Iranian Uprising Update coming later this afternoon....working on it now...
Still trying to gather resources, and new information, Do see the post below, there is plenty there and links to follow. I will have new photos and video of the Marches and Day of Mourning today.
Happy:: I am not sure where you got this ? What journalistic source is this ? a blog or newspaper ? It is not very accurate....
It is true that originally the main sources of news printed and broadcasted what the State Media in Iran related to them, NOW all of them have questioned that Original Imformation about the results. So the article you posted above is in a way not relevant at this time. Of course the media here went with the results that they were told, as they would from any country.
But I have been posting about the election results in Iran since last weekend,because there are concerns by the Iranians' that they have suffered a Rigged Election.
The article you post makes no sense really, I have posted links to many sources for the past 5 days, extensively trying to provide many sources that are raising questions about the elections: Guardian. The Christian Science Monitor, Reuters, and VOA, and others, And yes, some links to articles foreign papers as well, France, Kurdish papers, and I try to find articles that are studying the Math of the situation...
There is no way ANYONE could have been declared the winner, before the polls were closed or before more than 40 Million votes could be Hand Counted.
Within Iran, one of the Dept of Interior Employees that leaked secret memos and results to outside media has now died a mysterious death. And the Supreme Ruler there and his committee are also asking that the election be either recounted in part or investigated, and there is a meeting planned with all opposition three candidates to discuss their concerns. And some of them have now been going to the protestes now as well.
The Protests are about people asking that their votes COUNT..all of them....I think any of us could appreciate how it feels to wonder if one's Vote was truly counted...
I am merely trying to post their story and their videos, I am not supporting any candidate, I am supporting their right to be heard and their right to question their election.....And yes, I am trying to link to meaningful sources and data, esp about the actual election results, and I have posted numerous links where Voting experts are examining some of the data....and questioning it.
I have also been blogging about the violence...as a a people we can not look away when people are being harmed for their wanting their votes to be counted...young people murdered at a university dorm, ordered to do so by the police....
We are all One World....we are all neighbors...I watch many of these videos and photos...and there are some where you can see families together....I will always try to help families that are trying to better their country, especially for their families and the future of their children....it's about Human Rights and that all of us, no matter where live deserve a better future.... and in a small way, it is about having empathy, even for people we don't know...
I know that my readers are not always happy with what I blog...but this is also about posting photos and videos that the Iranians have risked their lives to get these videos out...I think for them...they need to know that the rest of the world cares...they should not feel isolated in their battle...Their battle is WithIn...but as a People far away we can now support them...just by posting what is happening...
thanks happy... every day I have had running posts, with info from all over- NYT and Wapo too....
thank you for this.. ( I only asked where it was from because I do try to put links in my posts....) no worries...
We shall see what happens tomorrow..4p Iran time....
the Guardian and Huffpo links that I have posted have the most current info...it has been harder and harder to get info- pics and video...I have posted all I can find ( even sent them to Guardian and huffpo...)
I have never thought I would be so grateful to twitter or utube or facebook.....
do check out the videos from tonight - friday night- the roof top cries to god...very beautiful...profound....
