Iranian diaspora final boss battle
Hosting debate between @sharghzadeh and @MatinSamimiat LIVE on the Drew Pavlou Show this THURSDAY 7 PM Eastern Time. Battle for the ages. Will post the link soon.
“We are launching a White Revolution, not a Red one — a revolution without bloodshed, without class warfare, without destroying the foundations of society.” — The Shah, Mission for My Country, 1961 Red = violent, bloody, Marxist-inspired White = peaceful, pure, bloodless
This university professor just claimed that the Shah of Iran called it the White Revolution because Iranians aspired to Whiteness! You can’t make this up. This is where Sharghzadeh gets his information from I guess. For the record, it was called the White Revolution to…
Today would have been Navid Afkari's 32nd birthday. Navid was not just a champion wrestler, but a young Iranian who took to the streets in 2018 demanding freedom and prosperity for Iran. In 2020, the regime in Iran arrested, tortured, and killed him for voicing that demand.

Matin is a product of his circle, surrounded by unchecked affirmations without ever having his views challenged. There is a reason why he felt confident enough to join this public forum with millions of viewers while having the argumentative skills of a toddler, because he…

I had no idea Rabbi Shmuley had an Iranian background… we definitely don’t claim him 🤮
This guy is so soft! I didn’t even say anything offensive to him. I guess blocking was easier than admitting he was wrong since he dodged every single question. Poor guy.
The majority of Iranians don’t harbor hostility toward Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan (aside from separatist tensions), Turkey, the UAE, or India. So is it really a coincidence that the only nearby country we show the most resentment toward also happens to have…
