Calling all anonymous, the Syrian revolution needs your help. After our president's cold blooded disrespectful speech yesterday, the revolution crossed the point of turning back. On Friday, April's fool's day, a country-wide protest in honor of our revolution's martyrs is planned, I repeat, with one finger snap, the government can cut down our telecommunication and internet. We need expertise from those who have already been there... Egyptians? Tunisians? Smart Chinese network experts? Don't leave us hanging, anon, again, it's an official miracle that we've come this far against the most oppressive state in the Arab world, don't let this end here, don't let us be forgotten and laughed at by a filthy rich, bloody handed president.

Thank you
I really want to help you guys and stand by your side. however. Peacefull protesting does not include lighting other people's property on fire. Even if they are the enemy.
You're right, but btw no other properties were injured that night other than the picture of the president, jus sayin'
That's a pretty bad excuse mate. You cannot win "our" hearts and minds by being shown on the media as violent assholes.
To play devil's advocate here for a second, let's remember that peaceful protesting is something we can do because we live in the comfort of western 'democracy' where our governments and their armed forces are not using excessive force against us, and our point of view being taken seriously depends on us demonstrating in a restrained and civilised manner. And that's exactly how it should be. But there are places in the world where the citizens are forced into having no recourse except to arm themselves against tyrannical regimes to fight in defence of their lives and freedoms. - I AM NOT ADVOCATING VIOLENCE IN ANY FORM - But I am saying that we should try to understand the situation that some of the peoples of the world are finding themselves in, and that the options available to them to preserve their very lives may be extremely limited.
so basically.... burning a poster and trying to bring down a statue of a tyrant is violent "assholeness", even after having had friends and family kidnapped, imprisoned without trial, tortured, killed and go missing for half a century whilst remaining perfectly peaceful... I'm afraid you're missing the point here, having a few people burn a picture of the president is far from being enough to call a whole revolution and millions of yes, peaceful protesters, violent assholes. If you knew our regime any better you'd know they can make any of their secret agents do the violence, at gunpoint, so that they can frame the public, and i'm not talking about burning a silly poster here, i'm talking about life-threateningly dangerous violence. Also, those pro-regime marches were forced, haven't you seen the scans of the official ordinance to all municipalities of all syria's cities, towns and villages ordering all state employees to march? Do you know what awaits someone who gets caught escaping those marches? Not just losing a job, or getting imprisoned, because once you're in jail in syria there is no telling what happens next to you because we live under emergency laws. Ask about the underaged blogger who's been missing since 2009, in fact... ask about Syria.
What I'm trying to say here, is that some people have burnt pictures of the president, and tried to bring down statues of the former president. So yeah, that's the violence of the Syrian revolution. Let's call those bunch violent assholes, whom I'm personally very proud of, but let's not forget a whole huge revolution of peaceful protesters out there... I don't think those have earnt the "violent asshole" title. The intelligence can frame them later though so no worries.
Wait, did you think the armed ones are the protesters? Those are the Syrian secret service alongside armed forces shooting at the unarmed protesters. Syrian civilians can't really arm themselves, not without the secret service's permission. The Syrian protesters are unarmed, peaceful & non-violent protesters.
lol I still can't believe you thought the revolutionists are armed and violent, does everyone you know think it's that way too?
Chill the fuck out, take a deep breath and re-read my post. Have a dictionary handy in case there's any words you don't understand. Mull it over in your mind, read it again if you need to; then and only then, post. If that still isn't enough for you, let me spell it out as simply as I can; I'm pointing out how, as much as we'd love all protests to go peacefully, some people in the world have no choice but to participate in physical defence of themselves. I was trying to help you out here. I haven't watched your videos, and with the attitude you're displaying here, I don't feel particularly inclined to. Way to miss my point spectacularly.
