The forsaken Gilanshahi of Mazendaran

The full story of the heirs of Uzun Hasan needs to be told. While that of his great grandson Ismail who became the first Safavid Shahanshah is well known, and those of Uzun Hasan’s heirs exiled to Ottoman Turkey are relatively known, those of his Gilanshahi heirs exiled to the Crimean Khanate during the reign of Ismail I, who also exiled his Gilanshahi cousins to Ottoman Turkey, which is my family are not well known. The bare facts are that Menli I allowed those Gilanshahi relatives of Ismail I to reside in exile in the Crimean Khanate, and they were to remain there for centuries until 1783. That year Knyaz Potemkin annexed the Crimean Khanate to the Russian Empire, and in doing so deprived the Giray cousins of the Gilanshahi exiled in the Crimean Khanate of their refuge there. Fortunately, Kaiser Josef II allowed them to settle in Ruthenia, which he had acquired for the Habsburgs in 1772. Eventually Kaiser Franz II/I elevated to the status of ReichFurst, acknowledging their Royal origin from Iran and relation to the Habsburgs with the title Furst DZendran, based on the German word for Mazendaran. In addition to maintaining estates in Ruthenia we also ended up maintaining property in Vienna as a sign of our new status in the Reich. It was the grandson of Kaser Franz, Kaiser Franz Josef, who took a special interest in the Gilanshahi Royals, and in 1859 sent Albert Josef Gasteiger, Freiherr von Ravenstein und Kobach on an expedition to Mazendaran. What was not realized was that the Gilanshahi had been removed from power in Iran in 1736, and those who succeeded in power had mismanaged Iran so poorly that the country was unrecognizable from when the Gilanshahi had ruled, and Gasteiger remained in Iran as a military instructor at Dar-el-Funun to the Qajar Naser ed-Din Shah, thus presenting a distorted view of the Gilanshahi of Mazendaran. Further distortion came in the 1890’s when Anthony hope published his book “The prisoner of Zenda” using the Latin form of DZendran as a title place in the story. This came at a time when khazar ashkenazim jews were impersonating Royalty and the Noble houses of Europe by adopting the surnames of those families as a means of social advancement but also to commit fraud, including forging vital documents. In the Habsburg Empire people who did that had to pay those families for their actions as compensation, and many of those khazar ashkenazim jews kept fleeing to america to avoid those contracts. The book “The prisoner of Zenda” trivialized what my family and other Royal and Noble houses were going through as a result of this, and by using a disclaimer was able to absolve himself of legal liability. The Habsburg defeat in the First World War made things more difficult for the Gilanshahi of Mazendaran, and life under the new Austrian republic saw the loss of privileges and money, and in 1925 it was Furstin Parissa DZendran who brought the Gilanshshi of Mazendaran to ameica, smuggling them illegally into Westchester county New York with the aid of some khazar ashkenazim jews who had wrongly taken our family name, and who would act as surrogate parents. While those khazar ashkenazim jews would help my grandfather and his siblings with food and shelter they also told them that Mazendaran and Iran were the product of a fairy tale, at a time when Iranians were just beginning to come to america, and those stories would have a major impact. The advent of the nazis would present mixed opportunities for the Gilanshahi of Mazendaran, as Parissa would make contact with Walther Wust’s Ahenenerbe organization devoted to uniting the Aryans of the World, while my grandfather’s brothers John and Harry had to enlist in the american military to avoid being deported, while my grandfather Peter I received ecclesiastical sanctuary with the aid of his Godfather’s grandson, King Peter II of Yugoslavia, because of a medical condition which prevented him from serving in the military. Parissa would return to the Reich in August 1939 and was never heard from again. During WWII both John and Harry saw action in various theaters of action, with John being killed in action on 1 July 1944 while on U-Boat patrol where his Godfather, Edward VIII, was in command, while Harry served in the Army Air Force as an OSS operative between Europe and the raj. While serving in the raj he came into contact with richard nelson frye, who wrongly used him as an authority on Iranian culture, which Harry was largely ignorant of, and frye and the OSS made no attempt was made to reunite the Gilanshahi as Wust had only been a middleman between the Gilanshahi and never physically reunited them. Too add insult to injury Harry would be coerced by the OSS and the CIA into being one of the operatives who resettled people displaced by the holocaust as long lost family members, as the nazi final solution to the jews was caused not only by khazar ashkenazim jews impersonating the Royal and Noble houses but because those same jews forged and destroyed vital legal documents to conceal their criminal actions. Because Harry had been stationed to guard vital nazi locations like the Berghof he and other troops with similar assignments were easily blackmailed into this. Harry was able to offset this by using the khazar ashkenazim surrogates who raised him into settling those displaced by the holocaust, however our family still had more problems which those jews would only aggravate our family’s problems. While my grandfather would operate a successful medical practice, and maintain a presence in the musical community via the metropolitan opera guild, as well as in the athletic community, and Harry would be occupied with anti-communist work for the CIA, their sisters had problems. Their eldest sister Anna was wrongly sterilized by a doctor because of her three breasts, and their other sister Helen would marry Mafia wiesguy Joe Tucci, which would soon have a major impact on my family. While Peter I would keep the Mafia at arms length, though still associating with Helen and her children and allowing Joe and his associates to get medical treatment, Joe’s Genovese associates would soon recruit my father David. Though the Mafia would make sure my father would not do anything stupid, after my grandfather’s death on 4 January 1968 my father would fall under the influence of meyer lansky, who Peter I strongly loathed and refused to associate with. It was lansky who got my father to use the family connections at quaker ridge country club to launder money between such high profile people like alan greenspan and arthur sulzberger and the lansky syndicate. Even worse the lansky syndicate would recruit my father as a drug dealer and would use him as a patsy to conceal actions of their operatives. At the end of 1972 my father got tired of being used as a patsy, stole a large amount of money from the lansky syndicate, and contacted the New York state police for help. They transported him north of Albany and to Vermont, beyond the reach of the lansky syndicate. It was also around that time my father’s mother ran afoul of a fortune hunter from port chester, who would use his doing random work for the rockefellers to ingratiate himself with my grandmother and eventually marry her, to the horror of my father and Peter I’s siblings. It was in Vermont in 1978, around the time I was born, that my father came in contact with Artesh Iran soldiers studying at the Norwich military academy where he would begin to learn of his Iranian heritage, which provided an interesting coincidence to restore the Gilanshahi of Mazendaran.
