Thank you for this beneficence—your posts are so informative, educational and shine light on the situations that the regime would prefer to keep hidden. Your voice is unique and accessible. The analyses are thoughtful and nuanced. Please Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you for your excellent perspective and analyses. I am sad to learn that people like myself who barely survive only on meager Social Security checks will be excluded from participating in your newest offerings, no matter how much we learn from you. Poverty sucks. But I remain very grateful for what you do share with us at no cost.

Trita, something does not stack here. You condemn the MSM, yet you don't shy away from making an appearance on .... an MSM channel !!! So, what are we to make of it?
Read this earlier today and didn't have time to reply until just now. That said it's exactly what I felt and was about to write the moment I read, "Oh BTW I was also on MSNBC last night!"
Wwwwwwwwwwwwwhat? He just finished besmirching MSM and yet then participated on the very media outlet Substackers eschew, hence it's popularity which I believe is being infiltrated by controlled opposition solely and deliberately because of it's audience and enormity.
I'm going to take what you said even a step further. The moment I read going on MSNBC my first reaction was, typical schtick. Total PR stunt. The title alone spoke volumes. "Getting Serious". Why the need to say anything let alone alone an introduction? Who are you trying to convince and of what?
People on Substack are not fools, unlike the folks who're still watching and deriving anything from the boob tube. In fact the comment section is often where you find the most imperative information.
Lastly, it's like the academics and practical/field experts on You Tube. Notice the very one thing they ALL share in common, former Government employee's.
Until someone can answer why
BB is still alive given the fact he is is despised by 95% of the entire world
Israel is able to continually be able to decimate Lebanon on a daily basis
Israel is able to fight wars on five fronts: Gaza, Syria, West Bank, Lebanon AND Iran
There is anything still left of Tel Aviv let alone Israel itself
The US was able to deliver 6500 tons of military equipment by ship and plane
After we've been told:
Iran destroyed all of Israel's airports and decimated their ports including Haifa
BOTH the USA and Israel had significant depletion of key, high-tech weapons, particularly in its missile defense systems
The (IDF) is enduring a massive manpower catastrophe and potential collapse due to a shortage of roughly 12,000 to 15,000 soldiers, including over 7,000 combat troops.
Iran has "allegedly" attacked Israel with over 650 ballistic missile, 10 hypersonic missiles and hundreds of other weaponry.
It takes nothing to wipe out Israel's water treatment (why they want Lebanon for their abundance of water resources) and electrical grid, yet here it is months later and they continue to murder tens of thousands of people and assassinate how many world leaders, Presidents and high ranking officials, for decades mind you.
A country the size of NJ and no one can stop them? Something stinks with this entire narrative. Keep in mind Israel hates the West and this certainly has put the final nail in the USA's coffin! I think the media blackout in Israel is not to hide the extent of the damage but rather the lack of the extent! One shot (water and electricity) this all could have been over.
So - anybody who publishes a substack can never appear on MSM without his/her/their credibility being held suspect? Dunno - sounds pretty stringent to me. Anyhow Chris Hayes is "on the edge" I would say. Depends if his family needs employer-sponsored healthcare or whatever. How do we know exactly what personal circumstances keep basically good guys tethered to corrupt corporate media. Could be shit we know absolutely nothing about because it's - private.
So, Trita appears on an MSM channel – MSM = promoter of mis/dis/malinfo – in an interview with Chris Hayes who is "on the edge", and Ben Rhodes, who, undoubtedly via his brother David (former president of CBS News), is well connected to the MSM, and you find all that "pretty stringent"?
What tells us that Trita's comments aren't "colored" by the hand that partially feeds him? Sure, Trita can talk to any one of those guys, but not in the context of an MSM channel, that is to say if he really values his credibility.
Ngungu - I take all info with a grain of salt and try to corroborate as best I can what those who do appear on MSM are portraying as fact. Trita Parsi is an Iranian so do I assume or can I assume anything from that fact? Robert Reich is Jewish - ex-Secretary of Labor - has a substack and has appeared on MSM - can I assume anything from that? And just because someone is NOT on MSM and is on Substack - does that individual automatically get a pass? There are plenty of right -wing white-supremacist Christian-nationalist Nazi sympathizers comfortably nesting right here on Substack's windowsill. Whatever. Got your message. Thanks for sharing.
Because I consider your original comment to be an absurd "so what" comment that's why. Totally irrelevant just as my deflecting irrelevant comments are demonstrative of absurdity. Good catch.
Thank you for your analysis and unique perspective. And thanks to Waj for shamelessly promoting you. I wouldn’t have found you otherwise ( but please oh please, don’t tell him. If he keeps being right, there’ll be no living with him!)
Thank you Trita for your contributions here and on Democracy Now. Your voice is important.. 🙏 I also love the Iran Lego shirts. They are really winning the meme war against Trump. They communicate so much meaning.
Parsi: “Obama worked really hard to change the atmospherics” with Iran.
Yes, he shipped pallets of cash to the cash starved mullahs, took “promises” from a regime with a cult of lying, and then dropped trou and let them fuck him. Parsi goes on MSNBC (of course!) to spew his stupidity - he’s the guy who thinks China has become the “peacemaker” in the ME despite the reality that it is the US that is the big dog in the ME and China is a mere supplicant begging for oil. Hasmas loving, Israel hating escapee from the Mullahs who has decided it is in his interest to praise them and their AI cartoons “speaking directly to the American people! They do not come any more loony TV shill Parsi. A suck up looking for relevance.
Brilliant Trita!! I have been consuming your work insatiably. Looking forward for more. You’re perfectly right. It’s cosy in here. The kind of material that would go to make the world better.

Thank you for the info and opportunity to support your efforts. Just upgraded for the annual subscription.
Nice to have someone this caliber in the community!

Thnk you for your reply and expanding on the point I made.

Agreeing with Chris Hayes = unfollow for me. Can’t take him seriously anymore.
Ngungu - I take all info with a grain of salt and try to corroborate as best I can what those who do appear on MSM are portraying as fact.

Yes, I knew Trita is Iranian and Reich is Jewish, but what on earth is the relevance of that? Why do you bring in the ethnicity/religious aspect??
> And just because someone is NOT on MSM and is on Substack - does that individual automatically get a pass?
Nope, not at all, and I did not state so nor even imply so.
> There are plenty of right -wing white-supremacist Christian-nationalist Nazi sympathizers comfortably nesting right here on Substack's windowsill.
Absolutely, and so what?
I must say, I am at a loss as to your deflection to issues that are completely irrelevant to the discussion.
Because I consider your original comment to be an absurd "so what" comment that's why. Totally irrelevant just as my deflecting irrelevant comments are demonstrative of absurdity. Good catch.
Ah, i see, and I also see that you were unable to refute my argument, and sorry, no, deflection is not refutation 😉
You are unable to argue that "you are wrong because xyz", whatever argument you want to put forward.
Thank you, Mr. Parsi. I look forward to your work.
No bunkers allowed in DC.

It is getting serious when Islamonazis that charged Israel with genocide admit that it was all a hoax.
Will our humiliated Islamonazi dickhead Parsi also admit it?
Don’t hold your breath.
He’s too busy trying to prop up his darling ayatollahs.
Thank you for your analysis and unique perspective. And thanks to Waj for shamelessly promoting you. I wouldn’t have found you otherwise ( but please oh please, don’t tell him. If he keeps being right, there’ll be no living with him!)
Thanks 🙏

So glad you are here!!!! It is better on Substack
I like your work, it scratches the surface a bit but i suspect that is quite intentional and appropriate for the American audience.
