Mossadegh was going to be overhtrown because of MI6 and CIA , but the supporters of the Shah installed the Shah before their plan was able to go through.
The Shah notified the world that until 1979, we will honour the price of oil after then it will be real value, just like in the price of your wheat, and arms, spare parts which doubled , tripled.
And that is the reason the patriotic Iran loving Shah was disposed of in 1979.
We don't fucking need the CIA, DEA, IRS, HUD, department of energy, department of education, Department of attack other foreign nations unconstitutionally, and most importantly the FEDERAL RESERVE.
if mossadegh was not overthrow by the CIA, there would be no mohammad reza pahlavi and ayatollah ruhollah khomenei. it was supposedly the best government for iran under mossadegh.
People like to rag on the president whether dem or repub, but they have very little sway within the already well established groups within the government. We cry about government expansion, but the government WANTS to expand. They already control ALL of us monetarily, you owe debt to a bank, that the government owes money to, you work to make someone else rich. The president has little sway, and none of us have a voice, look at the electoral college, its been elitist from the start.
every time the USA dabbles in the governments of other countries it comes back to bite us in the ass. Iran, afghanistan, cuba, El salvador, Korea, vietnam, and Israel. It is time we stop forcing our will on the rest of the world (mostly for oil). The world used to look to the US as a guiding light of freedom and prosperity, now they all wonder what's behind our backs.
This is still so topical! Had me thinking about how US executive branch takes over more control even quite openly now. The Congress needs to make a stink & take control back on declaring "war" vs allow the President to decide or because the UN or NATO decides such matters. The American people need to toss most of these jokers out next election! We need some decent candidates! Let the US use the light side of the 'force' as default, make friends & not more enemies.
its a politics and money sequences, "humane" does not mean profitable. all countries have blood on their hands....its not about east or west. its about nighas and bitches, riders and punks....
There are starving people here in the U.S. but you don't hear a huge public outcry for them, you just turn your head and keep walking, if you ignore the home grown problems they will disappear, right? But then again these homeless and starving in America aren't sitting atop massive oil reserves, theres no money to be made in helping them therefor we ignore it. It is time for the citizens to wake up and understand all war is about, power and greed, thats why we send the expendable middle class
Americans are always mocking and "criticizing" the North Korean government for "starving" their people. If you care so much about other human beings, why are you invading and killing millions of inncoent people, destroying their economies (taking over their economy with western companies and financial institions)? Why did you destroy Iraq's cultural heritage and libraries as soon as you invaded the country? I have a million other questions that hypocrites can never account for.
Western civilization is all about genocides, exploitation, materialism and hedonism. There is no compassion and mercy to humans, you view humans as objects to exploit and have no problems killing millions to achieve your Satanic goals. Your media and all government institutions and education systems are in this game. Almost everybody in your country is a mouthpiece of those terrorists ruling the world with terrorism and exploitation.
@Metsada007: Why do you chose to live in the West then? Why are you not living in some of the shit holes that you're defending? Why not go back to the land of your ancestry? I'll tell you why. Because you can't shoot off your mouth there like you can in the Netherlands without fear of getting your balls cut off.
ehmpf :D what i wanted to say was... its a fact that NO ONE can change! so why should we go? of course many pl dont know BUT some know and still acting arrogant! why is that? and if your not feeling any responsibility for your goverment, than what u care who lives in that county?
Feel responsibility for my government? How? I can't even democratically elect someone to represent my views! I can choose from 7 parties, I agree with none of them on more than half of their agenda and they all want to screw me over backwards still. Even if I elect the most radical party from those 7, it will still be same ol' same ol'. I have 7 parties to chose from and the system is rigged to prevent change, what do you expect from Americans, who can choose from 2 major parties?
Have you heard of Occupy WallStreet, Occupy Brussels, Occupy everything? That is what we can do and are trying to do. Elections don't work, this better does. Don't try to act as if we are responsible for the corporate overlords that run this place. They have guns, agencies, cops and armies. Be glad we take to the streets, because what we do here, affect people there.
at least trying!! but i think its a shame to tell me, beeing "glad" glad that you are doing this. it should be a matter of cause! you are only doing the right thing! and now, that you are trying to correct the damage your coverment has done- u want standing ovations... !?
like i would want ovations for only doing the right thing! than u can give me a bullet! only than;)!!! cause i must be a very arrogant person than!
@DigitalCortex cuz your countrys have done this to us. make it unhappen and we would loveee to go home!!!! and i bet u little... would love to come over too, cuz it woulb be to expensive living the "western"- livestyle then^^ u are really disgusting and very this is so sad!
@marymary331: First of all I posted this video which criticizes the involvement of the US in the 1053 coup against Mossadeq. I'm admitting the US was wrong but the CIA could not have done it without a portion of the Iranian people. The followers of Shaban ("the brainless") Jaffari, for example, who sold their country for a few dollars. This is also true about the 1979 revolution. Iranian need to stop blaming others and take some responsibility for themselves.
@DigitalCortex ... yes right,nothing! never exist! its all about the profit! since every the britisch-administrations (and the us-administrations) only thinking about money//richness...REGARDLESS what they need to do for it! for example: slavery, exploitation of africa, explotation of nativ-america, and along the way the colonization of soooo many other countrys(like india!)
they want to be responsible! but... they cant cuz of the contracts! only a some single (Antoine Kitabgi Khan,atabak,zahedi!) of betrayers had helped the britsh-agelos- and the usa/europa... takes advantage of it!!! so, what do u mean with responibility?? its not faire to take so much (money/ percent)!!! so whats about equitableness,a sense of honor, humaneness, christian-values??? and everytime we try, they infiltrate a nother dictator!
they want to be responsible! but... they cant cuz of the contracts! only some single betrayers (Antoine Kitabgi Khan,atabak,zahedi!) had helped bp and the usa/england... have taken advantage of it!!! so, what do u mean with responibility?? its not faire to take so much (money/ percent)!!! so whats about equitableness,a sense of honor, humaneness, christian-values??? and everytime we try, they infiltrate a nother dictator!
@DigitalCortex I think, & I am almost sure you would agree, it would be accurate to say all Iranians were victims of what the US did. That would be true also of the so called sell outs. The US had the power to deceive, coerce & manipulate these so called sell outs, thus they were victims whether or they were conscious of the fact that they were victims. The US didn't care about these so called sell outs, they were merely pawns in achieving US a agenda. The US is still to blame
@modogray: Unfortunately to deceive is the very essence of politics. When you leave your house you lock the door. If you don't and get robbed then you have to take some responsibility for what happened. If I didn't think the US was wrong in this case I would not have posted this video. But those sellouts knew they were selling their country out and did it anyway for money. It's naive to simply label them as victims. If anything they are more to blame since it was THEIR country that they sold out
@DigitalCortex The US & its allies are the most powerful States on the planet, they maintain this through creating great poverty, sickness, war, upheaval, & tyranny. These handful of 'sell outs' were politically out maneuvered by one of the most powerful, well funded & deceptive military agencies of the US. Its like a toddler going up against an adult, it isn't even a competition. It was literally like 'taking candy from a baby', & then thinking you have done something great.
