Really it's not that there are a bunch of mainstream news reporters who are knowingly and deliberately deceiving you. It's that in order to become a mainstream news reporter, you need to plug your mind into an entire power-serving worldview that is not remotely based in truth.

It’s not enough to end lockdown, all those responsible for damages must be held fully accountable. We’re working with lawyers & scientists to ensure this. Soon we’ll be making a big announcement & we’ll need all your support. In the meantime “Where there’s blame there’s a claim”

Reports coming out that Zionist regime has yet again attacked Syria, claiming Iranian forces were massing and had to be attacked. Wouldn’t it be nice if Iran had a strong ally who said “we will not allow Iran to be attacked while pursuing its natural right of self defense”. I wonder where such allies can be found.

Iran FM @JZarif:
"If the US implements its commitments under UNSCR-2231, we'll implement our commitments under the #JCPOA.
This can be done automatically & needs no negotiations.

But if US wants to rejoin the JCPOA,
then we'll be ready to negotiate how US can reenter the deal."

"Biden can lift sanctions by 3 executive orders."

"We don't buy a horse twice & we don't sell it twice either.
The party that can put conditions is Iran.
Iran & 4+1 need to be satisfied with US return to #JCPOA.
the US has no option but to return"

(regarding Biden waiting until after presidential election in Iran to reenter #JCPOA)
"If Americans are wise, they know these kinds of issues happen not merely within the framework of a [single] administration in Iran.
They need not worry about it & they don't. Iran talks started under Ahmadinejad."

"If Mr. #Biden takes office and wants to fulfill the obligations under UNSC Resolution 2231,
we too can immediately and fully return to our obligations under the #JCPOA.
This process is not time consuming at all."

(August 21, 2020) COVID-19’s Toll on People of Color Is Worse Than We Knew
As many as 215,000 more people than usual died in the U.S. during the first seven months of 2020,
suggesting that the number of lives lost to the coronavirus is significantly higher than the official toll.
And half the dead were people of color—Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans and, to a marked degree unrecognized until now, Asian Americans.
With this new data, Asian Americans join Blacks and Hispanics among the hardest-hit communities,
with deaths in each group up at least 30 percent this year compared with the average over the last five years,
the analysis found. Deaths among Native Americans rose more than 20 percent,
though that is probably a severe undercount because of a lack of data. Deaths among Whites were up 9 percent.
The toll on Asian Americans has received far less attention,
perhaps in part because the numbers who have died—about 14,000 more than normal
this year—have been far lower than among several other groups.
Still, the 35 percent increase in Asian American deaths is the second-highest, behind Hispanic Americans.
Another surprise: Only about half of the Asian American deaths have been officially linked to COVID-19, lower than for all other groups.

(October 20, 2020) Big Tech’s aggressive EU lobbying has caused a power shift
Although Europe is known as the most rigorous watchdog of Big Tech,
that reputation is at threat as the tech industry’s aggressive lobbying
in recent years has led to regulations and policies that has seen power shift from states to corporations,
and the wider impact of this is now evident across the continent.
In recent years, the ‘Big Four’ tech companies – Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple
– have increased their lobbying expenditure in the European Union
from a collective €2.8 million in 2013 to €15.25 million in 2018, a 444 percent increase within that period.
The number of lobbyists representing these companies has also seen a drastic rise.
Google went from having just seven declared lobbyists in Brussels in 2013 to 16 according to the most recent figures.
Facebook has gone from eight lobbyists in 2011 to 25,
Amazon from five to ten, and Apple from five to seven.
