Women at the Heart of Iran Election Protests

[risadelangel]

Let's face it: we Americans are clueless about the courageous women of Iran, Iraq - anywhere our government meddled to control the other country's oil supply. Most Americans aren't aware that our CIA overthrew Iran's beloved, democratically elected leader and installed a vicious dictator who these young women's elders later had to fight and die in the street to get rid of. All our problems with the Middle East - including 9/11- started with America's GREED FOR THEIR OIL that began decades ago.

We SORELY need Sarah Palin for President RIGHT NOW instead of Obambi for Palin will UNLEASH the WRATH OF GOD HERSELF onto the EVIL SATANIC Islamic government and WIPE IT OFF THE FACE OF THIS EARTH! She will EXPOSE their PUSSIES for the whole world to see and DESTROY their POWER and credibility! She will then install a new democractic government run ENTIRELY by women and they will BAN the hijab and all forms of Islamic fundamentalist extremist actions, behavior and ideas!

You have given only an ordinary woman way too much credit.

[1982mockingbird1982]

Its especially moving seeing women who youd expect to be all submisive bcoz they wear hijabs, to be so fearless and courageous. It either proves I have a misconception about iranian/muslim women OR these women can resist social pressure to be submisive.

last year, US congress approved additional 400Mio USD for covert oprations and psychological warfare against iraq .. guess what this is used for...

this is the strongest thread of this century "behave, or the US will bring democracy to your country!"

[pfote65]

correction, iran of course

[JosieEllen]

I agree with the comments from TheKilgoretrout and xxreadyxxsetgoxx. It makes me ashamed we haven't stood up and protestor more in the US over the corruption, greed, lies, and fraud. How did we become so complacent? These women know they face possible death. They are my Heroes.

[xxreadyxxsetgoxx]

Damn.

That Iranian election must have been almost as fraudulent as the Bush/Gore election back in 2000.

[TheKilgoretrout]

Those Iranians are braver than Americans were in 2000 when we failed to "riot" in the streets when the will of the people was denied.

You Got That Right ....

[GreenRad2012]

When the WOMEN are fed up, LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

[algusa091]

IRAN suck

[Prunesqualer]

I have seen similar behaviour when western governments are confronted with mass protests (these guys are attacking police, burning cars and busses, and smashing shop windows).

I would like to see credible evidence showing that the election was significantly fixed (ie the opposition got more votes).

I don't much like the Iranian regime but am also suspicious about the motives of those fuelling this unrest.

[nohealthcare62]

The IMAN tells the people who sits in the Presidents seat ..the Election is only a mind control game to see how the people are feeling and thinking ..Buraks are banned in France TODAY !

[pongman]

I don't see how this demonstration or election will help women in Iran as long as Iran stays as an Islamic Republic. Mousavi ran on a platform promising more equality for women but that can't happen when the Ayatolla and the clerics are the supreme commanders of Iran. I think Mousavi being the politician that he is, was giving false hope and garnering the women's vote. They need to separate mosque from state for equality in all Iran.

I think outside forces have been planning this to destablize Iran as a nation. Once it is destablize those forces will try to set up a "democracy".

La paix soit sur vous...

[sugarpuddin88]

The bourgeoisie are upset & protesting - ALL WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM THE CIA

And this is an embarrassment to the CIA because it's like, "We gave you all this money to subvert Iran & you couldn't get them fighting amongst themselves"

The truth is, we didn't need the CIA pumping phony money into their banks; or backing Paki rebels; it just happened on its own!

America stay out of other countries troubles!

[ViralHaelios]

You're the man, Mike. Someone needs to get the word out in the Western world

[rezach]

Thank you Michael for supporting iranian people, we all appreciate your effort to share the news with your fans...

[chevkoch]

[LouieArrighi]

the Israelites and AIPAC want all Iranians dead.

[WKaliberr]

Iran has women?! O_o

[Derleiter17]

lolz

[Defucijus]

fuck this froud!

[saxmanchiro]

People dying in the streets is not bullshit. They want change and the movement for change will succeed if the people want it to.

Keep these vids coming, Mike. It helps the cause.

[pouyanb]

Thank you mike for supporting us.

[onlywhenprovoked]

um. why do police forces in iran have gear with the word POLICE written in english?

i smell bullshit.

[Defucijus]

Y wtf? with police shields IN IRAN with writen words POLICE :DD loled

[emadtheman]

what r u guys retarded? POLICE is an international word, and I acknowledge that it is and English word as well. in Iran Police is pronounced Police too.

[pokerslut530]

lolol those poor sheltered morons... you tell em.

[onlywhenprovoked]

police in farsi is polise.

police in french is policia.

so you're telling me someone who reads english won't know what a fucking riot cop with the polise or policia on his fucking shield means?

why did their government adopt the language of their enemy?

and why would they make their signs "english speaking tourist friendly" if there's no english speaking tourists going there?

[onlywhenprovoked]

and furthermore...

if iran is plugged into facebook, twitter and youtube...

and they all speak english....

where the FUCK are all the iranian vloggers talking about what's going on there?

[Defucijus]

Y i totaly agree - in Lithuania its POLICIJA. Its international word POLICE. But in all countryes it is writen diferent. This year we had many protest - and all police had shields special armor and stuff where was writen POLICIJA :) In Poland its "Policja". In Latvia there were protest to it was writen "Policijas" u can check it out there is a lot of photos. So for me its strange..that so poor country like LT can afford write on armor and shields in local languedge and Iran cant :D

[kevmo99]

Police in French is Police.

English adopted the word from the French.

[givebirthathome]

Maybe they are still using old equipment from the time of the Shah.

[Defucijus]

arabic for police - الشرطة

[LouieArrighi]

me too OWP. Michael Moore usually differentiates what is real and what is BS. I'm sure he'll figure out this pro-Zionist propaganda. questions I'd ask how much were they paid and who organized these protests? do they realize they will be attacked by Israel or the US because they received a little blood money to protest.
