At home, ketamine therapy, a lot of people these days struggling anxiety. Not sure why.

Kind of things. Yeah, there's all kinds of reasons people could be struggling. Mental health. That's tough. It's a personal struggle. You got to try to figure it out. No, no quick, you know, easy fix. You can't just like, I'm going to change my diet.

I'm going to eat apples from now on. Trust me. I tried the apples thing. What? Uh, it does. Okay, man. I don't know. You thought you'd solve all your problems just by eating a lot of apples. Is that really what you're saying? And you've been, yeah, well, I heard it from an apple farmer and looking back, it was a bad idea. Yeah. Well, that guy is just trying to get you to buy a bunch of his apples. Obviously, did you know what the time I'll tell you what you need. You should probably just eat only apples.

Someone complained that I was saying mo, sad, dig, a slowly and like three parts. And I just want to reach out to you guys to say, thank you for making fun of my mispronunciations. And then when I fix them for making fun of that,

you're not at all assholes. So I appreciate it. It's cool. Well, it's also, I think it's always nice when people want to like reach out and be recognized. Like it must be like if you like this show, it's got to be cool that, you know, the Dave recognizes you in a media is like, ah, I don't like you. That's probably what you're going for. And that's cool. What a great way to connect. Okay.

So where we left off was, uh, uh, most of that was back in power. He's the prime minister. A prime minister. Basically, the courts have turned away the British oil companies appeals to get back the oil company after he nationalized them. He's wildly popular. He is insanely popular. This is the guy. He's leftist kind of. He's helping people out.

He's doing a lot of stuff for the people of the country. I'm surprised to hear there's a part two to this story because it seems like how those things end where it's just things are got things stay good. I ran this on a trajectory now to be a really good country and have a really good country for its people. Yes. Then Dwight Eisenhower's elected president. What can we say about Dwight? I mean you go ahead take it away He was a military general He was he elected because you know everyone was fucking military crazy a lot of people

I think like Eisenhower because his last speech in office was like about the military industrial complex, but it's also like, yeah, it's so easy at the end of your presidency to be like, here's what's worrying me. And when you're in there, you do nothing. But he was, I don't know too much, but I believe he was known to be a bit of a lunatic. And I mean, he's a general. So he's a bit of a lunatic and I mean, he's a general, so he's a bit of a war man. I mean, so he was a moderate conservative type. He's a Republican, but he did have a guy who was his vice president, Richard Nixon, who was, I would describe as an insanely crazy

communist hater. Yes. Right. So everything's got me in American control. And, you know, obviously Eisenhower was also into American control. But as we go through, you'll see there's a little bit of differences, I think. So Monty Woodhouse is the chief of British intelligence station around. And that's right. And I'm the English name Monty. Yeah, Monty Woodhouse. Yes. He goes, one size an hour's in there. He goes to pitch the CA on helping out with a coup.

You said the CA, the agency, the talent agency. CA, yes. We're looking to put Dwight for an upfront. Just Dwight, you're corporate. Yes. So he takes, this guy goes in, he takes the Cold War sort of angle, arguing that Mosaadag's government is just ready for takeover by the Iranian Communist Party to dot, to debt, to day. I'm probably saying it wrong. I should probably look at it one up.

Oh, I thought you were stumbling on the word to. To you, D-E-H, to dot. To what day? To that, I don't think it's to dot. It might be. I mean, is it a magic place? Because if it is, it's magical. You know, whenever the magicians pull over a coup, they get a coup d'un. They do end with that.

How did you do that? We're part of ta-da. Ta-da. I mean, it might be ta-da today, because the ease, okay, whatever. So we'll call it today. We'll call it ta-da. I'll call it ta-da. You can call it today. You say, ta-da.

Go ahead. So, so that's, he's going to say, the commies are coming, basically. So, and that they're getting, they're getting support from the Soviets. Which is just you can do at any point anywhere now. And it's pretty effective. It's been able to. You've always been able to. I mean, we think because people are calling Biden a communist that that's new. It's not. It's what they've always done. They've always

called anybody they don't like. That's what the right wing's version of communism. I don't like it. It's communist. And what would be so great would be to actually like if you were to if you were in charge and you were called the communist to just back, all right, I'm going to be a communist. Yeah. Because if you're going to call me that and I'm just going to be doing like conservative policy. That's why when AOC, when Fox was giving her a lot of time,

on air time and they put a ball of things she was for, everyone was like, yeah, no, that seems good. Like all the conservatives was like, yes. That seems okay, because they actually don't know what it is. And when they see it, they go, yeah, what might health care? Yeah, I was talking to a friend of mine who was saying basically the same thing.

Like, I just keep getting called a communist because I'm like saying stuff about, that's anti-capitalist that I'm like, yeah, well, you know, a lot of the stuff that you're saying you want is actually, yeah, is, and it's funny how communism is the bad one and capitalism is the amazing one. Yeah, yeah. So, Eisenhower's secretary of state

was John Foster Delas. Ah, this guy, in the Delas brothers. They, so, and he gets an air reporter. His director of central intelligence was Alan Delas, his brother. Oh, that's him. The Dulles brothers were obsessed with eradicating communism, especially in Iran, which is the place we're talking about.

Yeah. That place that needs us. Or they're going to follow apart. Yes. And to get. Yeah. Or they're gonna fall apart. Yes, and to get yeah Alan Alan was five years younger than his brother John John was very stern and gruff when he was known for Opening and closing meetings with just grunts instead of saying thank you John dad John

He'll but John Okay, he's ready to start the meeting. All right. He's ready to start Oh, all right. We'll get out of here meeting adjourned. Come on get out of here. You heard him It was said that even John's friends didn't like him very much. I don't know if that's What's a friend pretty cool pretty cool. Well, it's a friend. Yeah. Okay, that's a fair argument. Years before the Dolos Brothers worked for a law firm called Sullivan Cromwell, and during which they recruited, if you remember from our very beginning, Cermet Roosevelt to work in Iran as a lobbyist. So the Dola's brothers were immediately on board to help the British remove Mo Zadeg.

