00:00:00.000You 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.
00:00:30.000The 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.
00:00:47.000And 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.
00:01:06.780but then when they come across someone who does not fit into the little narrative or the little
00:01:16.320box that they've created right when when that person doesn't fit into the little box that
00:01:23.820they've created all of a sudden they think that they have the right to tell us how to think what
00:01:32.100to think, right? These armchair experts, these armchair experts who think they know everything
00:01:39.320about Iran when they actually know nothing, actually have the audacity not only to speak
00:01:46.840over us Iranians, but to tell us what we should be thinking, what we should be doing, what we
00:01:55.460should be ready for what we are not ready for. And this isn't coming from the right or even the
00:02:03.220woke right. This is coming from the left and the far left. And it's time to call it out.
00:02:11.840But before I do that, let's watch this video from His Royal Highness King Rezaf Halabi,
00:02:17.000the Shah of Iran and the leader of Iran's National Lion and Sun Revolution. And you'll see exactly
00:07:35.4801906, 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.
00:07:49.620Did you catch that? Let me play that again for you one more time.
00:07:56.4401906 revolution persia was the first country in the middle and near east where a revolution
00:08:04.200in favor of a democratic constitution occurred and was successful
00:08:13.160in 1906 iran had a constitutional revolution did you know that
00:08:19.240this is the charter this is the original charter that established
00:08:26.960the constitution and the constitutional system in iran in 1906 in 1906 do you know when germany
00:08:37.380became a democracy 1918 and of course that didn't last because we all know what happened during
00:08:45.500World War II. Which, by the way, during World War II, Iran was taking in Polish refugees and Jewish
00:08:56.280refugees from across Europe. So those democratic countries that weren't able to protect Jewish
00:09:03.740people from the Nazis, many of them escaped to Iran. Because Iran was a democratic country and
00:09:13.500Iran was not a Jew-hating hellhole. I mean, not until 1979 anyway, when the Islamic regime took
00:09:25.060over, but back in World War II, Iran was where thousands of Jews escaped to. And look, here is
00:09:35.680here is the first parliament of iran in 1906 this this is the first democratically elected
00:09:43.440parliament of iran which we call the majlis so back in 1906 12 years before germany became
00:09:54.780a democracy. Iran already had a parliament and Iran already had democratically elected
00:10:06.780members of parliament. But let me show you something else.
00:10:15.840We are abolishing the notion of plow boy and make him a free farmer.
00:10:20.440In January 1963, the Shah and Shah, the revolutionary operating from the throne, announces his program of social reforms.
00:10:30.440In the first place, land reform. The crown land has been distributed already.
00:10:35.440Now the big estates of the landlords are to be included in the program. Land for the landless.
00:10:41.440list the reform is bitterly opposed by the landlords and parts of the clergy
00:10:48.320assisted by the extreme left did you catch that
00:10:52.880the clergy right so so he's talking about the islamists supported by the extreme left right
00:11:02.720the the woke left the same woke left that is a problem today in your countries
00:11:09.740that extreme woke left has been a problem in iran for as long as we can remember but let's continue
00:11:20.180let's continue let's see what else the islamists and the woke left are opposed to back in 1963
00:11:39.740but the most fanatic resistance is delivered by a number of clergymen against the voting right for
00:11:50.300women essential part of the oh did you catch that did you catch that the most fanatic resistance
00:11:57.040back in 1963 came from the islamists because the shah of iran at the time
00:12:03.660was giving women the right to vote by the way this was happening in 1963 where countries like0.95
00:12:13.000sweden and switzerland women still did not have the right to vote in many countries in europe and
00:12:23.340gave women the right to vote and the islamists and the jihadis and the extreme left were opposed
00:12:31.640to that back in 1963. Let's play this again. Let's play this again.
00:12:43.240But the most fanatic resistance is delivered by a number of clergymen against the voting
00:12:48.140right for women, essential part of the revolution from the throne.
00:12:51.780yet the program is carried through women not only vote but are elected as members of parliament as
00:13:02.560well as of the senate in 1963 women in iran not only did they receive the right to vote
00:13:18.280But they participated in elections at the same time, and they were voted in. They were voted in.
00:13:28.880Iran had women parliamentarians in 1963 before several countries in Europe even gave women the right to vote.
00:13:39.720And 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.
