3. There actually is secret (and now not so secret) Accord between the United States and Iran’s Mullahs called Algiers Accords of January 19, 1981, brokered by the Algerian government. Among its chief provisions are:
- The US would not intervene politically or militarily in Iranian internal affairs- The US would remove a freeze on Iranian assets and trade sanctions on Iran - Both countries would end litigation between their respective governments and citizens referring them to international arbitration, namely the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal.
4. On January 28th, 1987 The White House confirmed that President Reagan had sent a signed Bible, a special hand written message and a cake shaped in the form of a key to Iran’s leaders. The confirmation came in remarks by Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, three months after Iran first disclosed the Bible's existence. The bible, with a signed inscription by Mr. Reagan, was displayed Wednesday at a news conference in Teheran by Iran's Speaker of Parliament, Hojatolislam Hashemi Rafsanjani. Mr. Reagan's signature and the date of Oct. 3, 1986, under a handwritten quotation, had been given by American emissaries to an intermediary in Frankfurt to be passed on to Iranian leaders. ''It was a gesture to indicate that those who were there were truly representing the President, and that the President, too, was a man of God,'' he said. President Reagan, you might recall could not remember anything about sale of arms to Iran; and Vice President Bush claimed he was out of the loop; and then Iran’s Speaker of Parliament Mr. Rafsanjani (one of Iran’s Billionaire Mullahs) during a sermon at Tehran University (the very same week) accused the United States of being an Evil country. Once again rhetoric and reality did not match. Rafsanjani was the Iranian counter revolutionary who received and ate the infamous key shaped Cake with the Iran Contra convict Oliver North in Tehran Airport. They both conspired to finance Contras Death Squads to sabotage revolutionary Sandanistas and indiscriminately kill the civilians in order to ensure the failure of Sandanistas semi-socialist system. Incidentally, one of his brothers headed the country's largest copper mine; another took control of the state-owned TV network; a brother-in-law became governor of Kerman province, while a cousin runs an outfit that dominates Iran's $400 million pistachio export business; one of Rafsanjani's sons took key positions in the Ministry of Oil; another son heads the Tehran Metro construction project (an estimated one billion dollars spent so far).which stretches all over the glob beyond the reach of the Iranian government. Today, Rafsanjani’s octopus family is in control of everything from narcotics, prostitution rings, and illicit alcohols to investments firms in US TV stations, Canada’s private toll ways, Australia Meat packing and wherever his multi national Corporation can operate. Rafsanjani Family operates through various foundations and front companies, that is why he innocently claims that he is a humble man with no assets.. The family is also believed to control one of Iran's biggest oil engineering companies, a plant assembling Daewoo automobiles, Iran's best private airline and control of various media in Iran and abroad. Rafsanjani is role in the staged hostage crisis and subsequent timing of their release made him the darling of Republican Party. That is why his corporations and stamens are behind hundreds of TV, radio, and internet conglomerates across the US, and the Globe. Rafsanjani became Iran’s President three years after receiving the bible from Reagan from 1989 to 1997 and is now the chairman of the powerful Expediency Council, which is the seat of actual political power in Iran.
7. In a book called “Devil's Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam” Robert Dreyfuss, an investigative journalist discusses how Western governments supported the growth of Islamic radicals for several purposes. The book addresses a number of different Middle Eastern interventions made by the West, as outlined below.
- Islamic Radicalism as a tool against Pro-Soviet Pan-Arabism
i. The book discusses how Western governments supported the growth of the Muslim Brotherhood in order to sabotage the efforts of Pro-Soviet Arab Nationalist leaders such as Abdul Nasser of Egypt. The goals of Abdul Nasser were to end Western domination and control in the Middle East. This was a great threat to Western interests, who used the Islamic brotherhood to destabilize the Nassar government. The Islamic Brotherhood continues to conduct terrorist activities in Egypt.
