Look, im not one to use the site for big motivations or for a higher cause… I just want to have some fun and do some jokes, mock pop culture, etc etc. but Ive been getting emails up the ass about the Iranian bloggers.

The BBC says that Iran has begun electronic jamming, such as BBC’s World News and Persian TV channels. Yahoo Messenger has been blocked by Iranian authorities, and the Revolutionary Guard also ordered Iranian websites and blogs to remove any material that might rock the boat after the post-election bullshit.  The Revolutionary guard is Iran’s elite group answering to the “supreme leader” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Iranian government wont let foreign media leave their offices to report on the street protests either.

Facebook and twitter have been HUGE for these guys, and security forces are hunting for these guys using location and timezone searches. So if we all become Iranians, it becomes much harder to find them.

The tech saavy Iranians, which aren’t many, are trying like hell to get videos/articles/pictures uploaded to internet so lets help these guys.

So if you’ve kept reading, heres a simple way to help protect them and help information to keep getting out… and that is…

If you have twitter, or facebook you can change your twitter settings so that your location is Tehran and your time zone is GMT +3.30.

Just go to your settings and BAM… time zone is right there.

The reason to do this is because Security forces are hunting for bloggers using location and timezone searches. If we all become Iranians then its harder to catch the ones getting information out.  Iranians are uploading and getting all the videos and information they can up, even combating the blocking of all the info by authorities.  So help these guys show everyone whats happening and don’t let them get blocked out.
