Terrorists Crushed Iranian Democracy: 52nd Anniversary of Terrror Against Mossadegh

TERRORISTS CRUSHED IRANIAN DEMOCRACY: 52nd Anniversary of a Terrorist Coup against Mossadegh


FARHAT QUAEM MAQUAMI


In an age of War on Terror and so-called Terror in London, Iranians and the world must remember and never forget the terror that was unleashed on Iran 52 years ago. Terrorists came from London and New York. They not only obliterated Democracy but put thousands of Iranian Patriots in front of firing squads in the blood bath that followed. The effect of this shameful terrorism has injured the Iranian psyche for generations to come. It was re-enforced by the CIA’s after-shock and Terror of 1979 which sabotaged the Iranian struggle toward freedom from tyranny by superimposing a perverted brand of Islam on Iran to stop Democratic movement and stifle social progress and Democracy.

On August 19, 1953, 52 years ago, American CIA agents, with the blessing of corrupt British Mullahs, shamelessly arranged a Terrorist coup to overthrow the democratically elected, secular government, of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran and subverted a blossoming civic society and changed it into a dictatorial regime. It seems that every generation thereafter that carried Iranian aspirations for justice, freedom and real social change would also be hijacked by the CIA and its paid agents. What is reported is from the CIA ‘s Secret History of Covert Operation to overthrow the Democratically elected government of Iran, written by one of the master planners. This Catastrophic Terror event must be memorialized by every patriot in Iran.

It demonstrates how Britain, fearful of Mossadegh’s nationalization of oil industry, colluded with the US to topple a flourishing civic society and terrorize Iranian citizens. The documents shows the British Intelligence Service and CIA paid $5000,000 dollars to General Zahedi for the coup. The documents reveal that thousands of Iranians were on the payroll of British Intelligence and the CIA and except a pseudonym “ Rashidian” no names of prominent Mullahs who acted as British and CIA agents to instigate the riots and Terrorist bombings, firebombing, and staged riots are revealed. The same Mullah and baby Mullah agents, like Khomeini, Rafsanjani and many more agents were used to topple the Shah in 1979 under the trade name Islamic Revolution, which was neither revolutionary nor Islamic.

Thousands of Iranians, hired by the CIA were posed as Communists to harassed religious leaders and staged bombings of Clerics homes and other terrorist acts in a campaign to turn Mullahs against Mossadegh. All riots and terrorism against civilian properties was pre-emptive acts of psychological warfare to turn the civilians against the Communists and National Front of Mossadegh. At the same time Kermit Roosevelt( TP-Ajax project Director), with the backing of Mullahs was hiring gangs of to Demonstartors to pour into the streets of Tehran shutting pro Shah and anti Mossadegh slogans.

To his credit, Shah repeatedly refused to sign the CIA ’s Royal Decree to Dismiss Mossadegh for fear of bloodshed. Princess Ashraf Pahlavi, and Gen. H.Norman Schwarzkopf acted as intermediaries to force the Shah to consent to the CIA’s coup and its sinister plans for Iran. Shah is despised by the CIA for his reluctance to take part in his own coup and is referred to as a reluctant coward.

It seems Shah must be credited as a man who rather escape from Iran than submit it to the bloodshed that followed after the toppling of Mossadegh. The CIA had contempt for the Shah who did not desire to slaughter his adversaries with impunity and derided him as a vacillating coward. Since he did not want to take part in the CIA terror plot to reinstate him. Yet, CIA forced him back to the throne and in his name terrorized Iran and executed many fine patriots as Communists to purge Iran from Communism. Shah was the passive beneficiary of CIA Terrorist Attack on Iran and as such can be forgiven.

For over five decades, America's role in the military coup that ousted Iran's elected prime minister and returned the shah to power has been lost to history. One by one, participants have retired or died without revealing key details. The Central Intelligence Agency claims that most records of its first successful overthrow of a foreign government by terror have been destroyed. Since the same local CIA operatives who were involved in the overthrow of Mossadegh played a pivotal roles in toppling the Shah’s regime in 1979.

When the CIA planners decided to confront the ideology of communism with the ideology of Islam, Shah lost its usefulness. His regime was brutally discarded and replaced by the clerics who were on the British intelligence and CIA payroll since 1950s.

