I had prepared this post for yesterday but when I brought it up in a conversation with a friend, he insisted I should not publish it. Some of us eyeranians have this weird concept of Aberoo or honor of our outside persona we try to protect so dearly at at any cost. If we have family problems, our friends are usually the last to find out and if anyone close to us creates an embarrassment, we'd rather die than to make it public knowledge.
The same sometimes applies to our politics and some of us try really hard to hide our dishonor, be it a weird figure or movement or even public viewpoint. Well, I disagree and believe that the only way to get rid of some of those same backward people or beliefs is to expose them fully to the outside world, as in this way they rapidly lose their luster and the ugly truth will become more visible.
So is the case with the current master of such political/social embarrassments; Mr. Ahura Pirooz Yazdi. Don't agonize if the name does not ring a bell, the man did not exist on anyone's political or social radar screens up to a few short months ago, if that. In short, he is a self-appointed opposition leader who is going to "free Iran" on October 1st, by taking a few planes full of his supporters to land in Tehran and celebrate their freedom on the streets! He is also the creator or promoter of a new/ancient faith he calls "Hakha", where everyone loves everyone else and nobody asks too many questions.
The Labyrinth tells us he has found some followers inside Iran through his 24 hour access to a satellite television organization, but who really knows?
Ebrahim Nabavi, satirist and known novelist based in Europe, recently wrote a piece about Ahura Yazdi and to make his point about the man who is supposedly our future leader, transcribed parts of one of his television speeches without adding any commentary, which I am translating for you here.
This isn't to promote or even denounce Ahura, as I think getting to know him and how he is received by our people tells us much more about ourselves than we'd ever like to admit to or are successful at learning. Here it is, with almost a day delay:

(Explanation: Guardians are between 300 to 500 people who control the world)
"...Guardians when they do it to a President, especially in Africa, he will come and - Feed or Eat (unclear word usage) - his family and then do it .... about the event in 1979 during Shah's time, the world's economy, be it in U.S. or Europe, was under control of Iran. Iran had supremacy over Suez Canal, dominance over South Africa and diamonds was Shah's, economy of Somalia was Iran's... Iran was about to reach what do they call it?... world's developed countries... Shah at this time wanted to become the Guardian's leader, the same way Tsar wanted to be the Guardian's leader and they murdered him and his entire family.. Shah had created a Club of Life and with that he wanted to expand global peace and development... and they saw he is pulling ahead and stopped it... When someone is getting out of his own territory, meaning his own boundary, meaning his area, the Guardians wont allow it.
...I know the Guardians... All Guardians are Hakha... They are all Hakha followers...of course with the exception of four or five, who are pirates... and I saw those, they were pirates... they have some evil blood...
Americans are soldiers of the Guardians, for example they transfer their troops and free Tahiti, but don't know themselves why they have attacked, because the Guardians won't tell them, because they come and go once every four years.. last week the Guardians called Liberia's President and told him to leave and he left... nobody knows what the Guardians are planning, because their plans are for 25 years plus.
I used to work with the Guardians in my youth... Guardians don't hire staff, they search the world and select particular people.. like Mr. Bill Gates... they were after him for a while, he wasn't aware so he had denied them, until something happened to him... they once invited him to an event in Belgium, as he was about to enter this gathering they smashed a cream pie in his face and told him later that the pie could've been something else, so what did he do? after 4-5 years he accepted and wrote a $72B check to help the Africans... Guardians have no staff... they find successful people from childhood and follow them... all over the world, when people become really wealthy, they no longer chase the money and go towards Hakha or protection of animals as a result... I personally had my differences with Guardians over the 1979 affair as I disagreed with them about ending the 2500 year old monarchy in Iran... but of course there is no way they'd harm someone who has had a 25 year old history with them...like Pinochet who is under their protection in Argentina...
Guardian's reaction to everyone, always depends on the person who is assigned the task... for example, they kidnapped Onassis' child, he passed out and then died. They kidnapped Rockefeller's child, he passed out and then died. They kidnapped our prince (or princess) too, which nobody knows about... But they kidnapped Margaret Thatcher's child in front of cameras, however she went ahead and did her duties, so they released the kid.
... For example, during Reagan's time, the person assigned by the Guardians shoots in a way so people will not die... it all depends on who is carrying the assignment... for example, you'd find fifty people who had Cream Pie on their face in Europe during the 90's... the agent responsible was a different one..."
Posted by Pedram at September 23, 2004 12:24 AMoh things drugs could do to your brain! becareful everyone... I feel bad for the guy.
Posted by: Foad at September 23, 2004 12:54 AMIf this phenomenon is the result of using drugs, I think the whole nation is under the influence of the same drug.
It is true that just a small number of people have believed what he says, but the fact that he EXISTS as a political figure says something about the Iranian culture. You don't see such a phenomenon in Chile, Burma, Vietnam, or Ivory Coast. The only place in the world that such a caricature of a 'savior' can appear in the political scene is our great country, Iran. After all 'we' are the ones who invented the concept of "savior" for the world. (what a shame,... the world could be a better place without it.)
Posted by: The Other at September 23, 2004 07:56 AMPedram, if I had a say I would have asked you to avoid publishing this article, just like your friend did. Not because of the notion of aberoo or anything like that. Only because you and some other blogers are giving this fellow some unnecessary publicity. So, a stupid man is saying dumb things. That happens everywhere. There are so many wierd cults right here in the US. What is the point in giving this man publicity? As if his craze is worth debating by mature people.
Posted by: Jafar at September 23, 2004 10:40 AMI disagree Jafar. There was once a crazy man in Paris who said many crazy things (remember free water an hydro, delivery of monthly checks from oil revenue, freedom for even communists, no mandatory dress-code for women, etc?) and I wish more people had documented his speeches, both stupid ones along with the ones he made promises at he'd never keep. This guy obviously has backing from somewhere, as none of us has such access to 24 hour TV programming or the other publicity he gets. We need to expose him at every chance, so he is known for what he actually is. Just go on Google and seach his name to see how many American sites and blogs have material about him as they must be wondering too if this guy is for real.

