Iran and Red and Black Colonization
[2] In January 1978, in an attempt to reduce religious opposition inciting people against the Shah, the Iranian newspaper Ettela'at published an article entitled "Iran and Red and Black Colonization" which attacked Ruhollah Khomeini.
In that time he attempted to execute the plans of red and black colonialism, by revolting against land reform, against the emancipation of women and the nationalization of the forests, thereby costing the lives of innocent people.
A few weeks before the revolt it became known in Tehran that an Arab adventurer by the name of Mohammad Tofigh al-Gheisi had been apprehended with ten million Rial in cash, being carried in his briefcase.
The day after the shootings, people gathered to protest and to commemorate the deaths in many Iranian cities including: Tabriz, Yazd, Isfahan, Shiraz, Jahrom, and Ahwaz.
The initiation of the Shah and People revolution on January 26, 1962, saw the unification of red and black colonial powers against Iran, each apparently having specific plans and designs in our country.
After the ominous June 5th unrest, orchestrated to stop and undermine the shining Shah and People revolution, initially left those studying the incident in strange confusion.
On the other hand, the large landowners, who had long plundered millions of Iranian peasants, supported the Tudeh Party agents and other bankrupt political figures in hopes of overturning the program and reverting to the former status quo.
They believed that the clergy's opposition, highly respected in Iranian society, could complicate the revolutionary program and lead, as one large landowner thought, to peasants returning the lands as 'usurped.'
The landowners, who had always had gendarmes, ministers, religious eulogists, and thugs at their disposal to maintain their rule, faced the clergy's indifference and the resulting difficulty in creating opposition against the revolution.
With prominent clerics unwilling to cooperate, they sought to find a 'cleric' who was adventurous, unfaithful, and subservient to colonial centers, especially one who was ambitious, to serve their purposes, and they easily found such a person.
A man whose past was shrouded in mystery, tied to the most conservative and regressive elements of colonialism, and despite having special backing, had not been able to attain a position among the country's esteemed clergy, was seeking an opportunity to insert himself into political affairs and gain notoriety at any price.
What is certain is that his notoriety as the instigator of the June 5th turmoil has remained in everyone's memory - the man who committed himself against Iran's revolution and, to further the objectives of red and black colonialism, aligned with specific and recognized agents against land distribution, women's freedom, and the nationalization of forests.
A few days before the incident, a statement was revealed in Tehran disclosing that an Arab adventurer named 'Mohammed Tawfik al-Qaisi' had been arrested at Mehrabad Airport with a suitcase containing 10 million Rials in cash, intended to be placed at the disposal of specific individuals.
A few days after the incident, the then-prime minister revealed in a press conference: 'It is clear to us that money was coming from abroad, reaching the hands of individuals, and being distributed among various factions to implement wicked plans.'
Fortunately, Iran's revolution prevailed, and the last resistance of large landowners and Tudeh Party agents was crushed, paving the way for progress, excellence, and the implementation of the principles of social justice.
