This morning I would like to start with a personal story. I was chatting on line with an Iranian who was depressed because they had lost use of their satellite TV. Recently they had heard a helicopter over their home.

The next day there was posted a notice to turn in their satellite dish or face a huge fine (worth several months salary). This was depressing because they no longer had access to the news.

I was able to send them the link to our webpage and the daily thread and they were thrilled. They loved the banner I am using on my webpage, which VisualOps had created. He was thrilled to see a hero of her's on the artwork, Ahmad Batebi. He is a young Iranian who was arrested four years earlier in that student protests of 1999. He is most famous for the photo showing him holding up the t-shirt of a fallen student that was drenched in blood. This young man has been in prison for four years now and now has acquired MS and most of the time, if not all, was placed in solitary confinement.

The They we no longer alone. They were in touch with the rest of the world. I would expect we may hear from them in the days ahead, if they dare.

The protests are continuing, though smaller and spread across the country. There are clashes with the regime. Last night there were clashes in Khoozestan following the "executions of two freedom fighters."

“Slogans against the regime and its leaders were shouted by many despite the heavy presence.”

“Several protesters and members of the security forces, many of them of Iraqi origin, were injured in the clashes as residents tried to stop the public executions from taking place.”

“The two men were among those arrested during the violent clashes that rocked the City Of Ahwaz earlier this month and were involved in the popular uprising against the regime.”

We now have less than a week before the big show down. Soon we will see whose resolve is greater. I will report back as soon as I have information

Great work. Happy to read that sort of story first thing A.M..

Wonderful story, great stuff to read first thing in the morning..

Good morning! Your post #3 was very interesting. I hope they can find a "home" here. Thank you for sending the link.

BTTT!

Have you noticed a decrease in the outgoing news from Iran since the satellite dish ban and web site blocking devices have gone into effect? Do you think they're finding ways around the blocking? I know you said you have helped and others have said so also. I suppose they could be confiscating laptops and other computers when they find them.
