"...an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in western branding and mass marketing that, in four countries in four years, has been used to try to salvage rigged elections and topple unsavoury regimes.”


"Brilliant"? hmmm got to say it was a dead give-away (literally) watching the western NGO's attempt a re-run of Edward Berneys' "Torches of Freedom" campaign where he sold the idea of women smoking in public as a gesture of "emancipation" against male oppression: when in fact he was being paid by American Tobacco to introduce them to cancerous addiction.

In Iran they were actually handing out to non-smoking little girls the equivalent of thirty bucks to light up & blow smoke in the faces of the police as provocation.. then to fall on the ground and shout rape and assault if the police actually confronted them about it.
Just wow...cigarettes as " freedom" emulating a campaign from 1929...

-You wonder who came up with this kind of tawdry shit?

I don't suppose it matters because the western press is so desperate to propagandise against Iran: the official enemy, that it seizes on any old wallop & runs with it.

And who falls for it? all these supposed lefty arseholes like Jones bleating on about the "democratic opposition"...jeez, don't they recall it was the same kind of British and Yanqui subversion in Iran : i.e. the very same culprits operating there presently, that removed from power Mohammad Mosaddegh & the only Democratic government that Iran ever had in 1953?
Oh yes; so keen on democracy and freedom were the west that they destroyed it & replaced it with rule by a despotic tyrannical "King".

And who have they got now as the symbol of their western freedom and democracy? Only his fucking feckless son. It's such overtly obvious bullshit, but alas the press keep pressing it out and the public keep swallowing it.
