Warhawks Have Begun BACKTRACKING Their War Support

We have to discuss the uh for lack of a better word charlatans who uh demanded that the United States military bomb their homeland and goated the Trump administration into starting a war with Iran, which has proven to be a disaster for the globe. Uh now they're suddenly doing a PR tour to clear their names and pretend like they never called for war. And uh a Casparian never forgets. So, let's begin with the frizz-haired Iranian dissident that I had the uh fortune of not even knowing anything about uh until this year. So, uh this is the person I'm talking about, Masi Ali Nad. She apparently went on uh Voice of America Farsy to say quote, "I do not belong to the group of opposition that romanticized the war and I kissed the hands of my critics." Oh, fascinating. You kiss the hand of your critics. Now, I really had no idea who this woman was. never heard of her before until suddenly one day my phone is blowing up with hate messages from the Iranian diaspora and they are vicious. Very very vicious. I'm like what? Why are they attacking me? Like I I've got no hate for Iranians. Are you kidding me? Well, it's because of something I said on the Pierce Morgan show. And apparently this woman, MSI, uh, saw what I said and decided to put out a video of her own. And I think it's important to watch this video because it gives you a sense of what she was demanding that she now claims she never romanticized. She never wanted. Let's take a look. >> Okay. But regime change should not be spurred by the United States and Israel which wants to install hate the regime in Iran. You don't hate the Islamic Republic. You hate us. You hate every single woman who get beaten up, who go to prison, who get lashes for the crime of just simply dressing like you. You hate us because you give misinformation to international community right now. Absolutely. darkness in Iran because of the internet shut down. Iranians had no voices. But you go on Iran uh on on on Iran talking everywhere to the national media and giving wrong information. >> I have never gone on Iran media. I don't know what she's talking about there. That was Pierce Morgan. Uh I believe he's based in the United States these days. Uh or the UK. Uh, but either way, I mean, obviously very triggered by me saying that the United States should not militarily pursue regime change in Iran, which can only mean one thing. She desperately wanted the US military to invade her homeland, which means she was calling for war. That's what she was calling for. All right. So, um, she can try to launder her reputation and her image as much as she wants, but we'll never forget her behavior, her demands, or the fact that she directed all these unhinged lunatics to harass me for no reason other than I don't want the military that my tax dollars fund to go attempt to do a regime change war in a country that has a formidable military, that has a mountainous country that's uh, you know, difficult to fight a ground operation. in you know like I've thought about these things but straw manning me and alleging that I hate Iranians is one of the most disgusting propagandastic garbage statements I've ever heard. There is no proof behind that whatsoever. But uh I want to read from another Iranian because I want to just remind you all um as much as our media recycles lunatics like that woman in TV shows, interviews, whatever, she is not res representative of the majority of the Iranian diaspora. And I'll get to that in just a minute. Uh but this is what Trita Parsy had to say after he saw the uh recent statements uh from her. Few Iranian-American voices have been as supportive of bombing Iran or as aggressive in defaming opponents of war as Masi Ali Nad. But now that it's clear that the war has been a disaster, she predictably backtracks and tries to portray herself as a victim. But her contemptable role will not be forgotten. Casparians never forget. Parsies never forget. I love it. She betrayed two people here. The Iranian people whose blood is on her hands and the American people whose military she treated as her private mercenary army. I love Trita so much. She is absolutely right. Co-founder of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Now, what's particularly disgusting is how corporate and legacy media in the United States, uh, you know, used her specifically over and over again as the representation of how the entire Iranian diaspora felt about US intervention in Iran. They all want it. They're all demanding it, right? But no, nothing could be further from the truth. Now, before the war started, there was a near even split among the Iranian diaspora in regard to war with Iran. About half of them thought it was a good idea. Half of them did not think it was a good idea. But you never heard the voices of Iranian Americans who thought it was a bad idea. They were not on CNN, okay? They were not invited onto Pierce Morgan show. Just keeping it real, Pierce. You know, I love doing your show. I'll come on as long as I'm available anytime. But open up the dialogue, open up the discussion, okay? Because women like her are not the only ones um who are speaking for Iranians. There are Iranians who disagree with her and they deserve to be heard as well. Uh now those were the numbers before before the war started. What about after the war started? Well, um, NYAK or NIA, uh, worked with, I believe, Zagby, if I'm not mistaken, uh, in order to do a poll after the war started, and they found that 66.1% of Iranian Americans either strongly or somewhat opposed the US war on Iran. It's a pretty high number, isn't it? And it was Zagby, just to be clear. Okay. Now, what American media also fails to disclose is that Masi Alina Jad is a US government operative. She's paid by the United States government. It's never disclosed. Never disclosed. Uh but I did a little bit of digging and back in 2020, Eli Clifton from Responsible Statecraft did a fantastic job carefully disclosing what our media refused to do. So, let's take a look at this. So this is the name of the piece that he published. I highly recommend you read the whole thing. It's titled US media outlets failed to disclose US government ties of Iranian journalist echoing Trump talking points. Remember this is in January of 2020. This is before you know the COVID pandemic really popped off. So just imagine like where we were as a country back then. So, she apparently works as an anchor, writer, reporter for Voice of America: Persian Service, a US government-owned television network broadcasting to Iranians. according to a publicly available description of her federal contract reviewed by responsible statecraftraft. She if she is actually an operative of a government, including our own government, especially when she's pretending to speak on behalf of the Iranian people, maybe our media needs to disclose that information. No. She re uh she received more than $35,000 in contracts for her work at Voice of America Persia between May of 2015 and September of 2019. Now on Twitter uh or ex she describes herself on her profile as an Iranian journalist and activist, but she makes no mention of her work with the US government in manufacturing consent for the war that we're currently involved in. Now, she's not the only member of the Iranian diaspora who has uh proven to be a charlatan. Let's go to