To: Diri & Azeriwarrier
If you don't understand or pretend you don't know...this site was not established for people that are betraying Iran and want to cut our country into separate pieces, Khozestan, Kordestan, Azarbiajan.......anyone who wants that has betrayed Iran. This site is meant to be for activists who believe Iran is their country and fighting to free their country from being taken hostage by bunch of ragheads. If you two have nothing to talk about except diversion and telling **** Iran....then you should not be here. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech and everything to do with your intents, which is hating Iran & Iranians and changing the subject to your own personal agenda.

Interesting, Azerwarrier is back under Azeriactivitst.....and his buddy Diri is welcoming him back.....I advise both of you that hate Shah so much and both are lefty/commi ideologue (Tudehi) to go to Jebhemeli.org or ipc website you will fit there perfectly....
As I mentioned in my previous e-mail. If you are only thinking about the demise of Iran and think this is the website to spread your propaganda about your separatist agenda and and want to cut Iran into pieces you are not welcomed on this site and will be reported. This has nothing to do with freedom or democracy and everything to do with your intent to cause diversion and focus from Iran to your personal agenda.

Diri my Dear, you have a lot to learn about America....We are called the "melting pot" for a reason, immigrant nation of refugees, slaves, colonial power's outcasts over time...with over half a million Iranians, Americans all, by birth, or by naturalization....refugees from the IRI for the most part.

Diversity is one of the great strengths of a Democracy. Or of a forum of Democracy for that matter.

Now if you can, or wish, to try and justify the IRI's abysmal lack of tolerance to diversity, or to Democracy....be my guest.

It will be interesting to see the results....(chuckle).

Diri,

When I was a young boy, one of my best friends was an Armenian kid named Kevin Kalajian..family emigrated to the states around 1917 or so, survivors of the Russian purge in Armenia...if you know the history of WW1, the Russians in retreat from Turkey, took out their frustration on the Armenian people.

Kevin's older brother served with honor in Vietnam, and died there.

My folks came from Sweden originally in the early 20's on my dad's side.

Mom's side from Ireland, Scotland and Wales immigrants from early 1700's and prior...got a bit of Native American Indian blood in me as well...

As I said, America's a melting pot....I'm living proof.

Perhaps this will help put the thread back on track...



U.S.-EU Declaration on Enhancing Cooperation in the Field of Non Proliferation and the Fight Against Terrorism




Promoting international peace and security is of vital importance to the United States and the European Union. People all over the world should have freedom from fear and want and live in dignity. Societies have become more interconnected and more interdependent. And as the events of September 11, 2001 and March 11, 2004 show, the United States and the European Union have also become more vulnerable to threats which are more diverse, less visible, and less predictable.

Fighting terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, coupled with the risk that such weapons could be acquired by terrorists, remain our greatest security challenges. In this context, we recall the 2004 Dromoland Castle Declarations on Combating Terrorism and on the Non-Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, which still provide the framework for our cooperation. We are fully committed to strengthen and support the important role of the United Nations in assisting member states in combating both challenges.

We reaffirm our commitment to cooperate in our efforts to combat global terrorism in full respect of human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, and to address the underlying conditions that terrorists can seize to recruit and exploit to their advantage. We pledge to intensify our efforts to strengthen international cooperation to encourage the global and effective implementation of UN conventions and protocols on terrorism. We also work together with a view to adopting the Comprehensive Convention Against Terrorism. We broadly support the principles of the comprehensive counter-terrorism strategy as proposed by UNSG Annan at the Madrid Conference in March 2005.

Our bilateral cooperation extends to developing comprehensive and efficient border security processes, more secure travel documents, contacts between our law enforcement agencies and improved information-sharing abilities. We will reinforce and expand our cooperation in the fight against terrorist financing. We will continue to strengthen the abilities of our legal systems to prosecute terrorists and will enhance our judicial cooperation in criminal matters. We will also continue our work to enhance the capacities of other countries to combat terrorism.

We will further strengthen measures against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by state and non-state actors. In this context, we reaffirm our support for the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and will continue to work together to strengthen it. We pledge to intensify our collaboration and coordination in promoting strict implementation of and compliance with relevant treaties, agreements and commitments on non proliferation. We will enhance the security of weapons-usable materials, facilities, and technology. We reaffirm also our willingness to work together to strengthen and universalise the disarmament and non-proliferation treaties and regimes that ban the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems.

