Sari Gelin: A love song of nowhere

Sari Gelin is a familiar love song for most people who live in Iran
and neighbor countries. The song is the words of a boy complaining
to/about a girl he loves but cannot achieve.

Sari Gelin is preformed in different versions with different lyric but
with the same melody written in Bayati, the most popular genre for
folk poetry in Azeri.

There are many different lyrical interpretations of Sari Gelin among
Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Georgians, Persians, and Turks.

Turkish, Azerbaijani and Armenian versions narrate the laments of a
Muslim Turkish boy, about a Christian Armenian blond maiden from a
mountain or valley that he loves, although they are kept apart, and
the “unkind” girl is taken away, causing the boy to lament and curse
frequently.

Turkish version: love story in Erzurum

In Turkish language “sari” means yellow, golden, blonde or fair-skinned.

The word Gelin in Azerbaijani and Turkish means someone who comes to
the family (bride), with its root in the Turkish verb “Gel”, which
means “come”.

Thus Sari Gelin can mean “golden”, “blonde” or “fair-skinned” bride.

In Turkey, Sari Gelin is a popular folk story about an impossible love
between a Turkish boy and an Armenian girl from Erzurum.

Turkish singers Yavuz Bingöl and Kiraç performed the Turkish version
of the song.

Azerbaijani version: Love happens in Karabakh

In Azerbaijani language, “sari” means yellow or blonde but it may also
refer to a person’s soul as well.

In Azerbaijan, Sari Gelin (Blond Maiden) is a legend that symbolizes
the love between a Muslim Azerbaijani boy and a Christian Kipchak girl
who are kept apart.

The story sets in Karabakh, a controversial region disputed between
Armenia and Azerbaijan. An Azeri boy falls in love with an Armenian
girl, which is futile.

Vocalists Alim Qasimov and Abbas Bagirov performed the Azerbaijani
version of the song.

Armenian version: Sari Aghjik

In some Armenian versions of the song, the Armenian word Aghjik (Girl)
is used instead.

Sari may also be derived from the Armenian word saro, meaning “of the
mountain”, which is the meaning used in the Armenian versions of the
song (“Girl/Bride from the mountains”).

There are two Armenian versions of “Sari Gelin”. According to one
version, Sari Gelin was an Armenian girl, and a young man from Erzurum
fell in love with her.

Another version is about a Turkish Muslim who sees a very pretty
Armenian girl and he falls in love with her and starts to follow her
around.

But he is Muslim and she is Christian. Hence their families don’t want
them to marry each other. The lovers end up running away together but
the girl’s father, a powerful man, come after them with his men and
kill the Turkish man.

Singers Ruben Matevosyan and Gevorg Chakmanyan are amongst the
Armenian vocalists who performed “Sari Gelin”.

Iranian version: Persian Saray

In Iran, there is a famous Azeri fable about a girl named Saray. Some
people relate it to Sari Gelin song.

The Persian version happened in Mugan plain, located in northwestern
Iran and the southern part of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

A girl with blonde hair was born in a village near Aras River. Her
parents named her Saray, which is a combination of sari and ay (moon),
which means golden moon.

Saray was engaged to a shepherd however the khan falls in love with
her. Despite her reluctance, she is doomed to a forced marriage with
khan. Before the marriage, she commits suicide in Aras River.

The Iranian celebrated tar virtuoso Hossein Alizadeh accompanied by
Grammy nominated Armenian musician Djivan Gasparyan performed the
Armenian version of Sari Gelin.

However they use the Turkish line “Sari Gelin aman!” in their performance.

Love has border!

The song depicts an unfulfilled love between lovers of different
nations. They cannot marry because of their lands, beliefs and
traditions.

Hence, it comes as no surprise that there is no consensus about the
song’s country of origin as well. The song is still a subject of
contention and accusations of plagiarism among the countries where it
is popular.

Israel and Azerbaijan: An odd – but fond – couple

Israel and Azerbaijan: An odd – but fond – couple

Jpost.com (The Jerusalem Post online edition)
February 19, 2015 Thursday

On the surface it appears the ties of friendship between the Jewish
state and the secular Muslim state can serve as a model for all, but
the two are much more linked on strategic importance, defense.
BAKU – In a crowded classroom inside a distinctly non-impressive
building at the Baku Slavic University – a city dotted with grand,
European-style mansions just down the street from postmodern,
futuristic buildings – a modest ceremony took place January 27,
International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Hundreds of similar programs and ceremonies took part around the globe
on the same day, and this one was far from the largest or the most
impressive.

Moreover, with attempts by some of the organizers of the event to draw
parallels between the genocide of the Jews and the murder of
Azerbaijanis by Armenians in the last century, it surely did not run
according to what Yad Vashem might consider an ideal script. (One sign
at the entrance to the hall had a poster that read “Holocaust and
Khojaly,” a reference to the 1992 massacre of hundreds of Azerbaijanis
during the war with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.) But still.

Here, in the middle of Azerbaijan, an Islamic country with a majority
Shi’ite population, a ceremony took place commemorating the murder of
six million Jews.

To put that in proper perspective, consider that in Iran –
Azerbaijan’s menacing neighbor to the south – the government denies
the Holocaust and sponsors cartoon contests mocking it.

And consider as well that Turkey, its neighbor to the west and its
closest ally, has a president – Recep Tayyip Erdogan – who has accused
Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinians, and likened
Israel’s actions to those of the Nazis.

Yet despite its neighbors and their leaders, members of this country’s
small but ancient Jewish community – including a Jewish member of the
Azerbaijani parliament – were discussing the Holocaust in a room
filled with Muslim students from the university and members of the
media. And all that under government sponsorship.

Welcome to Azerbaijan.

“One of our greatest achievements,” explained Kamal Abdulla,
Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev’s adviser on multinational,
multicultural and religious affairs, “is our independence. We are not
dependent on anyone.”

Certainly not on Russia, nor the US. And neither on Iran, nor Turkey.
Which explains why a Holocaust memorial ceremony could take place in
Azerbaijan at all.

LIKE ALL lands, Azerbaijan has its paradoxes.

Over-sized photos of Aliyev, and even more so, ever-present pictures
and huge monuments to his father, Heydar Aliyev, festoon the streets
of a country that prides itself in having come out of the shadows of
Soviet rule. Government officials and spokesmen constantly praise the
country’s multiculturalism, even though 92 percent of their 9.4
million people are Muslim. And the leader has pumped $180 billion
generated from phenomenal oil income into revitalizing and modernizing
the capital, even as parts of the colorful city have no sidewalks.

But there is no greater Azerbaijani paradox than its close
relationship with the Jewish state – a relationship that is only
getting closer with time.

“The level of trade in 2012-2013 with a country like Azerbaijan is
very impressive,” Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said in January,
at a meeting in Jerusalem with Israel’s ambassadors in Euro- Asia. The
$5b. in annual trade with Azerbaijan, he said, is more trade than
Israel does with France.

But few in Israel are aware or know about that – not the trade, nor
Azerbaijan, nor Israel’s relationship with it. The vast majority of
that trade is the oil Israel buys via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline
– Jerusalem buys some 40% of its oil from Baku – and most of what
Azerbaijan buys from Israel is in the sphere of weapons technology or
arms. And both those categories of purchases are strategic ones,
generally kept well out of the news.

