آیا "پلی‌بوی" مجله‌ای انقلابی بود؟

هیو هافنر، نیازهای سرکوب شده جنسی مردان جامعه آمریکا را در برابر تاثیرات محافظه‌کاران مذهبی جامعه آمریکا قرار داد

این مجله توجه‌اش را معطوف به میدان دادن هرچه بیشتر به امیال جنسی دختران نجیب و وفادار کرد. پلی‌بوی تلاش گسترده‌ای کرد تا این واقعیت را در جامعه آمریکا به یک باور عمومی تبدیل کند که دختران نجیب مجرد هم، انسان‌های سکسی فعالی هستند. از دهه ۶٠ میلادی، مرام مجله پلی‌بوی کاملاً لیبرالی شده بود و نظر مساعدی نسبت به مبارزات مدنی سیاهپوستان داشت و از حقوق همجنسگرایان پشتیبانی می‌کرد>>>

Why Contain Iran?

... when its own aims will do just that?

by Vali Nasr
02-Nov-2011 (48 comments)
Iran is once again in America’s cross hairs. Even before the allegations of an Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, concerns about Iran were high, with an impending U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq possibly leading to increased Iranian influence there. U.S. opinion and decision makers are expanding their estimate of Iran’s adventurousness and calling for new containment measures. In both exercises, there is room for misjudgment>>>

مصاحبه خانم کلینتون و واکنش اپوزیسیون

by Hossein Bagher Zadeh

صرف نظر از برخورد طبیعی و تند رژیم به اظهارات خانم کلینتون، برخی از نیروهای اپوزیسیون نیز به آن واکنش نشان دادند. اپوزیسیون ایران عموما در برابر اتهام «وابستگی» به قدرت‌های خارجی حساسیت نشان می‌دهد و آن را با «استقلال» خود منافی می‌داند، و از این رو بسیاری سعی کردند نظرات خانم کلینتون را تخطئه کنند و خود را منزه‌تر از آن نشان دهند که از چنین «کمک‌هایی» استقبال کنند>>>

The Iranian Gambit

Efforts to isolate Iran will refocus Washington and Europe's attention on Beijing

by Michael Singh & Jacqueline N. Deal

The elections in Tunisia and the dramatic demise of former Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi have pushed the allegations of an Iran-sponsored plot to assassinate the Saudi envoy to Washington on U.S. soil from the headlines. But countering Iran's efforts to develop a nuclear weapon and exploit the tumult in the Arab world for its own gain is vital to securing U.S. interests in a rapidly changing Middle East, and remains an urgent priority of U.S. diplomacy around the world>>>

Guatemala's Mossadegh

And you thought bananas were just a fun to eat

After the Oil company funded US coup in Iran in 1953, and the successful overthrow of Mossadegh by the CIA, another coup was carried out in Guatemala in 1954. This time under the funding and encouragement of the American United Fruit Company, later named Chiquita, as it became clear that under freely elected President Jacobo Arbenz, land that was unused by Chiquita would be given to peasants and farmers in order to develop additional and alternative agriculture to the dominant single crop banana plantations that Chiquita had built in Guatemala for decades>>>

Iranian assassination plot allegations

31-Oct-2011 (16 comments)
Allegations of an Iranian assassination plot in Washington follows well-calculated objectives when one considers that the allegations have surfaced at a time that the United States is grappling with dire economic conditions and is in deep trouble due to the ongoing developments in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia’s fragile situation, shaky position of Israel in the region, Iran’s special status, forthcoming US elections and the US plan to withdraw its forces from Iraq and Afghanistan>>>

New excerpt from "The Good Daughter"

by Jasmin K Darznik
31-Oct-2011 (one comment)
Twenty years after she left Iran and knew she would never return, my mother sat alone in her house in California and talked the story of her life into a cassette recorder for me. The first tape arrived in springtime, a few weeks after No Rooz, the Iranian New Year. Eventually there would ten of them. The tapes always came marked up in Persian, and I couldn’t make out much more than my name when I opened the envelope and found the first one. I’d left home for graduate school on the East Coast the year before>>>

On Reza Shah the Great

As I tried to pay close attention to both the gossiping women and the head-strong men arguing about Iranian history and politics, I took a good look around and carefully analyzed the people who filled the host's home with drinks, jokes and roars of laughter. These people had always been my image of the Persian culture and heritage. Thinking further, I had an interesting thought-a question,rather: what makes the Iranian people greatly different and exception in regards to their neighbors? My earliest and most immediate thought was Reza Shah the Great>>>

این روز‌ها چشم به هر سو بگردانیم با علائمی روبه‌رو می‌شویم که با بوق و کرنا به آدم‌ها گوشزد می‌کنند که سکس و رابطه جنسی خوب است، مهم است، بشتابید و سهم خود را بگیرید. همه قرار است عاشق باشند و حسودی، خیانت، طلاق و دل‌شکستگی از اخبار روزانه جراید عمومی است. از نوجوانان تا سالمندان در این موج وسیع کامیابی، با تمام توان تلاش می‌کنند تا از قافله عقب نمانند>>>

روی پیراهن سفید بلند مارگریتا، عکس ماهی های قرمزی را کشیدم که در لا به لای جلبک های سبز شنا می کردند. نفس می کشیدند و حباب هایی روی سطح آب رودخانه درست می کردند. کمی آن ور تر سوزن بان تنهایی در سکوت مسیر قطارها را عوض می کرد. زندگی در لا به لای پیرهن مارگریتا چقدر زیباست>>>

Removing ALL the sanctions on Iran allowing everyday Iranians to choke on all the Hot Pockets (owned by an Iranian!) iPhones, iPads, and iKooft they can swallow, might just swing the decision towards standing up, from the current "besheen yeh deygheh, let's wait and see". Maybe if Iranians could get Coke Zero, they would have Zero tolerance for the bullshit they are being fed on Fridays. Maybe if Iranians had a TGI Fridays, they wouldn't put up with the SL Fridays they have to hear now. Maybe if Iran had a Hooters... I think you get my point>>>

Truth and Consequences

In 1979 educated people thought change of regime would bring fairness and equality

After the revolution of 1979, this phrase was heard from many Iranians, “In 1953 a bunch of illiterate under the supervision of Sha’ban Jafari (Bimokh) rebelled, and brought educated people to power, and in 1979 educated people rebelled and brought the most uneducated and fanatic people to power”. I was very young in 1953, and could not understand the atmosphere of rebellion. However, in 1979 I was working, and was quite aware of the situation>>>
