It has been a while since I had started writing on this matter which has been subjected to misinformation and disinformation activities for manipulation of Iranian people and Iranian political establishment (inside and outside the governing system) by foreign intelligence agencies. The so called Iranian "leftist" minded intellectuals and the hard core members of nationalist groups like "Iranian National Front" (or Jebhe Melli) have been the easiest targets/victims of this manipulation for more than half a century. This matter in fact was one of the main issues which created an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust between different groups in Iranian elite and intellectuals to provide the grounds for destruction of political establishment and creation of chaos and instability in Iran so that certain goals regarding oil and destabilization of the region could be achieved in order to advance certain global agendas.
In accordance with such agendas, Central Intelligence Agency of The United States and US political establishments, have been capitalizing on keeping Iranian people away from the realities and truth about the events which resulted in bringing American oil companies into Iranian oil business and taking away a big portion of the profit from British oil companies. Nationalization of Iranian oil which has been influenced by Americans from the beginning, was in fact the main operation which required co-operation of Iranian government and all available communication documents from US Intelligence agencies and political leadership indicate that an oil settlement between Iranian government and British was of highest importance and they counted on the government of PM Mosadegh to accomplish such task.
Failure of PM Mosadegh in resolving the oil dispute with British, had created a tense situation in the country and brought about much economic hardship for Iranian people and finally, it costed PM Mosadegh most of his support among the closest allies as well as among Iranian general population. Available documents indicate that although US government was aware that the referendum to dissolve the Iranian Parliament was illegal, they showed a positive attitude towards it and were hoping that Mosadegh's government would survive for the rest of the year and after that. These documents also indicate that US government was concerned about rising influence of Tudeh Party in the government and in the society and they had made preparations to start a "FREE IRAN" government in southern part of the country with the help of tribal elements in case Tudeh Party attempted to take over the government through a coup.
Documents also show that, although Americans were aware of Tudeh Party influence and infiltration of Iranian military (and they knew some of high ranking officers by name), they had no idea about the extent of that infiltration. All their concern was about keeping Iranian oil away from hands of Soviets and they were prepared to split Iran in half if they needed to in order to achieve that.
Since the bogus story of Kermit Roosevelt has been published to portray him as champion of Iranian oil settlement, US government have tried in many ways to (indirectly) give some sort of credibility to this James Bond story of a lifeless loser whose name (for kinship with President Roosevelt) was the only source of credibility that he had. These attempts were done through publishing the story in magazines, publishing books by questionable characters and offering meaningless apologies to mislead Iranians of the real meddling in Iranian affairs which they had done to prepare the grounds for establishment of Islamic ruling system in Iran.
It goes without saying that if Iranian political system (prior to revolution) along with Iranian opposition were not as flawed as they were, accomplishing such tasks would not be as easy if not impossible so in fact, most of the blame goes to Iranians for not being vigilant enough and do not stand on guard for their own civilization and their own way of life.
In the past, I have mentioned that American CIA has declared many times that they do not have documents regarding the events in 1953 because of the clean up operation which they do on regular basis. At the same time, they have declined to declare that the bogus story that was published by New York Magazine and George Washington University and authored by Donald Wilber, was NOT a document from CIA and had nothing to do with CIA.
In previous segment, I published some parts of one document related to CIA covert operation in Guatemala in the year 1954 to show how a real CIA document looks like and how it is written. The "PBSUCCESS" document which was partly presented here, is in fact over a thousand pages and I have all of that in my possession. In this segment I publish some parts of a few CIA documents regarding the affairs in Iran from the year 1949 to 1953 including an hourly report regarding events in August 17/1953. I have to mention that hundreds of pages of such documents are available from the archives of US government and obtainable under FOIA.
The first four images are from a CIA document of the year 1949. Please pay attention to the name of agency, emblem, date and title which is clearly in the view on the first page of the document. In second page we read about distribution of document and name of departments and people who receive a copy of the report. This list includes: the president, state department, NSC and head of the US army etc...