Cool. And replace him with former lieutenant General Fazola Zahiti. They name it Operation Ajax. Now we don't know why they name it Operation AJAX. Hmm. Now, we don't know why they named it that. There is the cleaner. That's why I bet it's football team in, in, I bet it's the Cleaner. It's a harsh cleaner too. It's a harsh cleaner.

So I bet it's like just getting rid of all the remnants that are in the sink of this dirty dish. Yeah. That would be what I would think. So the year before Kermit had worked with Alan to overthrow King Farouk, the first of Egypt. So they bring him in to be the new head of field operations that I ran. Okay.

The plan has two parts. So turmoil to destabilize the government, then carry out a military coup. At this time was this like kind of people like, oh, it's a new idea. Whereas now is where like, yeah, we may as well be called Ajax the country. I Dau Dan it's new. I yeah, I Couldn't basically already already. Yes, but it's it's where they're starting to where it's there's still like

Really effective as opposed to now when a lot of people are just like bro come on Stop we still do it. We still do it. Oh, we do it all the time. It's all we do. Yeah. The CIA budgeted 150,000 for covert agents to manipulate public opinion and turn Iranians against a Moa Sedag. As lies were spread, thugs would launch staged attacks on religious leaders making it appear

they were ordered by Mosadag and his supporters. So it's a very simple plan. What could go wrong? So General Zahidi gets $130,000 to bribe fellow officers in the military for any action that they were going to need during this plan. So he's given out the money. And M.I.6 has a local sort of civilian network of people. They, okay, these names, I'm going to totally fuck up, led by the brothers. Rashidian, Asadullah and Sayafullah and Quadratullah. Nice.

Their father has been imprisoned by Shah Raza for having close ties to the British. So they use their import business to channel MI6 money to locals, right, to carry favor with the locals. More than 10,000 pounds a month, about 28,000 in our money. So back then, that's the fucking shit load. It's also hilarious how much better the exchange rate was back then. Like, shock it. That's one of, yeah. That's one of one, right?

Basically, well, it was, it was, it was two to one until Brexit. And then most of my life, it was two to one. Most of my life, it was two to one. Yeah. But then they solved their problem. Yeah, it's all good now. So it would go to cops and clerics and journalists,

politicians, street gangs, like they just spread it around. Their most important connections were at the Tehran Bazaar. It's a wholesale vegetable market. It's protected by a lutee, which is a gangster. Sure. And this lutee that protected the vegetable market was known as brainless shibam. Hmm.

What's the name? I don't know why he called it brain. I mean, was he who was dumb? That's really, I guess. Did he know about his nickname? I mean, he could have been that. It doesn't matter. It was like, what does that mean?

What would they call me? That does make sense. Fruit market is run by another guy. So together, they work out together, they do everything together, these two. But they are working out together. They're literally working out together and they're praying together. They do self-flagulation processions together, which you and I do. Yeah, well, we have to. You got to keep morale up sometimes you all you got is your buddy Yeah So the two men parade a lot of I guess it's like what counts as a parade is the question when does a parade start?

If you're Fragillating I think it's definitely a parade and It's good one first can one person flagulate? No, that's just weird. That's interesting. I feel like I could pull it off, but that's just me. Well, yeah, but not as a parade. I welcome your challenge, sir.

Well, it's out there now. So the Rashidians paid people to create the illusion of support for the shot. It's so, it's so, it really is like the planning is just so dumb, but also so effective. It's like, we're going to pay people to pretend like they don't like you. They like the shot. Yeah, they like the shot. How can this not work? They like the show. Yeah, how can this not work?

The CIA has three local operatives, Colonel Abbas, Far Zendigan and agents. Now the agents names are Farouk, Cavani and Ali Jalali, and the CIA code named them silly or killing, silly, C-I-L-L-L-E-Y. That's got to be silly, right? It can't be killing. Chili? Chili. Silly and Naren. So those are their codes.

So why don't you take Silly and Tomorrow and I'll take chili, you take Silly and, and I'll take chili and to do. Okay. Just in case we need to know, which it's good that we have those, I think, for later this show. Yes, absolutely. So, Kermit nicknamed them the Bosco brothers after a really popular chocolate milk drink at the time.

Now, I think this is where we get into Kermit, just a really white guy. He doesn't know how to say their name, so he just goes, go on the bus, good boys. Oh, yeah, yeah. Kermit. Kewani was a lawyer who had connections to Germany, and Jalalli was a journalist. Sometimes he worked for the AP or the Daily Telegraph. So they get recruited in 1950. They had mysterious espionage experience,

like they were some spy something, but no one really knows. That means they're coming out of it. Probably, well probably Nazi Germany, because there's German connections, and this is right after the war, so probably Nazi Germany because there's German connections and this is right after the war. So probably Nazi Germany The Bosco brothers funneled CIA money to gangster sports clubs and I ran any newspapers so the Americans now start courting

Iatola Koshani Okay, and he gets interviewed by the Herald Tribune, the New York Times, delegates from Congress, and academics who are supposed to be interested in Muslim Christian relations, right? It's just a lot of people. The playboy, suddenly. Yeah.

They flatter him by saying he's the actual true spokesman for the whole Muslim world. Dude, I mean, it really is just like, it's also fucking easy. It would be like an NFL team just ran one play and we're like, holy shit, we got another first dead. It's like, how the fuck is this work still? This is the actual leader. How does it work? Greed and a fucking pride.

