MOUSAVI APPEALS TO THE WORLD TO PARTICIPATE IN SEA OF GREEN IN IN ALL CAPITAL CITIES THIS SUNDAY
Tehran is alive with the sound of people on their balcony shouting Hearing MUCH much stronger than any other day... Waiting for tomorrow!
Strange.. this night the power of Down With Dictator and Mousavi is at least tripled!
It is Down with Dictator time. U dont need a clock to tell it,a window to a street and an ear will do.
confirmed: Mousavi asked his supporters don't go to Friday prayer, next scheduling is Saturday in Enqlab sq @ 4 pm
BBC Caller:I voted 4 Ahmadinejad,wanna know why they kill innocent kids?my vote become a bullet&I'm responsible 4 the blood.
Hospital source - increase in admission of people injured and beaten by Baseej - all Tehran hospitals in high alert
Hospital source - 12 killed and 29 injured on Monday in Azadi Sq
Ignore rumors that Khamenei is not attending Friday prayer. He is: http://bit.ly/49uG6Y protestors to attend wearing black.
Facebook these days is acting as the mosques during the Islamic revolution!
Big traffic jam in Modarres highway and most of the cars are showing V sign from the windows(not the OS!viva Linux!)
eyewitness:"each time I decide to go I think maybe this time there aren't that much people...but each time there is even more!"
Police presence was EXTREMELY high in today's Toopkhune rally. Witnesses reporting uncountable number of gaurds
People carrying pictures of the martyrs of recent days in the rally today.
Imam Khomeini Sq. was great ... slow start but when things got on their way, there was no stopping the Green Wave!! Mousavi showed up too!!
According to contacts, today's demonstration was amazing. Basij and Ansar now fear massive retaliation by the public.

I believe that is a replica.
There are a few.
When the protestors start storming gov’t military buildings I think it becomes anti regieme. They cant shoot 1,000,000 people even the police would refuse to do that
Times like these makes me wish someone else was POTUS right now...
I noticed that their green looked just like the Hamas green when they show up for their funerals and rallies.
Obama has already lost on this issue, his inaction is very teling.
I know what you mean. GWB would have gladly lent his voice to this uprising if it had occurred during his term and he even spoke of supporting any country crying for freedom. What do we get, a closet muslim fascist who won’t support free expression in Iran, or anywhere else. But he is the world’s choice and they can deal with the consequences.
The question is, how do demonstrations in the streets transform into an overthrow of an entire oppressive dictatorial system?
Right now, they can only achieve what the Theocracy is willing it give them.
It would take an outright revolt of the various security apparatuses, which may be very difficult. Just as Hitler had the SA to keep the people in line, and the SS to keep the SA and regular army in line, the Ayatollahs have a similar structure with the Revolutionary Guard, also bearing some similarities to Saddam’s Elite Republican Guard.
So while the regular police and army may sympathize with the revolutionaries, as had been the case in the successful peaceful revolutions that brought down communism, it is far more unlikely that the fiercely loyal Revolutionary Guard is going to turn on the Ayatollahs. If so, how can true revolution ousting the Theocracy be obtained? And are these protesters ready, willing, and able to do what is needed?
Whose puppet Moussavi is
Maybe he's Vito Rizzuto.
If Tweets are to believed, the regime has brought in Arab Hezbollah thugs......if true, I hope this unites Iran like never before. Persians killing Persians is one thing, foreigners killing Persians is totally different.
The Revloutionary Guard has already started covering up their faces in fear of retriubtion from the people, could be a tipping point...
Pretty ladies!
Exactly! They can deal with the consequences. Which will be getting squashed by the Mullahs and back to being prisoners in their own country. But hey! At least Obama can give a good speech. That should comfort them some.
Anyone living in an oppressed country and who bad mouthed Bush will live to regret it...
Of course the removed section might have been propaganda. Or maybe the removal is.
Who knows where this will end, Mousavi may not even end up being the leader if it really gets messy
I’d like to understand your point. But, I don’t
These are Iran’s version of America’s civil rights protests of the 1960’s.
Many of those civil rights protesters in the 1960’s put Obammie in office.
Where are they now?
Where is he now?
Oh, that’s right, it was only an anti-establishment movement, topple those in power and replace them with leftists...who are the enemy of civil rights.
**************
Somebody is awake, I see. My question is: who REALLY fomented this uprising and why? Although I don’t know how at this point, somehow I see Obama and the leftist/globalist agenda ultimately benefiting from it all.
These are the same people that screamed until they were red-faced about Pres. Bush's violation of civil liberties.
But, because Obammie the Commie is in charge, they are quiet. If he said to start clubbing baby seals, they'd go to their local hardware store, buy hickory axe handles, and start looking for baby seals to bash.
My point was that the liberals in this country are a bunch of hypocrites and that this situation helps to elucidate that under all the rhetoric about civil liberties, they are actually tyrannical Statists who approve of the tactics of Ahmanutjob and the Mullah's who rule him.
This is a start. At the protesters are inspired.
