Despite all the efforts, the exiled Iranian political-militant organization Mojahedin-e Khalqm’s (MEK) remains unpopular among ordinary Iranians, Iranian dissidents, and opposition figures in the United States.
hen the U.S. Department of State held a meeting for regime change in Iran with prominent Iranian opposition figures on July 22, the exiled Iranian political-militant organization Mojahedin-e Khalqm’s (MEK) was not invited. This can be attributed to MEK’s unpopularity, not just among ordinary Iranians but rather among Iranian dissidents and opposition figures in the United States.
While MEK seems to be popular among some U.S. politicians after the group was delisted from terrorist lists, MEK remains unpopular among Iranians and in particular with the Kurds.
The assassination of ordinary citizens, playing a key role in the 1979 Islamic Revolution, taking part in U.S. embassy hostage crisis, and providing security services for Iraq’s dictator Saddam Hussein all contributed to the group being Iran’s most hated political organization.
After ayatollahs forced MEK to stop its armed activity and boycotted its leaders from taking part in the 1981 presidential election, the group started carrying out a series of terrorist attacks. These activities finally forced the group into exile and made them the best military asset of Saddam Hussein during the second half of the Iran-Iraq war.
During the first half of Iran-Iraq war, MEK established intelligence cooperation with the Iraqi army. MEK’s cooperation with Iraq became more intense in 1986 after French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac struck a deal with Tehran over the release of French hostages in exchange for the ceasing of French’s technical support for Iraq’s nuclear program. Part of the agreement was forcing MEK to leave France, where it has had its headquarters since 1981. Saddam Hussein invited MEK to relocate their headquarters to Iraq, where MEK formed the 7,000-member National Liberation Army (NLA), which acted as a part of the Iraqi army.
Saddam agreed to provide shelter for thousands of MEK members. MEK’s leaders, including Massoud Rajavi, had taken part in the 1973 Arab Israeli war during which they gained experience of fighting in classic wars. This experience drew the attention of Saddam Hussein who then utilized MEK in operations against Iran.
Soon MEK took part in joint operations with the Iraqi army against Iran, starting with “Operation Aftab” (Sunshine) near Shoush in southeast Iran on 28 March 1988. According to MEK, the organization killed 3,500 Iranian soldiers and captured a further 417, while MEK only lost 123 of its people. The operation was successful in terms of occupation of parts of Iranian territory but had a negative effect on MEK’s reputation. All Iranian opposition groups cut their ties with the group.
“Operation Chelcheragh” was the second major operation in which Iraqis used MEK’s forces against Iran. The operation was launched on June 18, 1988, with the key goal to occupy the Iranian border city Mehran and its oil fields by using Persian language speaking forces to penetrate into Iranian territory and control Kurdish villages in the region. The Iraqi army used 3,000 of MEK’s members during the operation.
Militants of three MEK battalions disguised themselves as Iranian army soldiers, which helped them to break Iran’s defensive line by killing and capturing dozens of their soldiers. Finally, MEK managed to successfully attack Mehran and occupy it in the morning of the next day.
On 20 July 1988, Iran and Iraq both accepted the UN Security Council resolution 598, calling for an immediate ceasefire between the two countries, the repatriation of war prisoners, and the withdrawal of troops. This quickly caused a halt to Iranian military operations with the idea that Iraq would also reduce its forces from the frontlines. However, just days before the official ceasefire, Saddam planned to launch an offensive to occupy as much as possible of Iran’s territory to have the upper hand during any diplomatic negotiations after the truce.
Because using Iraqi army troops to occupy Iran’s territory would breach the resolution, Iraq used militants of MEK for “Operation Forooghe Javidan” (Eternal Light), launched on July 25, 1988. MEK took part with almost 5,000 militants, who were heavily armed by the Iraqi army.
During Operation Eternal Light, not a single Iraqi soldier accompanied MEK on the ground. Instead, Iraqi air forces provided significant help on the evening the operation was launched.
To foil any possible resistance of local Kurdish Peshmerga forces, Iraqi air forces dropped chemical bombs on four Kurdish villages in the Gilan-e Gharb county, killing hundreds of civilians and forcing the local Kurdish Peshmerga to leave the region precisely five days before the launch of Operation Eternal Light.
Five days later, the Iraqi army launched a deceptive offensive from the Khuzestan frontlines to draw the attention of Iranian armed forces away from the western fronts. Although these helped MEK to successfully occupy Eslamabad-e Gharb in western Iran on the first day of the operation, they were slowed down by the Kurdish Peshmerga a day later. Kurdish forces managed to entrap MEK armored column behind Chahar-Zabar strait, miles before they reached Kermanshah. Hours later, Iranian armed forces launched the counter-offensive “Operation Mersad” on 26 July 1988.
As a result of this operation, almost 2,000 of MEK’s militants were killed, the Eslamabad-e Gharb was recaptured by Iran, and the remaining MEK militants were pushed back into Iraq.
In the course of “Operation Iraqi Freedom” in 2003, air forces of the U.S. and the U.K. bombed military camps of MEK and forced the group to surrender and hand over their arms.
After Operation Iraqi Freedom, MEK members and its leaders were on the edge of prosecution due to the crimes against humanity. Thanks to the generous financial support of Saudi Arabia, the group managed to pay for advocacy of the U.S., U.K., Canada, and other countries to be taken off terrorist lists.
MEK spends millions to hold annual rallies in Paris during which they pay Western politicians to give speeches and rent crowds of refugees and foreign students to play the role of Iranians. MEK also pays western journalists and news agencies to publish articles in support of the group to raise its popularity in the west. Despite these efforts, the Trump administration refuses to take MEK seriously and consider them a popular opposition group.

Robert Fisk:
I bet they’re not. For I don’t think either Nato or the EU has the slightest interest in chasing the provenance of weapons in the hands of Islamist fighters in Syria or anywhere else in the Middle East – certainly not in the case of Damascus, where the west has just given up its attempt to unseat Assad.
Indeed, in a political landscape where “regime change” has become a moral, ethical objective, there can be no moral, ethical investigation of just how the merchants of death (the makers) manage to supply the purveyors of death (the killers) with their guns and mortars and artillery.

The Qor’an urged respect for women within marriage and respect for their modesty and
privacy, though it made no specific rules for women’s dress or veiling, and
some have suggested that the veil originated as an elite practice, copied from
the Christian Byzantine court—comparable perhaps with the custom among
aristocratic Englishwomen in Victorian times. The Qor’an gave women the
right to own property in their own name. It also discouraged the pre-Islamic
practice of killing unwanted girl infant. (p. 71)
The conquest (of Iran) was not, for the most part, followed by mass murder, forced
conversion, or what today we would call ethnic cleansing. Instead the new
Arab masters were content, as a matter of policy, simply to replace the ruling
elites of the territories they had conquered. The Arab troops set up armed
camps in the new lands, on the fringe of existing cities or in the form of new
settlements, often on the margin between cultivated land and uncultivated
territory that could be used to graze animals. The Arabs generally allowed
existing proprietors, peasants, and merchants to go about their business as
normal, expropriating only state land, the estates of the Zoroastrian tem-
ples, and those of members of the old elites who had fled or had died in the
fighting. (p. 74)
ordinary Iranians probably benefited from the replacement of a
strongly hierarchical aristocratic and priestly system by the more egalitarian
Islamic arrangements, with their emphasis on the duty of ordinary Muslims
to the poor. But as in other epochs, the victors wrote the history; if more
contemporary material from the peoples of the conquered lands had sur-
vived, the picture of tolerance might be more shaded. There were massacres
at Ray and Istakhr, both Mazdaean religious centers that resisted more
stubbornly than elsewhere. (p. 75)
With low inflation, Firms find it hard to cut wages in many cases—like when a recession strikes, reducing the demand for workers. But if inflation is high, then the real cost of labour can fall even if actual wages don’t (because workers become cheaper relative to the goods they are producing).

Just when you thought our Syria policy could not get any worse, last week it did. The US military twice attacked Syrian government forces from a military base it illegally occupies inside Syria. According to the Pentagon, the attacks on Syrian government-backed forces were “defensive” because the Syrian fighters were approaching a US self-declared “de-confliction” zone inside Syria. The Syrian forces were pursuing ISIS in the area, but the US attacked anyway.
The US is training yet another rebel group fighting from that base, located near the border of Iraq at al-Tanf, and it claims that Syrian government forces pose a threat to the US military presence there. But the Pentagon has forgotten one thing: it has no authority to be in Syria in the first place! Neither the US Congress nor the UN Security Council has authorized a US military presence inside Syria.
So what gives the Trump Administration the right to set up military bases on foreign soil without the permission of that government? Why are we violating the sovereignty of Syria and attacking its military as they are fighting ISIS? Why does Washington claim that its primary mission in Syria is to defeat ISIS while taking military actions that benefit ISIS?
The Pentagon issued a statement saying its presence in Syria is necessary because the Syrian government is not strong enough to defeat ISIS on its own. But the “de-escalation zones” agreed upon by the Syrians, Russians, Iranians, and Turks have led to a reduction in fighting and a possible end to the six-year war. Even if true that the Syrian military is weakened, its weakness is due to six years of US-sponsored rebels fighting to overthrow it!
What is this really all about? Why does the US military occupy this base inside Syria? It’s partly about preventing the Syrians and Iraqis from working together to fight ISIS, but I think it’s mostly about Iran. If the Syrians and Iraqis join up to fight ISIS with the help of Iranian-allied Shia militia, the US believes it will strengthen Iran’s hand in the region. President Trump has recently returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia where he swore he would not allow that to happen.
We were told that if the Syrian government was allowed to liberate Aleppo from al-Qaeda, Assad would kill thousands who were trapped there. But the opposite has happened: life is returning to normal in Aleppo. The Christian minority there celebrated Easter for the first time in several years. They are rebuilding. Can’t we finally just leave the Syrians alone?
When you get to the point where your actions are actually helping ISIS, whether intended or not, perhaps it’s time to stop. It’s past time for the US to abandon its dangerous and counterproductive Syria policy and just bring the troops home.

Nicholas Wilson:
“One of the first things that happened was: her husband’s company – Global Capital – did a deal with HSBC in Hong Kong (business deal) and then she was in Saudi Arabia , in April of this year, selling arms for BAE Systems after doing another deal for HSBC – Saudi Arabia are doing a share sale of their national oil reserves – HSBC have got the job because Teresa May went there.
Saudi Arabia are the country responsible for I.S. and they support I.S. . We supply arms to Saudi Arabia through ….
Soft on crime , soft on the causes of crime… they want to abolish the Serious Fraud Office, which is independent, so that Amber Rudd can then be in charge of prosecutions through the National Crime Agency.”

