Embodiment of Lies “The Man in the Mirror: A True Story of Love, Revolution and Treachery in Iran” by Carole Jerome

Embodiment of Lies “The Man in the Mirror: A True Story of Love, Revolution and Treachery in Iran” by Carole Jerome.

Chapter Two:

The author mentions the Cinema Rex of Abadon incident catching fire on page 18. As per the author, law enforcement agents locked the doors, which resulted in the death of the Cinema’s patrons. However, the author failed to provide information regarding the reasons behind the fire that led to the destruction of Cinema Rex of Abadon.

Fact: The people living in the Province of Khuzestan were leading peaceful lives and were not interested in getting involved in the revolution that was taking place in other parts of Iran. However, as per Roy Mottahedeh, an American historian who wrote The Mantle of the Prophet, when the Iranian government started displaying a willingness to put citizens’ lives on the line to save itself, thousands of people who had remained neutral until then and thought that the conflict was only between the Shah and supporters of religiously conservative mullahs, began to feel that the movement was their own business. 

In 1978, four individuals who were motivated by Islamic extremism and identified as militants poured airplane fuel on a building before setting it on fire. This attack contributed to the outbreak of mass violence and was partly responsible for triggering the Iranian Revolution of 1979. The revolution led to the overthrow of the ruling dynasty under the Iranian monarch.

Propaganda started to circulate that the Shah had burnt down the Cinema because the Cinema was screening a movie that went against the establishment. However, the film Gavaznha (“The Deer”) was a 1974 drama directed by Masoud Kimiai. It told the story of a thief on the run from the cops who sought the help of a once-charismatic high school friend, now a sad drug addict.

Fact: The culprit behind Cinema Rex for burning people alive was Ali Khamenei and others who wanted to cause unrest in Iran.

On page 19, the author downplays the CIA and MI6’s role in bringing down the Pahlavi Dynasty. The author suggests that during a conversation between the Shah of Iran and the US Ambassador Sullivan, the Shah revealed that the CIA was aiding instigators. However, Sullivan denied any involvement of the US. The Shah was convinced that the Soviet Union was also involved because it was interested in conquering Iran.

Fact: The Shah of Iran, in his book “Answer to History,” wrote about The Guadeloupe Conference that occurred from January 4th to January 7th, 1979, in Guadeloupe. The meeting involved leaders from four Western powers: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and West Germany. The main agenda of the meeting was to discuss various world issues, including the Middle East and the Iranian political crisis. The conference was held a month before the Iranian Revolution succeeded in overthrowing the monarchy. The President of France, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, hosted the meeting in the French territory of Guadeloupe. US President Jimmy Carter, Chancellor of West Germany Helmut Schmidt, and British Prime Minister James Callaghan were also in attendance.

During the conference, the leaders discussed several issues, such as Iran’s political crisis, the situation in Cambodia, violence in South Africa, the increasing influence of the Soviet Union in the Persian Gulf, the coup in Afghanistan, and the situation in Turkey. One of the major issues discussed was Iran’s political crisis, which led to an uprising against the Pahlavi dynasty. The assembled leaders concluded there was no way to save Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s position as the Shah of Iran. They also discussed that if he remained the leader, this could aggravate the civil war and result in Soviet intervention.

Fact: Dorian McRae, a CIA agent, was the right-hand person of Khomeini at all times. She also threatened Iran that if the King remained in Iran, the revolutionary people would poison water. Last, McRae was an agent who boarded Air France and came to Iran secretly to continue advising Khomeini on exercising power in Iran.

On September 7th, people peacefully came out of their homes carrying pictures of Khomeini. On Friday, a clash occurred between security forces at Zhaleh Square. The incident killed 500 people, as per the author’s claim on page 20. 

Fact: People never came out of their homes in peace. They attacked police officers in the streets, performed street justice, and killed them. They also assaulted the homes of military officers, kidnapped military officers, and killed their wives in front of the officers. 

Fact: The Zhaleh incident caused death because Yaser Araft sent its mercenaries to Iran to attack the Imperial Iranian Police Force and Imperial Iranian Armed Forces. Yarafat’s mercenaries were walking among people and opened fire at people, and soldiers were controlling the riot. 

