Iran: Preparing for what the morning shall bring

Hassan | 20.06.2009 02:57 | World

On Saturday people in Iran will come out again in protest despite the threats issued today by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei . This is the statement of a woman who expects the worse - but hopes for the best

"I will participate in the demonstrations tomorrow. Maybe they will turn violent. Maybe I will be one of the people who is going to get killed. I’m listening to all my favorite music. I even want to dance to a few songs. I always wanted to have very narrow eyebrows. Yes, maybe I will go to the salon before I go tomorrow! There are a few great movie scenes that I also have to see. I should drop by the library, too. It’s worth to read the poems of Forough and Shamloo again. All family pictures have to be reviewed, too. I have to call my friends as well to say goodbye. All I have are two bookshelves which I told my family who should receive them. I’m two units away from getting my bachelors degree but who cares about that. My mind is very chaotic. I wrote these random sentences for the next generation so they know we were not just emotional and under peer pressure. So they know that we did everything we could to create a better future for them. So they know that our ancestors surrendered to Arabs and Mongols but did not surrender to despotism. This note is dedicated to tomorrow’s children…”

First, get your eyeborws narrowed, after all narrow eyebrows are so western.

Second, down to the demo to protest depotism. By supporting a middle-class flunkie to work under the ayatollah.

It's funny how propaganda hasn't evolved much, and strange how people on Indymedia aren't better at seeing through it, given how prevalent it is.
