Goldie Ghamari - WATCH FIRST： 1979 Islamic Revolution Explained by an Iranian： The Last Persian Shah (3⧸10)

00:00:00.000 We'll be right back.

00:00:30.000 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 Thank you.

00:01:30.000 Thank you.

00:02:00.000 Thank you.

00:02:30.000 Thank you.

00:03:00.000 Thank you.

00:03:30.000 We'll be right back.

00:04:00.000 Thank you.

00:04:30.000 well hello everyone good evening good evening good morning good afternoon wherever you are

00:04:52.560 thank you for joining me um so i've decided to try something new

00:04:56.640 A lot of people have been asking me about the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

00:05:04.540 I prefer to call it a coup d'etat, an occupation, but of course it's more commonly known as the Islamic Revolution or the Iranian Revolution. 0.90

00:05:14.880 Again, I don't like the word Iranian because I'm Iranian and my country is being occupied by a brutal Islamic dictatorship.

00:05:22.860 A lot of people have asked me about it, asked me to explain, you know, because there is a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there.

00:05:33.440 You know, everyone under the sun seems to have an opinion on Iran.

00:05:38.940 And yet you rarely hear from actual Iranians.

00:05:43.480 You know, the documentaries that we have about the Islamic revolution are all in Farsi.

00:05:48.840 they are typically accurate but of course they're in Farsi so there is a language barrier there

00:05:54.400 so at first I was thinking that I would you know do my own episode or you know produce something

00:06:04.900 myself to explain the Islamic revolution but you know I'm not a film director I don't have the

00:06:10.780 resources and that would be like a massive project but there is a wealth of knowledge and information

00:06:18.220 out there. So instead, what I'm going to do and I'm going to try I'm going to try this for a few

00:06:25.140 a few evenings. And let's see how it goes. So instead, what I'm going to do is I'm going to

00:06:33.560 take the documentaries that are already available. I'm going to watch them. And I will give my

00:06:41.860 comments and my thoughts and my feedback as I'm watching them and I will record myself doing so

00:06:49.580 and then I will give it a rating I think maybe a rating out of 10

00:06:55.140 so rating out of 10 and then that way um you guys can know if that documentary is good or not

00:07:04.900 or you know if there are any parts of the documentary that may not be entirely accurate

00:07:10.420 it or, you know, needs more context or something, right? And I figured, why reinvent the wheel

00:07:16.860 when it's already there? So before I begin, I just want to say something in Farsi because

00:07:21.040 I know I do have a lot of Iranian followers. So if you just bear with me for a moment.

00:08:09.300 and if you can see it, you can see it in the comments, if you can see it, you can see it on YouTube, the link is on the right side, and I will leave this channel to see it,

00:08:26.300 this is the YouTube account, if you can see it, you can see it on YouTube, that you can see it on the right side,

00:08:36.300 All right. So for the non-Iranians, see, I do speak Farsi. Now you guys know. Now you guys know.

00:08:44.960 See, everyone, everyone always thinks just because I speak English with no accent that either I'm not Iranian or I don't speak Farsi or I don't understand the language.

00:08:55.420 Fun fact, I do. And I speak pretty well for someone who has lived in Canada most of her life. But there you go.

00:09:01.920 um so basically i asked um all of the um uh iranians who are watching me on you on um on

00:09:11.420 x because i do broadcast this live stream on x as well i just asked them to come and join me

00:09:16.480 on youtube so that you can also get their input in the live chat as we watch this together and

00:09:23.900 also um for for future people who are watching and are not joining the live stream but want to

00:09:28.660 watch later, they will also be able to see people's comments on YouTube, whereas on X,

00:09:34.560 you can't see people's comments. So that's basically what I said. Okay, so we are going to

00:09:41.340 start with this documentary for the sole purpose that it just popped up on my YouTube feed.

00:09:49.160 So this is the, it's a documentary from an account called War Stories. It has 1.2 million subscribers.

00:09:56.820 And so they have something called the 1979 Iranian Revolution Explained.

00:10:02.440 Again, I hate the word Iranian because it wasn't an Iranian revolution.

00:10:08.600 It was an Islamic revolution.

00:10:11.380 There was nothing Iranian about the Islamic Republic. 0.52

00:10:15.020 The Islamic Republic even got rid of our flag.

00:10:18.200 This is the flag of Iran prior to 1979, okay?

00:10:21.700 That flag right there, that's the real flag of Iran. 0.83

00:10:24.740 The Islamists replaced this flag with the Allahu Akbar flag in Arabic, right?

00:10:32.980 And again, we're Iranian, we speak Persian, we don't speak Arabic.

00:10:37.080 So why the heck does our flag have Arabic writing on it? 0.63

00:10:41.600 Again, it just goes to show it's the Islamic revolution, or coup d'etat, as I like to call it. 0.97

00:10:47.580 There's nothing Iranian about them.

00:10:49.220 In fact, they are anti-Iranian.

00:10:51.480 Anyways, so the description here says, Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi's story begins with good ideas and ideals and ends in bloody chaos.

00:11:02.280 On the one hand, he helped carry Iran into modernity.

00:11:05.640 His wealth was legendary and his marriages made tabloid headlines for years. 0.90

00:11:10.220 However, his name also stands for a time of human rights violations.

00:11:14.140 Again, right there, right there, the human rights violations is propaganda.

00:11:18.540 I spoke about this yesterday in my live streams, okay? And I pointed out that these were the lies that the Islamists and the communists used to justify taking over Iran, right? And then again, vicious oppression and intolerance. Again, these are lies. 0.77

00:11:35.580 So right away, this is incredibly frustrating to me as an Iranian because, you know, this human rights violations, vicious oppression and intolerance, it didn't happen.

00:11:49.040 It didn't happen. So I actually, if you haven't seen it already, yesterday I live streamed all of these interviews with the Shah because yesterday was his birthday and we love the Shah.

00:12:04.160 so if you want to you definitely want to go and check out this video after so watch party

00:12:10.280 1970s interviews with the Shah okay that one right there bookmark that and you want to watch that

00:12:17.540 later because I go through all of this BS nonsense right like all of these unfounded claims of human

00:12:25.020 rights violations and vicious oppression and like none of it happened okay already I'm not liking

00:12:31.980 this. Had Rizal Pahlavi not come to power, it's unlikely that radical Islam would have the

00:12:39.580 widespread political and brutal effects it has today. Again, that's another lie. That's this 0.88

00:12:45.120 information. The reason that Rizal Pahlavi, his father, came to power is because of the, you know,

00:12:50.940 the majlis at the time voted him in, right? It was a democratic process. Anyway, so already in

00:12:59.020 this documentary, I can see just in the, just in the description itself, I'm already seeing like

00:13:07.680 all of the disinformation and the propaganda that the Islamists and the communists have been putting 0.59

00:13:14.120 out there for over 50 years, right? And it seems like everyone's just sort of eating it up. And 0.65

00:13:19.400 you know, this, this, what is it, this particular video, how many views does it have? I can't see

00:13:26.640 how many views it has anyways so it's frustrating and i can tell you as an iranian i don't normally 0.96

00:13:33.520 watch videos about the 1979 islamic revolution because it is horrifying right it is it is

00:13:40.560 horrifying it's very personal it's very personal to all of us and it is like watching a horror movie

00:13:49.200 because you know how it's going to end it's going to end in despair it's going to end in death it's

00:13:54.320 It's going to end in destruction and you see all the signs, but there's nothing you can do to to stop it.

00:14:02.100 Right. So, yeah, but, you know, I am going to watch these videos, no matter how depressing they are, because I think it's also important to to have the truth out there, because I really do believe that knowledge is power.

00:14:19.940 And I really do believe that knowing what actually happened in 1979 will make it easier for Iranians to reclaim their country and take it back from the Islamic colonizers who have been holding us hostage for the last 47 years. 0.87

00:14:47.500 So this is why I'm going to be watching every single documentary I can find on YouTube and 0.88

00:14:55.100 elsewhere. And if you guys have any documentaries that you want me to watch as well, and you know,

00:15:02.380 give my thoughts and opinions on, please let me know, put a link, maybe not in the live chat,

00:15:08.540 but in the comments, or you know, elsewhere. And I'll watch them. I'll watch them, I will,

00:15:15.980 if there's interest, I will watch one every single night. And I will give you my honest

00:15:23.200 thoughts and comments as we're watching it. Because one of the things I find very frustrating,

00:15:28.240 especially, you know, in, I guess, English language, is that all of these non-Iranians 1.00

00:15:37.020 have an opinion on what happened. But you rarely hear from actual Iranians, you rarely hear from 0.99

00:15:44.340 the common people, right? You hear from the Islamists, you hear from the communists,

00:15:49.600 you hear from the Marxists, but you rarely ever hear the truth from people who have been deeply

00:15:55.920 impacted by it. So this is my way of being a voice for the silent majority. And as you can see,

00:16:02.200 there are a lot of Iranians who are joining us in the live chat as well. So make sure

00:16:10.600 that you are paying attention. And, you know, there's also going to be a lot of trolls, guys.

00:16:15.420 There's also going to be a lot of trolls. For some reason, the trolls always come out. And the

00:16:20.280 reason they come out, guys, is because they support the Islamic Republic. They support the 0.84

00:16:26.220 violent oppression of Iranians. And many of them aren't even Iranian, right? These are non-Iranians 1.00

00:16:32.860 who support Islamic oppression. So these are the people who support 1.00

00:16:36.620 um the people who are murdering me and and other Iranians so what's the proof that I'm Iranian 0.97

00:16:45.880 I don't even think your name is Iranian buddy and that's the thing like again people are gonna be

00:16:54.940 like oh you're Iranian whatever anyway so there you go so this is the first documentary we're

00:16:58.520 going to be watching again um dostan agar khe shuma darin as uh twitter naga

00:17:04.280 mikonin agar khe ni tounin da baratun sakh nes latofan be ma tui youtube

00:17:10.040 bepayvandin khe komentatun o ahm gayri iraniya tui youtube bebinan link

00:17:15.900 youtube am ah zira hamin post roi x hast me tounin onja klik ish bokunin

00:17:20.720 Okay, let us begin with the first one.

00:17:37.040 Okay, let's go back.

00:17:42.940 All right.

00:17:44.120 This is going to be hard, guys.

00:17:45.340 This is going to be hard.

00:17:46.100 I'm telling you, this is, listen, there's a lot of things that I can handle.

00:17:49.500 i have thick skin i was in politics for 10 years i was an elected official for seven of those years

00:17:55.340 i can pretty much handle anything but this this one is tough because this is this is very personal

00:18:01.340 it hits deep and it's even it's hard because we know how it ends we know how it ends and

00:18:07.180 knowing everything we know now oh it's hard to watch all right here we go

00:18:11.740 in 1979 a revolution topples iranian ruler shah mohammed resa pahlavi and with that a monarchy

00:18:23.260 of more than 2 500 years i have it to next uh nicht an einem umbruch geglaubt

00:18:32.100 that's the way authoritarian regimes fall first gradually and then suddenly okay so already that 0.97

00:18:40.740 Iranian man, I don't like him. I don't like him because he already is saying that the Shah had 0.86

00:18:47.460 an authoritarian regime, which is the farthest thing from the truth. So that guy is probably

00:18:54.220 like an Islamist or most likely like a communist. We unfortunately have a lot of far leftists who

00:19:04.080 support the Islamists, right? And the other thing is the monarchy never ended. That is 0.67

00:19:10.040 false. That is completely false. I've said this before, but let me pull it up again.

00:19:18.220 There we go. I never know what I'm going to need. So I always have to play it by ear. But here we

00:19:28.780 go. So, um, this is what happened. Okay. Um, let me remove this. Okay. So the first thing you need

00:19:42.780 to know is that the Shah never abdicated. He never gave up his throne. Okay. So when he left 0.69

00:19:50.300 Iran, he had stage four leukemia and he was going to get treatment. Okay. And then when he eventually

00:19:58.580 left. He never abdicated. He just left. Okay. So that's the first thing. The second thing is

00:20:05.200 when Shah and Shah Aryamir passed away, his son, the crown prince at the time,

00:20:14.000 Prince Reza Pahlavi, who is currently the Shah in exile of Iran, he actually swore,

00:20:20.880 he swore the the oath of of succession and here you can see in in 1980 it says

00:20:30.540 in the kube palace in cairo october 31 1980 reza is 20 and officially succeeds his father do you

00:20:40.520 see that so so right away saying that the monarchy was ended is a lie and that's one of the

00:20:50.700 frustrating things. The succession line never ended. And you can see right here in 1980. So

00:20:58.020 that's the first piece of this information, which I wanted to point out right there. And that's

00:21:03.720 unfortunately one of those lies, right? And Human, you're right. The constitution of Iran was never

00:21:13.020 removed. And Omid is saying Carter backstabbed him. He said, sure, you come to the US, we will

00:21:19.940 help treat you that this is this is this is this is exactly what happened and we will get into

00:21:25.580 carter the backstabber we hate carter we hate carter we love we love richard nixon richard 0.98

00:21:30.840 nixon was an ally and a friend of the shah but jimmy carter may he rot in hell um there you go 0.67

00:21:36.940 yeah so you guys like listen to what the iranians are saying in the chat because they're adding a 0.91

00:21:40.800 lot of very very good um information here and you know mods feel free to ban any trolls like 0.71

00:21:49.120 we're going to get a lot of trolls in the YouTube chat, you know, all of the free ballastine jihadis

00:21:54.420 and whatever. So just feel free to ban and block at will. Like, I don't even want them in the chat

00:21:59.940 right now. So that would be a huge help to me. Okay, so there you go. That's the first lie.

00:22:06.720 So already, like my alarm bells here are ringing, right, are ringing because you have this leftist

00:22:15.720 who's calling the Shah an authoritarian, right?

00:22:18.700 So this is where the false narrative of like,

00:22:22.180 the Shah was a dictator comes from.

00:22:24.480 And it's these communists and leftists 0.97

00:22:27.440 and progressives and Islamists

00:22:28.820 who have dominated the narrative for 47 years.

00:22:35.300 The Shah's mistake was to want to do too much too fast.

00:22:41.620 Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, Persia's last emperor,

00:22:44.580 was a key figure in world politics in the second half of the 20th century did you did you see that

00:22:50.920 guys did you see how um did you notice the american flag there let me go back this is what

00:22:56.960 a lot of people don't realize okay let me go back here um where was i yeah there you go so

00:23:07.000 do you see the american flag in the bottom corner there and who is he with i can't tell who he's

00:23:15.120 with this was either his this was either his uh visit to america with jimmy carter or richard

00:23:22.440 nixon i can't i can't tell which visit this was but this would have been in in the um in the late

00:23:28.220 70s for sure all right 20th century we love this opponent by the way we love the shah this is a

00:23:39.560 this is a pro shah channel so if you're going to come in and say the shah was a dictator blah blah

00:23:45.860 blah um mods just mute them they can listen but i don't want them spamming the chat with all their 0.56

00:23:51.780 like jihadi communist nonsense nixon is a good guy carter is about this guy right here this guy's 0.59

00:23:57.460 evil by the way like i don't understand just i mean you can just just looking at him you can tell 0.99

00:24:04.280 that this is an evil demonic um demon like this guy is the vilest human being ever he is worse 0.90

00:24:12.860 than hitler right i don't understand how anyone could look at him and think yeah he seems like a 1.00

00:24:18.920 nice man he seems like a nice guy like jimmy carter was the biggest idiot i'm just saying 0.96

00:24:23.680 that right now like um yeah alex you're right this guy this guy here could literally teach 0.98

00:24:30.500 the devil on how to be evil that's how bad this guy is the ayatollah becomes the bearer of hope

00:24:39.100 for all those who are against the Shah. 0.89

00:24:42.340 They became very fierce antagonists, absolutely.

00:24:55.520 And the Shah developed an almost obsession with them.

00:24:59.880 Their rivalry lasted for almost their entire lives.

00:25:03.200 So that's historical revisionism. 0.89

00:25:07.200 The Shah...

00:25:09.100 did not have an obsession with the Islamists and communists. 0.80

00:25:12.860 It was the other way around.

00:25:14.540 The communists and Islamists had an obsession with overthrowing the Shah

00:25:19.340 because they wanted to turn Iran into an Islamic caliphate. 0.78

00:25:24.720 Okay? 0.51

00:25:25.380 They even attempted several assassination attempts against the Shah,

00:25:30.060 and the Shah forgave them.

00:25:32.000 He literally forgave the people who tried to assassinate him.

00:25:35.540 so how is it that the shah was obsessed it was the islamists who were obsessed it's the islamists 0.96

00:25:42.700 who are obsessed today as well with taking over america so already like that that guy is pissing

00:25:49.700 me off i don't know i guess they're going to introduce and see who he is but like these so

00:25:53.800 that guy is the example of like the the vocal minority uh on the left right like the iranian

00:26:00.120 left who were actually instrumental in bringing the islamic republic to power because they have

00:26:07.400 pahlavi derangement syndrome you know how like um a lot of the woke left people just absolutely

00:26:14.600 hate trump for no reason and you know they have trump derangement syndrome imagine that times a

00:26:21.560 thousand for the last like 60 70 years it's pahlavi derangement syndrome these people just

00:26:27.160 absolutely despise despise the shah and they will lie to get their way they were literally willing 0.61

00:26:34.680 to turn iran into an islamic caliphate in order to get rid of the shah that is how dangerous 0.93

00:26:39.960 these leftists are all right let's continue i i don't like that guy the mustache guy 0.71

00:26:45.320 so already this documentary to me like you know i start at a 10 out of 10 it for me already right

00:26:51.560 now it's like at a three it's a three for me at this at this moment and this is why this is one

00:26:57.320 of the reasons why i i refuse to watch english documentaries about the islamic revolution because

00:27:04.600 it's usually full of misinformation and it's usually dominated by the leftists and their

00:27:10.280 lies right anyways in the end the shah is defeated the ayatollah is victorious and with him islamic 0.89

00:27:18.360 fundamentalism a new challenge for world politics

00:27:36.440 so the documentary is called okay i didn't know that so the documentary is called the last persian

00:27:42.840 Shah. I mean, even the title is wrong because we actually do have a Shah right now. He swore the

00:27:52.840 succession oath in 1980. I just showed you the video. I'm sorry. I showed you the screen share

00:27:58.080 of that. So there you go. I see there's a lot more people who have joined on X. So I'm just

00:28:06.980 gonna let me see how many people are watching on X right now. Okay, so I'm just gonna remind

00:28:13.220 people on X because we have like 500 almost 600 people watching on X.

00:28:18.180 Friends, if you are Iranian and you can see this on Twitter, if you can see us on YouTube, please give us a link to our YouTube channel that the other Iranian comments will also see that only I don't know, but I don't know if you can.

00:28:37.420 All right, let's let's get started now.

00:28:56.420 In September 1941, a young man becomes the new ruler of Iran.

00:29:01.420 Okay, this is important. This is really important because this, in and of itself, okay, automatically destroys the false narrative and Russian disinformation propaganda that the Islamists and communists put out.

00:29:17.380 You know how they say, oh, the CIA, you know, got rid of Mossadir and they installed the Shah in 1953. 0.97

00:29:26.460 You know, like that stupid story they keep on spouting, which is actually complete nonsense. 0.97

00:29:32.160 The reason it's nonsense is because the Shah became the Shah in 1941. 1.00

00:29:38.080 So how the hell could he be installed by the CIA in 1953?

00:29:43.820 This is the problem with people who don't understand anything about Iranian politics or how how the democratically elected parliament worked. Right. So right here, they say not. I'm not saying it. They're saying it. The Shah was, you know, he started his reign in 1941. That in and of itself flies in the face of all of the Mossad nonsense. Right.

00:30:05.940 Right. But again, you're going to have the low IQ propagandists who keep on talking about

00:30:12.400 1953. And, you know, they always say Mossadegh, but they could never name any other prime

00:30:20.040 minister of Iran. Like, how come these people never talk about Hovedah? How come they never

00:30:24.620 talk about the fact that Hovedah was prime minister and then the Islamists murdered Hovedah?

00:30:30.020 They never speak about Hovedah. They could never name any other Iranian prime minister

00:30:35.940 They only talk about Mossadegh because that's just the Russian communist Islamist disinformation that has been propagating for over 50 years. 0.80

00:30:44.800 And no one's been able to counter it because actual Iranians have never had a voice. 0.75

00:30:49.780 So there you go. 1.00

00:31:23.820 you go you can also be a member if you like all right let's continue at just 21 years of age

00:31:30.060 Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi is sworn in as the new head of state in the...

