Comparison of Kadjar Kings with Pahlavis. What is relevance in this comparison between Naseraldin Shah and Ahmad Shah of Kadjar with Reza Shah and Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi? What was similarities in social conditions to justify such comparison? How the situation of Reza Shah could be compared with Ahmad Shah? Was Mohammad Reza Pahlavi supposed to be assassinated to make a good match for Naseraldin Shah of a totally different era and different sitation?

One of the saddest realities about Iranian political community and leadership, since the time that presence of westerners was increasing in Iran during Ghajar/Kadjar dynasty, has been the tendency for corruption among the people of highest ranks while many Iranians at the lower social classes were more loyal and committed to their country. Since more than two hundred years ago, Iranian territory became an attractive and easy target for super powers which had come with little or nothing but expected a lot and, there have always been those who were willing to sell the nation out by collaborating with them for personal gains. Another issue which has been source of many problems for our nation has been failure due to ignorance and immaturity of educated Iranians and Iranian intellectual community which should have had shouldered some of the responsibilities in leading the nation towards better judgment of its national and political interests. Despite a lot of work which, had been done in a relatively short period of time during Pahlavi era to train a new generation of statesmen by sending groups of students to be educated and become familiar with modern societies, many of same educated people became tools to destroy all the hopes of our nation for better future.

From those, there were some who held high positions within the system and also some who were outside the system but did their best to destroy it with help of external foes. It is obvious that the destructive effects of first group was a lot greater than second while the second group would never be able to accomplish much without existence of the first group. So many years have passed from those chaotic days and many things have come to light. Today almost everyone knows about the extent of effect of obscure figures like General Fardoust as an internal element who worked against the system while holding a very sensitive position in it. It is important to know that he was not the only person in highest positions in previous regime who covertly worked against the system in collaboration with the foreign governments who had interest in destroying that system while pretending to be friends and trying to be helpful.

Ofira Seliktar, an Israeli scholar and political scientist in her book about Iranian revolution, “The Failing of Crystal Ball Test” quotes a statement from William Sullivan, the last ambassador of United States to Iran saying: “there were ‘those’ in State Department ‘who were so strongly opposed to the Shah because of human right abuses of his regime that they wished to see him collapse no matter what the consequences for United States and its allies.’”

Knowing a little about history of relations between United States and other nations and remembering the stories of American meddling and invasions in different parts of the world, from Vietnam to Cuba, from Korea to Chili, from Grenada to Panama and many other places, this passive statement by Mr. Sullivan about Iran with such huge strategic values as a country to the north of Strait of Hurmoz and Persian Gulf where more than two third of non-communist world energy and more than 90% of NATO’s energy needs pass through, can only be interpreted as a joke. This argument about importance of Iran in the politics of the west becomes more clear when we look at the geographic location of the country to the south of the Soviet Union where United States had setup major surveillance stations for constant monitoring of Soviet activities. All of this can tell us that United States and its allies were absolutely certain that Shah’s departure from Iran, not only would not weaken their position in Iran but also will provide them with a more devoted and less annoying allied regime which its leaders would be happy to have their hands on enormous wealth which they did not even dream of earlier.

Interestingly enough, Mr. Sullivan in his cable communication to Washington regarding coming of Khomeini to power suggests: “.. if the Shah fell and Khomeini took over, all was not lost.” . Carole Jerome, a journalist who accompanied Khomeini in the plane to Iran and the author of The Man in The Mirror continues: “His assessment was that the new government would be staunchly anti-Soviet and that Khomeini would remain a Gandhi-like figure. The main drawback was that Iran would become anti-Israeli. 'Thinking unthinkable' he called it."

