Here we go again?

Three years ago I wrote in persianmirror that if america did not attack Iran by 2007 it never would be able to. Today, as I see what is going on in the world today it appears what I wrote is coming to pass. Despite repeated denials of any perperation of an attack against Iran all the diplomatic and military warning signs are indicating that some sort off attack could be I the works.
We got a perfect demonstration of this in late December 2006-January 2007. Then, using the pretext to assist Ethiopian troops fighting Islamic militants in Somalia, america sent two carrier battle groups to the region to attack the Islamic militants in Somalia. Then as soon as they had finished their attack those two carrier battle group’s turned north to the Persian Gulf. Though they did not make any attack on Iran, their presence in the region was a reminder that the american military, though suffering losses, can still inflict damage on an opponent. Instead of making Iran more quiescent, Iran only increased it’s defenses of sensitive areas and began acquiring more weapons for it’s military. And as usual diplomatic maneuvering by both sides was conducted. This maneuvering was the same old story of america using it’s in order to persuade other nations to bash Iran and other regimes that do not kowtow to the american line. This is shown as most EU countries, rather than ignore american rantings, now choose to tow the UN line on Iran rather than to reverse the UN’s decisions which were based on american backdealing than facts. While the world, excluding the evil axis of america, britain, and israel, has no problems with Iran, as a result of american manipulations in the UN with the recent security council resolution and exaggerated horror stories about Iran every effort is being made to vilify Iran as a prelude to a possible invasion
Let us take a look at some of those rumors. The rumor that Iran is supporting terror groups in Iraq is baseless alone. People forget that Iran was forced to give up Mesopotamia in 1857, and that in 1903 Baghdad and Mesopotamia attempted to rejoin Iran. Instead of being returned to Iran in 1919 that Iranian territory was used to create Iraq as a british puppet state in the region to counter Iran. Therefore Iran has a historical connection with Iraq and has every right to press claims to it by whatever means it has. Plus america has no proof to back up it’s claims about Iran selling weapons to the Iraqi resistance, as Iranian weapons are sold on the open market, and the Iranian government has issued no orders for Iranians to assist the Iraqi resistance. Furthermore, the, Iranian government can not be held responsible for the acts if individual actions of Iranians in Iraq. As far as the claims of human rights abuses in Iran many of them are exaggerated. For instance, the petitions to stop the deaths of certain individuals often are doctored, one petition being used and the name being changed. Most often, people do not check the facts before signing those petitions, or check to find out who is funding those groups. The same goes for many so-called human rights groups, many talk about atrocities in Iran but seldom back up their allegations with hard facts.
Internationally, the nations of the world are behaving as if they are preparing for some conflict. Much of what I said in the aforementioned pm article has come to pass. In america the first batch of the new Virginia class submarines has been completed, and the uss george h w bush is nearing completion as we speak. The same goes for many foreign forces, as India’s plans to build up it’s forces proceed as I predicted. Italy has started something of an arms race as it not only has completed it’s new carrier but has not scrapped some of the warships it said it would, causing France and Spain, to increase military spending as a result. In addition britain is talking about both reducing troops in Iraq and embarking on a new arms production program. In essence, the countries of the world are preparing for some sort of conflict, the question is when and where. Iran, realizing it is a target, has already begun boosting it’s military strength, has completed it’s new frigate and even raised the Sahand and made it operational again. This in addition to the missiles it has been building and acquired from Russia, and the new Shafagh fighters Iran has developed are a clear sign that Iran is getting ready to protect it’s territory from any invader. Remember, the industrialists for the military often determine wars, and now the military industrialists of the world are going into overdrive.
The harassment Iranians recieve might seem isolated, however one must look what is going on in Iran and america to see for themselves the truth. In Iran american black op groups have been agitating Arab, Baluchi, Kurdish, and other groups to make trouble for Iran. This in addition to the abovementioned groups. In america harassment against Iranians has increased, be it through bogus charges, increased surveillance, having slurs and other derogatory comments made at them, suffering discrimination in every area of life, and other forms of humiliation as was used immediately after 1979 to vilify Iranians, and with talk of aggression against Iran it is clear the public is being taught to hate Iranians.. The only difference now is that Iranians in america are being left with few alternatives to turn to. Since the 1960’s and 1970’s many of the groups that took action against american imperialism and racism have since changed. Those groups who were willing then to risk confrontations with police, military, and government have softened and become more concern with putting money in their pocket than dealing with the system that backs up that money, ready to collaborate and label a provocateur anyone who is willing to take and action to confront the system as they did way back when. And to add insult to injury the same anti-war groups who claim to oppose the war with Iraq and demand withdrawal of american troops from Iraq fail to see the fact those troops would only be given rest time for any potential invasion of Iran, and have failed to work with Iranians in america to organize action. More distressing is to see many of the same minority groups who were all too ready to fight for their rights collaborate to violate the rights of other minorities who they should be working with. All too often and frequently you see people of those minority groups. Be they African, Latino, Hispanic, Italian, Russian, Jewish, Japanese or whatever background who do not hesitate to use slurs like dune coon, raghead, camel fucker toward Iranians, or who obtain government service positions in jobs where they are all to ready to ruin the lives of others, be it by using armed force in so-called emergency situations, beating, robbing and depriving others of their rights while hiding behind badges, or obtaining some clerical pencil pushing job where any false wording can deprive someone of their liberty, money, food, and other essentials necessary to civilized life. If anything these people should be working with the Iranian community in america. Instead, years of the american government collaborating with groups like answer and ufpj has ruined the effectiveness of any resistance to misdeeds of america’s government.
The time to act is now. Most people do not realize that history only repeats itself because it is allowed to. We have a chance to prove this right by standing up and stoping any conflict against Iran. Let us become greater than the sum of our parts and begin to do what was not done for Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia, Yugoslavia, Haiti, the Philippines, Liberia, Somalia and set an example for the rest of the world and the future.

