The 1979 Devolution Was The Perfect Fit For Iranians
by Anonymous Observer
24-Nov-2012
 

We—I—always fret about how the 1979 devolution destroyed us… and how we wanted freedom and that the Devolution was hijacked, etc.  But if you really think about it, deep down inside---somewhere in the deep, dark recesses of the Iranian collective psyche---the Devolution—and its macabre outcome--were EXACTLY what the Iranian masses were looking for.  The fiasco allowed Iranians to let it all out: it allowed them to exercise, and to put on display, their suppressed, yet ever present cultural absurdities.  Here are a few—yet by no means an exhaustive list—of examples. 

1.  Modernity vs. backwards religious fundamentalism: seriously folks, look at the photos at the bottom of this link.  Shah and his wife on the beach, in bathing suits and with their dog?!!! Are you kidding me?  Seriously…do you think that this is image Iranians wanted to see?  Give me a break!  This is what Iranians want to see of their leader and his wife: with the woman wrapped in a sheet and walking five steps behind his man.  A leader in a bathing suit and his wife in a bikini might as well be from planet Mars as far as Iranians are concerned.

2.  Iranians just loooooove anyone in a turban who spews Arabic verses and makes them cry.  It’s a fact. We have twelve official dead ones and thousands of little dead ones one whom we spend billions each year, and in return, we ask them to provide us with everything from a cure to paralysis to a better sex life.  So, it’s natural that would pledge allegiance to an actual live version of a turbaned guy who could spew Arabic in his speeches and promise them heaven. Remember: Shah spoke English, the language of the imperialists, Zionists, capitalists, etc.  So, it was just natural for Iranians to hate him.

3.  Iranians are frustrated imperialist wannabes

.  They’re bitter about losing their empire and all that glory, and are very envious of nations who have taken what they believe to be their rightful place in managing the world.  So, the Devolution allowed them an endless, and ever lasting opportunity, to display their feelings in that regard in the form of nonstop “arbadeh keshi” and flag burning.

4.  Iranians looooove attacking embassies and killing diplomatic staff.  Seriously, no other nation in modern history has attacked so many embassies and killed so many embassy staff.  And it didn’t start with the Islamic Republic.  Oh no, it started in the Qajar era, when they attacked the Russian embassy, killed the ambassador and put his head on a stick on a kabab stand.  The poor Shah and his father were the only barriers between Iranians and their natural instinct to attack diplomats.  Then came the IR, which lifted the barrier and made attacking embassies an Iranian national sport

5.  Iranians are deep down anti-Semites, and believe in Jewish conspiracy theories.  Don’t believe me?  Just read some of the blogs on this site and you will see.  The Devolution has made anti-Semitism a cornerstone of its existence and openly advertises it, thereby allowing the masses to follow suit and let that dark secret to also “all hang out.”  Seriously, what do you expect from a culture that instructs you not to touch a Jew (or a Baha’i for that matter) after rain so that you don’t become “najes?”

So please, next time you hear someone say that the 1979 Devolution was “hijacked” and mullahs “took advantage of the people,” tell him/her to go screw himself/herself.  The Devolution and its results fit the Iranian society and culture like a glove!

AO there are things you can not comprehend regarding tyranny

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

of thought and expression as delivered by the IRI militia, Irans case is different because it is the USA/UK/France/Germany/Israel who do all they can to keep the IRI in power and get those that work against the IRI killed at the hands of the IRI.  Covertly with out public knowledge. "Free society my ass."

In 1979 when the embassy was taken rooms of documents were shredded by marines, which the IRI later had put togehter to humiliate the USA, in those documents there are thousands of Iranians who names were reported to the PLO Trained, US Paid for, pro-khomeini militia who were killed by the IRI goons because they had organizations and groups that were pro-democratic and the USA and west aim was to thwart Iran.  So Not all Iranians are worthless, sick character as you suggest, though many are as 1979 also proved. 

Many went to their deaths unknowingly as the west helped install the IRI in the political turmoil the west had created.  In 2009 not only was Obama not on the side of the people, but the west were busy helping provide the IRI the technology they needed to crush the protests and dissent, so the IRI had devices given to police to locate a person based on his/her cell phone to within inches that had told others about meeting up to protest. 