Was it really “thinking unthinkable”? Was it possible that American policy makers did not know about teachings of Khomeini even though they had kept interest in him since 1963? Mr. Sulivan in his book, “Mission to Iran” states that he spent a few weeks on studying a variety of issues about Iran before leaving for Tehran. According to Mr. Sullivan, he conducted a comprehensive study on possibility of a “change” in Iran’s behavior towards Americans. He checked and contacted all American companies, which were in some sort of business with Iranian government. Mr. Sullivan asked all of them to be prepared to reduce the number of their employees and even leave Iran all together. This matter was very strange to some of the companies, which were involved in projects like manufacturing of military equipments and their maintenance in Iran but the advisory was very clear and they had no choice but to abide. As part of his studies, Mr. Sullivan had made assessment of loss of investments by American companies and designed solutions to reduce those damages. Mr. Sullivan also contacted some of the opposition elements in United States without mentioning any name. All of these and much more are documented in black and white and can only give us this impression that, despite some of later statements by Mr. Sullivan, U.S. government was not venturing in unfamiliar territories by supporting Khomeini.

There is one more point that I would like to mention here before moving on to other stories from inside the revolution. Carole Jerome who had spoken to William Sullivan quotes him in her book (The Man in The Mirror) that in a meeting with Shah: “….the Shah angrily launched into a ten-minute harangue. He listed each of the marches, demonstrations and strikes that had taken place, concluding, '...This cannot be the amateur work of spontaneous opposition. All the evidence indicate sophisticated planning.' The Shah turned to face Sullivan. 'And I have decided that it must all be result of foreign intrigue. What bothers me is that this intrigue is far beyond capabilities of KGB. It must therefore involve the British and American CIA'”. After that, Shah expressed his confusion over sudden turning of CIA against him while Sullivan provided some incomplete information about demonstrations and how they were funded and blamed it all on bazaaris. Mr. Sullivan then concluded that Shah was paranoid but overwhelming evidences are available today, which can confirm the Shah's suspicions at that time.

Carole Jerome who worked for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) was appointed to her position in Paris during mid 1970’s when she was 26 years old. She met Sadegh Ghotbzadeh a few years later for the first time and her love story with Ghotbzadeh coincided with the time when Islamic revolution was close to its final stages. Around the same time that Carole moved to Paris, a young Iranian butcher lived in a village around Najaf-abad of Isfahan called Ghahderijan. His name was Jafar Shafizadeh and he ran his father’s butcher shop for living. According to his memories, which have been organized and published by late Siavash Bashiri (1), his life turned upside down one day, when he was asked by Mehdi Hashemi, a loyal, respectful and generous customer for a favor in exchange for a considerable pay in summer of the year 1975. That favor was, to help Mehdi Hashemi with reception for a party of some friends from ranking clerics in an obscure location while keeping this matter from everyone including his own family.

The offer was too tempting for Mr. Shafizadeh to pass as he was a young uneducated villager whose dream was just to have a nice butcher shop with enough revenue to support him and his parents. The money that Jafar received from Mehdi Hashemi for two weeks work was beyond his imaginations. He did not even make that money in the whole year. During the two weeks, he saw all the guests, which included eleven mullahs and four non-mullah people. He did not know anyone of them at that time but later he found out who they were as they all took important positions in the Islamic revolution which had entered a new stage in that summer day of the year 1975. The most important figure in that crowd was none other than ayatollah Beheshti. Others included: Mohammad Montazeri, Javad Bahonar, Sadegh Khalkhali, Fazlollah Mahallati, ayatoolah Taheri, ayatollah Khademi, ayatollah Saneii, Sadooghi Yazdi, Dastgheyb Shirazi, Meshkini and four non-mullah: Dr. Salavati, Dr. Minachi, Gholamabbas Tavassoli, and Mohammad Hashemi Rafsanjani. Ali Akbar Parvaresh, a close associate of Mehdi Hashemi, was also present. This meeting took place a year after late Shah was diagnosed with mild Lymphoma and a year before massacre of ayatollah Shamsabadi and his family in the same village.

From that point on Jafar Shafizadeh, a simple young and talented villager with very limited education, entered a circle, which took him through events that he could never imagine before. In this new phase in his life, Jafar met many people who would hold highest positions in revolutionary government later, and visited many places that he never thought of previously. After the meeting ended, Mehdi Hashemi paid Jafar handsomely, and told him to get ready to go and get his passport next morning, without waiting for his agreement. Next day, Hashemi told him that he will be sent to an important mission and all his financial concerns will be taken care of and there should not be any problem. Jafar who, according to himself, would even kill anyone if Mehdi Hashemi asked him, became special servant for Mr. Hashemi after that and drove him around town while Mr. Hashemi, a devoted Muslim who even performed sermon in some religious sessions, took care of his own business and continued to pay Jafar generously.

