The Day in 100 Seconds: The Revolution Will Be Tweeted

[MrBombmecca]

If we had a Revolution islam would jump in and try to drive...

[kargwain187]

go iran ... be free !!!!

[candiceevans1]

its sad that so many see Teran as just like a U.S Dmonstration now....the last 7 presidents were NWO scum AND WE MUST IMPEACH THE SHILL WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THERE BEFORE HE BANKRUPTS US ALL

[SeeProverb12]

muslim religion doesn't allow freedom of religion or press. They suppress the people to keep them dumb. They only believe in allah. History proves this is not a peaceful organization, or religion. The bible says all there days they shall be at enmity with all men and nations(sons of Hagar). All have a right to believe in whatever you want, but forced religion is not a relationship with God or knowing Him.

[5thmizukage]

In Iran everyone hates the regime.. I am Iranian and have been there... people hate ahmadinejad

[kja5]

A cop hit a female protester with a baton while she was on the ground?!?! ...Oh wait, that exact same thing happens all of the time in the US.

[b00bsmith]

i thought this was video from one of the lapd's recent gigs. hard to tell the difference.

[Username2322]

oh u

[trevfrank]

questioning the entire system you say?

that's because the zeitgeist movement is so strong now

if you haven't joined the movement yet, watch the zeitgeist movies and see for yourself what it's about

[brandonhansentx]

Zeitgeist? is this something I can join for a small donation? something like the NRA?

[trevfrank]

no it's absolutely free.

there are currently over 400,000 members and the movement only launched about 4 months ago

youtube: Addendum

[greatbroad]

Why not recount the votes; are they not paper ballots? Because they are not offering a recount, then I am suspicious of fraud.

Of course, here in the good old USA we would 'never' mess with an election....

(sarcasm, btw)

[TedinLasVegas]

Yeah, as we've seen in Minnesota and Florida, "missing" and "improperly cast" ballots have a tendency to show up...

[BlueEagle8]

The CIA in action.

[robinvan1983]

this is going to end like burma..... where people protest... get picked up by the police and then nothing is changed

[carrierexchange]

Governments should be afraid of the internet.

[carolynfl]

nicely done!!!

[ZingZee123456789]

"We just survived a bloody, violent protest. Lets go tweet about it !"

wtf???

[Cheshirecatmeow1]

Makes sense. They don't think about surviving the protest, the point is to protest. They want to publicize themselves.

[ZingZee123456789]

But of ALL of the social networking sites to use for this, they choose Twitter?

I dont know I just thinks its kind of comical and ironic, dont you think?

[MooseOfReason]

Maybe it was the only one that wasn't disabled.

It's like government officials got together and went like, "Shut down the social networks!"

"Twitter too?"

"What the heck is Twitter?"

[BobCassidy]

Twitter is biggest heap of crap ever and its very much overhyped

[Product1999]

yeah its like peer pressure, everyone on CNN and MSNBC are like come on everybody is doing it....don't you want to be cool.

[daguy1234]

Twitter is an easier way to find "trending topics". Meaning spread the word around.

[sploogersmoof]

they use twitter because for one, it updates in real time and instantly sends messages to thousands of people.

for another, it works.

[morningdreams]

So Reza Sayah is afraid to leave his hotel room?

[HugeHeroesFan]

Who tweets during that?

[sentinel41]

To be honest, compared to what twitter is used for normally, I think this is a major step up. Who gives a crap about what people are doing day to day. The thoughts of a people being suppressed during a major event in a countries history make where you went for lunch knida seem arbitrary and pointless.

[MooseOfReason]

Anyone think our government is pulling the strings over there?

[lloyd76oswald]

Does anyone not think the us is pulling strings?

[tustruman]

I don't think so, but if that were so, it wouldn't be the first time.

[glaked23]

Oh god this Iran election thing is totally not suspicious. /sarcasm

[burntonion05]

I bet Cheney has something to do with that election outcome.

[KruNae]

I bet he also has something to do with why my cup of noodles are always stale. Bastard!