CIA has refused to release the history of CIA operatives who instigated Islamic Uprising, by burning people in Cinemas and various act of sabotage to terrorize the population blaming them on Shah who whose hand was tied by his CIA advisors. This time Shah committed treason against Iran and betrayed his loyal supporters by inaction. Shah must be condemned by history for delivering Iran to the CIA terrorists who took over Iran under “ Islamic Revolution” slogan and be eternally damned for betraying the trust and slavish loyalty of his supporters and letting them be slaughtered in the CIA orchestrated bloodbath that followed.

But a surfaced copy of the agency's secret history of the coup has revealed the seeds of a plot to replace the Shah’s regime with an Islamic republic in 1979 was planted in 1953. The document, which remains classified, discloses the pivotal role British intelligence officials played in initiating and planning the coup with the help of Mullahs, and it shows that Washington and London shared an interest in maintaining the West's control over Iranian oil. It is obvious that if 51 years ago Iran was infested with CIA and British agents now a generation later agents have astronomically multiplied and are dominant in every aspect of the Iranian society.

"The coup was a turning point in modern Iranian history. It consolidated the power of the Shah, an amalgamated American advisors, British intelligence and all his CIA agents in one seemingly monolithic system of malevolent dictatorship which brought modernization to Iran for the next 26 years.

However, when he start outgrowing his handlers and tried to un-peg the selling of oil in American Dollars, develop a semi-independent nationalism in foreign policy with Iranian interests in mind he become a nuisance. When his CIA handlers discovered his Cancer (three years before the information become public), the British and the CIA agents and many slipper cell Mullah collaborators agents were activated. His American puppeteers wrote a knew script and the meltdown of the system started.

Islamic Republic was not born in a vacuum. It was an elaborate plan integrated with the new American strategy to break the Soviet Union by competing Ideology of Islam. Islam was politicized and weaponized when the CIA’ developed its “Al Qaeda Concept and Data Base. The main goal of the CIA was no more bringing progress to the backward nations and giving the a taste of American democracy to avoid communism. The aim was Confronting the Soviets by Blind ideology. What would happen to Iran, Iranian psyche, Iranians freedom to select a government of their choice, their national interest and their culture did not enter into the equation.

Two years prior to the American Instigated Islamic insurgency against his government Bahaii sect, which were the most vulnerable British supported sect, of the variety of Muslim sects in Iran, were issued a simple “ migration order.” Bahii’s were instructed to disperse, that is they should migrate all over the world and become missionaries for the faith since a disaster is coming to Iran.. Shah was toppled by militants in 1979. To legitimize this aberration of Islam is not made in America , later that year, marchers went to the American Embassy, took diplomats hostage and declared that they had unmasked a "nest of spies" who had been manipulating Iran for decades. The whole drama was a smokescreen to hide the real nature of terrorists who took over Iran and mnipulate the Amerrican domestic politics. Hostage takers were instrumental in bringing Republican Party and Regan to power.
For propaganda purposes the Islamic government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini supported terrorist attacks against American interests, However in reality the Islamic regime has acted to deprive Iran of economic and national independence. Many Iranians still resent the United States' role in the coup and its support of the Shah, negligent to the fact that the so called Islamic Regime is ideological ally of the US and has blindly supported American agenda in the Middle East. Millions of Iranians dies in an American instigated War on Iraq, to make both countries more vulnerable to outside terrorist attack.

Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, came close to apologizing than any American official ever has before, she declared that "The Eisenhower administration believed its actions were justified for strategic reasons,…..But the coup was clearly a setback for Iran's political development.” It is time to release documents pertaining to the establishment of a terrorist state in Iran by the CIA and release the name of its operatives. Otherwise the indigenous Iranians continue to resent this intervention by America in their internal affairs."

British Intelligence, that had established great cordial relationship with Persian mullahs asked for their help and initiated the Terror plot in 1952. The Truman administration rejected it, but President Eisenhower approved it shortly after taking office in 1953, because of fears about oil and Communism. While the British are fooling the world by the staged terror in London they would better remember that thousands of innocent Iranians were massacred after the 1953 terrorist attack on Iran and later on 1979 when the British Mullahs like Khomeini and Rafsanjani and American agents like Ibrahim Yazdi and British Muslim Brotherhood (Faddaiian Islam) started political, cultural, social religious rein of Terror on Iran. Many fine men were sacrificed and murdered as “enemies of God” and millions died or were crippled by the American instigated war on Iran.

