Babis, Baha’is and the British Deep State

June 11, 2017 Leave a comment

In the early 19th century, the strategic location of the Middle East, sitting directly between the British Empire and her colony India, made the deep state of the British Empire focus their attention on the Middle East. Securing and obtaining the control of the routes to her colony with the hopes of establishing new colonial areas in the process, became a veritable obsession for it.

However, it wasn’t only Ottoman Empire that became a target in the process due to her key territories like Egypt, Suez, Palestine, Iraq and Basra. Iran also had a very highly strategic position in the region.

As a part of its plan to secure the control of the region, British government at the time put into action what the historians now call the ‘the Great Game’ between 1830-1895 against the Russian Empire, which it considered as one of its biggest rivals to her colonial order in India.

The game was based on the idea of turning the Ottoman Empire, Iran and the Emirate of Bukhara into buffer states to stop the southward advance of Russia. This way, it had hoped, it could stop Russia from having land access to India and preventing it from gaining ports in the Persian Gulf or Indian Ocean, which could pose a treat to the sea trade routes of the British.

What is the aim of all Bahai activities?

June 4, 2017 Leave a comment

The achievement of this unity is Bahá’u’lláh’s declared mission and the aim of all Bahá’í activity. Its outline and structure are indicated in the following passage from the writings of Shoghi Effendi, great-grandson of Bahá’u’lláh and Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith:

The unity of the human race (converting everyone to Baha’ism), as envisaged by Bahá’u’lláh, implies the establishment of a world commonwealth (Baha’i Superstate) in which all nations, races, creeds and classes are closely and permanently united, and in which the autonomy of its state members and personal freedom and initiative of the individuals that compose them are definitely and completely safeguarded. This commonwealth must, as far as we can visualize it, consist of a world legislature, whose members will, as the trustees of the whole of mankind, ultimately control the entire resources of all the component nations, and will enact such laws as shall be required to regulate the life, satisfy the needs and adjust the relationships of all races and peoples. A world (Baha’i) executive, backed by an international (Baha’i) Force, will carry out the decisions arrived at, and apply the laws enacted by, this world legislature, and will safeguard the organic unity of the whole (Baha’i) commonwealth. A world (Baha’i) tribunal will adjudicate and deliver its compulsory and final verdict in all and any disputes that may arise between the various elements constituting this universal system. A mechanism of world inter-communication will be devised, embracing the whole planet, freed from national hinderances and restrictions, and functioning with marvellous swiftness and perfect regularity. A world metropolis will act as the nerve centre of a world civilization, the focus towards which the unifying forces of life will converge and from which its energizing influences will radiate. A world language (Esperanto!!!) will either be invented or chosen from among the existing languages and will be taught in the schools of all the federated nations as an auxiliary to their mother tongue. A world script, a world literature, a uniform and universal system of currency, of weights and measures, will simplify and facilitate intercourse and understanding among the nations and races of mankind. In such a world society, science and religion, the two most potent forces in human life, will be reconciled, will co-operate, and will harmoniously develop. The press will, under such a system, while giving full scope to the expression of the diversified views and convictions of mankind, cease to be mischievously manipulated by vested interests, whether private or public, and will be liberated from the influence of contending governments and peoples (Baha’i Censorship is already an open secret!). The economic resources of the world will be organized, its sources of raw materials will be tapped and fully utilized, its markets will be co-ordinated and developed, and the distribution of its products will be equitably regulated.

A world federal system (i.e. Baha’i Superstate), ruling the whole earth and exercising unchallengeable authority (of UHJ) over its unimaginably vast resources, blending and embodying the ideals of both the East and the West, liberated from the curse of war and its miseries, and bent on the exploitation of all the available sources of energy on the surface of the planet, a system in which Force is made the servant of Justice, whose life is sustained by its universal recognition of one God (Baha’u’llah!?) and by its allegiance to one common Revelation (Baha’i) — such is the goal towards which humanity, impelled by the unifying forces of life, is moving.

How ‘Baha’i Diplomacy’ and ‘Baha’i Wisdom’ works ?

May 7, 2017 Leave a comment

Here is information from the manual on public affairs published by the NSA of the US. I have highlighted areas that might help you with your concerns:

CONTACT WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND OFFICIALS


Regarding Bahá’í Matters

The relationships between the Bahá’í community and the government are the responsibility of the elected institutions of the Faith. Local Spiritual Assemblies are responsible for Bahá’í contact with local government agencies and officials (city councils, mayors, etc.) and, where appropriate, with local representatives to the state legislature. The National Spiritual Assembly, through its Washington, D.C., Office of Public Affairs, is responsible for all Bahá’í contact with federal or state government agencies and officials (the president, the State Department, senators, congressional representatives, governors, state government agencies, etc.). Bahá’ís who wish to contact government agencies or officials on Bahá’í matters or to mention or discuss the Bahá’í Faith must first ask the appropriate Bahá’í institution for permission.

