Oh thank goodness there was an Earthquake. At least some Iranians outside Iran, decided to remember Iran.
I remember when I was sent to British School in Tehran in preparation for a “proper” education, I was told by my parents, “this is the best education system in the world”.
I was one of the few “chosen” token few Iranians, to be admitted to this very exclusive school in the British Embassy in Teheran in 1962. One day I would do so much for Iran. How naive.
I then went to a seriously toffy-nosed English boarding school, and like most Iranians would come back in holidays. I would meet a lot of Iranians, who had finished their degrees in the flight back. I would ask them “so are you returning for good?” Not one would give me a straight answer. I really wanted to return.
We had a brain drain in the seventies, and the Shah was trying to move Iran superfast. He failed. I remember my own relatives grumbling about how life was so backward in Iran. Madness, when you reflect on it now.
They all said to me, “Ali, now that you went to Princeton, you will really get a good job in US”. I wanted to do serious archaeology and geology in Iran. It was embarrassing. I have never returned.
Who benefited from the mass exodus in 1979, after Air France flew that Trojan Horse into Iran, under the pretext of “democracy”? Some 50,000 MSc Iranians went to Canada in two years. They have done wonders for their economy. Canadians thanked Khomeini. Now you know who benefited.
Look at the massive immigration of Armenian-Iranians and Jewish-Iranians that went to California. Property prices rocketed in LA. Iran was bleeding badly. Khomeini had done a wonderful job for the American economies.
Yes, La Creme de la Creme of Iran, were abandoning Iran in droves. I was seen as odd wanting to go back. Khomeini was killing folks like me.
And this abandonment of Iran continues. No one cares. We have a human catastrophe of biblical proportions going on in Iran. The US does not want Iranians to build another Japan in West Asia. It is nonesense to them. They have to be productive for Uncle Sam. Let Iran rot. Ey pedar sookhteh!
Now you know why all the brains of Iran, and we have a lot of very smart Iranians, have abandoned Iran. They just don’t care. They would rather leave their poor helpless weaker compatriots, be in harms way under those IRGC monsters. So it is a surprise to see some feeling for the Iran in Iran, as opposed to the Iran in LA.
Shame on you all.
That explains why Iranians can’t be bothered to get rid of the mullahs. Enjoy your Kabab in LA. Kooft bekhori! And I won’t apologise for coarse comments. I am mad as hell and I can’t stand it anymore. Work for Americans. Iranian history will remember your irresponsible selfish attitude.
