Colonel Tavakoli's memoirs are not just a record of his service to Iran but a deeply personal testament to his love for his homeland. His dedication to Iran, as depicted in his memoirs, is not just admirable; it's inspiring. This unwavering service to Iran creates a strong connection with the reader, fostering a sense of shared respect and admiration.

In his book, during the starting point of his military career, he mentions corruption was widespread during the reign of the Pahlavi Dynasty. The author was disappointed about the corruption during the reign of Pahlavi.

If Colonel Tavakoli were alive today, I would show the timeline of the Pahlavi Dynasty with his writing, noting that Reza Shah the Great brought peace, order, and government to Iran by creating a strong central government to eradicate civil war and stopping highway robbery and built Iran's infrastructure.

On page 533, the author says the military tribunal was free from corruption, except for a handful of unscrupulous military officers. When Colonel Tavakoli had a retrospective during their conversation with the justice of the peace, Colonel Kabir, on page 531, Colonel Tavakoli noticed how much progress was made during the reign of the Pahlavi Dynasty.

Colonel Tavakoli's memoirs provide a balanced perspective on the Pahlavi Dynasty, a crucial element for a comprehensive understanding of history. This balanced view, free from rose-coloured glasses, can prevent hindrances to progress and foster an enlightened, open-minded approach to historical analysis.

The issue was not the Pahlavi Dynasty; the problem was that Iran did not undergo political evolution. Every civilization has its theocracy era, and Iran needed its theocracy era, which it has now. Understanding this historical context can foster empathy and a deeper connection with Iran's political journey.

The author's emphasis on his vision for a Constitutional Monarchy under the leadership of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi is a thought-provoking element of his memoirs. His advocacy for more direct democracy and less intervention by the King engages the reader in a thoughtful consideration of political systems.

I have lived in Canada since 1991 AD. The concept of democracy is not the rule of people but an elusive mirage that has no meaning. Since 1995, the power elite has been using the legislative body to make laws to remove social safety networks, causing artificial poverty by causing economic anarchy. The end result of this action is homelessness, and the number of homeless people is on the rise. The media is used as an instrument for the power elite to perpetuate racism in Canada by blaming all social illness on marginalized people.

Since 2002, it has been a proven fact that Canadian police forces have been using racial profiling as a tool to increase the number of arrests so they can ask for more funds from government branches.

I wish Colonel Tavakoli was here, and we could have a discussion and show more examples to him that democracy is a new weapon of mass destruction to destroy developing nations and prevent leaders from building their countries.

Colonel Tavakoli and I would agree that Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi was a kind father to Iran, but we discussed his method of building Iran. Colonel Tavakoli wanted more direct democracy; however, I deeply respect the Shah of Iran's actions toward Iran's progress toward modernity.

Colonel Tavakoli was fitting that the military intelligence services treated him with a witch hunt method and isolated high-calibre military characters like Chiefs-of-Staff of the Iranian Imperial Army Fereydoun Djam and Field Marshal Bahram Aryana from building Iran and defending their King. This was done to isolate the King so they could exploit the situation during a crisis.

Colonel Tavakoli was amid a political evolution, seeking to understand his environment. In the early stages of his military career, he greatly respected Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi and His Excellency Mussadiq, and he aspired for both of them to contribute to the development of Iran. However, a disconnect emerged between Mussadiq and the Shah of Iran, leading to the 1953 Coup. Colonel Tavakoli was deeply disappointed by the outcome of this event and sought to establish an organization promoting direct democracy. As he dedicated himself to the military and engaged in statecraft, he gained insight into the Shah of Iran's vision for him.

Colonel Shamsi and his brother, Major Shamsi, made a grave error in judgment by assisting Russia, Iran's perennial enemy. From Colonel Tavakoli's writings, it can be inferred that Colonel Shamsi and Major Shamsi sought redemption for their mistakes. Still, military protocols confined them to a predetermined course of action, limiting their ability to think innovatively.

This book, "The Last Collapse of Iran," offers a valuable perspective on moving past grievances. The author presents a hopeful vision for Iran's future.

Central to the author's narrative is exploring Iran's historical decline, from the Achaemenid Empire to the Pahlavi Dynasty. He posits that the last Kings of the Achaemenid and Sassanid Dynasties, Darius III and Yazdegerd III, shared a common flaw- a lack of courage to lead their soldiers into battle. This deficiency in leadership, the author argues, allowed Iran's enemies to erode the nation's sovereignty.

