MD, Frederick: Dr. Trita Parsi Speaks on Iran, Israel and US Relations

Nationally acclaimed scholar and author on Iran, Israel and the U.S. to Speak

Dr. Trita Parsi will discuss and sign his book, Treacherous Alliance - The Secret Dealings of Iran, Israel and the United States.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, former U.S. National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter, has called Dr. Pari’s book, “A penetrating, provocative, and very timely study that deciphers how U.S. policy in the Middle East has been manipulated both by Iran and by Israel even as relations between these two oscillated between secret collusion and overt collision.”

Washington You're Fired!

A RESCUE MISSION TO SAVE THE U.S. CONSTITUTION • A chance for every American to play a serious game of political “catch-up” minus the partisan punch lines. We don’t play party-politics or the blame game. Whether you’re Democrat, Republican, or one of the hundreds of Independent parties out there, we must all come together and understand the fundamental change that has taken place in our very own government. We’re all in the same boat, people...and it’s sinking fast!
