Oh my! Since your last message (and since 5pm passed), I've been waiting to hear what happens ... and the news just seems to be getting grimmer.
I'll say it again, we really appreciate you being able to give us these updates and insights. Everybody is watching, but it's not always easy to tell what's going on, and foreign journalists anyway don't always give a good inside perspective. And the world needs to know what's going on.
Stand tall.

I never thought a day would come that the only way left for me to get news out would be TTLG.
I can see people coming to their windows and peaking out. Every one is waiting for something to happen tonight.

It seems some of the military personnel are joining the people:

Quoting for Iranian members in case they are blocked.
Quote:
According to the Cyrus News Agency, Tuesday morning 16 senior members of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps were arrested. "These commanders have been in contact with members of the Iranian army to join the people's movement," CNA reports. "Three of the commanders are veterans of Iran-Iraq war. They have been moved to an undisclosed location in East Tehran." This report has not been confirmed by other sources. If true, it shows that the regime is losing the loyalty of some members of its control appartus, which is necessary if the opposition has any chance of achieving fundamental change. Mass rallies can easily be broken up and revolutions crushed, as we saw at Tiananmen Square in 1989. But if members of the armed forces, police and especially Revolutionary Guards decided to switch sides, then one can begin speaking of revolution.
Also here's a military discussion forum where the topic is hot, it could provide news for our Iranian members:

Stay safe, dude. I shudder to even imagine this happening in my country, despite all the petty partisan politics that have run rampant the last several decades.
Also whoever tagged this thread? You're assholes. I approve.

This is just terrible! :mad: I feel with you guys. Here's hope they won't get away with it!

I couldn't see the second series of pictures because the Boston website was also filtered today in Iran (along with CNN, BBC and many others). :rolleyes:

Our whole conversation got started when Haplo posted an upbeat post about Iran & Tehran last week, I think in expectation of good things coming,

A very sorry state of affairs. This is very saddening.

I don't read Persian, so I can't fill out forms to support Mousavi.
