Great POST Sargord!

by P_J on

How TRUE....How TRUE, trouble is that lies and untruths have never been bothersome to this guy who either lives in a world of self-deception, FANTACY or  being royally compensated by Pahlavi’s stolen, and EMBEZELLED loot!

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the TRAITOR, was and will always be considered the most OBIDIENT of all the stooges that CIA has ever had!   I don’t believe that this COWARD even DARED using the bathroom without their permission.

    

One of the main reasons, amongst many, compelling to me for reaching this conclusion was reading a section of a book titled “Shah Making in Iran”, authored by Kermit Roosevelt, which I have not been able to locate, the architect of “Operation AJAX”, the 1953 coup.

Roosevelt writes, that for many years “Your Majesty” had to report to a low level CIA operative/agent in Iran, at Agent’s choice of location(s), Shaming Iran and Iranians as much as or worse than Ahmadinejad has ever done!

Thank you Republican جمهوریخواه Jaan

Mind you this photo is Prior to the so called Coup of '53 ...

However in my humble opinion The Real Question is why did his Majesty do what you claim AFTER the fatal events of '53 given that he himself apparently did not aspire to absolute Power for the first 12 years of his reign ? ...

Historian and academic Abbas Milani seems to have an Idea ...

I have an opinion on that matter too:

Thanks Mr.Kadivar

by Republican جمهوریخواه on

I see nothing wrong with the top image of this good blog. The problem arose when His Majesty included the members of His royal family in his entourage for the next opening sessions, pushed the politicians and diplomats further down to the back seats, and moved the ceremony to the senate building with no Quranic verse hanging over His Majestic Head.

More cornball YouTube clips? Quit wasting your time, nobody bothers with your tiring lists of linked videos.

Besides using cut and past with a simple graphics program, and linking to other people's YouTube clips, is there anything else you might be capable of? Doesn't seem so.

Translated transcript of Shah's speech

by Sargord Pirouz on

Translated transcript of speech:

"I am a little stoogie of the US. You'll remember, my daddy was given the boot, being kicked out of your country by the British. But I'm cool with that. The Americans have promised me that that won't happen to me since I'm their little stoogie."

"And if for some reason, I have to turn coward and run, my American masters have assured me they'll stage a coup so I'll be able to sneak back in. This is all great news for my family, since we plan on robbing the country blind. But I have to confess, 25 years from now I may yet turn yellow and have to cut and run."

"But do not fret, there'll still be a few middle-aged suckers that will remain brainwashed, pining for the return of a really archaic stoogie, in the form of my wannabe stoogie son. At least, this is all according to my astrologer."

"Now kiss my hand, suckers!"