The rest is about stability of Iranian government and its relations with Soviet Union.
There are other documents of the same year in which CIA has provided detailed reports about Tudeh Party and its membership from which, here, I bring a single page which indicate membership of the party from different sectors of society including 500 in military which I believe is just an underestimate.
The next 8 images are from a CIA report in 1951 (just bear in mind that there are many other reports and documents in between, from 1949 to 1951 and afterwards). Again, please pay attention to CIA emblem, name of agency and title and date on first page of the document. This document has been published in year 1951 which was the year that late Dr. Mosadegh had started to work as Prime Minister of Iran. The document is mostly about oil related matters. Many different issues are discussed in this document including taking over of oil industry by Iranian government and possibility of landing of British forces in southern Iranian provinces to confront the situation.
The point in publishing these documents is to show that it is impossible that CIA has destroyed only one particular document to make room in their archives. CIA has never destroyed any document and all the documents for any kind of operations that they had planned or implemented, are available and obtainable from their archives. I have already published some of the documents related to their covert operation in Guatemala and the absence of any documents regarding the bogus so called "operation tpajax" is the best evidence that all claims regarding such operation was just a LIE by a couple of political charlatans to scam Iranian government and foreign oil companies. This matter of course was milked to the fullest by United States government to enforce their agenda and manipulate Iranian opposition to destabilize and destroy the existing political establishment at that time.
In October 1952, CIA made a report about "Prospects For Survival of Mosadegh's Regime In Iran". According to conclusions of this report, Mosadegh's government would survive for the next 6 months at least and CIA predicts that if Kashani would come to power then it would cause deterioration of Iran and final take over by Tudeh Party.
Following is the first page of NIE report from January of 1953. This report is about probable developments in Iran through out the year 1953 Please pay attention to the information clearly shown on the page:
And finally, here we have a report from August 1953 about the events of August 17th/1953
And the last image is single page cable communication of CIA, reporting to Washington regarding the "genuine" uprising of the people against Mosadegh's government on August 19th (28 Mordad) because they had nothing to do with it:
I think this should be enough to convince any unbiased reader of capabilities and effects of CIA regarding the events in August of 1953, although there are tons more document to show how CIA and American officials including President Obama, LIED to mislead Iranians regarding the roles that they played in bringing Islamic ruling system in Iran which has caused much grief and damages to Iranian nation. Please read my articles on Islamic Revolution in Iran for more information.

Before I continue with the stories................. , I like to bring a few more details regarding the events in 1953 and the fall of late PM Mossadegh and also regarding the oil matters. There is a misconception, mainly because of misinformation by Central Intelligence Agency of the United States, regarding existence of any document related to Iran in the years of confrontation between Iranian government and British oil company over nationalization of Iranian oil industry. It has been said by the agency that CIA documents related to Iran from the year 1953 have been "cleaned up" as per a routine process to make room for other newer materials. This turns out to be nothing but a fib as we can find many of documents from CIA and State Department of USA, not only from the year 1953 but also from much earlier than that still available.
The truth is that there is nothing in all available documents to confirm anything related to story of Kim Roosevelt and Donald Wilber. There are plenty of NIE documents which indicate American intelligence agency monitored the situation in Iran and they were even concerned at one point that a coup might have helped Tudeh party to take the power out of the hands of PM Mossadegh and establish a communist system in Iran. For that reason, according to documents, US government had tried to prepare the grounds for establishment of a non-communist government in southern part of Iran with the help of tribal elements whom they were in contact with.
This matter shows that they did not trust anyone from Iranian army to work with in case their strategic plans to enter in the business of Iranian oil through the process of negotiation with Iranian government did not come to proper conclusion. All the evidences from secret US government documents show that they expected that Mosadegh's government would stay in power for "foreseeable future". Americans were aware that British government also would not be willing to change their stance after the last offer which was presented to PM Mosadegh by US and British governments but he declined.
