Give us a break!

by AlexInFlorida on

Stop protecting IRI.

Liberals have become fraudsters trying to protect their IRI.

You only want democracy when it serves you.  No majority wants IRI.

Get rid of your imposed CIA Backed tyrants.

 

Shah was right about you crooks, unlawful and machiavellian power hungry scavengers.

You are neither Sare-Piaz nor Tahe-Piaz. In other words, you are No-One  and as such no body should heed your calls here, by far me! That much is clear!

Yet another traitor with pre-islamic avatar name

by IranMilitaryForum.net on

Rest assured, armchair generals such you and your ilks have enough trouble to move your ars to get another can of beer from the fridge, moving across the street is another painful task and the none-sense about Iran is yet another pipe dream.

However, I grant you fascist bigots one credit and that is killing defenseless women and children in the name of anything but most likely "Democracy and Freedom"! That much is given! 

You are as much Iranian as Yaboo is! This has nothing to do with IRI!

You can bet ur ars on that day where we will choose who is Iranian and who is not. Which group do you think is going to take over power in Iran after the islamist regime falls on it's ars? It's the nationalists, and we're fvcking pissed off to the point that we will commit genocide on the mullahs, their supporters and families, just watch my clueless friend, just watch. The liberal Americanized groups consists of weak people who will not be able to hold onto power, that only leaves us the nationalists and the Mujahadin left >:)

I do not select who is Iranian and who is not. I *know* that Mahmoudg and Mr. Kadivar are Iranian. There is no question of it. However you have never denied being Lebanese. Are you Iranian or are you Lebanese

Plus you never  show any interest in Iranian people. Just in Palestine and also Lebanon.

That will be the day

by IranMilitaryForum.net on

That will be the day when you and your ilks select who is Iranian and who is not regardless if IRI will be there or not!!!!! Dream on!!!!

At least Mahmoudg and Mr. Kadivar are Iranian. They have a right to their opinion. What business does a Lebanese hezbolahi have  with Iran. You should worry about your own nation. And not a the expense of Iran.

Remember your IRI buddies won't be there forever.

Iran and Saudi Arabia may get seats on the board of a new UN super-agency to promote women's rights, prompting outrage from human rights and women's activists.

Re: 4 Student Activists

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

We should thank the "revolutionaries" who overthrew the Shah. Now they want to reform this garbage. At least most people realize "che gandi zadan". The An-Tellectuals still want to reform the Islamic disaster.

Give me the Shah any day. It may not have been total freedom. But it was 1000 times better than this.  Of course that was not good enough for our An-Tellectuals who did not rest until they brought this hell to themselves and our young people.

by vildemose on

I prefer Ahmadinejad and Mojtaba to the reformists clowns such as Sadri brothers, Dabashi, Farhang, and Ahmadi backed by the leftist factions of the state department.

DK: you're absolutely right. They are vichy traitors.


Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

Dear Mahmoudg

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

I agree that Khamenei and AN will not go without a fight. The question is who will do it. You have hopes for the West to do it. Maybe they will do. I think more likely an internal fight that  wrecks the regime.

Regarding Saudi: I do not think it will happen. They are rich and connected. Bush family is deeply involved with them. Plus the Saudi population is different. Iranian population is ready for more freedom. Saudi if anything want more Islamism.


mahmoudg

Dariush, they are just grandstanding

by mahmoudg on

All of these pundits, and we have a slew of them, amir Ahmadi, Parsi, Nasr, et al, all have one agenda in mind, their own prosperity.  They are in this business first and foremost to promote their agenda.  As i am promoting mine.  So, with that out of the way, we all fight to prove we have the right solution.  I do believe that the Iranian enigma, or I should say the Islamic Cultist enigma, will not be solved by dialogue or sanctions alone.  Mohamad and Ali and eventually Omar, Osman, et. al., did not move their agendas forward by dialogue, neither will we, when dealing with the Islamic threat the world faces.  So, we need to cleanse Iran by force and their refocus our attention to Saudi Arabia.

Didn't You Columbia Folks Accuse A. Milani of being Warmonger ?

by Darius Kadivar on

Abbas Milani on Risks of a Surgical Strike and the fact that it is counterproductive:

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRtVqeQPPIY

 


Funny that the same Abbas Milani as well as Azar Nafisi who are anything but Monarchist were also  accused by COLUMBIA Experts  ( aka Dabashi and Co) as being Neo Con Warmongers:

NO VPK they want to deliver Iran to the likes of Sargord P.

by Darius Kadivar on

NO VPK they want to deliver Iran to the likes of people with a mentality like Sargord Pirouz  !

Their Reference to Reza Shah is a cover up for a grander Bargain and that is to deliver Iran to the next Power Hungry Military Demogogue and Dictator to be rather than allowing the Chances of a National Reconciliation through a Democratic Transition which could be guaranteed by a Restoration of the Legitimate Crown Prince of IRan.

