    I've been watching these old Thames TV news reports lately and I have to say this is really high quality journalism which seems to be missing today.

    The biggest historical mistake that the people of Iran made during their three thousand years of history was to bring Ayatollah and Akhund to power and they have been paying the price for this mistake for forty-one years, and hundreds of times a day they say with tears of regret that God have mercy on the Shah. Forgive us and blame ourselves, and the curse of Iran was rapidly growing economic-military-political, but forty years of being captured by the Ayatollah are suffering both economically and economically.

So off he goes, out of Iraq to France where the world media and a lot of exiled Iranian's thrust him into the limelight, money was pouring in and support for Khomenei rose immensely by the Iranians sick to the back teeth of the CIA installed and protected Shah. Khomenei never intended to raise the people in Iraq, he was quite happy quietly studying and would have prob died there if left alone.

Two or even a third intervening wrong does not make anything right. There must be a basic foundation for all to be equally represented. As compromise comprises the elements that assure that common sense can in the end prevail.And not the wholesale slaughter of so-called enemies. As this sort of social geopolitical meltdown the world witness in dissolving of the reign of the imperial Shah.Where as the replacement ends up being an extremely hard line conservative cleric Jihadist regime.which mirror regional opposing theocratical government's..one being a monarchical theocracy. Whom will see each other more and more as problematic regional enemies.

    what can i say... its not like the people of iran had alot of choices back then, right ? and the priesthood was there for them to serve SOME justice and equality... i just feel sorry for the women and their rights ... and if i look at videos of driving around tehran i think concidering all the embargos and malignancy from the west the country had to deal with the past few decades then the city looks rather crisp and clean !.... i m prone to say they do a better job then the country that i was born in and is now gone .. (GDR ... east germany)

      Unless you live in a region you truly can't understand their situation. True freedom is only achieved when you also stand for your opposition to live just as free. Once you jail or kill for ideology or thought crimes, you yourself are as justly deserving the same.
      You need to realize most have no idea or any influence to change anything our leaders do which seem to be only puppets of globalist bankers who hate all of us really. Many protest or contact our representatives only to be ignored. I truly wish is wasn't so. They're dividing counties by various ideological lines and political means because division and chaos only embolden, enrich and empower them via the HIGALIAN DIALECTIC used by the satanic freemason oligarchs who also are eugenicists wanting to depopulate earth, leaving a certain amount they can tag like cattle and control.
      The IMF and world Bank want China leading the world financial system using crypto currency and tracking us like cattle via agenda 21 2030 to control our land resources family EVERYTHING.
      BLOCKCHAINS OF SLAVERY
      The internet becomes our Human invisible fencing and we all built our own prison.
      Amazon sidewalk 5g and starlink can be used to connect you to the internet of things as their monetized slave product.
      In only one person and the divide so deep only few listen. The only way is Jesus Christ who taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves and bear one another's burdens joyfully.
      I pray for Iran to see truth the same as I pray for the world. I have no idea what is really going on in Iran, I'd love to know how you guys are doing in these times.
      God bless ❣️😔🙏
