On odd news from rhode island courts
Last night I got news on how the rhode island supreme court ruled regarding the treatment I was subjected to while in state custody.
The good news was they sided with me and my doctors from Yale-NH Medical in overturning the RI district court's order forcing me to treatment, as there was no need for that treatment in the first place.The bad news is that the refused to sanction or punish those doctors and staff who caused me health problems which I had to seek treatment for, despite the fact that many of those staff recently lost their jobs.
This is typical of the half justice to expect in america, especially rhode island.

New Supercarriers for China and america
Recently China has completed a new Supercarrier, the Fujian 18, which can be seen below in Shanghai
The Fujian is more operational than people realize and may deploy within months. Around the same time the Chinese completed the new CG Lhasa 102
At this rate the Chinese will be able to overwhelm other nations not only in quantity but soon quality judging by these new Warships.
By contrast the US navy has had trouble getting their new Supercarrier, the USS John F Kennedy CVN-79 fully operational
Notice CVN-79 near the new USS Gerald R Ford CVN-78, which has been having similar mechanical problems.
An interesting perspective on the two most powerful Navies in the World.

On crooked pig with occupy connection
Eleven years ago today I was arrested at occupy providence, and among the charges that were dismissed was assault on an officer. Later on that pig, ivan tavares of 11 bowdoin st providence, robbed me during an arrest of a valuable item from Austria
Interestingly this pig lives where many of the occupy bums and punks hang out, which makes one wonder about occupy, especially occupy providence, being critical of government.

