PUBLICATION OF MY BOOKS
UNBELIEVABLE TRUE STORIES SPANNING CONTINENTS AND CULTURES
I am delighted to announce the publication of my books. These works are the culmination of over half a century of living and working in various countries, and each book offers readers a unique glimpse into extraordinary true stories drawn from my professional and personal journey.
Throughout my lifetime, I have been fortunate to immerse myself in different cultures, face unique challenges, and witness remarkable events. My experiences span an amazing array of fields, from the creative realms of art, antiques and design to the dynamic world of construction and manufacturing, and even into the challenging and often perilous domains of petroleum, energy, commodities, politics, global investigative due diligence services, and intelligence operations. Through these books, I share insights, lessons, and compelling narratives shaped by the many cultures, people, and adventures I have encountered along the way.
In the majority of businesses I have been involved with, the stakes are extremely high—any simple mistake can have life-or-death consequences. Operating in businesses where life is in danger has instilled in me a deep sense of purpose and responsibility. No matter how challenging or high-stakes the situation—whether in projects, business ventures, or operational crises—I have always maintained a strict, zero-tolerance approach toward mistakes.
I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have spent my formative years—my childhood and adolescence—in Iran—the only country in the world where religious freedom was not only valued but truly experienced. Iran, historically known as Persia, is a country that boasts one of the world’s oldest and most fascinating civilizations with a rich tapestry of history, culture, and tradition.
I was also fortunate to attend a high school whose principal allowed such a wild and controversial character to be part of the school and express my provocative opinions freely. Of course, I consistently earned perfect scores—100 grades—in mathematics, geometry, physics, and chemistry. Later in life, he became my business partner, and together we ventured into the construction, hospitality and restaurant industries in London, UK, creating a tapestry of unforgettable stories.
In a twist of fate, 35 years later, the buyer of the historic mansion I designed and built in Greenwich Connecticut, USA turned out to be none other than a memorable customer from my London restaurant.
The combination of that freedom and my advanced understanding of mathematics and science provided a strong basis for me to challenge topics that were previously considered off-limits, most still are. Having the liberty to explore unconventional ideas, coupled with a deep knowledge of quantitative disciplines, allowed me to question established beliefs and push boundaries in areas often regarded as taboo or beyond the scope of traditional inquiry.
Even today, many of these subjects remain sensitive or rarely discussed, but my background enables me to engage with them thoughtfully and rigorously, contributing meaningful insights to conversations that might otherwise be silenced.
I believe that even in the most demanding circumstances, a touch of humor can go a long way. Infusing humor doesn’t diminish the seriousness of the task at hand when zero-tolerance rule applies. My books reflect the same humor I use in life and business. The art of light-hearted conversation is a vital tool for maximizing both productivity and the joy of living.

INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES AND ME
True Stories
by: Behzad Farahani
In my meeting with the FBI, it became clear within minutes that they saw me as someone who could become one of their most significant assets globally, not just for organizing but also for managing their operations.
Throughout a series of engaging meetings with our agencies focused on global affairs, our teams participated in dynamic discussions that fostered both professional growth and international cooperation. These interactions led to the development of strong partnerships and relationships with leading intelligence and law enforcement agencies, including the CIA, DEA, Department of Defense (DoD), Department of
Justice (DoJ), United States Treasury (UST), United States Army, and United States Navy.
I have maintained a similar type of professional, diplomatic, or business relationship across different countries.
Our collective journey was marked by heroic and adventurous experiences. These endeavors involved highly classified operations, particularly in the realm of counterterrorism. Working alongside hundreds of agents, we were able to take on complex challenges that required strategic thinking, resilience, and the highest levels of discretion.
Our collaborative efforts also extended to combating financial crimes, including anti-money laundering activities. Together, we addressed transactions valued at over US$250 billion. Our anti-money laundering projects are estimated to have exceeded four trillion United States dollars.
Working alongside agencies and militaries has been the most honorable period of my life. The experiences, lessons learned, and the bonds formed during this time have shaped my character and perspective in profound ways.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals whose dedication to duty and selfless service embody the highest standards of heroism. These men and women consistently demonstrated courage, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the greater good. Their actions, both on and off the field, have left an indelible mark on my heart and memory.
The memories created during these years are among my most treasured. From intense moments of challenge and adversity to celebrations of accomplishment and camaraderie, each experience has contributed to a tapestry of honor and pride. Many stories and bonds forged in these environments will remain with me forever, carried silently and respectfully to my grave.
While stories of heroic triumphs and incredible successes often inspire us, it is equally important to acknowledge the sobering reality of persistent failures. Despite the lessons history offers, humanity continues to make significant mistakes—both on the international stage and within our own borders. These failures, some irreversible, serve as reminders of the critical importance of learning from the past.
The stories of failure are as instructive as those of success. They remind us that progress is not guaranteed and that vigilance, humility, and a willingness to learn are essential. By reflecting honestly on our irreversible mistakes—both foreign and domestic—we can strive to build a future less burdened by the errors of the past.
I also encountered a wide range of personalities. Unfortunately, some of the most challenging were those who were ignorant, arrogant, amateur, and opportunistic. These individuals seemed driven solely by the desire to climb the corporate ladder, often at the expense of others. Their actions were frequently destructive, as they would undermine colleagues and sabotage projects just to secure a better business position for themselves.
What was particularly striking about this group was that most had spent their entire careers as employees, rarely—if ever—venturing into self-employment or private practice. Their narrow experience meant that they often lacked an understanding of the risks, resilience, and strategies required to truly succeed on one’s own. In private practice, the path to success is far more demanding and nuanced than government; it requires personal accountability, adaptability, and a deep commitment to client trust and satisfaction.
Whether starting as a simple agent or advancing to a high-level role handling sensitive classified information, the lessons learned in private practice are distinct and invaluable. Self-employed professionals must constantly innovate, build genuine relationships, and earn their reputation through integrity and hard work. This authentic journey is often in stark contrast to the opportunistic behavior I observed among those who had only known the traditional employment model, where success is sometimes pursued at the cost of ethics and collaboration.
I have never tolerated those individuals, no matter what positions they hold. I have never been employed by any individual, organization, or government entity, and I have never had to tolerate foolishness in any professional setting.
This is why I consistently attained flawless precision in data collection and task execution, maintaining a perfect accuracy rate of 100%—without a single error or exception, ensuring every detail was handled impeccably. This quality has consistently propelled me to the forefront, allowing me to take on leadership roles and serve as an architect in various projects.
These are some of my unbelievable stories. I will only discuss the non-classified matters. This means that all topics or information shared will be appropriate for open discussion and do not contain any sensitive data. Should you have questions about classified details, please note that those cannot be addressed at this time. In order to preserve the privacy, confidentiality, and security of everyone, I have changed the names and identities throughout this book.

ADORABLE AMERICA
True Stories
by: Behzad Farahani
As someone who deeply adores America, I feel compelled to share my thoughts about the safety and future of this remarkable country—as well as our amazing planet. The love I have for this nation is rooted in its spirit, resilience, and the boundless opportunities it offers. America represents not only a place of freedom and innovation but also a beacon of hope for so many across the world.
It is precisely because of this affection that I care so profoundly about the challenges we face today. From environmental threats to social divisions, economic uncertainties, and global conflicts, the path ahead is filled with both obstacles and opportunities. We must recognize our responsibility to protect what makes
America—and our planet—so special for generations to come.
I would regret leaving anything unsaid that could inspire action, unity, or reflection. Now is not the time for silence; it is the time to speak up for the values we cherish and the future we envision. We must prioritize safety, justice, compassion, and sustainability—ensuring that our children inherit a world where hope thrives and dreams remain possible.
Let us work together to preserve America’s beauty and promise. Let us strive to heal our planet, to bridge divides, and to create positive change. No matter where our journey leads, may we never lose sight of the ideals that make this country and this world truly adorable.
Drawing upon decades of hands-on experience in the construction industry across various countries, I offer a critical evaluation of the current state of U.S. infrastructure—including bridges, tunnels, roads, and airports. This analysis is informed by international standards and best practices, as well as firsthand observations of both strengths and areas for improvement in American infrastructure.
I am able to secure enough funding to finance most of these improvements and renovations. However, the origin of these funds might not be favored by our politicians, who generally do not have expertise in design, construction, or consequences of lack of maintenance.
This book also explores a diverse range of critical social topics, including our social structure, various religions, human trafficking, child homelessness, feminine discrimination, and animal abuse. Each subject is examined to highlight its impact on society and encourage thoughtful consideration of these important issues.

