Fred,

You know that I am blunt, honest, and direct.  My time is precious, and I do not want to waste my time, your, or those of others.  So let me state at bluntly as I can.

1. In my opinion, Amir Hussein Fetanat, Shokoh Mirzadegi, and Esmail Nooriala are filth.  Fetanat collaborated with SAVAK and lo dad his best friend Keramat Daneshiyan.  Mirzadegi lo dad Khosrow Golesorkhi.  Nooriala (who signed statesments supporting Khomeini and supporting taking Americans hostage as you can see the evidence in Tudeh Party's official organ that I attached in my blog) at the very time that JM was struggling against Khomeini, now condemns JM for selling out to Khomeini!!!!!!!!!!!!

This filth Esmail Nooriala has been attacking JM and INF for a long time using bizzare and false charges.

2. Please watch Atefeh Gorgin's interview with VOA.  She explicitly mentions Mirzadegi as the person who lo dad Golesorkhi.

3. My criticism of you is due to your support for monarchists.  You are too smart not to know that Reza Shah was collaborating with Nazi Germany (which was the reason the Allies invaded Iran in August 1941).  You are too smart not to know that in the months prior to the Allied invasion, Reza Shah had the papers publish terribly racist attacks on Jews.  You are too smart not to know that the Pahlavis have jumped from ship to ship (e.g., Tsarist Russia, UK, Nazi Germany, UK and US) when they thought that power was the dominant power in Iran and the region.  The Pahlavis collaborayed with foreign powers so that theycan have power and loot the treasury and the people.  You are too smart not to know that the Shah oppressed our Bahai citizens when he wanted to reward extremist Islamic forces allied with him (e.g., Brujerdi, Falsafi, Behbahani) and then stopped oppressing them when the U.S. ordered him to stop oppressing Bahais.  You are too smart not to know that had Hitler won the war, what the Pahlavis would have done to Jewish Iranians. 

You support the Shah as "Iran saz" and RP, because Mossad and Israel were allied to them. 

My criticism of you is to push you to face the truth.  You know that it the truth that Shah was a terrible tyrant.  But you support the monarchists due to their alliance with Mossad and Israel.  You can NOT claim to support democracy and human rights AND suport a bunch of tyrants who brutalized the Iranian people.

I read (legitimate and not so legitimate) criticisms of JM and INF.  We encorage criticisms of JM and INF.  As you may know many of our members have been or currently are members of NAMIR (Dr. Bakhtiar's party).  We have lively debates among ourselves.  Debate and criticism are healthy and necessary for democracy.

We also defend ourselves.  When anti-democratic forces attack us, we will attack them back.  This is part of the political and ideological struggle. 

Best,

Masoud

How did The great Reza Shah collabaretd with Germany?  The allied invaded Iran because they needed a southern route to  supply Russian forces or else the mighty  Russians sooner or later  would have collapsed due to lack of supplies and  World War II would have taken Twenty years to finish instead of six!

Both Jews and Bahai's lived peacefuly and prospered during pahlavi era so this anti semtaic none sense and anti bahai stuff is nothing but a rubbish accusasions.  (Kind of reminds me of 1970's propaganda stuff)

I don't about Fred and others but I have been waiting patienctly  for over thirty plus years for all the Pahlvai haters to create a first class, modern, deomcractic , prosperous country based on the guide lines of Jebheh Meli, MKO, coalition of leftists , islam and Marx and it is not happening! I am guessing in another six decades if we are all mysteriosuly still alive, we will still  not see creation of this amazing society they have in mind!

Cheers.  

MRX,

1. Please read any history or political science book that treats Iran in the 1930s-1940s.  The Nazi German regime built many things for Reza Shah and there were hundreds of Nazi officials in Iran to help Reza Shah.  After the Allied invasion, many Nazi officials were arrested and put in prison.  Even worse than Reza Shah was Gen. Zahedi.  The British kidnapped him and took him to their prison in the Palestine mandate.

2. We did have aconstitutional revolution.  We also did have a lukewarm democracy after WWII.  But that was destroyed by the Shah, who wanted to destroy the Constitution so that he can loot the treasury and steal the people's property like his fascist father had done.

3. The U.S. had ordered his nokar the Shah to stop oppressing the minorities.  That is why the Shah stopped oppressing our Bahai citizens.

:-)

1) so the Nazi Gemnay built some stuff in Iran,  what is the issue ?  The communists who have more blood in their hands than all the Nazi's put together built things in other countries as well, you have issues with that too? (some thing tells me you don't!) Do you buy chinese products now and day? (Any guilt feelings there!)

2) Really? Luke warm democracy, be serious. That being said shah of Iran worked for 25 years (An avergage of 12 to 16 hours perday by all accounts ) to bring the country from the shia hole that it was to some thing half ass modern and semi secular.(Ironically you are among one of the beneficieries of his policy or you be a simple sheppered now!) If his goal was to loot, he would have done it for serveral years and took off to Europe and U.S and live in peace. I am still waiting to see some documents to show his lootings!

3)  so the guy that was so soft that kept forgiving his enemies ( including the one's that tried to assisinate him and even gave jobs to them in his cabinet) wanted to oppress minorities until unclse sam stepped in, ya tight!

Professor stop embrassing yourself, it's 2015 not 1970!
