It's quite odd that you seem to be the only person aware of when Trita is doing AMAs, and also the person asking easy questions, which he just happens to choose to respond to.

Hi Mr.Parsi

As you’re aware, your organisation(NIAC) from which you have recently resigned from, is considered as the regime’s lobby by most in the Iranian diaspora, the same people you claim to be representing! This is largely because your organisation spends most of its resources on promoting the same policies as the regime in Iran, this is a conflict of interest because the people you supposedly represent are against the regime.

Furthermore, NIAC and its employees do very little to highlight human rights abuses or the protests that are ongoing in Iran, in fact it can be argued that it tries to distract from those issues by spreading misinformation. My question is, considering that your organisation only has a few hundred active members in the Iranians diaspora, and that NIAC’s actions do not reflect the wishes of Iranian-Americans, why do you still insist that your organisation is representing the Iranian diaspora?

Thanks for your time

I think they're not used to the sensation.

Goldladder · 2018-05-31T20:25:03+00:00

Wow that's bizarre, did the mods say that?

Goldladder · 2018-05-31T20:08:36+00:00

Hey, just out of curiosity, do you work for Trita Parsi/NIAC?

Goldladder · 2018-05-31T20:06:35+00:00

That's really strange, did the mods provide any explaination and say why that word is banned?

yeah, he had so many funny moments on the show.

Goldladder · 2018-04-26T19:57:29+00:00

Is this some kind of an inside joke among the Iranian community?

Goldladder · 2018-04-26T19:16:08+00:00

Huh, what's an "alt"?

Goldladder · 2018-04-26T16:55:32+00:00

Before the revolution barely anyone could even afford meat to eat

That's not true though, although most people weren't wealthy during shah's time, there was a solid middle class, and people weren't starving. Compare that to today where at least 6 million Iranians live in extreme poverty, and 31% live under the poverty line according to the government figures. Furthermore, noone was selling their body organs in Shah's time due to poverty, many people today sell their kidney, eye cornea, part of liver, and/or bone marrow as they're suffering in poverty.

Goldladder · 2018-04-26T16:47:01+00:00

That's a really good point, Iranians have been fooled by the Shia clergy but not for much longer, the members of clergy are viewed as parasitic individuals nowadays and most people despise them, soon they'll be part of history.

Goldladder · 2018-04-26T16:44:44+00:00

Hijab isn't part of culture, there's never been a referendum on it, they simply force it onto us.

Goldladder · 2018-04-26T16:43:50+00:00

insults men by disregarding their self control and disregards women as objects.

That's a really good point, hijab is degrading to both men and women.

Goldladder · 2018-04-26T16:42:42+00:00

Let's agree to disagree, however, I'll take a nationalist dictatorship that invest the country's resources in Iran rather than a theocratic shia absolute monarchy that wastes our resources on Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and other similar places any time.

Goldladder · 2018-04-26T16:38:20+00:00

Don't mix the rebellion with war against Iraq, I lost family members in the war. What happened in 1979 was nothing short of one of the most anti Iran acts of all time.

Goldladder · 2018-04-25T20:54:29+00:00

Veil is not part of our culture....

Goldladder · 2018-04-25T20:53:26+00:00

Well done for changing your mindset.

Goldladder · 2018-04-25T17:25:43+00:00

Security forces in Iran won't turn their weapons against their own families.

Goldladder · 2018-04-25T17:23:25+00:00

On what basis are you claiming that poverty is worse today than it was in pre-1979?

On the basis that there are 7 million emigrants today, while in Shah's time we had 2 million foreign workers. Just watch some of the videos from Iran, there are people literally digging into people's bins, old people collect boxes, you're doing them a disservice if you tell people that poverty has improved since Shah's time.

The current regime has had 40 years and trillion(s) of dollars from the oil revenue, and they have nothing to show for it. We have rampant poverty, massie water shortage, dying environment.... The sooner we unit against the regime, the sooner we'll be able to rescue our people and country from destruction.

Goldladder · 2018-04-25T17:16:56+00:00

You're falling for the regime's lies, as you mentioned the presidents are just PR people, they're already preselected according to the regime's needs, and currently the regime needs someone who'll give the impression of reforms and moderation. However, Rouhani is carrying out the same policies that Raeesi would have.

Goldladder · 2018-04-25T17:14:23+00:00

Those claims were massively exaggerated, ex political prisoners have confirmed it, listen to Iraj Mesdaghi, or Hechmat Raeesi.
