From Warwick7th via Twitter:

“RT Spiegel Reports: 5000 soldiers of Lebanon Hezbollah are now fighting against people in Iran,Horrific,Bastards... #iranelection”

[calex59]

I knew when the ran the news media out they were getting ready to really crack down. Hopefully the people will be able to arm themselves or maybe the army will jump in on their side, I doubt it but one can hope.

[calex59]

Here's one worth reading, actually several people are sending it out:

ATTN PLZ DO NOT USE IRAN NAMES/TWITTER ID'S Use"RT from Iran"!They're being tracked-sabotaged!Thank you.PleaseRT #IranElection

Per their request the user name is left off even though I am not sending it on twitter, the thugs might be monitoring FR also.

I am a Twitter dummy. What does RT mean?

[SE Mom]

Looks as though Hezbollah has gotten in on the action..

It means to ReTweet, in others words to send it out again to others.

I’ve been following The Tweets all day, and I’m not seeing any more news from Iran. Do you have a link?

There is link on here a few comments up that is a link to Hugh Hewlitt and he has a list of Iranians tweeting. However, I have been getting mine from #IranElections, most of them are NOT from Iran but now and then I see a few.

This one refreshes itself, and used to have messages from Iran, but I haven’t seen any in a few hours. I just let it run in another window...

Late to the party-Has anyone in the MSM attributed this to Dubya and his plan to spread democracy to the Middle East. Is it possible the Iranians watched the Iraqis hold a series of peaceful elections and are demanding the same?

Bush get credit for possibly changing the course of the Middle East from violence filled despotic rule to a (somewhat)more peaceful democratic society? Bite your tongue. The Messiah will get all the credit if the State Run American media is allowed to write the narrative...

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I’ve been following a lot of them on twitter...a lot of them signed off a bit ago to get some sleep...

[Bahbah]

Looks as though Hezbollah has gotten in on the action..

There have been enough reports that it is possible that it is true. There have been suggestions in past troubles that Arab speakers have been brought in to "help out."

[calex59]

Yes, a person can only go so long without sleeping and many people forget the big time difference between here and Iran, and the date line.

You read a long piece about splintering that may be going on in the leadership. I think it may have been another FR post about “blogs from Iran”, a lot of twitter, but also some analysis. I last looked at 450 to 510, I think I read it then, or perhaps yesterday when I read up to 250. This individual even suggested that things might get violent at the high levels.
