Yet More Evidence Iranian Troubles Are Manipulated

The state department hardly has the Iranian people and a free flow of information in mind as they foment violence. What they want is to keep their contrived propaganda flowing via a compliant network.

State Dept. to Twitter: Keep site up in Iran

"The State Department asked the social networking Web site Twitter last weekend to postpone scheduled maintenance that would have cut daytime service in Iran on Tuesday, just as protests against official election results were heating up, U.S. officials said.
Twitter, which has emerged as a leading unofficial news source from and into Iran since the Friday presidential election there, is still up and running in the Islamic republic, even though it has reportedly blocked text-messaging services.
The popular site had planned regular maintenance, which would have disabled access to it and its mobile version for several hours over the weekend. State Department officials noticed an announcement about the interruption and called Twitter to discourage it from going ahead with its plans."
