Jimmy Carter, the self-appointed touring ambassador of bad-mouthing America did his thing and hundreds of thousands of Iranian people died. In no time at all, the vicious Mullahs gutted the Iranian armed forces and executed many of its most capable officers. Saddam Hussein watched gleefully as the Iranian military disintegrated, and found the opportunity to carry out his Pan Arabism ambition by attacking Iran. Some eight years of barbaric butchery killed and maimed millions on both sides, gutted the vibrant Iranian economy, and visited misery of all sorts upon the Iranian people.
Iran’s Mullahs, with the aid of the beguiled illiterate and religiously fanatic masses, strengthened their stranglehold as they blamed others for their incompetence and larcenous nature for the people’s intractable problems. The ever- scheming Mullahs had to find a scapegoat, preferably many scapegoats, to blame. True to form they turned and bit the hand that helped bring them to power – the United States. For good measure, the Mullahs included Israel. Jews have always been good scapegoats for Islamists, going back to the time of Muhammad in Medina. The prophet of Allah, as soon as he gathered enough power, found it expedient to plunder the Jews’ properties, kill the men and take the women and children as slaves to exploit or sell.
The Mullahs who took over Iran needed more straw-men, preferably on the home-front itself. Well, Allah helped them with that problem with some 300-400 thousand peaceful Baha’is. Baha’is were perfect for the part, since they had their holy places in Israel and that automatically made them agents of the Little Satan. Now, many Iranians fear that history is about to repeat itself by installing the MEK cult leader, Maryam Rajavi as the undisputed president of Iran. Never mind their history of terror and assassinations.
Forty years has come and gone while the ever-contrite ambassador of apology, Carter, cavorts with the officially designated terrorist Hamas, bestowing legitimacy on thuggish Islamists. Then Mr. Obama engaged in negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran officials. He went above and beyond and made a horrible deal with the Mullahs. The Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, (JCPOA) offered Tehran billions of dollars in sanctions relief in exchange for agreeing to curb its nuclear program. I was troubled from the very beginning about this.
Iran and six world powers known as the P5+1 engaged in a negotiation with the end-of-the-worlder Shiite regime without the slightest consideration for the valiant Iranian people who have been struggling to free themselves from the yoke of fascist Islamists. Signed by the Obama administration in 2015, the accord between Iran, the US, European powers, Russia, and China put tight restrictions on Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. This appeared to benefit the Islamic Republic while leaving the door open for Iran to secretly continue with its nuclear ambition.
Fast Forward
On May 2018, President Trump, withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, and reinstated a crippling sanction on Iran.
The best predictor of the future is the past. The Mullahs are proven vicious mass killers. The religious fanatic mullahs’ record is one of deception, dissimulation, treachery, violence and much more. These Quran-trained and directed agents of a wrathful Allah can never be trusted. They are master schemers. They have been in the business of deceptions for centuries. They have perfected the art of duplicity, doubletalk, double-dealing and treachery. Prudence demands better proof, much better proof. History will prove that President Trump did the right thing.
My advice to the Trump administration is don’t make the same mistake Jimmy Carter did when he installed the Ayatollah Khomeini. The MEK is also known as Mujahidin Khalgh, best described as a cult rather than as a political movement because of its internal discipline. The MEK were very much like Jim Jones’s religious cult leader who initiated and was responsible for mass suicide and mass murder in Jonestown, Guyana. I cannot find a better comparison.
The United States has, in secular Iranians, its best friends in the entire Islamic world. It is imperative for the U.S. to help these Iranians to dislodge the vicious doomsday Mullahs, not as an act of altruism, but as a prudent measure of enlightened self-interest.
