...No sleep
No sleep until I´m done with finding the answer
Won´t stop
Won´t stop before I find the cure for this cancer
Sometimes
I feel like I´m going down and so disconnected
Somehow
I know that I´m haunted to be wanted
I´ve been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows
For my time
I´ve been searching
I´ve been living
For tomorrows
All my life
They say
That I must learn to kill before I can feel safe
But I
I´d rather kill myself
Than turn into their slave
Sometimes
I feel like I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow
I just dont want to stay and wait for the wonder
I've been waiting...

US sponsors Anonymiser - if you live in Iran
"A pact between the U.S. government and the electronic privacy company Anonymizer, Inc. is making the Internet a safer place for controversial websites and subversive opinions -- if you're Iranian.
This month Anonymizer began providing Iranians with free access to a Web proxy service designed to circumvent their government's online censorship efforts. In May, government ministers issued a blacklist of 15,000 forbidden "immoral" websites that ISPs in the country must block -- reportedly a mix of adult sites and political news and information outlets. An estimated two million Iranians have Internet access...."

Everyday images of Iran win prestigious prize
"Shirana Shahbazi's humanising and powerful images of Iran won her the prestigious Citigroup private bank photography prize in London last night and £15,000 prize money.
As the youngest shortlisted artist, Shahbazi, 27, originally from Tehran but now based in Zurich, was the surprise winner of the Guardian sponsored prize, which is in its sixth year....
The judges applauded the way Shahbazi confounded the tendency to portray the exoticism of the Middle East, with images of everyday life such as office block construction, and a woman in a chador doing up her son's shoelaces...."
That is a great pleasure that an Iranian girl has won that International Photography prize, her photos seems very simple but incredible! Here is a full article about this prize & here is the gallery of other works.

It might be a bit cruel....but; congratulation!
I know it would be cruel but I must confess that when I heard about killing Hakim, the only feeling I had was happiness. You might say that it's also a kind of terrorism but I can't deny that I love this kind of terrorism!
Perhaps it's not my fault that I get happy by the death of a mullah. Because it's the fault of the ones who are burning my life & there can't be no reform on their work; yeah it's the fault of the ones that have just one way & that is death!
And now I just wanna congratulate Iraqi people who got rid of an insect who was stuck in their country & wanted to bring misery to their country; now it's much easier for them to continue their way of rebuilding their country & making Iraq a better & safer place.

Iran is said to be ready for nuclear talks with UN
"The Iranian foreign minister, Kamal Kharazi, said Thursday that his country had decided to start talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency on inspections of its nuclear sites and was ready to offer "constructive" cooperation, according to a Japanese official.
Kharazi, who arrived in Japan late Wednesday after visiting India and China, delivered a letter from the Iranian president, Muhammad Khatami, to Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.
The visit came just after it was reported that inspectors of the UN agency had found particles of highly enriched uranium at a nuclear facility south of Tehran. The uranium was of a sort that could be used to make nuclear weapons...."

The truths to be disclosed…
It is interesting with someone who has worked for the Information & safety ministry of Islamic republic for years, show the other side of coin & start helping people’s movement & divulge all their lies.... that is what has been happening for a while. I don't know if you have heard about Hamid Reza Zakeri or not, the one who showed truth to the world about some important secrets like relationship of Iran's government with Al Qaeda, everything about Iran's program of mass distraction &... & recently said some facts about the owners of two of Farsi satellite channels in the LA who have entertaining programs & as he says are working for the Iran’s government to mislead the people ...Now there is a real mess in the Persian satellite channels(although it has always been something like a mess). You know, I really admire what Mr. Zakeri is doing, some of people believe that as he has been working for the Iran’s government for years, we can't trust him; but I believe whoever he was & is; now what he is doing is valuable. He’s helping people & showing them the pure true. Actually no one can stand against this regime except the one who has been with them & know all about their nasty tricks.
…Here is the English page of his weblog, that isn't as perfect as the Farsi page & not all revelations are published there, but worth seeing.

Iran's president: Britain should apologize over the arrest of former ambassador“The arrest in London of a former Iranian diplomat wanted for his alleged role in the bombing of a Jewish community center in Argentina will harm Iranian-British ties, Iran's foreign minister was quoted as telling his British counterpart Monday.
Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi made the comment in a phone conversation Sunday with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, Iran's official news agency, IRNA, reported. IRNA quoted Straw as saying talks over the issue would continue.
Also Sunday, President Ali Mohammed Khatami said Britain should apologize and end the detention of the former diplomat Hade Soleimanpour. The British charge d'affaires in Iran was summoned to the Foreign Ministry for the second time in two days. “
As it seems that the easiest & safest work in Iran is being a terrorist…you do & have whatever you want & are even supported by the leaders of a country who kill & arrest people.
It’s a shame to talk or even think about this problem of Iranian diplomat & Khatami’s support. It’s a shame that we live in a country with a regime that directly support the terrorism.

