A lot of people are giving advice to the struggling Iranian populist on Twitter on how to deal with the Security Forces. Any ideas?

Greetings! It would really give the populist a tremendous uplift if they were to know that the majority of Americans are praising their hard work and their sacrifice. If I could, I would praise their bravery and let them know they are morally supported.
Beyond that, there is nothing more we can do for them without putting America deep into harm’s way.

Read Patrick Henry, Give me Liberty or Give me Death. Freedom is a cause worth dying for. As America has proved over and over again. We even had 360,0000 Whites die fighting to FREE the Black slaves. And they did not even ask to be free. Or fight to free themselves. Or erect ANY memorial to the WHITES that died to free them.

Well, when one of the corrupt mullahcracy ( the ones that say that a phony vote is supported by God) appears everyone could just silently turn their backs on them. Passive resistance works…there are many ways to do it. Start wearing green chadors, green hijabs etc., write in green ink.
Set up a system of runners to communicate when they turn off the phones–in Burma, the tecno geeks would find the windows when the system had to turn the technology back on and they would use it for their own purposes. Always change locations, start covering your faces because they will get hip and try to identify leaders or bolder people and take them out. Everyone Wear the same clothes and have a second pair underneath so you can take the top pair off and blend in to a crowd if you need to after doing an action. Put nails down for the motorcycle cops or stretch ropes across the street when they come by. Start taking pictures of the men beating your friends and tell them that the people’s justice will hold them responsible at some point–hide the film in safe places. Know that the youth of the world support you!
Use humor. Start telling jokes about the hypocrite==nothing bothers a religious fanatic/hypocrite worse than if people laugh at their foolishness. Be bold,
be free.
