"The anger, violence and death threats against Rafizadeh are not the result of his career with SAVAK, a secret intelligence service that was renowned for its bloody tortures (although Rafizadeh says that being stationed in the United States, he took no part in such torture).
And the callers to the radio program appeared to have beenonly slightly bothered by Rafizadeh's admission in his book that he also worked for the CIA starting in 1965.
What really got the callers and the demonstraters going is the graphic descriptions of the late shah Mohamed Reza Pahlavi in the book as a corrupt pervert who had a homosexual liaison with his own prime minister, a vacillating paranoiac who toasted the assassination of John F. Kennedy and who may have had his own brother killed.
As Rafizadeh describes the shah's family, there was a long history of sexual licentiousness, drug use and general decadence. Nothing was beyond him, according to the book, including having one noisy political opponent literally thrown to the savage lions in his private zoo.
And yet, according to the book, the shah was pathetically insecure, anguishing over unfavorable articles in American newspapers and spending as much time currying favor with ABC-TV's Barbara Walters as he did trying to cultivate European heads of state." - Jim Anderson, "Former Iranian agent fears for his life" UPI Archives, April 26, 1987.
If I remember correctly, one of the more disturbing revelations in Mansur Rafizadeh's 1987 book, "Witness: From the Shah to the Secret Arms Deal, An Insider's Account of U.S. Involvement in Iran" was that the Shah raped his childhood friend and deputy head of SAVAK, Hossein Fardoust, in the early 1950s while they were on a hunting trip together in Switzerland, where they both went to school.
Fardoust later returned the favour by stabbing the Shah in the back during the critical period when the Islamic revolutionaries were at the gates and the military officially requested support from key government personnel to contain the revolt. After siding with the Ayatollah he later went on to become the new head of the Islamic Republic's successor to SAVAK called the SAVAMA.
Rafizadeh was the head of SAVAK in the United States so his claims could be credible or they could be fiction. But I think they're plausible because it explains Fardoust's sudden betrayal during the Shah's hour of greatest need. Some transgressions can never be forgiven or let go. Plus, payback's a sweet bitch.
It's also not difficult to believe that royals, particularly maladjusted ones like forever princes, engage in behaviour that would shock the conscience of normal people. I just read the other day on Twitter that the Shah's son, the one who wants to be the new king, raped his brother's wife. And we all know about Prince Andrew's debauchery on Rothschild island.
They are far from unique. The world elite is full of sick rapists and that includes, above all, royalty.
Elite organizations like the Bilderberg that steer world events and aim to direct the course of the modern world do not place individuals in positions of power and influence without first doing an intensive psychological profile on them. They single out weak and morally depraved characters with pliable personalities to ensure they follow their direct orders.
The oligarchs and secret societies, the hidden masters of democracy in control of the world, don't want to elevate independent leaders, but pawns who fulfill the sacred role of kingship by taking on the appearance of regal authority. They understand that societies are ruled by archetypes, so they give the public what they want.
Men in powerful positions like Trump, the Shah, or the Arab royals, who were put on the throne by forces more powerful than them, feel humiliated and insecure. To address this psychological wound and repair their fragile egos they overcompensate by committing acts of sexual dominance on those lower on the totem pole.
In a lot of cases their victims are men who have attained powerful standing through their own merit and talent. They want to be surrounded by victims and weak characters who know their place, not confident individuals who are able to stand up to them and criticize their policies.
President Trump said it best the other day, saying that he likes being surrounded by losers because it makes him feel better. This was the confession of a very insecure man. But at least he's honest.
True powerful men don't think or act this way. Real kings, men who conquer their way to the top of the political mountain, want to seek guidance from the best generals and advisors.
Trump is a weakling who didn't conquer anything. He lied, cheated and conned his way to the White House.
The Shah celebrated Kennedy’s death because he resented the fact that Kennedy was a natural aristocrat and kingly by nature. The Shah was given a title and a crown but he was far from being a natural king.
Trump displays the same resentful attitude towards superior men because deep down he knows he's a fraud. It was his father who built the Trump empire. He wants to be a king so bad but that is something you can't fake. Only true warriors can become kings.
