In the late 1970 s. The world was in turmoil never before had so many people taking to the streets millions of demonstrators demanded more democracy greater freedom higher wages and world peace and across the globe women were calling for equal rights. That all these hopes seemed to take a back seat in the world shackled to the ongoing confrontation between the United States and the soviet union. There appeared to be little alternative to the 2 political blocs the cold war had the world. The west was still feeling the after effects of the oil crisis of the early 1970 s. Economic growth had slowed. And unemployment was steadily rising the postal boom had come to an end. In britain James Callaghans labor government came under pressure from its financial obligations to the International Monetary fund but also from a seemingly endless series of strikes that had to paralyze the country. In Eastern Europe poland remains under soviet rule the polish economy was in crisis and the country was still scarred by the harsh depression of the workers strikes of 970. The election of polish cardinal. As pope in 1978 kindled fresh hope. China was drained after 30 years of oppressive rule in december 978. 00 the Chinese Communist party entrusted the face of the country. He was already in his seventys. In iran the brutal western oriented dictatorship of the shah was under huge pressure from demonstrations that were tipping over into revolt although u. S. President jimmy carter still so iran as an island of stability hundreds of thousands of iranians which challenging the Security Forces and the army on the streets of tehran demanding an end to the shahs rule. At the dawn of 979. 00 it seemed the world was ready to erupt. With the full leaders of the major western nations the United States france the United Kingdom and west germany appeared unconcerned. In the french antilles they were unaware that the location of their meeting was only a few kilometers away from the last of the small during volcano. Officially the 4 heads of states gathered in guadeloupe were preparing for the upcoming g. 7 summit in tokyo smiling reassuringly for the cameras in their shift sleeves. In reality the mood was falling serene. In iran the situation had become untenable as international protests condemned the shahs dictatorship the country was sinking into chaos and Oil Production had almost completely stopped fronts was eager to be rid of an embarrassing guess they had been hosting for several months the exiled iranian cleric ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini the voyages of states came to a decision that the shah would have to resign and leave iran and the aging cleric who they knew little about would be allowed to return to stabilize the country and preserve the economic interests of the west. And i heard about that why the local conference pathing it was there that they decided that if the show goes i perform a new column its not such a disaster for the west. All of the sudden the mainstream of. This started talking about khomeini as a big shot at the big actually fight over the shah which it was not in the. Long run. There was this great propaganda strategy and the european media fell into the trap because that image was really too idyllic almost like a garden of eden. Khomeini khamenei never failed to state that everything he did would be determined by islam sooner pavel islam he had always dreamt of you know state in which sharia law would rule a very important part of it was the rights of women the family law and everything that was why he had been sent into exile because he had objected to the right of women to vote. On French Television khomeini was asked who would really run when the shah was gone are you. Sure you. Know no it wont be me i will choose a council and in this council there will be a parliament elected by universal suffrage. That was the big lie but the majority believe it. Very good unity between all part of the society together for changing the system i. Think to show that there were people out on the streets with. Carts saying. The show has gone shot the show has left and theyre free thing and it was just an expression of. We were in a group we were always in the streets the streets were absolutely packed and there was a huge sense of solidarity all this had quite a euphoric in fact i sampled. Right. Here. The reaction. To. The meeting. And i was standing outside from university with some other people in a light to watch this and then this man sits standing next to me a working class black the stretched out his hand and held my hand and he said now we are one and this pick. Thats the spirit of fear and. Believe it. Or not. Since the porn and. The police and the secret police im glad not to speak to. There was absolutely no power from imposed on the population so it was total freak everybody was so. Friendly to each other everybody was helping each other everybody was killing for the other and the civil. You. Know that you might not pick out for what we shot in the name of god now after 4 months of living in france. I am leaving here to serve my country. Its also necessary to express my gratitude to the french government and people for providing me with security measures and freedom of expression. At large. While i have told a khamenei was taking off from paris 9000 kilometers away another plane had another cleric on board the newly elected Pope John Paul the 2nd he was on his way back from his 1st papal visit abroad in mexico the pope had unequivocally rejected the in his eyes marxist content of the liberation theology that was challenging the Catholic Church in latin america but he was careful to avoid revealing to the media that he planned to launch his true crusade against communism in his native country of poland. You. Know she suffers from the. Cold im in some denying people have no hope it was. Many years of the war but communism had been around for so many years shopped around to life was hard everything was a problem. And a combination you have very few believers because the men are more in france. Poland because people have no illusions this illusion was not loved but there they feel that even though its because of the commander. But still how to make. It kept the system and i was intimidation linked to this so that you know. There are 2 programs in the polls. And we will listen to the news at 7 30 in the evening i think because this was a common a strong you know state run company so propaganda machine. You know you listen to it just with one ear and never believe