I’ve hesitated directly sharing this — outside of a couple RTs — because that’s how I’ve handled it when I’ve been on lists in the past. But I just remembered that kids in elementary school would make fun of me for having a Time Magazine in my backpack

This is a fascinating and *very* weird interview with a strong Freudian bent. Pahlavi calls himself a “father to the nation” and then ends the interview by saying Iran is like a woman who has been raped and that a “woman who has been violated will never be the same woman, ever.”
I spoke to the @WSJ about the Iran protests, the role my compatriots are calling on me to play, and what a free Iran will mean for the world. “I’ve stepped in to lead this transition... It’s about self-determination... freedom... rebuilding our country.” https://t.co/SsMbR972iC

Probably true! Saddam Hussein offered to have Khomeini assassinated but the Shah and Empress said “no” because they didn’t want to turn him into a martyr.
@yashar The Shah’s biggest error was sparing Khomeini’s worthless life.

“Every corner of Iran is chanting for Reza Pahlavi.” 100 videos, 250 videos, 500 videos is not representative of a country of 90 million people.
Some Iranians were excited when @patrickbetdavid interviewed the Crown Prince. I wasn’t. My litmus test has never failed: anyone who claims to care about Iran yet stayed silent while my father was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered is not on the right side. Today, people can

“I’ve stepped in to lead the transition.” My dude, there are nearly 90 million people in Iran — you haven’t stepped foot in the country for 46 years and have not accomplished anything since then other than raise and spend money. And now your minions will attack me in the

Not the same (the Iranian regime is far more brutal than the Turkish one) but a few months ago I found myself having to “rescue” two Turkish graduate students in New York. They were being lectured by a well-meaning American progressive about how life in Turkey is much better than

It’s likely Scientology-tied, which would be a perfect combo for you. Ask Candace’s friend John Mappin, the militant Scientologist, who was the first person to follow the Twitter account and the first person to post the link to the website. As a Scientologist, all of his

“That’s how we got Khomeini.” You got Khomeini because the Shah was a narcissistic and weak fool who fled his country and, prior to that, made error after error that allowed Khomeini to rise. From banning his books in Iran (which revealed his true plans) to thinking it would be

I know what her point was you condescending prick.
@yashar Let me help you Yashar... Just in case you fail to grasp Jill Stein's totally obvious point that the left doesn't have the moral high ground to denounce Trump when it comes to the US government deposing dictators.

Support the Iranian people displaying incredible courage right now! The world needs to pay attention.
If history is any guide, this coming week promises to be a brutal one for Iranians who are fighting in the streets to end the Islamic regime. While the regime has been brutally assaulting — and even murdering —Iranians in the streets, they still have not used even 1% of the

People pointing out to me what Jill Stein’s point was — about imperialism being a bipartisan issue. I know what her point was and I’m saying it’s a bullshit point if you can’t even mention the current guy’s name in your post. If you say a bunch of people’s names that’s a
If you’re posting this in the context of an operation ordered by President Trump, against a man who wasn’t even president of Venezuela when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, then you have Hillary derangement syndrome.
