Thatcher and the Shah


Margaret Thatcher with the Shah of Iran; Tehran, 1978. Thatcher, then the leader of the opposition, became prime minister a year later. When she took office, the Shah was already deposed. Thatcher went on to become the longest serving premier in modern British history. She died on Monday.

This witch Thatcher started the process of total British decay and era of neo-colonial Zionist sponsored warmongering. She was corrupt to the core. Now she can rot in hell as no one is going to shed a tear for her evil.

With using the language of street tugs in reaction to someone who has just died, you cannot change the world for better!

Two types of patriotic leaders that weren't understood by certain "intellectuals". The social freedoms of the Iranian people under Pahlavi governance were taken for granted and Khomeini tricked the nation into believing that after his departure they would be preserved.But history has proven that Khomeini and his gang of bandits were power mad liars.The truth is when the Shah left what ever freedom Iran enjoyed went with him.Not only those social freedoms were gone but no democracy or political freedoms were achieved. But instead the opposite happened total tyranny by an ideological death cult that is shelf serving to the extreme.Iran under this Islamic tyranny is being used as a Shiite verses Sunni launchpad and therefor it economically and politically benefits the West,Russia,China,Turkey and Persian Gulf Arab counties to no end.
As for Margaret Thatcher she took unpopular decisions to sort out the mess that was Britain.She also went against political advice and decided to retake the Falkland Islands from the clasp of the Argentinian tinpot dictatorship.She also played a major part towards the downfall of the evil empire the Soviet Union.She was one of those rare politicians that cared about the country and not political ideology.
Political and religious ideology ruins the countries social political moral fabric and leads it into a downwards spiral like the bankrupt Soviet Union,Eastern Europe and now the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran.

Anon 8:27,if you want to know about evil look no further than the Islamic regime in Iran.As for witches,doesn't the Islamic regime believe in witchcraft and sorcery? Such are the primitive belief patterns of the regime and its supporters.

That's the funniest and most pathetic eulogy/apology I have read about these evil characters. One a puppet and the other one of the biggest and most shameless enemies of the downtrodden, labor unions, and the working class and at service of the rich. How pathetic if you believe a word of the bs you wrote here. Makes me cringe when I think people like you exist even in the blogosphere.

Hours after the death of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, the history books are being re-written and the beatification of the Iron Lady is well underway.

Following the death of former British Premier Margaret Thatcher, the song “Ding Dong! The witch is dead” from the movie The Wizard of Oz has leaped to the top of the most popular British songs.

Her death on Monday led to a hail of “Thatcher death parties” on the streets of different cities across Britain including Glasgow, London, Belfast and Manchester.

If the Shah was a "puppet" then why is it the West help install your beloved puppet evil Khomeini? If you know anything about the 1973 speech made by the Shah regarding the pricing of oil and Western commodities and renewing of contracts by 1979 then you wouldn't spill your bullspit on these pages and keep parroting the usual dribble that the Shah was a "puppet". No one in Iran believes your type of well worn nonsense propaganda anymore because time has proven what a bunch of savages and criminals Khomeini and his evil followers are.The "downtrodden" have increased greatly in numbers since the fascist Islamic theocracy came to power.And as for Margaret Thatcher she did the right thing against the overbearing unions that hijacked the country and wanted to run it like the Soviet Union.Strange the "downtrodden" under Thatcher became home owners and responsible citizens that contributed to the countries economy not some cog in the wheels of your socialist layabout paradise.It is true what the Shah said regarding the union of the Red and Black. They were the ones that destroyed the lives of millions of Iranians because of their so called "revolution" in the name of the "downtrodden". And now the "downtrodden" are even more downtrodden in the name of Allah by the force of armed IRGC and Basiji murderous thugs.Unfortunately people like you exist on the "blogosphere" to twist the facts of history to the advantage of your paymasters.Now for the love of your cringe worthy evil Khomeini go and pathetically cringe even more on his and the regimes behalf.

These last two days the airwaves have been awash with eye-dabbing tributes to former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. She has been elevated almost to sainthood by commentators, political hacks and former colleagues. Such near-hysterical adoration, it seems to me, is a measure of the wretched scarcity of leadership talent in Britain over the last 50 years.

As George Galloway says “she destroyed more than a third of Britain’s manufacturing capacity, significantly more than Hitler’s Luftwaffe ever achieved.”

Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher betrayed the Iranian nation and government during her 11 years in office from 1979 to 1990, through aiding enemies of Iran throughout her reign.

Only a handful typical socialist half witted morons and fashionable agitators who weren't even born when she left office have decided to act their usual imbecilic self.History will judge her as a great lady that put England on its feet and helped defeat the soviet union.
Go and live in North Korea you hypocrite and see how wonderfully the communist paradise will treat you.

