It’s sounding more & more like this is the regime’s way of satisfying the people and the world that some kind of revolution is happening...only it really isn’t.
The riot police is using motorcycles with one of them sitting on the passenger seat and beating the people.
but shí’it can happen

If the population in Tehran would take sticks and through them into the wheels of the motorcycles no riot police would dare to use the motorcycle.
3:13 update: Weighing in on the supposedly leaked “real” election results:
We’ve been very hesitant to publicize any of the so-called “true” election results that have surfaced, since it’s the easiest thing in the world to make up numbers and plug them into a graph and present it as fact. But this comes from mowj.ir, where “an informed source” inside the Ministry of Interior’s Election HQ says
All 9 communiques of the MOI were written and planned in advance; numbers were faked via a software program which distributed vote counts among polling stations in such a way to make everything look plausible.
Supposedly, the initial results that the MOI announced were based only on the first 500,000 ballots received, and that set the rest of Friday’s events in motion. According to this site, the real results were:
* Mousavi – 21.3 million (57.2%)
* Ahmadinejad – 10.5 million (28%)
* Rezai – 2.7 million (7.2%)
* Karroubi – 2.2 million (6%)
Obviously, this should be taken with a huge grain of salt. But Mowj is the unofficial website for the Mousavi campaign, so we wanted to present it here for you to interpret yourself.

Thanks for that link. It is beyond a crime that what’s in the White House will not lift a finger to assist freedom in Iran, but the reverse, which is really sickening and again demonstrates how low and dangerous this ‘change’ in Washington really is.
Another regime circus sideshow.
The regular army - as opposed to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the now almost TWO MILLION man Bassiji Suppression Force (including about 300,000 Arab and Taliban mercenaries) - has been virtually DISARMED by the Mullah regime and cannot be considered a viable fighting force.
Now poorly equipped the Regular Army, with officers from the time of the Shah still there (ranks below Colonel) never liked the Mullahs and after trying to compete for a short while with the IRGC, were mistrusted and relegated to a secondary or even tertiary role.
Just as Obama appears to be trying to do here in the USA.
However, splits HAVE occurred in the IRGC command and the regime has begun to have doubts about their continued loyalty.
An underground theme widely reviewed (launched initially by AntiMullah) was proposed to Iranian women to make life at home as uncomfortable as possible for IRGC, Bassiji and prison guards/torturers.
If you wonder about the the AntiMullah role, one of the suggestions was for women to add Saltpeter/Sulphur to their menfolk’s meals to kill their sex drives.
Within a week of the post/message you could not find any of this chemical anywhere in Tehran! Reports came in fast and furious about this.
Regardless, families with men working for any of these paramilitary groups or police are increasingly shunned socially by their neighbors and have begun to live in isolation like being in “purdah”.
This, as intended, has added to the pressure on the regime.
If you watch the videos of police handling of demonstrators, it appears much milder than we have seen in the past. Partly because Moussavi is the virtual founder of the Ministry of Information and Intelligence and wields influence behind the scene, so is treated with some restraint.
Of course the Supreme Ruler's certain knowledge that Moussavi won by a landslide serves to also stay his hand - for now.
Obama seems strangely silent. I guess he doesn’t know which side to support.... LOL...
That shows severe lack of leadership.
Yes, and it’ very small and narrow in there.
Iranian army has announced its neutrality. that's an open invitation to revolution.Thanks AdmSmith! Army neutrality could be a serious blow to the mullahs, but they have a massive Waffen SS -style private army drawn from Islamic fanatics the world over (but mostly Arabs). Were I running a chunk of the Iranian army, I'd issue arrest orders for all foreign nationals (no names, just "all foreign nationals"), round up the foreign Islamofascist secret police in my area of control, and hold continuous public executions of them in a city plaza, and let the wave of popular revolt grow out of control, spreading like wildfire. Let the angry citizens rid the country of the mullahs and mosques.
Wow, spectacular. Thanks AdmSmith! See message 23, all.
Waved one of these today (silk, without the lettering).
Coming to a country near us...
Regular Army or Pasdaran?
Multiple persistent Tweitter rpts had 100k, then 150k protestors moving toward N Tehran an hour ago.
2 rpts of police arresting Basiji who were attacking protestors, different cities.
Comms, net, cell, TX, all down in Tehran. Journos sequestered in hotels 12 hours now.
Shots fired, medics requested Azadi Square, Tehran.
Ditto Tabriz.
Riot rpts in at least 12 cities.
Looks like today decides whether this fire burns hotter or dies out.
Not endgame, but endgame conditions are being set.
Twit: TV reporters hear shooting in N Tehran now, 1 minute old.
