EYEWITNESS

The elegant revolution

I hope that their blood will make every one of us more committed to freedom, democracy and human rights

What I saw today was the most elegant scene I had ever witnessed in my life. The huge number of people were marching hand in hand in full peace. Silence. Silence was everywhere. There was no slogan. No violence. Hands were up in victory sign with green ribbons. People carried placards which read: Silence. Old and young, man and woman of all social groups were marching cheerfully. This was a magnificent show of solidarity. Enghelab Street which is the widest avenue in Tehran was full of people. I was told that the march has begun in Ferdowsi Sq. and the end of the march was now in Imam Hossein Sq. to the further east of Tehran while on the other end people had already gathered in Azadi Sq. The length of this street is about 6 kilometers. The estimate is about 2 million people>>>

PLOT

Stepping Stone to Over-Throw

This current upheaval is in essence more about who - the capitalist class or the workers

21-Jun-2009 (21 comments)
The warnings of Iran’s Supreme leader showed that the plans of the current social crisis, executed now by Mir Hossein Mousavi and other players such as U.S.-inspired loosely-knit networks of “Iran experts” in lock-step with the lieutenants of U.S. and British corporate media, and battalions of foot soldiers - monarchists, Mojahedin-Khalq terrorists and disenchanted pro-western Iranians - were conceived long before the recent presidential election. The election of June 12, 2009 provided these well-financed and well-equipped strata with unprecedented opportunities to carry out the first stages of their “velvet revolution”. The crisis has de-stabilized the Islamic Republic of Iran by splitting the nation along class lines >>>

TEAM MELLI

The Greenest of the Green Fields

Football became an instrument of promoting the desire to be free

21-Jun-2009 (one comment)
My brain ordered my heart to keep politics and sports separate from each other as I was witnessing events so amazing from people so courageous. Football, is a passion, is love, is a way of life and has been my source of refuge in good days and bad nights. I will not mix the two I assured myself. In front of the world view, hidden behind the clicks of our mouse keys and behind the text messages of Tweeter, pages of FaceBook and videos of YouTube and iReporter, the “story” of a nation is being told. Every day as I let my pen run loose on paper and tell the stories of world cup qualifying matches, I wonder how the team melli players feel in their training camps. Wonder no more… >>>

THE END

جشن های سالگرد انقلاب ایندولند

همه این بی نظمی ها شلوغی هایی پدید آورد که تا امروزه که من این سطور را می نویسم در کشور ایندولند ادامه داشته و پایانی بر آن متصور نیست

21-Jun-2009
همه حضار به مواضع اسب فرزند ملت که درارتفاع 20 متری بالاتر از سطح زمین نصب شده بود با چشمانی از حدقه در آمده نگاه میکردند. انگار همگی منتظر حادثه ای در سی امین سالگرد انقلاب بودند. سرانجام اسب فرزند ملت مثل کوه آتشفشانی به خروش آمد. از سوراخ زیر دم ، گلاب به رویتان، کثافتهای دقیقاً کوانتیزه شده و قالبی به بیرون می ریخت و در همان زمان، از همان آلتی که در زیر شکم قرار داشت، شاشیدن اسب فرزند ملت شروع گردید. باران کثافت و ادار اسب از ارتفاع بالا بر سر شرکت کنندگان میریخت و بوی گند آن همه فضای پایتخت و کشور را فرا گرفت. شبکه های خبری بین المللی ، به پخش مستقیم این رویداد پرداختند. مجسمه فرزند ملت وضعیت مضحکی یافته بود. همه اهالی پایتخت بعد از مدتها فرصتی برای خندیدن پیدا کرده بودند. فرزند ملت در جای خود میخکوب و همه یونیفرم شیک و براقش پر از کثافت اسب شده بود>>>