00:31:34.620 Oh my gosh. Okay. I just want to point this out. Okay. I said that I'm only going to broadcast

00:31:40.060 starred comments, but this one is too important. This one is too important not to share. So Matt,

00:31:49.480 you are 100% correct. Jimmy Carter helped facilitate the Muslim revolution at the behest 1.00

00:31:56.100 of his Soviet overlords. I'm old enough to remember when it happened, Carter was a traitor 0.95

00:32:00.900 to the Persian people. You are 100% correct. This is what people don't understand. The reason that 1.00

00:32:05.780 Jimmy Carter supported the Ayatollah is because the Soviets convinced him that the Ayatollah did

00:32:13.160 not support communism, right? And I actually have an independent video and I've spoken about it

00:32:18.240 before, but you are 100% correct. The Islamic Republic, okay, the people who founded the

00:32:24.600 Islamic Republic in 1979 were all trained and funded by the Soviets, okay? Jimmy Carter was a

00:32:33.280 useful idiot to the Soviets. Jimmy Carter was too stupid to realize what was going on. If Ronald 1.00

00:32:43.520 Reagan, sorry, if Richard Nixon had still been in office when all of this was happening, 0.94

00:32:49.960 the Islamic Revolution would have never happened because Richard Nixon was friends with the Shah

00:32:54.500 Richard Nixon also understood how the Soviets operate, right? Jimmy Carter being an idiot, right? He's just a stupid idiot, actually believed the Soviets when they said, oh, no, we're not connected to Khomeini. We're not connected. He's not a communist. Jimmy Carter believed them. 1.00

00:33:15.440 And then as soon as the Islamic Republic took over, they took the American hostages and then they sided with the Soviets at the time. I mean, look at the Islamic Republic right now. The Islamic Republic is allies with Russia and with China, the two biggest communist powers in the world. 0.95

00:33:34.880 that's not by coincidence guys it's because the 1979 islamic revolution was funded by the soviets 0.98

00:33:42.640 and jimmy carter and the democrats were useful idiots for the soviets at the time matt you are 0.57

00:33:48.640 100 right in this comment i just wanted to share that because it is so important and i'm glad 0.95

00:33:54.720 someone gets it and understands it so um yeah thank you for that all right let's continue

00:34:01.360 iranian parliament in the middle of the second world war okay let's go back a little bit because

00:34:06.800 you know they talk guys this is important this part's important this part's important right in

00:34:11.280 1941 they're referring to the iranian parliament so how the hell how the hell could he have been

00:34:17.120 authoritarian if there was an iranian parliament right like this is a level of misinformation

00:34:22.480 that we iranians have to constantly deal with in september 1941 a young man becomes the new ruler

00:34:30.160 of iran at just 21 years of age shah mohammed resa pahlavi is sworn in as the new head of state

00:34:37.120 in the iranian parliament in the middle of the second world war

00:34:46.480 his father resa shah pahlavi had remained neutral but he made no secret of his sympathies for the

00:34:53.280 nazi regime the allies that's another lie that is another huge huge lie okay in fact during world war

00:35:05.440 ii iran took in thousands of jewish refugees and helped them escape the holocaust so it is 0.69

00:35:16.640 absolutely ridiculous to claim that he he was a sympathizer with the nazis again that is literally

00:35:24.720 false information because it it just never happened right iran was neutral during world

00:35:32.800 war ii iran was neutral just like switzerland but no one ever says how come no one ever says

00:35:42.640 that switzerland sympathized with the nazis how come they don't say that but iran was neutral and

00:35:51.280 so somehow because iran was neutral they they were nazi sympathizers why does sweden get one standard

00:35:58.960 sorry why does uh switzerland get one standard but iran gets another again this is part of the

00:36:06.000 so wherever they're getting their sources from here like they're probably they're probably getting

00:36:11.600 their sources from the leftists here right because the woke left iranians i would say are probably

00:36:18.640 like they're worse and they are more dangerous than the islamic republic because the woke left

00:36:25.600 have infiltrated academia and so most non-iranians will believe the marxists and socialists and 0.50

00:36:34.880 communists iranians because they think oh the guy's an academic right meanwhile the rest of us

00:36:40.400 we hate communists and socialists and marxists right so that right there that is the narrative

00:36:47.120 that is used by the iranian left to try and delegitimize the monarchy

00:36:58.400 such nonsense demanded his resignation

00:37:01.040 Since Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union, the British and the Americans depend on Iran

00:37:10.960 for the transport of heavy war materials to Russia, for the fight against the German Reich.

00:37:31.040 He also said, you have to take it here, you stay here.

00:37:36.220 Mohammed Reza had been prepared for this task by his father from an early age.

00:37:40.920 I find it really interesting.

00:37:43.540 Okay, so this is an English documentary, and yet they can't find any English speakers.

00:37:50.700 Or they can't find, you know, more than one Iranian English speaker to talk about what's happening.

00:37:56.460 It's very, very bizarre. Like this random German woman is speaking about the Islamic Revolution. No, you know, no hate, no hate. But this is the problem because there are so many non-Iranians who have an opinion on what happened. 0.60

00:38:12.500 And most of the time, it's factually inaccurate because their opinions are informed by the woke, progressive, radical left, or it's informed by the Islamists, right? 0.98

00:38:28.260 So frustrating.

00:38:29.560 His siblings, he has a special role as crown prince.

00:38:32.820 His father selects his playmates and sends him to a Swiss elite boarding school to give him a Western education.

00:38:42.500 finally he tells him who to marry it's the egyptian princess fawzia

00:38:49.920 with the arranged marriage between the two dynasties the father wants to reinforce the

00:38:56.860 power in iran and he was a very very powerful charismatic figure who completely dominates

00:39:07.260 wait wait okay i want to look up this guy abbas milani historian stanford university i want to

00:39:14.160 look up this guy because i do not like him this is this is a problem all these like woke leftists

00:39:20.140 um guys for the iranians in the chat if you find out anything about him

00:39:27.360 let me know

00:39:29.000 I wonder if he has a Twitter account.

00:39:36.360 We should find his X account and see what he says.

00:39:42.060 Ah, kitabam neveshte.

00:39:45.380 All right, all right, let's see.

00:39:50.360 Okay, he does have an X account, guys.

00:39:55.720 All right.

00:39:56.280 we are going to do some snooping around on this guy. I want to see who this guy is. All right,

00:40:03.140 let's find out together. Okay. Apos Milani, director Hamid and Christina Moghadam program

00:40:10.060 in Iranian studies, Stanford University, research fellow at Hoover. Opinions are my own. Okay,

00:40:17.960 so he's followed by, he's followed by quite like, like almost a hundred people that I follow.

00:40:24.700 Okay, let's see what he said. Let's see what he says here. I'll translate for you guys.

00:40:37.340 Okay. All right. He mostly tweets in Farsi. So let's see what he said about Pahlavi.

00:40:45.780 all right how do i do this all right um all right guys we're gonna do a little bit of like

00:40:55.760 internet digging here right like this is where we're gonna snoop together on this guy

00:41:03.680 and see what he actually says

00:41:07.220 about Pahlavi, right?

00:41:11.200 Because that is going to inform,

00:41:16.980 that is going to let us know what his bias is, right?

00:41:22.400 Okay.

00:41:26.540 Ooh.

00:41:27.860 Ooh.

00:41:33.860 Okay, that's fair.

00:41:35.540 All right, let's see here.

00:41:37.220 So, he tweeted about

00:41:42.340 Pahlavi August 29.

00:41:48.200 Okay, so, I mean, he's definitely

00:41:50.120 against the Islamic Republic. Okay, what is he saying here?

00:41:57.960 Okay.

00:42:05.520 So,

00:42:07.220 what's he say okay i know i know this guy i follow this guy let's see what he says

00:42:33.300 give me a moment guys

00:42:37.220 okay so I don't know okay okay so this is important all right guys so so 0.99

00:42:48.740 thankfully okay so guys one thing I have to say so for the non-Iranians here just

00:42:55.580 know that Iranians are very very good at finding info about people very very

00:43:02.360 quickly so um thankfully you know uh the people who the iranians who are in the chat uh looked

00:43:09.480 him up faster than me and they figured it out so i just want to share what faranush said here so

00:43:14.360 faranush says he's a leftist that to this day continues to lie about pahlavi okay there we know

00:43:19.160 so that informs this guy's bias okay so he's a leftist and you guys have to remember the reason

00:43:25.560 why it's important to under sorry the reason why it's important to understand where an iranian

00:43:36.280 stands politically on the spectrum is because the leftists have pahlavi derangement syndrome

00:43:43.480 and the reason that the 1979 islamic revolution was successful is because the islamists were

00:43:51.320 supported by the leftists right it was the the unity of the red and black right communism marxism

00:43:58.920 and islamism and that unity is actually what you're seeing today with all the pro-palestine

00:44:05.080 pro-hamas movements so okay so this guy's a leftist so already like for me this documentary

00:44:10.360 it's it's like out of three possibly two right but um millions of people have probably seen

00:44:21.680 this documentary which is why we iranians are constantly fighting with that false information

00:44:29.160 propaganda narrative about the shah was a dictator and all that nonsense right because

00:44:33.620 it's the leftists who get all the media attention. They spout their lies. And then the rest of us

00:44:43.040 are like, why? Why? I mean, the left, the left has no shame. The left enabled the Islamists,

00:44:50.260 the Islamists to take over Iran in 1979. And even to this day, they are still spouting nonsense 0.95

00:44:56.420 about um what happened because they're all grifters they're shameless grifters and the woke left the 0.98

00:45:04.680 communists the socialists the marxists they're a problem in every society whether it's iranian 0.98

00:45:08.600 society um american canadian is really like wherever we all know how dangerous the woke 0.90

00:45:15.180 radical left is all right so let's continue now so now we know now we know that guy is a leftist

00:45:23.920 which means everything that's coming out of his mouth, pretty much a lie. I mean, there will be

00:45:28.820 facts, but then he will impose his own opinion on those facts, which is why the Pahlavi family is

00:45:37.400 already being demonized, right? With no proof, by the way, with no proof.

00:45:45.340 300 kilometers southwest of Tehran, the oasis town of Komein is situated. In 1902,

00:45:52.200 Rahula Musavi Khomeini

00:45:53.780 is born in a house on the outskirts of that town

00:45:56.440 the youngest of six children

00:45:58.180 he never meets his father

00:46:00.500 his father is murdered when he is five months

00:46:04.480 old under suspicious circumstances

00:46:06.460 Khomeini will later hold Risa Shah

00:46:10.720 accountable

00:46:11.360 oh wow he was a okay

00:46:15.860 so someone on twitter

00:46:18.180 is saying that

00:46:19.420 he's in the middle

00:46:22.080 he was a revolutionary um i don't know i don't know if he was a revolutionary oh that makes it 0.89

00:46:29.040 even more awkward it's it's it's crazy that someone who enabled the islamists to take over

00:46:36.080 iran like he was a revolutionary so he wanted he wanted khomeini to come 0.50

00:46:41.360 now he's trying to educate the west about what happened it's wild it's absolutely wild

00:46:45.680 until the end of his days oh i see a starred comment so guys like i mentioned i will broadcast

00:46:54.100 and display um all starred comments to share your messages and answer your questions um gil i just

00:47:01.560 recently found your channel of your work thank you so much i appreciate that thank you for joining

00:47:05.660 um appreciate your support welcome um i'm i'm trying something new tonight basically a lot of

00:47:12.220 people have asked me for my opinion on the islamic revolution of 1979 and you know i i'm not a film

00:47:19.900 producer so i don't know you know what maybe maybe at some point i will produce my own documentary

00:47:24.740 on the islamic republic if i have um the the funding for it i mean i'm not a film producer

00:47:30.060 i don't know how to go about that but i would i would absolutely love to like make my own

00:47:35.820 documentary about the islamic republic and share the truth with you guys about what happened but

00:47:40.720 in the meantime, I've started something new. This is my first time doing it. I'm going to

00:47:46.800 watch pre-existing documentaries about the Islamic Republic, and I will critique them.

00:47:54.720 And of course, the Iranians in the chat will support me, and they will add additional information.

00:48:00.380 And then I will give you a rating on that documentary, because there are tons and tons

00:48:05.620 of documentaries out there. Everyone has an opinion about Iran, but no one ever really

00:48:09.760 wants to hear from actual Iranians. So that's what we're trying here. Let's see how it goes. 1.00

00:48:14.140 Maybe it'll catch on, maybe not. But we're doing it. We're doing it. I mean, I was going to watch

00:48:21.300 this anyway, so I figured might as well record it so other people can be involved too if they're

00:48:27.680 interested. So thank you for being here. Thank you for the support and enjoy the show.

00:48:31.320 Ayatollah Khomeini thought that Reza Shah personally had intervened to save the murder.

00:48:38.780 That was that bitterness left in him because in his writing.

00:48:44.480 Amir Tawheidi, I don't like him.

00:48:46.560 I don't like him. 1.00

00:48:47.380 He's a traitor. 0.94

00:48:49.500 So this guy was one of the Shah's advisors during the, you know, before the 1979 Islamic 0.95

00:48:58.160 revolution.

00:48:58.720 um he was okay at one point but the guy right now he is completely like I think he's senile 0.89

00:49:08.080 and the stuff that he tweets is absolutely ridiculous and I don't know why people still

00:49:12.680 listen to him like this guy is basically um he's reached his best before date right like he's

00:49:19.820 pretty much expired he should have retired a few years ago but right now at this very moment he is

00:49:27.760 actually hindering the movement to overthrow the islamic republic because he is currently attacking

00:49:34.880 the the current shah in exile and he is attacking the team around the shah in exile like he should

00:49:43.120 have retired years ago but unfortunately he likes the grift too much so i don't like this guy like

00:49:51.120 I do not like him but I mean this documentary is from from was from a few years ago so let's see

00:49:59.040 what he says but I don't like him you know every now and then he says those whose fathers have

00:50:05.200 been killed by Reza Shah Khomeini grows up without a father this will impact him all his life his

00:50:16.020 mother takes Khomeini to a wealthy aunt. That's nonsense. That's nonsense. So they're already 0.72

00:50:22.500 trying to show the most brutal human being, one of the most brutal human beings, they're trying

00:50:33.600 to humanize him. Oh, he grew up without a father and that impacted him. You know what? Lots of

00:50:40.680 people grow up without fathers it doesn't mean that they have the right to turn into a genocidal

00:50:46.760 maniac like this guy did it's wild to me how in one breath they're demonizing the shah who was

00:50:59.480 beloved beloved by the people of iran and then on the other hand they're trying to humanize a brutal 0.63

00:51:06.040 islamic dictator it's wild to me who makes sure he receives a good education 0.93

00:51:15.160 sorry yeah yeah listen i i cannot watch these documentaries either uh i explained at the 0.97

00:51:20.760 beginning like i i don't watch documentaries in english because they're full of lies

00:51:25.320 but the reason i'm watching them is because a lot of people have asked me for my opinion

00:51:29.640 on the 1979 islamic revolution they want it explained for me

00:51:32.840 and so I'm critiquing them to see if there's any good documentaries out there that people can rely

00:51:38.960 upon. This one so far I don't like. At five years of age Khomeini starts school. A village teacher

00:51:49.840 teaches him how to read and write. He's a fast learner. Among his classmates he's the most

00:51:56.280 gifted. While others play he studies and reads the Quran.

00:52:02.840 So studying and reading the Quran means you're gifted? 0.99

00:52:07.280 That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. 0.96

00:52:09.340 Do you see how they're trying to humanize him? 0.99

00:52:13.400 Oh, his father died.

00:52:15.320 He was so gifted.

00:52:17.340 He read the Quran. 1.00

00:52:18.320 Who cares if he read the Quran? 1.00

00:52:19.620 Reading the Quran doesn't make you smart.

00:52:23.200 Reading Einstein makes you smart.

00:52:25.860 Reading Isaac Newton makes you smart. 1.00

00:52:27.540 And you're right, he wasn't Iranian. 0.99

00:52:28.960 He wasn't Iranian either.

00:52:30.200 His father was from India.

00:52:32.840 before risa shah was forced to abdicate he had started extensive reforms in iran

00:52:38.600 he wanted persia to become a modern state this included the fact that women were no longer 0.99

00:52:44.960 allowed to wear a shadow the traditional veil that's nonsense that is another islamist lie

00:52:51.080 that that so that's another lie that the islamists push to claim that the shah was a dictator he

00:52:59.780 never said that women cannot wear the chador. What he said is women are now free to choose

00:53:06.800 whether or not to wear the chador. There's a big difference here. Women in Iran prior to 1979 had

00:53:15.180 the freedom to choose whether or not to wear the hijab. What Riza Shah the Great did is he 0.91

00:53:22.160 made it acceptable for women to not want to wear the hijab. So again, that's another lie. That's 0.94

00:53:28.480 another lie where they say, oh, he forced women to not wear the chador. Complete and utter nonsense. 0.91

00:53:34.480 If you look at pictures from Iran in the 1960s and 1970s, women were wearing the chador all the time. 1.00

00:53:43.440 All the time, guys. Okay, I'm going to pull that up because that right there, another huge lie. And

00:53:49.840 that is so frustrating. That's one of those lies that the Islamists put out there to justify 1.00

00:53:56.020 overthrowing the Shah here let me show you give me a moment here okay let me 0.97

00:54:08.120 switch here and what I'll do is you know we'll um I'll go through the search 0.74

00:54:15.640 process together so that you can see exactly what I'm looking at so

00:54:20.560 basically I just searched Iran before 1979 in Google and then you know you can

00:54:25.900 see women here. Where is it? Let's find some photos. Okay, here's one. So like you can see

00:54:46.500 women wearing the chador here, right? Wait, Iran before 1979. Beach. There we go. 0.74

00:54:55.900 Here. Okay, here's one. This is a perfect example here, okay? Wait, I want to open the image

00:55:03.580 in a new tab. Okay, here you go. So, this is a picture in the 1970s, okay? 1970s.

00:55:13.180 This is Iranian women at the beach, okay? So, here you can see two Iranian women

00:55:18.520 in bikinis, and then here, an Iranian woman is in a chador, okay?

00:55:25.900 women in iran were never banned from wearing the chador the photos prove it right the photos prove

00:55:35.180 it and yet the audacity for the person in that documentary to claim that rizzo shah banned it 0.61

00:55:45.220 that that's another jihadi lie right like you guys have to really realize that the jihadists

00:55:51.120 always lie. They lie about everything. And that, unfortunately, where they say that Reza Shah 0.56

00:55:59.160 banned the hijab, that's another lie that the Islamists propagate to justify the Islamic

00:56:05.700 revolution. Because, you know, these people want to say, Iran was always, Iran was always 0.56

00:56:11.420 an Islamic country, and everyone was Islamic. No, Iran was not, Iran was never an Islamic

00:56:18.080 country. People were Muslims, right? People practice the religion of Islam, but it was not 1.00

00:56:27.640 a Muslim country. It was not governed by Sharia law. But the Islamists try to paint themselves as

00:56:34.420 victims in order to justify turning Iran into an Islamic hellhole. And I can tell you right now 0.99

00:56:40.960 that today, the vast majority of Iranians are not Muslim. Less than 30% of Iranians today

00:56:49.260 are actually practicing Muslims. The vast majority are agnostic or atheist. There's also a rapidly

00:56:57.080 growing underground movement in occupied Iran. Iranians are turning to Christianity first,

00:57:02.920 and then Zoroastrianism second. But less than 30% of Iranians right now are actually practicing

00:57:09.260 Muslims. They just can't say anything because the crime for apostasy is death, right? So the vast

00:57:17.580 majority of Iranians who have stopped practicing Islam can't even say that, because if they say 1.00

00:57:23.580 that, they will be executed. Farhan, oh, thank you. Thank you so much, Farhan. I appreciate that. 0.99

00:57:33.220 Very kind of you to say. I'm actually really glad that you guys are enjoying this. So

00:57:39.120 yeah I mean we will continue to call out the lies and nonsense so there you go now you guys know

00:57:47.100 that this like so now you know that what they say here about Rizal Shah banning the hijab 0.95

00:57:53.140 is utter nonsense that's another Islamist lie so already this documentary is so frustrating to me 0.61

00:57:59.100 and you know you know what's interesting is you would never find this narrative in Iranian 1.00

00:58:05.980 documentaries right like you would no one would ever dare say in farsi to other iranians 0.54

00:58:13.260 like they would never say that because it's not true this is one of those lies that the

00:58:20.520 islamists propagate the clergy saw this as an assault on religious matters and protested 0.61

00:58:27.540 okay so so that makes sense let me go back a little bit okay so do you see how the lie 0.87

00:58:33.540 is being used by the Islamists to justify anger, right? And by the way, why do the imams care what 0.88

00:58:43.020 women wear or don't wear? Why the hell does it matter to them, right? This is how Islamists 0.98

00:58:48.240 operate. They want to control women. They want to control men, but mostly they want to control 1.00

00:58:53.040 women. So don't ever fall for the jihadi propaganda that, you know, hijab is a form of 0.99

00:58:59.740 empowerment? No. Hijab is a tool of oppression. Hijab symbolizes women's oppression. There is 0.95

00:59:07.680 nothing empowering about it, right? Nothing like that. Because why the hell do these Islamic mullahs

00:59:15.340 care so much what women wear or don't wear? Think about that, guys. Okay, let me go back a little 0.97

00:59:21.520 bit so we get the full sentence. The full sentence of lies, now that you know.