The author discussed the negative impact of the 1953 Coup, a pivotal event in Iran's history, on the country's political life. Colonel Tavakoli believes Dr. Mohammad Mussadiq was moving Iran's foreign policy in the right direction by nationalizing Iran's oil industry, as his domestic policy aimed to counter England's control over Iran's domestic affairs. Mussadiq allowed freedom of speech to flourish in Iran. However, after the 1953 Coup, freedom of speech was limited and put to the test. 

Colonel Tavakoli was a supporter of Dr. Mossadegh. The Imperial Iranian Armed Forces' intelligence service decided that he could not be trusted and should not hold any position due to concerns that he might jeopardize Iran's safety and security. Despite being a highly decorated military officer who had received training in France, Pakistan and the US, the Iranian Armed Forces rejected his proposal to train soldiers in Rwanda. This rejection proved a turning point in his life, as he tried to overthrow the Pahlavi Dynasty through a coup. However, his plot was exposed, and the coup could not be carried out.

Colonel Tavakoli did not oppose Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi as the head of state of Iran but had concerns about the administration of domestic policy, including limitations on freedom of speech. The book's author, while acknowledging the shortcomings in the Shah's domestic policies, also showed sincere admiration for his leadership, providing a balanced perspective. 

The book's central theme, as the author emphasizes, is not to lament past grievances but to inspire unity among different factions. This call for unity is a powerful message that may inspire readers and contribute to a more harmonious and constructive political discourse. 

The author mentions several times that there was corruption during the reign of the Pahlavi; however, the author does not present any facts about the corruption.

The author presents hidden historical facts, such as the separation of Iran's Baluchistan from England 200 years ago and its subsequent transfer to India. These unique insights are likely to enlighten readers and spark further analysis and discussion, inspiring a deeper understanding of Iran's history.

Finally, Colonel Tavakoli survived with his daughter, Mitra, and his son, Babak. We should remember Colonel Tavakoli as a person who faithfully served his king, country, and fellow Iranians.

Traitor Masih Alinejad is Marching Iran Toward Civil War

 

In 1975, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi I declared his plan to reduce oil exports due to scarcity. In his speech, he said that in 1979, when the time came to sign another contract with seven major oil companies, it was decided that the contract would be short-term.

When Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi I gave the abovementioned speech, he made a significant error in his political career. He should have followed the strategy outlined in Sun Tzu's Art of War, which advises keeping one's plans secret and not disclosing them to anyone.

Now, the seven major oil companies knew they had to purchase oil at higher prices. They lobbied their politicians with a shared sense of revolution to overthrow the Pahlavi Dynasty.

The Western politicians knew that the Shah of Iran was interested in peace and had no plans for an ongoing war in the Middle East. As a result, the proposal put forth by Western politicians and seven oil companies to topple the Pahlavi Dynasty was nothing short of an ideal match.

The enemy of Iran was Khomeini and his followers, who were made up of left-wing factions. They received support from the British Broadcasting Corporations (BBC), the Secret Service of the US (CIA), and terrorist training camps in the Middle East and North African countries.

The enemy of Iran, the Western countries, empowered Khomeini and his followers and caused the relationship between the Shah of Iran and the people to break away and engulf Iran in the fire of revolution.

From January 04th, 1979, to January 07th, 1979, Western powers like England, France, West Germany, and the US met each other on Guadeloupe island. They discussed their plan to remove the Pahlavi Dynasty and install Khomeini in power.

In January 1979, the Shah of Iran left Iran with no prospect of returning to Iran. In Feb 1979, Khomeini returned to Iran and began to purge all other actors who helped him to return to Iran. Those actors that did not want to have the Islamic Republic of Iran faced the firing squad. 

Some separatist actors wanted ethnic groups to have self-autonomy. Khomeini appointed Mohammed Sadeq Givi Khalkhali as the Chief Justice of the Revolutionary Courts, who began to persecute anyone who held the idea of having each ethnic section of Iran have self-autonomy. Khalkhali also executed anyone without due process. In the end, the voice of the disintegration of Iran among its ethnic groups was extinguished.

Currently, the Islamic Republic of Iran does not have the support of the people; it is at the point of collapse. Those actors from the left political spectrum brought Khomeini to power and went to hibernate after Khalkhali's reign of terror. They are biting the drum of self-autonomy because the Western powers are empowering them.  

The ring leader is Masih Alinejad, who is on the US's Secret Service payroll and receives her money from the Voice of America—in her speeches, many times, called for the destruction of Iran. 