@marymary331 bla bla, if youre such a proud persian bitch, go back home to persia. you can never take the brown yellow shit color of your skin off - the shit will stick with you forever
@OZDE32 :D aahahaha actually ahahaha.... X-D cant believe it. your only nuts... are you tending to nervous tensions? i would guess :D may god bless u with a real brain, staw-head :D ;)
@OZDE32 empf... what kind of an argument? what do you had said that was intelligent or have anything to do with a discussion, that i cant bring arguments up... you only saying... "eww go out of my county... with you yellow shity color" nothing more or less. so?!
if you learn to talk like an adult, than you are welcome to speak to me :D and best belive your gonne get your arguments ;) ^^ tzz
Satanic goals? Don't shit me mate. I live in the West, we aren't Satanic.
The West doesn't have a monopoly on genocides. Governments have. That's the core of the problem, that fact that some people think they have the right to govern others with no accountability. Of course, people don't realize this, as long as they get an election day every once in while and can pad themselves on the back for voting, thinking they changed anything.
'The West' is not the problem. if you say 'the West', you are not only generalizing all people, but also history. Secularism and the boom of science that led from horse-drawn-carriages to space shuttles in under 200 years were also inventions of 'the West'. The West has done great things, especially in science, from which hundreds of thousands have benefited. You want to fight? Pick a fight with the globalist, they are the problem.
Also, hedonism? Most people in the West are economic slaves, but don't realize it (well, the time is coming). They have food alright, unlike in other countries, but only work to keep food on their table. These aren't the 50's in which people in the West can basically light a cigarette with a burning money-bill. That time is long gone, look out your fucking window and inform yourself.
@Metsada007 What US and UK goverment did in iran was wrong. but dont demonise your enemy. that is the worst. They where corrupted elitistist nationalists who thouth that it was right to exploit others. like mafia bosses. inconsidaret bastards.
It's the other way around my friend; there is daily non-stop demonization of non-western countries and governments and peoples by western media. The entire world gets their daily "news" stories from Satanic western media terrorist scum.
Nobody in Iran chants "death to Brazil", "death to Venezuela", "death to Argentina".
Have you ever though why? Because those countries have never done anything to that country, that's why. You stupid brainless Americans. You are the most ignorant people on the planet, you are sheep following the official propaganda and lies of your terrorist governments and Zionist controlled Corporate media. You are slaves to the Rotschild and Bilderberg familes.
People, don't forget that the CIA makes most of its operating capital through illegal drug imports and sales. There is no limit to the resources used by the CIA to either strong arm a countries economy or simply use the jackels to assassinate the troublesome resistant leader. These are called Narcoprofits and it has allowed for operations that the bank owned media will never tell you about.
This is merely a conspiracy theory, with distortion of reality. The CIA engaged in anti-Mossadeq activities, but it was not them who overthrew the government. The USA are not so strong to do that, but rather it was also in the 1950s that there were masses who were unhappy with Mossadeq, among these the religious masses and leaders, also Khomeini.
People make it very easy by blaming the US for everything, but are unable to recognize how realities are made by masses.
@psaikoski Oh come on, split a few more hairs why don`t you? The CIA lit the spark that ignited the conflagration. If it makes you feel any better, the Brits were as responsible, if not more, since they hounded the US to do something about Mossedeq in the first place. As for US power -- Berlin Airlift? Marshall Plan? Spanish-American war? Monroe Doctrine?
Being critical isn`t bashing, it`s telling it like it is (& again!, if it makes you feel better!, every superpower sucks that way).
@psaikoski: Well this is more than a conspiracy theory since the US has admitted to being involved. However, as far the success of the CIA operation relying on the treachery of the people themselves who sold out their country for few bank notes, couldn't agree with you more.
I know that the US and the UK were INVOLVED and CONTRIBUTED in a coup, but the coup itself could only be successful, due to internal social forces. Superpowers can't change governments as they like, even if they attempt in assassinations etc., to permanently change a countries politics, one must rely on internal opposition.
@DigitalCortex Yes, the people sold themselves, but remember that the US and British had the economic means to buy off thousands of people all over the country, and they also had control over the Shah and his people. If the US and British had kept their noses out of Iran we would have a democracy now, those thugs that took to the streets would never have done that without the support of US and Britiain.
@DigitalCortex GOOD COMMENT! THE CRIMINAL INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION ALWAYS LOOKS FOR NATIONAL TRAITORS TO WORK FROM THE INSIDE OF THE ADMINISTRATION OR REGIME THEY WANT TO OVERTHROW. NOW IT IS NOT FOR A FEW DOLLARS IT IS USUALLY FOR BIG QUANTITIES OF MONEY OR CONCESSIONS IN CORPORATIONS THE USA EVIL GOVERNMENT WANT TO TAKE OVER; THAT SAME STORY HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE EAST, LANTINAMERICA, ASIA, AFRICA ETC. BUT ANYWAYS THERE IS NO WAY TO JUSTIFY THE CRIMINAL ACTS AND INTERVENTION OF THE CIA
This is similar to British Guiana (now Guyana). Instead of oil, it was sugar and bauxite. The CIA and Britain instigated a coup in Guyana in the early sixties, causing mass riots and racial violence to curb communism and to discredit the communist leader Jagan. All election results favoured Jagan and Britain did not want the first president of Guyana to be a communist. The Americans did not want another Cuba in their backyard. In 1953, Britain sent warships and 700 troops to stop Jagan.
Mossadeq wanted a bigger cut from the profits of British oil operations in his country. He wanted to build his people a better country, that was why he was popular. The Brits, who were are the end of their colonial power asked the Americans for help in overthrowing the Iranian government. They succeeded and installed the son of the Shah. People got beaten, imprisoned and murdered and then famously attacked the US embassy and hold prisoners for one year to ward of military intervention by the US.
The DULLES brothers were the most opportunistic and deadly traitors on US soil. A real travesty that an airport in Washington, D.C. is named after one of them. SHAME SHAME SHAME!
@EdwardRommel: What a sheltered life you must have lead to make such blanket statements. Anything can be purchased even the government let alone the masses.
@DigitalCortex You have no idea how politics, states and societies function. Governments can only so long be in power, as long they rely on some kind of popular support.
You can have so many dollars you want, if people have not the least benefit of your rule, you will be gone shortly.
@psaikoski: I think because of your poor English you're misreading my comments and not understanding them well. You also don't seem to be familiar with the concept of a Dictatorship. According to you the people of North Korea, for example, are living under the rule of Kim Jong Il, in near starvation, because they like it, right? Who's the clueless one?
@DigitalCortexCIA THE BIGGEST INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION. The deaths of the CIA COUNTS TO 3 BILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD DURING THE LAST 60 YEARS IN COVER-UP TERRORIST OPERATIONS. 99% OF THE ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE USA ARE HONEST AND HARDWORKING BUT THE PROBLEM IS THE USA GOVERNMENT RULED BY 20 DESPOTIC MULTI-BILLIONAIRE CORPORATIONS WHO DEPENDS ON CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE CIA, PENTAGON ETC. AND ITS GANGSTER PUPPET POLITICIANS TO IMPOSE THEIR EVIL AMBITIONS. GOD BLESS
It's none of your business what North Korea or North Koreans do within their own borders, or whether they are "starving". As if your government has ever cared about other human beings? Give me a break. Just stay out, don't meddle, mind your own business and go home. Nobody in North Korea, Iran or any other country is meddling in US internal affairs. Show the same respect.
