Charlie Kirk on Iran. Watch
Fun fact: Erika Kirk is part Lebanese (her mother, Lori Frantzve’s maiden name is Abbas.)
Persia!
Charlie also visited Trump in the White House to tell Trump he was against the US attacking Iran.
Most Americans have no idea that the former Shah was a ruthless dictator who made people disappear. He stole billions from the Iranian people.
Yeah, like had been pretty good there during the 50s/60s. It wasn’t so great n the 70s.
His replacement was worse.
But let’s not brush the truth of the Shah under the rug. There was a reason he was overthrown and run out of the country.
Yes, he wasn’t great, but his replacement ended being much much worse.
Just like the Romanovs of Russia, they were pretty awful, but not nearly as awful as the Bolsheviks.
It’s basically the same story in all third world country revolutions in the 20th century. They all ended up with worse leaders than the ones they overthrew, from China, to Cuba, to Russia, Iran, Lebanon, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc.
What happened in the US is the exception.
Most revolutions and radical shifts cause for WORSE conditions if successful, not things getting better.

In the instability and chaos, seldom do the cultured, principaled, educated rise to power.
Instability and chaos favor the strongarm, the warlord, a thug like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqtada_al-Sadr
Sapowers? Lying Candace Mengele Owens?
He was replaced by the CIA in one of their successful “Color Revolutions”. Jimmy Carter took great pleasure in denying him access to cancer treatment in Houston, TX. Another great decision by Carter. He never concerned himself with the Ayatollah because they were both “religious”.
Say who? Lying Candace Mengele Owens?

Never Forget: Charlie Kirk adamantly opposed the “Neocon” & regime change wars—EVEN IF DONE ON BEHALF OF ISRAEL. He unleashed a flurry of tweets & videos arguing against them last summer. It’s clear he would have opposed regime change in Venezuela, too.

I think you are missing my point: if the Mullahs fall, the US should have very little to do with sending them “mini-shah.” There is no need to go back to that.
Actually, thanks to left-leaning MSM, most Americans are aware of these allegations.
Here are the facts:
When WWII ended, Stalin grabbed a bunch of Iranian land. The Shah fought to get that land back.
Then, the cold war was raging going on. The Soviets had 40,000 operatives in Iran. They also had KGB bases in Syria, where they were funding and training Marxist terrorists.
Just to cover all their bases, they also funded and trained an organization now known as MEK, which sought a “class-less divine society” - i.e.: a theocracy with a Marxist economy. They are still around, BTW, and Pompeo likes them.
And just to cover their bases, Soviets also used Qaddafi to fund Mullahs.
So the Soviets had a 3-prong ideological attack:
- hard core atheist Marxists,
- Islamo-Marxists, and
- Garden variety Islamo-fascists.
Iran was surrounded by eastern-block countries: Iraq, Syria, Egypt.
The Shah navigated this as good as he could have.
BTW, his secret police were boy scouts compared to today’s Revolutionary Guards.
One evening I was walking across the upper parade ground. One of my Iranian classmates was walking towards me. She was in tears. When I asked her friend if everything was OK she told me the secret police had come to her home, took her father (a col in the Army) away. They dropped his body off the next morning.
That is the Shah.
No thanks.
You must be crying a lot, Muhammad.
Ok Che.
Ok Fidel.
Why would I be crying? While I don’t support Trump’s coming regime change war it won’t have much of an effect on me personally. Personally I think Israel will be the one crying because they will wind up suffering severe damage along with Iran in this upcoming war. I am afraid that tactical nukes might even be used when this thing gets out of hand and it will. What’s the point of destroying Iran if Israel gets destroyed in the process? Mark my words no good will come from this war. You’ll see.
I guess you like dictators that kill their officers.
Cool.
First of all, I don’t know you from Adam, so I have no reason to believe this to be true. Certainly it is grossly inconsistent with my understanding of SAVAK operations.
That having been said, assuming your narrative is truthful, it is highly likely your friend’s father was cooperating with one of the left-leaning movements I mentioned. Like I said, the Soviet Union had 40,000 operatives in Iran.
Just prior to the culmination of the 1979 “revolution,” these operatives broke into the homes of several US military advisors and killed them. One victim’s body was found, having bled to death, his throat slit with window glass.
These were the operatives the Shah was trying to defend his nation from.
And if you think SAVAK was brutal, then, just for fun, you should study what happened to dissidents in Syria, Iraq, and Egypt during the cold war.
At the end of the day, none of this is really relevant. Reza Pahlavi has committed to free elections after the overthrow of the Islamic regime. Even assuming he breaks his vow and becomes an absolute monarch, he is 1000% better than your boss, Ayatoullah Khamenei.