We will assist other states around the world to build stronger legal, regulatory, enforcement and other institutional capacity against proliferation. And we will work for more effective responses to address proliferation threats and prevent or remedy non-compliance. Our shared commitment to address proliferation threats is reflected in the "US-EU Joint Programme of Work on the Non-proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction.

We remain united in our determination to see the proliferation implications of Iran's advanced nuclear program resolved. Towards that end, we reconfirm our full support for the ongoing European efforts to secure Iran's agreement to provide objective guarantees that its nuclear program is intended for exclusively peaceful purposes. As those discussions proceed, we urge Iran to abide fully by the terms of the November 2004 Paris Agreement and by the November 2004 IAEA Board of Governors resolution, including the need to suspend fully and verifiably all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities. We reiterate the need for Iran to cooperate fully with IAEA requests for information and access, to comply fully with all IAEA Board requirements and resolve all outstanding issues related to its nuclear programme. Finally we call on Iran to ratify without delay the Additional Protocol and, pending its ratification, to act in accordance with its provisions.

We note with deep concern the DPRK's nuclear weapons program and its 10 February statement that it has manufactured nuclear weapons. The DPRK has clearly violated its commitments under the NPT and its IAEA safeguards agreement and other international non-proliferation agreements. The DPRK must comply fully with its non-proliferation obligations, and dismantle its nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons programs in a permanent, transparent, thorough, and verifiable manner. We stress that the Korean Peninsula should be free from nuclear weapons, the security and stability on the Peninsula be maintained and the nuclear issue be peacefully resolved through dialogue and negotiations. We fully reaffirm our support for the Six-Party Talks and believe this represents an important opportunity to achieve a comprehensive solution to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Vision of Future For Change: Spirit Of Cyrus The Great Leadership Versus Machiavelli Vision (Draft Notes 02)



Understanding the Vision of Future, problem domain, detecting inflection points, secular democracy, Cyrus The Great Leadership vision versus Machiavelli vision, Fear Society and Terror State versus Free Society and Human Rights are the key elements which should be examined to simplify our decision making process and direction based on facts, integrity, critical national and international issues for better future of mankind and not based on political parties vision, right, left , center, who wins today, who can spend more money to push certain agenda … .

To safeguard freedom it is necessary to remind ourselves regarding James Madison famous statement:
"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men! over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions. "
The Federalist No. 51 (James Madison).



Where Are We And Facts About Our Small Planet?

The perspective we get on Earth, our planet appears to be big and sturdy with an endless ocean of air. From space, astronauts often get the impression that the Earth is small with a thin, fragile layer of atmosphere. For a space traveler, the distinguishing Earth features are the blue waters, brown and green land masses and white clouds set against a black background. We should love and respect our small beautiful mother earth planet, because without it there is nothing to talk about it. Many dream of traveling in space and viewing the wonders of the universe. In reality all of us are space travelers. Our spaceship is the planet Earth, traveling at the speed of 108,000 kilometers (67,000 miles) an hour . As long as we can not create another planet like earth we must be careful not to destroy this planet environment for future generation. Today the planet earth has over 6 billion population with 1 billion over poverty and over 5 billions under poverty line with unproductive life and many problems. The Fanatics, FASCISTS, Islamic Fascists, Neo Colonialists Power (China, Russia, EU3 …), Terrorists, Islamists ..... are becoming the biggest obstacles for freedom and progress in this planet. The question is how can we change to enhance the quality of life and environment in this planet ?

What is inflection point?

Understanding inflection point can help leaders, decision makers and voters to detect a change in outlook for better decision making process.


An inflection point is a point on a curve at which the sign of the curvature (i.e., the concavity) changes. Inflection points may be stationary points, but are not relative maxima or relative minima. For example, for the curve y=x to the power of 3 plotted above, the point x=0 is an inflection point.
Mathematically, we encounter an inflection point when the rate of change of the slope of the curve (referred to as its "second derivative") changes sign, for instance, going from negative to positive. In physical terms, it's where a curve changes from convex to concave, or vice versa. As shown in the diagram, it's the point at which a curve stops curving one way and starts curving the other way."


What is The Real World Strategic Inflection Point?
Finding the real world social, political, historical, business, individual strategic inflection point is far more difficult to detect than Mathematical inflection points, requires knowledge, superb judgement and high level of awareness.
Real world inflection point occurs where the old strategic picture dissolves and gives way to the new situation, allowing the social, political, historical, business, individual to ascend to new heights. However, if you don't detect and navigate our way through a peak and after the peak then the declines and disaster will occur. It is around such inflection points that are puzzled and observe, Things are different. Something major has changed and new direction, idea is needed to ascend not descend.