Moreover, Americans were worried about increasing influence of Tudeh party in Mosadegh's government as he had lost all the support from his conventional allies in Iranian political circles. Even with all of this, American government had no plan to do anything against PM Mosadegh because they were happy with the outcome of the efforts up to that point which was bringing US corporations into Iranian oil business negotiation.
In this part, I publish parts of the bogus document which has been fed to the public by NY Times Magazine and George Washington University as a genuine document regarding the events of 1953 and let the readers compare that with a genuine CIA document about the "PBSUCCESS operation" (more than one thousand pages are available) in Guatemala in the year 1954. As I have mentioned before, while one can find all kinds of information including names, dates, signatures on a genuine CIA document, all such information is missing in the bogus document which, I believe, has been updated more than once by forgers. We can clearly see the names of Dulles and Wisner who indicate their approval for the operation PBSUCCESS.
And later, before I conclude this article, I will present some of the real CIA documents regarding the events in Iran during years of 1952 and 1953 and especially during the month of August of 1953. It is unbelievable how CIA would lie ( I believe it would be naive if we expected otherwise) about "routine cleanup" of the files to cover up the absence of any document regarding the bogus "tpajax operation" which had been claimed by a couple of American political charlatans to extort money from Iranians as well as from American oil companies.
The complete document is available at George Washington University
Following is a few pages of the genuine CIA document about operation PBSUCCESS in Guatemala in Year 1954
Here is a couple of pictures of Donald Wilber, the author of bogus document who lived in Middle East region for a period of time since 1930's.
The first picture has been taken in America in 1987. There is a mark above Don Wilber's head. In second picture, Mr. Wilber is dressed in Arabic outfit which he used most of the time when he was in Egypt. He also used cowboy outfit in other occasions and loved to appear like Indiana Jones!
In next part, I will post some of the real documents of US government which exist in their archives and indicate they had no prior information regarding the events of August 1953 other than some general ideas of the situation.
Will Continue...

Dear Friends,
Please share the blogs in all your social networks and blogs in any way possible and spread the words as much as you can. New materials will be added soon. All I expect from those who want to use the information that is presented in these blogs, is to respect the integrity of materials and do not make any changes through unjustifiable interpretations as some people have done in the past. I understand that people's view about different things may vary but what is presented here is based on extensive research which I have conducted through out many years and if anyone likes to draw different conclusions then please don't do it on the account of my work.
Sometime in the past, integrity of the materials and documents which are presented here have been abused by some people of more popular medias in United States which referenced the work of "Middle East Research Institute" while there was absolutely no information available from that organization to confirm such claims. Because of that issue, I had to stop publishing further materials until I find a clarification and a solution to prevent such issues from repeating. This matter created a painful gap in my line of thoughts and a break in my research work and I finally decided to discus it in my blogs and make some changes in the way that the documents are presented.
It is very sad to see that people even in some reputable institutions and medias resort to such low attitude in order to make undeserved gains in their political agendas.
I encourage all my readers to share their thoughts and comments on what they see and read in the blogs. This will definitely help me with continuing my work and I appreciate that very much.

One of the issues which have been in the focus of many who follow the line of conspiracies through out the world in last couple of decades is the issue of "new world order" which was openly pronounced by different top ranking leaders of the world. I would like to talk a little about this matter before getting back to the main subject regarding "conspiracy" because the story of "new world order" has been considered as a "conspiracy theory" by many of those who follow the line of political cliche and political correctness, especially in the western world. This piece was first published a few years ago in some forums but I have made some changes and since it is very much relevant to the subject, I would like to bring it here before continuing with main topic.
