Iran As The Most Misunderstood Country and People! Ben Anderson Talks About US-Iran Ties and His Arrest
Independent Aggregator of Iran-related News/Events, Kodoom.com: Distinguished journalist and war reporter Ben Anderson, shares with Joe Rogan his views about Iran and Iranians as very smart and educated (minute marker 6:30), his detention in Tehran, the secret back channel negotiations between US and Iran before George Bush called Iran as part of "Axis of Evil," and other interesting experiences:
A recipient of the Foreign Press Award, Anderson is known for "Holidays in the Axis of Evil," the BBC series where he traveled secretly to Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Syria, Libya and Cuba.
His full interview about war zones, people becoming numb about war atrocities and injustice, his own trauma and therapy sessions, Saudi's murder of Khashoggi, fake millionaire war journalists and lies propagated about wars by mass media talking heads (such as fake footage by White Helmets from Syria), and the truth shared by journalists like Martha Gellhorn and Seymour Hersh:
Anderson is the only journalist to have filmed undercover with the pro-democracy protesters in Bahrain, as they were tear gassed, shot, beaten and imprisoned during the Arab Spring. Ben also has covered numerous environmental issues, including the dire state of the world’s corals, permafrost and leaking methane, and pioneering new geoengineering projects. He was also Executive Producer for Under the Wire, the feature-length documentary about Marie Colvin’s death in Syria. In late 2018, confronting the cost to himself of conflict reporting for so long, he made a film about pioneering new treatments for veterans with PTSD, using MDMA. Ben went through the treatment himself and was filmed undergoing the MDMA assisted therapy.