00:59:25.880 a village teacher teaches him how to read and write

00:59:30.500 he's a fast learner

00:59:32.380 among his classmates he's the most gifted

00:59:35.360 while others play he studies and reads the Quran

00:59:39.260 before Risa Shah was forced to abdicate

00:59:45.220 he had started extensive reforms in Iran

00:59:47.860 he wanted Persia to become a modern state 0.86

00:59:51.140 this included the fact that women were no longer allowed to wear a shah door

00:59:55.860 the traditional veil the clergy you know what he can't even describe a chador properly

01:00:01.980 he says a chador was a veil a veil implies something that covers your face the chador

01:00:08.080 is like this blanket that women wear to cover themselves so he can't even get the actual hijab

01:00:15.480 straight complete and utter nonsense saw this as an assault on religious matters and protested

01:00:21.500 so so do you see that so reza shah the great okay first of all he didn't ban the hijab he just said

01:00:32.400 women don't have to wear it but the very fact that he said women should have the right to choose

01:00:40.200 whether or not to wear islamic hijab that pissed off the clergy and the clergy were like oh this

01:00:47.280 an assault on islam right keep that in mind guys keep that in mind and think about what's happening

01:00:53.680 in the west right now many who were studying islamic theory of law by then this was a fundamental

01:01:00.640 violation of the principles of islam romani war and politischer geistlicher auch schon

01:01:06.720 What is she saying?

01:01:34.720 Wow. Okay. Okay.

01:01:36.720 Guys, this is important. So the Ayatollah, right? So even from the beginning, the Islamists wanted

01:01:45.760 to take control of Iran. So when Rizal Shah the Great was starting to modernize Iran, right? And

01:01:54.840 he basically, he gave women the choice as to whether or not to wear the hijab. That in and

01:02:02.080 of itself was enough to piss off the Islamists. And what they tried to do in 1941 is they tried 0.99

01:02:12.780 to turn Iran into a Sharia country in 1941, but obviously that failed. So they tried again in 0.88

01:02:21.360 1979. And unfortunately, in 1979, they were successful. But guys, this is a warning to you.

01:02:28.240 This is how jihadis are.

01:02:30.080 They don't give up, ever.

01:02:32.100 You cannot negotiate with them.

01:02:33.880 You cannot placate them. 1.00

01:02:35.440 Because they literally want to take over the world and implement Sharia law everywhere else. 0.94

01:02:42.420 And that demonic man, even as early as 1941, wanted to turn Iran into a Sharia law Islamic hellhole. 0.79

01:02:52.860 Let's go back and listen to that again.

01:02:58.240 Okay.

01:03:28.240 he will solve the conflict with the clergy which he inherited from his father so far he'd been 0.50

01:03:33.960 perceived as rather restrained by the public i find it absolutely wild that the islamic clergy

01:03:46.640 in iran actually felt like they had the right to dictate how people should live

01:03:54.520 they weren't politicians how did they come into power what made them think that they

01:04:02.760 had the authority to impose sharia law on people 1.00

01:04:05.980 by the way those same islamists are now coming into your countries 1.00

01:04:11.700 and trying to impose sharia law on you 0.93

01:04:14.580 that's how these people operate they will not be satisfied until sharia law takes

01:04:24.340 over they tried in 1941 it didn't work but they kept at it and then they were finally successful

01:04:32.940 in 1979 remember that guys because even though right now right now nothing's going on but who

01:04:42.540 knows what's going to happen in 30 years because what happened to iran could happen to your 0.85

01:04:46.880 countries and your woke lefty politicians are importing all of these islamists and the uk 0.99

01:04:52.160 is 100% a good example, right? It's a good example. The UK right now is similar to Iran in 1941. You 1.00

01:05:03.560 have the Islamists who are barking and complaining and demanding Sharia law, but no one's paying 1.00

01:05:09.140 attention. No one's taking them seriously because, well, they're just a small minority. No one's 1.00

01:05:14.160 going to take them seriously. But they kept at it and their numbers grew. And then 30, 40 years

01:05:21.280 later, 40 years later in 1979, they had enough support that they took over. Do not take this

01:05:28.360 lightly, guys. Do not take the threat of Sharia law lightly. As Shakespeare says, some have 0.99

01:05:39.680 greatness thrust upon them and some seize greatness. Muhammad Reza Shah had the monarchy

01:05:45.720 seized the throne upon him. And there was a big difference with someone who goes and grabs power

01:05:51.200 and creates the modern state

01:05:53.600 with someone who was essentially a reluctant king.

01:06:01.040 I don't understand what he means by the monarchy was thrown on him.

01:06:08.020 Muhammad Rizal Shah Pahlavi was literally the crown prince.

01:06:12.060 Like his father was raising him to be his successor.

01:06:16.560 So what the hell does this guy mean

01:06:18.520 when he says the monarchy was thrown on him that makes no sense he was he was born for this role 0.59

01:06:25.240 he was trained for this role he was educated for this role so right away that iranian leftist

01:06:33.220 is trying to delegitimize the monarchy right like what does he mean what does he mean when he says

01:06:40.400 oh the monarchy was thrown on him he was the crown prince he was of course he was going to be the king 0.98

01:06:48.520 that's literally how a monarchy operates that leftist guy he's he's insane 0.61

01:06:54.560 the young shah acts surprisingly resolutely like his father he wants to modernize state and

01:07:02.300 society gee i wonder why because he was trained by his father he was literally trained for

01:07:09.440 succession like it's called succession planning so obviously he's going to follow in his father's 0.93

01:07:15.900 footsteps to modernize Iran that's how monarchies work the narration here is absolutely ridiculous 0.98

01:07:22.940 like it's it's incredibly one-sided they're trying to humanize an evil Islamic dictator 0.93

01:07:29.200 and they're trying to demonize the Shah who was highly educated highly qualified

01:07:37.000 very very beloved by his people but end his father's confrontational course with the clergy

01:07:44.680 his subsequent opponent khomeini now oh i got another start comment thank you here major so

01:07:55.080 major says they have to show the monarchy in a bad light in order to show the imams 0.59

01:08:00.700 and democracy in a better light you're absolutely right 100 about that this is definitely a very

01:08:06.660 very one-sided narrative this documentary has an agenda and it's not a good agenda um and you know

01:08:15.760 iran actually was a democracy like there was a democratically elected parliament as well um it

01:08:22.340 was not a full democracy but if you actually look at the history of iran the shah was working

01:08:29.140 towards that full democracy and the islamic clergy didn't like that um i don't know if the

01:08:36.820 documentary is going to mention it but one of the key things that um the shah did is he gave women

01:08:43.140 the right to vote in 1963 that pissed off the clergy so you know in his efforts in his efforts

01:08:50.980 to modernize iran and turn it into a democracy by giving women the right to vote that pissed off 0.97

01:08:57.140 this evil turban man here, because evil turban man and all evil turban men think that women are 0.93

01:09:04.580 second-class citizens who must be veiled all the time and do not have the right to vote. 0.85

01:09:14.200 It frustrates me so much that these people are supported by leftists. And even today,

01:09:20.180 the leftists support these evil Islamists, right? These people are literally the devil. They are 1.00

01:09:26.360 demons and yet for whatever reason jimmy carter supported these these people very frustrating 0.67

01:09:34.120 it's like watching a horror movie teaches islamic theory of law oh wait let me go back to sympathetic

01:09:41.460 ear in younger students who become okay his subsequent opponent kormaini now teaches islamic

01:09:49.200 theory of law he finds a sympathetic ear in younger students who become radicalized

01:09:54.660 one group names themselves fadayan islam these martyrs of islam are shiite fundamentalists

01:10:02.060 they come from the ghettos of tehran and demand the establishment of a theocratic state on the

01:10:07.900 basis of the quran does that guys so for the non-iranians does that sound familiar does that 0.82

01:10:15.860 sound like the radicals in your countries specifically the people in uk does that not 0.61

01:10:21.800 sound like what the islamists and uk are doing where they're like going into your

01:10:25.880 you know they're a small group but they're going out in the streets and they're saying

01:10:29.640 we demand sharia law in uk does that not sound familiar because it's it's the same thing it

01:10:35.800 happens everywhere and here it was happening in iran western influence is to be banned women

01:10:42.840 must wear veils in public again these people literally wanted to mandate a couple of years

01:10:49.480 they really became very important because first of all, they assassinated a top intellectual,

01:10:55.960 Mr. Ahmad Kasravi, who campaigned against Islam as a whole. Then they proceeded further and

01:11:03.480 assassinated the prime minister, General Razmara. Did you catch that? So the Islamists were literally

01:11:11.480 assassinating political figures in order to destabilize the country so they could take over. 0.77

01:11:17.320 that's how jihadis operate death assassination hostage taking the whole thing

01:11:25.520 when he was uh oh and by the way okay i want to go back a little bit because again you have all

01:11:33.360 these like armchair experts on iran who assume like they always talk about like you know musad

01:11:40.320 And by the way, Iranians, we hate Mossadegh. He was a Soviet asset, an agent. But they always talk about him. But they never talk about all the other prime ministers, right? Like, look, this guy literally says that a prime minister in the 1940s was assassinated by the Islamists, right? Pay attention to this. He's going to say it again.

01:12:00.340 Now teaches Islamic theory of law.

01:12:03.680 He finds a sympathetic ear in younger students who become radicalized.

01:12:08.300 One group names themselves Fadayan-e-Islam.

01:12:11.940 These martyrs of Islam are Shiite fundamentalists.

01:12:15.820 They come from the ghettos of Tehran and demand the establishment of a theocratic state on the basis of the Koran. 0.91

01:12:22.560 Any Western influence is to be banned. 1.00

01:12:25.240 Women must wear veils in public again. 0.98

01:12:30.340 within a couple of years they really became very important because they first of all they 0.92

01:12:36.180 assassinated a top intellectual mr ahmad kasravi who campaigned against islam as a whole then they

01:12:44.420 proceeded further and okay so there was an intellectual who was speaking out against

01:12:51.380 islam in iran and the islamic fundamentalists assassinated him

01:12:59.700 and now he's going to say that they also assassinated a prime minister so again

01:13:04.260 to all of the people who are like oh iran was a democracy and then the shot no iran was always

01:13:11.700 a demo it was a constitutional monarchy and we had prime ministers before mosaddik

01:13:17.220 and we had prime ministers after Mossadegh. The only reason these people, these non-Iranians, 1.00

01:13:24.100 bring up Mossadegh is because they're just spouting Russian propaganda and disinformation. 1.00

01:13:30.520 And ask yourself, why do these people only ever talk about Mossadegh, but they never talk about

01:13:35.520 all of the other numerous prime ministers that Iran had before and after?

01:13:40.780 listen the islamists also assassinated an iranian president in the 1940s assassinated the prime

01:13:48.820 minister general azmara and khomeini was the cleric who gave them a clerical cover because

01:13:59.420 you know in islam or at least in shia islam you can't just go and kill somebody unless a clerical

01:14:06.620 authority writes a fatwa as for example like Khomeini wrote against Salman Rushdie

01:14:13.660 by the way the Islamic clerics have also written fatwas against President Trump

01:14:20.380 that is a very serious threat that needs to be taken like like that's not a joke guys

01:14:26.060 that's not a joke when an Islamic cleric writes a fatwa like your life is in danger until the very 0.99

01:14:33.020 end because these jihadis are literally insane. And if there is a fatwa against you, the jihadis 0.98

01:14:43.700 will do everything they can to try and murder you because they think murdering you will get them 0.99

01:14:49.820 into their weird Islamic jihadi heaven. This is also, he's going to talk about this, but this is 0.96

01:14:55.680 when the um islamists attempted to assassinate the shah yes so the islamists also attempted to 0.71

01:15:03.760 assassinate it to assassinate the shah of iran because they wanted to turn iran into an islamic 0.85

01:15:10.380 hellhole governed by sharia law so who's the radical here who's the authoritarian here do 0.52

01:15:17.800 understand why the Shah was trying so hard to defend Iran? He was not an authoritarian against

01:15:27.480 regular Iranian people, but he took a very strong stance against the Islamists and the communists

01:15:35.940 because they were constantly trying to murder him. No one knows about this because no one ever

01:15:41.880 mentions this, but this is when they attempted to assassinate him. Why? Because he was modernizing

01:15:50.320 Iran. So how is it that this man is a dictator when he was literally giving women the right to 0.94

01:16:00.700 vote and he was modernizing the country, but the Islamists and the communists who wanted to impose

01:16:07.080 fundamental sharia law on people they were somehow the freedom fighters like it's insane do you see

01:16:13.880 how um these documentaries are literally uh like like they're engaging in historical revisionism

01:16:21.400 they're lying and they're basically just sharing leftist communist islamist propaganda so for me

01:16:27.560 like on a on a scale of like you know zero to ten for this documentary i'm already at like

01:16:34.520 like, I'm at like a two right now. I'm at a two, two out of ten. Like, I would not,

01:16:39.720 I don't know. I mean, I guess I have to compare it to other documentaries to see how bad they are.

01:16:45.360 The rest are bad. But this is why I literally never watch documentaries about the Islamic 1.00

01:16:50.700 Revolution in English, because they're pretty much nonsense. Big Elvis, great commentary. Thank you.

01:17:00.280 I appreciate that. I mean, I appreciate that you're enjoying my rants. Usually, I would just

01:17:06.020 watch this on my own, and just yell at my monitor. But hey, I mean, if I can at least, you know,

01:17:12.480 inform some people, give people some, you know, context from an Iranian perspective,

01:17:18.560 happy to do that. Of course, there's also a lot of Iranian accounts in the chat,

01:17:23.440 in the YouTube chat, who are also giving their input. So make sure that you are listening to

01:17:28.620 them. And yeah, ignore the trolls, ignore the jihadis, ignore anyone who says that the Shah

01:17:34.040 was a dictator or whatever, because those are the Islamists and the communists. We're here, 0.79

01:17:38.100 my channel is here to give you the truth, and we are all pro-Shah. We are team Shah here.

01:17:45.240 In early 1949, there's an assassination attempt on the Shah as well. It was probably carried out

01:17:52.100 by a terror group, but this has never been proven. The Iranian parliament blames the Moscow following

01:17:58.440 today party okay this is important okay this is important i'm actually happy that the documentary

01:18:08.120 narrator when he mentioned the two-day party he mentioned moscow that's important because 0.96

01:18:17.640 the and and for all you like was democratically elected you know jihadis you know or ignorant 0.98

01:18:24.040 people, pay attention because this is for you. Mossadegh was part of the Tudeh party. What was 0.98

01:18:31.060 the Tudeh party? The Tudeh party was a Marxist communist party that wanted to infiltrate Iranian

01:18:40.000 parliament, Iranian government. They wanted to overthrow the Shah and they wanted to turn Iran

01:18:47.940 into a proxy of the Soviet Union, because at that time, when the Soviet bloc still existed,

01:18:57.140 Iran shared a border with the Soviet bloc. And so the Soviets were looking to expand

01:19:03.240 into Iran and take over. So they basically created and funded a communist party in Iran

01:19:11.440 called the Tudeh Party. Mossadegh, you know, Mossadegh, the people that like, you know,

01:19:18.900 the person that non-Iranians love to talk about, Mossadegh was part of the Tudeh Party. Mossadegh

01:19:26.380 was funded and trained by the Soviets. He was a KGB asset. He was not democratically elected.

01:19:34.980 he was put in there to destabilize the country and he was basically working for the soviets

01:19:42.600 so i'm going to go back a little bit pay attention that he said so the narrator says

01:19:47.460 moscow two-day party so remember two-day party means marxist terrorists okay

01:19:55.220 let me go back a little bit pay attention guys this is very important

01:20:00.660 oops

01:20:04.580 okay

01:20:06.700 pay attention

01:20:30.660 So, the Shah, okay, the Shah of Iran did not ban the Soviet-funded Tudeh Party.

01:20:41.980 It was the Parliament of Iran.

01:20:44.320 The democratically elected Parliament of Iran banned the Communist Party, okay?

01:20:52.180 Keep that in mind.

01:20:54.060 Keep that in mind.

01:20:54.920 Whenever someone says the Shah was a dictator, he was an authoritarian,

01:20:58.000 even this documentary this documentary said the shah was an authoritarian figure if he was an

01:21:04.560 authoritarian figure how the hell was there a parliament how the hell the parliament have a

01:21:10.740 say in who can and can't run for office right like do you see the biases here i hope you're

01:21:17.300 picking up on these um these nuances useful for the shah for communist ideology is equally as

01:21:24.060 suspicious to him as his radical Islam. His political path is directed towards the West.

01:21:33.060 I'm looking forward with the keenest anticipation to all that I have to experience here in the greatest of the democracies in a free world.

01:21:50.060 in november 1949 the american president harry s truman and the american people do you see this

01:22:00.640 i want you guys to understand that iran was never an enemy of the united states as you can

01:22:11.040 And as you can see, here is the Shah of Iran with Truman, two normal-looking political leaders.

01:22:23.200 The flag behind me, that's the flag of, that's the real flag of Iran.

01:22:30.680 Iran was always an ally of the United States.

01:22:34.420 In fact, Iran was one of the most important allies of the United States in the Middle East.

01:22:39.380 It was only when the Islamic regime came to power, right, this foreign jihadi terrorist ideology, when they occupied Iran, they got rid of our flag, they replaced it with the Arabic Allahu Akbar, and that's when they started chanting death to America or whatever.

01:23:01.940 However, Iran has never been the enemy of the United States. It's the Islamic regime that is 0.88

01:23:09.960 the enemy of the United States. It's the jihadis. It's their ideology. And yet, unfortunately, 0.99

01:23:16.620 for some reason, your Western politicians are mass importing all of these jihadis into your 0.93

01:23:24.900 countries. And we Iranians are like, what is going on right now? Do you guys not remember

01:23:31.000 what happened in 1979. It is wild to me. It is absolutely wild to me that these jihadis are

01:23:40.640 being mass imported into your countries. They block your intersections. They burn your flags.

01:23:48.420 They yell Allahu Akbar. And yet if you want to call it out, you're Islamophobic. And then they

01:23:55.640 say that Iran is a problem. No, Iran is not the problem. What you're seeing here, this is the real

01:24:01.760 Iran. This is what Iran was like. The problem is not Iran. The problem is that Islamic jihadist 1.00

01:24:09.420 ideology that took my country hostage in 1979. And they're now coming to destabilize and take 1.00

01:24:18.900 your country hostage and the islamic revolution didn't happen overnight remember they tried it 0.99

01:24:26.040 in 1941 and it didn't work so they went back they recuperated and they started a slow build-up 0.96

01:24:33.620 and then 40 years later they were successful in 1979 and the reason they were successful is

01:24:40.140 because no one in iran took them seriously until it was too late so let that be a warning for you

01:24:46.900 guys welcome shah mohammed resa exuberantly but not exactly selflessly they want to secure access

01:24:55.820 to the huge oil reserves in iran the shah on the other hand needs support for his plans to modernize

01:25:07.240 iran from the bottom he's interested in all technical innovations like the hoover dam

01:25:13.720 Not everyone likes his enthusiasm for the West. 1.00

01:25:36.120 So that is such a stupid comment to make. So he's saying that back in the 1940s 0.99

01:25:41.800 the shah was dependent on the uk and the united states and that you know pissed off the left

01:25:49.160 well i mean of course because the country was modernizing before before his uh grandfather

01:25:56.520 before his father rizzo the great assumed the throne in 1925 i believe iran was an incredibly

01:26:03.960 poor country it was the qajar dynasty and the qajar dynasty were basically like puppets of

01:26:09.800 the ottomans right like the turkish empire iran was an incredibly poor and destitute country

01:26:17.400 before the pahlavi dynasty came in the reason that we call the pahlavi dine the pahlavi family

01:26:25.640 we call them which means the iranian um what is it the the pahlavi iran building family you know

01:26:35.560 why because they literally industrialized and built iran but it's not something that can happen

01:26:42.520 overnight i mean look at the industrial revolution the industrial revolution took decades and yet

01:26:48.840 these lefties right now are complaining and they're saying oh the shah was too dependent

01:26:55.320 as if it was somehow the shah's fault that the economy was in shambles because they had inherited

01:27:00.760 a mess from the previous dynasty and you cannot fix 300 years of waste and corruption overnight

01:27:13.480 but when you actually look at how fast iran was modernizing

01:27:19.800 it's it's incredible and actually in the same documentary they say earlier

01:27:25.320 that the shah was very aggressive in modernizing but now this guy's complaining and saying that oh

01:27:32.620 in the 1940s they were too dependent well what do you expect you can't have it both ways

01:27:38.460 but this is how these leftists are trying to um delegitimize the pahlavi dynasty right like

01:27:45.980 they're trying to push this narrative of the pahlavi dynasty was so bad this is why people

01:27:52.780 revolted when, like, this is all false, right? Like, they're basically trying to justify turning

01:27:58.020 Iran into a 7th century Islamic hellhole governed by Sharia law. No, the CIA did not place the Shah 0.94

01:28:05.320 into power. That is, that is communist propaganda. Utter nonsense. 0.55

01:28:11.700 The global economic boom after the war requires fuel. Oil.

01:28:20.560 Oh, that's the other thing. That's the other thing.

01:28:22.780 Literally World War.

01:28:24.040 Like, this guy was complaining that the Shah was dependent on the UK and the United States during World War II.

01:28:31.260 Are you kidding me?

01:28:33.260 Like, World War II was not like a normal scenario for the economy.

01:28:38.740 Many countries were struggling.

01:28:40.200 Even the United States was struggling.

01:28:44.000 It's insane.

01:28:45.520 In Abadan, near the Persian Gulf, the world's greatest refinery is built.

01:28:50.020 Since the beginning of the 20th century, oil production had been mainly in British hands.

