TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- CNN censored part of the live broadcast of the Iranian president's speech during a rally in Tehran on Saturday, which put the phenomenon of the Holocaust under question.

The Cable News Network (CNN) censored part of Iranian president Ahmadinejad's speech in Tehran on Saturday who was addressing millions of rallying people on the occasion of the 27th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.

Ahmadinejad was censored when he started talking about the Holocaust and when he put the issue under a question mark and said, "if you are not lying about the Holocaust, then why don't you let our scientists come to your countries to conduct a research on the issue. You do not even let your own scientists and thinkers to run a research on the issue and as soon as they raise doubts or put the issue under question, you suffocate them."

CNN was relaying the live broadcast of Ahmadinejad's speech by the Islamic Republic News Network and it did not cut the program even when the Iranian president was stating his country's strong opposition to the west and its hegemony and trespass of the other nations' rights. But as soon as Ahmadinejad started talking about the Holocaust, the reputable American channel cut his words on the pretext of intermission.

Once the Iranian president was through with that part of his speech about the Israeli Regime, the falsehood of the raison deters of Zionism and Israel and the current status quo in the Palestinian occupied lands, CNN started the broadcast again.

The measure seems to be globally coordinated since BBC also embarked on censoring the same part of the Iranian president's speech, which referred to the Holocaust again on the pretext of intermission.

I'm not sure what your complaint is. I'm surprised they covered his speech at all, though of course, he does like to say inflammatory things. But to expect CNN to cover his speech in its entirety seems more than a trifle naive given his relative lack of importance to most people. We already know he hates Jews. The networks are under no obligation to broadcast the kind of spew he revels in.

Our (Western) media must must protect the people from things they shouldn't know. This is the essence of Freedom of the Press slogan. It means they who control the media will publish their agenda. You as an individual have little power to fight the media propaganda, one must join a mob and possibly produce your own media, or be overwhelmed if the mainstream media gets out of hand.

The same people who don't know of, or question German excesses from 1933 to 1945 when they got slapped back into there hole by the Russians, and USA, Britain and her Colonies, and others; probably believe the world is flat. This is nice way of saying they are ignorant, and probably mind dead to reason and logic. Pass them on or if they get too pushy beat them down. There is not other way.

Democracy survives on a pinhead, balanced precariously. It is a constant battle and always will be, protecting us from the onslaught of God takes effort. There will always be somebody trying to make other people see the light, their version. The mottos change daily, usually with God or his followers in the theme.

What a peaceful world we would have if we the people got rid of God. We would still have our strifes, which is built into human nature, but the "religions" fighting would be worldly and more defined, and we could define the enemy. The God enemy is hard to get a grasp on, it obscures the real danger and agenda.

Religion defined to my way of thinking is any group following blindly without serious questioning its tenets due to fear or ignorance. Examples would be: Communisn, National Socialism, Japanese Militarianism, Christianity, Facism, Islam, and many other not mentioned here.

Democracy seems to be the best route to follow at first look. Its practice has many shades. It might offer the best future for the human race, but it must be examined and changed to suit circumstances.

The method of selecting those who form the governmnet has many defects. Many people are not truly represented by our present system. Rule by the so called majority often represents in practice about 25 percent of the populace. Many of the silent majority don't vote for reasons that are varied, and first past the post system of elections creates a ruling group, particularly if they have a few seats majority, that is akin to a dictatorship for the term of their tenure.

Just my thoughts.
