> As if a light were switched off, the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlevi,
> portrayed for 20 years as a progressive modern ruler by Islamic standards, was
> suddenly, in 1977-1978, turned into this foaming at the mouth monster by the
> international left media. Soon after becoming President in 1977, Jimmy Carter
> launched a deliberate campaign to undermine the Shah. The Soviets and their
> left-wing apparatchiks would coordinate with Carter by smearing the Shah in a
> campaign of lies meant to topple his throne. The result would be the
> establishment of a Marxist/Islamic state in Iran headed by the tyrannical
> Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The Iranian revolution, besides enthroning one of
> the worlds most oppressive regimes, would greatly contribute to the creation
> of the Marxist/Islamic terror network challenging the free world today.
> 
>  At the time, a senior Iranian diplomat in Washington observed, President
> Carter betrayed the Shah and helped create the vacuum that will soon be filled
> by Soviet-trained agents and religious fanatics who hate America. Under the
> guise of promoting human rights, Carter made demands on the Shah while
> blackmailing him with the threat that if the demands weren¹t fulfilled, vital
> military aid and training would be withheld. This strange policy, carried out
> against a staunch, 20 year Middle East ally, was a repeat of similar policies
> applied in the past by US governments to other allies such as pre Mao China
> and pre Castro Cuba.
> 
>  Carter started by pressuring the Shah to release political prisoners
> including known terrorists and to put an end to military tribunals. The newly
> released terrorists would be tried under civil jurisdiction with the
> Marxist/Islamists using these trials as a platform for agitation and
> propaganda. This is a standard tactic of the left then and now. The free world
> operates at a distinct disadvantage to Marxist and Islamic nations in this
> regard as in those countries, trials are staged to show the political faith of
> the ruling elite. Fairtrials, an independent judiciary, and a search for
> justice is considered to be a western bourgeois prejudice.
> 
>  Carter pressured Iran to allow for free assembly which meant that groups
> would be able to meet and agitate for the overthrow of the government. It goes
> without saying that such rights didn¹t exist in any Marxist or Islamic nation.
> The planned and predictable result of these policies was an escalation of
> opposition to the Shah, which would be viewed by his enemies as a weakness. A
> well-situated internal apparatus in Iran receiving its marching orders from
> the Kremlin egged on this growing opposition.
> 
>  By the fall of 1977, university students, working in tandem with a Shiite
> clergy that had long opposed the Shahs modernizing policies, began a well
> coordinated and financed series of street demonstrations supported by a media
> campaign reminiscent of the 1947-1948 campaign against Chinas Chiang Ki Shek
> in favor of the agrarian reformer Mao tse Tung. At this point the Shah was
> unable to check the demonstrators, who were instigating violence as a means of
> inflaming the situation and providing their media stooges with atrocity
> propaganda. Rumors were circulating amongst Iranians that the CIA under the
> orders of President Carter organized these demonstrations.
> 
>  In November 1977, the Shah and his Empress, Farah Diba, visited the White
> House where they were met with hostility. They were greeted by nearly 4,000
> Marxist-led Iranian students, many wearing masks, waving clubs, and carrying
> banners festooned with the names of Iranian terrorist organizations. The
> rioters were allowed within 100 feet of the White House where they attacked
> other Iranians and Americans gathered to welcome the Shah. Only 15 were
> arrested and quickly released. Inside the White House, Carter pressured the
> Shah to implement even more radical changes. Meanwhile, the Soviets were
> mobilizing a campaign of propaganda, espionage, sabotage, and terror in Iran.
> The Shah was being squeezed on two sides.
> 
>  In April 1978, Moscow would instigate a bloody coup in Afghanistan and
> install the communist puppet Nur Mohammad Taraki. Taraki would proceed to call
> for a jihad against the Ikhwanu Shayateen which translates into brothers of
> devils, a label applied to opponents of the new red regime in Kabul and to the
> Iranian government. Subversives and Soviet-trained agents swarmed across the
> long Afghanistan/Iran border to infiltrate Shiite mosques and other Iranian
> institutions. By November 1978, there was an estimated 500,000 Soviet backed
> Afghanis in Iran where, among other activities, they set up training camps for
> terrorists.
> 
>  Khomeini, a 78-year-old Shiite cleric whose brother had been imprisoned as a
> result of activities relating to his Iranian Communist party affiliations, and
> who had spent 15 years in exile in Bath Socialist Iraq, was poised to return.
> In exile, Khomeini spoke of the creation of a revolutionary Islamic republic,
> which would be anti-Western, socialist, and with total power in the hands of
> an ayatollah. In his efforts to violently overthrow the government of Iran,
> Khomeini received the full support of the Soviets.
> 
>  Nureddin Klanuri, head of the Iranian Communist Tudeh Party, in exile in East
> Berlin, stated, The Tudeh Party approves Ayatollah Khomeinis initiative in
> creating the Islamic Revolutionary Council. The ayatollahs program coincides
> with that of the Tudeh Party.  Khomeinis closest advisor, Sadegh Ghothzadeh,
> was well known as a revolutionary with close links to communist intelligence.
> In January 1998, Pravda, the official Soviet organ, officially endorsed the
> Khomeini revolution.
> 
>  American leaders were also supporting Khomeini. After the Pravda endorsement,
> Ramsey Clark, who served as Attorney General under President Lyndon B.
> Johnson, held a press conference where he reported on a trip to Iran and a
> Paris visit with Khomeini. He urged the US government to take no action to
> help the Shah so that Iran could determine its own fate. Clark played a behind
> the scenes role influencing members of Congress to not get involved in the
> crisis. Perhaps UN Ambassador Andrew Young best expressed the thinking of the
> left at the time when he stated that, if successful, Khomeini would eventually
> be hailed as a saint.
> 
>  Khomeini was allowed to seize power in Iran and, as a result, we are now
> reaping the harvest of anti-American fanaticism and extremism. Khomeini
> unleashed the hybrid of Islam and Marxism that has spawned suicide bombers and
> hijackers. PresidentJimmy Carter, and the extremists in his administration are
> to blame and should be held accountable.