The author intentionally omits facts and presents selective ideas to readers to pursue them in her version of the event, not what happened in Iran.

As an Iranian, I extend my Sincere Apologies to the People of Israel

In 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran seized power in Iran, and its domestic and foreign policies caused a great deal of human suffering.

On Saturday, April 13th, 2024, the Islamic Republic of Iran launched missiles at Israel, but the Israel Defense Forces were able to intercept and destroy them in the air.

As an Iranian, I would like to apologize to the people of Israel for the actions of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The oppressive regime does not represent the will of the Iranian people and their consent to govern. It is the action of a handful of individuals who have the power to act carelessly.

I want to make it clear that the Iranian people have no ill intentions towards the people of Israel. It is the Islamic Republic of Iran that seeks to start a war, like the Iran and Iraq War, to prolong its hold on power in Iran.

Oxymoron Documentary Short of Knowledge

I watched the first part of “The Long War-Iran-Israel-USA (1/2) | ARTE.tv Documentary.” The documentary aims to prove that Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi I caused Israel to be in a state of conflict with other nations in the Middle East. However, as the narrator told the story, it proved that Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi I kept the Middle East in peace.

Mohsen Sazegara @sazegara accused the Pahlavi Dynasty of not having a meritocratic society, as he claimed the army filled all jobs.

Biography of Mohsen Sazegara:

In the late 1970s, Sazegara studied at the Sharif University of Technology in Iran and the Illinois Institute of Technology. During this time, he was a prominent member of the student movement against the Shah. When the 1979 revolution occurred, he returned to Iran. He played a crucial role in establishing the Revolutionary Guard Corps and serving as the managing director of the National Radio of Iran from 1979 to 1981.

Throughout the 1980s, Sazegara held various high-ranking positions in the Iranian government, including political deputy in the prime minister’s office, deputy minister of heavy industries, chairman of the Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran, and vice minister of planning and budget.

However, Sazegara eventually grew disillusioned with the Islamic Republic government. After the Iran-Iraq War ended in 1988 and Ayatollah Khomeini died in 1989, he declined further government appointments, stating that he wished to focus on studying history.

During the reign of the Pahlavi Dynasty, an individual received financial support from the government to study at the Illinois Institute of Technology in the US. However, while living in the US, he used the same financial support to revolt against the Pahlavi Dynasty. Notably, the Pahlavi Dynasty did not revoke his scholarship even after learning about his activities. 

Question:

  1. Why did Sazegara decide to pursue higher education in the US, given that Iran was not a meritocracy?
  2. Sazegara says that some individuals took leadership positions and lived in south Lebanon. Please enlighten us on what someone like Ebrahim Yazdi and Mostafa Chamran is doing in southern Lebanon. Based on Ghotbzadeh’s life history, we all know now that they were receiving terrorist training from the PLO.

Feedback for him:

  1. Sazegara referred to a “military government” instead of the commonly used term “junta government” in political science terminology.

Henry Precht says that Americans did not know what was happening in Iran. 

According to Carole Jerome’s book “The Man in the Mirror: A True Story of Love, Revolution, and Treachery in Iran,” Ghotbzadeh communicated with Robert Kennedy to explain Iran’s widespread poverty.

 Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi’s domestic policy was focused on hard power, and he prioritized strengthening Iran’s economy, resulting in a growing population of middle-class citizens.  

Trita Parsi @tparsi stated in the documentary that Khomeini’s ideology was to conquer Iraq and then Israel.

In conclusion, the documentary movie failed to prove that the King of Kings, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi I, caused conflict between Israel, the US and the Middle Eastern nations because the King kept the peace in the Middle East. 

The documentary should focus on The Guadeloupe Conference of 1979. It should discuss how the United States, France, England, and Germany came together to overthrow the Pahlavi Dynasty. The documentary should also highlight how their foreign policy caused unrest in the Middle East, leading to the sale of expensive weapons at the cost of innocent lives.

Embodiment of Lies: “The Man in the Mirror: A True Story of Love, Revolution and Treachery in Iran” by Carole Jerome.

