Breaking news - Saturday (PST) - After Midnight Sunday - Tehran time (TT)
LATEST UPDATE - all phones in the area of the Ayatollah's house have been disconnected and his numbers, which worked till just now have a recording saying "they never existed".
Monitored from live communication with Iran and the Ayatollah Boroujerdi himself by Voice of Iran Radio (KRSI) and local citizens calling in from Tehran to KRSI.
Shots were being fired around the Ayatollah's home at Sard (cold) Park, Avesta Avenue, Sard Street #9 close to Freedom Square. Fires are springing up in the region at major intersections. Ambulance sirens scream futiley as Tehran citizens pour toward that address blocking streets to prevent Security forces from getting close but also blocking the paramedics and ambulances.
Distress calls from wounded men and women fill the air waves as what they describe as total war is erupting. KRSI, which covers all of Iran, constantly broadcasts calls for the populace to rise up, urging them to make the most of this opportunity.
Said Ghayem-Maghami, the announcer of KRSI repeatedly urges all provinces, cities, professions to revolt against the current regime. He also broadcasts live all suggestions provided by Tehran citizens to wake everyone up and let them know something is up.
Ayatollah Boroujerdi, blockaded on the roof of his home, has used the phone contact broadcast with KRSI to declare that anyone in the Security forces who respects him as their spiritual source should lay down their arms and not harm anyone.
Other Ayatollahs like Mehdi Haeri have come on live to urge the people not to set gas stations on fire or do other damage as these sugestions phoned into KRSI come from the Security forces agents.
Ayatollah Haeri added that fasting during this crisis in the month of Ramadan is not required, giving the example of the urgency of a house catching on fire compared to a lower urgency of fasting. He insisted that religion and politics has to be separate and that the populace should support the brve efforts of Ayatollah Boroujerdi.
Meanwhile Mohssein Ejai, Minister of Information and Security (MOIS), has promised Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that he will bring him Ayatollah Boroujerdi's severed head before dawn.
In the first serious clash with the old guard Mullahs, the Hojatieh fringe sect of the Ahmadi-Nejad administration sent security forces around 10 a.m. (Tehran time) Saturday, to arrest Ayatollah Seyed Hossein Kazeymeni Boroujerdi, son of the Ayatollah of the same name, killed by the Khomeini Islamic regime.
His father was so respected by the late Shah of Iran that when questions about religion arose for which the Shah wanted advice, the monarch would drive down to the holy city of Qom to speak to the Ayatollah instead of ordering him to Tehran.
The younger Ayatollah Boroujerdi recently declared that the national Administrative Government of Iran should be separated from the Clerics and become purely secular. Religion and Politics must be separated he said, live on KRSI.
The current Islamic regime's reaction was to issue death warrant for him falsely claiming apostasy by him because he was said by them to have claimed to be the 12th Imam, who disappeared down a well 1300 years ago and will return to redeem the world.
His followers resisted the efforts of the Security Agents sent during the afternoon to capture the Ayatollah and the on-going confrontation has resulted with multiple arrests, estimated by the Ayatollah himself in a live phone interview as being several thousand people. His people, who rushed to protect him also took several security agents hostage, finding bottles of acid in their pockets, intended to disfigure demonstrators.
The mostly foreign, generally Arab national, Bassiji paramilitary forces, whose total role is to suppress any street demonstration and have been recently equipped with over $500 million of equipment and weaponry and appear in both civilian clothes and uniforms, attacked on motorcycles but were repulsed and several of their motorcycles set on fire.
They brought in eight tanker trucks that propel boiling water onto demonstrators but streets were soon blocked and their efforts curtailed. Currently, regime forces have surrounded the area and blocked major access. Clashes at crossroads initially drove security forces back but reinforcements managed to set up a cordon and hold it.
One panicked caller to KRSI at around 2:15 a.m. (TT) screamed that he had been spotted by the regime mercenaries and had been given refuge inside a nearby house but that the agents were kicking in the door. He pleaded with KRSI to give out his name and remind people that he was about to be arrested and might never be seen again.