As Aliyev said a few years ago in a quote captured in a WikiLeaks
cable from the US embassy in Baku: The Israeli-Azerbaijani bilateral
relationship is like an iceberg, nine-tenths of it below the surface.

SAY THE name Azerbaijan to friends, and some will likely mangle it,
calling it instead Azerbastan. Their minds will probably conjure up
images of fighting and Muslims and extremists.

Those with strong geographic awareness might think of the Caspian Sea;
those who have literary tendencies might remember Kurban Said’s
classic novel Ali and Nino.

The rest, however, might just confuse the country with the nearby
“stans,” mixing it up with Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and
Kyrgyzstan.

“We came here with a bit of skepticism because this is a Muslim state,
and we are surrounded by Muslim states that don’t like us,” said Acre
Mayor Shimon Lankri during a meeting with government officials at the
end of January in Baku, summing up mainstream Israel’s gut impression
of Azerbaijan.

“Most people in Israel don’t know much about Azerbaijan.

We were surprised by the depth of the relationship between our two
countries, and also by the development that we see in this city.”

Lankri was the head of a small Israeli delegation brought over by the
Azerbaijani government, with one of the purposes being to better
expose Israelis to the country and its ties with Israel.

Lankri, who has some 9,000 Jews of Azerbaijani origin in his city of
60,000 people, is building a community center there for Jews from the
Caucasus, which will also serve as a heritage house for the 70,000
Azerbaijani-born Jews now living in Israel.

And it is those Jews, or rather the Jewish community that spawned
them, which have been one of the key catalysts that have motored the
burgeoning ties between the two states.

SOME TWO hours north of Baku, through barren steppes with the Caucasus
Mountains visible along the horizon, sits the city of Quba, capital of
a region of some 150,000 people.

Across the river from Quba is Krasnaya Sloboda, or Red Town, an
entirely Jewish village of some 4,000 Jews – think of a Central Asian
version of New York’s Kiryas Joel, without the hassidim.

David Pessachov, the representative of the Jewish village on the
regional council, praises through a translator his country’s treatment
of the Jews, both today and historically.

While anti-Semitism in Europe is on the march, he noted, in Azerbaijan
it doesn’t exist, and never has. Even in the days of the Soviets, the
Jews in Quba did not suffer the same degree of repression as their
coreligionists elsewhere in the Soviet Union, he asserted.

To underline his point, Pessachov quoted a comment Aliyev said about
the Mountain Jews, who make up most of the Jews in the village: “Jews
are my friends, Mountain Jews are my brothers.”

Asked if he feels safe in Azerbaijan, he said “completely,” and
returned the question: “Do you feel safe in Israel?” But safety, it
seems, is not everything: His father lives in Israel, his mother in
New York, and three of his children in Moscow.

To judge by the facilities for Jews in Quba, and in Baku, those Jews
who do leave the country are not doing so because they can’t live a
Jewish life in Azerbaijan. On the contrary, the government – and
various Jewish organizations – have gone to great lengths to rebuild
synagogues, build mikvaot, ensure ritual slaughter and make sure that
Jews have the ability to live as Jews in the country, if indeed that’s
what they want to do.

One such synagogue is in Quba, where – next to a park with a huge
statue of Heydar Aliyev, Azerbaijan’s equivalent of David Ben-Gurion –
stands one of the neighborhood’s three synagogues (there were 13 in
this region of the Mountain Jews before the Soviets moved in). The
park is surrounded by mansions, some sitting empty and owned by
oligarchs who live abroad, but want to retain a link to the Jewish
village of their birth.

The Quba region is known for its detailed, tightly woven Persian rugs,
and a number grace the floor of the central synagogue, also artfully
decorated with wood-carved furnishings.

A man stands at the door to the synagogue entrance, instructing those
who enter to take off their shoes; not, as one might suspect, to
protect the rugs, but rather in the tradition of the Mountain Jews,
because God instructed Moses to doff his sandals before approaching
the burning bush. That’s one interpretation of the custom. Another:
It’s an adaption of the Muslim custom of taking off shoes for prayer.

In a side room, an emissary from Israel is teaching some 40 young
women – aged 14 to 25 – about Jewish history, “from creation to the
present.” The girls smile and shake their heads affirmatively when
asked, through a translator, if there is a future for Jews in this
place. They were born there, their parents and parents’ parents were
born there, and they have what they need to live Jewish lives.

“Why not?” one woman responds, “all we need are jobs.”

KAMAL MAKILI-ALIYEV, a research fellow at the Center for Strategic
Studies, a Baku think tank, attributes the seemingly anomalous ties
between this secular Shi’ite country with the Jewish state in some
part to those girls and their families – the historic Jewish community
of Azerbaijan, a community dating back some 2,500 years that today
numbers some 9,000 people, from a peak of nearly 60,000 in 1926.

“We used to, and still, have close ties with the Jews. Azerbaijan
hosted a very large community in Baku, and in the northern part of the
country. We have always had common links, and the community had its
influence,” he said, adding that the Jewish community has had a
significant impact on the society in music, architecture and as
fighters during the world wars, and – more recently – in the Nagorno-
Karabakh conflict.

Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Hikmet Hajiyev echoed this
sentiment, saying the “human dimension” should not be underestimated
and has played an “important role” in the development of ties between
the two countries.

But that, obviously, does not tell the whole story.

Iran also has an ancient Jewish community – as did Yemen, Iraq and
Syria – but none of that did much to help ties with Israel. Sentiment
may help grease the relationship between the two countries, but they
are not the building blocks of the relationship; those building blocks
are interests.

IT IS not difficult at all to figure out why Israel is keen on ties
with Azerbaijan. First, all one has to do is look at a map. Sandwiched
between Russia, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and Iran, and on the oil-rich
Caspian Sea, the country is very strategically located.

“The relations with Azerbaijan are very special,” said Israel’s
ambassador to the country, Rafael Harpaz, sitting in the Israeli
Embassy in Baku, the target of a planned terrorists attack six years
ago that was foiled thanks to close Israeli-Azerbaijani intelligence
and security cooperation.

“This is a secular, Shi’ite Muslim country,” he said, indicating it
could be a model for Israel’s relationship with other non-Arab Muslim
countries.

Indeed, ever since Israel’s creation in 1948, Jerusalem has sought and
worked hard to develop close ties with non-Arab Muslim states, partly
as a way of diminishing the religious element of the Arab-Israeli
conflict.

Thus, Israel forged close ties – as part of its well-known Periphery
Doctrine in the 1950s – with Iran, until the fall of the shah in 1979;
and with Turkey, until the rise of Erdogan in 2002.

The ties with Azerbaijan – a member of the Organization of the Islamic
Conference – fit well into that pattern, at least the first part of
the equation: the flourishing of ties. And the Azerbaijani government
is taking steps to ensure that the second part of the equation does
not materialize, and that the country does not lose its overwhelmingly
secular nature and became increasingly Islamic – something that
happened in Iran and in Turkey, effectively destroying relations with
Israel.

