>1) He is obviously enchanted with fame and prominence, otherwise he would NOT have traded his friend and supporter, Farid, for more "prominent" machismo Bourgeoisie Assyrians.

...fame and fortune are a part of the business world he inhabits...the more fame, the more fortune....and his fame was a big part of getting the Ashurbanipal where it is...on my own I would have had a devilish time convincing anyone I was serious or to be trusted...but with Narsai's active support and Ana Eshoo lending us her name and reputation...doors opened far more quickly, not to mention wallets...them's the realities...

...he knows I support the principle of helping people..he also counted on me NOT to take the piece away from him, to be bigger than the dweebs he works with...I can forgive him all of the other stuff and keep my eyes on the prize...and so can he. I have said some rather awful and hurtful things about him...things he had coming but were none the less painful to hear and see broadcast over the web...still, he overlooked MY actions because he believes in my work and, at some level, in me too. We are BOTH dealing with nincompoops, trying to see over their heads to the larger issue at hand..but, for right now, these are the only "Assyrians" out there...and we have to cater to them somewhat.

>2) He would NOT have turned thousands of dollars worth of art donations from a phenomenal Assyrian sculpture, (in fact the ONLY one) and an old friend, to appease a circle of fascist and immoral Assyrians.

...the AIDS group is NOT a Tyranny...like some Dadeeshooville I could mention...it is rather a group of people who, for better or worse, attempt to function along democractic lines so that everyone's opinion can be heard and weighed equally...the group vote was to reject my donation...that doesn't mean Narsai liked it...but I would be even more disappointed in him if he up and walked out in a huff and played Bingo instead..he is committed, the event is a few days away, this is NOT the time to grandstand or to be "loyal" to a pal..no real pal would allow it.

>3) He would NOT be part of an event in which only members of ONE Assyrian party attend annually, namely Zowaa. He would have, at one point, to look around and see that it’s the same people that attend, and they are ALL affiliated with ONE party, and all the donations from his event go to that ONE party!

..that is not his problem..it is a problem in the community of dunderheads of ALL parties we have...if he tries to appease one group, the other gets pissed and so on...his job is to put on the BEST damn show and event he can...it's up to the rest to behave in an adult manner and support it. You aren't responsible for Kanno's views and neither is Narsai responsible for the imbecility surrounding him.

>4)-He would NOT be the president of a fund-raising society that fund-raises for ONE Assyrian party, and not others,

...this is Dadeeshoos tired war horse about how AIDS money goes to ZOWAA..it does not. It can't be helped that as of now ZOWAA has the people on the ground willing to take the risks in getting the generators and supplies out to the remote villages...if anything AIDS USES ZOWAA to conduct things on the ground over there...Narsai can't do that as well...and neither can he dictate whom they hire and fire...this is NOT a Dadeeshoo event in which one man and his moustache rule.


and does NOT have a say HOW that money will be spent by that party.

...there is no party...they have a newsletter that spells out exactly what and how much and where...something Dadeeshoo never heard of...anyone can file a complaint anywhere such things are done and demand an audit...Narsai is too astute to play these silly games..he has no political or national axe to grind...he could give a shit which midget hollars the loudest...his ONE concern is to use his ability and status to make a difference...and he has.

And please don’t deny that Farid, because it is true.

...oh...okay. If you say so.

You can go into Zinda archives and see all the ads of AIDS which fundraises for ONE party only, and that is ZOWAA.

...you show us where there is an add that links AIDS and ZOWAA in any way and declares that one is raising funds for the other...I have no doubt that in Phoenix and Timbuktu there are assholes who work for ZOWAA who are only too glad to make that connection, and who may weel work for AIDS as well...but this also is not Narsai's responsibility..if anyone is responsible for the assholes out there it is US.

Additionally, you can go into paltalk anytime, and listen to how AIDS is described as a branch of Zowaa by Zowaa leaders. No more pretenses, please.

..that also has nothing to do with Narsai...you can also hear dime store Christians describe how they are the children of Ashurbanipal..that is THEIR fantasy...that is all. People in ZOWAA may well wish to take credit for everything including sliced bread..let them...that STILL won't stop Narsai...who knows how to keep his eyes fixed on the prize.

>5) He would not be part of an organization that refuses to be accountable to the money they receive from AIDS.

...you're babbling now...he is NOT a part of ZOWAA...the only organization he is a part of, AIDS, regularly discloses and accounts for the money that passes through. Narsai has been to Washington, to high profile people and events...he'd hardly play silly games in AIDS and then go make a public spectacle of himself...you're using a Dadeeshoo ruler to measure a Narsai mountain.

Narsai is under scrutiny right now because he is being questioned by various organizations and leaders as to how the funding of Zowaa was conducted and where the money went!

...they can scrutinize his asshole and then mine next...they can ask all the fucking questions they want to, their "concerns" do not translate into a "crisis" for Narsai...they are gunning for Narsai for the same reason you claimed Tony was out for you..because he is a SUCCESSFUL ASSYRIAN and they can think of no better way to attack him than to call his mother a whore OR imply that he is profiting somehow, OR dishonest...he could make REAL money in the time he gives to AIDS.

...you should know better from your own experience as an exceptional woman than to believe the nay-sayers YOU like.

Do you think he will drop his Bourgeoisie friends and cohorts that will back him up at this crucial moment to back you up? I think not! He knows that when it's time to testify, he will need them, NOT you.

...testify??? Are you mad??? testify WHERE...before WHOM? For WHAT??? I do not EXPECT him to back ME up...this is not about ME...it's about how best to serve the people in Iraq...if right now he feels he has to go through with this year's event...and sells my donation on the side to raise the money for AIDS...that's fine with both of us...I don't call it "loyalty" to stay "friends" with ME while hurting the people of Iraq....what he might well do however is begin to look a little harder at the people using him...and that would be the best thing to come out of all this...the man can EASILY host a night of dining and an art auction that will bring in MORE than catering to these factions will...it's up to him.
>
>He can be perfectly honest, moral, etc., etc., and his heart may be in the right place, but he would have to also eventually be smart and understand what these people are and the games they play to bring other Assyrians down for exposing them, their motives, and their status.

...I agree...but NOT because of any ZOWAA connection...ZOWAA is no better or worse than that fried banana you work with. Narsai is.

>Don't cry for me Assyria!!!!

...so long as you don't scream DADEESHOOOOO!!!