ERRATIC CONSPIRACIES
True Stories
by: Behzad Farahani
It was a beautiful early morning in the heart of fall. The trees outside my window were ablaze with brilliant shades of crimson, tangerine, and gold, their leaves fluttering gently on the crisp breeze. I lay cocooned in the warmth of my bed, the world outside painted in autumn’s finest colors. The air was cool but pleasant, promising a day of calm and quiet.
Without warning, a tremendous shockwave surged through the room. I was violently tossed up nearly two feet off my mattress, my body suspended in one surreal moment before I crashed back down, heart thundering in my chest. For a split second, my mind darted to earthquakes—I’d felt them before, the subtle rolling and trembling that comes with living in certain parts of the world. But this was unlike anything I had ever experienced.
Earthquakes rumble and sway, but this sensation was a single, brutal jolt. It radiated an energy that felt foreign and menacing, not the familiar undulations of shifting earth. As I gathered my bearings, the distant echo of destruction grew louder and more real. It wasn’t the earth itself that had roared this morning, but a massive explosion—a bomb detonated just a few hundred yards from where I slept.
The realization washed over me, chilling and profound. The serenity of the colorful fall morning had been shattered in an instant. Outside, the world I knew was now forever changed, the comforting beauty of autumn sharply contrasted by the violence of manmade chaos. My heart pounded with adrenaline, fear, and disbelief as I rose from my bed and moved toward the window, uncertain of what I would find outside, but knowing that nothing would ever feel quite the same again.

MAN WITHOUT A BULLET
TRUE STORIES
by: Behzad Farahani
During President Carter’s tenure, significant events involving Islamic movements did occur, such as the Iranian Revolution of 1979, which resulted in the establishment of an Islamic Republic in Iran.
It was called “Green Belt”.
The "Green Belt" was a geopolitical strategy conceived during the Cold War era. The idea was to create a buffer zone of Islamic states across Central Asia and the Middle East, effectively acting as a barrier to the spread of communism from the Soviet Union into South Asia and beyond. This approach was reportedly encouraged by British strategists and adopted by American policymakers, including President Jimmy Carter. The premise was that Islam, as a religious and cultural force, could serve as a bulwark against
communist ideology, which was perceived as atheistic and incompatible with religious societies.Throughout history, the entanglement of religion and politics has led to significant consequences for nations and empires. When political powers attempt to manipulate religious sentiments or divisions for their own gain, the immediate advantages often mask deeper, long-term risks. The British Empire’s experiences with its colonies provide a powerful example of how such miscalculations can lead to the erosion of imperial control and eventual decline.
The British Empire, in its effort to maintain dominance over its vast colonial holdings, frequently employed tactics that exploited religious differences among local populations. These strategies included favoring certain religious groups over others, creating divisions, and sometimes even codifying religious distinctions into law. While these approaches were intended to weaken unified resistance and solidify British authority, they always sowed the seeds of future conflict and instability.
This time, the result became catastrophic. Outcome was disastrous, leading to widespread consequences that affected everyone involved. The severity of the situation was immediately apparent, with significant losses and irreparable damage. Lessons learned from this experience highlighted the importance of careful planning, risk assessment, and the need to anticipate potential pitfalls to prevent such catastrophic results in the future.
The fundamental miscalculation in such “religious games” was the assumption that religious divisions could be perpetually managed or controlled. In reality, these tactics often intensified sectarian tensions, making reconciliation and unity more difficult. Over time, the very groups the British sought to control became increasingly resistant to foreign rule as their grievances mounted. The failure to anticipate the long-term consequences of these catastrophic and piracy policies contributed to widespread unrest and ultimately damaged our civilization and peace.