half of it and then somebody in the middle of the news they said the. Poll hes being chosen as the pope. And thats what i mean why is picked up and i thought a published book i think the main impact was not so much for the religious it was nationalist the national he was received in poland this is my impression not as a leader of the Catholic Church but as the most prominent people. In there were the thought. We had the Party Membership card but each of us was also in our soul a pole. And all of a sudden you know it was unprecedented appalled to become pope and would sit on the throne of st peter. It was extraordinary and we had such a feeling of pride. But there was also a sense that this would become a big problem for the leadership. On the other side of the world a giant was beginning to awaken from it slumber. Done shopping have been a fellow revolutionary of mouths they dont he had been arrested during the cultural revolution but was now taking control of the Chinese Communist party when i arrived in beijing the apartment which my family and i occupied looked out on to the great multilane highway of the avenue of eternal peace and every morning i would watch the band the women going to work. Like so many people in china living a zombie like existence. Once dont become the paramount leader he never took the position of Prime Minister he wanted to be the power behind the throne but nobody could doubt that he was in the supremes rule of china. They choose and they by the late 1970 s. The party slogans no longer revolved around communism the new slogan was the 4 modernizations meaning National Defense industry agriculture and science and technology this modernization was intended to appeal to the Chinese People. Yes little Chinese People were no longer interested in communist ideals Deng Xiaoping knew this and understood the party had to offer something to unite people thats why he announced this modernization catching up with the west he also ease political tensions with the u. S. In the west that formula was a way to preserve the communist partys rule. Youre. Done shopping as a pragmatic nationalist wanted the strategic strength and a lot and friendship of the United States in case the service you try to use its superior military power to intervene in chinese politics u. S. Policy toward the soviet union after world war 2 was basically formulated by George Kennan diplomat is signed to the u. S. Embassy in moscow. His can scan sept of containment was that if the Serviette Union or walled off and left to its own devices its system had so many defects that it would ultimately collapse and so we began a process that led to a decision on our side to normalize relations with china the United States of america and the people the public of china have agreed to recognize each other and to establish diplomatic relations as of january 1st 1979. The United States recognizes the government of the people the public of china as a solo legal government china both believe that normalization of sino American Relations is not only in the interest of the chinese and American People but also contributes to the cause of peace in asia and in the world i am pleased to announce that right premier. Accepted an invitation. And would visit iraq. I. Hat. And early 979 britain was suffering one of the coldest winters in its history even worse with a protracted strikes that were undermining the government of Prime Minister james callaghan. So its not quite the report of his that this really was Margaret Thatcher whod become leader of the conservative policy for years and now intended to take advantage of the native policy in disarray so if you ask whether the next conservative government will cut controls and regulations and keep interference in peoples lives to a minimum my answer is yes thats exactly what we should. Call it fell right in the general election of 979. 00 because in the winter of 197879. 00 all these strikes all came together under a labor camp. There was a perfect position for her to be and to say this caused all the people because of a country like. Mentioned the speeches were for coal miners in march through march loosely called the british with its organized union. With me refuge in the street. To look at work clearing dust where we refuse to place a wooden hospital porters standing at the gate so hospitals 30 people with all those things were happening. And the government could let the people they have been so good like the. Most dramatic of all is that the. The bodies of the dead couldnt be about it because the crippled workers are on strike i think from that moment the election of a conservative government has stopped a bull she did always want to be Prime Minister but she thought if she said it several would laugh at her because it just seemed too remote a possibility when she was a young woman the most famous definition of democracy is government of the people i know people for the feet. Not Government Office section of the people by a section of the people for a section of the beach. One of the most impressive things about Margaret Thatcher is you never saw her in anything except the most immaculate. Condition and it was that men dont really have to think about this even if we will read suits can we put a comb so i have and thats about it but for women its a totally different she understood that the men were a club and they would support one another if they did something stupid. But the women werent and if they did something stupid they were out she saw it all as a battle she said theres no 2nd chance for a woman bloody hard to find an example of Margaret Thatcher ever admitting she was wrong you dont admit it youve changed your mind you get on with it change your mind but you never give any ground chairs that was a definite view of how you can be a leader and she was 2 people really there was very guts thatcher which reacted in a very typical. Sort of. British tradition and there was the thinking thatcher took a bit of time to get past the 1st one to address the certain right but you had to learn to do it. Through say a thing in her eye that was missing was the understanding not societys not entirely composed of achievers and there are 203035 percent of people who are not going to be very happy or not enjoying their jobs and generally unable to cope and who need the help of a society which is generous towards those who are less advantaged that was her weakness so you know the answer is simple in carriage them to work harder and they will encourage them to produce the right sort of goods