Federal MP Stuart Robert ­became the middleman in a bid to secure a statement from an Aust­ralian detained in Dubai over a soured property deal to help a Gold Coast developer and Liberal Party donor.

Mr Robert, dumped from the Turnbull ministry last year over links to donors, briefly acted as a broker in 2013 for Sunland boss Soheil Abedian to elicit a supporting statement from Australian Marcus Lee over a dispute involving the developer in Dubai.

Soheil Abedian (Australian Baha'i)

At the time, Mr Lee and fellow Australian Matthew Joyce had been detained without trial in Dubai for almost four years after the developer gave evidence against them.

In early 2013, the Gold Coast MP acted as the intermediary ­between friends of Mr Lee and Mr Abedian, who purportedly ­offered to write a letter to prosecut­ors in Dubai to help ­secure his release in exchange for a statutory declaration from the Australian.

Just months earlier in parliament, the federal MP and friend of Mr Abedian had defended Sunland, which he described as a “solid Australian citizen’’.

It has emerged that the speech was largely lifted from briefing notes supplied by Sunland’s then lobbyist Simone Holzapfel, who donated $114,000 to Mr Robert’s fundraising entity in 2013.

Emails obtained by The Weekend Australian show Mr Robert and Mr Lee’s friend, Rosemary Adam, discussing the deal to ­secure a statutory declaration for the developer.

“I’ve spoken again to Soheil and he would like the statutory declaration please,’’ Mr Robert wrote on February 13, 2013. “Can I also sound a quick note personally that I think time is now running out for Marcus to have a bargaining chip, as it were.’’

Mr Robert yesterday defended his involvement in the proposal, which didn’t go ahead after Mr Lee refused to be a “bargaining chip’’ or give a statement about dealings of which he had no knowledge.

“I was approached by a friend of Marcus (after the speech in parliament) and I acted as a postbox between the two parties; that was all I did,’’ Mr Robert said.

Mr Joyce and Mr Lee were released by the United Arab Emirates government in December 2013, after almost five years in jail and home detention over a property deal gone wrong.

Their case was tested in a paral­­lel case in the Victorian Sup­reme Court in 2012, with a damn­ing ruling against Sunland, which was found to have had a “wilful disregard of known facts”.

Official declarations show the Sunland Group donated more than $35,000 to the Liberal National Party at fundraising events and in donations between 2013 and last year.

Mr Robert this week dismissed Labor attacks of “cash for comment’’ over his 2012 defence of Sunland after it emerged his speech in parliament was largely lifted from briefing notes supplied by Ms Holzapfel, a former longtime adviser of Tony Abbott.

Months after Mr Robert ­delivered the speech, Ms ­Holz­apfel gave more than $110,000 of her “own money’’ to Mr Robert’s fundraising entity, the Fadden Forum.

It was revealed by The Australian this week that Ms Holzapfel owed more than $430,000, ­including $355,000 to the Australian Taxation Office, when she donated $114,000 in 12 separate payments in mid-2013, ahead of the federal election.

Leila Alavi killed with scissors, police reveal, as estranged husband refused bail.

Mr Monty said Mr Hosseiniamraei followed the Baha'i faith and they were married at the Australian House of Worship on Sydney's northern beaches in 2011.
Ms Alavi was "like an angel with a bright smile", Mr Monty said.

"This is just a tragedy and we are all in shock. I looked to her as a sister. She was the most adorable person you could come across."

(A CRY FROM THE HEART from a Persian Baha’i: Ahmad Karimpour’)

“Dear Friends,
I read your letter dated 20/08/02 with disgust and have decided to respond to you in English and set the record straight concerning the violation of my human and Baha’i rights and your continued coercive and intimidatory behaviour.

Your initial correspondence to this servant contained false and inaccurate allegations. You failed to conduct an independent enquiry and find out the merits of the case presented to you. You recorded as factual the rumours forwarded to you by a number of ill-intentioned and attention-seeking individuals, some of whom are regarded as the “learned!”. You accepted the unsubstantiated gossips of wrong-doers and did not bother to hear my side of the argument. On this count you have failed in one of the basic teachings of our beloved faith: the Independent Investigation of the Truth.