01:28:57.160 In Iran, the Anglo-Iranian oil company is like a state within a state.

01:29:06.080 When the Iranian parliament decides to nationalize the oil industry in March 1951,

01:29:12.080 Great Britain pulls the oil plug on Iran.

01:29:15.220 Many British experts have to leave the country.

01:29:20.020 the takeover of the oil facilities by a national company is cheered on boisterously but the oil

01:29:26.960 embargo soon forces the country's economy to its knees extremist parties like the communist today

01:29:33.400 party take advantage okay so that's important guys okay so i'm glad that at least at the very

01:29:41.020 least you know even with all the other like disinformation or whatever at the very least this

01:29:46.060 this documentary is acknowledging the fact that the two-day party, remember, Mossaddiq was part

01:29:54.700 of the two-day party. The documentary is acknowledging that the two-day party was an

01:30:01.620 extreme communist group and that these communists were taking advantage of the situation. Very

01:30:10.320 similar today to what's happening in the west with the far left groups right the antifa the

01:30:19.660 communists the socialists the marxists taking advantage of of what's happening to draw to join

01:30:24.900 the pro-palestine pro-hamas movements it's a pattern these communist groups are funded by

01:30:33.620 the Soviets to destabilize Western society. It's happening in your countries and it happened in 0.58

01:30:40.940 Iran as well. And again, it didn't happen overnight, right? Like they have been trying

01:30:46.540 for a while and you can see this is the early 1950s. So even in the 1950s, the communists

01:30:53.080 were trying to destabilize Iran and turn Iran into a proxy for the Soviets at the time. 0.55

01:31:02.080 and Mossadegh was a part of that Mossadegh was a KGB asset they become very popular

01:31:09.600 the Shah temporarily flees into exile out of the line of fire the mullahs and their followers and

01:31:20.680 different political groups like the communists who aim for the abolition of the monarchy and

01:31:25.160 the people's republic fight for dominance in Iran do you see do you see that the communists

01:31:30.600 they're already saying oh apple abolish the monarchy above like what did the monarchy have

01:31:36.000 to do with anything but but this is the propaganda that the communists have been pushing just like

01:31:43.000 the islamists right again what happened in 1979 did not happen overnight these communists and 0.70

01:31:50.540 islamists were working for decades to get to that point 0.93

01:31:54.580 the shah only manages to stay in power through the intervention of the usa 0.84

01:32:01.280 the american secret service cia supports him with a lot of money and helps him to establish 0.77

01:32:08.040 his own secret service the savak so that's really important right because everyone talks about

01:32:15.660 oh the secret police the secret police the shah had secret police

01:32:19.480 savok was literally inspired by the cia how come no one ever complains about the cia

01:32:26.660 the cia exists does that mean america is a dictatorship 0.98

01:32:32.480 again that's another lie that is spouted by the islamists and the communists every single 0.93

01:32:42.460 country has its own form of the cia and savuk was the iranian version of the cia 0.79

01:32:54.540 what's interesting here is that this you know so when people say in 1953 the cia overthrew the

01:33:02.700 democratically elected president and installed the shot no as you can just see that that's not

01:33:08.060 actually true that never happened that never happened there was a lot of turmoil in iran

01:33:17.260 right funded by the soviets by the way remember because it was the communists

01:33:22.040 funded by soviet russia who were trying to destabilize iran because the situation was

01:33:30.700 dangerous the shah temporarily left the country found safety in the united states 0.59

01:33:36.620 and then when things calmed down he went back the cia didn't install him he was already the shah 0.95

01:33:45.920 as of 1941 but yet you're going to find all of these communists and islamists who say

01:33:51.820 iran was a democratic a democratic country and then the cia no the cia never installed the shah

01:33:57.360 the shah was the shah as of 1941 this is a critical point okay keep that in mind i'm going

01:34:05.000 to go back watch this again because this is so important to counter that russian propaganda and

01:34:12.400 disinformation about what actually happened in 1953 and again this is not a contentious issue

01:34:20.840 in iran right like um when iranians are speaking with each other in farsi and we're discussing um

01:34:30.540 the history of iran the politics of iran this is never an issue like you're never going to hear

01:34:36.860 someone say um in persian that like musad was democratically elected and then the shah was

01:34:43.100 installed by the cia no one says that in farsi because it's not a thing this is only this false

01:34:51.740 narrative that we as iranians hear in english and we usually hear it from non-iranians who

01:34:58.620 know nothing about iran but they just spout this one line because they think it makes them sound 0.99

01:35:05.180 intelligent or smart or i don't know what but it's literally the most idiotic thing ever 0.99

01:35:10.460 and is 100 propaganda and it is not true no the cia and the british did not install the shah 0.99

01:35:19.900 go back and watch from the beginning i swear to god like if there's one lesson for people

01:35:25.980 watching and actually want to learn something, if there's one lesson you take away from this 0.95

01:35:30.580 live stream, do not trust non-Iranians when they say the Shah was installed in this, you know, 0.94

01:35:38.180 the CIA Mossadik nonsense. Do not trust them because it is nonsense. It is utter, complete 1.00

01:35:44.800 nonsense. Let's go back, pay attention to this because again, now you can see that what happened 0.75

01:35:52.580 in 1953 was actually a soviet project that was funded by soviet russia and they were trying to

01:36:02.740 destabilize iran and turn iran into a proxy of the soviet union and the united states helped iran

01:36:14.180 and made sure that Iran remained separate and they actually helped Iran to not become

01:36:26.300 a Soviet proxy. That is not a bad thing. The United States basically helped Iran maintain

01:36:34.400 its freedom and prevented communism from taking over in Iran. Communism is a terrible thing.

01:36:41.620 communism is bad the united states helped iran not become a north korea and yet people are 0.59

01:36:50.100 twisting that fact and saying the cia installed the shot no the shah was already the shah

01:36:56.980 the cia helped a little bit to make sure that iran did not become a communist country

01:37:04.580 and for that i am grateful i am grateful to the cia i am grateful to the americans thank you

01:37:10.260 Thank you. Thank you for helping your ally, which is what allies do. Again, the United States and

01:37:17.980 Iran were allies. Allies help each other out. Allies make sure that the other country is safe.

01:37:40.260 Extremist parties like the Communist Tudeh party take advantage.

01:37:44.560 They become very popular.

01:37:50.140 The Shah temporarily flees into exile, out of the line of fire. 0.75

01:37:55.480 The Mullahs and their followers, and different political groups like the Communists,

01:37:59.320 who aim for the abolition of the monarchy and a People's Republic,

01:38:03.100 fight for dominance in Iran.

01:38:05.980 The Shah only manages to stay in power through the intervention of the USA.

01:38:11.020 The American Secret Service CIA supports him with a lot of money 0.68

01:38:14.840 and helps him to establish his own secret service, the SAVAK. 0.98

01:38:19.720 So that's important because this is how the Islamists and communists operate, right? 0.91

01:38:24.300 They take a fact and then they twist it so that it kind of sounds believable but not. 0.94

01:38:30.220 So the CIA did help the Shah.

01:38:33.600 They didn't install the Shah.

01:38:35.780 They didn't overthrow the democratically elected prime minister.

01:38:40.260 The way they helped the Shah was they helped him financially. They said, okay, you need money. Here's some money. Do what you want with it. And then the Shah was able to take control of the country again and fight the communists. That's the truth. But the Islamists will take that. They'll twist it. They'll twist the narrative. And a lot of people will not bother to actually fact check to see what happened.

01:39:07.020 And so, again, the 1953 situation is a non-issue in Iranian politics.

01:39:16.220 Like, when we are talking about the 1979 Islamic Revolution in our Persian-speaking spaces, whether on Acts or elsewhere, like, we never talk about this because it's literally a non-issue because we all know, right?

01:39:34.180 Like it's common knowledge among Iranians that Mossadegh was an asset of the Soviets and Mossadegh was a traitor to Iran.

01:39:46.680 Like we hate Mossadegh. We hate Mossadegh. Mossadegh is one of the most hated figures in Iranian history.

01:39:55.660 And yet non-Iranians will still try to Iran-splain our country to us as if we don't know better.

01:40:04.180 um i see a starred comment here so um aim style says liberal media has been weaponized by russia 0.86

01:40:14.460 china and iran 100 although it's not iran it's islamic republic but i i totally agree with what

01:40:20.300 you're saying they want the west to fall so they use so so use people like hassan 0.82

01:40:27.280 blame their own country and their allies to being the axis of evil yeah i agree like like a lot of

01:40:37.340 the liberal media has been funded and trained by the communists right and there's a reason why a

01:40:47.100 lot of the very very far left progressive academics um are sympathetic to communism even though they've

01:40:54.860 never lived in a communist country and yet people who have escaped communism and have come to

01:41:01.900 western capitalist societies they hate communism but you never you never hear from them the media

01:41:08.020 never gives them a voice right it's always the uh the academics and the progressives who

01:41:14.220 romanticize communism and yet communism is a very dangerous ideology that is constantly trying

01:41:21.800 to destabilize countries and that's exactly what they tried to do in 1953 and the shah stopped it

01:41:29.780 our shah became a kind of roman caesar you know involved in day-to-day business involved in day-to-day

01:41:39.040 wars and if like the roman caesar you become involved in day today like julius caesar somebody

01:41:46.460 will kill you can we take a moment to just

01:41:56.700 looking at this man like i don't understand how anyone could look at this demon and think that 0.99

01:42:03.980 this person is a good person or that this person would actually um be a good ruler in iran like i

01:42:13.420 do not understand how anyone can look at this this vile demon and think oh yeah he seems like a nice

01:42:20.140 guy literally one of the most evil demonic people in the history of human civilization he could 0.93

01:42:26.620 teach the devil how to be evil just saying during this time khomeini doesn't make any public 0.87

01:42:34.460 statements on political questions he withdraws to his house in the holy city of com where he lives

01:42:40.380 with his wife and children only yeah that that was khomeini his most dedicated followers come to see

01:42:46.620 him but they don't say a word about what khomeini discusses with them either in solitude the

01:42:54.300 clergyman continues his work on his ideas for the islamization of the iranian state discreetly but

01:43:00.860 with confidence so so do you see like again the islamic revolution didn't happen overnight 0.91

01:43:08.060 these people were literally planning to turn iran into a seventh century um islamic hellhole 1.00

01:43:17.060 for decades and they never stopped so you know when i say you cannot negotiate with islamic 0.93

01:43:25.360 terrorists this is what i'm talking about i wish president trump would watch at least this section 1.00

01:43:32.020 of the documentary because he thinks that he's able to negotiate with islamic terrorists you 0.69

01:43:37.080 cannot. They will retreat. They will pretend to be, you know, in a peace agreement or ceasefire, 1.00

01:43:44.660 but literally they will retreat in order to recuperate, to build up their strength,

01:43:49.900 and then they will attack again and again and again. You literally cannot negotiate with them

01:43:55.820 because they are not rational people. They are not rational actors. They are jihadis. They are

01:44:02.440 terrorists they they their only goal is to take over and implement sharia law 0.99

01:44:09.560 that's what they did to iran and now they're coming to your countries and god knows what's 0.83

01:44:17.480 going to happen 20 30 40 years from now because that's how long it took in iran remember 1941 0.93

01:44:23.080 to 1979 this guy tried to turn iran into an islamic caliphate in 1941 he failed so he went

01:44:32.180 back recuperated bought his time built his jihadi army and then he was successful in 1979

01:44:44.020 he is extremely confident when he meets the shah in person on behalf of the grand ayatollah

01:44:50.100 khomeini asks the shah to pardon one of the assassins from the terror group fadayan islam

01:44:55.140 successfully so again this documentary claimed that the Shah was an authoritarian figure and

01:45:07.980 yet you just heard that one of Khomeini's followers who's like an Islamic jihadi he tried

01:45:15.680 to assassinate the Shah of Iran Khomeini said to the Shah can you please forgive him

01:45:22.980 and the Shah said, sure, yes, I will forgive your disciple. I will forgive the man who tried

01:45:30.860 to assassinate me because you wrote a fatwa that encouraged him to assassinate me. So who's the 0.60

01:45:38.420 authoritarian here? Who's the dictator? Who's the terrorist? It's not the Shah. It's the Islamists

01:45:45.580 who tried to assassinate him and yet he was still kind enough to forgive them i 1.00

01:45:52.860 really respect the shah but i do have one criticism of the shah my only criticism of him 0.99

01:46:00.700 is that he was not ruthless enough my criticism of him is that he gave the islamists too much credit 0.97

01:46:10.940 he thought that he could negotiate with them but they are vile evil demonic like they're vile evil 0.98

01:46:17.020 evil demons the islamists khomeini and his disciples vile evil demons his only mistake 0.99

01:46:25.260 is that he thought he could negotiate with them and he thought he could make them more reasonable 1.00

01:46:31.900 and even after they tried to assassinate him he still forgave them that was his only mistake 0.71

01:46:39.100 he was too kind the shah was too merciful he should have been more ruthless with 0.73

01:46:46.300 the islamic terrorists my only criticism 1.00

01:46:53.900 the shah definitely wants dialogue with the mullahs he keeps going on pilgrimages to mecca 0.94

01:46:59.500 in saudi arabia islam's central pilgrimage site that's the other thing like the shah was a muslim

01:47:06.380 He was a practicing Muslim, but he was a normal, regular Muslim who wanted to modernize and secularize Iran. 0.80

01:47:15.120 But that was not good enough for the Islamic clergy. 0.97

01:47:18.280 It was not good enough that he was a practicing Muslim. 0.76

01:47:21.480 The Islamic clergy want Sharia law. 0.95

01:47:25.480 They were literally trying to assassinate a Muslim shah because the shah was not Muslim enough for them.

01:47:32.420 Do you see how these radicals operate?

01:47:36.380 as a muslim he shows respect for islam and accepts the religious authority of the imams

01:47:43.900 but such publicity performances always serve multiple interests

01:47:50.860 his religious feelings i think came from his mother we know his mother was very religious

01:48:00.780 his father clearly was not his politics so i just wanted to comment to i want to respond to a

01:48:09.060 comment the problem like listen like i have spoken a lot about saudi arabia in my other live streams

01:48:16.660 um like abdullah if you haven't seen my other live streams i encourage you to go and take a look

01:48:21.800 at them i've always said that saudi arabia is one of the biggest um defenders against islamic

01:48:30.080 terrorism right because people in the middle east understand the difference between islam

01:48:36.080 and islamic terrorism and i'm not here to talk about religion my focus is to raise awareness

01:48:42.240 about islamic terrorism right and i've always mentioned that saudi arabia has banned the

01:48:47.280 muslim brotherhood saudi arabia has banned al jazeera because saudi arabia understands

01:48:53.920 what islamic terrorism is about and you guys don't tolerate that right same thing with uae

01:49:01.600 same thing with other things so please do not do not take my comments or criticisms as anything to 0.85

01:49:07.760 do with religion nothing to do with that it's about um islamic terrorism it's about that jihadi

01:49:15.400 islamo-fascist ideology that you guys are fighting as well and you guys like you guys have banned the 0.78

01:49:21.580 Muslim Brotherhood for very, very good reason. So please do not take what I'm saying as a

01:49:28.960 criticism of religion. I'm not here to comment on religion whatsoever. My focus is Islamic terrorism.

01:49:37.860 Paul's religion has nothing to do with his religiosity. His politics to religion has to do 0.94

01:49:43.600 with his fear that the greatest threat to Iran will come from the communists and that the way

01:49:49.940 to fight the communists is by strengthening religion. And that's exactly what he does. 0.83

01:50:04.020 Any ally in the fight against the influence of the communist Soviet Union is fine with the Shah. 0.62

01:50:10.900 Therefore, he tries to win over the clergy, which was traditionally anti-communist and monarchist.

01:50:16.100 it's a calculation which won't add up he certainly thought that that ideological backing

01:50:24.940 was religion wait this is a new guy guys okay so to my fellow iranians in the chat do we know

01:50:34.800 this person do we know ramin parham let's look him up and see who he is because that's going to

01:50:42.580 inform, that's going to inform our opinion of him. Let me, let me see what I can find about him.

01:50:54.480 Ramin Parham.

01:51:00.660 Oh gosh, he's another leftist. Oh my gosh. Okay.

01:51:03.960 Um, okay. So it seems that Ramin Parham is another woke lefty communist. Okay.

01:51:21.300 Yep. That's what I thought. Okay. Usually if it's someone that I don't know or I haven't heard of,

01:51:27.320 they're usually a leftist. So, okay, guys, so here is another woke lefty who suffers from

01:51:35.760 Pahlavi derangement syndrome, right? So again, these are the people who supported the Islamists 0.87

01:51:42.260 to overthrow the Shah, right? When we talk about the unholy alliance of the red and the black, 0.99

01:51:48.360 these people are part of the red. They're the communist, Marxist, you know, socialist progressives, 0.97

01:51:55.120 right? So the reason that non-Iranians, like this guy is not liked. And I can see in the comments 0.97

01:52:04.920 here, Iranians are mentioning. So this guy, his audience is non-Iranians. So part of the reason

01:52:15.700 that you have all of these lies and false narratives about the Shah is because of people

01:52:21.580 like him. And so far, I have not actually seen a single Iranian in this documentary

01:52:30.220 who is speaking positively of the Pahlavi dynasty. Every single Iranian so far in this

01:52:38.960 documentary is speaking negatively. And that's, again, another mistake that he made.

01:52:47.820 And religion, particularly as incarnated by the Shia clergy, could never have become the ideological framework on which to build modernization and westernization. 0.84

01:53:06.140 In December 1959, there are pompous festivities in Tehran. 0.90

01:53:11.440 Tabloid reporters from all over the world fight for the best picture of Mohammed Rehsashar and Farah Diba.

01:53:17.820 So this lady here, Farah Adiba, she is the current empress of Iran.

01:53:26.640 She just turned 87 and we love her. We love her so much.

01:53:30.860 the new queen needs to produce the desired successor to the throne so that the Pahlavi

01:53:37.120 dynasty can live on Farah Diba becomes an influential woman at the side of her husband

01:53:43.580 she also accompanies him on his trip to America in April 1962 where the couple are received

01:53:50.300 frenetically so this is when the Shah visited the United States so do you see how Iran used

01:54:00.260 to be an ally of the United States. Iran was an ally until the Islamists took over and started

01:54:09.600 chanting death to America. The problem is not Iran. The problem is that jihadi ideology 0.92

01:54:15.680 that took over Iran, corrupted Iran. And remember, the Shah was a Muslim. He made pilgrimages to 1.00

01:54:23.420 Mecca. He was actually very good friends. For my Saudi watchers, he was good friends with the

01:54:29.800 Saudis. They were allies. But the fact that he was a Muslim was not enough for the Islamic

01:54:37.360 extremists because they wanted Sharia law. They wanted this like weird Shia 12 or 7th century 0.96

01:54:44.840 version of Sharia law. I see ripple effect. Thank you so much for the sticker. I appreciate that. 0.69

01:54:55.820 I appreciate your support. I hope you're enjoying my very frustrated commentary

01:55:00.140 about this documentary because this is like, it's like watching a nightmare, right? It's

01:55:05.680 watching a nightmare unfold because we know how it's going to end. 0.84

01:55:09.740 The Shah seeks to deepen Iranian-American relations with President John F. Kennedy. 0.73

01:55:16.000 Both agree that only a strong military can fend off the latent threat of the Soviet Union. 0.87

01:55:22.700 Arming Iran is a done deal. 0.96

01:55:25.820 For the Americans, it's a valuable business. 0.98

01:55:29.340 Weapons for oil.

01:55:49.820 Do you hear that?

01:55:50.860 so the the americans were helping the shop build his army the americans were literally giving the

01:55:58.220 best weapons and military to the shop like that's how close iran and the united states were prior to

01:56:07.100 the islamic republic taking the country hostage iran was one of the biggest allies of the united 0.96

01:56:14.860 states at the time in the 1960s that was such a stupid comment so he says in german whatever they 0.94

01:56:37.260 did they didn't serve democracy i have no idea what that means because um as the documentary 0.97

01:56:45.180 said there was already a democratically elected parliament so for the leftists to just make this

01:56:51.740 ridiculous claim that they weren't served why because the shah wanted to have a powerful army

01:56:57.980 to protect his people from communists and and soviet russia do you see how these leftists spin 0.90

01:57:04.700 the narrative um do you know what happens when a country is not strong enough to protect itself

01:57:13.820 against the soviets do you know what happens the ukraine war happens

01:57:19.440 it is wild to me that that iranian leftist is speaking in german and he's basically saying

01:57:27.780 that because the United States was giving Iran the ability to defend its territorial integrity

01:57:37.100 against the Soviets, that was somehow impacting democracy. The Shah never, ever used the military

01:57:46.120 against the Iranian people. That is a flat-out lie that the communists and the Islamists are using.

01:57:53.680 um i see a podcast here uh average joe i'm working with pbd podcast booking to get you on 0.89

01:58:04.080 i'm not a big fan of pbd so i don't know if i want to be on his podcast i mean you can

01:58:09.300 send me a message um on on twitter on x maybe you can dm me there we can talk about it a bit more

01:58:17.300 but i'm not a fan of pbd so i don't know if i want to go on um but thank you i i appreciate that

01:58:24.320 Iran was still a developing country. Most of the people were farmers without their own land.