Has the Iranian community wasted it’s time in academia
The
death of John Tirman at mit should be a wake up call to the Iranian community’s
presence in the academic community, for they lost a good friend who was hen
pecked by influential critics in the academic institution he taught at. Tirman attempted to create a space at mit
where members of the Iranian community could interact on important issues,
however many Iranians and their allies were harassed at mit by staff who used
the campus pigs to ban those they disagreed with, while the administration at
mit openly encouraged Iranians who are associates of the terrorist rajavi,
including many with access to nuclear materials on campus. Such an incident must make us Iranians
consider our presence on college campuses.
Iranian studies first gained traction
at harvard with richard frye, who founded what is now the center for Middle
East studies at harvard, though he had a checkered past. My father’s uncle served with frye in Khalj
in OSS, however my father’s uncle knew little of his Iranian heritage having
grown up around Slavs and jews who told him Iran was simply a land of fairy
tales, and frye made no attempt to help him reconnect with his Iranian heritage
during their service together. While
frye’s department became a repository of knowledge and information about Iran
it was not publicly accessible. Instead
it was accessible only to harvard staff like mottadeh and their approved
associates, doing the public little good.
And to add insult to injury one of frye’s relatives works at fort
devens, where he has deprived those of Iranian heritage held there of their
basic human rights. In other words,
frye’s work on Iran was little or no benefit to the Iranian community overall,
so it should be no surprise that frye’s request to be buried in Iran in 2014
was denied.
It should be noted that as a result of
frye’s actions many Iranians were welcomed on Harvard campus for research and
events, though access was and is mostly private, and many of frye’s associates
began copying this model at other Boston Metro area campuses. As a result academic access for Iranians soon
morphed into community events on campuses, thus turning universities and
colleges into de facto community centers for Iranians in the Boston Metro area,
which since 9/11 and occupy have made Iranians visiting those campuses the
targets of bigoted staff who use campus security in a praetorian guard manner
to menace Iranians on those campuses, a model which came into prominence at
brown university.
At brown university Iranian affairs
gained prominence when Iranian born Vartan Gregorian became that university’s
President. Though known for putting
brown on the map by reforming it, his focus on Iranian affairs simply made
Iranians and their supporters targets for the ire of bigoted staff in the long
run. While Iran experts like Beeman and
Biersteker, both of whom I had the opportunity to work with, gained prominence
thanks to Vartan, his successes gave a false sense of security to Iranians
invited to campus, which is alarming due to the small Iranian population in
rhode island where brown is located.
Once he left Vartan’s work gradually became undone and after 9/11 the
new president of brown used that incident to crack down on Iranians and their
campus patrons, shunting people like Beeman and Biersteker into positions on
other campuses and using the campus security to ban and harass Iranians who had
once been welcome. That behavior had got
so bad that in 2008 Vartan resigned from the board of brown’s watson institute
because of his disgust at this behavior by brown that he did not want himself
associated with the actions of his successors.
That year brown also reorganized it’s Middle east Studies Department,
which hosted access for the public including the few local Iranians, into the
center for Middle east studies, which is closed to the public and is more ivory
tower elitist than frye’s offshoots.
Partly as a result when Vartan died shortly after his birthday in April
2021 there was little notice from the Iranian and Academic communities, even
the pahlavi’s were silent on Vartan’s death despite the fact he had taught
Princess Leila, the youngest daughter of Mohammed Reza Shah and farah diba,
before Leila was hazed off campus in 1990.
The only other campus where Iranian
studies gained traction was at columbia university. There, shortly after frye began his work at
harvard, eshan yarshater, and Iranian of jewish heritage, founded columbia’s
center for Iranian studies, now better known for it’s Iranica project. However, that institution was even more
elitist than frye’s creation and was of little benefit to the Iranian community
which came into the New York City Metro area as a trickle before the 1970’s, as
it was not public accessible. An
excellent example was my paternal grandfather and his siblings, who grew up
around Slavs and jews in the New York City Metro area who although he and his
siblings knew they were of ethnic Iranian origin, thought because of those Slavs
and jews they grew up around that Iran was some fairy tale land, and as a
result spoke almost no Farsi and were cut off from the greater Iranian
community. Unlike harvard, brown, and
their offshoots, columbia hosted very few community events, and the only New
York City academic institution with any public access for Iranians was New York
University, however NYU’s kevorkian center, founded in the 1960’s, was managed
in such an elitist manner it was not until after 9/11 that it gained public
traction for Iranians. Even then, that
public traction was decades late for Iranians like my father and his blood
relatives, who remain on the fringe of the greater Iranian community because of
the lack of community resources in the New York City area as do most Iranians
who came to america before the islamic revolution. Like harvard and brown, columbia drew people
hostile towards Iran, even some while claiming to be neutral, such as gary
sick, who repeats dated information about Iran without major interaction with
those influencing Iranian affairs at present.
Throughout american, and some
Worldwide, academic campuses, the same pattern emerges; some altruistic faculty
member takes an interest in Iranian affairs, invites Iranians to campus for
research purposes, Iranians made to feel comfortable and bring their associates,
increased presence on campus makes Iranians a target for detractors, some
targeted by campus/community security groups for harassment, creates friction
between Iranians and the community. The
sad part is that many Iranians throughout america do not seek out alternatives
to community events held on college campuses, like the skittish retards in the Boston
metro area, fucked up ingrates in the New York City metro area, and
marginalized fuckwits in rhode island and New England.
Other american campuses offer mixed,
but similar experiences. At yale and princeton
the Iranians tend to be New York castoffs and are marginalized to the point
where they have little community impact.
The university of Chicago has trained some fine Iran scholars yet
Chicago itself is not very welcoming to Iranians. Dartmouth at least avoids large scale
interactions in order not to provoke any confrontations, like most academic
institutions throughout america and the World operate. Campuses like georgetown and duke act as a repository
for Iranian academic castoffs like trita parsi and ali vaez from other academic
institutions, while the Iranian communities in texas and florida, which are
sizeable, have a minimal presence on campus and are barely noticed in the
community. While California has a
sizeable population of Iranians, mainly in the Los Angeles metro area and San
Francisco Bay area they repeat the same formula of regularly hosting community
events on campuses like stanford and ucla, the latter though a public campus is
fraught with the same dangers as other campuses, more so because public access
leads to greater feelings of community making any incidents on public campuses
all the more painful. Iranian academic
organizations off campus tend to be just as scatterbrained and out of touch, as
the Association for Iranian Studies recently demonstrated in their statement on
the recent riots in Iran where they could not even get basic facts straight.
There are so few community resources where
Iranians can gather in any location that it is only natural they search for
familiar places, and here is where academic campuses come in. The hard fact is there are too few community
resources for Iranians in most of america, and in searching out the familiar
academic campuses become de facto community centers, where Iranians are treated
like zoo animals who think they are something special. This feeling is reinforced when Iranians
spend more time off campuses and soon realize they are not as famous or as
special as those who brought them to campus made them feel. Outside of academia most prominent professors
and Iranian luminaries are little known, and they experience a shock adjusting
to life outside of campus environments, where they are nobody special, causing
more problems for them.
Overall, it seems the Iranian presence on
campus has more harm than good for Iranians, for it makes them dependent on a
lifestyle that does not prepare them for life, especially life in the World
where they are not sheltered from harsh reality. If Iranians in america and outside Iran are
to thrive they must learn not to be dependent on others and to stand up for
themselves, especially in a World where people still think Persia is a fairy
tale land and that Zoroastrians go around carving Z’s, for all we have done is
lead whores to culture who could not think.

