A segment from the documentary - We - where Arundhati Roy - the writer and activist - talks about the growing gap between the rich and the poor in the world. See the entire documentary at www.weroy.org. Roys comments in this segment end at a very insightful point where she says that both socialism and market capitalism are inherently flawed and are bound to fail. Because both are conjured up by the human-mind but they destroy themselves by human nature! I am reminded here of Shaheed Sadrs profound analysis at the beginning of his book - Our Philosophy. Any social system that does not take into account the various dimensions of human nature - including the material and the spiritual - any system that does not have a program for curing the problems in hearts and for developing the good potentials in human souls and only focuses upon the material factors is bound to fail - be they the socialist states or the welfare systems in capitalist economies. The strength and beauty of Islam is in its comprehensive-ness - in its comprehensive and wholistic guiding principles for all dimensions of human nature and for both individual lives and collective issues of society.

Poor Islamic leadership results in vacuum and deviance

The following is the full text of the speech delivered on September 17, 2013 by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a meeting with commanders and officials of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. The meeting was held on the occasion of the 20th Congress of Officials and Commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful First, I would like to welcome you and second, I congratulate you on this auspicious Eid. You turned our day into an Eid with your presence and warm breath and with the good programs that you performed. I hope that, by Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor, your hearts will always be happy. I hope that your hearts will always remember God and achieve loftier positions. I would like to say a few things about our great Imam and knowledgeable member of the Holy Prophet\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s (s.w.a.) household, Imam Ali ibn Musa ar-Ridha (thousands of greetings and praise be upon him). In fact, we cannot understand the spiritual position of these holy personalities, let alone describe them in words. However, before our eyes and before the eyes of history, the lives of these great personalities are a practical, eternal and undeniable lesson. If, in certain cases, we take a look at the lives of the Imams (a.s.) and if we put great emphasis on their policies, the measures they took and their biographies, this does not mean that these are the most important parts of their lives. This is not the case. Their spiritual world, their effort to get close to God and the wisdom and love which radiated from their peerless hearts are other important parts of their lives. However, what is before our eyes is the lives of these great personalities and we should learn from them. Imam Ridha (a.s.) lived for almost 55 years. That is to say, he was born in the year 148 - the year when Imam Sadiq (a.s.) was martyred - and he was martyred in the year 203 of the Hijri calendar. The entire life of this great personality with all its greatness, depth and dimensions took place in this fairly short era. Nineteen, twenty years out of these 55 years constituted the era of the Imamate of this great personality. But if you take a look at this short era, you will see that it exerted a considerable influence on the world of Islam, it gave great depth to the true meaning of Islam and it helped people follow the Holy Prophet\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s (s.w.a.) household and get familiar with their teachings. This is an extraordinary phenomenon and it is like a deep sea. When that Imam achieved Imamate, his close friends and his followers said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"What can Ali ibn Musa do in such an environment which is filled with Harun\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s oppression?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" There is a narration which says, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Blood trickles from Harun\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s sword.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" These friends and followers used to say, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"In such conditions, what can this young Imam do to continue the jihad of Shia Imams and to carry out the great responsibility which falls on his shoulders?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" This is the beginning of the Imamate of Ali ibn Musa ar-Ridha (a.s.). When you take a look, you will see that after the passage of 19, 20 years - when Ali ibn Musa ar-Ridha was martyred and his Imamate ended - the ideas and thoughts of the Holy Prophet\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s (s.w.a.) household and the issue of commitment to the Imams were established, in the world of Islam, so firmly that the oppressive and dictatorial Abbasid regime could not confront it. Ali ibn Musa ar-Ridha had done this. You have heard that De\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'bel-e Khozayee went to Merv in Khorasan and composed and recited a number of well-known poems in praise of Imam Ridha for which he was rewarded. He stayed in Merv and other cities of Khorasan for a few days and then he went towards Baghdad, Kufa and other cities that he wanted to visit. In the middle of the way, some bandits attacked and looted the caravan on which De\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'bel was travelling. The travelers sat and watched the looting of their property. The chief of the bandits was sitting on a rock and proudly watching the prisoners and captives of this caravan and the things which they had stolen and collected. De\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'bel heard that the chief was whispering a poem. He listened and he realized that it was his own poem. It was one of the couplets of the qasida that he had recited one month or one month and a half ago in Merv: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"I see that their property has been looted and divided among outsiders and wicked people.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [Speaking in Arabic] In the middle of the way to Rey and Iraq, the chief of the bandits was reciting this poem from memory. De\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'bel became happy. He stood up and said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Who has composed the poem that you are reciting?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" The chief said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"It belongs to De\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'bel-e Khozayee.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" De\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'bel said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Well, I am De\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'bel-e Khozayee.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" When the chief saw that this person was De\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'bel-e Khozayee, he stood up, held De\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'bel in his arms, kissed him and said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Because of the presence of this person in the caravan, give them back all their property.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" They gave them back all their property, respected them and helped them move towards their destination. Well, this is a small event in history, but it has a great significance. The poem which was composed in praise of Ali ibn Musa ar-Ridha was recited and memorized, in Rey and Iraq, by a bandit after the passage of almost one month or one month and a half since the poem was composed. What does this mean? It means that the ground for promoting the position of the Holy Prophet\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s (s.w.a.) household and the auspicious name of Imam Ridha was so prepared that, in a short time, this poem - at that time, poetry was one of the most effective means of communication - spread rapidly by word of mouth until it was picked up by a bandit in the middle of a desert. This indicates the great movement which was launched during the Imamate of Ali ibn Musa ar-Ridha in order to promote the school of thought of the Holy Prophet\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s (s.w.a.) household. During this time, the love of the Holy Prophet\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s (s.w.a.) household was shared by all individuals and the hearts of all people felt the presence and existence of the Imams in the Islamic community. The movement of the honorable children of the Imams towards Iran has a positive and meaningful dimension as well as a tragic dimension because of their martyrdom in the middle of the way to Iran. The reason for their movement towards Iran was the request of the people and their acceptance of the Holy Prophet\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s (s.w.a.) household. As you know, when we speak about the Holy Prophet\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s (s.w.a.) household, we mean the school of thought which was established by the Imams and the Islamic concepts which they introduced. It means a deeply cultural and spiritual achievement and a great ideological feat. This is the movement of Imam Ridha (a.s.). According to the events that you know and have heard about, Ma\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'mun finally feels that he has to martyr Ali ibn Musa ar-Ridha (a.s.) - he had forced that great Imam to leave Medina in order to get close to him and he did not plan to kill Imam Ridha at first - contrary to what he had planned. The divine will and plan to bury a member of the Holy Prophet\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s (s.w.a.) household in this place, which was faraway from Medina, was exercised by the enemies of the Holy Prophet\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s (s.w.a.) household. This is divine wisdom and engineering. In order to reach lofty goals, one should carry out his responsibilities in such a way. Long-term outlooks should be adopted with such intention, motives and hopes. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has such a position. The issue is not that a new government was formed after the Revolution and that it has certain supporters and opponents and certain soldiers, guardians and armed forces. The issue is not this. It is beyond such things. The issue of the Islamic Revolution - which is protected by you members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps - is beyond such things. First of all, I would like to say a few things about the experience of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps over these many years. Then, I will raise the point which I had wanted to discuss with you dear brothers. The performance of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps over the past 30-plus years has been brilliant. I am not saying this as a ceremonial gesture, like the words of praise which are uttered in many places. This is a fact. The performance of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps represents the experience of our nation. That is to say, the depth of the personality and identity of the Iranian nation can be seen in this performance because the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps enters the arena with faith and belief. What kind of arena? The arena of jihad and resistance. It has built the strongest and the most intelligent military commanders. During the war, those who became designers- and as foreigners say \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"strategists\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"- while they were young and below thirty years old and had not received any military education. It was the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps who built them. It was this organization which created such a spiritual environment. It was the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps which founded such an organization on the basis of faith and belief. It has built a number of outstanding personalities whom our nation and our history will never forget. This is the art of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. These are the things which this organization has done in the area of war. Besides these, we can see that it has built and introduced the wisest, the strongest and the best managers in non-military areas. The list of people that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has introduced to the ruling organizations of the Islamic Republic is very long and glorious. This is the performance of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. One of the important parts of the performance of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps is that it lives a revolutionary life and it preserves its revolutionary nature. That is to say, different events have not been able to make this strong and powerful organization deviate from the main and the right path. It has not changed its path just because life and the world have changed. These are the excuses that a number of people make. These people make excuses for compromising their principles and they justify their mistakes. Their excuse is that the world has changed, that everything has changed. Well, certain things do not change. Since the beginning of history until today, the virtue of justice and the tendency of human beings to seek justice have not changed. The fact that oppression is bad and national independence and national dignity are great virtues has not changed. These things and many other principles cannot be changed. The fact that the world has changed cannot give us an excuse to change our behavior, our ideals and our goals. When our ideals change, our path changes too. When our ultimate goal changes, then it is absurd to follow the previous path. In such circumstances, we should move towards achieving a new goal and we should follow a new path. One of the most important strong points of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps is its resistance and steadfastness on this enlightened path. These are the points which I wanted to raise about the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. Of course, one can say many things about this organization. We have said many things about it. Other people too have said many things. Of course, there are many points which have not been raised about this organization, but right now, I am not going to speak about this issue more than this. What is important is that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps is the guardian of the Islamic Revolution. I do not want to say that this guardianship means the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps should protect the Islamic Revolution in all arenas including scientific, intellectual, cultural and economic arenas. This is not what I mean. What I want to say is that as a living organism, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps should know what it wants to protect and what this Revolution is. It is not necessary for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to engage in protection of the Islamic Revolution in political arenas, but it should gain a proper understanding of political arenas. Some people mix certain issues together. This should be clarified. It is not possible to describe a certain organization as the arm and the guardian of the Revolution, but make it ignore and close its eyes to different political orientations - while some of these orientations behave in a deviant way and become dependent on such and such a group and some of them do not. This is meaningless. Such an organization should know what it wants to protect. If we relegate the challenges that the Revolution is faced with to political and partisan challenges and to confrontation between certain people, this is negligence and carelessness. These are not the challenges that the Revolution is faced with. The main challenge of the Revolution is that it has introduced a new system for humanity. We are not saying that since the beginning, the Revolution addressed the entire humanity. This is not the case. At first, it was the Islamic Revolution of Iran and it only addressed issues which were related to Iran and fundamental changes in this country. However, the language and message of this Revolution could not naturally be confined to the borders of Iran. Through this Revolution, a message which was based on a universal and human truth was conveyed to the entire humanity. Anybody in the world who hears this message feels that they are attached to it. What is this message? If we want to describe the social and human function of this message in a phrase we should say that it is: confrontation with global arrogance. This is the message of the Revolution. Global arrogance is a system which divides the world into the oppressed and the oppressor. The logic of the Revolution, which is based on the logic of Islam, is \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Deal not unjustly, nor shall you be dealt with unjustly.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, 2: 279] You should not oppress others and you should not let others oppress you. Who in the world is not happy about and interested in this message? This message is: neither oppress other people nor let them oppress you. This is the exact opposite of the current order in the world which was imposed after the emergence of the new industrial civilization and the prevalence of industrial tools and the culture of domination. Any organization in the world which is dependent on global arrogance is against this message. Those who like to achieve domination over other countries - that is to say, oppressive governments and economic networks which suck at the resources of other nations - are against this message because they are oppressors. The dependent governments which rule over poor or rich nations, which follow global arrogance, which have no power but which follow and obey these arrogant powers are also against this message. Such and such a government which completely implements the policies of arrogant powers such as America or England is naturally against the message of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"[D]eal not unjustly, nor shall you be dealt with unjustly.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" The international, multinational or domestic organizations which loot people\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s wealth are against this message. Those politicians who promote the three elements of war, poverty and decadence throughout the world are against this message. During the last two, three centuries, many of the wars which were waged were influenced by global arrogance. Global powers either waged a war against a certain country or made two other countries fight one another. They have done this for the sake of their own interests. Poverty too is the result of their policies. They are to blame for the situation that they have created in many poor countries where the people live in poverty and cannot benefit from their natural resources. With their political domination, these arrogant powers have prevented many countries from drawing on their own intellectual resources. You should read the book \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Glances at World History\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" written by Jawaharlal Nehru. In the chapter which is about the interference of the English in India, he says that the kind of industry and science which existed in India was not inferior to the one in Europe, England and the west. Rather it was superior to European science. Well, Nehru was both trustworthy and well-informed. When the English entered India, one of their plans was to prevent the domestic industry of India from developing. Well, India ended up watching tens of millions of people in that era and hundreds of millions of people in future eras suffer from hunger in the real sense of the word. The same is true of Africa. The same is true of many Latin American countries. So, not only does global arrogance wage wars but it also brings about poverty. The great treasure which has been accumulated on the peaks of wealth and which belongs to the richest individuals in the world reminds us of this hadith: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"I have not seen any kind of wealth which was accumulated without someone\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s right being violated.