در رابطه با اعتراض برخي از ملايان دولتي

G. Rahmanian


قابل توجه مجريان برنامه:به علت اعتراضات شديد برخي از ملايان دولتي به كيفيت اين برنامه، تصميمات جديدي در جهت "خوشمزه" نمودن ان اتخاذ شده است. در اين رابطه مجريان موظفند: ١. كارشان را با سه بسم الله شروع كنند. ٢. ده يا بيست عكس از ايت الله هاي معروف بديوار اويزان نمايند. ٣. مكرراً صلوات بفرستند. ٤. در حين برنامه اجراي نماز جماعت دو نفره فراموش نشود. ٥. استفاده از هر نوع موسيقي حرام است. ٦. اقاي كامبيزحسيني ريشش را نتراشد. استفاده از عمامه واجب است. ٧. از خنديدن خودداري نمايند. ريختن اشك زياد در طول برنامه روح بيننده هاي انرا ارامش ميبخشد.

i think you need to re-read my comments.  i visit iran often and talk to people from all walks of life.  your intolerance for people with different views is eating you up.  you think that anyone who doesn’t agree with you, their view is just ‘kashk.’  nothing in your comment changes the fact that t.p. himself told my friend a few years back that they don’t pursue human rights because they don’t specialize in it.  niac’s website is still obsessed with the imaginary military action against iran and sanctions while the talk about human rights seems to be decoration.  i still think his interview sucked the big one and his 1-minute talk seemed like an infomercial.  and those who are the biggest regime supporters on this site like userid “mehdi” who claims thousands of children have died in iran because of sanctions.  the same person who opposes any antagonistic behavior against iri uses the same bullying tactics to belittle niac critics.  there are many other userids who unabashedly use the same tactics and support iri and niac at the same time (refer to my earlier comment).  i stand by my comments.  you go ahead and insult me until you’re blue in the face.

You are right there are no door prizes for pursuing a degree as Trita Parsi did.  What is noble about his effort, is engaging academia and media to further a cause related to vatan.  Quickly writing people off as an agent of IRI or pro Islamist fascist or whatever your favorite political slur of the day inspires you, just shows that your scope of Iranians is only focused to your immediate environment which most likely has long cut ties with Iran.  If someone is ultimately seeking the same good for vatan as you, but differs on approach, that does not make him any less trustworthy.  He is calling for the very same things as every body else and nothing is particularly worrisome about his views since he is not leading people into doomsday like Karim Sanjabi did in 1979.  Sample a few vatani's opinions direct from Iran instead of this popsicle stand and you will be amazed by the multitude of ideas about the future of Iran.

Just because

They've sat you

in front of a camera

and a check that goes with it

doesn't make you any

more informed

more understanding

or more peaceful.

You act as if you are...

any Ideas?

The interview with Mr Parsi starts at 14:24 and lasts about 10 minutes.

This information needs to be given by Hazrate GhormehSabzi at the very beginning.

by hamsade ghadimi on

vanaki, i don't how your comment was responding to my earlier comments with the exception that my name was in the title of your last comment.  i heard your opinion and my opinion about t.p. is unchanged.  i don't care how many years this character has lived in iran and i'm not about to give out prizes for anyone based on their chosen field of studies. 

rahmanian, you want a can of worms.  all the userids who ridicule the opposition and human rights on this site and unabashedly support this regime from palestine lotus, ardeshir ommani's alter ego frequenting fred's blog, pino q, hazrate shotor, arabdokht, marhoom sargord, marhoom magas, .... use the same bullying tactics in belittling niac's critics.  reminds me of the 70s life cereal commercial where a bowl of cereal is offered to mikey who hates everything.  and by george, mikey liked life cereal.  these userids are a bunch of "mikey"s that hate everything except iri and niac.


Anahid Hojjati

Nader, recently I have noticed that some people

by Anahid Hojjati on

For instance on their facebook and in their articles, they praise Dariush the singer. This is just an example. But then they also have a user Id which is not their real name, then they go and with that user ID, they write much negative about Dariush. I think this is lying. What do you think?


Nader Vanaki

Is this Anahid Hojjati

by Nader Vanaki on

or Agatha Christie?
This is getting way too mysterious for me.
He handled the interview very professionally and joyfully, I enjoyed it. Should I join NIAC too?


Anahid Hojjati

Is this lying if one with their real name

by Anahid Hojjati on

Praises a person and with their fake ID says negative things about him. I consider this lying.This is so sick.

اگه یکی از سه سالگی در ایران زندگی نکرده و به زبان فارسی به این خوبی تکلم می کنه و وقتش رو صرف مسائل ایران کرده و عمرش رو وقف مطالعه ایران کرده، از دیدگاه من قابل تحسین و ارزشمنده.  بقیه اش همش کشکه.

by vildemose on

I have a question for Trita: Would you please ask Briezhinski et al why is it that they like to Islamacize the entire middle east? They don't like secular fascists to rule over the ME but they like Islamic Fascists like MB in Egypt and the IRI in Iran? Is it simply because the Islamists are anti-West? Is it because they are more racist than the republicans?? What is the dilio???