I mean, that's the problem, right? Yeah, but it's also like, it's just, it also doesn't necessarily even matter because it's not like the people are necessarily even on board with it anymore. Like people are like, no, you motherfuckers, you motherfuckers and there's still. No, it's not on board. I don't know why you said that. People are still on board with it anymore. Like people like, no, you motherfuckers, you motherfuckers. And there's still. No, I'm bored. I don't know why you said that.

People are still on board with it. What do you mean? I mean, people when we go into another country and we're doing, it's not like those people necessarily all fall for it. It's just like the CIA's cover for America to be like, this is what we're doing. I'm confused. It is, it is a, since we keep running the same play over and over again, I think.

You're saying people are getting hip to it? More hip to it, but it doesn't matter. It's like, it's just like anything that happens in our government now where it's like, it seems like more people are like, wait, this is bullshit, but it doesn't matter. They're just going to steamroll you anyway. Well, because it doesn't, I think it doesn't matter because people just want fucking money. I'm not talking about the people who are, it doesn't matter.

I'm not talking about the people who are bribed. I'm talking about on mass, like the general population. Oh, yeah. Well, you'll see why it works. I mean, well, that's what I would, when we get to the end, I think you'll have a different feeling on that. Okay. The, so, so I guess interview by these places,

they're blowing smoke up his ass. He also meets three times with the US ambassador to Iran. Those transcripts today are still classified because, because why you. Kishani privately told the Americans that he released JFK assassination stuff and you're like, what's this? This is still confidential. It's crazy. Like everybody's dead. Everybody's dead. Yeah, right.

Yeah, right. You release it. Yeah. So Kishani privately tells the Americans that he favors General Zahidi as Mosodex successor. The ambassador thought Kishini had concluded that Iran could be saved only by a coup. So that's what the US ambassador just come away with. Who knows if it's true because, oh, it's classified. So by early 1953, the CA was telling the president that Kashini was a quote, key figure promoting pro-shaw street demonstrations in Tehran. So now they're

not so they're they're moving pieces, right? So now they're telling the president. They're lying to the president. This guy's just saying like I think that he should take over after most of the ex gone. He's not necessarily saying take him out. Right. But so they're, they're taking the truth and twisting it and moving it around. It's crazy, you know, for them to do, but yeah. It's very crazy. So they're getting the word in the President's ear. The British Embassy also has meetings with prominent Muslim clerics who are also getting regular payments from Britain and the Shaw.

So, it's just money. It's just lobbying. It's just, I mean, because you look at the, like any religious figure, I mean, people are gonna be a gas that I'm gonna say this, but look at the religious ones in America. They're no fucking different. They're all the same fucking religious guys.

They just take fucking money. And they're, it's like, it's a fucking griff for, I never get my buddy opened up a gourmet food store on the upper west side in Manhattan. And he was like, I gotta get the like kosher, like nod. I gotta get the kosher nod. I gotta get it. And you have to get a specific one.

There's like one very specific one that so many people look for. And if it's not there, they won't shop at your store. And the dude's just like, yeah, it's 10 grand. And he's like, okay, well, what do I have to do? He goes, nothing, just give me 10 grand. So it's just a fucking grip. The whole thing, they're all fucking grips.

They didn't, we didn't have to do anything different with the fucking silver, prepare the food differently. It was just like, give me 10 grand. So all these people are, it's a fucking, I ran it to the same fucking thing. We'll take a bunch of money to do your bidding. In the air, it's the same fucking thing. And it's, it's, it's, it's power.

It's just power in any circle is just, you know, the people get in positions of power and then they just completely lose total perspective on any reason why they got involved in anything in the first place. Pretty much. So there's the British has spread around a Muslim clerics. A crucial part of the plan was to highlight the communist threat, which is nothing. Well, that's what they said.

Says the communist. So to link to dad to the national front, exaggerate the Communist Party strength also forged documents, claiming the communist preparing to do a coup, and that once it was done, Iran would become part of the Soviet block. Wow. So just fabricate, you know, write up a bunch of papers that say that Iran's like, he's rich and we're rich. He's bigger and bigger. Yeah.

So news articles now start being written and are suddenly coming up in papers in Britain and America. I ran. Nice. There's not a single mainstream paper in the US or the UK that does not publish at least one major piece on the red commy threat to Iran in the summer of 1953. And again, not at all real, not happening, not a thing, but in all of our papers. It's just, it's just cool that it keeps working. It is very cool. And then it's like the same publications. That's what I like about it. That those publications are like,

what are newspapers and even state and business if they didn't get money from the CIA background? No, it's like, well, it's just amazing that, I mean, it's as always, you're like, yeah, you know, at some point, you got to be like, I think they're fucking lying to me. I think it, you know, that crazy thing that everyone says, I think it might be that crazy thing. I mean, the thing that gets me now is like, when you go and see stories out of North Korea

are just so laughably cartoonishly stupid that you're like people like look at this with their duty like yeah okay that's not real yeah that's crazy no right doing that yes yes I know yeah the fed he fed his assistant to dogs I know he didn't he didn't and we're just getting all that for isn't that all is that's all from the CIA too I mean that's all from that's from that's all from or separatist ex North Koreans who are now in America trying to, you know, it's the same shit. Yeah. There's no way a guy with a hairstyle that cools not chill. Thank you. Come on. Um, the New York Times, well, basically, I think what it comes down to is like, if you hear a western

media say anything about places that America is opposed to, right? North Korea, I read. You immediately have to think that's probably not true. And, and you can go look into it yourself. But most of the time, if you, if any podcast or any read any stories about what we've done in these other countries, it's almost never true. And we will put out a story. It will cause a great fanfare people screaming yell. And then it'll get its result. And then right after that, you'll find out it was never true.