I want to mention two important points before getting into the book review. Firstly, Iran has a rich cultural heritage rooted in Zoroastrianism. According to this religion, a liar is considered an enemy of Ahura Mazda (God). Darius the Great once prayed to God to protect Iran from its enemies, famine, and deception (lies), as lies can be incredibly destructive to both individuals and nations. When people make false statements, their credibility is lost, and people stop believing in their words.

The 1979 Revolution in Iran is tied to Western propaganda’s soft power that destroyed Iran and still has an impact today.

To understand how the Western propaganda 

During a television program, a reporter asked Empress Farah Pahlavi about the weakness that led to the collapse of the Pahlavi Dynasty. The Empress responded that the Dynasty did not have a public relations office to communicate Iran’s modernization to its citizens, which allowed its enemies to manipulate and deceive them. Empress Pahlavi stated that the media coverage by Western countries was venomous and was destroying everything.

His Imperial Majesty, King of Kings Mohammad Reza Pahlavi I, made Iran a regional power by building its hard power. Iran had a strong military—the fifth-strongest military in the world—and an economy among the top ten in the world. What Iran lacked at that time was soft power. Iran did not have a robust version of Hollywood and media outlets to prevent foreign nations from shaping public opinions. For example, Canada has Canadian Broadcasting Corporations (CBC), a shield against the US media.

Part One: Flight to Iran

Chapter One:

On page 7, the author wrote, “Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was attacking the Shah. He lashed out at the monarch for making American soldiers in Iran immune from Iranian law and for giving vote and military service to women. Your daughters will be sleeping in the barracks, he thundered…the soldiers came for him on June 5th. Dark and expressionless, he went with them to prison…religious students burst from the cool tranquility of the archways and courtyards of…After three days, thousands were dead.”

Carole Jerome employed the overgeneralization fallacy to deceive readers. Someone unfamiliar with Iran’s history might wrongly assume that Monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi had invited Americans to enter Iran and allowed the US military to roam freely.

Fact one: 

I read “The White Revolution of Iran” by Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi I. On January 26th, 1963, the Shah of Iran introduced a series of reforms to modernize Iran’s social fabric and economic and political structures. The White Revolution immediately impacted Iran’s society by ending feudalism and promoting welfare liberalism. 

I used the Shah of Iran’s book on how the White Revolution transformed Iran from a stagnant state to a modern and vibrant state. In my book “The Other Side of the Story: King of Kings Mohammad Reza PAHLAVI I,” I discussed the White Revolution using the pen name Ahmad Kasravi Tabrizi. Kasravi is remembered fondly and will always remain in our hearts and minds despite the efforts of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase his legacy.

Why did Khomeini attack at the White Revolution? Khomeini was a conservative person. A conservative person does not want to see any change in status quote and wants to maintain the status quo. The White Revolution was going to change the status quote. The status quote was about the power shift in Iran’s domestic policy. The feudal lords gave up their lands to the farmers. As Jean Jacque Rousseau says, ownership of private property is the source of having a class that does not have, and a class has. The merchant class or entrepreneurs had to follow the labour laws and share profit with their employees. 

Khomeini’s speech was more than what Carole Jerome said. Khomeini’s speech caused unrest in Tehran, and people came out of their homes and set buildings and public transit on fire. They attacked police officers and women. As a result, as Max Weber says, a state has a prerogative to use force for social order. 

Let’s discuss the Toronto Police Service (TPS). In the late 1990s, the TPS used force against the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty because they were vandalizing public property. What should the TPS do during times of unrest? During the 2010 G-20 Toronto Summit, Canadians lost their civil liberties, and The Fifth Estate made a documentary titled “Toronto G20 Protests – You Should Have Stayed At Home – The Fifth Estate.”

I can share my employment experience in Canada. I used to work for a VIP Soap factory, where I developed severe health issues. However, when I reported my situation to WorkBC, they did not take any action to help me. Their reason was that I did not create jobs or pay taxes to the government.

From the book’s very first page, it becomes clear that the author tends to deceive, making it difficult to trust the rest of the content.

