  Censorship is Futile

by Parsy on Mon Apr 09, 2012 01:16 PM PDT

 

Censorship is Futile strategy, IRI and Rahbar are paranoid once again after what they experienced in 2009, No democratic elected gov. would do such a thing; only a fascist dictatorship such as IRI would go this far.... another uprising is imminent and would bring the end of this Satanic regime of Mullahs….

Just in Time for the Upcoming sElections

The mullahs figure if people cannot communicate with the outside world, they can do whatever (not that they did not before) behind closed doors and hence, cutoff the Internet all together.

Two questions:

1. Why even bother? Last time the world did not care, and more than likely, there will NOT be a next time.

2. Will the Iranian people take this sitting down as well? Will they not get finally sick of the status quo with a bunch of rapist anti nationalist pricks hijacking their heritage and country? Have they asked their parents and elders "baba in che gohi bood khordin?"

And as a continuation of these policies

I believe that we should all disclose our identities as some of our esteemed friends on IC have repeatedly demanded.  We can then limit our discussions to traffic laws in Iran.

This is what happens when

This is what happens when you remain indifferent to the suffering of the Iranian people. The indifference of Iranians is a scar on the conscience of our country.
Turning on your PC and surfing the web without a filter shekan is so easy. Taking our freedoms for granted is so easy.

Struggle against time!

Creative concept and excellent animation work! Creativity is the best way to battle obscurantism and censorship! Very much on all fronts, IRI is in a losing strggle against time, which does not seem to be on its side!

The main reason for banning the London Olympic webpage is its logo which reads: ZION.
