Sporadic chaos continues.

In the last week, a former Iranian president called for a national referendum on the legitimacy of the current regime, and the “Supreme Leader” shot down the President’s pick for his VP. (Neither things good signs for the current people in power.)

On Tuesday the government shut down the cell phone networks and all Internet access for a few hours in response to several “mini protests” of a few thousand people each.

Citizens have also found new and interesting ways to protest…

But protests appear to be coordinated and to be taking other forms apart from street action: on Tuesday, for example, thousands of disgruntled Tehranis tried to bring down the electrical grid at 9 p.m. by simultaneously turning on household appliances like irons, water heaters and toasters.

Alas, it did not have quite the intended effect.

Streets lights in the eastern suburb of Tehran Pars reportedly went off shortly after this, but electricity was not interrupted in central Tehran.

Keep at it guys. Although this feckless administration doesn’t have your back, there are many of us over here that are rooting for you.