In her discussion with Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, the author explains on pages 9 and 10 why individuals with similar beliefs to him reject the Pahlavi Dynasty for two reasons. The first reason is that Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi attempted to take Iran back to the era of Cyrus the Great and implemented Islamic laws compatible with democracy. Last, SAVAK, Iran’s secret police, the accused were subjected to executive force to extract information, and the rule of law was disregarded. The author says the Shah of Iran admitted SAVAK used excessive force to extract information from the accused person.

Iran’s political culture is a blend of pre-Islamic and Islamic eras. During the pre-Islamic era, Iran was home to powerful empires, as the Roman Empire could not invade Iran. Unfortunately, much of Iran’s history during this period was lost when Alexander the Great burned Persepolis to the ground, destroying all the books and records.

Iran witnessed remarkable scientific advancements in medicine, mathematics, and astronomy during the Islamic era. However, Iran struggled to defend itself against invaders and marauders, resulting in the loss of countless Iranian lives and the destruction of libraries, such as the one lost during Genghis Khan’s invasion of Iran. Despite these challenges, Iran’s history during the Islamic era is rich and fascinating.

The Shah of Iran believed in the importance of hard power and wanted the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces to be strong enough to defend the country against foreign invasion. Additionally, he allocated funds to support mosque projects and ensured that people of all religions in Iran could worship freely and according to their beliefs.

In Matthew 7, Jesus teaches, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” The author accused SAVAK of using excessive force to extract information from the accused person. According to the Shah of Iran’s book “Answer to History,” around 3,000 individuals were arrested for their political activities.

Let’s examine the facts who SAVAK arrested them. Sadegh Khalkhali was part of the Iranian Muslim Brotherhood organization and took part in the assassination of dignitaries in Iran. The author of the book refers to him as a killing judge. 

Hashemi Rafsanjani was part of the terrorist group in Iran and took part in the assassination of dignitaries. Post the 1979 revolution in Iran, he committed acts of terrorism against Iranian dissidents inside of Iran and outside of Iran. He also staged acts of terrorism against Jewish people. Last, he made Canada its economic base with the blessing of Canada and invested in countless business ventures like HWY 407 in the province of Ontario.

Once, Hashemi Rafsanjani’s daughter appeared in the state media and praised SAVAK for its professionalism. SAVAK agents were not rude to them or anything. 

Ervand Abrahamian, in his book “Torture Confession,” says that prisoners were bored in their cells. 

Sadegh Ziba Kallam has a video clip and says that he was receiving terrorist training to cause social disorder in Iran. 

Ali Sajjadi’s book “Ghoroobe-e Sadegh (Fall of Sadegh): Including Memoirs of Ghotbzadeh in Iraq” discusses his alleged involvement in supporting terrorism by working with organizations like PLO.

Now, let’s talk about Canada’s human rights record. In 2002, the Toronto Star published an article about the Toronto Police Service for engaging in racial profiling. To this very day, nothing has been done to stop racial profiling. It is not just the Toronto Police Service that engages in racial profiling; all of them do. Even worse, police officers are trained to lie during the trial so an accused person becomes guilty. 

The Fifth Estate made a documentary about Craig Bromell and how he was harassing and bullying politicians like Judy Sgro. 

Therefore, SAVAK agents never use their power to make false arrests, false imprisonments, or statements during trials to make anyone guilty. SAVAK arrested individuals who posed a threat to society’s safety and security. 

The author says that Khomeini acquired his divinity knowledge from the city of Qom. 

Khomeini needed help to speak the Persian language. His books became the subject of jokes due to his perverted ideas on how incest can be deemed sinless. Iranian icon Fereydoun Farrokhzad used Khomeini’s divine book word by word to say how a nephew can have intercourse with their aunt or how an adult male can have intercourse with a minor.

The author, on page 17, says that Ghotbzadeh pulled her toward his body and kissed her. Most likely, she had the body language to invite him into her world, and that sounds like a loose woman.

To be continue…

Tonya Harding Attacked Pouria Zeraati @pouriazeraati

On January 6th, 1994, American figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was attacked by Shane Stant, who struck her on the lower right thigh with a telescopic baton. The attack was orchestrated by Tonya Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly.

