An Iranian journalist writing about the nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran has defected. In an interview Amir Hossein Motaghi, has some harsh words for his native Iran. He also has a damning indictment of America's role in the nuclear negotiations.
The U.S. negotiating team are mainly there to speak on Irans behalf with other members of the 5+1 countries and convince them of a deal," Motaghi told a TV station after just defecting from the Iranian delegation while abroad for the nuclear talks. The P 5 + 1 is made up of United States, United Kingdom, Russia, China, France, plus Germany.
The British Telegraph has details of Motaghi's defection:
A close media aide to Hassan Rouhani, the Iranian president, has sought political asylum in Switzerland after travelling to Lausanne to cover the nuclear talks between Tehran and the West.
My conscience would not allow me to carry out my profession in this manner any more. Mr Mottaghi was a journalist and commentator who went on to use social media successfully to promote Mr Rouhani to a youthful audience that overwhelmingly elected him to power.
Amir Hossein Motaghi, who managed public relations for Mr Rouhani during his 2013 election campaign, was said by Iranian news agencies to have quit his job at the Iran Student Correspondents Association (ISCA).
He then appeared on an opposition television channel based in London to say he no longer saw any sense in his profession as a journalist as he could only write what he was told.
There are a number of people attending on the Iranian side at the negotiations who are said to be journalists reporting on the negotiations, he told Irane Farda television. But they are not journalists and their main job is to make sure that all the news fed back to Iran goes through their channels.

This thread should have 400 replies minimum.
Communist muslims and persian scumbags are controlling the Executive Branch of the USA.
IT IS NOW CONFIRMED BY A HIGH RANKING IRANIAN DEFECTOR.
Jarett, Obama, and Shrillary have a real problem.
Comes a time when he decides he'd rather not leave office, and the hell with elections.
ALL BETS OFF
TREASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't see it ending anytime soon.
Nukes will be used somewhere in the world before Obama leaves office. If he leaves.
Confirmation by the ENEMY is a big deal.
Nope, the American People have a problem.
Damn right.
Universal Suffrage put Chavez, Castro, and Obama into office.
Time to end Universal Suffrage.
Lots of enemy within.
The DOJ and FBI used to wrangle them.
Now, not so much.

Yes, the unthinkable becomes more plausible every day with a totally prostrate or collaborationist Congress. Boehner and McConnell will never rise to the challenge and save the USA.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Almost missed this story from a few days ago. It’s about to disappear down the rabbit hole. Sounds like a big deal to me. Prayers for Israel.
It was mentioned briefly on the Shawn Hannity radio show today. It sure seems like a big deal to me, too, but we live in a world now where up is down and down is up.