PC was the United Nations top official. I was thrilled when PC called the next day to request a meeting at his house, which was also in Greenwich, CT, to assist him with his PC. He said he cannot trust anyone with this information. During our first meeting, the subject came up that I was good at computers. I was a Mac, and he was a PC. His PC was a trusted workhorse, but it sometimes resisted his commands. I, on the other hand, thrived in the Apple ecosystem, preferring the seamless interface and creative flair of Mac.
PC greeted me warmly at his elegant Greenwich home, his demeanor admirable. He led me to his study, where a large PC monitor dominated the desk. "I suppose you’re going to tell me to switch to a Mac," he joked. We both laughed, acknowledging the friendly rivalry. PC and Mac became close friends.
I helped PC troubleshoot a few persistent issues, organizing his files and updating his software. Our friendship spanned decades, and throughout this time, I assisted PC with his PC happily during decades of friendship.
Our business discussions began with an in-depth analysis of petroleum but soon blossomed into far-reaching conversations about topics such as admiration for America and our planet, energy infrastructure, global politics, counterterrorism, anti-money laundering, commodities, art, antiques, religion, and humanitarian projects.
For decades, we made it a tradition to meet every Wednesday, either at our favorite Italian restaurant on Greenwich Avenue or at my house. These gatherings were filled with laughter, hard work, and a shared vision for making a positive impact on the world.
During a conference call assisting a group to secure buyers for crude oil, I addressed BB's interest in participating in a petroleum transaction. BB was going to travel to the Middle East to secure a ten-year crude oil sale and purchase agreement. BB was a retired United States high-level intelligence officer.
The petroleum deal discussed during the call was described as exceptionally lucrative, promising BB both a "royal treatment" and financial gains that appeared unusually generous. Throughout the conversations, I noted that the offer seemed "too good to be true." Multiple warning signs and red flags were identified, raising concerns about the legitimacy and safety of the proposed transaction. While BB was initially enticed by the prospect of significant rewards, the presence of numerous red flags underscored the need for caution and further due diligence before any engagement in the petroleum transaction.
I thought it was the last one, a greed trap. When I gave him my honest advice, I did so out of genuine care and a desire to help him avoid foreseeable pitfalls. My warning was serious, intended to highlight risks that I believed were real and consequential. However, instead of considering my perspective, he responded defensively, choosing to rely on his own explanation and disregarding my concerns.

FOOLED BY FUEL
TRUE STORIES
by: Behzad Farahani
During a business gathering at my house in Greenwich, Connecticut, I was introduced to PC, a notable figure whose reputation preceded him. The introduction was facilitated by a European minister of energy, underscoring the global nature of the gathering and the caliber of the attendees. The minister’s presence added a layer of gravitas to the evening, and his endorsement of PC spoke volumes about the latter's credibility and expertise.
The conversation quickly shifted to matters of business, specifically a potential crude oil transaction. The minister referenced PC in connection to this deal, suggesting that PC’s involvement could be pivotal in navigating the complexities of the transaction.

AWARD WINNING MANSIONS
by: Behzad Farahani
I have pioneered the design and construction of the most exquisite and expensive mansions on speculation in the history of the United States particularly in the prestigious area of Greenwich, Connecticut. These mansions were all award-winning projects, recognized for both exceptional design and outstanding craftsmanship.

