Well the first thing that stands out is: Ukraine.

I said in another thread that this could all be one big "deal".

Take out Soleimani for Khomeini, put on a good show -> oil deal (because Venezuela take over failed, lol).

The embassy dust-up was a complete staged event from start to finish. from the second they made the green zone it was an impenetrable fortress. There were spec-ops standing there watching the protesters, the cans they were firing were nothing. The signs and flags were all brand new.

Perhaps "deal with some of our Ukraine witnesses" was part of the deal.

Take out Soleimani for Khomeini

Come again? You think the US did this as a favor to the leader of Iran because he didn't like that general? Interesting theory, not heard that one before.

Could have been a favour since the general was pretty independent of the government - and most likely the thing that haunted the back of Khomeini's mind (in terms of a "future" coup). Plus he was loved - so instead of that love being used for a revolution - use it to unify your people...

Or - it was the "cost" of making a deal - US wanted him gone maybe?

Or, least humane of all - he was the (primary) person who would stand up to a US/Iran deal. and was removed to the ensure the deal.

Interesting ideas.

I guess I've been seeing it as a removal of someone who has been a pest to US interests. And then it's also being used to polarize both everyday Iranians AND everyday Americans in to supporting a nonsense war that only Billionaires would really benefit from.

Yes, I think it is the latter. It will be used to polarize Iranians and American's against each other. At least we will see more of this in the media.

Look up Jewish leaders in Iran. And then look up the government of Israel giving millions of dolalrs in arms and weapons to Iran.

This is wikipedia, owned by a Jew who did pronography. So take anything that mentions Zionism with a grain of salt. There's lots of info. that wikipedia will jsut ignore.

At the end of the discussion Khomeini declared, "We recognize our Jews as separate from those godless, bloodsucking Zionists" and issued a fatwa decreeing that the Jews were to be protected.

Habib Elghanian was arrested and sentenced to death by an Islamic revolutionary tribunal shortly after the Islamic revolution for charges including corruption, contacts with Israel and Zionism, and "friendship with the enemies of God", and was executed by a firing squad. He was the first Jew and businessman to be executed by the Islamic government. His execution caused fear among the Jewish community and caused many to leave Iran.

In the Islamic republic, Jews have become more religious. Families who had been secular in the 1970s started adhering to kosher dietary laws and more strictly observed rules against driving on the Shabbat. They stopped going to restaurants, cafes and cinemas and the synagogue became the focal point of their social lives.

Haroun Yashyaei, a film producer and former chairman of the Central Jewish Community in Iran said, "Khomeini didn't mix up our community with Israel and Zionism – he saw us as Iranians."

In June 2007, though there were reports that wealthy expatriate Jews established a fund to offer incentives to Iranian Jews to immigrate to Israel, few took them up on the offer. The Society of Iranian Jews dismissed this act as "immature political enticements" and said that their national identity was not for sale.

Jews in the Islamic Republic of Iran are formally to be treated equally and free to practice their religion. There is even a seat in the Iranian parliament reserved for the representative of the Iranian Jews. However, de facto, discrimination is common.

It's kind of like the whole Malaysian airliner that went missing, and then a Malaysia airliner which jsut so happened to be blown up over Ukraine after going slightly off course. The bodies smelled of Formaldyhyde and were thus likely the bodies of the first plane that went missing. All just coincidences. Hte missing plane was probably that very plane.

In these PSYOPS schema is very vital for the public to latch onto the nrratives. The more connections the better the public will be in accepting the offical narratives.