As these days the Iran is becoming a serious international problem & we are in the limelight of the world’s attention, I feel that everything inside Iran is frozen specially the time that seems not to pass!
Anyway, I’m not also as hopeful as I used to be & have somehow get used to this way; I know it’s not very nice but by what is happening & so many unpleasant things around you, no enthusiasm can be left.
But we just should believe in miracle, that’s the only thing that can help us; someday that no one except it will happen suddenly; or perhaps we make it ourselves…

Iran will never give up nuclear technology: supreme leader
"Iran's supreme leader has said his country will never give up its nuclear technology under pressure from the United States and others, who are urging Tehran to agree to more stringent inspections of its programs.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a gathering of Iranian ambassadors late Monday that "the position of the United States and certain Western countries, which require Iran to give up nuclear technology is unsuitable, unjust and oppressive, and the Islamic Republic of Iran will never accept these requests."
"The conditions in which the United States deals with the rest of the world as a creditor, always asking for more, make any weakness and surrender the greatest strategic error," the state news agency IRNA reported him as saying.
."Iranian nuclear science is indigenous and peaceful, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on religious principles, will never use weapons of mass destruction," Khamenei added...."
Oh, he sounds brave...but there's just a little difference between bravery & foolishness! I don't know what do they have that make them speak with such a great power & confident...religious principles, what have been the most important causes of our misery through all these years.

Iran to Draw Up Contracts for 2nd Nuclear Reactor
"TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has given the nod to a larger scale nuclear program and has ordered contracts drawn up to build a second nuclear reactor, Iran's official news agency IRNA said on Thursday.
Despite international concerns that Tehran may be building an atomic bomb, Iran's Supreme Nuclear Energy Council ordered contracts written up for a second 1,000 MW nuclear reactor at the southern port of Bushehr where Russia is helping Iran build its first nuclear power station, IRNA said.
The council also ordered suitable sites be studied for the construction of further reactors to generate an extra 5,000 MW from nuclear power...."

Iran rejects UN women's right deal
"Tehran — A hardline Iranian religious body has refused to sign on to an international agreement on women's rights because it contradicts Islamic law, a spokesman for said Wednesday.
The unelected Guardian Council, which must approve all legislation before it becomes law, rejected a parliamentary bill on Tuesday that proposed signing the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
"The bill was rejected because several articles of this convention are contrary to the holy Shariah law and the constitution," Guardian Council spokesman Ebrahim Azizi told Iranian TV on Wednesday...."
From the firs time I heard about this convention I knew that’s impossible in Iran & something like a miracle is needed! That even sounds funny; Islam & no different between men & women!!!! Supporting women & their rights!!! Wow, that might even be a great sin!!!!
This is clear that as long as we are forced to stand Islamic republic in our country & during the reign of Mullahs; we must forget about a better situation for women.

Back again after another break, somehow a constrained one. Besides I was busy & didn't have much time, my computer also had found a problem; it was a kind of virus & then I understood that many others have the same problem & so...but finally, the essential problem was something wrong with my motivations!
Anyways, I've dramatically cut off the time I spend online & in front of computer. And that is like a very important & great event in my life! For someone like me who used to spend all night web surfing & that has become like a kind of addiction; this way of forgetting all about this cyber world isn't very simple! You know, as I've said, I've made many changes to the way I think , so I can make new decisions...I understood that in the past years I used different things to escape from the reality & now I feel tired of any kind of escaping, in the end we have to live in the reality...oh; enough! But please don't ask what they all have to do with each other, because I don't know myself!

Make Iran next, says Ayatollah's grandson
"Sayyid Hussein Khomeini is sitting cross-legged on a sofa inside a garish palm-fringed mansion nestled on the banks of the Tigris. It is the very heart of American-occupied Baghdad, not the first place that you might look for the grandson of Ayatollah Khomeini. The late Iranian leader built his Islamic revolution on a deep hatred of everything associated with the Stars and Stripes.
But then very little about the younger Khomeini is quite what might be expected.
'American liberty and freedom is the best freedom in the world,' he said, puffing on a cigarette and sipping a glass of sweet tea. 'The freedom for the individual that is written into the American Constitution you do not see in such concentration in any other constitution in the world. The Americans are here in Iraq, so freedom is here too.'...."

Iran: Nuke Program Homemade and Peaceful
"TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran denied on Thursday that nuclear scientists from Pakistan, North Korea and other countries had helped its atomic program and reiterated that its nuclear aims were confined to civilian purposes...."
...Oh good! so everything's ok at the time, I wish they had said it sooner & make all the world certain of this peaceful nuke program...oh I just remember that they had mentioned it before, so it's all others' fault who don't pay enough attention to the news!!!!!!....
I don't know, perhaps that's pretty normal & is the way that it has to be, but this way makes me crazy; all articles are just repeating & as nothing new happens you read repeated news again & again...some of them commit & the others deny! And the truth is always undercover for me & you…

...The bigger half of summer has passed & now the count down to the end of these holidays has been started! These days will always remain as the most important & special ones in my life ....& change! That’s what I can clearly feel through these strange days that are no longer boring & as same as others! I'm proud of myself, I finally could refresh my mind & now I'm free to think however I want & enjoy this change!
That might be temporary but still I don't wanna lose this feeling; the feeling of being free just behind hundred doors & in a world that has become a prison!
No matter what they do or say, I don't give a damn to the any of them & their hateful tries at making me captivated by their old stories, I'm a free girl, free of all those bothering thoughts & confusions; & also all those stuffy cages...