Many people became aware of the story of "new world order" from the time when former president of the United States; G.H. Bush openly spoke about it while in office. In the first glance, the new order of the world with one superpower at the top, and creation of a single world government system to run the affairs of the whole planet may not seem a bad idea. After all, different nations share the same environment on a planet with limited resources which is more like a very tiny dot in a vast universe that its realities change frequently as our knowledge improves through advancement of our science and our wisdom. All of it may sound very nice. Prosperity and resources will be shared by humanity and international hostilities will cease in the light of more harmonious developments. Peace and tranquility will dominate on the planet and humans can engage in activities with higher and nobler purpose than gaining and collecting wealth and serving selfish agendas. Sounds very much like a beautiful dream but, is it anything other than that? We may have a second thought about it once we hear what some of so called "conspiracy buffs" have to say. What will be the share of Iranian nation in this "new world order"? This should definitely be important to all of us as Iranian nationals because we consider ourselves an important element in establishment of civilization on this planet. What do we get in "new world order"? Is "new world order" a conspiracy theory or a solid fact? How does it work? Who is in charge?
The fact is that having single governing authority for all humanity is not a new idea. Since the establishment of the first empire in the world by Cyrus the Great, this notion has been followed by many rulers in different parts of the world to justify the expansionist policies for domination over other people and exploitation of their resources. Empires of all sorts came and went and nothing is left of them today other than some ruins and historical tales. What can make another empire to have a different destiny? History shows that brutal repression has always been one of the tools which were employed by empires for expansion and survival until they faced an enemy which was more powerful than them. It is obvious that the nature of human beings has not changed much since the beginning of the mankind and no empire has vanished voluntarily if not faced with resistance and rebellion from its subjects or from external sources of opposing power. Is it possible to create a single world authority without need for brutal repression? Without exploitation of the weak for the benefit of powerful? Without corruption of authorities? Without monopoly of resources and power by a few who have gained their wealth and power through corruption and manipulations? Is it possible to build a fair and just universal system with remnants of a corrupt system that have had the main roles in corruption of the whole system and society before that? These are just a few questions from many which one may have about establishment of a new world order with single governing authority.
One of the major issues about "new world order" is with some of those who are most serious proponents of single world authority and the values that they believe in as much as it shows through their actions. The trail of their corrupt and criminal activities in most cases includes but is not limited to stealing, bribery, blackmail, murder and assassination that have been committed openly or through covert operations (if necessary) to maintain their own grip on power through manipulation of society and monopolization of resources. These affairs were not just happening in United States or Europe. The whole world has not been immune to these crimes. Daniel Yergin in his great and well documented book, "The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power", has written in details about how some of western corporations (mainly British and Americans) imposed and maintained their monopoly in the field of energy in the world through unwritten contracts and agreements while conspiring against others. A great documentary movie of 8 hours long has been made based on this book which although missing many parts of the book but still worth watching.
There are some speculations that the Italian oil tycoon Enrico Maatei who coined the name "The Seven Sisters" for the main oil cartel in those days (Exxon/Esso, Shell, BP, Gulf, Texaco, Mobil, Socal/Chevron) and was killed in a mysterious plane crash shortly after he agreed to give a better deal than oil consortium to Iranian government, was just one of many victims who tried to enter in a field that the oil cartel considered their own rightful domain. There are many other sources which provide information about how this new invisible empire of corporations has been creeping its way to take over the world's resources for a long time and it is just now, thanks to internet and explosion of information, that all these sources of information are reachable in much easier ways than before to help us understand what is being done to humanity and how.