[Richardgwm]

They need to take some lessons from Karl Rove. Now that guy knows how to rig an election.

[paperattack]

Iran girls are quite cute. They are also slutty!

[HugeHeroesFan]

Slutty? Do you mean American girls?

[sploogersmoof]

let me tell you, i can actually see there eyes. hot stuff!

[Uwiluz60]

This could be our streets in a few years...Except we all are armed.

[captaincracklins]

The folks at CNN probably feels vindicated for all its fluff Twitter coverage for the past couple of months.

[jeskao3]

very good editing. I think the videos clips and reporters and speaker on these clips are editing to that out any gaps between words when the people are speaking. Yes the clips are very liberal stations, but the way it is editing doesn't change the meaning in this case..

Nice Ending now no nwo!

[vdubs4life1964]

coming to a street near you.... Hopefully sooner than later..

[bsabruzzo]

Is it me or were some of the videos edited up in the middle of sentanses?

[SabuPtolemy]

Props to all these Iranians for calling out their shit govt. and disputing the election.

Too bad the majority of Americans are a bunch of sheeple comfortably numbed by consumerism and other distractions to do the same when it happens to them, i.e. 2000.

[AgainstAllGods]

They forgot to include the suspension of TheAmazingAtheist.

[sachaput]

The election was handled badly. The clerics should have called in Kathyn Harris, Jeb Bush and Rove to tell them how to steal an election and get away with it.

[junkforkaryn]

i wish we could borrow these people to protest prop 8.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Americans should be embarrassed that we didn't raise the same kind of hell against bush and the Supreme Court in 2000.

[Taino187]

Too many people are scared of speaking up, scared of a little blood shed (namely theirs), scared of consequences etc.

Freedom isnt FREE, It wont be given to you by your oppressors, You have to take it!

The situation in Iran wont change unless they fight for their freedom, They can protest but protests can be crushed, if theyre not ready to fight when their oppressive clerics try to clamp down on them, they wont accomplish anything.

If they could turn the military to their side they win!

[zndprophet]

But remember also-when the French took their freedom from the monarchs during the French Revolution-and when the Russians took their freedom from the Czars during WW1, in BOTH cases-they had this thing called "The Reign of Terror" where people were encouraged to tell on their neighbors if they had any sentiment for the old way at all, sometimes, it had nothing to do with that-and it was just people trying to get each other in trouble.

Equality is hard. I'm not sure we have it all that bad here

[zndprophet]

Had we seen what the next 8 years were gonna look like, that very well might have happened. I mean, a lot of us knew Bush was gonna be bad, but not enough of us.

In 2000, we were not in any wars. The national deficit was shrinking. The unemployment rate was at 4.2%.

People should have known better, but back then-the worst thing a lot of people could imagine was another immoral liberal cheating on his wife and lying about it.

[tetropods]

YEH IRAN! :D

[tj5555555]

would the US Gov't be able to block or stop broadcasting of such an event should it take place here in 2010 or 2012?

[Sp0ilTheFun]

They are capable but why would they ever have to do that?

[tj5555555]

when people wake to find that thier vote is a sham taking to the street to remove the Mega central Federated Gov't that promised everything but gave only slavery to the working class. The sooner we wake the less severe is the correction. Arrest the Fed. tj

[taoofmichael]

The world wide revolution of THE PEOPLE, THE REGULAR MIDDLE CLASS, HAS BEGUN.

The internet has made it possible for the PEOPLE to unite, and take their governments back, from the SUPER-WEALTHY CORPORATE OLIGARCHIES, supported by FUNDAMENTALIST RELIGION all over the world.

It started here, peacefully, with the rejection of Bush and his corporate ass-licking Republicans. But it will be a slow HOPEFULLY PEACEFUL REVOLUTION.

Workers of THE WORLD - stand with your brothers and sisters in Iran!!

[givebirthathome]

The most important way for us to stand with our brothers and sisters in Iran is to remember the relentless anti-Iranian war propaganda we've been subjected to, and take any "news" that outrages us about the Iranians gov't with a shaker full of salt. The false yellow star story, the patrol boat threatens US ship nonsense, the hysteria over the Englsh marines who were arrested after trespassing into Iranian waters, the claim that Iranians were arming Iraqi militants to attack US soldiers.

