Iranian Government Cuts Off Internet Access Again
AlbionTourgee writes "It is reported that Gmail and Yahoo mail at least have been blocked in Iran, along with many English-language sites. While news of demonstrations seems to be getting out of the country, the government appears to be trying to prevent people within Iran from communicating and from learning what's happening. It remains to be seen whether TOR and Freenets can be effective to combat this sort of effort to block communications, and whether the general circulation of information about the protests around the world will help."
Sadly, no. I was raised Jewish, but I was never let in on this supposed conspiracy.
But you did make my point for me -- to believe Israel is behind this pretty much requires you to believe Jews control everything.
Don't thank God, thank a doctor!
And if Iran was the USA, you'd have a point.
What part of "inalienable rights" is so hard to understand?
It is very interesting that we would choose to talk about the American ideal of "inalienable rights" in reference to our dealings with Iran -- just look into the CIA's involvement in Iran. Overthrowing a popular leader for greedy economic interests? Check. Installing a brutal, tyrannical dictator in his place? Check. I mean, the CIA trained SAVAK, the secret police force responsible for repressing political dissent! The United States government saying ANYTHING about Iran silencing dissent is hypocrisy of the worst kind.
To the haters: You can't win. If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine
you know israel and the US will do anything to take over iran, if the idiots inside keep protesting, it'll be another welcome into their country and then yay, israel will own that one too.. everything is propaganda anyway, so they cut off access to gmail and yahoo, i'd surely like to know their reason but i wouldn't trust a source out of twitter in iran, the israeli controlled media in america will do or say anything to take iran, their consistent complaints about nukes and what not, israel doesn't even have the right to have nukes -- they haven't even signed the nuclear non proliferation act, IRAN has.. iaea has been going in and out of iran if i recall and has found nothing. i think the iranian government should shove it up america and israel's ass by scrapping the nuke project and doing what most sane americans would want is taking advantage of the sun and doing solar... that way it'd take a conspiracy by israel and the US to go to war with them.. kind of like 9/11. no good will and could ever come from war. the mid east is happy enough we took that dictator out of the white house. i was listening to i think the senate minority leader and he was calling russia and iran's regime evil or something! wow! no weapons system will stop anyone from an all out war. second of all, bush's regime was evil, took out a million people oversea's "for the death of 3500 americans." spent hundreds of billions and they say 45k people per year are going to die from lack of insurance, WEE AMERICA! go attack the mid-east while your own people die from being sick, gotta love sarah palin and her dumb-as-shit followers. jesus this is such a rant and run on sentence post! weeeeeeeeeeeee, now i'm an 'anti-semite' because that's all people can say when someone is critical of israel! now, go and be a great patriot and ask for war with iran.. because it's the patriot thing to do!
We had this whole compromise worked out a half-dozen times. We give up some territorial claims, and they let us exist in the remaining areas. This never works because the Arabs always reject it in favor of something that somehow eliminates Israel.