I'm glad Carter/Obama et al failed in Egypt.

Trita Has no Shame

by masoudA on

Still marketing NIAC !!!

The guy says he left Iran when he was 3 years old (he lies - I think he was born in Kwait) - he is yet to get US citizenship - and he is claiming to represent IRANIAN-AMERICANS!!!   can only happen to Iranians !!!!  looooooooool 

Hazrat Parsi claims he knows what is in the best interest of people of Iran living under IR - yet he has never lived under IR !!!   he claims he is very informed on how politics work in Washington - yet he has only lived and worked there a short while..........loool

Kambiz jaan - next time you get these bozos on your set don't let them off the hook so easy.   These are some of the worst creatures on earth.    Just until a couple of years ago, Parsi and NIAC even refused to address human right abuses in Iran..........

BTW - NIAC did not officialy have anything to do with keeping twiter running in Iran - many individuals did amongst them may have been some NIAC members........besides, if IR wanted, they could have shut down internet alltogether, as Egypt did.    The only role Parsi and NIAC have had has been to mislead the American Congress and Senate by giving them bad info.   Just a few years ago NIAC was telling the congress majority of Iranian/Americans are religious and support the Islamic Republic!!!!!!!   Parsi is not anti war in support of People, he is anti war in support of the Islamic Republic - under direct orders of George Soros and his gang.


Kashk

Leave parsi alone mola, he has his own molla's to worry about

by Kashk on

and btw, double spcaing doesn't make your point clearer. Sound judgment does.

And for the rest of you who care about content, here is Zbigniew Brzezinski – the master mola parvar and parsi’s body at Johns Hopkins (US sec. advisor to carter) 30 years ago on tape charging Afghan taleban: God is with you, go and take back your homes and mosques //www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYvO3qAlyTg And here describing how he masterminded mojahedin in Afghanistan. Big foreign policy success for US and from then on continuation of the islamification of the region and recruiting Iranian  molla parvars like parsi, amirahmadi, aslan in US to be their mouth piece for their agenda: //www.counterpunch.org/brzezinski.html

 


seannewyork

for Trita: Your labeling Iranians no longer works

by seannewyork on

Trita (I know u are reading this thread and posting),

These tactics no longer work of labeling Iranians, you sort of sound like Khamenei:

  • Calling ppl neocons because they are against you, im no neocon
  • Calling ppl MKO, I hate MKO
  • Calling ppl war mongers, I stand against war with Iran

What he/NIAC does not get is that ppl hate the regime in Iran and want pressure on them becuase they are raping their family members, killing cousins, and destroying Iran.  What you stand for Trita is what the regime stands for thats why your group has no legitimacy within Iranains.  Also, you use to sell NIAC as a non political group to get the young kids involved then became political.  Did Hashemi tell you to do this?


Mola Nasredeen

Mola Nasredeen


Did you forget already?

I repeat again

'Demonization' of anti war Personalities

does not work anymore

come up with something new

such as..

any ideas? 

What have you done for Iranian Americans?

Your whining is so boring.

No one is paying attention

to your name calling and demonizing anymore.

Reza Pahlavi, Masood Rajavi or Natenyahue are not our leaders. 

Take a look at Egypt a new era has begun. 

It's over, you've lost this round.

Wisen up or you'll always

remain a loser.

PS, talking of being desparate to get members, they'll accept you as a member too.

by G. Rahmanian on

I was debating the idea whether to actually open this can of worms or not, each time I came to this thread. Now that you have mentioned it I'd like to add, With friends like these, NIAC needs no enemies. But when an organization is so desperate to recruit members, as NIAC seems to be, what can they do, but to accept anyone? What I really find strange is that NIAC seems to be against other Iranian groups.

it's curious how the biggest regime supporters on this site are also hardcore supporters of niac and t. parsi. :)

Kashk

let others be the judge regarding the kashkiness of your post

by Kashk on

On one hand I'm the warmonger, when parsi is spreading the threat of war. Then on the other hand I'm the "paranoid of its occurrence" ... can you make up your mind?

I guess I have made my point ... point being: the state of mind of a t. parsi follower. You make your leader proud.

Kashk! 


Mola Nasredeen

Trita Parsi and NIAC 'kashk neestand'

by Mola Nasredeen on

And personaly

I prefer my Ashe Reshteh

without kashk.

As for possiblity of a war

it seems like

your're more paranoid

of its occurance

while blaming Mr Parsi.

War is not a 'kashk' to flavor humans' lives

It's fire and destruction

it's hunger and death.

I don't want it, Trita Parsi doesn't want it, a whole lots of Iranians who visit this website don't want it either.

Then why 'Demonizing' him if you yourselves are not warmongers.

Harfe Ma harfe kashk neest.

 


Kashk

Which war Mola?

by Kashk on

What ahmadinejad and his thugs are doing to the Iranian youth is the real war. This has been going on since the establishment of this brutal regim. If US wanted to attack Iran, they had already done it. You think US can afford another war, do you live in this country? do you read the news? another war? who will pay for this one....