Sometime after Jafar’s passport was ready, him and Gholamabbas Tavassoli departed for Paris and after a few days in Paris, Jafar was given a closed envelope and directed to airport to go to Syria where he was received by some Syrian military personnel and taken to a camp. Along with a few dozens of other people from different Islamic nations, Jafar received special training for guerilla combat activities. Many of the people in that group were Iranians and all of them had higher education than Jafar. Some of them were university students or have completed their university. It was one of those days in training camp when Jafar was given the news by one of Syrian officers about arrest of Mehdi Hashemi and some of Shafizadeh family members for killings of ayatollah Shamsabadi and his family.

After completing his trainings, which included taking part in execution of a number of Syrian officers who were accused of activities against Asad’s government, Story of Mr. Shafizadeh continues in new direction with his return to Paris in the year 1977. In Paris, he meets Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, Abolhassan Banisadr and Hassan Habibi who had come to airport with Gholambabbas Tavassoli to welcome him. This is when he becomes involved with Ghotbzadeh who, develops very close relationship with Jafar Shafizadeh and becomes his new mentor outside Iran. A new phase in the life of Jafar starts after that in which, he moves to Libya along with Mr. Ghotbzadeh to learn some new skills but before I get to that, let’s take a look at Sadegh Ghotbzadeh to see how he got there and what was his relation with Islamic revolution.

In order to understand how Sadegh Ghotbzadeh became a major role player in preparation for Islamic revolution and what was the nature of his relations with Shafizadeh, Khomeini and others, we need to take a look at Ghotbzadeh’s life and his family background. There are not many resources available to provide detailed information about family and life of Mr. Ghotbzadeh because he was not well known in Iranian politics and not many people have spoken about him. The best available source about this unusual figure, which I could get my hands on, is a book written by his last girl friend, Carole Jerome, a Canadian journalist who used to work for CBC. Carole Jerome has done some research on Ghotbzadeh’s life after he was executed by Khomeini and published that as part of a book that she wrote about Islamic revolution in 1987, named “The Man In The Mirror”. When I received this book from a friend the next year and read it, my first impression was that the author probably had exaggerated about the importance of Ghotbzadeh’s role in the revolution under influence of her feelings for him but when further information came out from other resources later on, proved this to be wrong.

Sadegh Ghotbzadeh was born to a bazaari family whose father Hussein Ghotbzadeh had friendship with Dr. Mohammad Mosadegh through common business interests in farming sector. According to Sadegh himself, he spent about two weeks with Dr. Mosadegh after he was released from prison to help him with some issues related to the trees in his Ahmadabad properties. Sadegh was about 10 years old at that time. Ghotbzadeh’s family, like most others of the same class in Iran, were religious but according to him, they were not too fanatic about their religious belief. As a result of his familiarity with late Dr. Mosadegh he developed a lot of sympathy towards Dr. Mosadegh and felt angry towards Shah. “Sadegh explained that he had grown up hating the Shah, yet his was not red-faced anger.” Carole Jerome says in her book.

Sadegh runs into trouble with Iranian police for anti-regime activities when in his early 20’s and is released after spending a night in detention. After that, his father decides to send him out for his studies. Ghotbzadeh moves to United States and after a couple of years, he is ordered by immigration office to leave. According to his girl friend Carole, the reason was his anti-Shah activities and his low average in his studies. Ghotbzadeh had entered in “Confederation of Iranian Students” (CIS in short) right after he entered United States. This was a couple of years earlier that the time that an Iranian student had claimed that CIA had tried to recruit for CIS. This matter became a big issue and caused some unpleasant reactions by Iranian government and Shah, which was settled with Mr. Alam and Mr. Ardeshir Zahedi’s intervention without getting to the Iranian media. American embassy blamed it all on “Communists” who were trying to sabotage in relations between the two nations by accusing that student being in contact with East Germany’s government. From the strong reaction by late Shah himself, one may think that there had been enough justification for Iranian government to believe in credibility of the student’s claim. Mr. Zahedi had an interesting conversation with U.S. ambassador over this issue, which is partly reflected in embassy’s letter to State Department.

