Tzipi Livni, Ann Coulter, Mammad, and Nuke issue
by marhoum Kharmagas on Thu Sep 16, 2010 06:41 AM PDT"Mamad, Chief Nuclear Negotiator"
Kazemzadeh, I am not sure if I agree with you on that. You imagine they put a team of Tzipi (*) and Ann (**) with a lot of green makeup on them to negotiate with Iran. I suspect Mammad might loose his objectivity and compromise too much!
Mammad jaan, I must confess I'll do much worse under the same circumstances if I become the Chief Nuclear Negotiator, I have a strong weakness with blonds, very likely I will betray Iran, and definitely betray my wife!

Kharmagas the clown and "JM" comedy show (to Q)
by marhoum Kharmagas on Tue Sep 14, 2010 05:37 AM PDTQ says to Kazemzadeh: "But the fact remains I'm prefectly willing to tolerate your satire alongside mine."
Q, that is the Crux of it all, it appears that in this comedy show even when a clown such as this Hagheer jumps in, the satirical support crew (AbdolAIPAC, Frau Blukher and the other Todehi sister, Doctor noise, Mirza Doost Ali.....) and a bunch of others jump on him EVEN when he shouts very loudly: Hey Khalghollah/KhalgholMossadegh (*) I agree with you!
Just go over his other satire: //iranian.com/main/blog/masoud-kazemzadeh/ira...
and SEE how many times I agreed with him an thanked him!
Massoud/Mossad jaan, again I love your satire, I am a Clown buddy, just let me in, call me intelligent agent, non intelligent agent or whatever else you want, just let me in, I am a clown buddy!

when AN makes aliya, he will not only get a good house in a settlement,
but a cushy job at yad vashem holocaust memorial museum. he'll be head guide for holocaust deniers sent for turn-around reeducation tours.

attache for wine import/export
by humanbeing on Tue Sep 14, 2010 03:37 AM PDTthanks masoud for the appointment.
in the capacity of ambassador, or under cover of apparent capacity as such, i would promote import export of local wines and other produce. it is in the case of a secular government. and maybe work on co-production of a new regional fusion champagne.
all in good humour.
i'm afraid i don't have enough tact to be an ambassador of anything, but i would be delighted to be ambassador of goodwill and academic cooperation.
Q
by Masoud Kazemzadeh on Mon Sep 13, 2010 11:28 PM PDTQ,
I simply do not get your humor (or attempt at humor). I defend your RIGHT to say anything you so desire although I might disagree with the content of your assertion. I would point out why in my opinion, your assertion was wrong.
You think what you said was funny. I did not. If I do not think it was funny, why in the world I would say it?????? I did NOT touch ANYthing you wrote here. I defend your right to write any satire you want about me right here and anywhere else. If it is funny, I will state that it is funny (and laugh). If is not funny, I will state that it is not funny, and I will move on. I will not ask you to delete it.
If I did not find your joke funny, that does not make me a hypocrite. I defend your right to make as many attempts to make satire about me as you wish. If I thought it was funny, I will let you know.
I think what I wrote about you was funny. And I think what Khar wrote about you was hilarious. I laugh at what I find funny. You have the right to laugh at what YOU think is funny.
It would have been authoritarian of me if I demanded that you delete what you wrote about me. I defend your right to make any satire about me whether I find it funny or not.

Monda jaan
by Masoud Kazemzadeh on Mon Sep 13, 2010 11:27 PM PDTMonda jaan,
Wow, absolutely wonderful. I LOVED reading your suggestions.
I hope to see your roaming musicians pleasantly surprising people in the post-fundamentalist Iran. Our music, our cultural heritage – from bandari music of the south, to Gilaki music of the north, to the Azeri music of Azerbaijan, to our pop and others -- reflects the souls of our people. I would love to see our people smile again, sing again, and dance again, free from the harassments that are too common since 1979. Once in a blue moon when we see the people get the opportunity to do so, we are all so happy. A normal condition around much of the world (people singing and dancing) is a "monumental relaxation of control" in Iran under the fundamentalists.
And the graffiti suggestion is also wonderful. And the ecumenical gatherings too (and don’t forget our agnostics and atheists as well).
Dream and dream. They will become reality soon.
Best,
Masoud
Responses to Kazemzadeh: here's a satirical question
by Q on Mon Sep 13, 2010 10:27 PM PDTAre you the king of hypocrisy or just the ousted prime minster of it? ;) Purely satire!
Your suggestion is neither accurate nor funny. I would have been glad to add a suggestion by you if it was true, or at least contained an element of truth, or was remotely funny.
Interesting how you can all of a sudden detect his when it's your name on the line, isn't it? Funny you should say that about my suggestion. You're right of course, it's not "accurate," but then again satire isn't really about accuracy as technically none of your post is accurate. "Funny?" I think it's very funny, given your JM affiliation and your numerous writings about what "really" happened in 1953 and Mosaddegh's legacy.
But the real question is how is "Ministry of Truth" any less appropriate than what you had called me in your blog?
Remember that I offered to you not to delete my line but instead simply add yours (that I suggested), but you did not accept, and chose to delete my line. (which I appreciate you following through by the way.)
But the fact remains I'm prefectly willing to tolerate your satire alongside mine. But you are not, preferring to have neither if you don't like just one of the two! What does that make us?
How did you put it? Let me recall...
Democratic personality:
accept diversity; tolerance of dissident views; pluralism; accept the rights of those with whom one disagrees; accept the rights of others to criticize one’s policies;
Ah... there it is!
Masoud Kazemzadeh aziz, I appreciate the appointment!
by Monda on Mon Sep 13, 2010 09:34 PM PDTHowever, please bear in mind that as Minister of Nice, I would need to collaborate with raah o saakhtemaan (whoever that is) in building a mega mosque/ temple/ place of prayer for ALL hamvatans, ALL religions. As such, this project would require serenity (of diverse climates/ provinces), panels of architects (heading Princess) and a decent director to oversee the finances (Foaad comes to my mind)...
As the second half of my Ministry, Random Acts of Kindness, I will have musicians and artists to gather chorus groups and dancers of all ages, and all musical talents to travel around random areas, singing, drumming and dancing, Randomly (eg any day or time of the day)... As director of this project, Dirty Angel comes to my mind.
And I will appoint Graffiti artists and street artists to turn existing structures or objects into their creative art projects. I would be most honored if Omid Hast (in case Mana Neyestaani is too busy) would oversee this monumental achievement.
Here's to That day, Let's All Dream On :)
Q
by Masoud Kazemzadeh on Mon Sep 13, 2010 07:55 PM PDTQ,
I deleted one sentence regarding you in one of the responses.
I have also asked JJ and/or Foad to delete the reference to you. As soon as they delete the said phrase, I will also delete the phrase from my response. If I make ANY modifications to the blog, it would remove the whole blog from the front page and sent it to the netherlands. If JJ and Foad do not delete it in 24 hours, I will delete it myself.