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [Derasat fi Nahjul Balaghah, page 40] When they loot the oil, agricultural products and tea resources of a country, when they take control of financial sectors of a country in a way that the people have no access to it and when they do not let the people in such a country have control over production, industry and other areas related to national progress, this country and nation becomes poor. So, they are responsible for war, poverty and decadence. They are responsible for the prevalence of decadence and fueling the fire of sexual desire - which is a natural process and which can be ignited in all individuals. Each of these issues requires a long and detailed discussion. Well, global arrogance promotes war, poverty and decadence and it does this by dividing the world into the oppressed and the oppressor. Islam - that is to say, the Islamic Revolution which is based on Islamic concepts - says, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Deal not unjustly, nor shall you be dealt with unjustly.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" It rejects all these negative elements. This is the main challenge. This is the root of their enmity. This is why they fight the Islamic Revolution. Other issues are all excuses. We should adopt such an outlook on sanctions, domestic wars, coups d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'état and other events which have taken place during the recent years such as the nuclear issue. Contrary to what everyone thought, our Revolution achieved victory. Then it formed a government which managed to prevail. This was while everyone in the world thought that the Islamic Republic would be destroyed in six months or in one or two years. Then they gave a generous figure and said that the Islamic Republic would be destroyed in three, four years. Contrary to what they thought, it became stronger on a daily basis and its \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"root is firm and its branches are in heaven, yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, 14: 24-25]. It has turned into a regional power and a country which is influential in major international issues. They are against this. They raise the issue of nuclear weapons. Well, we do not believe in nuclear weapons, not because of such and such people and not because of America and other countries. Rather, we are against nuclear weapons because of our belief. No one should have nuclear weapons. When we say that other countries should not have nuclear weapons, it means that we ourselves should not and will not have them. But, their problem is something else. If certain countries emerge which put an end to their exclusive right, they will have no problems with that. Of course, they do not want to give up their self-proclaimed right, but if this happens, they will not create uproar about it. But when it comes to Islamic Iran and the Islamic Republic, they create uproar. Why do they do this? It is because having such a capability and power is a source of support for the Islamic Republic which is based on \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"[D]eal not unjustly, nor shall you be dealt with unjustly.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" This is the main challenge. We should know and see this. With such an outlook, we should analyze and interpret the behavior of America, the west and such and such a country and orientation which is dependent on and attached to these powers. This is the Islamic Revolution. In the eyes of these enemies, no one is more hated than our magnanimous Imam who was an outstanding personality and who was like a shining sun. They looked at him with respect, but they also showed enmity towards him from the bottom of their hearts because he resisted and because he was perceptive and wise due to two unique characteristics that he enjoyed: complete wisdom and complete decisiveness. He put up resistance in a determined way and he was like a barrier in the way of their progress and in the way of the harm which they wanted to inflict. This was why they were his enemies. Of course, as I said, they looked at him with respect. They knew about his greatness, but the greater he was, the angrier they became. Today, the same situation exists. They show the same hatred towards anybody who is committed to these main values and principles - that is to say, values which determine the political identity of the Revolution such as \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"[D]eal not unjustly, nor shall you be dealt with unjustly\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". They hate anybody who realizes that the problems the enemies created for the Islamic Republic are based on this outlook and who takes this path by adopting such an outlook and showing such resistance. Of course, the world of diplomacy is the world of smiling. They smile and ask to negotiate with us. They themselves offer to negotiate with us. A few days ago, one of the western politicians was asked, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"You want to negotiate with Iran. This is while Iran is your enemy.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" He said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Well, negotiations should be conducted with the enemy, not other people.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" That is to say, they admit that they are the enemies of Iran and they say this openly. The reason for their enmity is not the behavior of certain people. Rather, the reason is the true nature and identity of the Islamic Revolution. Everything that they say should be analyzed, interpreted and identified from this perspective. We are not against proper and reasonable moves, whether in the world of diplomacy or in the world of domestic policies. I believe in the idea which was referred to as \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"heroic flexibility\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". Flexibility is necessary in many areas. It is very good and there is nothing wrong with it. But the wrestler who is wrestling against his opponent and who shows flexibility for technical reasons should not forget who his opponent is and what he is doing. This is the main condition. Our politicians too should know what they are doing, who they are faced with, who their opponent is and which area the opposing side wants to attack. They should pay attention to this point. Well, you are the guardians of the Islamic Revolution. The meaning of the guardian of the Islamic Revolution is not that you should be present in all arenas and you should have a responsibility in all areas. As it was reflected in the statements of the dear and honorable commander who delivered a speech today, you have a certain and clear responsibility. As he pointed out, it is an appropriate move to take a look on the scope of activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. I agree with what he said. But, first, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps should always know what it wants to do and what it wants to protect. Second, it should preserve its stability and steadfastness which is the main characteristic of the glorious identity of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. It should not forget this. Everybody, at all levels, should pay attention to this point. I have repeatedly pointed out that what the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps does is based on spirituality. Spirituality does not contradict scientific progress, systematic organization, new methods and different scientific and practical innovations. We should not think that when we pay attention to spirituality, we should ignore the material aspects of life. This is not the case. During the early Islamic era, the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.), the Commander of the Faithful (a.s.) and Muslims employed the best and the cleverest tactics in the arenas of war. In our own times too, revolutionary elements - whether the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the Islamic Republic of Iran Army or other revolutionary elements - employed the cleverest tactics and methods during the Sacred Defense Era. Spirituality does not contradict the idea that we should pay attention to the material aspects of our work and the effective organization of things. This spirituality should be preserved because it is the essence of our work. The last point I want to raise is that, in my opinion, the future of the Islamic Revolution is a bright future. This is not a vain hope. I am saying this because we have taken everything into consideration. There are two reasons for this. The first reason is experience. Well, during the early years of the Revolution, we were in a terrible condition because of our lack of manpower, lack of material resources, lack of weapons, lack of executive experience and different other shortcomings. But, where are we now? Today, we benefit from a wealth of manpower, material resources, scientific and political progress and international dignity. Where were we 30-plus years ago and where are we now? All of our moves during the past 35 years were made while we were under pressure from the opposing side. That is to say, the wind was blowing in the opposite direction, but we managed to move forward. On the path that we were taking, there were fierce and adverse winds, but we managed to move forward. Is this experience not good? Is it not enough? Hostile orientations cannot confuse or stop a nation who is united, determined and religious and who knows what is wants to do. On the issue of the regional events which recently took place in the world of Islam, wherever Muslims suffered a loss, it was because they did not know what they should do. In these events, there was not a clear guideline and therefore such things happened. Of course, it will not remain like this. The event which happened in regional and Islamic countries - that is to say, Islamic Awakening - is an unprecedented phenomenon and it will play its part in these events. So, our experience is the first reason. Another reason is that we are moving forward with rationality and scientific precision. Our opposing side suffers from increasing weaknesses and internal contradictions because of the wrong way the infrastructures of this civilization are built. They are retreating. Of course, they do not need to admit that they are retreating and it is not necessary to visibly and clearly see this in their statements. This is the truth of the matter. When a people move things forward with precision and by finding the right way, they will definitely achieve the desired results. We have said that we should promote the idea of building the Islamic Republic from the inside. We have said that knowledge should develop and spread. We have said that domestic production should be the essence of our work. We have said that we should adopt a serious outlook on the issue of optimism about the domestic capabilities of the country. We have said that talents should develop and blossom. These things are the essence of our work. When a country moves forward by relying on its domestic capabilities, its manpower, its knowledge, its faith and its unity, it will certainly achieve the desired results. Therefore, we have no doubts that we have a bright future ahead of us. Whether this future arrives sooner or later depends on you and I. If laziness, negligence, selfishness, materialism and attachment to superficial things divert our attention and if we do something to cause our downfall - whether individual downfall or social downfall - then this future will be achieved later than expected. But it will definitely be achieved and this is because of the efforts and sacrifices which were made. Thankfully, in the arena of sacrifices too, you have been very active. You have put in a good performance and made brilliant moves in this arena. By Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor, it will be the same in the future. I hope that God will make you benefit from the prayers of the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for his sake). I hope that He will make you and us the guardians of Islam and the Islamic Revolution in the real sense of the word. I hope that He will associate the pure souls of our martyrs and the immaculate soul of our magnanimous Imam with His saints and with the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.). Greetings be upon you and Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s mercy and blessings

http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=7402099&page=1 http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=92354&sectionid=351020205 Exclusive Torture Tape Implicates UAE A senior member of the UAE royal family has been caught, literary red-handed, in a torture scandal after a videotape was released showing a man being severely assaulted by the prince. The videotape smuggled out of the country by Bassam Nabulsi, a businessman from Houston, Texas, depicts Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the UAE Crown Prince's brother, savagely torturing a man. The victim was beaten with wooden planks with nails protruding from them and then the prince poured salt on his bleeding wounds. The video also shows the prince setting fire to parts of the victim's body, giving him electric shocks with a cattle prod, ramming desert sand into his mouth, and firing bullets around him with an automatic rifle. The gruesome footage released by ABC News also shows Sheikh Issa driving over the victim repeatedly with his luxury Mercedes SUV. The sound of breaking bones is clearly audible in this scene. On the video, the victim identified as Afghan grain dealer Mohammed Shah Poor, screams and asks for mercy but the UAE prince sadistically orders the cameraman to come closer to get a better record of the man's suffering. A UAE police officer in uniform can also be seen helping Issa and his men torturing the Afghan man. The Sheikh accused Shah Poor "of short changing on a grain delivery to his royal ranch on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi". The UAE Interior Ministry has admitted that Sheikh Issa had been involved in the torture but claimed that "The incidents depicted in the video tapes were not part of a pattern of behavior." The government also insisted that "all rules, policies and procedures were followed correctly by the Police Department." Sheikh Issa is one of UAE's 22 “Royal Sheikhs” and a son of the country's one and only president, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who died in 2004. Nablusi, who smuggled the 45-minute tape out of the Arab country, says he too was tortured by the UAE police to force him to hand over the tape to them. He is now filing a lawsuit against the Sheikh in a US federal court in Houston. The video was allegedly recorded by Nablusi's brother because the Sheikh took pleasure in watching torture scenes later. Nabulsi who was Sheikh Issa's former business partner, was allegedly arrested and charged by UAE police over narcotics trafficking after he refused to turn over the video. After spending time in a UAE prison, Nablusi was finally deported from the country and his passport was stamped with "Not Allowed to Return to the UAE." The businessman says the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi was aware of the torture tapes but did nothing and only advised him to leave the country. UAE is one of the closest allies of the US in the Middle East and the US Navy operates out of a major base near Dubai. It is also one of the biggest customers for US weapons, having signed a $6.9 billion arms deal with Washington in 2008. The UAE is seen by the US as a critical ally in its self-styled “war on terror

More regulations on the diamond trade - specifically, to purchase only certified diamonds - would only reinforce the monopoly of De Beers and its likes. Human beings are exploited on both ends of the diamond trade. From the poor miners in Africa to those people who are made to believe that their love could only proven by diamond. They probably do not know how much blood is on that diamond. And some, despite knowing, have simply become indifferent and cold (and therefore, in-human). We need to re-think if we need diamonds at all to feel happy about ourselves or express our love toward others? A related question to consider is that Are diamonds really that rare. Is diamond scarcity real or artificial? See another clip on this site by the title "The Diamond Empire" Even if somehow we manage to address the problem of "scarcity" by dismembering the diamond cartels and etc., would that solve the problem? If today we address diamond scarcity somehow, tomorrow the hearts-with-illness will desire for some other “precious” metal or material. Instead of De Beers, you will have some other unscrupulous, profit-hungry business doing similar exploitation. People should definitely engage in political activism, pressuring politicians and companies through protests and boycotts. But just that doing that won’t be enough. What is needed is a deep cultural shift in how people think and desire and somehow re-orient the focus away from the rat race for bigger, better, faster, and more, that you see in almost all segments of society around the world - those in the middle and upper classes that can afford such luxuries and those among the working and poor classes who can't afford but their hearts long for these luxuries, and if tomorrow they become rich, they would probably join the rat race with similar enthusiasm. Change has to start from within ourselves, from transforming our hearts, from changing our standards of beauty and value. More than just sympathy we need to get angry at our complacency and at the exploitation of people and environment and turn our passivity into concrete action.

In this edition of the show: British officials fall short of declaring army intervention in Egypt\'s political affairs as a coup. We will also have a review of major coups in 19th and 20th centuries plotted by Britain. Economy: The British Chancellor George Osborne announced his latest public spending review for the years 2015-16. In this review he skirts over the dire economic situation facing British capitalism. Osborne continues his war against the poor of British society while making yet more massive cuts to public services. In the review of the new spending plan, people who lose their jobs are forced to wait seven days before they can even make a claim for unemployment benefit. Claimants with poor English are required to improve their language skills as a condition of receiving welfare benefits. Spending on welfare benefits is to be further capped and will enable the government to restrict eligibility for housing benefit and disability allowances.