Ghotbzadeh left U.S. for France and shortly after, he came back with a Syrian passport with a name, which was slightly different. Not much longer his real identity was discovered by U.S. authorities and he was ordered to leave again. He contacted Robert Kennedy whom he had met before but he could not help Ghotbzadeh that time. After some struggles, he received an admission to enter a Canadian university in British Columbia to finish his studies in history and receive a BA degree. Ghotbzadeh then moved to France again and with the help of Banisadr, Nobari, Hassan Habibi and Ebrahim Yazdi (who worked with them from U.S.), created “Muslim Students Organization” in early 1970’s because they believed that CIS had been infiltrated by communists. This was right after the tension between U.S. government and Iran over the involvement of CIA in CIS.

Other than Iranian friends, Sadegh Ghotbzadeh a large number of powerful and influential friends among middle eastern nations and in Europe. He had a team of French lawyers as friends who helped him through out his revolutionary activities and he also had strong friendship with known figures like Hafez Al-Asad of Syria, Qadhafi of Libya, and Yaser Arafat of PLO. He was so close to PLO that when PLO representative, Mahmoud Hamshahri was killed in Paris in 1972, Ghotbzadeh took care of PLO office until a new rep was dispatched by Arafat. Ghotbzadeh’s address for his passport was in Demascas (Syria), Avenue Jole Jamal while he was in constant communication and meetings with PLO leader Arafat in Lebanon and Qadhafi in Libya. Carole Jerome says in her book: “The Newsweek article by Arnaud de Borchgrave said that French Intelligence sources reported that Ghotbzadeh had "direct connection with the heads of the Communist party in France and Italy, and that he worked closely with Libyan Secret Service.". And of course Ghotbzadeh always denied that.

Carole Jerome also mentions that French DST (one of French security services) had reported Ghotbzadeh as an agent of Qadhafi as he had been followed to Tripoli by another French Secret Service (SDECE) and met Qadhafi and Libyan agents in there. MOSSAD had also confirmed this information and reported that Ghotbzadeh had gone to Geneva after he left Tripoli and opened an account into which five million dollar was deposited.

In another part of the same book we read: “During the 1970’s Sadegh traveled widely on behalf of the revolutionary movement from Kuala Lampur to United States, always under watchful eyes of SAVAK, the DST, the CIA and the FBI. Oddly, he was now able to visit the United States on tourist visas, but on occasion he went with false identification from his collection of passports. When his luggage mysteriously vanished for long periods at American airports, he was unconcerned, knowing full well who was inspecting it.”

When Ghotbzadeh had entered US with Syrian passport in 1967, Immigration service rejected his application for student status and State Department cancelled his visa, which was issued in Paris. When Ghotbzadeh went to State Dept with his lawyer, Geoff Keating on his side, one of the officials just showed them a five-inch thick file while screaming at them that how they expected to deal with that file. Carole Jerome says when she managed to take that file under Freedom of Information Act 4 years after Ghotbzadeh's death, all the information except the name and description of Ghotbzadeh was still blacked out and nothing could be found. Carole Jerome says when Keating had asked Ghotbzadeh what was in the file he had replied: "The usual".


Ghotbzadeh was so close to Qadhafi that he could see him anytime he wished. Cheron, Ghtobzadeh’s lawyer told Carole Jerome that after Musa Sadr went missing, Ghotbzadeh went to see Qadhafi to ask about that. He did not disclose anything to his friend and lawyer, Cheron, but told him that he believed that Qadhafi had killed Sadr.

