  1. Iran's democratically elected leader was overthrown by a CIA/British backed coup in 1953 precisely because he threatened US and British oil interests by threatening to nationalize them. The US/CIA were initially reluctant but were persuaded by the Communist domino theory argument that later led to Vietnam and other US led disasters/atrocities. What followed the 1953 coup was the brutal, vicious, bloody oppressive regime of the Western backed Shah. You say the West later backed the Ayotollah? The US-backed West not only needs to get its story straight, it needs to stop meddling in other countries' interests.

  4.  @sshender3773  My perfectly polite reply was deleted so I'll keep it sanitized in order to satisfy the algorithm. Watch the video would be my advice.

  5. Just remember a conspiracy theorist nowadays seems to be anyone who dares to question the official narrative of a proven liar.

  7.  @yurigansmith  I guess you could make a similar point about Pinochet's Chile where the CIA backed a military coup and overthrew the democratically elected, again left wing, Allende in 1973. I'm sure there were certain sections of Chilean society who did rather well out of it, but it came at the expense of Chile's then young democracy and ushered in years of terror, torture and political oppression. Still, at least some Chileans did ok right?

  8. Yep. They do that. A lot more in the last two years I'd say.

  9.  @sshender3773  So you've watched it then? I've long been sceptical about the 9/11 conspiracy theories, but by the same token I like to keep my mind open. The recommended video demonstrates the plausible false flag narrative - demonstrably and provably used before including in Vietnam - without going into huge detail about the nature of collapses. If you're not remotely interested in the world and always like to believe what you're told then my advice to you is to stick the MSM and leave us 'crackpots' to our own devices.