لحظه ) داستان زندگی کربلایی کاظم قبل از روی دادن معجزه به صورت غیبی حافظ قرآن شدنش محمد کاظم کریمی ساروقی فرزند عبد الواحد، معروف به کربلایی کاظم در یکی از روستاهای دور افتاده اراک به نام ساروق ، از توابع فراهان اراک، در خانواده‌ای فقیر چشم به جهان گشود و پس از گذراندن ایام کودکی به کار کشاورزی و دامداری پرداخت. وی تقریبا همچون سایر مردم روستا از خواندن و نوشتن محروم بود و بهره‌ای از دانش و علم نداشت و با وجود علاقه به یاد گرفتن خواندن، نوشتن و آموزش قرآن، به علت عدم توانایی مالی پدر به مکتب نرفت و درس نخواند. یک سال، در ماه مبارک رمضان، مبلّغی از سوی آیت‌الله‌العظمی حاج شیخ عبدالکریم حایری به روستای ایشان می‌رود و در منبر و سخنرانی خود از نماز، خمس و زکات می‌گوید و در ضمن تاکید می‌کند که هر مسلمانی حساب سال نداشته باشد و حقوق مالی خویش را ندهد، نماز و روزه‌اش صحیح نیست. کسانی که گندمشان به حد نصاب برسد و زکات و حق فقرا را ندهند، مالشان به حرام مخلوط می‌گردد و اگر با عین پول آن گندم‌های زکات نداده خانه یا لباس تهیه کنند، نماز در آن خانه و با آن لباس باطل است، وی همچنین تاکید می‌کند که مسلمان واقعی باید به احکام الهی و حلال و حرام خداوند توجه کند و زکات مالش را بدهد. محمد کاظم که می‌دانست ارباب و مالک ده، خمس و زکات نمی‌دهد، ابتدا به او تذکر می‌دهد، ولی او اعتنا نمی‌کند، از این رو، تصمیم می‌گیرد روستای خود را ترک کند و برای ارباب ده کار نکند، هر چه خویشان، به خصوص پدرش، بر ماندن وی پا فشاری می‌کنند، او حاضر نمی‌شود در آن روستا بماند و شبانه از ده فرار می‌کند و تقریبا سه سال برای امرار معاش در دهات دیگر به عملگی و خارکنی می‌پردازد، تا با دسترنج حلال گذران عمر کند. دقت شود که تقوای او و رعایت حلال و حرام در او به حدی بود که همسر خود را در روستا می گذارد و چند سال به شهر غربت می رود تا مال حلال به دست بیاورد. یک روز مالک ده از محل او مطلع می‌شود و برای او پیغام می‌فرستد که من توبه کرده‌ام و خمس و زکات مالم را می‌دهم و از تو می‌خواهم که به ده برگردی و نزد پدرت بمانی. او به روستای خود بر می‌گردد و در زمینی که ارباب در اختیار او می‌نهد، مشغول کشاورزی می‌شود و از همان آغاز نیمی از گندمی را که در اختیارش نهاده شده بود، به فقرا می‌بخشد و بقیه را در زمین می‌افشاند. خداوند به زراعت او برکت می‌دهد، به حدی که فزون‌تر از حد معمول برداشت می‌کند. وی به شکرانه برکت یافتن زراعتش تصمیم می‌گیرد هر ساله نیمی از محصولش را بین فقرا تقسیم کند. داستان چگونگی وقوع معجزه به صورت غیبی حافظ قرآن شدن کربلایی کاظم (ره) یک روز در سن 27 سالگی در زمان برداشت محصول، هنگامی که خرمنش را کوبیده بود، منتظر وزیدن باد می‌ماند تا گندم‌ها را باد دهد و کاه را از گندم جدا کند، ولی هر چه منتظر می‌ماند باد نمی‌وزد. نا امیدانه به ده بر می‌گردد، در راه یکی از فقرای روستا او را می‌بیند و می‌گوید: «امسال چیزی از محصولت را به ما ندادی و ما را فراموش کردی». او می‌گوید: «خدا نکند که من فقرا را فراموش کنم! راستش، هنوز نتوانسته‌ام محصولم را جمع کنم». آن فقیر خوشحال به ده بر می‌گردد، اما محمدکاظم دلش آرام نمی‌گیرد و آشفته حال به مزرعه باز می‌گردد و با زحمت زیاد، مقداری گندم را برای او جمع می‌کند و نیز قدری علوفه برای گوسفندانش می‌چیند و آنها را بر می‌دارد و روانه دهکده می‌شود. در راه بازگشت، برای رفع خستگی گندم‌ها و علوفه را در کناری می‌نهد و روی سکوی درِ باغ امامزاده 72 تن، که نزدیک روستا قرار دارد، می‌نشیند. ناگاه می‌بیند که دو سید جوان عرب نورانی و بسیار خوش سیما، نزد او می‌آیند. وقتی به او می‌رسند، می‌گویند: محمدکاظم نمی‌آیی برویم در این امامزاده فاتحه‌ای بخوانیم؟ او تعجب می‌کند که چطور آنها که هرگز او را ندیده‌اند او را به اسم صدا می‌زنند؟ محمدکاظم می‌گوید: «آقا، من قبلاً به زیارت رفته‌ام و اکنون می‌خواهم به خانه برگردم» ولی آنها می‌گویند:« بسیار خوب، این علوفه‌ها را کنار دیوار بگذار و با ما بیا فاتحه‌ای بخوان. بنابراین محمدکاظم به دنبال آنها روانه امامزاده می‌شود» آن دو جوان مشغول خواندن چیزهایی می‌شوند که محمدکاظم نمی‌فهمد و ساکت کناری می‌ایستد، یکی از آن آقایان می گوید که محمد کاظم به نوشته بالا نگاه بکن در این لحظه کربلایی کاظم می بیند که خطی به صورت نور دمیده شد و ناگاه مشاهده می‌کند که در اطراف سقف امامزاده، کلماتی از نور نوشته شده که قبلاً اثری از آن کلمات بر سقف نبود. یکی از آن دو به او می‌گوید:« کربلایی کاظم چرا چیزی نمی‌خوانی؟» او می‌گوید: «من نزد ملا نرفته‌ام و سواد ندارم.» آن سید می‌گوید: «تو باید بخوانی» تاکید می کند که باید بخوانی. سپس نزد محمدکاظم می‌آید و دست بر سینه او می‌گذارد و محکم فشار می‌دهد و می‌گوید: «حالا بخوان. محمدکاظم می‌گوید: «چه بخوانم؟» آن سید می‌گوید: «این طور بخوان: بسم اللهِ الرَّحمَنِ الرَّحِیم. إِنَّ رَبَّکُمُ اللهُ الَّذِی خَلَقَ السَّمَواتِ وَالارضَ فِی سِتَّةِ أیَّامٍ ثُمَّ استَوَی عَلَی العَرشِ یُغشِی اللَّیلَ النَّهَارَ یَطلُبُهُ حَثیثاً وَ الشَّمسَ وَ القَمَرَ وَ النُّجُومَ مُسَخَّراتِ بِأمرِهِ، ألاَ لَهُ الخَلقُ وَ الاَمرُ تَبَارَکَ اللهُ رَبُّ العَالمَیِنَ اعراف/ 54 . محمدکاظم آن آیه و چند آیة بعدی را به همراه آن سید می‌خواند و آن سید همچنان دست به سینة او می‌کشد، تا می‌رسند به آیة 59 که با این کلمات پایان می پذیرد:إنِّی اَخَافُ عَلَیکُم عَذَابَ یَومٍ عَظِیم.اعراف/59 محمدکاظم پس از خواندن آیات، سرش را بر می‌گرداند تا با آن آقا حرفی بزند، اما ناگهان می‌بیند که خودش تنها در داخل حرم ایستاده است و از نوشته‌های روی سقف نیز چیزی بر جای نمانده است. در این موقع ترس و حالت مخصوصی به او دست می‌دهد و بی‌هوش بر زمین می‌افتد. صبح روز بعد که به هوش می‌آید، احساس خستگی شدید می‌کند و چیزی از ماجرا را به یاد نمی‌آورد. وقتی متوجه می‌شود که داخل امامزاده است، خودش را سرزنش می‌کند که چرا دست از کار کشیده‌ای و در امامزاده خوابیده‌ای!؟ بالاخره از جای بر می‌خیزد و از امامزاده خارج می‌شود و با بار علوفه و گندم به سوی ده و منزل حرکت می‌کند. در بین راه متوجه می‌شود که کلمات زیادی بلد است و ناخود آگاه آنها را زمزمه می‌کند و داستان آن دو جوان را به یاد می‌آورد و به خانه که بر می گرددو به خانه که می رسد پدرش به او می گوید که تو دیشب کجا بودی؟ ما همه جا را دنبالت گشتیم. در ادامه کربلایی کاظم می گوید که من دیشب در امامزادا بودم. پدر می گوید که تو چطور در امامزاده شب را گذراندی؟ چطور در امامزاده ای که چراغ ندارد و پر از مار و عقرب و جانور می باشد شب را گذراندی و نترسیدی؟ کربلایی کاظم گفت: دیشب اتفاقی برای من افتاد و دو نفر من را بردند آنجا و چیزی یادم دادند. پدر و مادرش مشکوک می شوند و احتمال می دهند که او جن زده شده باشد. در ادامه او را پیش همان واعظ روحانی ده می برند که ببیند چه اتفاقی برای او افتاده است؟ داستان را برای آن مبلغ روحانی روستا تعریف می کنند. آن روحانی می پرسد که حالا چه چیزی به تو یاد داده اند. کربلایی کاظم شروع می کند به خواندن. در آن موقع آن روحانی می گوید او قرآن می خواند و جن زده نشده است. قرآنی می آورند و هر جای قرآن را که باز می کنند و آیه ای می خوانند، می بینند که کربلایی کاظم قبل و بعدش را می داند و از حفظ می خواند. آنجا روحانی روستا می گوید که به کربلایی کاظم عنایتی شده است. روحانی روستا می گوید که برویم در امامزاده آن خطوطی را که کربلایی کاظم می گوید در سقف امامزاده دیده است ببینیم. وقتی می روند می بینند که نه اثری از خطی است و نوشته ی نورانی . آن نوشته نورانی فقط در آن لحظه وقوع معجزه بر کربلایی کاظم ظاهر شده بود. داستان زندگی کربلایی کاظم پس از رویدادن معجزه نزول مجدد غیبی قرآن بر او تا پایان حیات مبارکش ملای روستا (( شیخ صابر )) شگفت زده این معجزه را تایید می کند و روستائیان، اهمیت این معجزه را تشخیص نداده جز اینکه گفتند محمد کاظم نظر کرده امام زاده ها شده است. این قضیه مهم به مرور زمان در روستا به فراموشی سپرده شد و هرگاه نیز ملای روستا به محمد کاظم می گفته تا به نزد علمای قم رفته و ایشان را مطلع نمایند، جواب میداده :میترسم ریاکاری شود و خداوند این موهبت را از من پس بگیرد . کربلایی محمد کاظم کریمی به مدت 13 سال این اتفاق را مخفی نگاه می دارد تا حدود 40 سالگی خود. تا اینکه روزی در سفر به عتبات عالیات در طول مسیر پس از گرفتن اشتباه قرآنی دو طلبه و پرس و جوی آن دو طلبه از چگونگی این تسلط او بر قرآن، آن ماجرا فاش می شود. در شهر نجف با علمای اعلام مواجه و پس از امتحانات عدیده از او ، بر آنان یققین حاصل گشت که ایشان بدون داشتن سواد ، به امر الهی نه تنها حافظ کل قرآن کریم شده ، بلکه قادر است به تمام سوالات علوم قرآنی پاسخ بدهد و متقابلا علماء خاص و عام پاسخگوی سوالات کربلایی کاظم در مورد قرآن نبودند . بعد از بازگشت از کربلای معلا از سوی آیت الله بروجردی به شهر قم دعوت شد و مورد امتحان آیات عظام قرار گرفت . کربلایی کاظم با هر بار حاضر شدن در جمع علماء و طلاب و با پاسخگویی به سوالات قرآنی ، عام و خاص را متحیر می ساخت. با بلند شدن آوازه کربلایی کاظم ، شهید نواب صفوی به شهر قم آمد و از آنجا به رسم میزبانی ، کربلایی کاظم را با خود به تهران و در تهران از طریق برگزاری جلسات عمومی ، جلسات با علماء ، مصاحبات مطبوعاتی و به موازات از طریق مطبوعات کثیر الانتشار ، کربلایی کاظم معجزه پیش آمده قرآنی را به اطلاع عموم مردم کشور و نیز به اطلاع شخصیت های علمی و فرهنگی جهان اسلام رسانید و در ادامه با سفر به استان خراسان ، سمنان ، نیشابور ، سبزوار ، دامغان ، قوچان و شهر مشهد با استقبال بی نظیری از کربلایی کاظم، مردم و علماء از نزدیک با معجزه بزرگ قرآن آشنا شدند . بعد از افشاء معجزه حافظ و عالم شدن کربلایی کاظم به قرآن کریم در سال 1308 شمسی ، علماء تشیع و تسنن در نجف ، در کویت ، در مصر ، در قم ، در تهران ، خراسان و بسیاری از شهرهای دیگر ایران از کربلایی دعوت به مباحثه می نمودند و روزنامه های کثیر الانتشار مثل روزنامه اطلاعات و روزنامه ندای حق خبر این ملاقات ها و جلسلت را پی در پی انتشار می دادند که عباس غله زاری در تهیه و نشر این گزارشات نقش جدی و عاشقانه ای را ایفا نمود . شهید نواب صفوی او را با خود به تهران برد و روزنامه‌نگاران كیهان، اطلاعات، تهران مصور و خواندنی‌ها را دعوت كرد و با آنها با وی مصاحبه‌ای به عمل آورد و در جرائد آن روز منتشر نمودند. پس چون عازم مشهد مقدس شدند، وی را با خود به مشهد بردند و هنگامی كه در شهرهای سمنان، دامغان، شاهرود، سبزوار و نیشابور مورد استقبال مردم قرار گرفتند، آن شهید بزرگوار، وی را معرفی می‌كردند تا مردم با دیدن این معجزة، دین و ایمانشان تقویت شده، ارادة ایشان در عمل كردن به دستورات دین و مبارزه با طاغوت قوی‌تر گردد. در مشهد به مهدیّة مرحوم حاج آقا عابدزاده وارد می‌شوند و همان روز علما، فرهنگیان و دیگر مردم می‌آیند و از حافظ قرآن دربارة آیات قرآن، سؤال می‌كنند. آیت‌الله سیّد هبةالدین شهرستانی كه مقیم بغداد بودند در سفر به مشهد مقدس، در راه بازگشت در شهر كنگاور با حافظ قرآن برخورد و پس از امتحانات بسیار او را با خود به عراق بردند. علما و حافظان قرآن ـ از شیعه و اهل سنت ـ را جمع و با او تذكره نمودند و همگی ضمن ابراز تعجّب آن را امری عجیب می‌دانستند. در كربلا در منزل آیت‌الله میراز مهدی شیرازی، حضرات آیات آیت‌الله حاج سیّد ابوالقاسم خویی و حاج سیّد هادی میلانی و دیگران اجتماع و هر سؤالی از قرآن از وی‌كردند، بدون تأمل و به صورت دقیق پاسخ می‌گفت. حتی کار به جایی رسید که محمد رضا شاه بعد از اطلاع از این اتفاق از طریق یکی از استانداران و یکی از فرمانداران وقت خود پیامی برای کربلایی محمد کاظم کریمی ساروقی فرستاد مبنی بر اینکه من شنیده ام که فردی به صورت معجزه حافظ قرآن شده است به او بگویید که به دربار ما بییاید تا مسئولیت قرآنی دربار را به او بسپاریم و همیشه اینجا نزد ما باشند. در ادامه کربلایی کاظم به آن فرماندار اینگونه می گوید که پول او بدرد من نمی خورد. بهتر است آن پول را به خواهرش بدهد چون شنیده ام قمار باز خوب و قهاری است تا از آن استفاده بکند. من از مجتهدین و مراجع پول قبول نمی کنم، حال بییایم و از او پول بگیرم. آن هم پولی حرام. چگونگی تسلط کربلایی کاظم بر قرآن (سطح تسلط او بر قرآن قابل یادگیری و آموختنی نبود ) • بازگویی شماره و مکان قرآن با خواندن آیه سریعا و بدون مکث • خواندن قرآن به صورت وارونه از انتها به ابتدا • تشخیص عبارات قرآن در میان کتابهای عربی و فارسی با دستخطهای یکنواخت سریعا • باز کردن قرآن و نشان دادن مکان آیه تقریباً بدون ورق زدن با هر چاپ قرآنی • تشخیص سریع اختلاط کلمات و آیات قرآنی با همدیگر و باز گویی مکان هر کدام • جستجوی عبارتها و کلمات در قرآن و تعداد و مکان تکرار هر کدام بدون هیچ گونه مکثی • بیان کردن تعداد حروف سوره‌ها و اطلاعاتی در مورد تکرار حرفها و... • تشخیص قرآنی بودن یا نبودن نوشته های یکسان افراد با توجه به نیات درونی آنها • اطلاع داشتن در اسرار قرآن و خواص آیات تسلط کربلایی کاظم بر قرآن آموختنی نبود که بتوان معجزه بودن آن را زیر سوال برد و منکر شد و آن سطح تسلط او بر قرآن را ناشی از نبوغ و یا سعی و تلاش بالایش در یادگیری دانست. کربلایی کاظم با وجود بی سواد بودن، به غیر از آنکه قرآن را از ابتدا به انتها حفظ بود و می خواند، می توانست قرآن را از انتها به ابتدا نیز بخواند. بر تمام کلمات و حروف قرآن تسلطی کامل و عجیب داشت و بر تعداد تکرار کلمات و حتی حروف در هر سوره و در کل قرآن آگاه بود.. برای مثال اگر از او پرسیده می شد که کلمه لم چند بار در قرآن تکرار شده است او سریع و بدون مکث تعداد تکرار آن کلمه و مکان های آن در قرآن را ذکر می کرد و همچنین اگر از تعداد تکرار یک حرف برای مثال تعداد تکرار حرف د در هر سوره ای برای مثال سوره بقره از او سوال می شد او سریعا تعداد تکرار آن حرف را در آن سوره مشخص جواب می داد و بعد از بررسی و شمارش مشخص می شد که جواب او کاملا درست بوده است. آیات قرآن برای او نور می داد و در کتب عربی در هر جا که آیه قرآنی آورده شده بود سریعا پس از ورق زدن کتاب آن آیات قرآنی را نشان می داد و چگونگی توانایی خود بر تشخیص آنها را نورانی بودن آیات قرآن بر خلاف متون غیر قرآنی می دانست که کلمات متون غیر قرآنی برای او تیره بودند. اگر آیه قرآنی برای او خوانده می شد و هر قرآنی به دست او داده می شد ( با تعداد برگهای متفاوت و اندازه متفاوت ) او آن قرآن را مانند استخاره کردن باز می کرد و همان صفحه ای را می آورد که آن آیه قرآن در آن صفحه قرار داشت. همچنین اگر کلمه و لغتی عربی که در قرآن مجید آورده شده است برای مثال لغت عربی قل را فردی بر روی کاغذی 2 مرتبه می نوشت، یک بار به نیت قرآنی بودن آن و یک بار به نیت غیر قرآنی بودن( که عرب زبانان در گفتار و نوشتار روزمره خود از آن لغت استفاده می کنند )، اگر آن نوشته به کربلایی کاظم کریمی نشان داده می شد و پرسیده می شد که آیا این نوشته ها قرآن است و یا خیر، کربلایی کاظم قرآنی بودن یکی و قرآنی نبودن دیگری را تشخیص می داد و بیان می کرد، از نویسنده آن دو کلمه ( هر فردی می توانست باشد) سوال که می شد او بر صحت تشخیص کربلایی کاظم تصدیق می نمود که کدام را به نیت قرآنی و کدام را به نیت غیر قرآنی نوشته است. از کربلایی کاظم که چگونگی توانایی اش بر تشخیص قرآنی بودن یکی و غیر قرآنی بودن دیگری را که سوال می نمودند با آنکه کاتب و نویسنده آن دو کلمه، از نیت خود چیزی را بر زبان نیاورده بود، کربلایی کاظم چنین می گفت که آن لغتی که به نیت قرآنی نوشته شده است (برای مثال لغت قل ) در نظر من نورانی است و روشن است و آن لغت قل که به نیت غیر قرآنی نوشته شده است تیره می باشد و نور نمی دهد. حال هر لغتی از قرآن و توسط هر فردی اگر یک بار به نیت قرآنی و یک بار نیز به نیت غیر قرآنی نوشته می شد و بدون آنکه نویسنده آن دو لغت یکسان، از نیت خود چیزی بگوید، قرآنی بودن یکی و غیر قرآنی بودن دیگری را کربلایی کاظم به درستی تشخیص می داد و نویسنده آن لغات صحت گفتار کربلایی کاظم را تصدیق می نمود. محمد کاظم کریمی ( معروف به کربلایی کاظم ) بعد از افشاء معجزه قرآنی تا آخر عمر بنا به دعوت علماء و مردم به کشور عراق ، عربستان ، کویت ، مصر و شهرهای بزرگ ایران سفر میکند و با حضور در صدها جلسه عمومی و خصوصی در برابر جمعیت کثیر و علمای اعلام و نیز طلاب پرسشگر به همه سوالات پاسخ می دهد . مثلاً کسی پرسیده آقای کریمی در قرآن کلمه (( الله )) چند دفعه تکرار شده ؟ او بدون لحظه ای تامل تعدادش را می گفته . سوال کنندگان بعدی بدون فرصت دادن نمونه این سوال را می پرسیدنده اند و ایشان فوری پاسخ میداده است . چند فا ؟ چند الف ؟ چند حیم ؟ چند کاف ؟ چند ؟ چند ؟ تعداد همه را بدون تامل می گفته . حتی تعداد هر کلمه از کلمات قرآن را اگر می پرسیدند اعلام میکرده . آیات قرآن« را نیز از آخر به اول میخوانده . کدام حافظ قرآن قادر است چنین پاسخ هایی را بدهد ؟ کدام حافظ قرآن به خود جرات میداده در مدرسه فیضیه قم ، در مدارس علمیه شهر نجف و در محضر علمای اعلام و در میان خبرنگاران داخلی و خارجی ادعا کند هر سوالی از قرآن دارید بپرسید و پاسخ بگیرید ؟ تسلط او بر قرآن فقط محدود به ظواهر آیات نبود بلکه او بر مکی و مدنی بودن آیات، شان نزول آیات، خواص آیات و ... نیز اطلاع و آگاهی داشت و یکی از گلایه های آن مرحوم در اواخر حیاتشان هم همین مطلب بود که چرا فقط از ظواهر قرآن از او پرسیده شد. تسلط کربلایی کاظم فقط بر قرآن بود و هیچ متن و یا کتاب دیگری را به علت بی سواد بودن نمی توانست بخواند. اقداماتی که تاکنون در جمهوری اسلامی ایران در راستای معرفی این معجزه انجام گرفته است 1- پخش ویژه برنامه ای در مورد این معجزه نزول مجدد غیبی قرآن در ماههای مبارک رمضان، هر سال از شبکه سراسری صدا و سیمای جمهوری اسلامی ایران 2- نوشتن چندین جلد کتاب در مورد این اتفاق برای گروههای سنی مختلف 3- بر پایی کنگره بین المللی کربلایی کاظم کریمی ساروقی با حضور علما و شخصیت های داخلی و خارجی 59 کشور جهان اسلام در مرداد ماه سال 1386 در اراک. 4- ساخت فیلمی بر اساس داستان حقیقی زندگی کربلایی کاظم کریمی ساروقی 5- نشر و معرفی این اتفاق توسط خبرگزاری های مختلف خبری اینترنتی ایرانی 6- انجام مصاحبه های متعدد با فرزند ارشد ذکور کربلایی کاظم کرمی ساروقی در دانشگاهها و ... 