Marche sur mes yeux

After about 2 or 3 years that i did not read any book ,last night i see a book which was a free Persian version of a book named "walk on my eyes",the book was originally publish in French in the publisher and writers publish the Persian version of it  freely on the internet.
Writers are tow western journalist who worked in Iran for years . They started a project about happy Iranians that they face  during the years that they worked in Iran  but their  project have a coincidence with what happened in Iran after last damn presidential election,the  book briefly introduce Iran society  ,it  covers most aspect of Iran from  leaders and politic to Iran's youth fever for a nose job or even how a Basiji thinks when he beats people on streets . the book  is so interesting and easy  for read, the reader really enjoy it , i really enjoy the sense of humor of writers about how they see Iranians and and their behavior . As i wrote the book was my first book that  i read after a long time and also i must added that i read the whole 444 pages from midnight to 5 a.m of morning,so weird,huh ? my first book and my first post on my blog after a long time!

Green miracle is alive

After about 3 month in tension we are spend calm days  in Iran or it is better i say situation in Iran is more like  a big fire underneath of ashes . many  people are in prison including  ordinary people and leaders of oppositions and many journalists.

oppositions newspaper are shut down and some few that are still published are under heavy pressure and their content must approved by authorities before they could send their newspaper to print house for publishing.

government TV and radio which are the only legal TV and radio station in Iran are broadcast  protesters and oppositions  courts widely and show to the people these decent men and women in pajamas who are confess against themselves and their beliefs exactly after tow month that they were held  in sole cell in prison . every night they shows special reports that try to convince people that there were not any fraud in election ,there were not any systematic torture or rape!!!! in prison ,they were not shooting to people in demonstrations !!!!

maybe you cannot see more protest in street but you can reads slogans in green on the walls of streets  or on phone booth or you could see green bands which are  hang from green trees in parks or every day you could listened to more songs and read  more poems or watch more green movement  clips!! on YouTube  or other sites on internet in support of green movement in Iran and even   you could see people are speak  about  a mass protest in an annual  governmental demonstration in favor of Palestinian people but they want wear green show “V”  with their hands.

as i said the situation are like a fire beneath of ashes like what the world saw as how  millions of people held  biggest demonstration in Iran  exactly one day after election without any media and organize it only on internet with their Twitter and Facebook accounts in protest of fraud in election and what they experienced in past by Iran's leaders.

Where is My vote?

people ask me why i don't write here more especially when Iran is in all of headlines in the world .first of all my weblog is filtered in Iran and then i must confess i wrote a long post in favor of Mousavi before election but good or bad that post accidentally deleted and my silence on my weblog continue .

i voted to Mousavi and to camping for him and tried convince more people to vote for him but it was really hard especially in the district that i live in Tehran, our district is downtown and here many people supported for Ahmadinnejad , here and in villages and small towns ahmadinejad are so popular among people because his campaign speak about corruption!!!in last 30 years so people who suffer from poverty and injustice in their social life see him as a hero .

so victory of ahmadinejad was predictable but what is so mysterious is the number of votes that every candidates could get for example no one could predict Ahamadinejad win election with 24 million vote and Karoubi only get 300,000,000 votes.

anyway results was very mysterious and at least 30% of voters to mousavi came to streets, people who most of them are educated and and want a modern life .they protest with silent rallies for their votes but Government could not tolerant for more than 4 days and on 5th day they repress people violently .they use basij militia to restrain protesters .basij is a people organized militia in Iran and many people who are loyal to revolution are registered in this militia ,so as you see government repress a segment(at least 30%) of own people with another part of people in Iran society and this is what i am scared from it . they are trying spread hate among people in Iran .they try to say protester are belong to up level people from uptowns and others who votes to Ahmadinejad are middleclass people and “It is a confrontation and war between poverty and wealth” and this is very dangerous for future of our society.

Obama as President

About 3 years ago I wrote a post and complain why American people vote to bush for second time .
now after 3 years and half I am writing another post about another united state election for presidency.first of all it is better I declare my position about candidates .for sure I am not a fan of John McCain because he wants bomb,bomb, bomb my country.
and between senator Obama and Hillary Clinton I choose Obama because I think his views are more sufficient for world as president of one of the  most important countries and especially for my country ,Iran.
I really wish a moderate president as leader of unite state, a leader who believe in dialogue more than any violate action .unfortunately in my country conservative are in power, and it means never two side that both of them are bully cannot agree on a win win position.both side wants see lose of opposite side.

so I believe that Obama it is a good choice for iranian people  ,because he believe on negotiation with Iran without any precondition,and if you were a moderate person, in negotiation even with a hard line side you could manipulate crisis with your logic and let opposite side thought you are a loser* .

