Goldie Ghamari - Iran Before 1979： Democracy or Dictatorship？ - PART 3

00:00:00.000 Satsang with Mooji

00:00:30.000 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 Thank you.

00:01:30.000 Thank you.

00:02:00.000 Well, hello, everyone.

00:02:25.340 Welcome to tonight's very chill evening edition of The Goldie Show.

00:02:30.880 We're going to be continuing watching the documentary series.

00:02:36.020 It's from 1977.

00:02:39.160 It's actually an incredibly rare documentary.

00:02:42.400 It's called Iran in Search of Democracy.

00:02:46.700 And it's a rare 1977 documentary that was originally produced by the Times of London.

00:02:54.420 and it examines the political landscape, civic movements and the struggle for democratic or the

00:03:00.980 struggle for democratic reform in Iran. Now, of course, this was framed in the lens of people

00:03:07.440 who thought that Iran was not a democracy. However, for those of you who tuned in or who have seen

00:03:13.680 parts one and two of this series, you know full well that Iran was a democracy and I've explained

00:03:21.660 a lot of that previously as well so um grab a drink get grab a snack get settled in um tonight's

00:03:31.360 bubbly flavor is cherry and i also do have a snack so i got myself some grape tomatoes

00:03:39.020 so every once in a while i might be you know eating a grape tomato while we watch this

00:03:45.840 documentary. And guys, I haven't seen this documentary, so it's a live reaction for me

00:03:52.120 as well. And yeah, for those tuning in, let me know where in the world you're tuning in from.

00:03:59.320 So, all right, let's get started.

00:04:15.840 I don't hear any audio here.

00:04:37.540 No, it's not muted.

00:04:38.700 There's just no audio.

00:04:45.840 The Shah described land reform as the most deep-rooted and revolutionary action that

00:04:53.600 can happen in the life of a nation.

00:04:56.540 In Iran it was.

00:05:01.600 In 14 years the control of the feudal landlords who along with foreign powers were chiefly

00:05:06.840 responsible for the country's lack of development has been broken.

00:05:11.040 progress in Iran stems from that achievement today though with varying

00:05:17.280 degree so this documentary was produced in 1977 so this is two years before the

00:05:25.000 Islamic coup d'etat ease of success and failure the peasant farmers are their

00:05:30.300 own masters Gassim Rady is 44 he can't read or write with his family he works

00:05:39.040 and owns five hectares of land, mainly rice.

00:05:43.120 So, guys, this is important.

00:05:45.960 The fact that this Iranian guy, who's 44 years old, can't read or write,

00:05:52.100 do you know how and why he owns five hectares of land?

00:05:57.780 He didn't buy the land.

00:05:59.580 I can guarantee you, without even having watched this documentary,

00:06:03.760 That land was given to him by the Shah of Iran during the land reform process where the Shah of Iran basically abolished the feudal system, right?

00:06:16.860 So up until about, you know, the mid-1940s, 1950s, there was still a feudal system in Iran at the time.

00:06:27.460 I am so used to saying occupied Iran because I'm speaking about modern Iranian politics.

00:06:31.340 But in the 60s, he got rid of the feudal system and he established land reform.

00:06:38.760 So he basically took land from the mullahs, from the Islamic clerics,

00:06:42.840 and he took land from the feudal landlords and he divided that among the people.

00:06:48.000 That's exactly why the Islamic clerics wanted to get rid of the Shah

00:06:55.860 and were pushing for the 1979 Islamic coup d'etat.

00:06:59.920 So keep that in mind.

00:07:01.340 So the guy, like, in the documentary just said that this gentleman owns, like, five hectares of land.

00:07:08.280 Let me go back a little bit.

00:07:09.800 And let's see how this gentleman who can't read or write, how did he become a landowner?

00:07:19.420 Gassamradi is 44.

00:07:21.100 He can't read or write.

00:07:23.100 With his family, he works and owns five hectares of land, mainly rice.

00:07:31.340 gas and his family are more fortunate than many other peasants whose lives have been changed by

00:07:38.780 land reform the land they've inherited is on iran's caspian seaboard it's very fertile and water is

00:07:45.820 plentiful before land reform gas and his family were tenant farmers on the same five hectares of

00:07:58.060 Did you catch that? So before the Shah's land reform, Qasim and his family were tenants on that same land, which means the five hectares of land that he currently owns. Prior to the Shah's land reform, he didn't own that.

00:08:17.760 He was basically a serf, and he worked for the feudal landowner.

00:08:25.760 But now, after the Shah's land reforms, the Shah basically gave him that land.

00:08:33.880 The landlord and his agents took 80% of the produce, beat the menfolk, and abused their women.

00:08:40.200 so not only were they serfs they were pretty much slaves because whatever they produced

00:08:49.260 the landlord took 80 percent of what they produced they beat the men and they abused

00:08:56.220 the women in the family the shah got rid of that that was the system that existed in iran and the

00:09:03.960 Pahlavi dynasty got rid of that system, which is why the Islamists and the communists hate

00:09:11.200 the Pahlavi dynasty. Let's watch that again now uninterrupted.

00:09:19.280 Gassim Rady is 44. He can't read or write. With his family, he works and owns five hectares of

00:09:26.200 land, mainly rice. Gassam and his family are more fortunate than many other peasants whose

00:09:37.340 lives have been changed by land reform. The land they've inherited is on Iran's Caspian

00:09:43.100 seaboard. It's very fertile and water is plentiful.

00:09:53.680 Before land reform, Gassam and his family were tenant farmers on the same five hectares

00:09:58.120 of land.

00:09:59.420 The landlord and his agents took 80% of the produce, beat the menfolk and abused their

00:10:05.020 women.

00:10:09.480 In straight money terms alone, the Radhi family is several times better off than it was in

00:10:14.220 the days before land reform.

00:10:17.180 When I wanted a house, I had to ask the landlord.

00:10:20.720 asking him over and over again he would provide me with one which would collapse

00:10:25.520 but this new house i built myself with my own expense and with my own hands

00:10:34.240 for the land gasom has to pay a total of 1300 pounds over 12 years

00:10:39.920 and he borrowed about the same amount to complete his house

00:10:42.720 yeah you know this is actually really good comment from tony so tony says

00:10:51.460 gave a good man um 538,196 square feet of land geez the shah sure does sound terrible

00:11:03.040 like the media and communists say exactly guys it's pahlavi derangement syndrome so just think

00:11:08.720 about Trump derangement syndrome. Yeah, Pahlavi derangement syndrome is even worse and it's

00:11:14.400 existed for far longer. But when you actually look at the history, when you actually look at

00:11:20.800 what the Shah did, you realize that the Shah was actually saving Iran from the jihadis and the

00:11:30.340 Islamists and from the communists. And this is why, today, Iranians call the Pahlavi dynasty

00:11:41.060 the Iran building family, because they literally built modern day Iran.

00:11:47.780 Qasimradi represents the top level of success attained by individual peasant farmers since

00:11:55.700 land reform but the success of collective efforts is bringing even greater prosperity to peasant

00:12:04.100 farmers who not more than a decade ago were living in conditions even more dreadful than those of the

00:12:09.780 villages of medieval western europe yes i literally compared this to medieval western europe so

00:12:18.020 basically prior to the land reform all these peasants who were basically slaves of like the

00:12:24.500 muslim clerics and the communist feudal landlords these uh you know peasants iranian peasants

00:12:31.540 lived worse than medieval villagers and the shah of iran changed all of that

00:12:43.380 this is the life today in a farm corporation in the south of iran

00:12:47.220 It was formed three years ago by 400 peasant farmers from 17 villages.

00:12:56.040 Our life is much better in many aspects, thank God. There is no shortage of drinking water,

00:13:05.400 clothing, food. Our drinking water, the baths, all those things are much better now.

00:13:10.740 excellent much better now in the old days in the villages it wasn't like this

00:13:19.140 now we have wash hand basins and sinks and baths we have them all now I notice

00:13:28.020 he hasn't got a television most of his friends around here have got a

00:13:31.320 television why is he not got one just at present I've got no really cash to buy

00:13:38.620 one with. I have a daughter-in-law who was unwell. I spent all my money on her, between

00:13:44.240 £500 and £600.

00:13:56.900 Not all of the 17 villages which make up this farm corporation are prospering.

00:14:08.620 some of the peasant folk apart from being better nourished seem to be just as poor as they've ever

00:14:16.060 been yeah well that's because you can't you literally can't fix i don't know 1400 years

00:14:24.780 of islamic feudalism and poverty overnight right like you have to start from somewhere

00:14:32.940 right you're talking about literally 10 years you can't solve poverty

00:14:39.640 like you can't fix a system that has been going on for 1400 years under like islamic

00:14:46.980 shia cleric rule in 10 years but yeah like living conditions were terrible this this is what the

00:14:53.720 shah was fixing this is what the shah was fixing and now there are right now there are places in

00:15:01.020 modern-day occupied Iran, where the living conditions are even worse. They're even worse

00:15:07.100 than what they were back then, because the Muslim, you know, Islamic regime, whatever,

00:15:13.540 they have completely, completely neglected the villages.

00:15:18.060 I mean, remember, what you're seeing here, this is what the landlords, like the feudal

00:15:32.000 landlords and the Muslim clerics, this is what they wanted. This is what they

00:15:38.600 wanted for the people of Iran. And the Shah was trying to fix this.

00:15:48.060 but what has changed and very dramatically is their prospects the better life they've only

00:15:56.900 dreamed about is on its way see like this is what breaks my heart um we're watching a documentary

00:16:04.600 from 1977 and even the guy in the documentary acknowledges that maybe the changes haven't

00:16:12.300 happened yet, but their prospects are much better. And, you know, they're looking forward

00:16:18.980 to a future that they didn't have under feudalism, under the, you know, Muslim Islamic cleric

00:16:26.640 rule. This was 1977. Two years later, overnight, Iran literally goes back to being a seventh

00:16:36.000 century Islamic hellhole governed by Sharia law. And the prospects of all these people that you're

00:16:42.140 watching literally go down the drain take the case of zard husseini from this village

00:16:52.220 his father is dead so at 16 young zard husseini who has three sisters is the head of the family

00:17:01.460 it's his responsibility to provide the better life and he's doing that by skillfully exploiting

00:17:07.180 every possibility offered to him by his membership of the farm corporation his

00:17:15.560 stake in the corporation inherited from his father is 10 hectares of land which

00:17:20.140 in turn he exchanged for 110 shares

00:17:29.100 at present the family lives in a traditional mud house it's clean but

00:17:34.040 that's all inside the mud walls the rooms are dark and bare there's no

00:17:43.880 electricity no piped water no toilet facilities nothing really and the cattle

00:17:52.040 live in though in this house they do have separate rooms a legacy from the

00:17:56.300 days of anarchy when thieves roamed the villages at will but this is soon to be

00:18:05.540 the new life for the Zahd Husseini family a new house in the residential

00:18:09.560 area of the farm corporation Wow it's costing them more than six thousand

00:18:14.540 pounds they've put down a deposit of a quarter and have to pay the balance over

00:18:18.620 over 10 years how can they afford it well the value of their shares in the farm corporation

00:18:27.320 has doubled in three years do you see that guys so basically the Shah the Shah created

00:18:33.500 these farm corporations giving the villagers shares and then as the shares increased in

00:18:41.680 value they were able to use those shares to buy housing that was literally built by the government

00:18:50.080 cheap housing like like cheap in price right like not cheap in quality it's high quality housing

00:18:56.560 that is inexpensive right so i mean guys like these these are like villagers who probably

00:19:06.260 didn't even go to school, right? And now all of a sudden, right, they're like owners and they have

00:19:11.600 shares and like all these things, right? This is what the Shah was doing. This is why we call

00:19:18.340 the Pahlavi family, the Iran building family, look how they were like modernizing, right?

