After seven months it's realy interesting listening to this. 'there's no going back' and yet there was and we're seeing everything is back to normal. 'without anyone calling it, nobody even called for it' and yet it was completely being controlled and led by governments, groups and individuals outside the country. I could really go on singling out lies told here but it's not worth it. The lies are so apparent now. Look now to what happened and what was the result of these blind "protests", better called "planned riots". They were very violent from the start. It was singularly targeting peace in the society and the security. Not even 1% of people participated in them but It was largely amplified in media, it's just that. If 10 came out to prostest, 10000 more came out to protest the protests. And it's dead now. Just like the one in 2009. And People of Iran are more aware than you think, they cannot be fooled by media any more, every struggle made them stronger and smarter. This is what

I look forward to the new episodes of All Inclusive bi-weekly. I love how it's a new type of advocacy each episode, so I can learn something different. Really great to hear how people got to their activism and the impact they are making. This most recent episode with Ilse Knecht of Joyful Heart was so eye-opening and informative.

These comments are soo fake and obviously planted by someone associated with the show. That’s what the left has to do - fake it’s way forward.

This is such a great podcast. Each episode provides important information and knowledge about activism and the people that bring change to the world. Jay Ruderman, an activist himself, interviews his guests with so much compassion and passion for making a difference, while conducting such interesting conversations with so much to learn from in each episode. Highly recommended.
