Speech [Preserving the system with the power of the nation; situation of the country under the previous regime and services of the Islamic Republic]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Brothers and sisters, what do you think of this revolution? With what are they indoctrinating you concerning this revolution? I should tell you that our revolution was victorious and shall march forward triumphantly. You should not worry about this. It is the right of every nation to desire to stand up for its right. This nation which staged a revolution and rose up with all its strata, wanted to claim its right to freedom and independence. As a Muslim nation, this nation wanted to claim the right to an Islamic Republic; they were not successful. These superpowers had for long time deprived this nation of its right. Freedom and independence were totally absent. The regime was an illegitimate monarchy. They could not maintain this regime. They could not maintain this suppression enforces before in the country. They also could not keep us dependent on others. We are independent now. The country is yours. Neither the East nor the West nor superpowers have any control here nor can they have it. With the same power with which you ousted them, you should keep your independence, freedom and the current establishment of the Islamic republic. You should not worry at all. I assure you that with this spirit, which the nation manifests, and with this uprising, you will defeat the superpowers.

It was not just the case of Muhammad-Rida. If supposing it was just his case, it was too difficult to live with a satanic power; furthermore, the case was not Muhammad-Rida. The matter was America, Russia and England. It was not limited to them as well. It was the case of all countries and states having some sorts of ties with Iran. All of them were our adversaries but some explicitly and others ironically. You stood on one side and all powers arrayed on the opposite side. Logistically, we couldn't be successful according to their calculations. We could not break through barriers because what do we have? Now you have four guns in your hands. These are booties while you had nothing before. They were fully equipped. They had everything and you were barehanded. But your hearts were fraught with faith. You had the faithful luminous heart and" God is the Greatest", calls and nobody can withstand against this call. All people God is the Greatest with one accord chanted Allahu Akbar and down with the Shah. This clamorous flood broke through all barriers and presently you are triumphant. But now they probe to set people dissatisfied. It is while you are contented with your victory and you have gotten what you are pleased with.

What was your outcry? That was" freedom, independence and the Islamic Republic" and all of them are satisfied in this moment. How these God damned people claim that nothing is achieved. To frustrate and debilitate you once more, they suggest that nothing has happened but what did our nation look for? Did you shout for bread? Did you cry for domicile? No yell for these things. Everybody, including woman and man, young and old gathered and cried" Freedom, Independence, and Islamic Republic". People's aspirations come to fruition. How do they maintain that the Revolution and the Islamic Republic achieved nothing? What was the aim of the revolution? Revolution started on the basis of these three basic slogans, which are the foundation of all other issues. Sir, do you put down this freedom? Being free is the uppermost blessing in the world. Mankind gears up to sacrifice everything for the sake of freedom. Now these 35 million imprisoned are. Has not your revolution achieved anything? They belittle our nation in this way. These writers disparage our people under the pretext of fruitless revolution. The nation's plea is fulfilled. Wheat was not their demand, though it can be obtainable too. But did anybody chant for wheat? Did they shout for house? Did you cry for paying your rents or for funds? Our people put none of these forward. The very establishment of the Islamic Republic completely fulfilled the people's aspiration but its concept must gradually be put to practice too. None of the words of these speakers, the papers by these writers and secret notices that leftists parties published every day is true; seven or eight of them were brought to me.

