She is correct and also does a hell of a job speaking while being removed.

I live in Iran and I can say for certain that these sanctions do NOT hurt the mullahs and the ruling elite. They control the borders, they control what gets in and set the prices. In the period btw 2011-2015 they increased the prices of essential goods and drugs by more than 100%
-
As a result they became MEGA rich. Any Iranian living in Tehran and other big cities can attest to a surge in the number of luxury cars on the streets. They built catles for themselves and their children. Acquired foreign passports. Bought properties abroad.
-
The sanctions also help the ruling elite ideologically. It gives them an excuse to suppress the opposition who wants a more open relationship with the world and brand them as traitors to the revolution. It gives them an excuse to jail investigative journos who expose them
-
And brand them as agents of foreign powers. Western leaders have no clue about just how much we suffer. Right now there is a shortage of diapers and pads in Iran. Not directly bc of sanctions but bc someone in power is taking advantage of people's fears. They have *created*
-
This shortage in order to be able to increase prices. These are people very high up on the ladder. They blame it on the sanctions but Iranian factories are making those products. This is just one item. You can imagine about the others.
-
Now think about this: if I, an ordinary citizen with limited resources, can know this stuff, do you think the US gov, with ALL its resources, doesn't? Of course they do. They don't care. I think the US and the Iranian regime are more alike than you think:
-
They *want* to weaken the people. Each for its own goals (and I'm sure anyone can guess them), but they want the same thing.

Brave and truthful. Shutting down the war machine and it’s continued March to War to support rich, wealthy white male defense contractors should be the mantra of all patriots. We will be the only ones to end this cruelty and save our dignity, integrity as American citizens
-
@codepink is speaking Truth to Power when our own elected officials refuse to do so. Dark Money and those voices should be damaged irretrievable from their ability to use weaponized money as the impetus to change the narrative to commit atrocities in our name for profits.

Her voice carried so we'll. She's stayed totally calm and hit some major points. Props.

The boom operator from CSPAN was the one who moved in to mic her. Salute him too!

I remember her and other code pink allies doing this when almost no others were during the Iraq War (part two). Made me smile and inspired :) thank you kindly

Amazingly articulate under pressure. The forever war culture and one of their effete footsoldiers lost a battle today.
