The FBI recently arrested an Iranian academic for failing to register as a foreign agent in accordance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Kaveh Afrasiabi was arrested in Massachusetts and is believed to have received more than $250,000 from the Iranian regime to disseminate its propaganda in the guise of objective analysis.
Iranian agent-scholars are easy to recognize: they always oppose the overthrow of the regime and they oppose any form of sanctions. They criticize the regime on occasion as a means of concealing their role as agents.

Any Democrat who calls Susan Collins, the most centrist Republican in the Senate, "the worst," is not a person capable of following Biden's call to unity and civility.
And Tanden's problems go deeper than just the fact that she spent the last several years starting Twitter flame-wars in a manner that could be deemed unprofessional.
“Investigators are struggling to build a federal murder case regarding fallen U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, vexed by a lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death,” CNN disclosed last week.
“Authorities have reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries.”
The ‘dream of going back to normal’ is a ‘huge distraction’, says a writer for the Guardian. The inescapable Devi Sridhar, the public-health academic whose voice of doom is enthusiastically coveted by the media, speaks to us as if we are patients on a therapist’s couch-
– ‘it is perfectly normal to grieve for our lost normality, but denial needs to be followed by acceptance’, she has counselled.
The Times, the Biden campaign, the Democrat leadership, and others on board with the idea have come nowhere close to pursuing “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”
Yet despite a history of disseminating misinformation, clear biases, and suppression of those with different views, they would select the arbiters of Orwellian truth.
So who could be trusted as the reality czar? No one.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, the ADL and AJc have all termed the anti-Israeli rhetoric of Jilani & fellow @amprog writers Eli Clifton, Ali Gharib, Matt Duss & Ben Armbruster to be infected with Jew-hatred and discriminatory policy positions toward Israel.
“Duss, CAP’s Middle East Progress director, wrote on ThinkProgress that “the entire Israeli occupation” of the Gaza Strip is “a moral abomination” comparable to the former Jim Crow South in the US.” m.jpost.com/International/…
The county GOP did censure former U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake, who did not seek a second term in 2018 and who also endorsed Biden over Republican President Trump.

The resolution, mockingly, commended Flake “for standing up for your principles, but recognizes that those principles are not those of the Republican Party.”