by Masoud Kazemzadeh on Mon Sep 13, 2010 07:30 PM PDTQ,
Your suggestion is neither accurate nor funny. I would have been glad to add a suggestion by you if it was true, or at least contained an element of truth, or was remotely funny.
What I have done is to quote from top scholars in order to counter the propaganda of powerful rich regime that oppresses and brutalizes the Iranian people to the best of my abilities. Any time, I was in error, I immediately corrected that error.
What I have been doing is precisely what George Orwell did in his great works Animal Farm and 1984: standing up to brutal dictatorship and expose their lies. What Orwell did to Stalinism is what I have been doing to Khomeinism. This is what decent people do: stand up to dictatorship and for democracy.
Therefore, I will have your name deleted from this satire, shortly.

You're not funny. Try again!
by Q on Mon Sep 13, 2010 04:35 PM PDTKazemzadeh,
You are missing the crucial story ingredient necessary for fictionalizing anything "satire".
Since all you seem to be able to do is judgementally project onto what you perceive as rival political positions, leaving yourself and your own ideology out of it, it's clear this is not real satire. Instead you appear to be deriving great enjoyment out of what little "control" this affords you over other people (how is that for indication of "authoritarian" mindset?). Either way, it shows this is not your field. You obviously haven't mastered the art of satire, and clearly need to "try again." I mean it sincerely as a writer!
This advice you should appreciate becaues I'm secure enough to tell it to you as it really is, rather than to "laugh along" as to "fit in" like in grade school. The latter being the very typical Persian reaction, clinically so, unfortunately.
* This is satire. If any of the mentioned posters objects, please let me know and I will delete their name.
Yes, it's rather lame and inaccurate but I will make you a deal: Either remove my name, or add the entry below which would actually make the whole post somewhat funny, redeeming at least a measure of satirical quality.
I'll leave it up to you which one to choose:
Masoud Kazemzadeh, chief strategist for the Ministry of Truth*, in charge of Mossadegh legacy marketing and re-appropriations.
* //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Truth
Dr. Kazemzadeh
by Mammad on Mon Sep 13, 2010 04:03 PM PDTThank you. You are kind. I must say I am surprised by your reaction and Souri's because, in my view, my reaction should be the norm, that of anyone who truly believes in democracy and freedom of expression, and in this website everybody claims to be one such. In other words, the way I reacted is not a big deal at all (noting your kindness and Souri's), but that of those who reacted negatively is.
I agree with you regarding Dr. Zaydabadi. He is a deep thinker, a true patriot, and one of the best journalists of the post-revolution era. Just in case you have not see it, here is a profile of his and Saharkhiz's.

P.S.: While I truly appreciate you refering to me as professor, please call me Mammad, which is the name (abbreviation of my first name, as you know) by which I post comments here.
Suri, Anahid, and Professor Mammad
by Masoud Kazemzadeh on Mon Sep 13, 2010 03:08 PM PDTDear Souri,
I agree with you. Professor Mammad’s reaction to this satire was very wise. It shows that he possesses what is called a "democratic personality." If I could squeeze some time, I would post something on this. This is significant in contrast to Nilofar who possesses an authoritarian personality (actually, I would say "Stalinist personality"), and Farah who possess extreme authoritarian personality (I would say Hitler personality). I disagree with you on kharmagas. You are wrong, he is not nice. Even he himself stated that he is not nice. In the past 2 plus years, kharmagas (aka anon 7) has been harassing those who oppose the IRI. He could not be nice and do what he does.

Dear Professor Mammad,
You possess what is called a "democratic personality." Although I disagree with you on about 50% of your positions, I respect your great contributions here and elsewhere.
I did mean you in the blog. Was just teasing. And your response was great and indicative of your ability to hear satire and criticism and not go nuclear.
On a serious note, if Dr. Zeidabadi was President, ANYONE serving as the nuclear negotiator could convince UNSC and IAEA in 10 minutes to cancel all the sanctions and trust Iran. The problems is the likes of Khamenei and Ahmadinejad and whole gang ruling Iran.
