What happens when we look to Democracy for Human Rights?????????

//www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ger...

Read and learn how democracy works so you can make an honest informed opinion if you care for Human Rights.

Remember as children of Cyrus the great and persian culture we are all heirs to a unque non-islamic culture that is based on Human Rights, opitomized by the monarchy and the Shah and Shahbanou.

Thank God he protected Iran from its enemies and pursued justice against convicted traitors to our institutions and culture.

Javid Shah!

به یاد کریمپور شیرازی

کريمپور در مورد اشرف پهلوی که در توطئه های عوامل بيگانه عليه مصدق يد طولايی داشت ، در روزنامه شورش نوشت :

" مردم می گويند اشرف چه حق دارد که در تمام شئون مملکت دخالت کرده و با
مقدرات و حيثيت يک ملت کهنسال بازی کند. مردم می گويند اين پولهايی را که
اشرف بنام سازمان شاهنشاهی از مردم کور و کچل ، تراخمی و بی سواد اين مملکت
فقير و بدبخت می گيرد به چه مصرفی می رساند.

... مردم می گويند چرا خواهر شاه در امور قضائيه ، مقننه و اجرائی اين
مملکت دخالت نا مشروع می کند. چرا خواهر شاه دادستان تهران را احضار کرده و
نسبت به توقيف ملک افضلی جنايتکار و آدم کش اعتراض کرده و دستور تعويض
بازپرس را می دهد.

Mr. Fozolie

The Shah

was not a traitor or a crook. Far from it he was a patriot and very honest. A bit arrogant but well no one is perfect. Was there corruption: yes of course just as there is anywhere. That was not unique to Iran.

The so called corruption in Iran pales against that right now in the USA. People taking money for votes in Senate and Congress. Big Pharma and Insurance writing bills to guarantee them tax payer money. Compared to US  Shah was a lot more honest. Why did he need to be "corrupt" anyway? He had all the wealth he needed. So did the nation! In fact when he left Iran there was 8-9 billion Iranian assets in the USA. Thanks to the Marxist hostage takers it got "frozen" never to be seen!

Overthrowing a govt, kind of works against you if you lose.

I wasn't alive to tell you about Karimpour Shirazi, before my time.  I could not find any articles about him, except by political groups, about how he really met his end.  Burned alive infront of the Royal Court just sounds like propaganda to me.

Though based on what I read he absolutely was not one of the people that was entitled to protection. Infact he was one of those that committed treason and was senteced to death after the Shah came back to power. 

He believed the Shah was a traitor, crook etc etc and failed in his aims at removing the monarchy.

Based on what the Shah accomplished for Iran from 1965 to 1979, it's impossible for an honest/fair person to hold the view he was a crook/traitor. 

In the case of communism, it was outlawed in Iran and Iran was in a cold war with the USSR, so obviously anyone that prescribed to that philosophy and tried to overthrow the government in order to murder all wealthy people due to their wealth was taken to court and in most cases killed.  That was pretty much the case in democracies too at the same time.

I think having people that are committing treason against a government executed is the status quo in any country today, no matter what ideal they say they are standing for.  That was basically what happened to the Mossadegh followers, they were most certainly found guilty of treason, especially after what they said about the Shah whle he was in exile.

If say I want America to be more democratic and work to overthrow the govt by force, that would be treason and require an automatic death penalty, if I failed.  Make sense???

Javid Shah!!!

Was Krimpour Shirazi also a citizen of Iran, to be protected

He was burned to death alive, because of his opposition to shah. Some kind of phocking protection he got. Death to shah. Marg bar shah.

Delusions exist for sure, just not by monarchists.

Why is it so hard for the firmly anchored in their delusional past monarchists to recall that shah ruled by the bayonet.

You know how WARPED that sounds in light of the reality that unlike, china which used its military in tiannemen square, the shah & monarchy left Iran with out the military being ordered to use the peoples weapons on themselves, even though it was clear the people were choosng the dictatorial, despotic, tyrannical fascists now running Iran, in place of the Shah. 

Ruling by bayonet isn't exactly the most honest comment I've come across.

