Tehran TV Loves Ron Paul
by Kenneth R. Timmerman on January 9, 2012
The Iranian regime’s English language propaganda channel, PressTV, has discovered a new American idol: presidential contender Rep. Ron Paul.
PressTV has stepped up its coverage of Paul’s campaign to win the Republican presidential nomination in recent weeks, featuring his anti-Israel rants, his claim that sanctions against Iran are “acts of war,” his approval of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and much more.
The Iranian government channel portrays Ron Paul as an American hero, and brings on conspiracy theorists masquerading as political “analysts” to laud him for “challenging the American establishment” and the “corporate neo-conservative Zionist consensus,” that cabal of Jews, banksters, and Reagan Democrats who in Tehran’s eyes (and in the eyes of these Ron Paul supporters) run the world.
It’s a script taken almost word-for-word from the infamous anti-Semitic forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
No contemporary U.S. political leader has been so in sync with Tehran as Ron Paul. Here are just a few of the recent Ron Paul sound bites on Iran and U.S. policy toward Iran prominently featured by PressTV:
“Just think of how many nuclear weapons surround Iran. The Chinese are there, the Indians are there, the Pakistanis are there, the Israelis are there, the United States is there. All these countries—China has nuclear weapons! Wouldn’t it be natural that they might want a weapon? Internationally, they’d be given more respect… They have no evidence that they are working on a weapon. “Paul blasts US policy on Iran, Aug. 12, 2011.
“I think we’re looking for trouble because we put these horrendous sanctions on Iran… Sanctions against Iran are definite steps toward a US attack.” “Iran sanctions ‘acts of war’: Ron Paul,” Dec. 31, 2011; “Ron Paul raps US hostility toward Iran,” Jan. 7, 2012.
“Iran’s leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, had never mentioned any intention of wiping Israel off the map.” Quick Facts: Ron Paul on US Foreign Policy, Dec. 24, 2011.
“Iran is not a physical threat to us. They do not have capabilities. The stories you might hear about them being on the verge of a nuclear weapon is not true by our CIA and by the United Nations. They are not on the verge of it.” Quick Facts: Ron Paul on US Foreign Policy, Dec. 24, 2011.
“Who are they [Iran] going to bomb? If they had one or two bombs, they are going to bomb Israel? Israel has 300 of them! And our submarines all around there passing and everything else.” Quick Facts: Ron Paul on US Foreign Policy, Dec. 24, 2011.
“I think they’re acting in self-defense… That is a gross distortion of this debate that they’re on the verge of a nuclear weapon.” Ron Paul defends his anti-war policies, Dec. 16, 2011
“At least our leaders and Reagan talked to the Soviets. What is so terribly bad about this? Countries you put sanctions on, you are more likely to fight them. I say a policy of peace is free trade, stay out of their internal business. Do not get involved in these wars and bring our troops home.” Ron Paul blasts US policy on Iran, Aug. 12, 2011
Anti-Israel theme:
The Tehran regime owns PressTV and controls its content, so its emphasis on finding politicians and “experts” who oppose any form of pressure on Iran is understandable. Some readers, however, may find its proclivity for airing anti-Semitic and anti-Israel rants more troublesome.
Many of Ron Paul’s talking points get repeated by the pro-Tehran conspiracy theorists who populate the PressTV airwaves. In the oxygen-free reaches they appear to inhabit, Ron Paul would become the next president of the United States if only the “Zionist lobby” would let him win.
“Paul is pulling around second in Iowa and is being considered a very serious contender by many,” a PressTV anchorwoman says. Then in all seriousness, she asks Mark Dankof, a self-declared political analyst, “Will the Zionist lobby let him win?”
Dankof, who is a frequent guest on PressTV shows, explains that Ron Paul will lose because of the Jews. “If Paul should be successful early on in a couple of primaries or a couple of caucuses then I think the shrill voices in the Israeli-controlled American media will begin to become more aggressive in attacking him,” he says. Zionist lobbies demonizing Ron Paul, Dec. 3, 2011
PressTV touts Dankof as a “former U.S. Senate candidate,” a “political commentator,” or “political analyst” as a way of plumping his resumé. The subterfuge is typical, and Dankof is reliably pro-Tehran, pro-Ron Paul and anti-American—lumping Barack Obama in the same basket as George W. Bush.
But what about his credential as a former U.S. Senate candidate? Dankof claims on his website that he was the “nominated candidate of the Constitution party” in Delaware in 2000. It turns out, however, that the Constitution Party never held a formal nominating process or a party primary, and that Dankof essentially nominated himself to run in that year’s U.S. Senate race.
“Anybody can be a candidate just by filing the forms,” said Howard Phillips, Conservative Party founder and long-time standard bearer. “Mark was never anointed by the Constitution Party; he decided to run by himself.”
Dankof is typical of the type of rabidly anti-Israel, borderline anti-Semitic commentators PressTV relies on. Other regulars include the likes of Philip Giraldi, an ex-CIA officer who regularly denounces Israeli policies as “manifestly evil;” Paul Sheldon Foote, who promotes Holocaust deniers; and a bevy of left-wing, “anti-war” bloggers and 9/11 “truthers.”
Nisa Islam Mohammad, a staff writer for the Nation of Islam’s Final Call newspaper and a member of the Washington Association of Black Journalists, devoted an entire 25-minute segment of her “American Dream” magazine show to the Zionist lobby effort to “destroy” Ron Paul.
“Texas Congressman Ron Paul is campaigning to become the president of America,” she starts off. “But you might not know that if you just watch mainstream media. Why is he omitted? Why wasn’t he invited to the Republican Jewish Coalition’s forum for presidential candidates?”
The answers, of course, can be found in the title of her show. Why Israel lobby and neocons hate Ron Paul, Dec. 26, 2011
To Tehran’s conspiracy-minded political leaders, Ron Paul is a natural ally.

Although this author didn't use same reasoning againt Ron Paul supporters while formulating his theory as Trump did when he called Pat Buchanan and Ilhan Omar 'anti-semitic' over their criticism of Israel lobby's role in US politics.
If this is true, it certainly flew under the radar. And if true, it’s amazing. This would have been a secret held by Obama and Hillary for over 9 years.
Interesting article. It’s from 2014, but I don’t recall this hypothesis about the Iranians being involved in the Benghazi attack. A search in the forum doesn’t bring up anything ever being posted here about Suleymani being involved.
Some hits on Iran and Benghazi, but none in any detail. This certainly flew under the radar.
The Soviets?
And that would be revealing, considering Jared Kushner’s extremely close relationship with the Saudi Royal family.
EM.
Interesting hypothesis but could it missing a big name that has a history of false flag attacks with aim to keep US/Western militaries engaged in forever mideast occupations and wars and some of whose domestic supporters have discussed assassinations of US President whom they perceived to be too 'pro Iran'?
Israel honors terrorists who bombed US-UK civilian buildings with aim to blame attacks on 'Muslim Brotherhood' and induce military occupations in mideast
The Lavon Affair refers to a failed Israeli covert operation, code named Operation Susannah, conducted in Egypt in the Summer of 1954. As part of the false flag operation, a group of Egyptian Jews were recruited by Israeli military intelligence to plant bombs inside Egyptian, American and British-owned civilian targets, cinemas, libraries and American educational centers. The attacks were to be blamed on the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian Communists, "unspecified malcontents" or "local nationalists" with the aim of creating a climate of sufficient violence and instability to induce the British government to retain its occupying troops in Egypt's Suez Canal zone.
After Israel publicly denied any involvement in the incident for 51 years, the surviving agents were officially honored in 2005 by being awarded certificates of appreciation by Israeli President Moshe Katzav.

And the way Trump has being posting tweets as threats agaisnt Iran on Twitter just how weak of mentally Trump has as President. What his going to do if his debated by Biden or others? whoever gets the tie agaisnt him for Nov?
Will Trump just throw insults?
Trump seems to have become a part of the swamp which he claimed he wanted to clean. But on the bright side you guys have nutcases John Bolton backing ya on the Iranian issue!
What Trump is about to do in the middle east will be sending a single and message to Traffickers and criminals of the underground.
And any real investigation would reveal that they were arming ISIS.
So Iran was just trying to stop the people who were supplying the Syrian Rebels(ISIS, FSA, etc)? Which was our CIA....
We shouldn't have been supplying the rebels
True.So Iran was just trying to stop the people who were supplying the Syrian Rebels(ISIS, FSA, etc)? Which was our CIA....
We shouldn't have been supplying the rebels
True.
But Iran has been killing our people and we don't have to put up with it.
They are far from being "the good guys".
Hundreds of our soldiers in Iraq among many others.Who have they killed?
Hundreds of our soldiers in Iraq among many others.
They supplied the EFPs and funded and organized terrorist groups in Iraq.Prove it.
They supplied the EFPs and funded and organized terrorist groups in Iraq.
They admit to it.

We should not have them there but that doesn't mean we should do nothing when someone else who doesn't belong there kills them.And why are the military and Blackwater contractors in Iraq in the first place? Like Rand Paul says they're sitting targets.