بهتر بود آقای جهانگیری انتقادات خود به دولت احمدینژاد را متوجه انحراف احتمالی در مصرف 20 میلیارد دلار بودجه سال 90 میکرد تا هم به جریانهای معاند خوراک ندهد و هم از سوی محافل کارشناسی به نظرات غیرکارشناسی متهم نشود.
جهانگیری با اشاره به درآمد نفتی حدود ۱۱۸ میلیارد دلاری دولت دهم در سال ۹۰ گفته است: این سوال مطرح می شود که پس این درآمدها در کجا هزینه شده است.
اظهارات جهانگیری با انتقادات زیادی مواجه شد. از جمله حجتالاسلام محسنیاژهای، سخنگوی قوهقضاییه در این باره گفت: این موضوعی که آقای جهانگیری در خصوص تخلفات دولت نهم و دهم صحبت کردند باید بگویم بنده نیز در برخی رسانهها این مطلب را خواندهام ولی اینکه مقایسه با دوران پهلوی صورت گرفته است،حقیقتا خلاف واقع و بی انصافی است.
این امر بی انصافی بوده و طبیعتا اگر این موضوع مطرح شده باشد ذهن مردم را خراب میکند و مردم به حرفهای دیگر اعتماد نمیکنند بنابراین باید صحبتها متقن و رسیدگیشده باشد و به حق نزدیک باشد.
وی افزود: طبق ماده 151 قانون تجارت، بازرسی قانونی یعنی سازمان حسابرسی موظف است در بازرسی مالی از نهادهای عمومی و دولتی اگر متوجه تخلف یا جرمی شد آن را به دستگاه قضایی معرفی کند و دولت را نیز در جریان بگذارد چرا که آنها برای نظارت بر این موارد بودجه میگیرند پس چطور میشود که آنها ساکتند اما آقای جهانگیری و نوبخت از مفاسد خبر میدهند و کلیگویی میکنند.
انبارلویی با بیان اینکه آقای جهانگیری و نوبخت نه سند ارائه داده و نه گفتهاند که این مفاسد کجا و چطور شکل گرفته است تصریح کرد: کشور حساب و کتاب دارد و اگر چنین تخلفی صورت گرفته باشد و بازرس مسئول آن را اظهار نکرده باشد مسئولیت قانونی دارد.
مسئول سیاسی حزب مؤتلفه در همین زمینه به برداشت غیرقانونی 4.1 میلیاردی از صندوق ارزی کشور که مورد ادعای مجلس بود و دولت نیز نهایتا آن را پذیرفت اشاره کرد و یادآور شد: حسابرس دیوان محاسبات اولین کسی بود که این تخلف را اعلام کرد و مجلس بر اساس نظر بازرس دیوان محاسبات این ادعا را مطرح کرد.
وی تأکید کرد: برای هر ریال در این کشور یک مأمور و پاسدار وجود دارد و همانگونه که حفظ امنیت ملی بر عهده سپاه و ارتش است، حفاظت از بیتالمال مسلمین نیز بر عهده نهادهای مسئول از جمله دیوان محاسبات و بازرسی کل کشور قرار دارد.
* بررسی آماری اظهارات جهانگیری
بهترین پاسخ به اظهارنظر جهانگیری درباره این که 118 میلیارد دلار درآمد نفتی سال 1390 کجا رفت، آمارهای رسمی است.
طبق گزارش های دیوان محاسبات، سازمان مدیریت، بانک مرکزی، وزارت اقتصاد و صندوق توسعه ملی، نحوه مصرف درصد بالایی از درآمد 118 میلیارد دلاری سال 1390 مشخص است.
مجموع این گزارش های رسمی نشان می دهد درآمدهای نفتی سال 1390 در چند بخش، مصرف شده است که به ترتیب به آنها اشاره می شود:
1- هزینه در بودجه سال 90
بر اساس گزارش عملکرد خزانه داری کل کشور (وزارت اقتصاد)، 44 درصد از درآمد نفتی سال 1390 صرف هزینه های بودجه ای شده است.
همانطور که از مخارج بودجه سال 1390 مشخص است، حدود 57 هزار میلیارد تومان (معادل ارزی 52 میلیارد دلار) از درآمدهای بودجه ای دولت از محل درآمد نفت تامین شده است. بنابراین معادل ریالی رقم باقی مانده از درآمد نفتی سال 1390 یعنی 72 هزار میلیارد تومان (معادل 65 میلیارد دلار) وارد بودجه نشده است که البته محل مصرف آن طبق قانون بودجه سال 1390 مشخص شده بود.
2- سهم پروژه های توسعه ای وزارت نفت
بر اساس قانون بودجه سال 1390، 14.5 درصد از کل درآمد صادرات نفتی برای اجرای پروژه های توسعه ای در اختیار وزارت نفت قرار گرفته است. بانک مرکزی موظف است در مقاطع زمانی مشخص، از درآمد نفتی حاصله و پیش از واریز سهم بودجهای دولت، 14.5 درصد سهم پروژه های توسعه ای نفت را برداشت کند و به حساب وزارت نفت واریز کند. 14.5 درصد درآمد 118 میلیارد دلاری سال 90 حدود 17 میلیارد دلار می شود که به وزارت نفت اختصاص یافته است.
3- سهم صندوق توسعه ملی
همچنین 20 درصد کل درآمد نفتی سال 1390 نیز سهم صندوق توسعه ملی بوده است که حدود 23.6 میلیارد دلار می شود. از آنجا که صندوق توسعه ملی در تیرماه سال 1390 تاسیس شد و طبق گزارش عملکرد منتشرشده، موجودی این صندوق تا پایان سال 1390، بیش از 34.8 میلیارد دلار بوده، بنابراین می توان اینطور نتیجه گرفت که دولت در آن سال، سهم مصوب صندوق توسعه ملی را به حساب آن واریز کرده بود.
ضمن آن که هیئت نظارت صندوق که از هر سه قوه هستند، هیچ گاه گزارشی درباره عدم واریز سهم صندوق توسعه ملی از درآمد نفتی سال 1390 ارائه نکرد که این مسئله نیز مؤید واریز کامل سهم صندوق در آن سال است.
4- مصارف بند 2 بودجه 90
همچنین طبق بند 2 قانون بودجه 1390، (که یک نوع متمم بودجه ای و بدعت در بودجه نویسی بود) دولت موظف شد پس از کسر 14.5 درصد سهم وزارت نفت، 20 درصد صندوق توسعه ملی و 53 میلیارد دلار سهم بودجه ای دولت، مازاد درآمد نفت را بدین ترتیب مصرف کند:
3 میلیارد دلار برای تقویت بنیه دفاعی
3 میلیارد دلار برای بخش سلامت
100 میلیون دلار برای احداث و بازسازی عتبات عالیات
250 میلیون دلار برای خرید هواپیما
یک میلیارد دلار برای مهار آبهای مرزی و مهار ریزگردها و احیاء دریاچه ها و تالاب های کشور
یک میلیارددلار بابت یارانه سود تسهیلات و جوایز صادراتی و افزایش سرمایه بانکهای دولتی
یک میلیارد دلار بابت صندوق بیمه محصولات کشاورزی
یک میلیارد دلار بابت صندوق نوآوری و شکوفایی
500 میلیون دلار بابت تضمینهای ماده 62 قانون محاسبات عمومی
62 میلیون دلار بابت ساماندهی پره های صیادی
200 میلیون دلار بابت بازپرداخت تعهدات ارزی
500 میلیون دلار برای آب رسانی به روستاها
مجموع این ارقام حدود 11.6 میلیارد دلار می شود.
4- سهم حساب ذخیره ارزی
طبق قانون بودجه سال 1390، مازاد درآمدهای نفتی بر مجموع مصارف بالا، باید به حساب ذخیره ارزی واریز می شد.
در مجموع کل مصارف مذکور (از سهم دولت و وزارت نفت تا موارد مصرفی بند 2 قانون بودجه 1390 به غیر از سهم حساب ذخیره ارزی) به طور تقریبی حدود 104 میلیارد دلار بوده است.
5- پرداخت بدهی های خارجی
بر اساس گزارش بانک مرکزی، دولت در سال 1390 بالغ بر 5.5 میلیارد دلار از بدهی های خارجی کشور را نیز تسویه کرد که این رقم لاجرم از درآمدهای ارزی کشور تامین شده است.
* محل خرج 83 درصد 118 میلیارد دلار کاملا مشخص است
به استناد گزارشهای رسمی وزارت اقتصاد، بانک مرکزی، سازمان مدیریت و صندوق توسعه ملی، در سال 1390 بخشی از از 118 میلیارد دلار درآمد نفتی حاصله، صرف این موارد شده است: مصرف 52 میلیارد دلاری در بودجه، سهم 17 میلیارد دلاری پروژههای توسعهای نفت، سهم 23.6 میلیارد دلاری صندوق توسعه ملی و بازپرداخت 5.5 میلیارد دلاری بدهی های خارجی کشور.
بنابراین، با ارفاق میتوان گفت اسحاق جهانگیری به جای آن که در نحوه مصرف کل 118 میلیارد دلار درآمد نفتی سال 90 ابراز تشکیک میکرد، بهتر بود انتقادات خود نسبت به دولت احمدینژاد را متوجه انحراف احتمالی در مصرف 20 میلیارد دلار مذکور، میکرد تا هم به جریانهای ضدانقلاب خوراک ندهد و هم از سوی محافل کارشناسی به ارائه نظرات غیرکارشناسی متهم نشود.
ضمنا لازم به یادآوری است که این گزارش با هدف تطهیر دولتهای نهم و دهم از تخلفات مکرر بودجهای و سایر تخلفات نگاشته نشد، بلکه صرفا تذکری است به دولتمردان فعلی تا در نقد دولت سابق، به افراط نیفتند.
بدون شک تخلفات محرز دولتهای نهم و دهم در قوانین بودجه که در گزارشهای تفریغ بودجه به تفصیل آمده، قابل اغماض نیست اما نمیتوان غیرمنصفانه اقدام به اغراقهای نادرست نسبت به آن تخلفات کرد و جا دارد نهادهای نظارتی رسیدگی سریع و قاطع در رابطه با نشر اکاذیب توسط مسئولان دولتی را در برنامه خود قرار دهند.
ommission Notice:
GUIDELINES
on the eligibility of Israeli entities and their activities in the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967 for grants, prizes and financial instruments funded by the EU from 2014 onwards.
Section A. GENERAL ISSUES
1. These guidelines set out the conditions under which the Commission will implement key requirements for the award of EU support to Israeli entities or to their activities in the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967. Their aim is to ensure the respect of EU positions and commitments in conformity with international law on the non-recognition by the EU of Israel’s sovereignty over the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967. These guidelines are without prejudice to other requirements established by EU legislation.
2. The territories occupied by Israel since June 1967 comprise the Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
3. The EU does not recognise Israel’s sovereignty over any of the territories referred to in point 2 and does not consider them to be part of Israel’s territory, irrespective of their legal status under domestic Israeli law. The EU has made it clear that it will not recognise any changes to pre-1967 borders, other than those agreed by the parties to the Middle East Peace Process (MEPP). The EU’s Foreign Affairs Council has underlined the importance of limiting the application of agreements with Israel to the territory of Israel as recognised by the EU.

Section E. IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS
16. Each Israeli entity referred to in points 11(a)&(b) and 14(a)&(b), which applies for an EU grant, prize or financial instrument, shall submit a declaration on honour as follows:
(a) In the case of grants and prizes, the declaration will state that the application of the Israeli entity is in accordance with the requirements under points 9(a) and 12(a) of these guidelines, while also taking into account the applicability of point 15 thereof. For grants,

management contain the eligibility conditions set out in Sections C and D.
21.

