Traitors of Iran: Ayatollah traders.

Iran's car imports drop 68% in month

Traitor is a strong word.

Imagine a business man in Iran goes to Germany and gets exclusive contract to import Mercedes Benz to Iran.

Imagine that business man then goes to Qom and sucks up to a priest there to get his blessing.

Put the two together and what do you get? Bloody traitor.

Why? Because that priest in Qom, will use all that money to fund the Hezbollah in Iran, in Syria and in Lebanon.

Do I really need to explain what the priests have done in Iran. Their phoney "Malelection" as I call it and the daily killing - all of it, has been mostly funded by the auto sector.

What is worse than the Ayatollahs for Iran? Petrol driven cars. Just look at the air pollution in Iran. Worse still it has divided the culture of Iran. The Ayatollah kids' show offs and the rest of the people. It's sick.

In ancient Iran, we knew ecology. Iran and the Earth, were God and Heaven, as religions nowadays call it. We did not bury people and just a few Emperors' tombs are buried above ground. Knowledge of hydrology was developed in Iran. Look at Persepolis and see its sewage system. Look at qanats.

So for thousands of years our land was clean. Our rivers were knowingly clean. Our air was knowingly clean. But above all our Fires have been knowingly clean and burning for thousands of years. The Emperor was proud to know nature and not abuse it. That is why we celebrate in Knowrooz.

And with that knowledge, we can see what filth is roaming our lands. It will be cleaned. Ya Ahura!

Going Bananas in Iran.

After that rather long and serious article, I thought I would lighten it up a bit. Substitute democracy for the banana.

Watch "5 Monkeys" on YouTube

Iranians that first went to Europe to get "educated" were told, "you might be the oldest civilization in the world, but you do not have democracy.

Pissed off and ridiculed, my ancestors thought, "right, we have to sort this out!" They took "The First Step" to reach it.

The first time it happened was the tobacco riots, at the turn of the previous century. The government increased the tax on tobacco and everyone went bonkers.

Politicians, were the new kids on the block. Their lesser friends were the upstart journalists. Their new found belief was called Democracy. They started climbing the steps toward it.

Just like the original monkeys in the video clip, they believed that, the banana was more important than anything else. Democracy was God.

And then, as if by chance we had Divine Intervention. They got scared. They became disunited. There were quarrels between them and their lesser friends. Suddenly violence crept in and before we knew it, that original fire was put out.

But was it the violence or something else that they could not explain, that undermined the violence in the first place? What happened to Democracy? Where did the friendship go?

For some odd reason a new order, like rising damp, had permeated Iranian civility. People were brain-washed with a violent spirit that had rained on them. Unity had gone.

After a while the younger generations, just carried on being even more violent, without any knowledge of who, what, where and when had started it all.

Iranian culture had slipped on the banana skin.

Iran's Secular Cultural Emperors.

I thought I would share some thoughts about spiritually motivated and secular cultural Emperors of Iran. I will then have a good moan at the end about our king.

Why do kings become Emperors? In Iran, we invented the concept of Empire. But why?

In a comical way, you can see how it all begins. Mythology teaches us, that the crown, used to be placed between four Lions, and the correct king, would be the brave one, to go and put the crown on his head. Or did the Lions know?

Later, kings would defend their power with the sword. Then came the word, which was mightier than the sword. And finally came, the word of God, which became the mightiest word of them all.

Being the oldest civilization on the planet, meant we went through this trend a few times. It is interesting to note an emperor was needed, everytime Iranian culture rose from the ashes. A king had to become an emperor, to be accepted by other kings, and a new Empire was born.

What magic words does a king say to become an emperor? Is it like, "hey guys I am no longer a king. As of this moment I am the emperor"? Lol.

No. He didn't say that, but look at these periods of Iranian history, when the country was fragmented, and you can see how an Empire would appear.

The first one is Cyrus the Great. His father was a Persian and his mother was a Mede. He had to choose between the two. Guess what he chose? Neither. He chose Wisdom.

The concept of Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds, indeed did lead Cyrus to good government, using human rights or Vohuman, as written in Zend-Avesta. Much later this concept, becomes plagiarized by Plato in Form of Good in Natural Law. Most of what you see as Common Law comes from it. But no ones gives Iranian culture the credit.

Anyway, something funny happened after Cyrus died. He had no descendant. Darius was chosen. And it was Darius, who took the Word of God to a level never done before.

As I said earlier, the word is mightier than the sword, but the Word of God is mightiest of the all. Darius states, "By Grace of Ahuramazda". That was said 2500 years ago. He was a theocrat. But his God was not the same God, as those in any other religion that came after him.

Dualistic Cosmology of Iran, is not based on heaven and hell. Darius showed he was a mere mortal, just like all the people. This united the people into an Empire. God was Wisdom shared by all. Social consciousness was created with words.

We all know the power and might of this Grace of Ahuramazda. But did you know it was from the oldest book in the world called The Zend-Avesta? Its oral tradition goes to the time before the last ice-age, some 20,000 years ago. We had three three hundred year Empires and every Abrahamic historian thinks it was done by sword.

All our history has been wiped out by Salman, but Alexander, as Eskandarnameh states, was half Iranian. Like Cyrus, he followed the philosophical lines, to solve his problem. Two great kingdoms on the planet were united, to produce concepts, that lead to the present standards of social behaviour in Europe and Asia.

