Iran civil rights movement

Saw this site and put out all this there (don't know why, it just happened):

I do not agree with a lot that has been said. The Iranians, like myself began as conscientious objectors to this illegal regime from 12th Feb 1979.

I had relatives employed in the oil and petrochemicals, and they, like me, objected to the new directives being sent out by the mullahs.

Every place, every important meeting had an IRGC or mullah sniffing around. But the non-violent movement in Iran was born to stop them from the progress of Iran. Iranians defeated their wishes from the 12th February 1979.

But the problem was that the world refused to note the mullahs being defeated. The world focused on the warmongering of Khomeini and let the war with Iraq start. That killed Iranians. It was then very difficult to stop that. But we managed at the end. But a lot of Iranians became Basij and that sustained the mullahs.

Oh they managed to change the flag, the anthem, and many names. They even wanted to bulldoze Persepolis. But the ancient ruins remain, and more have been found as new roads had to be built. The people of Iran do not use Islamic names to name their children anymore. The backlash has been a blessing in disguise. A new Iran has been born in stealth out of this tragedy.

There is a level of doubt that has risen purely from the foreign policy of the mullahs, and their sense of world order. In the time of the Shah, the US did not mind even if Iran had the bomb. So it is the type of people that are running the country that matters. We have a lot of intelligent people in Iran and outside, who can represent Iran, and do not have wacko 7th Century ideas.



The question you need to be asking is, why did a modern state in 1979 get derailed by Carter. What was he worried about when he said Iran is an Island of Stability. Obviously that is exactly what he did not want. Just think what Iran would be now. Quo Bene?



It is very simple.

Poll on Freedom of Speech in Iran

The same WPO poll asked respondents to assess actual freedom of speech in Iran: “In Iran, how free do you think people are to express controversial political views, without fear of being harassed or punished?” Only 27% of Iranians said they were completely free in this regard, but another 44% said they were somewhat free; 23% said they were “not very free” (12%) or “not at all free” (11%).

The interesting part of this whole report is that it makes Ahmadinejad look popular, whilst it knows too well that the people in Iran cannot answer any questions, just in case they get killed by the mullahs.

David Frum is quite right on Iran's mullahs

They are all falling apart and they know that the people are not with them. This is all show.

in reference to:

"The Iranian nuclear program is not going very well. Lacking an actual completed weapon, the Iranian mullahs may seek to gain some of the political benefits of weaponizing by boasting and bragging. Watch out for us! We’re coming! Any minute now! Getting closer!"

A message for Japan Today on Iran

I thought it necessary to enlighten the Japanese of who the real opposition are, and what our purpose is. Clashing is not the non-violent way. One day maybe they will see how the Iranians have resisted in every area of culture and industry against the mullahs and have won.

in reference to:

"The non-violent movement of Iran does not approve of clashes. We have stopped the mullahs to wipe out Iran successfully since 12th Feb 1979. They changed the name of Iran and our flag, but have failed in most other area. Our strategy like any other non-violent movement has been to create a massive unity of peace."

Boston Herald needed updating on Iran

It is so sad that the world press just does not understand how long the non-violent movement has been fighting the mullahs in Iran.

in reference to:

"Iranians have been non-violently protesting, fighting, and winning against the mullah ever since 12th Feb 1979. It is just that the western press refuses to accept how we have stopped the mullahs from completely wiping out our Iranian culture. They have changed the flag, our national anthem. But go inside every Iranians' home and you will see that they put Iranian culture above anything else, especially Islam."

Iran's nukes: Calling the mullah's bluff once again.

It was obvious from the start. Now they admit that they are a bunch of clowns.

in reference to:

"The foreign ministry shunned the US offer as “not logical,” after US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley floated the idea on Tuesday when Iran said it had begun enriching uranium to 20% for a Tehran research reactor.“Shutting down the reactor or stopping the production of medicine is not the solution,” said foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast. “This proposal is not logical.”"

Obama is trying to teach the mullah of Iran

Is Obama naive or what? How can he teach the mullahs anything, especially about isolation.

in reference to:

""What we are going to be working on over the next several weeks is developing a significant regime of sanctions that will indicate to them how isolated they are from the international community as a whole," Obama said."

CNN finally decides to write about Human Rights abuses in Iran

This is the main reason for change in Iran. The world should help the non-violent movement to get rid of these madmen.

What the Washington Post should have written on Iran

I sometimes think the people over at WaPo, play it dumb on purpose.

in reference to:

"If ordinary civilized Iranians were in charge, then no one would have made so much hoo haa over all this. The US would not have been in the area, and Iran would have prospered to become the economic giant of West Asia."

The real war with Iran

From the moment that Obama got elected I said that, the US military wanted to have a proper young man at the helm, that can really tackle the roots of the problems in Iran.

George Bush's cowboy stuff did not really convince anyone, and everyone saw him as a con. This guy Obama is different. Right from the start he has been seen as the black darling of the world. He reminds me of the days when Sidney Poitier came to Hollywood, and how he represented the Ambassador of the Blacks in Hollywood.

So the US military managed with one simple act, be able to present to the world a new clean proper look to the world. Whatever this man said was going to be accepted. They did not have an embarrasing cowboy kid in the White House. This very educated polished black man was going to smooth talk the US up the moral ladder again. The EU was in love with the US. The left in Germany were nuts over him.

But I said then, that after a year, folks like Jannati will not budge and this extended hand of Obama's will have a gun at the end of it, no sooner than the final days of the nuclear talks are over. Once the US is out of Iraq for good, real war will be fought. That is not the drug war the US is fighting in Afghanistan. That is something they need for themselves. Cheap supplies for their own men and women of narcotics is there for all at Helmand, as it has been since the days of the silk route.

So what is the real war. The real war is the might of the young Iranians and other Western Asians. As cultures that created the world's first civilization well before China and other Eastern Asians, we have the energy and the location to become the centre of civilization as we were in the times of Cyrus the Great, We developed the planet Earth along human rights and the world had three three hundred year Empires that moved humanity forward. The Persian Pride that is in all Iranians, is what this war is about.

The people of Western Asia know that their energy is being siphoned off by China to build cheap materials by their political dissidents for the likes of Wal-Mart. The major US companies are not interested in losing market share to huge companies that will grow in Western Asia and put Iran at the centre of the world as it always had. The US companies want to make sure that Iran is destroyed by a force like the mullahs in combat with the US. The last thing they want is a peaceful economically prospering Iran, that will put them out of business.

"Palin suggested that if President Obama "played the war card" by declaring war on Iran in the next two years, the political landscape would change dramatically in his favor. "There wouldn't be as much passion to make sure that he doesn't serve another four years," Palin said."