The assailant targeted Nancy Kerrigan’s lower right thigh because it had no vital organs, and the assault would not lead to her death. The objective was to prevent Ms. Kerrigan from a figure skating competition. It was very likely Ms. Harding would win the contest.

On March 30th, 2024, Pouria Zeraati alleged that the Islamic Republic of Iran had carried out an assassination attempt against him. He is known for being very skilled at carefully choosing his words to gauge reactions and exploit situations to his advantage.

The Metropolitan Police is collaborating with other law enforcement agencies to extradite and bring to justice three individuals who fled England after being involved in the case.

A rational person is aware of the Tonya Harding incident and knows that injuring someone’s legs would not result in death. Similarly, the blade used by assassins against Pouria Zeraati did not contain poison; otherwise, he would have died by now. Moreover, if the assassins intended to warn him, they would have slashed his face as a reminder not to mess with the IRI. The face is chosen because people look at themselves in the mirror daily.

Pouria Zeraati says the assassins went after his leg/s. Were the assassins after his family jewels? No, if they wanted to eliminate him, they would choose his upper body, which has all the vital organs.

Zeraati lies to people about his attack by the IRI. The facts are as follows: He is employed by Iran International, owned and operated by Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is using Iran International as a tool to control Iran’s foreign intervention in the Middle East by giving a platform to Iranian separatists by appearing in Iran International programs. Iranians boycotted Iran International, resulting in a decline in viewership. Therefore, Iran International is trying to attract more viewers by seeking the attention of Iranians by saying that their staff, like Zeraati, were attacked by elements of the IRI. However, the Islamic Republic of Iran does not threaten Zeraati.

England (Metropolitan Police) is collaborating with the fairy tale of Iran International because England has a long history of destroying Iran—particularly the ethnic issues. England supported the Ottoman Empire, Iran lost Iraq, and the Great Game of England caused Iran to lose land to Russia.

In conclusion, the IRI is least interested in Iran International because Iranians boycotted the television program. On the other hand, Manoto Television program journalists made documentaries that revived nationalism in Iran. The Manoto journalists are not complaining about death threats from the IRI.

Constructive Criticism for Koocheh “پشت‌پرده‌های حمله به پوریا زراعتی: جمهوری اسلامی یا.”

On Sunday, March 31st, 2024, the Koocheh YouTube channel posted a video discussing current events in Iran. During one segment, Koocheh aired Masood Rajavi’s assertion that the Americans wanted to remove King Reza Pahlavi the Great as the head of state of Iran. The King allegedly pleaded with the Americans for his son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Crown Prince and Heir of Iran, to be the new King of Iran. The British accepted this proposal and allowed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to become the next King of Iran.

Masood Rajavi deceived his audience by employing the hasty generalization fallacy (the overgeneralization fallacy). This fallacy involves making a claim based on insufficient evidence. To make a valid claim, you need to provide sufficient examples. In other words, you can only assert that something is true if you have substantial evidence to support it.

What Rajavi said was not even close to an actual historical event. During World War II, Iran declared itself a neutral state and did not want to be involved in World War II. England and Russia wanted to steal Iran’s black gold and besmirched the King of Kings, Reza Pahlavi the Great, under the pretext of being Nazi collaborators. 

The Imperial Iranian Armed Forces could not protect Iran’s national sovereignty, and the King had no choice but to step down from the Peacock Throne. At the time, the Prime Minister of Iran, His Excellency Mohammad Ali Foroughi, suggested that the King abdicate the throne in favour of his son. While the British aimed to restore the Qajar dynasty to power, the heir to Ahmad Shah Qajar, Hamid Hassan Mirza, was a British subject who did not speak Persian. Thus, with the help of Foroughi, Crown Prince Mohammad Reza Pahlavi took the oath to become the new Shah of Iran.

Now, the facts are in place, and you can see for yourself why Qajar Prince Hamid Hassan Mirza could not become the head of state of Iran because Iranians did not want him and not because the British wanted Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as the Monarch of Iran.