Pope Francis compares refugee camps to concentration camps – Daily Mail
ROME (CNS) — The Christian church today needs believers who witness each day to the power of God’s love, but it also needs the heroic witness of those who stand up to hatred even when it means giving up their lives, Pope Francis said.
At Rome’s Basilica of St. Bartholomew, a shrine to modern martyrs, Pope Francis presided over an evening prayer service April 22, honoring Christians killed under Nazism, communism, dictatorships and terrorism.
“These teach us that with the force of love and with meekness one can fight arrogance, violence and war, and that with patience peace is possible,” the pope said in his homily in the small basilica on Rome’s Tiber Island.
Departing from his prepared text, Pope Francis said he wanted to add to the martyrs remembered at St. Bartholomew by including “a woman — I don’t know her name — but she watches from heaven.”
The pope said he’d met the woman’s husband, a Muslim, in Lesbos, Greece, when he visited a refugee camp there in 2016. The man told the pope that one day, terrorists came to their home. They saw his wife’s crucifix and ordered her to throw it on the ground. She refused and they slit her throat.
“I don’t know if that man is still at Lesbos or if he has been able to leave that ‘concentration camp,'” the pope said, explaining that despite the good will of local communities many refugee camps are overcrowded and are little more than prisons “because it seems international agreements are more important than human rights.”
But, getting back to the story of the Muslim man who watched his wife be murdered, the pope said, “Now it’s that man, a Muslim, who carries this cross of pain.”
April 2016
Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, said during an MSNBC town hall: “I think what the president is talking about is having American troops training Muslim troops, helping to supply the military equipment they need, and I do support that effort.”
Pope Francis (file photo). On Tuesday, Pope Francis sent a message to the “United Nations Conference to Negotiate a Legally Binding Instrument to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons, Leading Towards their Total Elimination.” – RV
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis has sent a message to the “United Nations Conference to Negotiate a Legally Binding Instrument to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons, Leading Towards their Total Elimination,” the first part of which is taking place in New York from 27-31 March. The message was read by Msgr Antoine Camilleri, Under-Secretary for Relations with States, and Head of the Delegation of the Holy See to the meeting.
Below, please find the full text of Pope Francis’ Message:
To Her Excellency Elayne Whyte Gómez
President of the United Nations Conference
to Negotiate a Legally Binding Instrument
to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons,
Leading Towards their Total Elimination
I extend cordial greetings to you, Madam President, and to all the representatives of the various nations and international organizations, and of civil society participating in this Conference. I wish to encourage you to work with determination in order to promote the conditions necessary for a world without nuclear weapons.
On 25 September 2015, before the General Assembly of the United Nations, I emphasized what the Preamble and first Article of the United Nations Charter indicate as the foundations of the international juridical framework: peace, the pacific solution of disputes and the development of friendly relations between nations. An ethics and a law based on the threat of mutual destruction – and possibly the destruction of all mankind – are contradictory to the very spirit of the United Nations. We must therefore commit ourselves to a world without nuclear weapons, by fully implementing the Non-Proliferation Treaty, both in letter and spirit (cf. Address to the General Assembly of the United Nations, 25 September 2015).
But why give ourselves this demanding and forward-looking goal in the present international context characterized by an unstable climate of conflict, which is both cause and indication of the difficulties encountered in advancing and strengthening the process of nuclear disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation?
If we take into consideration the principal threats to peace and security with their many dimensions in this multipolar world of the twenty-first century as, for example, terrorism, asymmetrical conflicts, cybersecurity, environmental problems, poverty, not a few doubts arise regarding the inadequacy of nuclear deterrence as an effective response to such challenges. These concerns are even greater when we consider the catastrophic humanitarian and environmental consequences that would follow from any use of nuclear weapons, with devastating, indiscriminate and uncontainable effects, over time and space. Similar cause for concern arises when examining the waste of resources spent on nuclear issues for military purposes, which could instead be used for worthy priorities like the promotion of peace and integral human development, as well as the fight against poverty, and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
We need also to ask ourselves how sustainable is a stability based on fear, when it actually increases fear and undermines relationships of trust between peoples.
International peace and stability cannot be based on a false sense of security, on the threat of mutual destruction or total annihilation, or on simply maintaining a balance of power. Peace must be built on justice, on integral human development, on respect for fundamental human rights, on the protection of creation, on the participation of all in public life, on trust between peoples, on the support of peaceful institutions, on access to education and health, on dialogue and solidarity. From this perspective, we need to go beyond nuclear deterrence: the international community is called upon to adopt forward-looking strategies to promote the goal of peace and stability and to avoid short-sighted approaches to the problems surrounding national and international security.
In this context, the ultimate goal of the total elimination of nuclear weapons becomes both a challenge and a moral and humanitarian imperative. A concrete approach should promote a reflection on an ethics of peace and multilateral and cooperative security that goes beyond the fear and isolationism that prevail in many debates today. Achieving a world without nuclear weapons involves a long-term process, based on the awareness that “everything is connected” within the perspective of an integral ecology (cf. Laudato Si’, 117, 138). The common destiny of mankind demands the pragmatic strengthening of dialogue and the building and consolidating of mechanisms of trust and cooperation, capable of creating the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons.
Growing interdependence and globalization mean that any response to the threat of nuclear weapons should be collective and concerted, based on mutual trust. This trust can be built only through dialogue that is truly directed to the common good and not to the protection of veiled or particular interests; such dialogue, as far as possible, should include all: nuclear states, countries which do not possess nuclear weapons, the military and private sectors, religious communities, civil societies, and international organizations. And in this endeavour we must avoid those forms of mutual recrimination and polarization which hinder dialogue rather than encourage it. Humanity has the ability to work together in building up our common home; we have the freedom, intelligence and capacity to lead and direct technology, to place limits on our power, and to put all this at the service of another type of progress: one that is more human, social and integral (cf. ibid., 13, 78, 112; Message for the 22nd Meeting of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Agreement on Climate Change (COP22), 10 November 2016).
This Conference intends to negotiate a Treaty inspired by ethical and moral arguments. It is an exercise in hope and it is my wish that it may also constitute a decisive step along the road towards a world without nuclear weapons. Although this is a significantly complex and long-term goal, it is not beyond our reach.
Madam President, I sincerely wish that the efforts of this Conference may be fruitful and provide an effective contribution to advancing an ethic of peace and of multilateral and cooperative security, which humanity very much needs today. Upon all those gathered at this important meeting, and upon the citizens of the countries you represent, I invoke the blessings of the Almighty.
FRANCIS
From the Vatican, 23 March 2017
Aliyev’s critics say the September referendum – which also extended the presidential term from five to seven years — effectively guaranteed a dynastic rule.
In 2003, Aliyev succeeded his father, who had ruled Azerbaijan first as head of the Communist Party and then as a post-Soviet president for the greater part of three decades.
Aliyev has firmly allied the energy-rich Shiite Muslim nation with the West, helping secure his country’s energy and security interests and offset Russia’s influence in the strategic Caspian Sea region.

Fox News Bill O’Reilly is more radical than the president in all counts. Tries to corner him and force him to say provocative things, promise impossible things and radical actions. The president refuses as much as he can.
Our differences make our lives colorfully beautiful as long as we remain rational.

Throughout history,
oceans of blood have been shed in your name.
Allover this planet,
we have been dreaming the warmth of your stay,
but it never came.
If we trust again,
with our deplorable friends,
in the brown path of war,
it will be a shame.
Oh Peace,
our sacrificed darling,
the silent victim of our negligence,
shall we not do the same?
Amir H. Ghaseminejad

“Some people give us advice. They say they are worried.
Mind your own business! Look at your own actions, “
Not one senior Western politicians have visited since the failed military coup two weeks ago, Turkey, to express his sympathy. And then they say ‘Erdogan has become so angry,’
“These countries and leaders who do not worry about the Turkish democracy, the lives of our people and their future, while they are concerned about the fate of the coup, can not be our friends.

“The word that is being repeated often is insecurity, but the real word is war,” “Let’s recognize it. The world is in a state of war in bits and pieces,”
“The world is at war, a piecemeal war. There was the 1914 war with its methods, then the 1939-45 one and now this one.”
“It is not very organic (structured) but it is organized, it is war. This saintly priest, killed right at the moment when he was offering prayers for peace. He is one (victim), but how many Christians, how many innocent people, how many children… Let’s think about Nigeria, for example. We say, well, that is Africa! It’s war. We’re not frightened to tell the truth, the world is at war because it has lost (sight) of peace.”
“to clarify”
“Not a war of religion.
There is a war of interests.
There is a war for money.
There is a war for natural resources.
There is a war for domination of peoples.
This is the war,”
“All religions want peace. Others want war. Do you understand?”

“This is serious. Some powerful people make their living with the production of arms and sell them to one country for them to use against another country … It’s the industry of death, the greed that harms us all, the desire to have more money.”
“The economic system orbits around money and not men, women. …
“So war is waged in order to defend money.
This is why some people don’t want peace: They make more money from war, although wars make money but lose lives, health, education.”
“A war can be justified, so to speak, with many, many reasons, but when all the world is as it is today, at war — piecemeal though that war may be — a little here, a little there and everywhere, there is no justification. And God weeps. Jesus weeps.”
“Being at the service of dialogue and peace also means being truly determined to minimize and, in the long term, to end the many armed conflicts throughout our world.
Here we have to ask ourselves: Why are deadly weapons being sold to those who plan to inflict untold suffering on individuals and society?
Sadly, the answer, as we all know, is simply for money: money that is drenched in blood, often innocent blood. In the face of this shameful and culpable silence, it is our duty to confront the problem and to stop the arms trade.

روزي ز سـر سنـگ عقــابي به هـوا خاست
وز بهر طمع بـال وپر خویش بـيــاراست
|
One day an eagle rose to the sky from the top of the boulder.
Motivated by greed, he groomed his feathers.
|
|
بـر راسـتـي بـال نـظــر كـرد و چنـيـن گفـت
امــروز هــمه روي زميـن زيـر پـر مـــاسـت
|
Looking at his rightly arranged feathers, he said,
“Today the whole face of the earth is under my wings.”
|
|
بـــر اوج چـــو پــرواز كـنــــم از نـظــر تـيــز
مـي بـيـنــم اگـر ذرّه اي انـدر تـه دريـاست
|
When I fly at the highest point,
I can see a mere particle at the bottom of the sea;
because of the power of my eyesight.
|
|
گر بر سر خاشاک یکی پشه بجنبد
جنبیدن ان پشه عیان در نظر ماست
|
If a fly wriggles on shavings
Its movements would be clearly seen by my eyes.
|
|
بسیار منی کرد و ز تقدیر نترسید
بنگر که ازین چرخ جفا پیشه چه برخاست
|
Bragged and boasted a lot, and had no fear of holly ordinance.
See, what the cruel spinning wheel dealt out:
|
|
ناگه ز کمین گاه یکی سخت کمانی
تیری زقضا و قدرانداخت براوراست
|
Suddenly, as fate and decree had it,
one strong bowman struck an arrow from an ambush
straight at him.
|
|
بربال عقاب آمد آن تیرجگرسوز
وزابرمراورا بسوی خاک فروکاست
|
The liver-burning arrow landed on the eagle’s wing.
Causing his descent from the cloud to earth.
|
|
گفتا عجبست این که زچوبست و زآهن
این تیزی وتندی وپریدنش کجا خاست
|
He said, “That is a wonder, it’s made of iron and wood,
from where does it get its sharpness, swiftness, and flight?”
|
|
چون نیک نظرکردوپرخویش درآن دید
گفتا زکه نالیم که ازماست که برماست
|
When he looked carefully, he saw his own feather on it, and said:
“About whom can I complain? What came at me, is from me!”
|
|
حجت تو منی را زسر خویش بدر کن
بنگر به عقابی که منی کرد و چه ها خاست
|
The moral is: banish narcissism, or egotism, from your mind
look at the eagle who was arrogant, and what happened.
|
You want something?
To find it you must move toward where you think it might be found.
Even thought it may be right in your neighborhood, you won’t be able to find it except if you start moving.

