Demonstrations: Bahman 25/February 14

NASSER SHIRAKBARI — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 21:26:02 +0000

Demonstrations have been called for by Green movement leaders, Moussavi and Karroubi in solidarity with Tunisian and Egyptian people’s Revolution.

Moussavi Website Kaleme contains a page dedicated to this event.

They had previously asked the government for permit, but they are being ignored so far.

So the special page in Kaleme puts forth Islamic Republic’s Constitution Article 27 which state the citizen are permitted to conduct peaceful demonstrations, (article 9)without interference from any government agency.(translated to the best of my ability).

Power Play In Iran

A little over a year ago I wrote an article published in Iranian.com, entitle “Final Show Down”. In the article I predicted that Iran’s political center of gravity is located in the Pasdaran Revolutionary Guards, and they will eventually push the clerics over the cliff. At the time there was no visible sign. My prediction was based on psychology of human nature. Once you get your foot on the ground, and feeling secure, you will look to see what more is there to be had. In this case we are looking at power and the wealth that comes with it.

Flotilla Fiasco, a differing view

So far what we know about the flotilla fiasco is as follows: A group of humanitarian activist put together a package of much needed goods for relief to inhabitants of Gaza. They were to be delivered by a Turkish Islamic Charity (IHH) using a flotilla of few ships under Turkish flag. They had made sure they carried no weapons and all boarded together in Turkish port of Antalya. On early hours of May 31, 2010 they were attacked by Israeli commandos, and it’s written that nine were killed and dozens wounded.

Final Show Down, Part II Makings Of a Revolution

NASSER SHIRAKBARI — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 20:04:12 +0000

A revolution implicates various elements that is in its nature such as political, economic, cultural, plus all others that become the thrust of a momentum that can not be stopped no matter what stands in its way. A revolution can become a beast, a living thing with its own flesh and blood and physical presence that intimidates bystanders and those from far beyond observing the movement of a massive hurricane sweeping across without discrimination of what is below. It also has mind and spirit.