Posted by: Guardian Pirate at September 23, 2004 04:58 PMOne look at his picture and you can tell that he's a Opium junkie
Posted by: Maman Bozorg at September 23, 2004 07:42 PMI agree with Irooni. Cockroaches run when thelight is shun upon them. Let's shine them lights and see these guys run!
Posted by: Nima at September 24, 2004 09:30 AMif all the opposition of the mullah regime in iran go to one place on one day at one time the the mullahs regime is over...
so it doesnt matter if its yazdi or anyone else who encourages it
Posted by: navid at September 24, 2004 11:13 AMWhat makes anyone believe that 'all the Mullah's opposition' would be insane enough to charter a few planes and follow a madman into Mehrabad airport en mass? I'm with Nima and Irooni.
Posted by: Nasser at September 24, 2004 11:29 AMehem...sorry to intrude, but how exactly is the ravings of this lunatic different from the writer of these posts when it comes to "world policy"?
Just replace this guy's "guardians" with Israelis/Zionists/Neocons and you have an average post in the "eyeranian"
LOL!
...see the needle in your eyes...
Posted by: An Iranian Student (AIS) at September 24, 2004 12:05 PMRobert M. Hutchins said: "Education is not to reform students or amuse them or to make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight, if possible."
Based on that, our "student" could certainly use plenty more education.
Ha ha... cream pies... that's funny.
So, I'm confused... who relly runs the world? The Illuminati, The Guardians or the The Raelians?
Posted by: Morgan at September 24, 2004 02:22 PMDear Eyerianin. You have got the point wrong, very wrong indeed. .Hakha does not exist in political scene of Iran or any political scene whatsoever. There are so many crazy people all around the world. They talk 24hourse 7 days a week by themselves. they plan they attack, they kill, they destroy, they punch the concrete wall and once they feel the pain and see bleeding, make peace and do it over and over again. Some happen to make a cash withdraw of their entire life savings and burn it and watch the burning of the money. (one case was last year in United states). However, there are always, people who have time to watch them, so they feel they have got the attention, Nabavi did exactly that and I wrote a friendly letter to him reminding him how wrong he was in doing so. And you have done the same thing, per haps in smaller scale. Hakha exists because of me, you and Nabavi. It is indeed a shame and I truly feel ashamed even if 20 people exist to call him on his show, even if it is for making fun of him.

