Roxana Saberi Photo Reporting for US National Public Radio, the BBC and Fox News

Roxana Saberi is a Iranian born US journalist who spent last six years back in Iran where she worked as freelance journalist reporting for Fox News, the BBC and NPR (National Public Radio). 32 year old Roxana Saberi is a dual citizen with both Iranian and US passports. She was arrested on January 31 and was held in Evin Prison in Tehran, where many political prisoners are held. Charges? Roxana Saberi was accused of spying on Iran and passing documents and information to a hostile state (USA). This is a collection of rare photos of Roxana Saberi along with her story:

Roxana Saberi was born in Iran but grew up in Fargo, North Dakota. She won Miss North Dakota pageant and started to work on her career as a journalist. Six years ago she moved back to Iran and worked from there. Her press credentials were revoked and she was facing up to a life in prison.

When Roxana Saberi to call her father from prison, she told him she was arrested because she was buying an alcohol (bottle of wine) from someone on the street who then reported it to Iranian authorities. Since alcohol is illegal in Iran, Roxana Saberi was arrested and imprisoned.

On Monday, May 11, 2009 it was announced by Abdolsamad Khorramshahi – a lawyer representing Roxana Saberi that she was released from prison. She was originally sentenced to 8 years, but the appeal court of Iran reduced her sentence to 2 years suspended. In mid April Roxana Saberi launched a hunger strike but was forced to end it after hospitalization.

The case of Roxana Saberi even got before US president Barack Obama who appealed to Iranian authorities asking for her immediate release, calling her imprisonment unfounded, assuring Iran that there is no way she could have been involved in any form of espionage. She is free to leave Iran any time she wants now and according to her father Reza Saberi, they will be heading back to Fargo within next few days.

Next few days? If I were unfairly imprisoned, I’d shoot off with first available plane. What the hell do they feel like sticking around for few more day for? Another thing I could never understand – why is Roxana Saberi wearing that head scarf in all photos? She grew up in the USA, it’s a free country. She doesn’t have to follow that humiliating culture? Yet many women still choose to jump on the brainwash wagon and fall with it. I don’t get it. You live in a free country, embrace the freedom.

This is What Jesse Jackson Said in his N-word Barack Obama Rant

This is What Jesse Jackson Said in his N-word Barack Obama Rant

This is What Jesse Jackson Said in his N-word Barack Obama Rant

“Barack…he’s talking down to black people…telling niggers how to behave.”

The above, my friends are the words of Jesse Jackson. Yes, that’s Rev. Jesse Jackson who protests against other using the N-word. It’s a bit hypocritical of his, but it’s possible that it was just a slip off and maybe it was overinflated beyond reality. Fox news doesn’t want to release the tape, but this is what Jesse Jackson said when he addressed Barack Obama in his N-word using rant during an interview break with Fox News.

The whole world seems upside down now. Some black communities are outraged, some don’t understand what the big deal is. Fact of a matter is, Jesse Jackson did say once that he was going to fight to prohibit the N-word. I guess his fight hit the wall right about now.

I can imagine what’s gonna happen next. Someone will lay their hands on the audio of Jesse Jackson dropping N-word and some skilled music composer is gonna put together a hip hop tune that will have its main motif based around:

♫ Barack…he’s talking down to black people…telling niggers how to behave. Comon everybody, sing with me… Barack…he’s talking down to black people…telling niggers how to behave. One more time everybody sing alog with Jesse Jackson… Barack…he’s talking down to black people…telling niggers how to behave. ♫

 

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Sobs About Jesse Jackson’s N-word

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

UPDATE:
I’ve removed the video because RedLasso is continuously having issues and the video was causing the page load with errors.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck needs to shut the fuck up already and get a grip on reality. She’s got to be the most spoiled TV presenter in the world. If anything gets just a little bit emotional, she starts sobbing and weeping like a $2 a blowjob slut after she was called a slut.

It all started with Reverend Jesse Jackson dropping an N-word as he was criticizing Barack Obama during a break in a TV interview. Whoopi Goldberg brought up the issue on The View saying that the tape with Jesse Jackson saying N-word was leaked form Fox News and asked if anyone was surprised after learning that. Elisabeth Hasselbeck got all emotional and shit and ended up sobbing again.

Other members of The View didn’t have major issues with Rev. Jesse Jackson’s N-word, being black guy and all, but Elisabeth Hasselbeck kept going off and off that nobody should use the N-word and what about the children and stuff like that. But you know what the thing is – she’s as fake as they get. She probably tells racial jokes when she’s with her friends and doesn’t care about some Jesse Jackson’s dropping N-words but at last minute she thought it would make her look like a concerned citizen who is so strictly against racism and it would boost her rating, so she started ranting about shit nobody cared for. What a fake bitch. You could tell she didn’t mean any of that and could care less about N-word from Jesse Jackson’s mouth. God Elisabeth Hasselbeck is one annoying bitch!