00:19:27.600 and no i'm not a socialist this is this is pretty much like controlled capitalism here

00:19:36.680 the shah was getting rid of the communist system that was in place he was getting rid of the feudal

00:19:44.240 tribal system where you know basically like under communism you don't own anything under

00:19:51.200 communism everything belongs to the state and prior to the pahlavi dynasty existing

00:19:57.020 the government at the time, which was basically the feudal landlords, right? Like the lords and

00:20:03.540 the mullahs, right? They owned all the land and the people didn't own anything and they couldn't

00:20:12.500 own anything. And whatever they produced, they couldn't even keep most of it. They could only

00:20:17.920 keep 20% of what they produced. The other 80% went to the landlords, which the landlords and guys,

00:20:26.200 The landlords were not private citizens. The landlords were part of the ruling class, the ruling system. So it was pretty much kind of like communism. The Shah got rid of that and he was introducing capitalism. He was basically teaching people about, you know, like he was basically giving people the opportunity to own land and to build and create their own wealth. That's capitalism.

00:20:56.200 Wages and other benefits added, the family's income has increased six-fold in the same period.

00:21:05.580 It has to be admitted that this and other farm corporations in Iran could not have been formed

00:21:10.800 and would not now be prospering without huge supporting investments in them by central government.

00:21:16.440 But a formula for success has been found.

00:21:19.660 Its potential is enormous if the flow of government funds can be maintained.

00:21:26.200 the establishment and development of collective farms is an expensive business for the government

00:21:32.640 the farmers contribute their land but after that it's the government which has to provide the

00:21:37.560 funds to pay for land leveling the provision of water government basically means the shah

00:21:42.440 so the shah was paying for everything and to start with managerial and training staff

00:21:48.000 By the way, during this time, the Shah was buying a lot of, like, farm equipment from the United States to help build these farm co-ops.

00:22:07.780 Under the reform program, most of the land formerly owned by feudal landlords was transferred to 70% of the rural population.

00:22:15.720 That's an achievement which no other developing country can match.

00:22:24.720 ...the funds to pay for land levelling, the provision of water, and to start with, managerial and training staff.

00:22:37.720 Under the reform programme, most of the land formerly owned by feudal landlords

00:22:41.720 was transferred to 70% of the rural population.

00:22:47.720 Most of the land that belonged to the feudal landlords

00:22:51.720 was transferred to the rural peasant population.

00:22:56.720 That's an achievement which no other developing country can match.

00:23:00.720 but the benefits of land reform in Iran in terms of higher income for the land

00:23:13.620 owning peasant farmers haven't been evenly spread because of the shortage of

00:23:17.540 government support funds so farmers who've not yet been organized into

00:23:26.300 collective groups cooperatives and farm corporations are not so prosperous as

00:23:30.680 either the radi or the zaad husseini families and these farmers are many their incomes have

00:23:39.360 barely kept pace with the rise in the price of non-foodstuffs you know you see this if it was

00:23:49.240 up to the mullahs and the feudal landlords even today even today every single iranian would be

00:23:58.920 like this. The reason that we Iranians are, you know, the majority of us are, well, I mean,

00:24:05.880 under the Shah's time anyway, now it's become terrible again, because in 1979, they, you know,

00:24:11.860 took over the country. But if it was up to the Muslim Durka Nazis, and the communist landlords,

00:24:19.820 they wanted all Iranians to be like this, because they just wanted us to be uneducated,

00:24:25.720 um illiterate uh you know poor and basically just be serfs the shock got rid of that system

00:24:35.500 at present only 13 percent of the total land area of iran can support crops

00:24:47.720 and less than half of that is irrigated

00:24:50.100 Iran is a development planner's nightmare.

00:25:04.720 Yet progress is reaching out to find and touch even the most forgotten of Iran's people,

00:25:10.160 the nomads of Sistan and Balochistan.

00:25:12.900 lives are being saved and transformed.

00:25:31.880 The desert is being forced to provide food, jobs and a future with security for the nomads

00:25:37.200 of the area.

00:25:50.120 This is a first crop of barley growing in what 18 months ago was desert.

00:26:01.760 The name of this place is Tahlab Mirjawa, unlikely as it may seem it's a new town in

00:26:06.820 the making, a place of permanent settlement for the nomads whose chances

00:26:11.200 of survival in the surrounding desert and the mountains beyond are decreasing

00:26:15.580 with each year.

00:26:18.060 Till now, their lives have been unchanged since time began.

00:26:31.540 oh my god look at that piercing look at that nose piercing wow

00:26:52.500 you know what i should show this to my parents and be like

00:26:57.300 because because like when i was younger i wanted a nose piercing thankfully thankfully my mom and

00:27:03.660 dad said no i'm not allowed to get a nose piercing and i'm grateful for that but i should show the

00:27:08.680 i should show this to them and be like look look iranians have nose piercings

00:27:13.200 the nomads are prepared to give up their wandering life and settle because there's

00:27:20.260 no alternative out on the tracks their sheep are dying from lack of water

00:27:25.140 Also, guys, just FYI, this guy, he's not a Durka, so his turban is a different style.

00:27:39.080 So keep that in mind.

00:27:40.920 A lot, like there are various cultures and various tribes in the Middle East that wear

00:27:46.480 turbans.

00:27:49.920 That doesn't mean that they're Durkas.

00:27:52.260 The turban Durka is very different from the other traditional style of turbans.

00:27:59.600 So this guy is not a Durka.

00:28:00.980 He's just like a regular, normal villager.

00:28:03.080 I will let you know in this documentary where and when a Durka shows up.

00:28:11.080 But so far, it's just basically rural villagers.

00:28:14.720 It's just normal people, you know, in traditional clothing from whichever part of the country they're from.

00:28:22.260 and and guys you can also see like the women were like you know they were kind of wearing hijab like

00:28:35.640 but so so this is called a chador chador is like a loose piece of cloth um that you kind of put

00:28:42.900 over yourself but as you can see um it first of all it's white okay and the reason it's white

00:28:49.760 is because that helps to reflect the light instead of absorb it. So the Chador actually

00:28:57.600 keeps you cooler than if you weren't wearing anything. Kind of like the same reason why when

00:29:04.120 people go outside, they wear a hat, right? You wear a hat to like cover your face or, you know,

00:29:08.600 provide shade or something like that. That's the same thing. But as you can tell, like it's just

00:29:13.540 kind of like loose around her. And, you know, same with the child as well, because you don't want

00:29:19.960 like you don't want the child to get like sunburned because you're in the desert. It's also the reason

00:29:24.620 why the men wear like the turbans, right? Different, different type of turbans. It's to protect their

00:29:31.600 heads, basically. Now, it's not to say they aren't Muslim. They are absolutely Muslim. But they're

00:29:37.460 not like radical jihadi muslims they're just like normal muslims right like um you can tell like

00:29:45.380 like they're not all about like just you know covering their faces and like you know no one's

00:29:50.280 wearing um like a a burqa or like a niqab right like no one's covering like the women aren't

00:29:57.620 covering their faces. And the, and the other, the other thing as well is that, um, they have no

00:30:10.940 problem with being filmed. Right. Whereas today, um, especially in a lot of like Western, like,

00:30:18.700 you know, European countries, um, you know, there's like this whole subset of like extremist,

00:30:24.920 like you know muslims um who walk around not only like full-on covering their faces

00:30:32.080 but if you like film them they come after you and they attack you and they're like why are you

00:30:37.360 filming me that's against my religion blah blah blah right like they basically taken the the

00:30:42.860 durka to the extreme but like iranians you can tell like the vast majority are just like normal

00:30:48.500 people the nomads are prepared to give up their wandering life and settle

00:31:04.040 because there's no alternative out on the tracks their sheep are dying from

00:31:08.960 lack of water my brothers and I had almost 300 sheep there are only 60 or

00:31:20.300 70 left now but if he had to stay out in the desert now if there wasn't this

00:31:25.800 scheme here in Talaam this new development scheme what would have

00:31:29.120 happened we would have lived in the same misery we would have tried to get to

00:31:35.740 pakistan or afghanistan to fetch wheat on our camels and what about his children does he think

00:31:42.620 they will grow up and want to settle here for the rest of their lives i only wish to god that

00:31:47.740 there will be progress and work here so that i can bring them all together here to get work

00:31:58.300 work and security there will be for an increasing number of nomad families and their children as

00:32:25.900 uh so i'm just seeing a few comments um let me just let me just address this really quick so

00:32:31.440 Christopher is saying, what's the status on the ground inside Iran? Are the folks able to depose

00:32:36.540 the mullahs and IRGC? So the status in occupied Iran is that people are mobilizing and getting

00:32:43.100 ready. They're not able to depose the mullahs and the IRGC just yet because the mullahs, you know,

00:32:49.680 the Muslim Nazis and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, they're, you know, heavily armed,

00:32:53.880 and the Iranian people are unarmed. My understanding is that some things are happening.

00:32:59.300 We don't know what. There have been. There was a strike. You know, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attempted to send four drones, sent comm, shot them down. But if you're looking for the latest news, this live stream is not it.

00:38:01.480 of nomad families and their children as tarlab grows and takes on the shape of a small town

00:38:06.640 200 hectares of desert land under cultivation in 12 months time there'll be 500

00:38:16.800 at present the nomads working here are employed as casual laborers but as pioneers in this

00:38:27.900 development project they'll be the first to receive title deeds to the land which

00:38:32.160 they'll be able to exchange in time for shares in the farm corporation to be established here

00:38:37.080 wow the man whose iron will is responsible for the talent project is governor-general

00:38:45.180 Manny, the Shah's personal representative in the province.

00:38:50.820 These are tomatoes here.

00:38:52.360 These are tomatoes.

00:38:54.000 The purpose of that is to provide some foods that at present we need badly inside the market.

00:39:02.560 But given that tomatoes are growing quite healthily now, I think, in what was desert 18 months ago,

00:39:07.740 does that mean that the food production...

00:39:11.080 Guys, like, the Shah, the Shah was literally building farms in the desert.

00:39:21.300 Like, they were bringing technology to the desert to help people farm.

00:39:28.280 Like, what's that process called?

00:39:34.620 Why were the women wearing hijabs before 1979?

00:39:38.360 I thought that Islam took over.

00:39:39.860 So the reason that some women were wearing hijab is because they wanted to. Prior to 1979, Iran was a mix. Women had the choice of whether they wanted to wear hijab or not. So some women wore it and some women didn't. And it was like a non-issue. It was a non-issue because the women who wore hijab, first of all, the hijab was not like what it is today.

00:40:05.580 It wasn't like all black and they weren't like this, right?

00:40:09.320 Like it was like colorful and bright and most of it was loose, right?

00:40:14.780 So like here, like, okay, let me, let me, let me show you this commercial.

