Maybe this is the reason to invade Iran? To gain access to this beautiful spots?

I must ask why you thought this is required viewing for Americans? All the things necessary for war are already in place, they have been planned years in advance, and won't be changed at this late stage. It's just a matter of time before the Iranian economy fails to a level where the attack can happen. The Americans have no power to change this path... the power driving this path of destruction is far removed from simple government level and they wouldn't be foolish enough to put all their eggs in one basket. Besides, how on earth can a few pictures of land and buildings awaken the sleepers? For years we have seen youtube videos and pictures of maimed Iraqi and Afgan children, did this change the course of the wars and occupation in the middle east?

This one is a short and very 'bloody' war. Perhaps one day, if we are able, we will observe and realise this exact moment had played out many times before on that same strip of land, cycle after cycle. Some evidence is not as easy to erase from the land as civilizations.

It's a strange world, but due to the recent posts on his (Jordan Maxwell) bad fortune, I have revisited the PC - Jordan Maxwell interview. The first time I watched it I laughed at the fact he stated that there was no chance to undo the control system and that his negative attitude was way over the top. I thought I knew better. It seems that he was right and the control is absolute or at least past the rubicon point. Does this need to play through for us all to learn a mass lesson and catapult us into a new age? (a true new age).

... just some stuff and waffle to muse over, I feel a need to offload sometimes and the message of this thread seemed to be avoiding the obvious. Peace is still a light at the end of the tunnel... next time it may not be a train coming.

Bread, circuses and photos.

Go to youtube, and search, Persian Cuisine, and you will find another great surprise. Also search Iranian Traffic, and you will get a lesson in calm, patience, without which, you would never survive their traffic. India Traffic, is another lesson in patience. ccc.

The World Bank, is the only reason we have wars... period. They use war... to increase their profits. Nothing more.

We need to abolish, the Federal Researve Act, of 1913, and kick the world bank, out of our country. period. end of all war.

All the Iranians I have ever met have been wonderful, intelligent, sensitive people.

I kinda feel insulted that I should be required to watch this. I am an American, I have been all over the world, I know there is beauty all over this earth. I am not going to go destroy or take over Iran. I am also sure I am not the only American that would not like to be included in a blanket stereotypical statement. Maybe you should say All Government officials and Allies of America that are going to try to start a war with Iran should check out the link.

Thank you Carmen, that was incredible. What a way to wake up from a nap. :)

Point taken Nurgle.

Yeah...The mainstream media brainwashes people into thinking that Iran is just a pile of dust, full of religious extremists and terrorists riding camels with AK-47s in their backs.

This way, people don´t feel guilty about waging a war on such a terrible country and its monstrous people, right?

People are the same everywhere. We all want the same thing, which is happiness and peace.

People just accept wars because the media tricks them to think that some people from somewhere else are different; enemies of democracy; child eaters; terrorists.

Iraq is quite a beautiful country as well...Well, at least it used to be.

It is crazy to think of us starting a war with Iran. It is a beautiful country and it's people are very friendly. I have a good Iranian friend that lives in Esfahan. He has a sign shop and is studying to become a lawyer.
He has a beautiful wife and daughter. I shudder to think that we are so unfeeling as to support such a thing as war.

Yes...I know that the forces are lining up to get this started.....but I continually hold that country and ours in loving light and pray that it will not happen.

What else can we do?

Absolutely beautiful. What a beautiful country.

When I opened this up and moved through the photos, I immediately thought, this must Iran... Not because the pictures depict how I envision Iran, but because I'm somewhat cleaver in answering these kind of "questions". But the truth is, I was surprised at the imagery, even though I intellectually knew these were likely photos of Iran. We Americans, as a general rule (I can't speak for people in other parts of the world) are in many ways no more sophisticated than, say, the people of North Korea in our understanding of the outside world. The irony is, most Americans fancy themselves so much more aware. But the flow of information is utterly controlled in such a way that we have no idea we are all under a very powerful influence of indoctrination, propaganda, and an instilled worldview.

[Mark (Star Mariner)]

Thank you for sharing these amazing pictures. What a beautiful country Iran is...

[Corncrake]

I was really pleased to see those photo's - thank you. I too have known many Iranians over the years who are lovely people (like most of us!) and, while berating their government, missed terribly their beautiful homeland. While all this awful posturing around Iran has been going on for years and, not to minimise the danger, there are many other places suffering now from the impact of war. My son has a refugee friend who was put on a plane from Afganistan by his parents in hope of a better life. He has been in foster care over here for 6 years. What a sacrifice his parents made. I know that the prospect is daunting but we need to concentrate on eradicating ALL wars from this planet.