Several of those wounded and finding refuge in Ayatollah Boroujerdi's house were women. One an Armenian woman, not a Moslem, called on minorities and specially Armenians, to rush to the Ayatollah's support and to come into the streets. Another woman, a baby in her arms, a club in her hand was seen standing guard at Ayatollah Boroujerdi's ready to face anything the regime would throw at her. Including confiscating the bread and food that those at the residence required to break their Ramadan fast.
Calls by Tehranis demanded Ahmad Hossein Khomeini, the Islamic regime founder's grandson and Ayatollah Montazeri, should join in the resistance and defend Ayatollah Boroujerdi. Other calls wanted the late Shah's son Reza Pahlavi to join the fray and call on the West to provide tangible support to his countrymen in their time of need at this moment of opportunity.
Another caller mentioned that every single one of about 300,000 Bahais in Iran had been recently identified and listed, including their addresses, and wondered if this was an indicator that a slaughter of these thorns in the side of the Hojatieh as about to happen. Bahais claim to follow their spiritual leader is the 12th Imam, who has already returned.
Meanwhile, in a dramatic gesture of defiance, Ayatollah Boroujerdi carrying his burial shroud and a sword paces the roof of his home.
Observers and analysts hope that if the resistance can survive through the night, in the morning, people who sleep unaware of what is going on will join the uprising. Some of those woken up at random by phone calls showed very little interest, responding that replacing one Mullah with another gets them nowhere, so why risk their lives.
They should make it their home page. That way, they could actually report ALL the news.
I guess you've forgotten that al-Sistani in Iraq bears the title Ayatollah, and has been objectively very helpful to our cause there.
Replacing Ayatollahs who think that launching a nuclear war will hasten the return of the Twelfth Imam and that the state and mosque should be completely enmeshed with one who wants to wait patiently for the Twelfth Imam and separate religion and politics sounds to me like a good deal for both us and the Persians.
There have been several occasions I've wondered if they lurk here.
Did you see on FOX last week that FR was ranked #2 in the number of hits on political web sights?
BTTT!!
I am late to check this thread for any new developments. Hope we get some more information soon!
...we can pray.
No. Wow. That's great news. Who was #1? (We'll have to fix that, aye?)
Last time I checked FR was number one. Who are they suggesting is the front runner?
Thanks! It's so fitting in this day of crazy sword happy Muslims who want to cut peoples heads off. ;o)
Oops. I meant Iran.
I wish them well...
Thanks for the good news ping, Fred! After a very bad week of news, it will be great if this uprising is successful for the people of Iran!
Don't recall. They just had two charts containing the first five liberal and first five conservative web sight and the number of average hits on each. Only thing else I remember was that the top liberal sight had fewer hits then the fifth placed conservative, and a comment was made that most of the conservative had more individual viewers than if you combined ALL of the liberal one.
Some of the names were familiar, but I keyed into FR in second place of the conservative sights.
My dad is staying with me, and I've been checking off and on all day to see what's happening in NK for him, while he watches the games. This was a surprise. The MSM need to get their reporter in place to let us know what's happening. Sooner rather than later. Hopefully we're in for some OCT surprises that are positive.
If this is really the beginning of the end of the mullahs tomorrow could be a very busy day...this on top of Mini-Me threatening to play with one of his bombs! I wonder if he got intel that something was afoot and decided to hurry up with his "Test?"
Hugo's got some massive demonstrations going on down in Caracas, too. Meanwhile, the drive-by media in this country remains obsessed with some pathetic IMs written by a drunken middle-aged pasty-faced gay guy.Just a coincidence. Of course, when the Sunday tallk shows all of a sudden drop every word of their discussion and coverage of the Dhimmicrat collusion behind the Foley October Surprise to discuss instead the Iranian and Venezuelan situations, that will be a coincidence too.
Yeah Dick Morris said Bush needed to change the topic of conversation.....
SOOOOO lets all say together: "It's all Bush's fault"
