The U.S.-Saudi Dilemma: Iran's Reshaping of Persian Gulf Politics | STRATFOR


A maximum card from Iran, with The CASPIAN RED DEER (Cervus elaphus maral).

"The Caspian Red Deer, (Cervus elaphus maral) (ArmenianՄարալ), (AzerbaijaniMaral) is the easternmost subspecies of Red deer that is native to areas between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea such as CrimeaAsia Minor, the Caucasus Mountains region bordering Europe and Asia, and along the Caspian Sea region in Iran
This animal is sometimes referred to as Maral or Noble deer."

"Iran (Listeni/ɪˈrɑːn/ or /ˈræn/;[8] Persianایران[ʔiˈɾɒn] ( listen)), officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a country in Central Asia and Western Asia.[9][10] 
The name "Iran" which means The Land of Aryans[11] has been in use natively since the Sassanian era and came into use internationally in 1935, before which the country was known to the Western world as Persia (play /ˈpɜrʒə/ or /ˈpɜrʃə/).[8][12] 
Both "Persia" and "Iran" are used interchangeably in cultural contexts; however, "Iran" is the name used officially in political contexts.[13][14"

How RED is a Red Deer? I guess the visibility of the pigment depends on the amount of light.

BBC News - Phone-hacking row as it happened: 18 July. "News of the World" = "Hacks of the Victims"? Who is PM [Potentate MURDOCH]? Anagram: RUPERT MURDOCH = PM; TRU, CRUDE HOR

The #1 news in Great Britain, coming soon to an American outlet near YOU:
BBC News - Phone-hacking row as it happened: 18 July

"News of the World" = "Hacks of the Victims"?

Who is PM [Potentate MURDOCH]?
Anagram: RUPERT MURDOCH = PM; TRU, CRUDE HOR

What could HOR mean?...
Probably it comes from HORUS...:)
"Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in the Ancient Egyptian religion, who was worshipped from at least the late Predynastic period through to Greco-Roman times. 
Different forms of Horus are recorded in history and these are treated as distinct gods by Egyptologists".


"Horus is recorded in Egyptian hieroglyphs as ḥr.w and is reconstructed to have been pronounced *Ḥāru, meaning "Falcon". 
As a description it has also typically been thought of as having the meaning "the distant one" or "one who is above, over".
[MY NOTE: did Horus also have a media empire, or just an empire?]


In ancient Egypt, the GARBAGE DISPOSAL / SINK EXHAUSTOR was not invented yet.
No, the CATfish did not get his TONGUE.
Horus, son-of-a-GOLDMEMBER.
"Origin mythology
Horus was born to the goddess Isis after she retrieved all the dismembered body parts of her murdered husband Osiris, except his penis which was thrown into the Nile and eaten by a catfish,[5][6] and used her magic powers to resurrect Osiris and fashion a gold phallus[7] to conceive her son. 
Once Isis knew she was pregnant with Horus, she fled to the Nile Delta marshlands to hide from her brother Set who jealously killed Osiris and who she knew would want to kill their son.[8] 
There Isis bore a divine son, Horus."
Horus

Horus was often the ancient Egyptians' national patron god. He was usually depicted as a falcon-headed man wearing the pschent, or a red and white crown, as a symbol of kingship over the entire kingdom of Egypt.
God of the king, the sky and vengeance
Major cult centerNekhenBehdet Edfu
SymbolThe wedjat eye
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horus

You can't easily find the HORus symbol in these hieroglyphic stamps, A HORUS LINE of artifacts.
But investigate thoroughly, like the non-bribed UK police officers do - maybe Horus is "gone hacking."



With a little indulgence, you can find some RED in the above stamps.

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