Zendran trial; major update

This morning I appeared in Providence Municipal Court for my Trial. Atmy trial several odd things occured. First, the people called in aswitnesses were unable to attend. During the proceedings it was broughtup that my case currently in RI Superior court may involve the sameincidents. When informed of this I explained to Judge Graziano that Iwas not informed of this and that the only document I had recieved inregards to that case was the complaint charging me with an incidentwhich allegedly occured on October 3, 2006, and that I had recieved noother copies of witness statements or any other documentation in regardsto that case. Judge Graziano accepted my Motion to recieve copies ofthose documents. I also had the chance to present the documentstion inregards to the dispute over the Trust created by my Grandmother for mybenefit which I should have recieved funds from but in fact haverecieved nothing from, as well as contact info from people who hadattempted to assist me in regards to this and info regarding pasttreatment for emotional distress in 1996-8 the dispute had caused me. After reviewing the documentation Judge Graziano stated the Turst wasvalid, that I had recieved bad legal referrals, and agreed to set acontinuation until April 18, 2007, to determine the exact nature of thecharges against me to make sure I am not recieving double jeopardy as aresult. Needless to say, I will continue to fight this.

Subject: Iranians insulted at yesterday's conference


As a journalist, author, and scholar who is of Iranian descent who has
conducted research with scholars in various academic institutions in SE
New England in a private capacity, I and other Iranians presentwas
totally disgusted by the way bu conducted yesterday's conference. I am
sending this to those in authority at bu, as well as ccing and bccing
this to prominent Iranians and scholars I have worked with, so that they
may know how bu really behaves.
Some weeks ago I recieved an announcement from IABoston about this
event, being told it was open to the public. Having attended events at
bu, with minor inconveniences before, I decided to attend. When I got
there experienced an event which was poorly planned but in which bias
was shown to Iranians.
First, members of the Iranian community who were not bu faculty or
students were accosted by event staff, despite being being told that the
event was a public forum. Those who chose to attend had to put up with
intrusive questions from bu staff, and were disappointed by the way the
event was conducted, and despite there being plenty of time many
Iranians were prevented from speaking in the q&a forum, and as a result
chose to express our opinions in other ways.
To contrast this having arrived at bu some hours early I noticed some
zionist protesters were accosting eventgoers and disrupting the event
and nothing was said. Also a group called answer was disrupting the
event as well, and answer has over the past few years harassed,
intimidated, and threatened Iranians who choose to show up at their
events. If anything the donut fuckers who make up bu's security allowed
these groups to act as they wanted, yet Iranians at the event wer
eharassed by those same people, myself included. The harassment I
recieved consisted of being repeatedly questioned by bu staff as to my
identity. Once I got in and managed to get a seat I had to leave to use
the bathroom. Having waited for so long and being unable to find any
sanitary restroom facilities during my visit to bu up to that point was
giving me minor heart problems and I left to the nearest bathroom to
answer this pressing need. When I returned I was stopped by those donut
fuckers who make up bu security who claimed that my bag, which I
explained to then I had left on my chair to prevent it from being taken,
contained weapons. After showing them the only things in my backpack
were only my empty 7-11 mug and some periodicals under protest I
continued into the conference room. Out of all the people who had
brought bags to the event I was the only such person singled out.
Having attended confrences where the speakers included government
leaders and other diplomats and where the audience was allowed free
access to the speakers such measures are counterproductive. Since the
ambassador was on via telecast and nobody who merited such security was
