I recall this was website posted months ago a hate speech by a prominent Cleric in Iran. a thread called "If America said something like this" or something or other. Anyhow it mostly went unnoticed but I think the website offers some pretty fascinating stuff. Some of the things said makes Bush saying "Axis of Evil" look like a Hallmark greeting card.
So anyhow the name of the site is MEMRI.org
There are many standouts but the one that grabbed my attention my last visit was #1311 - "Guantanamo" - It really reminded me of the North Korean video where they depicted Americans with horns eating babies etc.. its pretty hilarious..
I'm sure there are some aware but for those that are not there is all but complete certainty that Israel and/or the United States will be striking Iranian nuclear reactors in the near future. While my personal opinion is this will have little consequences ,as Israel attacking Iraq's did, the potential for conflict is there giving the content of these videos some relevance.
The intent of this isn't to incite some conservative Mideastern vilifying or some liberal justifications for Iran's actions. My point is simply to inform and show people something that is never broadcasted on western media. If you find something interesting or educational all the better but I'd prefer if the Iran defending/bashing was kept to a minimum ..assuming anyone gives a shit in the first place ^^
P.S. Don't bother questioning authenticity their accuracy in translation is 100% and confirmed by many sources. But what is indisputable is they don't spend alot of time translating positive things. Just be a rational person and understand this is only one facet of their media.