On February 23rd, 2023, Dr. Taghi Alereza released a document titled "The Political Stance in Iran," which illustrates Ms. Alinejad holds 1.929% of Iranians supporting her. Abdullah Mohtadi is an Iranian-Kuridish saparist with 1.6% of Iranians' support.

Once again, Germany wants to have its ugly history of the Thirty Years War, World War I, and World War II in the Middle East. Enough is enough of Germany; later on, it begins to cry that refugees are not integrating into its culture. Germany needs to look inside of itself and not blame anyone but itself. Germany has proven beyond doubt to be a troublemaker and contributing to global terrorism by supporting Kurdish organizations like Mohtadi, who is a terrorist.

What the US and Germany want to implement the strategy of "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm." The strategy is focused on Iran's ethnic groups to divide Iran among its ethnic groups and drag them into civil wars. 

Who will benefit from the civil war in Iran? Let's ask another question. Who did benefit from the war between Iran and Iraq? The Western countries, particularly the US, Russia and China, made a profit from the blood bath between Iran and Iraq.

Did you know Saddam Hussein attacked Kuwait with the help of England and France?

Gerald Vincent Bull was a Canadian engineer who is known for his work in developing long-range artillery. His ultimate goal was to create an economical satellite launch method, which led him to work on several projects. One of his most notable projects was the design of the Project Babylon "supergun" for Saddam Hussein's government in Iraq.

Sadly, Bull's life was cut short when he was assassinated outside his apartment in Brussels, Belgium, in March 1990. The theory is that his work with the Iraqi government led to his assassination by the Mossad. However, no one has ever been charged with Bull's murder.

England sold pipes to Saddam Hussien to build its dream artillery, and France sold Mirage jet fighters to him and convinced Hussein that he had the military capability to annex Kuwait and the US would not hold an offensive position against the Iraqi army.

In conclusion, Western countries are selecting actors that they do not have the support of people and are causing chaos in the Middle East to sell their guns and bullets. Later on, people fled their countries in mass exudes, and the Western countries began to cry that we had immigration issues and newcomers were not integrating into society and did not like our culture. The devil is the Western countries, and look in the mirror and point your finger at it.

Political Tension of Homelessness for Election Times

 The provincial parties of British Columbia have scheduled an election and voting date for October 19th, 2024, while the federal parties have set a date for October 20th, 2025. The issue that has been dominating conversations is homelessness, which is caused by the high cost of housing. It is crucial to find affordable housing options, as it allows people to save money and work towards obtaining their dream homes. 

Having a home is crucial as it provides a sense of security and a place to rest after a long work day. With a home, finding and maintaining employment becomes more accessible and gives hope for their future.

As a result, to have a home equals employment, and in the absence of a home, it equals homelessness. 

The number of homeless people in Canada is increasing due to the actions taken by some past premiers, such as Mike Harris (Ontario Provincial Party) in the 90s, who repealed social safety networks, including rent control. This resulted in landlords raising the rent prices, making it difficult for people to afford a place to live. As a result, many Canadians have lost hope for their future and have fallen victim to homelessness.

Stephen Harper (Conservative Party of Canada) was the Prime Minister of Canada from 2006 to 2015. Canada's housing market was in crisis, and he did nothing to stop it. The political parties from different ideologies blamed it on the Chinese, who came to Canada and bought properties and caused a shortage of housing, and there was nothing that they could do.

In the summer of 2023, provincial and federal political parties shifted their focus from the Chinese and started blaming international students for causing a housing shortage in Canada. According to them, the influx of international students into the country has increased housing prices, making it increasingly difficult for Canadians to afford housing.

At the beginning of 2024, charges were brought against politicians for their inadequate performance. Pierre Poilievre accused Justin Trudeau of being responsible for the housing crisis, while Kevin Falcon from BC United held David Eby accountable. Their actions resemble a circus, where clowns roam around aimlessly and carry out their antics without paying attention to their surroundings.

Ontario is currently facing a severe housing crisis. Despite this, Premier Rob Ford from the Ontario Conservative Provincial Party is not taking any action to address the issue. Political ideology is not the root cause of the problem, as politicians use the housing crisis to gain public support and profit from people's suffering.

In summary, politics is meaningless as it resembles a circus rather than an effective way to solve the problems of a nation. However, the issue of housing shortage in Canada can be solved. The housing shortage is because the power elites in Canada are buying houses before they are introduced to the market. This practice is causing a housing shortage in the country.

