  1. It didn't cost anything because Iran was divided and easily swayed, Mossadegh's popularity was already waning, so very easy to push it over.

  2. Halliburton is an "Oil Services" company, Cheney CEO for a time.

  3. They don't want to hear those facts, or about the conditions on the ground when Kermit started his "low-rent" coup. Some suspect the coup would have happened without Kermit's rather silly actions.

  4. Now Russians and Chinese in Africa.

  5. Yes, this was not a secret, even in the 1950s. They don't want to hear that.

  6. NEVER NEVER a secret, popular book 1962-64 "The Invisible Government" by Wise and Ross, copies on Amazon today. I have a library full of these books, NOT taboo, not at all.

  7. British occupied Iran WW2 to keep pipeline open to the Soviets, that all changed with the Cold-War. British Oil started in Iran 1901.

  8. Problem with your statement is the concept of "class" which does not exist in the US. We have movement between economic groups, the rich grow poor and the poor grow rich and why a Marxist revolution of the proteratierat never happened in the West.

  9. Vietnam is now an economic ally and does not consider us evil, and while Vietnam has exported its own regional conflicts, they don't compare with Iran's threats of nuclear war.

  10. Who said that on TV, the are often the evil force on TV and in the Movies. What planet are you from?

  11. Shame the "Shah" at the time was such a weak and fear filled character, history may have been very different.

  12. Yes, including Iran had a border with the Soviets, the British occupied Iran to keep oil flowing to the Soviets in WW2 when they were an ally, cold war broke out, so there was reason to control that pipeline. No one on this thread or Democracy Now want to add those facts. US interests took advantage of British weakness after WW2, and later after Suez Crisis of 1956, too over leadership of the area. Also not mentioned is Nixon's trip to the Saudi's in the early 1970s to sell them bonds, we needed the cash. Many narrow minded bigots on this thread.

  13. Never a "secret", I have a popular book from 1962 with an entire chapter of the CIA involvement by Kermit. "The Invisible Government" by David Wise and Thomas Ross. Copies available on Amazon.

  14. "never mention" but you just quoted an American president "military industrial complex", you logic has internal confusion and ripe with fallacy.

  15. Ir was about Iran having a border with the Soviet Union.

  16. Jimmy Carter had appointed a non-CIA insider as leader, Stansfield Turner, some say the CIA staged a coup to oust Carter by allowing the hostages to be taken.

  17. Japan had already raped Nanking and threatening the Phillipines.

  18. nonsense

  19. "Tribal People" picked the wrong side, over and over again. Check our the Seven Years' Wars also known as the French and Indian Wars. Cherokee sided with the Confederate South, one Chief was even a slave owner and made a General. Bad choices led to bad consequences.

  20. This was never a secret, and it was never "joyful". Iran had a border with the Soviet Union, the world was facing another war, this one with nuclear weapons, that's what's forgotten in this thread and by Democracy Now.

  21. "More precisely" it was a matter of a border and pipeline with the Soviets.

  22. Iran had a border with the Soviet Union, a fact left out this discussion.

  23. There is nothing secret or new in this "report". We learned much in 1975 from the Church Report, not this narrow-minded woke piece of propaganda.

  24. Your virtue signal does nothing but effect your own brain chemistry.

  25. BP was founded by a British-Australian man married to a Mexican in 1901, easy to answer your own question, or perhaps you believe the "Royal Family" and all their european relatives are Jews? I've heard that laughable take before.

  26. No, by the early 1960s Allen Dulles and the Dulles family were on the outs.

  27. Books on the Dulles family, including the sister, have been out for decades. The coup in Iran was hardly a secret.