The coup had its roots in a British showdown with Iran and the prize was Iran‘s oil industries.
In 1951, Iran's Parliament voted to nationalize the oil industry, and legislators backing the law elected its leading advocate, Dr. Mossadegh, as prime minister. Britain responded with threats and sanctions. Dr. Mossadegh, a European-educated lawyer refused to back down. In meetings in November and December 1952, British intelligence officials initiated a plan for a joint terrorist operation to oust the elected prime minister. The Americans, who "had not intended to discuss this question at all," agreed worrying that Iran might fall under the sway of the Soviet Union.
Iranian operatives pretending to be Communists threatened Muslim leaders with "savage punishment if they opposed Mossadegh," seeking to stir anti-Communist sentiment in the religious community. In addition, the secret history says, the house of at least one prominent Muslim was bombed by C.I.A. agents posing as Communists.
The CIA was also intensifying its propaganda campaign by buying the press in Tehran. Keyhan newspaper owner was granted a personal loan of about $45,000, "in the belief that this would make his organ amenable to our purposes." But the shah remained intransigent and refused to sign the CIA decrees firing Mossadegh.


Dr. Mossadegh finally figured out that there was a plot against him. He moved to consolidate power by calling for a national referendum to dissolve Parliament. In August 4th referendum the New York Times reported that the prime minister had won 99.9 percent of the vote.Americans declared election fraud., providing “an issue on which Mossadegh could be relentlessly attacked" by the agency-backed opposition press and terrorist plotters..

But the shah still wouldn't move against Dr. Mossadegh. "On Aug. 3rd," Roosevelt had a long and inconclusive session with the shah," who "stated that he was not an adventurer, and hence, could not take the chances of becoming one.

By Aug. 10, the shah had finally agreed to see General Zahedi and a few army officers involved in the plot, but still refused to sign the decrees." The shah finally signed the decrees on Aug. 13.
The coup began on the night of Aug. 15 and was immediately compromised. most of the participants proved to be inept or lacking in decision at the critical juncture. Pro-shah soldiers sent to arrest Dr. Mossadegh at his home were instead captured. The next morning, the Tehran radio announced that a coup against the government had failed.
The C.I.A. and its agents also arranged for the decrees to be mentioned in some Tehran papers. The propaganda initiative quickly bogged down since many of the C.I.A.'s Iranian operatives were under arrest or on the run. That afternoon, agency operatives prepared a statement from General Zahedi that they hoped to distribute publicly. But they could not find a printing press that was not being watched by forces loyal to the prime minister.
in the meantime Shah escaped to Baghdad, for fear of being charged for treason, on August 16,1953.
.
On the morning of Aug. 17 the shah finally announced from Baghdad that he had signed the decrees to dismiss Mossadegh. At this critical point CIA operatives within his advisors persuaded him to recall most troops it had stationed around the city, making him believe that the danger has passed. That night the C.I.A. arranged for General Zahedi and other key Iranian agents and army officers to be smuggled into the embassy compound "in the bottom of cars and in closed jeeps" for a "council of war," while Mossadegh had put his defenses down.

They agreed to start a counterattack on Aug. 19, sending a leading cleric from Tehran to the holy city of Qum to try to orchestrate a call for Jihad against Communism. (The religious forces they manipulated and bought would years later would be used to establish the so-called Islamic Republic while calling the United States "the Great Satan.", while espousing free market economy and following US economic agenda ). Rafsanjani was one of those young recruits.

Once again, the shah disappointed the C.I.A. He left Baghdad for Rome the next day, proving once again he had no desire to terrorize his nation according to the CIA plot. Newspapers supporting Dr. Mossadegh reported that the Pahlevi dynasty had come to an end, and a statement from the Communist Party's central committee attributed the coup attempt to "Anglo-American intrigue." Demonstrators ripped down Shahs statues -- as they would again 26 years later during the Islamic Revolution.
The C.I.A. station cabled headquarters for advice on whether to "continue with TP-Ajax or withdraw." On the night of August 18 CIA made a finding that operation has failed and should be discontinued.

