Iran exposes Washington’s propaganda failures in digital war

 

social media memes internet technology Iran mockery

Iran turns the US’ own media tactics against it, using memes, AI, and viral content to ridicule Washington amid ongoing aggression.

While over 92 million Iranians are bombarded by US-Israeli aggression, Washington continues to mislead the world with staged videos and online narratives. Iran, however, has skillfully turned the US’ propaganda tactics against it, exposing American failures and hypocrisy in the ongoing war.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has taken the lead in challenging US misinformation. Posting in English on X, Ghalibaf highlights the absurdity of Trump’s war messaging and the incompetence of Washington’s military operations.

In one post, he taunted the US by referencing domestic protests: “Welcome to the party we started 47 years ago, No kings,” pointing to the 1979 Islamic Revolution and US failure.

Ghalibaf mocked US claims about aircraft losses from Iranian drones, sarcastically stating: “Sustained only minor damage,” highlighting Washington’s attempts to downplay Iranian capabilities.  (more...)

Flotilla coalition prepares renewed mission to break Gaza siege

 

Global Sumud Flotilla Gaza blockade war crimes Israel Barcelona humanitarian aid

The international flotilla of over 80 boats and 1,000 activists will sail from Barcelona to challenge Israel’s blockade on Gaza and demand humanitarian access

A coalition of pro-Palestine activists announced on 3 April that it will launch a new maritime mission from Barcelona on 12 April to challenge Israel’s blockade on Gaza, according to reports citing statements by the Global Sumud Flotilla.

The group said more than 80 boats and around 1,000 international participants will take part in the initiative in a renewed attempt to reach the besieged enclave by sea. 

It follows a previous high-profile journey across the Mediterranean that drew global attention before Israeli forces illegally intercepted the vessels and detained activists near Gaza.

Organizers said the earlier interception, which involved arrests and reports of physical and psychological torture, came as Gaza faced severe shortages of food, water, medicine, and fuel. 

Jailed activists described being subject to abuses ranging from starvation to physical assault, intimidation, and humiliation.

The new mission carries the same aim of breaking the humanitarian siege on Gaza, as conditions continue to worsen under Israel’s ongoing blockade.  (more...)

Jim Jones: Direct Access to Branham

 

Jim Jones William Branham The Message control authoritarianism access hierarchy Latter Rain

John and Charles examine a preserved letter introducing Jim Jones to William Branham and explore why that correspondence matters. They trace how controlled access, ministerial screeners, private interviews, and a culture of spiritual hierarchy created an environment where influence could move quietly behind the scenes.

The discussion also compares Branham’s inner circle with patterns later visible in Jim Jones’s ministry, including gatekeeping, image management, and the use of trusted intermediaries. Along the way, John and Charles reflect on Joseph Mattsson-Boze’s correspondence, the significance of preserved letters, and what those documents reveal about the relationship between Branham, Jones, and the broader Latter Rain world.

Is Iran the 'Leading State Sponsor of Terrorism?'

 

terrorism US Israel Iran Saudi Arabia Axis of Resistance Yemen CIA Contras

In an attempt to justify and garner popular support for the American-Israeli war on Iran, the Trump administration is pressuring its allied nations to join the US in designating Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps as the world’s greatest sponsor of state terrorism. The administration points to Iran’s participation in the Axis of Resistance, which includes Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Palestine and Ansar Allah in Yemen, as evidence for its position. This raises the question of whether Iran, by supporting proxy organizations, is doing anything differently from what US intelligence agencies have done for many decades.

To answer this question, Chris Hedges speaks with John Kiriakou, a former CIA analyst and counterterrorism operations officer who worked in West Asia. Kiriakou is known for blowing the whistle on the CIA’s torture program, for which he was the sixth person convicted under the Espionage Act. In this interview, Kiriakou makes the distinction between organizations that carry out terrorism and those that are fighting for national liberation from foreign oppressors.

Kiriakou explains that throughout recent history, many countries or organizations backed by the United States have engaged in terrorist acts, and that the US has used the terrorist designation “as a cudgel against countries that we don’t like or whose policies we disagree with,” making the designation lose its meaning.

Hedges and Kiriakou discuss US support for terrorists, including the State of Israel, which Kiriakou calls “an extreme example” of an entity that uses violence, and the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), a “cult” co-founded by Maryam Rahjavi, an Iranian who opposes the Islamic Republic of Iran and who has cultivated strong ties with both Democrats and Republicans in the US.

They conclude the interview with an analysis of the current US-Israel war on Iran and how it plays a part in Israel’s goal to create chaos in the region. Kiriakou laments that the US has missed many opportunities to partner with Iran in curbing terrorism and narcotics production. He warns that the US’ aggression against Iran will likely result in unintended blowback.



USA, Israel or Iran: Who are real TERRORISTS?

 

USA Israel Iran ISIS Al-Qaeda terrorists accusation confession mendacity Trump Israeli Lobby influence

The war on Iran is a unholy ditch being dug by an increasingly incoherent Trump Admin, where it's becoming more obvious that the Israeli Lobby and its agents of influence (led by his own Son-in-law) have seized control of US foreign policy. This is a dead end for US, and for a megalomanic Trump & Co, it's already way too late to exit on the off-ramp. On location in mountains of northern Arizona.



Zionist takeover: Trump’s war on Iran reveals who really dictates US foreign policy

 

Iran Zionists aggression Donald Trump influence capture war

US President Donald Trump’s brazen military assault on Iran – launched at the behest of the Israeli regime – lays bare an unvarnished truth: Zionist interests have effectively captured American foreign policy.

Broader imperial objectives have been sidelined in favor of the settler colony’s agenda.

A group of analysts continues to cling to the notion that the Zionist entity functions as a strategic asset – a forward outpost – for the American Empire. Yet the coordinated strikes on Iranian soil tell a different story. Far from acting as a subordinate ally, Tel Aviv now dictates the terms, with Washington following suit.

This is no simple case of the tail wagging the dog. More accurately, the agents of the tail have not merely tugged at the leash; they have colonized and captured the vital organs of the dog itself, steering the body of American policy toward unnecessary wars that serve a singular, foreign interest over its own imperial interests.

Trump justified the unprovoked and illegal aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran by citing advice from key advisers who convinced him that an attack from Iran was imminent.

In a candid statement captured on video, Trump declared the situation had approached a “point of no return,” based on intelligence from his inner circle. As he explained, the US found it “intolerable,” with figures like Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio insisting that Iran planned to strike the US.

"In my opinion, based on what Steve and Jared and Pete and others were telling me, Marco is also involved, I thought that they were going to attack us. I thought they would. If we didn’t do this at the time we did it, I think they had in mind to attack us," he claimed.  (more...)

Easter restrictions in occupied East Jerusalem spark status quo concerns

 

East Jerusalem Zionists Israel Easter restrictions oppression tyranny

In occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City, Easter celebrations have been largely subdued, with key ceremonies scaled back or cancelled under strict security measures linked to the ongoing war on Iran. Amid the restrictions, there are growing concerns that Israel is gradually eroding the city’s long-standing status quo governing access to its sacred sites.