-------------------------------------------

*I know I was very optimistic about Obama negotiation with Iran.

A honorable man!

Mr president went to Amir Kabir university 4 days after the day named "student day " in Iran .he went to Amir Kabir university ,the university that more opposition student study there ,he went to the university only 5 days remain to election ,he allowed student swear to him and ignite his picture in front of himself ,he allowed also TV showed the secnces.
Why? does Ahmadinejad changed ?does he wants hear the voice of his opposition and regime opposition?dose he had dream last night about how nice is a democracy and about benefits of freedom expression ?
In the last presidential election Mr president on TV begin to tell "how his opponents are bad!! they made for him jokes about he never wash himself and how ditrty he is" he told people how much he is a nice guy and he will forgive all the people who Libeled him in election.
yesterday Mr president also said at the end of his speech ! in univercity that he will forgive all the student who swore him and ignited his pictures!!! what nice president?
we are living in a democratic society and only 2 days remain to election!!

Viva minimum reform

Again another election in Iran .

in assembly of experts election I could say that there is not no competing between candidates .they choose 145 clerics candidates for us and Iranian must elected about 86 of them as their representatives in assembly of experts(1.6 candidate for every seat!!!!!!!!) .I prefer ignore this as election and democracy but we are anticipating another election
we will vote in city and village council election this Friday. there is about 500,000candidates in all of the country and I think this election is more competitive .

for example in Tehran there is 3 major list of candidates introduced by political factions :

1- supporters of Mr Ahmadinejad (fundamentalists)

2-supporters of mayor of Tehran Ghalibaf ( technocrats conservative )

3-supporters of Mr khatami former reformist president (reformist)

the first list is a little scary the list consist by names of sister and Godchild! of Mr president. so I must ignore this list and I hope other people do the same because we will not to see worse than condition that we experienced today.

but I have more doubt about the 2 next list , naturally I must support list of reformists but I doubt about it because recently I concluded that a conservative but practical team which believes in development could get more result in Iran because the THE POWER in Iran sees them as friend but think about reformists as insiders and spies of foreign governments!

so I think I will vote to a mixture !!! reformists and technocrats conservative
------------

maybe some ask why I wanna vote? especially when more ! newspapers shout down ,more! sites blocks , more books banned to publish and etc.

I thought about it so much and I saw no more choice for myself ,I must vote and encourage others to vote for changing ,because if for another time supporters and ideology of Ahmadinejad could win another election the condition get worse than today .

so we must use our possibility for even a minimum reform in Iran .

Congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when announced that Ahmadi nejad won the election I confess that I were for hours depressed and thought about what happen next.
Any way he is now president with fraud or without it. I hope next 4 years be better than what I think it will be , and again I hope Mr. Ahmadi nejad don’t drop the ladder WHICH he climb from it.

Bitter votes

I Never think that someday I force to vote for Hashemi because I terrify another one (Ahmadinejad)
These days in Iran people are frightening many scared about what may happen in next days and many wrote letters: "we support Hashemi in second round election only because we want to say NO to fascism.” A big contradiction in Iranian society.
Lucky mayor decided separate women and men from each other in society (like park, taxies, university classes, and elevator) because he wants protect them!
He also dream that will Execute an economic plan that he named it “Islamic economic”. This plan is like what that be in communism countries.
At last, a strange theory that I read somewhere:
With fraud in election, they brought Ahmadinejad for second round as rival of Hashemi Rafsanjani, because if someone like Moeen second round all of people vote for Moeen instead Rafsanjani.

French presidential election in 2002 repeat in Iran

Birds are spinning on my head. The result is really confusing . election go to second round with Hashemi Rafsanjani (that was predictable) but when i found who is his rival, birds start to spin:
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, mayor of Tehran who is a real extremist conservative.
It is as a nightmare .I really didn't want president of Iran be a man that is like :he never wash himself. And I did not want when in west, claimed that iran support terrorism he was symbol of it.
I will predict in second round, lucky mayor have a more easy challenge with Hashemi Rafsanjani because all supporters of conservatives will vote for him in a big coalition.
At last, I really fell that Iran will be a prison in next months if this ever worst choice became president

I will vote for moeen today but ...

I decided vote for dr.Moeen but last night when I read an article, I really doubted for my imaginations about day after dr.Moeen win election. I know that what Moeen promised people is ideal in theory and make a utopia for Iranians, but in practice do these ideas could be success?

