Dayyān, Concealed Bābī Histories and the Haifan Bahāʾī menace: Podcast II with Stephan Beyer


In this podcast Stephan Beyer and Wahid Azal casually converse and explore, first, broaching the episode of Dayyān and how he may have lost his mind and even possibly been interfered with by a third party to make his denunciation of the Bāb and claim the supreme station; the poisoning incident in Edirne; the lifestyle of the Nūrī household before their exile from Iran; the unities (chapters) of the Arabic Bayān composed by Subḥ-i-Azal following unity (chapter) 11 during the Baghdad and Cyprus periods; Bayanic.com; the hack Bei Dwei/Zlaod Dawud (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.culture.iranian/AiydAMBTCNY); the Chicago Bahāʾī Temple; the attitude of the American and Israeli religious Jewish communities towards the Bahāʾīs; Bahāʾī designs on the state of Israel itself; William Sears’ “Thief in the Night”; ʿAbdu’l-Bahā’s trip to America and the geopolitics behind his trip; Bahāʾullāh letters to the kings and potentates of the 19th century; the uber-extravagant and opulent hollywoodesque zeitgeist of Haifan Bahaism as the consummate manifestation of the Neoliberal Capitalism; the Islamic Republic of Iran and its dubious exile opposition; the NeoCons, the Baha’is and the New World Order; Islamophobia and the Iranian Baha’is as colonized subjects; how the Bāb clued into the menace of Western imperialism long before the mullāhs did; Peter Smith as the biased reviewer of Wahid Azal’s “The Organizational Hierarchy of the Bābīs” article; debunking the Baha’i lie regarding Bayanic.com; Baha’is as violators of human rights; the gentlemen and scholars Todd Lawson and Stephan Lambden; Moojan Momen as the “Baghdad Bob” of Baha’i scholarship; Juan R.I. Cole’s shillery for Empire (https://www.counterpunch.org/2011/08/30/meet-professor-juan-cole-consultant-to-the-cia/); the collapse of Libya and Benghazi; Wetiko (see https://www.kosmosjournal.org/article/seeing-wetiko-on-capitalism-mind-viruses-and-antidotes-for-a-world-in-transition/); the Arab Spring; Obama and America versus China and the resource rape of Africa; the Iranian Constitutional Revolution and Siyyid Miqdad-Nabavi Razavi’s tārīkh-i-maktūm (Concealed History); the ‘Wretched of the Earth’ (mustaḍafīn fī’l-arḍ) and the religion of the Bayān as a Twelver Shiʿite post-Islamic eco-socialist spiritual Fanonism.