[taoofmichael]

I agree with you, that Bush era anti-Iranian propaganda, is just that, propaganda. But I'm curious what you think about the Iranian nuclear program. Do you think they are enriching uranium for peaceful use? Do you support the Akmadinajad(sp?) /religious fundamentalist government?

Just curious what you think about these issues.

[givebirthathome]

Yes, I think they are enriching uranium for peaceful use. The Iranians have had the intent to develop a nuclear energy program for a long time, and why would they want to accept dependence on foreign countries for something so strategically critical as energy production?

The support question is too broad for me to answer. In the context of the challenges of terrorism and attack by Iraq that Iran has faced, the IRI seems to have served their people fairly well in terms of development.

[taoofmichael]

So you do not stand in support of the people in the streets of Tehran today?

I appreciate hearing your perspective. But I do not agree with you.

[givebirthathome]

Whose supporters in the streets would that be? I don't think we should rush to judgement. Recall the huge protests in Venezuela against Chavez--those weren't the folks interested in *the people's* welfare.

If there was tampering, we do not know who did it. I believe the US budgeted at least 50 million dollars to the NED for the destabilization of Iran. I think we've funded outright terrorists too, as we've done before.

Consider history, anarchic Iraq-5 MILLION refugees, 100,000's dead : (

[taoofmichael]

Are you comparing Akmadinajad to Chavez? I must admit, I am predisposed to look with suspicion on any religion-based government. And I think the Iranian people would be better off without the current religious oppression.

I totally agree with you on Iraq, and the hundreds of other US aggressions in our history.

[givebirthathome]

Yes, it is when WWII ended. This was a short list of different things, not the date when the Nazis came to power. Can you remember one of the events near the ending of WWII that caused the surrender of one of our enemies?

[tj5555555]

i support the Iranian people that will allow Isreal to live. Those that hate Isreal are enemies of peace. tj ( i've lived over a year with an Iranian family in Isfahan 1976) salame

[OlivierdeAthos]

Pretty ironic, isn't it? The U.S. has a free press, protected by the constitution, and yet the average Iranian has more accurate information about the USA than the average American does about Iran. It was the same with the USSR.

Some countries have state controlled media. We have "entertainment-controlled" media, where news is selectively reported to give maximum viewership for the sake of selling dishwashing liquid.

[Uwiluz60]

OlivierdeAthos....Well put, one of the best comments I have read on this ! Wish I had wrote it, I fell 100% the same about Our free media !

[zndprophet]

The thing we have to remember, is a lot of REGULAR MIDDLE CLASS and LOW INCOME people SUPPORT this stuff.

A lot of the change WE want SCARES other people. Even people who could benefit from it. ESPECIALLY people who could benefit from it...it's "Socialism" remember? Single payer healthcare-Socialist, Unions-Socialist.

A lot of REGULAR people support corporate feudalism. Don't ask me why, I'm not one of them. A lot of REGULAR people voted for Bush, AND Ahmadinejad.

[Sp0ilTheFun]

What? o.O

I dont think that is ever going to happen....

[voyeurdug]

Always wonder, in situations like this, if the police and armed forces have a different citizenship status than the folks they're disempowering... if not, does it occur to them that they're disempowering themselves?

[clogger3030]

Scary part is you know the U.S. government is watching this and coming up with plans to counter-act similar uprisings if they should ever happen in the states. I'm sure things like controlling Twitter and Youtube have become higher priorities.

[robinvan1983]

getting paranoid?

[zndprophet]

Come on man, you don't think it could be possible that Iran is just less free then America?

As if the riot police here just never thought to beat the shit out of random protesters.

They can't do it, because in America there are more consequences for them if they do shit like the Iranian police are doing.

This should be a lesson to you that you could be in a less free part of the world than you are. None of these police will be on administrative leave-they will be rewarded for their actions

[givebirthathome]

On another vid I made the same comment you made here "as if the riot police here just never thought to beat the shit out of random protestors"...And how soon we forget our tazed great-grandmother, eh?