 

VIDEO | Prince Reza Pahlavi: The Downfall of the Islamic Republic of Iran

 


Hence their infatigable efforts to discredit and undermine his efforts on grounds of pseudo Academic credentials and Anti War Arguments with the help of various lobbies in the US. This Clown Being ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG:

Parazit: Hooshang Amirahmadi | Iranian.com

It's Never late to become a Constitutionalist and I would even Insist an Unconditional Supporter of the Restoration of the Crown Prince on the Peacock Throne in a bid to Restore Not Only Democracy But Human Rights to the Fullest.

Anything Short of that I GUARANTEE YOU will result to the END OF AN ALREADY HIGHJACKED GREEN MOVEMENT ( by the Likes of Dabashi and Co) and an unpredicatible outcome of an Iranian dictatorship no different from Saddam Hussein or anyother Republic in the Middle East from Syria to Egypt.

Iran Deserves Better !

LESSONS IN DEMOCRACY: Shapour Bakhtiar Interview with LA TV (1987)

HISTORY FORUM: Nader Naderpour on Iran's Constitutional Revolution and European Rennaissance (1996)

Mansour Farhang at his old age simply wants to feel intellectually or should I say ANN TELECTUALLY Satisfied to see the out come of a Napoleonic like Dictator with an Islamic Cloak NOT an IRanian Cloak so as to SAFEGUARD THE REPUBLIC he SO STRONGLY ADVOCATED !

MARK MY WORD : They Prefer to See the Outcome a dictatorship to satisfy their Broken Dreams before they die while those STILL ALIVE will HAVE TO PUT UP with ANOTHER NIGHTMARE ! 

These Fellow ARE Nothing Short of TRAITORS !

PERIOD !

And I will Fight them INTELLECTUALLY TO THE LAST BREATH in my Body !

Now go ahead and intellectualize your Loyalties to such extent that all you wil have left is an Iran you will NEVER SEE in your lifetime let Alone Democratic !

I REFUSE TO INDULGE IN SUCH A COLLABORATION NO DIFFERENT TO WHAT SOME FRENCH DID BY COLLABORATING WITH THE VICHY GOVERNMENT !

A TREACHEROUS ALLIANCE Only to be Opposed by ONE BRAVE AND UNCONDITIONAL PATRIOT :

LE GRAND CHARLES: De Gaulle Greets Iran's Royals (1961)

 

I REFUSE !

DO YOU HEAR ME ?

I REFUSE ... TO BARGAIN MY SOUL WITH THE AGENDA OF THESE TRAITORS TO THE CORE OF IRANZAMIN AND WHAT OUR COUNTRY HAS STOOD FOR THE PAST 25 CENTURIES !

These guys

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

Smell the change in the air. They know people do not want the Islamic Republc. Therefore they are t rying to jockey for power. What they do not want is an Iran frree of Islam. They will do  whatever it takes to gain that.It will not work.

I am not a hard core monarchist. But they got something right: Iran needs Reza Shah. However I am not sure if  Reza Pahlavi is the right person. I hope he is and welcome him with open arms.

Darius Kadivar remove your pink glasses

by fussygorilla on

and try to see the reality of Iran. Wtih all your insults and personal attacks against these panel members shows me you are soooooo

blinded by your hate of the Iranian regime, that you cannot tolerate any statement different from what you believe in. And all this intolerance while claiming "human rights" and "freedom of expression"? Height of hypocracy.  I say, Shame on YOU.

Mansour Farhang Romantic view: Looking for an Islamic Napoleon

by Darius Kadivar on

I Listened to the Very End and it didn't change my mind on these three clowns.

As for Mansour Farhang : 

Go to 1h 32 minutes ...

What a load of Bullshit Sir ... What A Load of Republican Bullshit to satisfy your Demogogue Jomhurykhah Approach with an inappropriate French Like anology !

You'd Rather see Iran become a Military Dictatorship "à la Nasser" or "à la Saddam Hussein" with a Nuclear Bomb in a bid to a socalled Hypothetical transition towards Democracy ( in what 60 Years ? ...) than see them toppled before it becomes too late.

What a Load of ANN TELECTUAL Bullshit ... NIAC Doing a Great Job to See that IRI Will Continue to DIVIDE AND RULE !

Indeed YOU and YOUR THINK TANKS WANT TO BE the King Makers of this TURBANED DYNASTY

Shame On You ALL for Selling Your Souls to the Devil ! 

BUT LET ME TELL YOU COLLABORATORS THAT WE ARE AWAKE !

What a Load of Rubbish ...

by Darius Kadivar on

Will listen to the end as I do with all these conferences but Have listened to just 49 min and what a Waste of Time.

That Limbert who is most probably still suffering from his Stokholm Syndrom Fascination and Love for his former Hostage takers is of no surprise no more than Gary Sick's ... Sick Analysis. But Mansour Farhang ? an Iranian who claims to Support Human Rights and Amnesty International for the past 40 years or so despite having been Ambassador of the Islamic Republic and while recently organizing a Conference on Human Rights with Karimi Hakkak:

//iranian.com/main/albums/human-rights-first

Now hypocritically claims that he too is for Regime Change but then demands Obama To cut a deal with the IRI on the Nuclear Issue at the expense of Human Rights is downright hypocritical !

Shame on You Sir !

The Goal of You Clowns has been FROM DAY ONE to SAFEGUARD YOUR REPUBLIC !

Khak Too Sareh HamaToon !
