Summary
In this episode, I talk about the Israeli-American ceasefire that was supposed to last 2 weeks, but it seems to have been betrayed by the Israeli regime, and how this shows that the Trump regime can't be trusted.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
The Israeli regime was supposed to be a part of the ceasefire, as the Pakistani prime minister
00:00:06.860
confirmed on multiple occasions. And then the Israeli regime began to slaughter carpet bomb
00:00:14.300
Beirut, and they murdered 256 ordinary people. And now Trump is saying, and Vance and others are
00:00:23.160
saying, they weren't a part of the ceasefire, even though the Pakistani prime minister stressed
00:00:27.760
that they were. So this just shows that the Trump regime can't be trusted. You can't negotiate with
00:00:33.020
such people. The Trump appointee and senior intelligence officer said, aside from the fact
00:00:38.820
that he said Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon and that Iran was not a threat to the
00:00:43.000
United States, he said this war is because of the Zionist lobby in the United States. And this war
00:00:49.300
is taking place because of the Israeli regime. Even though Trump agreed to a ceasefire that
0.69
00:00:55.660
includes everyone he quickly moved away after netanyahu began slaughtering lebanese civilians
00:01:03.100
there's no condemnation of this mass slaughter that we saw today anywhere in the united states
00:01:08.500
or in in europe evidently he's not in charge he's not the boss sorry about that salam alaikum how are
00:01:15.080
you professor mirandy it's good to hear from you again thank you very much and it's good to see you
00:01:21.120
again. Thank you for inviting me. So now our countries are at a ceasefire. We were bombing
00:01:26.520
each other, and now it seems like we have two weeks of peace. Who knows? It looks also like it
00:01:35.100
may fall apart at any moment because the Israeli regime was supposed to be, was a part of the
00:01:42.900
ceasefire, as the Pakistani prime minister confirmed on multiple occasions. And then the
00:01:51.920
Israeli regime began to slaughter, carpet bomb Beirut, and they murdered 256 ordinary people.
00:02:02.440
And now Trump is saying, and Vance and others are saying, they weren't a part of the ceasefire,
00:02:08.440
even though the pakistani prime minister stressed that they were so that just this just shows that
00:02:14.920
the trump regime can't be trusted you can't negotiate with such people you can't today
0.73
00:02:20.200
they'll say one thing tomorrow they'll say something else and the media will when it comes
00:02:25.400
to the empire the media media will cooperate with them i mean they may hate trump but when it comes
00:02:33.800
to venezuela when it comes to cuba when it comes to iran when it comes to syria when it comes to
00:02:42.040
anywhere where the empire wants to destroy or take over or undermine uh the the media even
00:02:50.040
those that are opposed to the current administration or regime in the white house they will cooperate
00:02:58.840
for the most part at least the 10-point plan that was outlined i was under the impression
00:03:03.640
it was distinct to the us and iran and had nothing to do with israel and lebanon this isn't true
00:03:11.480
no no the the agreement was a regional ceasefire but remember what joe kent
00:03:28.040
professor your the wi-fi the wi-fi just cut out for a second you were saying uh joe kent the
00:03:40.520
former head of counterterrorism what did he say i think it's back now it was just lagging for a
00:03:44.840
second okay well sorry the connection here isn't great but joe kent no problem the former the trump
00:03:53.400
appointee and senior intelligence officer said aside from the fact that he said iran was not
00:03:59.640
pursuing a nuclear weapon and that iran was not a threat to the united states he said this war is
00:04:05.560
because of the zionist lobby in the united states and this war is taking place because of the israeli
00:04:11.320
regime. So even though Trump agreed to a ceasefire that includes everyone, he quickly moved away
00:04:24.040
after Netanyahu began slaughtering Lebanese civilians. And there's no condemnation of
00:04:32.420
this mass slaughter that we saw today anywhere in the United States or in Europe. But the point is
00:04:40.720
that evidently he's not in charge he's not the boss the boss is netanyahu he's the guy who's
00:04:48.840
running the united states u.s foreign policy so the ceasefire you're saying it's supposed to last
00:04:55.980
two weeks but it's lasted maybe only several hours it's already been betrayed i saw initially
00:05:01.000
you tweeted you were the first account that i went to for people that don't know professor
00:05:04.480
mirandy is a professor at the university of tehran he's in iran right now for people that
00:05:08.840
are complaining about the internet there's a mass internet shutdown in the country of iran and
00:05:13.800
there's a select few that are even able to speak on these calls like this so this is a privilege
00:05:19.260
to be able to to hear this information and be able to speak to somebody with access like this
00:05:23.740
you were the first page that i went to because in a lot of ways you are sort of one of the major
00:05:28.420
spokesperson for iran right now and the first tweet you said trump is negotiating with trump
00:05:34.220
So what were these negotiations like leading up to the 10-point plan?
00:05:40.180
Let me just explain to your viewers the reason why the Iranian Internet right now is, for the most part, disconnected with the international Internet.
0.80
00:05:51.220
Israelis and Americans were using the Internet to assassinate people and to find targets to bomb.
0.92
00:05:57.340
and so uh they separate so right now Iranians have access to the internet but they have access
00:06:06.020
to Iranian apps Iranian websites and all that but few people have access to the international
00:06:14.140
internet and I am I requested because of my interaction with the media that I do get that
00:06:23.860
connection and they gave it to me but it's for any of us who have it it's a liability because
00:06:31.860
we could be targeted so and i do have a bounty on my head so it's not as if it's a it's a
00:06:39.700
it benefits me to have this connection or those others who have that connection but
00:06:44.740
what happened was that first of all we have not had direct negotiations with the united states
00:06:49.540
And so Trump and Vance and others were not being honest.
00:06:55.360
There were only messages being sent back and forth.
00:06:59.780
We've had messages sent back and forth between the Iranians and Americans since decades ago.
00:07:08.580
So when they were saying we're negotiating and we're talking and we know, that's not true.
00:07:15.740
But ultimately, so that's when I was saying Trump was negotiating with Trump because he said the Iranians are begging to have a ceasefire and all that.
00:07:26.420
So and remember, the war, when the war started, Trump was basically saying unconditional surrender.
00:07:41.560
Right. The original terms were unconditional surrender.
00:07:45.740
Gradually, his position evolved because it undermines Iran's sovereignty, additional surrender, just like the 12-day war nine months ago.
00:07:55.240
But then, planned, Iran was far more resistant, the people were far more resilient, and as tonight on the streets, the crowds are unprecedented.
00:08:14.000
I have news agencies or telegram channels like Farce News or others, Tasneem, or their, I guess, Twitter accounts, I suppose.
00:08:25.960
They'll see these crowds, huge crowds all over Tehran and in different neighborhoods and huge crowds across the country in support of the leaders, armed forces and the resistance.
00:08:43.260
Trump was saying that on Easter Sunday, he said that the Iranian people, they hate when they don't hear bombs because we're liberating Iran by bombing their universities, their schools.
00:08:53.820
How could they be celebrating if we are freeing them by bombing them?
00:09:01.140
And, you know, they also bombed the synagogue yesterday.
00:09:04.480
The Israelis bombed a synagogue and destroyed it in Tehran.
1.00
00:09:10.220
Zionists cannot tolerate Jews that are not Zionists.
0.82
00:09:22.620
But it is interesting because his leading military advisor, the head of the Joint Chief of Staff,
00:09:29.320
said that when we were in Esfahan or near Esfahan, anyone who had a gun shot at us.
