Today is the birthday of a very important person, a person that is incredibly beloved by the Iranian people, and a person who was really, really done dirty by the islamists and communists back in the 60s and 70s. His birthday also coincides with the birth of another equally important Iranian figure in our history, Cyrus the Great.
00:09:30.760And even though today's live stream should not be spicy, it should not be confrontational,
00:09:40.360it should not be controversial but it is and i'll tell you why the controversy doesn't come from
00:09:47.080me as an iranian the controversy comes from the islamists who for 1400 years since the arab
00:09:54.920muslim conquest of persia have tried to erase our iranian identity right um and they don't like the
00:10:04.200fact that we never assimilated they don't like the fact that we preserved our iranian language right
00:10:12.360we speak persian um after the arab muslim conquest of persia um our language persian was actually
00:10:22.200banned for two centuries we were not allowed to speak our own language that is a that was
00:10:27.720a common tactic that the um arab muslim colonizers did right they would go go to a group of people0.98
00:10:35.560oppress them and force them to forget their their tongue their language and just speak arabic and0.98
00:10:41.480that's why you see um you know the vast majority of the middle east right is predominantly arabic
00:10:48.280and there are a lot of various cultures and peoples who have lost the link to their original
00:10:55.880indigenous language um so they tried to do that with iranians but we were able to revive our
00:11:03.400language after two centuries because we had um you know some great poets fair dosi was one of
00:11:09.960them fair dosi is basically the um the iranian equivalent of shakespeare right and he in the
00:11:16.840literary world he is just as famous as shakespeare so you know any literary historian buff person
00:11:23.640out there well no fair to see so the reason that what i'm going to share with you and talk to you0.82
00:11:30.360about is controversial is because this is this is this is a constant reminder to the islamists that
00:11:40.360they were not able to erase our iranian identity right the fact that we um you know the fact that
00:11:49.320the the shah of iran at the time in 1971 he celebrated the 2500 year anniversary of the
00:11:59.400persian empire right so it was um an an unbroken line of kings and emperors starting from cyrus the
00:12:11.400the Great, and going all the way to Shahan Shah Aryomeh, the previous Shah of Iran, and
00:12:19.640it still continues to this day with his son, the Shah in exile, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
00:12:27.320II, because, and I spoke about this before, but I forgot to bring this up, he actually
00:12:34.560swore the oath of monarchy basically he swore the succession oath after his father passed away
00:12:43.860let me bring it up so this is like a very um a forgotten piece of history that a lot of people0.91
00:12:54.820either don't know about or or they've forgotten and of course the islamists try to um ignore this0.73
00:13:02.660they tried to gaslight us and pretend like this did not happen but um gotta remove this and i'm0.87
00:13:11.380gonna add this so here you go so so the monarchy line is actually unbroken right um so here you
00:13:19.540can see in 1980 crown prince reza pahlavi the son of the previous shah he took his oath as
00:13:28.020roi du jour in cairo and that was october 31st 1980 well guys a lot of things seem to happen in
00:13:33.700october here um but there you go so we actually we still do have an unbroken line of monarchs dating
00:13:42.820back over 2500 years to the time of cyrus the great um and so you know one of the things you're0.91
00:13:53.140going to commonly hear about from from the islamists is you know the shah was corrupt he0.97
00:14:00.980threw and he would throw expensive parties in the desert and blah blah blah um what the islamists0.82
00:14:07.940are referring to right because they never go into facts they never talk about um what they're0.70
00:14:14.340actually referring to because they don't want you to go and dig in and see what was actually
00:14:19.460happening they just throw buzzwords at you right because it's like the lowest common denominator
00:14:25.940right it's like just low iq buzzwords they can just throw around throw around right party in
00:14:30.660the desert party in the desert um he was corrupt right um and why you know it's very similar to
00:14:37.220the tactics with the um like the pro habas people they just like you know yell genocide genocide
00:14:42.340when we all know there's actually no genocide uh whatsoever right and like the the um civilian
00:14:48.180ratio is incredibly low but but it's the same tactic right they just have a few buzzwords
00:14:53.540and they just throw it out there and they just repeat it over and over because they don't have
00:14:57.300any logical reasoning or argument or anything to go behind it so i'm going to explain to you
00:15:04.260exactly what this party in the desert was and why it was so critical and why i myself personally0.67
00:15:13.780you know, as one Iranian, a single Iranian, I am so grateful that the Shah of Iran at the time
00:15:22.200celebrated the 2500 year anniversary of the Persian Empire. I was not alive at the time,
00:15:30.400right? Like I was born in 1985. But the fact that he did that, he basically created a piece of
00:15:38.780history of our shared, you know, our identity as Iranians, which goes back 2,500 years, over 2,500
00:15:46.560years. By doing what he did, he added to that history. He added to our heritage, right? And
00:15:55.340again, even a few days ago, we Iranians, we celebrated Cyrus the Great Day. We hold our
00:16:03.620own events and we honor cyrus the great in iran in iran right now on cyrus the great day
00:16:10.740iranians flock flock to the tomb of cyrus the great um and you know they they yell for the king
00:16:19.780to return um you know i'll see if i can find something um there's so many of them i'll find
00:16:31.540one video here. Cyrus to Iran. All right. Here we go. Here we go. This is, oh, oh, I posted this
00:16:47.640one myself. Look at that. Okay. See, guys, everything I talk about, everything I talk
00:16:54.400about, I always come with receipts. So here are Iranians. So I posted this on April 2nd. Okay.1.00
00:17:03.240So I posted this on April 2nd. This was for the Persian New Year celebrations. And here you can
00:17:10.420see even even just a few months ago, right a few months ago, Iranians, they went to the tomb.
00:17:18.180They went to the tomb of Cyrus the Great in Persepolis, you can see them here and they're
00:17:22.800celebrating right and and they're saying like long live the king and everything so so this is just
00:17:29.040um like four or five months ago in april
00:17:31.820now keep in mind this this is not something that's planned by the government right and i use the0.64
00:17:48.660the word government very loosely um because of course Iran is currently occupied by a brutal
00:17:55.060Islamic dictatorship this is not not something that is organized by the government um by the
00:18:00.740Islamic regime the Islamic regime doesn't put any sort of money or funding into anything like this
00:18:06.740uh because they are incredibly anti-Iranian and um they view the Iranian identity as um as a threat
00:18:18.180right and I've shown the video before of Khomeini the you know demonic evil Ayatollah who was the
00:18:25.700founder of the Islamic Republic um when he said that um we you know Islam does not want patriots0.77
00:18:36.100he said that Islam wants Muslims and he said that patriots are the enemy of Islam right let me let
00:18:43.380let me bring that video up for you again, just as a refresher, because I know there's a lot of
00:18:47.740information here, guys, but I have it all for you. Here we go. Here we go. I mean, gosh, I hate
00:19:01.100showing this man's evil demonic face, but it has to be done, because this, you know, here when he's0.59
00:19:07.980talking about how patriotism is the enemy of islam he's referring directly to because this is like
00:19:15.420this is right when he came to iran and you know they overthrew um the the government and you know0.85
00:19:21.580they took iran hostage so this is right when they've come in and he goes he he says it plainly0.90
00:19:28.060right away that patriotism is the enemy of islam and he only wants muslims so he doesn't care1.00
00:19:34.460which country you're from or anything like that he just wants muslims like they just want to1.00
00:19:39.740colonize they want to erase our indigenous identity right it's been the same playbook1.00
00:19:45.500with islamic colonization for 1400 years and 1979 is just one of the recent examples of that
00:19:51.660so just watch this watch what this evil man says
00:20:04.460so here when he says you know when he says that very very rude phrase he's referring to
00:20:21.260the shah he's referring to the shah that had just been deposed right listen to this part0.66
00:20:25.960this part is insane because the shah he was a muslim the shah was a muslim too but he wasn't
00:20:31.500an islamist right he was a regular normal muslim and you know but the country was a secular0.93
00:20:41.260uh country that was moving towards a democracy but that wasn't good enough for the islamists0.94
00:20:46.700right like being a normal muslim is not good enough for islamic terrorists so listen to listen to this1.00
00:21:01.500Did you see that? So he's criticizing the Shah of Iran for saying that, you know, he's Iranian first, and then he's a Muslim. He's saying that that's not Islam, right?0.97
00:21:16.560so he's he's like he's like if you put anything above islam and sharia law you're not a real0.95
00:21:25.540muslim okay so compare that with what you're seeing today with all of these islamists who are
00:21:33.660coming to your countries right there there oh there's no audio no sound in the other video0.81
00:21:40.660okay hopefully we can get that fixed um but i mean it's it's the audio and it's the um
00:21:50.640the captions here right but but listen to this like this guy like this is the same mantra you're
00:21:56.880hearing from the islamists who are coming to your country right and then they're burning your flags0.92
00:22:01.960and they're saying we want sharia law why because they all think the same right they all think the0.99
00:22:07.280it's always Islam first and then you know whatever else or actually Islam first and nothing else
00:22:13.160right so um this is how Islamic colonization happens right they want to erase your identity0.98
00:22:20.660and they just want an Islam like a global Islamic caliphate so that's why the Islamists are0.97
00:22:27.840incredibly triggered by the Shah the previous Shah and the Kurd Shah as well it's also why the Islamic0.76
00:22:36.360republic has been constantly trying to erase our iranian identity and heritage um because they0.79
00:22:44.400don't like the fact that we as iranians have existed for thousands of years before their
00:22:51.680religion was invented right like before their religion came out whatever you want you know
00:22:55.160it's founded whatever right before before muhammad did what he did uh like we've been around for
00:23:01.400thousands and thousands and thousands of years like our food is older our language is older
00:23:06.120like we were eating with spoons guys we were eating with spoons um thousands of years before0.94
00:23:11.320islam was invented right like that's and they don't like that so they've been trying to erase
00:23:16.120our iranian identity and heritage and that's why that's why this evil man says uh you know patriots0.97
00:23:24.600are useless to us uh we want we need muslims and islam is opposed to patriotism so that video that0.61
00:23:32.920i showed you was a direct response to the shah's 2500 year celebration of the empire of iran because1.00
00:23:39.720of course there is nothing islamic about the empire of iran the empire of iran existed for
00:23:45.480thousands of years before islam was invented um so i'm gonna play you the video right because one
00:23:53.640the things the islamists say and they actually they also use this as well so let me let me um
00:23:59.400explain to you a little bit about the celebration of the persian empire itself and i have it on
00:24:05.080wikipedia here so let me pull this up for you guys and then we can view it together
00:24:14.040and that way i can make sure if there's something off about wikipedia i can call it out so
00:24:19.720So here's the logo for the 2,500-year celebration.