This technology which had been developed to catch drug dealers, was a game changer for the IRI and how they clamped down on Iranians. It was authorized by the UK foreign office at the highest levels because it is the policy of the west, and each of these western countries works on enslaving Iran in coorperation with the others. 

So unless you know the extent of what is going on your views are going to be innaccurate regarding what Iranians are suffering from and how tough their struggle really is in comparison to struggles in Canada and the USA and France for example.  People power doesn't work when it is being stiffled on a scale you have no idea.

The numbers of mass graves no one even has an estimate, its not like the hospitals were allowed to count the bodies which were pilling up, the numbers were very high at each of a dozen hospitals, with eyewitnesses throwing out guesses, because numbers at each were high, thats not including the unofficial murders using hundreds of parking lots and containers full of people who were put in thanks to USA/UK/French/Canadian/Germany Technologies used to kill protestors, who were never seen again or reported.  Today Iran has thousands of young people who's parents have reported the as gone missing after the election.  And the parents can not even go public (even though you and I may be certain they are dead)

The reason I agree with you on the worthless and ungrateful Iranians, is a reflection at how many of them there were in 1979, like the zendanians after the shahs years of service.  Before he came the only way to get around tehran was on a donkey and unlike other countries that had oil wealth but corrupt systems that would not help the people, the shah really helped the people, had over 5 anti-corruption agencies, with a team that created the largest growth in middle class in the world as a percent of population and a world class advanced air force and army that was the envy of most countries.  The peoples response to the shah was very trashy and disingenuous in the face of so much honesty and generosity on his part.

He lost his life for a people that mostly had no love for him.  If they mostly loved him his fate would have been very diffferent.  Maybe he had to stay as his family circumstance meant that he could not leave and I am sure living in the cruelty anti-monarchists had created he felt he needed to do something, but surely not risk his life alone.

Zendanian is obsessed with a Monarchist narrative, its because he is an anti-monarchist and he has a problem with people who see most of truth.

by Anonymous Observer on

don't give a rat's a*s about his sister not being able to attend a soccer match.  Doesn't that bother your conscience?  That's not a "monarchist narrative," it's a narrative of decency.  What's your opinion on why people don't protest gender apartheid in Iran by a simple boycott of soccer matches?  The same goes for Iran's national soccer team.  What are your thoughts on their failure to act?  What does that say about their character (or the lack thereof)?  

I'm not a monarchist.  I was born at the tail end of the monarchy in Iran, and thus, I never experienced it. I'm for a republic in Iran.  But unlike you, I don't have a blind hatred of the Pahlavi dynasty.  The father and the son did many great things for Iran, but they had their shortcomings as well.

Thanks for the Nirvana song (despite the subliminal message).  Nirvana is one of my all time favorite bands.  I really think that Kurt Cobain will go down in music history as a pioneer of a new style of music, alternative rock (which is what I mostly listen to).  The man was a great artist.  His death was such a loss to the world of music.  But hey, who wouldn't commit suicide after being maried to Courtney Love?  Anyway, here's another piece of great music for you by Yann Tiersen.  Went to his concert last April in the City (NYC).  He's another musical great:

interesting article.  It's not just Lincoln.  Think about the Boston Tea Party.  The british lost the United States oevr raising taxes on tea.  Americans just didn't put up with it.  In fact, very few nations on this planet have put up with the type of humiliation---on all fronts---that the IR has subjected the Iranians to for the past 34 years.  That's why I say it's not just fear of the government that has kept the IR in power.  It's rather national acquiescence.