On my recent Iranian embassy meeting during UNGA
On September 21, 2022 I followed up with the Iranian embassy in Manhattan in regards to the e-mail I sent them and the embassy in Wahington DC in August 2022 in regards to human rights violations I received in prison from the american government for being Iranian and representing Artesh Iran.I brought with me a copy of that e-mail and a Farsi translation of the same e-mail and I was right to do so, as I learned the reason why.
The embassy staff claimed they could not understand my complaint.The bottom line is that Iranians like myself have been enduring human rights abuses in america for decades, especially since the patriot act was passed, such as Zoroastrian prayer being criminalized, and this will not be tolerated for much longer,.
If Dolat still refuses to act Artesh will, as the recent situation in Irann shows, as this kid of behavior from Dolat serves only to ruin Iran.

Good riddance liz battenberg
Minutes ago queen elizabeth the second of great britain and northern ireland, died at balmoral at the age of 96
As a Gilanshahi and an Iranian I can not offer any condolences, as the british monarch was the only reigning monarch who was at best apathetic towards the situation in Iran by backing khomeinei, and showed not only apathy towards the Royal Houses of Iran but of Ethiopia, Nepal, Greece, Egypt, Iraq, and other Royal houses around the World who were deposed or impoverished because of inaction during her reign. As a Mazendarani I can express disgust the way liz battenberg used the cause of Mazendarani independence to tease me with false hopes under the pretext of menacing Iran and the Caspian region.We only hope that her oldest son and heir Charles Phillip Arthur George will be a better monarch than liz battenberg ever was

On corruption/menace by gina raimondo
If you want an excellent example of someone who is a corrupt menace in the biden administration look no further than wopaat gina raimondo
One of the reasons america is at war with Iran is because this woprat raimondo had continued the criminilization of Iranians in rhode island prisons with the rehiring of people like matt kettle who have cotiued the criminilization of Iranian Zoroastrians in rhode island prisons, and if you want to know where the bureau of prisons got this practice look no further than gina raimondo.
In addition to making prisons a major industry in rhode island she also made poverty and panhandling major industries by mismanagement. I would love to see some of kthe panhandlers, among others the woprat has wronged, visit her at her home at 125 morris ave in providence and see what sympathy they get.
Additionally, gina raimondo has been involved in insider trading, as when she was a board member at yale university she used her position as rhode island governor to help yale acquire assets, including L&M healthcare, at relative bargains.
Overall a corrupt person with no business in government.

New Supercarrier INS Vikrant R-11 for Indian Navy
Hours ago Narendra Modi commissioned a new Supercarrier for the Indian Navy, the INS Vikrant R-11
https://www.narendramodi.in/exclusive-pictures-from-commissioning-ceremony-of-ins-vikrant-564191
You can see a satellite image I obtained of the INS Vikrant in Kochi, where it was built, the first Supercarrier built in India
This is India's second Supercarrier, the first, INS Vikramaditya being acquired from Russia, and is a major new addition to India and the region, especially India's allies like Iran which itself is working on an Aircraft Carrier.
Overall, a welcome new addition for India and the World.

On the death of John Tirman
I just learned that my old colleague from mit John Tirman has died
https://cis.mit.edu/in-memory-john-tirman
We had many interactions over the years at mit, including one you can watch at the link below from 45:00 to 46:20 to hear us speak
https://techtv.mit.edu/videos/bebbe319cd854f74a5ed4f1c0931a119/
John tried to create at mit's center for International studies a safe space where members of the Iranian community could interact on important issues. However, people at mit cis lie bruce posner made trouble for men and other Iranians. Whatever good Tirman did was negated by many of his colleagues at mit, and it is suspicious ion itself the no funeral or memorial services are planned for him, as he deserves more.

