In this podcast Keyvan Yahyaʾi and I discuss the career of Ḥasan M. Balyūzī, Bahāʾī native informer and lackey of the British establishment; Hand of the Cause appointed by Shoghi Effendi; and the first head and spokesman of the BBC Persian section; and how the career and position of Ḥasan M. Balyūzī proves uncritically the appendage and vassalage nature of the Haifan Bahāʾī organization to the Anglo-American establishment.

Translation of Keyvan Yahyaʾis opening exordium in Arabic (from the first line of the Obligatory Bayānī prayer for Fridays https://youtu.be/Am5KFBziTis).

In the Name of God the Most Impregnable, the Most Holy!

Glorified art Thou, O God my Lord, I beseech Thee by Thy Divinity which is conqueringly victorious over All-Things that Thou make triumphant the essence of the possessor every Letter Alif who shall believe in the One Thou shalt Manifest on the Day of Resurrection, the Essence of the Proof of Thy Mighteous Supremity! Verily Thou art Powerful over All-Things! (my trans.)

Desparate Baha'is cunningly teach Baha'i faith to innocent people through PSA Programs / seminars.

Non-Baha'i participants of PSA program in Africa

About PSA Program, One Baha'i claims :

The Preparation for Social Action (PSA) program seeks to empower youth by making math, science, language, community development, and technology applicable to their everyday lives. Its curriculum is both theoretical and action-oriented, integrating study with community-building activities. To date, PSA has reached over 500 community members.

PSA was originally developed by The Foundation for the Application and Teaching of the Sciences (FUNDAEC) in the 1970s. Its success in rural communities throughout Colombia sparked the interest of the international community and its curriculum has since been re-written to suit a global audience. In its early years, the Kimanya-Ngeyo Foundation received direct support from FUNDAEC in the form of startup costs, learning materials, and tutor training.

I've started the first book called "properties". It's a mix of simple yet advanced scientific concepts. It's really engaging and I can totally see the parallels between science and the Baha'i teachings.

I encourage all of you to try find a group near you. There are so many units. It's like the Ruhi institute but more tailored towards science, language, technology, management etc.

In India, Hindus are deceptively being converted to Baha'i Faith through PSA Seminars.

In the Ridvan 2010 message, the Universal House of Justice mentioned that, “all social action seeks to apply the teachings and principles of the faith to improve some aspects of social or economic life of a population however modestly”. 

In another message the Universal House of Justice reiterated, “The work advancing in every corner of the globe today represents the latest stage of the ongoing Baha’i endeavour to create the nucleus of the glorious civilization enshrined in His teachings, the building of which is an enterprise of infinite complexity and scale, one that will demand centuries of exertion by humanity to bring to fruition. There are no shortcuts, no formulas. Only as effort is made to draw on insights from His Revelation, to tap into the accumulating knowledge of the human race, to apply His teachings intelligently to the life of humanity, and to consult on the questions that arise will the necessary learning occur and capacity be developed”. 

PSA Seminar in Vietnam

Hundreds of thousands of verses written by Baha'u'llah were thrown into the River!

Referring to the prolific nature of Baha’u’llah's revelation of verses, Shoghi Effendi writes "that during the first two years after His return from His retirement, according to the testimony of Nabil, who was at that time living in Baghdad, the unrecorded verses that streamed from His lips averaged, in a single day and night, the equivalent of the Quran! As to those verses which He either dictated or wrote Himself, their number was no less remarkable than either the wealth of material they contained, or the diversity of subjects to which they referred. A vast, and indeed the greater, proportion of these writings were, alas, lost irretrievably to posterity. No less an authority than Mirza Aqa Jan, Baha’u’llah's amanuensis, affirms, as reported by Nabil, that by the express order of Baha’u’llah, hundreds of thousands of verses, mostly written by His own hand, were obliterated and cast into the river. Finding me reluctant to execute His orders, Mirza Aqa Jan has related to Nabil, Baha’u’llah would reassure me saying: "None is to be found at this time worthy to hear these melodies" '...Not once, or twice, but innumerable times, was I commanded to repeat this act.'

(God Passes By : 137-38)

Baha'u'llah plainly contradicts himself on his supposed "innate knowledge"

In the Lawḥ-i ḥikma he writes:

We perused not the books which men possess and We acquired not the learning current amongst them, and yet whenever We desire to quote the sayings of the learned and of the wise, presently there will appear before the face of thy Lord in the form of a tablet all that which hath appeared in the world and is revealed in the Holy Books and Scriptures. Thus do We set down in writing that which the eye perceiveth.

Yet, in the Kitāb-i Īqān (para. 203), he writes:

[A] certain man, reputed for his learning and attainments, and accounting himself as one of the pre-eminent leaders of his people, hath in his book denounced and vilified all the exponents of true learning [...] We felt it necessary to refer to his books, in order that We might answer Our questioners with knowledge and understanding. His works, in the Arabic tongue, were, however, not available, until one day a certain man informed Us that one of his compositions, entitled Irshadu’l-‘Avám, could be found in this city [...] We sent for the book, and kept it with Us a few days. It was probably referred to twice.

An interesting 'comment' from an online debate about Baha'i persecution in Iran.

Baha'i Administration is banned in Iran.

Baha'is formed illegal administration (YARAN), underground university (BIHE) in Iran.

Most Iranian Baha'is are affluent people. Check these links

Baha'is are allowed to obtain higher education if they don't write their religion as Baha'i.

Baha'i business are shut down because they keep their shops closed on Baha'i holidays, which is not allowed in Iran - they violate the laws of Land by following Baha'i laws.

Some Baha'i graves were destroyed, I don't know exact reason why they were destroyed... but there are many burial grounds for Baha'is where Baha'is are free to bury their dead. There is one in Tehran about which Baha'is lied. and here are videos of Baha'i burial / funeral in Iran.

I think they are free to bury their dead in government recognized cemeteries. You as a Baha'i who condemns the destruction of Baha'i graves should also remember the treatment that Baha'is gave to Diya'u'llah's grave in Palestine!

Yes, some of them are treated second-class citizens if they disclose their faith. If they keep their faith to themselves they are treated as any other Iranian. You as a Baha'i should not forget the treatment you guys give to Covenant-Breakers!
