return to Iran as she believes she will be sent to jail and run the risk of rape, torture and possibly death. She also fears her daughter will be at risk of being sexually assaulted and raped.
The Russian authorities now want to deport the family to Iran; something that the family is convinced will be devastating to their lives and safety. The Russian authorities are imposing pressure on the family by having them stranded in the transit hall of the Moscow International Airport for months, denying them all access to the most basic needs, including shower, proper food, etc. Regardless of the legalities of their case, this is a clear breach of all human rights principles.
Russia acceded to the 1951 Refugee Convention in 1993. As a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, Russia is responsible for carrying out the refugee status determination procedure and granting asylum to those people who are entitled to it.
We strongly urge the Russian immigration authorities and UNHCR in Russia to review Miss Zahra Kamalfar's case and grant her and her children refugee recognition based on her well-founded fear of future persecution and execution.
Two friends of mine in Sweden, the Khoshnood brothers, have some news-worthy updates on their blogs.
1) Arvin Khoshnood has challenged a Swedish MEDICAL PROFESSOR, who recently visited Iran and made political statements upon his return in favour of the tyrannical Islamic regime, to a debate. Amongst the statements this MEDICAL PROFESSOR has made are defending the Islamic Revolution and stating that the Islamic Republic has improved social life in Iran considerably, compared to before the revolution!
A link to this public challenge/letter (in Swedish) can be found by CLICKING HERE.
The biggest Iranian e-magazine in Scandinavia interviewed the Khoshnood brothers on this and the persian text can be found by CLICKING HERE.
2) Ardavan Khoshnood earlier this year filed a formal suit, with the Swedish police, against a shameless IRI tool in Sweden named Reza Khelili accusing him of crimes on three points:
-Polygamy -Not paying his TV license -Trying to deceive the Swedish state with his polygamy activities
Reza Khelili is member of the Swedish "Moderate Party" (Moderaterna) who won the elections this year.
One of the largest newspapers in Sweden - Expressen - has an article regarding the suit against this IRI supporter/mouthpiece in Sweden:
A few entries down you saw my entry on the Islamization of Iran and one of the youngest victims of this vicious anti-Iranian process. The videoclip of the brainwashed Iranian child imitating a mullah (Islamic religious leader) is very disturbing. If it is not for these very children of our motherland and future generations to come that we are in this cause for then what is it....
The Islamic Republic is an anti-Iranian terrorist Islamic regime that has to go - I cannot stress this enough. If you are an Iranian you have a patriotic duty - a duty to your country and countrymen. A duty to protect Iran and Iranians from all evil. Evil reigns in Iran today. Compatriot, never seize in carrying out your patriotic duty!
Having said that i'd like to present Guiv, a talented Iranian child who is denied to live in his occupied homeland but yet sings, at his young age, for the love of his country. One day not to far away all Iranian children will be as in touch with their heritage and love their country, above all else, the way Guiv does.
God bless this young talent.
Soroode Keshvaram Iran - By Guiv

Anjomane Padeshahi Iran (API), or the Kingdom Assembly of Iran, with the leadership of Forood Foladvand has set out on the last stages of "Operation Tondar" (Operation Thunder) which will hopefully be the "Liberation of Iran" before the Iranian New Year (March 21st, 2007).
Mr Foladvand after months of unjustly being denied his travel documents, which were seized in a raid by the British MI5, on the eve of the Islamic Republic's Presidential S-elections (The Brits obviously know who can threaten their subordinates' -mullah's- interests!), has through the help of an Iranian lawyer in London been able to retrieve his travel documents. He has embarked on a journey to Iran and will be joining forces with members of Anjomane Padeshahi in Iran at an undisclosed date. He currently delivers short messages, as he advances towards Iran, which are broadcasted on Anjomane Padeshahi Iran's television channel - which is a channel solely dedicated to the overthrow of the Islamic Republic.
What API needs of all Iranians is exposure. We need to communicate this cause to Iranians inside Iran and abroad. Everyone needs to be AWARE that API has plans to overthrow the Islamic Republic and that they need to be ready to join forces when the first strike hits. This hurts nobody.