- Support of Islamic Radicalism as an Anti-Communist strategy i. Dreyfuss also discusses how the West used Islamic radicalism to suppress Communist movements in the Middle East and the rest of the Islamic world. He provides a comprehensive review of the support of Western governments for the Mujahadeen and Jihadi Islamic fighters, who were trained and sent into Afghanistan. With the close support and advice of CIA paramilitaries, these Islamic jihadists helped defeat Soviet forces in Afghanistan. The book also describes the work of Dr. Bernard Lewis and his model of Islamic Balkanization, where the CIA secretly supported Islamic movements within the Soviet Union to utilize them as Anti-Communist insurgents in the event of war. The consequence of this CIA program is the present-day Islamic Chechan separatist conflict that the Russians are fighting.- Islamic Radicalism as a divisive tactic i. The author also discusses how the Israeli government supported the growth of Hamas as a tool to fight the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The PLO was always viewed as the major threat to Israel, because they were the more educated and secular Palestinians. They had fought a very effective campaign against Israel, whereas Hamas has had very limited success. The book predicts the current Palestianian crisis where (PLO) Fatah and Hamas militias battled each other in the streets of Gaza and in other parts of Palestine for dominance over the Palestinian people. Dreyfuss claims that the political and economic isolation of Hamas is currently suffocating the new government. Gaza is running out of gas and public workers have not been paid for many months. This has been a strategic victory for Israel in a classic example of divide and conquer.
8. On July 3, 1988 towards the end of the Iran–Iraq War, the U.S. Navy guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian Airbus A300B2 on a scheduled commercial flight in Iranian airspace over the Strait of Hormuz, killing 290 civilians from six nations, including 66 children. USS Vincennes was in the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Earnest Will. The United States at first contended that flight 655 was a warplane and then said that it was outside the civilian air corridor and did not respond to radio calls. Both statements were untrue, and the radio calls were made on military frequencies to which the airliner did not have access. According to the Iranian government, the shoot down was an intentionally performed and unlawful act, and even if there had been a mistaken identification, which Iran has not accepted, it argues that this constituted gross negligence and recklessness amounting to an international crime, not an accident, because the aircraft was not on a trajectory that threatened the Vincennes and had not aimed radar at it. However, the United States has expressed regret only for the loss of innocent life, refusing to make a specific apology to the Iranian government. Imagine this, a civil aircraft is shot down, 290 people are killed, and Iran’s government sits tight. Does nothing. And the United States, just rolls forward…unthreatened.
9. In 1993, a directive from the U.S. ambassador (Peter Galbraith) wanted his station chief to confirm for Croatian intelligence that the United States did not object to Iran establishing an arms pipeline to the Muslim-led government of neighboring Bosnia-Herzegovina. Unwilling to arm Bosnia directly for fear that would collapse the Atlantic alliance and land U.S. troops in the middle of a Balkan mess, yet convinced military pressure on the Serbs was the only way to halt the fighting, the proposal to allow Iran to arm Bosnia via Croatia ensured weapons would reach the flailing Sarajevo government without American "fingerprints." Nothing was said publicly of the deal between the two ideologically opposed governments, one radical Islamic, the other rigidly Roman Catholic, even though a year earlier the United States ordered the Croats to turn back an Iranian jumbo jet loaded with weapons that landed in Zagreb. Because the Iranians distrusted the Croats, whose proxies in Bosnia had been at war with the mostly Muslim government army since March 1993, they made the arms deal contingent on guarantees that weapons would reach Bosnia's Muslim fighters, U.S. government sources said.
11. Following Jimmy Carter’s request, Saddam Hussein did in fact invade Iran in 1980. And for sure Iran suffered a brutal invasion and an 8 year war that resulted in more than 500,000 casualties, and the destruction of many of its precious towns and cities. Not unreasonably, for Iran’s Mullahs who were nearly toppled by Saddam’s invasion, Saddam Hussein was a blood enemy. And guess who toppled him? George Bush! Yes, the United States committed almost half a trillion dollars and over 4000 lives to toppling Iran’s number one enemy: Saddam Hussein. And who rules Iraq now? Iraq whole ruling government and cabinet have all spent considerable time in Iran as refugees – all trained and financed by Iran’s Mullahs.
19. The new constitution of Afghanistan, established the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan; and the new constitution for Iraq established the Islamic Republic of Iraq. Guess who wrote the constitutions? Yes, American diplomats and they were modeled on the constitution of guess where? Iran!! If the Mullahs were so bad, and the theocracy in Iran was so counter to the wishes of the United States, why draft identical constitutions to Iran’s. Oh and by the way, the puppet regime in Pakistan (that was provided with Nuclear weapons by the United States as a counter weight to India’s Nuclear weapons) is also (yes, you guessed it) The Islamic Republic of Pakistan!
