00:00:00.000 You know something interesting? As a former parliamentarian myself, the only time I ever really experienced racism or, you know, that sort of colonial supremacy mindset was when someone on the left or far left was judging me based on my appearance, my skin color, my country of birth, which is Iran.
00:00:30.000 The only time that people ever judged me or they tried to explain to me why I should think a certain way, it always came from the left and the far left.
00:00:47.000 And I find it absolutely insane that these are the same progressives, right, the same progressives who claim that they include everyone, who claim that they want, you know, everyone to have the same rights or whatever.
00:01:06.780 but then when they come across someone who does not fit into the little narrative or the little
00:01:16.320 box that they've created right when when that person doesn't fit into the little box that
00:01:23.820 they've created all of a sudden they think that they have the right to tell us how to think what
00:01:32.100 to think, right? These armchair experts, these armchair experts who think they know everything
00:01:39.320 about Iran when they actually know nothing, actually have the audacity not only to speak
00:01:46.840 over us Iranians, but to tell us what we should be thinking, what we should be doing, what we 0.66
00:01:55.460 should be ready for what we are not ready for. And this isn't coming from the right or even the
00:02:03.220 woke right. This is coming from the left and the far left. And it's time to call it out.
00:02:11.840 But before I do that, let's watch this video from His Royal Highness King Rezaf Halabi,
00:02:17.000 the Shah of Iran and the leader of Iran's National Lion and Sun Revolution. And you'll see exactly
00:02:23.060 what I'm talking about.
00:02:28.200 I have spent the past several weeks
00:02:31.240 traveling across Europe,
00:02:33.500 speaking to members of parliaments,
00:02:35.820 governments, and the press.
00:02:38.500 My visit had one objective,
00:02:41.380 to give a voice to the millions of Iranians
00:02:44.340 held hostage by the Islamic Republic, 0.60
00:02:47.380 its terror and its internet blackout.
00:02:51.140 The millions of Iranians, 0.80
00:02:53.060 have been silenced but i can now say with confidence that that silencing that censorship
00:03:02.260 is not just happening at the hands of the regime in iran but by the international and particularly
00:03:09.780 the european media so i want to speak directly to the people of europe in the past two weeks
00:03:19.220 I have had two press conferences one in Stockholm and one yesterday in Berlin
00:03:26.980 between them more than a hundred and fifty journalists attended we spent
00:03:33.540 more than two hours together and in those two hours not a single of the
00:03:40.760 hundred and fifty journalists asked me a question about the 40,000 Iranians
00:03:46.740 slaughtered on the streets of my country on January 8th and 9th not a single of
00:03:54.560 the 150 journalists asked me about the 19 political prisoners executed in the
00:04:02.140 last two weeks when I told them that there were 20 political prisoners
00:04:08.500 currently sentenced to death not a single one of the 150 journalists asked
00:04:16.500 about them when I stood next to a mother whose son was killed and a father whose
00:04:25.260 son was killed on January 8th and 9th and asked them to hear their stories not
00:04:33.360 a single one of the hundred and fifty European journalists asked them a
00:04:39.420 question shameful here in the heart of a continent that claims to stand for human
00:04:48.180 rights justice and dignity its journalists have fully abdicated their
00:04:56.020 professional responsibilities and even their moral objectivity it is clear to
00:05:03.780 me that my 40,000 brave innocent compatriots who were slaughtered in the
00:05:10.980 fight for liberty are of little interest to these journalists they seem more
00:05:18.480 interested in criticizing America asking why the United States and Israel killed
00:05:26.160 the dictator that has slaughtered our people for 47 years than criticizing the
00:05:34.020 regime doing the slaughtering shame they seem more interested in asking questions
00:05:41.100 about Iran's past and history than about what is happening in Iran today or about
00:05:48.560 the democratic future Iranians are seeking one member of Parliament even
00:05:55.500 told me they didn't think Iranians were ready for democracy. 1.00
00:06:00.780 Unbelievable. 0.80
00:06:01.780 But to that Member of Parliament, to those journalists, I remind you, Iranians aren't
00:06:09.680 just ready for democracy, 40,000 people just gave their lives for it.
00:06:16.520 And I won't let that be in vain.
00:06:19.820 know this whether or not Europe stands with us whether or not your journalists
00:06:26.900 do their jobs whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to
00:06:32.600 act I will fight for my people and my country even if you have to do this 0.95
00:06:40.340 alone we will fight until Iran is free
00:06:52.840 you know something the audacity the audacity for a German politician to
00:07:05.480 to claim that Iranians are not ready for democracy?
00:07:11.480 Are you kidding me? 1.00
00:07:17.300 Not only does that show how stupid and racist you are, 1.00
00:07:24.360 it also shows that you know absolutely nothing 1.00
00:07:28.240 about Iran or the history of Iran.
00:07:32.200 Let me show you guys something.
00:07:35.480 1906, Revolution. Persia was the first country in the middle and near east where a revolution in favor of a democratic constitution occurred and was successful.