00:09:36.020
so why is it that anyone who has a gun like the locals because it was a sparsely
00:09:42.040
populated area of iran iran is a large country not as large as the united states but it is the
00:09:48.840
size of france britain and germany combined and it's still a bit bigger and the north of iran
00:09:56.480
and the west of iran is highly crowded i mean it has a large population because there is mountainous
00:10:03.020
and you have lots of snow and water, and you have, you know, in some places you have forests,
00:10:07.520
but the south and the east in general, they're much less populated because, I mean, there are
00:10:16.860
differences in different places, but in general, they're less populated. That area was sparsely
00:10:21.400
populated. So villagers who had guns, they went after those U.S. troops, and the head of the
00:10:29.320
Joint Chief of Staff of the United States contradicted Trump because he said whoever
00:10:33.100
had a gun was shooting at us. Well, that shows that Iranians are opposed to aggression, that
0.50
00:10:40.300
ordinary Iranians are opposed and are willing to die fighting U.S. occupation and U.S. aggression.
00:10:50.460
So his own people contradict his outrageous claims. But something that it was even, and I
00:10:57.560
digress here i'm sorry but something that i found even more interesting was a bbc report
00:11:05.320
the b a journalist from the bbc wrote that she spoke to an iranian inside iran and she put this
00:11:13.720
in her article and said that that person said you you can you you he supports using nuclear weapons
00:11:21.000
on iran so in order to overthrow the islamic republic i mean the bbc is genocidal and the
00:11:30.440
bbc in the most crude and disgusting way was trying to justify obliterating iran or as trump
0.77
00:11:37.480
was you know as trump would say sending iran back to the stone age or wiping out the civilization so
00:11:44.760
the the so-called liberal bbc is no different than fox news they also know they are all the
00:11:54.060
same they have the exactly they may be there may be different there may be different factions in
00:11:59.420
this epstein class or this the oligarchy but they're still when it comes to the empire they're
00:12:05.880
all the same they have no they have no morality or anything like that but in any case so
00:12:12.020
the initially trump said unconditional surrender then he after that didn't work
00:12:22.180
he put a 15-point plan that was completely ran against iran's sovereignty and iran said no
00:12:28.660
and then iran put forward its own plan and trump accepted that that accepted it to be the framework
00:12:34.940
of discussion not that he accepted the plan the framework for the conversation and he spoke about
00:12:40.480
it and then we saw the israeli regime undermine it this brutal airstrikes just on bombing apartment
00:12:49.520
blocks and western media will put it that way they would say they they say x for example said that
00:12:56.560
they're bombing hezbollah targets or i was on it um i was on times radio and the host kept saying
00:13:04.880
these are hezbollah targets and i said no these are apartment blocks people you know
00:13:10.000
multiple families live in each building they're just bombing the apartment blocks
00:13:13.920
they know these things but the media tries to hide the crimes of the israeli regime so
00:13:19.280
but in any case the israelis carried out this slaughter to undermine the ceasefire and
00:13:25.520
ultimately trump said no no we don't accept the iranian proposal where we you know his spokeswoman
00:13:33.600
said he threw it away and vance also said no there's a misunderstanding lebanon was not a
00:13:39.440
part of the ceasefire even though the pakistani prime minister who is close to the americans
00:13:44.880
he's close to the americans said no he said multiple times that they are so this just shows
00:13:50.960
either that trump and the white house were lying from the beginning and they were just uh dishonest
00:13:59.200
in their negotiations which we which can be true because that has already happened to us
00:14:06.560
twice nine months ago we were negotiating right but they were secretly conspiring to launch the
00:14:11.760
war and last month we were negotiating the omani foreign minister who is the mediator said progress
00:14:17.920
great progress was made and then they launched the war so this can be true they just may be
00:14:23.120
deceitful about the ceasefire uh altogether just to manage the markets and to prepare for some sort
00:14:28.880
of offensive and previously we even had something like the iran nuclear deal which was another
00:14:34.720
sort of piece terms from barack obama which trump threw away it seems like in a way he was so opposed
00:14:40.720
to the iran nuclear deal and then he capitulated folded what did they say taco trump always
00:14:47.680
what is this a trump always uh yeah he always he always folds so it seems like this is another
00:14:55.920
situation but you're you're saying that there's also another interpretation either he could just
00:15:01.520
be deceitful or it's just that netanyahu is the guy in charge he wrecked he's wrecking the ceasefire
00:15:09.120
and trump is submitting to netanyahu for whatever reason whether they have a lot of dirt on him
00:15:16.160
i don't know or whether it's something else but clearly either trump was lying from the beginning
00:15:23.600
or netanyahu's in charge it's one of these two well netanyahu was recent there's a report where
00:15:29.040
he was found to be in the situation room of the white house which is insane that a foreign leader
00:15:34.560
is even in there i mean doing speeches is one thing but the situation room was another
00:15:39.040
can we now assume and i'm gonna cut youtube and bring youtube come on over to kick we have to
00:15:44.400
change this conversation is it safe to say that the ceasefire is over i think it's pretty close
00:15:54.560
it's pretty close but you know the thing is that with this president and with these
00:16:01.680
inconsistencies and all these lies let's say we have negotiations what's the use if everything
00:16:08.480
you say if everything you say to me i answer with a lie and every promise i make to you i break
00:16:17.760
then what's the use of you speaking with me at all because this was one of the conditions of
00:16:24.000
the ceasefire that was agreed upon that the the bombings would stop everywhere and then what the
00:16:31.760
israelis did is they carried out not only did they continue bombing they carried out an unprecedented
00:16:38.400
airstrike with a hundred fighter bombers and just carpet bombed beirut and other cities they just
00:16:45.440
carpet bombed they weren't targeting and maybe in in like a few instances they were targeting places
00:16:53.840
but in general they were just striking the town and actually um a friend of my son is because we
00:17:03.440
we lived in lebanon for a year so a classmate of his his close relative was shopping with his mom
00:17:11.040
at a local supermarket and he was killed i i i did a tweet i picked a few pictures of his
00:17:19.760
instagram account i tweeted it a few hours ago just some kid he was shopping they just
00:17:25.680
carpet bombed the place and he was slaughtered along with other people in the airstrike
00:17:30.800
that's just what the israeli regime does just hiking gods i mean for for people like you know
00:17:36.240
for normal people this is just beyond belief how could these pilots be so evil but of course that's
00:17:42.080
what they did to an iranian school on day one the first target that they chose was to wipe out
00:17:49.600
an elementary school full of little girls in iran in the city of minab so you know these american
00:17:56.320
and israeli pilots they're just unbelievable so the 10-point plan one of the major objectives that
00:18:04.800
uh carry on caroline leviatt the secretary of the white house she's bragging about the strait
00:18:09.600
before moose has now reopened which was open before february 28th so this being a normal
00:18:14.960
being their sign of victory in this conflict is ridiculous because so many people just have no
00:18:20.160
idea they're acting like it's something that was finally opened when it already was before
00:18:24.480
iran part of their plan they said that if the ceasefire remains for two weeks well basically
00:18:30.640
in these two weeks the strait of humus is going to be reopened to zionist controlled governments
00:18:35.760
has it now been closed because the ceasefire was betrayed so this morning after the ceasefire was
00:18:43.360
announced and i i was actually asleep when this all happened so i was probably the last iranian
00:18:49.820
to find out what had happened when i woke up in the morning you know there was a it was like
00:18:54.440
fought for a few hours after the ceasefire and uh but so they the iranians apparently the iranians
00:19:01.200
opened the strait of hormos to shipping because there was no more shooting and but then when the
00:19:08.440
carpet bombing began in beirut the iranians shut down the strait of hormos again so the
00:19:13.460
strait of hormos is shut down and the thanks to the to netanyahu the energy crisis is getting
00:19:20.660
worse by the minute the energy prices crisis and across the world is getting worse by the minute
00:19:26.660
and this is this is what the zionists want this is what netanyahu wants and this is what trump is
0.80
00:19:32.140
doing remember again go back to joe kent he's no muslim he's no iranian he's no arab he's not
00:19:40.920
hezbollah he's not you know an ayatollah joe kent said that this war came about because the zionists
00:19:49.160
israelis forced it upon the united states so right now the ceasefire is being broken and undermined
00:19:57.800
by the zionists and uh so now the strait of hormones is shut again after it was
00:20:03.800
opened briefly and the energy crisis is going to get worse and
00:20:07.560
this things are much worse than what people um believe this this right now this is the tip of
00:20:20.780
the iceberg this you know the the rise in the price of gasoline in the next few weeks it is
00:20:27.240
going to get catastrophic but uh people aren't noticing the oil prices dropped they went down to
00:20:36.260
around $91 after Trump announced the ceasefire. So in the morning of yesterday, he said that he
00:20:42.100
was going to end the civilization if they don't open up the effing strait. By 6 p.m. after
00:20:47.740
threatening nukes and complete genocide of Iran, right after saying he was going to free them,
0.55
00:20:51.920
he says that he found a way to negotiate with them. Are the oil prices now surging again?
