EGYPT-IRAN
12-Feb-2011 (21 comments)
The 1979 Iranian Revolution was supposed to be such revolution, which was hijacked by the most organized, radical and ruthless Islamist who at the time appeared to be benign and on the side of the people. Their success in coming to power brought awe and admiration to all oppressed people in the world and rang a bell of hope that brought deafness the ears of those who stood too close in guard. It soon became apparent that the Iranian people were taken for a ride into a prison of their own making>>>

As the Islamic regime of Iran celebrates its 32nd anniversary, the people of Iran face monumental economic challenges similar to those faced by other countries in the region like Tunisia and Egypt. The economy is feeling the sting of sanctions with shortages, unemployment, layoffs and inflation fears creating a widening gap between the regime and the people. Indeed, the regime is facing its toughest challenge – its 32-year monopoly may be about to be busted wide open>>>

بسیاری از همین آدمها که امروز بدون رفتن به رستورانهای گرانبها و خوردن شرابهای کهنه اشرافی که بشود با آنها پز داد امورشان نمیگذرد همانهائی هستند که تا دیروز قصه دستگیره های طلای سیفون توالت کاخ شاه را اینجا و آنجا تعریف میکردند تا نشان بدهند که چه افراد تجمل پرستی کشور را اداره میکنند. جالبتر اینکه در میان این آدمها گروههائی هم هستند که بشدت خود را پایبند آداب و رسوم سفره رقیه و زینب میدانند و تمدن غرب را فاسد بشمار میآورند >>>
KIOSK

In a churning sea of come and go bands, Kiosk has thankfully remained consistent, in that each successive album pushes the boundaries of what is considered normal, but more importantly Kiosk pushes me to to try and make some sort of sense of it and I grow from it. "Triple Distilled" Obviously referring to late night drinking sessions of the yore of pre-revolution Iran, specifically those in the southern part of Tehran's red light >>>
MUBARAK

The U.S. media and protesters in the Tahrir Square wanted to know if Mubarak resigned. The answer is “no.” Mubarak did not say “I hereby resign as President of Egypt.” Instead he said that he had passed on/delegated the powers/authority of the presidency onto the vice president. Blitzer of CNN wanted to know if Mubarak was de jure this or Mr. Suleiman was de facto that. Here is what has happened so far: Mubarak continues to be the head of state. Head-of-state and head-of-government are two different functions>>>
IRAN

Whether Egypt's uprising could spread to Iran is an open question. Regional protests come amid deteriorating economic conditions in Iran. Under tightening economic sanctions, economic growth, unemployment, inflation, and poverty are all worse in Iran than in Tunisia or Egypt, writes Ali Reza Eshraghi in the Asia Times. But unlike Tunisia's unpopular former president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, who was ousted in January, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still has support from poorer Iranians>>>

Since the Egyptian uprising began, Iran's opposition figures inside and outside the country have looked to the streets of Cairo with admiration and regret. Who would have thought it would be the Egyptians capable of forcing concessions -- however limited they might be at this stage -- from their authoritarian rulers, not the Green movement? "For the first time in history, the Iranians are jealous of the Arabs," said a young oppositionist, who was active in the 2009 protests>>>
UPRISING

انقلابها و تحولات اجتماعی و سیاسی خاصیت دومینو (Domino) دارند. وقتی انقلاب یا تحولی در کشوری یا سرزمینی روی میدهد، معمولا بر کشورهای همسایه یا جوامعی که از خصوصیات فرهنگی، سیاسی یا اجتماعی مشترکی برخوردار هستند تأثیر میگذارد، و به تحولاتی در آن جامعه منتهی میشود. و هر چه که به دوران جدید نزدیک میشویم، سرعت ارتباطات و انتقال اطلاعات، به این روند شتاب و تأثیر بیشتری میدهد>>>

به گمونم یه مورچه رفته تو مخم. آره رفته. شک ندارم که یه مورچه نر سیاهِ نازک رفته تو مخم، فقط نمی دونم چه طوری. اول باور نمی کردم. آخه هیچ وقت نشنیده بودم مورچه بره تو مخ کسی. شاید یه بعد از ظهر آفتابی تو بالکن چرتی زدم. شاید یکی از مورچه های روی هِرِّی دیوار از ردیف مرتب مورچه ها خارج شده و اشتباهی رفته تو گوش یا دماغ من>>>

« کالیگولا» باله ایست یک ساعت و نیمه با طراحی نیکلا لوریش، یکی از رقاصان درجه یک اپرای ملی پاریس و گیوم گاین. «کالیگولا» اولین کار او در زمینه طراحی رقص است و او شخصیت کالیگولا را با موسیقی چهار فصل آنتونیو ویوالدی بر روی صحنه آورده است. پیش از این هرگز هنگام شنیدن چهار فصل ویوالدی به کالیگولا نیندیشده بودم اما طراحی لوریش نشان می دهد که چنین امری ممکن است

GOODBYE

The Egyptian People's courageous struggle is more than the ouster of a hated dictator: it is a sweeping movement against an old, cruel order and has deep economic, social, political and international dimensions. The sudden revolutionary eruption in Egypt and the demand for real and substantive democracy, equality and independence from U.S. domination has stunned the leaders of the western imperialist powers>>>