available such actions only justify any aggressive action on the part of
any individuals and I sincerely hope some individual does attack bu for
such treatment only causes problems, not prevents them. Furthermore,
that Iranians like myself who attended just to talk to the UN
representative of a country which we someday hope to return to, were
harased by bu staff, while groups hostile to Iranians were given free
reign is insulting and unforgivable, and is the kind of prejudice to be
expeted in the south of the 1960's.
Ambassador Zarif, in the future please have the consideration to attend
any event like this in person and not be some kungoshad. To those in bu
clean up your fucking act and KIRAM TU DAHANET.

Update on Zendran court situation

This morning I appeared in providence muicipal court in regards to the
August 25 incident. When I met with the prosecutor, who turned out to
be the assistant city solicitor for providence, no plea was even
offered, they refused to acknoweledge that the dates, times, and events
mentioned in the report were inaccurate and that I was not properly
charged, and they tried to claim my spitting on washington trust bank as
I walked by was threatening and tumultous behavior. Nevertheless, the
case was rescheduled for february 14, 2007.
As I said before I will fight this case through.

Subject: Salaam/your UN event

Presidnet Ahmadinejad I congratulate you on your speech at the UN. There is something I think you should know about your UN trip. On 14/9/2006, my 28's birthday my friend William Beeman mentioned to me about your coming to the UN to speak and asked me if I was interested in going. As much as I wanted I could not go due to the following reason. I could not make it since I had to appear the day after your speach in court for a charge which is for something that was not a crime and motivated by political harassment. That harassment included a police officer in providence, rhode island, where Dr. beeman and I do most of our work, ask me if I was going to help america get you after he found out I was half-Iranian. Not only did I refuse to answer that question, which is illegal for a police officer to ask but many people in RI were outraged and the ACLU even has complained about that officer's remarks. The full details of that incident are available on my blog, which is linked below this meggage. Remember, this is the kind of government that exists in america. Also are you on myspace? There are a few pages on myspace claiming to be of you but which appear to be impersonators.

Zendran legal update

Just giving an update on the latest developments in my legal situation, things are moving real fast.
Thursday I sent out letters to Judges Rodgers, DeRobbio, and Ippolito about the report that was read at my arraignment being missing from my case file. When I went to drop off a copy of that letter to the Providence FBI office I was met with an odd response. I was told a copy of my letter would not be necessary to update my complaint, and that the FBI Civil Rights office would only investigate actively if something drastic happened or once my criminal trial was over, not considering that I have a case that has been going in federal court since October 2004 against those officers who have continued to harass me. I was told that the local authorities would be given precedence by the FBI agent, who interestingly enough was wearing a counterterrorism division shirt.
On Friday I visited the RI ACLU office and spoke with them about my case. Since I was arrested after I had stopped by to drop of my authorization for the ACLU to investigate the ACLU would allow me to add that incident to my complaint and they will investigate it.
On monday I recieved a letter from RI Superior Court at my old address which was passed on to me, informing me I have a January 3, 2007 Determination of Attorney appearance, which is on Maidyarem Ghambar and as a result I can't attend. I stopped by the Clerk's office and gave them my correct address and was told i would have to meet with the RIAG's office to have the date changed.
Today I stopped by the RIAG's office at the courthouse about having the date changed and I was told I would have to file a Motion to have the date changed.
How things will go from today remains to be seen, but I will keep things updated.