Protecting its citizens' basic rights and administering a fair court system and bureaucracy with independent universities, would be accurate no?  Maybe a mention of the over 50,000 students that had their entire university education and living paid for to get a degree from a US institution and another 40,000 from European Universities... or hold on... how about the $100 a month given to students, which was alot back then, studying in Iran towards living expenses...  Is that your definition of bayonet?

I think you might have been a little too busy paying attention to the USA and UK agenda for Iran than honestly reflecting on the truth in order to answer a legitimate question about old Irans alliance with a country that does torture and also does support other governments like bahrain and IRI who also torture, when we had a Shah that hated violence and did everything he could to prevent it.

My Question was...

I wonder how many Iranians also feel that Iran having an Alliance with
the USA and UK, even during the cold war, was bad for both Iran and
Humanity, in light of how they purposely betrayed Iran in 1979 and the
last 33 years since, by doing everything in their power to keep mullahs in
place?

Yolanda,

Here's a short clip on Zorkhoneh, hope you like it. This whole Zorkhoneh culture is a bit too macho for me, but the workout they go through is pretty neat. Most of those moves are very hard, cheers

I liked the Zurkhaneh muscle men at the end of the video! It is very Persian!

The musical group Kiosk, probably  has the best  line on that matter:

The ones with no future are always stuck in the past.

Kasi keh ayandeh nadareh, hamisheh toy nostalgias. Or to that effect.

P.S. Kudos with the Rock & Roll, and OFC & MPFC...

P.S.S. Me thinks one of the major partners must be a big time  'has-been' monarchist, or maybe somebody's mother-in-law, must be a hard-core monarchist. Or they just run out of material and use it as feeder to fill up the screen, who knows, who cares. Rock on babay, rock on...

Comrade

"Pahalavis" ( even their name was stolen from some one else) are as
relevant to Iran today as Ghajar: ZERO, NONE, DONE, stick a fork, cheers

Pas Az Arz-e Salam Mashti. Clinging to the so called past glories is one way of soothing one's anxiety regarding current and future states of affairs.  Aside from nostalgia, there many other psychological reasons for identifying with the past. That partly explains the daily dose of Pahalvi news on the cover of I.C.

37 years ago when shah said, join Rastakhiz or leave Iran, did

you stay or go?

Is a single-party state your definition of autocracy, or totalitarianism? Do you know the difference. Why is it so hard for the firmly anchored in their delusional past monarchists to recall that shah ruled by the bayonet. "Pahalavis" ( even their name was stolen from some one else) are as relevant to Iran today as Ghajar: ZERO, NONE, DONE, stick a fork, cheers

33 years later. Actions speak so loudly...

I was reading these 4 paragraphs below

and it made me think...

Journalist Pepe Escobar, a Latin America correspondent for the Asia
Times said much of his time has been spent covering the Middle East and
Central Asia, where he witnessed human rights violations by the US.

He told the story of a
German citizen who was kidnapped, tortured and held as terrorists by the
UC. In fact, the individual merely shared the same name as another
person who was actually wanted.

“He was a German citizen, but he had the name of terrorist,” he said. “When
the US discovered they were mistaken, they pressured the German
government not to reveal that he had been kidnapped by the CIA and he
was tortured for five months. That says everything about human rights as practiced by the United States.”

So my thoughts after reading that were this...

With all the disingenuous accusations made about Savak and it's allegedly torturing political prisoners, which during the 1970's did not occur. 

And all the propaganda about the Shah being a dictator, by both British and Americans Officials, which was never true, may be freedom loving Iranians living in exile are also reflecting on this reality?

I wonder how many Iranians also feel that Iran having an Alliance with the USA and UK, even during the cold war, was bad for both Iran and Humanity, in light of how they purposely betrayed Iran in 1979 and the last 33 years since, by doing everything in their power to keep mullahs n place?

Royal naivetè

Only if His Majesty knew that some decades later he would be denied a refuge...........

ای بابا!

خلایق هر چه لایق!

Thank you

Beautiful videos. Timeless. It harks back to a time when the name of Iran had some value to it.
