A fake leader, a fake God, and a coward King.

It was in the middle of a very bitter winter. Everything, unusually seemed somehow strange to me as a seven year old boy. The atomosphere was so obscure and complicated , as sad that I really was not able to feel any rationality through my instinctive and childish observation for the obviously excessive rapture among the people. They were bobbling in a way as if they were trying to over come  gravity and  floated on the surface of their rapturous moments. As a quiet and somewhat  aloof little boy, I really was not that successful in joining that ambiguous celebration which was supposed to welcome somethings which instinctively seemed to me much more ambiguous  than  the  celebration itself.

After the words, ‘independence’ and ‘freedom’ which I had already learnt from my father as my vocal and simple dictionary. The word, ” leader” was the next which I tried   to learn and add  to my little vocabulary. Therefore I needed to be  thought about that word by my father. So, he said to me: ” People are wating for the leader who is due to arrive, he is a very nice man, he is coming as the herald of independence and freedom,he is coming to kick the devil out of our houses and to bless our lives.This leader is due to arrive as an angel who is going to show us the right paths, ending in prosperity and salvation.” The only thing which I really realised from my father’s long and enthusiastic lecture  was that the leader was to be a great and benevolent person with good wishes for every body. Due to my further request on the word, “leader” I came up with this question which actually popped up from my imaginative mind: ” is a leader an invincible man?” my father, with no hesitation, replied: “yes my dear son, a leader is an invincible man” all of a sudden my mind dragged me back to a not so far past, in which, I had been replied by my father to a very similar question which in fact was an other final imaginary product of my inquisitive mind as I was listening to my father’s lecture about the SHAH ( king) as we were standing on the bank of a  surging river. The question was this: ” Can any one swim in this river?” my father replied: ” No one, but the Shah”

Now, Thirty years has passed from that bitter winter, in which Iranians were bobbling to welcome a ” leader” who was supposed to be the guiding angel and takes a nation to the paradise; a leader who was supposed to be the spiritual architect of a utopia in which the equality and justice would be accomplished under the God’s supervision; a leader who was supposed to be the purger of our so called obscene souls and to be the divine guide to the decency and honour. Now, Thirty years after that bitter winter that definitely can be called as the most bitter winter in the whole history of this unfortunate country, we are feeling desperate and somehow reckless due to the heavy and destructive blows which we have been receiving under a hegemonic ruling machine which was founded by a so called theocrat who was in fact just a dogmatic, illiterate, and mentally impaired man who was not even aware of what he was doing in the name of God and goodness. Nowadays, we are stuck in an infertile situation in which no grain of hope can be immune from abortion and fruitlessness; nowadays we are feeling arid and deserted; nowadays we are painfully regretting the gone with the wind opportunities which each of those could have been used as a basic watershed to set the route-planning process in a dynamic and even ground, if we had not been so infatuated with the promised utopia by a daydreamer alien who was not able even to speak the sweet language of Farsi in a proper manner. Nowadays we are wandered somewhere between the Hell and Paradise; while we are undeserved and ungrateful owners of a real Paradise with the beautiful and splendid name of IRAN.

Ayatollah Khomeini, who was entitled as the Imam of the poor and weak people as soon as he entered Iran in 1979 in a frenetic atmosphere, was the man who had come to save us from obscenity and oppression; the man who had come to Iran to set off a resurrection and invite the God to Iran! He began to rant from the very first moment of his arrival in an absolutely rambling language. He was so critical of the past rulers and kings( who he used to call them dictators) as if he himself was the pure love and affection, coming directly from the presence of God just for shedding the divine light on Iranians and bestowing them the eternal lives in order to make them the first perpetuated nation in the history of humankind on the earth! In a series of chained lectures, (which all of them were given in a rambling manner and with no relevant cohesion) he promised to make a very prefect material life for the people, especially for the poor ones; he promised them to share the great wealth of the country between all of them in the most possible meticulous way of justice and indiscrimination. Due to this issue, he told the people in particular: ” we will make everything free! You do not have to pay for the Gas, Electricity, water, and even MEAT and BREAD any more!!!” he kept rambling on ,further to his numerous promises which all of them were of a worldly and materialistic nature, of which naturally could be pleasant and interesting for the masses of people who most of them had been living in poverty and deprivation till that time.