For instance, to prevent the spread of a radical brand of Islam from
penetrating society – either an extreme brand of Shi’a from Iran, or
an extreme Sunni Wahhabi brand from Saudi Arabia – the government has
mandated that only locally educated clerics can serve as imams in
mosques.

And to prevent its citizens from going abroad to fight for groups like
Islamic State, and then returning to take on the local authorities, it
has enacted a law making it illegal for Azerbaijani citizens to fight
in a foreign army. Anyone who does – and returns to the country – can
be jailed.

A desire by Israel to forge close ties with a secular Muslim state to
serve as a model for others to follow is, indeed, one of Israel’s
interests in the country; it is also the interest that diplomats speak
of openly. But it is, obviously, not the only one.

A Century of American Figurehead Presidents Marching to the Beat of

A Century of American Figurehead Presidents Marching to the Beat of
Wall Street and the New World Order

By Joachim Hagopian
Global Research, February 18, 2015
Region: USA
Theme: Culture, Society & History, Global Economy

It’s that time of year again! President’s Day, a time to honor
America’s two greatest presidents in history (at least from history
book consensus) – George Washington our first and Abraham Lincoln our
sixteenth president. By conveniently combining the nearest weekend
midpoint between their birthdays (22nd and 12th respectively) and
lopping in Valentine’s Day and the NBA All Star Weekend to make it a
post-Super Bowl Bonanza for everyone, kind of like what the three-day
MLK weekend is to the yearend holiday extravaganza. But between our
Presidents’ Day sales, popcorn and beer, this President’s Day 2015
might also be an opportune time to pause and reflect on our presidents
over this last century. President’s Day then becomes a sober reckoning
of how the fate of our cherished democratic republic was lost and
stolen by today’s totalitarian oligarchy. A chronicle of this last
century’s presidents offers us Americans a greater understanding of
the diminished role our figurehead presidents have played as a mere
public face to the shrouded power elite puppet masters pulling their
strings. What follows is a presentational overview providing a
step-by-step thread of continuity that has led us to the New World
Order burgeoning today.

1913 was a pivotal year that brought to fruition the meticulously laid
out agenda conspired in total secrecy of the Jekyll Island Coup d’Etat
that culminated with the Federal Reserve Act signed by President
Woodrow Wilson establishing the deceptively covert, privatized central
banking cabal of the Federal Reserve Board. The other illegal 1913
coup that was part of the low-blow, one-two near knockout punch
against the American people was the birth of the federal income tax.
Thus the foundation of today’s globalist Ponzi scheme on the verge
right now of implosion gained its lethal foothold into our lives just
one year before “the war to end all wars.”

A handful of extremely powerful men including prominent New York
Senator Nelson Aldrich, Paul Warburg (representing the Rothschilds of
Europe), Jacob Schiff (with also longtime Rothschild ties) of Kuhn,
Loeb & Company and a few others like Benjamin Strong representing the
financial interests of America’s most elite money barons and
industrialists like John D. Rockefeller met at J.P. Morgan’s hunting
club on a Georgia Island in 1910 to iron out the strategy to take over
America’s government by usurping the power of the US Treasury to
produce currency.

In his autobiography during the same year the Ponzi scheme was
launched, then former President Theodore Roosevelt wrote:

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible
government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to
the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy
alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first
task of the statesmanship of the day.

With one of the Jekyll Island participants Colonel Edward M. House
acting as President elect Woodrow Wilson’s personal advisor, the
robber barons had plucked the Princeton University president from
relative obscurity, planted him in office as the Governor of New
Jersey in 1911 and then had him elected president the following year.
His predecessor President Taft who had opposed a central bank was
easily replaced by the naïve and pliable Wilson. Thus when he took his
oath of office in January 1913, Colonel House was the elitist insider
who was able to easily manipulate Wilson to further serve the interest
of the banking cabal. House’s instrumental role of influence and power
over Woodrow Wilson might be analogous to what Zbigniew Brzezinski’s
was to President Jimmy Carter and Henry Kissinger to President Nixon.
But the former Ivy League president was an intelligent man who had
written a book published the same year he became president showing he
was fully aware of the shadowy bankster cabal. Based on the quote
below from his 1913 The New Freedom, Wilson knew a transformation of
power was underway, making him all the more culpable when he proceeded
to do everything the elite wanted and expected of him. In some ways
knowing what he knew, signing the Federal Reserve Act and Federal
Income Tax Act the same year his book was published made him a traitor
to Americans:

Some of the biggest men in the US, in the field of commerce and
manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They
know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so
watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had
better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of
it…. We have been dreading all along the time when the combined power
of high finance would be greater than the power of government….

Yeah, if you’re as weak as putty in their hands. To show just how much
President Wilson was the first puppet president to be used by
oligarchs, dancing gleefully to their diabolical tune, Wilson actually
uttered:

Mr. House is my second personality. He is my independent self. His
thoughts and mine are one. If I were in his place I would do just as
he suggested… if anyone thinks he is reflecting my opinion by whatever
action he takes, they are welcome to the conclusion.

With the formation of the Federal Reserve, wealth and power in the
United States was instantly consolidated within a few Eastern
Establishment families that would ensure their offspring were always
educated at the finest Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Yale,
Princeton and Columbia. Upon graduation they would enter Wall Street
banking firms, global corporations and eventually infiltrate into key
positions in the government. This power grab resulting in control over
the flow of money through loans to the federal government, and then
collecting interest on those loans, guaranteed loan repayment by
income tax collection. This new monetary system was predicated on an
invisible elite taking control of the government. What a coup, not
unlike what 9/11 is to totalitarianism.

Thus creation of the perfect pyramid scheme for the rich remained by
law unaccountable to government oversight and control to the extent
that the Federal Reserve was immune from all audits for its first 98
years in existence! Finally in 2011 in its very first audit it was
revealed that the Federal Reserve secretly paid $16 trillion in
bailouts to the top elitist banks both domestic and foreign. Senator
Bernie Sanders (I-VT) commented, “This is a clear case of socialism
for the rich and rugged, you’re-on-your-own individualism for everyone
else.” In view of the fact that since 1913 the Federal Reserve has
created so much new money out of thin air that it has purposely
devalued the US dollar by 95%, the banking crime syndicate needs to be
destroyed. As if such fiscal irresponsibility isn’t bad enough, a few
years later as of last week the so called modern day champion of
economic reform Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) herself stopped short
of demanding another Fed audit per Senator Rand Paul’s (R-KY) “Audit
the Fed” Bill, calling it “Congressional meddling.” Another instance
of a politician who claims to represent the people selling out.

The creation of the Federal Reserve Board intentionally deceiving the
public by misrepresenting itself as an extension of the government was
the ideal means by which the elite central banking cabal could
ruthlessly eliminate competition from smaller banks and corporations
while controlling the federal government by loaning money to big
government to wage big war. And as no surprise, less than a year
later, enter World War I, the bloodiest war in human history up to
that time with 10 million soldiers and 7 million civilians killed and
20 million injured. But hey, like every war it was a boom to the
psychopathic oligarchs in charge as governments plunged deeper into
debt and between accrued interest and collected taxes guaranteeing
repayment, life was and still is mighty good for the ruling elite.

