In 1953, Iran had a democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, who committed what, in the eyes of the British Empire and the United States, was an unforgivable sin: he nationalized Iranâs oil industry.
For decades, British Petroleum (then the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company) had extracted Iranâs wealth, leaving the Iranian people with little to show for it. Mossadeghâs move was a bid for sovereignty, dignity, and the right of a nation to control its own resources. The response from the so-called âfree worldâ was swift and brutal: a joint CIA-MI6 operation, code-named Operation Ajax, orchestrated a coup to overthrow Mossadegh, using black propaganda, bribed politicians, manufactured riots, (2/11)
and false flag attacks to create chaos and justify intervention. Hundreds died in the streets of Tehran as the Shahâan autocratic monarchâwas reinstalled with #American and British backing.
This single act of imperial violence shattered Iranâs democracy and set the stage for everything that followed: decades of dictatorship under the authoritarian Shah, the rise of the secret police (trained and armed by the CIA), the deepening of anti-Western sentiment, and ultimately the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Itâs not a stretch to say that the roots of todayâs tensions, the cycles of violence, and the specter of war all trace back to this original sin. The aftershocks of that coup are (4/11)
still being felt, not only in Iran, but across the entire Middle East.
Yet, in the American imagination, #history often starts with the hostage crisis, or with the latest missile launch, or with the rhetoric of ârogue states.â Weâre taught to see Iran as an irrational enemy, a threat to âourâ interests, never as a nation whose modern history was violently derailed by foreign powers seeking oil and geopolitical dominance. The coup became a blueprint for U.S. and British interventions (5/11)
around the world, fueling a legacy of distrust, blowback, and endless war.
This is not ancient #history. The U.S. government only formally admitted its role in the coup in 2013, after decades of denial and the destruction of key documents. The British governmentâs involvement was only acknowledged even more recently. The details are staggering: CIA operatives posing as communists bombing mosques to stir up religious opposition, paying mobsters to riot in the streets, and bribing editors (6/11)
to print fake news-long before âfake newsâ became a household phrase.
So when Americans beat the drums of war with Iran, or wonder aloud âwhy do they hate us?â, we have to reckon with the fact that the U.S. and U.K. destroyed Iranâs best chance at democracy for the sake of oil profits and imperial power.
Imagine if a foreign power overthrew your #government, installed a dictator, and then lectured you for decades about freedom and democracy. Imagine if, every time you tried to chart your own course, you were met with sanctions, threats, and military intervention.
The story of Iran is not unique. Itâs a microcosm of the broader pattern of Western interventionism: democracy is celebrated only when it aligns with the interests of empire. When democracy threatens those interestsâwhen a nation dares to control its own resources, or refuses to play by the rules of the global orderâit is crushed, and the consequences are borne by ordinary people for generations.
This is not about excusing the crimes or authoritarianism of the Iranian regime. Itâs about understanding the context that gave rise to it, and the role that Western powers played in destroying the possibility of a different, more peaceful future. Itâs about recognizing that the seeds of todayâs conflicts were planted by yesterdayâs coups, sanctions, and covert operations.
If we truly want peace, if we want to avoid another catastrophic war, the first step is #honesty. We have to confront our own history, acknowledge the violence committed in our name, and reject the amnesia that allows us to repeat the same mistakes over and over. Until we do, every new crisis will be haunted by the ghosts of 1953âand the world will continue to pay the price for our refusal to learn from the past.

In âThe Red Devilâ a play written by Antoine Rault there is a conversation between Colbert (Minister of Finance under Louis XIV) and Mazarin. The contents of this exchange have gone into the annals of history > Colbert: âWhen trying to find money, there is always a moment when messing about is no longer enough. Please, Lord High Treasurer, tell me how one can manage to spend more when already up to oneâs neck in debtâŠâ -Mazarin: âWhen you are a simple mortal, of course, and swamped in debt, you are sent to prison but the State⊠well the State is a different kettle of fish. The State cannot be thrown in prison. And so the debt increases! Every State does that.â Colbert: âOh really? Is that what you think? However, we need money and how can you find any when youâve already devised every imaginable tax?â -Mazarin: âWe create othersâ. Colbert: âWe canât tax the poor more than we do already.â -Mazarin: âYes, thatâs true.â Colbert: «So, what about the rich?» -Mazarin: «We canât tax the rich either. They would stop spending. A rich person who spends feeds hundreds of poor people». Colbert: âSo, what should we do?â -Mazarin: âColbert, your reasoning is completely illogical! Lots of people are neither one thing nor the other, neither poor, nor rich⊠French people work in the hope of becoming rich but dreading being poor! Those are the people we should be taxing, more and more! They are the ones! The more you take from them, the more they work to make up for it⊠That well never runs dry.â

