Tehran Shooters.
Best Tehran resistance source passed along stunning video of Basiji rifleman firing into a Tehran crowd at the direction of a scooter riding uniformed figure and then a plainclothes man who is also firing a pistol. The comments on the entry indicate the Basiji is firing an AK-47. The shooters flee in confusion when the protest mob does not break up or melt away. Later we can see one protester down and collapsing in shock, then being carried out of the range of fire by mates. Of significance to me is that the shooters are isolated, no support teams; that the shooters must flee on foot and may not have support to fall back on. That the protesters throw stones after them but do not have weapons. That the video was recorded from a distance.
POTUS Silence.
POTUS silence may end this news cycle with 8 pm presser at White House. There will be Tehran questions. White House has alerted who will ask questions. Does this mean they can control questions, order of questions? Surely POTUS will not call on both sides in Tehran to exercise restraint? Will POTUS register that the mullahs are split? Will there be a question about the Syrian ambassador offered to Damascus without concessions, a gift to Tehran? Usurper Ahmadinejad is fragile. Tehran resistance is bolder and bolder. The Basiji shooters are marked men, and they know there will be revenge. The challenge for Obama administration is that Politburo plan was to appease Tehran and make a triumphant visit to Tehran for peace in the Middle East. Now in tatters. How long can POTUS and his Politburo ignore the evidence of Tehran villainy? FDR ignored Berlin villainy form 1933 until 1939.
The question begs to be asked "What would Reagan do?" Ronald the Great offered HOPE to Eastern Europe.
Some in 1600 HOPE we can have a Summit with Iran with a grand signing ceremony on a "Piece of Paper". Does Obama believe he can win a Nobel Prize by getting Iran to sign a Nuclear Arms agreement?

I'm wondering, not questioning, how much longer these videos of skirmishes can be considered irrefutably reliable and real time receipts of everyday events.
Skepticism has begun to pervade the discussion, even by known expats who express the same desire for freedom that the initial street scenes represented. Some have said that without the accustomed veracity or warranty to authenticity, these citizen reporting techniques might prove to undermine the resistance by depicting them as using propaganda akin to what the regime employs.
The recordings of massive demonstrations showed irrefutable pictures. The real was undeniable. Still, we are all human.
The Shi'a religious formalities and customs will provide the show of determination and degree of resolve the Greens possess. At any rate, words have the power to inspire and confront the stubborn more than any picture... who has the "Voice?"
I would say when truth gets confused with commentary or speculation, then the dictators have succeeded in keeping their chairs.
POTUS will not comment on Tehran. I remember Madeline Albright's visit to North Korea where she raised a toast to 'Dear Leader', while ‘Dear Leader's’ masses were out eating tree bark. She came away with a signed agreement which she waved for the press - all smiles. They reported it as a diplomatic triumph for Clinton. Meanwhile, everybody knew that the ‘Dear Leader's’ masses were either starving or in prison, or both.
Albright also made a statement to the effect that she believed that she didn't think it was right for the U.S. to be the only super power. It didn't get much press at the time because reporters simply loved Clinton no matter what he did. Besides, it reflected their own moral equivalent thinking. They’d been taught that the U.S. is basically a rogue nation with way too much influence in the world.
Was it a weariness that overcame them (the media) along with 52.7% of us? Was it self-loathing? Revenge? Guilt? We will never know. But now we've come full circle. Obama is on course to literally destroy America. I've been wondering why every single one of his pronouncements and policies – without exception - serves to drive America deeper and deeper into the ground. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. There must be a plan.
Madeline Albright's visit to N. Korea gave me my first inkling that something was very wrong in the Democrat camp. The only way she could have toasted the murderers was by thinking of herself as one of them - an elitist for whom plain folks don't count. The only thing that matters is that you're in the (leadership) club. Protect the club's members at any cost. Maintain the status quo.
No, Mr. Obama is not a Marxist. That would be an insult to Marxists. He's an elitist mole who's been sent to castrate America – to destroy its spirit, sap its strength, close its openness, vilify its goodness and curb its willingness to speak out for the oppressed - so that the elitist bullies can continue bullying. He is banking that, by delivering the lifeless corpse of our once great nation to them on a silver platter, he'll be awarded the elitist Nobel (enslavement for peace) Prize and, at the same time, getting his revenge on a country he and those around him have always hated with more passion than we have ever loved her.
Good for him! We deserve it and more. We've become lazy, disinterested slugs. No wonder he - who likely is not even a citizen - was able to waltz all over us with mere platitudes. None of us was even remotely interested enough to demand proof of his citizenship. We just swore him in like we couldn't be bothered. ‘They’re all the same,’ we proclaimed cynically in an effort to appear wise. “We’re so tired of the red sofa; let’s get a black one instead.” We wanted change. We wanted to replace a ‘one’ with a ‘two’ just for the bloody hell of it. What we got was a ‘hundred’ (in the guise of some single digit number). Pulling the lever for Obama was like pulling the trigger on a loaded gun. I guess it’s the silencer that had us fooled.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL IN A COUNTRY THAT PRACTICES ABSTINENCE?
You don't. But Iran produces all sorts of weapons, like IEDs (Iranian Explosive Devises). If a weapons factory can be taken (maybe w/help on the inside) the protesters might have a fighting chance. I also suggest using cars as weapons -- either aiming them at Basiji -- or putting them in Drive and crashing them into strategic bldgs. And, remember, planes, work too.
Is it possible that weapons might soon be smuggled INTO Iran from Iraq? That would be a great help.It's easy to stand and fire a weapon when your side is the only one w/firearms. If the situation became more even-handed, the Basiji would run like the cowards they are.
Word up! Who's got the "Voice?"
Words pierce armor. Who has the courage?
