Pat Buchanan can be a very polarizing figure, staking out positions many consider too radical, too fringe. Even if you disagree with him, Buchanan often has thoughtful, well-written columns. His recent series on the Iranian protests and unrest are especially good:
“Tiananmen Moments“; and
We need to help these people.
They are fighting for their freedom much the same way our forefathers did approximately 225 years ago.
These are little things, but little things add up.
Let’s be a part of bringing down a dictatorship using nothing but Twitter, the color green and proxy servers!
Here is a CRNC blog post suggesting 5 ways you can fight for Iran and Democracy:
With the Iranian protests in their fifth day, the Iranian regime cracking down, and the protesters showing no intention of giving up – now is the time to stand with the Iranian people in solidarity as they strive for freedom.
As a great deal of the resistance online is taking place on the micro-blogging site Twitter, a lot of ways you can help are there. But even you if you’re not on Twitter – you can be active!
Here are five ways you can immediately take action to help the Iranian protesters as they fight for freedom.
1. Follow the latest news from Iran live on Twitter by tracking the hashtags #IranElection and #gr88.
2. Help conceal Iranian activists on Twitter by changing your location to “Tehran, Iran,” your timezone to Tehran (GMT +3:30) and making your bio something related to the protests.
3. Show solidarity with the protesters by changing your Facebook and Twitter profiles to green. Here’s a simple tool to do so.
4. Make a monetary donation to support the efforts of a non-profit actively training and working with the protesters in Iran.
5. For the tech-savvy activist: you can create a proxy server so that Iranian protesters can gain unrestricted access to the Internet. Instructions on how to set one up here.
We should never remain silent when evil makes an appearance.
