[edit] Activism

Sahraeean from early stage of his life on Leopoldino Francisca University, Austria has found a student movement for establish the democracy and freedom in Iran. Thus by his return to Iran (1970) He was imprisoned, which it became repeatedly his destiny while consecutive years of his academic career on the Iranian university.

During the period of 1996-2005, Sahraeean did re-establish his thoughts for democracy and freedom in academic framework, called young Elites Productionist Academy of Iran, where step by step, the academy became the meeting shelter for Iranian discontented elites, intellectuals, economists, and university professors, with the hope to become able for influencing the thoughts of the official decision makers, toward reforms and moderation of the governmental world vision as well as making them to logical understand the necessity of process of economic and social development. Professor Marduki, chief economic studies of the Iranian budget and planning organization, has described the new essay of Sahraeean as "Calling on Governmental Authorities to return back to the Econo-Social rationalism" for prevention of an explosion of poverty.[citation needed]

Depressed from decline of his long struggle for a peaceful evolution of the democracy process, accompanied with a comprehensive Reform projects for changing the international image of the country and authorities political behavior toward the peoples Econo-Social life, being disregarded the essential facts of rational thought by the political apparatus, in December 2005, Sahraeean did found the national movement of poverty, gathering the economically oppressed students, well known Iranian scholars and noble thinkers, with the hope to attract the political apparatus of the Islamic Régime of Iran to follow the advises of movement in favor of rational thinking in face of the world community and domestic social economic harsh problems such as poverty in daily growth. Currently Sahraeean serves as chairman of Young Elite's academy and leads the fresh founded Iran poverty movement.

[edit] Theories

Sahraeean believes that "The main reason for decline of western democracy in the Middle East, lays in the objective look of the western democracy to the issues of the Islamic Societies of the Middle East. Thus the objective based political conclusions toward the Islamic Societies of the region are much deceiving."[citation needed]

The negligence of the western democracy to understand the social problems of the invisible underclass of the oil rich Muslim societies of the Middle East by a subjective point of view, caused a much larger problem namely Islamic extremism, which pretty soon became globalized.

In absence of a subjective based social analysis the western civilization began to prescribe the establishment of western democracy for those much sophisticated Muslim societies. In consequence, the marginal claimed on the wings of religious brave, intimidate the intellectuals and political nobles of the society, by grasping to the "Election", as the main matter of Democracy, took over the political power of the society and intent ally left out the other two most important a priories of democracy, in fact the human rights declaration and the personal and social freedoms of the humankinds. Because those two a priories of western democracy are not in accordance to the Islamic lectures, according to the Islamic extremists.

However by having a subjective base of knowledge about the social economy of the Muslim societies of the region, would have provide the western civilization with the reality that an approach for implementation of democracy in the oil-rich Middle East, needs a process stage of social and economic development for creation of middle class and for decrease the size of the underclass, minimize the gap between rich and poor, and create a middle class that has the impulse for guarding the elements of democracy.

By collection the experiences from continued field studies, Sahraeean is much convinced that the power keepers, would never desire a realistic economic and social development of the society. Otherwise with expansion of Middle class, they will be losing their main ground of their support and source of power.

And this hesitation toward economic development would be the true threat for the western civilization. Annual increase of the economic and social refugees to Europe is just the beginning of long term social standstill of the western democracy and an allocation of the cultural conflict from Near East and Middle East to Europe.

[edit] Economic freedoms

In his new theory "Productionalism" (1998) for Economic Development of the Developing Countries, Sahraeean – based on his several field studies concludes that: "…in those societies the economic freedom of persons certainly is prior to the political freedom of persons. Once a person is overwhelmed with poverty, he becomes very fragile and harmful. Since the Poverty-stricken person has nothing to loose, he changes his votes with little Money. Which this reality was observed on several occasions. The Poverty-Stricken person, easily joins the extremist groups, and becomes the optimal mobile ground for acceptance of any kind of advises toward fanatic actions. Seeking for implementation of western type democracy in the societies with majority of poverty, would be a poison which turns back to the preachers of democracy.

[edit] Characteristic philosophy of SMES

In his third volume of "Productionalism" SME's (1999), Sahraeean brings the characteristic philosophy of the small and medium size production workshops to the attention as the optimal solution for driving the society toward: domestic and international responsibility. Because according to Sahraeean:

Usually a small workshop is owned and managed by a family. Therefore the "Family interest" encourages the family members to collectively protect their interests. This creates a kind of self-control inside the family over the insurgent youths.