We will go
We’ll go listen to Harlem at the corner of Manhattan
We’ll go blush tea in the souks in Amman
We’ll go swim in the river Senegal
And we will see Bombay glow under a Bengal fire
We’ll go scrape the sky below Kyoto
We’ll go feel Rio beat in the heart of Janeiro
We will raise our eyes to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel
And we’ll raise our glasses in the cafe Pushkin
Oh, how beautiful our luck is.
the thousands of colors of the human being
mixed to our differences
at the crossroads of destiny
You are the stars, we are the universe
You are a grain of sand, we the desert
You are a thousand pages and I am the pen
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You are on the horizon and we are the sea
You are the seasons and we are the earth
You are the shore and I am the foam
Oh Oh Oh Oh
poets have no flags
We’ll make holidays as much as we have heroes
We’ll know that children are the guardians of the soul
And that there are queens as much as there are women
We’ll say that meetings make the most beautiful trips
We’ll see that we deserve only that which is shared
we’ll hear/sing musics of elsewhere
And we’ll give the best we have in us
Oh, how beautiful our luck is.
the thousands of colors of the human being
mixed to our differences
at the crossroads of destiny
You are the stars, we are the universe
You are a grain of sand, we the desert
You are a thousand pages and I am the pen
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You are on the horizon and we are the sea
You are the seasons and we are the earth
You are the shore and I am the foam
Oh Oh Oh Oh

1. What other country could have invaded Iraq, hardly knowing the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite, and still managed to successfully set off a brutal sectarian civil war and ethnic cleansing campaigns between the two sects that would subsequently go regional, whose casualty counts have tipped into the hundreds of thousands, and which is now bouncing back on Iraq? What other great power would have launched its invasion with plans to garrison that country for decades and with the larger goal of subduing neighboring Iran (“Everyone wants to go to Baghdad; real men want to go to Tehran”), only to slink away eight years later leaving behind a Shiite government in Baghdad that was a firm ally of Iran? And in what other country, could leaders, viewing these events, and knowing our part in them, have been so imbued with goodness as to draw further “red lines” and contemplate sending in the missiles and bombers again, this time on Syria and possibly Iran? Who in the world would dare claim that this isn’t an unmatchable record?
2. What other country could magnanimously spend $4-6 trillion on two “good wars” in Afghanistan and Iraq against lightly armed minority insurgencies without winning or accomplishing a thing? And that’s not even counting the funds sunk into the Global War on Terror and sideshows in places like Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen, or the staggering sums that, since 9/11, have been poured directly into the national security state. How many countries, possessing “the finest fighting force in the history of the world,” could have engaged in endless armed conflicts and interventions from the 1960s on and, except in unresisting Panama and tiny Grenada, never managed to definitively win anything?
3. And talking about exceptional records, what other military could have brought an estimated 3.1 million pieces of equipment — ranging from tanks and Humvees to porta-potties, coffee makers, and computers — with it into Iraq, and then transported most of them out again (while destroying the rest or turning them over to the Iraqis)? Similarly, in an Afghanistan where the U.S. military is now drawing down its forces and has already destroyed “more than 170 million pounds worth of vehicles and other military equipment,” what other force would have decided ahead of time to shred, dismantle, or simply discard $7 billion worth of equipment (about 20% of what it had brought into the country)? The general in charge proudly calls this “the largest retrograde mission in history.” To put that in context: What other military would be capable of carrying a total consumer society right down to PXs, massage parlors, boardwalks, Internet cafes, and food courts to war? Let’s give credit where it’s due: we’re not just talking retrograde here, we’re talking exceptionally retrograde!
4. What other military could, in a bare few years in Iraq, have built a staggering 505 bases, ranging from combat outposts to ones the size of small American towns with their own electricity generators, water purifiers, fire departments, fast-food restaurants, and even miniature golf courses at a cost of unknown billions of dollars and then, only a few years later, abandoned all of them, dismantling some, turning others over to the Iraqi military or into ghost towns, and leaving yet others to be looted and stripped? And what other military, in the same time period thousands of miles away in Afghanistan, could have built more than 450 bases, sometimes even hauling in the building materials, and now be dismantling them in the same fashion? If those aren’t exceptional feats, what are?
5. In a world where it’s hard to get anyone to agree on anything, the covert campaign of drone strikes that George W. Bush launched and Barack Obama escalated in Pakistan’s tribal areas stands out. Those hundreds of strikes not only caused significant numbers of civilian casualties (including children), while helping to destabilize a sometime ally, but almost miraculously created public opinion unanimity. Opinion polls there indicate that a Ripley’s-Believe-It-or-Not-style 97% of Pakistanis consider such strikes “a bad thing.” Is there another country on the planet capable of mobilizing such loathing? Stand proud, America!
6. And what other power could have secretly and illegally kidnapped at least 136 suspected terrorists — some, in fact, innocent of any such acts or associations — off the streets of global cities as well as from the backlands of the planet? What other nation could have mustered a coalition-of-the-willing of 54 countries to lend a hand in its “rendition” operations? We’re talking about more than a quarter of the nations on Planet Earth! And that isn’t all. Oh, no, that isn’t all. Can you imagine another country capable of setting up a genuinely global network of “black sites” and borrowed prisons (with local torturers on hand), places to stash and abuse those kidnappees (and other prisoners) in locations ranging from Poland to Thailand, Romania to Afghanistan, Egypt and Uzbekistan to U.S. Navy ships on the high seas, not to speak of that jewel in the crown of offshore prisons, Guantanamo? Such illegality on such a global scale simply can’t be matched! And don’t even get me started on torture. (It’s fine for us to take pride in our exceptionalist tradition, but you don’t want to pour it on, do you?)
7. Or how about the way the State Department, to the tune of $750 million, constructed in Baghdad the largest, most expensive embassy compound on the planet — a 104-acre, Vatican-sized citadel with 27 blast-resistant buildings, an indoor pool, basketball courts, and a fire station, which was to operate as a command-and-control center for our ongoing garrisoning of the country and the region? Now, the garrisons are gone, and the embassy, its staff cut, is a global white elephant. But what an exceptional elephant! Think of it as a modern American pyramid, a tomb in which lie buried the dreams of establishing a Pax Americana in the Greater Middle East. Honestly, what other country could hope to match that sort of memorial thousands of miles from home?
8. Or what about this? Between 2002 and 2011, the U.S. poured at least $51 billion into building up a vast Afghan military. Another $11 billion was dedicated to the task in 2012, with almost $6 billion more planned for 2013. Washington has also sent in a legion of trainers tasked with turning that force into an American-style fighting outfit. At the time Washington began building it up, the Afghan army was reportedly a heavily illiterate, drug-taking, corrupt, and ineffective force that lost one-third to one-half of its personnel to casualties, non-reenlistment, and desertion in any year. In 2012, the latest date for which we have figures, the Afghan security forces were still a heavily illiterate, drug-taking, corrupt, and inefficient outfit that was losing about one-third of its personnel annually (a figure that may even be on the rise). The U.S. and its NATO allies are committed to spending $4.1 billion annually on the same project after the withdrawal of their combat forces in 2014. Tell me that isn’t exceptional!

Greenspan’s Ideological Mistake
I made a mistake in assuming the the self interest of organizations, specifically banks and others, were such that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms, and it’s been my experience, having worked both as a regulator for eighteen years and similar quantities in the private sector, especially ten years at a major international bank, that the loan officers at these institutions knew far more about the risks involved in the people to whom they lent money that I saw even our best regulators at the Fed capable of doing.
So the problem here is something which looked to be a very solid edifice, and, indeed, a critical pillar to market competition and free markets, did break down. And I think that, as I said, shocked me.
موقعی که در سال هزار و نهصد و پنجاه و چهار ما قرارداد نفتی را امضا کردیم که شاید در آن روز بیشتر از آنهم نمیتوانستیم بدست بیاوریم. یکی از مواد قرارداد آن بود که شرکتهای عامل منافع ایران را به بهترین وجه حفظ کنند. ما دلائلی داریم که این کار نشده است. در قرارداد قرارداد هزار و نهصد و پنجاه و چهار، سه دوره تمدید پنجساله در نظر گرفته شده بود. ما حتی همین قرارداد نفت را در سال هزار و نهصد و هفتاد و نه، به هیچوجه تمدید نخواهیم کرد.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM8R8Noe1w8
متن کامل سخرانی شاه در سال ۵۱:
ما در موضوع نفت با شرکتهای عامل یعنی کنسرسیوم نفتی که در ایران کار می کند . چون شاید پنج شش شرکت دیگری هست که با ما کار می کنند.ولی البته اونا در یک محدوده کوچکتری.مشغول مذاکره بودیم .مذاکرات نه قطع شده است و نه به جایی رسیده است .این است که امروز بدون ورود به جزئیات ، خطوط کلی آن را برای شما باید بگویم .موقعی که در سال ۱۹۵۴ ما قرارد داد نفتی را امضا کردیم . که شاید هم در آن روز بیشتر از آن هم نمی توانستیم به دست آوریم .یکی از موارد قرارداد این بود که شرکتهای عامل ، منافع ایران را به بهترین وجهی حفظ خواهند کرد .ما دلایلی داریم که این کار نشده است .در قرارداد ۵۴ سه دوره تمدید ۵ ساله در نظر گرفته بودند که ضمنا شرط شده بود که منافع ایران حفظ بشود .ما دلایل کافی داریم که مطابق حتی همین قرارداد ۵۴ قرارداد نفت خود را در سال ۱۹۷۹ یعنی ۶ سال دیگر ، دیگر به هیچ وجه تمدید نخواهیم کرد
حقوق حاکمیت هر مملکتی به او اجازه می دهد که بر ثروت طبیعی خود نظارت کامل داشته باشد و اصول منشور ملل متحد و قطعنامه های به خصوصی در این مورد تاکید دارد که نه فقط ثروت هر مملکتی ثروت زیر زمینی و روی زمینی هر مملکتی مال اوست ولی حتی قراردادهایی که با کمپانی های خارجی برای بهره برداری و استخراج بسته می شود نمی تواند بدون صلاح دید مملکت صاحب ثروت مورد بهره برداری قرار گیرد یعنی هیچ کمپانی نمی تواند بگوید که من می خواهم مثلا از نفت سالی اینقدر استخراج بکنم مثلا یک استخراج معقولانه ای که بگوییم -فقط به خاطر ذکر یک رقمی -یک میلیون بشکه معقولانه باشد نسبت به ذخایر اگر آن کمپانی بگوید که من ۲۰۰ هزار بشکه برنمی دارم یا که به عکس بگوید من ۲ میلیون بشکه برمی دارم .این حق را به او نداده اند .
نفت صنعت پیچیده ای است .یک چاهی را اگر بیش از مقدار معین استخراج بکنی در واقع آن چاه را شما می کشی.اگر بازیافت مجدد که هست فنی اگر گازهایی را که لازم است به چاه برگرداند به قول اصطلاح فنی انژکتوم بکنند، نکنند این حفظ منافع مملکت نیست و این تا حالا در مملکت ما نشده است .
راهی که برای ما می ماند دوتاست .چون مردمانی هستیم که به امضای خودمان پابند هستیم می گوییم:
یک امکان این است که تا سال ۱۹۷۹ یعنی شش سال دیگر کمپانی های موجود به کارشون ادامه بدهند به شرطی که درآمد هر بشکه نفتی که به ما می رسد از درآمد ممالک هم حوزه ما کمتر نباشد . به شرطی که قدرت صادراتی ایران به ۸ میلیون بشکه در روز برسد .و اگر فاصله ای که حالا تا اون رقم هست پر نشود .خود ما خواهیم کرد و خودما می دانیم که با اون نفت اضافه چه بکنیم و ۱۹۷۹ قرار داد خاتمه پیدا خواهد کرد و شرکتهای فعلی در اون ردیف بلندی که بعد خواهد ایستاد و مشتری نفت ایران خواهد بود بدون هیچ مزایایی مثل دیگری باید بیان صف بکشند .
یا اینکه از موقع امضای قرارداد جدیدی تمام مسئولیتها و هر چی که امروز در دست ما نیست تمام برگردد به ایران و شرکتهای عامل فعلی مشتری طویل المدت ما باشند و ما نفت را به اونها برای مدت طولانی به قیمت خوب با تخفیفی که هر کسی به مشتری خوب می دهد خواهیم فروخت و این تنها راه این است که اون بداند تا هر موقع که قرارداد طول می کشد ۳۰ سال ۲۵ سال، در صورتی که در مرحله ی دیگری را من اینقدر مطمئنا نیستم که این نفتها به همین سادگی به خارج از هر مملکتی صادر بشود . این مطلب باید به زودی برای ما روشن بشود .
شق اول ادامه کار تا ۷۹ یا مشتری شدن و مطمئن بودن به این که نفت برای مدت طولانی با شرایط مناسب در اختیار خواهد بود .ولی برای اینکه ما شق دوم را ما بتوانیم انجام بدهیم لازم است به خصوص که صنعت ما توسعه پیدا می کند . بهترین متخصصین خارجی را یا به طور دسته جمعی و متشکل یا به طور انفرادی در استخدام خود بیاوریم . برای ما کار بکنند و در حفظ و نگهداری و تفحص و تجسس بیش از گذشته دقت بکنیم و بیش از همیشه برای اینکه یک صنعت درجه یک با مقیاس بین المللی ایجاد بکنیم خواهیم کوشید و برای اینکار از فردا حتی باید مطالعه کنیم که سازمان شرکت ملی نفت ایران چطور خودش را برای یک زمان فوری و لو برای سال ۷۹ آماده و مهیا کند .
وقتی گریبان عدم ، با دست خلقت می درید
When he was ripping the collar of nonexistence by his creative hand,
وقتی ابد چشم تو را ، پیش از ازل می آفرید
When eternity was making your eyes at preexistence,
وقتی زمین ناز تو را در آسمانها می کشید
When earth was wheedling you in the sky,
وقتی عطش طعم تو را با اشکهایم می چشید
When thirst was tasting your flavor in my tears,
من عاشق چشمت شدم نه عقل بود و نه دلی
I fell in love with your eyes, there was neither heart nor mind
چیزی نمی دانم از این دیوانگی و عاقلی
I know nothing on madness and wisdom
یک آن شد این عاشق شدن ، دنیا همان یک لحظه بود
This loving happened instantly, the universe was that moment.
آن دم که چشمانت مرا ، از عمق چشمانم ربود
The moment when your eyes robbed my self through my eyes
وقتی که من عاشق شدم ، شیطان به نامم سجده کرد
When I fell in love, Satan was ordered to bow low before me
آدم زمینی تر شد و عالم به آدم سجده کرد
Adam became more earthly and the universe bowed before him
من بودم و چشمان تو نه آتشی و نه گِلی
It was me and your eyes, no fire, no mud
چیزی نمی دانم از این دیوانگی و عاقلی
I know nothing on madness and wisdom
من عاشق چشمت شدم شاید کمی هم بیشتر
I fell in love with your eyes, may be a little more
چیزی در آنسوی یقین شاید کمی همکیش تر
Something beyond belief, may be a little more
آغاز و ختم ماجرا لمس تماشای تو بود
The beginning and the end of the story was the experience of watching you
دیگر فقط تصویر من در مردمک های تو بود
From then on, my image was in your pupils
من عاشق چشمت شدم …
I fell in love with your eyes

