CIA attempts to topple Ahmadinejad at SCO Yekaterinburg summit - Magda Hassan - 21-06-2009 From Mossadegh to Ahmadinejad The CIA and the Iranian experiment by Thierry Meyssan* The news of alleged election fraud has spread through Tehran like wildfire, pitching ayatollah Rafsanjani’s supporters against ayatollah Khamenei’s in street confrontations. This chaotic situation is secretly stirred by the CIA which has been spreading confusion by flooding Iranians with contradicting SMS messages. Thierry Meyssan recounts this psychological warfare experiment. In March 2000, the Secretary of State Madeleine Albright admitted that the Eisenhower administration organized a regime change in 1953 in Iran and that this historical event explained the current hostility of Iranians towards the United States. Last week, during the speech he addressed to Muslims in Cairo, President Obama officially recognized that « in the midst of the cold war the United States played a role in the toppling of a democratically elected Iranian government » [1]. At the time, Iran was controlled by a puppet monarchy headed by the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. He had been placed on the throne by the British who forced his father, the pro-Nazi Cossack officer Reza Pahlavi to resign. However, the Shah had to deal with a nationalist Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh. Mossadegh, with the help of ayatollah Abou al-Qassem Kachani, nationalized the oil resources [2]. Furious, the British persuaded the United States that the Iranian dissent needed to be stopped before the country became communist. The CIA then put together Operation Ajax to overthrow Mossadegh with the help of the Shah, and to replace him with Nazi general Fazlollah Zahedi who until then was detained by the British. Zahedi is responsible for having instituted the cruelest terror regime of the time, while the Shah would cover his exactions while parading for Western ‘people’ magazines. Operation Ajax was lead by archeologist Donald Wilber, historian Kermit Roosevelt (grandson of president Theodore Roosevelt) and general Norman Schwartzkopf Sr. (whose son with the same name lead Operation Desert Storm). This operation remains a textbook example of subversion. The CIA came up with a scenario that gave the impression of a popular revolt when in reality it was a covert operation. The highpoint of the show was a demonstration in Tehran with 8 000 actors paid by the Agency to provide credible pictures to Western media [3]. Is History repeating itself? Washington renounced to a military attack on Iran and has dissuaded Israel to take such an initiative. In order to « change the regime », the Obama administration prefers to play the game of covert actions – less dangerous but with a more unpredictable outcome. After the Iranian presidential elections, huge demonstrations in the streets of Tehran are pitching supporters of president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and supreme leader Ali Khamenei on one side, to supporters of defeated candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi and former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani on the other. The demonstrations are a sign of a profound division in the Iranian society between a nationalist proletariat and a bourgeoisie upset at being held back from economic globalization [4]. With its covert actions, Washington is trying to weigh on the events to topple the re-elected president. Once again, Iran is an experimental field for innovative subversive methods. CIA is relying in 2009 on a new weapon: control of cell phones. Since the democratization of mobile phones, Anglo-Saxon secret services have increased their interception capability. While wired phones’ tapping requires the installation of branch circuits – and therefore local agents, tapping of mobile phones can be done remotely using the Echelon network. However, this system cannot intercept Skype mobile phones communications, which explains the success of Skype telephones in conflict areas [5]. The National Security Agency (NSA) therefore lobbied world Internet Service Providers to require their cooperation. Those who accepted have received huge retribution [6]. In countries under their occupation —Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan—, the Anglo-Saxons intercept all telephone communication, whether mobile or wired. The goal is not to obtain full transcripts of any given conversation, but to identify « social networks ». In other words, telephones are surveillance bugs which make it possible to know who anyone is in touch with. Firstly, the hope is to identify resistance networks. Secondly, telephones make it possible to locate identified targets and «neutralize» them. This is why in February 2008, the Afghan rebels ordered various operators to stop their activity daily, from 5PM to 3AM, in order to prevent the Anglo-Saxons to follow their whereabouts. The relay antennas of those that refused to comply where destroyed [7]. On the contrary, with the exception of a telephone exchange which was accidentally hit, Israeli forces made sure not to hit telephone exchanges in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead from December 2008 to January 2009. This is a complete change in strategy. Since the Gulf War, the most prevalent strategy was colonel John A. Warden’s « five circles theory »: the bombing of telephone infrastructures was considered a strategic objective to both confuse populations and to cut communication lines between commanding centers and fighters. Now the opposite applies: telecommunication infrastructures must be protected. During the bombings in Gaza, the operator Jawwal [8] offered additional talk time to its users – officially to help them but de facto serving Israel’s interests. Going one step further, Anglo-Saxons and Israeli secrets services developed psychological warfare methods based on an extensive use of mobile phones. In July 2008, after the exchange of prisoners and remains between Israel and Hezbollah, robots placed tens of thousands of calls to Lebanese mobile phones. A voice speaking in Arabic was warning against