Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iranian Air Force Colonel calls for nationwide revolt, restoration of monarchy

A courageous man who deserves the support of all free people. May his call be heeded, and his efforts succeed.

  3. A return to a Monarch instead of a Democracy is a mistake. Persians now trapped by the results of an Arab religion remember feeling trapped by a Monarchy propped up by the US. Students from Iran, in the US, expressed that explicitly before the 1979, “revolution”. Maybe their children have forgotten?

    I doubt there is any depth of evil to which the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps(IRGC)won’t sink to protect their power and lifestyle. They seem to have a great appetite for torturing and killing women without a hint of conscience. And planting all those trees, actually cranes and lifts, with strange fruit hanging from them is becoming normal.

    Iran likely cannot free itself, and if the US aids an overthrow, don’t stop halfway like the Bay Of Pigs invasion, leaving rebelling citizens to be slaughtered by the IRGC..

    • I don’t agree that a Jeffersonian experiment can be replicated anywhere and everywhere. In Iran’s case, they are familiar w/ the monarchy, which is what they were throughout history. Also, unlike the 1970s, Reza Pahlevi has committed to being more of a titular head than an executive monarch like his father

      I do think that Iranians need some Israeli support to weaken this regime even further, but once that threshold is reached, they can drive it themselves. Reza Pahlavi already has a transition plan for the country, and hopefully, that should work

      • I sincerely hope you are right, Infidel. The median age is 34 and Islam has governed for 46 years. The Iranian citizens under about 50 have no memory of a Monarch.

        I based my above opinions on the interviews and announcements by Reza Pahlavi, who’s stated that Iran should be a secular, democratic nation, w/ due process for everybody, including regime figures. He also stated what he’d be willing to do politically, if asked to serve

        If he had been something like the al Thanis in Qatar or King Abdullah of Jordan, I’d have supported a democratic, republican movement in Iran instead. But there is widespread Iranian support for him

  4. Wouldn’t bet on him living a long life since the bad guys are, though weakened, still in control for Allah’s sake and all that rubbish.

    Ideally, Iran would return to its religious roots with Zoroastrianism. I don’t see how a patriotic Persian can be a devout Muslim considering the fact that Islam has been mired from its inception in Arab nationalism.

    • I agree Wellington. Why does a Persian accept rule by an Arab-founded-biased religion that is ever anticipating a Caliphate, and yet has no instructions for succession of a Caliph – a stark indication it is man-made. It’s a recipie for future wars among Islamic factions.

    • Completely second you on a Zoroastrian Iran: it’s better for them to return to a homegrown religion (although Zarathustra was born in Balkh, Afghanistan) than any foreign one, be it islam, Christianity, Judaism or Buddhism

      • A state doesn’t have to have a religion. Even Genghis Khan allowed freedom of religion. States that don’t allow freedom of religion will suffer (e.g., England during the Protestant/Catholic discrimination), because people will always seek the Truth. That might lead them on some strange journeys, but it is their decision. Although Zoroastrianism was the state religion of Persia, religious tolerance was granted.

        Islam will not allow a government like that of the USA.

        If a monarch allowed freedom of religion, Iran would have religious strife, because Islam has a lust for power that supersedes any chance of peace which is true in all countries.

        If Iran decides to be a secular country – which it probably will be once this regime falls – it needs to caveat “freedom of religion” w/ a lid on islamic activities. Like if residual muslims want to follow the 5 pillars, they can, so long as they do not disrupt public activity in the process. But anything beyond that – jihad, loudspeakers in mosques, et al need to be explicitly banned

        It would be easier for Iran to ban that if it declares itself a Zoroastrian state (or any other faith, although that wouldn’t make sense given their history): it anchors the state to a faith and is then free to ban any aspect of other faiths. Tricky thing about being secular is that it would then have to ban mainly islamic practices

  5. It is true that the Ayatollah Islamic leadership needs to be replaced by a better government for Iran. It would be best if a government by the people is elected by the people of Iran. There is a risk in trying to restore the old monarchy. The risk is that the new Shah could be a very bad and evil person who could be just as bad as the Ayatollah leadership.

    • Reza Pahlavi is a known actor in Iranian political life. He has formed his opinions about his country over the last 50 years. He is on record as stating that he wants Iran to be a secular, democratic country. Also, he has said that he has no ambitions for power, but if asked by a majority of Iranians, he’d be willing to head a national transitional government, or even be a titular head for the long term. Maybe powers b/w that of King Charles III and Crown Prince MbS next door in Saudi Arabia would be ideal

      As I noted above, we should not assume that a Jeffersonian democracy can be replicated everywhere or anywhere. We’ve seen what attempting that resulted in next door in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Granted, Iran is neither of those 2 countries, but it’s not America either. They had a prosperous, civilized society under the Pahlavis, after centuries of foreign dynasties ruled them, so if they can, that’s ideally a model for them to which they can return

  6. Gd bless him. Make his vision come true. It’s time for Iran to rejoin the world as it was .. a nation of wonderful, kind people

  7. As has been stated elsewhere, it’s hard to assign any credibility to the Colonel’s comments. He is standing out in the desert with no audience of agreeing Iranian military leaders. He could be in Arizona, Iran or Israel, or a dozen other places. If he and his comments really are factual, I would expect his life expectancy to be rather brief.

    • Since Mossad is reporting this, they may have deliberately kept his location confidential

    He’s either *very* confident, or else he’s really going out on a limb here…