RI nwo candidates

I think I better get this out before the election is over. These are some candidates who should NOT be in any office.
Running for RI Governor, charles fogarty. This bastard and his family have pumped millions of dollars into abusive state run facilities like harmony hill where children are abused, in some cases causing lifelong damage. He has also helped ensure that social services for people in RI are ineffective wastes of money by helping only those that are selected, making a big publicity stink, and ignoring those screwed over. Has packed law enforcement agencies with personal friends to hush up dissenters and supported more oppressive prison programs. Plus a major fema supporter, partly responsible for distrubiting incorrect disaster relief info this summer and someone who has repeated the same abuses at guantanamo by ensuring more troops from RI were stationed at guantanamo and putting a spin on it to encourage popular support..
Running for RI Lt. governor, reggie centracchio. Former ranking officer in the RI national guard, this bastard is one person responsible for stationing more RI troops at guantanamo, encouraging the abuses suffered there by detainees. Another individual responsible for fema's actions in RI.
For US Senate, sheldon whitehouse. F A member of skull and bones who as RI attorney general was responsible for oppressive weapons laws which have encouraged abuses by RI law enforcement officals , unconstitutional actions, and a backlog in the RI legal system.
let us not forget that sicko who is running for mayor of providence, sissyweenie. This asshole has through his actions increased police brutality in providence, keeping providence second in incidents of police brutality in america, has encouraged corrupt businesses to move into providence, costing the losses of many jobs, and ensuring action groups are ineffective. let us not forget before getting into the mayors office he raped, and continues to rape, men for pleasure and manipulated evidence in the plunder dome trial.
Needless to say, people like that should NOT be in any elected office.

Zendran-9/11 connection

Just recently when searching for an old friend, Jim Olive, the son of my
former tutor Norton William Olive, I made a startling discovery.
Remembering that Jim had graduated from the Coast Guard Academy, and
that his parents among others had pressured me to enter the Coast Guard
Academy as well, and that he had a distinguished career in the 90's,
being last assigned to the nyc port authority in the late 90's, I did a
google search on him. What I found was shocking.
On 9/11 Jim, then a Lt. Commander in the Coast Guard, was Chief of the
Surface Forces Branch at Activities New York. This meant he was in a
command position during the 9/11 incident. What is even more
signifigant is that his father, Norton William Olive, the same man I
have quoted in articles published on David Icke's site and the Hidden
Mysteries site, is a former business partner of the Rothschild family,
personally knowing Victor and Jacob Rothschild, among others. This was
the same man who educated me about the shadow government, money and
financial manipulation, correct history, among others. I have even
saved the letters I shared with Norton William and his widow, Julia, in
which we talk about those subjects back in 1997-8. If anyone is
interested in seeing copies of those letters let me know and I will copy
and mail to whoever wishes to see them.

Update on Zendran court situation

I just paid a visit to RI Superior Court Clerk's office. It turned out
they recently recieved my case but the report that was read at my
arraignment was not included in my case file. Also the ppd is not
releasing the report to public records.
I have also spoken with the RI Attorney General's office and they are
also looking into my situation as well and taking a complaint from me as
well.