Ghotbzadeh had met Musa Sadr in Paris for the first time through Sadegh Tabatabai, Sadr’s nephew and later had meetings with him in Beirut where he also met Mustafa Chamran. They discussed the issues related to PLO and Lebanon in their meetings where Arafat also attended sometimes. Mss Jerome mentions that Qadhafi who considered himself champion of pan-Arabism and muslims unity provided financial support to Mousa Sadr and other groups who worked in that direction but states that Ghotbzadeh did not trust Qadhafi and did not agree with his views. Musa Sadr was also in contact with Iranian government and SAVAK and when Qadhafi discovered this matter, killed Sadr without ever admitting it. The mystery around Sadr’s disappearance after he apparently left Libya for Italy was never resolved.

Ghotbzadeh also met Dr. Shariati in 1970 in a group meeting with Banisadr, Nobari, and Habibi. Shariati advised the group to send Ghotbzadeh to meet Khomeini in Najaf because he believed that khomeini was different than other mullahs. Ghotbzadeh met Khomeini and his son Mustafa in Najaf and did not like Mustafa who was trying to control his father’s activities. Ghotbzadeh suspected Mustafa of having negative influence on Khomeini but Khomeini told him not to worry about him. According to Carole Jerome, Mustafa favored armed rebellion and this troubled Ghotbzadeh. Mustafa told Ghotbzadeh: “My father will kill more than the Shah could imagine to realize his dreams.”. Ghotbzadeh learned about Khomeini’s “Islamic Republic” directly from him in Najaf.


When Shah vetoed the idea of Khomeini being expelled from France French government informed Ghotbzadeh that he had to leave. Ghotbzadeh’s lawyer, Vallette contacted Claude Chayet of French Quai who met Ghotbzadeh and then contacted ministry of interior and withdrew that order because he believed that Khomeini will take over the government in Iran and did not want to have bad relations with future officials of Iranian government.

In regards to delay in Khomeini's departure from Paris after Bakhtiar declared that he would not allow Khomeini's plane to enter Iran, Carole Jerome writes:
"Sadegh contacted a friend who, in turn, sounded out his old acquaintance, The American ambassador to UNESCO. In this way, he avoided contacting the American administration directly. Sadegh was then put in touch with Irving Brown, officially the representative of the AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations), but less officially the representative of Central Intelligence Agency, according to a friend."

“To show how Ghtobzadeh was close to Khomeini, speaking of Ghotbzadeh lawyer friends (Bertrand Vallette and Francois Cheron) Carole Jerome writes: "One day they discovered a slight squirt in the man from Qom. Sadegh announced that he had to pick up some cologne for Khomeini. 'He likes Christian Dior stuff, Eau Sauvage,' Sadegh told Cheron who hooted in laughter.
'Khomeini? Christian Dior?' Cheron managed to sputter.
Sadegh was defensive. 'Well, why not? There's no law against smelling nice. You know Khomeini's wife, Batool?'
'Not personally' Cheron answered.
'She spends most of her time in Paris shopping for Dior dresses,' Sadegh revealed.
'I didn't think the budget ran to things like that. She must be very elegant under her chador. It seems a waste.'
'She is' Sadegh replied. Then for Cheron's edification, he launched into defense of chador". Carole Jerome writes.

This behavior of Islamic revolutionary elements and their families in Paris is inline with the behavior that Mr. Shafizadeh has given detailed information about that in his book. Same kind of behavior is reported by Mr. Hussein Broujerdi after revolutionaries enter Iran and this matter becomes the main reason for defecting of these two and many other individuals who were too close to center of revolution and witnessed all those disgusting and nauseating behaviors from leaders of a Islamic revolution who had come to rescue them from moral corruption.

The same French Lawyers worked in association with Christian Bourget to help Ghotbzadeh in arresting and returning Shah to Iran through negotiation with Panamanian government in 1980.

Following is the first letter by American embassy regarding the problem that was caused by claims of an Iranian student about CIA involvement in recruiting students for CIS. These communication with State Department was carried on in couple of other letters which include the information about contacts of American ambassador with Iranian authorities about this issue which was brought up in my previous post:

COLONIASLISTS AND THEIR BUTCHER AGENTS:

CORRUPTION TO THE MAX!

[ IS THEIR MISSION. IS IT NOT? ]


One Billion one Hundred Fifteen Million USA Dollars from Iranian people purse ($1,115,000,000)!!!!

transferring ... to Singapore, Canada and even US banks.