Quoting Michael Sfard, a lawyer specializing in human rights law and the laws of war, on why Israel's actions in #Gaza cannot be erased by a war with #Iran, and why attention must remain focused on Gaza:
Sfard says that many Israelis are caught up in nationalistic fervor, encouraged by media that amplifies pro-war voices. There's a danger that the government will exploit a potential conflict with Iran to intensify its actions in Gaza, possibly leading to further ethnic cleansing and mass killings. The destruction in Gaza is indefensible and potentially constitutes war crimes, with future generations bearing the burden of these actions.
[âŠ] "No war with Iran will erase our crimes in Gaza. Over the weekend, a shocking article by Nir Hasson, Yarden Michaeli, and Avi Sharf was published here about the destruction of Gaza. Read it. Look at the aerial photographs. This is us, the Israeli people of the 21st century, erasing cities, destroying towns, crushing villages. There is no military explanation that can even come close to justifying this destruction, which from a legal standpoint is a clear crime. And that's before we talk about starvation and the use of humanitarian aid to carry out transfer. Generations of Israelis will have to live with the mark of Cain that we have branded ourselves with, in actions that in the worst case are crimes against humanity and war crimes, and in the even worse case accumulate to the suspicion of genocide."
More on this: Iran strikes ease pressure on Israel to end Gaza starvation
#Israel's attack on #Iran has slowed diplomatic efforts to halt the war in #Gaza. Food shipments and distribution in Gaza were halted, and a French-Saudi summit aimed at wider recognition of a Palestinian state was postponed. The focus shifted from Gaza to Iran, impacting international attention and aid delivery.
According to Palestinian reports, 26 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours. Gazans told #Haaretz that attacks have escalated following the Israeli attacks in #Iran. Eyewitnesses from #Jabalia and Al-Marazi refugee camps report heavy fire on civilians near aid distribution points. A resident stated the army fired indiscriminately at people seeking food, and drones fired on the crowds. Rescue services struggled to reach incident sites due to the danger.
Remember kids, if someone you don't know approaches you at a protest and tries to get you to commit a violent act, that's not a protestor. That's a cop.
There are two simple rules that nullify any state sponsored agent provocateur instantly: 1. Sit down. 2. Point and chant "cop".

So, it was clear the ones starting the "riots" were cops. đ

I'm working on a new monthly budget spreadsheet and I'm doing it in #Gnumeric as opposed to #LibreOffice #Calc and you know what?
Gnumeric is pretty damn good! Familiar UI. Familiar formulas.
Only thing I don't like is that I have to use dark mode because of my eyes and that worksheet is just too bright! But nothing that some cell formatting can't take care of.
Saved it out and moved to the appropriate place to use as a template so now any new projects will use the dark mode template I created.
I highly encourage you to give Gnumeric a try. LibreOffice Calc isn't the only alternative Microsoft Excel app out there!
I've used gnumeric for a couple of decades. I use it for my budget and financial tracking as well. I used it for modeling my retirement before I retired, and now I use it for executing that plan. It's not an office suite so doesn't get press, but it does the job reliably. BTW, check out abiword.
I've never been a markdown fan. I did do absolutely everything in LaTex for a number of years. These days everything I write is for myself or my wife, so I just use simple text 99% of the time. I only keep abiword around in case I need to read files I wrote over 2 decades ago or something.
Yeah I switched from LaTeX to Markdown. I like the fact that I can effectively write once and easily convert it to just about anything.
Of course if I need embedded tables and figures and the like than I'd probably revert back to LaTeX but 99.9% of the stuff I write today needs none of that.
Israel's bellicose warmongering over Iran's nuclear program is of course nothing new.

