The Green Brief is Back and Something I've Been Wondering

Green Brief for August 26-27 Glad to see he's back and okay!

Okay, so, since this morning, I've been wondering about Iran using outside forces to oppress their own people. You know how Ahmadinejad and many of his supporters have been blaming outside forces for the revolution. And yet I've see many reports on protesters claiming they hear certain accents from those who arrest them and so on, that are not Iranian. Granted, hypocrisy is something this government hasn't made any effort to keep from public knowledge; but I can't help but wonder what this could mean?

Does the government not trust their own forces to carry out there will? Or is there some lack of loyalty going on? Surely there's people, even Basijis, questioning themselves and those they follow. They just choose not to make their feelings known to those around them, and risk being labelled as traitors. I can't help but wonder over the use of non-Iranian mercenaries. I'm not all that surprised, I know that someone being paid to crackdown on protesters would not think twice as much as a fellow Iranian would. However, the government has support from the Basij and others inside its own system. I'm curious as to why they would hire outside forces to do what most of the Basijis are willing to do?

Still quite a lot going on, it seems...I don't expect the movement to end soon but I hope it does. So much tragedy has occurred. I can't help but be saddened over the unmarked graves. How many families are going to go on without ever finding out what happened to their loved ones? I wish the government at least had to decency to tell these families. I hope there's some way to identify those with unmarked graves and receive proper mourning services. At least give them that right after what they went through.

I'll never understand this government. For one that is run by its religion, it makes a lot of efforts to keep others from so many rituals. I honestly wonder what is wrong with these people? They deny free speech, and now they're telling you how to worship Allah? I will never understand...

Here's a video posted today:



Have a goodnight, all.