Therefore, an intricate psychological factor which in fact was the product of the minds of malicious inner circles, was the main cause of KHOMEINI,s succeeding words to gather people about himself. It is obvious that a historically great nation that had been desperately trying to retrieve and getting to a better situation, (but had not been successful in doing so), is submissively ready to join any kind of movement which can give it a chance of being involved in issues which might lead it at least to a relatively more desirable imaginations for the future. So, the smart and greedy cronies around Khomeini , practically , and opportunistically made the most out of the people’s receptiveness morale that amazingly were growing as a vigorous surge towards Khomeini’s epic lectures. HASHEMI RAFSANJANI, this mysterious figure who has been in fact the master mind of the revolution and all the events in the recent history of this country, was the man who with his incredible intelligence used the illiterate but popular Khomeini by that time, as a tool to establish a real Islamic dictatorship.

Thereafter, under the Rafsanjani’s absolute influence over all the current issues, Khomeini’s promises to the people were sophisiticatedly diverted into a very amazing and thoughtful way, in which psychological methods, alongside with the religious dogmas, were meant to put the khomeini’s promises in a conditional ground in order to give a halt to the vigorously growing demands for the welfare state and a better social life between the people which had already begun due to the invigorating lectures given by Khomeini; therefore Khomeini in his later lectures put the necessity of undergoing a basic moral purification as an essential priority in. He said to the people who had become very optimistic about their future lives : ” you have been depraved, your morality has been contaminated, your virtue has been looted!! You are in need of virtue and spirituality; you have been living an obscene life! We have to fix your virtue and spirituality at first; we have to purge your souls” And thus, the virtue and spirituality were marked out as the essential preconditions which necessarily had to be undertaken ,prior to any kind of demand for the material and worldly life!

Thereafter, Khomeini as the the most effective tool in the hands of Rafsanjani and his astute cronies, was knowingly and unknowingly the executive of destructive plans which were meant to keep the people interested and amused with the moral issues which, were based on the religion- religious beliefs, in order to divert the certain demand for a certain life into a so called virtuous and divine demand .He was in fact the most harmful man for the masses of people who had enormously trusted him as a man of justice and good wishes. He betrayed them by using the religion and morality to put them in uncertain and delirious ways of recognition and approaching the certain goals , consistent with their certain existence. So to speak, he, like the other malicious leaders in the history, used the masses as the driving force in the process of establishing and formation of power and hegemony. As a matter of course, it is obvious that no virtue and morality can be achieved by a human society that is suffering from the poverty and is deprived of having a relatively comfortable life. I mean, the basic needs simply are the initial factors which must be taken into an exhaustive consideration when it comes to the aim of making a human society promoted in moral and social values, as it is not so difficult to understand that the people who are frustrated with their labouring lives, never, ever can think of moralities or getting involved in a virtuous challenge.

Thus, Khomeini, as the most effective figure in the process of imparting the confusing conceptions of life via the sophisticatedly prepared philosophy by the RAFSANJANI and his cronies , was undoubtedly the man who in fact abused the God, goodness, virtue, humanity, and all the good adjectives; he did so to establish the reign of God! The unknown and strange God who is the God of poorness and humiliation! The God who believes in poverty and deprivation as the elevating factors in the human life!! The God who gives the absolute authority to his so called spiritual Representatives on earth to confine the people within their houses just to prevent them of being corrupted!! Yes, in other word, Khomeini was the inventor of a very awkward, rough, relentless, and graceless God who is rather a traitor Shepherd than a merciful and great God! To my knowledge, God is just knowledge, wisdom, love, and affection; adding to this ( that no reign of wisdom and love can yield to nothing but tolerance, awareness, realization, mercifulness, rationality, and a gradual progress in minds and souls), I have no reason not to say that Ayatollah Khomeini was in fact a master of Sophism who did not have any real knowledge on the thought of divinity and religion. So, eventually, as the so called leader of Islamic revolution, he assigned a fake God with a load of satanic disciples to reign over Iranian people before his death.

Now, Thirty years after that bitter winter, Khomeini’s inheritors have created an unbelievably intricate mental disorderliness for the Iranian people, in which no word of reasoning and pursuing can go together to cause a motive and expressing a notion. So to speak, Khomeini, his fake God, and his satanic disciples have been absolutely successful in applying their intimidating philosophy to the process of manipulating and opiating the people. Now, thirty years after that bitter winter, freedom is decapitated ; a great and meritorious nation has been disgraced and the human values has been skewed. Now, Thirty years after that bitter winter, I am Thirty Seven years old, laden with sorrow, pain, and regret; during all these years, I have been trying to understand why that coward SHAH(king) (who used to be my father’s hero), had not been able to swim on that dangerous river, or why that invincible leader (who according to my father was to be a man of God and justice,and of course my virtuous leader ) did such a nasty treason to a hopeful nation?