00:20:59.840
Were there a success? I don't know how much you know about the passage of the strait of Hormuz.
00:21:03.380
how many ships went through like can we expect the oil to find some sort of balance in the
00:21:11.460
prices for a couple weeks or no no actually the price that you're seeing on on the internet
00:21:18.040
is not the spot market price the spot market price is 40 50 higher than uh what you're seeing
00:21:28.940
uh so these are these are very misleading numbers and it's not just oil it's also lng natural gas
00:21:36.960
there's a huge shortage of that and there's fertilizer and the fertilizer is needed for
00:21:42.820
agriculture so the the the crisis is multi-dimensional and it's even worse than that
00:21:50.120
because when these regimes like the kuwaitis the saudis and so on when they earn their wealth
00:21:56.920
they spend part of it the rest they buy stocks and bonds in the united states well now they're
00:22:04.900
not doing that anymore because they don't have any uh they don't have any uh they're not making
00:22:10.900
any money and in addition to that you know they buy huge large amounts of weapons which they
00:22:17.000
don't know how to use they don't even have you know like katao with a population of 400 000 what
00:22:22.080
are they going to do with tens of advanced fighters they don't even have the pilots they
00:22:25.660
have the people to man you know they don't have an air force uh that would be able to use them
00:22:30.700
effectively these are basically bought to to get kickbacks and commissions both on the american
00:22:37.900
side you know senators and people of power and all that and in and among princes and and and people
00:22:46.300
of influence in in these regimes so that's not happening anymore so the way in which this is
00:22:52.140
affecting the global economy in the u.s economy is is is is quite is very devastating but it's
00:23:01.980
it's you know we're only seeing the tip of tip of the iceberg right now but this is what the
0.78
00:23:07.500
israelis want right they want this war to continue they don't care if the u.s economy collapses
00:23:13.820
they're in the white house yeah they don't care they don't care if indian the indian economy
00:23:20.220
collapses they they couldn't care less about indians or americans they're israeli firsters
00:23:26.140
they want this war to continue they want crises after crisis crisis after crisis and uh you you
00:23:33.180
i'm sure you saw the us ambassador to israel in his uh interview with tucker carlson yeah he said
00:23:40.780
if israel takes the region that's fine and he also said they're the most moral army in the world
00:23:46.300
so basically what what the u.s ambassador is saying is that if they take saudi arabia syria jordan
0.88
00:23:55.020
parts of turkey egypt we're fine which is greater the most moral army in the world so they'll
00:24:01.900
probably carry out genocide along the way right and this is the conspiracy theory they were saying
00:24:07.500
that was anti-semitic about six weeks ago and now it seems evident that greater israel expansion is
00:24:12.780
their plan all along that doesn't there's no other justification there's no other explanation
00:24:17.100
for what's happening in lebanon what can we expect from the conflict over there a lot of americans
00:24:23.900
aren't talking about it there's like an information overload for most people in our country we are
00:24:29.340
looking at the epstein files and we're looking at the war in iran and then you see israel attacking
00:24:34.940
hezbollah in lebanon you see the synagogue being attacked i'm very glad you pointed that out because
0.62
00:24:40.060
even the synagogue it dates back earlier than the formation of israel these are jews and this
00:24:44.940
is a synagogue yes that has been people have been worshiping there for farther
00:24:50.140
longer than israel even existed now israel just bombed them
00:24:54.300
so what can we expect and what's really going on with hezbollah and israel right now
00:24:59.900
well hezbollah really is the most heroic of all the people in in the world because they are fighting
00:25:13.500
to save the palestinian people they are they could have done a deal with the israeli regime a long
00:25:19.820
time ago but they chose to make sacrifices when no one else would and their supporters are being
00:25:27.580
massacred and they're also being antagonized by like the saudis and the qataris and erdogan and
00:25:35.100
all of them all of them are always attacking hezbollah uh you know spreading disinformation
00:25:41.740
because none of these actors will ever do anything for palestine some of them just pretend they talk
00:25:48.300
like erdogan so but when they see like hezbollah is making so many sacrifices so many martyrs their
00:25:54.700
families being slaughtered they don't want their people to start questioning why is it that you're
00:25:59.740
indifferent and you're not doing anything but these people in lebanon are sacrificing their
00:26:04.540
lives and their families to save the kids of gaza so they slander hezbollah they they you know they
00:26:11.500
they whether you know by any means uh possible they'll just try to defame them but hezbollah
00:26:21.420
has been making the most unbelievable sacrifices.
00:26:31.480
they've been hitting the Israeli regime very hard.
00:26:35.520
It sees there's a ceasefire about to take place.
00:26:39.360
They go and take revenge on the Lebanese people
1.00
00:26:51.420
So they're happy to see women and children slaughtered in Lebanon.
0.56
00:26:56.320
And then, so it has a double purpose, both to massacre people so that Netanyahu can become more popular, but also to undermine the ceasefire that the United States government, you know, whether it's dishonestly or disingenuous or not, they were pursuing.