I find the poster's comment that these photos should be required viewing for all Americans to be insulting. I'm very much aware that Iran is an extremely beautiful country with a rich history that predates that of Ancient Greece. Also, when I think of Iran I do not think of Saudi Arabia, I'm very much aware that Iranians are not Arabs. In addition, the point of the linked blog seems to be that because Iran looks like Europe it shouldn't be attacked and because Saudi Arabia does not look like Europe it's fair game. This is quite clearly idiocy.

Frankly, I think the poster of this string is extremely ignorant of American culture and could use some education. Currently there are approximately 2 million Americans who clam Iranian heritage. As a group, they tend to be extremely well educated, economically successful and well integrated into American Society. I, on a personal basis, have known numerous Iranians: I've worked with Iranians; I've had friendships with Iranians; I've done business with Iranians; and I've had intimate relationships with Iranians.

Finally, we the Americans, do not get together as a group and decide who will be attacked. Nor are we able to call the Pentagon and/or White House and voice our opinions. There's a relatively small group of people who make these decisions in a very undemocratic manner. This group, I might add, is largely comprised of individuals who are not American and hold no allegiances to America. The result is that Americans, who largely come from impoverished areas where there's little to no hope of ever getting a good paying job, are shipped abroad to be killed fighting a war that they will never understand.

Iran is the remnant of the Persian Empire. Many fail to realize that this culture had as much of an impact on the development of western civilization as the Greek, Romans, and Egyptians.

About 6 years ago when I was 17, my Persian friend and I were out at 3am for nefarious reasons in northern NJ. Neither of us wanted to go home and be chewed out by our parents, so he gets the "brilliant" idea to go to his aunt and uncle's house thinking his older female cousins would let us in. He tried calling em but they didn't pick up. So he goes around the side of their house in the pitch black and taps on their window. MISTAKE.

His cousins freaked out thinking the house was being broken into. So they wake their parents, the dad grabs his gun and calls the police. Until they get there my friend's screaming outside the front door and windows in english and farsi that it was him, their nephew. They apparently couldn't hear him lol. So when the cops get there they feel safe enough to open the door and then they realize what's going on. Now I won't judge anyone for making assumptions here but based on the reputation I'm sure you can imagine how angry the typical person around here would be for the trouble and stress we caused. And this is a melting pot's melting pot, I'm pretty famaliar with different people's temperments. Any heritage, any creed, I can promise you would throw a cluster-fit and tell us to go home in no polite language.

What did they do? They invited us inside their beautiful home to the kitchen table. And at this point I've been in a lot of wealthy people's houses all over the area due to my job, hands down this was the most impressive, and in no gaudy or oppulent way. They sat down with us, asked us if we wanted food, took the time to get to know me, and then set up the guest bedroom for us. They could not have been more gracious or cordial. And they had a wedding they to wake up for in two hours!

:eek:

Obviously this is only one Persian-American family, but like I said, I know how people can be around here, but that experience alone has endeared me to them as a whole.

Fred - we just wanted to point out indiscrepancies in the media. The multitudes are force-fed untruths in the main-stream media. These are peaceful people. The mainstream-media are totally unfair to them, and are biased towards the Zionist agenda.
I totally agree with you that most of the major globally-affecting decisions are made by those who empower the governments in the controlled empires (USA/UK/Europe/Australia) and those kicking and screaming but being dragged in by the banksters, leaving only the few behind. Those few? Those who will not give in? Libya has just gone, Cuba won't be long, North Korea???? The fighters ie Chavez in Venezuela - targeted individuals - his election process is now being jeopardised by USA interests.I find this world has absolutely NO democracy - unless we all opt OUT. What a terribly sad state of affairs.

Good points all around. Inferred as such, yes, I can see how one might be insulted. Certainly this shouldn't be required viewing for all Americans. However, I think the OP is suggesting the apathy of the American people, generally, is the cornerstone of ignorance, which ultimately, is the enabler of the undemocratic policies that you rightly describe. I see this as manufactured perception by Madison Avenue. I don't think the point is that Iran shouldn't be attacked because they are in fact European-like (which certainly would be insulting), but rather, that the masses in America are indifferent about the imperialist policies waged against Iran, largely because they are ignorant of Eurasia to begin with, not to mention ignorant of the fascist powers that have hijacked their so-called representative government.