Tightening the Screws

Today as I write this it seems that american plans for launching some strike against Iran are being put into place. If anything american actions recently show that war is on it’s mind for Iran. If you doubt this consider how america’s forces are behaving recently.
In early October the new aircraft carrier uss george h w bush was launched, somewhat ahead of schedule, and plans to build the next carrier, the uss gerald r ford, are being put into place. Just two weeks before the navy also launched it’s first littoral combat ship, designed to deploy troops to shore positions faster and to handle and assess threats from foreign combatants. Already the uss dwight d Eisenhower has been ordered to deploy with it’s battle group to the Persian Gulf. This is to augment the iwo jima strike force, consisting of three amphibious attack ships and their support vessels. The Eisenhower has been undergoing refit, meaning it’s structure is more vulnerable, and the crippling of the ins hanit by Hezbollah used Iranian technology in July 2006 has shown that american warships in carrier battle groups, which are similarly built in hull structure, can be easily taken out by Iranian technology. Also the american military has retired the F-14 Tomcat fighters from service, in all likelihood an attempt to free up money to be spent on the F-22 and other new fighter aircraft the ameircan military is producing. Considering how many of these ships are old and american air and ground forces in Afghanistan and Iraq are short on material this assumption is a logical one.
Should the american military attempt such an attack in all likelihood it would be a failure. The american government is unpopular and it knows it. Judging by the domestic steps it is taking one can only conclude that some sort of crackdown is being prepared. In late September congress passed a bill granting the government the power to detain anyone indefinitely who it suspected of being an enemy combatant. Though similar laws since 9/11 have been passed the timing of this is a sign that something is being considered, namely a crackdown on American citizens who oppose their government’s criminal actions. Consider also how communications lines with the representatives of governments who question American acts and preparations for aggression are occurring. For instance the Russian ambassador to the UN’s e-mails are frequently blocked, as are the Chinese ambassador to the UN’s e-mails. Such an act is done to prevent representatives of foreign governments from hearing how people in america really feel about their government. Such blocking of communications sparked former Iranian President Khatami to tour america so that he would be able to more directly communicate with america to prevent aggression against his country. Hopefully the representatives of Russia, China, Germany, France, and Britain will remember this when they meet to consider action to be taken against Iran, since such actions occurred three years ago when the issue of Iraq was at stake. Already american bakdealing has helped cause a rift in the Shanghai Cooperative Organization nations and China and Russia are taking little action to heal this rift. They would do well to remember that after Iran's defeat over Herat in the 1830's as the result of western manipulation China and the rest of Asia soon feel under western influence. Today, these Asian nations should unite instead of allowing divisions to form.
Khatami’s tour of america showed much of how the american government is planning aggression against Iran. For one, the american government financed demonstrators who protested Khatami’s speeches throughout his american tour. This would have gone unnoticed had not the demonstrators themselves bragged about how the american government was financing their protests. Even more noticeable was what happened when Khatami traveled to the Boston area. The governor of massachusetts mitt Romney ordered all law enforcement agencies to refuse Khatami protection, casting the specter of some act of violence, possibly american backed, against Khatami. In response to this the mayors of Boston and Cambridge ordered their police departments to provide protection for Khatami’s visit. They not only did this but in doing so they prevented any act of violence from occurring. Just as alarming was the fact that many Iranian groups and groups who oppose american aggression did not plan to take action to protect Khatami. Case in point; the Nation of Islam would not plan any actions in support of Khatami for his Boston visit, citing the guarantee of security by those aforementioned mayors as a reason not to mobilize. Their refusal was flawed for several reasons. First, it deprived Iranians of extra support to counter the government backed protesters and since groups like answer and ufpj would not mobilize many in the anti-war movement were deprived of extra support to attend Khatami’s event. Second, if the security forces arranged for Khatami’s visit turned on him or someone made an assassination attempt there would have been extra people to take retaliatory action. This is something people should bear in mind for future occurrences.
Just as alarming is the treatment of Iranians and of those who oppose american aggression. Once again these people are on the receiving end of harassment, be it arrests on false and frivolous charges, harassment by electronic surveillance, wiretapping, mail tampering, and stalking. Unlike three years ago there is a clear lack of leaders and many in the anti-war movement and other dissidents are too scared to take constructive action. Even worse is how today Iranian groups and other so-called dissident groups are encouraged not to speak out and are rewarded by the government for it, and some groups even placed in situations where they are provoked into action. One instance occurred in January 2006 at MIT. Throughout that month several Iranian studies groups held lectures which were open to the public. What most of the attendants were unaware of was that in the building next to where the lectures were being held the nanotechnology lab, where work on american military projects occurs, was left unsecured. Had some attack on the nanotech lab occurred most certainly the Iranian student groups would have been blamed. Also noticeable is how Iranian groups at colleges are discouraged from inviting speakers who express dissenting and anti-war views to speak at campuses and from being involved in social justice events. Even more alarming is how Iranian organizations are often discouraged from getting involved in social justice and in supporting Iranians who are on the receiving end of government harassment, let alone organizing any event more controversial than a No Ruz celebration. Such behaviors are the signs of groups that either accept their persecution or are too lazy to do anything about it.
During times of crisis people should never hesitate to resist any attack against themselves. In this day and age the majority of Iranians in america appear to be tolerating, or too weak to do anything about, the persecution they are receiving. This behavior must be reversed if Iranians, let alone any ethnic group, in america are to avoid the fate of similar groups in nazi germany.