Establishing an income tax to soak the middle class into funding the
elite’s wars, initially passed on a short-lived promise that taxpayers
earning under $20,000 a year (the vast US majority in 1913) would only
pay 1% of their annual income. But of course a short time later the
middle class found itself heavily taxed, by design creating a
formidable protective barrier restricting upward class mobility. That
way, it ensured that the rich got richer and over time everyone else
would get poorer in a debtor economy. The rich a hundred years ago in
1915 were no different from the rich in control today in 2015 since
concentrated wealth has seamlessly remained insulated in that same
handful of families a full century later. The only difference is their
wealth has grown exponentially at the expense of the rest of us who
increasingly struggle in this new global age of fiscal austerity.
Currently the richest 1% on earth own near half the global wealth.

Through offshore tax loopholes and financing endowment foundations and
extravagant elitist think tanks that have always been totally
self-serving in supplying tremendous tax breaks, the wealthy ruling
elite and its transnational corporations have gotten away with not
bearing any tax burden. Thus these sinister anti-democratic, anti-free
enterprise machinations enacted a century ago were designed to kill
democracy in America, replacing it with the oligarchy we’re currently
stuck with today. The coup of 1913 was a mere replication of the
wealth and power structure that had been governing Europe’s central
banking cabal since the 1600’s. In fact a year before passage of the
Federal Reserve Act, in a speech before world bankers, Meyer Nathaniel
Rothschild bragged, “Let me control a people’s currency and I care not
who makes their laws.” Global rulers consisting of only eight families
in US and Europe that own the Federal Reserve envisioned a hundred
years ago complete control over a centralized one world government
through their central banking cabal. And here in the twenty-first
century their diabolical scheme has tragically materialized right
before our eyes.

The chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency from 1920
to 1931, Congressman Louis McFadden, would later gloat in 1932:

When the Federal Reserve Act was passed, the people of these United
States did not perceive that a world banking system was being set up
here – a super-state controlled by international bankers and
international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for
their own pleasure. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal
its powers but the truth is – the Fed has usurped the government.

Industrialist Henry Ford put it this way, “It is well enough that the
people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary
system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before
tomorrow morning.”

Maintaining control over the press by disseminating lies and
disinformation and education through rewriting history and omitting
certain glaring facts, the power elite for many centuries has been
brainwashing generation after generation of Americans. Taken in by the
countless lies and illusions, we’ve always been taught that our
democratic republic was supposed to be a government of the people, by
the people and for the people (as Abe eloquently reminded us in his
Gettysburg Address), and that through clean honest elections the will
of the people is guaranteed by power of choice. The Founding Fathers
preached equality and justice for all. But for whom? Only for a
minority of the total population – free white men, definitely not for
people of darker skinned races or half the population that were women
or the growing segment within a debtor nation. The cold hard reality
is the ruling elite was always in command right from the start in the
United States of America. And in 1913 they were dancing in their
mansions when consolidation of power was placed forevermore into fewer
hands with passage of both the federal income tax and the Federal
Reserve private banking cabal that has only led directly to the
unsustainable global theft that elite’s absolute power and control
currently driving the pending economic collapse. As a private
collection agency it bilks about $400 billion a year off the backs of
US taxpayers and another $300 billion in interest alone. The 10
private banks that make up the Federal Reserve is a pyramid scam that
has us Americans paying out while they simply collect on what is owed,
never having to pay out themselves.

In 1916 President Wilson was an avid proponent pushing the notion that
the world needed a League of Nations, a one world governmental body
acting as global “peace enforcer,” using the rationale that it would
prevent another major war from recurring. And then once World War One
ended in 1918, at the Paris Peace Conference the stage was set for the
first attempt at a one world government with the founding of the
League of Nations on January 10, 1920. However, the League never got
off the ground in the US with the Senate voting to not become a
member.

As a mediator between clashing nations during the 1920’s, the League
of Nations is credited with several instances of successful conflict
resolution. At its height in the early 1930’s it boasted 58 nation
members. But as the decade progressed, it began losing its power and
credibility when nations like Poland refused to comply and Italy
eventually walked out. When the polarizing world was militarizing as
World War II loomed ominously closer, the League fell apart and
disbanded. Of course a decade later after the Second World War, the
United Nations reemerged as the primary global body of one world
government in-the-making.

The next big day the elitists could celebrate in their NWO conquest
was the creation of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in 1921.
This organization was the intended functionary liaison between the
oligarchs dictating to the US federal government what it should do
particularly in international foreign policy and global movement
toward one world government. Many of the same Jekyll Island
party-goers were founding members like Col. House, Paul Warburg,
Warren Harding lasted only two years (1921-1923) in the White House
before keeling over. His late night drinking and playing poker with
the boys, his unsavory cronies from home state of Ohio, had him even
betting away the White House china on a bad poker night. Historians
regard Harding as one the worst presidents in US history. He was a
do-nothing, middle-of-the-roader who never made enemies because he
never took a stand on any major issues. The elite chose him because
one, Harding had been a requisite Freemason for two decades and two,
the oligarchs knew he would completely sign off on their globalist
agenda. His secretary of state was leading internationalist Charles
Evans Hughes who worked closely with Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover and Secretary of Treasury Andrew Mellon to switch international
trade financing away from British bankers to American banks like
Rockefeller’s Chase National Bank.

It did not take long for the newly formed CFR to declare its globalist
objective in its magazine Foreign Affairs as Philip Kerr wrote on
December 15, 1922:

Obviously there is going to be no peace or prosperity for mankind as
long as [the earth] remains divided into 50 or 60 independent states
until some kind of international system is created…The real problem
today is that of the world government.

Harding’s Vice President, Calvin Coolidge, suddenly became head man
from 1923-1929. He was a welcome relief after the scandalous prone
Harding administration. “Silent Cal” was a quiet, unassuming, frugal
New Englander who opposed big government and the League of Nations.
Though he too was a Freemason, the Roaring Twenties were defined more
as a period of isolationism than globalism. As a conservative hero of
the small businessman, Coolidge harkened on the wisdom and values
espoused in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights rather than any
progressive modern movement toward socialism and one world government
that the Council on Foreign Relations and power elite were steadfastly
promoting.

October 1929 brought the Wall Street stock market crash and the
ensuing Great Depression that went global for the next 10 years. It
was purely a fleecing purposely staged by the ruling elite. The
monetary system of the centralized banking cabal feeds off the
intentionally induced, erratic ebb and flow of booms and depressions,
with each cycle strengthening its profit and control. The Hegelian
Dialectic has been repeatedly played out by the globalists. It
consists of a three stage process, first the elite creates the
problem, in this case the worldwide economic depression. The second
phase involves controlling the reaction and then finally offer the
solution.

The newly elected CFR member and “Skull & Bones” man (the infamous
secret Yale society)President Herbert Hoover (1929-1933) was a
longtime globalist who sought making inroads partnering big government
with big business. He called upon the Senate in his inaugural address
to accept the globalist creation of the World Court. In some ways
despite being “a company man,” Hoover became the fall guy as the elite
turned to another one of its own in Franklin Delano Roosevelt who
defeated Hoover in the 1932 election. Even FDR in a genuine moment of
candor stated, “Presidents are selected, not elected.”