^^^ Since we've had our share of butthurt in this thread that anon might actually be right. We do all support the iranian people. The use of more mainstream images might get us the larger support from all corners of the interwebz
lolololololmao no u don't btw, i guess it's normal to make such a mistake with the Syrian regime being Iran's pushover.
I reckon we need ones with banners in english then eh? something like this maybe? http://i56.tinypic.com/16956w6.jpg still looking
okay what do you think of this for imageboards? http://i51.tinypic.com/fvwn7q.jpg does anyone have any suggestions of what else can be done? thanks
here's a video where the protesters are yelling "What a shame, what a shame, peaceful (protests) shot at with fire" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lXMvF2D20g&feature=player_embedded photos of protests: http://i53.tinypic.com/2mxhh1x.png http://i56.tinypic.com/vfcj8n.jpg http://tinypic.com/r/67uud0/7 This video might not be of good quality, but the reason it's very interesting to Syrians is that this is an old, central street in Lattakia, the president's hometown. Brothers, uncles and cousins of the president used to walk into coffee shops here and open fire on people for no reason, the former president's brother stabbed a child in public and let him bleed till death for absolutely no reason, these are only examples... This city has lived under the mercy of the regime's psycho brats for half a century now, this is what makes this so phenomenal, this is why it's hard for me to even believe what happened in Tunis in Egypt, and why I don't know how to describe what's going on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGjvcMBwhGo&NR=1

The face of a child protesting is perfect. Use it. Also women protesting. Taking some vids and edit them together while including music that tugs on the heartstrings. Here's an example from the Egypt revolution (and btw was the vid that got me involved after I watched it): A Bahraini even used the same song for his vid: And this vid, using the exact same song ironically, showed me (who's normaly a noninterventionists) the need to support an NFZ in Libya: There's other videos with other songs, but for some reason that particular song keeps getting used.
https://www.torproject.org/ http://www.hidemyass.com/ http://openvpn.net/ also, let Access Now know what's up: https://www.accessnow.org/ If they shut off the Internet completely, like they did in Egypt and Libya, go low tech (two-way radios, ham radios, etc.) Also, Telecomix is your friend: http://www.telecomix.org/
This is going to be a bloodbath, the likes of which even Gaddafi would not even contemplate. Assad is not going to let this end well.
What about those anarchist hacktivists that did stuff for the Tunisians and Egyptians? What do y'all think of that?
To express support for illegal activities is verboten on this board, so you're not going to get a candid discussion of that here... but the internet is a big place. Perfect. Drill down, Anonymous is diverse and uses many different types of platforms for communication on the webz most of which are findable by searching. DON'T assume that wwp is the only place you can go for advice/assistance.
Spread the news of the Syrian revolution in Iran. Word is Iran has been broadcasting news of every other revolution but the Syrian one.
what do you think can be done from the outside, online or offline, to "help" as effectively as possible (if that can have any meaning in such a context)? any suggestions appreciated.
After weeks of yelling "peaceful, peaceful" the protesters are now waving flowers... one can only hope the secret police gets the message at some point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIoBbTaYxI0&feature=player_embedded#at=218
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=3CEA28E06A1A889C This is a YouTube channel trying to collect all the videos from Syrian demonstrations. The media is still blocked heavily and International TV channels are relying solely on amateur YouTube clips filmed by the demonstrators themselves, mostly from mobile phone cameras. This is all that Syria has to show the world what is happening.
Can anyone link me somewhere to go and spread the info on what's going on in Syria? I need some active websites, and I need to find where the rest of the people who care lurk. I get a feeling I haven't been able to look in the right places yet, and I don't know what to google any more... Thanks a lot
I think I might go on an unplanned one-person demo here tomorrow. I figure I'll go and make a little demonstration banner, and maybe ask the police for permission to demonstrate. Though to be quite honest what I really want to have a real demonstration here on Sunday, but I don't know how to organize it. I looked that up, and got people saying it's too much of a responsibility to organize it alone... What can one do? thankies