Watson guantanamo event

If some of you wonder why I was busy thursday it was because I was this
event below most of the day.
http://www.watsoninstitute.org/news_detail.cfm?id=501
One thing they don't mention is that the participants were not properly
linked up so people at Watson could not send questions to the panelists.
Plus Sarah havens even previewed some the lyrics of a rap song written
by a guantanamo detainee from Yemen which she said Eminem will be
performing.

ALERT; Zendran again harassed by providence pigs

This just happened yesterday one half hour after I had a document notarized authorizing the RI ACLU to investigate harassment I was recieving from the ppd.
Yesterday shortly after 2:00 PM I was pulled off the #66 bus by two ppd officers, one badge # 628, the other san antonio badge # 604 who I have named in my federal lawsuit against the ppd for violating my rights. My backpack was searched without my consent and my 2 inch buckknife was stolen. Later two more ppd officers arrived, a sergant, badge # 55, and slater, badge # 365 wo I also have named in my federal lawsuit against the ppd for violating my rights. All four ppd officers were not wereing their nametags on their uniforms. I refused to say anything other than that I was being harassed and my property was stolen and was led into the back of a ppd car and # 628 transported to ppdhq. While being processed # 628 called me slurs including retard, freak, and hippie, threatened that if he saw me on the street he would make up charges against me to arrest me and also threatened to break my teeth and pull out m hair if he ever saw me. While my property was being inventoried the duty officer stole a pool ball which he found in my backpack and # 628 said he refused to return my buckknife. I was led to a cell after a phone call I made reached an answering machine and was denied the right to make a call later, and the phone in the cell I was in was broken. Around 3:00 Pm a detective approached my cell, asked me if I had any serious medical conditions, to which I said no. I then refused to make any further statements and when he said I was being charged for disorderly conduct for spitting on washington trust bank on washington st. in providence he refused to tell me for which incidents I was being charged with. I replied that spitting on a bank was not disorderly conduct nor any other criminal violation and when I asked for that detective's name he falsely replied he was colonel esserman. That same detecive had harassed me in downtown providence monday which I filed a complaint with the RI ACLU about. Later that night when taken to be photographed and fingerprinted i said I was doing so under protest, and was told that I was the first person to be photographed with the ppd's new irisscan.
This morning I was brought to sixth district court and arraigned before judge Ippolito. The report was read and i was accused of spitting on washington trust bank on washington st. at times and dates which I did not, particularly on the day I was stopped by those four when I did not walk by washington trust at all during the day and the time coincided when I was at the RI ACLU office. I did not point this out to the judge but when asked if I had a record the case I had in providence Municipal Court in May/June 2004 was brought up and I explained to the judge that case was dismissed. Even though judge Ippolito admitted he was a washington trust customer he released me on $1,000 Personal Recognizance and placed a no contact order on the washington st. branch of washington trust bank after I pled Not Guilty, asked to have the case heard in RI Superior Court, and asked to appear Pro Se. I was later released and soon contacted the FBI, informing them of this latest incident and the harassment I continue to recieve from the ppd. Needless to say i will fight this and any assistance is appreciated.