0.56
00:27:13.800
and i recently had a debate with the zionists in america and i brought up some points that you were
00:27:21.640
mentioning on previous interviews where the formation of hezbollah started in 1982 when
00:27:26.220
israel illegally occupied lebanon they always get crushed by this argument because their
00:27:30.860
justification for genocide is israel is eradicating and they're murdering all the terrorists this was
00:27:36.280
the same the the same rhetoric we hear from ben gavir passing this new death penalty law he says
00:27:41.880
we're going to murder all the terrorists and where we were like wait pezblas started because
00:27:45.240
this illegal occupation of course is going to be resistance fighters you're calling them terrorists
00:27:48.920
why are they terrorists but the idf they are they're actually defending themselves the idf
00:27:53.900
calls themselves defense force they're really the offense force the terrorist force and when you say
00:27:59.140
this they just kind of they don't know how to react because that terrorist propaganda has been
00:28:04.600
ingrained so much to justify this genocide not only that in america they don't seem to care that
00:28:09.660
so many of these Lebanese people, I don't know the demographic split, but so many of them are
00:28:13.520
Christian. It's not just a Muslim state. They think that all Arabs are Muslim.
00:28:17.400
A lot of Lebanese Christians, both at home and abroad, support Hezbollah. Lots. My own friends,
00:28:26.180
my close friends in Lebanon, many of them are Christians. Many of them are Sunni.
00:28:31.260
Many of them are Druze. And also one other thing, the same is true about Hamas and Palestinian
0.99
00:28:39.320
islamic jihad they were not created before the israeli occupation they were created in recent
00:28:46.520
decades they were born as a result of the occupation their people were subjugated so
00:28:53.480
whenever they say hamas is a terrorist organization hamas is comprised of people who were born under
00:28:59.960
occupation palestinian islamic jihad and all the other groups there are other palestinian
00:29:04.520
groups some of them are not religious but they're all uh they're all opposed to the occupation and
00:29:11.320
they all have participated in the resistance in gaza some of them were small some of them are
00:29:17.000
larger like uh hamas and palestinian islamic jihad but these were all young men who were born
00:29:24.280
under these circumstances born and brought up in a in a in a concentration camp i mean if maybe
00:29:30.920
I don't know if you've already invited Norman Finkelstein, but I think he's the only person
00:29:37.500
who's actually written a book on Gaza, a very authoritative book. I haven't read it because
00:29:43.240
we're sanctioned. So for me, purchasing books from abroad, last time we spoke, I advise you
00:29:48.760
and your viewers to buy that book, Going to Tehran by Flint and Hillary Leverett. I can't buy the
00:29:54.360
book myself because I'm sanctioned. So I haven't read Norman Finkelstein's book, but I've heard
00:29:59.540
good things about it so you know it's about gaza if people read about gaza they'll see that all
00:30:05.440
these people living there first of all they came except for a small segment of the people in gaza
00:30:10.780
almost all of them are refugees from palestine proper from what is now israel called israel
00:30:18.940
and the same is true in the west bank many of these people in the west bank or the refugees
00:30:25.860
who are living abroad they lived in those territories that are now controlled by the
00:30:31.940
israeli regime and and even recognized by the u.n thanks to thanks to the domination of global powers
00:30:41.700
but hamas you know they have the same terrorization kids were brought up under terror
00:30:49.380
right there are kids who are brought up growing up seeing their neighborhoods being bombed all
00:30:55.900
the time seeing snipers kill people and even when they chose a non-violent path i think it was in
00:31:04.620
2018 or 19 people can look it up it was like the great um i forgot what it was called the great
00:31:11.520
march to the wall in gaza i'm sorry i forgot the name the israelis would snipe them like they
00:31:17.760
killed like 140 150 people viewers right now if they just google or if they use deep seek or a
00:31:25.340
great march of return you know ai they're calling it the great march of return
00:31:31.020
so people gunned them down and snipers would would have would do you know they would bet on who could
00:31:42.640
shoot someone from like 200 meters away in the knee right and a lot of young men and women were
00:31:51.020
shot in the knee for fun so there was no weapons there was no terrorism whatever that means but
00:31:57.980
they slaughtered them did the west condemn israel did they sanction israel of course not
0.66
00:32:02.260
because they can get away with anything right and of course the israelis are the anti-semites
00:32:07.360
because the palestinians are the semites i mean we use you you know we all know that
00:32:15.520
where the ashkenazi jews came from and and so on the palestinian jews are the semites right along
00:32:23.360
with the palestinian christians and muslims but the nazis and other jews have been
00:32:32.000
yes which that word anti-semite is almost as strong as the propaganda around the word terrorist
00:32:39.880
if you do know norman ficklesine i would love to have him on stream and have that conversation
00:32:44.000
i just spoke with professor jang and i was speaking to you privately on tuesday it seems
00:32:48.760
like he's good for that day and he wants to speak to you on a panel on my stream so that's uh i'm
00:32:55.480
looking forward to that i know that with your schedule it is pretty late over there so i'll
00:32:58.880
try to get it around the same time on Tuesday with Professor Morandi and Professor Jang. If you
00:33:04.380
have spoken to Norman Ficklestein, I would love to have him on. We're trying to reach out. I don't
00:33:08.000
know the best way to contact him. Have you ever spoken to him before? I have. I have spoken to
00:33:19.540
him before. I don't know if he remembers me because it was a long time ago in Beirut, like 15,
00:33:26.260
16 years ago i was a younger scholar i was a young scholar back then but um
00:33:33.780
oh well i don't know how much of a scholar i am but in any case um i'll try to find his details
00:33:40.500
i know people i know like i think katie halper probably has his number uh but uh we'll figure
00:33:47.540
that out katie halper's show is also good yeah i'll ask her and get you the number or his email
00:33:56.160
So the pushback I'm seeing, I have a lot of friends in the GCC.
00:34:03.400
I mean, there are lots of, lots of, lots of young Jews and older Jews
00:34:07.940
who are really fantastic supporters of the resistance and who are anti-Zionist.
00:34:13.520
And, you know, whenever I hear someone conflate Judaism and Zionism,
00:34:20.380
because that's like conflating Muslims with ISIS and Al-Qaeda or, you know, or Christians with
00:34:26.440
Nazis. It's just, you know, we have huge numbers of heroes among all communities who are standing
00:34:33.920
up for the Lebanese, for the Palestinians, for the Venezuelans, for the Cubans, for Iran. And
00:34:41.180
there are lots of heroes across the board. And that attack on the synagogue is a perfect way
1.00
00:34:46.800
to make that distinction by Israel bombing their own Jewish people. I have friends in the GCC in
00:34:52.340
the pushback, especially since the ceasefire, they're saying that Iran did not include within
00:34:57.860
their proposal anything about Gaza. And they keep saying that Iran, they want the same things that
00:35:03.180
Israel wants. They say Israel wants to take over the Middle East. Well, so does Iran. And so it's
00:35:07.200
another form of that evil. What is true about that? Does Iran actually care about the people
00:35:13.400
of Gaza? And why would they not include that in their 10-point proposal? It is included. All of
00:35:21.080
Iran's allies are included. In Lebanon, in Gaza, in Yemen, in Iraq, all of them are included. The
00:35:29.180
ceasefire must be comprehensive. And we already have a ceasefire in Lebanon, and we have a ceasefire
0.84
00:35:36.980
in Gaza, and they have to be implemented. You see, that's the whole problem, that those countries
1.00
00:35:43.660
First of all, they have huge propaganda machines.
00:35:52.020
And they have all these religious centers, cultural centers that are on the payroll.
00:36:01.900
But when it comes to Iran and the resistance, they all are the same.
