Thanks for 22 Bahman reminder.
HOWEVER, the opposition which started as Green, is NOT green anymore.
People are NOT happy with IRI, BUT they do NOT want outside interference. US, UK, and Israel keep OUT of Iran.
Please provide us with all independent evidence in your possession which shows that the uprising in Iran has been taken over by US, UK and Israel. If you can not provide the evidence, then I suggest that you kindly shut your mouth and stop insulting the brave people of Iran.
Thanks Ari
by Bahram G on Sun Jan 24, 2010 06:50 AM PSTYeah, it is good to be optimistic. But please tell me specific ways that people like me can significantly and effectively help our hamvatanaan so that it would justify their facing the armed-to-the teeth forces of the Islamic Thuggery (is there such a word? If not, then is one now).
While you are at it, please tell me who the reported one million basiji are? Are they all trucked in Arabs from Lebanon and Hamas? Or are they Iranians? Do these reported million and revolutionary guard also want what we have in the West?
Sure, sure, you say that the great majority do. But the great majority is unarmed and without being on the same page with one another. Where are the factory workers, the refinery workers, and even the military? Are they also telling the students, the intellectuals and the Iran's best and youngest lengesh kon without they themselves pitching in?
Again, life is a killer as is. We hardly need give it a hand. The mullahs have no problem with killing. Like one of their leader proclaimed they are willing to kill 75,000 to protect the regime -- a regime that is looting Iran and destroying the people.
Perhaps we can put our collective brains together and come up with specific actions that would make the regime implode from within and without any more blood from our nation's best -- the Nedas and Sohrabs, and...

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Sun Jan 24, 2010 04:36 AM PSTThe movement may not be so green because it has become secular. The so called "outside" forces are just Iranians that IRR chased out. We may not be in Iran right now but we are still Iranian. You and the IRR do no own Iran.
I feel guilty too not being there to help out in the protests. But we do whatever we can t o suppor them.
PS,
Javad Khan: Watch out: Big bad Israel is gonna come and get you :-)
Love, Freedom and Justice
by Bonny and Clyde on Sun Jan 24, 2010 03:09 AM PSTThank you all for such amazing artwork.
However, if I was a graphic designer I would portray my make huge posters that would
show a new beginning.. something that the people of Iran want. Freedom,
Peace, Tranquility, and Justice. My design would then be posters of
flowers, sonbol o narges, rose o nastaran.... and I would only write
positive words... nothing about death and destruction, because, that we
already have enough of. What we need is Optimism.
I would not be
aggressive on the posters or with my action. I would just be there to
protest using beautiful posters and banners that talk about love, peace
and justice.
There
are so many artists out there and I hope they can design and express
love, justice and freedom through their artwork. I believe no one would
attack them.
I hope some of you would make my dream come true.

by Ari Siletz on Sat Jan 23, 2010 10:13 PM PSTDon't feel guilty. People in Iran aren't gearing up to confront the regime because expats or anyone else told them to. Here's how to find out for sure: ask any one of them to list the top 100 reasons why they're going out on the streets on Bahman 22. Betcha my own civil rights we won't make the list.
Not giving them our support and encouragement to go after what we enjoy here thousands of miles away? Feel bad about that if you must.
Lengesh kon
by Bahram G on Sat Jan 23, 2010 08:21 PM PSTI feel a great sense of guilt, thousands of miles away from Iran telling my long-suffering compatriots to go ahead and subject themselves to the thugs of the Islamic Republic. It is a bad feeling. Our compatriots have paid in every conceivable way for thirty one years under the shameless and heartless mullahs. I don't want a single drop of my noble people's blood be spilled by these religious hoodlums. So, I feel like we are yelling to the way over-matched hamvatanaan, "lengesh kon." But, what's the alternative? We are here vicariously suffering and they are there suffering first hand. Something has got to give and it isn't going to be geda Ali and his gang of murderers letting go peacefully. They like it the way it is and they are not about to surrender power to its rightful owners, the people.
And who knows what is in store for us. Another gang of Islamists? Perhaps a bit more tolerant? Would this nightmare end? Would my people stop suffering and start picking up the pieces of their shattered lives? I hope and pray for their protection and the end of their torment.
A different angle...
by The Phantom Of The Opera on Sun Jan 24, 2010 05:05 AM PSTExcept for one design so far, none of them touches the issue of the presence of women shoulder to shoulder with men. In my opinion, the "union" is the core matter of "the movement", and deserves to be portrayed if not exaggerated. Look at the one which shows linked arms, for instance; where is the female's arm?
The Pahlavis, all mullahs, and all public figures associated with the Green Movement must disclose the source and the amount of their wealth/income.
Very Cool Designs!

Some of these poster are outstanding
by ramintork on Sat Jan 23, 2010 04:16 AM PSTThanks JJ for doing this. A build up to 22nd Bahman is what we need.
Fools?
by Jahanshah Javid on Fri Jan 22, 2010 11:31 PM PSTBahram G, either people have a brain or they don't. Of course they do. But anyone can make mistakes. You know the old saying that goes something like this: people can be fooled, but not all the time. We all wise up eventually.
If we accept the premiss that people are basically fools that can't think straight and need constant guidance and direction, then we are forfeiting all responsibility. We are saying we need the Americans to save us. We need Emam Zaman to save us. We need Velayate Faghih to save us. We need another shah to save us.
JJ, see the following links for more 22 Bahman posters

People have brains?
by Bahram G on Fri Jan 22, 2010 10:22 PM PSTYou could've fooled me, JJ. Sure we have some 1500 grams of something in our cranium. But do we use it? Do we always use it according to the guidelines of good thoughts, good speech, and good deeds?
If so, then why are we in a mess that we are. I mean not only in our Iran under the yoke of the vicious mullahs, but everywhere else in the world where people are making a huge mess of our home planet earth.
Yet, for my nickle, you are becoming a folk hero. I deeply appreciate the way you keep promoting Iran's well-being and the things that make us better humans. Hope you stay financially solvent and as "crazy" as you are. It is good to have you piping up and marching to the beat of your own drum. Somehow your drum beat is very similar to mine. I like it.

Injustice
by Jahanshah Javid on Fri Jan 22, 2010 07:56 PM PSTJavad Agha, you can continue to spin your conspiracy theories. The people have started this movement and they will continue it to the very end. They don't need Washington, London and Tel Aviv to give them guidance. People have brains and they understand what injustice is. And they will fight against it.
Thanks for 22 Bahman reminder, BUT . . .
