Not so long ago I wrote an article called Iranians must SHOUT. Basically it was about how we Iranians are greedy at best.
Today we hear that Jahanshah Javid the owner of Iranian.com has cashed in his $1.5bn.
There is a Mr Morality in all of us. Karl Marx was answered eloquently:
Robert Anton Wilson
“A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of ‘monopoly in the means of production.'”
I love dot coms. Like real estate I love buying a catchy name and waiting for it to make money. And so JJ bought iranian.com. A Communist buys the name of country. I suppose it is better than a Hebollah supporter.
To many of us the name of Iran is sacred. So what do we have starring at us right under the name of Iran? We have the slogan “nothing is sacred”. JJ and is Communists were behind this. Mr Morality? Not.
Anything remotely nationalistic or patriotic does not make it on the top page. A trip to South America does. Nuts. Iranian.com has become a photo album or a scrap book. It is untidy slow and very very inefficient.
But because it has the name Iran in it we patriots put our heart and soul in it. We have taken the idealists and universalists on non-violently. We have not used coarse words. We have shown the value of being Iranian first and then a human being.
No human being had thought of Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds, before an Iranian came around. We were the first people to accept the concept of culture and multiculturalism. That is what Cyrus the Great read and pronounced his declaration of human rights. It was an Iranian declaration. A very sacred deed.
So let us now once and for all pay our respect to the word “Iranian” and organize this website properly. It’s name represents Iran, not someone’s random doodle.