00:24:27.420So there you can see at the top, that's the royal crest.
00:28:37.100Because he was honoring 2,500 years of Iranian identity and heritage, and you cannot put a number on that.
00:28:46.860The only people who are upset about that are the Islamists.0.93
00:28:49.580And so, you know, during the years leading up to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, you know, the Islamists, again, we're talking about these evil people, right?0.99
00:29:00.840We're talking about this evil man, right?1.00
00:29:04.960He was complaining about celebrating 2,500 years of the Persian Empire, right?
00:29:13.820Because, again, they have an agenda.0.95
00:36:22.780So, you know, when they talk about, oh, this was an extravagant party,
00:36:26.440the shah was literally spending money on you know Iranian culture and heritage I'm for one and
00:36:34.380that's where I want my money to go you know where I don't want my money to go I don't want my money
00:36:39.600going to found to funding Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis that's what the Islamic Republic is0.98
00:36:45.200doing so this this is bad right this according to them is bad spending money on historically
00:36:52.120accurate outfits and costumes, right, to bring to life the Persian Empire, that's a no-no for0.64
00:37:00.460the Islamists. But, you know, sending money to Hamas and Hezbollah to front terrorism and0.64
00:37:06.440murder Jews, that's okay, right? I mean, again, this is the thinking of the Islamists. They hate0.97
00:37:12.800everything and everyone. So, you know, to me, that is money well spent, 100%, money well spent.
00:37:21.020um this was the tent city so this is actually super super cool so they actually you know they
00:37:28.640set up a series of tents right because the the celebration was held in the desert right you can
00:37:34.440see like there's the ruins of persepolis and then you know there's a road that they built and then
00:37:40.200there's the tents and that's where the dignitaries were stayed which makes sense i mean you're
00:37:44.940literally inviting the heads of state and royalty you're inviting 60 royalty members and heads of
00:37:50.820state from around the world to honor cyrus the great i mean you have to have some sort of first
00:37:58.740of all security measures in place right and then you know you have to be a good host well you're
00:38:03.060just going to bring them and just have them languish in the desert right like it's insane
00:38:06.980and look how like beautifully this was done it's so classy and you know it's not at all like over
00:38:13.220the top but it's still very um very high class you know what i mean very very high class
00:38:20.820all right so here's here's the the tents that they had look at that that's and then this guy
00:38:28.180like you know wearing wearing traditional dress right and that's the other thing no one ever
00:38:32.760talks about like all the jobs that were created right so you know if the shah was spending millions
00:38:38.780of dollars to hire iranians to help with the festivities good that's that's how money should
00:38:45.460be specked right and then of course here's shahan and the queen so uh she is still alive by the way
00:38:56.800she just turned 87 we love her um why are these people oh my gosh oh guys i told you like i told
00:39:09.900you people like i told you the islamists what gets um triggered right like i'm literally sharing0.98
00:39:16.480facts about iranian history and then all these non-iranians are in here and they're like all0.94
00:39:22.300triggered i don't know why look at this look how beautiful this is oh my gosh like that is just
00:39:28.160such a beautiful thing right like that looking at this this makes me proud to be iranian right
00:39:35.560this is my heritage this is my iranian identity and history and culture and i love seeing this
00:39:42.200it's beautiful it's beautiful and you know prior to the islamic republic uh taking over and turning0.94
00:39:49.400our countries with some century islamic hellhole we were such amazing hosts people from around the1.00
00:39:54.680world would come visit iran and travel to iran okay so there are some more all right let's go1.00
00:40:03.560back here. So the planning for the party took a year. And then there was the tent city that I
00:40:11.800spoke about. Festivities. So the festivities were opened on October 12, 1971, when the Shah and the
00:40:18.720Shah Banu paid homage to Cyrus the Great at his mausoleum in Pasar Gaudet, or, you know, Persepolis.
00:40:25.400For the next two days, the Shah and his wife greeted arriving guests, often directly at
00:40:30.040Shiraz's airport. On 14 October, a grand gala dinner took place in the Banqueting Hall in
00:40:35.640celebration of the birthday of the Shah Honu, because her birthday was in October as well.
00:40:39.94060 members of royal families and heads of state were assembled at the single large serpentine
00:40:44.780table in the Banqueting Hall. They dined off a special dinner service of 10,000 plates
00:40:49.880commissioned from the English China manufacturer's boat. Each plate decorated in turquoise and gold
00:40:56.680with the Shah's coat of arms. I love that. I love that. 600 guests dined over five and a half hours,
00:41:06.340thus making for the longest and most lavish official banquet in modern history. I absolutely
00:41:14.240love, love that. I love that we are known for our hospitality as Iranians. It's definitely much
00:41:22.920better than being known for like you know blowing people up as islamists right so there's you know
00:41:28.200big difference between iranians and islamists there all right so okay this is this is the0.80
00:41:34.440interesting part so this is this is where like the islamist jihadi takia nonsense comes into play
00:41:40.360so the ministry of the court placed the cost at 17 million us dollars at the time someone else
00:41:48.360puts it at about 22 million okay so the actual figure is difficult to calculate exactly and is
00:41:54.120a partisan issue so this is where it comes in right so the islamists the islamists claim
00:42:02.200that the celebrations cost about 120 million u.s dollars however this claim has been described as
00:42:08.760having no real basis. There you go. So again, it's just it's just all lies, right? So even even
00:42:20.480with the exorbitant amounts that they're saying, they can't prove it. But you know what, even if
00:42:27.740the Shah spent 120 million US dollars to celebrate the 2500 year anniversary of Cyrus the Great,
00:42:36.940Good. I'm glad he should have spent more. In fact, I think it's a shame that he did not celebrate Cyrus the Great Day every year. And I have a feeling that when Iran is free, it's going to be an annual thing. It's going to be an annual thing, right? I mean, there are so many important parts of our elements and heritage and history that we are so proud of.0.93
00:43:03.900Why shouldn't we celebrate? I mean, you know, Germans have Oktoberfest. Why can't we have Cyrus the Great? Right.
00:43:11.840Why? Like so many countries proudly celebrate their cultural heritage. Right.
00:43:18.540And yet for some reason, when we Iranians celebrated in the past, you have the Islamists who come and attack us.
