The Green Revolution- for the people of Iran- for freedom- Paul Collier

green lay deep

in the waters of Dark

a small emerald ripple

below the black brow

of that heavy load

some foul whale

ate itself out til its own

bone fell and kicked up

the emerald bed

green rising through the black

until the sea itself

glistens with flakes of verdigris-

liberty

6-16-9 Iran Protests- An Open letter to the world from the Iranian Resistance

6-15-9 Iran News- how to fight for the Iranian students on Twitter

The originator of this post - http://reinikainen.co.uk/ - has approved other sites posting it:

“The purpose of this guide is to help you participate constructively in the Iranian election protests through twitter.

1. Do NOT publicise proxy IP’s over twitter, and especially not using the #iranelection hashtag. Security forces are monitoring this hashtag, and the moment they identify a proxy IP they will block it in Iran. If you are creating new proxies for the Iranian bloggers, DM them to @stopAhmadi or @iran09 and they will distributed them discretely to bloggers in Iran.

2. Hashtags, the only two legitimate hashtags being used by bloggers in Iran are #iranelection and #gr88, other hashtag ideas run the risk of diluting the conversation.

3. Keep you bull$hit filter up! Security forces are now setting up twitter accounts to spread disinformation by posing as Iranian protesters. Please don’t retweet impetuosly, try to confirm information with reliable sources before retweeting. The legitimate sources are not hard to find and follow. 4. Help cover the bloggers: change your twitter settings so that your location is TEHRAN and your time zone is GMT +3.30. Security forces are hunting for bloggers using location and timezone searches. If we all become ‘Iranians’ it becomes much harder to find them. 5. Don’t blow their cover! If you discover a genuine source, please don’t publicise their name or location on a website. These bloggers are in REAL danger. Spread the word discretely through your own networks but don’t signpost them to the security forces. People are dying there, for real, please keep that in mind. 6. Denial of Service attacks. If you don’t know what you are doing, stay out of this game. Only target those sites the legitimate Iranian bloggers are designating. Be aware that these attacks can have detrimental effects to the network the protesters are relying on. Keep monitoring their traffic to note when you should turn the taps on or off. 7. Do spread the (legitimate) word, it works! When the bloggers asked for twitter maintenance to be postponed using the #nomaintenance tag, it had the desired effect. As long as we spread good information, provide moral support to the protesters, and take our lead from the legitimate bloggers, we can make a constructive contribution.

Please remember that this is about the future of the Iranian people, while it might be exciting to get caught up in the flow of participating in a new meme, do not lose sight of what this is really about.”

Tell Congress To Sign The Free Exercise of Religion Pledge


Instructions for the Free Exercise of Religion Pledge.

 

Please send or bring this Pledge to your Member of Congress or United States Senator.  (It is OK to email it to your Representative or Senator.  They work for you.) 

 

Ask them to sign it. 

 

Then please notify us about what you did by email.  Email national pledge coordinator Bill Collier at upadaria@yahoo.com. 

 

Then photocopy it, keep a copy for your files, and send the original to

 

Mr. William Collier

The Freedomist Congress

306 Valley St.

Marysville Pa 17053

 

With your name, address, and any anecdotes you would care to share and we will provide some public exposure to your efforts. 

 

If they refuse to sign or defer signing, please let us know that, and any explanation they might give.

 

At the beginning of every new Congress, all Congresspeople take the following oath:

 

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

 

And the Free Exercise of Religion Pledge is a personal affirmation of verbatim text from the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.  Therefore, there seems to be no compelling reason why any Member of Congress or United States Senator would so much as hesitate to sign the Free Exercise of Religion Pledge.

 

Once they have signed we will show you how to hold them accountable.
