It is amazing

what some people can boldly contribute, on a stomach over-filled with left over dead Turkey!

10 old Rules in new package! (Amre be maroof va nahye az monkar)

by Shahrex on

I never cease to wonder and get surprised by the high intelligence level and the informative contents of David's ensha-nevisi.

You see, he again has shown us the solutions right in front of us, and we ignorant syupid idiots have been blind to see them. As he showed the solution in front of the Shah, to him, post-mortum, in his open letter to his son!

First we all were paganists, and then came Prophets, the shepherds leading the flock o sheeps to the right destination, namely the slaughter house.

Then came David, and showed us the enigmatic solution of the problems beyond our understanding.

From now on, you can no more say "we did not know", David has shown us the way!

Thanks David

I hope the dream & plan come true one day soon.

The formation of the organization...

by paniz (not verified) on

I just read all 4 blogs and the question that comes in mind is when will the organization (IRANUM) be formed and who will be forming it?


default

David, I won't hog the blog anymore but just to say "Yes and no"

by rosie (not verified) on

about "internal problem". Here's a concrete example:

IMHO Bush flanking Iran militarily was DISASTROUS in cousing severity of conservative backlash. Obama is malleable to public (and world) opinion. If he talks about invading Pakistan, would this be disastrous too and could Iranicans sway his opinion alone? I don't know if your plan is practicable but if even part of it is, with a six month time table would it HURT to tell your niece fin IRan or e.g. who is involved in a grassroots day care center or garden to set up a media I'net list to send out documentation with photos so that some American reading Parents of Gardening Magazine would say, Wow, I LIKE this country. Iran rocks! Is it so difficult and would it HURT?

Okay no more hogging blog.

keep the ideas and suggestions coming

by David ET on

about time:  I fixed the format to its original format,  the best I could do  with the "technical problems' that exist on iranian.com

Rosie: Welcome back. This is an Iranian problem and we must and will resolve it ourselves and can't wait for the world. News will follow us and not vice versa. 

anonymous: Religion was in prior solution 201 and somehow was dropped while reformatting.  I am glad you caught it :-)

PS David...

by About time... (not verified) on

look, David, it's me, Rosie. I am breaking my promise not to post on this sitet to honor a larger one I won't be able to participate regularly in these discussions...but...i'm not a goldfish, i'm a rosiefish. And I want you to know that...

And as a non-Iranian I want to remind you that it's equally important to flood the GLOBAL media not just for their support with strategies you devise for within Iran but also to let them know the true STORY of Iran, its MAJOR contributions to "Western" civilization, its flourishing civil society...document it, send it out there...otherwise they won't CARE as much, ESPECIALLY Americans (we don't know ANYTHING, we're Neanderthals...) and INVITE every non-Iranian who visits this website INTO the discussions...and tell them to tell their friends...what is this website, a goldfish bowl?


default

About time people started tryiing to offer concrete solutions...

by About Time... (not verified) on

but David you buried your proposal for how to make it work (strikes etc.) If you're featured no one will see in the excerpt on the blog page and it'll get lost. Bold it or SOMETHING.

So tired of people saying this website and expat community cannot impact the future of Iran. (This is explicitly stated in theMrs.'s current blog. Along with a bunch of people griping that JJ is spoiling their "fun" by trying to arrive at policies for running site equitably...

What is this website suppposed to be, Disneyworld? With all the brain power here and all the communication between expats and those at home. With the ENORMOUS enormous outreach of this website. With the incredibly high google rankings.

Alimostofi recommended general strikes a LONG time ago, at least it was SOME kind of plan, ;he was virtually ignored while everyone else just arguing...and arguing..about abstractions...

If THIS website in this electronic age cannot help to be a vehicle for concrete change in Iran...WHAT ON EARTH CAN? For people to keep thinking that way is...fatalism...nihilism..

Oh David please please keep on doing this. Following discussions on your threads please write article. And don't give up the ship!