00:43:25.980And why do they attack us? Because, again, it's part of the whole Islamic colonization agenda. Right.0.98
00:43:32.180They want to actively erase our identity and history.
00:43:36.300So let's now start watching this video.
00:43:46.140And, you know, again, I just want to thank the late Shah of Iran, Shahan Shah Aryamir, for doing this, for having the foresight to not only do this,
00:43:58.940but to also give people the opportunity to document it so that future generations of Iranians could watch this and feel proud,0.89
00:44:07.800especially given the fact that now our country is occupied by Islamic terrorists who have been trying to erase our Iranian identity.0.76
00:44:16.120This video is a link not only to our Iranian identity and heritage, but it's a link to what Iran was like before Islam came in.0.55
00:44:27.960it's a link to what Iran was like when we were a normal secular country and it0.74
00:44:33.660also gives us hope it gives us hope and it lets us know that we can go back to0.55
00:44:38.280that and we will go back to that because Islamic dictatorship is very weak and it0.89
00:44:43.380will be overthrown soon and as soon as Iran is free we can go back to proudly
00:44:47.640celebrating our Iranian identity and heritage all right guys here we go and I
00:44:53.100found like this version where it's like narrated narrated by a British dude so
00:44:57.180it's funny. Some of the things he says are pretty funny.
00:45:27.180Iranians call it Iran. Their soft and musical language, Persian. On the rim of the country's
00:45:35.900dead heart, the old enemy, sand. This part is actually, the first time I heard this part,
00:45:43.900I kind of, I didn't realize that my enemy is sand, but there you go, guys. So for Iranians,1.00
00:45:48.840all the Iranians watching, apparently our enemy is sand. I just thought that was kind of funny.1.00
00:45:52.860Sand, sand, they're flowered under its powder blue skies, a wonder in the story of mankind.
00:46:02.780so this year right like this is like the the um ruins of persepolis so persepolis was the
00:46:27.720capital city of the persian empire so that's um you're seeing like parts of the city there
00:46:32.780beautiful women in a land blessed to this day with beautiful women
00:46:40.140inspired the miniature painter's brushes women with silvery voices and melting eyes
00:46:47.660i have to say um i totally get it's like a 1970s thing you know like he's like romanticizing like
00:46:57.760iranian women but it's it's really funny i don't mind though i don't mind i mean
00:47:02.120I don't think I have a silvery voice but I know and then he says something about her eyes he says
00:47:06.580like eyes like gazelles or something but I don't know it's just it's just really funny how they0.84
00:47:11.520like you know people describe each other like they're they're making Iran seem like this very0.77
00:47:15.600exotic place although I mean I guess it is you know what I have to remember that like for non-Iranians
00:47:21.040especially people who are not from the Middle East um Iran is pretty exotic in fact you know
00:47:26.380everything you could think of like with the Middle East like you could find in Iran like
00:47:32.040all the stereotypes and everything and in fact uh interesting side note um a thousand and one nights
00:47:38.200shahzad and a thousand and one nights is um an iranian story and in fact the princess's name
00:47:43.800you guys say shahrazad um it's actually pronounced shahzad which is an ancient persian name from
00:47:51.640the persian empire so there you go a thousand and one arabian nights doesn't exist it was just
00:47:56.600like some ignorant person just added the arabian part to it but you know a thousand and one nights
00:48:02.920is originally persian there you go eyes like the eyes of the gazelle which leaps over the tarnished0.86
00:48:10.360gold of the mountainsides over the centuries grew palaces and mosques will continue to triumph and0.97
00:48:20.040we will triumph against the islamic republic because again this was this was made um seven0.98
00:48:25.960eight years before the islamic republic took over so everything he's saying still relevant today0.92
00:48:31.800and the islamic republic is not special they're no different than any other occupiers in the past we
00:48:37.000have maintained our iranian identity and heritage for thousands of years we'll continue to do so
00:48:42.760well after the islamic republic is thrown into the app so that's that's the shah of iran shahan
00:48:48.600and that's the empress and then you'll see behind the uh his son that's the current shah in exile
00:48:56.700um of iran shah and shah are yomer it's his birthday today happy birthday to you
00:49:01.420shah and shah are yomer thank you for what you did back in 1971 thank you for giving us future
00:49:08.340generations of iranians an opportunity to witness that historic event and to celebrate it and to0.99
00:49:15.280throw it in the face of the Islamists who have tried to erase our identity for 2500 years we are0.95
00:49:22.580sorry for 1400 years i should say they have tried to erase our identity they have not been able to0.95
00:49:27.340do so they will not be able to do so and we will keep your legacy going and strong we love you
00:49:33.340the lord's anointed of the prophet isaiah in the old testament cyrus the founder of persian culture
00:49:42.080and the father of Iran, the land, five times the size of Great Britain,
00:53:38.720And, you know, with all the evil that the Islamic Republic has brought upon the Iranian people and our nation with all the, you know, death and despair and suffering.1.00
00:53:50.440And I could go on and on about the horrific things they have done to us for 47 years in the name of, like, Islam and Allah and whatever.1.00
00:53:59.900Something like this is like a beacon of light.
00:54:02.760It's like a ray of hope, right? Like it's, it's a window into a world of possibilities where the Iran's past could be or not could be Iran's past will be her future. So this is this what you're looking at is what you can expect when Iran is free. It's not going to be like Iraq or Libya or Afghanistan. None of that. None of that.
00:54:29.440We're going to go back to what we were before 1979, which is a proper country, a proper functioning country with a heritage and a cultural identity that predates Islam by thousands of years.0.97
00:54:43.120So what you're looking at right now is not just Iran's past, but it's her future.0.96
00:54:49.180As soon as the Islamic Republic is overthrown and we're getting to that point, we're going to go back to this.
00:54:54.200So this gives you a very good insight into Iranian society and culture.
00:56:50.140in a patchwork of color in a whirl of salutes bowels and curtsies familiar faces in the world

01:01:05.020you some pictures now i guess we're going to get a glimpse of the tent city was shaped like a star
01:01:09.420with five wings branching out from the royal pavilion to represent the five continents each
01:01:16.060head of state had an apartment with a sitting room two bedrooms and two bathrooms oh wow okay let's
01:01:21.200go back a little bit did you guys catch that like even even the design of the tent city had meaning
01:01:27.060like look at that so it's five branches for five continents that is so like just the amount of like
01:01:36.720thought and detail and planning that went into this is absolutely incredible right like who would
01:01:43.280have even thought to do something like that and yet they did so it just i love it i love it i love
01:01:50.260everything about this their camp if you can call it a camp was shaped like a
01:01:56.560star with five wings branching out from the royal pavilion to represent the five
01:02:02.020continents each head of state had an apartment with a sitting room two
01:02:06.460bedrooms and two bathrooms at a service room with an electric stove and ironing
01:02:20.260the shah had personally supervised all the preparations inside of the ruins of the great
01:02:32.820palace of his predecessors which had taken 187 years to build the complex of new building
01:02:38.900was a major piece of construction even for modern times
01:02:42.460one day it is thought that it might become a super hotel for wealthy tourists
01:02:50.260The great hand weavers of Persian carpets had been using their uncanny skill to make portraits in silk of each of the distinguished guests.
01:02:59.400I love that. Oh, my gosh. Could you imagine like you get a portrait?
01:03:04.520You get a portrait of yourself that's a Persian rug.
01:08:33.100That's totally not allowed. This is banned in Iran.
01:08:35.520The country which after. Right. So so people now like so when the Islamic Republic first came into power in 1979, they had a lot of control.1.00
01:08:45.240There was a lot of religious like fervor as well and everything. So everything was banned.
01:08:49.460Everything was banned. They would still want it to be banned to this day.
