Yesterday I went to the Pezeshkian campaign to distribute ads for the petition. I was confronted by security people. I distributed ads as much as I could but it wasn’t effective. My social media profiles are all blocked. So I will go out and distribute ads in person on the streets. All other ways are blocked.
UPDATE 1:
In my discussions in other places, I have made it clear that there are three fronts. The authoritarian front, the free world, and finally the independent front that I aim to expand. So it’s very important for me to keep my independence. I will reject anything that undermines my independence. As I said my access to all my social media profiles was deliberately blocked. The aim was undoubtedly to tell me I needed them to form communities. That is funny. They deliberately block all my access to the outside world and then expect me to trust them. In the future, they will jeopardize the entire project once again to send me a similar message.
So I clearly declined whatever they tried to offer. I will never collaborate under those terms.
UPDATE 2:
So I will pause my campaign efforts. Pezeshkian campaigners couldn’t contact me because of security issues I suppose. As I said other fronts also pursue their own interests that are not aligned with that of the third front.
UPDATE 3:
between retaining my independence or winning but being controlled by others I will choose the former. I will resume my activities to support Pezeshlian’s campaign by sending emails to scholars and clarifying the plan further. Distributing ads on the streets wasn’t effective at all. If it was I would continue doing that but I will change my methods although I don’t expect replies due to security reasons.