I think mrs thatcher was very fortunate that the increasingly desperate argentinian junta invaded the falkands and that they had only 6 exocets in their arsenal when they did,had the war not happened thatcher would have faced certain defeat at the balot box,had the british lost her career would have been destroyed,she was a very lucky woman,history views her in the same light as her fellow cold war dinosaur counterpart regan and the world is well rid of the both of them,one only has to look at those two to see how much the world has changed since then

People on the streets came out carrying newspapers saying "Shah DAR raft."

People in Glasgow and London came out jubilating and shouting "Magie Magie Magie, dead dead dead."

:)))) Now you can go back to your little at-home-shrine you have made for the puppet Mohammadreza-ye Kha'en and shed some tear for your beloved Maggie. You should've asked her to give you a unit in her public housings. (read some of the criticism of her public housing project that it didn't help the working class but put them in more debt to private sectors — I don't have the time nor have I the motivation to school you.)

Genius! S/he began his comment by saying "I think." Do you even know what that means?

PS: It is my opinion too.

Ha HA HA! The people that did come out in the streets and shouted "Marg bar Shah" are the ones that bitterly regret it! Now they wished they said "marg bar man". I know this because a lot of them say if they knew it was going to be like this they never would have come out and demonstrated against the monarch.People like you were disappointed because unlike Assad the terrorist the Shah refused to sit on a thrown of blood and therefor decided to leave the country and for that idiots say "Dar raft". Mullah regime is one of the worst types of regimes in the world because they think they are righteous under Allah but in reality they are nothing but little hypocrites and murderers.
The small minority of people that are in the streets of Glasgow and London demonstrating are free to do so unlike in Islamic occupied Iran where they shot to kill you.Even God has opponents and as you know an empty barrel makes the most noise.
Seems to me you need some serious educating therefore I have prepared for you some homework :o)

You can't change history pal. The people of Iran know what type of barbaric lying regime this Islamic theocracy is.The Shah left the country to prevent bloodshed and no amount of bullspit propaganda from you or any other hired gun can change the facts.
To celebrate ones death is cowardly and disgusting and shows what type of person you are by supporting such acts.You should be ashamed of yourself.

Actually the war,the risks involved and thatchers impending defeat at the balot box before the war are all well known facts along with her mishandling of the ira hunger strikes and the gutting of british industry.You may find the truth unpalatable but it is nonetheless the truth

Anonymous said...

I have nothing to do with anon 9:24 but I agree with what he/she said,you are living in a fantasy.The shah fled because he had no other choice had he stayed he would have been imprisoned and eventually tried for his crimes against the nation and its people and it was a great pity that this never happened,your belief that the shah stood down to avoid bloodshed is bizarre the man had no problem shedding innocent blood

Anonymous said...

If anybody is shedding innocent blood it's the filthy regime that is in power today.It's a well known fact the regime back in 1988 has personally murdered in less than two months over 10000 innocent young people.The war was prolonged by that charlatan khomeini by seven more years increasing the death toll to a million young lives.
The Shahs "crimes"? His only "crime" was trying to modernize the country and save it from the likes of you and the types of criminals and murderous gangsters that have taken it over now.Iranians know that now.
If the Shah hadn't of left as Bazargan rightly said the Imperial army would have easily crushed the "revolution". The Shah didn't want to be on a thrown of blood like that evil Khamenei to preserve his position.If anything you live in a fantasy world of self denying bullspit and Islamic regime inspired propaganda.And by the way nice try pretending to be another anon.

Remember Thatcher didn't start the war the Argentinians did.And anyway I was in England at that time and Thatcher would have won the elections because the British didn't want to go backwards in time,something that the Iranians achieved in 1979.

And how many did the shah murder during his quarter century reign,how many were gunned down by his military before he fled,he was nothing more than a us backed military dictator,just another murderous military stooge dictator no different to the arab stooges.It was the iranians that bleed saddam white on the battlefield both economically and militarily this forced him to invade kuwait as his arab "brothers" were not willing to forgive his debts to them,this directly brought about his downfall,had iran not fought him and bled him white he would still be in power today very likely with nuclear weapons in his arsenal instead saddam is dead the americans plans for iraq destroyed and iraq is now irans ally,none of this would have happened if iran had agreed to end the war in 82 or 83.I don`t need to pretend to be another anon there are plenty of commentators here who agree with me,indeed I have to wonder if you are not the one doing this very thing as there seems to be at least one other anon who takes any criticism or disputing of his views as a personal attack or insult just as you do

