Dear Peter, Hi, I just wanted to inform you about a channel in KZbin, which is copying the first part of your video (travelling to Iran). This channel has uploaded the first part and wants to upload the two other parts as well. Is it ok or legal for some people to copy your videos? If you want, I can send you the link. Marianna from Germany

[@koniginmarianne6953]

Dear Peter, Thanks for replying me. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaHSlGqhhbR3p9k This is a persian Channel and because Persian is my mother tongue, I've understood that this channel is copying your videos. I don't like it when people upload illegally videos of others in their channel to have more viewers. Best regards, Marianna

I'm from Argentina and I'm very thankful to see more people defending and showing how's Iran and what's going on there with their people. I was there for a month last year and found my second home in the world. I'll go back for sure to visit all the friends I've made on my trip there and know more cities and towns over there. They say don't go, terrorists, danger place, etc. I was even safier than my own country. This year I'm going to Turkey to the South East to meet more Kurdish, Lurs, and Iranians travelling there because how warm they are. Like I always say don't trust on media and if they say don't go over there, investigate and see it by yourself. Most likely it's a lie.

[@PeterSantenello]

Hi Santiago, I"m glad you liked this video. You're right about the misinformation spread by the media and I'm glad to hear that you check it out for yourself. There are lots of amazing places being labeled unsafe that truly don't deserve it. Happy travels!

This is great work mate! If every country had a Peter Santenello, politicians wouldnt be able to fuel so much racism and animosity among people through their distorted media. I've visited Iran twice. But gotta admit, I, probably just like every other tourist, never had the head space or the patience to bring so much cultural awareness and uncover the reality of who Iranians are to my people (Australia). My brother's wife is Iranian, we never had the chance to learn about Persian culture or visit Iran before meeting her. All we knew was what (gibberish) we saw on media. Oblivious of the VAST difference between the crap on the media and the reality!

[@PeterSantenello]

That's how it is for many people. Not everyone has the option to travel and see things for themselves, so they have to depend on the media for their worldview. And while we should be able to trust the media for fair, unbiased journalism, I think it's apparent by now that it's not what we get. I"m really glad that you liked my video, and I appreciate you reaching out!

May God protect Iran and its noble people...

Actually the Trump administration specially Pompeo and John Bolton are very very close to the iranian American community and the state department are in daily contact with many Iranians inside Iran, and unlike you they know that regime change is what all those pro-American Iranians truly desire because there is no other alternative to make Iran great again

OK, but I was just telling that no one in Iran hates westerners, and these kind of posts here, like this guy's sending, is by purpose and I'm sure, either he/she/it isn't Iranian, or a just a random bot, sending spams to make people feel Iranians are hateful people towards the western people. They're not! I'm living in the EU but have lived most of my life in Tehran, and I'll tell you that it's the US government who's not let Iranians breathe freely. The local gvt. is corrupted in many cases, but it's not the worst in the world, if the US feels very philanthropic (which is ridiculous) they should first try to coup in more autocratic countries like Saudi, which apparently supports terrorism and have had proven...then if they talk about human right in Iran, it's more believable!! IDK how people in the world shut their eyes on such irony :/

[@classiclover2534]

@@massjr7374 I take your point, I know Iranians are not a hateful people. In fact, they are more forgiving than hateful and that is why the Western regimes have been able to exploit their kindness and forgiving nature. Iranians hate Arabs, not just because of forcing their degenerate Islam on them but also because Arabs are a treacherous creed and highly corrupt and untrustworthy. They lie and cheat and Iranians hate that. Iranians have never had genocides, slavery and other such foul acts, in their history, which is more than could be said about the Western democracies and even other ancient countries like Egypt, Greece, Rome, Arabia... All in all, I have not seen any other people as culturally and socially rich as Iranians. They are a highly developed nation in every sense of the word. Unlike the Anglo Saxons, Arabs, Slavs, Greeks and Romans, they are very educated, philanthropist, scientific and poetic at the same time.

[@massjr7374]

Yeah man... am very glad to hear it from you :) We have a very enriched and ancient religion, called Zoroastrianism, which can be considered as the most peaceful religion and all Iranians, even those are Muslims, are influenced by this religion's philosophy as well; because it's in our traditions and rites! And I'm not sure, but maybe this is why we think and do different than Arabs, who have not been grown up with these traditions...

People have no faith anymore. Open your eyes to reality. The young generation hates the government and loves US culture. This is how poorly the Islamic Republic has performed. Every attempt to draw the people away from Americans has failed. Young guys don't say prayers, don't fast, never go to mosque etc. It's over for people like you. Hitler and his SS are gone, Gurbachev and the KGB are gone, so will everyone else who tries to suppress their people.

In one of the statements leaving his demented brain, he said: "Iran is TOO BIG". As if anybody asked for his opinion, or maybe he was referring to something else about Iranians. But, anybody is big compared to him. Has anybody ever seen this little man? He is really a little cowardice. I bet he was one of those kids that had his lunch money taken from him at school and had no friends to stand by him. That must be the reason for his hatefulness.
