"In the Name of Democracy", Indeed!

The Confession that Wasn't!!!!

Kamangir, an Iranian blogger in Canada, has done a superb job of translating another Iranian blogger's post in Iran. The commentary encapsulates the reaction of mainstream Iranians to the recent propaganda piece aired on Iranian National TV. The program intended to convince the Iranians that the U.S. is trying, in the name of democracy, to topple the regime and often uses Iranian-Americans as agents of "Zionists" to achieve her goal. The so-called confessions by Haleh Esfandiari and Kian Tajbakhash and Janhanegloo were so vague and lame that it only proved the ridiculousness of those who orchestrated this nonsensical drama. The program was not only a ruinous flop, it served to brutally shatter so many myths propagated by the IRI for the last 28 years. hahahaha(I'm gloating). Here is the entire thing swiped from Kamangir's blog:

Ten opposition televisions, accompanied by Voice of America, Radio Israel, BBC, etc were unable to carry out what the Islamic Republic television did to itself last night. What was shown clearly advocated for the American administration’s emphasis on spreading democracy and social institutions. The program, at the same time, demonstrated the Islamic Republic’s horror from the youth and the students and their efforts towards goals such as democracy. Nothing could have done all this better than the program the Islamic Republic aired, because of these reasons.

1- The Islamic Republic has been trying for twenty eight years to convince the people that “America cannot do anything”. What channel one showed last night, not only proved this sentence false, but also used several documents to prove that, if the American administration wants, they can overthrow a regime in two hours, as it happened in Kyrgyzstan.

2- Many Iranian do believe in conspiracy theory and have no doubt whatsoever that nothing happens in Iran unless the states and UK want so. The Islamic Republic has tried for twenty eight years to convince the nation that the Islamic Revolution was not an international conspiracy led by Jimmy Carter, as many Iranian think. They have tried to assign the revolution with Godly sources. The last night show utterly emphasized on the American role in toppling regimes and this strengthened the public belief in the importance of American policies. That also contradicted Ahmadinejad repeated claims for American deficiency.

3- What amazes me is that although the Islamic Republic calls itself a master And here is the rest of it.

UPDATE: Haleh Esfandiari's daughter has an op-ed piece in Washington Post, ""My Mother's Interrogators"; In an Iranian Propaganda Broadcast, the Real Guilty Party Is Clear""

UPDATE 1: Why is it that our MSM buy the official line of the corrupt IRI, scripted by MOIS and VEVAK, hook line and sinker? Can't they afford to hire a Persian Translator?
