Musings of a former chicken

Irony is that is exactly what you are doing here

engaging in cyber polemics. 

Let me know you go to Iran and take some action. As for your other nonsense about cranes not being used for executing political prisoners:

Mr. Fozolie

The Actions: They Matter!

Who is shedding tears for who? Who is endorsing what? Who is bad mouthing who? Who is thinking what? Who this & what that? Is that what we are all about as Iranians? Shame, Shame, Shame! Let's prove any of the accuations by the crowd below, before hanging anyone from the cyber field crane or placing him/her in front of the cyber space fire squad! Actions are what matters and not just staying @ home out of 'the fear' & not gathering in front of the Evin Prison to burn it down once for all!

PS: Khomeini knew well about his fellow Iranians mentalities when he asked them just to say a 'BAH' or a 'NAH' like the lambs to his call for the regime change! Did not he???

Shedding Crocodile Tears For Iranians!

I wonder which Iranians IR agents are talking about! As I wrote below their only concern is their paychecks at the end of the month. By taking to the streets of major cities of Iran in millions, Iranians have shown what they think about IR. They don't believe in crocodile tears shed by those who make fun of their loved ones being killed by IR criminals.

Tavana

You have some points here but I would like to say that I personally prefer to spend my time in Tavern drinking and minding my own business rather than being sober and kill people in the name of God and worse than that standing there and watch.    

What these people are doing can not be justified at all.  

Silence of the Lambs!

A quote from Auntie Fred: "too many sane world based companies which sell and service these cranes of death." Now, is not it true that middle eastern people including Iranians have been silenced by their corrupt Kings/Leaders/Shahs/Sheikhs/Etc. for ages & been butchered like lambs upon their protests as their wealth & natural resources have been plundered by the 'sane world' & their associated 'corporate entities.' Now that the pepole are slowly showing some awareness/resistance & are standing up for the control of their own affairs, those wolfens are changing their outfits suddenly & turning to 'caring shepherds' by not selling their hanging tools, for instance, in order to make more profits later as the storm is calm down.

No need to mention that IRI does not hang its political prisoners on top of the cranes. Only the common criminals are hung to create more fear in the pepole' hearts of the regime & to eradicate street crimes. Unfortunately, the root causes are within the system & within the people themselves. Perhaps the government could bring 'root bears' instead of 'crude oil' @ everybody's table to cure our social diseases once for all from their 'roots!'

The real progress happens from inside out & not from outside in. 

Roozbeh jan: A clarification

By 'communist' I mean the Soviet State centralised oppressive system like we witnessed in Russia and Ceauşescu's Romania. Not, of course, the decent socialists such as the Rochdale Pioneers- the true meaning of Marxism.  

Responses

• Rea: You are right. It is very bad that all the worry is about the made up nuclear threat. No one gives a damn about Iranian people. All they worry about ia a non existing threat to Israel.
• Hanging: Was also a part of culture in the USA. Lynching of blacks was very common. In the not so old days "Wild West" people got hanged for stealing horses. So if USA got over it Iran will also.

By the way please look up "Lynch Mob"; an American invention.

RG

What is unfortunate in the "Iranian story" is that the issue of basic humain rights is often overlooked in mainstream media in favour of the presumed Iranian nuclear threat. 

With so much anti-IRI propaganda, people like me get confused not knowing whether it's just another Western fabricated piece drumming support for attacking "nuclear" Iran (am strongly opposed), or it's real.  

To conclude, as much as the 2 videos are deeply disturbing, they are eye openers at the same time. Will share.

Hanging in Iran - part of culture

Re: This is called Terror hitherto unseen by humanity.....

And this was what Jimmy Carter the Nobel Prize winner. The "humanitarian" great wise one gave to Iran. Not once has that man condemned acts of IRI and never will. 

iran "fans" Fred and Simorgh

ya right!

U care 4 iranians!

we never ask U for support? stick to Ur own zionist problem!

Re: Communist

I agree with RG.

 There is nothing inherently evil about being a communist. They have lofty goals that just happen to not work :-) Because of human nature not being selfless; in fact being very much selfish!  But I don't think a communist would want to see people killed. No more than anyone; it just happens that Soviets gave communist a bad name. Chinese version of "communism" is like calling chelo kabab "vegetarian". 

"The pleasure of killing Iranians"

And how long does it take to kill a nation by airtight sanctions and  foreign striking forces, my caring dear friend?

The pleasure of killing Iranians

For those who care,

No matter what country does it, execution is a state sponsored murder, a barbaric act without any redeeming value.

What is particularly savage about the way the Islamist Rapists’ preferred method of murdering Iranian men and woman, has to do with the longer time it takes for the Iranians to die.

In a regular execution by hanging, the sudden drop through a trapdoor the victim’s neck is broken and his larynx is crushed instantly, resulting in almost instantaneous death.

The Islamist Rapists’ preferred method of slowly hoisting the Iranians up with a crane results in slow suffocation. Therefore, it takes much longer time for the Iranians to die and allowing the Islamist Rapists to savor the moment longer. 

Rea: This is called Terror hitherto unseen by humanity.....

Prisoners are always told that any public protestation at time of execution would lead to reprisals of highest severity (torture, rape and execution....) against their loved ones.

Now, you might start understandingt the deep rooted hatred of Iranians for this barbaric entity, the "islamist republic".

Other thing you can be sure about is that when this regime is overthrown, the luckiest end for the regime leadership and it's active supporters would be a nice cute court room in Holland, .....

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

There are always tools for executioners

Cranes or no cranes won't change much. But there is one good thing about that campaign: raising of public awareness internationally.