@Metsada007: The reason North Korea and Iran don't meddle in the internal affairs of the US is because we don't let them. Iran has certainly meddled in the internal affairs of Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Gaza Strip. Also, I'm allowed to hold opinions about any country I want. I know that's a concept that bothers most Islamofacists.
@EdwardRommel I don't think the American CIA have enough money to overthrow a democratic election? They tried to do it again last year! There is proof that Mousavi is an American CIA agent! There is proof the Americans got Saddam to wage that war! There is NO PROOF Iran has Nuclear weapons! They have signed the NPT! Twice! This is what your country feels about democratic elections! They overthrow them! America is the richest country in the world, Ofcourse the CIA have money.
I had a co-worker from Iran...and she told me the Iranian Govt. pays poor people to march in the streets and shout "Death to America"..."Death to the Great Satan"
You have people getting shot in the streets of Tehran because they protest the unfair elections in your beloved Islamic Republic...everyone knows Iran is a very corrupt Govt. per Transparency International it is near Somalia, Iraq, and Afganistan..all Muslim countries..and all very corrupt Govts
@EdwardRommel You had people being shot by the Shahs Savak Rommel. I know people who work for the American goverment, I know a gentleman who's a Sayed direct descendant of Mohammed. Care to tell him Mohammed was a paedophile? That the American way is the right way? This video proves your co-worker wrong, this video proves you wrong. Muslims are not Anti the American or British people, they are against Imperialism. You put a comment saying '' Iran has gone downhill since the Shah'' Why?
Did the shah allow women or men to be stoned to death for adultery?
They bury them in the sand up to their waste for me...or up to their chest for women...and the people have to throw a large rock at them...but not too large or they would die too quickly but not too small or it won't hurt them enough
Wow..you Iranians are really living in the 7th century..you are truly barbarians in the desert...congratulations!
don't forget that Sadam Hussein let his troops rape Kuwaiti women...
The muslim world is very cruel to people...because they live in the 7th century when it was ok to be cruel...that's just your nature...you can't control yourselves.
You also cut off the hands of thieves and the feet of thieves
You also have those honor killings .you muslims are barbarians...you're out of control...women only get half the inheritance
@EdwardRommel No matter what kind of excuses you will make , you will never be right. You cannot handle the truth in how your country handles democracy
@EdwardRommel Yes, he did worse than that he tortured them, cut their flesh with broken glass gave permission for the Savak soldiers to rape women, they also used to tie weights to the mens genitals and then poured boiling hot water into their rectoms. They did all that to people that were protesting against a guy who was put in their goverment by the American CIA. Again, look at the tortour tactics that the Savak used. Their ( Savak soldiers) used to train in Israel i've got proof of that,too
@EdwardRommel They don't stone them. They stone them in Saudi Arabia. What I told you was just as bad. America is friends with Muslim countries that have worse human rights than Iran. You would never comment on Saudi Arabia or Quatar
In my business, the most dishonest people are Iranians...when I see a name that looks Iranian...I think "oh god, here we go"...your people like to steal and cheat...I have heard that the Koran tells muslims it's ok to steal from "infidels".
Iranians are dishonest people and many are heroin addicts!
@EdwardRommel You only care about Irans freedom ( if there is such a thing, lol ) when America has something to gain. This coup was real, like many other coups the CIA have staged, operation Ajax it's called. Read about it!
Yeah, bay of pigs invasion, Contras, overthrow of Mossadeq, they're all elaborate lies by Natzees. He was not overthrown in a CIA supported coup, he actually stepped on a banana peel and fell from office.
@EdwardRommel : Mr Rommel, I would kindly request for you to prove any of the statements you just made and presented as fact. Ifter reviewing your profile I believe that, while none of the facts you believe are false, the opinions you have generated for yourself and once again presented as fact are at best misguided or misled and at worst, false. I have concluded that you have a remarkable propensity for ignoring facts uncomfortable for you and, tragically, the world has lost another bright mind
@EdwardRommel The CIA has declassified the documents to operation AJAX and admitted to what they did in Iran in 1953. So you are gonna deny that? I dont know what more proof you want.
@EdwardRommel: You don't buy it? You don't have enough money. CIA does.
I have seen this by my owne eye. This is how coups happen, if you don't know. You need to study the CIA's own documents on operation Ajax. This kind of supports to overthrow popular governments did not only happen in Iran, it has happened in many other countries. Look at South American countries for one.
yes...look at South America...what about Venezuela attacking Nixon's car...where was the CIA?
What about Castro overthrowing Bautista...where was the CIA?
The CIA can not manipulate public opinion...it can only help the opposition...like in the Bay of Pigs...but if the oppositition lacks enough popular support the CIA's help will not be enough.
So ultimately it is the people who decide these matters...not the CIA.
Bay of Pigs attempt to overthrow Castro is a very good example because the CIA supported an invasion by Cuban exiles but the Cuban exiles lacked enough support of the Cuban people to succeed. The CIA is only successful when they have the support of the general population or when the population is apathetic.
Mossadegh was not popular or the Iranian people would have supported him like the Cuban people supported Castro.
Thanks to the US , Chile did not end up like Cuba...today Chile is democratic and very prosperous...Cuba is a poor hellhole like Haiti.
The CIA supported Afganistan's freedom from Soviet invasion to force a Marxist Govt. on the them. The US has given free and open elections, a Parliament, A Constitution, free speech, press and assembly to Afganistan.
The Soviets did not give any of those freedoms to Afganistan...that's the difference. That's why the USSR lost te cold war.
No, thanks to the PEOPLE of Chile they have a democracy, the US installed August Pinochet as a military dictator after overthrowing and killing Allende, who by the way won in a DEMOCRATIC election.
The CIA did no such thing, they have given them elections, but they're hardly free. Afghanistan has a puppet government and Karzai was a warlord during the civil war in the country. The US are stuck in a colonial mindset. They say "He's a dictator, but atleast he's our dictator."
Iraq and Afganistan have had free and open elections with hundreds of candidates for the first time in 40 years.
Unfortunately the muslim world is rife with corruption per Transparency International....which ranks the 5 most corrupt govts in the world to be Somalia, Afganistan, Sudan, Iraq and Iran....all muslim countries.
So if there is corruption in the Afgani elections it is not surprising but they are like an infant taking baby steps towards democracy.
As soon as America leaves the countries will collapse, the "aid" they send to them is useless when it goes into Karzai's pocket instead of the pockets of the people.
Iran had democracy aswell, but the CIA overthrew the leader because he wanted to nationalize Iran's oil. How do you justify that?
You're so fucking blind and stupid it's amazing, you suck at discussing but you're good at pissing people off, why don't you go run for President in America, Bush did it.
@EdwardRommel Take a look at all of the various government documents that have been released. You cannot argue against CIA referendums that blatantly state the immense amounts of money that were being funneled into the operation. Additionally, the CIA has an immense budget, and this was the first of many attempts to subvert democracy through the means of CIA covert operations. I suggest that you look into the CIA's history if you want to understand their legacy of abuse and terror..
@EdwardRommel The events that you cite explain the complexities, if you bother to look deeper into the matter. Iran's National Front was a democratic movement, that operated through Iran's legal system. the movements in Cuba and Nicaragua were Franz Fanton-inspired militant movments that attempted to obtain their goals through force. Take a look at the CIA's psychological and propaganda tactics in Guatemala(1954) that manipulated the population out of fear.
