Allah-o Ackbar, I'm proud to take over my fourth full evening shift. After the Early Report day 2 ran for more than 24 hours, my third day was published at a time where not only was I not the only person on the trail, but at a time where news had died down considerably.
But first, the images (click for large res).
This fierce women represents all of Iran, unflinching, unyielding.
The Hasij pigs attempt to break in and beat peaceful protesters who have sough refuge.
You beat us, you hate us, you deny us medical attention. We save you, we love you, we give you medical aid.
The more and more information comes out, the more and more disgusted I feel. Ahmadinejads people, both his supporters, the Hasij, and The National Guard, have turned out to attack those who are peacefully protesting.
Throughout the land many are dead. At least 5 perished in the attack on the Tehran University by supporters of Ahmadinejad. At least 4 following the Tehran protest, as guards fired into the crowd. Another 7 in Shiraz, in the South of Iran.
Make no mistake about this. The Hasij, voluntary Militia, are behind most of this. They have been armed by Ahmadinejad, who has fled from the country. They are now free to massacre, and kill. Ahmadinejad will denounce it as the acts of a third party, and claim he is free of responsibility, as he has left the country.
The Military may be the wild card in all of this. Tweet rumors are coming across that the leaders have secretly met, and are deciding on what to do.
Meanwhile the shutdown on communication and press is increasing. People in the streets with camera's, phones, or laptops, are attacked on sight. The hotels are guarded by Basij forces in order to prevent Irani's from talking to the foreign press. The Embassies inside of Tehran are working on emergency evacuation procedures.
Reformist leaders continue to be arrested for "seditious" acts.
It looks like none of this will end soon my friends.
But I assure you this, as long as I have breath in my lungs I will continue to bring you the latest. What Ahmadinejad and his people have done here is outright criminal. And because the Basij are the only ones willing to kill for him, he's bringing in Hezbollah.
Keep this list rec'd and I'll be reporting throughout the night with the latest news. Long live the green revolution! Down with the Ayatollah. Down with the Dictator.

BBC is reporting that the Guardian Council will hold a recount. Sounds like stalling bullshit if you ask me.