To maximize the cabal’s fleecing, interest rates were increased while
wages fell by 42%, the annual GDP was cut in half and more than a
quarter of the workforce was unemployed. Talk about predatory
behavior.

FDR (1933-1944) was credited with the New Deal, an ambitious big
government program that was unprecedented in expanding the domain of
the globalist federal agenda into every American’s personal life.
Roosevelt had campaigned for president on his New Deal as phase two of
the Hegelian Dialectic – deliverance of the necessary fix to the Great
Depression. Essentially the New Deal assumed responsibility for the
welfare of the United States heading us down the path to full frontal
corporatism and out of control deficit spending, now well over 18
trillion in the rabbit hole and counting. At the height of the
Depression in 1933 Roosevelt, a 32 degree Freemason, a Skull and Bones
operator and a CFR member, wrote one of the key architects of this
monetary system nightmare CFR founder Col. House lamenting:

The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial
element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the
days of Andrew Jackson … The country is going through a repetition of
Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States – only on a far
bigger and broader basis…

The president was having second thoughts about following House’s big
government New Deal advice, wanting to reign the banks in, but it was
too late, he’d already given them what they wanted, largely a
socialist government patterned after Mussolini’s fascism. FDR’s take
on the Depression and how it was manufactured:

The depression was the calculated ‘shearing’ of the public by the
World Money powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of supply
of call money in the New York money market… The One World Government
leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of
the money and credit machinery of the US via the creation of the
privately owned Federal Reserve Bank.

Of course the same can be said for World War II. The international
globalists financed both Hitler and the Allies to ensure more death,
domination and control, not to mention profit. Prescott Bush, H.W.’s
father, sunk millions into Hitler’s rise. With each world war the
oligarchs gained another giant step closer to their one world
government vision. And similar to the First World War, even as the
bloodiest war in human history still raged on with 15 million dead
soldiers, 45 million civilians killed and 25 million wounded, the one
world governmental apparatus known as the United Nations was formed. A
strong League of Nations advocate, FDR played a seminal role in
formulating the blueprint to the United Nations that gained its
charter just six monthsafter the longest running president’s death in
1944.

Roosevelt’s successor, Harry Truman (1944-1953), was also unabashed
when it came to promoting big government socialism, calling his
version “The Fair Deal.” And also like FDR, Truman was a 33 degree
Freemason also held membership in the Council on Foreign Relations.
And he too led the centralized government assault as both provider and
controller over the country’s population and resources. Finally, it
was Truman who has the dubious, shameful distinction of being the only
country’s president in the history of the world to drop the atom bomb
over two Japanese cities knowing that Japan was ready to surrender.
The excuse that it saved lives is a disgraceful lie.

In June 1945 Harry Truman gave his globalist position away when he declared:

It will be just as easy for nations to get along in a republic of the
world as it is for us to get along in a republic of the United States.

Incidentally, original Jekyll Island-Federal Reserve-CFR co-founder
Paul Warburg’s son James still spouted the cocky arrogance his
resolute dad exhibited while testifying exactly 65 years ago today
before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “We shall have world
government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent.” From
appearances based on today’s developments, James Paul Warburg is close
to being correct on both accounts.

Retired General Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961) had impeccable
credentials when he was elected US President in 1952. The West Point
educated Columbia University president had been WWII Supreme Allied
Commander responsible for the largest amphibious land invasion in
human history that successfully defeated the German Nazis on the
Western front. He also became the first NATO Supreme Commander, the
military machine designed to fight Soviet Communism in Europe. As a
Council on Foreign Relations member, he surrounded himself with fellow
CFR guys including John Foster Dulles as Secretary of State totaling
19. Way back in 1939 CFR fixture Dulles boldly suggested that the US
“lead the transition to a new order of less independent,
semi-sovereign states bound together by a league or federal union.” Of
course his future commander-in-chief was later the first general in
charge of the continental army of Europe called NATO.

Every year President Eisenhower happily sent members of his
administration to the annual Bilderberg meeting to formally discuss
the latest globalist agenda. During Ike’s years as president the
ruling elite made monumental strides under the cloak of the cold war
that they themselves covertly created as a means towards the New World
Order end. Of course it was also the ex-general who warned America in
his Farewell Address in January 1961 of the coming threat to our civil
liberties and freedom that the war profiteers of the military
industrial complex posed. The elite’s power to create enemies and make
incessant war designed to increase American Empire global hegemony in
sole interests of transnational corporations and the central banking
cabal is the endgame result he warned us about.

After 1000 days in office President John Kennedy (1961-1963) was
gunned down by elements within his own government because he proved
too much a threat to the status quo power structure. He was bent on
deflating if not eliminating the CIA’s covert autonomy around the
world, was planning to bring back all the US military advisors so as
to avoid the Vietnam War altogether, and made movement to unhinge the
Federal Reserve banking cabal by bringing back the greenback dollar
and reinstating the Treasury Department with authority over the flow
of fiat currency. These three actions openly opposed the entire
globalist agenda as well as would have severely undercut its power.
Thus he was eliminated and the cover-up of murdering factions of rogue
government insiders continues unabated to this day. Kennedy outed
these shadowy elements in a speech less than seven months prior to his
assassination in an April 1963 speech. Kennedy’s father Joe was once
quoted in a 1936 New York Times article claiming that “fifty men have
run America, and that’s a high figure.” His son turned those same
fifty’s sons against him and paid the price.

President Lyndon Johnson (1963-1969), a CFR-Freemason, has been
implicated by some as a co-conspirator in the Kennedy murder. He most
definitely had both motive and the means. Following the CFR “wise
guys” lock, stock and barrel as his advisors both in and out of his
cabinet, Johnson plunged the US on yet another false flag headlong
into its longest war in its history in Vietnam. Rather than supporting
independence and actual economic opportunity in the inner cities of
America, Johnson’s “Great Society” and “War on Poverty” proceeded to
turn the United States into a welfare state which only mushroomed an
underclass of disenfranchised poor. LBJ’s tax exempt status to
religious organizations while on his watch only weakened and silenced
their free speech rights to actively oppose big government’s march
toward invasive power and control for fear of wrath from IRS
militants. Johnson cooked the books to conceal exponential growth and
absorbent costs of expanding government into the lives of Americans.

Under President Richard Nixon (1969-1974) the pace dramatically
accelerated toward the New World Order. His closest security advisor
and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger openly and matter-of-factly
spoke repeatedly and still speaks of the coming NWO as his fine-tuned
globalist agenda, always spinning it in palatable terms as good for
humanity, not just the ruling elite. A case in point, while speaking
before the UN General Assembly in 1975, Kissinger promised, “Progress
and peace and justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and
governments: Let us fashion together a new world order.”

Reflecting on his foreign policy triumph over his recent trip to
China, in a February 1972 New York Times article President Nixon is
quoted referring to both the US and China’s mutual interest in
“building a New World Order.” No doubt with NWO still fresh on his
mind, in that same month Nixon signed Executive Order 11647 that
authorized UN jurisdiction over 10 regions within the 50 states. It
reads like a precursor to UN Agenda 21 two decades later.