20. US funds dry up for Iran rights watchdog. Just as the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center was ramping up to investigate abuses of protesters after this summer’s disputed presidential election, the group received word that - for the first time since it was formed – it’s federal funding request had been denied. “If there is one time that I expected to get funding, this was it," said Rene Redman, the group’s executive director, who had asked for $2.7 million in funding for the next two years. "I was surprised, because the world was watching human rights violations right there on television." (10/6/09)
21. The US Administration plans to use Iranian troops to help clean up the mess in Iraq and Afghanistan. Look at how Defense Secretary Robert Gates and former Carter National Security Advisor Zbignew Brzezinski propose to enlist Iran’s help in stabilizing Iraq and Afghanistan in a 2004 report for the Council on Foreign Relations: “From the perspective of U.S. interests, one particular issue area appears particularly ripe for U.S.-Iranian engagement : the future of Iraq and Afghanistan. The United States has a direct and compelling interest in ensuring both countries’ security and the success of their post-conflict governments. Iran has demonstrated its ability and readiness to use its influence constructively in these two countries, but also its capacity for making trouble. The United States should work with Tehran to capitalize on Iran’s influence to advance the stability and consolidation of its neighbors. This could commence via a resumption and expansion of the Geneva track discussions with Tehran on post-conflict Afghanistan and Iraq. Such a dialogue should be structured to obtain constructive Iranian involvement in the process of consolidating authority within the central governments and rebuilding the economies of both Iraq and Afghanistan. Regular contact with Iran would also provide a channel to address concerns that have arisen about its activities and relationships with competing power centers in both countries.”
22. While Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium, Iran is the world's largest consumer. In an age when spy satellites can read a newspaper on the ground -- does anyone doubt the U.S. government's capability to find the poppy field plantations in Afghanistan? Is any one telling me that they have been scouring the terrain to find bin Laden and they haven't come across any poppy fields? And, the US government even had the audacity to pen up an editorial in the Washington Post, basically saying nothing will be done in Afghanistan (to eliminate drug production). The Mullahs have bought into America’s redevelopment plan for Afghanistan, at the price of Iran’s next generation.
24. Iran can also put useful pressure on the Arabs. Here is a transcript of an interview with a very senior Air Force officer: “Believe it or not, there are some potential benefits to the United States should Iran build a bomb. Five possibilities come to mind. First, Iran’s development of nuclear weapons would give the United States an opportunity to finally defeat violent Sunni-Arab terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. Here’s why: a nuclear Iran is primarily a threat to its neighbors, not the United States. Thus Washington could offer regional security — primarily, a Middle East nuclear umbrella — in exchange for economic, political and social reforms in the autocratic Arab regimes responsible for breeding the discontent that led to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Until now, the Middle East autocracies have refused to change their ways because they were protected by the wealth of their petroleum reserves. A nuclear Iran alters the regional dynamic significantly, and provides some leverage for us to demand reforms. What about the downside — that an unstable, anti-American regime would be able to start a nuclear war? Actually, that’s less of a risk than most people think. Unless the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameini, and his Guardian Council chart a course that no other nuclear power has ever taken, Iran should become more responsible once it acquires nuclear weapons rather than less. The 50-year standoff between the Soviet Union and the United States was called the cold war thanks to the deterrent effect of nuclear weapons.
25. Iran has probably lost a complete generation of doctors, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, you name it. A very large group of highly educated, trained and experienced professionals were lost to the ’79 revolution. More than 1 million Iranians live overseas in a Diaspora of professionals producing more value and wealth (estimated at greater than $200 Billion) more than the entire nation of Iran today (with a GNP of $118 Billion). A wise government in Tehran would have recognized the immense value of this generation and found a way to harbor them for the nations benefit, but they prefer to have them be productive for the West.

27. Although federal law prohibits U.S. companies from trading with Iran, it does not forbid foreign subsidiaries from such business ties. Halliburton's Cayman Islands subsidiary sold $63 million worth of oil products to Iran in 2003. Former US vice-president Dick Cheney was Haliburton’s former CEO.