participating in any resistance activity and belittled Hezbollah. The Lebanese minister of telecommunications, Jibran Bassil [9], files a complaint to the UN against this blatant violation of the country’s sovereignty [10]. Following the same approach, tens of thousands of Lebanese and Syrians received an automatic phone call in October 2008 to offer them 10 million dollars for any information leading to the location and freeing of Israeli prisoners. People interested in collaborating were invited to call a number in the UK [11]. This method has now been used in Iran to bluff the population, to spread shocking news and to channel the resulting anger. First, SMS were sent during the night of the counting of the votes, according to which the Guardian Council of the Constitution (equivalent to a constitutional court) had informed Mir-Hossein Mousavi of his victory. After that, the announcing of the official results — the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with 64 % of cast votes — seemed like a huge fraud. However, three days earlier, M. Mousavi and his friends were considering a massive victory of M. Ahmadinejad as certain and were trying to explain it by unbalanced campaigns. Indeed the ex president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was detailing his grievances in an open letter. The US polling institutes in Iran were predicting a 20 points lead for M. Ahmadinejad over M. Mousavi [12]. M. Mousavi victory never seemed possible, even if it is probable that some fraud accentuated the margin between the two candidates. Secondly, Iranian citizens were selected or volunteered on the Internet to chat on Facebook or to subscribe to Twitter feeds. They received information —true or false— (still via SMS) about the evolution of the political crisis and the ongoing demonstrations. These anonymous news posts were spreading news of gun fights and numerous deaths which to this day have not been confirmed. Because of an unfortunate calendar overlap, Twitter was supposed to suspend its service for a night to allow for some maintenance of its systems. The US State Department intervened to ask them to postpone it [13]. According to the New York Times, these operations contributed to spread defiance in the population [14]. Messages describing death threats, police bursting into homes, etc. sent by authors who cannot be indentified or located. Simultaneously, in a new type of effort, the CIA is mobilizing anti-Iranian militants in the United States and in the United Kingdom to increase the chaos. A Practical Guide to revolution in Iran was distributed to them, which contains a number of recommendations, including: set Twitter accounts feeds to Tehran time zone; centralize messages on the following Twitter accounts @stopAhmadi, #iranelection and #gr88 ; official Iranian State websites should not be attacked. « Let the US military take care of it » (sic). When applied, these recommendations make it impossible to authenticate any Twitter messages. It is impossible to know if they are being sent by witnesses of the demonstrations in Tehran or by CIA agents in Langley, and it is impossible to distinguish real from false ones. The goal is to create more and more confusion and to push Iranians to fight amongst themselves. Army general staffs everywhere in the world are closely following the events in Tehran. They are trying to evaluate the efficiency of this new subversion method in the Iranian experimental field. Evidently, the destabilization process worked. But it is unclear if the CIA will be able to channel demonstrators to do what the Pentagon has renounced to do, and what they do not want to do themselves : to change the regime and put an end to the Islamic revolution.

Serbia, Georgia, Kyrgistan, Iran. It is all the same. Iranian “Otpor” activist Iranian Coup d’État: Shade of Green and the Same Clenched Fist We know Washington is orchestrating and funding coup d’état presently taking place in Iran, among else because it was reported back in 2006 that United States decided to use covert means to remove Ahmadinejad from power, from within — it is much cheaper, safer and entirely pain-free for the Empire, in comparison to an open warfare. We also know pro-US activists in Iran have been receiving “aid from the West” since 2004, when the so-called “Iran Human Rights Documentation Center” based at Yale University, received $1 million from “a smaller American government aid program intended for Iran’s opposition inside the country”. In 2006 Bush administration demanded $75 million from the US Congress “to encourage opposition to Iran’s ruling mullahs”. Washington also ran and sponsored secret workshops since April 2005 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where paid Iranian “activists” were being trotted for instructions on how to topple Ahmadinejad. One of the trainers Washington brought over to Dubai to teach young Iranians how to destroy their country and hand it over to the Empire on a silver platter, is no other than the US State Department’s traveling revolution salesman, Otpor activist Ivan Marovic. “The content of the workshop consisted of explaining the principles of mobilizing the population in the situation where fear is high and there are tensions in the society, meaning they are facing a political crisis. “We discussed how to overcome that crisis without destruction of property and loss of human life. These are nonviolent strategies of civic mobilization. This is a standard workshop based on the examples from Otpor, our fight against Slobodan Milosevic,” Marovic said. Serbian Otpor logo Now in Iran Recycling Revolutions, Cutting on Design and Printing Costs Yet, the U.S. president claims he knows nothing about this. Obama says he “saw on television” that Iranian protesters, fashioning their “peaceful demonstrations” after Serbian Otpor — trained and financed by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), International Republican Institute (IRI), US Agency for International Development (USAID), Freedom House and other Washington-based institutions specializing in toppling the governments which refuse to be subjugated by the United