Pictory

Good video with rare footage

excellent reminder for those who love to forget about Shah's brutal repression, poverty and SVAK torture.

The crew seems like sympathetic leftists.

Marg Bar Shah!

The man at 3:00

His name is supposed to be "Abol Ghassam Sadegh".

Anyone know what happened to him?

If he is alive, would want to hear from him?

Or you prefer for him to drop his head in shame, and just go away, back to the 7-11 he owns in LA?

The Shah was implicated

30 years of one of the most vile systems of governance in man kind history shows that the Shah was an angel compared to what Islam has doen to us.  He was correct in thinking he could rid us of Islam.  Perhaps his strategy was wrong but his path was righteous.  Only if Islam is removed from the equation of the Iranain society would we ever see peace and prosperity.

Shah in 1953 killed 15000 people in one day??????????????

and killed more than 60,000 people and crippled/injured more than 100,000 people during the 6 months of revolution?????????????

(From Part 1 - min 4:10 by the bastard hostage taker!)

So let's get this right.... Shah killed equal or more than Khmer Rouge genociode in cambodia, in the Ottoman Empire during the Armenian genocide, in Nazi Germany, and more recently in East Timor, Guatemala, Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Iraq, Afghanistan and to be continued.... Wow! so Shah IN ONE DAY!!! broke the all time records of all genocides committed in the history of mankind and the whole world didn't know it, but the Islamists in Iran!!!!!

These lies were the biggest red flags next to thousands of more reasons for Iranians not to commit such unrepairable mistake in their lives...

That alone goes to show you how ignorant people who made the revolution happen were...only if people in Iran were not that uninformed and ignorant, they would not believe the lies of such magnitude by such bastards...

Despite many of his efforts to modernize Iran rapidly, Shah was unfortunately very disconnected with his people Due to many Khaens around him who were filling their own pockets...) and did not invest properly to educate Iranian people and provide them with better social and economical prosperity with so much wealth in that country....

Furthermore, many of those Traitors around him convinced him of the importance of Savak to capture all those Islamic bastard terrorists which also lead to torture and killing of many other disturbed and hopeless Iranians inside the country that were simply not happy with their own lives...

During Shah (early 70s up to 1979) and according to Amnesty International, the number of political prisoners in Iran were around 7 or 8000 people! Shah claimed there were maximum 3000 and called them terrorists (rightfully so...) But still didn't kill them!!!

All those terrorists later became the most important figures in the Islamic regime to present moment (including the heads of Green movement!!!)

Shah was not a RIGHT KING for Iran and Iranians at the time and made many mistakes, but he was not a cold blooded torturer, rapist and Killer like the present Evil Islamic regime and all its collaborators from 1979 to present....

History has proved this one to all Iranians by now! After 30 years of most horrific Islamic regime in charge, Iranians have evolved and matured... Besides the real pain that educated them, global progress in technology and modernity played the biggest role in informing the masses in Iran. Had Shah been in power, people would have been equaly informed if not more...

Islamic bastard Iranians were full of lies then and are still now...

A reader of Aftab Yazd newspaper calls in and says:

ديگر نمي‌دانيم بايد به چه كساني اعتماد كرد و به چه كساني راي
داد؛‌آنهايي كه با طاغوت مبارزه كردند و زندان رفتند و شكنجه شدند ودر
تسخير لا‌نه جاسوسي آمريكا نقش داشتند ودر جبهه و پشت جبهه خدمت كرده‌اند
و ما به آنها 26 سال اعتماد كرديم حالا‌ توسط برادران انتظامي و سپاه
دستگير و زنداني شدند و اعتراف مي‌كنند كه با دشمنان هم صدا بودند، پس
ديگر نبايد به كسي اعتماد كرد و راي داد.

video clips of what was wrong with Iran in 1979

Every thing in 1979 was either blamed on the U.S.A. or the Shah. 

The Iranian Constitution before 1979 gave the Shah the right to dismiss anyone from government he pleased.

The video clip refers to the events of 1953.

In 1953 the Shah had the power to dismiss Prime Minister Mossadegh.  That power was given to the Shah by the Iranian Constitution.

It was disgusting that the Iranians in the clip were happy that the Shah was supposedly arrested in Panama.  How can a people desire the arrest of their leader.  Have they no self respect?

Why are they upset at President Carter?  President Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize and built houses for the homeless for Habitat for humanity.

Look what carter said about the Shah and Iran:

Look how American Presidents viewed Iran:

And look how President Obama talks to Iran and the Iranian government:

It is disgusting how the Iranian people acted in 1979.  They should be ashamed of themselves.

Moving clips, thank you

I found these clips a moving reminder that regardless of the different ideologies and appearances, how history repeats itself.  The oppression, the imprisonment and torture, the gathering of dissent, the hope and the struggle for freedom, the euphoria of victory, the idol making and the absence of a defined vision on the part of the population.  We think we know what we don't want but we don't know what we are replacing it with.  People endure suffering, make sacrifices and fight heroically, but soon the vacuum of their independent vision is filled in by the visions and interests of those few who sail to power on the storm of discontent and dissent of the population, who demand obedience, loyalty and blood, as did the previous rulers. The talk by Ramsey Clark about the US's need for recognition of the past mistakes, acknowledgment of truth, and non-interference in the affairs of other nations is as relevant now as it was then.  

what a bunch of ungrateful idiots!

half of them are dead or crippled.....