00:36:10.200
but so since they don't do anything for the palestinian people those who do work for the
00:36:18.380
palestinian people and sacrifice for the palestinian people they have to slander them because if they
00:36:24.420
don't then people start asking questions they'll say well why aren't you doing anything if hezbollah
00:36:29.500
is i mean hezbollah is making all these sacrifices look at iran now and and and who who has helped
00:36:36.840
hamas and palestinian islamic jihad and the other groups to build those tunnels where did they get
00:36:42.680
the capability to fund i mean yahya sinwar has said himself on many occasions that when everyone
00:36:50.280
forsake forsook us uh the iranians they they supported us right you know abu obeidi has said
00:36:58.120
this tons of times but these people they want to they want to they don't want to hear they don't
00:37:05.160
want to hear they don't want to see they want their eyes closed and their ears so because that
00:37:10.600
makes them more comfortable right iran the sacrifices that iran has made for the palestinian
00:37:16.040
cause for them over the last 47 years is enormous and now they're waging war against iran for what
00:37:22.120
because of palestine what else no of course gaza and palestine and the palestinians are included
00:37:29.720
That's what this is all about. Otherwise, why is Yemen making these sacrifices? Why is Hezbollah
0.50
00:37:36.640
making these sacrifices? Why are the Iranians making these sacrifices? Because we're opposed
0.88
00:37:41.520
to ethno-supremacism. No one else will stand up for them. So they have to make it look as if Iran
00:37:49.180
and the resistance are not standing up for them. I like that you call it ethno-supremacism. I got
00:37:54.380
a lot of pushback. I said the first racist was Satan because we know the story of how the
00:37:59.220
gene of eblis turned into shaitan because he refused to prostrate to adam when he was told
00:38:04.060
and so that was the first act of pride in supremacy which is what racial supremacy is
00:38:09.060
thinking that you're better because of your skin color and so many people in america they started
00:38:13.380
to get really upset said you hate white people i'm like i didn't even say it's ethno supremacism
00:38:18.100
for the people of israel that you can make a distinction if you want between white europeans
00:38:22.740
and you know jewish supremacists but i think that that should be something we all understand this is
00:38:28.200
the issue is a racial superiority complex but they yeah it doesn't matter what religion it is
00:38:35.040
what race it is any form of supremacism is unacceptable anyone who says this you know
00:38:41.920
this tribe their their lives are less worthy than that tribe including their children and people
00:38:49.260
who have you know who don't even know about these issues you know minors there's something wrong
00:38:57.000
there's something deeply wrong and that is exactly what allows people to massacre others because
00:39:03.000
they say they're subhuman they're less than us so they're sort of like animals so we can wipe them
00:39:08.060
out right and adopting that mentality for another race is repeating the same mistakes we're seeing
00:39:12.440
right now so we have to be very careful racism is the reason why israel is getting with what
0.55
00:39:17.340
they're getting away with but since i first had you on i mean one of the one of the great things
00:39:22.020
about malcolm x was that malcolm x initially brilliant man brilliant man
00:39:32.260
he was racist but he evolved and he and you know i i read about him a long time ago so i don't want
00:39:42.020
to go into great detail because i may make a mistake but i think that especially after you
00:39:46.500
went to hedge and he saw and he met people in different groups and they had they'd go and have
00:39:52.980
meetings and so on and he he saw people white black you know all different races and uh and
00:40:00.900
ethnicities and then he he that that was i don't i'm not saying it it happened overnight but that
00:40:06.660
was like the key moment which made him shift and he changed completely and then that's when he
00:40:13.300
became malcolm x yeah the the one that we admire because he saw beyond race he knew that yeah
00:40:19.540
there are white heroes there are black people who are not heroes at all and he saw a common humanity
00:40:28.420
well he was the name he was originally called detroit red because he was a pimp and a drug
00:40:33.380
dealer this is the reason i reverted to islam why i read his autobiography when i was 11 years old
00:40:38.100
and seeing how he was able to i'm so what you said is exactly the reason why islam resonated with me
00:40:42.660
he was a black right he was a racist he was advocating for segregation he was saying white
00:40:46.900
devils and when he became because of the hardship i mean he was brought up in a very similar to the
0.74
00:40:53.060
palestinians he grew up around the kkk they were they firebombed his house and so he became malcolm
00:40:58.740
x because he wanted to reject his reject his slave name and so malcolm x was like i'm going to x out
00:41:02.980
my slave name but after his hajj he changed his name to el malik al shabazz so he no longer abided
00:41:09.140
by that then that was his final name so we should call him that but i resonated with that letter and
00:41:14.020
it almost was overnight he went to hajj and he wrote a letter it is it is another book aside
00:41:18.660
from i mean a lot there are lots of books that have to be purchased one is going to tehran but
00:41:23.140
one is his autobiography with i which i think alex haley uh wrote with him but that is a
00:41:30.900
definitely book for people to read that's my favorite book i was very young reading that
00:41:36.260
that changed my outlook on the world and it was almost overnight so he was still part of the nation
00:41:40.180
of islam and on that pilgrimage he wrote this letter called letter from mecca to the nation
00:41:44.980
of islam and said yeah i'm not racist anymore i'm sitting next to white people arabs asians and we're
00:41:50.740
eating together i realized that under islam nobody is superior to another because of skin
00:41:56.900
it's through works and then obviously he went back home and he was assassinated shortly after
0.83
00:42:02.260
but his story of peace and of realizing the faults in his ideology is super inspiring and i highly
00:42:09.140
sometimes when i'm at home alone i just go to like the internet and i listen to one of his speeches
00:42:18.180
you know on on youtube or rumble or wherever and it's it's amazing i mean the way he speaks
00:42:25.700
speaks the way his you know his his his self-confidence very amazing person his speeches
00:42:35.100
and the way he his understanding of the English language is phenomenal beforehand it wasn't that
00:42:41.140
good people are asking why was he Detroit red it's because he had red hair he was actually a
00:42:44.440
quarter white he wasn't even fully black which is kind of a oxymoron same way like Hitler people
00:42:49.840
said that he was a quarter Jewish so you harbor these racist ideologies and it's literally within
00:42:54.360
your dna so that that part red hair was why he called himself but also in jail what's super
00:43:00.160
inspiring is that he memorized what he spent every day reading the dictionary and trying to
00:43:04.760
master the english language beforehand you can understand if he's a drug dealer and pimp
00:43:08.060
he was using street lingo then he became an expert and you could see how he was able to
00:43:13.480
resonate with people and become so influential because of language that's the most powerful tool
00:43:18.640
we have is knowledge so absolutely yeah he's a master i do want to ask martin the one of my
00:43:27.060
favorite the most inspiring i think in america since i first had you on and since this war
00:43:31.640
started a lot of people in the out of world especially syrians syrians and i hear from
00:43:37.740
egyptians they're very critical of iran and they're saying iran did this iran killed these
00:43:43.060
people they supported this regime what is the truth about that because obviously i'm american
00:43:49.580
and i don't have you know i'm a revert i don't have the sort of ties and you know background
00:43:56.100
that a lot of these people have what is the truth about that from your perspective about the attacks
00:44:01.140
that iran has made throughout the arab world well what happened was first of all iran was again
00:44:11.600
the only country that was supporting the Palestinian cause,
00:44:20.040
none of them have ever done anything for the Palestinians.
00:44:23.980
or giving a few scholarships to Palestinian students,
00:44:29.140
In fact, that's basically public diplomacy.
0.64
00:44:33.520
And they had a lot of money, Qatar and the others,
00:44:37.880
So when Iran was supporting them, they always tried to defame Iran, to slander Iran, sectarian disinformation, racism, whatever.
