PDMI protests State Department's sending lobbyist for Islamic Republic on taxpayer-funded jaunt to Saudi Arabia

The genuine pro-democracy movement of free Iranians is on to NIAC. By way of contrast, Islamic supremacist metrosexual Reza Aslan, who fools many into thinking he is
"moderate," is a Board member of the Islamic Republic-linked organization NIAC. An update on this story. "Open Letter to Secretary of State-Hillary Rodham Clinton on decision to send Trita Parsi to Saudi Arabia," from the Pro Democracy Movement of Iran (PDMI), October 26 (thanks to Amil Imani):

The Honorable Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton,

On behalf of the Iranian-American community, I would like to express our outrage and disappointment on your decision to sponsor, Trita Parsi, President of National Iranian-American Council (NIAC), a known lobbyist for the Islamic Republic of Iran and currently under investigation for alleged embezzlement of federal funds, to speak and share his expertise on US-Iranian relations and Iranian politics in Saudi Arabia.
Trita Parsi is not even a U.S. Citizen who is sent by your department to represent America's interests using tax payers' money. Mr. Parsi is disliked by the majority of Iranian-American community and general consensus is that he is a "non-registered foreign agent" representing the interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran and is shunned in Iranian-American circles. Mr. Parsi represents an anti-Semitic and anti-Israel agenda cloaked in dialogue and diplomacy.

Law enforcement experts who have reviewed some of NIAC's internal document released as a result of a lawsuit, offer evidence that the NIAC has operated as an undeclared lobby and may be guilty of violating tax laws, the Foreign Agents Registration Act and lobbying disclosure laws.

Parsi has been the leading lobbyist in America for the Islamic (non)Republic regime and, at least until last year's election, was also an apologist for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

He has been opposed to US sanctions against the Islamic Republic and by such definition is an outspoken opponent of your own foreign policy toward Iran. This is yet another example of many duplicitous and short-sighted policies of the State Department under your leadership and President Obama's administration. We urgently demand an explanation for the wisdom behind sending such a questionable character with known affiliations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, a regime which your own State Department has classified as a "state sponsor of terrorism" and a threat to America's national security.

Sincerely,

Dr. Arash Irandoost

My reply

to the sanctions: I have been mail ordering anything possible from Iran. Better "Made in Iran" than the "Made in China" carp you get here in USA.

  1. Pirouz joon is there any proof that Fred is an Israeli?
  2. Niloufar jaan have you switched to mixed-case alphabet?
  3. Moosir joon, do you like "maast"?
  4. Pirouz, did you miss your morning pill again or must I remind you every day?

thanks

So funny. Thre "real pro-democracy movement"? metrosexual Reza Aslan? Islamic supremacist? lol I suppose a moderate muslim is a dead one right? Or according to racists like Spencer, someone who endorses war and economic hardship on Irannians under the banner of human rights and democracy, like Maryam Rajavi and her ilk. 


Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

Nobody

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

has a right to speak on behalf of Iranian Americans. We have individual voices. If the writer don't like NIAC he may speak for himself. Not for me. 

In other words I agree with my good friend MM. 


Anahid Hojjati

who is the writer to write on behalf of Iranian-Americans

by Anahid Hojjati on

Now this is hilarious. Usually NIAC opponents complain about the fact that NIAC does not represent Iranian-American community. NIAC has thousands of members and for years has been working to represent Iranian-American community. So how can people have such a complaint and then they themselves claim that they represent Iranian-American communiy when in fact their standing in community is much less than NIAC's standing.


Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

What is Hillary

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

up to? First she misnames Persian Gulf. Then sends  Parsi to Saudi. Is this woman consistent or what is she up to.


Niloufar Parsi

to hilary the obliterator

by Niloufar Parsi on

As a member of the Iranian Non-American community I
would like to state that the above blog does not present any cool ideas nor does it represent anyone other than the author. In fact, this blog does not even speak. full stop. And Trita is far too principled and sensible to be working for you. So leave him alone and do not tarnish NIAC with your money.  And i have to say, so far you have done a great job of undermining obama, hilary...   thank you. god bless iran... etc.

I agree with Ari Siletz

Ari says: "As a member of the Iranian American community I
would like to state that the above blog does not present any outrage on
my behalf as claimed by the author. For that matter this blog does not
even speak on its own behalf as it provides no evidence of its claims."

 

100% agreed!

And so the old Lion puss,

by Sargord Pirouz on

And so the old Lion puss, flag wavng crazies come out, as well as one of the Israelis who use the name "Fred" here on IC.

What better ennoblement of NIAC can there be when monsters such as these line up against it? None.

If war mongering Israelis like the people at "Fred" are against a peace-seeking organization, you can bet that organization is doing some good. 


Fred

Documents

by Fred on

NIAC lobby members can deny as much as they want. They can do as many infomercials about their lobby as they want. But as long as there are indisputable documents linking their lobby to the Islamist Rapist Republic, their efforts are all for naught.

Their lobby has to explain why its Head Lobbyist and irreplaceable lifetime president was in a cozy relationship with IRR’s UN ambassador.

Their lobby has to explain why the Head lobbyist was arranging meetings for the U.S. Congressman with IRR, a typical lobbying task.

Their lobby has to explain why the lobby’s co-founder was, and might still be, with CASMII lobby, an outed IRR lobby.

Their lobby has to explain its longstanding working relationship, according to the discovered documents, with a Rafsanjani front co, Atieh Bahar and its big shot, Namazi.

There are loads of questions backed by documents which cannot be dismissed by simple cute line.  


Maryam Hojjat

Thank you Dr. Irandoust

You see MM? In your last

by Sargord Pirouz on

You see MM? In your last blog post, you speculated that the "crazy ideas" toward NIAC would be put to rest.

Like I said on your blog: without their crazy ideas, these axe-grinding, lion-puss flag-waving exiles have nothing. Nothing!