00:40:22.840 I don't know.

00:40:28.500 Okay.

00:40:32.420 Okay.

00:40:35.580 Okay. Okay. So let me bring this up. So I'm going to share a few commercials with you

00:40:50.680 from Iran from before the 1979 Islamic revolution. Okay. So where's the playlist? Where'd it go?

00:41:05.580 All right, so here is a commercial.

00:41:35.580 okay so let me let me just explain what's happening here so um okay so basically this

00:41:57.680 this woman so okay so here's like a broken glass okay so this is a broken broken window

00:42:04.260 and then um this woman comes in like the angry woman neighbor comes in she's storming into the

00:42:12.960 house and then she's like your son like put it like use the slingshot to like um throw a rock

00:42:20.900 into my window and then um and then and then it's it's all done in like Persian poet like it's it's

00:42:28.100 like poetry rhyming so um it's like traditional music but they turn it into like a commercial

00:42:33.960 right so she's like your kid came and like broke my window and then and then I think the mom is

00:42:42.440 like what my kid didn't do that what are you talking about or something and then they're kind

00:42:47.900 of like arguing and then you can see like the little kid he's sitting on the roof and he's got

00:42:52.780 like a slingshot in his hand and then, I don't know, something, you know, and then it goes on

00:42:58.900 and then they're like arguing. Okay. They're arguing. And then like, so they're arguing,

00:43:06.460 arguing. And then, and then this woman, this woman shows up, right? So this woman has a hijab,

00:43:11.320 right? So this woman has hijab, but it's not like the like ultra conservative, like you cannot,

00:43:17.760 Right. Like even her hijab, it's like hair showing. Guys, this hijab is this hijab is not allowed in Iran right now because this is showing too much hair. Right. So, yeah, like it was like like they were like some women wore hijab, but it wasn't like hardcore hijab.

00:43:36.320 It was just like, you know, whoever wanted to observe it, but it was, it was very casual hijab,

00:43:42.300 let's say. Okay. Only like the, like back then only like the hardcore Durkhas wore hijab. So

00:43:49.960 that's how you could tell who was a Durka. Like this woman's just normal, right? Like she has a

00:43:54.240 little head covering, um, you know, pretty cute. And then anyway, so they all come in and then

00:43:59.240 it's like a tea commercial. And then this other woman starts like singing and dancing about how

00:44:03.280 amazing tea is so all right now let's watch the commercial because now you know what it is about

00:44:07.640 it's basically two women arguing uh about like a broken window and then you know but anyways it

00:44:14.100 this goes to show you like hijab was okay because back then like hijab was not what you think it is

00:44:21.100 today and um prior to 1979 Iranian women had the freedom to choose whether or not they wanted to

00:44:31.060 wear hijab. So some women wore it and some women did not. That's what we're fighting

00:44:36.760 for. We're fighting for the freedom to choose. And the Islamic regime took that away from

00:44:45.040 us in 1979 oh yeah so the angry woman neighbor comes in and she's like you know in a very

00:45:10.240 persian poetry poetic way like your your son broke my window and then the mom is like

00:45:16.880 what am i supposed to tell him he's a child that's what kids do and then let's see what the

00:45:20.800 kid says let's see what the that's like the iranian dennis the menace right there with

00:45:25.360 the slingshot right that's what it reminds me of so then the kid is like she's lying the window

00:45:36.320 broke itself i didn't break the window and then she's like oh you you like you know you little kid

00:45:45.520 i'm lying and then she's like i saw him i saw him break it

00:45:58.480 she's like he broke the window oh my god why is no one believing me

00:46:02.320 you believe the kid the good dog believes the kid oh so the window broke itself okay

00:46:08.640 yeah like it's it's like the iranian bart simpson or dennis the menace there you go

00:46:14.400 and then this woman comes in and she's like he's like let's just make up over some tea

00:46:19.520 She's like, you know, now let's go and let's make up over, uh, you know, over some, some

00:46:34.760 tea guys we want to like a whole journey there so

00:47:04.520 So this was literally a tea commercial. The whole thing, the whole thing was a tea commercial. So

00:47:11.080 the whole thing is like, you know, you can like just, you know, make, you know, if you're having

00:47:16.220 an issue, just, you know, have some tea and, and, you know, everything will be fine. So that was

00:47:24.080 like a whole journey about tea, but there you go. I'll show you one more Iranian commercial,

00:47:30.340 and then we'll go back to the documentary.

00:47:33.360 I don't really need to translate this.

00:47:34.940 So basically, it's just like an appliance commercial.

00:47:37.300 So the woman is just like talking about, you know,

00:47:41.320 the different appliances that they're selling.

00:47:44.500 Just Iranian tea, Persian tea.

00:47:48.280 Persian tea.

00:47:48.980 We only have like kind of one kind of tea in Iran.

00:47:51.920 It's just like authentic tea, right?

00:48:00.340 she's basically saying oh you know woman of the house man of the house if you want to be comfortable

00:48:17.280 you should know what to do and you know what things to you know where to go to like you know

00:48:23.400 have like the best house and be very comfortable and like the best products in your house anyway

00:48:28.340 So she's basically singing and dancing and she's going to sell a whole bunch of like appliances now.

00:48:43.680 So it's from it's this company called Ozemaish.

00:48:47.460 So all the brands, it's like Ozemaish.

00:48:50.300 All right, let's go back to the beginning.

00:48:51.780 So you guys can now appreciate the poetry here.

00:48:58.340 Oh my God, look at the TV!

00:49:28.340 whoa look at this what what look at the tv what is that that's wild

00:49:37.620 okay i guess i guess tvs in the 1970s look like that that's crazy

00:49:43.060 oh my gosh this was like top of the line in the 1970s i guess oh my gosh okay

00:49:58.340 Oh, it's air conditioner.

00:50:28.340 here now

00:50:50.340 hot water

00:50:58.340 there you go guys so back when iran was a normal country that was you know slowly developing

00:51:08.860 potential here is enormous so yes there there's a little glimpse of some actual uh iranian tv

00:51:16.800 commercials so um well only one brand well guys that was a commercial for that brand i i just

00:51:23.940 That's just one TV commercial for that one brand.

00:51:28.000 I'm sure there were other brands out there, but that's just like, you know, it's like

00:51:34.580 if you're like watching like a, I don't know, like a Apple, Apple commercial, like, you

00:51:39.360 know, if there's, if they're like advertising iPhones or Apple products, they're not going

00:51:44.020 to be advertising Samsung in the commercial, right?

00:51:47.020 So this was a commercial from that one particular company promoting their stuff on TV.

00:51:52.700 um but yeah iran was a normal country and um yeah there were you know women who um chose to wear

00:52:00.900 hijab but it was their choice right like no one was forced into it and the vast majority of them

00:52:07.000 the hijab was not what it is today like it was loose it was colorful um and it was it was more

00:52:13.320 like traditional than anything else so all right now let's go back

00:52:17.380 They'll be the first to receive title deeds to the land which they'll be able to exchange

00:52:25.580 in time for shares in the farm corporation to be established here.

00:52:33.100 The man whose iron will is responsible for the Taleb project is Governor General Mani,

00:52:37.900 the Shah's personal representative in the province.

00:52:40.700 these are tomatoes here these are tomatoes the purpose of that is to provide some

00:52:48.500 foods that at present we need badly inside the market but given that tomatoes are growing quite

00:52:56.240 healthily now I think in what was desert 18 months ago does that mean that the food production the

00:53:03.140 potential here is enormous provided that it's handled properly yes I believe so so I'm noticing

00:53:10.100 that some of you are commenting on the outfits of like this Iranian yeah that's because uh Iranians

00:53:16.340 who lived in urban centers uh were much more um like like they basically wore the same clothes

00:53:24.900 that like Americans wore in the 1970s right there was no difference there

00:53:29.060 um it was only in like the more rural areas the rural developing areas that you could really see

00:53:35.300 sort of the nomadic cultural traditional type outfits um very similar to like america right

00:53:42.980 like america think of america like i don't know 50 60 years ago where you know somewhere like new

00:53:50.140 york people dressed a certain way but then you went out into um like more of the rural areas in

00:53:56.720 in the united states and you know people still wore sort of like traditional farm clothing or

00:54:03.120 you know, whatever the case was, right? Kind of like that, that's basically what it was. So

00:54:08.580 the, the modernization was, you know, started in the urban centers and worked its way outward. So

00:54:14.920 that's why you see, you know, Iranians with two different styles of, of dress here, you have like

00:54:21.220 the rural, you know, traditional nomads, and then you have the people who are part of the Shah's

00:54:27.260 government who are there to build the farm co-ops and to modernize the area and to basically bring

00:54:36.320 everyone up out of poverty. Yeah, like my dad pretty much dressed like this guy in the 70s.

00:54:43.540 You know, that is a barren soil and we have to work a little bit with that soil,

00:54:49.820 wash down the first excessive minerals that they have

00:54:55.820 and then make it ready for a successful vegetable growing.

00:55:01.040 So at present, most of our task is to improve the soil

00:55:05.580 by sowing barley and wheat and alfalfa and this kind of crops.

00:55:13.920 To consolidate the soil.

00:55:15.560 These are more resistant to these conditions

00:55:18.160 and then by plowing this under we are adding some humus to the soil and sweetening that one

00:55:25.620 so making ready for a successful vegetable growing but if we survey this land out here now

00:55:32.820 in five years from now what is going to be growing out here maybe tomato maybe eggplant

00:55:38.080 maybe lettuce or any kinds of vegetables that people need here

00:55:42.820 governor general many spoiler alert they never made it to five years because this documentary

00:55:52.300 was filmed in 1977 two years later the islamic regime took over in a coup d'etat and the country

00:56:00.080 was sent right back to the 7th century under the rule of the muslim nazis he never takes no for an

00:56:07.640 answer even the fragile seedlings seem to grow to his will in the desert soil

00:56:12.200 it was that guys that's not the shah that that's not the shah that's the governor general he works

00:56:19.980 for the shah i know it kind of looks like him but that's not the shah that's the representative

00:56:25.980 of the shah that's the governor general for the area who was tasked with uh developing and

00:56:32.700 modernizing. It was on his instructions that Iranian consulting engineers surveyed the desert

00:56:37.780 for water. When they reported their findings, plenty of water, with the advice that exploiting

00:56:42.640 it was not an economic proposition, he politely told them and various government officials to go

00:56:48.040 to hell. Whoa, wait, wait, what? Wait, wait, I totally missed that. We're making ready for a

00:56:57.300 successful vegetable growing but if we survey this land out here now in five

00:57:02.100 years from now what is going to be growing out here maybe tomato or maybe

00:57:05.820 eggplant maybe lettuce or any kinds of vegetables that people need governor

00:57:14.520 general many never takes no for an answer even the fragile seedlings seem

00:57:19.300 to grow to his will in the desert soil it was on his instructions that Iranian

00:57:25.980 consulting engineers surveyed the desert for water when they reported their findings plenty

00:57:30.800 of water with the advice that exploiting it was not an economic proposition he politely told them

00:57:35.960 and various government officials to go to hell and now the water flows so did you catch that

00:57:43.360 the governor general of the shah responsible for the area

00:57:47.740 when he was advised that they should try and exploit the water for financial gain

00:57:54.900 the shah's representative told those people go to hell the iranian people are going to get the water

00:58:03.740 and that's exactly what happened

00:58:06.420 so the the water crisis that's happening today

00:58:13.180 this could have been prevented the shah was literally the shah back in the 1970s

00:58:19.740 was working on the water situation and fixing the water situation.