Look, if Iranians has any

by firstdayofmylife on

Look, if Iranians has any balls, self respect or a minimal sense of decency, they would stop attending soccer matches in protest of their mothers, sisters, daughters, wives or girlfreinds being banned from the stadium. That would be a strong, yet completely "safe" shwoing of reistance ("safe" in the sense that they won't be arrested for not going to a game) against IR's medieval gender segregation

Excellent point. Sad to say, that will never happen in our life time. I saw the movie, Lincoln, last night and it reminded me once again how backward Iran continues to be. In 1865, Lincoln fought tooth and nail with the most rabid and influential racists of his time to not only stop slavery but change the fate of human history. In 2012, Khamenie and his zobshodeha (10% of the population) are trying to enslave free people. I highly recommend the movie to all Iranians. It is not story about Lincoln; it is story of democratic process and the will of handful of enlightened (political geniuses) people to overcome their pride, and political and economic interest for the collective good of humanity.

FDML & APSM

by Anonymous Observer on

FDML: I have had a similar experience.  I was talking to a U.S. residing male relative, who is seemingly secular, during the 2009 Iran elections.  he asked me who I liked between Mousavi and AN.  I told him neither, but that if I had to choose, I would say Mousavi because that's who the new generation wanted to win.  His response (which shocked me quite frankly): "do you really want him to win so that young boys and girls can walk in the streets holding hands and do all kinds of 'other'thing'?"  And this guy lives in the West!

APSM: we really need some straight talk and common sense to cut through the fog of pseudo-intellectualism that has taken over the political discourse in Iran for the past three decades.

Armed rebellion by small groups doesn't mean popular

resistance.  That's what has happened in Kurdestan, Baluchestan, etc.  Still does not meet the 1% of the population test.  The day that I see 7 million people (10% of the population) in the streets of Iran demonstrating against the IR, I'll say there's a popular resistance against the IR.  

Look, if Iranians had any balls, self respect or a minimal sense of decency, they would stop attending soccer matches in protest of their mothers, sisters, daughters, wives or girlfriends being banned from the stadium.  That would be a strong, yet completely "safe" showing of resistance ("safe" in the sense that they won't be arrested for not going to a game) against IR's medieval gender segregation.  But they don't.  Every match between Persepolis and Esteghlal is sold out.  And what about the players?  Why don't they refuse to go on the field at an international match in protest of women being banned from the stadium?  It will be a huge embarrassment for the IR.  What is the IR going to do to them, kill them all and face and international outrage?  But they won't either.  Because Iranians, deep down inside, submit to the IR and want it to remain in power.  Trust me my friend, the IR is here to stay.  

I didn't take any "ethics" classes.  I don't think it was required in my field.  Lots of ecology related stuff though.  I can calculate an environemnt's carrying capacity in my sleep. 

I really never got into STP, even when they were popular back when I was in high school.  But thanks.  In return, here, enjoy this wonderful piece of relaxing music by the great young German-Iranian composer, Ramin Djawadi.  I love his use of Eastern melodies in the piece.  Just magnificent:

AO jan not to rain on your parade but not only you're a lousy students of history, you were probably taking a snooz in your ethics class, I don't blame you, its very boring.

The extent and depth of Iranian people's struggles against IR is considerably larger than you might imagine, only Kurdestan by itself counts for about five to seven percent of the national population, depending on your methodology. Of course we could we could also cite; Baluchestan, Khuzestan, Torkman Sahra, and all other National and Religious minorities that have had violent encounters and expereinces with IR, all and all a lot more than 1% of IRan has engaed in IR is struggles for freedom in the past 34 years.

Mister Common Sense needs to meet Mister History and stop making up baseless numbers!

What you fail to appreciate about the Workers Movement is the fact that, it is all about improving living standards, rising wage levels and living conditions,  providing for a better future: up ward social mobility, on a macro level, if you will. Driving the safest car is a positive contribution to human civilization. GM and Volvo might have been involved in an alliance a while back. It used to be owned by Sweden, now it's  owned by China. Volvo also had some alternative exprimentations with Workers' Managments, it was so good they had to stop the program! They discovered that the workers could produce  cars without any input from the Managment. Imagine that.

The way I see it, Iranians,

by firstdayofmylife on

The way I see it, Iranians, who are overwhelmningly religious, may not really "like" the IR, but they are afraid that if it goes, the entity that will replace it will be too secular....there will be debauchery on the streets, etc. Plus, the IR gives them an outlet to vent out their supressed imperialist feelings, their anti-Semitism, etc. That's why the IR is in power, and that's why it will remain in power for decades to come.