30. The volume of trade between Iran and the United States hit $623 million in 2008. According to the US Census Bureau, the value of US exports to Iran reached $93 million in 2007 and increased to $537 million in 2008. However US imports from Iran decreased to $86 million in 2008, while the figure stood at $148 million in 2007. This data does not include trade through third countries to circumvent the trade embargo. Top US exports to Iran include cigarettes ($73 million), corn ($68 million); chemical wood pulp, soda or sulphate ($64 million); soybeans ($43 million); medical equipment ($27 million); vitamins ($18 million); and vegetable seeds ($12 million). The value of cigarettes sold to Iran was more than twice that of the No. 2 category on the export list, vaccines, serums and blood products ($73 million).There is this constant air of deniability when it comes to admitting America’s secret relations with Iran’s Mullahs. Every once in a while there is a newspaper article about an imminent invasion, or a naval blockage, or a new round of sanctions or a covert war against Iran, yet strangely, nothing of substance ever happens. Iran you see is part of the Axis of Evil.
The simple fact is that the severe negative qualities of the Iranian regime appear fit well into U.S. foreign policy. The mullahs have served the United States in ways the Shah of Iran never could! It has been 30 years of non-stop back room deals, with upmost deniability by Iran’s Mullah Masters – the U.S. It seems that for most of 30 years, we seem to have had an Evangelist Christian in the White House and an Islamic anti-Communist group in charge of Iran. They remain bosom buddies. They have fooled everyone!

Ref. # 9
by Rea on Sun Apr 25, 2010 07:50 AM PDTYes, it is a fact that Iranian arms destined to Bosnia transited Croatia. And yes, CIA must've known about it and approved it tacitly. But to say the deal had been struck directly between IRI and US seems far fetched.
Btw, would not call the two governments neither "rigidly catholic" (Croatia) nor "radical islamic" (Bosnia).
I'm reading this and its
by timothyfloyd on Sun Apr 25, 2010 05:26 AM PDTI'm reading this and its very nicely written article,all respects but the first sentence says that General Huyser confirm's the US toppled the Shah?
I wonder how this could be because I know the General also said It was Impossible to keep the Shah in power.
I myself saw the hostages being taken and a crowd of Anti-Shah,very scary,hostile Islamic Revolution that went on.
'Toppled' is a huge exaggeration.
It's more like Push comes to Shove.
I'm tired of Iranian's thinking that about America,more reason to hate and not true.
The Shah's supporter's blamed the Shah for the failure of the Govt.They drove him out.This is all out Plain to see.
2 years later came the Algerian agreement so how is it that the US 'Imposed' Theocracy on Iran? That would be a backward order of how things happened.
Reagan was in bed with a few people,I will give you that and I also give it to him because he was the President...Yes He had his Sandinasta's.
And he was actually helping Iran selling them arms.
Iran was in a Very Brutal War at the time.
Carter was the one who screwed Iran,it's easy to find Anti-Carter signs from the Revolution.It's amazing how some Iranian's praise Carter now,I shake my head...
'Toppling the Regime' is not the only exaggeration like Robert Dreyfuss making the statement that the Islamic Regime rounded up and killed over 300,000 Communist's....???
I think Bernard Lewis is probably closer to the truth but still not there yet.
But from there,it's getting crazy..
Like saying the US shot down a Iranian passenger plane while both countries knew it was on purpose.
US was 'hoping' Croatian would open up Arms railway to Iran.
The US is sleeping with the Northern Alliance and the next night the Northern Alliance is sleeping with Iran.That's not a menage a trois but does pass disease.
I laugh at the one that makes it America's fault for getting Iran high on Afghani Poppi's..I'm begining to figure out where all this exaggeration is actually coming from when you wrote this a few years ago..
But of all your reasons,my favorite number one reason of all that the US is in bed with the Mullahs is:
Jimmy Carter told Saddam to attack Iran..
NUMERO UNO!!!
That pretty much proves that the US is in Bed with Iran..
But really before the US was in Bed with Iran,England was having babies with them.
Another crack up here is the 300,000 dead communists,and comrade says - Good Read...Crackin me up already

Maybe you are a Palestinian after all, Marge. You sure manage to bring the Palestinians into every conversation, somehow or other.
