Iranian Alert -- January 13, 2004 -- IRAN LIVE THREAD --Americans for Regime Change in Iran
The Iranian Student Movement Up To The Minute Reports ^ | 1.13.2004 | DoctorZin

Posted on 01/13/2004 12:04:22 AM PST by DoctorZIn

The US media almost entirely ignores news regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran. As Tony Snow of the Fox News Network has put it, “this is probably the most under-reported news story of the year.” But most American’s are unaware that the Islamic Republic of Iran is NOT supported by the masses of Iranians today. Modern Iranians are among the most pro-American in the Middle East.

There is a popular revolt against the Iranian regime brewing in Iran today. Starting June 10th of this year, Iranians have begun taking to the streets to express their desire for a regime change. Most want to replace the regime with a secular democracy. Many even want the US to over throw their government.

The regime is working hard to keep the news about the protest movement in Iran from being reported. Unfortunately, the regime has successfully prohibited western news reporters from covering the demonstrations. The voices of discontent within Iran are sometime murdered, more often imprisoned. Still the people continue to take to the streets to demonstrate against the regime.

In support of this revolt, Iranians in America have been broadcasting news stories by satellite into Iran. This 21st century news link has greatly encouraged these protests. The regime has been attempting to jam the signals, and locate the satellite dishes. Still the people violate the law and listen to these broadcasts. Iranians also use the Internet and the regime attempts to block their access to news against the regime. In spite of this, many Iranians inside of Iran read these posts daily to keep informed of the events in their own country.

This daily thread contains nearly all of the English news reports on Iran. It is thorough. If you follow this thread you will witness, I believe, the transformation of a nation. This daily thread provides a central place where those interested in the events in Iran can find the best news and commentary. The news stories and commentary will from time to time include material from the regime itself. But if you read the post you will discover for yourself, the real story of what is occurring in Iran and its effects on the war on terror.

I am not of Iranian heritage. I am an American committed to supporting the efforts of those in Iran seeking to replace their government with a secular democracy. I am in contact with leaders of the Iranian community here in the United States and in Iran itself.

If you read the daily posts you will gain a better understanding of the US war on terrorism, the Middle East and why we need to support a change of regime in Iran. Feel free to ask your questions and post news stories you discover in the weeks to come.

If all goes well Iran will be free soon and I am convinced become a major ally in the war on terrorism. The regime will fall. Iran will be free. It is just a matter of time.

Economist does a song and dance. They were the first to put Batebi on their cover with the title "Iran's New Revolution", then they turned staunchly pro-Reformist movement because of a journalist named Guy Dinmore.

Guy Dinmore was actually very critical, until one day he become very critical of Iran's opposition instead of the regime.

He came to the US to meet with the NIAC (a civic group Iranian-American group that receives tax-exemption, which is vastly critical of opposition movements, President Bush, and Iranians seeking Secular government, most people believe they're funded by the Islamic Republic).

He lost vast credibility when he did that.

Thank you, freedom. It is good to know what made Dinmore change. I will remain disappointed, however.

It seems like such a simple thing to ask: just the facts.

"The same man could enter one parliament as a good Muslim but be excluded from the next as a bad one. The present Speaker of the Majlis, a mullah named Mahdi Karrubi, was prevented from standing for election in 1994 because the "guardian angels" regarded him as a bad Muslim. By 1998, however, he had become a good Muslim once again and allowed to stand, was elected, and became Speaker. Next month he may, once again, become a bad Muslim and be kept out of the Majlis even if voters choose him."

LoL. Taheri's editorials are getting fuunier all the time. ..............

"Khatami, for example, has become a master in the art of ambiguity and double-talk. When addressing the Europeans he talks of reason and science and cites Aristotle and Hegel. But when talking in Iran he claims that women should cover their head because their hair emanates a dangerous ray that drives men wild."

Ya can't make this stuff up......LoL

"And the daily newspaper Jumhuri Islami (Islamic Republic), owned by the "Supreme Guide" Ali Khamenei, has published an editorial implicitly calling for Mubarak's assassination. It says: "The great Egyptian people are fully capable of seizing the Islamic leadership over the Arab world. Naturally, Mubarak's revolting presence is an obstacle to that goal. But the followers of the martyr Khaled al-Islambouli know well how to remove this ugly cancer."

LoL. They're crazy!

Sure, we'll take the sign down, and replace it with this :

"Intifada Street." "The new name shows our commitment to the destruction of the Zionist state and the rejection of all peace deals with [Israel]," said a Foreign Ministry spokesman."

LOL. If they only knew what source of laughter they've become........

Hey, think they had a sale on those suits??
LOL.
They're all dressed alike. LOL
Not much originality in that group!
A reflection of their thought processes, perhaps?