@pouriazeraati, #England, and #IranInternational Are Liars

On Saturday, March 30th, 2024, @pouriazeraati, from his Twitter account, posted a picture of himself on a hospital bed, holding his right hand up and showing the letter V for victory.

On Sunday, March 31, 2024, he wrote on his Twitter account “آنكس كه حقيقت را نمى داند تنها يك ناآگاه است. آنكس كه حقيقت را مى داند و آن را انكار مى كند و يا وارونه جلوه مى دهد، تبهكار است- برتولت فريدريش برشت” . However, he did plagiarism by not crediting the owner of this thought. “He who does not know the truth is just ignorant. The one who knows the truth, denies it, or makes it look upside down is a criminal—Bertolt Friedrich Brecht.”

He claims that an assassin attacked him with a blade and escaped away from the jaw of death. 

Let’s analyze why the stories of #England, #IranInternational, and @pouriazeraati lack credibility.

Let’s talk about the brutality of England against Iran from W. Morgan Shuster’s perspective as he narrates in his book “The Strangling of Persia.” In his book, he talks about how England used Iran’s weakness to destroy Iran, such as in “The Great Game,” where England caused Iran to lose its land to Russia. Even to this very day, England has not given up on its ambition to destroy Iran. The prime example is the Guadeloupe Conference of 1979, which explains how England, France, Germany and the USA conspired to aid Khomeini and his followers to gain power in Iran by using acts of terrorism. There is a video clip of Sadegh Ziba Kallam, who went to England to pursue higher education and decided to join the terrorist organization to cause social disorder in Iran by employing tools of terrorism. During the post-collapse of the Pahlavi Dynasty, England became his second home, and his daughter went to England without observing the headscarf rule of Islam while other Iranian women were facing death sentences like Mahsa Amini, who lost her life because her hair was slightly out of her headscarf.

Let’s talk about Saudi Arabia, which launched Iran International as a soft war measure against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The regime in Iran does not have the consent and the will of Iranians to govern. The lack of confidence in the state of the Islamic Republic of Iran is a clear indication that the Islamic Republic of Iran is vulnerable to internal threats. The nature of the Islamic Republic of Iran is a totalitarian regime. The regime is supporting Houthi rebel groups to clash with Saudi Arabia. In return, Saudi Arabia is using Iran International to foment unrest in Iran by supporting Iranian separatists. 

Once, it became clear to Iranians that Iran International was acting like England and wanted to divide Iran among its ethnic groups. Iranians began to boycott Iran International. The popularity of Iran International began to plummet, and viewership declined. Iran International is seeking the attention of Iranians by claiming that the Islamic Republic of Iran is contemplating an act of terrorism against its Iran International staff. However, the #Manoto Television program, which revived Iran’s national identity, the Islamic Republic of Iran, did not do an act of terrorism against its staff. 

Let’s look at Pouria Zeraati’s #pouriazeraati claim that he says one assassin from the Islamic Republic of Iran used a blade to end his life. However, he walked away with minor injuries. 

Let’s look at the conflict scene:

When people are under attack, they have visual impairment and auditory exclusion. 

An assassin has about 30 seconds to do its job and escape a crime scene. As a result, they are positioning themselves in the right direction to do their job and run away from the crime scene. 

In this case, an assassin would walk behind Pouria Zeraati and kick their dominant knee to immobilize him because he would go down and rest on his knees; now, he is on his knees and cannot run anywhere. Therefore, an assassin uses its element of surprise, and Pouria does not know what is happening and is suffering from visual impairment and auditory exclusion. An assassin would use one hand, move their forehead backward and slash their throat in a semi-circular way. The targets are the main arteries. As a result, as his heart is pumping, his blood would flow out of his body and would live a short time.

He claims that he survived the assassination. In that case, he fought with the assassin. The palms of his hands do not have any sign of a cut. His body does not have any sign of trauma.