00:58:26.360 And then when the Muslim Nazi invaders took over, look what happened.

00:58:32.960 There is literally no excuse for what's happening in occupied Iran right now.

00:58:49.740 One main problem in Iran is that many costly development projects like this are not economically

00:59:00.180 viable in the short term. But without them, and because the country was so backward, there

00:59:05.460 could be no social or political progress. In such circumstances, decision-making about

00:59:15.240 what to spend and where is a high-risk business that's why many an authority in

00:59:20.040 Iran are reluctant to accept the responsibility for decision-making and

00:59:23.880 why many decisions are left to the Shah

00:59:36.360 still in Balochistan this is Dalgan an established settlement for nomads soon

00:59:41.620 to form a farm corporation in what three years ago was empty desert. Here, 24 wells support

00:59:47.860 450 families who grow wheat, barley, beans, and cucumbers. This is how Talhab will grow.

00:59:55.160 Look at that. This was all desert. This was all desert like three, four years ago,

01:00:00.980 and the Shah basically made it all green.

01:00:04.460 And this is Iran Shah, a city which grew out of the desert.

01:00:12.540 This too is how Talab and Dalgan before it will grow.

01:00:21.500 It's estimated that Iran Shah's population of mainly nomads will rise from 20,000 to 300,000 in 15 years.

01:00:34.460 Many of the nomads already settled here are being trained in a whole variety of town trades

01:00:41.900 and semi-skilled jobs. Guys, this is exactly how you modernize a population.

01:00:51.940 You don't just give them handouts. You train them and you teach them a skilled trade so that they

01:01:00.060 can have the tools to become self-sufficient and to provide wealth for themselves, to create that

01:01:09.660 wealth. That's exactly what the Shah was doing. I mean, guys, these are people that were neglected

01:01:17.120 for centuries, for centuries by the Muslim rulers, by the previous dynasties. Guys, the previous

01:01:25.240 dynasties were all basically subservient to the Muslim clerics. The previous dynasty to the

01:01:33.620 Pahlavi dynasty, the Qajar dynasty, was terrible. They were garbage. The Qajar dynasty, the reason

01:01:39.800 the Muslim clerics liked them is because the Qajar dynasty basically just did whatever the Muslim

01:01:44.480 clerics wanted them to do. And they basically just, like the Qajar king or whatever, they

01:01:50.440 basically just spent all their time like traveling across Europe, wasting money and just being high

01:01:56.240 on opium all the time. But the Pahlavi dynasty, starting with Reza Shah the Great, they basically

01:02:03.560 said, we're not going to like, like we're going to modernize Iran. We're not going to let the

01:02:08.360 Muslim clerics continue controlling the people. We want to build a modern nation. And that's what

01:02:15.560 they were doing and and the muslim nazis didn't like this governor general many believes that

01:02:24.620 iran shah will become the centerpiece of development takeoff in baluchistan

01:02:28.760 there's a different approach to the problem of bringing the nomads

01:02:45.500 into the 20th century in the southern part of Iran, where they are the main suppliers

01:02:49.700 of meat for the whole country.

01:03:01.020 In a good year, when it rains, the nomads can supply 10 million head of sheep.

01:03:05.660 In a bad year, only 3 million.

01:03:12.060 By providing health care, improved breeds of sheep, and feedlots on the grazing trails

01:03:16.900 to make up for the lack of rain, this huge meat complex is aiming to stabilize production.

01:03:31.200 Oh, man.

01:03:31.880 Over 10 years, and because of rising...

01:03:33.800 Oh, I don't know if I can watch this.

01:03:35.560 I don't know if I can watch this part.

01:03:36.760 I know it's like sheep slaughter.

01:03:38.760 I just, I can't do it.

01:03:39.600 I can't do it.

01:03:42.060 if they're going to show like sheeps being slaughtered, I don't want to watch this part.

01:03:46.620 Oh, they're only shearing the sheep. Okay. They're only shearing the sheep. Okay. That's

01:04:10.340 Oh, yeah, okay. They're only shearing the sheep. That's okay.

01:04:14.180 Guys, I'm not a vegan or anything. I understand. I understand.

01:04:17.680 You know, listen, I love meat. I get it.

01:04:20.840 I just, I just, I can't watch it.

01:04:23.920 Okay, they're shearing. That's okay.

01:04:32.780 Why are they dragging these sheep like that?

01:04:34.700 Over 10 years, and because of rising incomes, the consumption per head of meat in Iran has quadrupled.

01:04:40.340 by the time nomad workers have been fully trained in production line skills

01:04:56.040 the complex expects to be exported yeah for for the for the smart ass in the chat who's

01:05:02.080 saying if you can't watch it don't eat it i've watched plenty i've watched plenty okay i know

01:05:08.780 exactly what goes on so don't be a smart ass just because i don't want to watch it tonight on a

01:05:13.740 youtube live stream because i don't want my channel to you know be banned or whatever or be reported

01:05:18.780 yeah keep your smart ass comments to yourself thank you being 60 percent of its meat and

01:05:24.340 byproducts to the persian gulf and europe oh look we have like a baluchistan is in pakistan

01:05:34.820 We literally have a province called Sistan and Baluchistan, and it's Iranian, and they're Iranian.

01:05:41.560 So, by the way, Pakistan's a fake country.

01:05:45.060 So I find it really weird that you're saying that that belongs to Pakistan.

01:05:49.820 Well, your country didn't exist until 1947.

01:05:52.880 Iran's existed for 3,000 years.

01:05:54.780 So I would probably suggest you take a step back because Pakistan's, you know, no disrespect,

01:06:01.760 but it's literally like the fakest country in the world.

01:06:04.820 Pakistan basically is India, it's just the Muslims took over.

01:06:34.820 left to the right to see which how many sheep there are opposite numbers shearing how many are

01:06:39.700 they managing to share a day now per man we're averaging each man is averaging 100 sheep per

01:06:45.300 per person per day and after how much training is that this is after about seven months training

01:06:49.940 so how would that compare with the people you know in australia for example this compares on

01:06:53.060 par with australia in five or six years time it's only experience they need they'll be right up with

01:06:58.340 the top boys

01:07:05.700 since people are a nation's most precious resource

01:07:08.860 even when you've got oil it is necessary for Iran to capitalize on the

01:07:13.020 productive potential of her nomadic people

01:07:15.500 but whether it's appropriate to describe what's happening to them as

01:07:19.260 part of the civilizing process a phrase used even by some Iranian development

01:07:24.020 planners

01:07:24.540 is open to question

01:07:28.340 see so you see like the traditional outfit here like this is you know this is technically

01:07:37.220 considered hijab so you know like like the women's heads are covered but they're not wearing like

01:07:43.680 oppressive burqas right and again keep in mind the reason that everyone's heads are covered

01:07:48.720 is because it's like protection from the sun so i mean i guess technically she's wearing hijab

01:07:55.380 because she's covering her hair but it's not like the it's not islamic hijab it's not like that

01:08:02.660 just you know the black cloth and the burqa that like covers your face and erases your identity

01:08:09.640 you can see like the women are wearing like the traditional clothing of of their tribe and like

01:08:16.300 their you know the the region productive potential of her nomadic people but whether it's appropriate

01:08:22.900 to describe what's happening to them as part of the civilizing process a phrase used even by some

01:08:28.800 iranian development planners is open to question so like technically women women today in occupied

01:08:40.940 iran they're not allowed to walk around like this because this is this is not considered proper

01:08:45.940 hijab because you can see the shape of her body like it's it's very weird well not weird it's

01:08:51.100 just it's the durkas right that's that's who they are if you're from an advanced and industrialized

01:08:57.460 society it's yeah like this woman she's showing too much hair she's showing too much hair this

01:09:03.260 according to the islamic regime this is inappropriate she's showing too much hair um she probably

01:09:09.000 shouldn't even be riding a horse because her legs are showing like the outline of her legs are

01:09:13.920 showing uh that's haram according to the islamic regime the nomads of iran with their warmth and

01:09:19.340 their hospitality and their joy of the simple life, who cause you to question your own notions

01:09:24.620 of the term civilisation and what it means.

01:09:33.300 Iran will be the poorer if the values these people symbolise are sacrificed to the god

01:09:38.300 progress.

01:09:39.300 oh my gosh guys i know what this is guys this is the shah's peace corps okay so i'll tell you this

01:10:02.820 before they even explain it because i know exactly what this is so these are all women okay these

01:10:07.480 women from the urban areas, university educated and all of that, the Shah literally created

01:10:16.840 something called the Peace Corps. And it was basically like a division in the Iranian army

01:10:25.480 that was focused on fighting illiteracy and fighting poverty. And so basically the Shah

01:10:36.820 created this division, and he employed all these young Iranians, young, highly educated,

01:10:43.660 highly motivated Iranians, both men and women, as you can tell, women, okay? And he deployed them

01:10:50.980 all over the country to basically provide free health care, free education, and, you know,

01:10:58.920 whatever else that, you know, needed to happen in the rural areas. And it was all paid and funded

01:11:05.580 for by the Shah and his government. Okay. So this is the, this is his, uh, his Peace Corps.

01:11:12.180 I guarantee you that's what it is. I haven't watched the documentary, but let's see. Let's

01:11:17.340 see. So now, now we're going from like the rural areas to, um, to the urban parts.

01:11:23.360 if to some extent the nomads are disappearing the new wanderers along new trails are the

01:11:37.880 youngsters of the various service corps the shark created for the fight against poverty

01:11:42.000 i just said that he created the service corps he called them the peace corps

01:11:46.960 for the fight against poverty oh my gosh look at that look at that okay we need to watch

01:11:53.300 this again. This is so cool. I've never actually seen this footage, guys. I've never seen this

01:11:58.800 footage. If to some extent the nomads are disappearing, the new wanderers along new

01:12:13.180 trails are the youngsters of the various service corps the Shah created for the fight against

01:12:17.500 poverty in iran military service for two years is compulsory but each year thousands of young women

01:12:32.780 and young men too take up the option of serving their time in a development core

01:12:37.420 the literacy core and the health core are the main ones

01:12:39.820 i just said literacy corps and health corps right and basically they spent two years in a rural area

01:12:49.420 um to to you know like modernize and and develop

01:12:58.540 after five and a half months of military and other appropriate training core workers are assigned to

01:13:03.740 a rural area for 18 months where they may be on their own with strangers thus the need for training

01:13:09.100 in the finer arts of self-defense.

01:13:22.100 Since the Health Corps was established in 1964, it's estimated that its clinics in the

01:13:27.040 rural areas have received and treated patients who have made a total of 30 million visits.

01:13:35.540 At the Health Corps clinics, there's a registration fee of about seven pence a visit.

01:13:39.960 After that, everything is free.

01:13:47.440 At present, Iran needs an additional 21,000 doctors.

01:13:51.480 Without the Health Corps, the situation would be desperate.

