URGENT: Use Twitter to help Iranian protestors.
Americans supporting Iranian liberty & those fighting for it ^ | June 19, 2009 | Jeff Head

Posted on 06/19/2009 10:26:09 PM PDT by Jeff Head

I just got this note from another poster and twitter on the Americans supporting Iranian liberty & those fighting for it site on Facebook.

This is pertinent right now to the situation in Iran.

Twitter Folks-set your location to Tehran and your time zone to GMT +3.30. Iranian security forces are hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. The more people at this location, the more of a logjam it creates for forces trying to shut Iranians' access to the internet down.

We have to help protect the Freedom Fighters.
Please pass the word. There are ways we can help. This is one of those ways.

Sign up. Find people/groups to "follow" (ie. go to http://www.twitter.com/Jeff_Head) and click "Follow" under the pic. Start posting comments in your "What are you doing Box". That is a "tweet", you can use commands (like @username message) to post to specific people, or like (#discussionname message) to post to discussions.

It gets quite addicting. Live feeds, unedited news from around the world. Use common sense and be careful and it is surprising how much you learn.

And, the more you tweet under that time zone and location (+3.30 GMT Tehran) the more you will confuse the Iranian government goons and shield the Iranians trying to get the word out.

Perhaps because we often have better access to inside Iran and also have the experience to be able to proffer solid opinion based on the knowledge and expertise we have acquired in some 25-years living there - pre-Khomeini.

This little tidbit heartened me most,

HOT NEWS- A senior Revolutionary Guard (Passdar) spokesman has let it be known that his men would not kill or harm fellow Iranians and apologized for any physical damage done so far.

Now I have to ask, was Khomeini (and his successors) Persian or of Arab descent?

Identity in the region has been confusing since the Silk Route days.

Jeff - I’ve seen several of your tweets on #IranElection. I have never seen any of mine. Wondering if it screens out posts of the person who is checking that hashtag when it displays the results.

BTW, I’m searching this thread for FReepers to follow. If you see an green icon of a cat wearing a purple wig and glasses - that’s me. I’m under a different name on Twitter - initials JJ. Using OPSEC and COMSEC. :)

For your tweets (posts) to show up in the #IranElection discussion - use the #IranElection hashtag somewhere in the message of your post. (It’s like a keyword for a search engine.) Same goes for other topics.

INFOBOMBING THE MULLAHS

FARS you continue to serve as the voice of their struggle.

Something has been bothering me.

Snide remarks have been made. . .by cynics, by mullahs, by ali Hussein's confused and disoriented winged monkeys, by the shrieking fairies and the carping harpies of Orwellian Media:

Oh, but it does not matter. It makes no difference. These who demonstrate are still anti-American and pro-Mullah.

And the like.

I submit there is a night-sweat with the ghosts of Nicolae Ceausescu and Benito Mussolini doing a tango for Khamenei and Rat Boy.

If it makes no difference--if it makes no difference--why then the Tiananmen-like crackdown, the media blackout, the Supreme with the trunks sitting on the tarmac with a fresh Depends--

They smell it.

The smell of revolution is in the air.

Born since 1979, having the final veil lifted on the diabolic nature of the Supreme and his rodent sock puppet, there is no going back.

The Whole World is Watching--thanks to those who risk their lives to report, and those who put their lives on hold to spread the truth--

We are witnessing a lesson we once taught the world.

How the tree of liberty is watered.

Not with bottled water, ali Hussein.

Amen Phil.

I believe this thing is outrunning the "candidates". The many, many young people (and a lot of the older ones too) of Iran want freedom, not another puppet to tyranical Islamic rule.

I believe we could see the birth or republicanism in Iran, but it may very possibly become much more bloody before it is over. The Basij and many in the Revoultionary Guard are not likely to go quietly.

The key is, "What will the regular Army do?" And will they (say, Like Washington) be willing to take part in ending the Islamic tyranny and then hand it over to a new, true Republic?

At this point, the people may noit accept anything less.

One thing is sure...it is Bush's direct engagement, support of liberty, and policies that are driving this. Still bearing fruit. Obama is trying like crazy to spin this to his advantage, but we cannot let him lie and try and steal it. His policies would have made this impossible...just as they would have made Iraq impossible.

I was not seeing my posts the last half hour on Twitter and it told me it was updated and kept the words of the post under the text box. Now it gives a message saying Twitter is overloaded.

For years I was dismissive of all the "The revolution in Iran has begun" threads. I took a lot of heat for my skepticism. I always said though that as soon as they start for real they will have all my support and prayers.

Well, they did start for real and they do have all my support and prayers.