States — intend to remove Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from power. Obama says he’s “deeply troubled”. So are we. Kmara, Georgia Pora!, Ukraine KelKel, Kyrgyzstan Oborona, Russia Following the Same Script Just like Otpor and so many color revolutions and “popular movements” after October 2000 (which used elections as a trigger), Iranian demonstrators are following a foolproof script — starting massive riots over the claim elections were rigged and they have been cheated (”Where is my vote?”) Eagerly backed by the ready chorus of zealous Western news agencies, with 24/7 media coverage repeating the same scenes over and over, drumming it up in every corner of the world (unlike the popular movements entirely unpopular in the West, such as months-long massive street protests attempting to topple Washington-installed Gyurcsany of Hungary or Georgia’s Saakashvili, which received almost no coverage by the Western MSM), Iranian demonstrators are instructed to keep insisting “their” president is not the one who won the elections (Ahmadinejad), but the man Washington wants to install (Mousavi, a US puppet predictably hailed by the Western mainstream media as a “pro-reform” candidate). Like Otpor in Serbia in 2000, they demand recount of the votes or, even better, brand new elections. In either case, an “independent”, Washington-funded body will be tasked with declaring preferred candidate a winner. Although advertising their state coup as a “nonviolent movement”, Iranian protesters, like Otpor, Kmara, Pora and others before them, are attacking and provoking security forces, throwing stones at them, ganging up on lone policemen, getting up in their faces, swearing at them and mocking them while on duty, in order to provoke violent reactions in front of cameras and to destroy an aura of respect and authority security forces commonly have among the ordinary people, who haven’t been paid by the Washington to demolish every institution of their state under the present government. And, like many times before, the state — unwilling to use force against the masses — is losing again. Now, if United States was a democracy and if its media was free, we could hope Obama will eventually be informed about this too by his state television. But as it is, the US president is destined to remain more ignorant about the world he lives in than we are. http://de-construct.net/e-zine/?p=6589 CIA attempts to topple Ahmadinejad at SCO Yekaterinburg summit - David Guyatt - 22-06-2009 Mark Stapleton Wrote:Peter Presland Wrote:It's the same with the rest of our MSM - they speak with one voice on the subject - so much so that its down-right scary.

But the basic aim is the overthrow (sorry, "regime change') of Iran along the lines of the overthrow (sorry, "regime change") of Saddam in Iraq. Eliminating the principal threats to Israel in the Middle east is the name of the game.

CIA attempts to topple Ahmadinejad at SCO Yekaterinburg summit - Peter Presland - 22-06-2009 Here is a good example of what I mean by the general population considering themselves well informed on Iran through the medium of our MSM. Iain Dale is one of the top 3 political bloggers here in the UK. He would describe himself as 'libertarian centre-right'. He roots for Camerons Tory Party and his all-time political heroes are - wait for it - Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan !!! In spite of that he is a genuinely nice, personable, sociable guy. Honest he is. I used to have quite a bit of contact with him through his blog comments but was forced to give it up as a waste of time. He is a consummate 'Westminster Village' insider; knows most of our middle-senior rank politicians personally and is privy to all the latest political tittle-tattle. Proud of his country; wants 'democracy' for everyone - at the point of a gun if necessary; heart bleeds for the downtrodden (but with the usual blindspots when it comes to Palestinians and almost any other repressed and disenfranchised indiginous people) - etc etc. He's not paid to have these opinions. He's not in hoc to covert forces pushing an agenda. He just genuinely believes - totally - in the USA/UK being a power for good in the world, struggling valiantly against the forces of evil and vilified for it by assorted 'leftists', anarchists, general uneducated rif-raf and of course the 'TERRORISTS'. I kid you not - a busy fool to put it at its most charitable in fact, but right up there among the mover and shakers in this country but totally blind to their real hidden agendas. So, that being the case - and with him representing of much of intelligent upper middle-class opinion in this country - what the hell chance is there that the mass of western populations will EVER be anything but sufficiently compliant for the perennial Deep State to continue on its merry way promoting the polar opposite of what he honestly believes is going on? More to the point; what can anyone do to reverse the near inevitability of it all? Anyway - here is his latest blog offering on Iran. Do read it. It is childlike in its utter credulous naivity, but that is what we are up against: Quote: Over the last week I have been perplexed, and a little appalled, at the response of both the British and American governments to what has been going on in Iran. Their attitude has been totally 'hands off' on the basis that they don't want to interfere in the internal affairs of another country. And yet Britain and the US are supposed to be beacons of democracy and free thought - countries who have been known for spreading the gospel of freedom all round the world.

It is utterly pitiful that anyone with half a brain can buy into the very obvious deep politics that surround them. But I think we all know many bright people who are deadly anxious to remain as blind as possible, as doing otherwise would so upset their foundations that they would crumble. What I have noticed however is that there is a growing trend of disbelief in the various phantasmagoria daily perpetuated by our beloved MSM. And the political class are now so mired in stink that even Houdini couldn't restore trust in them. Thank goodness.
