Pahlavi Era Portrayal on Manoto and in Iranian TV Series

How did the Pahlavi dynasty become heroic?

It goes back to when someone stole the entire archive from the Shah's era from IRIB and sold it to the anti-Iranian network Manoto.

That network got to work and cut out every part of the films that was interesting and useful.

They cut and separated them. Cut this out, cut this out.

Then they colorized them using modern technology and added good sound and appropriate emotional music.

Welcome to the program Time Tunnel. Then, in its entertaining programs, with made- up, badly dressed hosts, without appearing to have political intentions, it creates a utopia out of that era.

A happy, colorful world where everyone is happy, everyone is rich, and there are no poor people, and, basically, everyone is dancing and partying.

The country is also developing and on the path to progress.

Seeing these very images, for people who They'd never seen images like these on IRIB or in history books.

They had only one meaning. Everything we’ve been told about the Pahlavi era is a lie.

In its early years, Manoto TV didn’t talk about politics, didn’t defend SAVAK, and was just an entertainment channel.

You’re with us on tonight’s news. You’re with us.

But within that very entertainment, a massive, targeted brainwashing campaign had been planned.

Now, the real tragedy is that on our own home- streaming platforms, stories that seem like crime and romance are set against the historical backdrop of the Pahlavi regime.

Series like Tasian, Khatoon, Yal, and show the Pahlavi era as happy and prosperous and even whitewash SAVAK.

And people, whose aim in watching films is simply to be entertained, are unwittingly misled and brainwashed.

Now, to better achieve its goal, Mossad assassinates revolutionary filmmakers.

People like Farajollah Salahshour, who, after making Prophet Joseph, wanted to make a series about Moses, but was poisoned.

Or Mr. Nader Talebzadeh, Habibollah Kasehsaz, and others.

And in the end, that’s the power of art.

If someone has seen something with their own eyes and it’s been implanted in their mind through cinematic hypnosis, you can bring them thousands of arguments and historical documents, but you can’t convince them.

Yes, cinema is, in fact, a form of hypnosis.

A hypnosis that even the blood of the children of Minab couldn’t dispel.