You demanded from me, to recant my alleged association with an organisation I know nothing about and threatened me with sanctions of I did not comply. Though I objected to your bias and prejudice so clearly evident from the tone of your letter, I drafted a short reply and complied with your wishes. I did so purely out of my love for Baha’u'llah and the martyrs of the Faith, whom I had the pleasure of knowing.

Yet in your most recent reply, you once again threaten me with sanctions even though I have complied with your every request. I take refuge in God from your harassments. Your tactics of thought control, inquisition, violation of my individual rights (innocent until proven guilty), intimidation, threats and sanctions are in complete violation of the role and function of a Spiritual Assembly as foretold by Abd’ul Baha and Shoghi Effendi. Your actions resemble the 14th century Inquisition by the Roman Catholic priests.

George Orwell ( 1903 –1950 )

Your continued harassment of this servant on false charges, have drawn a wedge in our family and resulted in the desertion of the Faith by my daughter – something even the mullahs were incapable of doing.

You have demonstrated to be a puppet in the hands of a few un-elected evil individuals with fancy titles. Persons who can say what they like and commit what wrong-doings they can without being questioned. I ask you, to whom shall we turn to, if these individuals one day rape our children? Why are they above the law?

Anyone who questions their evil methods and intentions, is labelled a “covenant breaker” and cast out of the Faith. Disagreement with them is seen as “trying to build a following” or “campaigning against the covenant”. Free speech and expressions of opinion are stifled through the imposition of a soviet style conformity with the system. One is persecuted for thinking independently and threatened with sanctions. Big Brother is watching every where and George Orwell’s 1984 is re- lived before our very eyes.

Pauline Hanson

In the mean time “Entry by Troops” becomes “Desertion by Troops” and even the thought-police are not able to halt the un-precendented desertions from the faith that we are witnessing today. In attempting to impose their vain imaginings on individuals, the racist policies of Apartheid and Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party are practiced in disguise. Justice and equality amongst the Bahai’s has given way to the creation of a new class of clergy with unlimited powers to silence any signs of independent thinking or free enquiry.

For the record, I wish to state the following:

1 – If you intend to cast me out of the faith (and yet have no solid reason for doing so), feel free to let me know. My daughters and I will happily resign en masse and grant your wish.

2 – If this event takes place, I reserve my full rights as an Australian citizen and a free individual to raise my case and demand justice through other sources / authorities.

You can never control my heart and faith“. . . . .


“I make a clear distinction between the Faith of Baha’u'llah and the evil intentions of those who seek leadership positions within the Baha’i administration. Oppression will always be evident in the light of history.

You have failed to be the “loving shepherds” you are meant to be. Choosing to play politics and please the un-elected few is in direct contravention of what you are elected for. “

 Regards,
 Ahmad Karimpour Perth – WA

One More High Level Baha’i Scam :
 

(Please read the following news item with background that the Baha’i Faith officially proclaims that “ purpose of Core activities of Baha’is is  to assist in the transformation and betterment of society.")

Recently 5 individuals tied to the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Australia were booked by Australian Law Enforcement authorities for drug trafficking. Three of these individuals have since been sentenced and decision on the two is pending. 

The three sentenced individuals are:

1) Erfan Isfahani (member of the National Teaching Committee & Youth Year of Service Committee)

2) Arash Kalani (member of the National Teaching Committee member & Youth Year of Service Committee)

3) Sahba Yazdani

These individuals were trafficking MDMA pills as well as a new illegal substance on the streets known as ICE and other assorted narcotic pills.

Erfan Isfahani and Arash Kalani were regular representatives of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Australia and were proceeding on its travel teaching campaigns to the Solomon Islands (and other assorted Micronesian islands) as representatives of Australian National Youth Committee. Baha’is openly prosletyze their cult at these locations (perhaps with drugs as added attraction). Both Erfan and Arash have been convicted by courts in the state of the Western Australia for narcotics trafficking and supply, including the sentence of supply to minors.