Politicians know that the ongoing housing crisis is leading many Canadians to immigrate to other countries, causing a labour shortage and posing a threat to Canada's economy. However, instead of addressing the issue, they exploit it for political gain during elections. This is a sad situation, as the politicians are taking Canadians hostage for their individual goals. High-level university professors must be invited to provide expert opinions to solve the housing crisis.

Comparing Catherine Tait, the CEO of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, to Kayvan Abbasi, owner of #Manoto.

Comparing Catherine Tait, the CEO of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, to Kayvan Abbasi, owner of #Manoto. – House of Intellectual (wordpress.com)

There is a monumental gap between Canadian culture and Iranian culture, which stems from how Canadian history evolved and shaped the contemporary history of Canada and how ancient Iranian history moulds current times in Iran.

Catherine Tait is the CEO of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Literature and Philosophy from the University of Toronto, a Master of Science degree in Public Communications from Boston University, and a Diplôme d’Études Approfondies in Communications Theory from the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas. 

In 2019, Heather Tait came under criticism for her comments regarding the influence of Netflix in India and parts of Africa. She compared it to cultural imperialism, saying that people in positions of power may believe they are doing good for the local communities, similar to how imperial forces in the past believed they were educating and helping the people they colonized. However, she also warned about the possible damage to local communities that can occur after imperialism. She urged Canadians to be mindful of how global companies operate in their country. In response, TV critic John Doyle criticized CBC Television's lack of imagination and complacency with mediocre programming, blaming it on laziness rather than cultural imperialism.

In 2023, Tait made an announcement to the public regarding cutbacks at CBC. According to Tait's announcement, 10% of CBC staff would lose their jobs. However, when questioned on CBC News The National, Tait did not rule out the possibility of executive bonuses. This caused concern among the public, and Tait was subsequently summoned to the House of Commons. There, she was asked to answer questions related to why executives would still be receiving bonuses while 500 staff members were losing their jobs.

Kayvan Abbasi, the owner of Manoto, fled Iran during the Guadeloupe Conference of 1979 because the Western countries decided the best way to engulf the Middle East on fire was toppling the Pahlavi Dynasty. As a result, Mr. Abbasi fled Iran with no prospect of returning to his homeland.

In his vision, he imagined a future where Iran would be liberated from the Islamic Republic of Iran. He believed that a television program could play a crucial role in this by producing a diverse range of programs, including entertainment, news, and documentaries that focused on Iran's rich ancient and contemporary history, as well as the Pahlavi Dynasty.

He was a natural-born leader who could not attend school to gain theoretical knowledge on leading an organization due to a lack of resources; he gained leadership knowledge through hands-on experience. He worked at the Azadi Television program, which his father operated. Later, he moved to England in 2010 to pursue his vision of having a television program and established Manoto.

The Manoto TV program ignited a sense of nationalism among Iranians, empowering them to take charge of their fate. Previously, Western nations like England had a monopoly on Iran's media, like BBC, shaping public opinion through the lens of Marxist and Islamist ideologies. However, Manoto placed Iran's national identity at the forefront, above any Marxist or Islamist frameworks. The program focused on celebrating Iran's glory and promoting pride.

Manook Khodabakhshian, an Iranian dissident, sought a renaissance for Iran to overcome the challenges created by the Islamic Republic of Iran and to be freed from its tyranny. The Manoto was what Khodabakhshian wanted.

Manoto pushed the envelope hard and disturbed the Western country's investment in the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was enriching the military-industrial complex. Obviously, the Manoto had to stop its program so the Western countries could make financial gain from the blood bath in the Middle East.

In November 2023, the owner of Manoto, Abbasi, announced that the company would be ending its operations due to budget constraints by January 2024. However, Abbasi extended its operations until the end of January 2024 and continued until the early week of February.

So, let's compare Canadian business operations with Iranian operations. CEO of CBC Catherine Tait did not care about the well-being of the staff and allowed staff to be laid off. Tait learned to become self-interested because she learned from her cultural heritage of stealing lands from the First Nations, kidnapping people from the African continent, forcing them to become enslaved and, stealing their labour power and making profit for themselves. 

Cyrus the Great, the Pahlavi Dynasty, and pioneers of Iranian movies like Naser Malek Motiei or Ali Fardin taught Abbasi courage, honour, justice and the value of family. Abbasi could have shut down the Manoto program in November 2023 or sooner and put a large sum of money in his pocket. However, he kept its door open for staff to have final disclosure with its audience; unlike in Western countries, the management team fires their staff coldly and callously and traumatizes people for the rest of their lives like Brittany Pietsch, who made a video clip of herself being fired from an employee and did not know how to handle the pressure of being let go.