This standard or Mehr or Mitra and Law (and ultimately into the Bible), were adopted as tools of administration of buildings and roads. Alexander together with Greek and Iranian engineers, created the world's greatest Empire called The Seleucids.

What is very interesting, is that there was anarchy and disarray, just before the Empire of Cyrus, Darius and Alexander. This was true, to a lesser extent, of the Parthian and Sassanians Empires. It required universal words to unite all.

But at no other time, did the power of the word become so prominent, as it was under another king. He also had a mother that was of Greek pedigree, and a father who was Iranian. So like Cyrus and Alexander he rose above blood and kin.

He felt some divine right and created the Safavids. Shah Ismail saw himself as an emperor, to unite all the divided parts of Iran under the Word of God. Islam, which was totally obliterated by the Mongul sword, came back under a new guise of Shiism of Safavids, who were ascetics in the first place. But Ismail was the youngest of the brothers and had to use the Word of God, just like Darius, to be mightier than the sword and build an Empire.

To summarize this view of history, the king, does not use his physical power or lineage, to remain in power. Even if he does actually have soldiers killing people, the people are happy to keep him in power, because he uses philosophical concepts, such as human rights, or references to Ahuramazda. Manipulating people's minds is more powerful than drawing blood.

Now to the moaning bit.

All this brings me to the present day situation. Our king does none of the above. He might say he believes in human rights, but it is not the human rights by Grace of Ahuramazda or Free Will, as expressed in Zend-Avesta. There is no reference to this simple Iranian root. There is however plenty of reference to a foreign concept, that plagiarised the Zend-Avesta. So sad.

Why is it sad? Well, just think of the ancient philosophers walking with him in spirit, who wrote all this, but cannot draw the king's attention. So you hear the king talk about human rights, but not one word how ancient practice of human rights, was the law in ancient Iran. All those years of formulating the laws for those Iranian Empires by top Iranian philosophers, and their spirits are not respected, because their parchments were burnt.

Not mentioning that it was an Iranian concept is wrong. Not expanding on it and really pushing it front and centre, is criminal. People are dying everyday in Iran. The Iranians that are doing the killing to other Iranians do not know of their ancient cultural roots. Their spirit is not in tune with their forefathers.

Now stay with me as I go into a huge jump in thinking.

Imagine walking next to the pillars of Persepolis. In another space-time your ancestor was there. You are next to each other across time. But if your mind is in Karbala, your mind is not there. That connection is not happening.

Back to reality.

If our king openly mentions, that he like Cyrus, Darius, Alexander, and Ismail before him, is a king, as written in ancient Iranian documents, then he would be seen as respecting something very secular and culturally Iranian. He does not do that. The people around him, and all people who love royalty, speak of it actively. In fact his father had the 2500 year celebrations. Neither of them have ever opened the Zend-Avesta or made referrence to ancient Iranian morality.

So my question is this. Why doesn't the king push this cause? What is the point of doing something totally different and confusing the issues? He should, just like Darius say "By Grace of Ahuramazda I have to save Iran". But he thinks that he will look like a despot. Referring to the culture of ancient Iran is not being despotic.

Obviously something is wrong somewhere in his belief in ancient Farr of Iran. How many of you know what Farr is? That is why some idiot with a useless dogma, can drive the country to ruins, with his foreign unfounded primitive belief system, and no one says anything. To have some primitive disgusting belief system is better than none at all. We have a cultural vaccum in Iran. We need our king to speak of non-political and non-religious ancient cultural roots of Iran, and how that is the way forward. Ignoramibus.

Culture is not secular. Culture has morals. Iranian culture has its own old Zend-Avestan morals, which by some standard are more secular. These secular morals civilized the world. As I mentioned earlier, Plato used it. But the secularity is Iranian.   Our king does not use them. He uses secular or political tools, that have nothing to do with Iranian culture. They are tools that are generic to the democratic process. And if some wise ass out of top notch university said it, then maybe he will use it. Sorry to be crude. Gozinesh is an older word than democracy and it means choice. We were talking about free will and choice before most humans could write.

The democratic process is a political tool, that has nothing to do with culture. It has nothing to with the substance or meaning of the ancient culture Iran. Democracy is mandatory, but it does not come first. Culture comes first. Respecting our ancient culture as an inspiration, is paramount. That is what all the Iranians are doing, to get "likes" on facebook. No one talks politics or religion. They show a picture of Persepolis. They share the great ancient scientific discoveries of Iran.

Just look at the reception, that ancient culture of Iran gets, from the people of Iran now. One tiny bracelet. One piece of stone with some cuneiform, is looked at with awe. It is not regarded as "royal" or despotic. We use it to recharge ourselves and to discover our identity. The ancient artist who made that, knew that you would find your Iranian roots thousands of years later. And you have. Our king needs to use our ancient culture to get Iran back. We can reach across time.

Ironically, the US's founding fathers who did not want to refer to semetic religions, used ancient secular books on Iran like Cyropaedia, to put USA on good footing. Yet no one in Iran knew about it in the 70s. Much needs to be done to bring back the old secular culture of Iran that built the world. Ya Ahura we will do it.