The way this operation will be carried out has not been disclosed for obvious reasons. Although many who are not familiar with Mr Foladvand might not take this seriously I believe that what API has achieved in the past two years is enough evidence of their sincerity. Amongst the four most significant "operations" were:
-The act of civil disobedience by around 70 Iranians, on a Lufthansa flight in Brussels which attracted the world's attention to the Iranian peoples' plight
-The 150 chained cars outside the European Parliament in Brussels (Belgium) protesting, in act of civil disobedience, the European Unions shameless support for the terrorist and bloodthirsty Islamic Republic occupying Iran
-The act of civil disobedience outside the International Court of Justice in the Hague (Netherlands) where around 60 cars were brought to a stop outside this court in act of civil disobedience.
-Damaging the Sivand Dam project of the Islamic Republic which if put into operation will flood an immense area of Iranian cultural heritage/sites. (The Islamic Republic has announced now that the opening of this damn will take place early next year!)
Mr Foladvand has sworn that either he will be successful in this mission or he will loose his life trying to save Iran from the hands of these Anti-Iranian savages which are occupying our motherland.
The least any Iranian can do is to raise awareness of this cause of Anjomane Padeshahi Iran - this will not hurt you. When time comes and API calls for action you will have to decide then and there whether to proceed. For now spread the word.
CLICK HERE to hear the latest message by Mr Foladvand.
13 centuries ago (1370 years) a decisive battle took place that would be named the "Battle of Qadesiyeh". Dispatched to this battle-scene, by Sasanian Shahanshah ("King of Kings") Yazdgerd III, was Commander of the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces -Rostam Farokhzad- who gathered what is said to be 60,000 troops to the fringes of the desert south of the town "Hilla", present day Iraq, to face the Arabo-Muslim Army- which was advancing from its homeland in the Saudi Arabian deserts. By doing so he took the battle to the Arabs "own ground" - the desert environment; the decision by Shahanshah Yazdgerd III to send Commander Farokhzad to meet the Arabo-Muslim army at this location has been criticized by many. Despite reservations on the succes of such a campaign Commader Farokhzad obeyed his Commander-in-Chief's orders and was hell-bent on crushing the growing threat, to the Empire, of the vicious Bedouin tribes who where now savagely spreading their new-found faith -Islam- by the tip of their swords.
The Arabo-Muslim Army under the command of Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas (from the Arab Quraish tribe), was dispatched by the Caliph Omar, and consisted of some 36,000 men. The Iranian troops on the Command of the heroic Commander Farokhzad fough valiantly against this force, despite the harsh circumstance of the desert environment. The campaign was heading towards victory until the third day of war when the Arabs gained the upper hand. This was a historical defeat which would mark the end of the glory of the Persian Empire and the beginning of 291 years (from 637 A.D. to 928 A.D.) of Arabo-Muslim occupation. This savage occupation led to tens of thousands of Iranian being butchered by the Arabo-Muslim occupying forces, the destruction of centres of learning and enlightment - amongst the primary targets of the Arabo-Muslim army were LIBRARIES. The Arabo-Muslim Army burnt all the libraries existent in the Persian Empire to the ground justifying it by saying "everything which is needed to know is in the Koran" or "Taazinameh" as referred to by Iranians.
Iranians were given 3 choices by the occupational Arabo-Muslim force:
-Convert to Islam -Continue practicing your religion but pay the price for it (heavy-tax and unbearable discrimination) -Death
Many converted to save their lives; some could not stand the disgrace of following the ways of the Arab bedouins and their backward religion so they either paid the tax or fled the motherland; and many more died swearing never to recant their culture or beliefs.
The ensuing 300 years of Arabo-Muslim rule and extensive propaganda and drive for Islamization proved fatal for the Iranian Nation. Although Iranians were able to repel the Arabo-Muslim force from their homeland after 300 years the Islamization of society had taken such roots and that it stayed. Arabs got kicked out but Islam remained - Iranians' minds were to be enslaved by this backward ideology up until the coming of Reza Shah the Great and the establishing of the Pahlavi Dynasty (1925-1979).
