In early January, Mossad and CIA assets armed radical opposition members in Iran to undertake an armed insurrection in which 3,000 people (on all sides) lost their lives. There\u2019s plenty of video evidence for that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">2. That was turned into a fake massacre story of 30,000 or 50,000 or 70,000 victims, by so called \u201cactivist groups\u201d, widely quoted, as fact, by the western mainstream media\u2014although no evidence was provided. A simple investigation shows that every single one of these groups can be traced back to the US or its \u201cfive eyes\u201d partners, the UK and Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">3. The western mainstream started pushing the fake story by quoting from a group called <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Human_Rights_Activists_in_Iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Human Rights in Iran<\/a><\/span>, which is not in Iran\u2014it\u2019s from Virginia, home of the CIA, and is financed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/dingo.news\/voice\/the-national-endowment-for-democracy-what-it-is-and-what-it-does-ministry-of-foreign-affairs-the-peoples-republic-of-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">NED<\/span><\/a>, the CIA\u2019s soft-power spin off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">4. The fake news was backed up by a group called the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/iranhumanrights.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Center for Human Rights in Iran<\/a><\/span>, which is also NOT in Iran, and is also in the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">5. Another group, <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iranintl.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iran International<\/a><\/span>, can be traced back to the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">6. Then there was the <a href=\"https:\/\/humanrightsintl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">International Center for Human Rights<\/span><\/a>, which turned out to be in Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">7. Still other sources backing the fake massacre turned out to be supporters of America\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/christianbaghai.medium.com\/reza-pahlavi-the-insulter-of-iran-18e3c3259f25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Reza Pahlava<\/span><\/a> (Juan Guaido II), such as the one quoted by Time magazine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">8. The most quoted person on western mainstream television is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastmonitor.com\/20260323-cheerleader-of-us-israeli-war-make-u-turn-as-assault-devastates-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Masih Alinejad<\/span><\/a>, who said \u201cmillions\u201d were massacred. She worked for many years as a full-time anti-Iran propagandist, with financing from the <a href=\"https:\/\/dingo.news\/voice\/the-national-endowment-for-democracy-what-it-is-and-what-it-does-ministry-of-foreign-affairs-the-peoples-republic-of-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">NED<\/span><\/a> and a salary from Voice of America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">9. The fake tale was further pushed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranrights.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Bouramond Center for Human Rights<\/span><\/a>, another group financed by the NED,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">10. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.tavaana.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Tavaana<\/span><\/a>, started by the US State Department and financed by <a href=\"https:\/\/crescent.icit-digital.org\/articles\/anti-iran-vermin-crawl-out-of-usaid-ball-of-worms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">USAID<\/span><\/a>, a notorious group that disguises CIA politicking as aid. Those are the facts. Now here\u2019s the key question: why does every western mainstream media group, not most, but\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">Every.

We have to question the information being fed to us, ask who is behind it, whose interests it serves, and what political agenda may be shaping the story. Because when propaganda is dressed up as credible journalism, it can be used to mislead the public, weaken independent thinking, undermine governments, and reinforce imperial power under the cover of news. | <a class=\"css-175oi2r r-1wbh5a2 r-dnmrzs r-1ny4l3l r-1loqt21\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Spearhead_Af\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-dnmrzs r-1udh08x r-1udbk01 r-3s2u2q r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">The Spearhead<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-dnmrzs r-1udh08x r-1udbk01 r-3s2u2q r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Related<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><div class=\"ose-mintpress-news ose-uid-adeeea94fa7b6cde412dda24eb970172 ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:600px; height:550px; max-height:550px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\" data-embed-type=\"SelfHosted\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"gOP6SF0OTP\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mintpressnews.com\/revealed-the-cia-backed-think-tanks-fueling-the-iran-protests\/290638\/\">Revealed: The CIA-Backed NGOs Fueling The Iran Protests<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" title=\"&#8220;Revealed: The CIA-Backed NGOs Fueling The Iran Protests&#8221; &#8212; MintPress News\" sandbox=\"allow-modals allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mintpressnews.com\/revealed-the-cia-backed-think-tanks-fueling-the-iran-protests\/290638\/embed\/#?secret=gOP6SF0OTP\" width=\"600\" height=\"550\" data-secret=\"gOP6SF0OTP\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"600\" marginheight=\"550\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\/*!