and they will and then we too will be able once again to join the 1st division of nations dont just hope for a better life vote for one. On his return flight back to iran Ayatollah Khamenei surrounded himself with journalists a strategy that would ensure worldwide coverage of the event and help safeguard him from attack by any remaining royalists to the shock. Of the end after 15 years in exile khamenei was eager to finally accomplish a plan he had concealed from the wider world. Can remove the i didnt know anything about khamenei really we wanted the revolution to continue its course for us it was a huge moment in history i was interested in the enormous welcome he received. That i was hoping hed go back to calm and stay there with us that was me and said you know people have gone to where its copies of the end they were as much these people i think this thing might be the i guess part of the religious that you have to remember that a large number of them went and very content because of what he had promised he had promised talked of democracy to a close for me it was in one effect he had come so what. Was in the name of allah the gracious the merciful in the beginning was the name of allah. But allah rejects the corruptible. Happy is the true believer. To the enemy of people and the religion of allah. Cant keep up a little there was a great deal of laughter because his persian was not very good or maybe it was his own version. He blended it with language from the quran on food he was shaping his own image and perhaps that was really who he was. For us at least it was very exotic that was our impression of him and in a way it also showed us what the people were like to the lookbook use he has told them he will give the country freedom of course he wont give the country freedom and then these people will turn against him exactly as they turned against the shah you know that experience was there so fresh in our mind so we were hopeful. We were sad cast sick thorsten that was a fake and a mistake little by little happened that khomeini and islamic actually people they came to the public leg wish the left was not demanding democracy. And for various reasons this rejection of democracy was the same spirit that made it easy for the islamists to gain power you gain your 1st one more look it up. Then be sowing all over them with radiation from certain time that are coming in the riemann also. Door and also the scarf on some he looked up with his job. This sawing talking to everybody for the unity of the struggle the women have to wear the huge oil and offered them also in this truth of the here on in the most efficient use of the veil worn by these women it seemed acceptable since they were all women of the people it was as if the veil had become something belonging to the women of the people and that was a disaster. Catastrophe i think everybody was aware that there would be a confrontation but we were almost convinced or not almost definitely convinced that leave would be if we could just. Because we where the revolution. In the case of course was the international womens. Day womens the most ration was not called on by any political organization. It did not belong to anyone it was as demonstration of women 1st planned to celebrate the night before a sea of march i think i heard it on the 9 oclock news khomeinis said that women should not go to work need kicked. Nature meaning without the fear more lonely didnt take him seriously i thought hes crazy hes out of his mind of it among ourselves we laughed and said another random statement coming out of nowhere but we were wrong minnow the fact that women should go to work there was like a slap in the face. There have also been martyrs among us women we fought with the veil and without it for our freedom and that of the people and if khomeini continues like this i who am a true muslim will leave my religion. But were not allowed to speak for women the islamic government has the only word we women are not allowed to speak. Was the e. U. Was i believe that over in really on women that they came to the streets if even for me it was very important to know why they are out and all of them they said that if we dont will go back we won on top of more freedom taking care of them or his job that you were calling for equal rights with men our thinking is if we dont speak to each other now when the constitution is written they will not give us anything more were demonstrating not only because of the veil but because of a whole range of far more important things like you are cash based now for happiness johnnies through the instead of from the west nor from the east this universe was especially from the 2nd day. The mob. Armed with chain they came against of the most ration they really did a lot of their to do this said a lot on their towards to demand and in the most ration and also distort to attack us with change they had pushed them to blind alleys. And against the wall its taken out their. Penises and heading in to them telling them you want freedom come and get it but the women answer to them was really struck were. The an odd. Accomplice they brushed it off by saying none of this matters the a mom never said he was going to impose this women need to calm down its a royalist demonstration things like that and the left called on women to stop. That was the. The moment when this part of the population realized. That they had to confront. After months of tough negotiations the polish authorities welcomed john paul the 2nd to the country of his birth the pope knew that this 2nd trip of his pontificate with be an extremely delicate effect he arrived in poland not only as the leader of the church but as a political figure leaving the church in an intended reconquest of the European Countries still under the soviet. Ok actually call it was not a religious institution. Was sort of on the independent National Institutions independent from the particle. Down so many people were going to catch up necessarily because they were very aware of. The expressed. They had to feel towards mrs stanton also the role of congress. There was an attempt on the part of communism in poland to suppress the church the sun expands and such and that socialism is based on the top political dogma spent on the city police. And. Paul we went in a group on a bus early in the morning and arrived in warsaw at about 7 in the morning and yeah. You want to play muckers ive been on thats where before at the time it was called victory square but it was the 1st time it seemed so big to me