I wonder if the mid east’s leaders personal bitc* delights in this as much as he does in the murder of the most innocent babies by having their brains sucked out?

I already “posted abuse” (I think that is how you do it?) to have the mods change the title.

Very heartbreaking what is going on over there - I pray that they will prevail and that their “Death to Islamic Rule” chants are followed through.

The unnamed woman described it as a “massacre” in Baharestan Square.

The unnamed woman described it as a “massacre” in Baharestan Square.

An Iranian woman has given harrowing details of what she says was a massacre of protesters in Tehran’s Baharestan Square on Wednesday.

Reports this morning suggest thousands of police and pro-government militia used guns, clubs and teargas to suppress a large opposition rally in the square.

Speaking to CNN, the unnamed woman said it was a “massacre”.

“I was going to Baharestan with my friends ... to express our opposition to these killings and demanding freedom,” she said.

“But the black-clad police stopped everyone ... they emptied the buses that were taking people there and let the private cars go on.

“We went on ... and then all of a sudden some 500 people with clubs ... came out of [a nearby mosque], and they poured into the streets and they started beating everyone.”

The woman said the attackers started beating people on a pedestrian bridge heading to the square, with some people being thrown over the side.

“They beat a woman so savagely that she was drenched in blood, and her husband who was watching the scene, he just fainted.

“I also saw [the security forces] shooting young people.

“This was a massacre. They were trying to beat people so that they would die. They were cursing... they were beating old men.

“This was exactly a massacre. You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran who demand freedom.

“There were thousands of people on the street.

“I heard the shooting and we just ran away. I didn’t see what happened but I’m sure people are dead there.”

CNN said another source inside Tehran had described people being “shot like animals”.

The witness went on: “In the previous days they are killing students with axes, they put the axe through the heart of young men, and it’s so devastating I don’t know how to describe it.

“This is horrific, this is genocide, this is a massacre, this is Hitler. And you people should stop it. It’s time to act.”

This sounds like the info in the thread from this morning, but there was absolutely no coverage in the media.

Is it really getting some traction now?

I understand the Red Chinese government is already working with the stinking Mullahs in how to round up dissidents after the crackdown, using face recognition and other types of software.

Obama takes a press conference question (supposedly) from an Iranian and provides a typical rambling answer.

And yet, he is deaf to the screams of people watching a massacre.

Well, you gotta hand it to Biden. He warned that in the first six months of O’s presidency, he would be tested by an international crisis, and that it would not initially be apparent that Obama’s response is the right one.

Take out the word “initially” and you have a winner, Joe!

The only problem is that it’s the Iranian people who are now being asked to “gird their loins.”

I swear these politicians have no clue how many people die as a result of their selfishness, incompetence, arrogance, and cowardice.

Sadly our soldiers (and freedom fighters around the world) are expendable while they cater to the desires.