Nixon entertained both the idea and the plan to lock up dissidents in
detention camps, again the blueprint for today’s FEMA camps. In fact,
all the totalitarian police state contingencies were first formulated
by this reactionary tyrant who became the only president in US history
who resigned from office in disgrace over the illegal wiretapping,
breaking and entering and dozens of violations to the US Constitution
that are now the oppressive security state we’re living in. He and
Kissinger were also traitors that undermined a peace settlement the
Johnson administration was working on that would have ended the
Vietnam War in 1968. Instead it dragged on for more than four years
killing thousands of more humans. Needless to say, Tricky Dick and his
war criminal sidekick Henry were card carrying Council on Foreign
Relations members with a saturated cabinet and advisors who were also
likeminded totalitarian CFR globalists.

Kissinger spilled the beans at the 1991 Bilderberg meeting:

Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to
restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be
grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an
outside threat from beyond [i.e., an “extraterrestrial” invasion],
whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is
then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from
this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When
presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly
relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by
the World Government.

Spoken like a true NWO fanatic. Three years later Kissinger entitled
his book How to Achieve the New World Order.

Gerald Ford (1974-1977) immediately pardoned his predecessor for all
his crimes against humanity. As a regular Bilderberger, 33 degree
Mason and CFR man, President Ford moved the globalist agenda right
along. While a member of the Warren Commission investigating the JFK
assassination, Ford inserted words into the report that reinforced the
preposterous notion of the single magic bullet that went through
Kennedy into Texas Governor Connelly. During the cover-up Ford played
his part in defense of protecting the guilty. But then Gerry was
always a loyal company man. Finally, Ford selected globalist kingpin
Nelson Rockefeller as his vice president.

Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) like Obama came from out of nowhere as the
cherry-picked leading presidential candidate of his party, only
reinforcing the veracity of FDR’s admission that presidents are
selected, not elected. And then Carter was also a member of the
Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg and Council on Foreign Relations.
His socialism agenda masquerading as his Southern Baptist charm
reflects the longstanding globalist point of view.

And his very own Kissinger-esque security advisor was none other than
brazen CFR globalist agenda cheerleader Zbigniew Brzezinski who with
David Rockefeller founded the Trilateral Commission in 1973. It was
Brzezinski who introduced Carter to Rockefeller and the peanut farmer
from Georgia was catapulted straight to the top. Even prior to
becoming the leader of the free world’s right hand man, Brzezinski’s
NWO roots were expressed prophetically loud and clear in his 1970 book
Between Two Ages, America’s Role in the Technotronic Era:

The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more
controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite,
unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert
almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain
up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal
information about the citizen. These files will be subject to
instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.

He goes on with more of his brave new world ranting:

Speaking of a future at most only decades away, an experimenter in
intelligence control asserted, ‘I foresee a time when we shall have
the means and therefore, inevitably, the temptation to manipulate the
behavior and intellectual functioning of all the people through
environmental and biochemical manipulation of the brain.’

President Reagan allowed himself to be used by the globalist machine
bent on destroying everything Ronnie pretended to stand for –
traditional values, honesty, courage, strength. Reagan complained
about the top 19 positions filled by Trilateral Commission members in
the Carter administration criticizing that it too closely aligned with
banks and transnationals, yet after elected Reagan turned around and
employed10 Trilateralists in his transition team and in his top posts
too like his CFR-Trilateralist VP George H.W. Bush. A lifelong devotee
of FDR, Reagan started off as a liberal Democrat. Ronald Reagan had a
pervasive pattern of staying in stride with the changing wind of the
times, becoming a hardened Soviet hater during the cold war. He rode
this high horse mantra to legendary fame as the oligarch appointed
leader and declared cold war winner in the behind the scenes
arrangement East-West oligarchs made to collapse the Soviet Empire in
favor of free world raping by the West that opened the floodgate to
Russian mafia plundering. The real name of the game was globalization
and privatization that arrived as transnational corporate-IMF
exploitation. Reagan ignored the AIDS epidemic, a grotesque lapse of
caring about those mostly afflicted that happened to be gay.

Also following suit with his fellow GOP SoCal buddy Nixon, as a
private citizen Reagan treasonously tampered in off limit foreign
affairs, secretly making a deal with Iran to hold off handing over the
American hostages until after he got elected. And then when the
corrupt unlawful depravity of gun running for crack cocaine
Iran-Contra affair was exposed, Reagan suddenly showed his first signs
of dementia in his failure to recall much of anything when it came to
his favorite Marine Corp criminal Ollie North. Vice President Bush as
former CIA director was in charge. Despite Reagan’s “freedom fighters”
being murdering marauders killing thousands of their own in the
Central American countryside, as long as they were on the right team,
Reagan’s anti-Commie busters, they were the good guys. He was
complicit in giving the green light to genocide in Guatemala. Reagan
used the same lying tactics to demonize Nicaraguan Sandinista leader
Daniel Ortega as Obama team is still doing today with Venezuela’s
Nicolas Maduro and Russian President Putin. Yet Ortega and longtime so
called Communist enemy Cuban Fidel Castro have been courted guests at
the Council on Foreign Relations on several occasions.

Though Reagan publicly championed small government, in reality he was
big government all the way, adding bureaucracy, not taking it away as
promised. He was revered for his tax-cutting yet Americans were paying
more taxes by the end of his eight years than before he began. In the
end his budget was 50% higher than Carter’s and the budget deficit had
tripled. All this belied his hyper-inflated glory because he was
spending more on arms and the military than any time since WWII.
Reagan was a B actor in Hollywood and an A actor in Washington though
the phony veneer was not difficult to detect. But the populace that
longed for the traditional values of the good old days would do it all
over again voting against their own best interest defenselessly
smitten by the disingenuous charm of a two-bit actor from the West. We
all lose while once again the New World Order leaps forward in bounds
especially when the torch is handed off to the Bush NWO crime
syndicate.

No other president in the history of the United States has made his
views toward one world government more public than globalist Skull and
Bones man George H.W. Bush (1989-1993). He signed the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) deal with Mexico that was good for only
big business resulting in lost jobs and destroying small businesses in
the US. Making continental and regional alliances and trade deals are
the globalist steppingstone to New World Order and world government.
Bush is big believer in the globalist vision of the UN and world court
as the closest manifestation to his one world government. He signed
the UN Agenda 21 along with leaders in 178 nations that is the
globalist plan for their New World Order under the guise of
sustainability. So every chance he got Bush was promoting his NWO:

The world can therefore seize the opportunity [Persian Gulf crisis] to
fulfill the long-held promise of a New World Order where diverse
nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal
aspirations of mankind.

After giving Saddam Hussein the go-ahead to invade Kuwait, the first
Bush used the first Gulf War to promote the self-interests of both the
globalists and their transnational corporations in the Middle East,
but always in a self-righteous moralistic tone:

If we do not follow the dictates of our inner moral compass and stand
up for human life, then his lawlessness will threaten the peace and
democracy of the emerging new world order we now see, this long
dreamed-of vision we’ve all worked toward for so long.