01:58:31.280 The land belonged to feudal masters and land barons, including a number of

01:58:36.400 Ripple Effect. Thank you so much for the sticker. I appreciate your support. I hope you're enjoying

01:58:41.280 the podcast. On the 11th of January 1963, the Shah introduces an extensive program of reforms. 0.73

01:58:52.560 okay okay this is important okay so in 1963 guys in 1963 we call it the white revolution in in

01:59:02.080 persian it's pay van de shovo millat so what happened in 1963 is the shah and of course his

01:59:09.920 wife um and the empress of iran faradiba um they implemented a series of reforms to modernize iran

01:59:19.920 So for example, in 1963, the Shah gave Iranian women the right to vote. In fact, Iranian women

01:59:27.340 had the right to vote before countries like Switzerland and Portugal, I believe. And by the

01:59:33.880 way, there was never like a women's suffragette movement, right? So it's not like Iranian women 0.99

01:59:38.460 were campaigning and demonstrating in the streets, demanding the right to vote. The Shah, 0.97

01:59:44.200 because he wanted to modernize Iran, okay, he already knew what had to be done. So without

01:59:52.020 anyone even like forcing him to do it, he gave women the right to vote. Now what happened is when

02:00:02.080 he gave women the right to vote and basically said women are equal to men and they should be 0.66

02:00:08.000 have the ability to vote that pissed off the islamic clergy in iran that pissed off the

02:00:15.300 radical jihadis because they said that women should not have the right to vote so on top of

02:00:21.220 the islamic clergy in iran and again when i when i say islamic clergy i'm only referring to iran

02:00:27.000 so please like i'm just i'm just talking about what's happening in iran no relation to other

02:00:31.800 countries. The Islamic clergy in Iran who were already trying to implement Sharia law, who already

02:00:38.980 were trying to force women to cover their hair and veil themselves, you can imagine how much it

02:00:46.380 angered them when in 1963 the Shah said women are equal to men and women have the right to vote.

02:00:52.660 So again, how the heck was the Shah a dictator? How the heck was he an authoritarian figure?

02:01:01.800 I don't know of any dictators or authoritarian figures that give that gave women the right to

02:01:10.900 vote. And by the way, if the Shah was an authoritarian, and if there was no democracy

02:01:17.160 in Iran, how the hell did women get the right to vote? Right? Like, you have to think critically 0.89

02:01:24.220 about the lies that the communists and islamists are spouting right on one hand they say that the

02:01:34.060 shah wasn't a dictator and there was no democracy in iran and then on the other hand all of a sudden

02:01:40.640 they say the shah gave women the right to vote it's one or the other which one is it anyways 0.63

02:01:48.700 just just listen to this part because he's gonna they're gonna talk about the white revolution here

02:01:52.300 oh my gosh guys we're only like 16 minutes in on like a one hour documentary

02:01:57.940 masters and land barons including a number of mullahs and religious trusts

02:02:02.900 on the 11th of january 1963 the shah introduces an extensive program of reforms

02:02:10.800 he calls it the white revolution its aim is to markedly improve the conditions of life for the

02:02:18.020 people oh my god okay okay i am rethinking my thoughts on this documentary i was at a two

02:02:37.060 but now i'm at a six

02:02:39.620 and the reason that i'm at a six the reason for this crazy jump right now is because this is

02:02:49.860 fada deba herself the last empress of iran she just turned 87 she is the wife of the shah of

02:02:58.040 course we love her we love her so much and the fact that this documentary is actually

02:03:06.940 interviewing her and giving her a voice is making me rethink my rating so right now we are actually

02:03:16.240 at a six despite some of the propaganda or all the propaganda the fact that they are actually

02:03:23.040 giving her an opportunity to speak we're at a six but but it's a very hesitant six because

02:03:29.720 we also have to see how the narrator is going to contextualize what she says right because

02:03:36.160 unfortunately they do that so i'm going into this with an open mind but i am very very happy to see

02:03:43.840 um the empress of iran in this documentary she is a phenomenal woman and we love her

02:03:49.840 a national referendum strengthens the ambitious program which includes the abolition of the

02:04:10.060 feudal system privatization of state-owned companies the fight against illiteracy

02:04:14.960 and the introduction of women's voting rights okay again how can he be called an authoritarian

02:04:23.700 figure when the shah literally held a national referendum to see what iranian people thought

02:04:30.400 about modernizing iran he even literally gave them the option to voice their opinions on what

02:04:37.000 to do and people voted for that they wanted that this literally flies in the face of all of the

02:04:45.180 islamist jihadist propaganda that claims the shah was a dictator you can like you're seeing with your

02:04:52.600 own eyes what sort of dictator has referendums what sort of dictator gives women the right to

02:04:58.920 vote do you see the lies that have been propagated by the communists and the islamists for the last 0.98

02:05:05.220 um 50 or more like 50 60 70 years women are not allowed to take part in the referendum yet 0.77

02:05:14.260 however they flock to the polling stations to demonstrate their oh wait wait guys this is

02:05:19.720 important this is important let me go back here this is what i was trying to find oh where is it

02:05:25.020 is it okay i have a point here

02:05:40.700 a national referendum strengthens the ambitious program which includes the abolition of the

02:05:45.660 feudal system privatization of state-owned companies the fight against illiteracy and

02:05:51.180 the introduction of women's voting rights women are not allowed to take part in the referendum yet

02:05:57.340 okay okay this is important so remember earlier on in the documentary so right now okay we're at

02:06:04.540 the 17 minute mark 17 minutes in two hours worth of commentary but do you remember earlier in the

02:06:11.100 documentary the same documentary they said that reza shah the father of the current shah

02:06:19.020 remember when they said they banned the chador they bet he banned iranian women from wearing

02:06:24.620 the hijab the chador and then i said to you guys that was a lie that was just islamist propaganda 0.93

02:06:32.380 if the chador was banned who the hell are these women because they are all like you can see some 0.64

02:06:39.500 of them are wearing the chador so do you see how even in this documentary they are um 0.99

02:06:46.380 Um, what's the word I'm looking for? They are, um, they're saying one thing and then they say

02:06:55.140 the other thing, right? Oh, contradicting. They are contradicting themselves in this documentary

02:07:00.060 because, um, they first said that the Chodor was banned and now they're showing literal footage

02:07:08.120 of Iranian women in the sixties. And you can see that Iranian women are free. Some are wearing the

02:07:14.120 chador some are not wearing the chador right so so do you see the kind of propaganda that is being 0.93

02:07:21.840 spouted by the islamists and then non-iranians just pick it up and assume it's fact how the 0.63

02:07:28.660 hell could these women be wearing the chador if it was banned right it makes no sense so many 0.98

02:07:36.100 contradictions in in the narratives right however they flock to the polling stations to demonstrate 0.96

02:07:42.880 their approval he wanted Iran to modernize the white revolution was intended to make Iran better

02:07:50.220 and it did in many many ways it did it ended feudalism in Iran that's not an easy thing to do

02:07:57.900 the starting point of the white revolution was a land reform against the determined resistance of

02:08:05.660 the clergy the Shah hands over more than 500,000 hectares of land an area twice the size of Luxembourg 0.89

02:08:12.880 why the hell would the clergy care what the shah does with land do you see like the shah was

02:08:19.420 literally trying to modernize iran the clergy didn't like that the clergy wanted to keep the 0.79

02:08:24.920 old backwards tribal feudal system and yet somehow the shah is the dictator 0.61

02:08:31.920 the shah was a dictator for wanting to liberate people for wanting to empower them from wanting 0.67

02:08:38.720 to lift them up out of poverty the shah was a dictator for giving women the right to vote 0.58

02:08:42.880 these are the lies that people have been fed and unfortunately unfortunately most people

02:08:50.560 will just believe it because if you repeat a lie enough it sticks to some 30 000 destitute families

02:08:59.600 okay he gave land to 30,000 poor families he ended the feudal system he ended the surf system

02:09:10.360 he basically gave away land to 30,000 poor families and that pissed off the clergy

02:09:19.320 let's go back and listen to that again 0.99

02:09:21.960 women are not allowed to take part in the referendum yet however they flock to the

02:09:30.620 polling stations to demonstrate their approval he wanted Iran to modernize the white revolution

02:09:36.580 was intended to make Iran better and it did in many many ways it did it ended feudalism in Iran

02:09:44.580 That's not an easy thing to do. 0.67

02:09:49.380 The starting point of the white revolution was a land reform against the determined resistance 0.55

02:09:54.700 of the clergy.

02:09:55.760 The Shah hands over more than 500,000 hectares of land, an area twice the size of Luxembourg

02:10:01.980 to some 30,000 destitute families. 0.61

02:10:06.080 Wait, we have a new person.

02:10:11.580 Okay, who's this new person?

02:10:14.580 Oh my god, they actually have

02:10:23.120 Oh my gosh, they have like an imam who's like speaking now?

02:10:30.120 Jesus Christ. Okay, who is this guy?

02:10:34.940 Let's look this guy up.

02:10:37.460 Anyone know this person?

02:10:42.680 Wait, what's his name again?

02:10:44.580 His name is Hassan Youssef Ishqabari.

02:10:52.680 Okay.

02:10:56.440 Let's see.

02:11:14.580 okay it says here it says here that so he was trained as a cleric in rome

02:11:23.260 apparently he's speaking about like religious freedom

02:11:28.500 he was a former member of the islamic republic parliament he was convicted of apostasy

02:11:38.820 yeah so okay so this so this guy is basically an islamist this guy this guy is like

02:11:48.980 part of the islamic regime basically and i guess he's assuming that just because he took off his

02:11:55.600 turban that people are going to like trust him but i mean guys i'm going to warn you right now

02:12:02.780 you can take the turban off of a jihadi and put them in a suit but he's still going to be a jihadi 0.64

02:12:11.560 so all right let's see let's see what this guy has to say 0.96

02:12:16.220 oh my gosh so he's already lying he's basically saying that the reason the shah was modernizing 0.97

02:12:26.360 iran is because he was pressured by the united states which is utter bullshit right like that 1.00

02:12:31.520 that right there is islamist jihadi propaganda god i hate this guy already 0.99

02:12:38.580 even his accent boy lahjash misadahatia it's like as lahjash malumik has un akhunda yaganda 0.73

02:12:47.960 what do you say this means that the reforms okay okay wow so he's saying that the like

02:12:56.000 Like the Shah's attempts to modernize Iran served imperialistic powers.

02:13:02.500 So this guy is one of those people who actually thinks giving women the right to vote was a bad thing.

02:13:11.880 He thinks that giving women the right to vote, treating women as equal to men, is a Western imperialist thing.

02:13:22.540 So this guy, we already hate him.

02:13:24.660 We already hate him. 1.00

02:13:25.280 He's basically a terrorist. 1.00

02:13:27.400 He's a jihadi terrorist. 0.90

02:13:40.160 So he just said, he just said, giving women the right to vote was not in the interest of the Iranian people. 0.93

02:13:51.060 Khayqtu said it.

02:13:55.280 Wow. So he's basically saying that the Shah modernized Iran

02:14:08.360 because the Americans told him to, which is utter nonsense, by the way.

02:14:15.260 You guys literally just saw video footage of Iranian women flocking to the voting polls 0.87

02:14:24.120 to show their support for being given the right to vote you just heard that the shah gave away land

02:14:31.640 the size of luxembourg to 30 000 poor iranians to empower them to become productive members of

02:14:40.120 society and then that jihadi islamic cleric is saying that that was not in the interests of the

02:14:47.440 Iranian people. Do you see how the Islamists lie? Because what the Shah did is he took power away 0.64

02:14:53.980 from the Islamic clergy in Iran, and he gave it to the people that pissed off the clergy. 0.70

02:15:00.760 Who's the authoritarian here? Who's the dictator? Is it the Shah that gave women the right to vote?

02:15:07.240 Or was it that jihadi, I don't want to swear, that jihadi evil demon man who thinks that women 0.97

02:15:15.620 shouldn't have the right to vote i know whose side i'm on i'm on the shah's side 0.98

02:15:21.700 i'm not on that person's side because that person is evil that person is a demon that person belongs 0.63

02:15:28.900 in hell ripple thank you for the sticker i appreciate that thank you in order for children

02:15:39.940 to learn reading writing and maths soldiers teach them in village schools so for those of you who 0.58

02:15:47.220 joined me for my live stream yesterday um where we were you know where the shah was showing his

02:15:52.980 imperial army remember the shah he created um a peace army so he actually employed thousands of

02:16:00.900 men and women and he created various you know military branches within the army and these

02:16:08.180 people were literally tasked with fighting poverty fighting illiteracy fighting hunger

02:16:16.820 and he sent thousands of the people in what he called the peace army to rural iran to build 0.91

02:16:25.380 schools and educate people so that person that you see okay he's literally employed by the shah of

02:16:32.340 iran to go and build schools in rural villages and then educate the people of iran that's not

02:16:41.460 what a dictator does guys the shah was building 4 000 schools a year to educate not just children

02:16:50.420 but to educate adults who never had an opportunity to be educated

02:16:54.820 the radical islamists did not like that they did not want the iranian people to be educated

02:17:03.300 adult farmers and nomads have to go back to school

02:17:12.660 what did i just say he literally built school for adults he built schools for adults because

02:17:19.020 he wanted iranians to be educated and literate and now this guy just said that even adults went

02:17:26.540 back to school so that they could learn that's what the shah wanted he wanted he always wanted

02:17:33.340 the best for his people but you never hear about this you never hear about the fact that he built

02:17:39.420 over 4 000 schools a year to educate the iranian people so again i ask you tell me

02:17:45.580 how was he a dictator how was he authoritarian do you see how the islamists and the communists 0.71

02:17:52.380 have controlled the narrative for so long but this is the truth this is the truth that you 0.92

02:17:58.940 never find in the media oh my gosh it's the in order for children to learn reading writing and 0.95

02:18:10.140 maths soldiers teach them in village schools adult farmers and nomads have to go back to school

02:18:21.020 the shah involves all strata of the population in his campaign 1.00

02:18:28.860 you know what that probably pissed off the islamists seeing like women in schools educating 0.99

02:18:34.220 young girls that also probably pissed off the islamists right because remember 0.94

02:18:38.220 they were always campaigning to have women be second-class citizens they wanted women to be

02:18:44.620 covered in veils they didn't want women to have the right to vote so stuff like this really upset

02:18:50.880 the jihadis

02:19:08.220 But the alphabetization doesn't mean anything.

02:19:11.220 Wow.

02:19:13.220 You know, 0.71

02:19:15.220 Okay, so this leftist Islamist is basically criticizing the fact that the Shah was educating people. 0.57

02:19:29.220 He's basically saying that, well, it's one thing to be literate, but political education is like,

02:19:36.220 do you see no matter what the shah did these leftists were always criticizing him 0.53

02:19:44.620 the shah could have literally walked on rotter and these people would have accused him of not

02:19:49.580 knowing how to swim like it is insane it is insane that these communists are criticizing the shah

02:20:00.460 for raising the literacy rate.

02:20:08.440 These are the people who called the Shah a dictator

02:20:12.620 for wanting to educate the Iranian people.

02:20:16.980 You know why? 0.99

02:20:17.880 Because these are the elite,

02:20:20.040 the woke left progressive communist elite

02:20:23.440 who legitimately believe that education belongs to them

02:20:28.260 and that the masses should be uneducated and should just follow along and believe whatever they say. 0.87

02:20:35.540 This man clearly suffers from Pahlavi Derangement Syndrome and he is a dangerous person.

02:20:42.500 So he's saying that political education was banned from schools and universities.

02:21:00.500 What does that even mean?

02:21:02.300 What the hell does political education mean? 0.97

02:21:05.080 and does he have any proof to back up this absolutely ridiculous claim because guys 0.94

02:21:13.340 if the shah was against political education why the hell would he give women the right to vote 0.92

02:21:22.660 that does not make sense like do you see how all these people do is lying if the shah was

02:21:31.480 against political education why the hell would he give women the right to vote

02:21:34.940 these people are so frustrating 0.81

02:21:39.800 Khomeini takes on the role of a mouthpiece for a group of mullahs who reject this policy as pro-western 0.96

02:21:55.440 God I hate this man

02:22:00.260 uh just assume everything he's saying is jihadi propaganda like i just i can't even look at him 0.99

02:22:07.640 this guy is literally a terrorist okay this guy supports sharia law in iran and by the way

02:22:30.260 if this guy is such a big fan of sharia law why the hell is he not in iran that's what he wanted 0.93

02:22:37.660 he turned iran into a 7th century islamic hellhole governed by sharia law and yet he himself

02:22:44.080 is living comfortably in the west in a western nation why is that why is he not in iran 0.81

02:22:53.280 oh he even he even admits he supported he supported

02:23:03.280 So basically after years of, you know, complaining about the Shah as a young man, 0.80

02:23:32.900 eventually he became an old demon and he had gained a cult following because all he did 0.84

02:23:39.380 for his entire jihadi career as a cleric was grift and complain

02:23:45.860 takes advantage of his gain in power he abandons his hitherto withdrawn position

02:23:59.760 and openly opposes the Shah's politics for the first time he publicly so again when the documentary

02:24:07.400 says that this evil demon Khomeini opposed the Shah's politics that means he opposed the fact

02:24:13.720 that women had the right to vote and that women were being educated

02:24:17.980 he didn't like that he didn't like the fact that the Shah was empowering women 0.69

02:24:22.120 he warns him not to carry on with his father's ways 0.66

02:24:27.820 by the way who the hell is he to tell the shah of iran what he can and can't do like who who

02:24:40.180 gave him the authority to dictate to the shah of iran how to govern the country do you see how 0.95

02:24:48.480 these islamists operate they literally have the audacity to believe that they can tell other 1.00

02:24:54.640 people what to do, how to dress, how to behave, all of that nonsense. 1.00

02:25:01.240 Khomeini sent a couple of letters directly addressed to the Shah,

02:25:04.940 and the Shah gave a couple of lectures, speeches, directly responding to it. I've coded those at

02:25:12.240 length in the Shah book, and they're remarkable. Khomeini, for his defiance, telling the Shah. 0.76

02:25:19.440 he just called the letters that a jihadi islamic dictator sent to the shah of iran

02:25:31.840 demanding that the shah of iran not westernize the country demanding that the shah of iran

02:25:37.340 remove women's right to vote he just said those letters were remarkable 0.99

02:25:42.660 leftist propagandists are sick in the head this man is mentally ill there is nothing 0.99

02:25:51.400 remarkable about that that's like saying you know hitler's letters were remarkable 1.00

02:25:58.380 it is disgusting how they are trying to romanticize and defend

02:26:04.920 one of the worst people in the history of human civilization 0.94

02:26:10.240 boy don't do something so that i throw you out of the country like your father and the shah saying 0.96

02:26:21.220 these little uh the word is uh like ants like uh who survive in feces we are not going to let them

02:26:33.200 rule this country strengthening the role of women in iranian society is an integral 0.99

02:26:40.120 part of the white revolution did you did you hear that so so strengthening the role of women

02:26:46.040 in iranian society was an integral part of the white revolution that was something that khomeini 0.74

02:26:54.380 and the jihadis did not like so in those remarkable letters that the islamic terrorists 0.95

02:27:01.060 were sending to the shah of iran they were saying to him do not strengthen the role of women women

02:27:07.580 are not equal to men women are second class citizens that's what the islamists were complaining 0.55

02:27:13.460 about so who who's the authoritarian here who's the dictator who's the corrupt it's not the shah 0.97

02:27:19.920 it's the islamists 0.98

02:27:22.520 iranian women grasp this opportunity to make public use of the newly acquired rights

02:27:30.000 and the associated self-confidence okay again the islamists claim that rizal shah the great 1.00

02:27:38.100 banned the hijab if he banned the hijab how the heck is that iranian women um on the left on the 0.79

02:27:44.900 right side of the screen she's wearing a chador do you see how these people lie they constantly lie 0.88

02:27:52.940 And yet the proof is out there that they're lying. You just have to look. It's not that hard to counter the lies that these Islamists and jihadis put out there.