7- برپایی نکوداشت های کربلایی کاظم کریمی ساروقی در نقاط مختلف ایران 8- رونمایی از تندیس یادبود کربلایی کاظم ساروقی در شهرستان اراک 9- رو نمایی از تمبر یادبود کربلایی کاظم کریمی ساروقی 10- ثبت در فهرست آثار ملي كشور به عنوان ميراث معنوي استان مركزي و تلاش برای ثبت جهاني اين واقعه مهم . هدف خداوند از بروز این معجزه و استفاده ای که نسل امروز و نسل های بعدی بشریت می توانند از این اتفاق ببرند: ببینید زمانی که چنین معجزه ای در روستای ساروق اتفاق می افتد ، حدود یک هزار و سیصد سال از نزول قرآن« بر پیامبر اکرم گذشته است و دنیای قدیم جای خود را به دنیای نو و دنیای دانش و پیشرفت داده است . قرآن کریم از یک سو اسیر دست کج فهمی و ساده انگاری مسلمانان قرار گرفته ( و قالَ الرَسولُ یا رَبِ اِنَ قوم اتخذوا هذا القرآن مهجورا )) و اختلافات در امت پیامبر اسلام وارد شده است و از سوی دیگر مورد استهزاء در مکاتب ضد دین واقع بوده ... مانند مکتب مارکسیسم و... و میرفت تا قرآن« در انزوای کامل قرار گیرد . اینجا بود که خداوند برای محافظت از قرآن« به میانه آمد : (( انا نحن نزلنا الذکر و انا له لحافظون )) و قرآن را بگونه ای شگفت انگیز برای بار دوم با حذف مسئولیت رسالت ، بر قلب یک انسان شایسته به نام کربلایی کاظم نازل نمود و خداوند این مرد را تا آخر عمر به داخل کشورهای مطرح اسلامی و شهرهای مهم کشور به حرکت در می آورد تا برای مخالفان و ناآگاهان به قرآن روشن شود قرآن حق است و در طول این مدت تا پایان عمر کربلایی کاظم تسلط او بر قرآن حتی به اندازه ذره ای تضعیف نمی گردد و این موهبت از او گرفته نمی شود . سنریهم ایتنا فی الافاق و فی انفسهم حتی یتبین لهم انه الحق ( سوره کهف آیه 52 ) یعنی : بزودی نشانه هایی را برای اثبات حقانیت قرآن نشان میدهیم در عصر حاضر که انسانها در دنیا با انواع انحرافات فکری و اعتقادی روبرو هستند و ناحق خود را گاها جای حق می نشاند و حق، باطل جلوه داده می شود تا جایی که اخیرا قرآن کریم کتاب خداوند عالم در آمریکا سوزانده می شود و یا در کشوری مانند چین با جمعیتی در حدود یک و نیم میلیارد نفری که با افکار کمونیستی از اساس وجود خداوند را منکر می شوند حال چه برسد به حقانیت رسالت نبی مکرم اسلام و خاتم النبیین حضرت محمد مصطفی (ص)، راه درمان چیست؟ یکی از بهترین و موثرترین راههایی که در بیان حقانیت پیامبری پیامبر بزرگ اسلام حضرت محمد(ص) به عنوان پیامبر بر حق و خاتم الهی و کتاب او قرآن به عنوان کتابی الهی و همچنین دست نخورده و تحریف نشده می توان انجام د اد، معرفی درست معجزه حافظ شدن غیر آموختنی قرآن فرد بی سواد، کربلایی محمد کاظم کریمی ساروقی می باشد. حادثه ای که دهان هر انسان حتی لجوجی را می بندد. نوساناتی را که معرفی و نشر این حادثه در ایران در طول تاریخ بعد از وفات کربلایی کاظم به خود دیده است: پس از فوت کربلایی کاظم در سال 1326 و خاکسپاری ایشان در قبرستان نو شهر قم (( روبروی حرم حضرت معصومه ( س) ))، با توجه به زمان طاغوت بودن آن هنگام و سلطنت محمد رضا شاه، سال به سال ماجرای معجزه پیش آمده برای کربلایی کاظم از اذهان عمومی رخت بر بست و تنها علماء و اغلب طلاب علوم دینی می دانستند چنین معجزه ای در ایران رخ داده است . با وقوع انقلاب اسلامی توجه علماء و عوام مردم به طور کامل به مسائل انقلابی و سیاسی معطوف شد و موضوع کربلایی کاظم حتی از بین خواص نیز رخت بربست تا اینکه در سال 1380 شمسی فیلم داستانی کربلایی کاظم با حمایت همه جانبه حجه الاسلام حاج آقا قرائتی به دست آقای عباس مبشری مدیریت تهیه و کارگردانی گردید و در ادامه با انجام مصاحبه های متعدد با فرزند ارشد کربلایی کاظم آقای حاج اسماعیل کریمی ساروقی روحی جدید در کالبد معرفی و توجه به این آیت و معجزه بزرگ تاریخ اسلام یعنی نزول مجدد غیبی قرآن آن هم در زمانه ما، وارد شد و تلاش بر آن است که انشاء الله هر چه زودتر این اتفاق جهانی شده و بندگان خداوند در اقصی نقاط عالم با این اتفاق عظیم آشنا گشته و موجبات هدایت روز افزون و سریعتر بندگان خداوند به آیین پاک و صراط مستقیم اسلام عزیز فراهم آید. انشاء الله الحمد لله رب العالمین نوشته شده توسط در تاریخ پنجشنبه دهم شهریور 1390 با موضوع کربلایی کاظم در بیان علماء و اشخاص علما و شخصیت های اهل تسنن و تشیع که رخ دادن این معجزه را مورد تایید قرار دادند این ماجرا را افراد زیادی پس از دیدن کربلایی کاظم و انجام امتحانات از او در طی 38 سال، تایید نمودند و اسناد آن موجود می باشد که تعداد قابل توجهی از آن اسناد که مربوط به تصدیق علماء گذشته می باشد به صورت مکتوب بوده و تعدادی از این اسناد نیز ویدیویی می باشند (این اتفاق در سن 27 سالگی برای کربلایی کاظم روی داد و پس از 13 سال مخفی نگاه داشتن آن توسط کربلایی کاظم، در سن 40 سالگی فاش شد و تا پایان عمر او در سن 78 سالگی با او همراه بود. کربلایی کاظم در سال 1300 ه.ق برابر با 1257 ه.ش به دنیا آمد و در سال 1379 ه.ق برابر با 1336 ه.ش از دنیا رفت). از جمله علماء و مراجع تقلید عظام گذشته می توان 1- آیت الله العظمی بروجردی،2- امام خمینی، 3- آیت الله امینی صاحب الغدیر، 4- آیت الله مرعشی نجفی، 5- آیت الله میلانی،6- آیت الله حجت کوه کمری، 7- آیت الله خوانساری، 8- آیت الله سید احمد زنجانی، 9- آیت الله دستغیب،10- آیت الله صدر،11- آیت الله فاضل لنکرانی و ... را نام برد. از جمله علماء و مراجع تقلید زنده فعلی که در زمان جوانی خود کربلایی کاظم را از نزدیک دیده اند و مورد امتحان و تصدیق قرار داده اند می توان افراد ذیل را نام برد: 1- رهبر معظم انقلاب آیت الله خامنه ای ۲- آیت الله مکارم شیرازی ۳- آیت الله خزعلی ۴- آیت الله شبیری زنجانی ۵- آیت الله نوری همدانی ۶- آیت الله سبحانی ۷- آیت الله وحید خراسانی ۸- آیت الله مصباح یزدی ۹- آیت الله استادی ۱۰- آیت الله صافی گلپایگانی ۱۱- آیت الله مقتدایی ۱۲- آیت الله محفوظی ۱۳- آیت الله شاه آبادی ۱۴- آیت الله مظاهری ۱۵- آیت الله گرامی ۱۶- آیت الله سیستانی همچنین کربلایی محمد کاظم کریمی به همراه شهید نواب صفوی به کشور مصر رفت و همچنین به کشور عراق، کویت و عربستان سفر نمود و مورد امتحان و تایید مسلمانان اهل سنت نیز قرار گرفت. صدای این معجزه بزرگ تا آنجا اوج گرفت که امیر کویت و دانشگاه الازهر مصر کربلایی کاظم را به کشور کویت و کشور مصر دعوت نمودند و ایشان دعوت آنان را اجابت نمود و به تمام سوالات علماء و دانشمندان این دو کشور پاسخهای حیرت انگیز داد و مورد تایید آنها نیز قرار گرفت. امیر كویت از ایشان دعوت رسمی نمود و پس از رفتن او به كویت، امیر كویت تقاضای اقامت او را نمود تا كاخی را با همة امكانات در اختیار او گذارده تا طلابی كه قرآن را حفظ می‌كنند در نزد او مشغول باشند ولی علمای عراق این امر را صلاح ندانستند و ایشان به عراق و بعد به ایران و قم بازگشت. خلاصه اینکه تمامی علمای تشیع و تسنن اعلام داشتند ، کربلایی کاظم یک فرد عادی نیست ، بلکه معجزه ی بزرگ قرآن کریم است که بعد از پیامبر اکرم ، اینگونه قرآن کریم ، یکجا بر قلب او نازل شده است . بعضا میگویند معجزه بزرگ قرآن در قرن بیستم . اما باید گفت حافظ و عالم شدن محمد کاظم کریمی ساروقی به قرآن کریم در کمتر از چند دقیقه ، بعد از نزول قرآن کریم بر پیامبر اسلام ، بزرگترین معجزه بزرگ قرآن در طول تاریخ اسلام است . آیت الله مرعشی نجفی (ره) در طول یک ماه قرآن موجود را با قرآنی که به کربلایی محمد کاظم کریمی داده شده و القاء شده بود مقایسه نمود و دیدند که در کل قرآن، حتی کلمه ای بین قرآن موجود و قرآنی که کربلایی کاظم می خواند تفاوت وجود ندارد و تنها چند حرکت فتحه، کسره و ضمه تفاوت وجود داشت. در حال حاضر دستونشته هایی از علما در مورد تایید این اتفاق وجود دارد که در زیر به آنها اشاره می گردد. آیت الله بروجردی و کربلایی کاظم در جلسه ای مرحوم آیة الله العظمی بروجردی آیاتی را از حافظ قرآن پرسیدند و او بدون معطلی پاسخ گفت . سپس آیة الله آیه ای تلاوت می کند ، کربلایی کاظم میگوید : آقا ، آیه آنطور که خواندید نیست . آقا می فرماید : من هم اشتباه خواندم ؟ عرض کرد : بلی آقا ، شما مجتهد و مرجع تقلید هستید ، ولی آیه آن گونه که خواندید نیست بلکه این طور است . سپس قرآن آوردند و دیدند که حافظ قرآن درست گفته است . در موارد خلاف بین قراء سبعه ، مرحوم آیة الله بروجردی نظر کربلایی کاظم را جویا می شدند و قرائت او برایشان معتبر و قابل اعتماد بود و در موردی فرمودند : ما سوره حمد را نمی توانیم به قهقرا بخوانیم ، ولی او سوره بقره را می تواند از انتها به اول بخواند. کربلایی کاظم در جلسه ای و در حضور علماء قم به حضرت آیت اله بروجردی میگوید : شما ساعت ها از من سوال کردید در مورد قرآن و من همه را جواب دادم . اکنون من یک سوال می پرسم و شما جواب بدهید . از آقای بروجردی می پرسد :کدام سوره از سوره های قرآن است که خداوند هفت حرف از حروف عربی را در آیاتش نازل نکرده است و آن هفت حرف مربوط به هفت طبقه جهنم می باشد که خداوند از سوره حمد آنها را برداشته است . آیت الله و دیگران که از پاسخ دادن عاجز می مانند از ایشان در خواست می کنند پاسخ سوال را خود بگوید . کربلایی کاظم می گوید : و آن سوره حمد است که همیشه در نماز می خوانید و آن هفت حرف : ( ث ، ج ، خ ، ذ ، ش ، ظ ، ف ) می باشد و تفسیر و علت نازل نشدن این حروف در سوره حمد چنین می گوید که ث از ثبورا می آید که در سوره فرقان قرار دارد و مکان افرادی است که نماز نمی خوانند و در طبقه زیرین جهنم است، ج از جهنم است، خ که از خسران می آید، ذ از ذقوم می آید که خوراک اهل جهنم بوده و در سوره دخان قرار دارد، ش از شیطان می آید، ظ هم از لظا می آید که آتش سوزانی است که در جهنم قرار دارد و به یک لحظه انسان را ذوب می کند، ف از فضع اکبر می آید که در سوره انبیاء قرار دارد که در روز قیامت مردم در فضع اکبر هستند که خداوند با آنها چه می کند؟ - به نقل از روزنامه ندای حق شماره 44 – سال 1344 آیت الله خامنه ای و کربلایی کاظم حضرت آیت الله خامنه ای در دیدار با فرزند کربلایی کاظم در تاریخ 01/03/85 مرحوم کربلایی کاظم را من در حرم حضرت علی بن موسی الرضا (ع) در دیده بودم ، در کنار مناره مسجد گوهر شاد نشسته بود . قرآنش هم دستش بود ، هر کس هر آیه ای را می پرسید با این که اصلا سواد نداشت قرآنش را باز میکرد و با دستش آن آیه را نشان می داد . این را من خودم دیدم و امتحان کردم این سماعی نبود . مرحوم کربلایی کاظم همان کسی است که بیسواد و در جوانی بر اثر یک توسل به امامزادگانی که در ساروق است حافظ قرآن شد ، بنده هم رفتم آن امامزادگان را زیارت کردم ، آن شبستانی که ایشان شب در آنجا بیتوته کردند و در همان جا هم مشرف به حمل قرآن شدند را بنده رفته و دیده ام . آیت الله بروجردی ایشان را امتحان و تایید کرده بودند . موقعی که شهید نواب صفوی، کربلایی محمد کاظم را به مشهد آوردند و در بالای منبر او را به علما معرفی کردند از کربلایی سؤالهایی درباره قرآن و آیات قرآن کردم و حافظ قرآن شدن ایشان را جزو کرامات دیدم آیت الله سید محمد جواد علوی طباطبایی بروجردی و کربلایی کاظم نوه آیت الله العظمی بروجردی مرحوم آقای سید اسماعیل علوی، پسر عموی پدر بنده و برادرزادة حضرت آیت ‌الله بروجردی ـ‌ رحمة ‌الله‌ علیه‌ ـ بود. ایشان رئیس ادارۀ ثبت اراك بودند؛ ازاین ‌رو با مرحوم كربلایی كاظم آشنایی پیدا كردند و بی‌درنگ ایشان را به قم نزد مرحوم پدر ما آوردند و به وسیلۀ ایشان خدمت آیت ‌الله بروجردی رسیدند. مرحوم آیت‌الله بروجردی ذاتاً فرد زود باوری نبودند؛ هر ادعایی را به‌ سادگی نمی ‌پذیرفتند و در این زمینه بسیار دقت می ‌كردند.از آنجا که بنده در آن زمان، مدرسه می ‌رفتم، در نخستین جلسه ‌ای كه کربلایی کاظم را خدمت ایشان آورده بودند، حاضر نبودم. پدر من در همان زمان،‌ داستان آن جلسه را برای برخی از دوستانی كه برای دیدن مرحوم كربلایی كاظم به منزل ما می آمدند، از جمله حضرت امام ـ ‌رحمة‌ا لله ‌علیه‌ـ نقل می كردند. ایشان می‌ فرمودند که مرحوم آیت ‌الله بروجردی در آن جلسه سؤالات مختلفی از کربلایی کاظم پرسیده بودند. خود ایشان حافظ بسیاری از آیات قرآن بودند؛ چنان‌ که پدرم می فرمودند: بیش از یک‌ سوم قرآن را حفظ بودند. ایشان آیه ‌ای را می خواندند و مرحوم كربلایی كاظم ادامۀ آن را تلاوت می‌ کرد؛ همان گونه كه در آن زمان معمول بود. پدرم نقل می كردند که حتی آیت ‌الله بروجردی برخی از آیات را به هم می چسباندند؛ ابتدای یک آیه، بخشی از وسط آیۀ دیگر و انتهای آیۀ دیگری را به هم می‌ چسباندند و به عنوان یک آیه می خواندند. كربلایی كاظم با همان زبان خودش می گفت: آیه این نیست.قسمت اول را به همراه دنباله‌ اش می ‌خواند و شمارۀ آیه و نام سوره ‌اش را هم می ‌گفت.سپس بخش وسطی را با قبل و بعد آن می ‌خواند و بعد بخش انتهایی را به همین ترتیب بیان می ‌کرد. در نتیجه ایشان از همان جلسۀ اول نزد آیت ‌الله بروجردی جلوه كردند. مرحوم کربلایی کاظم بسیار مورد توجه آیت ‌الله بروجردی قرار گرفته بود؛ به گونه‌ای که گاهی در حدود دو ساعت می نشستند و با هم صحبت می كردند. این امر برای من جای پرسش داشت؛ چون آن زمان آیت ‌الله بروجردی، در اوج مرجعیت شیعه و زعامت عامه بود و كربلایی كاظم هم فرد بی ‌سوادی بود که در ظاهر هیچ سنخیتی با ایشان نداشت. من بعد ها از مرحوم آقای سید اسماعیل علوی و پدر خودم پرسیدم كه آیت‌الله بروجردی به چه دلیل چنین توجهی به ایشان داشتند؟ پدر من در پاسخ، بر دو نكته بسیار تأکید می كردند: نخست اینکه آیت‌ الله بروجردی، وجود شخص کربلایی كاظم را حجتی در زمان ما می ‌دانستند.شخصی كه كاملاً بی ‌سواد بود، با عنایت ویژه ‌ای حافظ قرآن شده بود؛ به گونه‌ ای که حتی ویژگی ‌های سوره ‌ها و آیه ‌ها را نیز می‌ شناخت. این امر از آن‌ رو اهمیت داشت که در آن زمان، تفكر ماتریالیستی و مادی ‌گرایانۀ حزب توده، به ویژه در محافل علمی و دانشگاهی بسیار جا افتاده بود. هرچند این حزب سرکوب شده بود، اما مبانی فکری آن در بین جوانان و جامعۀ روشن ‌فكری آن زمان، به تفكر غالب تبدیل شده بود. مرحوم آیت ‌الله بروجردی نیز با دیدگاه گستردۀ خود، به همة جنبه ‌ها توجه داشتند و معتقد بودند كه معرفی مرحوم کربلایی كاظم به جوانان به عنوان حجتی در روزگار ما، كار بسیار مهمی است؛ مطلب دوم كه برای آیت ‌الله بروجردی بسیار مهم بود، بحث تحریف قرآن بود. در بین علمای شیعه اختلاف است كه آیا قرآن تحریف شده است یا خیر. آیت ‌الله بروجردی، خود قایل به عدم تحریف قرآن بودند؛ اما بسیاری از بزرگان ما، مانند مرحوم صاحب كفایه ـ ‌رضوان ‌الله ‌تعالی‌علیه‌ ـ در این مسئله شك و شبهه داشتند. آیت‌الله بروجردی به گونه های مختلف کربلایی کاظم را آزمایش کردند تا اینكه برای ایشان ثابت شد واقعاً قرآن به آن مرحوم عنایت شده است. در این صورت، قرآنی كه به ایشان عنایت شده است، باید همان قرآنی باشد كه به رسول اكرم ـ‌ صلوات ‌الله‌ و سلامه ‌علیه‌ـ نازل شده است و در نتیجه نباید هیچ گونه تحریفی در آن وجود داشته باشد. آیت‌الله بروجردی نیز بار ها همۀ مواردی را كه احتمال تحریف در آنها وجود داشت، از ایشان می ‌پرسیدند و كربلایی كاظم هم که هیچ‌ اطلاعی دربارۀ بحث تحریف قرآن نداشت، فقط آیاتی را كه از او پرسیده می‌ شد، می‌ خواند. آیت ‌الله بروجردی در برخی موارد، بعضی از آیات و سوره ‌ها را چندین بار به گونه‌ های مختلف تغییر می دادند؛ مثلاً کلماتی را که برخی از بزرگان مانند مرحوم میرزا حسین نوری معتقد بودند که جزو قرآن بوده و حذف شده است، در آیه می ‌آوردند و می خواندند. كربلایی كاظم آیه را تصحیح می كرد و می گفت: نه؛ این طور نیست؛ پس از این كلمه، آن كلمه است. بحث اثبات عدم تحریف قرآن، یكی از مسائلی بود كه بسیار مورد عنایت آیت ‌الله بروجردی بود و من شنیدم كه ایشان پس از آشنایی با کربلایی کاظم، قایل شده بودند كه هیچ تحریفی در قرآن صورت نگرفته است و در این زمینه، اطمینان یافته بودند. خود من این خاطره را دارم كه جلسه‌ای در منزل ما برگزار شد و حدود ده تا پانزده نفر از علما همچون حضرت امام، حاج‌ آقا مرتضی حائری و مرحوم حاج فقیهی رشتی، و نیز آقای اسماعیل علوی و کربلایی کاظم حضور داشتند. پس از صرف نهار، نوبت به آزمایش کربلایی کاظم رسید. حاضران كتاب شرح لمعه را برای آزمون انتخاب کردند. این كتاب به زبان عربی است و در جای ‌جای آن، آیه و حدیث نیز هست. این کتاب را پیش روی کربلای کاظم گذاشتند. ایشان دست می گذاشت و متن عربی شهید را رد می كرد؛ چون نمی توانست بخواند؛ روایت ‌ها را هم نمی ‌توانست بخواند و رد می كرد؛ اما وقتی به یك كلمۀ قرآن می ‌رسید، آن را می خواند. آنچه موجب تعجب من بود، این بود كه کلماتی مثل «الله» را که در متن مرحوم شهید و حتی در روایت بود، نمی ‌دید و نمی ‌توانست بخواند؛ اما در آیه قرآن می ‌توانست بخواند. این آزمایش را چندین بار انجام دادند؛ مثلاً مواردی را مشخص كرده بودند كه آیه و روایت به هم آمیخته بود؛ دو کلمۀ یکسان ـ مثلاً «الله»ـ را به او نشان دادند و گفتند كه این «الله» است؛ آن هم «الله» است. کربلایی کاظم گفت: من نمی دانم آنجا چه چیزی است؛ اما به آیه كه می رسم، نور سبزی هست؛ با این نور، من آن آیه را می بینم و می توانم بخوانم؛ اما غیر آن را نمی توانم بخوانم. بنابراین، ایشان این كلمات و نوشته ‌ها را نمی ‌دید؛ بلکه آنچه می دید، ورای نوشته‌ ها بود. با اینكه «الله»همان است كه در قرآن هست، اما کلمۀ الله را در جملۀ «رحم الله» در كلام مرحوم شهید، نمی دید؛ ولی در آیۀ قرآن می دید. من خودم این را در آن جلسه دیدم. به این ترتیب، مرحوم کربلایی کاظم به برکت عنایتی که دربارۀ او شده بود، در مجامع علمی قم در آن زمان، جا افتاد. در حوزه، هر مطلبی به ‌زودی پذیرفته نمی شود؛ هركس ادعایی كند، علما آن را بسیار می ‌سنجند تا جا بیافتد؛ اما داستان کربلایی كاظم و اینکه واقعاً قرآن به او عنایت شده است، در میان علما پذیرفته شد. مرحوم كربلایی كاظم حجتی است برای کسانی که غیر از زندگی ظاهری را نفی می كنند.همچنین مؤمنین و علما که معتقدند لیس العلم بكثرة التفهم والتفهیم، به برکت عنایتی که به ایشان شد، این معنا را به صورت حق الیقین درك كردند. مرحوم كربلایی كاظم از كسانی بود كه باعث شد افراد، آنچه را به صورت علم الیقین باور داشتند، به صورت حق الیقین باور کنند. بنابراین ایشان هم بر حوزه حق دارد، هم بر عامۀ مردم. مرحوم آقای سید اسماعیل علوی نقل می كردند كه وجود ایشان در اراک، تحولی در ایمان مردم و جوانان ایجاد كرد. در آن زمان، جنبه ‌هایی كه موجب روی ‌گردانی جوانان از دین شود، كم نبود و جوان هنگام ورود به دبیرستان و دانشگاه، بی‌درنگ مورد هجمۀ