To achieve results, one has to use all the available strengths—the strengths of associates, the strengths of the superior, and one’s own strengths. These strengths are the true opportunities.
To make strength productive is the unique purpose of organization. It cannot, of course, overcome the weaknesses with which each of us is abundantly endowed. But it can make them irrelevant.
Its task is to use the strength of each man as a building block for joint performance. (p.74)
Strong people always have strong weaknesses too. Where there are peaks, there are valleys. (p.75)
In an organization one can make his strength effective and his weakness irrelevant. (p.78)
During Yemen’s 2011 revolution General Hadi was “expected to form a national unity government and also call for early presidential elections within 90 days”. He was the sole candidate in the presidential election that was held on 21 February 2012.
(Yemen Ecology, Nature Protection Laws and Regulations Handbook Volume 1)
During the 33 years of the rule of first president of Yemen, Field Marshal General Ali Abdullah Saleh (who was a long-time ally of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, supported Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, and fled the country after revolution), and General Hadi’s rule, US had a base in Yemen from which they conducted drone assassinations, to reduce terrorism in the region.
-=-=-=-=-
Between 4 June and 23 September 2011,
Hadi was the acting President of Yemen while Ali Abdullah Saleh was undergoing medical treatment in Saudi Arabia following an attack on the presidential palace during the 2011 Yemeni uprising.[3] On 23 November, he became Acting President again, after Saleh moved into a non-active role pending the presidential election “in return for immunity from prosecution”. Hadi was “expected to form a national unity government and also call for early presidential elections within 90 days” while Saleh continued to serve as President in name only.[4] Mansour Hadi was chosen as a president for a two-year transitional period on February 21, 2012, in an election in which he was the only candidate. His mandate was extended for another year in January 2014.[5]
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
However, he remained in power after the expiration of his mandate.[6]

But his legitimacy was challenged by the Houthis.
He was further humiliated when the General People’s Congress, Hadi’s own political party!! ousted him as its leader and rejected his cabinet.

On 22 January 2015, he was forced to resign by the Houthis after a mass protest against his decision to raise the fuel subsidies and due to dissatisfaction with the outcome of the 2011 Revolution. Subsequently, the Houthis and the supporters of Saleh seized the presidential palace and placed Hadi under house arrest.
22 Jan 2015
Then general Hadi and his Prime Minister Khaled Bahah tendered their resignations to parliament.

General Wesley Clark, On giving up democracy as a weapon.
Streamed live on Oct 9, 2014
Watch for 3 minutes from minute 47.
I ran the argument for Prime Minister Hariri of Lebanon, he smiled and he said look it just won’t work here.Before you can do democracy here you have to fix economic rights. you have to end family owned businesses and you have to establish the kind of the structures that you have in the West everybody has a stakes in economy, everybody has capital, you can buy shares of stock; and people feel an ownership and sense of participation and legitimacy, then you can move to democracy.
So I think we got the cart before the horse. Now I can talk for a long time about this; but you know, We established this National Endowment for Democracy, back in the Reagan administration. And it is a big offensive weapon for America.
One of the first things Putin did when he became President was tell the other members of his stand: get rid of NDI (National Democratic Institute) and IRI (International Republican Institute), we don’t want these NGOs are here; they are subversive. you may think woe it is so mean.
You know, we got rid of the Communist Party in United States a long time ago because it was doing the same thing in United States that NDI and IRI;
and Ronald Reagan knew it when he established the National Endowment for Democracy he used their own technique against them.
but what is kind of scary about it is
If you’re sitting in Beijing and you look at the people in the street in Hong Kong and you read this line in the newspaper that said: some of the International Republican Institute to help form these protests; that would make you mad.
Just like if we had a problem in this country you said, you know, it’s a Manchurian candidate. it’s Chinese money coming in here. We don’t allow it, we try not to allow it. So we gonna all have to learn how to get along in smaller planet.
And we can’t push, just because we think democracy is so great; I mean just look at it; here, is it’s so great? Is it working so well right now? the answer is no, it’s a process. We think we can work through this but you can’t lay that process out.
Best democracy in the Middle East is Iran I guess, they seem to hold the regular elections and 99% of people vote. ha ha ha….

How Greenspan’s Framework Went Awry – Daniel Kahneman

Harvard University
Vice President Biden:
Starting Minute 52’18”
“The fact of the matter is, the ability to identify a moderate middle in Syria was—there was no moderate middle, because the moderate middle are made up of shopkeepers, not soldiers; they’re made up of people who, in fact, have—ordinary elements of the middle class of that country.” …….. “What my constant cry was that our biggest problem is our allies — our allies in the region were our largest problem in Syria.
” The Turks were great friends. And I have a great relationship with Erdogan [whom] I just spent a lot of time with. The Saudis, the Emiratis, etc. What were they doing? They were so determined to take down Assad and essentially have a proxy Sunni-Shia war. What did they do? “They poured hundreds and millions of dollars and tens and thousands of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against Assad. Except that the people who were being supplied were [Jabhat] al-Nusra and al-Qaeda and the extremist elements of jihadis coming from other parts of the world.
Now you think I’m exaggerating. Take a look: Where did all of this go? So now what’s happening? All of a sudden, everybody is awakened because … [IS] which was al-Qaeda in Iraq, which when they were essentially thrown out of Iraq, found open space and territory in … eastern Syria, worked with al-Nusra who we declared a terrorist group early on and we could not convince our colleagues to stop supplying them. So what happened?
Now, all of a sudden, I don’t want to be too facetious, but they have seen the Lord! Now … the president’s been able to put together a coalition of our Sunni neighbors, because America can’t once again go into a Muslim nation and be the aggressor.

Vice President Biden:
Minute 52’18”
“The fact of the matter is, the ability to identify a moderate middle in Syria was—there was no moderate middle, because the moderate middle are made up of shopkeepers, not soldiers; they’re made up of people who, in fact, have—ordinary elements of the middle class of that country.”
……..
“What my constant cry was that our biggest problem is our allies — our allies in the region were our largest problem in Syria. ”
The Turks were great friends. And I have a great relationship with Erdogan [whom] I just spent a lot of time with. The Saudis, the Emiratis, etc. What were they doing? They were so determined to take down Assad and essentially have a proxy Sunni-Shia war. What did they do?
“They poured hundreds and millions of dollars and tens and thousands of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against Assad. Except that the people who were being supplied were [Jabhat] al-Nusra and al-Qaeda and the extremist elements of jihadis coming from other parts of the world. Now you think I’m exaggerating. Take a look: Where did all of this go? So now what’s happening? All of a sudden, everybody is awakened because … [IS] which was al-Qaeda in Iraq, which when they were essentially thrown out of Iraq, found open space and territory in … eastern Syria, worked with al-Nusra who we declared a terrorist group early on and we could not convince our colleagues to stop supplying them. So what happened? Now, all of a sudden, I don’t want to be too facetious, but they have seen the Lord! Now … the president’s been able to put together a coalition of our Sunni neighbors, because America can’t once again go into a Muslim nation and be the aggressor. It has to be led by Sunnis to go and attack a Sunni organization. So what do we have for the first time?”
Now Saudi Arabia has stopped the funding going in, Saudi Arabia’s allowing training on its soil of American forces under Title 10, open training. The Qataris have cut off their support for the most extreme elements of the terrorist organizations and the Turks, President Erdogan told me — he’s an old friend — said you were right, we let too many people through. Now they’re trying to seal their border.”
“It took Saudi Arabia to figure out ISIL’s objective wasn’t Ramadi, it was Mecca and Medina.”

Modern psychology has a word that is probably used more than any other word in modern psychology. It is the word “maladjusted.”
This word is the ringing cry to modern child psychology. Certainly, we all want to avoid the maladjusted life. In order to have real adjustment within our personalities, we all want the well‐adjusted life in order to avoid neurosis, schizophrenic personalities.
But I say to you, my friends, as I move to my conclusion, there are certain things in our nation and in the world which I am proud to be maladjusted and which I hope all men of good‐will will be maladjusted until the good societies realize.
I say very honestly that I never intend to become adjusted to segregation and discrimination.
I never intend to become adjusted to religious bigotry.
I never intend to adjust myself to economic conditions that will take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few.
I never intend to adjust myself to the madness of militarism, to self‐defeating effects of physical violence.

Elizabeth May doesn’t like Likud party:
“We support a two-state solution, and we need to have the work being done by our government to secure a two-state solution — I am pro-Israel, but I am not pro-Netanyahu, and right now Canada seems to be a member of the Likud party,”
I am curious which party she likes?

While India has been demanding a review of the food subsidy limit for several years, the developed countries have refused to play ball. In fact, in the run-up to the Bali ministerial last December, the rich countries had even refused to acknowledge the food security proposal submitted by G-33, which includes countries such as Indonesia, Brazil and China. It was only after a link with trade facilitation was established that food security even came on the agenda for the ministerial.