@EdwardRommel You make the mistake of generalizing about all of the coups you cite, ll they all had different different components and variables that made U.S. reaction so difficult. Che Guevara and Castro learned from the CIA's tactics in Iran and Guatemala and created a strong militant uprising. Additionally, Guevara was in Guatemala during the coup of '54. In his memoirs he states that the Cuban revolution was successful because Castro understood CIA tactics.
@BestDrummerInWor1d In regards to The later Iranian Revolution, which occured mainly in '79, not '78, it is important to under stand Carter's ambiguous and uncertain policy towards the Islamic movement. The CIA did little to thwart the revolution because the State Department did not give them any course of action. The Camp David peace talks at the time were the primary focus. The Shah's brutal rein created extreme discontent that could not be countered by insufficient CIA reaction.
@EdwardRommel The CIA has poured mountains of cash into subverting democracy. They overthrew popular, democratically elected presidents In Syria ('49), Greece ('49), Cuba ('52), Guatemala('54), Iran (in '53), Bolivia ('64), Indonesia ('65), Chile ('73), Argentina ('76), and Honduras ('09). In 1979, the CiA did not have a strong program against the Iranian revolution, neither was if properly funded like the cited coups.
most of Latin America has always been anti-American as in "yankee go home". They don't appreciate that it was the Monroe Doctrine that prevented Europeans such as the Germans from establishing colonies in Argentina, brazil and Venezuela. In 1902 Britain and Germany sent gunboats to Venezuela to collect unpaid debts...but the US accepted liability for the debts and got the Germans and Brits to withdraw their gunboats.
If not for the Monroe Doctrine South America would have looked like Africa...full of European colonies. The US also protected China from the Japanese colonists...and the US prevented the Germans from seizing the Phillipines.
An examination of the German colonies in Africa would reveal cruelty and bad administation whereas the US administration of the Phillipines was benevolent.
Without the US ..Chile would have became communist.
@EdwardRommel The reality, is that South America basically did greatly resemble Africa. Corporations kept the locals in a state of backwardness while ruthlessly exploiting their labor and resources. You seem to neglect that an estimated 34,000 to 1,000,000 natives died fighting for their independence against the United States. You seem to misunderstand that U.S. colonialism in South America functioned much like European colonialism.
Today Brazil , Argentina, Venezuela, Ecuador, Chile, Mexico, Nicaragua , Panama are all democratic countries that are very prosperous.
Compare them to what happened to eastern Europe...or just compare West Germany with East Germany. The CIA helped to prevent South America ending up like eastern Europe or Cuba.
Africa has always been an economic basket case and most of the European colonies in Africa were money losers subsidized by their Governments.
Africa has had complete freedom since about 1960-65. The Europeans are gone and unfortunately so are the subsidies by the European Govts. to improve the infrastructure, build schools, eradicate diseases.
Similar to how the US was able to build the Panama Canal only when the Yellow Feaver and Malaria were brought under control.
Africa has bad govt in most of those countries because there is so much corruption there. They have to want to change before they can change.
@EdwardRommel Additionally, you ignore the fact that the U.S. backed coup in Chile of '73 lead to one of the most repressive regimes of South America. This right wing anti communist regime killed at least 3,000 Chileans and tortured 29,000. A communist take over of Chile would have lead to crucial social reforms such as land redistribution. The U.S. is not as "benevolent" as you may recall. Installing murderous dictators to prevent communism is unjust.
Today Chile is a very prosperous democratic country. Who knows what Allende would have done. Initially Castro denied that he was a communist and he suggested he believed in free and open elections, freedom of speech, assembly and press. Today Cuba has no freedoms and is an economic basket case.
In 1959 Cuba actually had a higher per capita GDP than Mexico. Today Cuba's per capita GDP is down there with Haiti and is one of the poorest nations in the western hemisphere.
If the US was opposed to democracy...then why set up a democracy in Panama, Iraq, and Afganistan.
The CIA was not opposed to democracy or to unfriendly democracies. It was opposed to the establishment of communist regimes because the communists never supported free and open elections, freedom of speech, assembly or press.
That leads to corruption and unhappiness...as was the case with Iraq under Sadaam.
@EdwardRommel The masses adored him. US & UK boycotts were eroding his popularity among the middle class, that`s true, but their hardships wouldn`t have been enough to trigger an uprising (at least, not at that point). The military hated him, the mullahs almost. Hiring *just* enough bodies to cause pandemonium is EZPZ -- think of black bloc`s tactics (or agent provocateurs pretending to be black bloc). This isn`t a conspiracy theory: the operation was one of Kermit Roosevelt`s babies
Even if that were true, it's an undeniable fact the US always exploits the difficult situations in other countries to the detriment of the citizens of other countries. The US is guilty whether you accept or not. Read William Blum's "killing Hope". The US just can't stop meddling in other countries' internal affairs and has no problem attacking and plundering those nations, if they can. Other countries should form their own NATO and UN, which are only serving the West.
If we had minded our own business Iran would very likely be a modern secular democracy. The "threat" posed by Iran is one created by the idiots at the CIA. Also note that the CIA acted in the interests of oil companies, but did so using taxpayer's money.
Mossadegh was very Pro-American and very secular, so in ousting him the CIA acted AGAINST the interests of the American people. That's called treason.
@AKTSFORLIFE: While you're entitled to your opinion you're not entitled to historic facts. I suggest you read the book All the Shah's Men by Stephen Kinzer. I met Reza Pahlavi in Potomac Maryland once at the Vie de France on the corner of Falls Rd and River Rd. I got to talk to him for about 5 minutes. I must say he's an extremely nice and personable man. And it was refreshing to learn that even he finds over zealous moarchists who are blind to the truth ovebearing and ridiculous.
@ai6276 I don't understand how Bill Moyers (it is spelled Moyers) is a Nazi when he is exposing our governments Nazi behavior. The Constitution clearly states this is illegal. We are no better than Russia or China or any dictatorship. Tell me who is the Nazi and who is the truth teller. How about you read Orwells 1984 and read his other book Animal Farm. As Orwell said some people are more equal than others.
The whole system is afraid of one thought. This thought is that the meek will prevail.
There is a story in Koran about angels saying to God what you created (man) will only shed blood on earth. He tells them that I know something you don't. At the end, the angles will bow to who we are, except Satan who is our enemy.
This story is a metaphor for a much greater meaning: There is something in us all that is not satisfied with anything they give us in exchange for our liberation. Look at history.
What facts? Who published them? You see pops, you're old enough to know better. If the government of the Mullahs were legitimate and democratic they wouldn't have to have Basiji thugs attack the people with axes and clubs. If they break the law you arrest them and prosecute them under the law not murder them in cold blood. So as you sit it the US (according to your profile) you're either extremely obtuse or a traitor. Either way at 61 you've wasted a lifetime.
I am over 60 years old. I have lived through both regiemds. And I know more about the noble Iranian people and true religion of the great Persian Prophet Zarathustra, and The Final Prophet to The Planet Muhammad, and The Masoomeen Household that is the repository of his legacy than can imagine, young man. You assume much, and are wrong on almost all accounts. And it is not Ironic. Think. It was those CIA whistle blowers that brought all this to light.
The whole world was against The Islamic Revolution in Iran. If these facts were not so glaring, the enemies of The IRI would have never let them come to light. The horrible villainy that this monarch inflicted on a people clamoring for an entire decade for a voice in their government is a matter of record.