IRI represents political Islam, not Iran
Anglo/American Alliance
by Spear on Sun Apr 25, 2010 01:49 AM PDTSamsam, I think you're off the mark on this issue. Ebrahim Yazdi, was an American spy, no doubt about it, working with James Bill, who was a very major component in selling the idea of "Islamification" of Iran to Jimmy peanuts Carter. James Bill wrote a seminal paper in October 1978, specifically for Jimmy peanuts, advocating Khomeini's cause. Jimmy peanuts also sent General Huyser to Iran to neutralize the army -- this one single move basically sealed the revolution for the mullahs.
If the army had not declared neutrality, the akhunds would have had to come to the table and deal with Bakhtiar. Huyser made sure that the mullahs didn't have to do that -- in fact, Huyser pretty much sealed Bakhtiar's fate in 37 days.
The army's neutrality was THE most important factor in the fall of the monarchy. No one knew which way the army would go in the fall of 1978, and the mullahs were very worried that the generals would stage a coup. This undoubtedly would've delivered a blow to the mullah's plans. That's why Jimmy peanuts sent no other than the Commander of the Allied Forces at NATO, General Huyser, to extinguish the coup threat from the army. Thusly, Huyser and Peanuts sure as shit handed the revolution to Khomeini on a silver platter.
The theoreticians for the "green belt" theory (to surround Central Asia with anti-Soviet Islamic states) were Bernard Lewish and James Bill, with Zbig Brzezinsky playing the role of plan's spiritual leader. Peanuts was just a pawn enjoying the ride, a real Georgian peach. He had no clue really what was happening. In fact, he was expendable, which is why he was tossed out once the plan was carried out to fruition. Peanuts utterd the words "human rights" over 20 times in his inauguration speech. The ball was set in motion in 1976. After the installation of a far more brutal and blood-thirsty human rights violater in mullah Khomeini, the words "human rights" were never again to be uttered publicly by the thin, wormy lips of Jimmy P. The Georgian peach was nothing more than a Rockefeller/Standard Oil asset, played like a chum, a baffoon, played by the likes of Henry Kissinger and David Rockefeller.
There is no doubt, if you're objective, that there was a massive conspiracy in the removal of the Shah -- in fact, if you believe the L.A. Times, the plan to destabalize the Shah's regime started with the Ford Administration, with Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney -- two big players in this cherade, both of whom were trying to teach the Shah a lesson for playing hardball in terms of his post-1973 aggressive oil policies.
It's all there folks, history may be written by the victor, but the vanquished can learn to read between the lines and prevent the old adage: the past is prologue. All you have to do is be open-minded and objective -- heck, just look at what the Anglo/American alliance has given the world since 1914 (WWI, the state of Israel (Balfour Declaration), other artificial countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, UAE, etc., 1953 coup in Iran, Iraq War 2003 = all of these are indisputable, so is it so hard to believe that the UK/US also played a major role in the 1978 "Islamic" revolution???).
These are the facts, but you can fool yourself into believing that a koon-nashoor mullah from Khomein was the "architect" of this massive, game-changing upheaval (an event which over the last 30 years has netted savings/profits over $18,000,000,000 (trillions that is) for western oil companies/governments since the removal of the Shah and his bombastic price hikes). Interestingly, I happen to own a lease to a rather beautiful bridge in Brooklyn, and for those of you who believe that it was all just the "Ommaties," I will sacrifice my finances and sell you this prized historical erection for just $1,000.

The mullahs have bluffed their way into this position for 30 years. USA gov. is not a continuous entity. USA has Saudis and Iraqis now, they do not need Iran
I agree with Alex Trebek
by iranvataneman on Sat Apr 24, 2010 06:43 PM PDTWell said, doesn't matter, secularism, communism, Islamic revolutionary, fascist nationalist, any kind of govt. Iran can have that preserves nationalism and sovereignty, the U.S. are willing to take that away and install a puppet of some nature.
Nice try Jalil, but you fail miserably.
Jimmy Carter is a humanist, he gave back the Panama Canal back to Panama. He got rid of multiple PRO U.S. dictators, after his time finished, Reagan got rid of Communist and Leftist liberals installed by Carter, and replaced them by the same Pro U.S. dictators, Carter got rid of during his term.
Why else do you think Americans hate Carter?? He believed in fair competition, and did his best to weaken American Imperialism abroad, he even disrespected the Shah of Iran, which showed what he really thought about him all along, and how he supported the Iranian people through revolution.