Spreading the fear for war is parsi's bread and butter, get real!


statira

I just learned

by statira on

that Mr. Parsi born in a Zoroastrian family. How cool is that?


Mola Nasredeen

Trita Parsi and NIAC are against a war between Iran and U.S.A.

by Mola Nasredeen on

This is the exact opposit of what Israel Lobby in U.S. called AIPAC wants.

And this is exactly the opposit of what Mojahedin and many monarchists want. That's why they come out with their 'Demonization' of Mr Parsi and NIAC.  

Nearly one third of the Republican Caucus in the House of Representatives has introduced a resolution giving Israel a green light to attack Iran.  H.Res.1553 declares unwavering support for Israel to “use all means necessary” to “eliminate nuclear threats” posed by Iran.

This is what NIAC wrote on their website about trying to stop a war between Iran and U.S: 

"As we begin to debate war in earnest, we cannot let history repeat itself. 

Numerous credible studies have concluded that such strikes would suck the US into the conflict that would engulf the region in war and put so much at risk:

  • The lives of innocent Americans, Iranians, and Israelis
  • The pro-democracy movement in Iran
  • U.S. National Security and the stability of Iraq and Afghanistan
  • The global economy, which relies on oil flowing through the Persian Gulf

We cannot permit this idea to gain ground.  However distant or unrealistic a war with Iran may appear right now, the advocates of war are moving forward with their agenda and quietly gaining ground."


Kashk

I was thinking of the same seannewyork ...

by Kashk on

congratulating the self declared president for Iranian Americans ... . I congratulate niac interns' stamina for top posting!

I guess this is their new strategy. As george bush used to say ... repeat it enough times and people start believing.

 


choghok

Change of view from NIAC

by choghok on

As far as I remember NIAC was really against being politically involved. They were very active with trying to improve the US, IRI relation. I also followed Tritas arguments for that but could not really accept them, his argument was like since IRI really is intrested in financial growth it could be used as leverage to make them to come to table with USA, so what happened in Iran during the time that it was possible? The only time that it could have happened was during Clinton/Khatami time.

My guess is that NIAC gave up on that path after Ahmaghinejad and his gang came to power and starting this superpower talk and making it impossible to negotiate.

Now I have seen the clips that some people here shared and hear their arguments and I feel sorry that even educated people of ours have not come out of calling people spy just because they see things differently, that is the real reason why we are where we are today. I do not agree in some points with Trita but I am happy that he does what he is doing for Iranians in USA.

 

And to thos coming with funny names like Tazi or that he is Aghazadeh or similar things, just to know how off you are. The guy is zoroastrian and his family fled Iran after revolution, just like many other Iranians. He could have finished like many other kids in trouble but grew up making something for himself and his fellow countrymen. Trita I wish I had half of your stamina to put up with all the BS.

Hoping for a democratic Iran and Iranians.


seannewyork

word is NIAC interns and employees posting

by seannewyork on

I am hearing through a contact in Washington Dc USA that he knows a lot of pro NIAC posts are from his interns and employees.

 Also, good point is Trita a Mubarak by being president for life.

His days are over, he spent day and night to push for negotiations and the green revolution crushed that.


Kashk

LOL, kambiz challanged this phony character?!

by Kashk on

Just see how much traffic he gets on Iranian.com when his face shows up .... Iranian Americans from all political pursuit have real questions regarding his politics and motivations, and why he doesn't show up among his "constituents" for some challenging questions regarding his background ...

 

 


vildemose

Kashk: Well said.

by vildemose on

Kashk: Well said.


MOOSIRvaPIAZ

Despite Kambiz'z simplistic worldview, Trita answered him well

by MOOSIRvaPIAZ on

professionally and logically devoid of emotions. If only more people could be like him. (I sometimes call people names) we should all learn to dicsuss issues with respect


Kashk

Mola, its for betterment of their pockets ...

by Kashk on

Vatan foroshha, who said he is representing me. Ask parsi how many of niac members have abbandant his organization in the past two years? His alliance is with Brzezinski and Gary sick, American ME policy makers for the islamification of the region and betterment of the oil corporations. Democracy and cheap oil don't mix.

 


Mola Nasredeen

Seanny boy!

by Mola Nasredeen on

Look!

this is what Trita Parsi and NIAC are doing for the betterment of Iranian Americans:

"The purpose of the Ambassador Program is to provide a local liaison who will serve as a bridge between their local Iranian-American community and NIAC’s national efforts based in Washington, DC, and empower local communities to form closer bonds and execute unique events.  Ambassadors will be in close contact with NIAC’s staff and help ensure a two-way dialogue is maintained between their community and the NIAC Staff in Washington, DC."

Q: What have you done beside whining?


seannewyork

Trita is the lobby for Islamic Republic

by seannewyork on

He lies through his teeth.  He was asked are you for regime change, he said yes for sure I am against velayat faghih.  So smart person would know he is saying I am for reform Hashemi style.  Meaning he is for IRI.

And most ppl who hate him are not MKO they are Iranin nationalists and hate MKO as much as they hate Trita.