Yeah. That's how they won't print that part. Or they'll print that on like the end. Or they just go, yeah, that didn't happen. We'll see Daisy. It's too late now. Um, so he's dead. Oh, man.

Yeah. Want to know the weather? So the New York Times puts out an editorial titled, most of dad plays with fire. Quote, we know he is a power hungry, personally ambitious, ruthless demagogue who is trampling over the liberties of his own people. Look, we know, we all know that. He is encouraging the, the, uh, two dad to, and his following policies, which will make the communist more and more dangerous.

Look, obviously, but we all know that. We all know that. That's a given. Now, for some interesting details, now that I've hypnotized you with the watch, let's talk. And even if you've heard part one, none of that is true. Right. Yeah, no, yeah. None of it. So the CIA in MI6 are funneling 11,000 a week to about 20 or 30 deputies over 20 newspapers that run articles in London and DC to an unnamed terrorist group to take direct

action against a Mo said deck. And they're going to do that through the Iatola Bihani. So through him, through Bihani, they are giving to preachers and gangs and southern to ran. The money at that point that is circulating there becomes known as Behaani Dollars. Nice. That's cool. Because it's just like money's raining from the fucking sky for a bunch of people, right? Yeah. That's all it is. So they're like, yeah, let's get some of those Behaani. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a dark, terrible man. Can I have some more? So there's a, there's a tribal uprising in southern Iran and these chiefs launched in in February 1953. And most of that thinks the Shaw is involved

and suggests that he leave Iran until things cool down. And the Shaw is like, yeah, I'm happy to go, man. I'll get out of here. Yeah, there's a little hairy. Yeah, let's get out of here. It's getting a little crazy and I think you're right. And I appreciate that.

Appreciate the heads up. You're my man. We are best. I'll see you. The minister of court described the Shah as being in a quote, almost hysterical state. And on the brink of a complete nervous breakdown and irrational action. complete nervous breakdown and irrational action. Well, say you wonder how much that is like tied to the fact that he knows shit's going

on. He's involved. Yeah, well, it almost it's like, yes, it's strange because I'm sure like Americans are like, buddy, just fucking lie. It's okay. Yeah, chill chill chill. You're just living a full-on life for selfish purpose. Could you just relax and let us over throw everything so that we can get more money? Do you understand? So at this point, most of DAG's enemies

accused him of forcing the shot to leave. Because, and this is a great example and you can see this in whatever conflict is going on today. They will do something and put it in motion like say, you know, suggesting the shot leave and I mean, they go, he made a believe. Like that is like, the play, that kind of shit is. Yeah, they shove you and then when you punch them,

they go, ooh, he's violent. Yeah. So they're like, he must have done is making him leave against his will. And then once he's gone, and then once he can, he's gonna abolish the monarchy. Nice.

And they get some people riled up and then they organize a mob to go to Mosadag's house on February 28th. And the crowd just getting bigger and swelling. And then a Jeep carrying Shabban, brainless Shabban. Smashers through the front gate. And most of DAG has to climb over his back garden wall and his pajamas to escape. In April, so now, or a couple of months later, Bakae supporters with MI6, kidnapped and then tortured to death,

the police chief and the officer who most of the day can put in charge of purging the armed forces. And his tortured body is dumped outside Teran to show the government is not capable of protecting its top people. So by mid-August, Kermit and his little gang have pushed Iran to almost total chaos. So it goes from everything being fine to just in a few months with all this money flooding around, all these people saying the shit, little actions like killing the guy, having the mobs, converge, bringing the other powers. Like it feels like shit's going haywire. So people are freaking out and papers and religious leaders now start screaming for Moa Sedag's head.

I mean, and again, how many of them are getting paid? Yeah, they're getting money. Well, even beyond that, the fact that you're, you're, it's just, it's amazing for the like the CIA and MI6 to be like sewing chaos. And then be like, I mean, this is chaos. He can't stay in power. Just crazy. What's that they do it? Protests and riots organized by the CIA just turn the streets into fucking battlegrounds. And most of the dag is just getting isolated and more weaker. The Shah has already written two royal orders. One dismisses Mosadag as Prime Minister, and the other names Zahidi

as Prime Minister. So he'd written those before he left and Kermit has those. I think, sorry, I might be wrong about that. But he's already got him written out inside. They're ready to go. And Kermit then starts part two of the coup plan on August 15th. Part coup, don't ever do that again. Of August 15th, 1953,

I mean, we're seven months into this. So it's going great. The military is now going to arrest Mo Sadeg, and then the Shah would put out those orders. He's already signed. Right. So a Colonel, who was trained by General Schwarzkopf's senior is leaving the operation. And he goes to Mosodeck's house with an armor vehicle, two jeeps, and two trucks full of arm-guards, soldiers guys, right? But when he gets there,

there takes waiting for him. Oh shit. Instead of the Colonel arresting Mosadag, Mosadag has the Colonel arrested. Nice. That's good. Oh yeah. Well, because now this is why,

because a member of the Shah's Imperial Guard had been secretly also in today, the Communist Party. Yeah. And so they, he had been like a double secret agent. So he then informed most of the day. It's funny for like the communists to now be helping him when he was like, I didn't even know these guys that well. Yeah, I mean, but where your buddy, well, he is on the left. I mean, they know the other side of the, I know, I'm just kidding. The Shah. So, yeah. So 30, after that, they 30 arrests, warrants are issued. The Shah, his wife and his personal pilot fly to Rome.

And General Zahidi is in a hiding, little hiding safehouse place of a US diplomat. Okay. And DC tells Kermit, it didn't work. You tried to take out most of the ad, get out. Like you're done. You fucked up this plan. Kermit said that was quote, defeatist to talk.