By increase of productivity in the small workshop, the production costs would be decreases, the manufactured goods of the workshop becomes more competitive and causes new employments. In consequence stepwise, the Unemployment rate of the society will be lower down. It means more and more young persons get out of unemployment and become forced to take the responsibility toward their job interests.

Because of flexibility of the SME's production line, the management starts to expand its market share domestic and regional. The need on new technology and business contacts abroad becomes bold. In order to reach out the hand to new technology and new business contacts, the entire personal of the SME-because of collective interests – would not have other solution than to adopt a moderated behavior in face of their foreign partners.

Sahraeean by counting a serial number of natural character of production-business for keeping the established SME on growth; concludes that; by a natural constraint the individual small industries have no other choice but become a ring of an industrial long chain which from one side is connected to the large industries and from the end the chain is connected to the large distribution centers, the entire chain employers, their family members, the entire a posteriori, apriori and service linkages, for reason of collective interests going to be forced to change their Tendencies Toward Moderation of ,Politic ,economical, religious, and philosophic Behavior in the society . Once the economic freedom - by having a relative productive job - for a large number of the society members is realized, in order to maintain the realized living standard, the very same person would feel responsible and gives effort to stop the extremism by all means.

Sahraeean advises (1997) the international organizations specially the UN Orgs. To lead the international efforts toward industrial job creation by support the SME's, in the Islamic societies of the Middle East. Sahraeean believes that 50 Million unemployment till 2010 in the Middle East is a real threat for western civilization. Because a massive economic immigration to Europe will be taken place and cause a cultural conflict.

[edit] Green Revolution

Sahraeean in his research green revolution criticizes the theory of Ricardo effect (comparative costs) in international trade and emphasizes that the non developed countries will remain a producer of agriculture with consistent trade deficit, and this would cause the growth of poverty linked to extremism.

Sahraeean advises to assist the non developed countries for mechanization of their agriculture sector, creation of "Produce Preferences" of products with more added values, link the producing program in linkage to the industrial agriculture economy and let the developing country riches out to the new sources of money for investment in the productive job-creation and welfare installations. In consequence the Econo-immigration from agriculture pole to the large cities would become reversed the marginal of suburban immigrants which are the most optimal ground for personal logistic of extremism, decreases drastically.

[edit] Money laundering

The most controversial work of Sahraeean is his field study based research about money laundering in Iran and Middle East. Sahraeean succeeded to slide into the organized Afghani-Pakistan Drug Mafia and meet with two of the scariest Mafioso leaders. Who are in charge of financial support of Al-Qaida.

In his researches Sahraeean has unveiled the structure of well organized fanatic Wahabis under the leadership of Osama Bin Laden. In his research "Money Laundering", Sahraeean has unveiled the complicated structure of Bin Laden's Wahabi Organization, considered as the most dangerous Wahabism. Bin Laden believes that killing people who do not believe in Allah will allow the killer to go directly to heaven.

Cultivation, production and trade of drugs, is an efficient sward at the service of the holy war (Islamic Jihad) against the western unbelievers, which is practiced by the true obeying of god, according to Wahabism.

The Al-Qaida organization is formed on several layer of logistic, production, training, mass support, commanders, and clergies, expanded all over , golden triangle, Central Asia, with 200 heroin labors in the mountain on the Pakistani boarders, several poppy cultivation fields in the Afghani valley, some spiritual schools in north Pakistan and the militant training centers in western Afghanistan. Handling the drug matters of the Wahabi organization is equal to worship the god, and the good believers are obliged to this daily worship, according to the Mafias Leathers of Al-Quada.

Because drug is the legitimate weapon for success of the holy war against the western atheistic civilization. From one side the drug would devastate the soul of the youth-soul of atheistic civilizations, and from the other hand the drug money would provide the Bin Laden Organization with solid financial resources.

In his research, Sahraeean has drawn the road map of Bin-Ladan organization's money laundering. From collection stage on the streets, up to converting to consumable items, smuggled to Iran via Dubai, laundered at loan & savings non banking establishments, changed to hard currency and landing to the offshore banks. Annual amount of US$: 11.8 Billion Dollars.

A large number of Swiss Banks, Korean manufacturers, Foreign Financial and trade companies of India, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Channel Islands, Switzerland are involved in money laundering for the Bin Laden Organization. Unfortunately they have chosen Iran as a petrodollar rich country for their supply of hard currency.

