THEY pride themselves as bearers of the cross who bring good news, light and peace to a dark world, yet their actions are the exact opposite.
Even the word of Yahweh, they corrupted and renamed Holy Bible, testifies against them.
To forgive is found in Nehemiah 9: 17, Psalm 25: 11, Isaiah 55: 7, Matthew 6: 14 and Matthew 18: 21.
They break at will the eighth commandment that says: “Thou shalt not steal,” changing it to, ‘victims must never cry foul when thieves steal from them and if they do, then they must compensate the thieves or else they will be sanctioned’.
This is the foundation of the toxic relationship between Iran and the US, and it started in 1901.
Very few people are privy to it.
This is the story of Britain, the US and Iran as told by Stuart Littlewood, January 11 2020 in ‘The Veterans Today’.
Mohammad Mosaddegh’s greatest sin was breaking the chains of slavery and servitude to colonial interest.
The US and Britain are still smarting from that episode.
When the first oil deal was put on paper, Iran got 16 percent, the second 50 percent, but no Iranian was allowed on the British company’s Board or to have access to the books to verify that it was not being robbed.
This was done away with by the Iran’s revolution.
The West’s hatred for Iran is centred around the US-UK-Israel axis. Britain and the US would like everyone to believe hostilities started in 1979 with the Islamic Revolution, yet the root cause was in 1950.
Iranians endured a whole century of exploitation and bad behaviour.
The axis wants to keep this important piece of history from becoming public knowledge.
In 1901, William Knox D’Arcy obtained from Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar a 60-year oil concession to three quarters of the country.
The Persian government would receive 16 percent of the company’s annual profit, a rotten deal as the Persian would soon realise.
D’Arcy was financially backed by Glasgow-based Burmah Oil.
By 1908, D’Arcy was almost bankrupt and was on the point of giving up when they struck it big.
The Anglo-Persian company was then up and running, and in 1911, completed a pipeline from the oil field to its new refinery at Abadan.
Just before the First World War, Winston Churchill, then first Lord of Admiralty, wished to convert the British fleet from coal.
To secure a reliable oil source, the British government took a major shareholding in the Anglo-Persian company.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the company profitted hugely but paid the Persians only 16 percent and refused to renegotiate new terms.
Angry Persians cancelled the D’Arcy agreement and the matter ended up at the International Court of Justice at The Hague.
A new agreement in 1933 provided Anglo-Persian with a fresh 60-year concession but on a smaller area
The terms were an improvement but did not amount to a square deal for the Persians.
In 1935, Persia became known as Iran and Anglo-Persia changed to Anglo-Iranian Oil.
By 1950, Abadan was the biggest oil refinery in the world and the British government, with its 51 percent holding, had affectively colonised part of Southern Iran, but insignificant profits paid to Iran soured relations and also the company treated its workers badly.
This caused the workers to go on strike with dire consequences — 200 of the
6 000-strong workforce were killed.
In 1951, while ARAMCO was sharing profits with the Saudis on a 50-50 basis, the Anglo-Iranian declared a £40 million profit after tax, yet gave Iran only
£7 million.
In March 1951, the Malis and Senate voted to nationalise the Anglo-Iranian which had controlled Iran’s oil industry since 1913 under terms unfavourable to the host country. Social reformer Dr Mosaddegh was named Prime Minister by a 79-12 majority and promptly cancelled Anglo-Iranian Oil concessions and expropriated its assets.
This is what he said: “With the oil revenues, we could meet our entire budget and combat poverty, disease and backwardness among our people.
Another important consideration is that by the elimination of the power of the British company, we would eliminate corruption and intrigue, by means of which the internal affairs of our country have been influenced.
Once this tutelage has ceased, Iran will have its economic and political independence.”
He was removed by coup at the instigation of the British M15 and American CIA, and was imprisoned for three years, before being placed under house arrest until his death.
Britain was determined to bring about regime change and orchestrated a worldwide boycott of Iranian oil, froze all Iran’s sterling assets and threatened legal action against anyone who bought oil produced in the formerly British controlled refineries.
The Iranian economy was soon in ruins.
The US was reluctant at first to join Britain’s destructive game, but Churchill, then Prime Minister, told all and sundry that Mosaddegh was becoming communist and pushing Iran into Russia’s hands, as at that time the Cold War was knocking on the world’s door.
That made American President Dwight Eisenhower come aboard and started plotting with Britain to bring Mosaddegh down.
CIA’s chief of Near East and Africa’s division, Kemit Roosevelt Jr, played a leading role in destabilising Iran. Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi then signed two decrees; one dismissing Mosaddegh and the other nominating the CIA’s choice, General Fazlollah Zahedi as Prime Minster.
These decrees were written as dictated by the CIA.
In 1953, when it was deemed safe for him, he returned to Iran to take over the post.
Mosaddegh was arrested, tried and convicted of treason by the Shah’s military court.
He remarked: “My greatest sin is that I nationalised Iran’s oil industry and discarded the system of political and economic exploitation by the world’s greatest empire.
I as well know that my fate must serve as an example in future through the
Middle East not to break the chains of servitude and slavery of the colonial interests.”
Zahedi’s new government then awarded the US and Britain the lion’s share, with 40 percent going to Anglo-Iranian Oil.
The consortium then agreed to split profit on a 50-50 basis with Iran but refused to open its books to Iranian auditors or allow Iranians to sit on the Board.
This led to the US heavily funding the Shah’s, government, army and secret police SAVAK.
Anglo-Iranian then changed its name to British-Petroleum in 1954.
Mosaddegh died in 1967.
When the CIA engineered the coup that toppled Mosaddegh and reinstated the Shah to pave way for American oil companies, it was a final insult to the Iranians.
The Iranians endured this insult for 25 years, then came the famous Islamic Revolution of 1978-79, the humiliating 444 days hostage siege of the American Embassy and the botched rescue missions.
For this humiliation, the British and the Americans will never forgive and forget their humiliation at the hands of the Islamic Revolution.
Whites (Tambous) never honour their pledges.
They reneged on the Lancaster House Agreement of Zimbabwe and when Zimbabwe claimed her land, what happened? – Sanctions!
The current Russia-Ukraine war is caused by non-adherence (by NATO) to the Minsk Agreement.
The Minsk Agreement was a pledge by whites not to encroach near the Russian border.
When they did, Russia invaded Ukraine and what happened? – Sanctions!
This is a lesson to Africa; but this lesson will never be well-learnt as many in Africa believe that past events, which are called by whites, ‘His-Their Story’ (history), are not worth researching or reading, as most live in the present and look to the future.
Many on the motherland, educated or not, think that whites are Yahweh-sent to save Africa from self-destruction. And the majority say they are Holy Bible adherents, yet most of them don’t understand it.
Ecclesiastes 1: 9 says: “What has been is what will be. And what has been done will be done again; There is nothing new under the sun.”
Another lesson to be learnt is that gold, which is our natural resource, is our Yahweh-given defence against whites and must be kept within so that no country on this planet can intimidate us.
We must unite and insist that paper money cannot buy our natural resources as paper money can be manipulated. Libya’s Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was right in saying we can keep our so beloved and sacred borders created by whites but, let’s have one currency, gold.
For saying this, he was killed by whites with the blessing of some African leaders.
Ignorance is a voluntary misfortune, fuelled by what I call self-acquired voluntary ignorance syndrome (SAVIS) and standard bred syndrome (SBS).
I rest my case.