Ouch! That hurt because it's so callously true.  I have certainly seen this phenomenon in many older Iranian relatives of mine who hate the regime but are afraid of emancipation of girls and women. I think its a combination of religiousity and misogyny that are deeply rooted in the culture that impedes any progress toward enlightnment and civility.

Common sense has spoken

by Anonymous Observer on

If you look at the history of the "struggle" against the IR for the past 34 years, what you will see could only be statistically classified as exceptions to the rule.  Out of the 70 million (or is it 75 million?) population of Iran, only a very small fraction--less than 1%-- have actually "done" something.  The general population has been going along with the regime since its inception.

I like Volvos.  But I don't think that good socialists should drive it, because it will benefit the Western military industrial, capitalist society.  Isn't  Volvo a part of GM (or was?)?

Historian has spoken, or Thus Spoke Historian!

by Zendanian on

THUS SPOKE AO!

AO jan thanks for the historical insights and advises.

Based on your advise I'll just take away the entire Iranian Women's Movement out of Iranian recent history, becuase as you so masterly put : "there were few who may have fought it a bit--after all, there's always
an exception to every rule-- the overwhelming majority just submitted to
the forced hejab."

We'll also obtusly overlook Kurdestan and its 34 years of history in Mass Armed Struggle against IR. It never happened.It was all a big misunderstaning, that's all. A simple faliure to communicate.

And no unemployed workers were slain either because of their protest against IR.

When your comments are seen as monarchist, it's exactly becuase of using their narrative of dismissing all struggles against IR, and a general despise and distrust towards Iranian people.

What's happening in Egypt right now, is exactly what happened in Iran  in 1979. In Iran of course it all went so much faster.

In Egypt, today they have a historical hindsight of what happened to us 34 years ago.

In you world there's basically no social movements, no free people trying to be liberated. The entire country is populated by a bunch of order takers, and nothing would solve the issue but a little sanction and what comes after sanctions.

P.S. How do you feel about Volvo S-80?

Saying to Zendanian with a straight face the plain truth, is making me laugh so hard, I'm falling over here.  "Shah was by no means perfect, but compared to the IR Neanderthals, he
was a saint.  That makes people who overthrew him and brought the IR to
power TOTAL idiots."  Its like saying to dracula, lets have lots of garlic must o khiar together out of a silver bowl, hahauauauuuauuau god am I lucky I am not drinking chai or it would be all over the screen.

The bottom line is

by Anonymous Observer on

that Iranians had been waiting for Emam-e-Zaman since Allameh Majlesi told them he was coming  four cenuries earlier.  And they found their saviour in the person of Ruhollah Khomeini.  It was their backwardness, close mindedness and intolerance that bestowed the gift of the Islamic Republic upon them.

Shah was by no means perfect, but compared to the IR Neanderthals, he was a saint.  That makes people who overthrew him and brought the IR to power TOTAL idiots.

PS- in terms of the women's "opposition" to hejab, while I'm sure there were few who may have fought it a bit--after all, there's always an exception to every rule-- the overwhelming majority just submitted to the forced hejab.  An uncle of mine puts is quite properly like this: he says "poor Shah and his father tried for fifty years to get rid of the chador, but they couldn't do it.  Then came Khomeini and put everyone, young and old, in hejab in a month."  There's a lot to learn from that statement.  None of this would have been possible without the people's sheepish submission to the holy man in the black "seyyed" turban.

Problem with a monarchist history of Iranian Revolution

by Zendanian on

There is no struggle against IR in a monarchist narrative of 1979.

Whereas in reality even before there was an Islamic Republic of Hell proper, women were protesting against forced coverings in front of Bazargan's office and having acid thrown in their protesting faces and bodies.

And it wasn't just women protesting against forced covering. We also had the entire Kurdish region up in a mass people's armed struggle against the central government. To the list of Women and Kurds, we could also include Unemployed Workers (many of whome were killled by IR thugs) and Students, and ...