However, the only reason France and German were excited for Khomeini to hurry up and arrive in Iran was because, they wanted to crush any kind of Communist or nationalist leader that can make quick relations with the USSR, or any other enemy of the U.S.
So their goal was, "we'll allow this stupid old man, who talks non-sense in power". He will be as useless as the millions of Muslim leaders we've hanged and ousted in the past. They made fun of him because he was old, and thought he's just another brick on the wall.
After they allowed him and the Iranian people to chose Islam and finalize it as their system. This won't bring back another Communist or Leftist threat. Subsequently, they decided to launch a dog eat dog capitalist war, through Iraq vs Iran.
1. Sanctions
2. A highly equipped Iraq
3. An Iran that was exploited by the shah and his croonies, and left with very little amount of resources and wealth
= guaranteed victory to topple the Iranian govt. within 5-10 years, and install a new shah or a dictator or presidential puppet of some nature. Did that happen?? Nope, utter fail, and what you saw was something phenomonal.
Neither the West (Capitalism) nor the East(Communism) has seen anything like it. There is neither West nor East Revolutions, there is only an Islamic Revolution. One that has triumped over all odds, one that has yet to fail, and that leads us where we are today.
On the brink of becoming a super power, and a major competitor in the world, under an Islamic state. Kemalism worked for Ataturk, State Capitalism worked for China, an Islamic system based on Shiite Ideals, science, knowledge, and pragmatic beliefs will work for Iran.
Middle East = Playground for USA; Precious shah is good example
by I Have a Crush on Alex Trebek on Sat Apr 24, 2010 05:53 PM PDTWe lost our beloved and mighty shah. We lost Mossadegh. We will probably lose IRI. It doesn't matter if we are Muslim or not. Even if we weren't a "muslim nation," the USA would be fucking around with Iran if the country doesn't do what the USA wants.
"KIaan" Zoroastrian, Muslim, Jewish.... does not matter. They fuck with Iran no matter what. I never see any American christians give a shit about dead Palestinian christians or the ones who are being driven out of Jerusalem. It's a dumb, stupid world.
The sad part is many of these ex pats on iranian.com think that this is about Islam and extremism. Joke is on them :)

Got to admit
by capt_ayhab on Sat Apr 24, 2010 02:57 PM PDTThere are some facts that are buried inside one of the most incoherent, digressing, and unorganized essays that I have ever read.
I stress again to the gentleman of the author, there are many proven facts to your research but the way you have presented all those valuable data, are nothing but incoherent, verbose and at best amateurish.
A blog should not be mistaken for a book and the other way arround. I have read this article at least 3 times and I keep getting lost in reason #4.
I would love to see you rewrite this in 2, 3 or even 4 segments concentrating on chronological aspects of your research, as opposed to trying to cram all in one piece in the hopes of capturing the readers.
Just a humble suggestion, and I am looking forward to your re-write and re-submission of this article.

Another Absolute NONSENCE!

This is getting old gentleman. Khomeini if anything destroyed the aspiration of the west and with it the SHAHOLAIS! Get used to it!
Too BAD for you guys! You have been making a FOOL of yourselves for 30 years! It is about time that you accept the realities on the GROUND!
Conspiracy theoricians & nonsenso-metric
by SamSamIIII on Sat Apr 24, 2010 12:44 PM PDTAmou bi khial. This paranoia is the same as those Schizofrenic ommaties who claime Louie Armstrong never landed on the moon or Americans killed 3000 of their own in 9/11.
Here is simplified lesson of Islamic revolution 101 for dummies ;
1-Ommaties & mullahs instigated , initiated & organised the unrest in Qom to regain their thousand yr old hold on power.
2-The gullible rest, followed mullah's cause for reasons such as boredom, adventure, free gas or lil bit of freedom wishfully hallucinating that the outcome will be different than what the main organizers & propogators advertise it to be.
3-Islamic republic was born. The gullible herd not being able to deal with reality of what just happened & their own wishfull idiocy invented the term ; "hijacked revolution". But the morons never realize that it was never their "revolution" to begin with for it to be hijacked.
The ommaties are correct to point out that this was truly an ommatie revolution from the get go , initiated,funded,organised & utilised by mullah class which was joined by the herd of clueless wishing to see a frog having a baby prince.
Deal with it & stop the nonsense!

