Comments on: Iranian regime cracks down on internet groups http://www.iranpresswatch.org/post/2290 Documenting the Persecution of the Baha'i Community in Iran Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:45:12 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: sb http://www.iranpresswatch.org/post/2290/comment-page-1#comment-1810 sb Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:14:06 +0000 http://www.iranpresswatch.org/?p=2290#comment-1810 For those of us old enough to remember a world without hyper-connectivity and for those of us who would be lost without it, consider these words of Shoghi Effendi in 1936: “A mechanism of world intercommunication will be devised, embracing the whole planet, freed from national hindrances and restrictions, and functioning with marvelous swiftness and perfect regularity.” My understanding is that Shoghi Effendi made this prediction based upon Writings from The Bab. I refer to this because the internet is for the most part "freed from national hindrances", perhaps to the chagrin of the enemies of freedom. Its phenomenon is exactly like Barmak's description of a glorious tide of boundless freedom, rising with waves of sweeping knowledge.

Now he thinks he can prevent the Ethernet transmissions from crossing in and out of Iran. He just doesn't get it that he can't continue to kill the people of Iran to keep his ship from sinking, without the world finding out about it.

Remember that Khomeini and his co-conspirators had initially poisoned the minds of Iranians trying to preach that the new Islamic Republic would be a totally democratic society with free speech and tolerance. How incredible is this farce that it leaves me absolutley speechless! Irani, I agree with what you say.

There will always be hackers that are one step ahead of the software. I have received phone calls from bankers concerned about identity theft, and this has to do with hackers and my own security. Now opinions may differ, but I am happy banks are doing this so someone doesn’t steal my meager savings. They are doing this for my protection. Now lets turn an about face to how Iran is trying to stifle the freedom of conscience every way it can. It will be human nature for some brave and clever soul to hack away at those controls and get news and views from outside of Iran. And they may stay so far ahead of the government censors that information will filter into Iran despite attempted governmental controls. The world is certainly a lot smaller than it was even a century ago. Diverse news and views travel the world within minutes instead of years, and because of the present nature of worldwide human interaction, it is less possible for insular government policies to possibly succeed.
