NOVANEWS
The following is an approximate transcript of the interview.
Press TV: Not the first time we’re seeing this. Why do you think the attacks continue on basically trying to stop free speech?
Glenn: If we want to make a comparison here, lies and bad information are like a drug that can be used to seduce people and to rob them of their ability to see and think clearly and the truth is obviously an antidote to that drug. The Western Zionist media has to rely on this drug in order to keep the people under their sway – drugged up and stupid and incapable of thinking clearly about geo-political issues.
Press TV and other outlets particularly in their coverage of what has been taking place in Syria. This has translated into very direct, real, big time events such as Russia coming forward and offering or insisting upon continuing armament delivery of S-300s to Syria and this has resulted in all sorts of backlash including the American public being opposed to sending American troops into Syria.
So the control of information is absolutely vital in keeping a nation of people or even an entire civilization of people in line politically with whatever the elite has decided on what is going to take place.
And so Press TV obviously has been a real thorn in the side of this conspiracy to keep people stupid and in the dark and it’s resulting in real life problems for these conspirators.
Press TV: How intimidated are they by the Iranian stations? We know that the mainstream media basically as far as the money and as far as the amount of stations, it definitely has a lot more stations. Why are they so intimidated by just basically a few stations? Wouldn’t it be actually better if they did not take it off because there are so many stations on these satellite systems? Isn’t what they’re doing actually shooting themselves in the foot because it actually brings more attention now to Press TV and other outlets?
Glenn: Yes you’re absolutely right; that is the end result of this. But we shouldn’t credit these people with being overly bright. They’re driven by greed and they’re driven by very backward ideologies and they think that ‘might makes right’.
So the fact that Press TV may not have the kind of reach that some of these other international media outlets have, I don’t think this really enters into the equation.
They’re looking at the bottom line here, the bottom line is that people are freeing themselves of these intellectual shackles that are keeping locked in certain positions that are working against their personal interests and the interests of their country.
Truth is a very, very powerful serum and a very, very powerful antidote. A little bit goes a long way and these evildoers know this and this is the reason why they have got to shut down all outlets of truth that threaten their international agenda.
