“The world has paid a heavy price for the lack of democracy in most of the Middle East. Operation Ajax taught tyrants and aspiring tyrants that the world’s most powerful governments were willing to tolerate limitless oppression as long as oppressive regimes were friendly to the West and to Western oil companies. That helped tilt the political balance in a vast region away from freedom and toward dictatorship.” – Stephen Kinzer, “All The Shah’s Men: An American Coup And The Roots Of Middle East Terror In 1953, under the name Operation Ajax, the US — along with the help of its typical cohorts such as the United Kingdom —initiated a coup to depose the democratically elected Iranian leader Muhammad Mossadeq and reinstalled the monarchical power of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

This was because Iran made damn sure they lived up to their end of the deal, and independent media quickly showed that Trump’s claims were pure fantasy. With that carefully laid out plan disrupted with some simple observation and due diligence, the establishment was forced to create a different pretext on which to see its longterm plan to fruition. And it clearly involves Saudi Arabia, the world’s leader in human rights violations, and the new funder of American infrastructure. Saudi Hypocrisy That alternate pretext took shape in the form of a pact, named the Riyadh Declaration, which was recently signed by representatives from 55 Islamic nations that have vowed “to combat terrorism in all its forms,