" The current situation is worse than that of Muhammad-Rida", the corrupted ones claim. Today, the number of political captives is more than that time. If you search all over Iran, you cannot find one imprisoned on political ground. Of course we have some prisoners that wanted to keep the country backward; there are some from former regime too. However compare them with those of that regime. At that time, the best children of Islam and the best children of Iran were in jail and under torture and oppression while now the worst traitors are there. Without any doubt they know but want to deceive the people and the youth. They write that there is no difference between this regime and that one. We had political prisoners as we have today too. Let's suppose this is true but consider prisoners in the past and present. Those were Taliqani and the like, at this instance, there are Nasiri and the like. Is there no differentiation? Now all freemen have taken off from under the yoke of cruelty and are free. All of us are sitting here and speaking freely, while it was impossible in the past. The traitors are in jail. Servers to the nation, servers to mankind were in prison foretime; country's servants and friends are out at the moment. Traitors, have some because a group of them absconded and so many lie doggo. This sort of people is in jail. Hence, are there not any difference between now and that time? Isn't there any difference in your point of view an unmindful or well informed but traitors? There is little to choose between Taliqani and Nasiri in your standpoints, so it makes no difference whether Taliqani «1» or Nasiri «2» is in prison. Maybe it is reverse. You demand the former was in and the latter out of a jail. Now that they are free, live and serve and that like of traitors have broken out or hidden themselves, you claim nothing is changed. Of course you and that like of you that like of writers of the tracts or like attempting to bring back the former regime. In this sense, you argue that nothing has changed. Certainly in your judgment is different too. However you express regret over turnout of servers and that population is released. You shout for these prisoners. O' our prisoners, O' our prisoners! This writer who is affiliated to, I do not know, which group, which hell; and expresses regret over ones in prison like the lamentation of America toward killing of Nasiri or Huveyda. Definitely they are all a union in the same pot. Brothers, be as one, young adults, sisters, my dear ones be en mass. Hesitate on what foundation they assert nothing has happened. What ails them? They do not comprehend that the country's wishes come true. What do they mean by nothing has happened? Is it meant again the royal regime is governing? Is America ruling in here any longer? Are American military advisors governing in here? Are we in jail and exile? Isn't country for us? Do others steal our belongings? Are the cruel busy with the unjust yet? Everything is fulfilled, that is; what people want. We must recognize the people's will from their cries. The pleas of people, the whole people, were what they shout. Their wish was what they were writing or saying. Day and night on roofs or in streets they were chanting. Whatsoever you ask you understand that it was not more than these three words. We never heard in their cries that our home is not good. Even those who lived in hovels did not think about the place of their livings. All their wishes were nothing except these three issues. And these three have found expression.

How is it possible that the revolution was consummated and nothing has been accomplished? The revolution was launched for the goals it has now achieved. Yes, it was for this; Islamic Republic, whose content calls for time to be Islamized. What do you expect? Wrong instructions were bred into people for 2500 years, supposing ignore that 2500 years, for 50 years, it was tangible and in our sight. What do you expect of a population whose young have been grown up by these publicities, children from the time they opened their eyes to when they went to university, to market, to work, to farm, it was drummed that Aryamihr or" Great Civilization" and a regime that all his offices were against interests of country and they did not bring up country's interest; their own interests or their masters considered important. They would educate our young just colonial knowledge, any education and training was aimed at their advantages. There was no education and training for the country interest. Now are you looking forward to immediate transfiguration of Satan who perpetrated violation for 50 years to a fairy? It is unattainable. It takes time. If we want to clean the offices from this population who has enough education, the country's administration has been paralyzed. Gradually, a qualified one must replace a corrupt one and finding an individual who is in line takes time and it is a Hobson's choice.

Having an independent country for our own is impossible until these changes take place. Everything must modify due to replacement of colonial culture by independent culture. Colonial minds substitute for independent minds. Without these changes, ultimate victory is out of hand. We reach to the victory, that is, the rudimentary demand of people and cry for it from the bottom of our heart and God granted us; but it is not all.

Now there are secondary demands. The further demands are for our offices to become Islamic, and our market to become an Islamic market. In agriculture, we see that it is Islamic. The Islamic step will be obvious when we enter offices, factories or every other place. This is the second wish of every Muslim even not to say or speak about it. Every Muslim looks ahead to fulfillment of Islam, which is a progressive religion in all aspects and if the young are educated in Islamic training and education and a nation will grow in this way everything would be sanctioned. There would be no track of exploitation any more. There would be no sign of leading into an error, delusive manners- and red-tape coming and going into Department of Justice, betraying in its difficulties. This is our will and the nation's will but it is the second demand. Its first was fulfilled. It is out of one's senses that they claim that revolution was accomplished and nothing happened. They know they make balderdash. Some of them are of satanic groups and though they know, they try to frustrate people. The young must know the devils. They should know these evil suggestions and satanic temptation. Know them and seek refugee in God from satanic temptations, and from America that stands at the head not to mention the American agents who are among our people.

God willing, may God protect you, favor you and assist you. Get your ranks unified! Accept me as a servant and I do so eternally.