01:13:58.740 Like all of the doctors in the Health Corps, Farooq Ghazimouti is a graduate of a medical

01:14:02.960 college so do you see the difference guys do you see the difference between like the the woman you

01:14:13.600 know the iranian woman from the urban areas and then the iranian women in the rural areas so you

01:14:18.920 know one looks very modern and you know she could fit right into like american western society and

01:14:24.600 then you have the rural villager who's kind of like wearing her hijab and whatever um it's it's

01:14:29.400 just it's just tradition right like in in the rural areas they were a little bit more traditional

01:14:33.280 but ultimately um Iranians had freedom of choice and as you can see like no one batted an eyelash

01:14:40.360 right like so it's not like someone judged like like no one judged the other for what they wore

01:14:47.580 it was it was all accepted because again like even her hijab it's not like the the Islamic

01:14:54.880 good job because it's you know it's got patterns and it's colorful whereas when you see all like

01:15:00.840 the durka videos they're literally wearing all black right it's all black because even like

01:15:07.320 wearing a pattern is considered haram right wearing a pattern is you know according to

01:15:13.900 their view is like it's too much in addition to their own knowledge and skills the doctor's

01:15:22.860 The biggest weapon in the fight against the diseases of poverty and infant mortality in

01:15:26.980 particular is the free milk and supplementary food which the government provides for over

01:15:31.860 seven million children.

01:15:42.480 Since many village women don't have enough breast milk because they have too many children

01:15:46.300 too quickly what would happen if the free milk was not available the death rate for babies would be

01:15:54.060 higher their resistance would be lower there would be more infections diarrhea and vomiting

01:15:59.980 they would get lung infections too there would be a lack of vitamins and they would drink

01:16:05.580 um so back in the day like someone's saying muslim women can only see female doctors

01:16:13.340 back in the day it wasn't that strict like a doctor is a doctor um and doctors like like

01:16:20.060 doctors don't follow under that that like don't fall under that rule um so like you you go see a

01:16:27.480 doctor it's fine it's only like the super like it's like the most extreme dirkas like i don't

01:16:32.120 know the taliban who are are like that but yeah in some islamic societies where they take it to

01:16:38.040 the extreme yeah i guess muslim women can only see muslim uh you know women doctors or something but

01:16:44.560 i mean with with the peace corps the way it was or like the health corps it's like if you know

01:16:49.500 in certain places if there was a guy that was there i mean the women would go see him

01:16:54.260 regardless because the doctor is a doctor to good water just as they used to do

01:16:58.960 so from what the doctor's been saying the supplementary milk is very very important in

01:17:05.140 lives of these babies very important but there isn't enough for all the children here because

01:17:12.740 this milk scheme is a new one perhaps in a couple of years time there will be sufficient for everybody

01:17:20.580 on the other hand family planning will be in operation

01:17:23.620 and so there will be fewer children so there will be more milk to go around

01:17:27.700 The dispensaries at most Health Corps clinics are well stocked, but it's the free milk which

01:17:36.220 mothers demand more and more. Most of the milk has to be imported, so it's a huge drain on

01:17:41.680 Iran's foreign exchange. The provision of it for seven million children at vast expense

01:17:46.720 is therefore proof of the government's determination to improve the lives of the poorest.

01:17:51.340 Dr. Ghazimuthi is responsible for three villages where the subject of family planning is a

01:18:00.880 priority. The doctor knows that it's the high rate of infant mortality caused by malnutrition which

01:18:10.860 triggers the population explosion. So she concentrates her efforts on teaching mothers

01:18:15.480 how to improve the diet of their children to reduce the rate of infant mortality.

01:18:25.620 In 12 years, Health Corps workers have played a significant role in helping to wipe out

01:18:30.040 the extremes of malnutrition and related diseases. Now they can turn with more chance of success

01:18:40.040 to the job of persuading parents to practice family planning how long does it take for the

01:18:45.480 doctor to persuade a young mother like this to have birth control she needs to come here five

01:18:51.540 or six times then she comes with her husband then she asks her mother-in-law for permission

01:18:56.360 it all takes about three or four months so often the real problem isn't see like this is how the

01:19:02.760 shah was trying to modernize rural areas right like he basically had people out there teaching

01:19:09.360 the rural villagers about birth control and um the benefits of birth control right like that's how

01:19:17.280 you know that's how much he was trying to modernize society it is not the young mother or even the

01:19:23.280 husband it is the mother-in-law is that this doctor's experience yes the young people are

01:19:28.000 more easily persuaded but the mother-in-law is a little backwards mothers-in-law like there to be

01:19:33.040 more children do you know why it is that these people want more children i saw a woman yesterday

01:19:38.480 who was crying she said she had one son and four daughters and said when they yeah they're they're

01:19:44.160 speaking they're speaking farsi they're speaking persian grow up my son will marry i i i understand

01:19:49.600 i can understand what they're saying and leave us who will provide for us my husband is dead too

01:19:56.560 if i had another son how easy things would be because he would provide for us now when i have

01:20:01.600 only one son and he goes off what can i do by myself with four daughters there is no life

01:20:07.200 insurance for people here. Dr. Ghazimouti and many thousands like her in Iran is working to

01:20:15.660 provide that life insurance by fighting poverty. Mrs. Pallisban is the lady governor of Moshad

01:20:23.380 province in the northeastern corner of Iran. Lady governor. Guys, Iranian woman politician

01:20:35.140 right here, right? The Shah, literally, like, this is the reason why the Muslim Nazis and the

01:20:46.140 Durkhas and the Jihadis were so triggered by the Shah. And this is the reason why they called him

01:20:52.720 a dictator, because the Shah did not respect their, you know, respect their religious views

01:20:58.460 that women should only be in a hijab and stay in the kitchen. Instead, the Shah was literally

01:21:05.640 empowering women by not only giving them the right to vote in 1963, but he had them appointed

01:21:11.560 in high-level government positions, and they were tasked with helping to modernize and build the

01:21:19.200 country, right? What sort of dictator does that? The Shah is literally the worst dictator in the

01:21:27.800 history of civilization he was the exact opposite of a dictator she's touring a village damaged by a

01:21:35.800 flood the role being played by women in a country of muslim faith with its traditions of male

01:21:47.880 domination and superiority is in itself more proof of how deeply the shah's reform program

01:21:53.400 has taken root boom i just said that i guys listen to that part i just said that listen he just talks

01:22:03.040 about the fact that like the country had deep muslim roots but the fact that the shah is

01:22:08.640 appointing women in positions of authority and leadership goes to the extent of the shah

01:22:16.000 reforming and modernizing the country to try and break away from that islamic durka jihadi mindset

01:22:24.460 people here

01:22:25.960 watch this part again dr gazimuti and many thousands like her in iran is working to

01:22:33.100 provide that life insurance by fighting poverty mrs palisban is the lady governor of moshad

01:22:40.820 province in the northeastern corner of iran she's touring a village damaged by a flood

01:22:45.740 The role being played by women in a country of Muslim faith with its traditions of male

01:22:57.500 domination and superiority is in itself more proof of how deeply the Shah's reform program

01:23:03.240 has taken root.

01:23:09.860 The significance of Mrs. Palisban's appointment is that Mashhad is Iran's holy city, the last

01:23:15.540 place in the country where you'd expect the first lady governor to be appointed

01:23:19.060 guys i guarantee you the shah did that on purpose he purposely chose a woman governor

01:23:30.080 in the province mashad which has the holiest city right om om is full of all the like the

01:23:39.640 the Durkhas, right? He purposely picked a woman because he was sending a message to the clerics

01:23:47.060 that, you know, Islam can't control Iran anymore.

01:23:57.480 Fortunately, from the point of view of legislation, I believe that we now enjoy full equality.

01:24:03.700 Wait, have there been more missiles launched by the Islamic regime? Okay, let me just pull up

01:24:09.320 wow okay so yeah let's let's take a quick uh intermission um oh my god guys honestly like

01:24:26.900 the islamic regime they can't even allow me like one night to watch like a documentary

01:24:32.320 literally this is like another reason why the islamic regime just needs to go like they just

01:24:41.180 need to go they they can't even like give us one night to watch a documentary about iran

01:24:45.900 they're they're they're pure garbage they're pure garbage okay let's see what's going on um wow okay

01:26:40.840 okay this one this one has audio

01:26:47.640 wow okay so that's bahrain um let me see if i can find anything for kuwait

01:27:10.840 okay this is some footage from kuwait apparently the sounds of explosions are the interception of

01:27:22.720 of the missiles.

01:27:44.900 Wow.

01:27:52.720 Okay. So there you go. That's the latest breaking news. Missiles.

01:28:01.120 I mean, how much longer, how much longer is this going to happen? Like how much longer is

01:28:11.040 I don't know, President Trump going to tolerate this? Like the Islamic regime is literally just

01:28:18.860 launching missiles at Bahrain and Kuwait. How is this in any way, shape or form? I don't know.

01:28:30.080 Guys, this is why you cannot negotiate with terrorists. It's why you cannot negotiate with

01:28:34.980 terrorists. You have to exterminate them. The Islamic regime is a cancer. And the only way

01:28:42.260 that you can cure cancer is by getting rid of all the cancer cells. If you leave even one cancer

01:28:48.360 cell, the cancer will come back and it will be even more aggressive than what it was before.

01:28:56.520 You literally have to get rid of every single cancer cell to cure cancer. The Islamic regime

01:29:02.620 is the exact same way. If you want to get rid of the problem, you have to get rid of the Islamic

01:29:07.820 regime. Jesus, wild. All right, let's go back. The anything.

01:29:18.360 let me go back a little bit um i'll be watching i'm just gonna take a quick health break and i'll

01:29:22.920 be right back by fighting poverty mrs palisban is the lady governor of moshad province in the

01:29:31.800 northeastern corner of iran she's touring a village damaged by a flood the role being played by women

01:29:45.000 in a country of muslim faith with its traditions of male domination and superiority is in itself

01:29:50.520 more proof of how deeply the shah's reform program has taken root the significance of

01:30:01.000 mrs palisban's appointment is that mashad is iran's holy city the last place in the

01:30:06.360 country where you'd expect the first lady governor to be appointed

01:30:15.000 Fortunately, from the point of view of legislation, I believe that we now enjoy full equality.

01:30:25.000 The only thing that I consider of great importance is the raising of the level of women's education in all spheres,

01:30:32.000 and particularly among village women and women workers,

01:30:35.000 so that they can get to understand their position and benefit from their equality.

01:30:45.000 in some of the poorest parts of the country the education of the village women the mums

01:30:53.960 is already underway guys so this this is one of the schools that was built by the shah right so

01:31:01.480 this is a government school built by the shah in rural areas to educate rural women and children

01:31:11.220 okay because these were all people especially the women the women were illiterate the shah

01:31:18.780 literally built schools to um combat illiteracy and to help the women in these rural areas

01:31:30.400 learn how to read and write even adult women right not just children

01:31:36.600 He was also combating

01:31:40.040 adult literacy.

01:31:46.660 But such things can happen

01:31:48.580 only when the mullahs, the religious

01:31:50.380 leaders, consent, and many of them

01:31:52.540 are still uncertain about the wisdom

01:31:54.360 of this much progress.

01:31:56.140 Oh, did you catch that?

01:31:58.040 Guys, this is 1977.

01:32:00.580 So,

01:32:01.880 the women, the women in these

01:32:04.280 rural areas...