 

Marjon Abbasi Peter of Kayvon Abbasi

 

The English language can be complex, with many words having multiple meanings. This can make it difficult for someone like me, who is trying to learn English, to feel confident in their language skills. For example, the name "Peter" can also refer to a type of rock.

Kayvan Abbasi could not have achieved all that he has without the support of his wife, Marjan Abbasi. She stood by him during difficult times and helped him make crucial decisions. It is often said that behind every successful man is a strong woman, which is undoubtedly true in Mr. Abbasi's case. With her help, he may have been able to create Manoto.

Praying for Ebrahim Mohammad Zadeh and His Family

Praying for Ebrahim Mohammad Zadeh and His Family – House of Intellectual (wordpress.com)

Peyman ADL DOUSTI HAGH 🥋 ☼ 𓃬 on X: "How can I adopt this child? https://t.co/RAhFhsVGJ4" / X (twitter.com)

On Tuesday, January 16th, 2023, I went to my Twitter account to see what was happening in Iran. I watched a short video clip of Ebrahim/Ibrahim Mohammad Zadeh holding a leather belt and whipping his daughter. 

When I saw Mr. Mohammad Zadeh using a belt and whipping his daughter with it, that little girl with her tiny and fragile limbs could not handle pain; she was screaming in pain and running around a room with zero chance to escape the torture room. She was trapped in that room and had to deal with a monster with the title of father; I wished I was in that home and would shield her body with body and would not allow Mr. Mohammad Zadeh to abuse her child in that cruel manner.

I began to cry for Mr. Mohammad Zadeh and his daughter that they did not know how to interact with one another. The saddest moment for me was when the little girl told his dad, I promise you. A child should never promise anything to their parents. A child needs to be free from any obligation. 

I looked at the father's situation, how it contributed to the downfall of his family structure, and how it would hurt Mr. Mohammad Zadeh. Last, what Mohammad Zadeh needed to do was reverse engineering to save his family.

When I looked at Mohammad Zadeh, who was using physical force against his daughter to teach suitable manners, it became evident that he, too, was a victim of child abuse because he did not know any better to teach his daughter good manners.

I looked at Mohammad Zadeh's circumstances; he has been living under the dictatorship of the Islamic Republic of Iran since 1979. He only experiences the perpetual war policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the regime plundered Iran's wealth with nothing left for Iranians to have on their table to eat. Iranians were facing a shortage of food and water, a lack of healthcare, and environmental degradation. Mohammad Zadeh most likely lived in that house as a tenant and did not have money to pay the rent. He was likely struggling to hold onto a job because most employers could not afford to have employees. I cried for Mohammad Zadeh. I wished I could help him, but I lived far away from Iran and Iranians and had no opportunity to help him.

I looked at his daughter's future. She was diagnosed with childhood trauma. It meant that it was likely when she grew older that, she would run away from home, not have the protection of her family, and become a victim of the opportunity wolves.

Mr. Mohammad Zadeh needed to understand the best gift in this life: his daughter. He needed to invest in his daughter. He needed to allocate time and energy by doing ten (10) minutes of physical exercises with his daughter to build a family bond. He needed to spend time playing musical instruments and colouring to develop creativity in her daughter. 

Mr. Mohammad Zadeh needed to understand that physical assault on her daughter would have a profound psychological impact on her daughter as she would lose her self-confidence, and she may develop a reliance on substances or alcohol as a means of coping with stress. However, if Mr. Mohammad Zadeh worked on his daughter's self-confidence, she would become his champion in life.

A daughter had two houses. One was her house, which she took care of. She also managed her father's house. A daughter was like a butterfly who flew between two places and spread love. If Mr. Mohammad Zadeh wanted someone to care for him when he was older and needed extra love and care, he needed to invest in his future by caring for his daughter.

In conclusion, I became sad to watch Mr. Mohammad Zadeh whipping his daughter because I saw two victims. Mr. Mohammad Zadeh was the victim of his past, which was haunting him, and he was transferring his past pain to his daughter. Last, he was angry due to the circumstances in which he was living. He needed to know that physical abuse against his fragile daughter would not solve any problem; it would lead to more significant issues in their life. He needed to work with his daughter to repair the damage he had done.

I will pray for them until I pass away from this world for Mr. Mohammad Zadeh so he will develop a healthy relationship with his daughter, and I will pray for his daughter to remain strong and confident that guardian angels are watching over her.