When he bombed Iraqi water treatment plants and hospitals that caused
a half million children to needlessly die, Bush senior’s moral compass
pointed straight to demonic hell because that’s where this psychopath
lives. The Bush crime family pass their evil down from one generation
to the next. His involvement in child sex trafficking is yet one more
can of worms in his family closet.

CFR Skull and Bones man Bill Clinton (1993-2001) with a dozen cabinet
members his fellow CFR props just goes to show us that regardless of
political party, Democrat or Republican, the globalist agenda is one
and the same. He too signed NAFTA selling Americans down the river.
Andrew Reding of the World Policy Institute said:

NAFTA will signal the formation, however tentatively, of a new
political unit — North America. With economic integration will come
political integration. By whatever name, this is an incipient form of
international government. Following the lead of the Europeans, North
Americans should begin considering formation of a continental
parliament.

Clinton’s under Secretary of State Strobe Talbot was quoted in a 1992
Time article predicting that in this century “nations as we know it
will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global
authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.”

Yet another Skullduggerist George W. Bush’s (2001-2009) war crime
policy that placed the US on a collision course with the New World
Order after the treasonous neocon inside job of 9/11 has been followed
to the T by Obama. This tells us that the invisible powerbrokers
behind the public faces are calling the shot regardless of party
puppet. And of course Hillary is the same as Bill is the same as Obama
is the same as Bush Jr. is the same as Jeb is the same as Bush senior
is the same as Woodrow Wilson is the same as FDR and every other
president over this last full century.

For 100 years now the globalist movement has been out to usurp our
national sovereignty, replacing it with a one world government with
one currency soon eclipsed by a microchip. There has been a war on
both religion and family in this country just as individual rights are
being attacked. Loyalty to the collective group above all else has
been taught in the federalized public education brainwash called
Common Core. Secrecy abounds in a totalitarian state. The militant
Orwellian arm of child protective services and the thoroughly broken
foster care system in this country are also at war with the American
family. Obama and company have been busy making secret deals with the
UN as part of the preparation for enactment of the Agenda 21. Still
another NWO policy in both North America and Europe is the free
anduninterrupted flow of immigration, pitting races, classes,
religions and nationalities against each other.

Since the CFR’s founding in 1921, there have been 21 secretaries of
defense or war, 19 secretaries of the treasury, 17 secretaries of
state, and 15 CIA directors all taking their marching orders from the
Council on Foreign Relations, the government offshoot of the globalist
agenda of one world government. With all these NWO plants saturating
every presidential administration for a century now, their
invisibility is now shattered. The plain truth that our government has
been taken over and hijacked by criminal psychopaths whose only
loyalty is to the oligarchs that own and control them. Of course
what’s been happening to America has also been happening to Europe
with the European Union. The proliferation of regional trade
agreements are expediting this one world agenda all over the globe.

All the globalists worldwide are traitors to their constitutional
oaths they once swore to uphold and protect as well as traitors to the
people that they also took oaths to serve. They are brazenly now
violating the US Constitution, every citizen’s civil liberties and
pursuit of happiness and security because they are at war with the
American people. The militarized police state makes us all easy
targets by the shadow rogue government now in crime syndicate power
carrying out a globalist eugenics plan to drastically reduce the human
population on earth. Whether by soft kill or hard, it doesn’t much
matter to them, the endgame is the same – lower the current 7.2
billion of us down to a half to one billion people that will be the
zombie class of subservient lackeys left serving the needs of the
ruling elite. In the face of what we are now up against, honoring our
dishonorable treasonous presidents no longer seems like a good idea.
Waking up and rejecting their tyranny does.

Starbucks’ Armenian Faux Pas

STARBUCKS’ ARMENIAN FAUX PAS

EurasiaNet.org
Feb 20 2015

February 20, 2015 – 10:33am, by Giorgi Lomsadze

Amidst an angry backlash from Armenian-Americans, Starbucks has
removed from cafes around Los Angeles artwork depicting women in
Armenian national dress under Turkish flags.

The coffee chain was apparently attempting to cater to LA’s large
ethnic Armenian community , but anyone with a smattering of an
understanding of Armenian-Turkish relations — or of Google searches
— could see how displaying such a poster could go awfully wrong;
especially ahead of the centennial commemoration of the slaughter of
over a million ethnic Armenians in Turkey.

With the centennial planned for April 24, the century-old dispute
about whether or not the killings amounted to genocide has reached
a fever-pitch. Armenia already has withdrawn from a largely defunct
reconciliation plan with Turkey.

The Armenian National Committee for America, a Diaspora group,
launched a social-media campaign at #boycottstarbucks deeming the art
“Tasteless!” and calling for the coffee-colossus to remove the photos
and apologize.

The outpouring reportedly prompted the company to do just that. “We
missed the mark here and we apologize for upsetting our customers
and the community,” Starbucks representative said in comments to an
Armenian-American news service, Asbarez.

In separate comments to RFE/RL, the company stated that it is working
to make sure “this image is not in any other Starbucks locations.”

With the centennial approaching, more controversy is like to come.

Although, this time, from a comic-book publisher.

Devil’s Due, a North American comic-book publisher that says it
“embraces new, even risky concepts,” announced a comic-strip project
for April dedicated to the World-War-I-era Armenian tragedy. The
plot is based on real events; namely, the 1921 assassination of
controversial Turkish leader Talaat Pasha by an Armenian revolutionary,
Soghomon Tehlirian.

How Devil’s Due decided on the idea is not clear, but PR was the goal
for a pan-Armenian flash-mob slotted for April. The project calls
on Armenians to film themselves, lit candle in hand, inviting other
ethnic Armenians to travel to Armenia in April to light a candle
together in memory of the events of 1915.

Karabakh Rules Out Release Of Jailed Azerbaijani Nationals

KARABAKH RULES OUT RELEASE OF JAILED AZERBAIJANI NATIONALS

Big News Network, Australia
Feb 19 2015

RFE Thursday 19th February, 2015

Authorities in Azerbaijan’s breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh have
refused to consider the release of two Azerbaijani nationals who were
convicted and jailed last year on charges of committing a number of
crimes, including murder.

Azerbaijan does not recognize the legality of the trial in which its
citizens, Dilham Askerov and Shahbaz Quliyev, were sentenced to life
and 22 years in prison, respectively.

Askerov, 54, and Quliyev, 46, are charged with murder, espionage,
illegal border crossing, and illegal weapons possession.

Authorities in the self-proclaimed government of Nagorno-Karabakh
say they crossed into the breakaway region on July 12 and killed an
officer of its military.

Azerbaijani officials say the self-proclaimed government, which is
not recognized by any nation, has no legal right to try the men.

Baku and Yerevan have been locked in a conflict over Azerbaijan’s
breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh for years.

Armenian-backed separatists seized the mainly Armenian-populated
region from Azerbaijan during a war in the early 1990s that killed
some 30,000 people and displaced many more.

Diplomatic efforts to settle the conflict have brought little progress.

So Brad Pitt Ate A Slice …

SO BRAD PITT ATE A SLICE …

How the pizza place Ellen ordered from at last year’s Oscars has
parlayed its three minutes of fame.

By Jason Feifer

Ellen DeGeneres strode onto the stage first. “Pizza’s here!” she said.