Sahraeean emphasizes that the Iranian economy is controlled by seven power mafias. Three of them involved in selling the organized smuggled goods for laundering the 6 billion dollars of Afghani-Pakistani drug Mafiosi's, and making sure that in exchange, equivalent hard currency fly's to offshore banks of Switzerland, for that organization of Wahabism.

Sahraeean concludes, as long as the financial throat of Bin Laden Wahabism is in regular organized flew, the terrorism would be growing around the world, consistently. But according to fact based statement of Sahraeean to the World Bank and UN Delegations; many of western companies, banks and financial institutions of Europe and the dual faces of politic, does not seem to be ready to renounce the fat profit they earn from handling of $11.8 billion in good-smuggle, and laundering procedure from Hong Kong to Switzerland in favor of Ben Laden organization.

Finally, he regrets that the national economy of his homeland has become hostage to the Wahabism extremist organization.

[edit] Political life

In early stage of his life as student on University of Innsbruck Austria he was fascinated, by the philosophic thoughts of the Austrian social freedom. Sahraeean become an idealist freedom lover for his country and the neighboring countries of Middle East. Pretty soon he gathered his student colleagues and established a group of freedom fighters with much Idealistic goals. Later on the group did expansion it's thoughts for freedom and democracy to the other universities of Europe, where the similar tendencies among the students were in existence.

By return to his homeland he was arrested by Political Police of ex-Shah (SAVAK) and was jailed in 1970. With interference of the Austrian minister for high education professor Kolb, shah has released Sahraeean from jail. But Sahraeean did not drop his political activities on the Iranian universities for implementation of democracy and freedom, emphasized with fulfillment of the human rights declaration, in his country.

Thereafter on several occasions he became a political prisoner. After revolution of 1978. For his critics on serial executions of people by self-judgment of revolutionary ayatollahs, Sahraeean was again jailed. This time much harsher than ever. His entire wealth was confiscated and as a non-desired element was expelled from Iran.

During his complementary studies in Europe and USA, Sahraeean realized that Idealism would not lead his country to freedom and welfare. Democratic freedom of the society needs a pass through procedure from traditional commune thought, to an evolutionary formation of the society philosophy of life. Sahraeean became convinced that: … without a pre-developed cultural evolution of the society, processing the democracy in the developing countries like Iran, would be serving the political left & conservative extremists.

Sahraeean also warns that; processing of a premature democracy could be serving the economic interest groups, who are hidden behind the legitimate face of parliament, but in reality they seek to expand the trade monopole in their own favor, enforced by Mafiosi-like actions. And this leads the society to a dividation of poverty stricken majority and very rich minority.

Once United States President Ronald Reagan declared his War on Drugs, linked to Palermo convention of UN, in his first UN-research on international money laundering of drugs, Sahraeean has uncovered that the Swiss bankers have established an international operation, coded as Swiss-connection, for collecting the drug money from US streets, package them, tag them with diplomatic courrier, transfer from New York and California to Switzerland, launder those bloody money and let the Medelin & Cali Cartels, have them on their legitimate accounts at Swiss bank branches to the Caribbean islands.

Sahraeean published the unveiled involvement of Elisabeth Kopp, Swiss minister for Justice, army, police and custom. Furthermore Sahraeean showed documents for being 80 percent of Swiss Supreme Court on the payroll of Medellín and Cali cocaine cartels. [1]

Upon a well designed plot by politician of Swiss connection money laundering organization, by the end of George W. Bush administration the Swiss justice did organize an investigation arrest at the airport of Frankfurt, transferred him to the Orb forced labor camp of Switzerland, kept Sahraeean for 30 months in detention while awaiting trial. But unfortunate to all of efforts of human rights activist lawyer John Lob, and others, Sahraeean never obtained a trial. Freedom fighting has a very expensive price.

From 1998 to 2005, by establishing the Iran Productionist Party, young elite's academy and poverty movement, inside Iran, Sahraeean follows-up his rational dream for economic freedom of the people as a prequalification of the society for a comprehensive political democracy.

Because of his undesirable philosophies, in 2000 he was banished from lecturing at Iranian universities. In 2002, he was banished from Iranian television. Until May 2005, he was forbidden from traveling overseas or doing any research with public money or banished from doing interviews with foreign television. Some of his books are prohibited. But he is very popular among the youth for his dedications for re-establishment of natural human freedoms.
