A reader who has been very helpful over the last week sends in this note about today's statement (highlighted below at 12:28 PM) by dissident cleric Grand Ayatollah Montazeri (slightly edited for clarity):<br /><br />Just had call with Iranians who read the whole Montazzeri statement (I have not myself - note - my farsi is not good enough to get all the nuances of the thing). But the main point I think you should be aware of is that he's asking people this coming Wed-Fri to mourn the people who have died. The people I talk to suggest it's his covert way of asking people to strike. <br /><br />As point of reference - in the '79 Revolution, it was the strikes that did it. This is super important - because roughly right now you have some of the population that are hitting the streets, while others are Ahmadinejad people -- and it's the silent 30-40% they are after. Each day this silent majority is slowly stepping towards the reformists. <br /><br />One important point with strikes -- they cannot shoot people who are striking. That will leave them in a bind -- and more people dare to strike than hit the streets. Again, this is in reference with what happened in '79 - strikes are the most potent weapon. <br /><br />Also - what is happening now with regards to spreading information to the people. They are going back to 79 strategies. basically they are printing papers having people distribute them all over the country. twitter/net etc is not effective right now - they are going back to old-fashioned style.</i>--<br />-/<br /><br />Daily Dish<br /><br /><br />Tennessee, of courseBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-63615011222760258222009-06-21T13:46:52.397-04:002009-06-21T13:46:52.397-04:00Iran News<a href="http://www.reuters.com/news/globalcoverage/iran" rel="nofollow">Iran News</a>Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-27441832796298730462009-06-21T13:37:26.061-04:002009-06-21T13:37:26.061-04:00Whatis Algore's home state?Whatis Algore's home state?Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-59203779780790916702009-06-21T13:36:32.445-04:002009-06-21T13:36:32.445-04:00Ya mean we stop posting here?Ya mean we stop posting here?Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-8991864380995346812009-06-21T13:36:03.576-04:002009-06-21T13:36:03.576-04:00Nissan To Make Electric Cars and Batteries In Tenn...<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUSTRE55I5VG20090620?feedType=RSS&feedName=environmentNews&rpc=22&sp=true" rel="nofollow">Nissan To Make Electric Cars and Batteries In Tennessee</a>Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-8435009243788427722009-06-21T13:29:57.696-04:002009-06-21T13:29:57.696-04:00One report I read said the Council of F...ing Expe...One report I read said the Council of F...ing Experts had backed the Grand Ayatollah K, another said something else.<br /><br />Expect a strike, though.

Iran's revolution represented not just a political upheaval. It was also a revolution within Shiism, which for 14 centuries had prohibited a clerical role in politics.
