  • Good thing america got rid all the nazis back in 1940’s.

    All of the defendants were acquitted by an all-white jury. In 1984, nine Klansmen and Nazis were acquitted in a federal civil trial, again by an all-white jury, although during the grand jury proceedings that led to the second trial, one Klansmen had pleaded guilty to firing the first shot.

    Oh…














  • In April 1951, the Iranian government nationalised the Iranian oil industry by unanimous vote, and the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) was formed, displacing the AIOC.[44][45] The AIOC withdrew its management from Iran, and Britain organised an effective worldwide embargo of Iranian oil. The British government, which owned the AIOC, contested the nationalisation at the International Court of Justice at The Hague, but its complaint was dismissed.

    Prime Minister Churchill asked President Eisenhower for help in overthrowing Mossadeq. The anti-Mossadeq plan was orchestrated under the code-name ‘Operation Ajax’ by CIA, and ‘Operation Boot’ by SIS (MI6). The CIA and the British helped stage a coup in August 1953, the 1953 Iranian coup d’état, which established pro-Western general Fazlollah Zahedi as the new PM, and greatly strengthened the political power of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The AIOC was able to return to Iran. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BP

    AIOC = Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, later known as BP in 1954