Behind her followed a stunned delivery guy named Edgar, holding three
boxes of the finest pie Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria has on offer.

“Hello,” Edgar said to Hollywood’s assembled royalty. And then
for three minutes–the most memorable of last year’s Oscars, made
extraordinary by its ordinariness–the two distributed slices to the
hungry likes of Meryl Streep and Harrison Ford. The pizza shop swears
it had no idea this was going to happen; Edgar says he had been told he
was delivering pizza to the crew, and then Ellen led him out past the
curtains. Given what ABC charges for a 30-second ad during the Oscars,
TMZ calculated that Big Mama’s & Papa’s 180 seconds of sunshine was
worth $10.8 million.

It seemed like a crazy blip for an otherwise obscure pizzeria,
good for maybe a few weeks of increased sales. But one year later,
we can see the profound effect that $10.8 million in unexpected free
advertising has had. Big Mama’s ambitions have been amplified, and
the chain is aiming to go global.

Big Mama’s has a romantic origin story: In 1992, as teenagers not yet
fluent in English, Armenian immigrant brothers Aro and Allen Agakhanyan
opened a 500-square-foot pizza shop that they’d work at for hours after
high school let out. They’ve since grown the company to 20 locations
in and around L.A., some owned by them and others franchised. (Edgar,
who delivered to the Oscars, is a franchisee.) And they’ve gained
local notoriety for living up to the “Big” in their name: They serve
a 54-inch, 200-slice “Giant Sicilian”: the Guinness World Records
calls it the largest deliverable pizza in the world. In January,
Miley Cyrus posted a photo of herself in front of one on Facebook.

One of the brothers’ locations is near DeGeneres’ studio in Burbank,
and they say her staff orders from it frequently. But during the
biggest delivery in the company’s history, only one brother, Aro, was
watching. Allen was working late at the office when someone called,
frantically telling him what was going on. He immediately called his
brother. “We had been waiting for a great opportunity to come, and
this was it,” Allen says. “And that’s when we decided, right away,
we’ve got to get a hold of Lou and Ray.”

Even the greatest accomplishment can start to look like a crutch,
something you show off for lack of any other accolade.

Lou and Ray are Lou Franson, former president of Hooters and managing
director of Arby’s International, and Ray Perry, former COO of
Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s. They had teamed up as restaurant consultants
and had met with the Agakhanyan brothers a few years prior to talk
about expansion. Nothing came of the meeting back then, but suddenly
everything was different. “The day after the Oscars, I get a call,
and all I hear is, ‘We need help!’ ” Franson says. New investors
and potential franchisees were calling the brothers. Customers were
ordering pizza as if the stars were in the back tossing dough. The
restaurant veterans signed on immediately.

Franson says they knew the brand couldn’t be built on one TV moment, no
matter how many A-listers had been involved. “From a legal standpoint,
we had to be very careful,” he says. They don’t actually own the
rights to any of the Oscars images, and it’s not as if Brad Pitt
can be called an official sponsor, as much as he did seem to enjoy
his slice. There’s also a risk of overplaying the moment, like an
Olympian who wears his medal when he goes grocery shopping. Even the
greatest accomplishment can start to look like a crutch, something
you show off for lack of any other accolade.

But Franson and Perry are plotting a way around all this. They want
to use the brief blessing from the Oscars to present Big Mama’s &
Papa’s in a new light: as the embodiment of L.A. coolness. DeGeneres’
Oscar gag may have worked because the pizza joint seemed like a
local-yokel place–the kind that, frankly, Brad Pitt wouldn’t be
frequenting. But the company’s brochure for prospective franchisees
plays it differently: “Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria is a hot concept
that’s served hot out of the oven, but it’s definitely ‘Southern
California Cool’–as 43 million viewers saw when Oscars host Ellen
DeGeneres hand delivered Big Mama’s & Papa’s pizza slices to Hollywood
A-list stars.”

That’s the vision new franchisees will be buying into. But to make
it stick, Franson and Perry realize that they need to amp up the
company’s cool factor.

Step one: Big Mama’s needs a cool car. The company has partnered
with Mercedes-Benz to create a Smart car for deliveries. It’s an
eye-catching, if goofy, little thing: The car is vinyl-wrapped in
the company colors–red and yellow–and has a giant image of a pizza
on the door. On top is a custom-made insulated box, wider than the
car itself, which is built to hold that 200-slice monster. All new
franchisees are required to buy a pair of the cars.

Step two: Big Mama’s needs a cool look. That’s still in development,
Franson says, though he says the redesign will “capture a SoCal
lifestyle.” (So, a traffic jam motif?) Most of the existing locations
will be retrofitted with the new look, and all new ones will be built
in its image. The chain’s tiny Hollywood location, which I popped into
this week, could certainly use a lifestyle upgrade. Its mostly spare
walls are painted green and orange. The only sign of its proximity
to cool is a dinky Oscar trophy replica, perched on a shelf behind
the register, above a sign that says, “We reserve the right to refuse
service to anyone.”

And, crucially, step three: The Agakhanyan brothers need to export
the cool to points beyond L.A. The company is focused on signing
new franchisees in California, Arizona, and Nevada, but they’ve also
found a partner in Dubai. BinHendi Enterprises, a conglomerate that
has launched everything from luxury hotels to fine dining across the
Gulf and Middle East, has committed to opening two Big Mama’s in the
region this year, with more expected to follow. The company didn’t
respond to a request for comment, but it’s likely that they expect
L.A. coolness to play well in internationally minded Gulf cities. It’s
worked for other retailers: New York’s Magnolia Bakery, made famous on
Sex and the City, is now also in Beirut, Doha, Dubai, and Kuwait City.

In pitching regional attitude, Big Mama’s is making a different play
than many of its competitors. “Many successful regional chains are
capitalizing on the fast casual dining trend,” says IBISWorld analyst
Andrew Alvarez, who watches the pizza industry. He’s talking about the
Chipotle-style, customize-everything movement that’s been killing the
likes of McDonald’s. Customization can play well in the $38.7 billion
pizza industry, which is expected to grow an estimated 2 percent
annually for the next five years. PizzaRev, also from Los Angeles, has
19 locations and another 29 coming. Pie Five Pizza, based in Texas,
has 26 franchises, with 40 more planned for this year and another
200 in the pipeline. Both are hot on customization that goes beyond
the usual selection of toppings: Customers can also pick the type of
dough, sauce, and cheese. PizzaRev’s slogan is “Craft Your Own.”

Big Mama’s & Papa’s has plenty of options, too. You want gluten-free
pizza? Whole wheat? Pizza in the shape of a gondola, filled with
the toppings of your choice along with two sunny-side eggs? They’ve
got it. But now the real test of its coolness will begin: Another
Oscars will have come and gone, this time, presumably, without any
high-profile on-air catering, and Big Mama’s will be left to create its
own momentum. The Agakhanyan brothers aren’t sweating it. They always
envisioned making a push like this, seeing how far their ambitions
could take them. “The brand was going to expand regardless,” Allen
says. “What the Oscars did, it sped things up. It’s just a matter of
timing.” And in pizza delivery, timing is everything.