IR, even before its inception, has had to utilize lethal force to keep these contending forces at bay. Although at the moment many  of social movements activists are in jail, but movements of women, workers, students, national minoroties,... remain definat and ready to strike.

The weakness of Iroonis is crystal-clear for the next generation

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

Ignorance and Being Anti-Intellectual. Using a dictionary and being able to understand what it means.  These are not genetic impossibilities for Iranians, though we can see the lazyness that makes no use of a dictionary or its understanding.

For example when the West is at War with Irans Shah-han-shahi Covertly, and the Shah has already been poisoned as has his personal doctor and prime minister in early 1974 and then the CIA and other sources start with the Hit pieces in the media as is done in Wars, and the so-called Free Media become a propaganda source like Time, Cnn, Bbc or others keep constantly referring to the king as an autocrat, sadly this works even in developed societies, but in a backwards society there really isn't anyone who knows the difference between authoritarian or autocrat, there really isn't anyone to question the deadly deception of peoples views.  The authoritarian being created out of years of expertise, holding views based on an international team of experts and with the ability to act limited by law and the autocrat being a person with absolute power and using it against the law. As if by accident all of the enemies of the people of Iran, are also the enemies of the Shah-shan-shahi, they are all backing the extremist mullahs are calling the late shah an autocrat, a despot, a tyrant and a dictator, which was and is a deadly deceit, on cue from the west.

Yet Iran had laws, the late shah and his team never broke them and never exercised absolute power despite all the shahs foot in mouth words his actions and those of his team never came close to using absolute power or abusing power.  The downfall of the government and country with out the military exercising power further proved this.

Not only they were "marginalized," they also collaborated fully with Khomeini and kissed his rear end, in the hopes of him (Khomeini) giving them a piece of the [power] pie.  People like Sanjabi, Bazargaan, etc.  And of course, Khomeini proved to be smarter than all of those traitors.  As you pointed out, in Egypt, we actually have people with principles, like El-Baradei, who have denounced Mursi and have promised to fight him over these power grabs.

The Difference between Egypt and IR Regime

by Faramarz on

 


Here is the difference between the Egypt today and the IR Regime then.

When Morsi did a power grab the other day, the secular forces came out in thousands to Tahrir Square and protested. They set Islamic Brotherhood offices on fire and the international community supported them and delivered a strong message to him. Morsi backed down and said that what he meant was a temporary measure to deal with the corruption of Mubarak’s officials. So all should be well!

In contrast, when Khomeini did the power grab through his constitution and the Velayat Faghih stuff, the secular and nationalistic forces were all pushed out and marginalized,  and the Commie collaborators lay like lambs and in most part went along. Their fight was against the Imperialist and the Zionists and all the garbage that they had read in their books and Jozveh and as long as Khomeini kept that rhetoric up, they were ok with him!

AO, come on yourself. What's happening in Egypt right now, is

by Zendanian on

Exactly what happened in Iran of 1979, (in Persian, and other languages of Iran of course).

 

In Egypt you have a coalition of secular and religious forces that brought down Mobarak's monarchy, now the religious forces wants to monoploize the power and the real struggle for democracy and peole's rule has begun.

Lets see what happening in Eygpt; what's happening there is   a revolution against a despot. The opposition has been a mix of secular and religious forces.

Religious forces due to state's repression of secular, Left and Nationalist forces had the upper hand.

Whereas in Iran we didn't know what hit us, until it was too late. In Egypt they have a fighting chance.

--------------------------------------------

Did you even bother to take a look at Ghaed's website? Or you're just such a Historian and know so much about Iranian history, that you don't need any second opinions?

As previoulsy mentioned the problem with monarchists is that, they despise and  hate Iranian people.

Iranian people have the exact same feelings for them.Cheers

Zendanian is a good socialist.  I'm sure he doesn't drive anything that is made by the corrupt Western capitalist system.  That's a great accomplishment on his part because I have heard of really devout socialists who--by virtue of having been forced to reside in the West as opposed to the socialist utopia of North Korea or Cuba for example--have also been forced to drive BMW's.  Very, very bad.
