Sign up for our Weekly Web 2.0 Newsletter here!As we all know by now, there is a dispute over who won the most recent presidential election in Iran, and this dispute has turned into the “last straw,” for many of the people who are fed up with the oppressive Islamic regime that has been in Iran for the last thirty years. As commonly happens in oppressive governments, Iran shut down the free media, and also the peoples’ access to social networking sites like Facebook and FriendFeed (very popular in that region), but they underestimated Twitter.

So, the Iranian protesters, along with help from Twitter and the rest of the world), have been able to continue to get the news out about what is happening inside Tehran, Shiraz, and other cities where students and other protesters are rising up within the country of Iran.

Following are some links to learn about how this incredible online revolution (the first of its kind) is happening. Feel free to add your own in the comments, and we’ll add them to the post as time allows:

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