Posted by: corrosion at September 26, 2004 03:27 PMDear friends,
I have to admit, it’s been interesting reading about all this without much background knowledge of Dr. Yazdi and this so called "movement". I am an Iranian living in US but somewhat disconnected from Iranian community here and in Iran. Although just like any other Iranian I hope for a free democratic Iran but this new movement reminds me the march of the Mujahedeen to Iran in mid 80's at the end of Iran and Iraq war which ended up murdering and jailing almost all of them and even some of their relatives.
Now don’t get me wrong, this is a different concept and maybe a peaceful one. But having some knowledge (just like most of you) about the powerful mullahs and their greed for power and the fact that majority of Iran's population close their eyes and follow these people, it will be difficult, not impossible, to run these mullahs out of the stage without a fight. Unfortunately they (Mullahs) have always taken advantage of Iranian people's religious beliefs and manipulated them through out the years in the name of religion and God. Now when I say majority of Iranians I am not talking about many educated and secularist in Tehran and some other big cities and of course the exile and immigrant community outside of Iran, I am referring to majority (in Numbers) who are mainly rural and small town and mainly with lower educated population whom are often underestimated when it comes to supporting the Mullahs regime and as we all have seen through out the years have been the winning tool for all these elections and campaigns that Mullahs and their parties have put up. I see this to be the biggest obstacle for any secular movement to succeed in Iran. I know lot of us want to see change in Iran but understanding why we are where are may help the fact that what will be the best approach to achieve the goal of establishing democracy in Iran.
Iran’s regime is extremely sophisticated and powerful government with strong ties with other powerful countries, contrary to popular belief. They know tricky, fox smart and ruthless and have no merci for their opposition and will do whatever in their power to keep the power. The movement need to start from inside of the Iran and should include education as its main tool.
I will eagerly follow the October 1st deadline and this board.
Regards to all of you,
Hamid
Oct. 1 is not far!
Posted by: s_trangedays at September 27, 2004 08:59 AMPedram, thanks for posting this transcript. It is obvious that this man's words are illogical and his thoughts don't connect. He may be patriotic but he is definitely out of touch with reality. Unfortunately, some vulnerable/gullible people in Iran are listening to his words and have apparently gone to the streets!! I have written more about this on my blog. Check it out if you get a chance.
Posted by: Ehsan at September 27, 2004 12:38 PMIt is interesting that how we Iranians like to have saviors. This person did not exist three months ago. In short three months he seems to be able to unite many people to come out and demonstrate against a regime that brutally has been ruling for 25 years. Kink of remind you of a simple old man with no dreams of politics who wanted to be our religious leader and go quietly to city of Qume... I have been searching for Dr Yazdi’s information on the web and there is nothing out there. For sake of Iran and freedom I hope he can do what he says he can do, but…..
Time will tell there is only three days left to October 1st. I just hope he does not get bunch of innocent people killed on his way to 15 minutes of fame.
This smells like "October Surprise"! What do you guys think?
Posted by: Hamid Reza at September 27, 2004 05:47 PMThe weirder things have happened in the global or Iranian political scenes. So, even this phenomenon seems as a nonstarter, you can't totally rule out the possibility of its success! Once again, the weirder things have happened!
Posted by: Assigned Reader at September 27, 2004 08:34 PMI smell the new Smart & Bunker Buster bombs Israel has acquired from The US blasting away on the nuclear facilities. Then the Americans step in for back up.
While America's brand spanking new weapon the F-22 Raptor will be put to test on Iranian soil as the Americans will have to go against the only country that has the deadliest multi-role aircraft the Iranian F-14D and only a superior plane like that can take’em out.
That's when Mr.Ahura is scheduled to be in Tehran.Exactly when he arrives at Mehrabad airport the Government is too busy saving their own asses and the public have a reason to RISE UP from their 25 year old ashes.Only Than you have a million or over in the streets.
So there it is "a Coalition of Willing, then the entire country be Chilling ".
At first when I heard about Ahura Yazdi, I thought of him as an idiot. But now I am begining to like him, and I would even try to help him anyway I can.
Iranians are fed-up with corruption; they are fed-up with crooks, they are fed-up with political cults, MKO, Reformist, Khatami, Mullahs, Reza Pahlavi, all the so-called intellectuals who only write articles and hope for americans to change Iran... Iranians will listen to a simple man, with a simple plan. They are thirsty for an honest person who for once will show bravery and goodwill to overcome Evil. Ahura is a symbole of this thirst.
I don't believe in God, but for those of you who do, mayGod protect him, and long live Ahura.
Now go to your weblogs and call him an idiot, call him a moron who can to speak, but don't forget that you people at most can write and riddicule a man who tries to do something... you may consider yourself an intellectual, and Ahura a moron, but the older I grow, the more doubt I have on wisdom of intellectuals... who are our intellectuals? bunch of idiots like Ali Shariati, Jalal Al Ahmad, Shirin Ebadi, Ayatolah Khomeini, Abdolkarim Soroosh, Mehdi Bazargan, Kianoori, Jazani, Hanif Nejad, .... you really thing these morons were intellectuals?

