APPEAL FOR INFORMATION
Dear friends,
The Western propaganda machine is working in overdrive and it is hard to come by any information about what is really happening in Iran, in particular outside Tehran.
Some of you have provided me with most interesting information, sometimes by direct email, sometimes in the comments section.
The next couple of days will be crucial and I urge all of you, in particular those inside Iran or those who speak Farsi, to pass on to me every and any piece of information connected to the developing events in Iran.
Please do not bother with trying to tie your information with any article I publish here. Don't worry about being off-topic. Post whatever you have in the comments section of whatever article is at the top of the page. Even if it is a rumor, please post it (and identify it as a rumor). If it is an analysis, please post it. If it is something completely local to a small town in an Iranian province which has anything at all to do with the situation, please post it.
If you have friends in Iran, please email or call them and ask them what they are seeing and hearing and what they think about the situation. If you know Iranians abroad who have contacts in Iran, ask them to do that.
This struggle began as an (dis)informational war and it will be fought with lies down to the very last moments.
Please help me break the wall of silence and lies and keep the information flowing!
Many thanks and kind regards,
The Saker