Democracy. Mossadeq achieved it. Kermit Roosevelts CIA brought that villain to power. But nothing... no force on earth could thwart the will of The Noble Iranian People, who believe in AlMaliki YawmidDeyn. Do you understand young man?
Let's not forget, however, that our CIA advised President Carter to take the side of Ayatollah. He refused, and traveled to Iran to lavish praise on that Maniacal Butcher. Carter was a born again Christian. This is a variable, speaking of secret organizations, that never is explored.
The Islamic Republic is not worse than The King Of Kings (Shah in Shah's) dictatorial racist "White." First of all Iran is now ruled in a republican/democratic matrix. Secondly it is consistent with the homogeneous religious philosophy of it's people. Thirdly foreign influences has been kept to a minimum. And fourthly there is no where near the number of SAVAK Police actions any more. Of course, the "Westoxicated" elitist class thinks otherwise. Kind of like plantation owners post Civil War.
Republic/Democratic matrix?! Are you high? They just rigged an election and are mudering people who want their votes counted. The SAVAK, as bad as it was, were amateurs compared to the Islamic thugs. Have you ever heard of a government asking families to pay for the bullet that murdered their children? How big a soulless motherfucker do you have to be to even come up with that idea? Prismwriter is right. You see the world through your Islamo-Fascist prism and then write about it.
@prismwriter You like beer? Because my friend died two weeks ago running from Basijis who raided a party where he was drinking a beer. My other friend disappeared into thin air after advocating a democratic Iran on his twitter. Chances are he refused a false confession through torture and was murdered. His family wasn't even notified. I can never return to my country because of this government. I can't even show my hair or I'll get arrested and probably raped too. How dare you justify this?
The Shah left the country because the people revolted against his oppressions. Just because the the Islamic Regime is much much worse that the Shah ever was does not excuse the killings that took place during his reign. The number people who died vary depending on whom you ask but even if one person died simply because of his or her political beliefs, that's one person too many. I suggest you save your pity, read some history and not be so generous with other people's lives.
...and we wonder why the Middle East hates us...a pity that the majority of us are so misinformed, just like the fake Gulf of Tonkin Incident, this "Revolution" was just another CIA backed campaign to get a leader who didn't see eye to eye with the West out of power.
Well, I think he's talking about the fact that Bin Laden offered the Saudis to fight against Saddam and keep the Gulf Nations safe from any invasion, what the Saudi king refused.
Instead, they Saudis asked the USA for help. Osama, however, didn't accept any other non-islamic troops in arabian countries, declaring Jihad against his former alliesb(against the Soviets in Afghanistan).
this is correct, although many people don't know about this. And this is actually the real start of Bin Laden's "war" against the West. From that end it's less about "jihad" as much as it's about Bin Laden's own ego and personal desire for power, as well as that of his disciples (i.e. Zawahiri).
That explains the link between the invasion of Kuwait (Saddam's subsequent threat to Saudi Arabia) and Al Qaeda. I still don't see the link between the Iran-Iraq war and Al Qaeda. Surely Bin Laden didn't offer the Iranians to fight Saddam nor did he offer Saddam to fight Iran.
the fun thing is that, 1953 issues resulted in 1978 revolution, which resulted in Iran-Iraq War, which resulted in Al-Qaeda, which resulted in 9/11 and you know the rest ... How stupid all this sounds like
It isn't our freedom that is to blame for the resentment against us in the world, it is our policy. If we truly believed in freedom, we wouldn't blame it to excuse our policies. We'd get out of the way of freedom and let people have it.
its funny how w/ these people, Americans are accountable for everything and every wrongdoing in their past, even though we vote in new leaders and new ideologies, but if i mention a past Palestinian mufti of Jerusalem (Al-Husayni) the Palestinians are apolitical and are absolved of anything he may have done!! not just Palestinians the Arab world also seems to absolved of any atrocities theyre govt commits
if u chose new ideologies or voted for newer leaders...we wouldnt say death to america...after mossadeq USA planned three coups...and then provoked the IRAN-IRAQ war, then it supplied IRAQ with chemical weapons, tthere are still 30000 people in iran sick from chemical weapons, and then u sanction us for something that IAEA approves...and based on nothing you accuse of many things....if these policies stopped ever...trust me no one would say death to america.
i don't mean any anti-american thing, but simply believing and voting for a new ideology won't change or fix what happened. While Burning US flags and chanting "death to America" is obviously not the right thing to do, they cannot be blamed entirely for protesting like that
Its really hard to trust the government when looking at a situation like this. The underlying cause of the coup was that Mossedegh wanted to control the oil in his nation. The U.S. overthrows him and takes control of half the oil in the nation. Then 26 years down the road the people who still resented the CIA take 60 hostages, initiate an oil embargo, and U.S. embassy is nonexistent for over 30 without negotiation. Its hard to be trusting of the government's judgment in light of such a scene
Mossadegh was going to be overhtrown because of MI6 and CIA , but the supporters of the Shah installed the Shah before their plan was able to go through.
The Shah notified the world that until 1979, we will honour the price of oil after then it will be real value, just like in the price of your wheat, and arms, spare parts which doubled , tripled.
And that is the reason the patriotic Iran loving Shah was disposed of in 1979.