Posted by: Mehdi at September 29, 2004 07:54 AMOne person was killed and 18 injured in clashes in Iran linked to the collapse of an Islamic loan fund, Iranian state TV reports.
Israel will consider "all options" to prevent Iran from producing nuclear weapons, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said in an interview published Wednesday, marking the latest in a series of Israeli threats against Iran's nuclear program.
Bush says all options are on the table for Iran!
2 days Ago
Ahura also says if the akhoonds don't leave by the time his Plane is landing in Tehran all options are on the table as well,last week
and three hours ago Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz of Israel said that the options on table for Israel is about to be looked into within the next 24 hours. Associated Press reports.

I just found out that a giant fleet of american aircraft carriers have taken position in persian gulf and two are blocking the interior and the exterior of Tangeye-Hormoz water way. The 25th Armada division of the Navy based in San diego is one of the most elite divisions in the western US like top guns of the sea and are positioned in an OFFENSIVE MODE in the Indian ocean 150 miles south of Balouchestan.
There are also reports that the borders of the Iranian Air Space has been blocked for any possible insurgency by Air to outside of Iran.

CIA Completed plans for Attacking Iran, Sharon Could Strike First !
Is a U.S.-led war against Iran in the works?
Jonathan Steele,writing in 'The Friday's issue of the Guardian' ,
points to a number of 'uncomfortable similarities' between current
American pressure on Iran and the build up to the Iraq war.
Demands for International inspectors to scan Iran's sites for hidden programs, coupled with a deadline for the Islamic Republic to declare
all its nuclear programs by the end of October are enough to cause
worry. The threat of punitive action completes the picture.
The priority in Washington and London remains dealing with proliferation,
and the focus is not on North Korea, but Iran. With Israel as an enforcer
in the region.
The campaign may even have moved beyond verbal pressure. Citing a
report in L.A Times,the writer says that CIA has already developed
a 'contigency plan for air and missile strike on Iranian nuclear installations'
and communicated to some U.S. allies. which in whole explains the O'Reilly
Factor's interview with president Bush stating: 'All options are on the table' when asked by Bill O'Reilly would you consider military action against Iran?
According to Steele, Ariel Sharon and his'neo conservative freinds in Washington' are behind much of the pressure,using the'Coalition for
Democracy in Iran' as a front for their campaign. Mean while sharon
hints that Israel might bomb Iran's nuclear sites.So the plan may take
motion before Tehran's October deadline.

What happened to Hakha?
Posted by: Hamid Reza at September 30, 2004 10:41 AMI think he made a movie out of all of us.
Posted by: Foad at September 30, 2004 10:46 AMDidn't Kohmeni try to pull the same trick?
It might work again.
Did you read about the nuclear bomb the mullahs are going to set off and then blame on the Great and Little Satans? Yazdi says this.
I am an ordinary American with some Iranian friends and I do not know what to make of him.
I'm told he got quite a few people into the streets of Iran last Sunday(26Sept04)with his TV show.
Oct 1 will tell the tale. True or false.
This is all coming together, Kerry beat Bush in deabte tonight and tomorrow a Bush military show down will wash all Kerry's hope and flush his momentum down to toilet! havent we seen this before? Republicans are the best at it, just think about a little war arounf Iran with Isreal and US involved, what would it do to the presidential campaign, here we go a big possibilty of October Surprise. Just lets hope that Iranian people are safe in middle of all this.
HEY GUYS this was posted in Washington Times.