01:08:52.960But, you know, things have changed quite a bit. You have three generations of Iranians who were born after the Islamic Republic,
01:09:00.960who wants nothing to do with sharia law starting with myself the millennials and then the gen z
01:09:06.720and now gen alpha um and so you're seeing more and more um videos and images coming out of young
01:09:13.040people in iran just you know walking around without wearing hijab as much or maybe like
01:09:18.720dancing or singing in the streets totally not allowed like totally the thought of like
01:09:24.000the thought of me like because i i was i visited iran um a few times when i was young i was there
01:09:29.600as a teenager for a few months and you know completely different right the thought of like
01:09:33.920even going out and dancing um like gets me nervous makes me start to shake because i've seen what
01:09:41.280happens right but so the images and videos that you're seeing right now coming out of iran where
01:09:48.160young people are you know singing or dancing or playing rock music um that's not because the
01:09:54.080islamic republic uh is no longer there it's because those young people are engaging in civil
01:10:01.520disobedience can you imagine like civil disobedience in iran is singing and dancing0.69
01:10:08.320this right here is civil disobedience why because this is against sharia law
01:10:12.560the centuries of empathy but here you go like this looks like any normal celebration so guys
01:10:18.320for those of you who just joined this is iran um prior to 1979 when islamic regime took over this
01:10:24.720is the um 1971 uh celebration of the 2500 year anniversary of the persian empire so you are
01:10:33.200watching videos of when iran was normal and if you guys just a quick plug if you guys want to see
01:10:39.920more footage like this i actually have a playlist on my youtube channel called iran before 1979 and
01:10:47.360I'm adding videos to that so make sure that you subscribe to my YouTube channel and then you can
01:10:54.000go to the playlist I just started the playlist yesterday I've already uploaded five five or six
01:11:00.960videos and I'm going to be uploading more daily so you know at any time you want to see what Iran
01:11:05.920looks like before 1979 just go to that playlist because it's got a whole bunch of stuff already
01:11:11.040and I'm going to be adding more to it as well. Their Shah was determined to lead into the 20th
01:11:16.800century he began by inviting the world to sorry i have to stop again this is women in 1971 in iran0.78
01:11:25.120like does this look like an islamic country to you right like this this is insane this right
01:11:31.360now is banned in iran stop look and listen the modern world had half forgot and you know the
01:11:43.760other thing i wanted to mention is one of the things that like the communists or the islamists
01:11:48.180say is that you know minorities had no rights and minorities were um persecuted by the shah0.91
01:11:55.620utter complete nonsense bs it's takia right it's just another lie that the islamists spread0.84
01:12:03.060to propagate um hatred for the shah and to fuel people into overthrowing the islam overthrowing0.96
01:12:12.080shah bringing about the islamic republic the shah never persecuted minorities look he literally0.57
01:12:16.640celebrated the various cultures and tribes and you know everything about iran like like you're
01:12:23.280seeing all these different types of traditional dance and everything so i mean everything you0.93
01:12:28.800think you know about the shah is a lie because you have been fed propaganda by the islamists0.53
01:12:35.360for 47 years but you know what you know what does not lie videos videos and images and that's why0.96
01:12:42.080They don't want you to see this stuff because they don't want you to know the truth
01:13:12.080Throughout the day and into the night, the Shah was in constant attendance on the newly arriving guests.
01:13:31.300His hand, for a hundred times, was stretched in welcome.
01:21:51.700All right, let's watch this light show.
01:21:53.760And, guys, like, enjoy because this part is amazing.
01:21:57.080The gates guarded by winged bulls with human heads.
01:22:19.580And now comes the procession of the ambassadors, their beards and ringlets, their hair curled.
01:22:25.580The long procession towards the stairways of stone and black marble, guarded by the lances of our royal guard, the 10,000 mortals.0.87
01:22:34.580The long train of the horsemen from the steps of the Arab camel drivers, moving toward the tall forest of stone columns that reach to the sky in a gesture of prayer.0.83
01:22:49.580The Aeolians and the Aeolians, living on land and sea, bring you their rams and amber chalices.0.97
01:22:57.680And when I reconquered Cyprus, the Greek colonies of Asia, I too left them all their liberties.0.52
01:28:44.300how cool is this how like it's incredible it's incredible so you know you're in the desert right
01:28:51.500you're in the ruins of persepolis uh the you know ancient city of the persian empire right cyrus the
01:28:58.140great the founder of the persian empire built persepolis as well so you're in the ruins of
01:29:02.780persepolis the city that existed uh 2500 years ago and now this incredible parade is about to start
01:29:11.020which highlights and showcases the history of the persian civilization like i have chills right now
01:29:18.220like i would give anything to witness something like this um firsthand myself and you know it's
01:29:26.940not such a wild thing like i have a feeling that uh you know if the islamic republic hadn't taken0.96
01:29:33.180over and you know we had continued to be a normal secular country we would be seeing a lot more0.86
01:29:40.140stuff like this i mean think of all of the um parades that various countries host uh around
01:29:46.940the world right annually annually christmas parades thanksgiving parades you know all those
01:29:52.780things and yet the fact that we iranians held a parade to commemorate the 2500th birthday of our0.89
01:30:02.140nation is something that the islamists complained about and still complain about right um communists
01:30:09.260don't respect history. Islamists don't respect history. And the fact that they are now coming0.85
01:30:15.040into your countries and they're trying to cancel your celebrations, it's not a bug. It's a feature
01:30:22.160because they canceled this. The Islamists canceled this for us. And now I cannot experience this1.00
01:30:29.700right now until Iran is free. I have to celebrate Cyrus the Great Day outside of Iran because the0.98
01:30:35.800Islamists are controlling the country.1.00
01:30:40.880And no, the Shah did not bankrupt the country by throwing the ball.0.99
01:30:45.820I mean, guys, this is like, it's the most ridiculous argument that Islamists put out.0.74
01:30:50.920All governments invest in tourism.0.91
01:30:53.640And I'm saying this to you as a former politician.
01:30:56.080I was a politician for seven years in Ontario, Canada.
01:30:59.420All governments have a ministry of tourism and heritage and culture.0.99
01:31:05.000and governments invest in tourism and heritage and culture because this brings in outsiders
01:31:13.140they want to come to to the country and then they want to spend right so these things are0.99
01:31:19.060just from an economic point of view it's good for business the fact that the shah did this um0.76
01:31:25.800this paid like exponentially in dividends right the like this was not wasting money this was an
01:31:34.480investment in Iran. This was an investment in Iranian culture, in Iranian tourism. He basically
01:31:43.040put Iran on the map because after this, all of a sudden people from around the world wanted to
01:31:49.620travel to Iran. And in fact, a few years after this, Iran Air had the first direct flight from
01:31:58.160New York City nonstop to Tehran, Iran. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine the 70s? There was
01:32:04.320a direct flight from new york to tehran well before there were direct flights to any other
01:32:10.240countries in the middle east but there was a direct flight right why it was because of this
01:32:14.400because the investment that the shah put into this celebration paid in dividends and this is what the
01:32:22.800islamists don't want this is like what communists and islamists don't get i don't know maybe they're0.99
01:32:27.840just low iq maybe they're stupid i don't know every single government has a budget for tourism1.00
01:32:35.760and heritage and culture it's expected right it's expected and yet for some reason the islamists0.99
01:32:42.560are complaining about the shah doing this and you know what it makes sense because they are so low0.77
01:32:48.400iq and they don't understand anything about the economy the the shah was actually growing iran's
01:32:55.200economy and the gdp was growing like it was it was improving exponentially now the economy in iran0.72
01:33:04.320is like the worst in the entire world the the real is worth next to nothing inflation is through the0.99
01:33:10.960roof 70 of people live below the poverty line because not only have the mullahs stolen all0.91
01:33:16.640the money for themselves iran is a resource oil rich country there is no reason for anyone to be0.59
01:33:22.880poor um in fact iranian citizens they don't even have to work people could be completely unemployed0.76
01:33:30.320and the government could still pay for them all that's how rich iran is but all the ayatollahs0.87
01:33:35.120have done is they have stolen the money for themselves right they're all worth billions0.87
01:33:39.120and billions of dollars um and they also don't know how to run a country they have no idea of1.00
01:33:45.360economics because they're all a bunch of like inbred uneducated mullahs the only thing they0.91
01:33:49.680know how to read is the quran they know nothing about governing a country and so iran's economy0.99
01:33:55.520is literally the worst it has ever been in the history of its existence right and yet those1.00
01:34:02.320islamists are complaining about this investment that the shah made in iran right he invested in0.98
01:34:09.280iran which then paid out in dividends because this is what promoted tourism and then you have0.79
01:34:17.040millions of people traveling to iran annually to visit like that's exactly the reason for1.00
01:34:23.520something like this but but the low iq islamists and communists they don't get it1.00
01:34:30.800persia is on parade a parade of the great warriors of persian history
01:34:35.920led by the prehistoric men in skins who were the first of all.
01:34:49.040Here are the war chariots of the Archimenean kings
01:34:52.840who conquered and civilized the ancient world,
01:34:55.800whose trumpets were a call of peace.0.98
01:35:05.920Another thing I want to point out, guys, so the movie 300 did Iranians dirty.
