Operation Ajax: Iranian Democracy Killed by CIA in 1953
lewrockwell.com — FTA: "While I certainly don ’t condone his socialistic tendencies or his seizure of the oilfields, it is undeniable that by the time of his elevation to prime minister, Mossadeq had the backing of the overwhelming majority of the Iranian population. For the first time in its long history, Iran had a democratically elected leader."

- fritson, on 02/10/2008, -1/+15A great article every American must read and remember!
- tynos, on 02/10/2008, -1/+14Here's more info on Operation Ajax. Proof that the US government is good, doesn't work for big oil companies, and would never do anything to hurt the interests of the people in any country let alone ever carry out a false flag operation:

http://www.law.harvard.edu/students/orgs/hrj/iss17 ... - yellowcakewalk, on 02/10/2008, -1/+9Steven Kinzer has written an excellent book called "All the Shah's Men", detailing the entire sordid story of democracy sacrificed on the altar of oil. This is a classic example of "blowback", the USA and British Petroleum installed the murderous Shah, whose SAVAK terrorized Iran for 25 years, making the takeover by the Ayatollah in 1979 all but invevitable. This is how we got into the situation with Iran that we have today. BTW "our man in Tehran" was no other than Kermit Roosevelt, grandson of T. Roosevelt.

- COINTELPROAgent, on 02/10/2008, -8/+2Get a clue and stop shoutspamming.
- yellowcakewalk, on 02/11/2008, -2/+7Care to respond to Operation Ajax ... but let me guess ... you'd never heard of it and you didn't read the article.
- COINTELPROAgent, on 02/11/2008, -7/+3Lew Rockwell is a Ron Paul Racist. I could give a damn what his opinions are.
- 2trkpony, on 02/11/2008, -1/+3That's why you willfully clicked on the comment section of a DIGG submission authored by him right..Because you don't give a damn what his opinions are. But you care enough to click on the article. And you care enough to 'comment'. Then claim you "don't give a damn what his opinions are." Then why are you here? If you do not care. Or was it another lame self flagellated attempt at name-calling random strangers on the Internet, hiding behind your computer in effort to fool yourself into believing you are somehow a 'better person' so you can 'feel good about yourself' by putting another person down, despite your current situation...
- tynos, on 02/11/2008, -1/+6OK COINTELPROAgent the fact that you took the weakest lamest way out of a debate, the ad-hominem attack, notwithstanding here's some links for you tu usea s a basis for proving Operation Ajax never happened:

Your move.- COINTELPROAgent, on 02/11/2008, -4/+3Why waste my time? You prove that it didn't happen.
Like I said, I could give a flying ***** what the latest conspiracy that racist Llewellyn and his sheeple followers happen to be fapping to at the moment. - tynos, on 02/11/2008, -1/+3Why would I try to prove Operation Ajax didn't happen? I can't. Neither can you.
You say Operation Ajax is a conspiracy theory. Prove it. Prove it didn't happen. Prove Kermit Roosevelt is lying.
Here's some more links for you to use to prove Operation Ajax never happened:

Your move (Still) - 2trkpony, on 02/11/2008, -1/+4"Like I said, I could give a flying ***** what the latest conspiracy that racist Llewellyn and his sheeple followers happen to be fapping to at the moment."
uhhuh.
That is why you take it upon yourself to willfully police these threads. That's why you are here, to comment on articles he authored without ever reading them. Because you don't care. Sheeple followers? Because we don't believe government lies, fabrications and trickery like you devout followers & shill apologists do unquestionably right. lol..."you damn sheep who don't believe my governments 9/11 conspiracy theory!" "it's the damn sheeple and their Operation Ajax conspiracy theory again" Yet you cannot even prove to save your life that Ajax never happened. Get a clue.
You allege you "don't care', yet you cannot resist doing your usual shill B.S. 'hit & run' ad-hom smear within the comment section and then coming back minutes later to mock-comment repeatedly. On an article you claim 'not to care about'. ***** don't make sense.
Why aren't you actually reading the articles and comment section of submissions you DO actually care about? Do you care about anything? other than making it your full-time hobby to "make fun" of people you hate & do not understand. All you read and comment on Digg are articles you call "spam", you dialog with people you hate, and actively search for stories you 'don't care' about. Odd. At least no one can accuse you of not doing anything with your "life"..