00:07:49.620 Did you catch that? Let me play that again for you one more time.
00:07:56.440 1906 revolution persia was the first country in the middle and near east where a revolution
00:08:04.200 in favor of a democratic constitution occurred and was successful
00:08:13.160 in 1906 iran had a constitutional revolution did you know that
00:08:19.240 this is the charter this is the original charter that established
00:08:26.960 the constitution and the constitutional system in iran in 1906 in 1906 do you know when germany
00:08:37.380 became a democracy 1918 and of course that didn't last because we all know what happened during
00:08:45.500 World War II. Which, by the way, during World War II, Iran was taking in Polish refugees and Jewish
00:08:56.280 refugees from across Europe. So those democratic countries that weren't able to protect Jewish
00:09:03.740 people from the Nazis, many of them escaped to Iran. Because Iran was a democratic country and
00:09:13.500 Iran was not a Jew-hating hellhole. I mean, not until 1979 anyway, when the Islamic regime took
00:09:25.060 over, but back in World War II, Iran was where thousands of Jews escaped to. And look, here is
00:09:35.680 here is the first parliament of iran in 1906 this this is the first democratically elected
00:09:43.440 parliament of iran which we call the majlis so back in 1906 12 years before germany became
00:09:54.780 a democracy. Iran already had a parliament and Iran already had democratically elected
00:10:06.780 members of parliament. But let me show you something else.
00:10:15.840 We are abolishing the notion of plow boy and make him a free farmer.
00:10:20.440 In January 1963, the Shah and Shah, the revolutionary operating from the throne, announces his program of social reforms.
00:10:30.440 In the first place, land reform. The crown land has been distributed already. 0.62
00:10:35.440 Now the big estates of the landlords are to be included in the program. Land for the landless. 0.84
00:10:41.440 list the reform is bitterly opposed by the landlords and parts of the clergy
00:10:48.320 assisted by the extreme left did you catch that
00:10:52.880 the clergy right so so he's talking about the islamists supported by the extreme left right
00:11:02.720 the the woke left the same woke left that is a problem today in your countries 0.52
00:11:09.740 that extreme woke left has been a problem in iran for as long as we can remember but let's continue
00:11:20.180 let's continue let's see what else the islamists and the woke left are opposed to back in 1963
00:11:39.740 but the most fanatic resistance is delivered by a number of clergymen against the voting right for
00:11:50.300 women essential part of the oh did you catch that did you catch that the most fanatic resistance
00:11:57.040 back in 1963 came from the islamists because the shah of iran at the time
00:12:03.660 was giving women the right to vote by the way this was happening in 1963 where countries like 0.95
00:12:13.000 sweden and switzerland women still did not have the right to vote in many countries in europe and
00:12:18.820 yet in 1963 in iran the shah of iran
00:12:23.340 gave women the right to vote and the islamists and the jihadis and the extreme left were opposed
00:12:31.640 to that back in 1963. Let's play this again. Let's play this again.
00:12:43.240 But the most fanatic resistance is delivered by a number of clergymen against the voting
00:12:48.140 right for women, essential part of the revolution from the throne.
00:12:51.780 yet the program is carried through women not only vote but are elected as members of parliament as
00:13:02.560 well as of the senate in 1963 women in iran not only did they receive the right to vote
00:13:18.280 But they participated in elections at the same time, and they were voted in. They were voted in.
00:13:28.880 Iran had women parliamentarians in 1963 before several countries in Europe even gave women the right to vote.
00:13:39.720 And yet the audacity, the audacity of this German politician, whoever the hell they are, right? These are our women politicians. The audacity of that German politician to claim that Iranians are not ready for democracy.
00:14:01.060 Really? Really?
00:14:06.060 Iranians invented the concept of democracy 2,500 years ago. 0.98
00:14:13.240 Thomas Jefferson, when he was drafting the American Constitution,
00:14:19.600 he was inspired by Cyrus the Great and his Declaration of Human Rights on the Cyrus Cylinder.
00:14:31.060 The insanity, the racism, and the colonial mindset of these far-left European politicians and media.
00:14:45.940 these people are dragging europe into the third world
00:15:04.420 and you know something his royal highness king of halavi the shah of iran he's absolutely right 0.67
00:15:13.120 But we Iranians, we will free ourselves, whether or not we have your help. 0.97
00:15:20.620 But don't expect us to help you when you turn your countries into a third world Islamic hellhole. 0.99
00:15:28.480 Because we Iranians, we have been down that path. 1.00
00:15:31.620 And it has taken us 48 years to get to this point where we are now freeing ourselves from the unholy alliance of the red and the black. 0.99
00:15:43.120 Red being the communists and socialists and woke progressive left, and Black being the Islamists. 0.99
00:15:50.540 And just remember, Iran was a democracy in 1906. 1.00
00:15:59.540 So if you think we Iranians are not ready for democracy, that just shows how ignorant, stupid, and racist you actually are. 1.00
00:16:11.240 And now you know. 1.00
