| Down with Iran! |
In light of recent events in Iran, specifically the "youth" rioting in the streets, I think I need to add a few thoughts which you won't hear from the mass media. I am a fan of non-interventionism. I recognize that despite inner turmoil over the last several decades, Iran has never aggressed on anyone except for those who aggressed on her first. Our government and Britain engineered the removal of a democratically elected leader, Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953. He was a reformist who nationalized Iran's oil (which seems to always happen shortly before western invasions and coups). The west then implanted this buffoon called "the Shah." As the Iranian people went hungry, he was living lavishly. His attitude was similar to Marie Antoinette during the hunger before the French revolution. But, he was "pro-western." It didn't matter that he was a tyrant and that he treated his opponents similar to the way Sadaam Hussein treated his disloyal subjects. He was so far out there with his decadence that he was removed by force. In this case, the coup to implant the Shah payed off for a while and Britain had almost total control of Iran's oil for decades, until the revolution which overthrew the puppet leader. Enter--the unintended consequences. We wanted a strongman who strongarmed opponents of western control of their oil, not strongmen who would stand up to the west and end its domination over their lives.
56 years later, our selfish actions still affect the lives of those people, yet we whine about their leader talking smack and elevate every anthill into a mountain of lies and exaggerations to justify more meddling. Even after they took our embassy staff hostage, they still didn't kill anyone. They have done virtually nothing to us, while we have played them like a chess game. Ahmadinejad does not control Iran. He is a figurehead, hence this election does not remove the power from behind the mosque. The Ayatolla and the mullahs rule Iran, and they must be removed--by the Iranian people, and not with any help from the enemies of Iran. That would be the United States and Britain. We the American people have no desire to hurt iranians. We want what is best for them. Our governmnent brainwashes us into thinking their actions are for the cause of "freedom." They are not. They are designed to encircle Russia and control waterways use to float oil tankers.
To the issue at hand.
The media is showing you Iranian police trying to put down a revolution, essentially, and we in the west are supposed to act like cheerleaders. They are not showing you the groups of thugs with nose rings and tattoos burning cars and so forth. The pre-revolution is coming from young adults, an age group I don't trust in any country to make any important decisions because they haven't lived long enough to obtain any wisdom about the world or politics. They don't think with their heads. If past history is any indicator, the CIA is right in the middle of this and it is not the "will of the people" at large. They would probably prefer a coup to be lead by a competent and organized reformer, not another Shah type selling his nation down the river for fame and money.
The allegations of voter fraud may or may not be true (as in FLORIDA too), though no one can provide any tangible evidence this is the case. These street punks want to install a man into power who clearly is not anti-establishment, according to his Wikipedia entry. What is he then? Another western puppet is my answer.
I am not stating any favorable opinion toward the current leadership, but remember that western powers, in accordance with financial interests and payoffs for short-term gains, allowed Joseph Stalin to take over Eastern Europe (and then murder tens of millions of people in the gulags), helped the Taliban win the war against Russia and entrench itself and "buddied up" with Saddam Hussein and many others. We always seem to be in the formative stages of every tyrant's bid for power. And we still lick the Saudi King's boots despite his horrendous treatment of the people. Ahmadinejad has not demonstrated he is a tyrant to me through ACTIONS. he talks big, but no action. Decades ago, we made a contract with Iran to produce nuclear power, ENERGY. Now they aren't allowed to do it because we assume, with no evidence at all or even past history of an intention to perpetrate mass murder, that they are plotting to weaponize plutonium and nuke us? As I look around, it is my country who has used the atom bomb on civilians, NO ONE ELSE. It is my country that has military bases all over the world, NO ONE ELSE. It is my country who invades others with alarming regularity. And it aint because of our "morals." All wars are economic and that is a fact. Follow the money trail.
When will the new world order just let PEOPLE decide their own fate, direction and type of government? Our nations are the homes of our people, not economic zones or "staging areas."
We are the global mother-in-law, and she's a bitch!