SURPRISE SUCCESS OF A TERRORIST COUP
But just as the Americans were ready to quit, the mood on the streets of Tehran shifted. On the morning of Aug. 19, several Tehran CIA’s mercenary papers published the Shah's long-awaited decrees, and Kermit Roosevelt bought out the Mullahs who in turn persuaded the crowd to pour into the streets. "They needed only leadership," and Iranian agents of the C.I.A. provided it. Without specific orders, a journalist who was one of the agency's most important Iranian agents led a crowd toward Parliament, inciting people to set fire to the offices of a newspaper owned by Dr. Mossadegh's foreign minister. Another Iranian C.I.A. agent led a crowd to sack the offices of pro-Tudeh papers. "The news that something quite startling was happening spread at great speed throughout the city," the history states. Iranian operatives and religious zealots were more enthusiastic than their CIA masters in terrorizing Democracy in Iran.
.
The C.I.A. tried to exploit the situation, sending urgent messages that the Rashidian brothers and two key American agents should "swing the security forces to the side of the demonstrators." But things were now moving far too quickly for the agency to manage. An Iranian Army colonel who had been involved in the plot several days earlier suddenly appeared outside Parliament with a tank, while members of the now-disbanded Imperial Guard seized trucks and drove through the streets. "By 10:15 there were pro-shah truckloads of military personnel at all the main squares". It seems the promise of $5,000.000 dollars to Zahedi and millions spent on Mullahs were paying off.
By noon the crowds began to receive direct leadership from a few officers involved in the plot and some who had switched sides. Within an hour the central telegraph office fell, and telegrams were sent to the provinces urging a pro-shah uprising. After a brief shootout, police headquarters and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs fell as well.
The Tehran radio was overwhelmed by CIA recruited crowd. Pro-shah speakers went on the air, broadcasting the coup's success and reading the royal decrees.

At the embassy, C.I.A. officers were elated, and Mr. Roosevelt got General Zahedi out of hiding. An army officer found a tank and drove him to the radio station, where he spoke to the nation. Dr. Mossadegh and other government officials were rounded up, while officers supporting General Zahedi placed "known supporters of TP-Ajax" in command of all units of the Tehran garrison. Mr. Roosevelt later explained that if he had told headquarters what was going on, "London and Washington would have thought they were crazy and told them to stop immediately." Still, the C.I.A. took full credit inside the government. The following year it overthrew the government of Guatemala, and a myth developed that the agency could topple any governments anywhere in the world.
Iran proved that third world king-making is possible and terrorism against developing countries can be successful. August 19, 1953 which should be the memorial day of terrorist infamy is celebrated at CIA headquarters around the world as a day of satisfaction , celebration and “thanksgiving“" It was a day that should never have ended," as the C.I.A.'s secret history puts it. "For it carried with it such a sense of excitement, of satisfaction and of jubilation that it is doubtful whether any other can come up to it." CIA learned in Iran that it can get away with Terrorism and murder and started its campaign of terror and Death Squad around the world with impunity.

What destroyed Mossadegh was his indecisiveness and reliance on diplomacy. Rather than arming every patriot to defend their motherland, he naively relied on "good" Americans. The in-fighting must be stopped. Unity not division, compromise rather than animosity should become the rule of the game amongst brothers. British operatives have penetrated all religious hierarchy in Iran. British agents were behind the Indian Sikh Butcher who migrated from India to Iran and were mentor and supporter of Islamist terrorists like Navab Safavi. The "ugly" Americans have more than one million uglier opportunist "Persian-Americans" of every kind and creed who would take pleasure in destroying Iran in order to save it from Mullahs. Some would go so far as paying Americans to play Allawi's role in Iran, and go "Mullah hunting" instead.

Mullahs of Iran are an extension of the CIA plot by religious terror and the first and foremost task of every nationalist in Iran should be the identification and uprooting of an overgrowing CIA operatives in Iran. In this effort Rafsanjani and his gangs of terrorists should be exposed. Yet one should remember that CIA operators in Iran are many and multifaceted and now are supported by millions of hyphenated Iranians who could be anticipated to subjugate Iran by new tricks, new slogans and new argument for freedom while driving the indigenous people into serfdom and slavery.

If the new president is truthful about his commitment to cleansing the poisonous inequality and exploitation in Iran, he should start with the symbol of corruption Rafsanjani family, its foundations and corporations. So far as Rafsanjani and his family are free, the whole Iranian election may be dismissed as a fraud upon Iranians.

The government of Iran needs a decisive turn for the benefit of Iranians in establishing a true government of the oppressed by the oppressed and stop using the rhetoric while letting Rafasanjani and his operatives become billionaire and reinvest their fortunes in Canada, Australia and the US. Wolfowitz's "Hejab Revolution" in Iran is always a possibility. As Iran is infested with the CIA, British Intelligence and Mossad’s operatives Foreigners of any kind -- even the hyphenated expatriates -- should not be permitted to return and establish a Death Squad Democracy in Iran. Indecision is the mother of all evils and whatever decision the Iranian leadership makes now would affect Iran's destiny.