The National Spiritual Assembly occasionally requests that Local Spiritual Assemblies or individual Bahá’ís contact federal or state government officials to ask their assistance on a particular issue that the Bahá’ís have chosen to promote. In these instances, Bahá’ís should call or write their legislators on behalf of the Bahá’í Faith, being mindful to refrain from quoting the Bahá’í writings or using the opportunity to teach the Faith. Meeting with Government Officials Regarding Bahá’í Matters here may be times in meetings when local Bahá’ís will discuss the Faith in response to questions from a government official, but it is important to exercise caution to ensure that the official does not develop the impression that the Bahá’ís’ visit and proposals are only a means of teaching the Faith. Local Bahá’ís engaged in public affairs work will have to gauge each situation on its merits, determining what and how much information on the Faith to share in a given meeting. They will make these determinations with increasing ease as their experience grows.

REFERENCE: Bahá’í International Community, External Affairs Manual – Bahá’í Diplomacy, p. 32.


Regarding Non-Bahá’í Matters

Of course, Bahá’ís can contact government representatives and express their views on non-Bahá’í matters as their consciences dictate, provided they do so as an individual and do not identify themselves as Bahá’ís.

Participation in Petitions and Letter Writing Campaigns

The believers are free as citizens to sign petitions or write letters to bring certain matters to the attention of the public and public officials. However, they should not identify themselves as Bahá’ís, unless encouraged to do so by a Bahá’í institution. The decision to participate in the myriad petitions and letter-writing campaigns in progress at any given time is largely left to the individual, to be made in accordance with his or her understanding of the teachings and the dictates of his or her conscience. However, if the friends have questions about particular issues or initiatives, they are encouraged to contact the appropriate institution for guidance — the Local Spiritual Assembly for local petitions and campaigns, and the National Spiritual Assembly’s Office of Public Affairs for national or international petitions and campaigns.

Recently retrieved Baha’i censuses from several countries exposes Baha’i lies more…

May 7, 2017 Leave a comment

“During my time as a Baha’i, I saw potential converts lied to by Baha’is regarding the membership of the Faith. The Baha’is, especially the Baha’i leadership, have always grossly inflated the ‘official’ numbers in order to present an inaccurate picture to the world (as well as to individuals considering conversion) and to make the Faith seem much more successful and influential than it really is. ” —Scott

Professor Juan Cole of the University of Michigan commented in April 2001 that, since 1968, 50% of the people who entered the bahai faith have left it. According to him, the usual figure for most Christian denominations is approximately 80% retention, meaning about only 20% decide to leave once they become a member. See Professor Cole’s comment below that even 5 million Baha’is worldwide is exaggerated by the Baha’i administration.

50% is truly a remarkably high number and reveals emphatically that something is indeed wrong about the atmosphere within the bahai faith. Often the new adherent quickly comes to realize someting is wrong behind the facade of love and brotherhood.

The FULL TEXT of the New Mexico lawsuit reveals what many of the problems are that are driving sensitive and thoughtful people out of the bahai faith in droves.

Juan Cole has also stated that according to the official census figures of India there are approximately only 5,000 bahais that they were able to find in the country compare with the millions claimed by the bahai administration, a fact worth lingering on….

Nation Census data Bahá’í-cited data
Barbados 178[1] 3,138[2]
Belize 202[3][4] 7,776[2]
Canada 18,945[5] 30,000[6]; 46,587[2]
Guyana 500[7] 13,045[2]
India 4,572[8][9] 1,880,000[2]

Sexism in Baha’i Faith…

April 5, 2017 Leave a comment

Baha’i Faith, almost certainly be touted as promoting “equality of men and women” and as such would be a progressive belief almost unique in the world’s religions if it was totally true. The Baha’i Faith claims to support the ideal of equality of men and women as a basic teaching.

But full equality of the sexes? Not in the Baha’i Faith as women are deprived the right to be elected as members of the Universal House of Justice.