I'm admitting the US was wrong but the CIA could not have done it without a portion of the Iranian people. The followers of Shaban ("the brainless") Jaffari, for example, who sold their country for a few dollars. This is also true about the 1979 revolution. Iranian need to stop blaming others and take some responsibility for themselves.

@DigitalCortex I think, & I am almost sure you would agree, it would be accurate to say all Iranians were victims of what the US did. That would be true also of the so called sell outs. The US had the power to deceive, coerce & manipulate these so called sell outs, thus they were victims whether or they were conscious of the fact that they were victims. The US didn't care about these so called sell outs, they were merely pawns in achieving US a agenda. The US is still to blame

If you don't and get robbed then you have to take some responsibility for what happened. If I didn't think the US was wrong in this case I would not have posted this video. But those sellouts knew they were selling their country out and did it anyway for money. It's naive to simply label them as victims. If anything they are more to blame since it was THEIR country that they sold out

This is merely a conspiracy theory, with distortion of reality. The CIA engaged in anti-Mossadeq activities, but it was not them who overthrew the government. The USA are not so strong to do that, but rather it was also in the 1950s that there were masses who were unhappy with Mossadeq, among these the religious masses and leaders, also Khomeini.
People make it very easy by blaming the US for everything, but are unable to recognize how realities are made by masses.