01:35:27.480The movie 300 is the most inaccurate depiction of Iranians I have ever seen
01:35:35.040Because in that movie, they basically they depicted, you know, Iranians and Xerxes as like these, I don't know, savages who were half naked barbarians.
01:35:45.240And, you know, they were pierced and whatever. Nothing farther from the truth.0.96
01:35:50.740In fact, it was the like Greeks and Romans that were usually half naked.1.00
01:35:55.180This is what Iranians looked like.1.00
01:35:57.020So, you know, when you're thinking about all those ancient battles, when you think about the movie 300, this is what Iranians actually looked like.
01:36:07.000Right. Not not that like Iranians, the Persian Empire basically invented military formations and battalions and all that stuff.
01:36:16.500Right. So all of like the modern day, like military organization stuff, you guys, I'm not a military person, but like, you know, those battalions and, you know, all the groups and orders and whatever.
01:36:26.280the Persian Empire invented that. That is another invention of the Persian Empire because the
01:36:30.600military was very, very precise and very organized. So again, like the movie 300,
01:36:36.800utter nonsense, totally did us dirty because we never looked like that. This is what we
01:36:43.020looked like. We were fully dressed, fully clothed. Okay. So keep that in mind.
01:36:56.280these were the persian infantry with wicker shields sons of cyrus and darius who ruled so0.57
01:37:16.680many peoples but awarded them all the rights of free men there were no so yeah see this is what
01:37:23.560this is what the uh persians in the movie 300 should have looked like because this is historically
01:37:30.120accurate this is what we looked like uh you know 3 000 years ago the movie 300 is utter nonsense
01:37:38.200i refuse to watch that i think i watched it one time when it first came out and i didn't
01:37:43.160even watch it in theaters i think i like downloaded it or something you know off like
01:37:47.560um napster or whatever it was called at the time so thankfully i didn't even pay for it because it0.98
01:37:51.640it was garbage movie utter crap utter nonsense completely historically inaccurate and completely0.98
01:37:56.920racist towards iranians by the way this is this is what the iranians in the movie 3000.99
01:38:02.280it should have looked like lives in the Persian Empire I love how they're like juxtaposing do you
01:38:27.940see this like so the you could see like the similarity between the guys you know the the
01:38:33.160people who are dressed as the infantry and then the carvings on the wall right so basically all
01:38:39.100those carvings on the walls of persepolis are being brought to life here like it's just gives0.98
01:38:45.740me goosebumps fun facts uh in case you guys didn't know there were also um women in the0.52
01:39:14.380Persian army. In fact, there are several famous Iranian women in the Persian Empire who were
01:39:21.480generals and commanders. One person I can think of off the top of my head is
01:39:26.380Pantea al-Tishbod. She was a very, very famous general in the Persian army. So in case you
01:39:35.980didn't know, in the Persian Empire, women and men were equal.
01:39:44.380For more than 10 years, archaeological experts studying the records which remain pieced together how the old warriors must have looked.
01:40:02.460No stirrups for the cavalry. Stirrups were invented centuries later.
01:40:07.200Every historic detail in this parade, so far as we can know today, is exact.
01:40:14.380this is the other thing as well so this is what this is what the persian empire was 2500 years
01:40:29.560ago um so you can see like well-dressed organized civilized um like everything you would think of0.66
01:40:37.320in a modern society right and yet somehow the islamists you know they claim that islam like0.94
01:40:44.440brought civilization to iran like it's the biggest nonsense islam um the the muslim conquest of persia0.79
01:40:52.200was the first biggest downgrade um in human civilization and then the islamic republic and1.00
01:41:00.200then you know after the shah here all his efforts to modernize iran bring us forward0.92
01:41:05.320the second biggest downgrade is the islamic republic which took over in 1979
01:41:10.840and then you're basically seeing exactly what happened in 650 happened again in 1979 because
01:41:17.960in 1979 iran was a modern thriving secular prosperous country and then islam and sharia0.79
01:41:25.960law came turned the country right back into a seventh century islamic hellhole and overnight0.98
01:41:31.800took the country back 1400 years so this is what iran was like before islam was invented0.97
01:41:38.680he found like thousands of years before islam was invented this is what iran was like
01:41:48.920this wooden fortress pulled by a span of oxen was one of the first siege weapons
01:42:01.800Could you imagine, okay let me just pull back a little bit here, could you imagine like if you're,
01:42:29.420i don't know like a greek or roman warrior or something and then all of a sudden you see this
01:42:34.220like giant siege tower coming at you i don't know i mean if i saw that coming at me and i was like
01:42:40.540the opposite side and i see like this giant like look at that
01:42:47.180right like this is like a i don't know how big is that that's like as big as like a
01:42:51.580three-story building at least um if i saw that coming towards me i would be like
01:42:56.940guys like i'm i'm nope nope i'm nothing i would just like give up and just run away and what's
01:43:01.980interesting actually in fact is a lot of greek historians have written about how sometimes um
01:43:07.980when you know the the persians were going to battle like the greeks or the romans or whatever
01:43:12.300um when the persians arrived because they were so um in military formation like what you're seeing
01:43:19.660here because they were so organized well-dressed uh a lot of like military equipment and then they
01:43:25.820had these like giant siege towers or whatever just the literal act of the persian army showing up
01:43:34.300was enough to like cause the other side to just surrender um and we actually one of the other ways
01:43:40.780we know that women iranian women were in the army is because uh greek historians greek and roman0.97
01:43:47.500historians wrote about uh wrote about women in the persian army in fact according to the greek
01:43:54.140and roman historians i'll see if i can find a reference i can remember i think it was herodotus
01:43:58.220i can't remember but uh they basically wrote that iranian women were even more fiercer than iranian
01:44:06.780men and so apparently whenever there was going to be like a battle or a fight um when the persians0.99
01:44:14.300showed up if they were being led by a woman general the other side would just run away they0.54
01:44:21.660were like there's no way we're gonna handle this like they were more afraid of the iranian women0.75
01:44:28.300than the men like that's how much um iranian women were um powerful and that's how much strength and
01:44:35.340that's how fierce they were and so there's a reason that um you know iranians you know from
01:44:40.540the time of the persian empire we always compare ourselves to lions and you can see even our flag
01:44:45.660has the lion and son on it right and so uh we refer to like very strong um people as shirmart
01:44:53.100or shirzan which means like lion man lion woman a reference to brave and courageous and ferocious
01:44:59.260so there you go a little piece of history uh iranian women even more fierce than iranian
01:45:04.060men when it comes to the military in the persian empire and if an iranian woman was leading the way0.96
01:45:09.740more often than not the other side would just give up and be like nope we're not dealing because0.99
01:45:13.820there's a woman there she's ruthless thought you might want to1.00
01:45:35.340in these frail oared boats armies soldiers of wagon train was said to have stretched
01:45:41.50028 miles crossed the mediterranean over the centuries through dynasties that have spread
01:45:48.220long before christ of modern times persia has prevailed conquerors from the time of alexander
01:45:55.500have adopted persian ways the spirit of the country has risen did you guys catch that like
01:46:02.780all the other militaries learned from the persian army like even alexander the great improved his
01:46:07.980his military tactics by learning from the Persians and the Persian army again and again and like I'm
01:46:15.960not denouncing it right like I'm not complaining or anything or criticizing I'm just saying like
01:46:19.780you know it's just interesting to see how much um how much the Persian empire contributed
01:46:26.520to the world and contributed to other civilizations as well and you know mad respect for the Greeks
01:46:33.180and romans i love you guys um you're like brothers and sisters you know the the beef from like 3 000
01:46:38.460years ago we don't care about that and i've been to greece beautiful country one of my favorite
01:46:42.540countries i love it the trumpets have never ceased sounding
01:46:47.500that's the other thing i want to point out so um the people in the boats that are like they're
01:47:06.240rowing okay those are not slaves that's the one thing i want to clarify the people who are like
01:47:12.180rowing the boats no slaves in various other civilizations especially at the time um and you
01:47:19.060know even like in the in the era of slave trade which i spoke about in um one of my previous
01:47:23.700live streams um many other civilizations used slaves um especially for like the boats and
01:47:30.260rowing and stuff the persians did not there was there was no slavery so even those the spirit of
01:47:34.740the country has risen again and again again the trumpets never ceased sounding
01:47:46.500is it called the galley i think it's the galley yeah so you see these people so these people in
01:47:51.460the galley if this was any other civilization they would usually be slaves right and you know
