Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Bread riots spell disaster for all. Revolutions start with bread riots and revolutions lead to civil wars and civil wars lead to oppression in both camps and so on. So what can be worse than bread riots?Strikes by bakers, of course. That is what happened in Teheran this week-end, with bakers pouring out on the streets to protest against the government’s control flour, wheat and other ingredients, necessary for making bread.
Control of such basics would indicate that there are now real shortages in Iran. Let them eat nuclear weapons or attend Holocaust-denying conferences may not turn out to be a particularly catchy phrase.