Whether one believes the God exists or not., some statements are consequentially true.
Think about:
“Thou shalt not steal”
“Thou shalt not kill”
They actually lead to curse. Not necessarily to supernatural curse.
They lead to very natural curse.
They lead to death.
So there is something real in Bach’s BWV 54
Stand firm against sin,
otherwise its poison seizes hold of you.
Do not let Satan blind you
for to desecrate the honour of God
meets with a curse, which leads to death.
Listen to Bach : Widerstehe doch der Sünde, BWV 54:
Yoshikazu Mera – Bach : Widerstehe doch der Sünde, BWV 54
We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don’t understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back.”

Conformity is the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to group norms. Norms are implicit, unsaid rules, shared by a group of individuals, that guide their interactions with others. This tendency to conform occurs in small groups and/or society as a whole, and may result from subtle unconscious influences, or direct and overt social pressure.
‘Until secrecy, prejudice, bias, misrepresentation, and propaganda as well as sheer ignorance are replaced
by inquiry and publicity,’ , ‘we have no way of telling how apt for judgement of social policies
the existing intelligence of the masses may be’ (Dewey 1927, p. 209).
“The unsolved problem of democracy is the construction of an
education which will develop that kind of individuality which is intelligently alive
to the common life and sensitively loyal to its common maintenance.” (Dewey, 1899-1924, V.11).

Historians such as Richard Overy have argued that the importance of the memo, which was written personally by Hitler, can be gauged by the fact that Hitler, who had something of a phobia about writing, hardly ever wrote anything down, which indicates that Hitler had something especially important to say.[47] The “Four-Year Plan Memorandum” predicated an imminent all-out, apocalyptic struggle between “Judeo-Bolshevism” and German National Socialism, which necessitated a total effort at rearmament regardless of the economic costs.[48]
In the memo, Hitler wrote:
Since the outbreak of the French Revolution, the world has been moving with ever increasing speed toward a new conflict, the most extreme solution of which is called Bolshevism, whose essence and aim, however, are solely the elimination of those strata of mankind which have hitherto provided the leadership and their replacement by worldwide Jewry. No state will be able to withdraw or even remain at a distance from this historical conflict…It is not the aim of this memorandum to prophesy the time when the untenable situation in Europe will become an open crisis. I only want, in these lines, to set down my conviction that this crisis cannot and will not fail to arrive and that it is Germany’s duty to secure her own existence by every means in face of this catastrophe, and to protect herself against it, and that from this compulsion there arises a series of conclusions relating to the most important tasks that our people have ever been set. For a victory of Bolshevism over Germany would not lead to a Versailles treaty, but to the final destruction, indeed the annihilation of the German people…I consider it necessary for the Reichstag to pass the following two laws: 1) A law providing the death penalty for economic sabotage and 2) A law making the whole of Jewry liable for all damage inflicted by individual specimens of this community of criminals upon the German economy, and thus upon the German people.[49]
“The star possesses no anger; the dawn bears no malice. Light is satisfied in being light. Light is everything; the human race has no other love.” “The French revolution is for all the world. It is a battle perpetually waged for Right, and perpetually gained for Truth. Right is the innermost part of man; Truth is the innermost part of God. What can be done against a revolution which has so much right on its side? Nothing. To love it. That is what the nations do. France offers herself, the world accepts her. The whole phenomenon lies in these few words. An invasion of armies can be resisted; an invasion of ideas cannot be resisted.”
Victor Hugo
People’s real quality of life will not change for better until more powerful countries change for better. It is not because powerful countries are worse than others. It is because with power comes ability and responsibility.
As we continue unfair, irrational, predatory and abusive behavior of past empires (inside and outside their territories), we not only, unnecessarily, lose our freedoms, privacy, morality, and democracy; but also, shatter the hopes of people in less advanced countries for such ideals as well. It results bitterness in lives of billions who, with current level of our science and technology, could have sweet lives now.

-Belief in own exceptionality,
-Insecurity and desire to prove oneself
-Impulse control.
MOST fundamentally, groups rise and fall over time. The fortunes of WASP elites have been declining for decades. In 1960, second-generation Greek-Americans reportedly had the second-highest income of any census-tracked group. Group success in America often tends to dissipate after two generations. Thus while Asian-American kids overall had SAT scores 143 points above average in 2012 — including a 63-point edge over whites — a 2005 study of over 20,000 adolescents found that third-generation Asian-American students performed no better academically than white students.
The fact that groups rise and fall this way punctures the whole idea of “model minorities” or that groups succeed because of innate, biological differences. Rather, there are cultural forces at work.
That insecurity should be a lever of success is another anathema in American culture. Feelings of inadequacy are cause for concern or even therapy; parents deliberately instilling insecurity in their children is almost unthinkable. Yet insecurity runs deep in every one of America’s rising groups; and consciously or unconsciously, they tend to instill it in their children.
A central finding in a study of more than 5,000 immigrants’ children led by the sociologist Rubén G. Rumbaut was how frequently the kids felt “motivated to achieve” because of an acute sense of obligation to redeem their parents’ sacrifices. Numerous studies, including in-depth field work conducted by the Harvard sociologist Vivian S. Louie, reveal Chinese immigrant parents frequently imposing exorbitant academic expectations on their children (“Why only a 99?”), making them feel that “family honor” depends on their success.
Moreover, being an outsider in a society — and America’s most successful groups are all outsiders in one way or another — is a source of insecurity in itself. Immigrants worry about whether they can survive in a strange land, often communicating a sense of life’s precariousness to their children. Hence the common credo: They can take away your home or business, but never your education, so study harder.
The dominant culture is fearful of spoiling children’s happiness with excessive restraints or demands. By contrast, every one of America’s most successful groups takes a very different view of childhood, inculcating habits of discipline from a very early age — or at least they did so when they were on the rise.
But research shows that perseverance and motivation can be taught, especially to young children. This supports those who, like the Nobel Prize-winning economist James J. Heckman, argue that education dollars for the underprivileged are best spent on early childhood intervention, beginning at preschool age, when kids are most formable.

have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government.We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower (1961)

Mr. RUBY. There is an organization here, Chief Justice Warren, if it takes my life at this moment to say it, and Bill Decker said be a man and say it, there is a John Birch Society right now in activity, and Edwin Walker is one of the top men of this organization–take it for what it is worth, Chief Justice Warren.
Mr. RUBY. I am in a tough spot, and I don’t know what the solution can be to save me.
And I know our wonderful President, Lyndon Johnson, as soon as he was the President of his country, he appointed you as head of this group. But through certain falsehoods that have been said about me to other people, the John Birch Society, I am as good as guilty as the accused assassin of President Kennedy.
How can you remedy that, Mr. Warren? Do any of you men have any ways of remedying that?
Mr. Bill Decker said be a man and speak up. I am making a statement now that I may not live the next hour when I walk out of this room.
Now it is the most fantastic story you have ever heard in a lifetime. I did something out of the goodness of my heart. Unfortunately, Chief Earl Warren, had you been around 5 or 6 months ago, and I know your hands were tied, you couldn’t do it, and immediately the President would have gotten ahold of my true story, or whatever would have been said about me, a certain organization wouldn’t have so completely formed now, so powerfully, to use me because I am of the Jewish extraction, Jewish faith, to commit the most dastardly crime that has ever been committed.
Can you understand now in visualizing what happened, what powers, what momentum has been carried on to create this feeling of mass feeling against my people, against certain people that were against them prior to their power?
That goes over your head, doesn’t it?
Chief Justice WARREN. Well, I don’t quite get the full significance of it, Mr. Ruby. I know what you feel about the John Birch Society.
Mr. RUBY. Very powerful.
Chief Justice WARREN. I think it is powerful, yes I do. Of course, I don’t have all the information that you feel you have on that subject.
Mr. RUBY. Unfortunately, you don’t have, because it is too late. And I wish that our beloved President, Lyndon Johnson, would have delved deeper into the situation, hear me, not to accept just circumstantial facts about my guilt or innocence, and would have questioned to find out the truth about me before he relinquished certain powers to these certain people.
Chief Justice WARREN. Well, I am afraid I don’t know what power you believe he relinquished to them. I think that it is difficult to understand what you have to say.
Mr. RUBY. I want to say this to you. The Jewish people are being exterminated at this moment. Consequently, a whole new form of government is going to take over our country, and I know I won’t live to see you another time. Do I sound sort of screwy–in telling you these things?
Chief Justice WARREN. No; I think that is what you believe, or you wouldn’t tell it under your oath.
Mr. RUBY. But it is a very serious situation. I guess it is too late to stop it, isn’t it?
All right, I want to ask you this. All you men have been chosen by the President for this committee, is that correct?
Chief Justice WARREN. Representative Ford and I are the only members of the Commission that are here.
Mr. Rankin of the Commission is employed as our chief counsel.
Mr. Rankin employed Mr. Specter and Mr. Ball as members of the staff.
You know who the other gentlemen here are.
You know that Mr. Moore is a member of the Secret Service, and he has been a liaison officer with our staff since the Commission was formed.
Representative FORD. Are there any questions that ought to be asked to help clarify the situation that you described?
Mr. RUBY. There is only one thing. If you don’t take me back to Washington tonight to give me a chance to prove to the President that I am not guilty, then you will see the most tragic thing that will ever happen.
And if you don’t have the power to take me back, I won’t be around to be able to prove my innocence or guilt.
Now up to this moment, I have been talking with you for how long?
Chief Justice WARREN. I would say for the better part of 3 hours.
Mr. RUBY. All right, wouldn’t it be ridiculous for me to speak sensibly all this time and give you this climactic talk that I have?
Maybe something can be saved, something can be done.
What have you got to answer to that, Chief Justice Warren?
Chief Justice WARREN. Well, I don’t how what can be done, Mr. Ruby, because I don’t know what you anticipate we will encounter.
Representative FORD. Is there anything more you can tell us if you went back to Washington?
Mr. RUBY. Yes; are you sincere in wanting to take me back?
Representative FORD. We are most interested in all the information you have.
Mr. RUBY. All I know is maybe something can be saved. Because right now, I want to tell you this, I am used as a scapegoat, and there is no greater weapon that you can use to create some falsehood about some of the Jewish faith, especially at the terrible heinous crime such as the killing of President Kennedy.
Now maybe something can be saved. It may not be too late, whatever happens, if our President, Lyndon Johnson, knew the truth from me. But if I am eliminated, there won’t be any way of knowing.
Right now, when I leave your presence now, I am the only one that can bring out the truth to our President, who believes in righteousness and justice.
But he has been told, I am certain, that I was part of a plot to assassinate the President.
I know your hands are tied; you are helpless.
Chief Justice WARREN. Mr. Ruby, I think I can say this to you, that if he has been told any such thing, there is no indication of any kind that he believes it.
Mr. RUBY. I am sorry, Chief Justice Warren, I thought I would be very effective in telling you what I have said here. But in all fairness to everyone, maybe all I want to do is beg that if they found out I was telling the truth, maybe they can succeed in what their motives are, but maybe my people won’t be tortured and mutilated.
Chief Justice WARREN. Well, you may be sure that the President and his whole Commission will do anything that is necessary to see that your people are not tortured.
Mr. RUBY. No.
Chief Justice WARREN. You may be sure of that.
Mr. RUBY. No; the only way you can do it is if he knows the truth, that I am telling the truth, and why I was down in that basement Sunday morning, and maybe some sense of decency will come out and they can still fulfill their plan, as I stated before, without my people going through torture and mutilation.
Chief Justice WARREN. The President will know everything that you have said, everything that you have said.
Mr. RUBY. But I won’t be around, Chief Justice. I won’t be around to verify these things you are going to tell the President.
Mr. TONAHILL. Who do you think is going to eliminate you, Jack?
Mr. RUBY. I have been used for a purpose, and there will be a certain tragic occurrence happening if you don’t take my testimony and somehow vindicate me so my people don’t suffer because of what I have done.
Chief Justice WARREN. But we have taken your testimony. We have it here. It will be in permanent form for the President of the United States and for the Congress of the United States, and for the courts of the United States, and for the people of the entire world.
It is there. It will be recorded for all to see. That is the purpose of our coming here today. We feel that you are entitled to have your story told.
Mr. RUBY. You have lost me though. You have lost me, Chief Justice Warren.
Chief Justice WARREN. Lost you in what sense?
Mr. RUBY. I won’t be around for you to come and question me again.
Chief Justice WARREN. Well, it is very hard for me to believe that. I am sure that everybody would want to protect you to the very limit.
Mr. RUBY. All I want is a lie detector test, and you refuse to give it to me. Because as it stands now—and the truth serum, and any other–Pentothal–how do you pronounce it, whatever it is. And they will not give it to me, because I want to tell the truth.
And then I want to leave this world. But I don’t want my people to be blamed for something that is untrue, that they claim has happened.
Chief Justice WARREN. Mr. Ruby, I promise you that you will be able to take such a test.
Mr. RUBY. When?
Chief Justice WARREN. You will have to let me see when we can figure that out. But I assure you, it won’t be delayed, because our desire is to terminate the work of the Commission and make our report to the public just as soon as possible, so there won’t be any misunderstanding caused by all of these rumors or stories that have been put out that are not consistent with the evidence in the case.
But it will not be unnecessarily delayed, and we will do it on behalf of the Commission, I promise you.
Mr. RUBY. All I want, and I beg you–when are you going to see the President?
Chief Justice WARREN. Well, I have no date with the President. I don’t know just when. But as soon as I do see him, I will be glad to tell him what you have said.
Mr. RUBY. All I want is to take a polygraph to tell the truth. That is all I want to do.
Chief Justice WARREN. Yes.; that, I promise you you can do.
Mr. RUBY. Because my people are going to suffer about things that will be said about me.
Chief Justice WARREN. Yes; well, I promise.
Mr. RUBY. Hold on another minute.
Chief Justice WARREN. All right.
Mr. RUBY. How do you know if the facts I stated about everything I said, statements with reference to, are the truth or not?
Chief Justice WARREN. Well, if you want a test made to test those principal questions, we will work them out so they can be tested.
As I understand it, you can’t use the polygraph to say now this is the story.
Mr. RUBY. I know that.
Chief Justice WARREN. To say you have the story of Jack Ruby. You can’t do that.
Mr. RUBY. I know that. You can clarify by questioning me when I conceived the idea and what my answer would naturally be that Sunday morning.
Chief Justice WARREN. Maybe I can help the situation this way. Suppose you list for us, if you can, the questions that you would like to have asked of you on the polygraph to establish the truth of your testimony.
What things do you consider vital in it, and what would you like to have verified?
Mr. RUBY. Yes; but you are telling me to do these things–these things are going to be promised, but you see they aren’t going to let me do these things. Because when you leave here, I am finished. My family is finished.
Representative FORD. Isn’t it true, Mr. Chief Justice, that the same maximum protection and security Mr. Ruby has been given in the past will be continued?
Mr. RUBY. But now that I have divulged certain information because I want to be honest, all I want to take is a polygraph test and tell the truth about things and combat the lies that have been told about me.
Now maybe certain people don’t want to know the truth that may come out of me. Is that plausible?
Representative FORD. In other words, the Chief Justice has agreed, and I on the Commission wholeheartedly concur, that you will be given a polygraph test as expeditiously as possible.
And I am sure you can rely on what has been stated here by the Chairman.
Mr. RUBY. How are we going to communicate and so on?
Chief Justice WARREN. We will communicate directly with you.
Mr. RUBY. You have a lost cause, Earl Warren. You don’t stand a chance. They feel about you like they do about me, Chief Justice Warren. I shouldn’t hurt your feelings in telling you that.
Chief Justice WARREN. That won’t hurt my feelings, because I have had some evidence of the feeling that some people have concerning me.
Mr. RUBY. But you are the only one that can save me. I think you can.
Chief Justice WARREN. Yes?
Mr. RUBY. But by delaying minutes, you lose the chance. And all I want to do is tell the truth, and that is all.
There was no conspiracy. But by you telling them what you are going to do and how you are going to do it is too late as of this moment.
Chief Justice WARREN. You take my word for it and the word of Representative Ford, that we will do this thing at the earliest possible moment, and that it will be done in time. It will be done in time.
Mr. RUBY. Well, you won’t ever see me again, I tell you that. And I have lost my family.
Chief Justice WARREN. Yes?
Mr. RUBY. No, no; you don’t believe me, do you?
Chief Justice WARREN. To be frank with you, I believe that you are not stating now what is the fact.
I don’t say you don’t believe it, but I believe that I will be able to see you again and that we will be able to take this test that you are speaking of.
Well, I think we have tired Mr. Ruby. We have had him here for close to 4 hours now, and I am sure our reporter must be equally tired, but we appreciate your patience and your willingness to testify in this manner for us.
Mr. RUBY. All I want to do is tell the truth, and the only way you can know it is by the polygraph, as that is the only way you can know it.
Chief Justice WARREN. That we will do for you.