00:44:49.520
Then we had the U.S. conspiracy to undermine Syria.
00:44:54.720
Why? Because after the United States foolishly invaded Iraq and failed, Iraq became close to Iran.
0.74
00:45:02.340
and then there was syria and then there was lebanon and of course to the south you know
00:45:08.540
there was palestine to the south so the americans and the israeli regime were very concerned about
00:45:17.580
this axis of resistance that's this bridge that existed and so they
00:45:25.300
started talking about and you can see this on wikileaks and elsewhere it began before 2011
00:45:33.640
but in 2011 they be during the arab spring after they destroyed libya using with the help of sadly
00:45:47.460
with the with the knowledge and support of the united states remember the same al-qaeda that
0.71
00:45:53.620
were told carried out 9-11. The formal story of 9-11, 10 years later in Libya, they overthrew
00:46:02.480
the Libyan government. Then they started the same in Syria. And initially, Iran didn't get involved.
00:46:09.940
But then by late 2011, we saw that al-Qaeda was growing fast and foreign fighters were coming
00:46:17.520
into Syria. And again, the Syrian government was not particularly close to Iran. President Erdogan
00:46:27.860
and former President Assad were family friends. There's footage of them. They went on vacation
00:46:36.740
together with their wives. Iran never had that sort of relationship. The business relationship
00:46:42.600
between turkey and syria was extensive with iran very little iran's link to syria was basically
00:46:51.960
that through syria they would support the resistance in lebanon and through syria they
00:46:55.480
would support the palestinian groups right whether they're in the west bank or in lebanon or in gaza
00:47:06.920
so the united states began operation timber sycamore and as i if as you recall last time
00:47:15.440
the iranians saw that al-qaeda which is a tool of the west began to grow in syria
00:47:23.120
and uh we saw if you recall i i mentioned that email between jake sullivan who was
00:47:32.180
biden's national security advisor in 2012 he worked for hillary clinton when she was secretary
00:47:38.860
of state and the wikileaks released this this email where he says on february the 12th 2012
00:47:47.740
in syria al-qaeda is on our side so this jolani was on their side because he was the head of
00:47:56.840
Al-Qaeda in Syria. He was in ISIS in Iraq when it was called the Islamic State of Iraq. It wasn't
00:48:03.480
ISIS yet. And then he was sent to Syria to lead Al-Qaeda there. So he was working for the Americans.
00:48:13.640
And then ISIS was created. The Islamic State of Iraq created the Al-Qaeda in Syria. It was called
00:48:26.200
the nusra front so it's the islamic state of iraq they sent this guy jolani to syria
00:48:33.880
in the name of the nusra front both al-qaeda right and then al-qaeda in iraq declares itself
00:48:42.700
as the islamic state of iraq and syria isis that abu baghdad guy but jolani says no i'm my own guy
00:48:53.220
i don't want to be a part of you i'm independent and then they break but their roots are the same
00:48:59.860
they have the same ideology but they became enemies of each other so the united states
00:49:06.580
and its allies were both supporting isis and al-qaeda and other groups similar groups but
00:49:11.460
these were the two biggest groups now there's another document so that was february the 12th
00:49:17.380
2012. There was another document that came out that was the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency's
00:49:27.220
document, a document that belonged to the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, which is the largest
00:49:32.120
military intelligence organization. Back then it was run by General Michael Flynn, who I'm sure
00:49:37.760
many of your viewers have heard his name. That agency released, they released, a document was
00:49:46.340
released from that agency which said that u.s regional allies were creating a salafist entity
00:49:55.800
between iraq and syria like erdogan jordan the qataris the saudis and who was that because they
00:50:08.320
wanted to break the link between syria and iraq who was that entity it was isis
00:50:15.080
and general michael flynn on al jazeer of all places the qatari propaganda machine went and
00:50:25.760
said that the u.s president obama supported this the u.s government supported this policy
00:50:32.480
so spreading isis and al-qaeda were both u.s policy and they brought in tens of thousands
00:50:41.460
of foreign fighters including from europe they were recruiting in europe in mosques and elsewhere
00:50:48.260
and i have friends in the uk two in particular one of them said iphone i i called the police
00:50:58.900
and told them that in my local mosque they're trying to recruit my cousin and the police told
00:51:05.780
them don't worry about it we have all this under control but the police did nothing so they were
00:51:12.260
recruiting in the uk western intelligence agencies knew it they supported it so a lot of young people
00:51:21.380
from across the region and from europe were streaming into turkey and turkey erdogan
00:51:28.260
his intelligence agencies were sending them into syria to join isis
0.52
00:51:37.060
now that into so iran until 2013 this is like two years after the dirty war in syria
00:51:44.340
syria began and it was called operation timber sycamore obama signed off the operation
00:51:52.820
after tens of thousands of foreign fighters came in did iran finally say we have to stop this
00:51:59.780
not because they're sunni iran couldn't care i told you like i was saying last time
00:52:04.820
ron didn't care i mean asad is not even a religious person whether he's alawit or sunni or
00:52:10.580
i mean his wife is sunni actually but whether he's alavi or sunni or drus or christian or jewish
00:52:16.580
what the iranians didn't want was western intelligence agencies to solar install a regime
00:52:23.780
because it's obvious what they were seeking to do they wanted to undermine the resistance
00:52:30.020
they wanted to break the bridge between iran and the palestinians and the resistance in lebanon
00:52:37.400
and ultimately they succeeded i mean you know after years of but the iranians were there not
00:52:43.920
And right now, to the north of Iran, in the Republic of Azerbaijan, it's a Shia country.
00:52:52.520
He's a despot, and he's an ally of the Israeli regime, and the Iranians are no fans of his.
00:52:58.420
He sells cheap oil to the Israeli regime, and Erdogan transports it to Israel.
00:53:08.300
and i explained last time to you as well that when boston was collapsing and people were
00:53:15.180
i've been doing the only country that came just rescued or or in cuba i mean right i mean right
00:53:20.140
now iran can't help because it's you know fighting it for survival right of with with success but
00:53:27.900
iran has been supporting cuba iran has been supporting venezuela all these years i looked
00:53:32.620
into bosnia iran was helping out venezuela oh yeah yeah well i mean a few years ago when
00:53:42.060
americans were were collapsing the economy i don't know if you recall because you're you're young but
00:53:48.060
just a few years ago iran sent a number of tankers to venezuela and told americans you'd better not
00:53:54.300
touch our tankers and they sent those tankers to help revive the venezuelan economy for free
00:53:59.340
venezuelans christian i hear those communists i hear the pushback but they are under the boots
00:54:07.020
of empire so iran supports them the the pushback i hear from people in the gcc is that iran does
00:54:13.660
not actually do this because they care about resistance they do this because they just care
00:54:17.580
about the strength of their empire and they're arming people like basi even though i looked more
00:54:22.780
into the basian genocide and iran did support them with weapons and i've heard that also there
00:54:28.540
were some people trying to smuggle in illegal weapons so they try to say that others helped
00:54:32.700
aside from just iran but the one that were that the only nation really publicly supporting them
00:54:37.340
with weapons it seems like it was iran but then the gcc who's really upset about these attacks
00:54:42.300
they say that iran doesn't actually care they just want their empire to thrive
00:54:47.980
like i mean if iran did not support the palestinian cause like where is the iranian empire
00:54:56.220
iran after the revolution saddam hussein invaded iran at the you know with u.s and western
00:55:05.620
encouragement and the soviet union back then supported him too these gcc countries or pgcc
00:55:13.440
countries these countries in the persian gulf they gave saddam hussein hundreds of billions of
0.78
00:55:18.740
dollars and they helped him fund his chemical weapons program that the germans gave to him
0.86
00:55:28.580
so they helped slaughter iranians they helped saddam hussein in his war of aggression slaughter
0.89
00:55:34.900
iranians after saddam hussein then later on went and invaded kuwait and suddenly these countries
00:55:40.660
that were helping saddam were were in shock the relations with iran improved and but iran
00:55:48.260
never attacked them for all the crimes that they had committed against us. And then later on,
00:55:55.940
Qatar supported the dirty war in Syria. All of them supported the genocidal war in Yemen.