What is the Reality Of Today?

Based on today reality that less than one-half of one percent of all Americans made a political contribution of $200 or more to a federal candidate in 2004, when the average cost of winning a seat in the House of Representatives has topped $1 million.
The abstract terms “Realist” ,“Idealist” and “National Interest” without clear substance are widely used by spectrum of right, left and center political categories to hide professional politicians real intentions, without clear policy to be able to flip flop as they need, this is called “Hypocrisy” . Unfortunately today “Hypocrisy” is the name of the game for short term gain in the name of “National Interest”, “Realist” and “Idealist …. this is why the great majority of Americans and others in free world are loosing interest in politics and don’t have much trust and respect for majority of today elected politicians. If we agree with this observation then we are at the inflection point period, this period of inflection point might take years relative to 1000s of years of human history. In order to expose the truth we need to avoid these abstract terms that has become muddy buzzword, and added a lot of complexity. In order to simplify for our complex time and better vision of future we should judge our professional politicians relative to main two dominating philosophical vision Machiavelli versus Cyrus The Great.


Quick Overview Of Machiavelli Vision:
Machiavelli discussed history and politics in purely human terms, and simply ignored moral consideration. Unfortunately Machiavelli is considered to be one of the principal founders of modern political thought. In chapter 17 of The Prince, Machiavelli discusses whether it is better for a prince to be loved or feared: "The reply is that one ought to be both feared and loved, but...it is much safer to be feared than loved, if one of the two has to be wanting ...for love is held by a chain of obligation which, men being selfish, is broken whenever it serves their purposes, but fear is maintained by a dread of punishment which never fails." Often, the most denunciation came from those who practiced what Machiavelli preached- a hypocrisy of which Machiavelli might approve, in principle! Therefore we should not judge politicians by their words but by their hard and difficult choices, actions, and great sacrifices.


Quick Overview Of Cyrus the Great Vision:
Cyrus the Great, the father of first Human Rights declaration over 2500 years ago, abolition of slavery and national or racial discriminations, freedom to choose one's place of residence, freedom of religious beliefs, and establishing peace amongst nations. Such ideas are still alive and clearly esteemed by all those who believe in human dignity and his rights. The Iranians regarded Cyrus The Great as The Father, the Babylonians as The Liberator, the Greeks as the Law-Giver, and the Jews as the Anointed of the Lord. According to Prof. Richard Frye from Harvard University “surely the concept of One World, .... the fusion of peoples and cultures in one 'Oecumen' was one of their important legacies”. Therefore Cyrus the Great considered as the greatest political leader and liberator of all time throughout human history.

The American Founding Fathers Vision:

The founding fathers - George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Adams … are impressive revolutionary characters …
Recent research by historians are stating the fact that Cyrus The Great Book by Xenophon and The Prince book by Machiavelli were the required reading by the American Revolutionary Founding Fathers and the personal copies of these books owned by Founding Fathers exists in Library of Congress . The drafting of the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution was more influenced by Cyrus The Great leadership and vision than Machiavelli. Cyrus The Great Leadership Vision is based on Free Society, Human Rights, Moral values and high code of ethics versus Machiavelli vision which is based on Fear Society, Immorality and Unethical means to control society. The American founding fathers - George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Adams … were not Machiavellian and that is why they have been able to create a great foundation for future.
We should try to find answer to the following question, why the founding fathers have achieved so much in short period of time that our generation can not achieve with far superior power and knowledge?

Today Simple Rules For Evaluating Policy and Strategy

Our future expectations from policy makers and leadership are defined with new set of test cases for foreign policy evaluation criteria to be able to measure success and failure results more easily. Our recommended test cases and criteria are based on Cyrus The Great Spirit, the American founding fathers vision, spirit of freedom, US constitution and defined as follows:

1- Have a secular democracy purpose
2- Have a Human Rights purpose
3- Have a Free Society purpose
4- Have a primary effect to increase freedom at global level.
5- Have the element of War Of Ideas to expand public awareness, education and expansion of truth.
6- Have an element of Freedom of Choice
7- Applying the U.S.A. Supreme Court accepted "Lemon test," to foreign policy decisions, strategy and conduct. According to the "Lemon test," in order to be constitutional, a law or public act must: a) Have a secular purpose. b) Have a primary effect that neither advances nor inhibits religion. c) Not result in excessive governmental entanglement with religion.
8- Move towards better unified global fair Justice System.
9- Separation Of Oil and State, Separation Of Blood Oil and Human Rights, Separation Of Blood Oil and Free Society, Separation Of Blood Oil and Secular Democracy and Stop Global Warming.

