Iranian Political Evolution; From Dictatorship to Corruption to Revolution

Mosques and to follow the clergyman” 

That clergyman was Khomeini whose credentials were impeccable. He was never after money, he was not a servant to anyone, and he was old. 

The Lies:

Khomeini was taken to Paris by his civilian students. There he had access to free media and through the Iranian mosques engineered the Iranian revolution. He told some lies that every body believed. After all, people of God do not lie.

He promised that the new Iranian government would be democratic and that the role of clergy would be only supervisory. Once the country began to burn in his flames the Shah could not take the heat and was escorted out of the country on the advice of American generals. 

The Shah crying in the airport leaving forever 

Upon arrival in Tehran he promised that according to Iranian constitution he would have a free election so people could elect the “the assembly of the founders” to change the constitution and set up the “free Iran”. However in a few months the elected “assembly of the founders” was changed to the appointed “assembly of experts” a rag tag of clergymen who set up the only Theocracy on the planet. There was a resistance by different political groups and he handily took care of it with the “hostage crisis” .While the entire world was obsessed with freeing hostages, he put all of his laws through, killed all of the militant enemies and set up the “Islamic republic of Iran”. By the time the dust settled he was the new king with a turban on his head and 150000 well paid religious zealots who turned the country to a religious dictatorship, as bad those in Europe in middle ages. 

Dictatorship:

Today the question is that if the people of Iran do not like their government, why they vote by the millions? Khomeini had an answer for everything: Iranian birth certificates look like an American passport, so when there is an election they stamp your birth certificate .If you do not participate they easily know and you would be deprived of government jobs, government subsidies and your kids will not be accepted to any of the universities. Sometimes you see demonstrations by the millions. Well if you do not participate, the snitches who know people through the local mosques will report you to ministry of information who is located in the same building which was the ”SAVAC” headquarters (Shah’s notorious secret polis). And if you are caught participating in any real uprising against the system, you will have a pleasant time in Tehran’s barbaric Evin Prison” 

Barbarism: 

Nobody knows how many people have been tortured, or killed behind these walls. In the mid eighties, thousands of people were killed in a few days.