This means that although the Arab occupation ended after 300 years - their detrimental ideology was able to pollute Iranian minds -unrestricted- for almost 1300 years. The coming of Reza Shah the Great ended the dominance of Islam and the Muslim clergy and restricted their powers severely. The muslim clergy had been in control of Iranian society ever since the day the Arab occupation ended. They were the ones with the real decision-making powers not the "Shah's" who were to follow. With the coming of Reza Shah they suffered a well-overdue defeat. Reza Shah was a patriot who had nothing but the betterment of his people and country. He set out to modernize Iran - and is today referred to as the father of modern Iran. His son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Shahanshah Aryamehr, continued in his father's footsteps, although with less of an iron-fist like his father. Iran was on its way towards what the late Shah referred to as the "Golden Civilization". After almost 1400 years Iran was on its way to have fully freed itself from the left-over Arab ideology which had polluted Iranian society for far too long. There wasn't a direct campaign against Islam during the Pahlavi's as it would have been far too early for such a thing to take place but through his actions one could see the Reza Shah the Great was a not fan of this left-over Arab religion. Mohammad Reza Shah was less tough-handed than his father towards the Muslim clergy; but neither he held the Muslim clergy in great esteem. Despite this Iranians were no-where near close to be called or referred to as TRUE Muslims.
Then in 1979 disaster struck. Iran under the Pahlavi Dynasty was becoming far too strong for the liking of high-positioned politicians in Europe and America. Adding to this there was the Muslim clergy's push to regain its former power and the puppets/servants of the Soviet Union, in Iran, who sought to sell their motherland to the Soviets! A coalition between these two highly unlikely allies was formed which the late Shah of Iran referred to as the "Alliance of Red & Black" (Red symbolizing communism, and Black the Muslim Clergy/Islam).
An immense propaganda campaign ensued both from the "Alliance of Red & Black" but also from politicians in Europe and America! America who had been Iran's greatest ally since the establishment of the Pahlavi Dynasty and who had contributed a lot to the development of our country suddenly, with the coming to power of Jimmy Carter (D) , turned its back and began accusing the late Shah for gross human rights abuses! (these human rights abuses will be discussed and addressed by me in due time). The highly progressive and reformable government of Iran fell on a dark day in February when the embodiment of EVIL was flown to Iran from PARIS on a French sponsored Air France flight. Asked what his feelings where upon returning to Iran this embodiment of EVIL, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, answered "nothing".
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's origins explain his anti-Iranian stance and hatred for Iranian culture - he was by NO MEANS an Iranian. That he came from the Kashmir region of India is pretty much an undisputable fact but there's also a nice twist to it in that his father was an Englishman (India at that time still being a colony of "Her Majesty's Government"!) turned radical muslim!
So why, you might wonder, have I written all this? Well I felt that my readers needed to have the background before they watch this clip. This clip of a brainwashed Iranian boy. A clip of a brainwashed Iranian boy praising his ancestor's killers (the bedouin Arabs of that time) and mourning these killers' deaths! With the establishment of what I refer to as the 2nd Arabo-Muslim Occupation of Iran (1979-Present) a new Islamization campaing was launched by the Mullah's and their supporters so that the new generation of Iran would become brainwashed "soldiers of their cause". In fact a "cultural revolution" was launched by the mullah's a few years after their take-over of Iran in which IRANIAN CULTURE was attacked and described as PAGAN! There was a campaing to DEMOLISH historical sites such as Persepolis - the capital of Ancient Persia and the Iranian New Year (No-Rooz) was described as pagan and efforts where made to BAN it!
A quick note i'd like to make here is that Islamization has been an issue confronting Iranians ever since the Arabo-Muslim occupation, but in a sense the Iranian Nation was lucky NOT to fall prey for ARABIZATION, which the nations of Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria (for example) did. These nation's were not only Islamized but also Arabized. Their respective cultures were replaced with Arab culture. Their religious beliefs were replaced with the Arab - Islamic - faith/ideology/culture. Their language became the Arabic language. Their people became "Arabs"...