___________________________________________________
So, ran's wealth is going into Britain & US... what else is new?

That was the purpose of the so called "Islamic Revolution", and regime change in Iran, and one of the reasons US/ Britain helped these Islamist Theives-thugs-agents into power. nothing surprising about bunch of thugs doing their job for their masters. that's why dictators are for!

Making Fascist dictators, Comunist dictators, Terrorist Dictators, and all kinds of little "petty dictators" ... to supress the nations while the wealth is transferred to the west, has been a mandate of British foreign policy ever since the end of formal colonialism and beginning of
this era of informal western colonialism ->meaning: let the dictators do the dirty work for us! and take the blame for it too. ________________________________________________________
What's surprising is that humanity at large is putting up with such policies. the son of pirots will act according to his nature and genes! but the fact that all nations in diff. continents have shut up about it and putting up with disasterous global policies is the surprising factor in all this.

No Iranian is really surprised to hear these Islamists could be British agents and the real dictators are the ones hiding behind the petty little Islamist dictator!

No Indian is surprised to hear their country's still run by the british but informally and via the many corrupt politicians.

No African is new to this atrocities for taking over the resources. and they know the butcher dictators are just a front.

South Americans are not new to the idea of Agent Dictators/ Theives either.

Russians and former Russians had a taste of "revolutionary thugs" crashing the nation under the boots and keeping them from ever improving in the name of "Cold War".

Chinese could tell you a similar story of how they've been kept from advancement and rubbed off of their culture and identity.
and so could the North Koreans, and many more nations around the Globe! Yes dear...
it's Called : COLONIALISM. HELLO! ! !
___________________________________________________________
Imagine the day that these nations refuse to shut up about the damages of such Global Policies of "Divide and Conqure" / Dictate the Rulers and Conqure/ Create Dictators and Ideologies and Conqure!

These Conquests have been way more costly to Human Race than the worth of resources and material wealth of all these nations.

I wish someone took the time to count for the REAL COST of such REAL POLITICAL GAMES on humanty at large... which is still being paid by our lives and livelihoods, by the losS of many great civilizations & culturs & values, loss of humanity's hopes & dreams for a better future, loss of opportunities for advancement of many nations, and then add the cost of Global poverty, hunger, devestations, wars...


THEN SEE IF YOU CAN TRUELY SAY OR THINK FOR A SECOND THAT
YOU LIVE IN A CIVILIZED WORLD ! Far from it indeed.

INFORMAL COLONIALISM IS ANTI-CIVILIZATION; ANTI-HUMANITY.
IT'S THE ROOT OF MOST CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
AND AT THE END...
IT'S EITHER "IT" OR THE HUMANITY!
__________________________________________________

AND THAT END IS NEAR!
at least according to one of such "little dictator"/ colonialists' agents,
Ahmadi-Nezhad :
"Imam Zaman" is coming soon!
which uncoded by "real politics" language of his masters means: "End of Time" is near. (Zaman= Time)
which in turn means:
My Colonialist Masters are winning the battle against Humanity and soon the FINAL BATTLE BEGINS!____________________________________________________________
so you see my dear, it's not just about corruption! wish it was just that.

these petty dictators and their corruptions, executions, and damaging policies are only there to pave the way for their masters and their final take over! One Country at a time!

and don't you think for a moment that such animals will have mercy on their own people, oh no! All must be Enslaved, and nothing less will satisfy their thirst for power!

THE COLONIALIST MASTERS & THEIR DICTATOR-THUGS:
DEMONS OF OUR TIME

And
IT'S EITHER "IT" OR THE HUMANITY!

Time to be Serious about the future consequences of such Criminal Global policies...

Before I continue with stories of Mr. Ghotbzadeh and his protégé, Mr. Shafizadeh and their roles and effects on Islamic Revolution, I like to mention a couple of points about two different things which may have some importance in understanding of what elements were at work behind the turmoil to create impression of a true revolution in which many excited Iranians participated like zombies and without thinking.

