In his February 4th post, "What comes next in Iran," Seymour Hersch again slides into the slime of western propaganda, which claims that those were "peaceful protesters" in Iran. The facts of the matter a very different, as I have previously written in Iran "Protests" Explainer.
The well-trained black-clothed rioters certainly were not local peoples. This was a well-orchestrated "soft power" regime destabilization event, backed by 10 international organizations. This is NOT a human-rights issue; it, like all wars, is about oil ” in this case, trying to cut off the flow of heavy crude to China (as was done with Venezuela), as a preliminary "diminishing" of China preparatory for the long-planned attack on China. The world doesn't need more imperialism, America needs to stay in their lane.
This Hersch article follows his previous wallow in propaganda in his article on Russia titled "Putin's Long War," in which he claims Russia's economy is failing. This was fully debunked by Scott Ritter's reply "Getting it Wrong on Russia," and follow-up "Getting it Wrong on Russia (the footnote)."
If we want the official Western Propaganda, we have volumes of MSM publications available, we don't need it being parroted by formerly good journalists.