0.87
00:56:02.340
But then when the Saudis and the Emiratis suddenly turned against Qatar and Qatar was trapped,
00:56:09.220
who came to Qatar's rescue? It was Iran. The only way in which Qatar could survive
0.62
00:56:16.340
was through iran did iran demand qatar give its oil assets or billions of dollars
00:56:23.620
did it demand some like concession from qatar no it just said okay sure you can use our airspace
00:56:32.320
we'll send you food we'll give you aid you can use our shipping lines you can your planes can
0.67
00:56:38.120
their only hope was iran iran could have taken qatar you know held them by the throat and said
00:56:47.100
okay you give us like 20 of your gas wealth or whatever and will that you survive you think
00:56:54.820
would have accepted without a doubt did iran demand that no did iran want anything in particular
00:57:04.300
No. And as soon as Qatar's problems were resolved, they forgot all about what Iran did for them.
00:57:12.780
Okay. I have a few more. I don't want to keep you too long because I know it's very late over there.
00:57:17.480
But if I could ask quickly, just out of curiosity, so what should we know about Assad? What should
00:57:23.420
Americans know? I have a lot of Syrian friends that hate him. They said it was a terrible regime.
00:57:28.640
I want to see from your perspective, what is the truth about Assad?
00:57:32.960
assad he's he's no you know he's not like a i mean his supporters are many of them are
00:57:42.260
fanatical supporters of him and his opponents are fanatical opponents of him for iran it was a
00:57:48.300
choice between something that it did not like and something that was a tool of empire why is it
00:57:57.020
something that he why was it something that it did not like because syria like iraq were both
00:58:04.740
governed by the bath party they the bath party split but they were still the same in essence
00:58:12.060
saddam hussein ran the bath party in iraq so iranians don't have any wonderful memories of
00:58:19.400
the bath party in the case of syria iran was not a big fan of the model of government in syria
00:58:26.860
was the united states using its intelligence agencies and using these extremist groups
00:58:37.220
to undermine syria for the sake of who for the sake of israel right now is joelani doing anything
00:58:44.180
against israel no of course not he went to the white house he went and saw uh israeli lobbyists
0.81
00:58:51.860
we know what he did we know who he's with now he's just like all these other arab despots no
0.81
00:58:58.340
different but they're through this media that's funded by these p these arab regimes in the
0.94
00:59:05.800
persian gulf all despots who do nothing for palestine they propagandize and they you know
00:59:12.720
brainwash people to think that all the iranians did this iranian iran all that iran wanted was
0.82
00:59:18.300
and make sure that u.s the cia did not get its way in syria because whatever the ci does it does it
0.66
00:59:24.940
for the sake of israel and sadly turkey it has been doing the bidding the regime has been doing
00:59:32.380
the bidding of the united states for a very long time when trump they had that parsicle ceremony
00:59:39.900
in egypt after the so-called ceasefire in gaza what a ceasefire all these regimes went there
00:59:50.060
and they all bowed to trump none of them care about the palestinian cause
0.65
00:59:57.820
if they did right now they'd do something about it even though they're all threatened in one way
01:00:01.740
or another right so there's nothing to do i mean it's again like in in cuba why would iran support
01:00:09.180
cuba if it's a communist regime you want it the issue is that it's being it's under the boot of
01:00:14.540
the u.s empire and the same is true with yeah it's confusing from my perspective it's confusing
01:00:22.260
because iran is the only nation really fighting against israel right now so obviously you have to
01:00:28.040
support people who are resisting the most evil empire around right now but there's so many people
01:00:33.140
i posted something about jelani the other day because keir starmer the prime minister of the
01:00:37.720
uk is shaking hands with them and it's like wait wasn't this guy the former head of al-qaeda
01:00:41.480
is he not backed by that same empire and so many people messaged me extremely upset
01:00:46.160
saying that jolani's good saying that jolani is better than assad saying you don't know this
01:00:50.920
and i was like well if he is in bed with the same people that were criticizing for the genocide i
01:00:58.140
don't see why now they turned a blind eye over here i have to learn more about that but it's
01:01:03.740
it's max blumenthal max blumenthal initially he supported these groups because he didn't
01:01:11.980
know but then he began doing his research and he found out what was happening and he became
01:01:17.980
anti uh you know he turned against them and understood why iran was supporting syria he
01:01:25.180
wrote a good book i think it's called man the man management of savagery something like that
01:01:30.620
i i have the book i just forgot the name i have a terrible not i'm not very smart i have a terrible
01:01:36.400
memory but the he he has a book come on also there's a not a good person for you to invite
01:01:41.680
i think and that is alice or crook and you may have seen him here and there he knows a lot about
01:01:47.300
this sort of thing so these are people i mean he alice or crook was someone deeply involved with
01:01:52.540
these different groups and organizations he he would know but max blumenthal he's written a book
01:01:58.400
on this it's it's clear as day these people are just being brainwashed and it's based you know
01:02:04.000
it's sort of like you know you you hate this they teach you to hate group a and so you're in in clan
01:02:10.400
b but you know that's basically what empire wants you to be they want you to hate each other they
0.89
01:02:16.720
want me to hate arabs and arabs to hate turks and turks hate iranians and kurds to hate that's that's
01:02:24.080
the whole point the whole point is to keep everyone divided so but for iran iran was indifferent
0.70
01:02:30.960
completely to to what assad who he was when iran didn't want was the empire to take over syria
01:02:40.560
just like if you know when right now the united states is is trying to take over venezuela where
01:02:48.400
would iran where does iran stand it stands with venezuela is it because venezuela is uh shia or
0.76
01:02:55.520
muslim no it's because they are the victims of empire it's clear as day yeah admittedly i have
01:03:03.600
to learn more about assad and the history of syria in this but from my outside perspective
01:03:08.000
as a revert who's not persian or out of what it looks like and i'm seeing people in the chat they're
01:03:12.320
very upset and they're saying things about syria they're making comparisons between iran and israel
01:03:17.120
from the outside looking in it seems like that this is the propaganda working where they want
01:03:22.160
persians and arabs to be divided they want them to have the infighting that we see around the world
0.98
01:03:27.760
so that we are focused on each other rather than the bigger picture i think that's the best way to
0.99
01:03:32.960
categorize what is happening when people are saying oh don't support iraq it's just it looks
01:03:38.880
like the same exact playbook we see with other christian separation ethnic separation get people
01:03:46.880
infighting so that we don't see the bigger picture yeah or turning muslims against christians or
01:03:54.960
uh you know i mean for for us uh christ is infallible but you know you you when you listen
0.80
01:04:04.240
to the propaganda that these christian zionists are pushing you think that like we're the enemies
0.61
01:04:09.680
of christ and again like jews like you see all these jews who are anti-zionist but they're
01:04:17.200
they the media tries to push the narrative that like jews are all zionists which is not the case
01:04:25.440
and increasingly it is not the case increasingly it is not americans were so surprised to see that
