The genocidal Zionist oligarchy that runs the West is running into HEROIC resistance from the brave anti-genocide forces in Iran and Venezuela. Mainstream media aren’t telling you about the huge pro-government protests in Iran that dwarf the anti-government ones, nor about the huge crowds in Venezuelan cities demanding that gangster Trump release their kidnapped president. Kevin Barrett schools Richie Allen! Transcript:

Richie Allen: Listen, Kevin Barrett needs no introduction to this audience. Kevin has been gracing this programme for many, many, many years. He is an academic, a broadcaster, researcher. He’s got his own Substack account, kevinbarrett.substack.com. You’ll find him on unz.com. You’ll find him everywhere. Let’s welcome him back to the programme and wish him a happy New Year to boot. Kevin, welcome back. How are you?

Kevin Barrett: Hey, thank you, Richie. Great to be back with you. Happy New Year to you too.

Fantastic, Kevin. Thank you. I’m going to play some audio for you. It’s Good Morning Ireland. It’s an RTE. It’s an Irish national radio programme. And they were discussing the protests in Iran this morning. We will, of course, speak Venezuela. But I wanted to play this for you. And on the programme, they spoke with a woman called Tara Kangarlou. Interesting character, Tara Kangarlou. She is a professor at Georgetown University and she’s written a book on Iran. She was invited onto Irish National Radio, Kevin, to discuss the organisation of these protests, which I’m fascinated by. So let’s have a listen to what she said.

Tara Kangarlou: Who organised the protests in Iran? The protests, as you mentioned, are moving into the th day across Iran. And they’re ordinary people, young and old, boys and girls, women and men, who for the past few years have come out on the streets in the protests that we’ve seen over the years in in the aftermath of Mahsa Amini’s death in the custody of the morality police and prior to that in and which, by the way, were prompted by Iran’s poor economy. These are the same people, ordinary Iranians, who are suffering every day from poor living conditions, dire economic conditions. And quite frankly, I would call it an economic crisis. This is a country of million people with great potential, an extremely resourceful country where the people are not benefiting from these resources. And their money is being looted, quite frankly, by a very narrow group within the regime. So they’re unhappy. And once again, they’re taking it to the street and they’re being brutally stifled by the regime forces.

Kevin, the Telegraph newspaper is reporting today that the Iranian government has promised to pay five pounds, that’s five British pounds, a month to any citizen who agrees not to attend protests. They will receive this in the form of a voucher. You have travelled in the country, you’re very interested in the country. Talk to us about this economic situation as described by the American academic. How bad is it in Iran?

Well, last time I was there was a couple of years ago. I was going every year from February 2013 up through 2019, when Sigil Mandelkar, who’s an Israeli citizen who Trump appointed as the head of the U.S. Treasury Department sanctions program, sicced the FBI on the various university professors and public intellectuals who, like me, were going to conferences in Iran. And the FBI told us that if we accepted any more invitations from the New Horizon NGO,
