 <title>Khamanei’s win strategy</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/khamanei-s-win-strategy</link>
 <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Article 110, Sections 4 &amp;amp; 10 of the IRI constitution clearly states that not only the Ayatollah Khamanei &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is the Supreme &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Commander of Iran’s armed forces, but he can also dismiss Ahmadinejad at the Ayatollah’s whim at any time

 <title>The beauty/genious of the IRI Regime</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/beauty-genious-iri-regime</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
So, the Dow Jones fell down over 500 points today.  Who cares, except the middle class in the US, that have their entire life savings invested in 401K, IRA, or variable annuities?  Do you really think that over 80% of Iranians in Iran could give a hoot about the market crash?  No, Virginia, those 80% of 75 million people under IRI regime do not even know what the stock market is, let alone owning a single share.

 <title>Norway.  A message to IRI and Ayatollahs</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/norway-message-iri-and-ayatollahs-0</link>
 <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
A Muslim hating Norwegian, called Andres Behring Breivik, did not kill Muslims, in spite of his hatred of immigrants invading his country, pushing their ridiculous chador/hijab in the streets of the west, under the name of “freedom of expression”.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Instead, as a devout Christian, the bastard/mass-murderer Breivik killed 92 Norwegians – his own country-men/women/children to supposedly send a message to the rest of the world.

 <title>A Message to the Ayatollahs &amp; Ahmadi-Nejad</title>

You are not Persian.  You are all &amp;quot;as bikh Arab&amp;quot; for the following reason:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
A Persian Poet (not an Arab) ,Omar Khayam wrote:

 <title>In light of what&#039;s happening in Libya, why is Iran Government so silent?</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/light-whats-happening-libya-why-iran-government-so-silent</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;So, Saddam Hossein got 98% of the votes, but his constitution was different than IRI’s constitution, which is &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;based on Valaayateh Ghabih.  Under the IRI constitution, the Ayatollah always gets 100% of the votes -- merely because he is the &amp;quot;Rahbar&amp;quot;.&lt;/span&gt; And yet, he is the &amp;quot;Commander in Chief&amp;quot; and can fire the monkey President at will.

 <title>kAseh as Ash dAgh-tar</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/kaseh-ash-dagh-tar</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Within the context of what is happening in the Arab world for democracy, I ask the Ayatollahs in Iran and Mr. Ahmadijejad why are they doing the following:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
1- Sending a bunch of Basiji, Revolutionary Guards, Chaaghookesh and Laat ( a la Shaboon Bimokh under the Shah) to beat us, wound us, and send us to Evin Prison, if we dare to disagree with your dictatorial regime/Valaayateh Ghabih?

 <title>Japan First World vs. Iran Thirld World</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/japan-first-world-vs-iran-thirld-world</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Feeling Comfortable About IRI’s Nuclear Ventures? Hey Mr. Khamanei/Mr. Ahmadinejad: Please accept the fact that Iran is a 3rd world country in spite of all its natural resources (oil, natural gas, etc.) that either go into the Swiss bank accounts of the Pahlavis or the Swiss bank accounts of the Ayatollahs. Japan is the 1st world country and is now in shit situation with their nuclear reactors. So, is Iran with it’s 3rd world nuclear ambitions a safe place to live?

 <title>Mr. Khamanei. What Right Have You to Do This to  Persians?</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/mr-khamanei-what-right-have-you-do-persians</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;1-     Sending a bunch of Basiji, Revolutionary Guards, Chaaghookesh and Laat ( a la Shaboon Bimokh under the Shah) to beat us, wound us, and send us to Evin Prison, if we dare to disagree with your dictatorial regime/Valaayateh Ghabih?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
2-     Why should I be afraid to walk in the streets of Iran with my lady (even kissing if we feel like it) without your “Moral Police” wanting to see our marriage certificate, and totally destroying our day?

 <title>Confessions of a Grand Pa</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/confessions-grand-pa</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I am 67 years old.  My one and only child, a daughter called Sakineh, is 32 years old.  She got married in her mid 20s and now has a beautiful daughter, called Roghieh, who is 3 years old – having just started to speak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My wife had a phone call from Sakineh today.  Here is what my wife reported to me after her telephone conversation with our daughter: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/confessions-grand-pa&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>If you think Shah was bad, and the mullahs are worse, Just Wait...</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;
If you think the Shah was a self-serving autocratic bastard, and the current mullahs are worse -- a bunch of Arabic speaking Khalifehs who belong to the stone ages, not recognizing the necessity of separation of mosque and state -- then wait, the worst is coming soon

 <title>Iran, Basijis, and the Bomb</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/iran-basijis-and-bomb</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;There are 8 known nations that have ready-to-fire nukes on long-range missiles. They are the US, UK, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan and Israel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can anyone (including the IAEA) tell us why these 8 fuckers do not get rid of theirs, before insisting that the rest of the 180 nations on this planet should not have any?  What an arrogance and hypocrisy by those &amp;quot;Eight&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/iran-basijis-and-bomb&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>The Changing Concept of Family</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Not only the recent/current generation of Iranians, but the old western cultures keep on stressing the value of the “family”.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I maintain that the whole lovy-dovy concept of family is passé in the 21st century.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And guess what, that is the best news for getting rid of the smelly old traditions and the Islamic BS in Iran&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/changing-concept-family&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>McCain/Obama Debacle</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/mccain-obama-debacle</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
The real issue is whether there are two parties in this country, or do we have a single party -- The Capitalist Party -- The Republicans and Democrats being merely two wings of the same party -- The Capitalist Party.  And as Nazi Germany, the Shah’s Rastaakhiz party, and the rest of history has taught us, a single party country tends to become a fascist country.

 <title>On Capitalism, Socialism and Mines in Space</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/capitalism-socialism-and-mines-space</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;While IRI is using/abusing Iranian people’s wealth/resources (pushing for over $100 per barrel of oil) to finance its nuclear ambitions, the other 8 old-club-members have already embarked on blowing each other’s satellites – even though they call it “their own weather/spy satellites”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obviously, we are entering into a new era of cold war in space, where those who dominate the space will win the next Big War.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/capitalism-socialism-and-mines-space&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>The Dance … Two Steps Forward, One step Back</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/dance-two-steps-forward-one-step-back</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;In 2008, many of us think that things are getting worse. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In evolutionary terms (at lease as far as the human cortex development is concerned), a simple explanation can be a dance, two steps forward, one step back – each step taking a 100 years or more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As an impatient young person, one can understand the despair of those who will have to endure living between years 2000 to 2100, paying for George W Bush’s follies of 2000-2008.  Fortunately, most of us will not survive to year 2100.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/dance-two-steps-forward-one-step-back&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Che Ferchi Daashtam, Che Ferchi Shod…</title>
 <link>http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/che-ferchi-daashtam-che-ferchi-shod</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;That is the Persian way of saying:  What I thought was the “Truth” ended up being a bunch of bullshit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no question that “reality” is clearly illustrated in Richard Dawkins’ 2007 book entitled “The God Delusion”, accompanied by many other 2007 books such as Christopher Hitchens’ book entitled “God is not Great”, or Sam Harris&#039; book “the End of Faith”, and many others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you really think that within the next decades of the 21st century, anyone is going to believe in such bullshits ideas as God, Heaven and Hell?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://legacy.iranian.com/main/blog/curious-joe/che-ferchi-daashtam-che-ferchi-shod&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
