Iranian Alert -- February 20, 2004 -- IRAN LIVE THREAD --Americans for Regime Change in Iran

The Iranian Student Movement Up To The Minute Reports ^ | 2.20.2004 | 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.

Very good. It's important that you see this with your own eyes. The reports from the media will be interesting to monitor, too.

Thanks for checking in on FR.

[Khashayar]

Well, There are jams going on but I did not watch those stations myself.
I was not able to get Radio Farda or Persian Service of VOA yesterday night.

[nuconvert]

When will there be numbers on how many people voted? By tonite your time?

[F14 Pilot]

Welcome Back again and I wish you good luck with your reports. Be Safe Please!

[Khashayar]

I heard that they are going to close the poll stations sooner because not too many voted and they are worried about the number of voters.
I also heard about a very recent poll done by the ministery of Interior this morning which was also published on different News Webpages. Around 76% will not vote this time and about 21% will vote definitely.
The remaining 3% have not decided till this morning to vote or not.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

How ironic. Here in America, they keep the polls open LONGER, in some cases, trying to get more votes. In Iran, they shut the polls early! If that doesn't illustrate how different our nations are and how fake IRI democracy is, I don't know what else does.

[nuconvert]

I don't think Khashayar is around anymore.

Maybe we'll get an update on things later.

[Khashayar]

I ask Americans not to believe those crowds they may see on their TVs.
They conducted their followers to some specific poll stations to set up shows and then ask foreign media reporters to film or cover these fake crowds.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

To quote the good Doctor Z. .......

 

Iran's SHAM Election Day Reports!

With an offer from Freeper Khashayar to answer our questions about the fraud being carried out in Iran today.

[Eala]

Polls close at 8 PM Iran time. In another hour and 15 minutes, according to my pocket PC.

[nuconvert]

yup.

[Khashayar]

Nice to see you again!

-- There are 46 milion people who could vote today. Also, I have read about printing 4 milion fake ID cards by IRGC in Pakistan. Those fake ID cards can help the IRI to show a big increase in its stats.

[Eala]

And you, Khashayar! I was just on the phone with LibreOuMort (she's on her way to the state capitol to try to kill a bad piece of legislation), and she sends you her best. Tomorrow night we will be at a party of mostly Iranians; it will be interesting to hear their take on the elections.

[Khashayar]

The Friday prayer speaker today said that those who ask for boycotting the current elections are Traitors to Islam and should stand trial.

((Seems that they are going to try all Iranians)).

This just in from a student inside of Iran...

"Doc,
I have been to 7 poll stations till noon and I can tell you that they were all empty.

No one was there to vote.

I will try to find more later. I visited them in 3 different times.

Thanks"

[Pan_Yans Wife]

So, they will be closed early?

[DoctorZIn]

Khashayar,

We are hearing that the polls in Iran are empty, what ate you hearing? What is the mood of the people there? Are people afraid, defiant, or what?

[Khashayar]

I visited different polls as well and they were empty.
I asked my neighbors, friends and people on street if they went to vote and all of them answered NO.
Moreover, I can tell you people are not afraid this time and they are united.
Ordinary people did what they have supposed to do on their fridays and as you know, Fridays are our weekend.
No one around me went to vote in this sham election.
