Epstein-Class Media LIES About Iran
Description
I joined the Richie Allen Show last night to talk about #OperationEpsteinFury.
Transcript:
Richie Allen: I need to go back to my history lecturers and demand my money back. Really? In 1953, the UK got involved. My God. Just listen to that again. I can’t believe it. I mean, this guy will be earning £200,000 to £300,000 a year for this. It is staggering.
Interviewer: The history of Iran. Who put the Shah in power? British official: In 1953 was when the United Kingdom got involved and voted out the Prime Minister.
That’s how it is reported. I didn’t realise the United Kingdom had the power to vote out Mohamed Mosaddegh in 1953.
Let’s welcome back to the programme a broadcaster, writer and former lecturer. Our friend Kevin Barrett was in Morocco today. Kevin, welcome back. How are you?
Kevin Barrett: Hey, I’m doing okay, Richie. I’m foregoing some body surfing to be on your program. It’s a windy, wild day here at the Mediterranean coast in Saidia, and I body surfed yesterday, but today here I am for you.
Richie Allen: Thanks, mate. Appreciate it. And it is the holy month of Ramadan as well, so I know you’re busy.
Did you ever hear anything like that from a commercial national broadcaster? The UK got involved and helped to vote out the Iranian Prime Minister? Is that how you remember it, Kevin? When you went to school, when you learned history? Is that what happened in 1953 in Iran? It’s astonishing, isn’t it? This really is it now, isn’t it? We really have arrived here.
Kevin Barrett: It should be astonishing, Richie, but it doesn’t astonish me much because the tapes that you played had so many other outrageous lies. Basically everything that the media says about Iran is at least as big a lie as the claim that the UK voted out the Prime Minister of Iran in 1953.
You know, I’ve been to Iran many, many times. I think nine times, actually, starting in 2013 and most recently, I think, like two or three years ago. The reality there is so completely different from the media portrayals that it’s just completely stunning.
This notion that it’s a dictatorship is a joke. It’s vastly more democratic than any Western nation, just night and day. The freedom to express and hold different opinions is off the charts, vastly beyond anything in the West. There are a lot of different opinions, but basically at least about a third of the population is really hardcore, well-organized supporters of the purest version of the Islamic Revolution. Fifty percent of the population is more or less kind of, hey, we’re patriotic Iranians and we have this or that issue or what have you. Maybe twenty percent are somewhat at least open to the idea that we would like a more westernized country. But of that tiny twenty percent minority, which is mostly rich people in North Tehran and places like that, only a minuscule fraction is in any sense actively involved in joining in with the Americans and the Israelis in their terrorist assaults on the Islamic Republic.
Just wrap your mind around this, Richie. There are basically two groups that the West is trying to regime change into power in Iran: the Pahlavi dictatorship that ninety-five percent of the people in Iran absolutely hate, and the MEK terrorist cult that makes Charlie Manson look like Mother Teresa. Ninety-nine percent of the Iranians in Iran hate the MEK. It’s as if somebody was trying to regime change America and put ISIS into power or something. Americans obviously w
