Mullah-CIA-MI6: Operation Ajax - 19 August 1953 in IRAN -

Kermit "Kim" Roosevelt, Jr. (February 16, 1916 -- June 8, 2000), was a Special Activities Division political action officer who coordinated the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) Operation Ajax, which orchestrated the coup d'état against Iran's prime minister, Mohammed Mosaddeq, and returned Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, to Iran's Peacock Throne in August 1953. He was also the grandson of American president Theodore Roosevelt.

In the Islamic Republic, remembrance of the coup is quite different than that of history books published in the West, and follows the precepts of Ayatollah Khomeini that Islamic jurists must guide the country to prevent "the influence of foreign powers". According to historian Ervand Abrahamian, the government tries to ignore Mosaddeq as much as possible and allocates him only two pages in "high school textbooks." "The mass media elevate Ayatollah Abol-Ghasem Kashani as the real leader of the oil nationalization campaign, depicting Mosaddeq as merely the ayatollah's hanger-on." This is despite the fact that Kashani came out against Mosaddeq by mid-1953 and "told a foreign correspondent that Mossaddeq had fallen because he had forgotten that the shah enjoyed extensive popular support." A month later, Kashani "went even further and declared that Mosaddeq deserved to be executed because he had committed the ultimate offense: rebelling against the shah, `betraying` the country, and repeatedly violating the sacred law." [Cited by Y. Richard, `Ayatollah Kashani: Precursor of the Islamic Republic?` in Religion and Politics in Iran, ed. N. Keddie, (Yale University Press, 1983)] p. 109

In the Islamic Republic of Iran, the main exposé of the 1953 coup d'état, All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror by Stephen Kinzer, has been censored of descriptions of Ayatollah Abol-Ghasem Kashani's activities during the Anglo-American coup d'état. Mahmood Kashani, the son of Abol-Ghasem Kashani, "one of the top members of the current, ruling élite" whom the Iranian Council of Guardians has twice approved to run for the presidency, denies there was a coup d'état in 1953, saying Mossadegh, himself, was obeying British plans:

In my opinion, Mossadegh was the director of the British plans and implemented them ... Without a doubt Mossadegh had the primary and essential role

in the August 1953 coup. Kashani says Mossadegh, the British and the Americans worked against the Ayatollah Kashani to undermine the role of Shia clerics. According to Masoud Kazemzadeh, this theory is contradicted by the fact that "the second person who spoke on Radio Tehran announcing and celebrating the overthrow of Mossadegh was Ayatollah Kashani's son, who was hand-picked by Kermit Roosevelt".

This allegation also is posited in the book Khaterat-e Arteshbod-e Baznesheshteh Hossein Fardoust (The Memoirs of Retired General Hossein Fardoust), published in the Islamic Republic and allegedly written by Hossein Fardoust, a former SAVAK officer. It claims that Mohammad Mosaddegh was not a mortal enemy of the British, but had always favored them, and his nationalisation campaign of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was inspired by "the British themselves".[68] Scholar Ervand Abrahamian suggests that the Islamic Republican authorities may have had Fardoust tortured, and the fact that his death was announced before publication of the book may be significant.

  • khafeshou , ahamagh, kasif, fanatic , you are responsible for the today's genocide In Iran. khafe shou subhuman fanatic islamist piece of garbage

  • هم میهن ایرانی، قدری در گزینش "دشنام" هم سلیقه و هنر بخرج دهید! میدانم که پند و اندرز گرفتن از من و شما گذشته است ولی روشی که شما به "بنی صدر" روا داشته اید، روش درستی نیست. بنی صدر با اینکه "سید" است و "تباهی اسلامی" در ریشه دارد، ولی باز میتوان رگه هایی از منش ایرانی: پارسایی و استواری و درستی را در او دید و بایستی به این ارزشهای ایرانی بها داد. دشنام گویی از فرهنگ "حوزۀ علمیه قم و نجف" آمده است و بر ایرانیان پسندیده نیست (اگر بدانیم با چه چیزی در ستیزیم و چه میخواهیم جایگزین کنیم)!

  • فرزند محمد رضا پهلوی چه گناهی داشت ؟ او هم قربانی دسیسه های انگلیس خائن و رو حانیون دزد و مافیا زده ما شد . مقایسه کنید یک جوان تحصیل کرده مانند فرزند محمد رضاشاه مرحوم و این دزد بیت المال مهدی هاشمی رفسنجانی ؟ با مابقی فرزندان روحانیون ما . افسوس هر روز اسلام قلابی لعنتی روحانیون فرصت طلب ما دارد قربانی می گیرد و مردم ما آزادی بر گذاری یک رفراندوم و همه پرسی را ندارند.
