Neoconservatives Promoting Return of Son of Shah to Iran
Today, however, the time has come to write a new chapter in the history of my country.
My goal is simple, achievable and straightforward. I envision an Iran: wherein its prosperous economy gives every Iranian an equal chance for hope and opportunity; An Iran where its women fully participate in the political, socio-economic and cultural life of their homeland; An Iran where its press is free from intimidation, harassment, imprisonment and torture; This vision includes a progressive, civil and stable society in which the separation of Religion and State is recognized. Finally, the Iran of tomorrow ought to have a foreign policy based on principles of harmony and mutual respect.
Yes, yes, a return to the planting and nurturing of CIA puppets that brutalize and terrorize their subjects is in full bloom ...
Grandfather Reza Khan was a respected warfighter in the Cossack Brigade in the late 1800's, and ultimately led a coup to rid the country of a government that allowed British, Russian and Ottoman troops to occupy Iran during World War I. Khan became Prime Minister of the new government and four years later in 1925, ascended to the throne replacing the weakly Ahmad Mirza Shah. He took the name Reza Shah Pahlavi (Reza Shah Kabir or Reza Shah the Great) and the dynasty was underway.
According to IranChamber.com "Reza Shah introduced many great reforms, reorganizing the army, government administration, and finances. He abolished all special rights granted to foreigners, thus gaining real independence for Iran. Under Reza Shah's 16 years of rule, roads and Trans-Iranian Railway were built, modern education was introduced and the University of Tehran was established, and for the first time, systematic dispatch of Iranian students to Europe was started. Industrialization of the country was stepped-up, and achievements were great. By the mid 1930's Reza Shah's dictatorial style of rule caused dissatisfaction in Iran. In World War II the Allies protested his rapprochement with the Germans, and in 1941 British and Russian forces invaded and occupied Iran. Forced to abdicate in favor of his son, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, he died in exile in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1944."
Like father like son, so yet another cliche has it, and Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi was also forced to abdicate and subsequently died in 1980, exiled in Egypt. This Shah of Iran was embroiled in the CIA coup that ousted quixotic Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq and was a pawn of successive American administrations during the Cold War, which pitted the USSR against the USA. His popular legacy is the current theocratic regime in Iran and SAVAK--the brutal intelligence arm of the Shah. For a short time, though, he waived the flag of democratic reform and Iranians had high hopes for democracy. He instituted the White Revolution, a 1963 program that included land reform, the extension of voting rights to women, and the elimination of illiteracy. But the trappings of power, fear of opposition groups, and insensitivity towards Islam (Arab Muslims conquered Iran in roughly 650 BCE) led him, like his father, into an insular dictatorship and all the wretched practices that method entails.

MOSADEGH WAS AGENT OF RUSSIAN SIMPOTIZERS,TRYING TO DEAL/SELL OUR OIL WITH PRE ARRANGED MARKETTING TO RUSSIAN'S.
PROVOKING THE OIL MANIFACTURERS UNION.

WHAT SHAH DID WAS CALM THE PEOPLE,CARRIED ON OIL DEVELOPMENT AND AS PROMISSED,STARTED OPEC YEARS LATER,AND IN LAST YEARS BEFORE OUR REVELOTION(WASNOT MINE)DR.J.AMOSEGAR WAS CHAIR MAN OF OPEC(HE WAS OUR PRIMINESTER ).
SHAH DIDNOT LET ANY ONE,ANY ONE KNOW HE WAS SICK WITH TERMINAL DISEASE,MOSADEGH,EVERY TIME PARLIMENT REQUESTED HIM TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF THEM AND EXPLAIN HIS POSITION WHY NOT HELPING THE OIL WORKERS UNION TO GO BACK TO WORK,HE WAS IN HIS PIJ,
AT HOME,SMOKING HEROIN,THERE ARE VERY WELL KNOWN PIC IN NEWS MEDIA SHOWING HIM ,TALKING TO REPORTERS FROM BED AND SMALL MANGHAL AND VAFOUR BY THE BED(ITS TOOLS TO SMOKE HEROIN).
SHAH COULD HAVE STOP THE REVELOUTION,BUT AS HE SAID IN THE AIRPORT ON THE WAY OUT WAS,(HISTORY WILL WRITE ABOUT ME AND MR KHOMEINI).
HE JAILED ONE OF HIS FOUR STAR GENERALS(GOOD CHILD HOOD FRIEND)WHEN FOUND OUT HE IS PLANNING TO SHOOT DOWN THE PLANE CARRING KHOMEINI TO TEHRAN'S AIR PORT(I WISH SOME ONE WOULD HAVE).
HE DID NOT STEAL ANY NATIONAL TREASURES,HIS WIFE,MY QUEEN,FARAH PAHLAVIE,IS WORKING DEDICATEDLY FOR PEACE AND THE NEEDED HELP FOR POOR IMIGRANTS.

TO THE GENT WHO WRITES ABOUT SAVAK...I LAUGH AT YOUR IGNORENCE.
I AM SURE YOU PROBABLY NEVER MET ANY ONE WORK FOR SAVAK,OR THE 3RD DEPT OVER LOOKING AT SAVAK OR THE SHAH'S OFFICE OVER LOOKING AT ALL CONDUCTS.
DO YOU KNOW ONCE JUST WITH ONE LETTER SHAH ORDERED HIS OWN BROTHER BE BROUGHT AND PROSECUTED IN A LAND DEAL,WHITCH HE PAID CHEAP PRICE TO A SMALL LAND OWNER?
I DONOT KNOW WHERE TO START OR TO END.IF JUST HAVING AN INTELIGENT AGENCY IS WRONG,THEN DO ME A FAIVOR READ 600 YEAR OLD BOOK OF MAKIAVELLI"THE PRINCE".
THATS WHY ABOUT TWO YEARS BEFORE REVELUTION SHAH WAS WARNED BY FRENCH PRIMINESTER AND INTELIGENT THAT REVELOUTION AGAINST HIM IS UNDER WAY..I BET YOU DIDNOT KNOW THAT.
WHY HE DIDNOT DO ANYTHING??
YOU BE HIM...KNOW YOU HAVE CANCER..POWERS AGAINST YOU ARE UNBEATABLE..HE PUT HIS TRUST IN TO GOD AND PEOPLE...BUT AND THATS THE BUT PEOPLE FOR YEARS LIVED SO COMFORTABALY,THEY EVEN BELIVED WELL IT COULD BE BETTER...AND THEN THE GIULT OF RELIGOUNS(IF ASK ME,MOST ATROSITIES ARE COMITTED IN THE HISTORY OF MAN KIND IN THE NAME OF GOD AND RELIGEON).