Okay. I like his spirit. He goes to Zeddy and he goes, do you want to try it again? And Zeddy's like, yeah, because what else is Zeddy going to fucking do? Yeah, he's in a safe house. Yeah, man as well. Yeah. So Kermit makes copies of the royal order and sends them to every Iranian agent, newspaper, and military commander that he has. Anyone in his, like, that he's got is given his money to his little bride boys.

He also sends to the AP in the New York Times. Well, surely they all have, now they have the orders saying the Shah is, you know, getting right off most of the neck. Right. Replacing him. Kermit then calls the Bosco brothers. And he tells them to arrange for protests for the next two days. He wants crowds going fucking nuts and shouting their religions to communism and also most of that. Maybe when Trump was doing that whole paid protest or thing, like, in like 2016 when he was like, those are paid protest, all that stuff.

It's like that. It's like, again, I mean, it's just it's so, Oh, anytime they say it, they're doing it. That's right. Right. Whenever they say it, they're doing it. That's right. Right. Whenever they say it, they're doing it. Right. Always. Right.

So they were, they're going to break windows, beat up, just, you know, people on the street, shoot at mosques. Just what the communist one. Just get everybody outraged. That's the idea. Get everyone in a fever. So and then come patriotic mobs

Who would fight off the commies, right? So say Marvel It's also what Putin did. I mean if you watch hyper normalization Right sending your guys and then sending your other guys to clean up your guys. Yeah. They have both acting like they're on different sides. Um, so preferably this would also happen with the cops helping out clear out the supposed commies who whatever aren't commies. So the Bosco brothers are, are worried about this because they're casting agencies essentially. They are. But this is beyond their scope. Like they're like, okay,

this is actually too big for us. It'll be the most dangerous thing they've ever done. And they tell Kermit, they kind of like not to do it. They kind of want to just pull out of the whole thing. And Kermit says, if you stay, I will give you $50,000, and if you don't, I'll kill you. Let us just talk this over, really. Yeah, go ahead and talk that one over. Okay, just go in the back of the head. So the money's appealing.

I think the money's very appealing. I'm just cleaning my gun here. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Yeah, the money's getting it. You guys talking about it? I think the other version where he kills us is also bad. Yeah, with that, we die.

So again, I think that's another marble on the side of the scale for taking the money. I wouldn't want to take the money if he wasn't going to kill us. Yeah, no, if he was going to kill us, I would say we don't take it. Right, but he's threatening. So honestly, I don't know why. I don're getting there. I honestly, I don't even know why he's offering us the money. Yeah, he doesn't actually need to offer us the money because it's just like if you're

like, Ham and a kill you, if you don't do this, we'll do it. Hey guys, money's off the table. Okay, that's crazy. I think he's gonna hear us. So we should probably stop kind of talking about that because I think I was like, he heard some of that. Yeah And that fucking sucks because that money was so great and he took that away from us. Yeah So should we pass? Well, we can't pass because the killing thing still there. Right, okay Do you know you're just talking to each other right in front of me? Mm-hmm. Yeah, we wanted to do the deal Yeah And that's the end of what I was going to say. Okay.

Great. Kermit hands them $50 in cash right there. $50,000. $50,000, what I say. 50. 50,000. She's going to put you back. It's not, okay, thank you.

Buy yourself some wine. So, on Monday, August 17th, Kermit got a second CIA message telling him to get out of Iran as soon as possible. Uh, and he just blew it off. Man, it's got shit to do. He's gonna get it done. He's gonna overthrow the country on his own. He's like a bat. The crowds are out when he gets that message, his crowds are out on the street. They're making way up from the slums of Taran, the south side. Bigger everybody, don't forget to mouth water melon to each other. Look real active. Well, here's the thing though. So you're marching through the slums and you're chanting communist slogans. Well, I guess he joins you

The communist so everyone's like we're going on a march. Fuck yeah, we are spontaneous So so all these I'm just an actor like six hours. No Yes, so all these actual communists and actual nationals start joining the the fucking March. It's great. They're totally innocent of all this. By the time they get to Parliament Square, tens of thousands of people. Oh, man, they keep coming up with these big broad plans that totally backfire. It's so

great to be like, yeah, and the evil commies will walk through this. True. I don't think we paid for 20,000. Well, but the bad actors are still in the group. Yeah. Right. Right. They tear down a statue of the Shah and they all cheer. You know, um, Kermit now is completely on his own. Okay.

He's holding meetings. He's smuggling men in and out of the embassy under blankets or in car trunks. Sure. I'm surprised the blanket thing is working. That's sort of... Yeah, they would just put on a blanket. What's under?

I'm a ghost! I'm a ghost! Oh! Kermit got a ghost. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Kermit got a ghost. That's crazy. He, that's like his eighth ghost. Yeah, this is a big ghost day. The ghost.

Crazy. Sorry, sometimes I get very boo. Wait. Mutton. Who said that? You were the ghost. Boo, I said it too. Like I'm, I'm a ghost. Oh, you? You were the ghost. Boo. I said it too. I got I'm talking to the ghost. Mind if I talk to the ghost for a minute.

Ghost, I lost a relative about six months ago. Someone very important to me. Can you explain to me if she's okay and what she did on Earth? So I know that you know she's there. Okay, look, I've been out of her while I really gotta use the can. So I just need to get in. The ghost has to poop. Yeah, she's here. Yeah, good.

This has got a dump one. Something crazy. I had really, I had peppers last night. The ghost date peppers? Oh, that's how you get the term ghost peppers? No, it's this different. I'm just saying I have. There'd be such an easy one for you to say, yeah, that is.

Because then that would convince me more. But instead for you to be like, no, that's not where ghost peppers come from. Seems sort of care a lot. I just kind of talk a lot, but I just, they call me Jimmy the factual ghost, but just I need to get in there and get my business done.