- tynos, on 02/11/2008, -2/+5oooh COINTELPROAgent you wow me with your hit and run commentary.
You're such an example of intellectual integrity.
Care to stay and fight and tell us why operation AJAX didn't happen?- COINTELPROAgent, on 02/11/2008, -5/+4Because I'm still learning javascript.
- tynos, on 02/11/2008, -1/+5What?
You said shouting this Operation Ajax DIGG was spamming. Prove it.
Do you deny Operation Ajax happened?- COINTELPROAgent, on 02/11/2008, -3/+3Show me the quote where I said shouting this particular article is spamming. If you can't then you are a liar. I'll wait.
- 2trkpony, on 02/11/2008, -1/+2"Get a clue and stop shoutspamming."

How soon you forget. Hell of a dodge / evade tactic you got going there though.. - COINTELPROAgent, on 02/11/2008, -1/+2Where did I name this article in that comment?
- 2trkpony, on 02/11/2008, -1/+2You didn't explicitly 'name' it, as in "Get a clue and stop shoutspamming this article entitled "Digg - Operation Ajax: Iranian Democracy Killed by CIA in 1953", you specifically implied in your response to a comment above referencing this particular article.
What other article could you possibly be referring to, if it wasn't for this particular submission, within this exact comment section? Did you perhaps paste your 1-liner sound-byte reply into this article by mistake out of confusion when you intended it for another one of your policed Ron Paul / Prison Planet / 9-11 truth "spam" submissions instead?
After all, this is nothing but obvious, overused shill diversion tactic to avoid acknowledging Tynos questions..
"if you can't smear, dodge, obfuscate, then deny again" - tynos, on 02/11/2008, -1/+2OMG are you on zombie mode?
In this thread you said:
"Get a clue and stop shoutspamming."

in response to yellowcakewalk's comment:
"digg" counter is stuck on 15, even after dozens of shouts. Hmmmm.
http://digg.com/world_news/Operation_Ajax_Iranian_ ...
Or are you really going to try to say you weren't referring to this DIGG?? Too funny.
BTW, is that a concession from you that Operation Ajax happened? - 2trkpony, on 02/11/2008, -1/+3Too late. He has already moved onto the next Ron Paul thread. Its a full time job...
- yellowcakewalk, on 02/11/2008, -2/+7Care to respond to Operation Ajax ... but let me guess ... you'd never heard of it and you didn't read the article.
- magoghm, on 02/11/2008, -2/+5Sunday afternoon. I went out shopping with my kids :)
- 2trkpony, on 02/11/2008, -2/+2Cool..I was uninstalling Vista to replace with XP, modifying guitars, drinking beer, baking homemade pizza & brownies with the GF ":-) in between Digg commentary on the main computer of course..lol. Tomorrow is Monday..*ugh* ((sigh))
- COINTELPROAgent, on 02/10/2008, -8/+2Get a clue and stop shoutspamming.
- COINTELPROAgent, on 02/11/2008, -6/+2Sigh. So many crybabies, so little time...
- tynos, on 02/11/2008, -1/+3Sigh. So many shills so many ad-hominems so little evidence, so little logic. They really do have it rough, tying to act as though their comments mean anything.
That's OK COINTELPROAgent, one day you'll learn the art of coherent credible argumentation and maybe you'll learn how to say things in such a way as to convince someone of your argument (if you ever form one)
But until that time it would be remiss of me not to try to help you learn how to think properly.
So here's a couple links to help get you started:

http://www.trinitysem.edu/Student/LessonInstructio ... - tynos, on 02/11/2008, -1/+3BTW COINTELPROAgen feel free to show us how Operation Ajax never happened.
I know you've been chomping at the bit to to show us how Operation Ajax never happened. Well now's the time to let loose.

Your move. (grabbing popcorn) - tynos, on 02/11/2008, -0/+3For anybody who is new to the history of government sponsored false flag terror attacks, a good place to start is the movie Terrorstorm
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6885277369 ...
It's a little over 2 hours but it's worth the watch.
After you watch it, go out and research every claim made in the movie. - ashnbell, on 02/11/2008, -0/+4"If America is ever to have even remotely cordial relations with Iran, we must accept responsibility for the terrible effects of Operation Ajax".
Well, that would be a start, but the atrocities they've suffered as a result of US foreign policies hardly stops there. More recent in the memory of most Iraqis would probably be the US assisting Saddam Hussein during the Iran/Iraq war in the 80's.... oh, and don't forget the U.S.S Vincennes's little indiscretion in the very same Strait of Hormuz that other US warships have so recently tried to provoke hostilities... http://www.history.com/minisite.do?content_type=Mi ...
Would the US tolerate warships from a county who's warships had a track record of blowing the US's passenger jets out of the sky hang about a few miles off their coastline?