02:28:10.920 And here's, again, another example. This very documentary at the beginning said that Rizal Shah the Great banned the hijab, banned the chador. If the chador was banned, how the hell is that Iranian woman wearing one in public? Another jihadi lie that just goes unchecked because no one bothers to look at the truth. 0.68

02:28:35.820 Women can not only vote now, they can also become political candidates. 0.98

02:28:40.920 Whoa, so look at that. Not only were women given the right to vote in 1963, but they could automatically run for office. That's something that the jihadis didn't like. The jihadis didn't like the fact that women could run for office. I was a politician for seven years in Canada. 0.99

02:29:01.080 If I was in Iran, the jihadis wouldn't want me to be in office. 1.00

02:29:06.480 and women this is a milestone on their path to emancipation

02:29:13.360 by the way to anyone who says iran was always an islamic country and iranian women always wore the

02:29:24.340 hijab you're literally you're literally seeing that that is not the case iranian women were

02:29:29.380 free to choose whether or not to wear the hijab. It was always a choice. It was only when Khomeini, 0.68

02:29:39.840 the evil demon man, took Iran hostage in 1979 and imposed Sharia law that all women were forced 0.90

02:29:47.920 to wear hijab regardless of their religion. But as you can see, like this image right now, 0.79

02:29:54.160 this looks like this could be in new york it could be somewhere in europe like this looks

02:30:00.340 like it was in a western country but this is what iran was like prior to 1979

02:30:05.180 but there was a lot of resistance

02:30:20.560 okay so this is interesting here we have a woman politician

02:30:30.340 who was a politician during the time of the shah

02:30:35.300 so again this this flies in the face of everything that people say about the shah how the hell

02:30:42.640 could the shah have been an authoritarian dictator when we are literally hearing from

02:30:50.980 an iranian parliamentarian who was a politician before 1979 a woman politician by the way

02:31:00.500 very interesting i'm going to write her name down

02:31:12.260 all right let's see what she has to say and and uh

02:31:16.980 uh the the first revolution in 63 happened led by khomeini happened specifically

02:31:25.860 on this particular item of the voting uh decree did you did you hear what she said

02:31:34.020 so she said one of the main factors that pissed off the islamic clergy in iran

02:31:41.860 was when the shah gave women the right to vote

02:31:45.240 and the islamic clergy did not want women to vote

02:31:49.280 let's let's go back and listen to that again because that is 1.00

02:31:53.400 key

02:31:54.100 but there was a lot of resistance and and

02:32:03.260 the first revolution in 63 happened led by khomeini

02:32:10.620 happened specifically uh on this particular item of the voting uh decree

02:32:17.560 for khomeini and his followers the new role of women in politics and society

02:32:23.920 is a threat to the foundation of their faith they wow so these people

02:32:31.540 think and still do think that women having the same rights as men is a threat to their religion

02:32:43.840 and their ideology. That's insane. Like these people are barbaric. Like they are 7th century 0.99

02:32:51.620 savages. Okay, so this is important. So they just casually say, okay, this makes no sense.

02:33:09.900 So on one hand, he says that the Shah giving women the right to vote was a threat to the

02:33:18.360 Islamic fundamentalists. And then he says the Islamic fundamentalists were also complaining

02:33:24.920 about the Shah torturing people. The fact is the Shah never tortured people. That was a lie that

02:33:32.160 was spouted by the Islamists in order to justify overthrowing the Shah. Why did they want to 0.97

02:33:39.240 overthrow the Shah? Because the Shah gave women the right to vote, and the Islamists did not like 0.94

02:33:46.020 that. So they started a campaign of lies against the Shah, right? The lie of the Shah tortured

02:33:55.020 people or whatever nonsense, right? Again, everything that comes out of the mouths of 0.72

02:34:00.860 these jihadis is a lie. Do you see how the dots connect here? The Shah gave women the right to

02:34:09.640 vote. The jihadis didn't like that. They saw it as a threat. So they started spreading lies about

02:34:15.880 the shah torturing people and to this day guys to this day i still cannot find a single shred of

02:34:26.160 evidence of the name of any innocent person that the shah tortured or killed if someone even you

02:34:37.160 know someone in the chat if you can give me the name of one person that the shah tortured and

02:34:43.380 or killed an innocent person by the way and if you have the proof and the facts to back it up

02:34:48.620 let me know because i still have not found any evidence of the shah torturing and murdering 0.90

02:34:56.840 innocent people that was an islamist lie because again the jihadis will lie about anything in order 0.90

02:35:05.580 to gain control and gain power so i'm going to go back a little bit listen to this part again 0.86

02:35:12.000 and please guys connect the dots so again the shah gives women the right to vote 0.75

02:35:18.480 the islamists see that as a threat so they start spreading lies about the shah torturing people 0.69

02:35:25.680 pay attention 0.96

02:35:28.760 here we go

02:35:34.380 But there was a lot of resistance and the first revolution in 1963, led by Khomeini,

02:35:50.380 happened specifically on this particular item of the voting decree.

02:35:57.380 for khomeini and his followers the new role of women in politics and society 0.81

02:36:03.480 is a threat to the foundation of their faith they mount a counter-attack

02:36:08.140 khomeini denounces corruption state violence and the torture used by the state's secret service 0.67

02:36:15.420 he threatens the okay so because they are upset that the shah gave women the right to vote and

02:36:24.480 allowed them to run for office, they started a counter-attack against the Shah by falsely

02:36:32.120 claiming that he was torturing people. 0.61

02:36:35.480 Tyrant of our time in a speech with a black reaction to the white revolution. 0.74

02:36:42.600 Khomeini was the only one who was very radical against the Shah.

02:36:52.980 so this guy is saying that khomeini was threatening to depict the shah in a negative

02:37:04.980 light because the shah was giving women the right to vote that's in us

02:37:10.100 and because the shah gave women the right to vote that pissed off the islamic jihadis in 0.67

02:37:30.020 iran so bad that not only did they threaten to lie about the shah but they also threatened

02:37:36.660 to organize an uprising against him, right? 0.52

02:37:43.220 There are demonstrations and counter-demonstrations.

02:37:50.560 The Shah deploys the military to the holy city of Qom.

02:37:54.120 Blood is shed.

02:37:55.880 Khomeini is arrested and sentenced to death.

02:37:59.040 Thanks to the pleading of numerous clerics,

02:38:01.040 the sentence is changed,

02:38:03.080 and Khomeini is exiled to Najaf in Iraq. 0.90

02:38:06.660 That was one of the biggest mistakes the Shah ever made.

02:38:11.340 I said it before.

02:38:13.680 The Shah's biggest and only mistake is that he was not ruthless enough. 0.52

02:38:19.460 If he had executed Khomeini, we would not be in this mess today.

02:38:24.600 But the Shah was too kind-hearted.

02:38:27.800 The Shah kept on forgiving people who were trying to assassinate him.

02:38:31.700 If the Shah was such a cruel authoritarian dictator, how did Khomeini get a sentence of exile instead of execution?

02:38:49.580 Who was the savage here? Was it the Shah or was it this disgusting evil demon man who was offended by the fact that women could vote? 0.98

02:38:59.500 and because women could vote he was hell-bent on taking over the country and imposing sharia law 0.99

02:39:09.820 the shah treated this man like a human instead of treating him like the demon

02:39:14.060 that he is that was the shah's only mistake the shah was too kind 0.73

02:39:18.620 In the meantime, the implementation of the White Revolution is more difficult for the 0.86

02:39:31.120 rural population than expected. 0.73

02:39:33.940 The farmers now have their own fields to till, but they often lack seeds, water, and modern

02:39:39.720 agricultural machines. 0.97

02:39:48.620 god i hate this man like all he does is lie 0.98

02:39:56.660 where's the translation here i don't see the subtitles so it's okay so he's basically saying 0.91

02:40:05.760 the the modernization couldn't happen fast enough in the rural areas and so they went to the towns

02:40:18.620 okay so he's basically saying like so the rural areas weren't modernizing fast enough and so they

02:40:25.440 came to tehran the capital but they couldn't live there so they went to the outskirts i don't know

02:40:30.780 he's spouting like nonsense so he's basically saying these like villagers would come to tehran

02:40:43.020 And then they basically like were radicalized by the clergy.

02:40:46.920 And then it was those villagers who helped to like support the clergy and the communists.

02:40:53.980 If you're going to end feudalism and you're going to bring millions of people into the city, you have to be prepared for it.

02:41:04.280 You have to think who is going to teach these people the political rules of the new game.

02:41:11.480 and then he made it impossible for anyone other than the clergy to have a political organization

02:41:18.200 in iran what nonsense at first khomeini completely secludes himself in his exile in najaf

02:41:31.520 a stronghold of shiite islam in iraq at 60 he believes he's finished he's isolated

02:41:38.620 many iraqi scribes don't want to have anything to do with his political activities

02:41:43.920 that's wild like so najaf is a city in iraq like even the iraqi clerics wanted nothing to do 0.99

02:41:54.740 with khomeini because i guess they saw how like evil and demonic and vile he was right

02:42:00.660 like even the other clergy in iraq didn't want to associate with him

02:42:04.720 He immerses himself in his studies of the Holy Scriptures again.

02:42:10.720 He only communicates with very few of his pupils to stay abreast of the situation in Iran.

02:42:17.720 One of his few pillars is his family, who have followed him into exile.

02:42:23.720 it was this distant figure very little interest in anything other than his mosque

02:42:34.600 and his books it never went once two blocks from his house the other side to see a river

02:42:42.660 so they're trying to romanticize him as this scholar but what i'm hearing is that homini was 0.78

02:42:51.340 an uneducated bastard who never studied anything other than the quran never went anywhere never 0.97

02:42:58.540 traveled never experienced anything right like he was basically like the definition of like a 1.00

02:43:04.860 seventh century inbred uneducated jihadi who didn't even go outside of his home because he 0.93

02:43:11.900 was just like a savage low iq barbarian and and these people are trying to romanticize it somehow 0.93

02:43:18.780 he went to his mosque and came home for 14 years 0.97

02:43:22.720 so someone goes to a mosque and comes home for 14 years that's it nothing else no world

02:43:31.220 experience no education no nothing and they were romanticizing this guy and claiming he was like

02:43:38.260 like basically they were saying he was the next gandhi like that's how insane it was 0.80

02:43:43.260 meanwhile in iran in october 1967 the shah continues the grandeur of the old days

02:43:53.280 the shah had always stressed that he wanted to achieve something for his country before ascending

02:43:58.820 the peacock throne with this is so important so so remember guys remember the shah okay the shah

02:44:06.300 started his reign in 1941. Okay, so he became the Shah of Iran in 1941. He didn't officially

02:44:17.460 coronate himself until 1967, because when he became the Shah of Iran in 1941, he was

02:44:28.460 so much, like he put Iran first so much that he said, I will not coronate myself until I have 0.72

02:44:40.260 fixed Iran. That's how much he loved his country. That's how much he was Iran first, okay?

02:44:47.120 So he didn't even have a coronation ceremony until 26 years after he became the Shah, 0.69

02:44:55.040 Because his focus was on Iran. His focus was on modernizing Iran. His focus was on making Iran a better place for Iranians. And then when he finally achieved his goals, then in 1967, he had a coronation ceremony. 0.55

02:45:13.620 I don't know of any other monarch who waited 26 years for a coronation ceremony.

02:45:24.680 And yet somehow this guy is an authoritarian dictator. 0.66

02:45:28.740 Do you see the nonsense? 0.92

02:45:30.220 I hope you're starting to see the propaganda and nonsense here because there is a lot of lies and disinformation out there. 0.98

02:45:40.660 and these jihadis and these communists and these islamists they never they never they never talk 0.72

02:45:47.860 about the fact that the shah waited 26 years before coronating himself because he wanted to

02:45:54.240 improve iran for the shah gave women in iran the right to vote before his coronation ceremony

02:46:02.220 Remember that.

02:46:32.220 the king of kings.

02:46:38.320 And he also crowns his wife, empress.

02:46:41.840 Something that has never happened before

02:46:43.940 in Persia's long history.

02:46:45.740 I love that.

02:46:54.280 So the fact that he crowned the empress of Iran,

02:47:00.920 the reason he did it is because he was so much into promoting women's rights remember

02:47:08.160 remember the shah gave Iranian women the right to vote in 1963 before switzerland

02:47:14.800 and portugal and i think someone mentioned sweden as well and so the coronation of of the empress

02:47:21.200 was symbolic in the sense of recognizing the importance of Iranian women in society

02:47:29.840 And again, that is something that would piss off Khomeini and the evil jihadis who wanted to impose Sharia law, right?

02:47:40.860 Like they did not like the fact that the Shah was empowering Iranian women.

02:47:46.380 They see the empowerment of women as Western corruption.

02:47:59.840 We love you. 0.97

02:48:08.840 In May and June 1967, the glamorous couple is on a state visit in West Germany.

02:48:19.840 They are welcomed by Federal President Lubcke and Federal Chancellor Kiesinger.

02:48:24.840 The visit mainly serves economic interests.

02:48:28.420 The Shah visits the big steel companies along the Rhine and Ruhr rivers, because he needs

02:48:32.840 support for the industrialization of his country, for instance with the construction of new reservoir

02:48:37.840 dams for the irrigation of farmland.

02:48:41.600 It's a lucrative opportunity for the German economy. 0.90

02:48:54.840 the ruling couple visits the german opera in berlin the ugly face of the shah regime is revealed 0.86

02:49:10.680 members of his secret service sabak attack demonstrators who are protesting against 0.66

02:49:15.400 suppression and torture in iran first of all that was a staged demonstration um by the communists

02:49:25.560 and the jihadis right again we already established and determined that the communists were funded by

02:49:33.320 the soviets right the documentary even said earlier by the way it's wild to me that um

02:49:42.120 people who are, you know, police officers who are tasked with the security of the Shah 0.69

02:49:48.280 are using sticks to push back violent demonstrators, and somehow the Savak are the savages. 0.90

02:50:00.640 That's literally what riot police do. Right? Like, riot police are tasked 1.00

02:50:07.800 with keeping the peace and if that means having to use force they do

02:50:12.560 but no one criticizes riot police and yet somehow

02:50:16.100 these people are considered savage

02:50:19.160 this is part of the lies and slander that the people used

02:50:25.560 the communists and marxists used to justify why the shah was again

02:50:31.440 sabuk is it's it's police it's police officers 0.56

02:50:34.940 their role is to maintain the security of the state and police officers are sanctioned by the

02:50:41.940 state to use force when necessary and it's crazy to me that this is somehow viewed as like a savage

02:50:52.220 tactic the situation escalates the visit of the shah and the protests against his like i've seen

02:51:01.000 police officers in Canada do far, far worse. It's wild.

02:51:31.000 commemorates the Persian Empire's 2,500 years of history with an ostentatious celebration.

02:51:37.940 In 1971, the biggest...

02:51:40.020 So I went over this yesterday. In my live stream yesterday, I went over the full documentary,

02:51:49.300 and I also explained how one of the lies that the Islamists used to justify the 1979 Islamic

02:51:58.180 revolution is they complained about the shah's party in the desert the party in the desert was

02:52:04.400 in fact the commemoration of the 2500 year anniversary of the persian empire and every

02:52:12.440 single penny that the shah invested in that celebration was rewarded tenfold because after

02:52:19.740 that celebration tourism in iran exploded because everyone now wanted to visit iran

02:52:27.400 and as someone who was a former politician i was in office for seven years i was in politics for

02:52:35.140 10 years every single government has a budget to spend on tourism culture and heritage right

02:52:45.380 governments understand well functioning governments understand and recognize

02:52:51.740 that it is important to invest in tourism and tourist attractions.

02:52:58.260 It is important to invest in heritage and culture

02:53:03.040 because that attracts tourists, and tourists are good for the economy.

02:53:10.180 Why do you think American governments invest in 4th of July celebrations?

02:53:19.040 Because it's good for the economy.

02:53:21.740 So the Shah, he was a very, very forward-thinking individual. In 1971, he invested in a ceremony, not just any ceremony. This wasn't like a random thing. This was literally the anniversary of 2,500 years of the Persian Empire.

02:53:43.580 Kind of a big deal, right? That's like Iran turned 2,500 years old. Most countries in the

02:53:52.920 world are not even 1,000 years old. America is not even 500 years old.

02:54:00.260 I think it was a pretty good thing. In fact, I wish the Shah had invested more 0.87

02:54:07.500 in that celebration. I would have loved for him to invest more. I wish he had this parade every

02:54:15.160 year because this would be a huge tourist attraction, right? Look at Oktoberfest in

02:54:21.240 Germany. Oktoberfest is about beer and sausages and yet it attracts hundreds of thousands if not

02:54:29.040 millions of people to Germany. And yet what you're about to hear in this documentary, I can

02:54:36.840 pretty much predict it. The Islamists used this celebration. They used this investment 0.92

02:54:45.280 in Iranian history and culture and tourism. And they turn it around because again, the jihadis 0.98

02:54:53.600 always lie. They said the Shah held an expensive party in the desert. And you're going to hear

02:54:59.100 that constantly, right? Expensive party in the desert. It was not an expensive party in the

02:55:04.020 desert. It was a 2,500 year commemoration of the birth of the Persian Empire. But the jihadis,

02:55:14.100 they don't like that. They don't like the Iranian identity. Again, for them, everything is about

02:55:20.060 Sharia law. Everything is about Islam, nothing else. And so this was a threat to them. The fact 0.98

02:55:29.080 that the Shah was putting the Iranian identity first before Islam was a threat to these jihadis 0.68

02:55:38.420 because they were hell-bent on imposing Sharia law. And the Persian Empire is older than that. 0.59

02:55:46.860 So that was a threat to the Islamists. You're going to hear about this now, but I'm giving 0.99

02:55:51.240 you some context so that when they start talking about the party in the desert, you know exactly

02:55:56.360 what it is and what i'm referring to in fact if you go to my live stream from yesterday

02:56:02.620 i spent about two to three hours walking you walking people through this exact um celebration

02:56:11.340 party in the world is held in the middle of the desert monarchs heads of state and dictators

02:56:18.140 attend so the reason it was held in the middle of the desert is because that's where persepolis is

02:56:25.720 it's not like the Shah just like randomly flew into the desert and said, I'm going to have a

02:56:30.480 party. No, they commemorated the 2,500 year anniversary of the Persian Empire at the capital

02:56:38.560 of the Persian Empire, which was Persepolis. That is where the tomb of Cyrus the Great is located.

02:56:45.920 Cyrus the Great is the founder of the Persian Empire. So the Shah decided to commemorate

02:56:52.940 the 2500 year birthday of iran at the tomb of cyrus the great so it's not like it was just

02:57:00.600 randomly deciding to party in the desert no it was at a significant historical site a site that

02:57:08.420 to this day is still very very important for the iranian people and every year iranian people

02:57:16.960 at this time actually around this time they will go to persepolis which is in the desert

02:57:22.700 to celebrate and commemorate the birthday of cyrus the great that's what the shah did

02:57:30.600 in 1979 and that's what the islamists were complaining about population is not invited 0.98

02:57:36.940 it was one of those things that the intention was well but the execution 0.53

02:57:47.920 of course of course the the communist lefty is going to complain because again everything the 0.56

02:57:54.440 shah does according to these people was wrong right again the shah could literally walk on

02:58:01.140 water and these people would accuse him of not knowing how to swim went so much in exaggerated

02:58:08.320 way mixed with cronyism and corruption that i think it backfired okay what cronyism and

02:58:16.860 corruption is he do you see how they just throw out these buzzwords again he just says oh there

02:58:22.600 was cronyism and corruption but no facts no examples what cronyism and corruption is he

02:58:28.720 speaking about because I don't know of any that's how these people are they operate based off of

02:58:34.880 lies this is how they built the case to overthrow the Shah in order to lead the white revolution to 0.85

02:58:44.960 success the shah upgrades the technology of the country with the help of capital assistance from

02:58:50.560 abroad he invests billions in electrification and numerous other industries he wants iran

02:58:57.600 to get in with modernity and become great again just like the persian empire was historically

02:59:06.000 i think that our country in the next 10 years will be what you are today i love him in the 0.90

02:59:12.720 next 25 years according to other people i'm not saying that will be among the shah was so educated

02:59:19.760 he was a visionary he was a man ahead of his time what sort of corrupt authoritarian dictator

02:59:27.760 invests billions of dollars into his own country to modernize it everything that you think you 0.95

02:59:36.080 know about him is a lie you have been lied to by the communists and by the islamists and every 0.92

02:59:43.840 single lie about the shah is actually an admission of their own guilt everything that they accuse the 0.94

02:59:50.560 shah of doing is actually what they have been doing themselves to the iranian people keep that

02:59:57.040 in mind this man is an amazing amazing man and we all love him five most prosperous countries of the

03:00:06.640 world to this end the shah also invests in nuclear energy us american and french companies want to

03:00:15.520 do this lucrative deal in the end however it's west german businesses who signed the deal with iran

03:00:27.040 so i see we have some new islamist and jihadi trolls in the youtube chat 0.94

03:00:36.740 um again you're still spouting the same propaganda you're saying the shah killed 0.92

03:00:42.020 thousands or whatever please give me the name of one innocent person

03:00:46.260 that the shah tortured or executed put it in the chat

03:00:49.980 put the name of one innocent person that the shah tortured or executed and give me one

03:00:58.260 one example you're not iranian but you think you know more about iran than us iranians

03:01:04.160 all right give me a name because if you think you know my country or my country's history better

03:01:10.440 than me please prove me wrong but until then just keep your propaganda to yourself 0.98

03:01:16.220 What a ridiculous statement. 0.93

03:01:40.040 So, Canada has a lot of oil and natural gas, and yet Canada has nuclear power stations as well. 0.96

03:01:51.320 Do you see how, like, they're trying to, like, paint, like, they are trying so desperately to paint a negative picture of the Shah? 0.86

03:02:02.280 No, that's not an A-10 warthog, it's a Farah Bahar.

03:02:04.680 But do you see, like, how, like, they are trying to find every possible angle they can to criticize the Shah.

03:02:17.040 And it's like, the United States literally wanted to get involved and help the Shah build nuclear facilities in Iran.

03:02:27.100 Right?

03:02:27.880 Because the United States and the Shah were allies.