He was among the top 100 Global Thought Leaders for 2013, as ranked by the Duttweiler Institute, Zurich, Switzerland’s leading think tank. He studied natural sciences at Cambridge University, where he was a Scholar of Clare College, took a double first class honours degree and was awarded the University Botany Prize (1963). He then studied philosophy and history of science at Harvard University, where he was a Frank Knox Fellow (1963-64), before returning to Cambridge, where he took a Ph.D. in biochemistry (1967). He was a Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge (1967-73), where he was Director of Studies in biochemistry and cell biology. As the Rosenheim Research Fellow of the Royal Society (1970-73), he carried out research on the development of plants and the ageing of cells in the Department of Biochemistry at Cambridge University. While at Cambridge, together with Philip Rubery, he discovered the mechanism of polar auxin transport, the process by which the plant hormone auxin is carried from the shoots towards the roots.
From 1968 to 1969, as a Royal Society Leverhulme Scholar, based in the Botany Department of the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, he studied rain forest plants. From 1974 to 1985 he was Principal Plant Physiologist and Consultant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Hyderabad, India, where he helped develop new cropping systems now widely used by farmers. While in India, he also lived for a year and a half at the ashram of Fr Bede Griffiths in Tamil Nadu, where he wrote his first book, A New Science of Life, published in 1981 (new edition 2009).
Since 1981, he has continued research on developmental and cell biology. He has also investigated unexplained aspects of animal behaviour, including how pigeons find their way home, the telepathic abilities of dogs, cats and other animals, and the apparent abilities of animals to anticipate earthquakes and tsunamis. He subsequently studied similar phenomena in people, including the sense of being stared at, telepathy between mothers and babies, telepathy in connection with telephone calls, and premonitions. Although some of these areas overlap the field of parapsychology, he approaches them as a biologist, and bases his research on natural history and experiments under natural conditions, as opposed to laboratory studies. His research on these subjects is summarized in his books Seven Experiments That Could Change the World (1994, second edition 2002), Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home (1999, new edition 2011) and The Sense of Being Stared At (2003, new edition 2012).
In his most recent book (2012), called The Science Delusion in the UK and Science Set Free in the US, he examines the ten dogmas of modern science, and shows how they can be turned into questions that open up new vistas of scientific possibility. This book received the Book of the Year Award from the British Scientific and Medical Network.
In 2000, he was the Steinbach Scholar in Residence at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. From 2005-2010 he was the Director of the Perrott-Warrick Project, funded from Trinity College, Cambridge University. He is also a Fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in California, a Visiting Professor at the Graduate Institute in Connecticut, and a Fellow of Schumacher College in Devon, England.
Majority rule is the best when it cares about minorities.
Let us promise each other that when we have majority, we rule with care about minorities.
Refusing to accept the rule of majority, use of force by minority, coup against democratically elected government leading to minority rule is classical tyranny, it is the worst that can happen.
Democratic majority rule that doesn’t care about minorities is not stable. It is a recipe for disaster. It may lead to revolt of minority and an unstable lose-lose situation. However, history has shown that military juntas kill about 1000 to 10000 times more people than “democratically elected but not liberal” governments.
Let us promise each other that we will never again support a coup or use of force against a democratically elected government.
Dissenters who tell their fellow citizens what is really going on are subject to smear campaigns that, like clockwork, are aimed at the political heretic. Truth is treason in the empire of lies.

“News signifies something which has just happened, and which is new, just because it deviates from the old and regular. But its meaning depends upon relation to what it imports, to what its social consequences are. This import cannot be determined unless the new is placed in relationship to the old…without this coordination and consecutiveness, events are not events, but mere occurrences”
(John Dewey, The Public and Its Problems, 153).

After rape, oppression is the second horror of human existence.
It is a terrible caricature of obedience.”

There are at least two types of myths
Type 1: Myth about how nature works
Type 2: Myth describing wishes and ideals of how the world should be
Type 1 is replaced by findings through scientific method.
Type 2 will stay with us and will remain a way we communicate our needs and desires.

Nothing appears more surprising to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers. When we enquire by what means this wonder is effected, we shall find, that, as Force is always on the side of the governed, the governors have nothing to support them but opinion. It is therefore, on opinion only that government is founded; and this maxim extends to the most despotic and most military governments, as well as to the most free and most popular.
David Hume (1777)
“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”

Andriod: can be an FTP server, a lot of easy to install GUI apps , can not mount ntfs because is not rooted even when you are the root, NO Sound!
Mint: Good multi media upon installation, Few gui apps, good for simple PC with office. If it already has what you want go for it, if not configuration will need scripting.
==========================================================
None of the Linux flavors can work as easy Samba servers because windows doesn’t support the old samba anymore !! However, Android-86 can be a nice FTP server on a above 1024 port like 2020 within a home network that is already protected! by encryption.
Andriod-86 4.3 can be installed as a directory on any partition,
Installation is simple,
you are logged on as root 🙂
but the installation is not rooted!
stick mount is necessary for easy mounting of USB drives
Es file explorer is needed
servers ultimate app lets create a lot of servers that on mint are not that easy and may need scripting
when is not rooted a lot things like access and mounting NTFS drives and all other cool things are not usable.
Its hardware compatibility is much less than Mint and for example sound card may not work.
================================
however, Mint automatically mounts USB devices (even NTFS)
has an easy way of samba installation.
but most of the packages that can easily be installed don’t have gui to start and stop or configure the server. 🙁
===================================
UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

Routine is habitual practice, petrified vision, or the mummified self, resigned to a single and definitive version of its being.
We spend our time in a daze of diminished existence, neither awake nor asleep. We resign ourselves to compromise and routine, seeing the world through the categories of the established culture or the methods of the established disciplines and reconciled to the mutilation of our experience that we long ago accepted when we entered on a particular course of life; and then to the mummy of diminished experience that formed around, as we grew older, because we allowed ourselves to be subdued.
For the vast majority of men and women, overwhelming economic necessity and drudgery overwhelm and disguise a stupefaction that would otherwise be apparent. For the increasing number of people who, with the material progress of society, are released from grinding material constraint, there is no such disguise.