01:32:06.600 were only allowed to go to school and learn how to read and write

01:32:12.220 if the Durkhas, if the Mullah Durkhas, allowed them to do so.

01:32:19.340 This is what the Shah was fighting.

01:32:21.920 The Shah was literally fighting the Durkhas.

01:32:28.360 Unbelievable, unbelievable to me.

01:32:31.980 the Shah was fighting illiteracy

01:32:36.760 the Shah wanted to educate Iranian women

01:32:41.540 the Shah wanted to teach them how to read and write

01:32:44.980 the Muslim clerics

01:32:47.740 weren't sure if

01:32:50.180 they weren't sure if women

01:32:53.340 women should have the right to read and write

01:32:57.380 because too much progress might not be a good thing

01:33:00.120 and yet somehow

01:33:01.520 people call the shah a dictator do you see the historical revisionism like this is what

01:33:07.640 makes my blood boil whenever someone says oh the shah was a dictator really are you kidding me

01:33:16.960 like just listen to this listen to what he said but such things can happen only when the mullahs

01:33:26.280 the religious leaders consent and many of them are still uncertain about the wisdom of this

01:33:31.340 much progress the actual progress in the emancipation of women in iran is even more

01:33:39.380 remarkable than it may seem because opposition to it by religious fanatics still manifests itself

01:33:45.480 in the promotion of terrorism in alliance with communist groups

01:33:49.120 Even before the 1979 Islamic Revolution

01:33:58.880 The Islamic, the Muslim terrorists

01:34:01.640 Were working with the communist terrorists

01:34:05.700 Because they didn't like the Shah

01:34:11.480 Progressing the country forward

01:34:13.480 On the site of what used to be Tehran's biggest slum, a huge modern school complex for 5,000

01:34:26.960 former slumland children. If governments have the political will and the economic resources,

01:34:39.760 it's easy to provide well-equipped schools, universities, hospitals, and so on.

01:34:45.880 Look at this.

01:34:48.020 Does this look like a dictatorship to you?

01:34:50.800 The Shah is literally building schools for children.

01:34:56.220 And the Muslim religious clerics didn't like that.

01:35:01.640 On city folk, and the children in particular,

01:35:04.080 no expense is spared to provide the most modern and up-to-date facilities.

01:35:09.760 The face of the cities and the future prospects for Iran's urban children

01:35:15.140 have been changed beyond recognition in 14 years.

01:35:31.160 But the less obvious success stories are sometimes the most dramatic,

01:35:34.980 as the story of education in Iran shows.

01:35:39.760 In a place where there's people, however remote, there's usually a school.

01:35:54.200 There's hardly a road or trackway through fields and mountains and desert where, at

01:35:58.080 certain times of the day, you can't see children on the move to and from school.

01:36:07.560 In 12 years, the number of children attending school has nearly quadrupled.

01:36:11.880 Wow.

01:36:13.440 Guys, the number of children attending schools quadrupled in 12 years.

01:36:19.400 I don't know what country has that sort of stats.

01:36:23.780 And I'm saying that as a former politician who was in government,

01:36:28.380 who was working on the education file and the healthcare file and all these files.

01:36:33.960 I've seen the stats.

01:36:35.080 I've seen the figures.

01:36:35.940 it is like it it blows my mind it is unheard of unheard guys no modern country today could do that

01:36:48.200 could have those kinds of stats but that's what the shot was he did it in 12 12 years guys

01:36:55.800 they're they're the the school board the school board in my former district that i used to

01:37:03.380 represent was such garbage. It took them seven years to build one high school. I secured the

01:37:12.200 funding for them within six months of getting elected. It took them seven years to build one

01:37:20.500 high school that's that's the insane part about this like

01:37:28.180 the shock quadrupled the number of kids going to school in 12 years

01:37:36.940 illiteracy has been reduced from 85 to nearly 50 percent which just goes to emphasize how

01:37:47.660 backward Iran was in every village even the poorest the first demand is for a

01:37:57.860 school this is one of over 11,000 schools or classes where the teachers

01:38:09.560 are provided by the Education Corps remember the Education Corps is part of

01:38:16.160 the um the iranian military right the shah created uh the peace corps which was like comprised

01:38:23.280 mainly of education and health care to combat illiteracy and poverty

01:38:35.040 why such a great thirst for education the shah's revolution has succeeded in making the people of

01:38:41.440 Iran aware of their needs and their rights. Even the poor have realized for themselves

01:38:47.080 that education is not an end in itself, but a means to development and a better life.

01:39:04.340 And so to the most remarkable of all of Iran's achievements in the field of education.

01:39:09.200 the tribal schools

01:39:21.860 okay i know what he's gonna explain here so guys so the tribal schools

01:39:32.540 That was basically the Shah's solution to a problem that he had because, you know, there were still a lot of like nomads who traveled around.

01:39:43.840 OK, that was basically their lifestyle and their children obviously traveled with them.

01:39:51.120 If the children are living a nomadic lifestyle where they're constantly on the move, they can't really attend a schoolhouse.

01:39:58.840 And so the Shah decided that instead of, you know, building like, I don't know, like a residential school or something or a boarding school and forcing all the children to leave their families and go there, what the Shah did instead is he instead took the classroom to them.

01:40:20.540 So he basically created these mobile schools and each like rural nomadic tribe had like a mobile school and, you know, there would they would be assigned a teacher.

01:40:35.600 And so that teacher would basically go live with the rural nomads and basically go, you know, travel around with them as they were traveling around and he would educate the children.

01:40:48.980 right so it was like a rural mobile school that's why like the classroom is outdoors because

01:40:56.580 it's basically like like these are people who are constantly traveling and constantly on the go

01:41:03.780 so the Shah basically created like a mobile school this was back in the 70s and so this way

01:41:10.640 the Shah was able to counter that problem of you know because he didn't want to force

01:41:16.540 the children to leave their families,

01:41:19.260 but he still wanted them to be educated.

01:41:31.260 Oh, he just said,

01:41:32.540 that means the country of America.

01:41:36.220 Guys, he's literally teaching them about America,

01:41:41.780 but in a positive way, right?

01:41:43.560 Like, he's basically teaching them about, like, you know, there's this country called America, right?

01:41:49.780 Not in, like, a great saying or whatever.

01:41:53.420 Guys, this is, like, back in the day when Iran was a normal country, right?

01:41:56.680 But look at that.

01:41:57.280 I just heard that.

01:41:57.860 He said, Kishvara Omriko, which means the country of America.

01:42:02.320 He's literally teaching them about the United States.

01:42:13.560 what's so remarkable about these tribal schools simply this in all national examinations throughout

01:42:22.100 iran up to and including university levels it's the nomad children from these schools who

01:42:27.820 consistently obtain the best results and the greatest number of distinctions what oh my gosh

01:42:35.140 did you guys catch that guys these children these children in these rural nomad schools

01:42:43.020 they scored higher on like the national exams like think of like the um like the sats or whatever

01:42:51.300 these kids these kids who were educated in these rural mobile schools

01:42:56.520 scored higher than even the children who were educated in the cities oh my gosh

01:43:05.060 What's so remarkable about these tribal schools? Simply this. In all national examinations

01:43:17.180 throughout Iran, up to and including university levels, it's the nomad children from these

01:43:22.600 schools who consistently obtain the best results and the greatest number of distinctions.

01:43:35.060 Oh, that's so cute. Guys, he's teaching them how to spell the country of America. So she's all

01:43:44.180 excited. She's like, Kishtar, America, which Kishtar means country. And then the E at the

01:43:52.340 end is like of, and then America. So she's just like, Kishtar, America. Guys, so this is back

01:44:00.580 when you know iran was a normal country and iran was an ally of the united states so the reason

01:44:07.220 that these children are learning about the united states is because the united states was

01:44:13.580 one of iran's biggest allies i mean up until jimmy carter and you know the democrats but

01:44:19.540 that's a whole other issue but uh yeah oh my gosh we need to watch that again he's he's teaching

01:44:25.320 them how to spell kishwara america

01:44:34.120 what's so remarkable about these tribal schools

01:44:37.000 simply this in all national examinations throughout iran

01:44:40.920 up to and including university levels it's the nomad children from these

01:44:45.240 schools who consistently obtain the best results

01:44:48.200 and the greatest number of distinctions part of the explanation for their high level of academic

01:45:00.680 achievement it said is the fact that nomad children have pure or virgin minds minds unspoiled and

01:45:07.400 uncluttered by the values and prejudices of materialistic and permissive societies

01:45:18.200 When the tribes move, the tent schools move with them.

01:45:30.260 That's our Shah!

01:45:32.140 That's our Shah!

01:45:34.160 This is...

01:45:34.840 Guys, this is the Shah.

01:45:36.780 He is the reason why all of these young schoolchildren are getting educated.

01:45:43.580 Our glorious Shah, Javid Shah.

01:45:48.200 Most of the tribal schools around the country are to be found in remote desert and mountain

01:45:54.920 regions.

01:45:57.920 So, Soapbox is asking, current Iran is a co-educational or it's segregated by sex because Islam does

01:46:10.540 not allow women and men to, you know, Islam does not allow girls and boys to be educated

01:46:16.780 together.

01:46:17.780 un-Islamic it's un-Islamic but I think I think even back in the day like there were I think

01:46:25.280 even like before um 1979 there were um a lot of like just girls only and and you know boys only

01:46:33.400 schools um not because that's what the Shah wanted but because the Shah was fighting Islam right

01:46:38.780 um so yeah I like he was he was working towards like kind of co-ed but it didn't quite get there

01:46:47.360 yet because he like look he was he was fighting the the durkas remember we just saw um about you

01:46:54.280 know a few minutes ago um the muslim clerics were not happy that the shah was teaching women

01:47:01.760 um you know women farmers how to read and write so it's baby steps right

01:47:07.400 the students in the tent schools insist on keeping long hours often they study from sun up to sun

01:47:15.960 down there's a tribal school song the blackboard is my rifle the words say the

01:47:25.680 chalk my bullet the message of the song is well understood by parents without

01:47:33.960 education of their own the teachers in the tent schools are from the tribes the

01:47:50.460 whole concept of tribal schools was invented by nomads for nomads it's a

01:47:56.740 response to the fact that urban or city people politicians and civil servants

01:48:01.080 are unable, and sometimes unwilling, to solve the development problems of rural folk.

01:48:11.440 What thoughts must now be in the minds of those being freed from the chains of ignorance and poverty?

