جنبش سبز مرد

با «نهایت تاسف» درگذشت بخش حافظ نظام جنبش 88 موسوم به سبز را به آگاهی هموطنان نازنین میرسانم. این بخش از جنبش که مدتها با تزریق داروهای فریبکاری و دروغپردازی، در پی حفظ نظامش بود، متاسفانه موفق نشد و رخت به «ابدیت» کشید. ما «وفات» این نوزاد عجیب الخلقه ی متعلق به قرون وسطی را [که در جوانی «ناکام» شد و به رحمت ایزدی پیوست] به بازماندگان و جاماندگان این افتضاح بزرگ تاریخی تسلیت گفته و «همدردی» خود را اعلام میداریم>>>

Master & Servant

The failed attempt to dismiss Moslehi is part of Ahmadinejad’s wider campaign to cleanse his government of senior officials imposed on him by other power circles within the Islamic Republic.

Syria has a young president. But Iran’s leadership is made up of rather old men – not as old as Mubarak or Ben Ali, of course – but it’s the same dangerous equation: young people being told what to do by old guys>>>