Eileen Welsome, is a Pulitzer prize-winning reporter and author of “The Plutonium Files: America’s Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War.” For which she won the Pulitzer prize. I became interested in reading this book after reading about involvement of CIA in medical experiments in which biological warfare was being developed during early cold war era. It is obvious that left wing whistle blowers might have tried to take advantage of this information in order to promote their own cause but this will not have any bearing on the fact that this ugly and immoral act was committed by US government in the name of national interest and security.

“The Plutonium Files” is a dry read which is full of unbelievable detailed information on the facts about human medical experiments by US government, backed up by extensive research and documents. Ms. Welsome’s worries and concerns in writing this book are very much about the well being and welfare of the subjects and victims of these experiments rather than the intentions and motives behind them and if they were followed or used in any case but her works has been helpful enough to indicate the extent that some powerful governments are willing to go under cover of national security.

Some of the mysterious events during last 30 years which have happened to some important people in the world of politics and espionage can tell us that results of such experiments are definitely in use not only by Americans but also others like British and Russians on the enemies. Mysterious death of two Russian spies in last few years (one in Britain and one in Russia), mysterious poisoning of the current president of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko, sudden and mysterious death of Yaser Arafat, mysterious death of Mostafa Khomeini after the issue of getting Khomeini more involved in revolutionary activities through Ghotbzadeh was rejected by him and many other events before and after these can be viewed as evidence that those experiments had a purpose for which they are still being used.


A couple of months ago in VOA, Mr. Baharlou had an interview with Dr. Safarian who treated late Shah for leukemia. Dr. Safarian who lives in Paris in France finally spoke to Mr. Baharlou after for some mysterious reason, he was denied access to VOA studio in Paris about a month earlier and was left behind closed doors for one hour until the program was finished! One of the interesting questions which was asked by Mr. Baharlou from Dr. Safarian was about possibility that Shah was injected with illness by Americans (he brought that up as a rumor) which was brushed aside by Dr. Safarian. Knowing how doctors react to such questions, the reaction and response by Dr. Safarian should not come as a surprise especially in this case which he became involved a long time after the fact and in the year 1975. Quick development of deep interest by CIA that was headed by G.H.W. Bush at that time which inquired about the mental state of Shah after CIA agents reported the illness in the same year, indicate the possibility that the issue has been very much anticipated and expected. During those years, Richard Helms was Ambassador of United States in Iran.

Helms, up to this day, has been considered one of the most notorious heads of CIA in the history of that organization. One interesting fact about illness of late Shah is that the type of leukemia which he had, is the only type that is caused by a virus called human T-cell which is related to AIDS virus and some people believe it has been developed through genetic manipulation of AIDS virus with the help of plutonium and in the labs of Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) of United States. Knowing that NATO was one of the most affected parties in the oil related disputes with OPEC and remembering that two high ranking American army officers, General Huyser and Admiral Sullivan (both members of DIA) had active presence during whole period of revolution in Iran and also had rented an office in Neuf Le Chateau around Khomeini’s residence, some rumors may not be possible to dismiss so easily!
One interesting event which worth mentioning here is the absence of Mr. Baharlou from VOA shortly after this interview and after he ran into some problems apparently for being late at his office for a couple of minutes! In the next piece, I will bring some of the views about Islamic Revolution expressed by some Islamic group but before that, I would like to draw your attention to this interesting interview in which Ms, Wolsome discusses her book “The Plutonium Files” in a TV program in the year 2004 (the actual interview starts in 25th minute so if you don't want to listen to some old news then forward it and start from there):

Unfortunately, I have not been able to get back to this for a long time to finish it in a proper manner (as much as possible) because many petty matters have been occupying my mind and my research work was put on back burner for a while. I will try to summerize the rest of story without going into many details for several reasons and among them, violation of my rights by some well known publishings after they stole my materials and result of my research without my acknowledgment. This matter happened within first two weeks after I entered my older materials (which have already been published here and in some other forum) in my blog which was visited by other readers. The problem is that the matter was used for scoring political advantages in Iranian community through false representation of the information and attaching certain attributes to one party which is nothing but a big lie. After that, I stopped updating my blog till I can find out how I could protect my work from thieves with shiny brands and titles!


