Excerpts from Anonymous Iran Blog

Silence and the Specter of Death

NOTE: This is posted for a friend, and for his friend, both of whom shall remain anonymous:
...

As we approach the morning in Iran, our sources are strangely quiet. All are making their final farewells in case they must die. They are preparing for martyrdom, rather than live in an unjust regime with a ruler who cannot hear them, and who can no longer hear God.
...

"The lion roars loudest just before death."

Is that Khamanei? Or is it the will of the people that roars now, forever to be silenced by the louder roar of gunfire?
...

Says one part of my possibly final email from my friend:

Quote:

I go into an uncertain future, save one certainty: our friendship will last until the moment of my death. ... The Basiji are certainly not in God's favor. Be well, and goodbye.

As I read these words, I am actually crying. I'm not a particularly religious person, but if there is a God, may he protect my friend.

Oh... I feel my eyes watering up. These people, probably very nice people, are going to give up their lives for freedom. All this while a ruthless dictator [Ayatollah Khamanei and Mahmoud Ahmadinjad] don't care and order the police to kill them.

This is all very sad. This is why they have captured our hearts.

Only a few hours left until the rally is supposed to take place. (Wiping tears from my eyes as I type this.)

My thoughts are with those who in a short time may end up giving their lives for freedom.
I pray that today will somehow bring about the start of a new better life for Iran.
Soon, I hope, no more shall Iranians be held down by Khamenei's hand.

To you who will be there:
Take care. Be strong. Be free. God bless you.

I hope you will not get hurt, you beautiful girl. I hope you'll get a chance to trim your eyebrows as you always dreamed of.
I hope you will collect and listen to many many songs until you get old and you cannot hear anymore.
Then, I hope you'll sit and tell your stories of these horrifying days to your grandchildren, and I truly hope your granddaughters and grandsons will not believe your stories! I hope they'll tell you:" Hey Grandma, how it was possible that somebody would shoot you if you had asked a simple question that " where is my vote?"
I hope they will live in a society that they will not have to fear asking any question!
I hope, in the dark of the nights, they will not have to cry "Alaah-o Akbar". Instead, they'll sing loudly, and dance wildly and think freely in the daylight! I hope!

Iran Is showing that they are strong, that they have courage and that they have spirit!
What is happening in Iran now isn't just "protests" like is being reported in our Western news, infact it is a revolution.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

-The stupid will not understand and the smart will not try, the world lies in the hands of those who arn't scared to die.


much love to the Iranians from Belgium

a 5 sentence message of inspiration, circa 1776.:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
