Large protests expected today in Iran. Videos have been circulated detailing how to disable Basij motorcycles.

Also, more news coming out regarding the quickly widening cracks in the Supreme Leader's power. He has put his son in charge of the Basij, indicating increased disloyalty amongst the Basij ranks, who are little more than paid mercinary thugs for the most part who have no loyalty to the regime. The problem is that most of the clerical leaders see this move as a power grab. The only thing keeping the clerics from speaking out is a realization that their dissent could cause the entire political structure to collapse, opening the door wide for a full revolution.

It's amazing that this situation has reached this level of instability and we haven't even reached the 40th day mourning protests that are likely to be very large and bloody.