.................................................. ....................

In part of my research, I spoke with a son of one of the former generals in previous regime whose name was on the list of the executions that had been provided to Islamic regime in the beginning of their government (presumably by American advisors) who provided me with some information that I was looking for. This information would shed some light on the stories of homafars in end days of previous system in our country.

I also had some contact from a reader who provided me with some information about one of notorious and mysterious figures in the beginning of Islamic revolution, Mashallah ghassab (the butcher) which helped me to have a better understanding about the relation of this character with the revolution and American embassy.

From the materials that I have found, American elements have been actively involved in creation of chaos during the days that late Dr. Bakhtiyar tried hard to bring everything under control. At least one high ranking American general (I am not talking about Huyser) along with a few lower ranking American officers have been heavily involved in looting of Iran-bastan museum which its artefacts were later delivered to Libya where president Carter's brother received most of them to liquidate them in United States.

During the same times that Khomeini was in Paris, a girl who was acting as mistress of Sadeq Ghotbzadeh (one of many) was in fact no one other than assistant secretary of culture and education in Carter's administration with special mission. This is the same position that has been given to Ms. Goli Ameri in Bush administration (lobbyed by Ansarys probably) last year. The role of that girl with first name of Patricia during last two months of previous regime has been tremendous. She also participated in looting operation and some other black operations inside Iran in those days and her status was even above the general!

In this whole operation American either bought or blackmailed different people from within the system to get what they had in mind from beginning and killed those who did not budge (one of Iranian loyal generals among them)! Mr. Jalal Tehrani (head of royal council after Shah left the country) was one of many who got blackmailed through a sexual scandal in which he had been photographed in indecent positions! This method was also used later by mullahs (and I believe still is) to blackmail and destroy many of their enemies!

The issue of homafars is one of the intriguing stories and starts from New York in 1970 when two homafars go missing and US government declares thatthey have been drowned in the harbour while their bodies were never recovered! In those days, they claimed that the bodies were washed out to the ocean! It is interesting to know that those two homafars later showed up in Iran as Islamic revolutionaries to conduct many different operations for the interest of protecting Islamic regime! What did they do during all this time and where were they? This is all interesting story which I hope to get into writing in coming days!

Dear Toofan:
What is a "homafar"? I have never heard of this term before.
I heard anybody they wanted to get rid of, they would photoshop pictures of that person with some undesirable person or company, that way iri could easily kill them. My understanding is, that even worked from within their own political groups...I heard Gotbzadeh was another one with a "photoshop" picture. At his end, he said "even Shah would have never treated him that way"! I say that was Karma....or as we say in Persian "Az maast ke bar maast"

Dear Blank,

"homafar" is the term which was created in 1960's for a portion of Iranian Air force technical personnel who wore uniform while not being within the normal ranks of military. A new ranking system was created for them to distinguish them from other groups of officers while wearing the same uniform in appearance. We had similar kind of technical officers and ranking in Iranian Navy too but I don't recall what they were exactly called other than "afsar-yaar" or officer-assistant. "homaafar" was a technical officer in air force who looked after maintenance of airforce jets. They usually went under 2 or 3 years of technical training in US airforce academies (mostly in NY area) because Iranian airforce was equipped with American planes and machincary.

The issue of blackmailing was not all done through photoshop kind of operation and many of them were actually the events which had happened through calculated operations and both CIA and KGB were masters in that field!

Great article by Mr. Imani:


Amil Imani

The Islamic Republic Is Not Iran

July 29, 2010

“We just don't get it. The Left in America is screaming to high heaven that the mess we are in, in Iraq and the war on terrorism has been caused by the right-wing and that George W. Bush, the so-called "dim-witted cowboy," has created the entire mess. The truth is the entire nightmare can be traced back to the liberal democratic policies of the leftist Jimmy Carter, who created a firestorm that destabilized our greatest ally in the Muslim world, the shah of Iran, in favor of a religious fanatic, the ayatollah Khomeini.” -- Michael Evans, Jerusalem Times, Jan 20, 2007
