Vanguard: America's Secret War With Iran (Video)

This great and true journalism. You and Darren were in Damascus reporting on "Freedom Fighters" years before it got coverage in the so called "media".

I know its true and am torn btwn its benefits and negatives. One must look at the past and see that we were directly responsible for helping Osama against Iran in the 80's and do we really want to make that mistake in this region again? But at the same time its a great way to be a thorn without further hurting our already dimished image in the islamic world.

I wish all these different groups: kurds, other minority groups, women and young iranians could come together and be a force.

Thomas and Ciara

thanks for sharing the secret.
great pod, guys. bravo!

This is pretty amazing journalism. Reporting from the people for the people. From this Episode of Vangaurd i find it something of great interest being here in the states and not there where these things can mean life and death. I still will however be neutral to all sides in these conflicts because everyone has their own truth. I can live to that. Good stuff, better than CNN for breakfast.

Mariana is an amazing journalist, she know's how to really get inside the mind of a great story. She's really give's Journalism a good name, bravo!

Great investigative journalism. This show is amazing. I can't wait to see future episodes. Mariana, you are so courageous to travel to these remote locations and tackle these subject matters. Thank you!

What an amazing start to an awesome season of Vanguard! I wish all news was like this.

Absolutely brave, and even more so, relevant and brilliant. This is journalism at its best, serving the purpose for which it was originally intended.

A lesson of very good journalism.

Bravo Mariana and Darren

Well done...can't wait for "Chinatown, Africa"...

Engaging, incredible, and brave. Thank you for bringing us quality, depth, reality, and raw guts. Amazing. Vanguard has my interest, support, and affirmation!
Peace,

i wanna show you off

I plan to read Robert's book because he def. has the knowledge but I would like to know more about his opinion of a course of action.

Thank you (again) Mariana and the Vanguard team for the risks you are taking to bring truths and enlightenment. Some governments wish to keep us ignorant and complacent but the more stories you guys uncover and share the more sparks you are igniting within us to act.

Keep up the excellent work and be safe.

I'm not sure what kind of "freedom" these fighters are fighting for, the freedom to drink alcohol? I thank Marianna for her bravery. May God keep you safe.

First off let me say thank you Mariana. Clearly you have put your life and well-being at risk to bring us this report.

Second, I want to say that I am opposed to the US government taking my tax dollars and spending them in covert operations without my approval, and this is truly the crux of the matter for most US citizens. Special interests have in many ways co-opted our government and public information is little more than a presentation of their pr spin on what they want us to know, or want us to believe.

I had a woman tell me the other day that her son, who is in the military in Iraq, told her that they often feel as if they are battling the US media more than the Iraqi people.

I think most Americans are tired and fed up with being manipulated over human rights issues. While I empathize with the Kurds desire for freedom, at the same time, I do not for one minute believe that our involvement in any Middle East conflict stems from a concern for human rights, but rather from a desire to control markets, and in particular, oil and energy markets. This is where the Bush administration has broken faith with the people of the US, and because of the multitude of lies and deception that have been fostered upon us in the name of little more than human greed, we have been denied the right to make informed decisions about how or where we are going to be involved with other people's struggles across the globe.

There has not been an open and honest examination of what is going on over there, nor have the American people been given the right to decide what is and what is not our business, ie. do we support rebels who are attacking established governments that are recognized by the people living under them? I think if our own government was honest with us, they know we would not support this type of intervention, and so, as in so much of our foreign policy, they use the puppet media to lie to us and cover their tracks.

Your report is certainly a step in the opposite direction, and we thank you for it.

excellent pod !!! very interesting

Dear Americans,

I would like to propose a "NATIONAL STRIKE DAY" for every American that is able. I have heard France has been doing this with great success. Please let us get everyone engaged here and anywhere we can post this message or one of your own.

The Questions I would ask here are as follows: What day should it be and when and how often? Once a month to start or? I believe this would really give the people back their power in this country. It is time to take action! If we do not take some action now as our Declaration of Independence says we have the right and obligation to, it looks like our country will fall.

People are losing their homes by the millions, and jobs of course with it, and our government with the media's help are trying to hide it from us. They are going to let us just fall, we have to save ourselves, to many good people's lives are being ruined.

This is the responsibility of a free people. Be sure the world bankers have a diabolical plan for us and unless we truly want to be slaves, we have to do something. I am open to other ideas, or maybe someone is already doing this (I heard something). I plead with each American here on Twitter to get involved and support this idea, and everywhere else we can get this message out.

This will be a peaceful way to get our government's attention, while we take back our country. Trust me if George Washington and the many honorable men and women who fought our war of Independence were here today, they would have already taken action years ago, many years ago, and I doubt it would be very peaceful.

Thus, no one works until our demands are met. Start with say five or ten demands. So my idea, proposal is that Americans just go to the street, your city hall, or what is ever appropriate in your state. No one works until our demands are met. But absolutely No violence, no vandalism, no matter what please. That will destroy our honest political cause afforded us by our constitution. In fact, we should make, in my opinion that it is a very somber and quite sit in, almost complete silence until our demands are met, so they cannot try and intimidate people or arrest them unlawfully as they have been doing. I believe this is very important point, no conflict what so ever, just freeze everything. We are all allowed to stay home from work. We need to get employers involved obviously.

My list of demands start as follows:

1.) No more bail outs, but instead money is to be given directly to the American people.
I heard some experts are saying that this is the only real cure, some 450,000.00 to each American is the answer to our financial crisis. http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?=26321

2.) Abolish the IRS, period!

3.) Reinstate our fourth Amendment rights.

4.)

5.)

I hope others will give their suggestions. I would recommend we elect a board and thus work to organize our first AMERICAN NATIONAL STRIKE DAY, or if someone has already started this, please if anyone is aware of this let me know.

What an amazing job! Great work!

It makes one wonder why other journalists aren't covering things in such amazing undercover depth. Nice job!

I hold "Vanguard" work in as high esteem as the excellent "Frontline" series on PBS.
This episode represents why.
The more I know, the more I want to know and the less I have to fear.

Great pod. Vanguard is the reason I started coming to Current. The reporters and teams that make these pods bring actual news to the attention of the public and that makes them true heroes.

stunning, breathtaking, moving, eye-opening, mesmerizing, poignant... really, there are not enough adjectives to describe this pod.

now THERE is a report. very informative. get this information out!

thank you for this episode of vanguard is amazing. i think we're making the same mistakes of the past; one should be enough................................

Perhaps I missed it, but I'd be curious as to who is funding Ibrahim's operation if the US isn't. It would be interesting to know which other groups are putting funding into groups like his.

Terrible journalist work. No one on the camera confirms any financial aid from USA and no one can name anyone who got any financial assistance. There are no US soldiers there or arms. Support is political only.
Instead of looking how to bash US. Why don’t you go to S. Ossetia and see what Russians are doing to Georgians over there.
America has a lot of support amongst Iranian youth. Report about that and don’t make up stuff that no one confirms or has any facts to it.
Terrible work again.
