I Have a Crush on Alex Trebek

Irandokht-e azizam

You are one of the reasons I come back to the IC!  It gives me hope and cheers me up, like Marge's blogs and comments :)

Marge jan

I am not holding a crystal ball, marge!  I think we are seriously in danger of being dropped into that toy box and I worry .. 

what a decent human being does

IRANdokht,

They were NOT outing each other. They were NOT destroying each other. Did you see one reveal that the other was an agent???????

I did that. And that is precisely what the opponents of the fundamentalist regime do. These guys are engaged in rape, torture, and assassinations of our people. Undermining them is the least a decent human being can do. Forget about being pro-democracy, this is what a decent human being does.  This is what a decent human being does to torturers, rapists and murderers.

:-)

I offer you my treasure...

I have a ton of soy bean stashed away for a day like this!

Natalia, yes you can expect this and more!

That's the fun in iranian dating. I have never wandered to the Iranianpersonals link here, but do they have a question asking people "do you hate shah? iri? both? none?"

If I weren't so wrapped up in this Ministry of Information spy job I have here, I would totally set up a Monarchist dating site. Then I'd also set up a Communist Love Match site. 

What a shame that I am a carnivor.....:o)

I need the protein.

Mehrnaz jan

It's good to see you back on ic my dear!  :o)

IRANdokht

Dear Marge

If I don't see logic used in an argument, I break out in hives! 

You're right, it's pathetic to have a small space in the www to try and practice democracy within a small group of interested Iranians and all we get is insults and accusations thrown around. 

I am just grateful that the Iranians in the country are going strong and don't need to rely on us...

IRANdokht

Mehrnaz

I will do my best to keep writing. Lucky you to have gone to Iran. I hope you are right and I hope that Iran won't end up in the war games toy box.

No politics for you, Natalia

not necessarily; but in my case, for instance,  you have to be a vegetarian.

Irandokht, don't ask so many questions....

Pity people like this dear Irandokht. Pity them a lot. We are a sad people in my opinion. As funny as this is, you have to admit that when we use this fun space to fight for democracy rather than plain interaction and hobby. I wish i had so much power. I wish I was the enemy and getting rid of the eslamic republic were so easy. Let him feel important and wise.

Marge jan

No, we never got to the bottom of that £6 billion!  Neither did anyone else as far as I know! Or they did but it wasn't worth reporting ..

I am at a loss about the future and full of uncertainties.  I was in Iran recently;  one thing I am certain about is no war, no sanctions, no foreign intervention. There is a nation of 70 million there who have  courage, brains and experience  to take matters into their own hands, in their own way.  One thing they don't need - and thankfully they don't hear! - is for someone outside the country to inform them that their way out of "slavery" is through harsh economic sanctions ... 

Keep writing :) 

Natalia jaan

Natalia jaan,

Iran is at a turning point. If our people act wisely, the fundamentalist regime could be overthrown. However, if the fundamentalist regime is able to undermine the opposition, and/or divert the international pressure, then it could prolong its tyranny. The IRI has about 10% support among the people, but it has control over the 90 BILLION dollars from the sale of oil and gas every single year. Therefore, it can prolong its dictatorship.

Part of the IRI tactic is to fool leftists and use them as useful idiots. Another part of the IRI tactic is to divide the Iranian people.  If we want to have democracy in Iran, then we have to counter the IRI's tactics.  The posts by Marge, Botshekan, kharmagas serve the interests of the fundamentalist regime.  My posts are intended to undermine their efforts. 

Best wishes,

Masoud

Masoud jan

Please let this confused and naive idiot ask you a question here.

They're both IRI agents posing on this site, but one is trying to out and discredit the other?

If IRI agents are so destructive to their own agenda why are you and any other "pro-democracy force" so worried? Why not let IRI agents take care of each other?

IRANdokht

Good Heavens!

Let me get this right. If I date an Iranian, is this what waits for me? Speculations? Our lives revolving on politics.....politics....politics?

duck speaks

M: If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, acts like a duck, it could be a duck.

Duck: quack, quack, quack.

M: I rest my case.

:-)

let me make it easy for you patriots

quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack 

quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack

Mirza Choghondar,

I am not sure about FR. We should not throw these accusations easily.   If one simply throws these accusations because one disagrees with another poster, then that helps the REAL agents (who get lost in the ocean of false accusations).

We should only share our perceptions when we are observe a pattern. In the past 3 or so years, I have shared my perceptions on who are IRI agents only a few times. For example I have written in this side that anonymous7 (who now posts under kharmagas) and anonymous8 are agents of the IRI.

It is most interesting and revealing that kharmagas (formerly known as anon 7) is all of the sudden here.

I hope this is helpful.

Masoud

Is it a duck or, not?

You say:

"If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, acts like a duck, it could be a duck."

this might blow my cover but so what!

you know mr. ahmadinejad had an advertisement during the election showing him in his garden? he was going on and on about planting radishes. i love radishes. the shah hated radishes, remember that? i wonder if that's what that ad was secretly about. don't you dare say I'm over analyzing. the theme of our lives as iranians is TRUST NO ONE.

It is a duck

IRANdokht,

It is the duty of the pro-democracy forces to oppose and undermine the activities of the IRI and its agents. The IRI has spent a lot of money is its activities to fool the leftists in order to use them as useful idiots. All we can do is to issue our warning so that decent progressives are not fooled by these agents of rape, torture, assassination, and lies.

If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, acts like a duck, it could be a duck.

Masoud

that's CHIEF inspector clouseau

i am so flattered by his "analysis." charles de Gaulle would be proud.

Masoud Kazemzadeh

For some reasons I sense a bit of "Farah Rusta" in "Botshekan".

I won't be surprised, though.

inspector Clouseau! (to Marge)

Marge jAn, I don't know you enough, but very likely you are a nice person, ....., as the JM's ghAltAgh bashi is trying to analyze you!

Masoud jan

I won't get in the middle of this whole thing, especially since the people I agree with are being called the "useful idiot/naive leftist". I like your humor as seen before in the old government/cabinet assignments etc... as long as it's not insulting a group of people who have a different point of view than JM (and now the monarchists and MKO and neocons united). Unfortunately I don't find that funny at all. Natalia is right, you should spend more time with your girlfriend and less on conspiracy theories ;-) 

IRANdokht

hee heee

Marge,

Ask Botshekan for some vajebi.

:-)

Natalia jaan

Dear Natalia,

The fundamentalist regime is extremely sensitive about the opposition, and has many agents. I think by exposing their agents and their tactics, we can undermine their actions.

I hope this is helpful.

Masoud

i'm out of suicide pills!

well actually they are expired. we've been at this work for so long that the damn things are 3 months expired. it was a long summer, but we survived. 

Oh Masoud if you knew how hard this work is. 

hee

Marge,

YOUR boss is in Tehran. Or perhaps, your co-worker is right; the local handler is in New York.

:-)

you haven't exposed me Masoud. I think Bijan AM was first.

But there are no medals in patriotism. Good work inspector clouseau.
