"THEY CAN'T ARREST 30 MILLION PEOPLE"

Chat with my teenage protester friend in Tehran:

Julie:
I read that Iran's government is reading emails now.

Adrenaline:
Iran has one of the most powerful security organizations--one of the top 5 in the world !
We all are already on their list. We = Persian protesters. There's nothing we can do about it.

Julie:
I'm glad you haven't been arrested.

Adrenaline:
They can't arrest us. Prisons and jails are limited. They can't arrest 30 million people.

Julie:
30 million people there are protesters!?

Adrenaline:
Before it was. But now, it's like 5 million protesters in Tehran, 1 million in Esfehan, 1 million in Tabriz, and 3 million in other cities. These are active ones! Other ones are scared--maybe they're old, maybe something else. But I'm sure at LEAST 40 million in Iran are supporting us...in their minds, in their speeches, behind their computers. They're helping us in the internet, and so on.

Julie:
What do you think the future for Iran is now?

Adrenaline:
More people are going to be killed and everything's going to be the same. Its not our war. The real war is for power between big bosses--between Khamenei and Rafsanjani. We're just nothing--some kind of toys and dolls for them. You can't even imagine the power of Khamenei !

Julie:
You don't think Rafsanjani could be a better Spiritual Leader?

Adrenaline:
They're all the same. There's not much difference between Khamenei and Rafsanjani.

Julie:
The American press says Rafsanjani supported Mousavi.

Adrenaline:
True. But Mousavi is not the super hero. It's like we choose between bad and worse. There's no good in it!

Julie:
What do you think the American government should do or not do?

Adrenaline:
I just sent a video to you. You will get your answer in that video.

[Adrenaline sends a link to the video,
"Reza Pahlavi Speaks About Events in Iran."]

Julie:
You agree with Reza Pahlavi?
[The son of the deposed Shah of Iran.]

Adrenaline:
In some parts.

Julie:
With which do you agree? With which do you disagree?

Adrenaline:
None of them totally, but he DOES have some good points in his speech.

Julie:
What are the best points?

Adrenaline:
Helping us with communication and media, like internet, mailing big organizations like U.N. and others, joining the Persian protesters in U.S., and things like that.

Julie:
Mamnun. [Thank you.] Do i have your permission to copy this conversation, change your name to Adrenaline, and post it to my blog at http://jigsawnovich.blogspot.com ?

Adrenaline:
Yes you do, even though my English sux :-p:-p

Julie:
Do you want me to correct your English before I post it?

Adrenaline:
I dunno...u can do it IF U Want.

Julie:
Kheyli mamnun! [Many thanks.]

Adrenaline:

UPDATE: Videos Tagged "Iran Election Fraud"


    Two videos showing men filling out and signing multiple Iranian voting ballots have recently surfaced on youtube.com.  The videos may document fraud in regard to the recent presidential election in the Islamic Republic of Iran. They could have been shot covertly on a cell phone, as their subjects seem unaware of the camera.  Yet the videographers managed to get close enough--especially in the video shot over the shoulder of a man filling ballots out--that the Iranian presidential ballots are clearly recognizable.  


    One video is silent, the other has the voice of a male, apparently present, in the background. A native Persian speaker told me, "You really can't hear what they're saying because they changed the sound's format to bad quality to hide who they are!   Its about election and cheating on that with others' social security numbers--and making votes for someone else."  I found these videos via a feed by a Twitter user whose posts from Iran have thus far been proven accurate through corroborating documentation posted later to mainstream media websites.  


    Opposition candidates and their supporters have strongly contested the election results their government has claimed.  Members of the Islamic Republic of Iran violated their own laws by declaring the official winner within only a few hours of the closing of the poles.  IRI law requires more time to accurately hand count the millions of paper ballots before an official announcement of the winner is made.  The consistent 2-to-1 margin of votes for incumbent president Ahmadinejad throughout even regions of Iran that opposition candidates hail from and have headquarters in, is also highly suspicious.  A trusted source in Tehran told me that the supposed counting of presidential election ballots was performed by the Basij militia, who are strong supporters of Ahmadinejad, that they did not allow independent monitors at polling places, and that many people in districts known for supporting opposition candidates were turned away early before they even could vote--having been informed that "they'd run out of ballots."

5:26pmAdrenaline

but with the right president we can reach our goals!

5:29pmAdrenaline
its so complicated. we want democracy, free speech, freedom!,
having respect in international and so many other things that you
already know.

5:30pmJulie
do you want diplomatic relations with the US?

5:30pmAdrenaline
that's what everyone wants--but not being used by other countries.
independence is the most important thing for iran

5:32pmJulie
some of the amadi supporters probably think he is independent.
but he is too mean sometimes. he makes it too easy for zionists to
talk about war with iran. real independence is very hard to find.

5:34pmAdrenaline
i cant speak for all of the people!

5:34pmJulie
US wants to be independent. in reality we are becoming economic slaves.
we owe so much money to China.

5:34pmAdrenaline
i just giving u my opinions

5:35pmJulie
i am also just giving my opinions.
but it is so nice to be able to talk!

5:35pmAdrenaline
true!

5:36pmJulie

Iran reformists held after street clashes

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8099218.stm

Iran's Stolen Election

Basiji controlled the counting of the ballots, and Basiji are Ahmadinejad supporters. They wouldn't let anyone from the opposing candidates monitor the counting of the votes, and Iran does not allow International monitors. There were also voting places that ran out of ballots long before many people waiting to vote had cast their vote. And Ahmadinejad was declared a winner when 20% of the ballots had still been uncounted.

Sepah is in the streets. And it is dangerous to demonstrate and protest.

Today the IRI government is blocking Facebook to internet users in Iran again.