This book is a must read!
by vildemose on Sat Apr 24, 2010 12:34 PM PDTA Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order (Paperback
//www.amazon.com/Century-War-Anglo-American-Politics-World/dp/074532309X
Here are some excerpts: "In November 1978, President Carter named the Bilderberg group's George Ball, another member of the Trilateral Commission, to head a special White House Iran task force under the National Security Council's Brzezinski. Ball recommended that Washington drop support for the Shah of Iran and support the fundamentalistic Islamic opposition of Ayatollah Khomeini. Robert Bowie from the CIA was one of the lead 'case officers' in the new CIA-led coup against the man their covert actions had placed into power 25 years earlier. Their scheme was based on a detailed study of the phenomenon of Islamic fundamentalism, as presented by British Islamic expert, Dr. Bernard Lewis, then on assignment at Princeton University in the United States. Lewis's scheme, which was unveiled at the May 1979 Bilderberg meeting in Austria, endorsed the radical Muslim Brotherhood movement behind Khomeini, in order to promote balkanization of the entire Muslim Near East along tribal and religious lines. Lewis argued that the West should encourage autonomous groups such as the Kurds, Armenians, Lebanese Maronites, Ethiopian Copts, Azerbaijani Turks, and so forth. The chaos would spread in what he termed an 'Arc of Crisis,' which would spill over into Muslim regions of the Soviet Union. The coup against the Shah, like that against Mossadegh in 1953, was run by British and American intelligence, with the bombastic American, Brzezinski, taking public 'credit' for getting rid of the 'corrupt' Shah, while the British characteristically remained safely in the background. During 1978, negotiations were under way between the Shah's government and British Petroleum for renewal of the 25-year old extraction agreement. By October 1978, the talks had collapsed over a British 'offer' which demanded exclusive rights to Iran's future oil output, while refusing to guarantee purchase of the oil. With their dependence on British-controlled export apparently at an end, Iran appeared on the verge of independence in its oil sales policy for the first time since 1953, with eager prospective buyers in Germany, France, Japan and elsewhere. In its lead editorial that September, Iran's Kayhan International stated: In retrospect, the 25-year partnership with the [British Petroleum] consortium and the 50-year relationship with British Petroleum which preceded it, have not been satisfactory ones for Iran � Looking to the future, NIOC [National Iranian Oil Company] should plan to handle all operations by itself. London was blackmailing and putting enormous economic pressure on the Shah's regime by refusing to buy Iranian oil production, taking only 3 million or so barrels daily of an agreed minimum of 5 million barrels per day. This imposed dramatic revenue pressures on Iran, which provided the context in which religious discontent against the Shah could be fanned by trained agitators deployed by British and U.S. intelligence. In addition, strikes among oil workers at this critical juncture crippled Iranian oil production. As Iran's domestic economic troubles grew, American 'security' advisers to the Shah's Savak secret police implemented a policy of ever more brutal repression, in a manner calculated to maximize popular antipathy to the Shah. At the same time, the Carter administration cynically began protesting abuses of 'human rights' under the Shah. British Petroleum reportedly began to organize capital flight out of Iran, through its strong influence in Iran's financial and banking community. The British Broadcasting Corporation's Persian-language broadcasts, with dozens of Persian-speaking BBC 'correspondents' sent into even the smallest village, drummed up hysteria against the Shah. The BBC gave Ayatollah Khomeini a full propaganda platform inside Iran during this time. The British government-owned broadcasting organization refused to give the Shah's government an equal chance to reply. Repeated personal appeals from the Shah to the BBC yielded no result. Anglo-American intelligence was committed to toppling the Shah. The Shah fled in January, and by February 1979, Khomeini had been flown into Tehran to proclaim the establishment of his repressive theocratic state to replace the Shah's government. Reflecting on his downfall months later, shortly before his death, the Shah noted from exile, I did not know it then � perhaps I did not want to know � but it is clear to me now that the Americans wanted me out. Clearly this is what the human rights advocates in the State Department wanted � What was I to make of the Administration's sudden decision to call former Under Secretary of State George Ball to the White House as an adviser on Iran? � Ball was among those Americans who wanted to abandon me and ultimately my country.[1][1]

old article but an
by vildemose on Sat Apr 24, 2010 12:04 PM PDTold article but an excellent one:
Khomeini, the master politician that he was, knowing the imperialists' liking for abundance of possibilities, benefited from the favors rendered him by imperialists, who, in turn, saw in Khomeini a great anti-communist like they would not see too frequently, a person whom Zbigniew Brzezinski called a 'strategic ally'. (3)
This should not come as a surprise in view of the historical landscape of the Iranian ruling classes' particular components as shown above. The mullahs, in their latest occupancy of what they consider their rightful place in the seat of power have been extremely helpful to the imperialists, by wiping out at least two generations' worth of leftist achievements in Iran, sending an entire social movement into exile, into jails, or executed in thousands.
