Shahram Homayoun Slams Former Pahlavi Era Ministers for Lack of Loyalty

Shahram Homayoun criticizes former Pahlavi Era Ministers for participating in an IRI produced documentary on the Shah’s rule whilst endorsing the revolutionary propaganda perspective>>>

We are Persians… Hello!

What upsets us most about the Shahs of Sunset is its accurate depiction of the Iranian psyche. The Shahs are real. Like many of us, they are a group of fun-loving, hard-drinking, backstabbing, money-worshiping, showoffs who spend every minute of the day reminding each other how much they know about everything. The only difference between Shahs and the rest of us is that we fake the funk and they hump the trunk. Shahs are vain and unapologetic. They do not seem to be constrained by a typical double life that the rest of us lead>>>

When they reached the basement, the interrogator lifted Bouzari up from the ground and pushed him into a tiny bathroom stall>>>

In today’s under-developed societies such as Iran, the formation of this opportunistic group as a significant layer of society takes place when a rural /agricultural/non-industrial society is heading towards consumerism, industrialization and capitalism, with its lack of a definite assortment of classes, its class confusion, its chronic unemployment, its permanent tendency to increase the workers’ misery.