حافظ بیا دوباره غزل کهنه رو بر انداز
شعرم حدیث تکرار تو بیا طرح دیگر انداز
بیا تا دوباره از چشمه غزل جرعه ای بنوشیم
همه کهنه بر کنیم از نو جامه تازه ای بپوشیم
به خونخواهی دل از جوهر و قلم خنجری بسازیم
به صد لشگر غزل فاتحانه تا قلب غم بتازیم
هنوزم گرم نفسهام هنوزم سرشارم از عشق
اما وقت خوندنم نیست اما جای موندنم نیست
مردم از این همه گفتن شعر سرد عاشقونه
من غلام اسمیم که تا همیشه بی نشونه
بیا تا دوباره از چشمه غزل جرعه ای بنوشیم
همه کهنه بر کنیم از نو جامه تازه ای بپوشیم
به خونخواهی دل از جوهر و قلم خنجری بسازیم
به صد لشگر غزل فاتحانه تا قلب غم بتازیم
حافظ مددی کن که دمی مانده از تو آهی
خاکم به زیر پاتا برسم با تو تا سُراهی
من یه رودم یه رود به سد نشسته
تن پاک و خسته ام توی دست این صخره ها شکسته
من یه شعرم یه شعر بلند پرواز
رها میشدم اگه گم نمیشدم توی شهر آواز
بیا تا دوباره از چشمه غزل جرعه ای بنوشیم
همه کهنه بر کنیم از نو جامه تازه ای بپوشیم
به خونخواهی دل از جوهر و قلم خنجری بسازیم
به صد لشگر غزل فاتحانه تا قلب غم بتازیم

كجاست روزگار صلح و ايمني؟ Where is the era of peace and security?
شكفته مرز و باغ دلگشاي او Blossomed its delighting garden.
كجاست عهد راستي و مردمي؟ Where is the era of honesty and advocating for people?
فروغ عشق و تابش ضياي او Love’s brightness and light shining.
كجاست دور ياري و برابري؟ Where is the era of companionship and equality?
حيات جاوداني و صفاي او Its eternal life and purity.
فناي جنگ خواهم از خدا كه شد I want the demise of war, from god, because
بقاي خلق بسته در فناي او Survival of people is depending on it.
زهي كبوتر سپيد آشتي Praise to, the white dove of reconciliation!
كه دل برد سرود جانفزاي او For its song that’s so heart warming.
رسيد وقت آنكه جغد جنگ را It is the time for the crow of war,
جدا كنند سر به پيش پاي او To be executed at arrival of the dove of peace.
بهار طبع من شكفته شد چو من The spring of my soul started to give blossoms,
مديح صلح گفتم و ثناي او Since I started to admire the peace, and praise her.
(Malak-Alshoaraa-Bahaar, 1884-1951, Mashhad, Iran) Translated by: Amir H. Ghaseminejad (c) 2006
What makes the difference between “ideal” and an ordinary object of desire is that the former is impersonal; it is something having (at least ostensibly) no special reference to the ego of the man who feels the desire, and therefore capable, theoretically, of being desired by everybody. Thus we might define an “ideal” as something desired, not egocentric, and such that the person desiring it wishes that every one else also desired it.
I may wish that everybody had enough to eat, that everybody felt kindly towards everybody, and so on, and if I wish anything of this kind I shall also wish others to wish it. In this way, I can build up what looks like an impersonal ethic, although in fact it rests upon the personal basis of my own desires–for the desire remains mine even when what is desired has no reference to myself. For example, one man may wish that everybody understood science, and another that everybody appreciated art; it is a personal difference between the two men that produces this difference in their desires. (p.115,116)
Russell, B. (1945). A History of Western Philosophy. Simon & Schuster
The future of democracy is allied with the spread of the scientific attitude. it is the
sole guarantee against wholesale misleading by propaganda, More important
still, it is the only assurance of the possibility of a public opinion intelligent
enough to meet present social problems.
It is individual persons who need to have this attitude substituted for
pride and prejudice, for class and personal interest, for beliefs made dear by
custom and early emotional associations.
The significant revolution of modern times is not industrial or
economic or political, but the revolution taking place in the art of
creating consent among the governed . . . Within the life of the new
generation now in control of affairs, persuasion has become a self-conscious art
and a regular organ of popular government. None of us
begins to understand the consequences, but it is no daring prophecy
to say that the knowledge of how to create consent will alter every
political premise.
(Walter Lippmann, Public Opinion)
DDB
Daniel Domscheit-Berg (DDB), founder of OpenLeaks who defected from the media organization WikiLeaks last year, has apparently destroyed a cache of documents he stole from WikiLeaks when he left the organization. According to reporter Holger Stark of the German news organization Der Spiegel, Domscheit-Berg told Stark some time on August 20 that the cache was gone forever.
On August 19, DDB confirmed to another German news organization, Heise, that he would be destroying at least “3000 unpublished private whistleblower communications.” DDB said before taking the risk for the sources that submitted material to WikiLeaks he wanted to be on the safe side. He indicated the files would, under supervision of a notary, be deleted. The deletion would also be confirmed with an affidavit.
He inexcusably decided the files and the encryption keys for the cache would have to be deleted and that those who had submitted documents to WikiLeaks would have to send the material again.
Der Spiegel reports on the contents:
…In the data base was among other things, the so-called “no-fly list” of the U.S. government, on which the names of suspects were listed, which are prohibited from entering an aircraft. Assange said the material would also have insider information from 20 right-wing organizations.
Assange describes how DDB entered into a relationship with the woman he is now married to, Anke Domscheit-Berg. Anke was “Director of Government Relations” for Microsoft Germany. Daniel moved into Anke’s house in Berlin in 2010 and began to live more openly “without any counter-intelligence cover.” That led WikiLeaks to issue a “policy directive” that Daniel would no longer be permitted to come in contact with “source material.”
Daniel and Anke married. And following their marriage:
DDB secretly, and in clear violation of WikiLeaks internal security directives, recorded internal WikiLeaks encrypted “chat” conversations. He initially publicly denied having done so, but attempted to place many of these recordings into his ghostwritten book, most of which were rejected by his publishers’ lawyers as violations of German privacy law. Others he secretly conveyed to hostile media, such as Wired magazine, which had been involved in the arrest and persecution of US intelligence analyst Bradley Manning.
Assange goes on to claim that a “Western intelligence officer” told him Daniel has been in contact with the FBI. He adds Anke was in contact with the CIA when she worked for McKinsey & Company, a consulting group. Assange doesn’t jump to conclusions but supplies the information to cast further doubt on the character and motives of a man that has clearly displayed malice toward WikiLeaks in the past months.

reddit Alexis Ohanian here promotes openleaks!!!
Controversy erupted today on Reddit after an email exchange between the company’s co-founder, Alexis Ohanian and the intelligence contractor Stratfor emerged on WikiLeaks.
A 2011 Anonymous hack of Stratfor, a contractor for the Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Intelligence Agency, ended with millions of the company’s internal emails released by WikiLeaks as the “Global Intelligence Files.”
Redditors searching through that data dump discovered an email exchange between Ohanian and Stratfor employees, dating from January 2011. It was apparently initiated by Ohanian, who used the subject line: “reddit cofounder consulting for Stratfor to bring in the social media dollars.”
“I have never worked for Stratfor,” he told the Daily Dot, though the subject line of his email implies he did make an effort to do so.
In a 2011 email to Stratfor’s vice president of communications, he wrote, “It was so fortuitous to meet you and your husband!…I can let you know when I’ll be free to come by the office.”
Dozens of Reddit threads popped up Monday accusing Ohanian of being in bed with a company that’s extremely unpopular with Redditors. The rumors grew so loud that Ohanian eventually issued a public denial. He tweeted screenshots of messages he’d exchanged with Stratfor, including one revealing his proposal, a relatively benign-sounding offer to audit Stratfor’s social media presence for $25,000.

Nayirah Testimony refers to the controversial testimony given before the non-governmental Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990, by a female who provided only her first name, Nayirah. In her emotional testimony, Nayirah stated that after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers take babies out of incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital, take the incubators, and leave the babies to die. Though reporters did not then have access to Kuwait, her testimony was regarded as credible at the time and was widely publicized. It was cited numerous times by United States senators and the president in their rationale to back Kuwait in the Gulf War.
Her story was initially corroborated by Amnesty International[1] and testimony from evacuees. Following the liberation of Kuwait, reporters were given access to the country and found the story of stolen incubators unsubstantiated. However, they did find that a number of people, including babies, died when nurses and doctors fled the country.
In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah’s last name was al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيره الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign which was run by Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti government. Following this, al-Sabah’s testimony has largely come to be regarded as wartime propaganda.

Martin Luther King 1967: Modern psychology has a word that is used probably more than any other word in psychology, it is the word maladjusted. It is the ringing cry of modern child psychology, maladjusted. Now of course we all want to live the well adjusted life in order to avoid neurotic and schizophrenic personalities. But as I move toward my conclusion I would like to say to you today in a very honest manner that there are some things in our society and some things in our world to which I am proud to be maladjusted and I call upon all men of good will to be maladjusted to these things until the good society is realized. I must honestly say to you that I never intend to adjust myself to racial segregation and discrimination. I never intend to adjust myself to religious bigotry. I never intend to adjust myself to economic conditions to take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few. Never leave millions of God’s children smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society.
“They may attack us with their social media and other forces that back them, but we will resist against all these attacks,”
“If being Alevi means loving the caliph Ali, I am a perfect Alevi. I am trying to live the way he did,”
The prime minister responded to ElBaradei’s letter during the İstanbul iftar dinner, saying: “why would I ever talk to you? You are not an elected. You are an appointed by a coup administration.” He also called the formation of a cabinet by the military a “tragedy,” saying this had no place in democracies.
Erdoğan also lashed out at the West once again for not “having the spine” to condemn the recent developments in the most populous Arab state.
“You have won 1.5 but Morsi won 52 percent of the vote. First, you have to show him respect,” Erdoğan addressed ElBaradei, adding: “Our issue is not about Morsi, but we consider Morsi the president. We still consider Morsi the president out of our respect for the Egyptian people”
“If ElBaradei had been elected, I would have used the same words that I use for Morsi today. But he could not get elected, Morsi was elected with 52 percent,” Erdoğan said in his continuing criticism of the coup that toppled the first democratically elected president of Egypt.
“If Mohamed Mustafa ElBaradei was elected president of Egypt, I would say so about him, but he received 1,5% less of the votes, and Mohamed Morsi received 52% of the vote and was elected president.”
“The greatest surprise was when the individual who carried out the coup, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the Defence Minister, stood before the person he himself had appointed as the president of the country in order to take his oath.” – See more at: http://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/europe/6608-erdogan-surprised-by-al-sisis-oath-and-elbaradeis-lie#sthash.3lwaTNEU.dpuf

The It
The ID is the part of the mind containing the drives present at birth; it is the source of our bodily needs, wants, desires, and impulses, particularly our sexual and aggressive drives. The id operates according to the pleasure principle, the psychic force that motivates the tendency to seek immediate gratification of any impulse.
If the mind was solely guided by the id, individuals would find it difficult to wait patiently at a restaurant, while feeling hungry, and would most likely grab food off of neighbouring tables. According to Freud the id is unconscious by definition.
The I
The ego acts according to the reality principle; i.e. it seeks to please the id’s drive in realistic ways that will benefit in the long term rather than bring grief.
The ego comprises the organized part of the personality structure that includes defensive, perceptual, intellectual-cognitive, and executive functions. Conscious awareness resides in the ego, although not all of the operations of the ego are conscious
An example would be to resist the urge to grab other people’s belongings and buy them instead.
The I above
The superego reflects the internalization of cultural rules, mainly taught by parents applying their guidance and influence.
The super-ego aims for perfection.[22] It comprises that organized part of the personality structure, mainly but not entirely unconscious, that includes the individual’s ego ideals, spiritual goals, and the psychic agency (commonly called “conscience“) that criticizes and prohibits his or her drives, fantasies, feelings, and actions.