Takeover of the world's resources by stateless or globalist corporations is not an American issue as American people themselves are also victims of this phenomenon. There are many people of different professions in America who have joined the efforts to expose the evil which is presenting itself as savior of humanity. Invisible Empire is name of a documentary made by a young American named Jason Bermas who started doubting the information that was coming out of main stream media and official sources and decided to research the matters on his own and find out the truth. His quest to find the truth started after the event of 9/11/2001 and Invisible Empire is his most recent production. It may not be perfect and complete but it definitely is a great piece of work to make us wonder about many things and events which have also affected our lives and the life of our nation. Whether it's called conspiracy or something else, the facts are there and it is up to us if we choose to see and question them or ignore them. Here is the link to the new video which is about 2 hr long:
Invisible Empire:
And here is "The Prize" documentary (8 parts) published by the author Daniel Yergin himself who served under prestigious positions for different US and UK governments and also as a member of academia :

During the years of late 1960's, a book was published in Iran which brought to light the misdeeds of United States government through out the world while acting as protector of American oil companies under pretext of US national interests. The author was a journalist named Dr. Mehdi Bahar, with known links to Iranian mainstream medias at that time which were suspected of spreading pro government propaganda by most leftist minded intellectuals in those days. The book's name was "Miras Khar-e Estemar" in Persian which means "Inheritor Of Colonialism". Many of leftist Iranian intellectuals were quick to dismiss it as a conspiracy by government to identify anti-establishment individuals who would rush to buy it! I guess I was a little too numb towards such ideas and that's why I took that book as soon as it was presented to me by the owner of the book store that I regularly visited (and, not very surprisingly, was suspected of being a SAVAK agent by same leftist intellectuals). Many years of passing the time has withered away my memories of the exact materials in that book but I remember fairly well that I was amazed by the amount of information (the book was over 600 pages) that clearly indicated how US government had capitalized on their own magnificent military might and the weakness of old European colonialists to take over the resources of the world. I was even more amazed by the reaction and suspicions of intellectual community which seemed to have its own interpretation of any publishing or event to fit their ideological preset definitions.
Around the same time, Isamil Raeen had published the first edition of his famous book, "Freemasonry In Iran" (Faramasonery Dar Iran) which divulged many secrets of this fraternity in Iran and revealed identity of many of its Iranian members whom would never be known by anyone outside that fraternity otherwise. There were also other publishing which were illuminating about unfair and unjustifiable policies of western governments (especially British and American) towards less progressed nations which varied as far as dept and significance. I remember reading the well known leftist revolutionary book of Nikolay Chernyshevsky (a forbidden book by government which was given to me by a leftist friend to read), "What To Be Done" or "Che Bayad Kard" in Persian, around the same time. To me, it looked as one of the most useless books to enlighten a reader about unjust behaviors of capitalist world towards others while to my leftist friends it was regarded like a sacred document. In fact it was more about sharing poverty and low quality of life rather than inspiring motivation and boosting spirit for advancement. The materials in that book apparently had been one of the major inspirations behind Bolshevik Revolution in Russia which was the bread basket of Europe at that time but, after the revolution, it fell to a level that it had to import wheat and corn from USA for internal consumption. Much later, when I was reading "A Century Of War" by William Engdhal, this made me wonder about what could have been the cause of such upheaval in Russia other than poverty which was commonplace all over Europe in those days but that is another story which requires extensive research and analysis of its own.
With all that said, I must admit that I personally learned more about evil nature of western colonialism and the forces behind them from reading something like Mr. Bahar's book than tons of useless leftist propaganda materials and publishing that, thanks to the lackeys of Soviet Union in Tudeh party, became available to everyone in Iran after Islamic Revolution. But all of that, especially these days, is nothing compared to the enormous amount of materials available to readers and researchers in the libraries outside Iran and also through internet everywhere. After going through many of such resources, I am convinced that we would be very naive to believe that colonialist powers reached such stage to exploit the resources of other nations for their own benefit without resorting to lowest deceptive tactics, committing all kinds of crimes and, engaging in all kinds of inhumane activities against others as an empire would do (or even worse than that) in older times. History shows that, as we get closer to modern days, the use of espionage, infiltration and conspiratorial activities have become the more favorable method to enforce colonialistic agendas by powerful governments in the west through different means including subversion against unfavorable establishments in weaker and less progressed nations.
During earlier stages in history, an empire needed a vast amount of manpower and resources to be able to enforce any expansionist agenda but this matter became much easier and less resource intensive after invention of firearm. After that,the only element to restrict and restrain the greed of European colonialist powers for more wealth and free or cheap resources was their ability to mobilize enough men with firepower to control such resources and the people who possessed them. That's how Portuguese lost their conquered territories and colonies to stronger and greedier colonialists who had bigger and better guns and more soldiers. Use of diplomacy as a tool to advance the hidden agendas of colonialist powers along with military power made the best combination that worked to the advantage of the European conquerors for a relatively long period of time. Awakening of people of the world to the intentions and agendas of advanced western powers posed a real threat to their interests which were heavily dependent on cheap raw materials and resources of colonized nations. This matter called for a new solution that was fulfilled by development of newer methods of control through covert operations of espionage and use of low cost local elements, wherever possible, to achieve desired goals.
