عجب سکوت سرسام آوری در این دو عکس هست!

آقای خامنه ای .....این از آن موارد نادری ست که سکوت خواب از چشم  می پراند !

 حضرت ولی وقیح ........کسانیکه به سر نیزه حتی « تکیه» کردند  ور پریدند، و شما بخاطر حفظ حشره ای بی ارزش بنام محمود ترجیح دادید نوک آن سرنیزه بنشینید! حلالتان............(-:

Excellent photos!

Excellent photos!  I think these are even better than the youtube videos and are more telling, more passionate and more in tune.

Notice the "sokoot" (silence) gestures and posters.  No need to chant anymore, just have a seat ;-) If we can't get together for a "silent" candle vigil, WTF is Ahmadi and his Govt good for then? 

Everything is sacred.

The First Photo and the Murial

by timothyfloyd on

The first photo is truly sickening,compares with some of the youtube videos of the demonstrations.I'm also sickened by the 'Down with America' painted so largely.It's very hard for me to overlook.My first feeling is a very deep anger...But then I think how great it is to see people revolt with this in the background.Maybe more American's need to see these photo's with the murial....I really hope this regime is stopped.
