Shame on the cowardly European mainstream media

Monday-Tuesday blog

In this blog, I attach a link to a 4-minute video talk given by the son of the former Shah of Iran. I realise that the former Shah wasn’t a terribly nice chap and not the kind of person you’d invite home to meet your mum and dad. After all, he rather liked having his secret police arresting, torturing and killing political opponents. But his son, Reza Pahlavi, seems like a decent sort and is probably the only figure who can help oversee the transition of Iran from an Islamic hell-hole to a modern democracy if the crazed mad mullahs and the IRGC can be overthrown.

I noticed a BBC report a few days ago in which the BBC correspondent claimed to be interviewing ‘ordinary Iranians’. Of course, all those interviewed said that they were against the war and that Donald Trump and the Americans were to blame. What the BBC didn’t mention was that, if those interviewed failed to declare their undying support for the mad mullahs and IRGC, they would be arrested, tried and hanged. The thought of a hangman’s noose is an excellent way to encourage loyalty.

I think I have also heard several BBC contributors refer to the IRGC as the “Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps” rather than the real title – “The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps“. This is quire a subtle way of the BBC’s quisling, Islamophiliac, Israel-hating garbage gaslighting us. The BBC may be trying to make it look like the murderous, corrupt IRGC are some kind of patriotic Iranian military force rather than an oppressive, fanatical and dangerous bunch of terrorists.

But the real problem with almost all western media reporting of the Iran conflict is probably Trump Derangement Syndrome. The media constantly claims that Trump has blundered, that Trump has started a “forever war” (it has only been going about 7 weeks), that the IRGC are winning etc etc etc. Our media seems to have brushed aside the slaughter of 5,000 or 10,000 or 20,000 or more innocent protestors in the streets of Iran’s cities and in hospitals because, when you loathe Trump (as most of our media do), the massacre of so many innocent Iranians is not something you wish to focus on.

Anyway, here’s Reza Pahlavi expressing his fury at the biased way western journalists are reporting the Iran conflict:
