Dr. Oz, today at 1300 hours.

How does that contradict what I said? Until it's put to trial successfully, with full information and prosecutions of some very, very well known people, they all got away with it.

Come on, you know you're moving the goalposts here. There's a big difference between "no visibility, nobody in the media will talk about it" and "in the media constantly but Epstein's friends don't get prosecuted".

The difference is much more stark than that. Iran has murdered perhaps a thousand protestors in the last year. [1]

> "Verified video footage indicates severe violence was used against protesters, including armed members of security forces shooting from the roof of a justice department building in one city, and from helicopters in another," Bachelet said in a statement. "We have also received footage which appears to show security forces shooting unarmed demonstrators from behind while they were running away, and shooting others directly in the face and vital organs – in other words shooting to kill."

There is no equivalency here at all. Iran is a failed and murderous regime.

Here’s hoping that Iran’s disastrous response and capitulation in the face of the US killing Suleimani will weaken the Ayatollah enough in the eyes of the people and provoke further rebellion. The Iranian people have incredible potential but they have been choked under the boot of Khamenei for so long.

That's the soft power part. We are "free" in the West!

I also like that you quoted me with

> "no visibility, nobody in the media will talk about it"

And I didn't write that.

You said this, which is pretty much the same.