An assassin would not target his belly because stab wounds to the stomach make it hard to pull the knife out. During combat, when soldiers are going into melee and are using their assault rifles with fixed bayonets, the knife lodges in the human body and opens fire their assault rifle to pull the knife out of the human body. A human cage works as a shelter and would prevent most injuries. The places that the assassin would attack were his shoulders and between his legs because of the large blood vessels. The last spot would be his kidneys, a hard target to hit. As you can see in this picture of him, he has no sign of trauma except one paper cut on his left finger. He can ask his mom to kiss that finger, and he will be fine.

On March 31st, 2024, he wrote a quote: “He who does not know the truth is just ignorant. The one who knows the truth, denies it, or makes it look upside down is a criminal—Bertolt Friedrich Brecht.” He did not credit the author of the quote. He steals people’s ideas.

Indeed, Iranians have reached an age of maturity that his little hocus pocus cannot fool Iranians. He makes up stories and thinks everyone will believe him. 

As a result, the history of England, Saudi Arabia’s Iran International and Pouria Zeraati lacked credibility at all times because they have a long history of destroying Iran, and now they are lost in space; they are looking for a venue to gain public attention. However, they are the losers of the liberation of Iran.

“The Man in The Mirror: A True Story of Love, Revolution and Treachery in Iran” by Carole Jerome

Introduction:

I am working on a blogging project and have created a section titled “Embodiment of Lies,” which refers to someone who habitually tells untruths. Western countries put Khomeini in power in Iran and created a world of anarchy because of this. 

 In this section, I will briefly review “The Man in the Mirror: A True Story of Love, Revolution and Treachery in Iran” by Carole Jerome.

In her book, Carole Jerome attempts to convince her readers that she was not a spy but rather in love with Sadegh Ghotbzadeh. She clarifies that Ghotbzadeh was not a communist but a nationalist. In the end, Ghotbzadeh was the man in the Persian Mirror that he desired, not the Mirror that Jerome had envisioned.

Throughout history, Russia has been a potential threat to the safety and security of Iran and has always had a plan to defeat Iran. During World War II, the Russian army invaded Iran, claiming that Reza Pahlavi the Great had collaborated with Nazi Germany. Even after the war ended, Russia did not withdraw its army from Iran. To counter this, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi I deployed the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces in Azerbaijan province, and the Russian military eventually moved back to its national border. However, Russia did not give up on its plan to conquer Iran. In the 1950s, Iran was going through a period of turmoil due to the nationalization of Iran’s oil. The Communist Tudeh Party was planning to assist The Red Army in conquering Iran while Mossadiq was the Prime Minister of Iran.

During the time when the Tudeh Party was causing unrest in Iran, Iranian nationalists took to the streets to prevent the Red Army from entering Iran and suppressing the Tudeh Party. As a result, Mossadiq was arrested and later found guilty by a military tribunal. However, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi I commuted his sentence to house arrest since Mossadiq was staying at his home and could not leave. Later on, Sadegh Ghotbzadeh was asked by his father to help Mossadiq, which eventually led him into the world of politics.

Sadegh Ghotbzadeh collaborated with the PLO, Syria, and Libyan leaders to overthrow the Pahlavi Dynasty. Due to their adoption of a left-wing ideology, he was labelled a communist.

The writer was attempting to demonstrate that Ghotbzadeh was not a communist and that the Israeli intelligence service had wrongly portrayed him as one. In reality, Ghotbzadeh was a nationalist who, at the eleventh hour, had hoped to orchestrate a coup to transform Iran from a theocratic state into a secular one to save the country. 

The author confessed that they were in an open relationship and dating other people, which made it clear that Jerome was spying on Ghotbzadeh. On page 292, the author mentions that after the announcement of the execution, American surveillance intercepted a phone call from Ahmad to Reyshahri. This suggests that the author was a journalist who gathered information from various people and sold it to the intelligence community.

According to the author, Ghotbzadeh was a devout Muslim who initially believed in Khomeini’s leadership. However, there came a moment when he began to doubt Khomeini’s intentions for Iran. The story reached its climax when the hostage crisis did not go according to Ghotbzadeh’s plan, and he failed to extradite the former Iranian ruler, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi I, back to Iran. In response, Ghotbzadeh decided to stage a coup to overthrow the theocratic regime in Iran. The coup was uncovered, and the plotters were executed by firing squad.