01:47:56.420how slaves are dressed like just like a loin cloth or whatever but you can see even from the
01:48:01.220way that they're dressed these people are not slaves um so like slavery was not like a core
01:48:08.820part of the persian empire again it goes back to cyrus the great and how he whenever he went
01:48:14.980somewhere and he conquered he would actually free all of the slaves right like he would free them
01:48:20.980from their enslavement and then they would become citizens of the persian empire equal to everyone
01:48:27.460else and so here you can see like again like no slaves here these are all soldiers
01:48:49.220during the next 500 years years in which the great wall of china was built
01:52:38.460The Sassanians, with their sugar loaf hats, which are still worn in Persia today, followed during the centuries when Mohammed founded Islam, and the powers of ancient Rome sank into final decline.0.97
01:53:38.460The Saffirids ruled Persia in the age when Charmin was crowned the Holy Roman Emperor0.93
01:53:50.060in 800 a.d so 880 a.d would have been after the muslim conquest of persia0.69
01:54:06.460but as you can tell um the the persians you know even though they you know had been you know
01:54:12.060colonized by islam they still kept their iranian identity and so um you know everything about this
01:54:18.860is distinctly persian right it is no similarity i mean there's similarities of course in the middle
01:54:24.300east everyone can you know dress a certain way and act a certain way you know similarities but
01:54:29.020um iran maintained its own distinct cultural identity even after the muslim conquest of persia
01:54:48.860the dial mites were contemporaries of william the conqueror the battle of hastings 1066
01:54:58.020sorry so gandalf yeah the soldiers i told you guys in the beginning um these aren't actors
01:55:06.440most of them are actual soldiers in the um imperial army of of the shahanshah yeah so
01:55:13.140these are these aren't actors these are actual soldiers that's why they're able to march in
01:55:18.400formation right like these aren't actors these are soldiers from the imperial army of iran and
01:55:23.840of course guarded javidon the what is this the um immortal guard division who are participating in
01:55:29.760this that's why everything is so precise like this is a this is a military parade guys this isn't like
01:55:35.760um a bunch of actors cosplaying right like this is not um i don't know like disneyland where
01:55:41.280you know people dressed up like princesses and pretend no these are actual soldiers um in the army
01:55:47.360and they're just wearing different outfits right like they're wearing outfits from various um eras
01:55:54.300during the persian empire but this is yeah like this is a military parade it's showcasing um the
01:56:00.880military technology of the persian empire starting from cyrus the great and then working their way
01:56:05.720forward columbus was discovering america when the safavids were on the march
01:56:35.720The Afsharits were a short-lived dynasty in Persian terms who belonged to the time when Barney Prince Charlie raised the flag of the Stuart Rebellion in Scotland.0.85
01:57:05.720The Afsharets mounted muskets on swivels, on their camels.
01:57:16.660the suns although they can scarcely have heard about it fought their battles0.88
01:57:39.540at the time of the declaration of american independence
02:01:45.380do you see how much women were respected and valued prior to 1979 we were a normal functioning
02:01:58.160country we were going towards um like we were modernizing and women were treated equally in
02:02:05.840fact women in Iran had the right to vote before women in Switzerland and Portugal women in Iran
02:02:12.080had the right to vote in 1963 there was no suffragette movement in iran because it was
02:02:18.240the top-down approach because the shah the shah of iran recognized the importance of equality
02:02:26.320between men and women and so he dictated it from the top down he said he said from now on no one
02:02:31.440had to convince them he was the one who made the announcement it was part of the white revolution
02:02:35.360that actually pissed off the islamists by the way that's uh for for another another live stream
02:02:40.080because i could go on and on about that but you know something after the islamic republic took0.99
02:02:45.680over um not only did they turn our country into a seventh century islamic hellhole they brought in0.65
02:02:51.280sharia law and then they eliminated all of this so all of the advances that the shah had made0.96
02:02:57.120not just to modernize iran but to make sure that women were treated equally and that women had the0.98
02:03:03.280same opportunities and that women were respected all that was taken away by the islamic republic
02:03:08.160And again, remember, women in the army is not a new concept to Iran, because even Greek and Roman historians wrote about the, you know, generals and leaders and Navy commanders in the Persian army 2,500 years ago who were women, right?
02:35:07.280Even though the Shah was Muslim, that was not good enough for this guy, because this0.98
02:35:11.100guy, right, it's not about, like, Muslims.0.99
02:35:14.560it's about islamic colonization and jihad right so being a muslim is not good enough0.87
02:35:22.560unless unless you are part of the global caliphate you know sharia whatever listen listen to this0.79
02:35:29.440part so when you know when he says you know i'm not going to say the i word because that's
02:35:36.720disrespectful and i'm not a savage islamist but you know when he he's referring to the shah
02:35:42.080abroad so this is right after the shah left iran in 1979 and then this evil demonic man khomeini0.63
02:35:50.160went to to iran right um and then he found it so this is like within a week or two
02:35:56.800of him going back to iran so this is what he says about the shah who was a muslim
02:36:02.240and this is what this is what the islamists think of all the moderate muslims out there
02:36:12.080did you see that so he's he's saying that the shah of iran said i'm iranian first
02:36:24.560i'm a patriot second and i'm a muslim third that was not good enough for this guy
02:36:30.400that is not good enough for the islamic republic okay so guys you have to wake up here0.69
02:36:38.000to what is happening right so he's basically saying that if you put your country first0.91
02:36:45.680that's not islam he says it this isn't islam he's saying it
02:36:51.840so what happened to iran guys it is it is starting to happen in your countries and if you don't wake
02:36:57.360up you don't by the time the next you know within one generation maybe even less within like a
02:37:03.040decade you might even be outnumbered and if you're outnumbered
02:37:11.680if you're outnumbered like good luck guys good luck you guys need to wake up
02:37:16.000to what's going on here because these people are not coming to your countries
02:37:20.400to assimilate they're coming to your countries to
02:37:23.120invade that's why they're burning your flags that's why they're making you feel
02:37:27.520racist for wanting to put your country first
02:37:33.040All right. There's my little rant on, you know, all the Islamists who say party in the desert. No, it was not a party in the desert. It was celebrating. It was celebrating Iranian heritage. It was celebrating 2,500 years worth of Iranian heritage. And I'm so glad the Shah did that. So glad he did that. And thank you. Thank you for him. I love him. And today is his birthday.1.00
02:38:00.640So, Mohamed, Riza, Shah, Karalo de Mubarak, Zad Ruzet, Shah, Bash, Bash, Zad Ruzet, Khojastabad, and yeah, happy birthday, happy birthday. Great man. I would say, I would dare say, you know, it's hard to say he's a second or third, because, you know, Cyrus is up there for sure. Cyrus is number one, Cyrus the Great.
02:38:24.300And then between him and his father, Rezoshah the Great, difficult to say, because they were both amazing, amazing kings, right?
02:38:34.000Both of them, huge historical value to the country.
02:38:38.620This old land, centuries ago, whisper their watery music.
02:38:42.960as the flags drift in the evening breeze
02:38:50.620after the formalities of the state reception
02:38:53.480the shah and his empress invite his guests
02:52:07.300from a headquarters in persepolis the press was tapping and typing comments to the world
02:52:18.660For most of them, it was a surprise to discover how the new Persia was evolving.
02:52:41.860They only remembered the old, when Persia had slept.0.94
02:52:46.660the organization of the great parade was in itself an eye-opener the celebration did you hear that so
02:52:54.900so the great parade right the parade that we just watched okay um that was in front of persepolis
02:53:02.780he just said that was an eye-opener right so when the shah of iran held that 2500 year celebration
02:53:10.820of you know the Persian Empire and he invited 60 people you know heads of state and royalty to
02:53:17.580attend it was an eye-opener for them because when they came to Iran they thought that it was like
02:53:25.120some underdeveloped backcountry you know whatever whatever right like they probably assumed people
02:53:31.380were living in tents or whatever and then instead when they came to Iran in 1971 and again like in
02:53:38.3601971 um you know cities like Dubai and you know all these other places they didn't really exist
02:53:44.320right like many of those places were not even nowhere near what they are today um they've
02:53:50.700obviously now surpassed Iran since the Islamic Republic took over because the Islamic Republic0.95
02:53:56.200um is a dictatorship they don't care about economic growth they're just like a parasite on Iran
02:54:01.520But back in 1971, they thought that Iran was like those countries.0.79
02:54:08.340And yet when they got there, it was an eye opener for them because they realized how modern Iran was, how much it had industrialized under the Pahlavi dynasty.