-Do conservatives give up this time or like before resisting against votes?
-Reformists in this last 8 years prove that they are not good manger in although they are good theoretician.
-Is not better if I vote for a pragmatic person that also have good relation with powerful leaders in Iran, someone like Ghalibaf ?
---------------
any way and even with these doubts i voted for moeen cause i found his words honestly.

I prefer my president be...

tomorow is day of electiotin and i wish result be more and more like this:

Moeen >> HASHEMI > Ghalibaf

------------------

Sean Penn is in Iran as a reporter read letter of his friend who is with him in this amazing journey

wallpapers

Iran's cities these days cover with posters of candidates .they are smile to people and say: "we will make a different life for you, pls belive us we are changed ,we are not who were before".

Why Hashemi become popular among some people in Iran again?

In Iran if you asked people their opinions about Hashemi Rafsanjani, Most of them said: he is ..., he and his relations stole Iran property, and he is godfather of a real mafia.

However, when you asked them: Ok, now which of these candidates you are going to chose as president? many answered: I think I will vote to Hashemi!
I really don’t know why? maybe they think cause Hashemi was one of few man in top level of power in Iran for last 25 years and also he has a independent character in front of supreme leader that is not like other conservative who do what leader order to them . maybe when he again be in executive position it was better than if progressive reformists (that Dr.Moeen reprehensive them ) win election because even if they can success in election they cannot do any thing cause THE power didn’t allow them destroy what they could built for themselves in these years. However, Hashemi is from themselves and is a trusted man so he never betray to them.
Any way nothing it is clear until 17 June, and I hope that day all of predicts will be wrong and Dr.moeen became Iran president for next 4 years.

Resisting against votes

In France when people say No to European constitution the Prime Minster resign and appointed a new prime minister .
why? because people say no to an important referendum that wasn’t so related to government .
but Prime Minster resigned (dismiss) because who are in power found that best reference for understanding what people think is votes that they give not demonstration that government set them up.
but in Iran in 1998 when 70% of people chose reformist president khatami conservatives who have real power not even gave up though they resist against people decision and with appointing extremists and rival of reformist in important place of regime try make problem for reformists and people.

The Land of Contradictions

The situation is very complicated in Iran. The Guardian Council (election watchdog) announced on television that Mustafa Moeen had been disqualified for the presidential election but then they reinstated him by order of the supreme leader.
Now some questions are on people's minds:'
Did the supreme leader really not know members of guardian Council (who chose by leader) disqualified most important reformist candidate until he suddenly heard the news on television like other people?
Must Moeen accept qualifying in this way?
Is all of this part of a game to excite people to participate more in the upcoming election?

Reformists

Presidential election-4
They emerged as supporters of president khatami when people chose him for the first time with their amazing votes.
Definitely many of them were not real reformist and because in late years being a reformist have benefits they changed their names but some of them really want and try for real democracy in Iran and say less lies and more truth(only maybe).
In election most important candidates of reformist is Dr.Mostafa Moeen and his words are more like what many people of Iran wants.
But media in Iran boycotts him and don’t allow him to introduce himself for people and unfortunately he didn’t have the charisma that president khatami had. So I don’t think that he could success for these reasons.
Anyway I will vote to him because maybe with his presidency meaning of freedom, human right don’t change more in Iran.

CONSERVATIVES

Presidential election-3
They have at least 6 candidates .and its very strange for people because conservatives know very well how hide their arguments and only show that they have unity between themselves but this time their differences become publicly so these day everybody know that they have a big debate for choosing only 1 person from these 6 candidates. But no one predict that they could and its good because their votes broke between their candidates.
ps: I think there is no need I write about principle of conservatives. They are support theocracy and their utopia is a close society for controlling people easily and 1984 is their bible ;)

Presidential election-2

Who wants be next president of Iran?
They are 2 main group, conservatives who have at least 6 candidates and reformists who have 2 candidates and I’ll try write more about them in next days but what I want to write about is that many people in Iran wants be a president so in registration for candidates there is a long queue from people who wants register and you must not surprised when found your classmate register for being a president.
I know that in a democratic system every citizen have right to candidate him/herself and ask people for vetoing to her/him. But when a baker or butcher wants be president you will be agree with me that again another ring lost.

Presidential election-1

Iran’s newspaper are full with news about presidential election but among people is a kind of apathy so election is not main subject, (main subject is price of tomato). I think it was very dangerous because when rate of participation be low conservative can easily win election with votes that supporter of regime gives to them. They are at least 15% percent of Iranian society but always participate in every election and every demonstration when regime asks them.