Yeah, you're here. She's fine. And you just have to go to the toilet. She said you're she said you're great. You're our favorite nephew and stuff. She did love me. Can I get in there? Yeah, you may go to the bathroom.

Thank you. I'm sold the barely. He, he's a Kermit just basically winging it. Like he has the guys on the street. He knows he knows he wants to go guys on the street and knows he wants to get all this chaos. But then other than that, he's just doing all this different shit

and he's just like improvising a revolution. He probably feels a tremendous sense of power. Oh, yeah. Which is, you know, addictive. He's clearing nothing with the CIA. He's just totally cut off from them doing it. Right. No, this political CIA is like, stop. And he's like, I've got it. Yeah. And MI6, no one in DC, no one in London has any fucking clue what's going on. Right.

On August 18th, thousands of people are rioting in the streets, looting, destroying images of the Shah, attacking he has made happen. And hard to take it back. Now Mooseh Dag is watching this and it's against the Shah, right? So he orders the police not to interfere with the riots because he's like people should have the right to protest. And essentially you're just talking about attacking property, which isn't a thing. Uh, excuse me. But,

it, Kermit is trying to make it look like Iran is completely sliding into anarchy. Like it's just becoming absolute chaos. That's his goal. The US ambassador met with Mo Sa'deg. He has no idea that Kermit, most of the deck does not know Kermit exists, but the US ambassador is working for Kermit.

Okay. And he met with him the day before and he told the US ambassador exactly what to tell Moose-de-deg. Okay. Moose said, Deg, Deg's Americans. He likes Americans, so the ambassador tells him Americans in the embassy are being harassed by the anti-shall protesters. They're outside, they're chanting Yankee Go Home. Oh, come on. Dippa, the mats are getting crank calls. So funny. Okay.

Sure. Great. Their cars are being vandalized. So he also said his own driver had been stabbed. The ambassadors as my driver was stabbed by some of these people. It was a prank stab, but still. And he's like, look, man, if law and order isn't like achieved here, if then, you know, you don't get it back. I'm gonna have to tell all the Americans to leave Iran.

Can you imagine your threat being, look, dude, if you don't get this under control, America's gonna have to leave your country. It's like, okay, I might have him light some more fires. Most importantly though, he said the US under these circumstances could not recognize Mo Sa'deg as the head of the government. Okay. So it's all lie.

He just fucking lies his ass off too. Yeah, well, they already don't recognize him, but okay. Mo Saddeg is shocked that his guests in Iran, the Americans are not being treated well. Iran has a long culture of court and Linus courtliness and hospitality to people. So he calls up his his police chief and his police chief

issues abandoned demonstrations. And he sends police to attack a mob. So the police are now attacking his supporters. Yep. He supported it. He also mobilizes a unit which is commanded by a general who is in on it with Sahiti. Okay. See, that's the...

Yeah, I mean, clearly, obviously, the problem is that he just doesn't know the CD underbelly of all this bullshit. Yeah, he doesn't know that the people who he's like, you know, in contact with are working against him. So yeah, he said a big disadvantage Everywhere it turns his duplicity in fucking nonsense, right? That's that's what it is So are you exhausting yourself with this one? I just this one makes me this story makes me the near time. I'm feeling good. Yeah. Yeah. We're good.

Quote. Police been in soldiers swung into action last night against writing to the communist partisans and nationalist extremists. The troops appeared to be in a frenzy as they smashed into riders with clubs, rifles, and nightsticks and hurled tear gas bombs. The next day, Wednesday, August 19th, businessman and British covert bitch, that's a good name.

Asadolah Rashidian told Kermit, so this is one of the brothers, this is one of the four brothers, tells Kermit to throw some last minute support to some religious leaders, which means money. He goes, you know, you wanna push this over the edge? I have a little bit more, it just greets the wheels a little bit more.

So Kermit sends $10,000 to Iatola Cushini and thousands gather at mosques and public squares, including a lot of people from Iran's athletic societies. Now these are called Zirk Hennas, and what they do like athletic shows for money. They're like strong men type guys, they do that kind of stuff. So now they come out in the streets and they're waving barbells over their heads

and some are juggling heavy pins. That's where I'd be swayed. I'd be like, well, I'm in. The strong men are here. And they've got their, like they have no shirts on. Like they're like, they're in their like outfits. Yeah. They just have some of them just have loincloths and mustaches. That's all they have no shirts on. Like they're like, they're in their like outfits. Yeah. Um, they just have some of them just have loincloths and moustaches. That's all. He's lost the naked

strong man, Don. A few, a few of them have knives or homemade clubs. Sure. So 200 of these athletic giant guys march through the bazaar toward the city center shouting long live the Shah and they're doing their dances and they're twirling they're doing all their fucking. They're doing all their little things. Sure. It definitely, it would make you be like, I, okay. Yeah, it's definitely like,

It's like a circusy ass. Spectacle, yeah. Yeah, it's like, oh, you're the come the strong men. He's lost Vegas. But they're, but they're athletic society. So I doubt we have a comp to them in America. Maybe. No, I would say like the hot dog eating competition.

Hot dog eating competition. Like our best athletes. I mean, maybe Karnies in a way, but I don't think anything close. Because it's a society of society. If I saw a bunch of Karnies being like, this is the government we need. I'd be like vote in the other direction.

