Anti-Iran Neocons generating fake controversy to promote "Iranium" propaganda

A mini-controversy was generated in Canada over the screening of an anti-Iran propaganda movie called "Iranium" at a Canadian library. Apparently the Library 1) "received threats of violence" 2) was pressured from the Iranian regime and they had to cancel the event. The Canadian government then stepped in to force the screening of said film.

Now we know that all the reports about the "threat of violence" was a false alarm. And I personally suspect it was started by the same people who are pushing to get this propaganda movie reach as many audience as possible.

The focus of this blog however, is not on this fake controversy but on the propaganda that is Iranium.

Richard Silverstein of the Tikun Ulam blog and the neocon-watchers over at Lobelog have documented the people and money behind this effort better than anyone. From right wing ultra orthodox Israelis and highly motivated Islamophobes and pro-war-on-Iran neoconservatives to Koch-style conservatives. Previously they were responsible for anti-Muslim conspiracy films, Third Jihad, Obsession.