Though Baha’u’llah, the prophet-founder of the Baha’i Faith, plainly said that in his religion “women are as men.” What the public generally doesn’t know, is that women are excluded from serving on the religion’s highest governing body, the Universal House of Justice. The Universal House of Justice is the international governing council of the Bahá’í Faith and the center of Bahá’u’lláh’s Covenant today. The ineligibility of women for membership on the Universal House of Justice the exclusion of women from the House is impossible to change, since that provision occurs in the “authorized interpretations” of Baha’i scripture.

Pune (India) Baha’i community witnesses one more Sex Scandal

April 5, 2017 1 Comment

Taraz Navayazdan

In December 2015 a winterschool was organised by the Baha’is to give a chance to Baha’i youth to mingle with each other and learn more about Baha’i activities. Not all attending this winterschool are bachelors. One married couple (Naim & Dilrabo) from Yaganegi family attended this winterschool. This is a famous Baha’i family in Pune and is related to other prominent Baha’is like Lesan Azadi, Payam Shoghi, Nemat Mihrshahi etc.

Naim Yaganegi (a Persian Baha’i) married Dilrabo, a Baha’i and a foreign national (I think from Tajikistan). They have two kids. Dilrabo alone attended the WS in Riverdale School (a Baha’i inspired school) in Pune. One prominent Baha’i activist Taraz (also Persian), a bachelor and serving at various Baha’i committees also attended this WS. It is well known that Baha’is try to find their life-partners in these kinds of camps. Some Baha’is also satisfy their carnal desires under the name of Baha’i core activities.

Baha’is are notorious throughout the world for their sexual scandals, broken marriages and illegal relationships. From the topmost leadership to lower level all Persian Baha’is are morally corrupt and are damaging the cultural / moral fabric of this nation.

I would just name a few Persian Baha’is who are involved in immoral activities in and around Pune.
Payam Shoghi, Delavara Mihrshahi, Rowhani Sisters (Marzia, Jena and Nazneen), Omid Seiosansian – none of them originally Indian.

Coming again to the story of Taraz and Dilrabo – Taraz tried to impress Dilrabo by showing how active he is in the Baha’i faith. Naim, Dilrabo’s husband is a simple man and not a very active Baha’i. Dilrabo and Taraz started to chat on Whatsapp and gradually built a relationship that is condemned in the Indian society.

Naim insisted that the Institutions of the Baha’i faith punish Taraz for his illicit relationship with his wife. Baha’is are told not to go to police but approach their administrative system which they believe is from Bahaulla. Poor Naim approached the LSA but nothing happened. Taraz did not even face the Administrative Sanctions, while there are many Indian Baha’is who have faced Administrative Sanctions for marrying according to Hindu rites.

According to what is known to many Baha’is in Pune this is what happened after the winterschool :

Taraz and Dilrabo started chatting on whatsapp. Later they were discussing on sleeping together and using condoms and how they can use the home of one of their Baha’i friend Mayuri whose keys were lying with Taraz. They copulated during the Baha’i month of fasting may be because there is no law that forbids sex during fasting in the Baha’i religion!

The marriage of Naim was ruined, Baha’i ‘Spiritual Assembly’ did nothing to Taraz, he is free today and exploiting other innocent Baha’i girls who get impressed by seeing the Baha’i activities of Taraz. Poor Naim did not divorce Dilrabo for the sake of his kids.

Persian Baha’is are the most corrupt people. If any Persian Baha’i is found exploiting an Indian lady, he will be punished not by the LSA but by Indian people themselves!.

Many thanks to our friend (name withheld) for sharing this.

Baha’i activities, Baha’i friendship for what?

March 26, 2017 23 Comments

Hi, I’m new to this but I wanted to speak about my recent experiences with the local Baha’i cluster, their activities and how I lost most of my friends after I decided to stop participating in their events.

Firstly, I wanted to mention that I’m an atheist, I always have been and I imagine I always will be. I’m not sure if any of them knew that then, and I wonder if that played a role in how they treat me now. Although I dislike religion and what my friends did over the past year, I was never traumatised or severely upset by anything that happened and I can’t say I dislike any of these friends even if I disagree with them now.

At the start of 2016, my close friend invited me to a youth gathering which she described was for “community building activities” and “empowering youth,” with absolutely no mention of any religious component. I attended, we only discussed the societal potential of young people and by the end of the day some older youth I met had already signed me up to start the Ruhi Institute books despite the fact that I’d never heard of them and they didn’t show them to us or tell us what they were about.

What made me leave the Baha’i faith ?

March 26, 2017 Leave a comment

…I do agree though that the Baha’i Faith, in all it’s various incarnations, is a cult.

I was indoctrinated into the Baha’i Faith from the age of seven. I grew up believing that I was one of the chosen. Over the years though more and more Baha’i contradictions began to pile up to the point where I could no longer ignore them.