I mean, I ran loves like, this is the government we need. I'd be like vote in the other direction. Ah! I mean, I ran loves like, I think one of the first, I've never done a doll upon him, but I believe one of the first strong men in America was, I think he was Iranian, but they like, they're the muscle thing in a kind of big. Yeah. They're total, like the weightlifting over there

is like, you know, they have giant fucking venues just to watch a guy live weights. I'm in Yeah, so So these guys here these guys come and they're whirling around and they're doing they're doing their dances and Instead of stopping them the cops Enc encourage them or get out in front and lead them down the street. An agent on the Operation Ajax staff in DC said, quote, that mob that came into Tehran was a mercenary mob.

It had no ideology and was paid with American dollars. So these guys, these strong men, this, this group are just pure don't care who's in charge, give us money and we'll cause some shit. And when the CIA says something like that, are they now like on board with what's happening? I mean, they have to be like into... They said that later, but... Oh, okay, right. Because now they're going like, oh, okay, there's like a lot of chaos, that's better than,

like they must sort of be like, Kermit, good work. Yeah, I mean, I assume so. I don't think they know what's going on. They could actually think it's a communist takeover at this point, like they don't, they don't really know. Right. So now these guys started attacking government buildings.

They attacked the foreign ministry. They attacked the Central Police Station. Military police headquarters are taken over. And they free guys from the jails, including the colonel who had been arrested when he went to Melissa DAG's house, who started, uh, led his imperial guards, right? Yeah. To help the insurgents. At the same time, the Shah McQueen are photographed, uh, on a shopping excursion, along the Via Candato in Italy. They're out at the shops.

The Shaw had brought four tennis rackets and a pair of black antelope shoes as well as a bot, sorry, as well as lingerie and two crocodile handbags. She got a hell. He got a dozen summer dresses for his wife. So they're having a good time. Yeah, it's hard to pick your side, like who's side, it's hard to pick who's side to be. It really is. Cause getting, yeah.

Now, coincidentally, Alan Dulles is in Rome. He's just US Embassy. He's about, he's on the same block as the Shah's hotel. Interesting. Now, Kerman has sent a team to take the radio station, radio to Ron. And he's listening to the radio station, hoping to hear it taken over as it eats his lunch. And after a while, the announcer starts speaking more slowly, and then he stops speaking, and then there's dead air, and then there's sounds of men arguing. And then an army officer comes on and says, quote,

the government of Mosadag has been defeated. The new prime minister, Fazola Zahidi is now in office and his imperial majesty is on his way home. So military units converge on Mosadag's home. Loyalist soldiers fortified the house and they fought against the revolution guys. It's not really a revolution. Yeah, it's nice. It's just getting rid of a lefty. It's getting rid of a lefty. You're getting rid of a lefty prime minister, but the Shah is still in charge. whatever. I mean, the Shah still the Shah like, yeah, I'm going to go to the shot. Anyway, so Kermit goes into the

CIA safe house, where general Zahidi is hidden. He's in the basement and he's in his underwear when he's told he's the new prime minister. He was just, he was probably just sleeping or something. They were just walking around like, I don't know. What do you do? I go nude. But still to be like, Hey, you're the new prime minute, huh? Oh, I should put on pants. That's awesome.

Do you have prime minister pants? Yeah. An army general brought a tank and a cheering crowd of royalists supporters. And the Jibulant crowd hugs as a heady and they lift him up high and they carry him out. He's like Rudy. The tank drives to radio Tehran. It's the first place they go. And as a heady makes a speech over the radio.

They had to decide what kind of music should be played before he spoke so they decided to play Marshall music, right? But one occurrent, one occurment's agent is there and he had brought a record from the embassy. So he's like, this will work and a technician puts it on. And the first song that goes over the radio at Tehran for the new Prime Minister is the Star Spangled Banner. Nice. is the star spangled banner. Nice. BAM!

We're, uh, we have the Heaty and studio. We're about to go with our new leader. We're gonna have a one-on-one interview with him in a second right now. But before we do, we wanna play, uh, the, so is the Heaty's favorite song. Subbie says, as always, reminded him of his, a ran as we're on the precipice of a beautiful revolution.

We might have actually been at the end of this. Fantastic rainbow. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, give it up for this song. Oh, say never mind. We're actually just gonna go right to Zahidi. We'll probably just go right to him. I meant quickly another anonymous tune replaced it. They just threw something else on.

Right. So Zahidi goes. Hello, mother. Hello, father, much better. Here I am. This is better. Camp Grinada. I'd like to just speak to the people. Hold on. Things are good here. Are you sure? Never, bad. Please hurry. So Zahidi goes on and declares himself, quote, the lawful prime minister by the Shah's order, which, which Kermit, Kermit has those documents that has basically say as much, right? Yes. But the, but the, what's the call?

The Moschle has, has there the ones who voted him prime minister. I don't know that the Shah is the power. I'm not sure how it works, but remember, they took his power away, except for having control of the military. Right. And now, and while they're doing this, the firefight is still going on at Moa Sadeg's house.

He's sitting in his bedroom, and his window has been covered by a steel plate and his advisors are telling me he has to flee, but he's refusing to flee. They had three tanks on his side and the armed forces on the other side have 24 tanks and two. Eight times as many American American made Sherman tanks eight times as many. You know, I got them. I got them. You're good. I trust you. You're good at math. I don't know that. That's fine. People to know that I didn't know that before the show that that was coming my way. Yeah. No, you put it together. It was crazy. Three times eight. 24 at 7 p.m. Mohl Sadeg ordered his forces to cease firing. He and 15 colleagues went over the wall and fled, but later on they surrendered, and Mohl Sadeg was held in military prison for 10 weeks. In Rome, the Shaw is having dinner when he gets a wire about the coup.

First he is totally in disbelief, just completely shocked. And then he jumps up and said, quote, I knew it, I knew it. They love me. What? What's happening? He is so fucking stupid. How does he that he think the coup happened due to popular support of what him and his monarchy? Because it's what he said in the Kermit releases. I don't know if it's what he said in the Kermit, but he just thinks everyone's on his side.

