Questions

Mohsen Sazegara has been making these videos for a few years now.  Does anyone know what he does for a living?  What's his actual job?  How does Sazegara make money to live?  I'll give credit where credit is due - I wish I was smart enough to find someone who would pay me to make YouTube videos and appear on Persian language media from time to time.

VOA + NIAC = 30 more years of akhoond

Just like Arab spring, US is for a pro American Islamist movement across Middle East. Keep them in the dark ages until the last drop of their oil is shipped out.

Green wrist band

I don't get it:

I don't watch VOA, but this man has a right to be upset, if he was let go without being made to feel respected. Still, what baffles me is this: doesn't the Green armband he's wearing represent Khatami, Moussavi and the reformists? It's really confusing to me. I genuinely don't get it. 

Farid Zaccharia - CNN - did a huge piece on how US opening doors with China and USSR even (Gorbachev etc.)  were the biggest causes for change in US-China/Russia relations. It doesn't seem like such an extreme thought when applied to Iran, or other countries, for that matter. 

Stlll, Kudos to this man for standing up when he feels he's been wronged. People do that in a free society. I just don't get the green wrist band. Maybe someone can explain, given I'm not a viewer of VOA?

Sounds more like US getting ready for war

Sounds to me like US want yes sayers in case of war. Would be counterproductive of US to do the opposite. Another thing. The program they had sucked, was like watching reruns of the same episode of three guys agreeing with each other all the time. Could be just so that they were losing audience.

Principles!

He proves he's a man of integrity and does not sell out, while the likes of Nurizadeh are media whores and members of 'Hezb-e Baad' who until recently, called Khomeini "Emam Khomeini," posting Mossadegh's picture on the wall while apologizing for Shah's shortcomings!

توانا بُوَد هرکه میرزا بُوَد

شما هم فقط ایراداتتون بنی اسرائیلیه.  خودش میگه یک ریال هم از صدای آمریکا نگرفته و تا حالاش هم حرف بی ریطی نزده، شما دیگه چتونه؟  صدای آمریکا که فعلاً تسمه پروانه شُل کرده و صداش در اومده با این رامین عسگر که گَند کار رو دراورده. جمشید چالنگی هم نیومد که نیومد، دیگه حوصله همه رو با ادا و اطوارش دراورده بود. برو بی.بی.سی. رو نگاه کن که از اولش هم نخ و قیچی دستشون بود.

...

من ضمن فرستادن ایمیل به وزارت امور خارجه امریکا و شکایت از عمل کرد آقای عسگرد در صدای امریکا، دیگر برنامههای این شبکه خبری را تا اصلاح کارکردشان و برکناری تفاله های شناخته شده استبداد جمهوری اسلامی در آنجا، دنبال نخواهم کرد.

Dorood be Dr. Sazegara

Many say nothing, others try to, and Dr. Sazegara didn't stop analyzing the current events in Iran and helping our youths since the fake elections.

His videos are seen by more than 2000 person every day and more than thousands of people inside Iran listen to his words.

Zendeh bad Irani vaghe-E,

Zendeh bad Iran-e azad.

Stop moving your hands!

Look man, stop moving your hands. Tie them behind your back or something, before you come before the camera.

Your hands have an independent mind of their own, obviously, and their constant, and completely non-sequitur movements pretty much block what your mouth is saying (whatever it is).

STOP IT! 

As for what you said ... I didn't catch any of it. Your hands were telling a different story, and much more loudly. I am sure I didn't miss anything, though, since according to your hands you didn't say anything of any import. Also, the fact that you have to be saying it on VOA tells us that you're just working for the U.S. State Department. Can't be too good!  

Run Sazi, Run!

'An Apology' or 'No Apology' makes no difference! A 'traitor' is marked as a 'traitor' for life! Only a 'self pity' feeling for that!

PS: Is anybody besides the 'below' watching Sazi's videos postings? Or is it just has been said 'Kabootar ba kabootar, buz ba buz..............?'
