US propaganda against Iran is being disguised as ordinary news, says political activist Dr. William Wedin. He claims the US mainstream media intentionally depicts Iran as a war-like nation composed of mad mullahs.

Dr. Wedin says the presidential elections in Iran could complicate America’s aim to wage war on Iran.

“If it goes with [Mir-Hossein] Mosavi it will make things more difficult for Washington and Israel to pursue a war-like policy towards Iran. Last week Daniel Pipes, one of the major neo-conservatives here [in the US] said quite openly that he wanted [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad to win. If we go back to the presidential election of 2005 [in Iran], [American president George] Bush attempted to influence that election in the direction of pushing Ahmadinejad into office by telling the [Iranian] reformists: in effect it makes no difference if you go, everything is rigged, you might as well stay home.”

I agree, I am a proud American but go to Russia Today to get my news as it is more truth. American Media in my eyes cannot be trusted to tell the entire story. As I have discovered and became thoroughly upset at before.

The Ultra-Rich are running scared that countries like Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Cuba, etc etc are challenging the world domination by the USA, Israel and Western Europe... so, they hope that warmongering / hatemongering / fearmongering will keep them in power... POOR DESPERATE PEOPLE and INDIGENOUS PEOPLE around the world are gradually winning some power, hence, the Genie is out of the bottle... it is only FAIR that the oppressed masses will start seeing sunshine...

The "US-MEDIA" is not news. It is a corporate power which sells the brand terrorism because it is the most lucrative commodity that has been tested over time to reap obscene profits. Furthermore, it is not in the US, actually. The "Media Giants" are indeed these corporations who are owned by a select number of families and these families are found in the western world and the westernized Asian world. This living off the horror of non-stop sales via technology, is a harvesting of the mind, in essence. A high crime against all humanity and how to sue these miscreants - global citizens they want, then why not global partners in an international law suit against the "news" for covering up the chemicals in our skies and but of course, global terrorism without end.
