I know I'm not always the most eloquent person when it comes to writting blogs but...here it is. This will be short and to the point.

The current situation in Iran should serve as definitive proof that Iran is NOT your enemy. No matter how much propaganda and disinformation we are inundated with here at home (for those of you in the States), this flies in the face of the bullshit talking points and drumbeat to war egged on by assholes like John McCain on the campaign trail and the clueless talking heads in the 'media'. The Iranian people want what all people want....freedom. They want their voices to be heard above the hateful theocracy that hijacked their country decades ago.

It's amazing, inspiring and yet at the same time incredibly heart breaking to see Iranians rising up in the face of absolute brutality and oppression. This should be a lesson to all peoples the world over. This is about human rights...not national pride or any of that other jingoistic nonsense. So don't let them fool you!!

I for one stand in solidarity with the people of Iran, even though I am thousands of miles away, far from the violence and danger. I hope something positive comes out of this madness. And don't doubt for a second that this 'uprising' does not have the potential to transform the entire region of the Middle East.

Feel free to share your thoughts on this guys. Your comments are always appreciated.

I agree with you. Just imagine if we saw this type of mobilization of the disenfranchised after both the 2000 election debacle and the 2004 election here in the United States. It would have been Earth shattering. Sadly, people here are apathetic....others don't know what they can do about it.

While it is true that we have more freedom in this nation then most....we are not free. There are so many forces at work within this nation exerting control that most don't/can't see them. The FED is a great example of that.

IT IS DEFINATELY AN INSPIRING AND HUMBLING VISION TO SEE MY PEOPLE OF IRAN MARCHING IN THE STREETS! MOST HERE IN AMERICA HAVE INDEED BECOME SPOILED MINDLESS DRONES THAT EAT ALL THE MOUTH FED PROPAGANDA SHOVELED DOWN THEIR THROAT! PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND, THAT WE THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA, MUST FIGHT FOR ALL OUR RIGHTS THAT ARE BROKEN DAILY! WE HAD TO FIGHT FOR THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTION AT THE BIRTH OF THIS COUNTRY,  NOW BILL OF RIGHTS IS BEING  SHITTED ON DAILY! FOR AN ABUNDANCE OF BETTER WORDS, THAT FITS IT PERFECT! I WILL CONTINUE TO ENLIGHTEN MY PEOPLE AND EXPRESS FOR THOSE WITHOUT A VOICE EVERYDAY I BREATH! IT IS A NONSTOP BATTLE! WE MUST NOT FALL TO DECEPTION! WE MUST EDUCATE OURSELFS! ACTUALLY READ THE BILL OF RIGHTS SEE WHAT WE AS THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ENTITLED TO AS HUMAN BEINGS!! READ THE CONSTITUTION, IT IS THE REASON YOU LIVE THE WAY YOU DO! READ THE EXECUTIVE ORDERS OBAMA HAS BEEN SIGNING AND SEE HOW THE NEWS AND MEDIA SPIN THE TRUTH! SEE HOW DECEPTIVE OBAMAS WORDPLAY REALLY IS! EDUCATE YOURSELF! THAT IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO! THIS MOMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST CAN DEFINATELY SET A NEW TONE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. OR IT CAN BE EXPLOITED BY THE MEDIA AND USED AS GAS TO HYPE THE PEOPLE INTO ANOTHER MISLEAD SITUATION.  A LARGE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE IN IRAN FEEL THAT AMERICA HAS HAD A HAND IN THE POLITICAL MISCHIEF THEY HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. THIS ISN'T JUST SOME RANDOM ACCUSATION, AMERICA WILL PUSH DEMOCRACY(REALLY THE MILITARY/INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX) NO MATTER WHAT! AND THEY WANT SOMEONE IN POWER THEY FEEL THEY CAN PUPPETEER. THE PEOPLE WANT SOMEONE WHO WILL FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS AND REPRESENT THEM JUSTLY! NOW IRANS SUPREME LEADER AYATOLLAH ALI KHAMENEI IS CALLING FOR AN END TO THE PROTESTS, AND SAYING THAT ALL THE BLOODSHED AND CHAOS FROM HERE ON OUT IS ON THE PROTESTERS. THAT DOESNT SOUND LIKE A LEADER FIGHTING FOR THE PEOPLE TO ME. THOUSANDS TOOK TO THE STREETS IN IRAN, PEOPLE CONSIDERED LIBERALS AND MANY CONSIDERED CONSERVATIVE/RELIGIOUS, ALL CLAIMING VOTER FRAUD. COMPLETE POLAR OPPOSITE PEOPLE STRONGLY BELEIVING THE SAME WRONG DOING! IT IS INSPIRING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HEART BREAKING AS YOU SAID STREAM. DEFINATELY HARD TO GRASP FOR THE EVERYDAY AMERICAN KID. THIS IS WHY WE MUST EDUCATE OURSELFS!! IGNORANCE IS SO BLISSFUL! THATS WHY IRANS STREETS ARE IN AN UPROAR BECAUSE THEY ARE EDUCATED ON THE PROBLEMS AT HAND AND WANT TO DESPERATELY FIGHT TO CHANGE THE POWERS THAT HAVE COME TO BE! EDUCATE YOURSLEF! GOD BLESS!! - MC-ENEME

Can you imagine what the reaction would be if Irans largest Mosque was bombed
and the Ayatolla accused the USA without any evidence,
and then evidence came out it was their own govt?
Would they pretend the evidence did not exist?
Would they say, 'Yeah, but the Americans deserve to be jihaded anyway'?
Or would they arrest their leaders who set them up?
Because we all know what America is doing about the proof that 911 was an inside job...
Nothing!
So much for change...
Lies rule and crime pays in America, from the president down.
But they don't call it lies or propaganda anymore,
they call it public relations and misinformation.
Just like mass murdering entire peoples is called ethnic cleansing
and fraud is called a 'bail out' or should that be 'bale out'
as the economic pilots and crew parachute to safety
leaving the taxpayers to crash with the financial plane...
911 reasons for a tax boycott!
 Cheers
:D

Thanks for all the comments so far guys. It's great to see so many like minded people from so many diverse backgrounds feeling so passionate about such an incredibly important issue. I apologize if I don't always respond to every comment...I try to get them all!

Each and every one of us should do whatever we can to bring awareness and show support for not just the Iranian people, but all oppressed people worldwide. So many have no voice, and it is up to others to speak for them and bring their plight into the public consciousness. I'm so glad you guys are out there...it's a wonderful feeling to know I am not alone. I know it's easy to turn a blind eye, and yeah we ALL have problems. But this is so much bigger than that.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

I too support human rights. However the demonstrations in Iran were about claims of election fraud not human rights. The fact that Iran had such a large voter turnout shows that they support their system of government or else they would not have participated in the election. The demonstrations are being used by the CIA to destabilize the country in an effort to overthrow the government and install a government supportive of American corporate interests and the globalization agenda. The son of the former Shah of Iran hopes to become the new Monarch and ruler of Iran.

I understand your point and even agree with you. However I think you are missing my point. I never stated that the Iranians mobilized demanding human rights, it's obvious that they feel that they have been disenfranchised and defrauded. That is why they are out in force. It IS a human rights issue however as the world is watching people being brutally repressed and silenced for simply voicing their dissatisfaction and anger over what appears to be massive election rigging. How is that NOT a human rights issue?

You are preaching to choir regarding the CIA/globalization as well. Nothing new there my friend.

the real issue is for us to wake up i think not be fooled by mindcontrols like statism etc if we are to end this we need as a whole country to admit it first