PERSIA
by: Behzad Farahani
The Persian Empire, under leaders like Cyrus the Great, pioneered the concept of a multicultural state that respected the customs and religions of its diverse subjects. The Cyrus Cylinder, sometimes called the first charter of human rights, emphasized tolerance and respect for different peoples—principles that resonate with modern democratic ideals.
Persia, known today primarily as Iran, is one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations and has profoundly influenced human history and culture. Among its many historical contributions, Persia is widely recognized as the birthplace of Zoroaster.
In many ways, America stands as a culmination of the values and innovations pioneered by the Persians, Greeks, and Romans.

FALSE FABRICATIONS
by: Behzad Farahani
This book is politically incorrect.
The phrase "politically incorrect" often evokes strong reactions. It refers to statements, ideas, or facts that challenge mainstream beliefs, social norms, or accepted narratives. Sometimes, what is labeled as politically incorrect is simply the uncomfortable truth—facts that are easier to ignore than confront. This reflection explores the consequences of ignoring such truths and the responsibility we bear toward future generations. History repeatedly demonstrates that ignoring inconvenient truths can have dire consequences.
With knowledge and resources at our disposal, we have a moral obligation to address the issues we prefer to overlook. This means critically examining our beliefs, questioning established norms, and engaging in honest dialogue about the challenges we face. True progress requires courage—the courage to acknowledge our mistakes, learn from them, and take meaningful action.
Here, you will find a collection of observations, data, and arguments that may not align with mainstream perspectives. The intention is not to offend, but to provoke thought, inspire honest dialogue, and encourage readers to question assumptions. By shining a light on what is frequently ignored, this aims to foster a deeper understanding of the world as it truly is.
Readers are encouraged to approach these pages with an open mind, a critical eye, and a willingness to engage with ideas that may be challenging or unconventional.
The politically incorrect facts we ignore today will become the crises of tomorrow.

PETROLEUM, COAL AND GREEN ENERGY
Corruptions, Politics and Frauds
Excelling in academics has always been a point of pride and motivation for me. As the top student in chemistry, I dedicated myself to understanding the subject in depth and applying my knowledge in practical scenarios. My fascination with chemistry naturally led me to develop a keen interest in the petroleum industry, a field where chemical processes play a crucial role.
At a very early age, I came to an important realization: while high grades in chemical engineering were valuable, they were not the ultimate key to success in the petroleum industry. Through observation and experience, I saw that career advancement and meaningful opportunities often depended on much more than just academic performance.
What truly made a difference was the ability to establish strong relationships with influential individuals—specifically, the ministers and top executives within the petroleum sector. Networking, building trust, and understanding the priorities of industry leaders proved to be essential skills for navigating the complexities of this field.
In reflection, being a top student in chemistry gave me a strong foundation, but my true progress in the petroleum industry has come from cultivating meaningful connections. I now recognize that lasting success is achieved by balancing expertise with the ability to build and maintain professional relationships within the industry.

SPECIES
by: Behzad Farahani
We, who consider ourselves the greatest development this galaxy has ever seen, are unfortunately accountable for the extinction of 150 to 200 species every single day on this precious planet.
Human progress should not come at the expense of other forms of life. While our achievements are impressive, true greatness lies in our ability to coexist with and protect the myriad species that share our planet. By reevaluating our choices and embracing stewardship, we can ensure that Earth remains a place of wonder and diversity for generations to come.
Throughout history, human activities have dramatically altered ecosystems. Deforestation, pollution, and urban sprawl have contributed to the
loss of habitats and the extinction of countless of habitats and the extinction of countless species. While these changes have often been justified in the name of progress, they come with profound consequences. Every species plays a unique role in maintaining the balance of our environment, and their loss can lead to unforeseen and often irreversible repercussions.
The path forward lies in reevaluating our actions and embracing our role as stewards of the planet. By doing so, we can achieve a legacy of progress that honors both humanity and the countless species with whom we share our home.
Yes, commercial whaling is happening in Japan, which resumed the practice in 2019 after withdrawing from the International Whaling Commission (IWC). Japan now hunts in its territorial waters, primarily for minke, Bryde's, and sei whales. The practice is driven by political factors, a desire to uphold whaling as a traditional culture, and ongoing local demand, despite significant international opposition and government subsidies.