Update on Zendran court situation

Some good news and bad news.
The good news. I recieved a letter yesterday from the Clerk of the US
Supreme Court. My case has been docketed and may be heard soon. The
case Number is 06-6438.
The bad news. I showed up in providence Municipal Court before Judge
Joseph A Abbate who set Trial date for my case dealing with the incident
that occured on August 25, 2006 after I pled Not Guilty to the charge of
disorderly conduct. The Trial for that has been set for January 24,
2007. Needless to say I will attempt to have that trial date set to an
earlier date.
As I posted before, those wishing to assist in me in this you can write
to Providence Municipal Court on my behalf explaining how no crime was
comitted and that the action of the pigs is simply to harass me for my
federal Lawsuit against them, and refuse to do business with washington
trust bank who has filed this nonsensical complaint and encourage your
friends to do likewise.

that occured on August 25, 2006 after I pled Not Guilty to the charge of
disorderly conduct. The Trial for that has been set for January 24,
2007. Needless to say I will attempt to have that trial date set to an
earlier date.
As I posted before, those wishing to assist in me in this you can write
to Providence Municipal Court on my behalf explaining how no crime was
comitted and that the action of the pigs is simply to harass me for my
federal Lawsuit against them, and refuse to do business with washington
trust bank who has filed this nonsensical complaint and encourage your
friends to do likewise.

Trouble brewing over Iran in northeast

Just recently, with Khatami's visit to the Boston area to take place for the next few days, has anyone noticed the odd things going on up there. For instance mass governor romney has ordered no protection for Khatami's visit but rumors are going around that Boston mayor Menino is ordering protection for Khatami. Or how some few Iranians are planning to demonstrate against Khatami in Boston, and I mean Iranians who collaborate with bush, but no demos in support of Khatami are being planned. I would go there in support of Khatami but I have had to spend a lot of money on preparing my case I do not have the means to get to Boston myself. If anyone is willing to give me a ride from RI to Boston and back please let me know.
Also notice how the UN is acting lately. E-mail contact info for Kofi Annan and the Russian ambassador is being supressed and e-mails to several UN ambassadors, including the Chinese ambassador, are being blocked.
Pay attention folks, something could go down soon.

UPDATE ALERT; Zendran harassment update

Just had a VERY busy but productive day, learning many new things on my case.First I picked up a copy of the incident report from when the pigs stopped me. Turned out it was full of lies. Among them the fact that despite that bank's stated numerous complaints about me over the past few years the oldest complaint was from August 22, 2006. Also the report was listed as an arrest report despite the fact that all three pigs that stopped me said I was NOT under arrest. Furthermore I was quoted out of context and the report said I was turned over to a detective for questioning which NEVER occured, I only met with a detective some six hours after being detained and only to be told I was being charged with disorderly conduct.Also on the charge of disorderly conduct the report lists it as a state law violation but instead the case is being tried by Providence Municipal Court since RI District Court will not try the case. Note that according to RI General Law and Providence City Code spitting on any part of a building does NOT constitute disorderly conduct nor does it violate any law in RI. Therefore no crime was comitted or laws were broken.Second, I found that my name was misspelled on the summons to appear in Providence Municipal Court. When I pointed this out to the clerk at PMC I was told it would not be a problem.Also I have finished my Brief for the Supreme Court and will be mailing it out tomorrow. Also noticed 2 days ago that someone had gotten in to the place where I was keeping the Brief copies for safekeeping. Though nothing was missing some items were moved around and someone left perfume, which tipped me off since I do not have any perfume.As far as action assistance here are two things you can do to assist me in my case.1. Write the Providence Municipal Court on my behalf. Remind them that I broke no laws in spitting on Washington Trust bank when walking by and that the action by the Providence Police is being done to disrupt my filing an appeal against them in the Supreme Court.2. Do NOT do any business with washington trust bank. This is especially important if you live in the new england area. That bank has a history of making profits by exploiting people like myself, including stealing money from people's accounts then doctoring evidence. They do not think twice about pulling any stunt like they did with me, so avoid any business with them and feel free to express your disgust with them for making profits by exploiting other people. I even was informed by a Brown professor who is also a customer of Washington Mutual Bank in Los Angeles. He informed me that Washington Mutual has been involved mistakenly in legal actions because many confused it with washington trust. If any of you have stories like this please come forward with them.That's all for now, will post more later as things develop.

More trouble in Iranian affairs

Has anyone noticed that things other than the usual american aggressive attitudes directed towards Iran are effecting Iranians around the world? Notice how people are not paying attention to how members of the UN security council are having their e-mails censored and blocked. The same goes for the e-mail accounts of Iranians who oppose american aggression, plus increased harassment of Iranians who oppose zionist/american aggression is increasing. And as usual nobody's paying attention.

