J. MICHAEL WALLER: The real reason the Left hated the Shah

One of our laws is that communism is not allowed. It's banned.  So you can't do it.  --The Shah of Iran

I had no idea how long the Shah ruled Iran, from 1941-1979:

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi ^[a] (26 October 1919 – 27 July 1980) was the last Shah of Iran from 1941 to 1979. He succeeded his father Reza Shah and ruled the Imperial State of Iran until he was overthrown in the Islamic Revolution led by Ruhollah Khomeini, which abolished the Iranian monarchy to establish the Islamic Republic of Iran. In 1967, he took the title Shahanshah (lit. 'King of Kings'),^[1] and held several others, including Aryamehr (lit. 'Light of the Aryans') and Bozorg Arteshtaran (lit. 'Grand Army Commander'). He was the second and last ruling monarch of the Pahlavi dynasty.

It is funny how we've always heard of the "severe repression" under the rule of the Shah.  But it was only the severe repression by the Shah of the communists.  

Under the rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, communism faced severe repression. The regime's anti-communist stance was a significant aspect of its governance.

Section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) requires institutions of higher education to disclose gifts and contracts valued at $250,000 or more and that the Department of Education will make those disclosures available for public inspection.  All data, new and historic, is self-reported by institutions.
