This email came to me – I decided to translate the interview:
Wednesday June 24th - A Chat with one of the Plain-clothed club-wielders
“We get 200 dollars a day”
Four days after the elections, there have been anti-demonstration forces on the streets of Tehran whose accents are unrecognizable. Witnesses say they are not able to understand what they are saying. Some say they have openly heard Arabic being spoken by some. Yesterday, I had a chance to chat with one of the plain-clothed men in a sandwich shop.
Me: Salaam brother. How are you?
Him: God Bless you, fine, thank you.
Me: Where are you from?
Him: Torbat
Me: Torbat?
Him: Torbat-e Jam (a small town in the Eastern region of Iran close to the border of Afghanistan)
Me: How old are you?
Him: 36.
Me: Do you have a wife and kids?
Him: No. Wife and kids costs money. I am unemployed.
Me: Unemployed? Aren’t you a Basiji? Doesn’t the army give you a fixed salary?
Him: No. I am not a Basiji. I am unemployed.
Me: But you are working now, aren’t you?
Him: Yeah.
Me: Why do you have that club?
Him: They brought us here to hit the anti-revolutionaries. That’s why they gave us this club.
Me: Who gave it to you?
Him: Haji. He told me to hit in such a way that they don’t get up anymore. They’re traitors!

answer to your question
by GitDoun on Fri Jun 26, 2009 03:44 PM PDTi think they are genuinely beating people up because they are sincere demagogue worshippers of khamenei. khamenei, to these pitiful brainwashed men, is 2nd only to the 12th shia imam.
what to expect?
by anonymous fish on Fri Jun 26, 2009 11:36 AM PDTAN was buying votes with money and potatoes. It's not a stretch to believe they are hiring more thugs to do their dirty work. I'm more inclined to believe that their attitude is "it worked before, it will work again".
$200 a day to beat people up
by sarasepidzadeh on Fri Jun 26, 2009 10:23 AM PDTare you kidding me? $200 a day is a lot of money for the guy and it will only cost the state about $200,000 to intimidate people. Why ELSE are they out beating people?? How do you explain it GitDoun?

im not buying it
by GitDoun on Thu Jun 25, 2009 07:53 PM PDTthank god i took iranian studies last year here at school. this blog reminded me of an article i came across on an old microfiche here at the library. An article written in 1985 by the los angeles times heavily sourced by monarchists and/or anti-islamic republic organizations that Iranian Soldiers back in the 80's were being paid $10,000 by khomeini to go out in the battlefield and fight the Iraqis. ..... 24 yrs later, in 2009, with 20/20 hindsight obvioulsy the sources of that article were spinning fabrications. This blog is no different.
Regime change will not get any traction from lies and disgraceful ridicule of iranians.