This is similar to British Guiana (now Guyana). Instead of oil, it was sugar and bauxite. The CIA and Britain instigated a coup in Guyana in the early sixties, causing mass riots and racial violence to curb communism and to discredit the communist leader Jagan. All election results favoured Jagan and Britain did not want the first president of Guyana to be a communist. The Americans did not want another Cuba in their backyard. In 1953, Britain sent warships and 700 troops to stop Jagan.

Mossadeq wanted a bigger cut from the profits of British oil operations in his country. He wanted to build his people a better country, that was why he was popular. The Brits, who were are the end of their colonial power asked the Americans for help in overthrowing the Iranian government. They succeeded and installed the son of the Shah. People got beaten, imprisoned and murdered and then famously attacked the US embassy and hold prisoners for one year to ward of military intervention by the US.

In my business, the most dishonest people are Iranians...when I see a name that looks Iranian...I think "oh god, here we go"...your people like to steal and cheat...I have heard that the Koran tells muslims it's ok to steal from "infidels".
Iranians are dishonest people and many are heroin addicts!

Ifter reviewing your profile I believe that, while none of the facts you believe are false, the opinions you have generated for yourself and once again presented as fact are at best misguided or misled and at worst, false. I have concluded that you have a remarkable propensity for ignoring facts uncomfortable for you and, tragically, the world has lost another bright mind

Well, if it were that easy to buy off crowds then the US could have also used the CIA to buy pro-shah supporters in 1979.
Mossadeq must not have been that popular or the people would have taken to the streets in the millions like they did in 1979.

yes...look at South America...what about Venezuela attacking Nixon's car...where was the CIA?

The CIA can not manipulate public opinion...it can only help the opposition...like in the Bay of Pigs...but if the oppositition lacks enough popular support the CIA's help will not be enough.
So ultimately it is the people who decide these matters...not the CIA.

Your logic fails, The CIA were supporting Batista and after Fidel took over they staged an invasion that failed.
They overthrew Salvador Allende in Chile because he was a socialist.
They overthrew Mossadegh because he cared about Iran.
They overthrew President Arbez of Guatemala.
They assassinated Pres. Diem of South Vietnam.
They trained bin Laden and the Taliban.
They trained and funded Contras.
They armed and supported Saddam Hussein.
There are countless more, America sucks.

Bay of Pigs attempt to overthrow Castro is a very good example because the CIA supported an invasion by Cuban exiles but the Cuban exiles lacked enough support of the Cuban people to succeed. The CIA is only successful when they have the support of the general population or when the population is apathetic.
Mossadegh was not popular or the Iranian people would have supported him like the Cuban people supported Castro.
The CIA was unable to prop up S. Vietnam....

The CIA supported Afganistan's freedom from Soviet invasion to force a Marxist Govt. on the them. The US has given free and open elections, a Parliament, A Constitution, free speech, press and assembly to Afganistan.
The Soviets did not give any of those freedoms to Afganistan...that's the difference. That's why the USSR lost te cold war.

No, thanks to the PEOPLE of Chile they have a democracy, the US installed August Pinochet as a military dictator after overthrowing and killing Allende, who by the way won in a DEMOCRATIC election.
The CIA did no such thing, they have given them elections, but they're hardly free. Afghanistan has a puppet government and Karzai was a warlord during the civil war in the country. The US are stuck in a colonial mindset. They say "He's a dictator, but atleast he's our dictator."

@EdwardRommel Take a look at all of the various government documents that have been released. You cannot argue against CIA referendums that blatantly state the immense amounts of money that were being funneled into the operation. Additionally, the CIA has an immense budget, and this was the first of many attempts to subvert democracy through the means of CIA covert operations. I suggest that you look into the CIA's history if you want to understand their legacy of abuse and terror..

So Mosadeq was not supported by the Iranian people or they would have taken to the streets in massive protests like they did in 1978 against the Shah.
And where was the CIA in 1978? why did they let the Shah fall?

@EdwardRommel The events that you cite explain the complexities, if you bother to look deeper into the matter. Iran's National Front was a democratic movement, that operated through Iran's legal system. the movements in Cuba and Nicaragua were Franz Fanton-inspired militant movments that attempted to obtain their goals through force. Take a look at the CIA's psychological and propaganda tactics in Guatemala(1954) that manipulated the population out of fear.
BestDrummerInWor1d 1 year ago
@EdwardRommel You make the mistake of generalizing about all of the coups you cite, ll they all had different different components and variables that made U.S. reaction so difficult. Che Guevara and Castro learned from the CIA's tactics in Iran and Guatemala and created a strong militant uprising. Additionally, Guevara was in Guatemala during the coup of '54. In his memoirs he states that the Cuban revolution was successful because Castro understood CIA tactics.
BestDrummerInWor1d 1 year ago
@BestDrummerInWor1d In regards to The later Iranian Revolution, which occured mainly in '79, not '78, it is important to under stand Carter's ambiguous and uncertain policy towards the Islamic movement. The CIA did little to thwart the revolution because the State Department did not give them any course of action. The Camp David peace talks at the time were the primary focus. The Shah's brutal rein created extreme discontent that could not be countered by insufficient CIA reaction.

most of Latin America has always been anti-American as in "yankee go home". They don't appreciate that it was the Monroe Doctrine that prevented Europeans such as the Germans from establishing colonies in Argentina, brazil and Venezuela. In 1902 Britain and Germany sent gunboats to Venezuela to collect unpaid debts...but the US accepted liability for the debts and got the Germans and Brits to withdraw their gunboats.
The US also forced the French out of Mexico.