Supreme Leader Meets with Students on National Day of Fighting Against Global Arrogance The following is the full text of the speech delivered on November 3, 2013 by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a meeting with high school and university students. The meeting was held on the occasion of the \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"National Day of Fighting Against Global Arrogance\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Supreme Leader\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Speech in Meeting with Students on \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"National Day of Fighting Against Global ArroganToday, the warm presence of you dear youth in this hussainyyah is a reminder and a manifestation of the epic and enthusiasm which has been the supporter and guarantee of the revolutionary movement of the Iranian nation over the course of many years- from the beginning of the Revolution until today. The great blessing of God on our country and on the Islamic Republic is the existence of youth with their clear, strong and reasonable motives, with their pure hearts and with their sincere intentions. Our meeting today has been scheduled on the anniversary of the events of the 13th of Aban which occurred over the course of different years - before and after the victory of the Revolution in the country. There are three events: Imam\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s exile in the year 1343, the ruthless slaughter of students in Tehran in the year 1357 and the courageous movement of students in capturing the Den of Espionage in the year 1358. Each of these three events was in some way related to the government of the United States of America. In the year 1343, Imam (may God bestow paradise on him) was exiled because of his opposition to \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"capitulation\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", which meant preserving the security of American agents in Iran and their judicial immunity. So this event was related to America. In the year 1357, the regime which was dependent on America killed students on the streets of Tehran and the asphalt of these streets was colored with the blood of our teenagers. This was done by America in order to defend the regime which was dependent on it. This event was also related to America. The event in the year 1358 was a counterattack. Our courageous and religious youth attacked the U.S. embassy and discovered the truth and identity of this embassy, which was the Den of Espionage, and presented this fact to people throughout the world. In those days, our youth called the U.S. embassy the \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Den of Espionage\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". Today, after the passage of 30-plus years since that day, the name of U.S. embassies in countries which have the closest relationship with America - that is to say, European countries - has become the den of espionage. This means that our youth are 30 years ahead of the rest of the world. This event was related to America as well. These three events were related, in different ways, to the government of the United States of America and its relations with Iran. Therefore, the 13th of Aban - which is tomorrow - was named \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Day of Fighting Against Arrogance\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". What does arrogance mean? Arrogance is a Quranic term. The word \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"arrogance\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" has been used in the Holy Quran. An arrogant individual, an arrogant government and an arrogant group of people means those individuals and those governments which intend to interfere in the affairs of other human beings and other nations. They interfere in all the affairs of other nations in order to preserve their own interests. They think they are free to do anything and they grant themselves the right to impose different things on other nations and to interfere in the affairs of other countries. And they do not answer to anyone. This is the meaning of arrogance. At the opposite end of the scale, there is a group of people who fight against arrogance. What does fighting against arrogance mean? Primarily, it means refusing to give in to this bullying. The meaning of fighting against arrogance is not convoluted and it is not complicated. Fighting against arrogance means the refusal of a nation to give in to the interference and imposition of an arrogant power, individual or government. This is the meaning of fighting against arrogance. By Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor, when I have the opportunity in the future, I will have a detailed discussion about arrogance and fighting against arrogance with you youth and students. Now, there is no time. This is a brief definition of arrogance and fighting against arrogance. The people of Iran consider themselves to be fighters against arrogance because they have not given in to the imposition of the government of America. The government of America is an arrogant government. It grants itself the right to interfere in the affairs of other countries. It wages wars and it interferes in the affairs of other countries. Today, you see that this goes beyond the borders of Asian, African and Latin American countries. It has reached Europe. They interfere in their affairs as well. The Iranian nation stood against the arrogance that the government of the United States of America showed. It stood against the interference and bullying that it caused and it stood against the domination that it had achieved over our dear country in the course of many years. The taghuti and monarchical regime was a regime which was dependent on America without any domestic support. By relying on America, they did whatever they wanted in Iran. They oppressed the people, they usurped their rights, they practiced discrimination among them. They prevented the country from achieving growth and making progress - which was the natural and historical right of the people - in order to promote the interests of America in Iran. The Iranian nation stood firm and it carried out a revolution. Then, it cut out the roots of arrogant powers in the country. It was not like a number of other countries which confronted arrogance at first, but which left it unfinished. Of course, these countries have received a blow because of this. When I was present in a country - whose name I do not want to mention - which had fought against the English for many years, which had put an end to the oppression of the English by fighting against them and which had achieved independence, I saw that they had put up the statue of an English commander in an important recreational center. I said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"What is this?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" And this center was named after this arrogant and colonialist commander who had committed thousands of crimes in that country. Of course, they did not gain any benefit from this consideration and compromise. That is to say, this country was and still is under pressure. Compromising and showing leniency towards arrogant powers will bring no benefit for any country. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the great Revolution carried out by the people of Iran confronted American arrogance and it did not leave this task unfinished because it had felt the blow which the Americans had dealt, over many years, on its skin and flesh. It knew who and what these people are. The arrogant outlook which the Americans have adopted and which has continued since decades ago until today has made all nations in the world have a feeling of mistrust and hatred towards the government of America. This is not particular to our country. Any nation which trusted America received a blow, even those who were America\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s friends. In our county, Dr. Mosaddeq trusted and relied on the Americans so that he could free himself from the pressure of the English. Instead of helping Dr. Mosaddeq who had trusted them, the Americans allied themselves with the English. They dispatched their agents to our country and they launched the coup d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'état of the 28th of Mordad. Mosaddeq trusted them and he received a blow for that. Even those who were on friendly terms with America and who had trusted this country received a blow. The taghuti regime had a very close relationship with America. However, the greed of America exhausted them as well. As I said, they imposed \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"capitulation\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" - the judicial immunity of American agents - on this regime and they had to accept this because they had no other source of support except for America. The meaning of capitulation is that if an American sergeant slaps a high-ranking Iranian officer across the face, no one has the right to sue him. If an American agent of low rank shows transgression towards a honorable Iranian man or woman, no one has the right to sue him. The Americans say, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"You do not have the right to do this. We ourselves will resolve the issue\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". A people cannot be humiliated more than this. They imposed this on Iran which was their friend. They did not even show mercy to their friend. They threw Mohammad Reza out of their country after he fled from Iran and spent a short time in America. They did not let him stay. They did not show even this bit of loyalty to him. They are such people. Nations and even governments do not trust America because of this behavior and this attitude which can be seen in its policies. Anyone who trusted America received a blow. Therefore, today, America is the most hated global power among nations. If a fair and healthy public opinion poll is carried out among all nations in the world, I do not think that the negative scores of any nation equal the negative scores of the government of America. Today, this is the condition of America throughout the world. You have heard the statements that the Europeans make against the Americans. Therefore, the issue of fighting against arrogance and \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"The National Day of Fighting against Arrogance\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" is a fundamental issue, one that is based on correct analyses and statements. And you dear youth and the millions of youth throughout the country, who are students like you, should have a correct analysis of these events. Well, the youth of the early years of the Revolution did not need analyses. Everything was clear to them because they had witnessed everything with their own eyes. They had witnessed the presence of the Americans and SAVAK, which had been taught by the Americans themselves. But today, you should think, analyze and be careful. This should not be only in words. It should be clear why the people of Iran are opposed to arrogance, why they are opposed to the positions of the United States of America and what their hatred results from. Today\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s youth should understand this correctly by carrying out research. Well, I would like to raise a few points about our current issues with America, which is a source of discussions these days. There are certain questions in the minds of the people. First, I want to offer an important and necessary piece of advice: no one should think that the negotiating team of our country have compromised with the other party which includes America - the six governments which are known as the P5+1. This is wrong. They are the agents of the Islamic Republic of Iran. They are our own children and they are the children of the Revolution. They are carrying out a mission and the responsibility which they have undertaken is difficult. They are carrying out this responsibility, which falls on their shoulders, with many efforts. Therefore, one should not weaken and insult them and use certain terms - which we sometimes hear such as the notion that they have compromised with the enemy and other such things - against an agent who is carrying out a task and who is in charge of an affair. The things that are said against them are not true. You should pay attention to the fact that the current negotiations with these six countries - including America - are only about the nuclear issue and nothing else. In the beginning of this year, I said in Holy Mashhad that there is nothing wrong with negotiations on particular issues. But I said that I do not trust these negotiations and I am not optimistic about them. However, if they want to negotiate, they can do it and, by Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor, we will not suffer a loss in these negotiations. The Iranian nation benefits from a certain experience which I will refer to in brief. This experience will increase the intellectual capability of our nation, like the experience that we gained in the year 1382 and 1383 in the area of suspending our enrichment activities. At that time, during negotiations with the Europeans, the Islamic Republic agreed to suspend its enrichment activities for a while. But this turned out to be to our benefit. Why? It is because we found out there is no hope at all that our western partners will cooperate with us if we suspend our enrichment activities. If we had not accepted that optional suspension - of course, it was imposed in a way, but we and our officials accepted it anyway - some people would have said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"If you had retreated a little bit, all problems would have been solved and Iran\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s nuclear file would have become normal\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". That act of suspending our enrichment activities brought us this advantage: it became clear that problems will not be solved by retreating, suspending enrichment activities, postponing our work and cancelling many of our plans and programs. It became clear that the other side is after something else. We noticed this and therefore we started our enrichment activities again. Today, the condition of the Islamic Republic has dramatically changed compared to its condition in the year 1382. In those days, we used to bargain for two, three centrifuges, but today several thousand centrifuges are working. Our youth, our scientists, our researchers and our officials made great efforts and moved things forward. Therefore, we will not suffer a loss as a result of today\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s ongoing negotiations. Of course, as I said, I am not optimistic and I do not think that these negotiations will produce the results which the Iranian nation expects. However, it is an experience. This will broaden and strengthen the experience of the Iranian nation. It is alright to hold these negotiations, but it is necessary for the Iranian nation to be vigilant. We strongly support our officials, who are active in the camp of diplomacy, but our people should be vigilant. They should know what is happening so that some mercenary promoters of the enemy and some promoters who receive no rewards and who further the goals of the enemy out of naivety cannot mislead public opinion. They want to instill the idea into the minds of the people that if we surrender to the other side on the nuclear issue, all economic, financial and other such problems will be solved. This is one of the methods which they use and one of the lies which they spread. They are promoting this idea. Of course, foreign promoters promote such ideas with very efficient methods. Inside the country too, some people promote the idea that if we back down and surrender to the other side on this issue, all economic and other such problems will be solved. Some of these people do it out of naivety without any bad intention and some people promote this idea intentionally. However, this idea is wrong. Why is it wrong? There are a few reasons why it is wrong. I would like you - including the people who are present in this meeting, our wise, well-informed and highly motivated youth and our university and school students throughout the country - to think about such issues. As I once said, you are the officers of the soft war. One reason is that the enmity of America towards the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic is not at all about the nuclear issue. It is wrong to think that America\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s hostility towards us is based on the nuclear issue. This is not the case. The nuclear issue is an excuse. Even long before the nuclear issue - that is to say, since the beginning of the Revolution - these hostilities and oppositions existed. Even if one day the nuclear issue is resolved - imagine that the Islamic Republic retreats, which is the thing they want - you should not think that these hostilities will be over. No, they will gradually make tens of other excuses. For example, they will say, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"why do you have missiles?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"why do you have drones?