طبقهبندی
گروههای عمدۀ ما البته به تشخیص این بنده از این قرار است:
اول ـ مهاجران از پیش تدارک هجرت دیده: اینها عده معدودی هستند که بهدلائل فرهنگی از قبیل ریشههای تحصیلی، خانوادگی از قبیل داشتن همسر آمریکایی، اقتصادی از قبیل تجارت، شناخت بازار آمریکا، سیاسی از قبیل اختلافهای بنیادی با رژیم گذشته، بهتدریج به اینجا آمدهاند و عدد آنها در سالهای آخر کمی بیشتر از معمول بوده است.
دوم ـ خوشباوران روزهای خوش: که بهدلیل ثبات وضع ایران، اتمام دورۀ کاری خویش در آن کشور، وجود فرزندان محصل در این کشور، چند سفر تفریحی برای دیدار و روبوسی نور چشمیها بدین طرف آب و ملاحظه برخی از تنعمات اینجا، خانه و زندگی تهران را فروخته و با تصور این که به نصف این قیمت و با اقساط حلوا جوزی میتوان در آمریکا و بخصوص کالیفرنیا خانهای لب اقیانوس خرید و با دریافت حقوق تقاعد به دلاری هفت تومان و ده شاهی، سلطنت بی تاج و تختی داشت، بار و بنه را بسته و پیش از حوادث به اینجا آمده و حتی به دریافت طلسم باطلالسحر کارت سبز هم نائل آمده و به بقیۀ رفقا نامه پشت نامه و توصیه پشت توصیه کردند که بفروش و بیا.
بهخدا در سال هفتاد و هفت یکی از همین دوستان که در اورنج کانتی ساکن بود آمد تهران یقه مرا گرفت که «دکتر جان، با بیست سال سابقه و بیست روز حقوق خودت را بازنشسته کن، بپر بیا کالیفرنیا، پرتقال داره قد طالبی، دختر داره مثل هلو و اتفاقاً هلو هم داره مثل دختر، معطل چی هستی!»
البته خانمها و آقایان میدانند که هلوهای اینجا با همه خوشآب و رنگی بسیار بیمزه تشریف دارند.
سوم ـ سوت شدهها: اینها گروهی هستند که دست تقدیر آنها را به تفاریق ایام چند ماه، چند هفته یا چند روز، پیش از وقایع به علتهایی از قبیل بورس دانشگاهی، ضرورت معالجه، دیدار کسان و بستگان به اینجا سوت کرده و بعد وقتی که دیدهاند هوای دیگری جاری است ماندهاند آن هم یک لنگهپا تا ببینند چه میشود. اینها از آن دسته آدمهایی هستند که به رادیوهای موج کوتاه چسبیدهاند، تمام روزنامههای فارسی را میخوانند و منتظرند که کار تمام شود.
چهارم ـ فوتشدهها: اینها گروهی هستند که همان روزهای اول با وزشهای تندبادهای موافق و مخالف از صفحۀ خاک وطن فوت شدهاند منتهی فرصت را از دست نداده و لااقل از سبک وزن و سنگینقیمت هرچه داشتهاند در توبرهای بهدوش کشیدهاند و حالا آنها هم با علیامخدره، «رادیو موج کوتاه»، شب و روز به بستر میروند و برمیخیزند.
پنجم ـ جان بدر بردهها: که گروه سعادتمندی هستند که یا همتایانشان خونین کفن روی در نقاب خاک کشیدهاند، یا در بند و زندانند و اینان به دست تقدیر و باور کنید بسیاری از آنها بهخاطر دل پاک، یا اعتقاد به حقیقتی جان از معرکه بهدر بردهاند، و بهای این عمر دوباره را خوب میدانند. اینها شاید کمتر از هر گروه دیگری در قیل و قال روز گرفتارند و نزدیکتر از همه به مفهوم مسافر غریب مهاجر قرار گرفتهاند.
مجموعۀ این پنج گروه که به ذهن من رسید جمعیتی را تشکیل میدهد که ما هستیم. یعنی ایرانیان بهغربت گرفتار آمده مقیم ینگهدنیا. یک نقد واقعبینانه از اوضاع و احوال روحی این غریبان اجباری یا اختیاری میتواند راهگشای آینده، و نیز شاید پاسخگوی پرسش آقای صالح دربارۀ علل عدم موفقیت نسبی ما باشد.

