First Aid and Insurgency Tips For Iranians
I find it hard to believe that I have to post things like this but this is what it's like living in Iran, a nation in a state of siege. These are some of the latest retweets (RTs) from Flowersophy, my source in Turkey, as she's getting them from inside Iran:
Create protection against Baton beatings,take a piece of wood/metal,bind it under your arm,use it as a shield as you run
Wear gloves, tear gas canisters are warm, they can be thrown back at the police, do this fast!
Motorbikes:use nails, spikes, create full road blocks, if they get off their bikes, push them back
Cover your faces, do not take pictures of your fellow protestors faces! Hide the faces if you publish them on the net
The plastic film that you put on a gun shot wound on the chest must be secured with tape hard! Dont let air be sucked in
First aid bag: Band aid with tape, water with spray bottles, plastic film, Ice bags, poles to bind next to fractures etc
I can't imagine living in a nation in which it may save your life to know some of these things.
How much longer will be before these disorganized protesters turn into an actual insurgency that uses guerilla warfare, evolution planning and weapons? Because these kids aren't going anywhere and if this fascistic shit from the government keeps up, that's going to be the logical outcome of this.

You've been great with the Iranian coverage. But I still don't see this as a revolutionary moment for the moderates, who are not a revolutionary crowd. Not even the kids. It does show the reactionaries that they have to get their act together, like the Repugs realizing they had to have all three parts of Federal government AND a way to hold on to them. I see people who are sick of living under the threat of war, sick of being world pariahs, sick of the limits to their culture, sick of watching their president side with terrorists & talk stupidly on the world stage. I see Islamic Persians. They want peace.
Revolutions do tend to be more organized, don't they?
