President Ahmadinejad double speak in the CNN interview gives me a hideous sensation of a onset of new-fangled impetus to the confrontation that is so evidently unsettling for the presentSupreme Leader. Mr Ahmadinejad on CNN is refining a restrained image to make his final assault to wrest control on the nucleus and hub of the Iranian present orthodox regime. For months there is increasing bad blood between the ruling theocracy that has been piling pressure on Ahmadinejad>>>

دوست داریم فکر کنیم کشوری با یک صدم جمعیت جهان و اقتصادی کوچک‌تر از این مقدار می‌تواند بین قدرتهای بزرگ شکاف بیندازد چون چاه نفت دارد و حق با اوست، و باقی همه باطل‌اند. نتیجهٔ رقت‌انگیز چنین اوهامی را می‌توان در داستان نیروگاه اتمی بوشهر دید که حتی از اعلام دوساعتهٔ نتیجهٔ انتخابات هم بدتر است>>>

PLOT
22-Oct-2011 (20 comments)
Since news of an alleged Iranian assassination plot in Washington rocked the international scene, public details remain scant. The Obama administration - including the president himself - has spoken with unequivocal certitude regarding the Iranian government’s intentions and involvement. But until he uses the same level of candour to publicly disclose detailed evidence, we will not know anything beyond allegations. Pundits will continue speculating with whodunnit analysis that constructs an incomplete puzzle, but engaging in hypotheticals does not paint a clearer picture>>>

Reactions to several events last week got me thinking about our perception of what is fair and balanced and what isn’t. The web was filled with comments, none of them particularly friendly, about the fact that for Hamas to return Gilad Shalit, the Israelis agreed to liberate a contingent of 1027 Palestinian prisoners. Vox populi – populi in this case myriad analysts and commentators – was raised, there were howls about the insulting imbalance in the swap. What, they said, one Israeli equals more than a thousand Palestinians? Is that what we’re hearing?>>>

‘Who is this Ayatollah Khomeini?’ I asked Madar, my paternal grandmother. I had heard his name over and over without knowing who he really was. Every night people went to the rooftops to see his face in the full moon and I really wanted to know what he was doing there. ‘He is the vicar of the hidden Imam,’ Madar explained, trying to fit her cigarette into the cigarette holder. ‘While the Hidden Imam is in occultation, the vicar is in charge of the Muslims’ faith,’ she continued, finishing her remark before lighting her cigarette. ‘He is our saviour.’>>>

با پاهای کپل و سفید، کنار هم خوابیده بودند ... یکی درشت تر و دیگری ظریف تر. در آن بعد از ظهر گرم تابستان، زانوان هر دو به بالا خم شده بود، و دامن نازکشان تا زیر شکم ها تا خورده. منظره دو جفت ساق و ران و میان پای گوشتالود، که به شورت های سفید و گلمگلی ختم میشد؛ چشم را خیره می‌‌ساخت>>>

An Iranian hacker recently broke into Evin security files and accessed their accounting data. These documents reveal names of all current and former employees of Evin prison including their contact information starting with each individual’s job title, salary, cell phone number(s) and home address. “Operation Evergreen” is the code name for this list which is currently in circulation via email. The document exposes all individuals working at Evin>>>

It looked like business as usual when Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei began a nine-day tour of the western province of Kermanshah last week. But Ayatollah Khamenei appears to be setting the stage for political changes that will further shrivel the democratic aspect of the Islamic Republic. On the road, as usual, Khamenei excoriated Iran's enemies – the United States, Israel, and all the West – and praised the martyrs of Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution and the war with Iraq in the 1980s>>>

چندین خبر از فشارهای جدیدی خبر می‌دهند که در آینده نزدیک متوجه ایران خواهد شد. اتهام مربوط به توطئه سپاه قدس برای ترور سفیر عربستان سعودی تحریم‌های بین‌المللی جدیدی علیه ایران را فراهم آورده. گزارش احمد شهید گزارشگر مخصوص سازمان ملل در باره حقوق بشر در ایران بار دیگر کارنامه سیاه و مشحون رژیم ایران را در معرض دید جهانیان قرار داده. و گفته می‌شود آژانس بین‌المللی انرژی اتمی بیش از هر گزارش پیشین بر گمانه نظامی بودن فعالیت‌های هسته‌ای ایران انگشت خواهد گذاشت.

Not to be outdone by the US vis-a-vis (Don't you just love saying vis-a-vis?) the sensational Iranian/Used Car/Mexican Cartel (now code named "Low Rider") plot to conduct nastiness on US soil, Iran today announced that it too had uncovered a US plot against Iran, one even better and more cooler and even more sensational than the one the US has. So there! And Kenef!>>>

داستان‌های محیرالعقول از خرید خانه‌ها و آپارتمان‌های تورنتو توسط هم‌ترازان آقای خاوری با آب و تاب توسط هموطنان ایرانی نقل می‌شود. مدتی پیش یکی از آشنایان که در دفتر معالات ملکی کار می‌کند، می‌گفت که خود شاهد بوده است که ظرف یک ساعت یکی دیگر از همکارانش، ١٧ فقره آپارتمان برای یک ایرانی خریده است.خدا رحم کند به سرمایه‌های با خون و جفا انباشته شده ایران کهنسال که به خارج آورده شده است!

DEMOCRACY

The Arab Spring exposed both the hypocrisy of the established religious authorities, who issued fatwas against the pro-democracy protests in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Yemen, and the bankruptcy of the radical militants' ideology. Arabs who protested in the streets across religious, age, and gender divisions were motivated by aspiration for the universal values of freedom and human rights- a consensus even the staunchest of Islamists cannot ignore>>>

On the surface the MEK offer to allow the UNHCR into the camp might look like cooperation and progress. But in the light of the MEK’s past behaviour the agencies involved in the issue of Camp Ashraf would be wise to view this latest stance with deep suspicion. In the book ‘The Life of Camp Ashraf – Mojahedin-e Khalq Victims of Many Masters’ published by Iran-Interlink in September, we warn that “the MEK loyalists will continue to resist and try to provoke violence to prevent any interference in the internal affairs of the camp>>>