Conclusion and Possible Direction:


If we accept Cyrus The Great Leadership Vision, Free Society and Secular Democracy as a basis of far superior political philosophy and model for world order than current dominating Machiavelli model, then as first step we must distance ourselves from current model and old habit by evaluating elected officials position with the new set of rules. Due to the fact that there are many complex issues facing the world then you might consider to team up with others who agree with this concept to volunteer for the research regarding different issues to find the truth and by brainstorming session to choose a position or direction that is closer to our ideal. In this decision making process we should avoid to make our decision based on who is stronger today in political establishment or prejudging candidates based on political party affiliations or pre assigned tag of left, center, right, liberal or conservative….

Independent of who has been elected for different positions in the free world, we the people and Activists must be vigilant and continue to pressure elected officials to move in the right direction for better future by any means of Media available to the freedom-loving Activists . The public struggle of better vision of future should not end with the election and we must continuously be vigilant, remember only the Truth, Honesty, and Integrity will survive the test of time and history …..
To safeguard freedom always remember James Madison famous statement: "If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.”

Exploring Myth Of Obama For Change Is Not Real Change Based On Facts, Truth , Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds Platform


In the name of Cyrus The Great the greatest leader of wisdom, virtue and liberator of all time throughout human history who the Iranians called him as The Father, the Babylonians as The Liberator, the Greeks as the Law-Giver, and the Jews as the Anointed of the Lord and his name appears twenty two times in the Bible. According to Prof. Richard Frye from Harvard University “surely the concept of One World, .... the fusion of peoples and cultures in one 'Oecumen' was one of their important legacies”. Liberated Babylon; freed over 42,000 Jews from captivity; rejected slavery, declared the first human rights charter; and ruled over those he had liberated with respect and benevolence over 2500 years ago. According to recent research finding by Iranian-American scholar Mr. Cyrus Kar the Cyropaedia of Xenophon book was the required reading for our American Revolutionary Founding Fathers. The drafting the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution was influenced by Cyrus The Great leadership and vision. For further detail regarding these facts please watch preview of documentary by Cyrus Kar from http://www.spentaproductions.com

With admiration and respect to our American Revolutionary Founding Fathers tradition who incorporated part of Cyrus vision and spirit in the The Constitution of the United States of America and in direction from James Madison:

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men! Over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.” The Federalist No. 51 (James Madison).

As good citizen of this great free nation and following James Madison we have to watch all our elected high government officials, Journalists, writers, news media and scholars statements and when we see deviation from truth, Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds then we need to communicate and increase public awareness for correct decision 2008 based on facts and good deeds.

Obama For Change team has taken the concept of change from ActivistChat idea which was developed from 2001 untill 2006 and posted in ActivistChat forum. It is surprising that Obama team has not referred to this site as originator of the idea for change and they have not provided substance or progressive policy for real change ….
Complex Inflection point for change first applied by one of Intel original founders and executive Dr. Andy Grove for new business model at Intel and activistchat community expanded on the idea by applying it to major social and political changes since 2001 …. If you read different ActivistChat posts regarding real change below then you will notice where Obama team got the idea from and how he is planning to deceive the public as possible leader for change without substance …

Senator Obama For Change Has No Past Established Records Or Correct Policy For Real Change:

American youth and liberals should be educated regarding myth of Obama change that might become bigger disaster for the U.S.A than what Carter created disaster as founder of Islamist movement in the name of Human Rights …..

Our Free Iran activists community with 60 supported petitions are clearly understand what kind of true change are we asking …

Facts about abusing real change to deceive American youth and African American must be examined and should be exposed for public decision in November 2008 election…..

Senator Obama International Records:
No significat experience or great contributions.

Obama Iran Policy Rejected Based On FREE Iran Facts:

- Senator Hillary Clinton sharply criticized Senator Barack Obama as inexperienced on national security, calling him "irresponsible and, frankly, naive" for saying he would be willing to meet without preconditions with leaders of Iran, North Korea and three other nations during his first year as president.
Source: http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/07/25/news/dems.php

- Have we ever heard Obama rejected what Carter created in the name of human rights for Iran , Afghanistan , Iraq and Pakistan over past 30 years?

