TRAVELER

This past fall, I spent three weeks traveling across the vast desert terrain of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The desert is powerful and restrained. It captivates the human imagination with the layered sand that lifts and settles in a gentle breeze of silence across the kingdom. The silence humbles you, but speaks volumes to the visitor who wills to endure the desert’s gravity>>>

Google plays such an important part of our daily lives that we’ve come to regard it as a near-spiritual entity, the company’s worker bees like so many discreet Gods, obediently watching over our enlightened era. If Google secretly suffered from a Messiah complex, could we really blame it? At the California-based multinational the strategy is think big: how do you make the world’s information readily available to the highest number of people?>>>

قدرت روز افزون بریتانیا در هند شیعیان بلند پایه را بر آن داشته بود که در صدد ایجاد روابط نزدیک با این بازیگر جدید سیاست هندوستان باشند. شکست فرمانروایان شیعی بنگال در سال 1757 و اود در سال 1764 باعث گشته بود که شیعیان دولت انگلیس را به عنوان ولی نعمت حاکمان محلی خود بشناسند و در صدد نزدیکی هر چه بیشتر با این قدرت جدید منطقه باشند>>>

به خاطر بسپار آسمان گسترده را
و بخشش را
وقتی که آبی رنگ میبازد
نفس زنان به روی مژه گان خیست
و نقطه ی یخ زده بر دیوار
یاد آور پرواز ست >>>

NEW YEAR

درست در بزنگاه های سرخوشی و شادمانی های همگانی، و در مقایسه ی با وضعیت مردمان سرزمین های خوشبخت، یاد مردمان سرزمینم ـ و البته سرزمین های دیگر دیکتاتور زده ـ می افتم که یا از جشن ها و شادمانی های طبیعی شان محرومند، و یا ناگزیرند که آن ها را «پنهانی» برگزار کنند، و یا به خصوص به گناه آزادی خواهی در زندان ها به سر می برند؛ يادی که به راستی می تواند هر جشنی را برایم تلخ کند.

SYRIA

Once again, we see the frightening collusion of the U.S. Imperial government with their war partner British colonialists, but this time not in Iraq but in Syria. Immediately upon the arrival of the UN sponsored Arab League Delegation (AL) into the Syrian capital and cities, the American media antagonists wasted not a second in discounting the AL's initial reporting, fearful that the 150+ observers in the delegation weren't going the way of their interventionist plans, and not siding with the opposition's claims>>>

We are apparently condemned to films that express reality and then we are forced to sit in the dark and watch as our reality once again tears off the barely damp scabs, to open the wound anew. A wound that doesn't even bleed anymore. It just stings. A lot. This is honestly how I felt watching "A Separation". A film that is reaping award after award as it soars across Europe on it's way to Hollywood, where the Oscar buzz is most certainly buzzing>>>

The clerical regime that misrules Iran is imploding in slow-motion while intensifying its repression at home and threatening behavior abroad. But is the international community doing all it can to support the Iranian people and hold the regime to account? It's clear that the leadership in Tehran is wracked by internal strife, with divisions deepening between Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his allies>>>

As the Obama Administration - pushed by domestic political forces - continues to ratchet up pressure on Iran in the elusive hope that the government in Tehran will cry uncle and give up its nuclear program, the Iranians will respond to escalation with escalation. If the name of the game is to harm the other side, then both countries can clearly play this game. Initially, threats of closing the Straits of Hormuz were made by mid-ranking members of the Iranian parliament>>>

ما خیال می‌کنیم موجودات باهوش و مستعدی هستیم ولی قابلیت یادگیری از دیگران عمومی‌ترین خصیصه ما شده است و لازم نیست که خودمان انگیزه و انرژی لازم برای مبتکر بودن را داشته باشیم. اصلاً این سئوال هم ممکن است مطرح شود که چراخودمان نمی‌خواهیم مبتکر باشیم؟ پاسخ آن روشن است: برای اینکه اختراع و ابتکار کار سختی است و زمان زیادی می‌گیرد>>>

Unlike most gifted musicians, Fared does not try to intimidate or impress the listener. Instead, Fared’s music has the genius of simplicity and goes direct to the heart – it speaks to all: students, housewives, engineers, poets, musicians, etc. Fared is a voice for us – us Iranians, Iranian-Americans, Americans with Persian souls, Americans with American souls, earthlings singing their uniform soulfulness. And he will help you sing your soul – perhaps by teaching you how to shake your voice like he does>>>

It is a known fact that our country Iran has a large surplus of retards. Unlike real retards, these people do not suffer from impairment of cognitive functions. In fact, these cousin-fuckin’, rosewater splashing, Sandis drinking, hygienic challenged individuals seem to get around effortlessly. The problem with these retards is not medical … it’s ethical. These retards suffer from impairment of humility for a small amount of cash and a chance to leave the village>>>

واقعه‌ای که سه شنبه در مجلس شورای اسلامی اتفاق افتاد به خودی خود مسئله مهمی نبود. یک نماینده مجلس با یک مقام دولتی به صورت لفظی و فیزیکی درگیر شدند، دومی به صورت اولی سیلی زد و به دنبال آن به دستور رییس مجلس از صحن مجلس اخراج شد. برخورد اخیر بیش از آن چه که یک کشمکش دو جانبه بین نماینده فریمان در مجلس و رئیس سازمان هدفمندی یارانه‌ها باشد نمودی از یک انشقاق و برخورد عمیق‌تر در ارکان حکومتی است>>>