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"why are you on unfriendly terms with the Zionist regime?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"why do you not officially recognize the Zionist regime?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"why do you support resistance groups?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" in, as they call it, the Middle East region and why and why and why... The issue is not that they have disagreements with the Islamic Republic about its nuclear program. This is not the case. America\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s sanctions began since the beginning of the Revolution and these sanctions increased on a daily basis so much so that today, it has reached a high level. They showed other kinds of hostility as well. They brought down a plane which belonged to the Islamic Republic and they killed 290 humans. During the early years of the Revolution, when the people were still enthusiastic about the victory of the Revolution, they launched the coup d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'état based in Shahid Nojeh military base. They launched a coup d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'état against the Revolution and they supported anti-revolutionary elements in different corners of the country. They gave weapons and other such things to the anti-revolutionary camp. This is the same thing that they did in other countries later on. Their enmity is not based on the nuclear issue. The issue is something else. The Iranian nation said no to the requests of America. The Iranian nation said that America cannot do a damn thing against us. The Americans are opposed to the identity of the Islamic Republic. They are opposed to the influence and power of the Islamic Republic. Recently, one of the American politicians and intellectuals said - his speech was broadcast and this is not a confidential issue - that Iran is dangerous, no matter if it is atomic or non-atomic. This person openly said that the influence and power of Iran - as they say, the hegemony of Iran - is dangerous in the region. This is the kind of Iran which enjoys dignity, respect and power today. They are opposed to this kind of Iran. They will be satisfied when Iran becomes a weak, abandoned, isolated, untrustworthy and humiliated nation. Their enmity is not based on the nuclear issue. This is one point. Another point is that in order to solve the economic issues of the country, all our efforts should be focused on domestic issues. The kind of progress and the kind of solution is valuable which is reliant on the domestic power of a nation. If a people rely on their own power and capabilities, they will no more descend into chaos when another country frowns at and imposes sanctions on them. We should solve this. All that we want to say to officials - whether past or present officials - is that they should look at domestic capabilities in order to resolve the issues and the problems of the country including economic problems. We have certain capacities in the country. These capacities - which include human, natural and geographical resources and regional location - should be utilized. Of course, we support diplomatic dynamism. When we say problems should be solved from the inside, this does not mean that we should close our eyes, that we should not benefit from diplomatic dynamism and that we should not interact with the world. Diplomatic dynamism and diplomatic presence are very necessary. The officials who do these things are part of the work, but we should rely on domestic issues. In diplomatic arenas, that country can be successful which relies on its innate power. That government which relies on its innate power and innate capacities can make others accept what it says at the negotiating table and achieve the desired results. Such governments are taken into consideration. An important point which should receive attention in this regard is that we have never become desperate in the face of our enemies during these years and we will never become desperate in the future. During the first decade after the Revolution, particularly during the first years, we did not have access to many material resources. We did not have money, we did not have weapons, we did not have experience, we did not have organization, we did not have competent armed forces and we did not have military equipment. This was while our enemy was at the peak of his power and capability, whether the enemy which fought against us in the arena of war or the enemy which stood behind him - that is to say, the Ba\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ath regime of Saddam and America, NATO and the Soviet Union of those days. At that time, the Reagan administration was one of the strongest and most powerful governments throughout the world in political and military arenas. This was while we lived in poverty and with difficult conditions, but they could not do anything to us. Today, the situation has changed. Today, the Islamic Republic has weapons. Today, it has money, it has science, it has technology, it has the power to produce, it has international dignity, it has millions of youth who are ready to work and it has millions of talents. Today, we have such a condition. Today, our condition cannot at all be compared with 30 years ago. This is while the situation is the exact opposite of this for the opposing camp. In those days, the Americans were at the peak of their power, but today they are not. Recently, one of the current American government officials, who is a well-known personality, said that today America has reached a point where its friends do not respect it and its enemies do not fear it. It was he who said this, not us. They themselves mention such things. Recently, they have had some political problems. You have seen the disagreement of American politicians about the government\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s budget which shut down the government for 16, 17 days. They sent 800,000 employees on involuntary leave. This is a weakness. This is inefficiency. They have the biggest economic and financial problems. Our problems are nothing compared to their problems. And I will tell you that in the year 2001 or 2002 of the Christian calendar - that is to say, 10, 11 years ago - the financial officials of America made a certain prediction. They predicted that in the year 2011 or 2012, they would have a surplus of 14 trillion dollars. Pay careful attention to this. In 2001, their prediction for 2011 and 2012 was this: they said that in 2011 and 2012 they would have a surplus of 14 trillion dollars. Now, it is 2013, but they have a deficit of around 17 trillion dollars and they do not have any surplus. That is to say, they miscalculated this figure up to 30 trillion dollars. This is their economic condition. This is the way they calculate. This is the condition in the opposing camp. Moreover, as you can see, they have many disagreements. It is mutual interests which have connected them - the Americans and the Europeans - to one another. Otherwise, deep inside, they are on unfriendly terms. The French nation hates the Americans. In different events such as the issue of Syria, the Americans could not establish a partnership with a government which has the closest relationship with them. That is to say, even the English said that we would not take part in this issue. This is while about 40 governments cooperated with them when they attacked Iraq. When they attacked Afghanistan, about 30 governments cooperated with them. The Americans have such a condition in the present time. We have a very good condition. We have made progress, we have become powerful and our people have become a well-informed people. Of course, they exert pressures on us. We should endure and pass through these pressures by relying on our domestic capabilities. This is a wise thing to do and it is being done. Of course, as I said earlier - and I would like to repeat this - we approve of the efforts that the honorable administration and the officials of the country are making. This is an important task and experience and it is most probably a valuable course of action. They can do this. If they achieve results, then so much the better. But if they do not achieve results, this should mean that the county must stand on its own feet in order to solve its problems. I would like to repeat my previous advice: you should not trust the enemy which smiles at you. We would like to offer this advice to our officials, who are our children. Those officials who are working in the arena of diplomacy are our own children and our own youth. This is our advice to them: you should take care not to be misled by a deceptive smile. You should see the subtleties of the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s plans. Today, the Americans have the most troubles with the deviated Zionist regime- more than any other regime. They have the most consideration for Zionist lobbies. They show consideration for them and we see the situation. The claws of wealthy and powerful Zionist individuals and companies have such domination over the U.S. government and the U.S. Congress that they have to show consideration for them. We do not have to show consideration for the Zionists. Since the first day we said - and we say it today and we will say it in the future - that we consider the Zionist regime to be an illegal and bastard regime. It is a regime which has come into being with conspiracy and it is being preserved and guarded with conspiracy and conspiratorial policies. The Americans show consideration for this regime. The reason why they do this requires another detailed discussion. The money, power and capital of the Zionists is doing a good job and it is influencing these poor Americans. Therefore, the Americans have to show some consideration for them. It is not only the Americans who have such a condition. Many other western politicians, these poor creatures, have the same problem. They too have the same problem. Therefore, our officials should pay attention and they should look at their statements. On the one hand, they smile and they show interest in negotiations and on the other hand, they immediately say, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"All options are on the table\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". So what? What move can they make against the Islamic Republic? If they are serious about these negotiations, they should control themselves. They should stop those people who open their mouth to talk nonsense. A certain wealthy American politician had the audacity to say that they should drop an atomic bomb in such and such a desert in Iran and that they should issue such and such threats. Well, they should smash this person\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s mouth! A government which suffers from the delusion that it has a responsibility towards all the issues in the world and a government which considers itself responsible for dealing with the nuclear issue of such and such a country should not dare to issue nuclear threats - particularly in such a time - against a country with such a good condition. They should stop those people who talk nonsense. Anyway, our people are, thankfully, a vigilant people and our officials are the officials of these people. They too are vigilant and they pay full attention. We support whatever action which is to the benefit of the country and we support, help and pray for those officials who carry out such actions. But we also advise both the people and officials - particularly you dear youth - to open your eyes and ears. Any nation can achieve its lofty goals with wisdom, vigilance and watchfulness. And I hope that, by Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor, the prayers of the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for his sake) will be a source of support for you and I hope that the immaculate soul of Imam and the pure souls of our martyrs pray for you. By Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor, you youth will take the country in your own hands with your enthusiastic spirits and I hope that it will be your turn to reach the peaks with your innovation. Greetings be upon you and Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s mercy and blessings Source: http://english.khamenei.ir//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1837&Itemid=4

The following is the full text of the speech delivered on November 3, 2013 by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a meeting with high school and university students. The meeting was held on the occasion of the \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"National Day of Fighting Against Global Arrogance\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Supreme Leader\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Speech in Meeting with Students on \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"National Day of Fighting Against Global ArroganToday, the warm presence of you dear youth in this hussainyyah is a reminder and a manifestation of the epic and enthusiasm which has been the supporter and guarantee of the revolutionary movement of the Iranian nation over the course of many years- from the beginning of the Revolution until today. The great blessing of God on our country and on the Islamic Republic is the existence of youth with their clear, strong and reasonable motives, with their pure hearts and with their sincere intentions. Our meeting today has been scheduled on the anniversary of the events of the 13th of Aban which occurred over the course of different years - before and after the victory of the Revolution in the country. There are three events: Imam\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s exile in the year 1343, the ruthless slaughter of students in Tehran in the year 1357 and the courageous movement of students in capturing the Den of Espionage in the year 1358. Each of these three events was in some way related to the government of the United States of America. In the year 1343, Imam (may God bestow paradise on him) was exiled because of his opposition to \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"capitulation\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", which meant preserving the security of American agents in Iran and their judicial immunity. So this event was related to America. In the year 1357, the regime which was dependent on America killed students on the streets of Tehran and the asphalt of these streets was colored with the blood of our teenagers. This was done by America in order to defend the regime which was dependent on it. This event was also related to America. The event in the year 1358 was a counterattack. Our courageous and religious youth attacked the U.S. embassy and discovered the truth and identity of this embassy, which was the Den of Espionage, and presented this fact to people throughout the world. In those days, our youth called the U.S. embassy the \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Den of Espionage\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". Today, after the passage of 30-plus years since that day, the name of U.S. embassies in countries which have the closest relationship with America - that is to say, European countries - has become the den of espionage. This means that our youth are 30 years ahead of the rest of the world. This event was related to America as well. These three events were related, in different ways, to the government of the United States of America and its relations with Iran. Therefore, the 13th of Aban - which is tomorrow - was named \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Day of Fighting Against Arrogance\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". What does arrogance mean? Arrogance is a Quranic term. The word \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"arrogance\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" has been used in the Holy Quran. An arrogant individual, an arrogant government and an arrogant group of people means those individuals and those governments which intend to