Iran in
2018

- In 1953 Washington and Britain overthrew the
democratically elected government of Mohammad
Mosaddegh and installed a dictator to rule Iran
for the benefit of Washington and the British.
In declassified documents, the CIA has admitted
its role in overthrowing the Iranian government.
The overthrow pattern is always the same.
Washington hires protesters, then introduces
violence, controls the explanation, and unseats
the government.
Ever
since the Iranian Revolution that overthrew the
Washington-installed dictator in1979, Washington
has been trying to regain control of Iran. In
2009 Washington financed the “Green Revolution,”
which was an attempt to overthrow the
Ahmadinejad government.
Today
Washington is again at work against the Iranian
people. It is difficult to believe that any
Iranian, after watching what
Washington-organized protests have done to
Honduras, Libya, Ukraine, and Syria, have
attempted to do to Iran in 2009, and is
attempting to do today to Venezuela, could
possibly in good faith go out into the streets
against their own government. Are these Iranian
protesters utterly stupid or are they hired to
commit treason against their country?
Why
does Iran permit foreign-funded operatives to
attempt to destabilize the government as Ukraine
did and as Venezuela does today? Are these
governments so brainwashed by the West that they
think that democracy means permitting foreign
agents to attempt to overthrow the government?
Are
governments so intimidated by the Western
presstitutes that they find it challenging to
defend themselves against foreign-paid
provocateurs?
Having
succeeded in causing violent protests in Iran,
Washington now intends to use an emergency UN
Security Council meeting on Iran in order to set
the stage for more intervention against Iran.
The Washington-incited violence has been turned
into a “human rights issue” against Iran. Will
Washington get away with it?
Iran’s
fate is up to Russia and China. If Washington
succeeds in destabilizing Iran, Russia and China
are next. Russia seems to understand this.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov
said yesterday: “We warn the US against attempts
to interfere in the internal affairs of the
Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Just as the Russian government comprehended
that Russia could not permit Washington’s
destabilization of Syria, Russia understands
she cannot permit the destabilization of
Iran.
The
leader of Turkey has aligned with Russia,
declaring “obviously some people from abroad are
provoking the situation.”
That is
obvious to everyone but Americans, who are
constantly lied to by “their” government and by
the presstitute lie factories such as CNN, New
York Times, Washington Post, BBC.
Trump
and Haley are the type of loudmouths who are
likely to break Washington’s power and influence
over the world. They “take names,” admit that
they bribe foreign leaders, and issue insane
threats. If this doesn’t wake up the rest of the
world, nothing will.