ALERT; Zendran harassed again by providence pigs

Yesterday afternoon the latest harassment incident by the providence police department against me occured which I am describing in detail below.Yesterday shortly after 3PM I was catching the Broad St. bus on my way to an appointment with my eye doctor when two ppd cars pulled up. One officer, badge # 467 asked me for ID. I showed my no fare pass and was asked if I had a problem with washington trust bank. Then the two other oficers in the other patrol car, savinsky, badge # 436 and slater, badge # 365 repeated the same question. I told them I had a dispte with that bank, which I wall describe more of below, and I asked each officer if I was under arrest and told I was not, that someone form washington trust had filed a complaint against me for spitting on a window for passing by on the street. I then was asked to get in the car with savinsky and slater and was driven to the station. On the way there both officers argued with me about the complaint filed about me and was told that I would be held for questioning. The argument continued as I was being processed at the station and from my meeting those three until I was taken to a cell I was at no point Mirandized. While being processed savinsky, upon learning I was half-Iranian, asked me if I supported going after Iran's President, which I refused to answer. While making a phone call to a friend to make my situation known savinsky interrupted my call to speak with the person I was calling and tell them his version of events. While waiting the duty officer from my arrival to 11PM, who was also on form 7AM until my release, made arrangements for me to pray as my faith requires. While in the cell two other officers who were out of uniform walked by, one of them who I recognized as schiavulli, badge # 651, who had falsely arrested me two years before, telling others I was making death threats to ppd officers. Later that night a detective stopped by my cell and told me that bank was filing charges in RI district court and I would be charged with disorderly conduct for spitting on the bank whenever I walked by, claiming they had filed numerous complaints against me. At no point when meeting with that detective was I Mirandized. Between 11PM and 7AM the duty officer made no attempt to let me speak with him in regards to my praying and I had to take that matter up with the duty officer who came on at 7AM who did allow me to pray. Later that morning I was informed the providence municipal court would be hearing my case and that I would be released. Around 11AM I was released without bail and told my trial for disorderly conduct was scheduled for September 21, 2006. I then got my belongings and was released.Several things to bear in mind.1. I am in the process of appealing the decision by the First Circut Court in the United States Supreme Court and am in the process of writing my Petition for Writ of Certiorari, which is due in two weeks. Had I been held longer I would have been unable to file my Petition and would have had to refile my case and the timing of this is a clear attempt to intimidate me from filing my petition, which I am still working on and is nearing completion.2. The fact that I was told I was wanted for questioning, taken to the station, and then charged instead of my being charged when confronted by those three. That they used this ruse to go with them shows they wanted to trick me into going with them by using the pretext I was not under arrest.3. The fact that savinsky asked that question about my political attitude toward Iran when he learned that I was half-Iranian and that schiavulli made that comment about my making threats which was baseless, was allowed. Was it done to harass me which would not have happened under normal circumstances?4. The fact that washington trust calimed to have filed numerous complaints against me but did not act on them until yesterday. My dispute with washington trust bank goes back to January 1992, when that bank helped my stepfather and his lawyer, f thomas lenihan, steal money and assets from me which I had inherited from my grandmother as per her will. These assets were worth at least $100,000 and I have recieved next to no assistance in dealing with this matter. A friend of my grandmothers who agreed to handle my case died in 1997 while investigating the case, when refered to jim hardy in 1999 through disability law center he refered my case to nancy chudacoff, who agreed to give me a free consultation. When I did consult her she was of no assistance in pursuing my case, was a customer of that bank, and demanded $150 for the consultation. Since those assets of mine were stolen I had lost my health, experienced homelessness, and spent 33 months in dcyf custody so my stepfather and his lawyer could steal my assets, and experienced numerous health problems, including visual imparement and stress related to this loss which I would not have experienced had my assets not been stolen. The washington trust bank has also pulled this kind of action on other individuals and at no point, even while I was in dcyf, was I offered any constructive legal assistance in pursuing this matter. I plan on counter charging washington trust and will mention their actions in my Petition to the Supreme Court since the ppd is claiming this as their latest excuse to harass me.Needless to say I will fight this charge and am exploring every legal option available. If any of you wish to assist me feel free to contact me on how you can help.Peter Z