Mortazavi: 'Iran media have highest degree of freedom'
"TEHRAN, Aug 9 (AFP) - Tehran's chief prosecutor Said Mortazavi insisted Saturday that the media in Iran have the "highest degree of freedom", matched by only a few Western states, during a visit to the student news agency ISNA.
"Thanks to the Islamic revolution and the country's constitution, the Iranian press and media enjoy the highest degree of freedom, matched by only a few Western countries," he said.
"In other words, the freedom of the Iranian press can not be compared with those in neighboring countries and the Middle East," he added...."
It's really funny when you hear such a thing from someone who is accused for the murder of a journalist & in a day that all Iranian journalists decided not to write a word to show their dissatisfaction of the lack of security & support.
Anyway I think they are two possibilities that make Mortazavi (one of the biggest killers of all the times) speak like that. It can be his great confidence to himself & this regime; otherwise for sure there must be some serious mental problems!

Iran Closes In on Ability to Build a Nuclear Bomb
"VIENNA — After more than a decade of working behind layers of front companies and in hidden laboratories, Iran appears to be in the late stages of developing the capacity to build a nuclear bomb...."
I'm thinking of a day that they build the nuclear bomb & just wanna imagine where can be their first target! Actually when I think of mullahs & things that we've seen through these years of their foolish actions, I get more & more concerned & believe that they must be stopped.
Anyway, It's such a complicated situation that I'm not sure that even the first player of this game can understand what is happening! But that's clear that if Iran get nuclear weapons or not, that won't make any change to the last decision of US...

What do you think of president Khatami?
-He gets the job done satisfactorily
-He needs to resign
-He does what he can within his limits
-He does a great job
......
The last survey of FreeMyIran site; still not many people have voted, but I think the final results might be interesting...my choice was the second one, which one is yours?!!!
I felt bad that he said nothing about resign on his Sunday speech, I'm wondering how he couldn't see enthusiasm & also encouragement of people & journalists for his own suggestion of resigning!

Khomeini grandson blasts "dictatorship" in Iran
"DUBAI, Aug 4 (AFP) - A grandson of Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who is currently in Iraq, has denounced the religious "dictatorship" ruling Iran, a newspaper reported Monday.
Iran "needs a democratic regime which does not use religion as a means to oppress people and stifle society", the Saudi-owned pan-Arab daily Asharq Al-Awsat quoted Hossein Khomeini as saying from an unspecified location in Iraq...."
It sounds good when you see people from the leaders’ family or some of the ones who used to have power in different fields, start getting out of this fucking game & start opposing regime little by little…

Iraq: New Attacks Against U.S. Soldiers Reported
"Baghdad, 4 August 2003 (RFE/RL) -- Reports say U.S. troops in Iraq sustained new attacks today, with casualties reported in Baghdad.
A U.S. army spokesman, Sergeant Marc Ingham, confirmed that unknown assailants threw an improvised exploding device on an army convoy near the Baghdad airport, wounding two soldiers. But he could not confirm that another attack on the Baghdad police headquarters had left three soldiers and their Iraqi translator injured....."
The problem of Iraq now after death of Saddam's son seems like a dramatic story for me that although is going to be forgotten but still hasn't finished. With so many different kinds of news about what is happening inside Iran & how satisfied people are about their present situation I have no idea if things are going well or not; but all in all I don't call what Iraqis have at the time, Freedom!
I don't know what can be the best wish for Iraqis! Of course the best can be a real democracy but the way to that sweet word is really unclear. Anyway, forgetting about Iraqis' wisdom & beliefs & if what they're making a mistake or not; but for sure bringing democrasy without their own desire can't be done...

Cold days of summer…
These days things inside Iran seem calm & it sounds like everything’s ok & people are normally spending summer days that were supposed to be days of fighting for freedom. But now there is no kind of strike or movement & there are more battles in the international relation of Iran.
You know, I really have no idea what is going on or what will happen, I'm just thinking of my optimistic wishes about this summer & now I see all were like sweet dreams & now there is no voice left to shout.
I'm thinking of things that have happened recently & feel that how easily we forgot them. They’re always easily forgotten, the death of Zahra kazemi; arrest of students; censorship on some websites & a thousand other fucking events that happens in this country & with a strange magic become invisible for people...or perhaps the magic makes people blind, not the events invisible!
I don't know; others told me before that it's just a childish feelings, don't be fooled easily by you're excitement; It's still mullahs' reign & we are just wasting our life...they told me Iranians are more frustrated to wake up; I don't know, perhaps they were right!
