The Iranian Revolution: From Disco Balls to Death Squads
Share
By Peregrine Nash
Welcome to the Revolution
Picture 1979 Iran: a land of disco clubs, women engineers, and modernity, hijacked by beardy fanatics who turned it into a medieval nightmare. The media will blabber about “colonialism” and “Western interference,” but skip how the revolution turned women into second-class citizens, gays into hunted targets, Christians into fugitives, and minorities into state punching bags.
The same far-left clowns who say hijabs are “empowering” in Brooklyn would get their eyeballs scooped out in Tehran. This isn’t dusty history. It’s a mirror showing today’s world, where leftists cheer regimes that treat women like property and minorities like vermin. Buckle up. We’re diving deep, from how the revolution started to the terror it unleashed, to how the “Free Palestine” screams are a dangerous cover for genocide.
How It All Started: The Fall of the Peacock Throne
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, was no saint. Sure, his secret police made the KGB look cuddly and dissent got you disappeared. But the man tried to drag Iran into modernity: roads, schools, women voting and working, universities booming. Tehran in the 70s? A sparkling New York City of the Middle East with disco balls, jazz, and art galleries.
Enter chaos: Theocrats terrified of progress, Marxists craving Soviet cash, and clueless Western leftists who cheered a revolution they barely understood, all teaming up to toss the Shah. Their prize? Theocratic dictatorship led by Khomeini, who made the Shah’s iron grip look like a kitten’s paw.
The leftists celebrated the fall of a “tyrant” while ignoring the massacre of intellectuals, women, gays, and minorities who paid for their ideological blindness. The Shah’s modernization vanished overnight as Iran plunged into darkness and terror.
The Revolution Unleashed: Beards, Bullets, and Blood
The Shah fled. Khomeini strutted back like a medieval overlord. Women were ordered to veil or face lashes. Music? Dancing? Free speech? Gone faster than your Twitter feed after a woke meltdown.
Gays were hunted and hanged. Christians and Jews silenced or exiled. Minorities targeted for extinction. Iran turned into a prison patrolled by fanatics with whips and guns. The revolution’s PR was “freedom”, the reality was torture, mass graves, and public executions.
Western leftists who cheered? Many ended up as victims. The media romanticized it then bailed, leaving Iran to rot under a regime that made Saddam look humane. And the West? They were busy making oil deals while women were beaten in the streets. Hypocrisy on steroids.
Life Under the Mullahs: The Price of Submission
Today, Iran is a horror story. Morality police terrorize women for showing hair or jeans. Gays? Officially non-existent but actually executed. Christians worship in fear, pastors jailed, minorities spied on and murdered.
Meanwhile, Iran’s ruling class vacations in Paris and sends their kids to Swiss boarding schools. Hypocrites preaching anti-Western hatred while living Western luxuries.
Iran exports terror billions to Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, whose sole mission is death and destruction, especially targeting Jews and Americans. The left cries about “colonialism” while ignoring Tehran’s global terror empire.
The Far-Left’s Hypocrisy: Free Palestine, But Ignore Iran’s Crimes
“From the river to the sea” isn’t a peace chant, it’s a genocidal slogan. The far-left parrots it, oblivious they’re echoing Iran’s terror puppets.
Hamas? Funded by Tehran. Rockets? Paid for by mullahs. Tunnels? Dug with blood money. Palestinians? Collateral damage in Iran’s murderous game.
Meanwhile, Israel’s democracy boasts Arab judges, lawmakers, doctors, and LGBTQ marches. Women lead business and politics. But the left ignores these inconvenient facts, because hating America and Israel is on trend.
The Real Face of Resistance: Women, Gays, and Minorities in Iran Today
The real heroes? Not college kids sipping soy lattes protesting imagined microaggressions. It’s Iranian women risking death by going unveiled, underground Christian pastors preaching in secret, gay Iranians living in terror, and Kurds refusing to bow.
These brave souls embody freedom MAGA supports, standing against evil, not enabling it.
A History of Palestine: And the Dangerous Lie of ‘Occupation’
No independent Palestine ever existed. The land was ruled by empires. Jews and Arabs lived together, Jews legally buying land and building cities. The UN’s 1947 two-state plan? Jews said yes, Arabs said no, and started a war.
Since then, Israel fought to survive, took in refugees, built a democracy. Arabs who stayed became citizens with rights Palestinians in Gaza under Hamas only dream of.
Gaza is ruled by Iran’s terror puppet: no free press, no women’s or gay rights, just rockets, tunnels, and hate. The left cheers this “Free Palestine” lie that really means “Destroy Israel.”
Why We Must Smash the Lies
The Iranian Revolution wasn’t liberation. “Free Palestine” isn’t peace. Both are masks for tyranny and murder.
The left’s selective outrage enables evil. Patriots see through it. We stand with the real oppressed and refuse to back down.
Fly that flag. Speak that truth. Let freedom roar. ~