Sahba Yazdani was convicted twice with his appeal overturned. He was the lead supplier. An Australian Federal Police sting operation, in joint cooperation with the State of Western Australia Police, revealed that Mr Yazdani was the regions drug kingpin, representing a shadowy figure whose identity he refuses to disclose. Fire arms as well as
illegal drugs were found in his house and vehicle.

Sahba Yazadani is noted to have made hefty contributions to the Baha'i National Fund and to the Baha'i International Fund. Obviously all these hefty contributions to the Baha'i funds were from his occupation as a drug dealer. Neither the National Spiritual Assembly of Australia nor the Baha'i International Community have to date returned or surrendered to Australian law enforcement officials such contributions.

 Strangely, Baha’is do not accept funds from non-Baha’is – why should they, when loads of money is available through illegal short-cuts? Also, if they accept funds from Non-Baha’is they would be expected to give audit details. Life is simpler and more manageable with Baha’i funds. 

 

Unexplainably, Michael Curriotti - the solicitor for the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Australia - was the attorney representing Sahba Yazadani during his trial. Questions abound as to the identity of the shadowy lead kingpin figure of this Baha'i drug ring, which Yazdani refuses to give, and rumours abound that he/she is a Baha'i living in Sydney.! 

 

Apparently the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Australia knows who this individual is, but are playing dumb to law enforcement authorities, misleading them in their investigation, refusing to give disclose identity of this individual.

My suggestion to the Australian Federal Police is that to learn the identity of this individual they must question the Baha'i body itself including its attorney, Mr Michael Curiotti. Also, the Authorities should realize why the Baha’I Faith is banned in about a dozen countries and why they have been driven from their own country – Iran.
While baha'i cultists on USENET can maliciously accuse sincere individuals and bonafide spiritual communities who use Ayahuasca (a substance technically not illegal in Australia and now protected by the United States Supreme court in a recent ruling), for being drug addicts and drug traffickers, they are hypocritically silent about the cases of bona fide drug abuse and illegal narcotics traffic by members and authorities of their own community.

Furthermore, the Baha'i authorities enrich their coffers from the monies of court convicted drug pushers speaks volumes about the corruption of this abusive and corrupt Stalinist cult.

Here is one more shady cult exposed. Hollow words on virtues and development of children and youth ultimately lead here. It is high time that a full-fledged enquiry is initiated on activities of this cult. Also, an alert be sounded in Australia, including its neighbouring islands to citizens to be vigilant about the Baha’i Faith initiatives.

May the Lord protect us from any deviation, whatsoever, Amen.

A 16-year-old Perth boy who encouraged girls to perform sex acts on a webcam then posted them on Facebook did not know it was illegal, his lawyer says.

The teenager was due to be sentenced in the Perth Children's Court on Monday but Judge Denis Reynolds adjourned the matter to consider whether or not to send the boy into detention for his crime.

The charges include encouraging a child over the age of 13 and under the age of 16 to do an indecent act, attempting to procure a child aged over 13 and under 16 to do an indecent act, and distributing child exploitation material, namely a digital file.

The court heard on Monday that the boy created a Facebook account in the name of a known bully and used the account to threaten the girls into exposing themselves and performing sex acts on a webcam, which he then posted on Facebook for their friends to see.

The boy's lawyer, Annie O'Neill, told the court her client knew his actions were wrong based on his Baha'i faith, but did not know it was illegal.

Ms O'Neill said it was "horrifying" how easy it was for young people to gain access to pornographic material online at a time when they were just beginning to explore their sexuality.

"My client is still very young indeed," she said.

Ms O'Neill said her client took "full responsibility" for his actions and was remorseful, especially because he had been bullied in the past and knew what it felt like.

He also had the support of his Iranian migrant parents, who were ashamed and embarrassed by their son's behavior and took immediate steps to ground him and ban him from using the computer, Ms O'Neill said.

The boy's mother wept in court while he sat quietly with his head down during proceedings.

Judge Reynolds said the matter needed "careful consideration" and adjourned the matter to May 27.