03:02:31.360 the shah was an ally of the united states and yet somehow this random german guy thinks he knows

03:02:40.500 more about the shah than high-level officials in the united states at the time it's just these like

03:02:49.120 it's it's these small things that they put in this documentary that kind of like you know it

03:02:55.180 They're trying to desperately build a case to justify overthrowing the Shah, because when you actually look at the facts, you can see there was no justification and the whole thing was funded by the Soviets and everything that they said about the Shah was a lie.

03:03:25.180 or to invest the motivation came from the necessity of his time whether we like it or not

03:03:34.540 modernization is to a large extent westernization you can't modernize

03:03:42.060 i like how he's talking about westernization from the comfort of his western home right 0.97

03:03:49.580 these communists are scumbags he's criticizing the shah for wanting to modernize and westernize 0.96

03:04:00.220 iran and yet he's he's criticizing the shah from the comforts of a western country do you see the 1.00

03:04:06.460 hypocrisy here without westernizing

03:04:10.440 the capital tiran in particular opens itself up to the cultural lifestyle of the west 0.84

03:04:20.280 and becomes a modern metropolis veiled women are now hardly to be seen anywhere in the town

03:04:26.120 young people are allowed to travel without restrictions and educate themselves 0.78

03:04:30.660 wow look at that the shah was supposedly this corrupt authoritarian figure and yet young

03:04:41.960 people are free to educate themselves and they're free to travel i don't know about you but i don't

03:04:48.420 know of any um authoritarian country where young people are allowed to educate themselves and

03:04:57.060 freely travel. Do you guys know of a single authoritarian country where young people have

03:05:05.040 these sorts of freedoms? They enjoy all the advantages of a cosmopolitan city and show no

03:05:13.060 inhibitions. On the other hand, the political power structures don't change at all. They remain

03:05:22.340 traditionally monarchist and tailored to the shah 0.76

03:05:28.260 and why is that a problem there are many functional monarchies in the world

03:05:32.820 why why is that a problem i mean why change something when it's working perfectly fine

03:05:52.340 Oh my gosh, they brought in like another lefty, like, and he's not, he's literally saying oppositionists of the Shah's regime, right? So these are the people. So we have a word for people like this, okay? In Farsi, we call them like naslip hanjo hafti or whatever, which basically means the 79 generation. These are the people who ruined Iran, okay?

03:06:16.980 This Pidar Sukhdeh is responsible for turning Iran into the Islamic hellhole it is today. 1.00

03:06:27.100 They didn't like the fact that Iran was a functioning constitutional monarchy. 1.00

03:06:32.980 They were greedy. 0.58

03:06:34.080 They wanted power for themselves. 0.90

03:06:35.660 So they were literally willing to work with the Islamists to overthrow the Shah in order to gain some sort of power or control. 0.97

03:06:47.520 These people are vile. They are evil. 1.00

03:06:51.000 This is the woke left. These are the communists and socialists who are also now gaining power in your own countries.

03:06:58.920 oh my god so this guy as well is a supporter of the islamic republic

03:07:21.800 this guy is a supporter of the islamic republic oh my gosh

03:07:28.880 it's wild to me so it is absolutely wild to me that these jihadis are complaining about the shah

03:07:46.320 and yet they were literally advocating for sharia law the shah was actually modernizing iran people

03:07:56.180 were free to do what they wanted to do that pissed off the jihadi islamic clerics who wanted to impose

03:08:05.380 sharia law on people and yet they had the audacity to say that the shah was authoritarian they were 0.71

03:08:12.020 the ones who were authoritarian remember they were the ones who felt threatened by the fact

03:08:18.020 that the shah gave women the right to vote and they thought that that was a threat to their religion

03:08:24.340 and that's why they were held bent on imposing sharia law on iran they are the dictators they

03:08:30.820 They are the authoritarians, not the Shah.

03:08:42.100 Okay, so again, he's saying like, the Shah killed intellectuals.

03:08:46.680 Please, can you share the name of one intellectual that the Shah killed?

03:08:54.200 remember even in this very documentary when Khomeini himself was sentenced to death

03:09:01.280 the Shah showed mercy and changed his sentence to exile he exiled the Islamists instead of

03:09:11.040 executing him and then the jihadis came back and took control of Iran so this is one of those 0.91

03:09:20.000 islamist jihadi lies like they'll just spout it oh the shah killed intellectuals give me the name 0.86

03:09:25.360 of a single intellectual that the shah murdered and they can't they can't because it doesn't exist 0.99

03:09:31.600 this is just this right here is pure jihadi islamist propaganda and this man belongs in hell 0.76

03:09:38.320 in contrast in najab in iraq time seems to have stood still komeini holds lectures for a small

03:09:56.540 circle of students he thinks about what an islamic legal system could be like 0.88

03:10:01.260 with the clergy taking on a leading role he condemns the shallowness and pure sensual 0.92

03:10:08.200 pleasures of the west attacks the colonial powers and israel and so do you see do you see 0.97

03:10:17.180 what these jihadi people are all about it was always about attacking the west it was always 0.98

03:10:25.240 about attacking imperialism it was always about having this islamic caliphate that was governed 0.96

03:10:32.300 by these like these clerics literally believe that they have the god-given right to control 0.96

03:10:39.660 the world and to dictate how people can live their lives they literally think they have the right to

03:10:46.220 do that demands the end of separation of politics and religion the transcripts of the lectures are

03:10:56.300 published in a book about the islamic state i think i was one of the first people to read it

03:11:03.480 i was shocked by it but i like a lot of other simple people like me thought this would never

03:11:12.340 work this is a medieval idea iran that has had a constitutional revolution in 1905 okay guys

03:11:21.280 remember when i said to you earlier that iran was a constitutional monarchy there was a

03:11:27.640 democratically elected parliament how the hell could the shah be a dictator this guy now after

03:11:34.400 like all this time complaining about how the shah was an authoritarian figure and blah blah blah he

03:11:41.040 He now literally admitted that there was a constitutional revolution in 1905

03:11:46.520 and that Iran has been a constitutional monarchy since that time.

03:11:53.100 They are literally contradicting themselves in the same breath.

03:11:57.160 It is wild to me.

03:11:58.360 Oh, seven is not going to let the clergy come and let's go back.

03:12:04.980 It's like he's literally admitting and demand.

03:12:08.320 He's literally admitting that Iran was a constitutional monarchy. People had the right to vote. All of this, the Shah was an authoritarian, is complete and utter nonsense, guys. Like, do you see the lies? They are contradicting themselves.

03:12:23.000 It's the end of separation of politics and religion. The transcripts of the lectures are published in a book about the Islamic State.

03:12:30.520 I think I was one of the maybe first people to read it I was shocked by it but I like a lot of 0.96

03:12:40.440 other simple people like me thought this would never work this is a medieval idea Iran that has

03:12:48.440 had a constitutional revolution in 1905-07 is not going to let the clergy come and cut off people's

03:12:57.640 hands in public squares and it's not going to let the clergy rule because they know sharia 0.97

03:13:03.320 so even the leftists didn't take the threat of the jihadi seriously right because they were like

03:13:12.840 sharia law is never going to take over iran we've been a constitutional monarchy for so long we're

03:13:18.940 westernized but guys i'm telling you right now if it could happen to iran it can happen to your 0.58

03:13:25.700 countries. Because the Islamic Revolution didn't happen overnight. This was something in the making

03:13:31.160 for several decades. Remember, Khomeini tried to make Iran an Islamic Sharia state in 1941.

03:13:40.840 It didn't work. So then he basically took his time, and then he was successful in 1979.

03:13:47.680 and people didn't take the threat seriously because they never imagined 0.99

03:13:55.380 iran going from a modern westernized secular country to a 7th century islamic hellhole

03:14:01.840 governed by sharia law but that's what happened in iran if you guys don't pay attention in your

03:14:06.820 countries it could happen to you i was wrong as were a lot of other countries and forces

03:14:17.680 in iran this book about the islamic state is not published but banned they want to prevent

03:14:25.240 the radical ideas and theological demands of the shiite cleric from spreading

03:14:29.200 but the censorship only increases the fascination khamenei's book holds for the opponents of the 0.88

03:14:37.140 ruling class i hate this jihadi man i hate this jihadi man so so this evil demonic man who belongs

03:14:56.880 in hell was literally promoting khomeini's jihadi book right so like he was going to various 0.91

03:15:04.120 villages and basically converting people to join the cause of like the global caliphate.

03:15:12.520 those who politically oppose the shah's regime face imprisonment in the iranian secret

03:15:36.120 service savaks prison where torture and executions are daily fare

03:15:42.520 That is a complete lie. That is total and utter nonsense. These lies were actually debunked. It's actually the Islamic Republic that is torturing and murdering Iranians. In fact, on average, the Islamic Republic murders three Iranians a day. 0.97

03:16:06.220 We have the documents to back it up and prove that.

03:16:10.160 But these people who spread these lies about the Shah, they don't have the documents. 0.95

03:16:15.240 Again, these are Islamists. 0.96

03:16:16.560 You cannot trust what they say. 0.97

03:16:18.580 Everything that comes out of their mouth is a lie.

03:16:21.920 Everything that they have been accusing the Shah of doing is in fact what they have been doing to the Iranian people.

03:16:30.060 this was one thing the students had demonstrated against when the Shah visited Germany

03:16:38.240 and the other thing is that they corrupted the youth by spreading these lies and you guys have 0.59

03:16:45.760 to remember back in the 1970s there was no access to information right there was no internet there

03:16:54.360 were no cell phones there were no computers really the people at the time they actually

03:17:01.300 trusted the islamic clergy because you know they were supposed to be men of god they were supposed 0.77

03:17:08.180 to be righteous and truthful so when the islamic clergy were going around spreading lies about the 0.92

03:17:15.440 shah the people believed them because why would they lie and there was no way for people to fact 0.89

03:17:23.380 check so this is how the islamists and the communists were spreading um propaganda about 0.71

03:17:30.820 the shah and even to this day this document like this person is narrating the propaganda

03:17:38.100 but they have no proof to back it up right like they're just showing b-roll footage here

03:17:45.220 they're just showing b-roll footage but i hope you're getting a sense of the kinds of

03:17:53.380 propaganda that we Iranians have had to deal with from the Islamists for the last 47 years,

03:18:00.200 if not longer. There is no getting out of the dreaded detention center, 0.90

03:18:04.480 which was built by German architects in the 1930s. 0.99

03:18:13.480 Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. I mean, they're probably not going to mention it in this documentary,

03:18:18.780 but film mystery absolutely right the same people who were claiming that the shah tortured people

03:18:25.100 also said that they saw the face of khomeini in the moon and that was a sign from god that

03:18:31.180 homini should be the the leader of the islamic revolution like that's how insane these people

03:18:35.900 were politicians who are active today like the current supreme religious leader ali khamenei 0.87

03:18:41.740 were imprisoned there during the reign of the okay we're gonna go back because this is really

03:18:48.140 important. So, they're talking about all these like, oh, the poor innocent political prisoners.

03:18:57.360 One of those political prisoners is the current dictator of the Islamic Republic,

03:19:04.220 Khomeini. He is just as evil as the original Khomeini, okay? He was a prisoner here.

03:19:15.380 However, if the Shah was so cruel, if the Shah was so savage, how the hell is Khamenei alive today?

03:19:26.760 The people that the Shah imprisoned, I'll tell you exactly who the Shah imprisoned.

03:19:31.680 He had about 3,000 people in these jails.

03:19:38.260 And all of those people that he had imprisoned, they were terrorists. 0.92

03:19:43.560 They were either Marxist terrorists funded by the Soviets, or they were Islamic terrorists, okay?

03:19:53.760 Khamenei, again, Khamenei, the current supreme dictator of the Islamic Republic, 0.69

03:19:59.140 who is responsible for the deaths of millions of people, was in this jail. 0.61

03:20:04.680 So the next time someone says to you, or someone spouts that jihadi propaganda

03:20:11.300 that the Shah had political prisoners,

03:20:15.320 ask them, who were those political prisoners?

03:20:19.460 Because none of those political prisoners

03:20:21.960 were innocent people.

03:20:24.440 They were all terrorists 0.99

03:20:26.760 and they were all a threat to society. 1.00

03:20:30.860 And the Shah's biggest mistake 0.86

03:20:32.440 is that he was not ruthless enough. 0.97

03:20:36.260 He should not have shown mercy to those savages

03:20:39.120 because those savages, 0.80

03:20:40.260 have caused death and destruction in Iran for the last 47 years. 0.94

03:20:47.000 And Khamenei is one of them.

03:20:48.840 Pay attention to this part.

03:20:50.040 This was one thing the students had demonstrated against 0.51

03:20:53.080 when the Shah visited Germany. 0.90

03:20:55.780 There is no getting out of the dreaded detention center, 0.89

03:20:59.040 which was built by German architects in the 1930s. 0.98

03:21:05.420 Here's the part.

03:21:07.480 Iranian politicians who are active today

03:21:09.920 like the current supreme religious leader Ali Khamenei, were imprisoned there during the reign

03:21:15.140 of the Shah. Okay, Khamenei is not an Iranian politician because that implies that there's

03:21:22.240 some sort of functioning political system in Iran. Khamenei is a dictator. He is the supreme

03:21:31.080 dictator of the islamic republic he is an evil evil man the shah was 100 right in imprisoning 1.00

03:21:41.160 him because he is a danger to society as we all know did they do bad things absolutely did they 1.00

03:21:50.680 torture people absolutely you can't forget that they actually did torture people they tortured

03:21:56.040 a lot of people they executed a lot of people uh it's all lies he has no proof to back it up again

03:22:03.960 that's what the communists do they'll just say oh and he just repeats it right oh did they of course

03:22:09.080 they did they did it to so many people did but he can't give like a single name or an example

03:22:14.760 because these people are lying but the opposition was also very successful in exaggerating the

03:22:21.800 number of people who were in prison we used to say in the confederation that there that there are

03:22:27.640 hundreds of thousands of prisoners in iran the actual number was about four thousand did you

03:22:34.440 hear that so leading up to the revolution he just admitted he literally just admitted that his side

03:22:43.800 lied about how many political prisoners the shah had because they wanted to inflate the numbers

03:22:50.040 and they wanted to build a case against the Shah.

03:22:53.720 So they claimed that there were hundreds of thousands of political prisoners.

03:23:00.240 Now, he said the number was 4,000, but it's actually 3,000.

03:23:05.200 And every single one of those people were either Marxist terrorists 0.96

03:23:09.860 or they were Islamic terrorists, right? 0.79

03:23:13.660 And he just admitted that they actually lied to build a case against the Shah.

03:23:20.040 dissent or worse resistance had no place in the shah's regime there is no open political dialogue

03:23:28.240 on the country's social and political development that's completely false the shah banned communism

03:23:36.380 why did the shah ban communism because communism is a threat to society communism destabilizes

03:23:44.520 societies. The Shah was right in banning communism. And in fact, there are many

03:23:50.340 Western European countries right now that are banning communism. The Czech Republic

03:23:56.760 just passed legislation to ban communism in the Czech Republic because they view it as a threat

03:24:05.020 to their society. They view it as something that will destabilize and could possibly

03:24:11.120 overthrow the government does that mean the czech republic is a dictatorship

03:24:15.880 that the czech republic is an authoritarian system no communism is the enemy of the west

03:24:22.580 and yet somehow this documentary is making it seem as if the shah was an authoritarian figure no he

03:24:31.200 was protecting iranian society by banning those ideologies that pose a threat like communism

03:24:38.700 like islamism parties from left to right are mostly silenced

03:24:44.740 the opposition has fled abroad or is imprisoned the shahs by opposition again the opposition that 0.82

03:24:54.400 has fled abroad is khomeini right the evil the evil uh jihadi islamic cleric who wants to impose 0.96

03:25:02.920 sharia law that's the opposition that they're referring to right it's either the islamists 0.93

03:25:10.680 or the marxists of course they're going to be in prison because they are opposing 0.98

03:25:17.960 the the existence of the society itself autocratic regime 0.92

03:25:23.400 results in him losing contact with the people in his country more and more

03:25:32.920 It develops only then, when people have a certain autonomy.

03:25:48.920 That means, when they take their own fate into their hand.

03:25:54.920 This is a democracy process.

03:25:57.920 So he says, without the participation of the people, nothing will happen.

03:26:11.460 The Shah literally gave women the right to vote in 1963.

03:26:15.080 There were functioning parliaments.

03:26:17.880 We literally just heard from an Iranian woman who was a member of parliament during the Shah's time.

03:26:25.560 she got elected in she was voted in to be a parliamentarian for instance the dealers on

03:26:35.540 the markets play an important social role in iran millions of people come and shop with them every

03:26:41.280 day the shah however doesn't really take the bazaris the market dealers into consideration

03:26:47.060 in his politics of westernization department stores chain stores and supermarkets like the

03:26:53.220 The ones you can find in the West threaten their livelihood.

03:26:56.220 The Shah doesn't realize the consequences of his policies and how many enemies he creates for himself with them.

03:27:23.220 Tehran in particular with its modern high-rise buildings becomes the symbol

03:27:30.420 of this belief in progress but many people can't keep up with the Shah's

03:27:35.160 pace so they turn to that institution which is familiar to them and which

03:27:40.380 gives them security in their insecurity it completely went after the left whether

03:27:47.900 it was the left that was dependent on the Soviet Union or whether it was

03:27:53.220 Did you hear that?

03:27:56.520 So he literally just admitted what I have been saying this entire time.

03:28:00.840 The Shah was going after people who were being funded by the Soviet Union to destabilize Iran.

03:28:12.580 When you are funded by a foreign government to destabilize your country, that's called treason.

03:28:21.120 This guy is literally complaining that the Shah was going after people who were traitors to Iran.

03:28:33.000 He's literally admitting that there was a Russian destabilization project that was happening in Iran.

03:28:43.140 He just said that.

03:28:46.880 Listen to this.

03:28:51.120 it completely went after the left whether it was the left that was dependent on the soviet union

03:28:57.360 or whether it was a social democratic left the only people what what does he mean when

03:29:03.200 he says the left that was dependent on the soviet union do you see how these communists operate do

03:29:11.280 you see how the soviet union has tentacles everywhere and the shah saw that and he was

03:29:16.160 trying to prevent the influence of the soviets in in his own country and then this this lefty 0.95

03:29:26.800 this communist is complaining as if that was a bad thing who were allowed to build mosques 0.59

03:29:33.600 build schools teach their own cadres were religious works and you you bring millions into 0.85

03:29:41.680 the cities in shanty towns concentrate them made them easy to mobilize and allow the clergy to be

03:29:50.400 the only one who's active there and then people are surprised that the revolution was won by the 0.93

03:29:56.000 clergy the shah has many mosques renovated in the 1970s the number of quran schools also rises

03:30:04.880 immensely. This way, he wants to assure the clergy how important Islam as an essential foundation of

03:30:11.860 Iranian society is to him. So even though the Shah was a Muslim himself, and even though he was

03:30:20.320 building mosques, that was not enough for the clergy in Iran, because they did not like the

03:30:27.460 fact that the Shah was modernizing Iran. He did not like the fact that women were given the right

03:30:33.580 to vote, they did not like the fact that women did not have to cover their hair if they didn't

03:30:39.960 want to. So no matter how much the Shah tried to appease the Islamists, it was never good enough

03:30:47.540 for them. Take that as a lesson. You cannot negotiate with terrorists. If you give them an 0.98

03:30:53.840 inch, they will take a mile. And no matter how much the Shah tried to appease them,

03:30:59.580 they still ended up overthrowing him and imposing sharia law on iran remember that

03:31:07.340 despite focusing his politics on the west

03:31:10.300 with his public appearances and his annual pilgrimages to the city of mashad

03:31:17.620 which is one of the seven holy cities of islam he hopes to keep the clergy securely on his side

03:31:29.580 He saw religion as his last line of defense. He saw religion as his most powerful stronghold within the country and that's where he made massive miscalculation, massive strategic and ideological and political miscalculation because what he thought of as his most powerful stronghold and backing turned out to be his most fatal.

03:31:59.580 and dangerous enemy the first protest marches against the shah take place in

03:32:08.000 calm in 1978 the reason is a defamatory article against Khomeini which is

03:32:15.820 published in a big Iranian daily newspaper the article accuses him and the

03:32:20.800 clergy of counter-revolution his followers organize a demonstration of

03:32:25.760 support it was a very fast-moving revolution maybe it is the fastest

03:32:32.420 revolution in human history because everything happened within four months

03:32:36.140 with every passing day the resolve of the Shah's regime to stay in power was

03:32:42.380 weakening and the resolve of the opposition to demand his removal was

03:32:47.120 increasing there were fatalities during this demonstration in calm according to

03:32:55.220 islamic custom the dead are commemorated every 40 days soon hundreds of thousands take to the

03:33:02.340 streets each time there are more of them oh guys this is so hard to watch because this is like

03:33:09.700 watching a horror movie in slow motion again this is why i don't usually watch documentaries about

03:33:16.400 the islamic republic and the islamic revolution specifically not um in english because of all 0.83

03:33:22.040 propaganda i mean the islamic revolution is horrific as it is but all of the lies and

03:33:29.240 propaganda um and disinformation about the shah makes it even more frustrating to watch because

03:33:35.880 it's like it just adds insult to injury the shah wasn't anticipating this kind of resistance

03:33:44.120 it catches him and his regime completely off guard the growing power of the streets paralyzes him

03:33:52.040 On August the 19th, 1978, an arson attack on cinema wrecks in the oil city of Abadan kills 422 people.

