Rudy Giuliani has to be involved with this somehow. Every dog turd in the yard finds its way onto his shoes.
Probably.
This however has John Bolton’s greasy fingerprints all over it.
Bolton is in the employ of MeK, an Iranian-Monarchist terrorist organization with very deep pockets ($$$) that has had a resurgence since Cheeto Mussolini was installed in office. Bolton has made many (paid) speeches to them and is actively promoting them as an “alternative government in exile” to the current Iranian government.
So is Rudy:
Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, addressed a rally staged by an extreme Iranian opposition group in Paris on Saturday, calling for regime change in Tehran.
Giuliani spoke to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an umbrella coalition largely controlled by the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MeK), which was once listed as a terrorist organisation in the US and Europe and is still widely viewed as a Marxist-Islamist cult built around the personality of its leader, Maryam Rajavi.
“We are now realistically being able to see an end to the regime in Iran,” Giuliani told a crowd of about 4,000, many of them refugees and young eastern Europeans who had been bussed in to attend the rally in return for a weekend trip to Paris.
“The mullahs must go, the ayatollah must go, and they must be replaced by a democratic government which Madam Rajavi represents,” Giuliani said. “Freedom is right around the corner … Next year I want to have this convention in Tehran!”
@IranDisinfo
At least they label their disinformation clearly.
Rudy Giuliani is what a dog turd accidentally steps on.
So it’s now not ENOUGH to flat out lie to the American public, we have to use taxpayer dollars to manipulate the THINKING of Americans and ATTACK any of those who don’t fall into line. Wow, just wow.
I’d also wonder how much was filtered through their acolytes at Fox.
The very first sentence in this article is a doozy. All of the many angles described in the reading are neatly wrapped up. Well done.
Two Minute Hate is no longer enough. We need round-the-clock anti-Iran war-mongering propaganda.
Authoritarian governments almost reflexively seek to control or manipulate information, data and those who collect it. It’s not a good idea to become a conspiracy theorist, but it is a good idea to be skeptical of any information and data issued by the regime., Go to primary sources, corroborate, fact check. Whether it’s climate, immigration, productivity, etc. Take everything under advisement.
Taking a page from Lil’ Donnie’s book, I see.
My reaction as well…
Do I recognize the foul stench of John R. Bolton in the background of this story?
And we wonder why President Trump downplays Russian propaganda. His administration does the same thing, just not as skillfully.
Isn’t it interesting that these morons try hard to wrap their flawed dictator wanna-be in the trappings of democracy, which he doesn’t want anymore than the mullahs or ayatollahs he seeks to replace. I really feel sorry for rank and file Iranians and their lack of anyone in the American government who gives a shit about them. Of course I could say the same thing about rank and file Americans and the lack of anyone in Trump’s government who really gives a shit about them.
These war mongers aren’t even clever anymore with their war drum pounding. Better be careful of what you ask for, as the Chines have now said. Iran is not Iraq, the price would be more than we could bear.
Once upon a time - this sort of thing was illegal.
Not anymore.
Not that he’s the most important player here, but I can’t wait for Resistance hero David Frum to tweet about this scandal. Oh! wait. He’s busy retweeting Conservative platitudes from Canadian conservative loonies and accusing Trudeau of something.
David Frum will feign outrage a Trumpism, but he’ll take all the judicial appointments and new Middle Eastern wars that Trump gifts him. This Iran madness has to stop and we can’t let neo-cons fool us again.