01:48:26.020 After five years in the tent schools, the nomad children move on to a secondary school,

01:48:30.540 modern but still tribal my tribal people have been forgotten and left out of everything for

01:48:37.260 so long now they deserve everything we can give them the feelings of the creator of the tribal

01:48:43.620 system dr bahman becky bahman becky is a unique guys that chemistry lab looks better than like

01:48:57.220 the chem lab that i had in high school and this is like a rural nomad chemistry lab oh my gosh

01:49:03.780 do you see how much the shah was investing in iran before the muslim nazis took over and turned our

01:49:12.120 country into a seventh century islamic hellhole governed by sharia law wow delightful man he

01:49:20.440 performs with the sublime confidence of one who believes he is the true repository of the wisdom

01:49:25.320 of the ages do you know english yes what is the capital of england london what is the capital of

01:49:35.320 iceland reykjavik what is the capital of cyprus what is the capital of switzerland

01:49:42.520 what is the capital of egypt another reason i don't even know the capital of cyprus wow

01:49:51.080 wow these kids are so smart for the high level of academic successes gained by the nomad children

01:50:01.280 is their spirit their enthusiasm they want to learn about everything

01:50:05.780 children we are going to find out the chemical qualities of the substance does the molecular

01:50:18.260 structure change or not to find this out we make a solution of salt and water guys i feel like i

01:50:24.700 feel like we need like a like a guest appearance from like rose gamma ray to like break this down

01:50:30.940 and explain this to us so oh my gosh oh my gosh i should i should send this to like i should send

01:50:38.120 this to my sister and have her like share this clip and like break it down and explain what's

01:50:42.980 going on because now we're getting into like all the sciencey stuff oh my gosh what guys i'm i'm

01:50:49.580 blown away like i've never seen this footage before like i'm totally speechless right now

01:50:55.340 gained by the nomad children is their spirit their enthusiasm they want to learn about everything

01:51:02.120 children we are going to find out the chemical qualities of a substance

01:51:12.980 Does the molecular structure change or not?

01:51:15.980 To find this out, we make a solution of salt and water.

01:51:23.980 We put salt in water and stir it.

01:51:27.980 Then the salt molecules mix with the water molecules

01:51:31.980 and the salt is dissolved.

01:51:34.980 If we taste it, the taste is salty.

01:51:53.940 Guys, I, I, like, these kids look like they're 10, 11, or 12.

01:51:58.720 I didn't even like step inside a chemistry lab until like I don't know my junior year of high

01:52:04.880 school but like these kids are like what 10 and they're like doing all this like science-y stuff

01:52:12.620 and like like even even like the girls oh my gosh like this is what the shaw was doing

01:52:20.760 and oh my gosh it's cursing Texas I just noticed your comment you're right guys they're teaching

01:52:28.340 the kids how to write english in cursive they don't even do that anymore they don't do they

01:52:35.300 don't even do that anymore and like in schools in canada like no one teaches cursive anymore

01:52:40.740 in in iran in the 1970s the shah of iran wanted children to learn english and to learn cursing

01:52:51.700 that little nomad girl has better handwriting than me

01:53:00.500 guys this is this is what like the muslim nazis who occupied iran in 1979

01:53:09.380 right this is what they said was destroying iran like they consider this corruption

01:53:15.600 oh my gosh they're writing in cursive the little nomad girl in her like traditional

01:53:23.620 traditional dress like her libas mahalli she's writing in cursive and doing science experiments

01:53:29.100 after just two months of learning english at the secondary school many of these nomad children are

01:53:36.160 more proficient at writing the language than are lots of english children after some years of

01:53:40.720 practice students the students they are in the garden the girls obviously harder they

01:54:03.520 Wait guys look at this tie oh my gosh I'm gonna say something in Persian

01:54:14.440 Guys look at that huge 70s tie like it's so big

01:54:21.600 I've heard say that something like eight out of ten of your tribal children actually go to university. Is that true?

01:54:34.600 It's wrong sir. Nine out of ten.

01:54:38.600 And that school, that high school of ours, I should boast a little bit and say that it's a source of the pride of our country

01:54:47.600 where we take the very low-income children of the family people who were

01:54:56.540 the poorest numbers who is the vegetar man talented they bring them here and

01:55:01.760 that's the democratization of the education probably in very few places of

01:55:06.140 the world west or east you can find a system which takes care so much of the

01:55:15.140 low-income families of the country we bring them from those families and they go right into the

01:55:21.860 highest universities of the country and that is that high school you already have seen

01:55:29.620 and as i told you last year for example we had 52 just uh graduates from the high school

01:55:36.420 out of this 52 50 went straight to the university and nine of them to the

01:55:43.420 medical faculty of the part of the university which is the best

01:55:46.800 university the best university of the country that university accepted 85 and

01:55:54.180 just graduates from all over the country nine of them from the tribal school one

01:55:58.320 school in 14 years the number of students receiving higher education

01:56:06.060 throughout iran has increased by seven times from 24 000 to nearly 170 000.

01:56:15.100 14 years ago there were only nine universities in iran today there are 70 universities colleges

01:56:21.020 and centers of high whoa the the shah built oh my gosh the shah built 56 universities wait what did

01:56:30.540 he say was it did he say 9 or 14 wait what did he say this 52 50 went straight

01:56:40.060 iran today there are 70

01:56:44.380 from 24 000 to nearly 170 000.

01:56:50.460 14 years ago there were only nine universities nine nine guys in 14 years the shop built 61

01:57:00.300 universities colleges and training centers oh my gosh in iran today there are 70 universities

01:57:07.580 colleges and centers of higher education most significant of all the number of peasant and

01:57:17.420 working class children with access to university and higher education has jumped from eight to

01:57:22.700 40% of the total. In other and less obvious ways, education is being put to

01:57:29.000 work to change the lives of those still poor.

01:57:36.020 Nezhat Naziri is a village health worker. Her job is to use education as a weapon

01:57:42.120 to fight ignorance, the root cause of poverty, at the village level. Her task,

01:57:46.460 in short, is to make education relevant to the basic needs of the poorest peasants.

01:57:52.700 I told you before, I mean about the cows. I told you to make a fence for them.

01:57:57.400 How can I? I have no fencing materials.

01:58:00.480 Having no fencing materials is no excuse.

01:58:03.380 I told you last time about the dirt in the yard.

01:58:06.060 I also told you about the dirtiness of your toilet.

01:58:09.080 We are in hardship here. What can I do?

01:58:12.140 As you know, this house is very cramped.

01:58:22.700 Come over here, look at your toilet.

01:58:25.360 I told you about it before, didn't I?

01:58:28.300 I'm really ashamed in front of you.

01:58:30.140 Never mind, never mind.

01:58:32.000 Get your husband to make some mud bricks.

01:58:34.580 When they are made, he can build it up in one day,

01:58:36.880 just as he did for the other room over there.

01:58:39.140 You did that job because you had to.

01:58:41.360 You must make yourself do this one too.

01:58:44.200 If you want to be fit and well in this yard,

01:58:46.160 not be ill all the time,

01:58:47.640 you must see to this business of the cows.

01:58:49.640 If God helps us and we can afford it, we will do it no matter how hard it is, but we need

01:58:58.160 space.

01:58:59.160 If we had the space, I would go and do as you say, no matter what hard work was necessary,

01:59:04.400 I would go and make a place for the animals.

01:59:06.920 I swear to God that this village is in want.

01:59:09.980 We can't afford things.

01:59:11.980 We have no space.

01:59:14.040 We have to live with the animals.

01:59:17.440 practice the village health workers job is to make peasant folk understand that

01:59:21.100 effects have causes that sickness and disease is a consequence of squalor and

01:59:25.300 that improved nutrition can prevent much illness what do you give the baby

01:59:31.420 besides cow's milk the same food as we eat don't you give it the yolk of eggs

01:59:35.500 or something like that I used to but not now why not I don't give it now go on

01:59:41.440 giving it it's very good for it in every way yeah so so this woman she's basically

01:59:46.660 going to like the poorest guys so remember these are the poorest of the poor these are people who

01:59:54.140 for the longest time were basically serfs right they were the slaves of the um feudal landlords

02:00:02.800 and they were slaves of the the islamic clerics right so um they've lived in these terrible

02:00:11.140 conditions for generations because the people who owned them did not want them to be wealthy

02:00:20.840 or live in good conditions. They wanted their, you know, villagers, they wanted their slaves to be

02:00:29.280 poor and live in squalid conditions so that they're always in a place of servitude to their

02:00:37.320 owners. So when the Shah got rid of the feudal system, one of his biggest challenges was now

02:00:45.680 working with these people and helping to educate them about proper health and, you know, proper

02:00:55.120 sanitary stuff and proper education and all that stuff, right? That's why the Shah is sending,

02:01:01.820 um, you know, that person there because she's there to work with them, to teach them slowly

02:01:08.940 and help bring them out of poverty. Right. So like, that's, that's basically why that woman

02:01:20.020 is there because this is basically like, these are people who for generations were basically

02:01:25.780 just like the slaves. Guys, remember, up until 1920s, a big part of Iran was worse than medieval

02:01:35.580 Europe because that system of feudalism still existed. And that's what the Muslim clerics

02:01:44.780 wanted. They wanted that feudal system because that kept the Muslim clerics in control and in

02:01:52.120 power and this is the shop basically trying to educate people if you get into the habit of putting

02:01:59.560 a teaspoon full of yolk in its morning milk it will do it a great deal of good egg is very good

02:02:04.840 for it especially for its motions you must go on giving it in general is your baby fitter now than

02:02:10.440 it was before yes it's better now why because it's well fed in two years the infant mortality rate

02:02:19.560 in 57 villages served by this scheme has been halved if only to compare the stories of the

02:02:25.560 old folk with the young to appreciate the changes in even the poorest villages of iran

02:02:32.120 about how old is this this lady here this one

02:02:40.360 and how many children has she had

02:02:41.960 nine births nine births nine births and how many of those children have lived in chanter

02:02:52.200 shannon than that three of them so six died six of them died at what ages did they die and what did

02:03:04.200 they die of does she know but you can still live more than that she more than

02:03:09.060 well one year three years four years and a lot of other sicknesses that she

02:03:22.140 cannot name it so this is the new generation now this lady has how many

02:03:26.820 children? Two. Two. And both are well? Yes. And how many more children is she going to

02:03:39.060 have? None. She's a bit shy. Yes. She doesn't want any more? Why not? No more. I cannot

02:03:52.660 care for them this two is enough yeah and and this village health worker has

02:03:57.820 motivated her has she has she been persuading and not to have more children

02:04:01.060 yes we taught her to use the pills for family planning she knows how to use

02:04:14.020 contraceptives from every point of view she can look after her children better

02:04:17.800 if she has two than she could if she had five if she had five children she would

02:04:22.060 have to buy five pairs of shoes and five shirts if she only had two she only has

02:04:26.560 to buy two pairs not all of the illnesses of village folk can be dealt

02:04:38.320 with by a village health worker with five years secondary education and six

02:04:42.040 months training in the basic principles of community health but the low-level

02:04:49.780 level village health workers as they're called are trained to know when a problem is too big for them

02:04:57.700 then as in this case they'll refer the patient upwards to a middle level village health worker

02:05:10.820 yeah guys the fly thing is weird like that that's not that's not how iranians are anymore but look

02:05:17.300 I mean, like, yeah, like, I'm assuming, I guess, like, rural, like, the very, very poor, like, rural people, right?

02:05:28.060 I guess it was just, like, one of the daily realities of life, but that's not how it is anymore.

02:05:34.580 um i mean but like you guys can obviously like i mean you can you can easily see the difference

02:05:41.500 between the health care like the social worker and like the the poorest of the poor right so

02:05:48.020 guys you're you're seeing the extremes here like you're seeing the extreme you're seeing um the

02:05:54.580 you know the the social worker uh who's from like the urban parts um who's employed by the shah

02:06:02.280 who's there in like one of the poorest of the poor rural areas to combat poverty and illiteracy, right?

02:06:12.900 So what you're seeing here is literally the reason why the Shah of Iran created a Peace Corps within his military, right?

02:06:26.880 And then he had the health division and the education division, because this is how he was fighting poverty and illiteracy.