British rulers who had won the war among colonialist powers, enjoyed domination of the world stage for a good period of time which still, to some degrees, continues to this day. British Empire spread from far east and Oceania to far west and the New World (continents of north and south America) and, despite the fact that they faced resistance in many of their colonies, one way or another, they managed to sustain influence in the affairs of former colonies through indirect means of manipulation. Social clubs and fraternities that were created of local people at the height of their presence in colonies and semi-colonies, and provided the members with great advantages and privileges, were in fact nothing but training institutions to prepare the members to serve colonialist agenda at the time of need under pretext of socially accepted values. Everything and anything would be done to protect the "status quo" and therefore, during previous century, the relation between colony and colonizer entered a different phase.
After the era of unfair "free trade" between western colonizers and colonies, new terms like "common wealth nations" gave a new look to the ugliness of deceit and greed of colonialist powers while no real effort was put into such relations by advanced nations in order to help in progress of developing nations which their resources and markets were vital to the economy of their colonizers that appeared as equal trade partners at this time. Entering of the United States of America into this equation as a new competition, did not have much effect on the nature of relations between the powerful and the weak nations. In fact, since United States was falsely viewed as a symbol of resistance and victory against colonial powers by most of non-western politicians, it became much easier for them to find a foothold among under-developed nations which suffered from a bitter and unfair relation with old colonialist powers.
In general view at the relations between western and non-western nations, western powers relied on cheap raw materials and sources of energy for production of goods to run their economy and sustain economic growth while expected the producers of raw materials to buy their manufactured goods without attempting to enter in the arena of manufacturing themselves. This unfair relation was one of the main reasons behind many tensions and confrontations between western and non-western nations while western governments seriously intended to remain in full control of the situation as later unfolding events clearly indicate. Development of universal fund and monetary organizations and with that, new and covert methods of influence and control through financial and economic levers, created concealed ways for pulling political strings and manipulating the situations to nullify any unfavorable activities and reactions effectively. In this new order of affairs, even elected officials of many developed nations (including United States of America) have become mere tools of control in the hands of strong financial institutions.
In these days, as we may all notice, the relations between nations can be very complicated due to the fact that many different elements and agendas are at work in order to maintain the "status quo" for the interest of powerful and greedy while the world's wealth continues to flow into the hands of a small number of people who are at the top and in control of all international economic and financial affairs. Almost every political event in the whole world is influenced by these relations which are designed to maintain supremacy of certain group of people over the rest of the world. Recent chain of events in most stable nations of Northern Africa and some Middle Eastern nations, have the hallmarks of this modern day phenomenon written all over them to show how weaker nations can be manipulated under financial/economic strings and political pressure into a direction of subversion to serve certain agendas for the rich and powerful which in these days, although reside in certain geographic areas of the globe but do not consider themselves bound by any man-made borders and territorial divisions.
All of these may constitute ground for a nice and easy label of "conspiracy theory" but what if there are tangible and solid evidence to prove such points without any shadow of a doubt? Believing that western imperial powers, which fiercely rivaled each other over whatever they considered vital for their own interests through-out the history, have given up on old habits and greed, would be very simplistic if not foolish. British and French went to a full-scale war against each other over "Rosetta Stone" which promised a key to decipher Egyptian's glyphic writings and finding the secrets of it's past monumental fortune and glory. Understanding the true cause of that war can lead us to the main motive (other than greed and treasures) behind all activities of western archaeologists through-out the past two centuries in the far territories of the eastern ancient civilizations but, that is a separate issue and is not the point of this writing.
To be continued..