interfere in the affairs of other human beings and other nations. They interfere in all the affairs of other nations in order to preserve their own interests. They think they are free to do anything and they grant themselves the right to impose different things on other nations and to interfere in the affairs of other countries. And they do not answer to anyone. This is the meaning of arrogance. At the opposite end of the scale, there is a group of people who fight against arrogance. What does fighting against arrogance mean? Primarily, it means refusing to give in to this bullying. The meaning of fighting against arrogance is not convoluted and it is not complicated. Fighting against arrogance means the refusal of a nation to give in to the interference and imposition of an arrogant power, individual or government. This is the meaning of fighting against arrogance. By Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor, when I have the opportunity in the future, I will have a detailed discussion about arrogance and fighting against arrogance with you youth and students. Now, there is no time. This is a brief definition of arrogance and fighting against arrogance. The people of Iran consider themselves to be fighters against arrogance because they have not given in to the imposition of the government of America. The government of America is an arrogant government. It grants itself the right to interfere in the affairs of other countries. It wages wars and it interferes in the affairs of other countries. Today, you see that this goes beyond the borders of Asian, African and Latin American countries. It has reached Europe. They interfere in their affairs as well. The Iranian nation stood against the arrogance that the government of the United States of America showed. It stood against the interference and bullying that it caused and it stood against the domination that it had achieved over our dear country in the course of many years. The taghuti and monarchical regime was a regime which was dependent on America without any domestic support. By relying on America, they did whatever they wanted in Iran. They oppressed the people, they usurped their rights, they practiced discrimination among them. They prevented the country from achieving growth and making progress - which was the natural and historical right of the people - in order to promote the interests of America in Iran. The Iranian nation stood firm and it carried out a revolution. Then, it cut out the roots of arrogant powers in the country. It was not like a number of other countries which confronted arrogance at first, but which left it unfinished. Of course, these countries have received a blow because of this. When I was present in a country - whose name I do not want to mention - which had fought against the English for many years, which had put an end to the oppression of the English by fighting against them and which had achieved independence, I saw that they had put up the statue of an English commander in an important recreational center. I said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"What is this?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" And this center was named after this arrogant and colonialist commander who had committed thousands of crimes in that country. Of course, they did not gain any benefit from this consideration and compromise. That is to say, this country was and still is under pressure. Compromising and showing leniency towards arrogant powers will bring no benefit for any country. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the great Revolution carried out by the people of Iran confronted American arrogance and it did not leave this task unfinished because it had felt the blow which the Americans had dealt, over many years, on its skin and flesh. It knew who and what these people are. The arrogant outlook which the Americans have adopted and which has continued since decades ago until today has made all nations in the world have a feeling of mistrust and hatred towards the government of America. This is not particular to our country. Any nation which trusted America received a blow, even those who were America\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s friends. In our county, Dr. Mosaddeq trusted and relied on the Americans so that he could free himself from the pressure of the English. Instead of helping Dr. Mosaddeq who had trusted them, the Americans allied themselves with the English. They dispatched their agents to our country and they launched the coup d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'état of the 28th of Mordad. Mosaddeq trusted them and he received a blow for that. Even those who were on friendly terms with America and who had trusted this country received a blow. The taghuti regime had a very close relationship with America. However, the greed of America exhausted them as well. As I said, they imposed \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"capitulation\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" - the judicial immunity of American agents - on this regime and they had to accept this because they had no other source of support except for America. The meaning of capitulation is that if an American sergeant slaps a high-ranking Iranian officer across the face, no one has the right to sue him. If an American agent of low rank shows transgression towards a honorable Iranian man or woman, no one has the right to sue him. The Americans say, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"You do not have the right to do this. We ourselves will resolve the issue\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". A people cannot be humiliated more than this. They imposed this on Iran which was their friend. They did not even show mercy to their friend. They threw Mohammad Reza out of their country after he fled from Iran and spent a short time in America. They did not let him stay. They did not show even this bit of loyalty to him. They are such people. Nations and even governments do not trust America because of this behavior and this attitude which can be seen in its policies. Anyone who trusted America received a blow. Therefore, today, America is the most hated global power among nations. If a fair and healthy public opinion poll is carried out among all nations in the world, I do not think that the negative scores of any nation equal the negative scores of the government of America. Today, this is the condition of America throughout the world. You have heard the statements that the Europeans make against the Americans. Therefore, the issue of fighting against arrogance and \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"The National Day of Fighting against Arrogance\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" is a fundamental issue, one that is based on correct analyses and statements. And you dear youth and the millions of youth throughout the country, who are students like you, should have a correct analysis of these events. Well, the youth of the early years of the Revolution did not need analyses. Everything was clear to them because they had witnessed everything with their own eyes. They had witnessed the presence of the Americans and SAVAK, which had been taught by the Americans themselves. But today, you should think, analyze and be careful. This should not be only in words. It should be clear why the people of Iran are opposed to arrogance, why they are opposed to the positions of the United States of America and what their hatred results from. Today\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s youth should understand this correctly by carrying out research. Well, I would like to raise a few points about our current issues with America, which is a source of discussions these days. There are certain questions in the minds of the people. First, I want to offer an important and necessary piece of advice: no one should think that the negotiating team of our country have compromised with the other party which includes America - the six governments which are known as the P5+1. This is wrong. They are the agents of the Islamic Republic of Iran. They are our own children and they are the children of the Revolution. They are carrying out a mission and the responsibility which they have undertaken is difficult. They are carrying out this responsibility, which falls on their shoulders, with many efforts. Therefore, one should not weaken and insult them and use certain terms - which we sometimes hear such as the notion that they have compromised with the enemy and other such things - against an agent who is carrying out a task and who is in charge of an affair. The things that are said against them are not true. You should pay attention to the fact that the current negotiations with these six countries - including America - are only about the nuclear issue and nothing else. In the beginning of this year, I said in Holy Mashhad that there is nothing wrong with negotiations on particular issues. But I said that I do not trust these negotiations and I am not optimistic about them. However, if they want to negotiate, they can do it and, by Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor, we will not suffer a loss in these negotiations. The Iranian nation benefits from a certain experience which I will refer to in brief. This experience will increase the intellectual capability of our nation, like the experience that we gained in the year 1382 and 1383 in the area of suspending our enrichment activities. At that time, during negotiations with the Europeans, the Islamic Republic agreed to suspend its enrichment activities for a while. But this turned out to be to our benefit. Why? It is because we found out there is no hope at all that our western partners will cooperate with us if we suspend our enrichment activities. If we had not accepted that optional suspension - of course, it was imposed in a way, but we and our officials accepted it anyway - some people would have said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"If you had retreated a little bit, all problems would have been solved and Iran\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s nuclear file would have become normal\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". That act of suspending our enrichment activities brought us this advantage: it became clear that problems will not be solved by retreating, suspending enrichment activities, postponing our work and cancelling many of our plans and programs. It became clear that the other side is after something else. We noticed this and therefore we started our enrichment activities again. Today, the condition of the Islamic Republic has dramatically changed compared to its condition in the year 1382. In those days, we used to bargain for two, three centrifuges, but today several thousand centrifuges are working. Our youth, our scientists, our researchers and our officials made great efforts and moved things forward. Therefore, we will not suffer a loss as a result of today\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s ongoing negotiations. Of course, as I said, I am not optimistic and I do not think that these negotiations will produce the results which the Iranian nation expects. However, it is an experience. This will broaden and strengthen the experience of the Iranian nation. It is alright to hold these negotiations, but it is necessary for the Iranian nation to be vigilant. We strongly support our officials, who are active in the camp of diplomacy, but our people should be vigilant. They should know what is happening so that some mercenary promoters of the enemy and some promoters who receive no rewards and who further the goals of the enemy out of naivety cannot mislead public opinion. They want to instill the idea into the minds of the people that if we surrender to the other side on the nuclear issue, all economic, financial and other such problems will be solved. This is one of the methods which they use and one of the lies which they spread. They are promoting this idea. Of course, foreign promoters promote such ideas with very efficient methods. Inside the country too, some people promote the idea that if we back down and surrender to the other side on this issue, all economic and other such problems will be solved. Some of these people do it out of naivety without any bad intention and some people promote this idea intentionally. However, this idea is wrong. Why is it wrong? There are a few reasons why it is wrong. I would like you - including the people who are present in this meeting, our wise, well-informed and highly motivated youth and our university and school students throughout the country - to think about such issues. As I once said, you are the officers of the soft war. One reason is that the enmity of America towards the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic is not at all about the nuclear issue. It is wrong to think that America\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s hostility towards us is based on the nuclear issue. This is not the case. The nuclear issue is an excuse. Even long before the nuclear issue - that is to say, since the beginning of the Revolution - these hostilities and oppositions existed. Even if one day the nuclear issue is resolved - imagine that the Islamic Republic retreats, which is the thing they want - you should not think that these hostilities will be over. No, they will gradually make tens of other excuses. For example, they will say, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"why do you have missiles?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"why do you have drones?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"why are you on unfriendly terms with the Zionist regime?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"why do you not officially recognize the Zionist regime?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"why do you support resistance groups?