Musings of a former chicken

Great Intellectual Iran & Iranian lover

Rouhash Shad.  My condolances to all true IRANIANS.

Drugs!

Some years back, a friend sent me a eulogy written by Haadi Khorsandi for Shapour Bakhtiar. It was short, but it was a great piece. At some point in that eulogy he talks of the rumor about Dr. Bakhtiar's opium addiction that was circulated, to a large extent, by some leftist groups which used such a false accusation to attack him as the last Prime Minister, before the revolution. Mr. Khorsandi goes on to say that Dr. Bakhtiar did NOT even smoke cigarettes, let alone abuse any hard drugs. My condolences to Mr. Homayoun's family and friends.

روح داریوش همایون در ملکوت اعلی شاد باد

حالا جوونیش سبیل هیتلری میگذاشته کاری ندارم ولی مقاله هاش به دل میشست و حرفهاش همیشه پایه هایی محکم در واقع بینی داشت برعکس اون برادرزاده اش شهرام همایون که به جز عربده کشی کاری بلد نیست.
این هم سخنان استاد مشیری درباره او:

Thank you Faramarz jon

I'd heard good thing about him. I think with the information that you gave me, now I can have an idea of who this person was. Just knowing that "he was the author of that article" and also "he could escape the prison right at the time of the revolution, while few people could do it" gives an impression of his political ideology and personality.

May his soul rests in peace, anyway. But I can't say he is a loss to the country.

بر سر تربت ما چون گذری همتی خواه   که زیارتگه رندان جهان خواهد بود 

یادش گرامی باد

If Drug addiction helps you live to the age of 80 then I guess

I will try it ...

LOL 

All the more that he was still good looking for his age ! 

I personally remember him for looking quite smart and smoking Havana Cigars during his interviews. 

Homayoon Like Egypt's Sadat never hid his early Pro German

Homayoon Like Egypt's Sadat never hid his early Pro German Sentiments. This was

the case of many people in the Middle East who were opposed to the British which they resented 

for their colonial domination. He obviously distanced himself from

from this morbid attraction which he later blamed on his blind enthusiasm as an inexperienced youth.

As my Link to the Constitutionalist Forum in the other thread shows, Homyoun

was to earn the respect of many people who were ideologically at oppposite ends

of the Iranian Political spectrum including Left Wing and even

former Revolutionaries and in recent years even Reformists belonging

to the Green Movement's Intelligenstia. I don't think he even was a party Member of SUMKA

but rather like the French would say a "Compagnon de Route" after definitively

abandoning all ties with that marginal Party. A party which never managed

to elect a deputy in the Iranian Parliament under the Pahlavis be it Father or Son.

Members in Tehran in the 1950’s. See Photo Here (Sitting behind the Fat guy and starring at the Camera)

SUMKA was founded by Davud Monshizadeh. Before 1952, SUMKA was referred informally to those in Iran who supported the Nazi

Germany during the WWII, but after 1952 SUMKA became the official National

Socialist Party of Iran which was ideologically closer to Spain’s Franchists than to German Nazis.

The Lethal Drugs Addictions

A lifetime addictions to narcotics will end with the early death whether one be the daughter/son of Mohammed Reza Pahlavi to commit suicide or a puppet minister of the same man to die with unexplained reasons!! Just Say No to Drugs!!

SHAH'S SCAPEGOAT

He was among many others who were used as the deposed shah's scapegoat and were placed in jail so that the corrupt and coward Pahlavis could run away with their lives and money.

ایول مش قاسم،

ایول مش قاسم، تاریخ آقای همایون را نمیدونستم.  بعد از اشارهٔ شما به "سومکا" و یک جستجوی سادهٔ اینترنتی متوجه شدم که ایشون عضو فعال حزب نازی در ایران بودن (قبل از اینکه به حزب‌های دیگر بپیوندند).  و میگن آقا فرد صهیونیسته!  امیدوارم که توبه کرده بودند که در قیامت (رستاخیز!)، به رحمت ایزدی، به فَروِهَران بپیوندند.

عزا عزا است امروز ، روز عزا است امروز

Souri

Mr. Daryoush Homayoun is the uncle of Mr. Shahram Homayoun (Channel One, LA.)

May he rest in peace.

Mr. Daryoush Homayoun was the minister of Information under Mr. Amouzegar and is known for writing the famous article about Khomeini in Etelaat which sparked the riots by the religious zealots. He was later  imprisoned by the late Shah, but escaped prison at the time of the revolution in 1979.

In one famous interview, when asked which of the Iranian kings does he compare the late Shah to, he answered, "Shah Mohammad Khan Khoda Bandeh!"

As you may know, that was the last Saljoogh king and fled when Changuiz Khan invaded Iran!

روانش شاد

پاینده ایران

Is there any relation

between Dariush Homayoon and Shahram Homayoon? Does anybody know? Thanks.

Great Loss ...

But his intellectual and Political legacy lives on ...

Sad. Very sad...

او یک سلطنت طلب، و مشروطه خواه واقعی‌  بود و نه یک پهلوی طلب زخم خورده و فرصت خواه. یاد و راهش گرامی‌ باد...
