FREE IRAN
Hopefully most of you have heard about the ongoing unrest in that country. I encourage everyone to pray for the people there. May they have freedom and peace!
Unfortunately it has not so far been the case. The main stream news media has been pretty far behind on the action. I'm posting a list of links here for anyone who wants to follow the action or if you want to help (yes there are ways)
I've followed some on Twitter though its been difficult, there's so much to parse through. If you know nothing about Iran the best place to start is at Tatsuma's Iran Update page. Tatsuma is a user of Fark.com who has done a great job of trying to consolidate information in one place. He provides a summary of what's happened as well as some insight into the major players involved.
Fark.com is a great place to find out what's going on as well. Fark is a news aggregation site with a community. At the time of this writing there were 34 discussion threads on the situation with over 60,000 comments. Its a little hard to follow but its easier than Twitter :)
As far as helping here. The Iranian government has been trying to censor communication out of the country (one of the reasons that the MSM is so far behind). We can help by setting up proxies. Check out Austin Heap's blog for how to create your proxy and then email him (instructions on the linked page) to let him know its there.
