Yeah, that's not, that's not happening. The Iranian people, they're, they're out in the streets showing a solidarity every night, even while we bomb them. So that's actually what's happening. Imagine if somebody was bombing our country. Could you imagine people would be like, yes, keep bombing our country because we don't like our governments. As much as the Democrats and Rachel Maddow and Liz Cheney hate Donald Trump, I don't even think they would be cheering on, bombing our own country to get a regime change in the United States. Some Curtis factions are responding to the remarks from President Trump. We did not receive any weapons during the time of the demonstrations in Iran. That's the PDKI representative to the USA told Fox News. Fox also reached out to additional Kurdish parties for comment. So sounds like Trump's making this up. It's incredible that Trump would admit to this because the Iran killed peaceful protesters narrative was pretty much the only moral fig leaf the pro war camp could still hide behind. In effect, he's confirming, no, I assure you, my war is 100% indefensible, zero moral basis whatsoever. That's basically what he's saying. It's also yet another immensely depressing illustration of the extent to which we're still all manipulated by the media. Which mainstream outlet globally questioned the peaceful protesters framing? Well, no, no mainstream outlet. We did it immediately here, of course. Other places in the gray zone. Max Blumenthal. Which mainstream outlet globally? None. The Iranian government kept saying this wasn't true, but which outlet even entertained the possibility that they, that the Iranians were telling the truth? I can't think of one. And he goes on, not one, not one mainstream news outlet. As far as I could see, this was universally dismissed as Iranian propaganda. As is sadly, almost always the case. The media just ran the US State Department script. The Iranian regime is massacring innocent civilians for wanting freedom. Remember, that's what George Bush and Dick Cheney used to say when they wanted to go into, they hate us for our freedom. Really. Maybe they hate us because we've been overthrowing their governments, installing puppet Dictators that oppress their people. You think maybe that's why. Maybe that's why they hate us, because we're propping up a genocidal regime in Israel. You think maybe that's why they. You think maybe because we did an occupation of Afghanistan for 20 years, you think maybe that's it? How about we overthrew their government in Iran in 1953 and then installed the Shah of Iran, who was a horrible, brutal dictator? Maybe that's why the re the ridiculously cartoonish narrative that women just want to show their hair and get killed for that. Except we now have the President of the United States confirming that the protesters were in fact sent a lot of guns, making them actual US Armed insurgents. Imagine if you lived. Imagine if Iran. If we found out that there were protesters who were shooting cops in the United States, they were burning down churches in the United States. Imagine if Iran was sending. We found out they were sending the protesters who were shooting cops in the United States and burning down churches. Imagine if we found out Iran sent them the guns to do it. Imagine that. How would we respond? Imagine that. Except now we have the President of the United States confirming that the protesters were in fact sent a lot of guns. Hopefully it finally shames the media into doing the bare minimum that is their actual job. Treat Western government claims with the same skepticism they reflexively apply to official enemies. But I'm not holding my breath. I'm not holding my breath either. The US media is 100% Zionist, captured and also captured by our own State Department and our own military industrial complex, as is msnbc. They're called Ms. Now, which stands for multiple Sclerosis Now. So, yeah, so there it is. Uh, we already covered that. The New York Times admitted it. We already covered that. Israel actually admitted it. But now we are covering that. Donald Trump is saying it out loud in front of cameras, into microphones. So the whole idea, the whole moral justification for doing anything we're doing over there is completely out the window because we were the ones causing the riots. We were the ones instigating them, and then we were the ones arming them. Imagine. I just can't just. Just imagine for a second if, if that was reversed, that there were armed protests in the United States, shooting cops, burning churches down, and we found out Iran was setting. But just imagine that. Do you think that would make us want to go, oh, yeah, thanks. Thanks for helping overthrow our government? No. So the idea that Iran wants us. People of Iran want us to do this is sophomore at best and just a Clown show. It's just war propaganda. And it is the thing that is sad, as Arnold points out, that people still fall for it. What do you. When are people going to stop falling for this? They, they. I thought it was over with Iraq. I thought there when we said that Saddam Hussein was a threat and he could send a nuclear bomb towards our way and he's got weapons of mass destruction and we found out that was all lies. I thought that was the end of it. But it wasn't because Barack Obama went and did it to Libya. Oh, oh, Gaddafis. He's slaughtering his own people. We, we have to go save them. I thought it would be over then or same thing with Syria. Oh, Assad is slaughtering his own people. We have to go save them. And the way we save them is we, we, we b backed Al Qaeda and now Al Qaeda is in charge of Syria. That's how we saved them. I thought that would be over. It's not. I thought it would be over when people would saw this genocide in Gaza that we supported, funded and made possible. And all the lies that we said surrounding that, you know, the, the head, the, the beheaded babies and all the grapes that happened on October 7th and all that stuff, it's not. It's amazing how well it still works, how people are still so willing to accept this kind of propaganda. It's, it's, it's mind boggling to me that Americans are still so willing to hate on people who never did anything to them and believe the worst things about them, even though they've been shown for at least the last 25 years how unbelievably evil. Bellicose. There's that word again. Our own government is and how they, how everything they say about war with the Middle east countries is just a lie. I don't know if you guys remember, this was a very famous video that went wrong and this is a, an Israeli stealing land from a Palestinian. And he's basically saying if, if I don't do it, somebody else will. Let's see. Jakob, you know this is not your house. Yes, but if I go, you don't go back. So what's the problem? Why are you yelling at me?
