NIAC charlatanism is not about things that I disagree with. Rather it is about this organization's attempt to hide behind causes such as human rights to promote specific lobbyist agendas. For example everyone knows who Reza Pahlavi is. I have no problem if Trita Parsi tells everyone what he really is, i.e. a lobbyist. Charlatanism begins when lobbyists start calling themselves "human rights activists" (as Parsi does) and others who disagree with them warmongers. Why in the interest of free dissemination of information doesn't Parsi attend a debate with Hassan Dai but instead decides to act like a coward and silence his voice by hauling him to the court? Dai's position is that NIAC is a lobbyist group. We all know that lobbyists cannot and do not operate in vacuum but are tied to governments. So what is all this suing fuss about? In comparison, regardless of whatever I think of someone like Hooshang Amirahmadi, I command him for being more transparent and deciding to debate Dai on VOA.

  

 

NIAC: The murky organization

“Why would Ambassador John Limbert, a former hostage imprisoned for 444 days by the government in Iran, join the advisory board of an organization that supposedly represents the interests of the very same government that imprisoned him?” This is the statement made by Trita Parsi of NIAC which means nothing. There are also some families of the Pan Am Flight 103 victims who believe in conspiracy theories. The fact that Trita Parsi uses such a shaky argument to prove NIAC’s independence shows that what we have here is murky organization.

Do Trita Parsi and NIAC use porn as a way to force-feed their pro IRI policy?

My latest response to NIAC and this time it’s not about the implants of Amina Parsi (Semlali)!

That is a good question but I don't have the answer to why they would want to shut everyone! In any case my latest posting is about an Iranian.com writer who indicates that I am upset because her fellow NIAC-cult-follower has written stuff about my poetry. I don’t know where in my responses she has got the idea from but that’s just what she has concluded. Now what I know for a fact is that last week I wrote back to the person who writes under the assumed name of Qumars Bolourchian, a full time representative of NIAC on the Iranian.com, and asked him to stop sending me porn. What happened after that? Few days later with a wave of blogs about how cute Trita Parsi is, Trita's wife is not into porn either, NIAC is not really on Rafsanjani's payroll, and in a blog entry by a NIAC member and comments made by no other than Qumars Bolourchian -the porn guy- bam-bam-ba-bam- my humanitarian/literary works become my self promotion tools?!! The only conclusion for me at this time is that Parsi and his NIAC can’t come up with anything against me similar to what they have done against others by calling them MKO, Monarchist, Pro war, neocon, Communist, bla, bla, bla. In their sue-everyone-who is not-with-us-way, they have decided on trying a different tactic on me by targeting my humanitarian and literary works. Unfortunately for them I didn't start my humanitarian works yesterday to follow the latest fashion trend! It was 22 years ago at the young age of 15 when I walked hours to teach disadvantage Pakistani and Iranian Bahai’ refugee kids. They call this self promotion? Be it! Furthermore I am not their cult leader, Trita Parsi, who has received grants/money almost from every organization and company on the face of the earth for doing exactly what?

This is unfortunate for Iranians as well as Americans that NIAC and its Trita Parsi want to be known as the voice of Iranian-Americans! They not only try to force-feed people or sue any person who as much as questions their pro IRI policy but seem to seek every opportunity to cash on Iranian people’s misery!

  

 

Nobel prize ceremony with victims' mothers

A group of Iranians that includes writers, artists, journalists, humanitarians, and political and social activists living in exile request that the Norwegian Nobel Committee for Peace Prize invite to the ceremony the mothers, or another immediate family member, of those killed in recent protests. More can be read here.

  

 

I was reading about the hostage crises and the time a group of militant Muslim students took over the American embassy in support of the Iranian Revolution. This rainy night in Washington D.C. I am recalling a name. Masoumeh Ebtekar, also known as sister Mary, who came to fame as the spokeswoman of those students. These days she is the director of Peace and Environment Center in Tehran. I like one more thing to be added to her resume, theft. She took a sum of five hundred million toumans of my heritage and sold in her own name.

What exactly is it Ms. Ebtekar that you are devoted to beside the promotion of just! Yes! We both know in the realm of the blind, you are the one eye queen!

  

 

Yes! There is a connection between human security and human rights!

Today a representative from the White House will speak in my daughter's class about leadership. Last night their homework was to write a letter to the president. The representative will put their letters with the White House mail. This is what my seven year old wrote to her president.

Dear President Barack Obama,

My name is /////. I go to ///// elementary school. I am in second grade.
There was an assignment in my class to write a letter to you about the issues and ideas I have.

One: You should help more people to get health insurance.

Two: Every child has to have healthy lunch choices at school.

Three: Every Human has rights. Please support Human Rights in Iran.

Four: Everyone should have a good security system so that no one will break in to their homes.

Sincerely,
/////

An Open Letter to Pantea Beigi


As a participant in Washington DC July 25 rallies in support of the people movement in Iran, I am saddened to express my utmost frustration with the uncivilized behavior of the event organizers in confrontation with a group of flag carrying compatriots.

I participated without carrying any banners or signs. However it is beyond my comprehension how the event organizers found this flag (which by the way has both pre-Islamic and Islamic roots and by no means is an ideological sign) so offensive as if Swastikas were being carried around. As a matter of fact, in her futile attempt to convince the police to intervene, an event associate likened the divide between the flag carrying crowd and the others to the difference between Nazi sympathizers and anti-Nazi demonstrators (her conversation with the police is captured on youtube). But who were these threatening scary banner carrying folks? A younger mom who was quietly shedding tears to the voice of Dariush as she was holding her 5-6 year old daughter. A mild mannered gentleman who was watching in disbelief the intolerance of the increasingly loud and noisy organizers. One organizer stood behind the microphone shouting to the flag carrying crowd, "have your own protest!" Have your own protest? And you call it a "unity rally"? Shame!

Such behavior and use of deeply offensive language does not help the cause of the Iranian nation, but perhaps the cause of an organization such as NIAC, which apparently cares more about its "special interests" than anything else.

  

 

Iran

It looks like that Reza Aslan and Trita Parsi were having tea together a few days ago discussing the recent movement and vending their frustration and in the process discovered it was all exiles' and their neo-con backers' fault!!! Reza and Trita: I understand your frustration but you are aiming it at the wrong target. Exiles have virtually no effect on what's going on except that they give moral support through their demonstrations abroad which by the way has been very effective in a positive sense. Stop blaming the victim instead of the perpetrator.