The videos provided by Simorgh and Truthseeker are absolutely shocking. Can't understand people letting themselves be hanged without uttering a single word of protest, or a scream. Are they drugged or what ?

Can't understand people watching it and doing nothing, either.

@ simorgh: "communists like......."

Sorry if I missed any intended dark humour in your comment. But please Don't fall for this pathetic online campaign of deceipt, misnformation  and division amongst Iranian people. No decent human being, let alone a"communist", , would mock and laugh at this blog. No communist, I repeat, no communist would find the murder of tens of thousands of her comrades using machines intended for building houses, hospitals, schools and factories, a matter for joke and laughter....

Again, if it talks like one, if it smells like one, it must be one :)

And thank you fred, for this very timely blog, on yet another anniversary of the mass murder of the iranian political prisoners (Mojahedin and communists) by the Fascist islamist regime in 1989....

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

Simorgh, you cracked me up calling Pendar a communist

thanks, I needed the laugh. Pendar neek being a communist. LOL.

Simorgh and GR

I hope this Cranes Campaign leads to something positive. 

you're right with regards to standing on a bus and the car driving off - this is a shorter drop so the person is tormented for several minutes before losing conciousness. Due to its brutality this technique has been outlawed in countries with legalized hanging so I was surprised to see it being used this year. 

Of Cranes & Paychecks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, please. Even without cranes IR will be able to kill Iranians. Also without cranes IR will be able to build bunkers. BUT without cranes IR may not be able to pay its agents. You may ask how these two are related. It's simple. With most banks not dealing with IR banks it has become harder for IR to pay its agents abroad. Also in order to render these payments more discreet, bank transactions are not desirable an option. Setting up firms  and exporting all sorts of commodities to Iran, either directly or through a third country, has been a good way to get compensated without arousing suspicion. So, any time export of a certain item to IR is banned, IR agents go nuts!

Truth Seeker

But nothing is more effective than a crane at pulling the body into the air and cracking their necks. The IR Terror Regime is determined that everyone gets a good look! 

If Buses will be used as substitutes to cranes then you put a bocott on buses, parts for curs or any object which can be used for executions.

Even if it is a potato chip which dices of the victim's head.  

Recent public executions via standing on bus

Cranes are highlighted because of their prominent use as gallows for public executions. But only this year Iran has executed by hanging from a bridge - they will not stop their barbarity if cranes go. Just see this video.

The issue is executions not using cranes. There are an infinite number of ways to publicly hang someone. The could use street lights; hang them off "Shahyad" building. Or a million different ways.

True, then you put sanctions to ensure there are no street lights, no wooden polls or even toilet paper if it can be proved that it isued to hang people with instead of rope. 

Oil embargo first.

Sanctions.

Military strike.

 In that order........

Is this

a kind of a joke or what? No crane? So they build an old style wooden pol and stick people's head on it. Not like it never happened before. Let us stop being silly and get to the point.

Why are we being so silly. While there is an IRI there will be public executions. The final ones will be that of IRI officials themselves. Once that is done the executions will be finished. Thank you all "freedom" loving people who overthrew the Shah.

Crane executions

When you have Communists like Pendare Nik who is opossed to nationalism and contends that Neda Agha Soltan's death is an accident it is small wonder that the topic of executions is funny. So long as the victim is not Palestinians or killed by an Israeli bullzoder.

Stopping the export of cranes to Iran will not stop the IR Terrorist regime from executing people but it will make public executions more difficult to implement. The crane has been the apparatus of choice to hoist the victim in plain view of everyone so that her/his final moments grappling and twitching around the noose can be witnessed by everyone including small children who will later be traumatised  or brutalised by the event. 

For those distrubed individuals who find this subject humerous I have left the following video link for you to view with my compliments. 

//www.liveleak.com/view?i=2a0_1185106657

The banning of cranes may not stop the Islamic Republic to find new and more ingenious ways of murdering people, that's what it has been doing for 33 years, but it does give small comfort to the families of victims whose lives has been devestated by this evil regime.

A boycott will also send a strong message of defiance against the regime and the regime will be taught a lesson that each and every object it used to kill an innocent person whether it be a crane or a spoon to eat cornflakes with will be taken away. 

Since people here find crane executions of fellow himan beings (except Palestinians) funny here is a pciture of an elephant being executed in the same way;

Maybe the murder of an animal on a crane will play on your heart strings (if youhave one) and prompt you to do something about it.

واقعاً که چه اقدام انساندوستانه ای

و چه خدمتی به بشریت و بسط عدالت دوستی که حالا این شرکتها جراثقیل هم به ایران نمی فروشن. کَدوس به فلان ننۀ همشون همونطور که آقا فِرِد گفت.

The 'Catch' Hints!

1. Short of Subject? 2. Go to IC's News Section. 3. Aha, the buddy 'C-Morgh' is there! 4. Craney Executions? 4. WOW! 5. Damn with Crane! 5. Here Goes NO 2 Blog!

LIFE is no laughing matter. The IDIOCY is, sometimes though.

Condolences 

Got You!

I still can't laugh, though. But seriously, Fred, how do you think Egyptians built the pyramids? Did they have cranes? But then, why should anyone write a blog on something so obvious? I think there must be a catch here, Fred, I just can't figure it out.

Fred:

Admit it, you don't really know what you're talking about when it comes to killing. I couldn't laugh, but I just thought you knew so little about lynching and mass murders that you assumed cranes were the most essential part of these crimes. Do you seriously think there won't be any hanging without the cranes?Before writing this blog you should've consulted one of those IR experts well-versed in all methods of killing.