The Man in the Mirror is a story about Ghotbzadeh. It highlights that you see your reflection when you look at yourself in the mirror. Ghotbzadeh’s message was that if you want to improve the world, you must start with yourself. You can make a difference by standing up for what you believe in, no matter how small. It all begins with you.

On page 296 of the book, the author finally realizes that the person she was hoping for is not who she thought he was. Instead, she compares him to a Persian mirror, referencing the Epic Kings of Ferdowsi, where Rostam, father of Sohrab, kills his own son, similar to how Khomeini killed his son Ghotbzadeh.

Iranians’ Political Miscalculation Regarding the Liberation of Iran

Many Iranians are leaving their homeland for safety, security, and economic reasons and are settling in a new country. However, despite being hurt emotionally and physically by the Iranian regime, they do not turn their back on their motherland. In their new home, they are busy with their daily commitments, but they still make extra time to pursue countless opportunities that can bring hope, joy, and a bright future to Iran.

Iranians tend to be kind to others due to their cultural conditioning, which can be seen as a weakness by Western politicians who may try to exploit it. Iranian people believe that the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) poses a threat to the safety and security of Western countries, and they want to help defend these countries. They believe that a peaceful world, where safety and security are ensured, is the ideal state to live in.

I, like anyone else, made a substantial political miscalculation that we thought the #USA’s foreign policy was pursuing global peace and the Islamic Republic of Iran’s (IRI) foreign policy of terrorism was in paradox with the US foreign policy.

As time passed, an average Joe like me observed the US and Western countries in action regarding the IRI foreign policy interaction. It became evident that the US and Western countries wanted the IRI to engage in terrorist activities because they were supporting their military-industrial complex.

There is another political miscalculation from Iranians, who are running for political office, hoping to isolate the IRI in the international community.

Let’s take the example of an Iranian citizen who is deeply passionate about the freedom of their country and cares for other Iranians who advocate for either a republic or a constitutional monarchy. Let’s assume that this person acts selflessly and has no personal interests in the matter. Once someone is elected to an office and becomes a political party member, they are expected to follow the party’s policy platform on which they were elected.

Canada’s powerful individuals have sanctioned the party’s political agenda. These elites do not wish to see Iran released from the IRI because the IRI elements have made Canada their economic home. Due to this, Iranians are suffering from financial difficulties, not Canadians. In essence, Canada is profiting from permitting the IRI elements to store Iran’s wealth in Canada, and therefore, there is no need to have a conflict with the IRI.

As a result, Iranians need to look inside themselves for the liberation of Iran from the oppressive regime of the IRI and not seek help from outsiders to topple the IRI because the outsiders do not have the best interest for Iran.

There is an issue with what he is saying: there is a difference between democracy and monarchy. Democracy is a doctrine or principle of a healthy and vibrant political life. However, a monarchy state is not a doctrine system but the foundation of a country’s sovereignty.  

This paper aims to briefly distinguish how the doctrine of democracy differs from a monarchy state.

What is democracy?

Democracy is a Greek word meaning the rule of the people. It is not a form of state. It is not a form of government. 

This means that people will decide on their own decisions and foreign policies.

Consequently, democracy is the notion that state actors will ensure the welfare and well-being of citizens.

What is a monarchy state?

A monarchy state is a form of state where power is centralized in the hands of one person. Unfortunately, history has shown that this type of governance often leads to the state’s failure. However, Monarch Reza Pahlavi II of Iran is a constitutional monarch, meaning the power is not solely in his hands. Instead, it is dispersed among state actors such as the legislative body.

In conclusion, any form of state, whether a republic state or a constitutional monarchy state, needs a constitution with enforceable actors to ensure the well-being of citizens.

It is evident that he intentionally misled his listeners into thinking that a monarchy state is associated with an oppressive regime. Thus, he spreads fear and havoc among listeners to distance themselves from Monarch Reza Pahlavi II. However, Iranians remained steadfast with the Pahlavi Dynasty until the Iranian will have a national referendum to decide whether to have a republic or constitutional monarchy state.