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" in, as they call it, the Middle East region and why and why and why... The issue is not that they have disagreements with the Islamic Republic about its nuclear program. This is not the case. America\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s sanctions began since the beginning of the Revolution and these sanctions increased on a daily basis so much so that today, it has reached a high level. They showed other kinds of hostility as well. They brought down a plane which belonged to the Islamic Republic and they killed 290 humans. During the early years of the Revolution, when the people were still enthusiastic about the victory of the Revolution, they launched the coup d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'état based in Shahid Nojeh military base. They launched a coup d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'état against the Revolution and they supported anti-revolutionary elements in different corners of the country. They gave weapons and other such things to the anti-revolutionary camp. This is the same thing that they did in other countries later on. Their enmity is not based on the nuclear issue. The issue is something else. The Iranian nation said no to the requests of America. The Iranian nation said that America cannot do a damn thing against us. The Americans are opposed to the identity of the Islamic Republic. They are opposed to the influence and power of the Islamic Republic. Recently, one of the American politicians and intellectuals said - his speech was broadcast and this is not a confidential issue - that Iran is dangerous, no matter if it is atomic or non-atomic. This person openly said that the influence and power of Iran - as they say, the hegemony of Iran - is dangerous in the region. This is the kind of Iran which enjoys dignity, respect and power today. They are opposed to this kind of Iran. They will be satisfied when Iran becomes a weak, abandoned, isolated, untrustworthy and humiliated nation. Their enmity is not based on the nuclear issue. This is one point. Another point is that in order to solve the economic issues of the country, all our efforts should be focused on domestic issues. The kind of progress and the kind of solution is valuable which is reliant on the domestic power of a nation. If a people rely on their own power and capabilities, they will no more descend into chaos when another country frowns at and imposes sanctions on them. We should solve this. All that we want to say to officials - whether past or present officials - is that they should look at domestic capabilities in order to resolve the issues and the problems of the country including economic problems. We have certain capacities in the country. These capacities - which include human, natural and geographical resources and regional location - should be utilized. Of course, we support diplomatic dynamism. When we say problems should be solved from the inside, this does not mean that we should close our eyes, that we should not benefit from diplomatic dynamism and that we should not interact with the world. Diplomatic dynamism and diplomatic presence are very necessary. The officials who do these things are part of the work, but we should rely on domestic issues. In diplomatic arenas, that country can be successful which relies on its innate power. That government which relies on its innate power and innate capacities can make others accept what it says at the negotiating table and achieve the desired results. Such governments are taken into consideration. An important point which should receive attention in this regard is that we have never become desperate in the face of our enemies during these years and we will never become desperate in the future. During the first decade after the Revolution, particularly during the first years, we did not have access to many material resources. We did not have money, we did not have weapons, we did not have experience, we did not have organization, we did not have competent armed forces and we did not have military equipment. This was while our enemy was at the peak of his power and capability, whether the enemy which fought against us in the arena of war or the enemy which stood behind him - that is to say, the Ba\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ath regime of Saddam and America, NATO and the Soviet Union of those days. At that time, the Reagan administration was one of the strongest and most powerful governments throughout the world in political and military arenas. This was while we lived in poverty and with difficult conditions, but they could not do anything to us. Today, the situation has changed. Today, the Islamic Republic has weapons. Today, it has money, it has science, it has technology, it has the power to produce, it has international dignity, it has millions of youth who are ready to work and it has millions of talents. Today, we have such a condition. Today, our condition cannot at all be compared with 30 years ago. This is while the situation is the exact opposite of this for the opposing camp. In those days, the Americans were at the peak of their power, but today they are not. Recently, one of the current American government officials, who is a well-known personality, said that today America has reached a point where its friends do not respect it and its enemies do not fear it. It was he who said this, not us. They themselves mention such things. Recently, they have had some political problems. You have seen the disagreement of American politicians about the government\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s budget which shut down the government for 16, 17 days. They sent 800,000 employees on involuntary leave. This is a weakness. This is inefficiency. They have the biggest economic and financial problems. Our problems are nothing compared to their problems. And I will tell you that in the year 2001 or 2002 of the Christian calendar - that is to say, 10, 11 years ago - the financial officials of America made a certain prediction. They predicted that in the year 2011 or 2012, they would have a surplus of 14 trillion dollars. Pay careful attention to this. In 2001, their prediction for 2011 and 2012 was this: they said that in 2011 and 2012 they would have a surplus of 14 trillion dollars. Now, it is 2013, but they have a deficit of around 17 trillion dollars and they do not have any surplus. That is to say, they miscalculated this figure up to 30 trillion dollars. This is their economic condition. This is the way they calculate. This is the condition in the opposing camp. Moreover, as you can see, they have many disagreements. It is mutual interests which have connected them - the Americans and the Europeans - to one another. Otherwise, deep inside, they are on unfriendly terms. The French nation hates the Americans. In different events such as the issue of Syria, the Americans could not establish a partnership with a government which has the closest relationship with them. That is to say, even the English said that we would not take part in this issue. This is while about 40 governments cooperated with them when they attacked Iraq. When they attacked Afghanistan, about 30 governments cooperated with them. The Americans have such a condition in the present time. We have a very good condition. We have made progress, we have become powerful and our people have become a well-informed people. Of course, they exert pressures on us. We should endure and pass through these pressures by relying on our domestic capabilities. This is a wise thing to do and it is being done. Of course, as I said earlier - and I would like to repeat this - we approve of the efforts that the honorable administration and the officials of the country are making. This is an important task and experience and it is most probably a valuable course of action. They can do this. If they achieve results, then so much the better. But if they do not achieve results, this should mean that the county must stand on its own feet in order to solve its problems. I would like to repeat my previous advice: you should not trust the enemy which smiles at you. We would like to offer this advice to our officials, who are our children. Those officials who are working in the arena of diplomacy are our own children and our own youth. This is our advice to them: you should take care not to be misled by a deceptive smile. You should see the subtleties of the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s plans. Today, the Americans have the most troubles with the deviated Zionist regime- more than any other regime. They have the most consideration for Zionist lobbies. They show consideration for them and we see the situation. The claws of wealthy and powerful Zionist individuals and companies have such domination over the U.S. government and the U.S. Congress that they have to show consideration for them. We do not have to show consideration for the Zionists. Since the first day we said - and we say it today and we will say it in the future - that we consider the Zionist regime to be an illegal and bastard regime. It is a regime which has come into being with conspiracy and it is being preserved and guarded with conspiracy and conspiratorial policies. The Americans show consideration for this regime. The reason why they do this requires another detailed discussion. The money, power and capital of the Zionists is doing a good job and it is influencing these poor Americans. Therefore, the Americans have to show some consideration for them. It is not only the Americans who have such a condition. Many other western politicians, these poor creatures, have the same problem. They too have the same problem. Therefore, our officials should pay attention and they should look at their statements. On the one hand, they smile and they show interest in negotiations and on the other hand, they immediately say, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"All options are on the table\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". So what? What move can they make against the Islamic Republic? If they are serious about these negotiations, they should control themselves. They should stop those people who open their mouth to talk nonsense. A certain wealthy American politician had the audacity to say that they should drop an atomic bomb in such and such a desert in Iran and that they should issue such and such threats. Well, they should smash this person\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s mouth! A government which suffers from the delusion that it has a responsibility towards all the issues in the world and a government which considers itself responsible for dealing with the nuclear issue of such and such a country should not dare to issue nuclear threats - particularly in such a time - against a country with such a good condition. They should stop those people who talk nonsense. Anyway, our people are, thankfully, a vigilant people and our officials are the officials of these people. They too are vigilant and they pay full attention. We support whatever action which is to the benefit of the country and we support, help and pray for those officials who carry out such actions. But we also advise both the people and officials - particularly you dear youth - to open your eyes and ears. Any nation can achieve its lofty goals with wisdom, vigilance and watchfulness. And I hope that, by Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor, the prayers of the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for his sake) will be a source of support for you and I hope that the immaculate soul of Imam and the pure souls of our martyrs pray for you. By Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor, you youth will take the country in your own hands with your enthusiastic spirits and I hope that it will be your turn to reach the peaks with your innovation. Greetings be upon you and Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s mercy and blessings

Friends, let this not come as a surprise to you. This is the reality we are living in where it is ‘estimated that one billion people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. That’s roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die from these causes each year. About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger related causes… Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five.’ --HOW YOU CAN HELP -- Don’t waste natural resources. Be thankful to God for His gifts and blessings. Be mindful of your responsibility toward other human beings. Think about what the Prophet (saws) would do. Have mercy and compassion toward all humankind. Next time you spend money on those unnecessary luxuries of your life, think for a moment about the plight of the poor and oppressed around the world. Be aware of the materialistic forces and the contradictions of the dominant economic systems that are at the roots of global inequality. Don’t become a part of this system. Don’t become a slave of consumerism and endless materialistic competition. Understand that it is not enough to just keep yourself from engaging in consumerism. It's not always easy to protect yourself and your family against the multi-billion dollar industry of marketing. Join forces with other like-minded people. Strengthen your communities that can serve as a buffer against corporations. Engage in collective action. Transform people's consciousness and hyper-consumeristic lifestyles. Among other things, join a local organization that is working against subtle forms of oppression, like hunger, poverty, illiteracy, domestic violence, anorexia and bulimia, perfect body images, and endless materialistic competition. If there isn’t any, start one today! For ideas, you can look into doing online activism. Check out moveon.org’s work. Some online organizations also invite web surfers to click on their sites regularly. They say every click earns them revenue to support their causes. The Hunger Site is an example. Some may also invite you to buy their T-shirts and other souvenirs. I guess, you can buy these items if you think they can help spread the word and encourage people to join a good cause. But, in general, more shopping and more consumption cannot be a solution to human suffering. Selling consumers to products through clicks or ads is exactly what we need to shun. Because that feeds into the same loop of consumerism. My suggestion: Donate directly! And, encourage others to do the same! Lastly, remember the advice Imam Ali gave in his Last Will: “My advice to you is to be conscious of Allah and steadfast in your religion. Do not yearn for the world, and do not be seduced by it. Do not resent anything you have missed in it. Proclaim the truth; work for the next world. Oppose the oppressor and support the oppressed.” Become a friend and supporter of oppressed people and an enemy of oppressors and all forms of oppression."

A short lecture by the leading expert on Genetically Modified foods Jeffrey Smith the author of Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette the lecture gives you a summary of what is included in the books this is a must hear for all on the dangers of GM food Google Codex Alimentarius www seedsofdeception com www geneticroulette com www globalresearch ca ____________________________________ he introduction of genetically modified (GM) food and crops has been a disaster. The science of taking genes from one species and inserting them into another was supposed to be a giant leap forward, but instead they pose a serious threat to biodiversity and our own health. In addition, the real reason for their development has not been to end world hunger but to increase the stranglehold multinational biotech companies already have on food production. Genetically modified crops can enter the food chain and threaten biodiveristyWe are told that GM crops will help feed the world's poor but according to the United Nations, we already produce more than enough food to satisfy everyone. And even though consumers have rejected GM foods outright, the biotech companies and the governments that support them are still trying to force their inventions on us, purely for commercial gain. But the long term effects of GM crops have not been properly researched and, by cross-pollinating with non-GM crops and wild plants, they replicate themselves and contaminate the environment with genetic pollution that is impossible to clean up. The simple truth is, we don't need GM technology. Using sustainable and organic farming methods will allow us to repair the damage done by industrial farming, reducing the excessive use of fertiliser, herbicides and other man-made chemicals, and making GM crops redundant. If you want a future free from GM food, help us make sure that companies and governments around the world get the message.

Press Tv Report

"The Diamond Empire" is a documentary produced by Media Education Foundation in 1994. To purchase conflict-free diamonds or not, that is not the question. It is actually to re-think if we need diamonds at all to feel happy about ourselves or express our love toward others? More regulations on diamond trade - to purchase only certified diamonds - would only inflate its demand and reinforce the monopoly of De Beers and its likes. Even if somehow we manage to address the problem of "scarcity" by dismembering the diamond cartel and etc., would that solve the problem? If today we address diamond scarcity somehow, tomorrow the hearts-with-illness will desire for some other “precious” metal or material. Instead of De Beers, you will have some other unscrupulous, profit-driven company doing similar exploitation. This is not to suggest that people don't engage in political activism, pressuring politicians and companies through protests and boycotts. Just that doing that won’t be enough. What is needed is a deep cultural shift in how people think and desire and somehow re-orient the focus away from the rat race for bigger, better, faster, and more that you see in almost all parts of the world - those in the middle and upper classes that can afford such luxuries and among the working and poor classes who can't afford but their hearts long for these luxuries, and if tomorrow they become rich, they would join the rat race with similar enthusiasm.
