Democracy in Iran

The Czech Republic is not democratic?

 

Iran's economy is based on oil which means power. here another reason to save power and fuel as a form of boycotting . of course those of you who are avid consumers of caviar may stick to Russian brands .
Facebook users can become fans of mir-hossein mousavi just to enlarge the number of supporters of the protest. there is a point in this, culture has changed and a vast success on the net is one of the ways to give the issue popularity and media coverage.

Alikhani's Speech in Majlis in Support of Mousavi (English Subs)


the next days are crucial to the cause. in Iran the ayatollahs invoke death penalty for the protesters. check for real world actions in your zone. also please add links to relevant sites .

want to help ? help disrupting the functionality of iranian pro-government and police sites (list below) . a DDoS is possible if a huge mass of volunteers donates bandwidth to obscure them. one means is at http://sites.google.com/site/nedasites/Home , a small java app for flooding. in a nutshell, this and some other attack scripts can be ran from your home PCs and instructed by you about what site to target with several types of attacks, ranging from brutally attempting to overload the servers , like Nedasites 2.0.1 , to inducing them into opening lots of useless connections like slowloris, a .pl script that syn floods apache servers.

also a "demo" flood can be scheduled even among hipforums users to give the world a signal. it is no bullshit. it has been done before and this is right the time to do it again. if we can induce a good part of the hip forums members and people from outside in joining a coordinated mass smurf attack against a website with symbolic importance this may be useful to keep the attention of the public opinion focused on Iran.
Skip are you here?

another way to contribute is configuring a TOR bridge to promote hopefully anonymous communication from and to Iran. don't know if Freenet gets use in this sense.

or else we all can stick back to beads and hookas and guitars.

 

Nokia recently provided the Iranian regime with a "monitoring center" that enables security forces to tap cell phones, scramble text-messages, and interrupt calls. Nokia's new surveillance system has enhanced the regime's ability to crack down on dissent during recent protests. The monitoring technology is being deployed on a massive scale, with hundreds arrested thanks to Nokia's technology.

Nokia has a responsibility to ensure its technology is used in an ethical manner. Take a minute to pressure Nokia to stop immediately its contract with the Iranian regime, disable its monitoring center, and explain how Iranians can circumvent the monitoring system. Tell the company you will boycott its products and urge your mobile carriers to stop selling Nokia until it stops aiding the crackdown.

You can edit the letter below, which will then be sent to Nokia. (Questions? Email campaign -at- aicongress.org.)

5075 people have sent letters as part of this campaign. Click here to see who has sent a letter.

It's funny how the west always likes to throw accusations of vote rigging around when the result doesn't come out the way the west wants it to.

 

The accusations are coming from Iranian voters. You haven't heard about the protests?

 

Don't blame Nokia.
Western governments, including the UK, will not allow you to build networks that don't have that type of functionality.

 

Whatever you do, don't blame Iran!

 

And their evidence is what? Twitter?

 

Obviously you missed the hundreds of thousands of people in the streets

 

I guess there's supposed to be something funny in that, but I don't see it.

These people are being beaten and shot in the streets. Their telephone calls and internet communications are being monitored. Opposition leaders are being arrested. The entire staff of Mousavi's newspaper was arrested, and when a group of professors met with him, they were all later arrested. And so on.

Yet you sneer at them for spreading the word by twitter? I don't get it. What's clever about that?

 

It's not supposed to be a sneer, it's a serious question. I'll ask it again. Where is the evidence the election was rigged?

Thousands of people not liking the result and questioning it over the internet does not prove anything, they could still be in the minority.

I want proof before I'll beleive it. The west is very adept at spreading lies and propaganada about arab countries that don't kowtow to it's hypocritical demands, so why should I trust anything I hear.

Sure there a lots of people in Iran that wanted Ahmedinejad out, and they may very well turn to violent protest if there any suggestion that their vote was discounted. BUt there may also be more sitting at home quietely supporting him.

I don't know, I just want proof!

 

1st, ahmadinejad's tyranny is clearly awful and must be opposed with any means. they are bloody insane assholes who hang protesters and just about everyone they don't like. it does not matter if elections were technically rigged or not. the were obviously and intrinsically rigged before they started in a country like iran, where there is no such thing as freedom of speech and you can start fearing for your life if you are not pro-ahmadinejad or if you just plain want to live your life the way you like the best. political propaganda in iran (like in italy) is not even remotely fair between the government supporting forces and their opponents.

but, 2nd, even if we have no direct proof, and we have no direct proof because of the behavior of the iranian fascist regime that does not allow transparency and free communications, how do you explain a government who allegedly wins the elections with a very large majority but when asked to please recount votes to fend off suspicions answers with that mockery of random exam and prefers to kill people in the streets with the most brutal repression we saw in decades ? and you call for more "proof" ?

what's your hippie name, Mahmoud ?

at this point the elections having been rigged or not are not even remotely an issue any longer. it is self evident that teheran's regime is monstruous and must burn. the only chance is the national strike in Iran and a earthquake-like uprising to topple the bearded assassins from their throne. if you want to continue being the hateful attorney of the murderers, go on and shame yourself, man.

 

which democracry are we talking about again?

 

Are you saying:

1. You looked but couldn't find any;
2. You couldn't be bothered to look; or
3. Insert some other excuse here.

Iran operates a propaganda channel here in the UK, legally, they can even hire stooges like MP George Galloway. In Iran, the BBC is banned. Its clear where the free press is, and its not in Iran.

Your idea what of quality press coverage seems to be distorted by a pretty passionate anti western bias.

 

I'm saying I have not seen any evidence tha the election was rigged. Opinion polls suggested that Ahmedinijad was going to win, and he did. The world might not like it, but that is how it is.

 

Source?

 

Funnily enough, the BBC.

 

And some"half" suggested Mousavi was going to win, is this your proof?