let's go to our next one. And the person I'm talking about here, of course, is Reza Palvy. So, in early April, a clip from an interview featuring exiled crown prince Resa Palie caught my attention. So, for the audio audience, I promise you I will read what he says verbatim after the video. So, let's take a look first. I'd say we never sought military intervention in our country. That's what Resa Palvie said with a straight face. I'd say we never sought military intervention in our country. But let's not forget this regime brought our country to the point where we had to endure attacks from the Israelis and Americans. What? You think we're dumb? He thinks we're dumb. These people think we're dumb. It was like yesterday you were doing press conferences and interviews and like social media videos calling for war. That's what you were doing. I will be the interim leader dictator. Uh I will uh foster democracy even though I haven't lived in Iran for like 48 years. Who who even are you, bro? Like uh you know nothing about Iran. you haven't lived there in decades. What are you talking about? But, you know, he saw an opportunity to um essentially be installed as the leader of Iran. And did he call for war? Yeah. Yeah, he did call for war. He's a liar to say the least. So, here's an interview he did with Maria Baron Romo on Fox Business back in January. I want to get your take on these threats from the Iranian uh Kmeni regime saying that they will target US military bases in the Middle East should the Trump administration get involved here. Are you expecting the administration, do you want to see the administration go into Iran and take out Kmeni? And what about the threats that they will hit back at our military installations in the Middle East? Look, the people in of Iran have responded and reacted positively to a promise of intervention by the president and his administration that if the regime turns their gun and continue massacring its own people, that will not remain unanswered. That's the ask on the ground. We need to make sure that this time the Iranian people are successful. That kind of assistance will go a long way in letting the Iranian people prevail in this war that we have against this regime. And we need to cut the stakes head off for good. So it can no longer be a threat to Iranian interest, to American interest, to regional interest. And the only solution is to make sure that this regime goes down for good. Oh, you're speaking on behalf of the Iranian people. The Iranian people were begging to be bombed. Is that what they were asking for? That's what he said in January. And then just a few weeks ago, he says, "I'd say we never sought military intervention in our country, but let's not forget this regime brought our country to the point where we had to endure attacks from the Israelis and Americans. Total clown show. Clown." And look, who can blame the brother, right? I mean, hasn't earned a thing in his life, you know, living the good life here in the United States. I think he's in the East Coast somewhere. Who knows? Who cares? And, you know, he finally had an opportunity to be something. And he talks about it in this next clip. >> The Iranian people have called on me to lead the transition after the regime is gone. I have accepted that responsibility. Did you? Did they? What a clown. Now, later in that same interview I showed you earlier where he claims they never wanted military intervention, he also said this. The rest is up to the Iranians. When will the Iranian people rise up? Everyone is asking. This piece of crap took a huge role in getting his homeland bombed in getting an ele school full of little girls bombed. Double tapped. Actually, 175 people killed. Of those 175, 168 children, elementaryaged children. Scum of the earth. That's what he is. He's scum. Are they liberated? Are those little girls liberated? I'm just wondering what Reza Palvi has to say about that. Finally, that leads to the uh final charlatan I'd like to discuss, and that's um one of the dumber ones, if you can believe it, Elica Leon, uh who seemed to put the onus on the Iranian people, much like Palvie, uh because it turns out that dropping bombs on on them isn't enough. Now, in this next video, she it's a little bit of a word salad. I get it, but you have to listen till the end. Take a look. I don't think that there's ever been a time where war by itself would affectuate regime change. There are other things that need to sort of unite like for example uprisings um defections within the ranks and the person that has mostly largely been responsible for that is the crown prince resopi. So when he called people out into the streets in January they went out in their millions. When the internet got shut down his views went down in the millions. So there was a a strong evidence that there was a strong connection there. And so I think where this war has gone sort of been negligent is in not pulling in the other actors that would affectuate regime change. Right. Also, Resa Pavi, I think there's I can't I can't say the numbers for sure, but I think there's like 150,000 uh people within the ranks that are looking to defect to him. And so >> what what are you basing that on? But how do we know that? That's >> his team says that. >> How do we know? I mean, I I can only tell you what his team says. his his team said that the guy who wants to be the the dictator of a country he hasn't lived in for 48 years told you that there's 150,000 members of the Iranian military who want to defect and join his ranks and you just you just repeat it you just regurgitate it and I'm supposed to believe her when she tells me that 35,000 Iranians were gunned down by the IRGC during those protests. No way. There's no way. There is no freaking way. So, be careful who you trust. Be careful who engages in emotional manipulation to get you to sign on to things like war because it's allegedly going to liberate people. War doesn't liberate people. Dropping bombs on people's heads, destroying their hospitals, their mosques, their schools, that doesn't liberate them. That terrorizes them. That kills them. That tortures them. The only way that you get actual change in any society, in any country, isn't through a foreign country coming in and messing things up and deciding for you who your leader should be. The only way you change things for the better is through organizing and through organic organic movement, organic uprisings that foreign countries are not meddling in. So my heart goes out to all the Iranian people, the civilians who are living a hell right now mostly because of US involvement. It's awful and I feel shame about it all the time because this is my government. Well, one thing that I'll ask is please don't mistake uh the depraved US government and its actions for the American people. Yeah, some percentage of Americans wanted this, but if you look at the numbers, a huge majority of Americans did not want this, did not think it was a good idea. But we don't live in a democracy. Our voices don't matter, and our government is going to carry out war whether we like it or not. It would be really helpful if we didn't have these little disinformation merchants running around acting like the charlatans that they are to manufacture consent for a war that only makes people's lives worse. >> Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
