Below is a photo of Former Iranian Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
In office from 3 December 1979 – 3 June 1989.
The url link is to the blog I wrote in May of 2011, a year and a half ago, titled, "American Sentiments Toward Osama B.L. Reminiscent To The 1970's Ruhollah Khomeini?", detailing extensively with events concerning Iran, the U.S. and the world, and especially how the U.S. and Iran have "unfinished business" from what this new movie, Argo, is about; American hostages taken by Iran and six embassy employees' escape attempt from Iran. I highly recommend reading the blog before seeing the movie, Argo.
I was about 14 yrs old when this all took place I had no idea about the Embassy employees who hid in the Canadian embassy. But I always listened about the hostages. Such an awesome movie if I were John Travolta or Tom Cruise I would be so jealous. So proud of the whole production. Ben Afleck seems wise beyond his years and very un-pretentious person in the movie and seems obvious real life too.Thanx for a very good and useful movie. I recommend seeing it AT the theaters for the experience, and not just informational purposes. The high calliber cast and production did a fantastic job and you WILL be on the edge of your seat. For me, it brought back memories as a early teen, and stirred up anxiety concerning the events then, and the most recent Sep. 11, 2012 embassy attacks in N. Africa and over a dozen other U.S. embassies in the Middle East since these most recent attacks in which an American Marine was killed as well as an American Ambassador and others.

Former Iranian Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah KhomeiniBased on real events, the dramatic thriller “Argo” chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis—the full scope of which was unknown by the public for decades.
On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.
Academy Award® winner Ben Affleck (“The Town,” “Good Will Hunting”) directs and stars in the film, which is produced by Oscar® nominee Grant Heslov (“Good Night, and Good Luck.”), Affleck, and Oscar® winner George Clooney (“Syriana”). (see accurate movie details at, http://argothemovie.warnerbros.com/#about ). “Argo” also stars Bryan Cranston (TV’s “Breaking Bad”), Oscar® winner Alan Arkin (“Little Miss Sunshine”), and John Goodman (“Trouble With the Curve”). The main cast also includes Victor Garber, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, Scoot McNairy, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Kerry Bishé, Kyle Chandler and Chris Messina.

"American Sentiments Toward Osama B.L. Reminiscent To The 1970's Ruhollah Khomeini?"
May 6, 2011
In the late 1970's,
Khomeini called for Islamic revolution throughout the world. He was the supreme
ruler over Iran, and now has a successor, after his death in 1989 until present,
and ruled as Iran's first ever supreme ruler from 1979-1989.
As far back as the
mid-1970's when I was just a child, (I was born in 1964), I can remember
Saturday Night Live and all the other comedy and daytime talk shows and
comedians, making fun of everything from his name, to toys and collectors items
mocking him. But now, the celebrations following Osama Bin Laden's killing have
caused us to progress from predominantly conservatives, mocking our enemy, to
most all Americans, celebrating what I prefer to call, JUSTICE. I remember
Ayatola Toilet Paper, Ayatola-On-A Rope (soap-on-a rope), as well as dolls,
paintings and cartoons with an unlimited number of ways to parody Khomeini's
names pronunciation and charicatures. Even the yellow ribbons we see all over
the place, especially car magnets, is the idea from the days of the American
hostages in Iran, when we began tying yellow ribbons around our trees, so we
won't forget our fellow Americans being held hostage. It seemed everyone was
united in opposition to this man. Basically, he called for the destruction of
the United States and Israel before Osama Bin Laden was ever heard of, and he
was responsible for the 52 American hostages being taken at the American Embassy
in Iran for 144 days. And now, the current Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmedinejad, who became president in 2005, was actually identified by some of
the American hostages as one of their captors, which Ahmedinejad denies. So
besides my point of similarities to the united scorn of Bin Laden after his
death on May 1, 2011, and the lack of unity prior to his demise, I'm pointing
out that if you read up on the Iranian Revolution, and the Iranian/Iraq war, you
will see that prior to all that, even up until now, there you will see there's
plenty of unfinished business between the U.S. and Iran. So the age old question
begs to be asked; "What's next?"
On to now, concerning
Osama Bin Laden. While the past 10 yrs are fresh in everyones minds who are at
least 30 years old now, and those who were children at the time of Sep. 11,
2001, between the current ages now of 20 and 30 years old, who may barely have
remembrances as a child of their parents speaking about the Soviet Union/U.S.
relations, may have mostly memories of Middle Eastern fears, and various names
of terrorists who have always been in the news, such as, Osama Bin Laden.
My observation is
that, for the past 5 yrs or so, I can remember wondering, "why are we not all
united in scorning and scoffing this OBL, as we were toward Ayatollah Khomeini
in the 1970's throughout the 1980's?" I know that ONE reason is that we have
such a ready available and vast amount of information to us since the mid to
late 1990's with the rise of internet capabilities, that we are not limited to
television, magazines and physical toys for humor and entertainment. We have all
that AND internet info overload, which preoccupies us with everything under the
sun, other than being united, as we were before what has become a distraction of
the internet and all the accessories that are attached to the internet in every
concievable way we have so far thought of and invented and copyrighted and
pattented.
And reason number two
is, back in the 1970's and before, we KNEW who the GOODGUYS were. It almost felt
like I was puting total blame for lack of knowing who the good guys were and the
lack of unity, on the information age. But more precisely, we have so many
communistic and socialist-leaning politicians and media who have mastered the
art of deception, and are attempting and largely succeding, in abolishing our
U.S. Constitution, and poisoning our minds with the assumption that mass
murderers are to be dialogued with and rewarded with a legitimate
government.
So now, after the
much celebrated death of Osama Bin Laden, I remembered my frequently asked
question, and my wish, that somehow, our country can in some way regain the
simplicity of unity, and it has been evident ever since the news of the U.S.
Seal Team 6 and our Government inteligence agencies' successful raid against our
enemies. In case anyone hasn't noticed, read, or heard, even the news
broadcastors and printers have brought that to our attention, that we are more
united now than we have been.
But get this: in my
readings and research on the Ayatolla, I saw that his overthrow of the Iranian
government of the 1970's, and declarations of worldwide Muslim aggression
against the Western world, especially the U.S.A. and Israel, it has been noted
that Iran has been more united than ever, also, with two major sectors in their
population, being moderates, who are against religious and political aggression
towards the West, and the other being the extreme Islamic religious. And they
have Khomeini to thank for that, way back in the 1970's when he took control of
their government, by popular uprising. (Sound familiar?)
So are we going to be
happy again in the U.S.? I don't think so. But at least we have achieved some
sort of unity, and hopefully there can be some sort of logic and peace between
the Persians, Arabs and the extremists of that part of the world and of the U.S.
and Israel, and will will abandon their ages old mindset of religious
domination.
Of course that will
not happen, because of all the other political ambitions of New World Order and
those of literally all religious faiths, (except Satan worship maybe), are at
odds with New World Order, hence the Biblical prophecies of the "mark of the
beast" and the final war of Armageddon, which is literally the war between man
and God.
So how did I venture
off toward a further time other than our present time of unity as a result of
the death of a global vilain? Well, I just didn't want anyone's hopes to get too
high, and put things in a more proper perspective. And hopefully with all I've
brought up, we can not forget the American mantra of the late 1970's and 1980's,
"Remember The Hostages".