This clip (see below) is one of the successes of this Islamization campaign that the Islamic Republic aggressively pursues. However I cannot refer to an overall success of this campaign - in fact it backfired in many ways; especially amongst the middle class (established during the Pahlavi Dynasty) and the more well-to-do, but with 60% or so living in poverty inside Iran TODAY their minds are still constricted by much of what the clergy over a span of 1400 years has brainwashed them with.
Nevertheless, the origins of Islam and Islamic scripture (koran/taazinameh) have been put into the spotlight over these past 27 years that the Islamic Republic has been occupying Iran and MANY IRANIANS have come to see the savagery, backwardedness and especially ANTI-IRANIAN ideology which Islam embodies. There were only a few people during the Pahlavi Era who had started to question the validity of Islam, today though, in the "Information Age" that we are lucky to live in much more people have access to information regarding the origins of Islam and can easily make a judgement on this ideology. The majority of Iranians inside Iran, I can say 90+% of the population with confidence, are only "Muslim" by name and ABSOLUTELY NOT in practice. The mullah's know this figure and are hell-bent on their Islamization campaign and propaganda war.
With the overwhelming majority of the Iranian Nation in opposition to this barbaric Islamic regime it is our duty as free men and women, regardless of where we might come from, to defend the oppressed Iranian people and give them support in their fight against the Mullah's dictatorship and 1400 years of ideological tyranny.
To finish this post i'd like to post this very upsetting videoclip. A videoclip that is an insult to everything an Iranian would hold dear. A videoclip of a child which Iranians FAILED.
Remember how Mullah Khatami began claiming that there should be a "dialogue amongst civilizations" when he got appointed to the Islamic Republic's presidency? An idea which Her Imperial Highness the Empress of Iran had put into practice in the 1970's - BEFORE the 2nd Arabo-Muslim occupation of Iran (1979-Present)!
Also do you remember how the shameless European governments and mostly Democrats in the United States got/are hung up on this so-called "dialogue amongst civilizations"? In this case "dialogue amongst civilizations" should read "appeasement of oppressive and terrorist regime's".
Well here is that "dialogue of civilizations" in Iran itself. Here is that government, which these European and American government officials would like to conduct a "dialogue amongst civilizations" with - fully engaged with a "dialogue of civilization" with the OCCUPIED people of Iran itself!
Arabo-Muslim culture vs Iranian culture. Oppression vs Freedom...
I just hope that ordinary Europeans can look beyond the propaganda that the Main-Stream-Media feeds them and see the TRUTH. I hope that they can see how their shameless governments are assisting and prolonging the oppressive rule of the occupational Islamic Republic.
Revolutionary songs for the Iranian Nation to rise up against their oppressors - the Islamic Republic and those who support it.
All Iranians - Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Balooch....need to rise up. The time has come and its long overdue.
It's time to rise up!It's time to free the motherland!It's time to be Iranian!It's time to raise the Kaviani Banner and the Iranian Shir-o-Khorshid flag!
1400 Years of disastrous and lethal Arabo-Muslim interference and influence in our homeland must come to an end.
To all freedom-loving and Iranian people: please copy the protest letter, modify it/personalize it if needed and send it off to the CBS News and Sky News. If you can additionally maybe even mail it and/or even contact them by phone it would be even better.
Sign the letter with your name, your homepage, your organization, your blog... or a combination.
I would really appreciate your assistance in this endeavor; it will only take AT MOST a few minutes of your time. A few minutes to show this shameless man, Siamak Zand, that we will not sit idle when mouthpieces of the Islamic Republic abuse their positions with international news stations, or maybe even worse - international news stations abusing their power in deceiving their public! We need EVERYONE to send this protest letter not one or two people.
I've gathered all the information you need to know regarding this issue in one thread on this forum:
(You'll find the updated letter in the first entry of the thread with the contact details a bit further down)
You do not need to sign-up to view it. If you want to comment and contribute to the thread however, I do believe you'll need to sign up.
If you have any further comments do not hesitate to contact me either through comments on the blog or via email. Any feedback from CBS News and Sky News will be posted on the blog when received - unless they specify otherwise.