One of the first was when I asked my mother at around the age of 15 why women were not allowed to be members of the Universal House of Justice. Her response made me think. She said that women were not allowed to be members of the Universal House of Justice because of their monthly periods where they might be too emotional to made good decisions. I laugh now when I think back on that answer.

Such contradictions continued to mount for many years. At one event sponsored by the Regional Teaching Committee on the lower mainland in BC I attended a meeting where they advised the particapants to befriend people of Chinese ancestor for the purpose of converting them to the Baha’i Faith. We were cautioned to not reveal at first that Baha’u’llah was a prophet and Baha’i a religion but to say that Baha’u’llah was a social reformer and Baha’i a social movement. I immediately developed a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I felt like I’d walked into a Scientology meeting by mistake. I left that meeting without saying goodbye and the Faith was never the same for me after that Baha’i cult experience.

I did attend meetings in other Baha’i communities after that eye opener but the evidence that Baha’i is a cult simply mounted.

I attended one meeting in Creston BC where members of the Doukabor community were invited. The Doukabor folks shared some lovely singing after which the traveling Baha’i teacher gave a short lecture about the Baha’i Faith. At the end of her lecture this Baha’i teacher broke out the conversion cards she had with her and invited the lovely Doukabor folks to sign time. I had to speak out. Proselytization isn’t allowed in the Baha’i Faith and this was a clear case of proselytization.

The host was taken off guard when I mentioned the Baha’i prohibition on proselytization, especially after the fine Doulabor folks agreed that a clear attempt to convert them had been made. They had shared lovely singing the Baha’is has shared nothing but a shallow attempt to convert.

The traveling Baha’i teacher shot daggers at me when I apologized for raining on her parade.

Eventually such clear evidence of the Baha’i Faith’s cult status mounted until I could no longer in good conscience remain a Baha’i. I resigned from the Baha’i Faith after 45 years of being Baha’i.

Cheers

Why I Abandoned the (Haifan) Baha’i Faith? Extract from Dale Husband’s blog.

March 5, 2017 Leave a comment

…If only everyone in the world became Baha’i, I was told, we would be at peace and prosperity forever.

What a wonderful vision! But human nature will NEVER allow for it! The reason is that the leadership of the Baha’i Faith, from its founder, Baha’u’llah, to the Universal House of Justice today, claims to be infallible because it is guided by God. Yet we know that Baha’u’llah, his son Abdu’l-Baha, Abdu’l-Baha’s grandson Shoghi Effendi (the Guardian of the Faith), and the members of the Universal House of Justice were/are all HUMAN BEINGS. What evidence do we have that ANY of them are infallible? NONE! And if you cannot question the will of a leadership, what do you in fact have? Tyranny! And what does tyranny always lead to, according to history? Corruption and injustice! And that, in turn results in the system breaking down over time. Indeed, the very idea that any human being, human run institution, or human product is infallible is sheer nonsense. It is the most dangerous idea in the world!

Also, I finally began to see that the Baha’i Faith also has errors, contradictions, and failures of its own, despite being less than 200 years old. It was my coming to understand this that finally led me to leave the Faith with a heavy heart.

The hypocrisies of the Baha’i Faith’s own dogmas can be summed up as follows:

⦁ State that religion no longer needs clergy……and replace them with leaders that are as authoritarian as the clergy ever was.
⦁ Claim that men and women should be equal……but then deny women membership in the all-powerful leadership council of the religion.
⦁ Condemn as heretics those who believe in your religion but dare to challenge the claims of your religion’s current leadership, while at the same time claiming to welcome as friends the followers of other religions.
⦁ Claim there is harmony between science and religion, but also claim that anything your leaders say is absolutely true, even if on topics science is expected to address.

Abdu’l-Baha Wouldn’t Bathe for Months at a Time and How Baha’is Suppressed this Fact

February 12, 2017 1 Comment

Baha’u’llah has enjoined upon his followers to bathe once a week:

“It hath been enjoined upon you to pare your nails, to bathe yourselves each week in water that covereth your bodies, and to clean yourselves with whatsoever ye have formerly employed. Take heed lest through negligence ye fail to observe that which hath been prescribed unto you by Him Who is the Incomparable, the Gracious.”

According to Baha’i scripture, Abdu’l-Baha wouldn’t bathe for months at a time. This act going against his father’s orders, has been censored and supressed in published works of Baha’is or simply distorted in the translation of Baha’i works into English. We will present here two such documents.
