New forum to help Iranian people:

OTPOR is a tool they could use to achieve freedom in no time flat...

OTPOR (Resistance) was a decentralized, WELL-organized and very 1999-tech-savvy Serbian movement that literally laughed Slobodan Milosevic out of office. And tons of fun.

They did it all with marketing. Yup. Marketing.

What they did was to strip leadership of its legitimacy in the eyes of the people by using humor, irony, ridicule and of course, technological superiority.

Here is the OTPOR user's guide (95 pages, illustrated):

Here are some steps Iranians can take immediately, but seriously, read that manual.

1. Stop being adversarial toward the police. Give them tea or a cigarette. Chat them up as circumstances allow. Get them to break rank. Get them to come over to your side.

2. Marketing, marketing, marketing... one color, green = good. They need a symbol. One symbol. Tag & sticker it everywhere. Get young children and grandma to wear it.

3. Constant low-level pressure, disruption, refusal & resistance. Keep it decentralized. For example, you know 14 others who each know 14 others. Use your manual to train volunteers. Undermine authority. Bite the system and be wasteful with their resources. Let the message become less about Mousavi and more about the power structure itself. Sponsor events. Block traffic. Entertain people. Sabotage. Street theater. Rock music. Revolution.