In an excellent 1991 article, titled, Iran: Unholy Alliances, Holy Terror, in CAQ # 37, an impressive inventory is listed of favors exchanged between both the U.S. and the Israelis with Iran's Islamic Republic. This, just in case the mere mention of the phrase 'Iran-Contra Affair' is not enough to jog the memory of the reader regarding such behind the scenes collaborations between Khomeini's regime and the imperialists.

A historical fact
by Exir on Sat Apr 24, 2010 10:51 AM PDTKhomeini was brought to power in order to provide the Green Belt zone against the Eastern block. Nothing more, nothing less.
It was Iran that influenced
by shahanshahesmail on Sat Apr 24, 2010 10:41 AM PDTIt was Iran that influenced the draft constitutions of hte islamic republic of afghanistan and the islamic state of iraq (not the islamic republic of iraq) , America went out of its way to prevent an islamic state in both , even the generals in an anti democratic way when asked about irans influence in both countries , they said they will NEVER allow those nations to become islamic states (not much they could do about that) .
The same lie that khomeini was brought into power by foreigners is a fantastic one , khomeini was fearless , charismatic , was in deep connection with the islamic people at the time , didnt fear death and challenged head on the "wretched , miserable" man as he said known as the shah. The shahs downfall was that he was brought into power by UK and the USA , you got it the other way round , the overthrow of mossadegh was USA and UK done . Khomeinis islamic revolution was entirely unorchestrated and the USA even threatened to invade iran if any of its embassy staff were killed.
I say again , desperate opinions to water down an impact of a revolution that overthrow a puppet american who spoke farsi does no replace actual sourced , credible and factual reporting.
produce your proofs.
Lots of incorrect information but
by HHH on Sat Apr 24, 2010 10:30 AM PDTUS/UK/France/Russia did plan and implement regime change in Iran and afghanistan. They also lubricated every single process in Khomeini's success.
Thanks Jalil, excellent blog
by Bugsy on Sat Apr 24, 2010 10:23 AM PDTNo wonder we are stuck in the third-world list. According to some HADITHS, our students have been busy seizing foreign embassies, and confiscating COCA-COLA plants, instead of going to school. No thanks to MULLAHS.
Fake , every last part of it.
by shahanshahesmail on Sat Apr 24, 2010 10:09 AM PDTI have neither the time or the patience to go through everything on this list.
ill just say coke and pepsi are NOT readily available in iran , the coca cola factory was siezed by islamist students after the revolution and they controlled it and marketed a new drink , with the same flavour as coca cola , since the recipe was in their hands now , zam zam cola is what they have now , not readily available coca cola .
you may be able to fool people on this website with a list of untruths with your chalabi tactics but people who have lived and visit regularly iran , who speaks to mullahs personally unlike those here who throw insults at them without ever meeting any , who has been from azerbaijan to balochistan , know that your information is obtained from a place in the rear of the human body.
also the bank account details are completely fake , The USA has sanctions on Iran and always attacks iran with falsehood and lies , Iran counters with death to america and scorching attacks . Another outstanding lie in the so called bank accounts is exposing client bank account details , imagine the bank letting my bank information loose to people who hate me , I can sue their asses for every penny they have.
Next youll be telling us khamenei is actually from houston texas and ahmadinejad is japanese , george bushes real surname is actually ahmadinejad , nixon was khomeinis brother , and jimmy carter was campaigning for the overthrow of the shah.
Thank god the exiles are made up of you people .
I implore you guys to use real , sourced , factual , identifiable , resourced , provable and actual information . Your getting yourselves nowhere with desperate opinions motivated by a deep desire to attack the islamic boogey man .
