This is Why the Late Shah Got sacked!

Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi of Iran gives statement on oil ownership at OPEC conference: Tehran; 25 January 1971

The statement at the start of video clip reads, "The vast world's oil empire is one the most inhumane governments that the world has seen throuought history. A government with no ethics or principles and no social or humane justice. Their exploitation and inhumanity and force is limitless and knows no bounds because these world eaters are detached from humanity, justness, equity, fairness and ethics."--Mohammad Reza Shah

Sarbazekouchak: "Buyers" of what they regard as theirs? The global mafia, of course, wanted none of that. They had for years regarded the Iranian King as a threat.* And so began a world-wide campaign of the vilification of the Shah, a campaign led by self-described “leftists” and “liberals”. Vilification is actually an understatement, for the Shah was turned into the Devil himself. That is why, while Chomsky’s friends were massacring hundreds of thousands in Cambodia, the Shah of Iran was singled out by Amnesty International as the “world’s number one violator of human rights.” I mention Cambodia only, because in Apartheid South Africa, Red China, Uganda, Zaire, Middle East and Latin America,… the governments there were singing of brotherly love, while others were preoccupied with dropping flowers on Vietnam.). The greatest crime of the "Liberal-Left" intellectuals in the past century was their vindictive campaign of lies, fabrications, and treachery against Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi; a campaign that will go down in history as the most vivid manifestation of a "double standard" aimed at demonizing an anti-Communist leader, while prolonging a deafening silence about the atrocities of leftist dictatorships.

Today, with the exception of those relegated to the marginalized swamps of the "liberal-left" dogma, any reputable observer would concede that virtually every aspect of Iranian life and society (education, health, arts, sports, infrastructure, banking, justice system, the military, women's rights, social and religious freedoms…) was breathtakingly modernized and "civilized" under the Shah. When it came to the participation of Iranian people in the political process, while the Shah's system of government was "authoritarian", Iran was far from being a brutal "totalitarian" state, examples of which were plenty under Communist and strict Islamic regimes. In the words of historian "George Lenczowski" -the author of “Iran Under the Pahlavis”- Iran under the Shah was not only "freer" than all of its neighboring Islamic and most other Middle Eastern countries, but also all the Communist "Utopias" to which the intellectual “Mafia” was comparing its government.
Did these "facts" ever interfere with the Leftist intellectuals’ "war" against the Shah? Did any of them ever offer a similar critique of “Castro’s Socialist Paradise”? To them, and to the Left in general, the Shah's regime was a tool of American influence in the region.

The poor Shah had envisioned refining the nation's own oil in 1971 and manufacturing related products whereas in 2007 the Islamic Republic has to import 40% of its oil and has to resort to brutal tactics to suppress rebellion against fuel rationing. No government has benefited from such a surge in oil revenues in the entire history of Iranian nation as the IRI has in recent years. Even the IRI's own economists are telling the murderous mullahs that they're wasting the unprecedented oil wealth. Where does the money end up you might ask? The oil revenues buy the mullahs Arab/islamists mercenary militias across the ME and wasted on propganda networks such as PRESSTV or AL-MANAR and manufacturing fake "dissidents", fraudlent Islamic women movemnt (Reformers women movement), front organizations and web of all extractions to manipulate and control the sheeple inside and outside of Iran.


And on the social justice and freedom front, the debate for freedom and liberty has been reduced to appropriate size of stones used in stoning men, women and children or the amount of blood money prescribed when a woman is killed by a man whereas before the pestillence of Khomeini, they would automatically go to jail instead of following the stupid sharia's Diyah doctrine.
