The aftermath of the three-day all-expenses-paid “Grand Conference of Iranians Living Abroad” is still dominating the “news” back in IRR, the Islamist Rapist Republic.
Different Islamist Rapist factions are using the paid for expatriate Iranians as political piñata to score their own particular point.
What is clear though is that a group of Iranians accepted Islamist Rapists’ invitation to be compensated propaganda actors and actresses to shore up image of IRR. Or as New York Times quote the organizers of the show explaining the thought behind it as:
“lying media organizations outside the country with the aim of painting a black picture of the situation in Iran have created an incorrect impression such that some of our countrymen do not have a bright and clear picture of Iran,”
What is also clear is that at least one of those paid for Iranians, Elaheh Ensani, is a board member of NIAC lobby.
In the report New York Times has on the subject of the Grand Conference it quotes Trita Parsi identifying him as “a scholar based in the United States who writes about Iran” and not his main occupation as the irreplaceable lifetime president of NIAC lobby.
Given that at least one of his board members is on the record to have been a paid actress in an IRR propaganda show, he personally and his lobby have some explaining to do or at the very least position to take vis-à-vis their board member’s behavior.