[zndprophet]

True, cops here are very taze happy. Some cops.

Cops that pay by the rules don't make the news a whole lot though.

And in Iran, that probably would have never made it to the news, in Iran people still get stoned and flogged for things like adultery and being homosexual.

[givebirthathome]

The famous case concerning homosexuals in Iran was about pedophilia and execution was by hanging. The picture of a woman being stoned to death for adultery that I've seen on the internet being pinned on Iran, actually occurred in Pakistan.

Yes, they have different crimes and punishments than we do, but they've also achieved what the UN calls the model VOLUNTARY birth control program in the world, and been recognized for environmental programs. The gov't offers free condoms.

[zndprophet]

Well I know Iran doesn't live in the stone age, I know they are more progressive than Iraq or Afghanistan, that's for sure.

[robinvan1983]

damn iran should learn some lessons from Burma... they have better control of the internet and other media.... they make this look sloppy.... LOL

[WKaliberr]

My aunt is hot as fuck. Seriously.

[Bosco239]

The Obama Effect!

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

The Time to wake up is NOW!!

Our Media didn't even report about Barack Obama Defaulting our Economy!! We're headed to Deflation, this Depression will be WORSE than the

30's!!

[integral]

The time for you to go back to sleep is now.

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

you'll see... Good Luck.

[zndprophet]

You know-you guys are just like the government.

The government always promises us great things will happen-but they never do.

You guys always promise us that horrible, apocalyptic things will happen, but they never do.

We just keep living in a steady stream of mundane bullshit, that goes up a little, and down a little.

I might start to believe you once I stop seeing middle class people buying $8 coffees from the Starbucks near my house while driving gas guzzling SUV's everyday.

[givebirthathome]

Generally I agree about the mundane bullshit, but take for example, 9-11. For the people in that building, it was horrible apocalyptic stuff. Then there was August 6, 1945, the day the Nazis took power in Germany, etc.

[daguy1234]

Um, 1945... Isn't that when WWII ENDED? I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure it is.

[OlivierdeAthos]

Yeah, a little scrambling going on there. Nazis assumed position as Chancellor 1933, Germany was defeated in May 1945, and Hiroshima was bombed on August 6, 1945.

[givebirthathome]

Good thinking, but remember what ended WWII for the Japanese?

[HugeHeroesFan]

A BOMB

[zndprophet]

Well the people on the Air France flight had an apocalyptic moment when their plane went into the ocean. Bad stuff happens sometimes.

[moregravyplease]

Reminds me of the US election in 2000.

[3star2nr]

we didnt stand up as forcefully though. We should hve 5000 americans would be alive right now

[MooseOfReason]

3star2nr, Well, let's take a look at the facts.

Here's Mr. Gore in 2000 talking about using our military to deal with terrorism and "weapons of mass destruction."

Chn1qAn1f3w

Telling Bush he ignored Saddam's ties to terrorists and WMDs:

0h6gehCPvpk

We can conclude that our foreign policy would not have changed.

[notscooter952]

Ehhh... I don't know if it was THAT bad... after all, if you guys thought it was a big deal, GWB wouldn't have got a second term.

[shaven84]

yup, except this is obviously rigged. Even the grand ayatolah knows this is a sham.

[givebirthathome]

Don't forget the US election of 2004. GWB "won" Ohio in the middle of the night, and later, because of a recount paid for by the Greens and Libertarians, corruption was discovered great enough that some people went to jail. Media control is so great here, few even know about it.

The person who ran the election in Ohio, was also Bush's campaign manager in Ohio!

[mutiilation]

yeah i guess

[eros1057]

Whoa, Akhmendinijad fucked up this time. Iranian revolution part Deux!

[shaven84]

you can't supress the people forever.

[delicflower]

damn skippy!

[3star2nr]

exactly Revolution!!!

They should go all the way and overthrow the entire government and setup a new one.

They can do it too, but Im afraid The establishment also has strong supporters, so this could lead to civil war.