02:54:19.740and the Shah basically used that opportunity of the 25-year anniversary
02:54:25.660to not just promote tourism, but to then work on economic investment, right?
02:54:33.040Because now other countries realize, oh my gosh, this is not what we thought.
02:54:41.880In fact, Iran at the time in 1971 was way more modern than several of those countries.0.95
02:54:49.740And then, of course, the Islamic Republic came in 1979 and overnight turned our country into an Islamic hellhole and got rid of, like, all the work, all the work the Pahlavi dynasty had done.0.98
02:55:02.960with a signal that the flame of persia was burning again great nations come and go1.00
02:55:11.180a century ago persia had been of no importance except to historians romanticists and students
02:55:18.960of archaeology look at her now she is making her challenge to join the new world
02:55:26.200her greatest enemy is illiteracy she has started to beat it by building 4 000 new schools in a year
02:55:36.780schools for adults does a dictator do that guys does a dictator someone who's corrupt
02:55:44.640does he build at least 4 000 schools a year to combat illiteracy
02:55:50.040does a dictator mandate that girls must complete their education0.62
02:55:58.720the only the only dictator you know the only like aspect of a dictator that i see in the shah0.97
02:56:06.460is that he wanted women to have equal rights and that pissed off the islamists because the islamists0.66
02:56:11.640as you know think women are second-class citizens they shouldn't be educated and they should be
02:56:17.400married off at the age of nine and 10. So the Shah was a dictator towards the Islamists because he0.53
02:56:23.000didn't allow them to promote their Islamist narrative. And he did not allow them to brainwash0.56
02:56:30.220Iranian people into thinking that women shouldn't be educated, right? The Shah was not a dictator.
02:56:36.380The Shah was a visionary. And you're not getting this from me. You're getting this from this guy
02:56:41.980who's narrating this back in 1970 this is the truth guys because here this was still the0.99
02:56:48.760unfiltered truth before the islamic republic took over and then started spouting their lies0.72
02:56:54.480so again which dictator builds 4 000 schools a year minimum to educate its population0.97
02:57:04.340they only remembered the old when persia had slept the organization of the great parade was
02:57:16.220in itself an eye-opener the celebrations were the signal that the flame of persia
02:57:21.220was burning again great nations come and go a century ago persia had been of no importance
02:57:30.840except to historians romanticists and students of archaeology look at her now
02:57:38.440she is making her challenge to join the new world
02:57:44.440her greatest enemy is illiteracy she has started to beat it by building 4 000 new schools in a year
02:57:52.680schools for adults as well as children
02:57:54.920look at that not just schools for children he was building schools for adults so that
02:58:03.560people adults could also be educated guys 4 000 schools a year is insane again i was i was in
02:58:13.160government i was in government for seven years as an elected member okay 10 years in total i was in
02:58:19.160politics. My biggest accomplishment, like my biggest goal as a politician was to build schools
02:58:29.560in my riding, okay? And I said to myself, you know, if I can, you know, get at least funding
02:58:36.840to build one school a year, I'll be happy. The Ontario government, okay, it's, like I'm trying
02:58:46.000think of like how many how many new schools are are announced a year um it's like maybe 200 and
02:58:55.760200 is upper so think about that the ontario government right now you know canada is a modern
02:59:01.360uh you know first world country developed whatever the ontario government can barely budget
02:59:07.760building 200 new schools a year not counting all the renovations or whatever that you know
02:59:13.840needs to be done for the pre-existing schools okay so in 2025 the ontario government in canada
02:59:21.680can barely afford to build 200 schools a year in 1971 in iran the shah of iran was building a0.61
02:59:33.760minimum of 4 000 schools a year and not just for children but for adults like it's insane guys i'm0.89
02:59:42.800telling you like this is like unheard of unheard of governments don't do that but the shah was doing0.59
02:59:48.960that he was working hard towards educating the people he wanted to beat literacy if you remember
02:59:56.240in the parade that we were watching there was a specific um branch of the army that he called the
03:00:03.440peace army remember men and women who were employed by the army to go out and combat illiteracy
03:00:11.760to combat famine to combat poverty so all these schools he was building this was all
03:00:19.280the work of the the peace army right the the peace army that he had that you saw walking through the
03:00:24.800parade and yet the islamists and the communists call him a dictator do you see the lies do you
03:00:33.040see the takia but this video is the truth this video is what they don't want you to see what
03:00:40.800they don't want you to know about her other enemy is her scarcity of water
03:00:48.080by building great dams persia's water too is being brought under control
03:00:54.720so he was combating illiteracy by building at least 4 000 schools a year he was building dams
03:01:02.720right and building dams to combat lack of water and the problem had been resolved you know one
03:01:09.440one of the biggest problems right now in occupied Iran is lack of water. The Islamic Republic
03:01:13.380has mismanaged the infrastructure that the Shah built, by the way, because the Islamic Republic0.95
03:01:18.500hasn't built anything. They're corrupt. They're uneducated. They're completely incompetent.0.99
03:01:24.060All they do is they steal Iranian people's money, they fund terrorism, and then they murder any1.00
03:01:30.840Iranians who speak out. That's what the Islamic Republic is known for. They have mismanaged the0.99
03:01:37.980infrastructure that the Shah built 50, 60 years ago so bad that Iranians now don't have access
03:01:46.500to clean water. I don't know if you guys know this, but there has been a water shortage in Iran
03:01:51.040for a year now. She is moving fast into heavy industry. The country has to do a lot yet to
03:01:59.620catch up industrially with the Western world. But one of the wonders of her is that this old0.99
03:02:05.080sleeping beauty is now awake so much and keep in mind this is from 1971 the strides right the
03:02:16.360strides that the shot took from 1971 to 1979 in those eight years exponential growth right
03:02:25.040exponential growth which is happening so quickly0.53
03:02:29.440her modern spirit was first aroused during the reign of the present shah's father
03:02:37.520during the celebrations of the 2500 anniversary his son remembered him
03:02:45.040in tehran guys just so just a quick tidbit for you guys if you don't know we actually
03:02:55.760you know we have a specific name for the pahlavi dynasty right for um the you know shahan and then
03:03:04.860his father um rizal shah the great and of course the current shah in exile rizal shah the second
03:03:10.360we have a specific name for them i'll say it in in persian and then i'll translate it so
03:03:15.080uh in persian we say hondon it you know which means the iran building pahlavi dynasty
03:03:25.080why because the pahlavi dynasty is known for modernizing iran and taking iran from the
03:03:32.600backwards country it was to a modern developing country and if the islamic republic had not taken
03:03:41.800over iran today would have been the japan or the singapore of the middle east that was the0.96
03:03:48.040trajectory that iran was on until the islamic republic came in and everything went to hell0.81
03:03:55.400and then sharia law came in right the cavalcade of cars swept towards the mausoleum of reza shah0.93
03:04:02.120the great his son wished to do honor to the memory of his father the ceremony was solemn and short
03:04:11.560most of us would wish to pay our own respects to our own fathers his own had founded a new
03:04:17.960in Persia. The Persian people already call him Reza the Great.
03:04:47.960After that, the climax of the celebrations.
03:05:08.300The first glimpse of the floodlit monument outside the airport of Tehran in honor of the present Shah.
03:05:17.960So is, I think, wasn't Borja Shahyad built that year? Wait, let me see if I can find it.
03:05:35.840Where was it built? Let's see. 19, okay.
03:05:38.980okay oh wow okay so i was right so um the so this tower that you're about to see
03:05:47.300is an iconic part of iran so um it's called the the shahyad tower um that's the that's the real
03:05:58.320name of it when the islam the islamists took over when the islamic regime took over they changed
03:06:03.780its name to like freedom tower uh which is actually very very hypocritical because iran0.79
03:06:10.260is currently under occupation by a brutal islamic dictatorship uh but that's what the islamists do0.90
03:06:15.380the islamists and communists right they come in they invade they erase and they change names right0.94
03:06:21.220they change everything in order to erase your history because they want to to take over but um0.96
03:06:26.900Yeah, so this Shah Yudh Tower was commissioned by the Shah, and it was inaugurated in 1971 during the 2,500-year anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire.
03:06:42.980So it's so cool that we're seeing all of this, and it's so cool that, you know, he had the foresight to plan all of this and just have it all line up perfectly.
