Day 37 Iranian Revolution: More of Obama’s “lively debate” (human translation – bloody clashes)

8:24pm: NATIONWIDE BLACKOUT TOMORROW

In a sign of protest Iranian people are planing to cause a nationwide
blackout on Tuesday, July 21st. The following message is circulating on
facebook and many Persian blogs.

"Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense.
If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out
that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such
a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is
against me'." — George Orwell

Before the sermon, hardliners made traditional chants of "death to
America", while opposition supporters countered with "death to Russia",
a reference to the government's ties to Moscow. Mousavi supporters interrupted Rafsanjani's sermon by chanting "Freedom! Freedom!", according to al-Jazeera, and there were shouts of "death to the dictator" outside the university.

A usually trustworthy source on Twitter says the security forces were
"extremely violent" today. Karoubi was one of those attacked by basij,
one update says citing Karoubi's website. Children were also hit, says another. These reports are impossible to verify at this stage. (Guardian)

More than 1 million people gathering in the streets, according to
a pro-Mousavi website, Ayande. This is impossible to verify.

Guardian: Another eyewitness report on the protesters via email from Tehran.

It
said: "Unlike the usual Friday prayers, there were lots of 'bad-hijab'
women" [ie those not wearing tightly fitting hijab]. Many had green
accessories such as prayer beads, shawls, wristbands and even green
nail varnish."

The eyewitness also told the Guardian: "A girl was
harrassed violently by basij militia in Valie Asr Square where she was
pushed on the ground and was taken away."

An email from an Iranian student group has more on the chants on Friday:

It says:

There have been more clashes between protesters and riot police,
according to two more eyewitness accounts emailed to the Guardian.

One said:

Basij
militia threw stones at people to disperse them. At least 20 have been
arrested and many mobile phones have been confiscated because their
users were filming the unrest.

Another said:

"One cleric, among the crowd, wore a green shawl over his shoulders. People applauded him."

Millions of Iranians,
both by their votes and in the streets, have declared loud and clear that the
Islamic Republic is illegitimate. In return, Khamenei, the self-styled
representative of "Allah" on earth, said that he would crush anyone who rises
against his chosen candidate, the psychopathic killer, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (also
known as "the Monkey" by the Iranians).

The life that God gives, no
man should extinguish. The illegitimate government of "Allah" presently ruling
Iran blatantly violates this sacred covenant, and has been shooting at a large
number of peaceful demonstrators who are demanding nothing more than their
God-given right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

People who went to get
their sons' and daughters' bodies observed hundreds of
dead demonstrators in a morgue (some of whom were reportedly "missing" for 30
days) in the southern part of Tehran. At least 6,000 protesters have been
wounded. The mullahs and their mercenaries are wasting precious human life to
maintain themselves in power through terrorizing the
population.

Millions of Iranians
have warned the world not to recognize the illegitimate handpicked puppet,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as Iran's president. They have called upon the free
governments of the world, as well as all other businesses, organizations and
individuals, to enlist in a non-violent campaign to
end the reign of terror in
Iran. They want the world to declare and treat the clerical regime as
illegitimate.

Keep in mind that the
revolution has not stopped in Iran. It has persisted for the past 35 days; and
it will not be stopped until there is a free election.

In 1978, the French government
betrayed the Iranian people by allowing the Ayatollah Khomeini to relocate to
France. As protests against the Shah of Iran swept across Iran, Ayatollah
Khomeini was living in a cozy house in the Parisian suburb of
Neauphle-le-Chateau, engineering an Islamic revolution that would soon shake the
world. Under the watchful eye of the French government, Khomeini met regularly
with journalists and actively campaigned for the shah's
overthrow.

and the Jews. In fact, when Pahlavi
finally fled his country in 1979, Khomeini was provided with a chartered Air
France flight to Tehran, where he presided over one of the world's most
repressive regimes until his death in
1989.

Once again, the
ever-conniving French government announced that it recognizes
Ahmadinejad's re-election.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said that "since Ahmadinejad has been
proclaimed president, it would be ‘useless and counterproductive' for France
alone to reject this," reports AFP.