I don't know if it's what he said in the coverage, but he just thinks everyone's on his side. That is an insane reaction to finding out that your government has been overthrown. Well, but it's not, it's his opposition. Yes, but okay, to find out that there's been like a violent coup to some extent, and to be like, I knew it to like Sally field that moment is crazy. They like me. They really like me. Hand me some of those shoes.

He told reporters, quote, Mo said, DeG is an evil man who wanted only one thing out of life, power at all costs. To accomplish this, he was willing to sacrifice the Iranian people and he almost succeeded. Thank God my people finally understood him. Wow. Obviously, the opposite of reality, most of it was the popular leader and everybody hates the shot. Well, it was just going to say what we just were talking about before where it's like, yep, that's what that's your thing. Yep. About 300 people had died in the fighting.

Half of them were at Mo Sedags home, so the major battle occurred in his house. Some civilian victims were found with CIA money in their pockets. CIA's, what, I mean, the CIA just has like CIA bucks, or it's just that kind of thing. They have like, Chris Punderdoller bills. Yeah, right. You know, it's like that obvious type thing.

Mossadeg is charged with treason for having resisted the Shah's dismissal order and inciting an armed insurrection. Moll Sa'deg quote, my only crime is that I nationalized the Iranian oil industry and removed from this land the network of colonialism and the political and economic influence of the greatest empire on earth. As well as he was trying to break apart the military, right? I mean, isn't that really where...

Well, he had asked to take for the shot a handover control of the military. Right, but then to, yes, right. So he basically is saying, my only crime is just saying fuck you to collode impairs. Yeah. Yeah. He is found guilty by a military tribunal. He serves three years in prison and then would be under house arrest for 11 years until his death. He was depressed. He was demoralized.

He mourned the collapse of his dreams for Iran. But he kept busy during that time. He taught farm workers how to use modern equipment and he created a method of increasing sugar beet production. He read medical texts and he boiled roots to make malaria medicine to treat villagers. Moe Sedag had bleeding ulcers and he eventually got throat cancer and he died on March 5th, 1967 to 85 years old. No public funeral or expression of mourning was permitted. The Shah refused his final request to be buried in the main Tehran cemetery alongside his supporters, and instead he was buried under his house. Iran's oil industry, he was denationalized and handed over to foreign corporations. 40% of the spoils now went to American oil producers, including Gulf

Texaco mobile standard oil. Iran's democracy was dismantled. Members of the opposition parties and the press were rounded up or driven underground. With the CIA's strong encouragement, the Shah unleashed his secret police to root out subversion. With the CIA, his trained security forces tracked down over 4,000 to DAH party members between 1953 and 1957. They were whipped, beaten, and hung from hooks. Agents broke their fingers and smashed chairs over their heads. At least 11 people died during the torture, most from brain hammerages and dozens were executed.

Shah Muhammad Aureza Palavi was driven into exile in 1979 by a popular revolt led by Islamic officials. The only oppositional sector that was left in Iranian society and not crushed by the Shah. The Shah died in Cairo the next year. Alan Dulles would look back on the coup as one of the two greatest triumphs of his CIA career. President Eisenhower awarded Kermit the National Security Medal for Operation Ajax. He was offered the opportunity to work

on the Guatemala coup the next year, but he declined. I've got a new coup. I'd love to get your eye. Kermit left the CIA in 1958 and joined Gulf oil, where he took charge of the company's relations with foreign governments, including Iran. Later he became an international consultant representing the Shah and serving as a middleman for weapons, manufacturers, doing business with Iran. Kermit wrote the counter coup,

the struggle for the control of Iran, published in 1979, he died in 2000, still considering August 1953 to have been the highlight of his life. Until this dying day, he believed the coup he had engineered was right and necessary. Operation Ajax was the CIA's first successful overthrow of foreign government. The Shaw State in power until 1979. CIA agent Samuel Halpern quote, for an operation of last 25 years is not so bad. It fell apart.

Every operation cannot go on forever. So this was like the first, the very first like, obviously we said, the very first like CIA overthrow like this, which we've now done in so many fucking places. And you'll see it in like, you know, when, when Bolivia has a socialist government, as it does know, and then there's a crazy overthrow that even people like Bernie Sanders aren't coming out and saying they're against and Elizabeth Warren says it's good.

You know, those people were psychopaths and the socialist took back control of Bolivia, but that's all CIA shit. It's always fucking CIA shit. You do not get to have a leftist government without there being intense, insane pressure from every fucking aspect. They are spreading money to everybody's fucking hand who will do you damage. That's what we do.

And even if you, even if you are able to get away from it and, and, and keep, keep hold, they're always lurking. It's like a stalker. Like they are always, huh? It never goes away. Yeah, they was always ready to counts. That's why Castro is amazing. Yeah. For no Castro is fucking amazing and there's a really good podcast if you've

ever called it called the blowback podcast and they did 10 or 12 episodes on Cuba. 10 or 12 episodes on Cuba. And the reason they said in there that Castra was able to survive was that he didn't have a palace. He didn't have a residence. Castra was always in revolutionary mode, constantly moving from place to place. And that's probably why they never figured out how to kill them or to take them out. But again, these are anytime you have a leftist takeover,

like most of the day, start the clock. Yeah. Because they're coming. You know, they're always coming. Look at the places that's happened. They just get the list is fucking, you know, Guatemala. And it just it goes on and on. It's endless. The lists are endless. And even in, you know, you could be like, you know, recent times, right? Honduras. Oh, yeah, under Obama, that's a CA one. They're all they're all fucking

CA ones. They're always CIA ones We we will obliterate them in the least like it's a fucking which is what we want. We want chaos because what about Libya?
