Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Watch: Iran President Joins the Blogosphere
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran has started his own blog. It is in Farsi but there is an English section by clicking on the American Flag:
autobiography 2006/8/11 In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most CompassionateOh Almighty God, please, we beg you to send us our Guardian- who You have promised us- soon and appoint us as His close companions.During the era that nobility was a prestige and living in a city was perfection, I was born in a poor family in a remote village of Garmsar-approximately 90 kilometer east of Tehran. I was born fifteen years after Iran was invaded by foreign forces- in August of 1940- and the time that another puppet, named mohammad Reza – the son of Reza Mirpange- was set as a monarch in Iran. Since the extinct shah -Mohammad Reza- was supposed to take and enter Iran into western civilization slavishly, so many schemes were implemented that Iran becomes another market for the western ceremonial goods without any progress in the scientific field. Our Islamic culture would not allow such an infestation, and this was an impediment in front of shah and his foreign masters’ way. Thus, they decided to make this noble and tenacious culture weak gradually that Iran be attached strongly to the west as far as its economy, politics, and culture was concern. After the implementation of this policy and the unreal and outward of upswing, the villagers began to rush to the cities. Upon the enforcement of the land reform, the status of the villages became worst than the past and villagers for earning some breadcrumbs, they were deceived by the dazzling look and the misleading features of the cities and became suburban and lived in ghettos.
My family was also suffered in the village as others. After my birth -the fourth one in the family- my family was under more pressuresThe blog even has RSS feeds.
Reuters: Iranian president lambasts US on new blogÂ
Iran’s president has launched a Web log, using his first entry to recount his poor upbringing and ask visitors to the site if they think the United States and Israel want to start a new world war.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose speeches are riddled with anti-U.S. rhetoric, also described how he was angered by American meddling in Iran even when he was at elementary school.
Analyst Saeed Laylaz said the site — available in Persian, Arabic, English and French at www.ahmadinejad.ir — may be seeking to win support from abroad.
“Do you think that the U.S. and Israeli intention and goal by attacking Lebanon is pulling the trigger for another world war?” the president asks visitors to the site, offering them the choice to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
Iran has shown the ultimate in Western media cycle manipulation. First, it was Mike Wallace and now the blogosphere.
Hey, President Ahmadinejad how about enabling comments and trackbacks?
Stay tuned…….
More from Captain Ed and Allah……

Glenn Greenwald Watch: The Sock Puppet Story Part 2
Patterico: Annotated WuzzaDem: The Facts Behind the Greenwald Sock-Puppetry
This post sets out the evidence suggesting that Glenn Greenwald has engaged in sock-puppetry. With the permission of John from WuzzaDem, I will be relying heavily on the WuzzaDem sock puppets. Consider it an annotated version of John’s recent Insta-linked post.
Why this post? Because it ties it all together in a way that I haven’t seen before. And it’s another chance to see the WuzzaDem puppets again.
Keep in mind that sock-puppetry is, as Instapundit says, a “venial sin†(as opposed to a mortal sin). Yes, there is an element of dishonesty to it. But really, it’s mostly goofy and laughable — which is why the puppets are on hand to help me make the point.
And, so, why is this exercise in exposing Glenn Greenwald as a dishonest lefty douche bag and sock puppet important?
Just as with Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times – it is about HONESTY.
The traffic figures, the notariety and even the revenue from writing books makes NO difference if you cannot be EVEN HONEST to yourself.
Prancing around the internet, posing as others – the sock puppets – to inflate your OWN narcissistic reputation and self-worth shows to the world the weakness of your character and the shortage of genuineness of your arguments. Most folks and not of Flap’s generation would say this Greenwald fellow needs to “GET A LIFE!”
This life and lie stuff is without a doubt…..