03:34:00.220 The opposition blames the Iranian Secret Service and the Shah. 0.99

03:34:03.480 Okay, so this is important, guys. 0.92

03:34:05.600 So one of the main sort of sparks that caused all the violence and eventually the overthrow of the Shah was this theater.

03:34:18.940 OK, so basically what happened is the jihadis, right, the Islamists, the Islamic terrorists barred the doors of a movie theater and they lit it on fire, murdering everyone inside. 0.52

03:34:34.900 Right. Like 300, 400 people were burned to death in that theater. 0.94

03:34:39.620 It was called Cinema Rex.

03:34:41.560 But then they blamed the Shah.

03:34:44.620 They blamed Sabak.

03:34:45.820 Okay, so when you hear all of these people in the comments who come, oh, the Shah was a dictator, Savak killed hundreds of people. They're referring to this incident. However, however, it came out after the fact. Okay, so after the Islamic revolution was successful, the truth came out.

03:35:11.980 The Shah did not do this.

03:35:13.980 Savak did not do this.

03:35:15.460 It was the jihadis themselves who did this.

03:35:18.140 The jihadis literally murdered innocent Iranians

03:35:21.980 and then they blamed the Shah and Savak

03:35:24.840 in order to justify overthrowing the Shah

03:35:29.380 and over to build a case to overthrow the Shah.

03:35:33.760 And by the time people found out the truth,

03:35:36.080 it was already too late. 0.99

03:35:38.120 The Islamists had taken over. 0.97

03:35:39.780 so do you see how they lie they lied about everything and they're constantly lying 0.58

03:35:47.200 later on there's a growing body of evidence for the clergy being behind the attack

03:35:53.280 with khomeini as the mastermind in the background did you hear that did you hear that now

03:35:58.920 i don't like the fact that he says there's a growing body of evidence it has literally it

03:36:05.120 has literally been proven that the islamic clergy were behind this mass murder of innocent iranians

03:36:15.180 they literally created a false flag scenario to justify overthrowing the shah that is how evil 0.96

03:36:24.260 and demonic these people are they they murdered innocent iranians for their jihad 0.84

03:36:30.540 it was a different story both in magnitude and the anger and in the slogans for the first time

03:36:40.740 I heard thousands of people say death to the Shah that would have been unimaginable in 77

03:36:48.180 the protest of the masses turns into open violence

03:36:53.760 Tehran. So do you see the jihadis murder innocent Iranians and then they tell everyone that the

03:37:01.400 Shah did it and then the people get mad and they take to the streets and that's how the violence

03:37:06.480 starts. So all of this was orchestrated. The entire Islamic revolution was based on lie after lie after 0.83

03:37:13.760 lie. The military intervenes. On the 8th of September 1978, a day which will go down in 1.00

03:37:23.220 Iranian history as Black Friday, 64 people are killed on the central Jaleh Square.

03:37:29.720 The opposition claims there were 15,000 deaths. A general strike ensues.

03:37:35.120 So do you see again how they lie? Okay. I mean, this is no different than Hamas, right? You know,

03:37:41.360 like when Hamas claims that like, I don't know, Israel murdered 2 million Palestinian baby doctors 0.99

03:37:48.240 or I don't know, whatever garbage nonsense they put out. But then when you actually look at the 0.98

03:37:52.720 facts you see it was like something completely different that's exactly what happened here they

03:37:58.100 claimed again right they claim thousands of people were murdered but then it turns out it was only

03:38:04.380 64 and by the way they're the ones who started the violence paralyzing the country

03:38:11.580 i'm not denying the genocide there there is no genocide for me to deny there's no genocide in

03:38:29.400 in gaza it's fake news

03:38:33.200 so guys this is important pay attention this evil evil leftist so this guy 0.86

03:38:56.640 is not an islamist he's one of those communists right so he's basically explaining 0.58

03:39:00.800 that the left joined with the Islamists

03:39:04.880 because they were united in their goal

03:39:07.680 to overthrow the Shah, right?

03:39:10.300 They were fighting imperialism.

03:39:12.480 That's exactly what's happening today

03:39:14.640 in Western countries where, you know, 0.96

03:39:17.780 all the pro-Balastine, whatever, Hamas people, 0.79

03:39:21.700 the Islamists, the jihadis,

03:39:23.240 are being supported by the woke left

03:39:26.300 because they both are anti-imperialist. 0.58

03:39:30.800 what's happening today is exactly what happened in iran and and this this traitor to iran is

03:39:39.340 admitting it he's admitting that he literally joined the islamists because they wanted to 0.70

03:39:44.700 overthrow the shah they wanted to destabilize society so when those jihadis in your countries

03:39:50.880 are burning your flags going to the streets and causing violence and then they're being 0.75

03:39:56.040 joined by the left it's not a joke guys take it very seriously because it happened in iran and 0.66

03:40:03.480 it could happen to you right so so he's saying we would overthrow the shah and then we would deal

03:40:14.840 with khomeini after that's that was literally what the leftists thought they thought that they could 0.73

03:40:18.840 control the islamists and that's why they sided with them i like to set it at the behest of the

03:40:27.480 shah the government declares khomeini a persona non grata he's forced to leave his exile in najaf 0.98

03:40:34.760 his confidants advise him to leave for europe which he declines at first what is he to do in

03:40:42.040 a non-islamic country he is wrong when he goes to neufle le chateau a little suburb of paris 0.90

03:40:49.240 thousands of his followers from all over the world flock there

03:40:54.280 western politicians and intellectuals like jean-paul sartre michel foucault and francois

03:40:59.800 metterrand also support komeini it is wild to me it is wild to me that the so-called western 0.97

03:41:08.120 intellectuals supported a savage uneducated jihadi who had no world experience no education 0.67

03:41:18.840 this man as we can see from other parts of the documentary he wanted to overthrow the

03:41:27.720 shah because he wanted to bring sharia law to iran this man did not believe that women

03:41:33.640 should have the right to vote and yet he was supported by western intellectuals like how 0.73

03:41:40.280 insane is it how insane is it that these people were supporting a seventh century islamic dictator

03:41:51.160 who thinks women are second-class citizens and they supported him over the shah they supported him

03:41:56.600 over the man who actually gave women the right to vote and treated them equally.

03:42:06.280 In France, he suddenly finds himself the center of the global public.

03:42:14.040 He was suddenly catapulted into an international celebrity 0.96

03:42:18.520 and was much more clever than the Shah, the British,

03:42:24.800 the Iranian opposition gave him credit for. Because initially the idea was that they would

03:42:32.580 send him to Neuf le Chateau and he would become an embarrassment. He would say reactionary things

03:42:38.600 and would frighten people. Well, he didn't say the reactionary things. He was very careful.

03:42:44.860 He never once in a hundred, I think, ten interviews, never once mentioned the word 0.90

03:42:50.480 So, even the leftist is admitting that this evil, demonic man was lying. 0.99

03:42:59.580 Remember, jihadis lie. 0.95

03:43:02.040 So, this devil man did 110 interviews, but he never actually spoke the truth. 0.84

03:43:12.100 All he did was complain about the Shah, but he never said what his real intentions are. 0.83

03:43:16.140 remember his intention was to impose sharia law on iran but he never said that and all the western

03:43:24.700 leftist intellectuals but do not trust jihadis guys do not trust jihadis they are not your 0.88

03:43:32.820 friends they are your enemies they will lie everything coming out of their mouths is a lie 0.99

03:43:39.800 i don't know how anyone could look at the face of this evil devil man and think that he was a good 0.67

03:43:46.440 person like who said it he's lying he's lying about everything here

03:44:02.840 komeini mentions none of the radical ideas he expressed in his book on the islamic state

03:44:07.800 isn't it wild he literally wrote a book on how he wants to create an islamic state

03:44:17.560 and yet none of the western intellectuals ever bothered to do any sort of research

03:44:24.840 into his background no one bothered to read his book maybe if someone had read his jihadi book

03:44:31.560 they would have been like hmm guys let's let's take a step back here maybe we shouldn't support

03:44:39.800 the evil demonic man who thinks women should be stoned to death for adultery maybe that's not a

03:44:47.000 good idea no one in the west ever paused to stop and think that instead they just believed his 0.58

03:44:53.840 lies because again it's all takia right it's all takia you're literally seeing how takia works

03:45:00.160 and they they supported him over the man who was actually empowering women and modernizing iran

03:45:11.440 since his writings are banned in iran and unknown in the west

03:45:17.780 no one can confront him with them his speeches against the shah are recorded and distributed in

03:45:24.420 Iran. So not only was Khomeini deceiving people in the West, but his jihadi army, they were 0.82

03:45:41.880 still corrupting and influencing people in Iran. 0.96

03:46:00.040 The generals in Iran are waiting for the Shah to give them the order to crack down on the

03:46:04.320 insurgents.

03:46:06.700 But he is weakened by cancer and doesn't signal anything of that sort. 0.99

03:46:11.380 military is that's not okay so that is a stupid reason the shah um yes he had cancer but that's 0.97

03:46:20.060 not the reason why the army didn't attack the people the reason that the army did not attack 0.99

03:46:27.320 the people is because the shah loved his people and he did not want to cause any violence or

03:46:35.320 bloodshed. That's the reason why he did not call the army on the people. And for this documentary

03:46:43.700 to blame that decision on his cancer is disingenuous, and it's false. It's completely

03:46:55.780 false. And in fact, in one of his, in the last interview that the Shah ever did prior to passing 0.73

03:47:02.660 away this was you know a year after the um islamic revolution happened the shah said i chose not to

03:47:10.900 call the army on my people because i love my people and i did not want to see any bloodshed

03:47:15.960 all the violence was being caused by the islamists again the islamists literally murdered 0.99

03:47:22.060 300 people in a movie theater in order to justify overthrowing the shah 0.99

03:47:28.500 plexed and backs off

03:47:31.780 when the soldiers stop shooting at the people the people put flowers in their guns and give

03:47:42.080 them pictures of khomeini they celebrate their new leader in a televised appeal to the iranian

03:47:49.000 people the shah wants to change tack one more time no the jj christensen the shah was not the

03:47:58.260 violent one that is that is false information that is russian islamist communist propaganda

03:48:21.700 he looked weak he looked absolutely despondent 0.79

03:48:25.700 he wasn't weak the guy had leukemia i can't i hate this leftist you couldn't read the text

03:48:34.320 and the point that he was saying is that i have heard that's the famous phrase i have heard the

03:48:42.080 call of your revolution and give me another chance and people saw it rightly as a sign of

03:48:51.640 weakness if ever there was a sign that he is not going to be able to master the situation that was

03:48:59.080 to me the speech the crisis in iran also causes ripples at international level french president

03:49:08.040 of state giscard astin invites the german chancellor helmut schmidt u.s president carter

03:49:13.640 and british prime minister callahan to guadeloupe for a conference here they decide on the fate of

03:49:19.800 Iran this means that the Western powers dropped the Shah and his regime on the

03:49:49.360 16th of January 1979 the Shah and his family leave Iran the Shah expects the

03:49:55.780 crisis to be over soon so that he can return it turns out to be a farewell for 0.74

03:50:01.180 good the Shah was a good King for the time of peace he wasn't a good

03:50:19.180 king for the time of big trouble it was really uh double personality i really hate how these 0.78

03:50:26.940 islamists and these lefties they basically criticized the shah every step of the way

03:50:32.780 and then now now when the islamic revolution happened all of a sudden oh he was a great

03:50:40.140 shah in the time of peace he was a great person okay weren't you the ones who said he was an

03:50:46.460 authoritarian figure how the hell could he be an authoritarian figure but now you're claiming that

03:50:51.020 he was a great shah it's one lie after another with these people and now the reason the lefties 0.64

03:50:58.540 are lying about this is because they're trying to save face because they actually supported 0.93

03:51:03.980 the jihadis and overthrowing the shah they are responsible for the islamists turning 0.66

03:51:11.020 Iran into a 7th century hellhole governed by Sharia law. That's very, very stupid. Again, 1.00

03:51:32.680 he was not timid. The guy had leukemia. He was going to get cancer treatment.

03:51:37.060 god i hate these leftists so again like they claim he was an authoritarian but now all of a 0.92

03:51:46.260 sudden he was timid like it's insane it's insane to me it's it's a contradiction they're they're 0.58

03:51:52.700 lying about everything but already became the point of union 14 days later on the 1st of

03:52:01.580 February 1979 Khomeini flies from Paris to Tehran no one knows how this is the day that the nightmare

03:52:10.120 started the the moment that the Shah left Iran light and goodness and purity left and then this 0.84

03:52:19.020 evil demonic man brought with him death and destruction and despair and this is the start

03:52:26.120 of a 47 year old nightmare that we iranians are still are still living through and we're trying 0.85

03:52:33.960 to wake up from this journey will end will the shah's military force the plane to turn back 0.95

03:52:39.720 or even shoot it down to prevent komeini from returning

03:52:56.120 i can't this is like this is watching years of exile komeini now steps on by the way do you see

03:53:15.560 like air air france literally like the french government contributed to turning iran into an

03:53:23.480 an Islamic hellhole. So, you know, it wasn't just the communists. It wasn't just the Islamists. 0.95

03:53:28.120 It was also Jimmy Carter. It was France. It was a UK, right? French people, your government 0.79

03:53:39.380 used your taxpayer dollars to fund Islamic terrorism. They flew this evil, demonic man 1.00

03:53:47.960 to iran using your taxpayer dollars to iranian soil again millions of people frenetically 0.85

03:53:55.840 celebrate his return after 2500 years the persian monarchy has outlived its usefulness 0.85

03:54:03.360 not true because again guys the shah never abdicated the shah never keep that up the shah

03:54:09.960 never abdicated the throne khomeini is received as the new savior no one has any idea of the

03:54:17.160 consequences okay the new savior savior of what savior of modernization remember the shah was

03:54:29.560 modernizing iran khomeini didn't like that he wanted to impose sharia law so so who exactly

03:54:37.120 was he the savior of and what was he saving

03:54:40.980 which the islamic revolution will have for the iranian state

03:54:49.060 virtually all our intellectuals supported khomeini from right to left including those

03:55:10.160 who had supported the shah all our big business you know our big tycoons you know our billionaires

03:55:18.520 they all support him so he had created a degree of unity among all these yeah he only created 0.94

03:55:28.800 unity because he needed them as soon as the islamic republic got into power they executed 0.87

03:55:35.320 30,000 people. So all of these intellectuals on the left 0.98

03:55:39.420 that supported Khomeini coming into power, the vast majority of them 0.79

03:55:43.440 were actually executed by the Islamists.

03:55:48.900 Different factions in Tehran, which was 1.00

03:55:51.740 impressive. Khomeini's first visits

03:55:55.820 are to the Behesht-e-Zakhra cemetery on the outskirts of Tehran, where

03:55:59.660 the victims of the Shah regime are buried, and to the holy city of Qom,

03:56:03.800 where his resistance began many years before

03:56:06.600 the confrontation i just want to say like so for non-iranians as an iranian watching this this is

03:56:20.660 like um i don't know watching like hitler take over germany right

03:56:27.680 except for me it's even worse because this man is killing Iranians

03:56:35.360 between these two could be summarized to the confrontation of two opposing will

03:56:41.780 and in such a confrontation it is always the stronger will that will win you know and that's

03:56:48.520 what exactly what happened in Iran Khomeini's will was far stronger to conquer 1.00

03:56:57.460 power yeah of course his will was stronger because he was a jihadi you idiot that's what 1.00

03:57:04.000 jihad that's what islamists do again remember guys khomeini's supporters literally burned 1.00

03:57:12.060 innocent people alive and blamed it on the shah in order to get people to come out to the streets

03:57:18.160 and protest the islamic clergy in iran murdered iranians so they could overthrow the shah and

03:57:25.980 turn Iran into a 7th century Islamic dictatorship governed by Sharia law. So of course he's going 0.85

03:57:32.200 to have more power, you idiot. Then the Shah's will to keep power. After an odyssey through 1.00

03:57:42.460 several countries, the Shah dies of terminal cancer in Cairo on the 27th of July, 1980.

03:57:48.820 He lived to be 60 years of age. His body is buried in the Al Rifai Mosque in the Egyptian

03:57:55.340 what a sad day ayatollah khomeini dies of a heart attack on the 3rd june 1989 in tehran

03:58:06.780 his resting place is a mausoleum during his 10-year reign he implemented his ideas of an

03:58:15.400 islamic revolution with uncompromising vigor and turned iran into a theocracy thus not just a 0.79

03:58:23.200 theocracy, he turned Iran into 0.95

03:58:25.220 a 7th century Islamic 1.00

03:58:27.040 hellhole governed by Sharia law. 1.00

03:58:30.920 Setting a dynamic in motion 1.00

03:58:32.740 which even today keeps the world

03:58:35.340 in suspense.

03:58:47.820 Wow.

03:58:50.020 Difficult to watch.

03:58:53.200 So that was the first documentary that I watched with my commentary.

03:58:58.980 I have to give this a rating out of 10. 0.99

03:59:01.440 So for the Iranians who are in the chat, what would you rate this out of 10? 1.00

03:59:07.580 I mean, I haven't watched other documentaries yet. 0.91

03:59:11.480 This is just the first one.

03:59:14.720 So it's difficult to rate.

03:59:16.740 I mean, I would probably give this a 4 out of 10.

03:59:20.560 maybe a five I don't know but like there's a lot of propaganda in there um no it has to be from

03:59:30.700 like zero to ten and I don't want to go like zero because two out of ten guys I don't you know what

03:59:42.500 I don't even know if this documentary was that bad

03:59:45.640 two out of ten zero out of ten okay but no we can't give it zero because because

03:59:54.020 um shah banu was in it right

03:59:58.180 shah banu was in it you know what it didn't full of it didn't tell both sides guys it didn't tell

04:00:07.100 both sides because it focused more on the communist and the islamist side like i did not see i did not

04:00:14.580 see a single pro-Shah person there. In fact, I think the only pro-Shah person aside from the

04:00:23.140 Empress was the woman politician, right? The only pro-Shah person was the woman politician, 0.88

04:00:30.280 the woman parliamentarian. And they only had her speak one time. And I guarantee you guys, 0.82

04:00:37.560 I guarantee they probably cut her interview short because whatever she said probably did not fit their narrative, right?

04:00:46.780 Because this entire documentary was trying to paint the Shah as an authoritarian figure.

04:00:53.540 And she probably countered that narrative with the truth. 0.51

04:00:59.260 A three, four, one.

04:01:04.240 i'm kind of feeling a three and the only reason i'm saying three is because the empress is in it

04:01:13.400 so at least they gave the empress an opportunity to speak right and i don't want to go too low

04:01:20.780 because what if there are documentaries that are worse than this one three works okay

04:01:28.080 all right guys so i will make sure that in the description so what i'm gonna do

04:01:36.560 is um you know in the description of this live stream after i'll make sure to rate it as a three

04:01:42.780 um are there any documentaries that would show the truth still you know what actually i don't know

04:01:50.720 because i've never really watched documentaries about the islamic republic in english i only

04:01:58.060 um i only look at um iranian sources because um iranian historians are much more accurate

04:02:08.280 um unfortunately the english version documentaries are full of propaganda or misleading facts or

04:02:16.220 contradiction like this one had so many contradictions right and if you're not iranian

04:02:21.140 you don't you can't really catch on because you're just not as familiar with it um so the reason i

04:02:27.920 did this is because I'm actually trying to find a good documentary because a lot of people have

04:02:34.320 asked me to explain why the 1979 Islamic Revolution happened. And the truth is it happened because

04:02:43.240 this evil demonic man Khomeini was hell-bent on turning Iran into a 7th century Islamic hellhole 0.91

04:02:51.000 governed by sharia law and ultimately he murdered innocent iranian people and blamed the shah and 0.92

04:02:58.920 sabak and those jihadi lies were spread people believed it and then they overthrew the shah

04:03:05.240 so um yeah this one's a three but there are a lot of documentaries out there and and guys

04:03:16.120 For you, if you find a documentary about Iran or about the Islamic Revolution, you know, on YouTube or wherever, and you want me to watch it and critique it, let me know in the comments, not in the live chat here.

04:03:35.000 Like, don't put it in the live chat.

04:03:36.220 Put it in the, you know, in the comments below after to this video.

04:03:41.380 And let's start watching them.

04:03:44.040 I mean, I'm going to be watching these documentaries anyway, so I might as well live stream them.

04:03:48.940 And you guys are welcome to join me and we'll rate and critique the documentaries.

04:03:54.000 So this was the first one seemed to go well.

04:03:56.720 I really appreciate everyone being here.

04:03:59.980 I appreciate your comments, your feedback.

04:04:48.620 live stream and I'm going to be explaining to you the Iranian reaction to President Trump

04:04:58.220 bombing the nuclear facilities in Iran. You don't want to miss that because everything

04:05:04.280 that you think you know about what Iranians think and feel about America and the United States 1.00

04:05:11.340 is probably wrong and the truth will shock you. So tune in tomorrow because I will walk you through 1.00

04:05:25.780 for the non-Iranians, especially for my American followers, you will get the truth about what 0.77

04:05:40.280 And as always, payan de iran, jabid shah.