01:04:31.680
there were jews in iran they're like what i thought that they were persecuted around the
01:04:34.960
world they always say that jews need a homeland but they live peacefully within iran they have
01:04:38.640
synagogues and they they coexist just how they were coexisting in jerusalem under ottoman
01:04:43.120
kosher restaurants they have kosher restaurants kosher is halal they have an empty parliament
01:04:49.360
right for for time's sake i just want to ask you a few more i don't want to keep you too long thanks
01:04:55.120
for coming on but the rescue mission that recently happened i was watching a professor jang lecture
01:05:01.040
and originally my theory was that they are going to justify ground troop invasion under the guise
01:05:06.800
of rescue missions because we have in our u.s military doctrine no man left behind where movies
01:05:13.300
like black hawk down are showing that the u.s military they're heroes and they're going to go
01:05:17.840
save saving private ryan there you go say we need to go and have this mission to save this one troop
01:05:22.980
because we are the best people ever then you see this story where the pilot the f-15 was shot down
01:05:29.140
and the pilot is there alone by himself and then he hikes a 2.1 kilometer mountain and then there
01:05:35.040
they created landing strip they send in a 300 million dollars worth of equipment to go retrieve
01:05:40.520
him they send all these troops to go and save this guy we don't know his name he hasn't been
01:05:45.800
identified and then they claim victory and they say we saved this guy but we're not going to tell
01:05:49.940
you who he is then peter hegseth the secretary of war he fires eight generals we're wondering why
01:05:56.040
he's questioned why did you fire these generals he doesn't answer the question maybe it's because
01:05:59.680
they were leaking some information to the media about this rescue mission is it true that the
01:06:03.620
rescue mission was all a lie and that this was really a failed ground troop invasion
01:06:08.060
i i think that the generals were probably removed and i think they were i'm not quite sure right now
01:06:16.840
i think they were removed before this person was supposedly rescued maybe they were removed after
01:06:25.840
the plane had been downed but i think they were removed after the rescue this so-called rescue
01:06:32.300
mission took place and i think it probably has a lot to do with uh these generals being saying
01:06:40.460
invading iran or carrying out these uh operations are not a good idea don't do it i think that that
01:06:48.620
was probably it although you'd have to ask people who know more about the workings of the u.s military
01:06:55.100
and the u.s the u.s government rather than me but what happened was that this guy for whatever
01:07:03.980
reason he he was apparently from what we're told even though as you you know we're told that he was
01:07:10.460
a senior officer that wouldn't usually be in a plane and apparently that plane was being used to
01:07:18.620
gather information about that area so that an operation could be carried out and that if we
01:07:25.260
accept the narrative that this plane was down and that as you said he walked with i don't know broken
01:07:31.500
leg for like two and a half kilometers and then he went up a mountain and all that if we accept
01:07:37.900
all that the amount of equipment and people who are brought in were was was was too much for this
01:07:48.300
you know for this it was the equipment that they had brought in was for an operation now whether
01:07:55.020
that operation was uh can't they they brought it to they they needed these these planes to
01:08:04.780
save him or not um that's a different story but in any case the same people were supposed
01:08:11.340
to carry out this operation and uh the iranians there were iranians there and they ambushed them
01:08:18.300
and one of the planes was struck while it was in the air and a helicopter was struck while it was
01:08:24.100
in the air and they both crash landed and the iranians believed that there were dead soldiers
01:08:31.820
who were dragged onto or or and severely wounded soldiers were dragged onto the planes when they
01:08:38.860
were escaping but the point is that the iranians were very confident that this was this this was
01:08:45.440
more about, these were the people who were supposed to carry out an operation to take
01:08:52.660
Iran's enriched uranium, which, by the way, Iran has the legal right under international law
01:08:57.640
to have, and it would have been, and as I said earlier, Joe Kent said that Iran was not pursuing
01:09:05.680
a nuclear weapon. So, you know, none of this is legitimate. But in any case, this was a failed
01:09:12.280
operation in the sense that there was a lot of damage and that it is believed by the Iranians
01:09:17.720
that these were the people who were planning to carry out an operation to go into Iran's nuclear
01:09:23.460
installations and steal Iran's enriched uranium, which failed. And, you know, again, all of this
01:09:30.560
is for Israel. The United States is wrecking the world economy. It's wrecking its own economy.
0.97
01:09:35.920
It's killing all sorts of Iranians. It's letting the Israelis carpet bomb the Lebanese. And by the
0.95
01:09:41.720
way every day they're also killing um palestinians every day just today because we shouldn't forget
0.56
01:09:49.240
palestine and all this we every day palestinians are being killed today uh just another journalist
01:09:56.800
in palestine was in gaza was assassinated and a journalist in beirut by the way was also murdered
01:10:02.840
by the israeli regime in these airstrikes a woman so um you know this is the united states is doing
0.58
01:10:10.500
all this for the sake of Zionism. And meanwhile, the Zionists, while they're doing all of this in
01:10:16.480
the name of Judaism, they bombed a synagogue in Tehran and completely destroyed it. I mean,
0.79
01:10:22.680
they targeted that synagogue. It's just amazing. Last question. What are your predictions now
1.00
01:10:30.760
amidst the ceasefire, which you're saying has been betrayed? What can we expect with ground
01:10:36.620
troops with how long this war is going to drag out what do you think is going to happen next
01:10:41.920
i think there's a good chance i think there's a significant chance that this war will continue
01:10:50.500
i agree i think that it's increasingly unlikely that the ceasefire will hold
01:10:56.300
iran will not allow iran will not agree to a ceasefire where its allies in lebanon and
01:11:04.420
Gaza and Yemen and Iraq are not included. And right now the Israelis are massacring
01:11:10.320
the Lebanese. So it's falling apart. And as I said, Iran already closed the Strait of Hormuz
01:11:15.460
again. So people should recognize that the Israelis, as I said earlier on, the Israelis are
01:11:20.980
creating a crisis and we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. This is going to crash the global
1.00
01:11:26.780
economy. But the Israelis don't care. And they don't care if it's friend or foe. If it's the
1.00
01:11:32.780
United States and India, which their governments are friends, or most of the global South, which
01:11:38.200
dislike the Israeli regime, they don't care. They'll crash the global economy if it serves
0.92
01:11:44.660
their interests, if it serves their interests. Professor Morani, thank you so much. I appreciate
01:11:51.640
you always. This is a great conversation. It's very late over there. You don't seem to sleep.
01:11:56.280
You're always getting the information out there. You're like the warrior, the sword of Allah when
01:12:02.560
comes to slicing the propaganda from the Epstein empire. So we appreciate your work greatly and I
0.99
01:12:07.360
look forward to speaking to you again in a few days with Professor Jang. Sure, thank you. I mean
01:12:13.680
it's not anything really important when kids in Gaza are being killed every day
01:12:19.280
and people are being starved and you know refuse medicine and people being slaughtered in Iraq and
01:12:26.400