02:06:35.900 Because the way that these people are living, this is the result of Islam.

02:06:42.840 This is a result of the Muslim clerics who have been ruling over them for centuries, wanting them to be poor, wanting them to be illiterate,

02:06:51.900 Wanting them to live in terrible conditions and wanting them to only learn about the Koran.

02:06:59.820 And that's it, right?

02:07:02.500 The Shah is slowly teaching them how to come out of subservience and how to become their own people.

02:07:10.640 And the Muslim clerics didn't like that.

02:07:21.900 The village health worker is also responsible for educating the village schoolchildren about

02:07:26.580 all matters relating to health and hygiene.

02:07:34.000 Today it's a lecture on piped water and how to use it to prevent the spread of germs and

02:07:38.360 diseases.

02:07:39.360 The whole emphasis is on prevention, not cure.

02:07:52.280 What's illustrated here is that the education needs of the poor in all developing countries

02:07:57.040 are much more basic than people in advanced societies ever realise.

02:08:02.880 Villagers and not just children have to be told repeatedly why they must wash their hands

02:08:07.600 after going to the toilet and so on so guys that what you see there like that sink and like that

02:08:23.640 that you know drain or whatever that was also built by the shah like that was also built by

02:08:29.200 the shah's um team the shop brought running water clean running water to all these villages

02:08:36.720 The real success the project organizers are looking for is in ten years' time when today's

02:08:41.980 children are parents, so progress made now is a bonus.

02:08:51.800 I like this work in every way.

02:08:54.040 I accepted the job so as to be able to help my fellow countrymen.

02:08:58.060 I took a six-month course and I learned a lot about how things are done.

02:09:05.480 Like, look, she's teaching them how to wash their hands properly.

02:09:09.940 I got myself trained. I can now instruct other people.

02:09:13.560 For example, about how to care for babies, both as regards feeding them and as regards cleanliness and hygiene.

02:09:20.820 I look after my own baby myself now with these points in mind.

02:09:24.780 So I should very much like others to do the same as I do.

02:09:27.480 Really I would even do this work without pay because I believe in it completely.

02:09:41.480 Must one work only for money?

02:09:47.480 Nasat Naziri's tiny mud-walled clinic was built and furnished by the villagers.

02:09:52.480 It cost them roughly a pound a head which for them is a lot.

02:09:57.480 The villagers willingness to contribute in this way towards a solution to their own problems

02:10:04.760 was the condition on which they were assigned a village health worker.

02:10:13.100 Such a condition is enforced in all 57 villages in this scheme because one main objective

02:10:18.140 is to encourage the villagers to help themselves.

02:10:24.800 Being in charge at the clinic building also helps to give authority and prestige to the

02:10:29.040 village health worker.

02:10:32.100 And they do need that.

02:10:34.660 This is all filth.

02:10:37.760 He gets rashes because of this filth.

02:10:40.120 No, no, madam.

02:10:42.260 Sometimes he gets very itchy.

02:10:45.320 Are there someone who's back as well?

02:10:49.040 Yes.

02:10:50.360 Sometimes he gets very itchy, very uncomfortable.

02:10:52.920 gets like this. Let me see his back. It's better now. Is that all? Are there any on

02:11:05.680 his head? His head is much better too. We have had to spend so much already. His poor

02:11:11.340 father. Don't wrap him up in so much clothing. Well, he's cold. It's all these clothes that

02:11:20.360 cause the rashes no air is getting to his body if air reaches him the rash

02:11:25.160 won't appear you should wash him too look at his face you see you see the

02:11:38.860 back of his head is better yes look sister do you see what has happened to

02:11:45.080 him here you've wrapped him in three layers of cloth you should put less on

02:11:49.160 If you put less on his head, air will get below his chin and onto his body.

02:11:58.700 No rash will appear.

02:12:06.820 It has to be said that village health workers achieve most success in communities which

02:12:11.120 are not absolutely poor.

02:12:18.620 permanent progress much depends on whether families can be persuaded to build new houses

02:12:23.420 outside the walls of the old mud villages. Okay guys we're gonna stop there. We'll have to save

02:12:30.940 the rest for part four because it is getting a little bit late and I do want to get a little

02:12:38.980 bit of sleep because we also have more things happening tomorrow. Before I go to I see there's

02:12:45.880 some super chats, and I'll get to them momentarily. Just a quick update. So CENTCOM posted,

02:12:54.480 forces defeat missiles, drones launched by Iran. I mean, they mean the IRGC, but

02:13:00.720 US forces intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones launched by Iran towards the

02:13:07.740 Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf neighbors on June 5. Iran fired several ballistic missiles

02:13:13.940 toward Kuwait and Bahrain hours after CENTCOM shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones

02:13:21.620 that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz.

02:13:24.340 The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic.

02:13:29.260 U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Gorouk and on

02:13:36.400 Qishm Island to defend against further maritime attacks.

02:13:39.800 Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target

02:13:48.140 There are currently no reports of harm to U.S. personnel and Iranian claims of damaging U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false

02:13:56.600 CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and posture to continue responding to unwarranted Iranian aggression and self-defense

02:14:03.680 All right, here we go. Here's some footage of boom-booms

02:14:06.100 no audio wow look at that

02:14:13.560 wow good job centcom we we want to see more of this we want to see more of this centcom give us

02:14:32.180 just get rid of them all boom boom them all to hell where they belong

02:14:35.820 okay there you go so that's the latest update from

02:14:39.940 centcom

02:14:41.240 okay so let me go to um your super chats and then we are going to call it a night

02:14:50.100 um yeah so uh rostine saint sam uh sent a sticker thank you so much

02:14:57.980 Demonic sent a heart. Thank you. I hope that you appreciate the, the, um, appreciated the

02:15:04.740 documentary pushups. You feel seen. Yeah. Pushups. I know you were requesting another documentary,

02:15:09.540 documentary watch party. So there you go. I hope that you, um, enjoyed it. And, uh, I did

02:15:16.320 appreciate your sarcastic comments. Um, I know a lot of people don't get your sense of humor,

02:15:21.300 but I do. And I thought it was hilarious. Um, fleshy interloper, stay calm and drink tea. Oh

02:15:27.140 he's referring to the tea commercial. Yeah, that's pretty much what it is. Wow, she is pretty,

02:15:34.620 the woman singing, the one in the tea commercial. Yeah, she was gorgeous. Thompson, what area is

02:15:39.800 your family from? This sounds like the cowboy area you spoke of where the flyer went down.

02:15:46.920 So the people in the documentary were from a different part, but I'm from the southwestern

02:15:53.240 part, um, of Iran. These people were more like, they're more in the North, I think. And, but

02:15:58.020 no, the, the place that you were thinking of that's Sistan and Baruchistan, that's like the

02:16:02.340 South, Southeastern part, a different part. Um, pushups asks, did infant mortality skyrocket

02:16:10.600 when IRGC took over? So initially when the Islamic Qudita happened, yeah, infant, infant

02:16:16.960 mortality skyrocketed. But now things have gotten better. And, you know, a lot of like a lot of the

02:16:24.240 Durkhas and the jihadis, they'll be like, oh, look, conditions have improved under the Islamic regime.

02:16:28.780 No, the reason that conditions have improved right now is because of the trajectory that the Shah put

02:16:37.680 the people of Iran on back in the 1960s and 70s. So the reason that Iranians today are educated and

02:16:45.400 there's so many universities and, you know, all this stuff is because the Shah laid the foundation

02:16:50.500 and the groundwork for that. And that's what he was basically teaching everyone. So, you know,

02:16:57.600 when the Islamic regime took over the country and they imposed Islam, they did initially actually

02:17:05.760 try to discourage women from going to school. Like even today, even today, they actually have

02:17:12.400 like commercials out where they're basically encouraging like girls as young as nine years

02:17:17.700 old to get married, right? Which is absolutely disgusting. So the Islamic regime has been trying

02:17:26.580 for 47 years to, you know, get rid of all the improvements and accomplishments and achievements

02:17:35.060 of the Shah, but it's too late because the Pahlavi family put Iranians on a trajectory of

02:17:43.600 success. And I believe that's one of the reasons why we have been able to resist 47 years of

02:17:53.660 Islamic occupation because of what the Pahlavi dynasty did. And because of that trajectory

02:18:04.160 that they put all of us on um like they they basically laid the groundwork and the foundation

02:18:11.820 and and the um muslim clerics haven't been able to take that away they remember they started they

02:18:18.380 started with forcing mandatory hijab and then for the longest time women weren't allowed to do many

02:18:24.500 things guys even to this day even to this day women in occupied iran are not allowed to ride

02:18:31.860 motorcycles because it's un-Islamic. They're not allowed to ride bicycles. They're not allowed to

02:18:37.100 attend sports stadiums, right? But the one thing they couldn't take away was education.

02:18:50.580 Mike Kenuga says, it's just sad the connotations of Iranian people. These Islamic have ruined the

02:18:59.100 world. Thank you for your coverage of the truth. You are amazing. Thank you. I appreciate that.

02:19:03.640 Thank you for being here. Bob Noggetts. After I researched it, I realized that the idea that

02:19:08.980 the Shah was a dictator was BS. Yeah, absolutely. 100%. That's what we've been trying to say

02:19:15.460 for the last 47 years. Unfortunately, history is written by the victors. And so

02:19:21.180 that unfortunate narrative that the leftists and the Islamists and the communists have put out

02:19:27.480 has stuck. But the vast majority of people who actually, you know, like you, who actually look

02:19:35.680 into it, they realize, wow, it's actually the complete opposite. The Shah was not a dictator.

02:19:42.460 In fact, the Shah loved the Iranian people. The Shah loved Iran. And the Shah was fighting the

02:19:50.140 good fight against the Durkhas, against the Islamic, you know, Islamic jihadis, and against

02:19:56.360 the communists. The Shah was unfortunately ahead of his time. The Shah was ahead of his time

02:20:03.060 by 50, 60 years. And he was fighting that fight on his own. And it's only now today

02:20:09.160 that the rest of the world is slowly waking up and realizing the danger of this unholy alliance,

02:20:17.680 which the Shah, he coined the term unholy alliance of red and black. Red being communism

02:20:24.800 and Islamism and black, sorry, red being communism and socialism and black being Islamism.

02:20:31.660 The Shah of Iran coined that term.

02:20:33.980 So whenever you guys hear the, you know, the term unholy alliance, the Shah of Iran, Shah

02:20:39.140 and Shah Aryam, he's the one that coined the term.

02:20:43.140 Mike Hanuga says, all these students were deemed spies or enemies of the state after

02:20:48.260 the revolution.

02:20:48.960 I bet.

02:20:49.100 Yeah, absolutely.

02:20:49.880 A lot of them also, you know, fled too, right?

02:20:52.240 Or would have to, would have to escape.

02:20:54.800 Uh, Roman Viking landlords paid a lot of the clerics income after the white revolution,

02:21:00.120 their income became less. Yeah, exactly. That's why the landlords and, um, the, the, uh, Islamic

02:21:06.160 clerics were against the Shah's white revolution because they were benefiting from having a

02:21:13.180 population that was, um, in servitude and indebted. Right. So there you go. All right,

02:21:21.960 guys um thank you so much for tuning in i hope you enjoyed um this documentary watch party