If I may also express a wish...I wish that all Islamo-fascists of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the terrorist mullah regime would go to paradise...and quickly.
Complain to Hamas. They started this nonsense and they won't stop. Hamas and its supporters in Tehran and Beirut bear responsibility for every casualty on both sides.
Your Hamas friends slaughtered 1,600 people in cold blood. Your beloved mullah regime supports murderers, wants to destroy Israel, supplies weapons to Russia, hangs gay men from cranes, and kills little girls because they don't wear headscarves. I would refrain from making accusations. Typical far-left hubris.

5 May 2025 #travellers #stonehenge #convoy A sequence of photographs covering event that became known as 'Battle of the Beanfield' 1st June 1985.
At a meeting of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), in early 1985, it was resolved to obtain a High Court Injunction preventing the annual gathering at Stonehenge. This was the device to be used to justify the attack at the "Battle of the Beanfield" on the 1st June in Hampshire. Well it wasn't a battle really.
It was an ambush.
It was a magnificent convoy stretching and snaking its way over the Wiltshire Downs, as far as you could see in either direction. It was a warm Saturday afternoon as we drove through villages, people stood outside their garden gates, smiling and waving at us. A carnival atmosphere with little evidence of the 'local opposition' that we had been lead to believe was one of the reasons for obtaining the court orders. A police helicopter watched overhead but there was little other sign of trouble until........
Seven miles from Stonehenge (the exclusion order was for four and a half miles), just short of the A303 and the Hampshire / Wiltshire border, two lorry loads of gravel where tipped across the road. Up to this point, no laws had been broken. I got out of my truck to take photographs when I first saw some twenty policemen running down the convoy ahead of me smashing windscreens without warning and 'arresting' / assaulting the occupants, dragging them out through the windscreens broken glass.
I and others who saw this were fearful of the level of violence used by the police in making arrests. Clearly we were in for a beating, again! Running back to our vehicles, we drove through a hedge in to the adjacent field.
The scale of the police operation was becoming obvious. The same level of violence had been applied to the rear of the convoy. Large numbers of police in many lines deep could be seen on the road forming up.
From then on, the situation grew more tense. More police reinforcements were brought up wearing one-piece blue overalls - without numbers!, 'Nato-style' helmets with visors and both full length perspex shields and circular black plastic shields. A 'stand-off' situation developed with sporadic outbreaks of violence.
Working with the festival welfare agencies, I was directed to a number of head injuries that has resulted from the initial conflict on the road. All of these injuries were truncheon wounds to the back of the head and some people were quite distressed. I was shown one man, about 20 years old who was semi-conscious with yet another head wound. I was fearful of him dying. An ambulance was called and I assisted the attendant and helped convey the casualty through police lines. The ambulance crew were initially apprehensive about their safety but assurances were given.
In between the taking of photographs, the copious first aid and concerns for my family and friends, I attempted to start negotiations and set up lines of communications with the middle-ranking 'line' officers. There was no 'middle ground' to be found, so, with others I organised a meeting with Assistant Chief Constable Lional Grundy. He was in charge of the overall operation. It was early evening before we were able to meet him. The tone of the meeting was 'do what your told or else!' He reiterated that people should be leave their vehicle and be arrested.
Because of the fear of what that might entail (after viewing the violence earlier in the day), those I met with were reticent about this.
Police in full kit were now massed in large numbers and obviously getting ready to charge. It turns out that police had been arresting a lot of people around Stonehenge earlier in the afternoon. At 7.00pm, Grundy had sixteen hundred policemen from six counties, Ministry of Defence police and some believe, army officers in police uniforms!!!
They charged.
The scenes that followed were recorded by media that had evaded the police blockade. The story was international news. 'Dixon of Dock Green' type policing was dead. That which Britain was noted for had now changed to para-military operations against minority groups.
Kim Sabido of ITN, a reporter used to visiting the worlds 'hot spots' did an emotional piece-to-camera as he described the worst police violence that he had ever seen.
âWhat we, the ITN camera crew and myself as a reporter - have seen in the last 30 minutes here in this field has been some of the most brutal police treatment of people that Iâve witnessed in my entire career as a journalist. The number of people who have been hit by policemen, who have been clubbed whilst holding babies in their arms in coaches around this field, is yet to be counted...There must surely be an enquiry after what has happened todayâ. There wasn't.
