start of an end!!!
Well, How should i write it?
I just came back from work to home today, and like everyday i jumped to my labtop and i turned it on to see what's been going on in the past few hours!!
Well, i read something that should be a shock for me, but it was not!!! I read "The guardian council has confirmed the results of the Iranian Presidential Election". Well, i have expected it partly unconsciously! Well the guardian council under the affirmative and apparent speeches of the the Khameneyi has made the process as long as possible and as opaque as possible, so that they can crackdown all the demonstrations. At the same time the shuted the Ahmadinejad up for while so that he doesn't provoke the opposition more. Simultaneous arrests of the the influential reformist politicians, authors, and students have been the other part of their tactic.
Well we know that coup oriented governments try to spread fear as the first step of their establishment process. Shooting, killing, tyranny, ... etc are the very well known methods of killing people's morality in order to avoid any opposition.
The second step of establishing will be hidden crimes like assassination of opposition active members, prosecution the arrests, long term sentences and execution of the hardline opposition's active members. At the same time comes more arrests, and trying to disable the civil activists' movements, and pressing the media for showing the coup government legitimate. Falsifying information and trying to bring the economy at least superficially into normal situation are some other actions necessary for the second step.
The coup government of Ahmadinejad-Khameneyi has already finished the first step of the coup, but i can guess that they never thought of such a strong response from the opposition. Specially an opposition which wasn't really an opposition till days ago. They have also not imagined the countrywide civilized monstrous demonstrations of the people without a real leader!!
As a result they lost control and they did many horrible acts of violence i wrote about earlier on!! They have also made huge political mistakes. All of the mistakes they have made, will slow them in their way towards starting and finishing the second stage of their coup,the establishment of Ahmadineajd as the legitimate president of Iran.
We should try to make most of their mistakes. My fingers are sort of blocked right now. So i write you again after thinking about the issues before us, and reading some more reliable sources of news.

vandalism
I have wrote you before that the Basij paramilitary forces attack the houses and properties of the people and vandalize everything they find!! Here is a video showing one of the neighborhoods in which it has happened! The video is a Persian footage but it speaks for itself. The man whose apartment is attacked says that the violators have been officially wearing anti riot uniforms (police).
The vandals attack the buildings on the roof of which the people chant in the evenings more often. Interestingly state media tells that a group of people provoked by reformist politicians are vandalizing the others' properties!!! This is really tyranny.

People demonstrate again in front of Ghoba Mosque in Tehran
People have demonstrated in front of Ghoba mosque in Tehran. The number of demonstrators should be less than last week due to geographical position of the mosque in northern Tehran. There is no major wide and long streets there at that region. The last weeks' crackdowns has probably played a role in lower attendance . Till now no major report of brutal crackdowns has been out. It is still so early to say what has happened.

A report from Sueddeutsche Zietung in German language
http://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/962/473478/text/
News
It is heard that out of the 70 university professors who have been arrested after meeting with Mir Hossein Mousavi midth of the last week,all except 4 of them are released.
Mir Hossein Mousavi has declared that he doesn't trust the problem solving jury founded by Guardian Council since they are all from the same political party, and they have shown their closeness to one of the candidates (Ahmadinejad) before.
The Iranian political scene seems to be in a deadlock situation. They are still reports of behind the scene meetings and talks. The conservatives seems to be wasting the time to calm down the society a bit! But maybe their silence is also due to a freeze in decision making ability.
One of the reformist politicians who have been arrested at the begining of the unrests have been brought to state TV confessing that he has been in contact with foreign intelligence agencies to falsify the information about popularity of Mousavi and inginitng the unrests. We have seen such acts from the state media before in other cases. This is against the law to rbing someone to tv for confessing before he/she is convicted at the court. This is also very wellknown that such confessions are made through brutal methods of investigation including physical and mental torture, which makes the confessions unworthy in court of justice. These are very old fashioned expired methods used by Iranian inteligence system.
8 Iranian local employees of the British embassy have been arrested with charges of conspiracy for foreigners and igniting forbidden!!! demonstrations.

Tehran Today
In many parts of Tehran and probably Iran (i can't confirm) people have stayed at home in order to avoid the crack down of police and para military forces. But they sent green balloons into air. Chanting "Allah o Akbar" over the roof top between 9pm to 11pm is also done like every evening.

The parents of the last two weeks' victims wanted to gather in Laleh Park of Tehran. It seems that as they have started gathering their demonstration has been cracked down by special anti riot forces brutally beating the people with batons, and arresting some of the demonstrators.
The atmosphere of the city is reported to be tense, and the city is controlled by the police force and military. The eye witnesses say it looks like martial law!!