- In past few years that Obama was Senator , he did not support regime change , Free Society, Secular Democracy, Women Rights and Human Rights in Iran What kind of Myth of Change is he talking about when he did not do anything for Free Iran and most critical subject of past few years.

- Why American Elites and Educated Will Reject Obama Based On Facts For Repeating : 'I'd still talk with Ahmadinejad' when they learn about the following petitions:
Petition 11: Demanding To Prevent Terrorist Master Mahmood Ahmadinejad From Entering U.S.A. to Attend the UN General Assembly in New York in September[Majles Shora Hambastegi]
Petition 12: Expelling Envoys to the United Nations of the Islamic Republic[Majles Shora Hambastegi]
PETITION 13: Protesting Terrorist Ahmadinejad's Trip To U.S.A[SOSIRAN]
Petition 52: The people of Iran DO NOT recognise the Islamic Republic as their legitimate or rightful government or representative [ Ms. Sayeh Sirjani and Mr. Dariosh Afshar ]



Obama Iraq Policy Rejected Based On FREE Iran Facts:

If Obama wins and leaves Iraq within 16 months after he becomes president while the Top Taazi Thugs regime in Iran has not changed then we should be ready for second Islamist regime, anarchy and another big disaster.

Understanding the Vision of Future, problem domain, detecting inflection points, secular democracy, Cyrus The Great Leadership vision versus Machiavelli vision, Fear Society and Terror State versus Free Society and Human Rights are the key elements which should be examined to simplify our decision making process how to vote in different elections for different candidates based on facts, integrity, critical national and international issues for better future of mankind and not based purely on political parties, right, left , center, who wins today, who can spend more money … . More sophisticated voters in democratic elections should increase their awareness regarding many facts and issues in multi dimensional manner and become well informed by educating themselves for possible voting decision without fear of making the mistakes.

To safeguard freedom it is necessary to remind ourselves regarding James Madison famous statement:

Cyrus the Great, the father of first Human Rights declaration over 2500 years ago, abolition of slavery and national or racial discriminations, freedom to choose one's place of residence, freedom of religious beliefs, and establishing peace amongst nations. Such ideas are still alive and clearly esteemed by all those who believe in human dignity and his rights. The Iranians regarded Cyrus The Great as The Father, the Babylonians as The Liberator, the Greeks as the Law-Giver, and the Jews as the Anointed of the Lord. According to Prof. Richard Frye from Harvard University “surely the concept of One World, .... the fusion of peoples and cultures in one 'Oecumen' was one of their important legacies”. Therefore Cyrus the Great considered as the greatest political leader and liberator of all time throughout human history.

The American Founding Fathers Vision:

The founding fathers - George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Adams … are impressive revolutionary characters …
Recent research by historians are stating the fact that Cyrus The Great Book by Xenophon and The Prince book by Machiavelli were the required reading by the American Revolutionary Founding Fathers and the personal copies of these books owned by Founding Fathers exists in Library of Congress . The drafting of the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution was more influenced by Cyrus The Great leadership and vision than Machiavelli. Cyrus The Great Leadership Vision is based on Free Society, Human Rights, Moral values and high code of ethics versus Machiavelli vision which is based on Fear Society, Immorality and Unethical means to control society. The American founding fathers - George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Adams … were not Machiavellian and that is why they have been able to create a great foundation for future.
We should try to find answer to the following question, why the founding fathers have achieved so much in short period of time that our generation can not achieve with far superior power and knowledge?



Conclusion and Possible Direction:

If we accept Cyrus The Great Leadership Vision, Free Society and Secular Democracy as a basis of far superior model than current dominating Machiavelli model, then as first step we must distance ourselves from current model and old habit by evaluating candidates with the new set of rules. Due to the fact that they are many candidates and many complex issues on the ballots then you might consider to team up with others who agree with this concept to volunteer for the evaluating process and brainstorming session to select a candidate of your choice that is closer to your ideal or research an issue. In this decision making process we should avoid to make our decision based on who will win or loose or who spend more money or prejudging candidates based on political party affiliations or pre assigned tag of left, center, right, liberal or conservative….
If the voters start to break with old habit then we might see better quality of candidates in future for different elected positions. In the free world not participating in the voting on election day is not correct choice . Independent of who is going to be elected we the individual and Activists must be vigilant and continue to pressure elected officials to move in the right direction by any means of Media available to the freedom-loving Activists . The public struggle of better vision of future should not end with the election day result and we must remember only the Truth, Honesty, and Integrity will survive the test of time and history …..
