February 21, 2012 As the Israeli-U.S. Iranian saber rattling reaches fever pitch, it is important for everyone to remember a few basic recent historical facts.
As President Harry Truman was about to leave office, the Dulles brothers approached him with their plan to overthrow the democratically elected and highly popular government of Iran. Without hesitation, President Truman said no. After the election of World War Two hero General Dwight David Eisenhower to the presidency, but before he took office, the Dulles brothers approached Mr. Eisenhower. They told him of the plan to overthrow the government of Iran, stating that the plan had been approved by Harry Truman, based on the idea that the Iranians had our oil under their soil. General Eisenhower approved the coup attempt, based on their assurance that it had been approved by President Truman, but said that he didnt want his fingerprints on the effort. The first coup attempt failed, when the people of Iran took to the streets to defend their government. The coup leaders were arrested, then released in an attempt at reconciliation. The coup leaders then tried again, this time with the full power of the United States behind them. They succeeded, murdering the government, and installing the U.S. puppet, the so-called Shah of Iran. His murderous secret police put down the people of Iran. At that point, the Central Intelligence Agency began huge monthly payments to the religious leaders of Iran. The Ayaltoyas, the mullahs, and the rest of their religious leaders sold out their country and became U.S. agents. This arrangement continued for decades, with their oil reserves being sold to Britain and the United States, until Jimmy Carter took office in 1977, replacing the Nixon-Agnew-Ford administrations. President Carter immediately ordered the cutoff of the C.I.A. payments to the mullahs in Iran. The mullahs had been spreading their wealth around, so Carters order had widespread ramifications in Iran. Almost immediately the Shah of Iran and his bloody secret police were removed from office, and the religious leaders replaced them. A group of students, one of whom was current Iranian President Ahmadinejad, took the American Embassy by storm and held fifty American hostages for four hundred forty four days. The corporate-government press in America began a campaign, supported by the C.I.A., to destroy the Carter Administration. They succeeded, and the B-Grade movie actor, whose greatest life achievement was his role in the movie Bedtime for Bonzo, became President. Ronald Reagan, who already was showing signs of his mental illness, became President of the United States, to the humiliation and embarrassment of all patriotic Americans. As Reagans illness became obvious to all, his underlings, including Donald Rumsfeld, George H.W. Bush, and Dick Cheney, implemented their plans to rape the American taxpayers and line their own pockets. The rest is history.