03:06:54.980below the monument is a museum of persian art so this is the inauguration of shalia tower wow
03:19:16.840there is nothing good i'm going to say this and i'll go back to this1.00
03:19:20.200not a single good positive thing has come from the islamic republic i challenge anyone to show me0.90
03:19:28.920one thing that the Islamic Republic has done that helps the Iranian people or advances Iran in one0.52
03:19:38.280way or another. There is literally nothing that anyone can point to because the Islamic Republic0.93
03:19:43.820has not contributed a single positive thing to the country. The Islamic Republic is a demonic1.00
03:19:49.800parasite that has taken and taken and taken and murdered and stolen.1.00
03:19:59.600The Shah arrived. They seem to be all there.0.98
03:20:05.420One more thing as well, before I forget again, like so much, you guys don't know.
03:20:11.580Take a look at the people in the stadium. You're going to see men and women.
03:20:14.880Um, when the Islamic Republic came to power in 1979, they banned women from soccer stadiums and sports stadiums. So as of 1979, women are not allowed to attend sporting matches because that's against Sharia law.
03:20:32.640And I would love for the Muslims in the comments to answer me why that is.
03:20:39.200Why can women not go to sporting stadiums?
03:20:41.960And by the way, if Iran was always a Muslim country and governed by Sharia law, then why0.84
03:20:50.100is it that women prior to 1979 were treated equally, didn't have to wear hijab, and they
03:20:58.560But after 1979, they can't anymore.1.00
03:21:02.640I would love for someone to explain to me why women are not allowed to attend sporting stadiums.0.97
03:21:08.200These like these are the things that non-Iranians don't know.
03:21:11.140Like there's so many little like aspects of day to day life that I don't even think about like commenting on because it's just like it's common knowledge for us that in Iran, women are not allowed to attend sporting events.
03:21:26.720Right. Whereas anyone in a, you know, Western country would be like, what the hell are you talking about?
03:21:32.200right i mean i've had the privilege of going to like hockey games and basketball games and0.89
03:21:37.960baseball games and i say it's a privilege because women in iran don't have that right0.95
03:21:42.760they don't have the right why because it's it's haram like this is the insanity of the islamic0.97
03:21:47.720Republic, guys. Oh, sorry. Got a super chat here. Look, haters. Oh, Mossad money. Woo. We're in your1.00
03:22:06.160thank you guys okay i guess i guess that's that there's proof that uh um i'm funded by massad
03:22:16.060i love i love me some israeli shekels thank you so much for the support i i think your name is
03:22:22.960yov i can't i can't read hebrew yet um but thank you for the support i'm yisrael high
03:23:05.060well, I mean, this is comment more for the Iranians who are watching, but this is making me nostalgic
03:23:11.360for an Iran that I never had the opportunity to experience, right? Like, this is what we're
03:23:18.280fighting for. We're fighting for a normal and free country. It's like, the level of oppression
03:23:26.020and evil and um destruction by the islamic republic you guys have no idea you guys have1.00
03:23:36.540no idea like just seeing this scene of the grand opening of guys i've been to hundreds of grand
03:23:43.760openings as a politician right i've been to grand openings for so many things businesses schools
03:23:48.280hotels hotels um stadiums like parks anything and everything you can think of i've been to grand
03:23:54.000openings um you know as an elected official i've been invited never gotten emotional because you
03:23:59.520know it's a grand opening great cool but this this is making me very emotional right now like i'm
03:24:04.800getting goosebumps just just watching this because um yeah like like this is what this is what our
03:24:12.400country was. And the Islamists and communists took this away from us.
03:24:32.200Oh, guys, guys, guys, guys, you see that? You see the lion and sun flag? See that?0.96
03:24:38.240I love that. I love that. That's the Iran that I want, guys. That's the Iran that I want. Modern, secular, free, happy, joyful. That's the Iran that I want. That's what we're fighting for. I can't wait to see that flag back in Iran raising high.
03:25:08.240swinging heavy clubs is a traditional sport oh guys okay so this is a zurkhune i'll find
03:25:16.020some videos for you guys for for another time but um zurkhune it's like a it's like um like an
03:25:23.260iranian iranian weightlifting okay think of like iranian weightlifting and and zurkhune is uh it's
03:25:29.960basically like a gym i guess like like a traditional iranian gym um where men would go
03:25:36.400and they would lift certain weights to work out you're gonna it's actually really hard to do like
03:25:40.160they've uh there's a video where they try to get like um bodybuilders to do this and the
03:25:46.080bodybuilders can't i'll see if i can find some videos and show you but uh yeah like again so the
03:25:52.000is something very traditional it goes back like thousands of years right so 3 000 years or so
03:25:58.160um the zurhune's have been around so it's uh you know we we even we even had like
03:26:04.080gyms gyms 3 000 years ago maybe we invented the concept of gyms too and okay guys again
03:26:11.280do you see the women see all the women and notice how they're all dressed normally right1.00
03:26:17.600some with hijabs some without but you don't see any of those like black garbage bags all1.00
03:26:24.480all around like people are dressed normally and everyone is free to to dress however they want1.00
03:31:58.220Iranian women are not even allowed to be inside of a stadium in Iran, let alone dancing and not wearing a mask.0.67
03:32:23.560This could be any country, you could be watching something in the United States or in Europe or Japan or something, you can't know that this is Yvonne, because Yvonne was a normal, western country.0.66
03:44:58.800is the one that continued his father's role and path to modernizing iran as you saw with the0.90
03:45:05.200stadium um with with the shahia tower and he is the one that the islamists vilify
03:45:14.240he was building you saw you guys you saw in the video the video said it not me he was building
03:45:21.520minimum 4 000 schools per year to combat illiteracy0.52
03:45:30.480does a dictator do that instead the islamic republic is shutting down schools0.92
03:45:39.040and in fact encouraging iranian girls to end their education sooner and go get married and0.98
03:45:45.760have children the islamic republic is literally encouraging um child marriages that's how sick0.86
03:45:52.160and backwards those people are and what happened to iran in 1979 is the biggest downgrade the1.00
03:46:01.600single biggest downgrade in the history of human civilization and i will have a lot to stay on that
03:46:07.680but today is his birthday i wanted to watch that video i figured i would stream it i'm glad you
03:46:16.000guys join me it seems that there's a lot of interest in seeing these sorts of videos of
03:46:22.300you know iran before 1979 um and what's really interesting is that i'm literally sharing history
03:46:30.720and yet there are still people in the chat who are triggered and are calling it propaganda
03:46:36.100it's it's wild to me right but like i hope i hope for you non-iranians i know jewish people
03:46:41.980understand so anyone who's jewish understands exactly what we're going through because you
03:46:46.100guys deal with it too right like the islamists and the commies and the anti-semites all come
03:46:50.860after you right i mean you breathe and it's like genocide right like at this point like the very
03:46:55.420existence of a jewish person you'd be accused of genocide by existing it's it's not insane the
03:47:00.860you know the the attacks against you guys but but we get the same attacks from a different
03:47:06.380side of things and as you can tell for those of you watching on youtube looking at the live chat
03:47:11.900um i just shared a historical video right like there was nothing political about it i shared a
03:47:18.860historical video and then i explained what iran was like prior to 1979 versus what iran is like0.86
03:47:27.820now as it is occupied by a brutal islamic dictatorship that is murdering us every day
03:47:34.220and yet that is still controversial for the trolls right so i think i might do more of these videos0.92
03:47:41.260because this is what this is what they don't want you to see this is what they don't want you to
03:47:46.220know about they want you to think that the shah was a dictator because they had to that was the
03:47:53.260lie that the islamists and communists used to gain legitimacy their movement gained0.92
03:48:01.580legitimacy from foreigners and you know politicians and whatever because they spread the
03:48:09.340lie that the shah was a dictator and unfortunately foreigners and foreign governments bought it and
03:48:16.540And, of course, Jimmy Carter. Biggest idiot. May he burn in hell.1.00
03:48:22.740We love Ronald Reagan. We love Ronald Reagan. Jimmy Carter and Democrats.1.00
03:48:29.500No. And we love Trump as well, of course. So, I mean, Republicans, Republicans are always great.
03:48:35.720Republicans have always been the enemy of Iran. Democrats have always been sorry, not enemy.
03:48:42.320my apologies republicans have always been um supportive of iran and iranian people democrats

03:50:58.960All these Islamists are connected, guys. And they always attack us. They attack us because1.00
03:51:05.400they view Iran as an ATM. They view Iran as a paycheck. And they don't want us to liberate our