If not for the Monroe Doctrine South America would have looked like Africa...full of European colonies. The US also protected China from the Japanese colonists...and the US prevented the Germans from seizing the Phillipines.
An examination of the German colonies in Africa would reveal cruelty and bad administation whereas the US administration of the Phillipines was benevolent.
Without the US ..Chile would have became communist.

@EdwardRommel The reality, is that South America basically did greatly resemble Africa. Corporations kept the locals in a state of backwardness while ruthlessly exploiting their labor and resources. You seem to neglect that an estimated 34,000 to 1,000,000 natives died fighting for their independence against the United States. You seem to misunderstand that U.S. colonialism in South America functioned much like European colonialism.

Africa has had complete freedom since about 1960-65. The Europeans are gone and unfortunately so are the subsidies by the European Govts. to improve the infrastructure, build schools, eradicate diseases.
Similar to how the US was able to build the Panama Canal only when the Yellow Feaver and Malaria were brought under control.
Africa has bad govt in most of those countries because there is so much corruption there. They have to want to change before they can change.

@EdwardRommel Additionally, you ignore the fact that the U.S. backed coup in Chile of '73 lead to one of the most repressive regimes of South America. This right wing anti communist regime killed at least 3,000 Chileans and tortured 29,000. A communist take over of Chile would have lead to crucial social reforms such as land redistribution. The U.S. is not as "benevolent" as you may recall. Installing murderous dictators to prevent communism is unjust.

Today Chile is a very prosperous democratic country. Who knows what Allende would have done. Initially Castro denied that he was a communist and he suggested he believed in free and open elections, freedom of speech, assembly and press. Today Cuba has no freedoms and is an economic basket case.
In 1959 Cuba actually had a higher per capita GDP than Mexico. Today Cuba's per capita GDP is down there with Haiti and is one of the poorest nations in the western hemisphere.

If the US was opposed to democracy...then why set up a democracy in Panama, Iraq, and Afganistan.
The CIA was not opposed to democracy or to unfriendly democracies. It was opposed to the establishment of communist regimes because the communists never supported free and open elections, freedom of speech, assembly or press.
That leads to corruption and unhappiness...as was the case with Iraq under Sadaam.

@EdwardRommel The masses adored him. US & UK boycotts were eroding his popularity among the middle class, that`s true, but their hardships wouldn`t have been enough to trigger an uprising (at least, not at that point). The military hated him, the mullahs almost. Hiring *just* enough bodies to cause pandemonium is EZPZ -- think of black bloc`s tactics (or agent provocateurs pretending to be black bloc).

Even if that were true, it's an undeniable fact the US always exploits the difficult situations in other countries to the detriment of the citizens of other countries. The US is guilty whether you accept or not. Read William Blum's "killing Hope". The US just can't stop meddling in other countries' internal affairs and has no problem attacking and plundering those nations, if they can. Other countries should form their own NATO and UN, which are only serving the West.

If we had minded our own business Iran would very likely be a modern secular democracy. The "threat" posed by Iran is one created by the idiots at the CIA. Also note that the CIA acted in the interests of oil companies, but did so using taxpayer's money.
Mossadegh was very Pro-American and very secular, so in ousting him the CIA acted AGAINST the interests of the American people. That's called treason.

There is a story in Koran about angels saying to God what you created (man) will only shed blood on earth. He tells them that I know something you don't. At the end, the angles will bow to who we are, except Satan who is our enemy.
This story is a metaphor for a much greater meaning: There is something in us all that is not satisfied with anything they give us in exchange for our liberation. Look at history.

Let's not forget, however, that our CIA advised President Carter to take the side of Ayatollah. He refused, and traveled to Iran to lavish praise on that Maniacal Butcher. Carter was a born again Christian. This is a variable, speaking of secret organizations, that never is explored.

The Islamic Republic is not worse than The King Of Kings (Shah in Shah's) dictatorial racist "White." First of all Iran is now ruled in a republican/democratic matrix. Secondly it is consistent with the homogeneous religious philosophy of it's people. Thirdly foreign influences has been kept to a minimum. And fourthly there is no where near the number of SAVAK Police actions any more. Of course, the "Westoxicated" elitist class thinks otherwise. Kind of like plantation owners post Civil War.

Republic/Democratic matrix?! Are you high? They just rigged an election and are mudering people who want their votes counted. The SAVAK, as bad as it was, were amateurs compared to the Islamic thugs.

The Shah left the country because the people revolted against his oppressions. Just because the the Islamic Regime is much much worse that the Shah ever was does not excuse the killings that took place during his reign. The number people who died vary depending on whom you ask but even if one person died simply because of his or her political beliefs, that's one person too many. I suggest you save your pity, read some history and not be so generous with other people's lives.

Well, I think he's talking about the fact that Bin Laden offered the Saudis to fight against Saddam and keep the Gulf Nations safe from any invasion, what the Saudi king refused.
Instead, they Saudis asked the USA for help. Osama, however, didn't accept any other non-islamic troops in arabian countries, declaring Jihad against his former alliesb(against the Soviets in Afghanistan).

this is correct, although many people don't know about this. And this is actually the real start of Bin Laden's "war" against the West. From that end it's less about "jihad" as much as it's about Bin Laden's own ego and personal desire for power, as well as that of his disciples (i.e. Zawahiri).