Iran has lost yet another worthy statesman; His Excellency Fereydoun Hoveyda, UN Ambassador of Imperial Iran.
People like Hoveyda's, Bakhtiar's, Farokhzad's, Rahimi's..... are simply one of a kind; they don't make men like that anymore it seems.
Although I might not agree with all viewpoints that the late Ambassador had I am forever grateful for his service during Imperial Iran. I never had the honor to meet him in person but did have the pleasure to exchange an email with him through his website (http://www.hoveyda.org/) dedicated to his late brother PM Amir-Abbas Hoveyda.
My condolences go out to his family and friends. God bless him.
WASHINGTON - Fereydoun Hoveyda, a former Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, died of cancer Friday at his home in Clifton, Va., a family friend said. He was 82.
Hoveyda was born in Damascus, Syria, in 1924. He earned a Ph.D. in international law and economics from the Sorbonne in Paris. In 1948 he participated in the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
From 1952 to 1966 Hoveyda worked in UNESCO's mass communications department. In 1965 his brother, Amir Abbas Hoveyda, became prime minister of Iran; the next year Fereydoun Hoveyda became Iran's deputy foreign minister in charge of international organizations.
He served as Iran's ambassador to the U.N. from 1971 to 1979, the year his brother was executed after Iran's Islamic revolution. After leaving the Iranian foreign service, Hoveyda became a senior fellow at the National Committee on American Foreign Policy.
His books include "What Do the Arabs Want?" (1991), "The Broken Crescent: The Threat of Militant Islamic Fundamentalism" (2002) and "The Shah and the Ayatollah: Iranian Mythology and Islamic Revolution" (2003).
Hoveyda was also a founding contributor of "Cahiers du Cinema," the influential French film magazine. He wrote the screenplay for Roberto Rosselini's 1959 film "India."
Hoveyda is survived by his wife, Gisela, and two daughters, Mandana and Roxana.
Again Siamak Zand, the Mullah's mouthpieace in CBS News and Sky News in Tehran responded to his condemnations by ignoring them and sending yet another proof of his "nokari":
As an international journalist who is accepted by your beloved Americans and British,and who will not stoop to the the level of the rabid dogs who have nothing to do but bark all day,I am on my way home to my beloved country where I will be spending my weekends on the slopes of the Alborz mountains skieng while you retched souls have to scrap for a living in exile. Khar Khodetounit.
Siamak Zand
Yes Siamak Zand is on his way back to his "beloved country", where his "beloved countrymen" are being executed for each day that passes by because of their opposition to the terror rule of the Mullah's!
Siamak Zand is on his way back to his "beloved country" where they stone women to death!
Siamak Zand is on his way back to his "beloved country" where the Islamic Republic has executed hundreds of Iranian students who participated in anti-regime demonstrations.
Siamak Zand is on his way back to his "beloved country" where fellow journalists like Zahra Kazemi are detained for trying to report the TRUTH (unlike Siamak Zand who prefers to be the tool of the Mullah's!), imprisoned, raped, and eventually killed by OFFICIALS of the Islamic Republic's judiciary!
Siamak Zand is on his way back to his "beloved country" where clerics issue 100 lashes to a 14 year old Iranian Kurdish boy for breaking the fast which leads to this innocent life's DEATH!
Despite all this Siamak Zand is going to his "beloved country" to go skiing! This man really has no shame left in his body! I wonder how much blood-money the mullah's have paid him to become such wretched soul that he would even dare say the things he's said!
....
SIAMAK ZAND I will do everything in my power to have you removed from your position; where you act as the Islamic Republic's mouthpiece. You have given me enough reasons and energy to pursue YOUR case.
Darioush has already proven his patriotism and love for his motherland. This isn't the first patriotic/revolutionary song he's sung - the other most famous one is "Dobare Misazamat Vatan" ("Motherland I shall rebuild you"). Lets see where the other "artists" stand.
Lets see if the male artists really are MEN with some dignity and honor left in them. And for the ladies if they care for more than $$!