Here you go again with your bullspit propaganda! The Shah was monarch for 38 years not quarter century. Where did the Shah's government mass murder like the filthy theocracy that you support? The filthy theocracy mass murders on a daily bases.They execute the same amount as China and call them "criminals". A bit rich coming from a criminal gangster regime.Prove to me that the Shah's government massed murdered and I will prove to you that Khamenei is a tooth fairy.
Khomeini rejected the Arab offer of $100 Billion back in 1982 because the imbecile wanted to go all the way to Qhods via Karbalah and because of that Iran gave Hundreds of thousands more lives for nothing while the war was won in 1982 and Rafsanjani got richer.So you support the mass murder of Iranian troops for no results because it suits your twisted purpose in thinking that an Arab country like Iraq could be a natural ally of Iran.All Arab countries see Iran as the natural enemy and that includes Syria as well.They compare Iranians to Jews and flies and yet you naively suck up to Iraqis thinking they are Iran's allies.You must be an Iraqi or Lebanese Shiite or a mixture of Iranian and Iraqi from mullah family background.

The Shah e khaen fled the country because he was a moron who could not take responsibility for his blood thirsty savak and capitulation and so on. He was a moron and he got half of what he deserved. If Sadat didnt pity him he would've died on an airplane trying to find a tiny island to let him live the rest of his miserable life there.

He was an absolute dictator for 25 years after the western backed coup that destroyed democracy in iran,at least know your basic history and don`t make the mistake of assuming that the fear of the arab stooges towards iran reflects the attitude of the average man in the street it doesn`t,iran is an example of what can be achieved when you throw off the yoke of usraeli "friendship".If you want to blame someone for the war blame your good friend saddam he started it.Sadly you seem to have a visceral hatred for the government of iran this clouds your judgment and leads you to support anything that is against iran and its government,you need to stop taking things so personally.I do not live in the middle east or europe or america for that matter but that doesn`t mean that I can`t admire iran for its courage in standing up for its rights against those who would try to oppress it.The current government is not perfect but it is light years ahead of the shahs dictatorship and light years ahead of every other nation in the middle east,sadly it seems to me that you would support any government so long as it isn`t the current one this leads you to romanticize the shahs tyranny even though the vast majority of iranians were increasingly opposed to him and with good reason,also the iran today is not the iran of Khomeini if you cannot see that you must be blind

People like Anon 11:15 have Super Oghdeh towards the modernization of Iran through Pahlavi.I can't blame them for being so spiteful because Reza Shah shafted the mullah families very nicely and controlled their destructive behavior towards Iran.Personally I would have sent every single dirty Akhoond to a firing squad to save Iran from the calamity that befell it.
God willing maybe that day will arrive shortly.

Anon 1:01 PM....That is the most stupidest question asked by a IRI agent.
You know damn well the answer but since you insist the answer is a secular nationalist democratic system of government that respects and promotes the rights of all religions minorities including Bahais,Jews and atheists.Equal rights for women and no interference of religion in social or political affairs.
The banning of political executions and torture and the promotion of social economic advancement.Somethings that are very much non existent under the present Islamic theocratic tyranny.

Anonymous said...

You already have a "nationalist democratic system of government that respects and promotes the rights of all religions minorities",womens rights also seem to be far better in iran than in say your ally the tyranny of saudi arabia.The vast majority of iranians seem to be quite happy with the system of government that they have and have no great desire to fundamentally change it,I realise that this is very difficult for you to accept but it is nonetheless true,it also seems very strange to me that you say you want a democracy but then you romanticize the tyranny of the shah who had with the help of the west destroyed the existing iranian democracy and replaced it with something that was little different to the arab stooge dictatorships,it seems to me that you have a deep seated grudge against the existing government and have little tolerance for any opposing views.I get the feeling that what you really want is to turn the clock back to the days of the shah and that you cannot accept that most iranians don`t

Yes the vast majority of Iranians are very happy getting a beating and being run over by 4x4 police pickup trucks.Iran is truly a "democracy" with "women's rights" were they have option to wear headscarf or be stoned.Yeah you're right the Shah was a "dictator" because he allowed Iranians to live how they wanted and allowed equal rights for women with family protection.He was a "dictator" because he allowed human rights to visit prisons.He was a nasty man because he recruited and forgave his communist assassins to work for the government institutions while "democratic" Khomeini tied them to ladders and executed them.Shah was a nasty "dictator" because he chose to leave the country and prevent bloodshed so that democratically and human rights loving Khomeini and his goons can bestow their ever lasting love upon Iranians with roses.Iran thanks to Islamic regime has become a paradise and a bed of roses to lie upon :o)
