Iranian Government Cuts Off Internet Access Again 374
AlbionTourgee writes "It is reported that Gmail and Yahoo mail at least have been blocked in Iran, along with many English-language sites. While news of demonstrations seems to be getting out of the country, the government appears to be trying to prevent people within Iran from communicating and from learning what's happening. It remains to be seen whether TOR and Freenets can be effective to combat this sort of effort to block communications, and whether the general circulation of information about the protests around the world will help."

If I was Christ I wouldn't leave the house either. Sweet Beelzebub just look at what has gone down in the name of Christ in the past millennium.

Sadly, no. I was raised Jewish, but I was never let in on this supposed conspiracy.
You just need to write to Chief Bloomenbergansteinenthal of the Jewish Justice League in NYC. That or make aliyah to Israel. Everyone here just gets welfare checks from the proceeds of the Zionist media conspiracy (remember, it's "Zionist" now instead of "Jewish") to make a living! After all, what else can be done with nothing powering the economy but agriculture, tourism, and hi-tech?

This guy has an excellent point. The documentary film "Disney's Aladdin" demonstrated that Arab or Persian society is full of hot unwed princesses, playful scamp monkeys and personable genies and their madcap hijinks. Their society is so free that even a lowly homeless thief can become a prince of an entire country if he just trys hard enough. "Disneys Aladdin" did an excellent job of showing just how open and progressive Arab society is. Based on what I learned from "Aladdin" I would move there in a minute. I would not however, keep one of their parrots. Ugh!, their vocalizations are terrible.
