Blogs in Iran? You are kidding, right?
Hey, maybe an Iranian can read mine and realize that all Americans are not bloodthirsty NaZionists automatons!
Seriously, reader, I hope the Iranians have read my stuff!
That way they will know not all Americans are assholes like Bush and Co.!
"From Iran’s Fiery Leader, a Slightly Tamer Blog" by NAZILA FATHI
TEHRAN, Dec. 10 — Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran, is not the first name that comes to mind when thinking of net surfers and instant messages. Yet, it turns out, the man is a blogger.
I really like him now!
Equally surprising for a leader known for a kind of thundering public presence, his blog is not especially tough. He condemns Washington’s policies, but writes infrequently and more ponderously than in his confrontational speeches. Yet the reader comments posted alongside his own seem far less censored and harsher than one might expect.
Especially if you read the New York Times Zionist propaganda!
One comment posted by an American reader:
“I think you are an evil leader. Freedom and tolerance are necessities in this day and age, and the fact that your country kills intellectuals, journalists, minorities is horrible and deeply disturbing.”
Wow! The evil little dictator let an American put that comment in his sight?
Ahmadinejad is better than me!
I don't allow comments, because I am tired of arguing over Zionist-propagated bullshit and lies!
As for countries that kill intellectuals: Story Iraq: Mossad's Death Squads
Another reader said his claim at Columbia University in September that there were no gays in Iran was absurd and called his domestic policies “brutish.”
Still another wrote:
“Shut up please, would you? I get headaches reading your nonsense stuff.”
That's the way I feel in the morning after I get done reading the New York Times.
Those comments run along with supportive ones, including postings that seem to refer to the new American intelligence estimate that Iran is not actively pursuing a nuclear weapon, something Mr. Ahmadinejad had repeatedly asserted.
A Canadian wrote: “I knew you were telling the truth.”
The exchanges are available at ahmadinejad.ir in Persian, Arabic, English and French. The president has been keeping the blog for more than a year and promises to spend 15 minutes a week updating it.
Karim Arghandehpour, a political scientist and journalist in Tehran:
“He has a very keen understanding of publicity. His Web log shows how he believes in modern publicity instruments and wants to use them.”
Not a primitive crackpot like the Zionist-controlled press has made him out to be, huh?
In his most recent piece, Mr. Ahmadinejad has provided a “Guideline for Islamic Governance” and writes about how an official should consider his duties as his “responsibilities before God” to help the people:
“It is in this view that the smile of an orphan is more important than the contentment of greedy rulers."
That's beautiful, readers! As is this statement he released!
There is a political irony to Mr. Ahmadinejad’s blogging, since other Iranian bloggers, including reporters who worked for news Web sites, came under more pressure after his election. Hundreds of Web sites and blogs that were critical of the government have been blocked. Censorship has been so wide that the president’s blog was once blocked mistakenly along with Google for a day.
Well, let's hope that never happens in America, 'ey?
In fact, blogging has become common among former officials, especially reformist politicians who do not have a platform to express their ideas.
Look at the Times say how great blogging is -- as long as it is not here in AmeriKa, huh, Times?
Un-fucking-believable!
The first official who became a blogger was Mohammad Ali Abtahi, a vice president to former President Mohammad Khatami. Mr. Abtahi has remained an active blogger, updating his Web site every day for the past four years.
Mr. Abtahi: “I thought it was exciting when the president first launched his blog, but it looks like it is just a formality. The computer is one of the many items on his desk which he does not use very often.”
However, the president’s Web log highlights the unusual techniques he uses, like the trucks that follow him on provincial trips for collecting people’s letters to him appealing for help, to promote his populist agenda.
Mr. Ahmadinejad has tried to touch on most issues that concern him. He has written about freedom in Iran, referring to the protest of students against him a year ago at Amir Kabir University in Tehran as an example of its existence in Iran.
Ahmadinejad, without referring to the fate of the students, many of whom are in prison now, wrote:
“It was a joyous feeling to see a small group insult the elected president of people fearlessly amid a majority.”
And HOW MANY PEOPLE does George W. Bush have in SECRET TORTURE CHAMBERS, huh, Times?!
Fucking dogcrap paper!
In a letter to an American mother whose son was killed in Iraq, he calls the United States a “warmonger” but he says he respects all people of the world, including American people. In another article, he condemns the fingerprinting of passengers, like Iranians, by American customs officials and says it has caused hatred toward the American government.
Although comments posted on the Web log are screened, the ones on the English version are more hostile than the ones in Persian.
The ones in Persian express more sympathy and admiration for the president, but a little sarcasm has been allowed. Ibrahim Sadegh-al “thanked” the president for creating more jobs with economic policies that have led to a black market for goods.
Mr. Sadegh-al, referring to people selling their rations in the black market, said there were only two gas stations in his town before gasoline was rationed in late June:
“One of the two was always closed back then, but now we have 3,000 people selling petrol.”
In his autobiography, Mr. Ahmadinejad writes about his childhood in a small town; the poverty of his family; excessive spending of the previous government, which put further pressure on the poor; his love for the late Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the revolution; and his memories of the Iran-Iraq war. He portrays himself as a pious, studious young man who also had to work as a teenager because of the poverty of his family.
The blog has been hacked several times.
Gee, WHO or WHAT COUNTRY would want to do that?
A group called Yahoo Underground, in August, hacked his site and posted a sarcastic message:
“We thank you on behalf of all Iranian hackers for defending the right of Iranian people against all the countries in the world. We hope that you defend the irrefutable right of Iranian people to nuclear energy until your last breath."
Even with the Zionist filter on this piece, they can't touch Ahmadinejad!
The real assholes of the world reside in USrael!