by Killjoy (not verified) on Sun May 04, 2008 07:04 PM CDTYou say,
"Vancouver Iranian mosque (basate sine zani va omol bazi ham ke darand)"
So, if I understand you correctly, you are saying, those who go to a mosque are Muslims. Very simple and straightforward logic. But again, how do you know they are former Hezbolahis? Is it because they have money? Or is because they observe certain religious rituals?
Also, how do you know they are from southern Tehran and other villages in Iran and were originally poor? Have you checked their backgrounds?
You say,
"-Most North Van and West vancouver shopping center and gyms."
Yet again, what do they look like? Could you provide some photos of these bearded(for men)or veiled(for women) "former Hezbolaahis" roaming around the shopping malls in the areas you have mentioned?
Did you talk to these people who "keep a low profile" to find out about their backgrounds? How did you arrive at your conclusions?
Isn't this another rumor spread by SOME Iranians, for whatever reasons!
I repeat myself, I spent several months in Canada, mostly Vancouver, recently, and I didn't even once run into a veiled Iranian woman or a bearded Iranian guy.
Now, questions remain:
Are they posing any threat to anyone's security? Are they staying in Canada illegally?
You have the following options:
1. If they are posing any threat to the security of Canada, you could contact the proper authorities to deal with the threat. Canadian authorities would love to get their hands on any information related to any kind of criminals.
2. Start your own group of vigilantes and run all the "Taazeh Beh Dowraan Raseedeh haa" out of Canada.
3. Try to learn to live with the very simple fact that in a democracy people live under the law and are protected by it.
Kamangir,
One last reaction to your absurd ending:
I despise those who lie and spread false rumors. They make me sick!

by AnonymousX (not verified) on Sun May 04, 2008 09:25 AM CDTKamangir, your just don't get it, do you? Killjoy and many others ARE among those hezbollahis to begin with. They know better than YOU where those tooleh akhoond/ tooleh bazaris are.
To: Killjoy
by Kamangir on Sun May 04, 2008 01:10 AM CDTDo not try to confuse anyone. There're are many hard working and decent Iranians living here in Canada and elsewhere. However; there's this other group of 'rich ex-hezbolahis' (new word for taze be doran reside, as you had requested, earlier)
Do you want addresses? Here they are:
- Vancouver Iranian mosque (basate sine zani va omol bazi ham ke darand)
-West Vancouver (close to Ambelside)
-Most North Van and West vancouver shopping center and gyms.
I have no problem with others having more money than I do but I do have a problem with the thieves and ex-hezbolahi bache akhoonds that have sold my country up the river, to come here and stablish themselves. Bringing millions of dollars here directly from Iran ( decent and hard working people?) who's fooling who?
Hala chera jenabaali be ghompozeshoon bar khorde? Are you an ex-hezbolahi thieve? if not, you shouln't be bothered by what I say.

Recently, I spent several months in Canada and contrary to your claim, I didn't run into any such individuals.
Where do these individuals live--I want addresses-- and what do they look like? Are they differen from other Iranians? Are they in disguise, like their men shaving off their beards and their women wearing short skirts or low-rise, tight jeans? How can you tell they are former Hezbolaahis? I AM CURIOUS!
Also, your cliche about "taazeh beh dowraan raseedeh haa is getting old! Think of something better!
Most people who move or migrate to a new cultural environment are "taazeh beh dowran raseedeh." Sometimes, it is very obvious they are new to the place and sometimes it is not. It all depends on how they react to the things they see for the first time.
Are you upset that some Iranians have money and can afford what is best for them? Why should it bother you to see other Iranians enjoy their hard-earned money?
Before going to Canada I had heard all kinds of rumors about Hezbolaahis having overrun North Van and other areas of Vancouver.
Isn't it unfair to say such things about Canada's immigration laws? Shall we call this Hajiaaghaa Syndrome?"
How the hell did you yourself get into Canada?
I tell you this, Kamangir, for whatever reasons, Canada is one of the very few countries in the world where many people are not taken aback when you declare to non-Iranians where you are from.

by hazratee on Sat May 03, 2008 08:07 PM CDTDon't you see the same khars with different paaloons? No
room to complain. 30 years ago they said the same thing about Taghooti farari.
They stole millions and stashed in American, Canadian and European banks. Same
old shit is happening now.

Nothing compared to Canada!
by Kamangir on Sat May 03, 2008 03:40 AM CDTWell, you have to live here in Canada, specially in Vancouver to really undestand what I mean. Although, here too, there're several Iranian social classes present, the one that calls ones attention are the: Tazeh be doran residegane hezbolahi. This group of people are really different than the rest of Iranians, physically and culturally. Their origins is to be found in the most deprived and poor regions of Southern Tehran as well as small villages across Iran. They have acquired huge wealth and have invested in Dubai and Canada. Canada remains their main destination for the fact Canadian immigration laws are very favourble to them. They do not feel very safe in Iran bearing in mind the chances of a regime change, hence their presence here, just in case.
In no other Western nation or city tehre's a such a high concentration of this group and their sub-culture. They do not and cannot mix with other Iranians and usually keep a low profile.
These, bache seyed, toole akhoonds are the same who first used to arabic word of 'mostazafin' describing themselves as victims of the 'taghooti' (another ugly arabic word) and yet here, they drive the latest models of BMW and Mercedes as well as having very expensive properties in the best areas of this country.
Revolution my ass!