Major Chinese/Pacific Carrier deployments
Recent satellite images of Hainan show major new assets for the Chinese Navy, including the Supercarrier Shandong 17
and the Amphibious Assault Carrier Hainan 31
Note these ships are deployed with the Chinese South Sea Fleet, which is within striking distance of Taiwan with overwhelming force. While the Hainan 31 has a practical use against Taiwan, the Shandong 17 does not, only to provide overwhelming Chinese air cover. It does have a practical use against american and Japanese Carrier groups.
Excellent examples of these can be found at Yokosuka, most notably the USS Ronald Reagan CVN-76
Additionally, because of the Chinese military buildup, Japan has built it's own Carriers, starting with the JS Izumo DDH-183
The Izumo, along with it's sister ship JS Kaga DDH-184, deploys F-35 fighters. In all probability the Chinese Supercarrier deployments are not to attack Taiwan directly, but to confront american Supercarriers, which they are the equal of.
The quality of prison religious meals
When I was in federal, as well as state prisons, they would not accommodate me as a Zoroastrian. I did notice something interesting with the accommodations made for kosher and halal meals. They would serve one of four types of frozen meal from a brand called my own meals, which came with kosher and halal certification
https://www.myownmeals.com/
Notice how some of the meals include pinto beans and other types of beans, which are neither kosher or halal, including in the meals they served in prison.
The fact is many inmates will claim to be jewish or muslim simply to make the prison system spend extra money on them. Little is done about this, however some prison systems do a test of faith to make sure inmates are not lying about their religious background.
The bottom line is no matter your religious background you should know how to make due with whatever resources you have, including food. If someone says they are jewish or muslim but do not know what is kosher or halal that is suspicious in itself, and they should not be accommodated, as it wastes resources on those who need the religious accommodations and makes things harder for them.

Oddness around the sinking of the IS Khark 431
I just learned the US Naval Institute did a piece on the sinking of the IS Khark 431, Iran's Command/Logistical Support Ship, which was fragged in June 2021. This includes a satellite image claiming to be the wreck of the IS Khark 431 off Jask in an article about that incident
https://news.usni.org/2021/06/03/loss-of-iranian-navy-ship-mutes-tehrans-global-ambitions-3rd-warship-lost-since-2018#jp-carousel-86393
However, recent satellite images of Jask and the surrounding region show no evidence of any wreck
Either the US Naval Institute did a half assed job reporting the incident, which the american military tends to do regarding Iran, or the Khark has been raised.
More facebook censoring Naval images
Recently facebook has censored more Naval images on my project, this time of the Spanish Navy in Rota
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02SYyyvM4mkSbBWnTRUhQr1R3ndRPqZJNuBGqXmqrfRBfBZaXSxEjgqecHyb2jYNBkl&id=169376436408127
This includes not letting me make the new 3D image of the Spanish Aircraft Carrier SPS Juan Carlos I L-61 and the SPS Reina Sofia F-84 FFG the new album cover
This, along with images of the FFG's SPS Santa Maria F-81, SPS Navarra F-85
SPS Victoria F-82, and the Amphibious Assault Ship SPS Castilla L-52
For all we know facebook may blame this on the recent hack attack it experienced. Overall, this censorship and mismanagement needs to stop and they need to return the albums back to the pre-meta configuration.

On facebook censoring Naval images in Bahrain
Recently facebook has censored images of the Royal Navy of Bahrain I uploaded to my Worldwide Naval Image project. This includes an image of the new British acquisition RBNS Al-Zubara 80 along with the rest of Bahrain's Navy
One can also see the RBNS Sabha 90 FFG
Along with the Italian DDG ITS Federico Martinengo F-596
the British Amphibious Assault Ship RFA Lyme Bay L-3007
and the american multirole ship USNS Trenton T-EPF-5
I had the chance to visit the USNS Trenton shortly after it's commissioning when it was JHSV-5
I hope nothing sinister is afoot, but something may be in Khalj Fars.