sort of more. Losers really euphoric situation and be really really piece of it was just something they could never have believed to have happened if the pope visited in the back of the country that he would not be sought. Theyre wired into the warm but theyre safe and these 2 can believe it i think when the pope actually right there could still hardly believe that he was in poland as was the pose pope. Saying he said we waited i dont know 6 hours and then he arrived and the mood changed to please. I. Call something before all sunni this sense of a reception by the full length this is understandable given up on the despair from the right about 1st of all our history and our policy position in 179. The post to live in of course knew they had to show the visit because it was obvious that they could say no but it was also all do so they were going to try and play down the whole thing and to make sure that the crowds werent too big and so on so it was maybe a long lens and sure less people there in groups. We always see the possibility to see old people empty places and. So. Yes. I definitely. At the end of the homily he prayed to the holy spirit to all. Hed be. You wouldnt. Be. Katy it was a very clear in my opinion political message that peace you have to think unification and you have to opens it. You have to open limits which divide the word and people. As opposed to worse than a photographer based behind the im. Proud of the just looks like a like a prophet or you think its not even people the time when you look closely at this is the right word and i just really cant imagine if i had to stand in the crowd in the sun for 4 hours now suppose that they love to come in there just for there was. Anything sacred where they could show the hatred for the communist system these slogans we saw a book of which means we even got. Not sure the right that nowadays but it was those as a as a form of protest against the current government is a strong. Certainly yes. Spraggan be very yet another she should soon know each tonight yet new yorkers. Who shes asked them about this make me walk stage. On your. Story. With me will earn your spats if each. When i stand of your oh me a nice suit a christian yes gene youre not old. Well mule than you have fresh air. Almost every kind of whenever theres a contradiction it should have some. Country on national specifics of that and the politics could be very spirited strong given our History History of the main independent institution attracted people not only because of the religious views and also because of people through all to national. War yet not on the ends and. Yes. On year ear aspect of ionia rough going out albeit yes paul said that shes proud of what no east nang out or asked go samo samo of young out also argue. It was for him important saying that europe which was divided. It was. How to say way leading to nothing so for traditional 1st of all he was sinking probably not only on poland but iraq as a center which should not be divided like it was still his election. Queue cracking here surely youre not going to dream. In your small reach for years now new orleans you know. The road you look at the elites is when it comes to catholicism in our ideology there are also points of contact areas of shared ground and. Some even say that jesus was almost a communist in his views. And if you didnt stop seeing those images of people praying we realized they were not really communists they were radishes right on the outside only and we stopped being afraid to touch it the visitor. Second on this visit we saw poland falling to its knees. And not before us. Not before our ideology by that before the pope is going to call on that upset but heres a. John deduced john paul the 2nd was the ruler of their song to. Play communists didnt let us assemble or acknowledge our numbers the pope gathered us together saw us saw that we were many and then many others were joining us. We divided. For people to quote beyond their wildest expectations. I will separate from them the people safe so its only from within the system can you you can try to change it if youre sure under so that you know will not disappear to the logical conclusion. Even without the pope communism would have fallen but much much later and the end would have been bloody he helped ensure that the struggle ended without bloodshed. Somehow i think young economists inform our group of the younger people who work hard how to improve socialism and the main purpose of. Expense of economic freedom. Itself and basically the pope gave the word and we the workers working polls turned it into the body of victory speeches. That were going to. Sort of been spent that should have immediately did not mention is going to get started so i do think that this was a terrible pretty serious attempt. First sort of darted through the movement came into being can expect to come over since a candle into there was a great demand for proposing a comment from society and the 3rd world that you know the. In the long hours i never liked capitalism but i had no choice. About said of each new how to introduce it thats why i supported it you. Know its a comic book isnt it about this not just for them and. The 2 theaters thats not it is the shredder most efficient felt a little bit far off my 1st conversation with like voice overs done by form. Mr trueman our human torch or fall into comedy took responsibility. To do it and then go and so said yes this is a bank this program but this was a complement bump its program. But necessary he was the man who actually carry through the revolution i did the Political Part but he did the practical part of the practice some things are. Serious. And there is a brief period which i have called the period of extraordinary reported so people tend to be more willing to know not to accept house changes but its kind of lost more than 4 years. When youre in tough so you have to be you move very fast to top this you just created by history you cannot fabricate this this was a psychological and political argument for moving very fast and iran had put out going after the irony was that the proletariat had to support capitalism and establish it that is a member would oversee capitalism and the focus play for positive growth talking behind the scenes. I tried to enlist the support of leaders including the pope so i met the most important purpose was on my part to inform hence what is going on in poland in order to avoid criticism of this book because i have many people saying to congress to all choked up with.
