Live-blog: Iran – After 25 Bahman – What comes next?
7:45AM GMT We had intended for our last update for the day to be the previous one, but felt that this interview of a protester, Sara, by Anderson Cooper is a must-see. She typifies the ordinary Iranians that have decided that they have to stand up for their rights. The interview is significant not only [...]

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fired at least two members of his cabinet, and may have to face a vote of confidence in parliament for the final few days of his term, two semi-official Iranian news agencies reported Sunday.

Dawn of the Age of Justice
The people have not sat idly by, and in the past month a clear distinction has been made between the people on one-side, and the regime on the other. The world has seen the people’s aspirations for freedom, and their bravery in the face of terror and the tyranny of a false theocracy. The world has also seen the last shred of legitimacy that the government of Iran may have held disappear to reveal what can be safely described as a government structured like a mafia that sees itself as God’s representative on earth with the right to butcher its own people. It can’t be more clear than that.
The price has been paid in blood by the Iranian people. And blood has been spilled across every facet of Iranian society.

CONFIRMED VIDEO: Iranian MP Alikhani Vocally Calling the Election ‘Rigged’ in Parliament
This video has been called a fake multiple times – yet it is not. Everyone points to the date at the bottom and says it’s 21 years old. The date underneath is NOT March 03, 1988. It’s 26 Khordad 1388, which coincides with Tuesday, June 16, 2009 when protesters were out on the streets demanding a reelection. The SAT with the date isn’t for Saturday. For further authenticity, check out the speaker. It’s Ali Larijani. He’s only been speaker of the Majlis since May 2008. The MP in question is Hajsheikh Alikhani. The video speaks for itself. Read the subtitles for what’s in it. I only certify its authenticity. This is further proof of the political divide and of the election illegitimacy.
