"For the BBC and AlJazeera to call the Libyan government's response to arsonists, looters, vandals, and now dangerously and overtly armed mobs, a 'massacre,' seems somewhat disingenuous and very similar to their coverage of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;the US-backed mobs that took to the streets in Bangkok in May, 2010...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a title="Veiled tuareg girls with jewels in Ghadames, Libya by Eric Lafforgue, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mytripsmypics/1900356377/"&gt;&lt;img alt="Veiled tuareg girls with jewels in Ghadames, Libya" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2080/1900356377_4bb497a2eb.jpg" width="500" height="356" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Libyans by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/photos/mytripsmypics/" ywaonclickoverride="true"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Eric Lafforgue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;5.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; "The possibility that violence is also being employed by ... &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;foreign agitators&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; cannot be entirely ruled out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;US think-tank Brookings Institute&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; dedicated an entire chapter in their report regarding Iran, to fueling color revolutions and the prospect of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;using military force&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to help counter Iranian security forces...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.

Beria was responsible for the infamous Katyn massacre of captive Polish soldiers and intellectuals. Beria was also in charge of the Gulag prison system that sent millions to oblivion.

At least one hundred Soviet generals were Jewish (cf. Canadian Jewish News, April 19, 1989).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generals who were not themselves Jewish often had Jewish wives. Among these were Marshal Voroshilov, Marshal Bulganin, Marshal Peresypkin and General Pavel Sudoplatov (Sudoplatov assassinated hundreds of Christian leaders including Ukranian Catholic Archbishop Teodor Romzha). This Jewish wife "insurance policy" extended to Politburo members such as Andrei Andreyev and Leonid Brezhnev.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sergei Eisenstein: director of communist propaganda films which depicted Christian peasants (kulaks) as hideous, money-grabbing parasites.

Ehrenburg instigated the Soviet Red Army rape and murder of German civilians. Referring to German women, Ehrenburg gloated to the advancing Red Army troops, "that blonde hag is in for a bad time." In a leaflet addressed to Soviet troops, Ehrenburg wrote: "...the Germans are not human beings...nothing gives us so much joy as German corpses." (Anatol Goldberg, Ilya Ehrenburg, p. 197). Goldberg concedes that Ehrenburg, "...had always disliked the Germans...now that there was a war on he turned his old prejudice into an asset."

Lev Leopold Trepper: Soviet espionage officer.&lt;br /&gt;Bela Kun (Kohen): supreme dictator of Hungary in 1919. Kun was later Stalin's chief terrorist in the Crimea. Kun's eventual successor was Matyas Rakosi, Jewish Communist mass murderer of Christians in Hungary. According to the Jewish Telegraph Agency of May 14, 1997, Jews "...played key roles in ushering Communist rule into Hungary. In fact, during the brutal oppression of the early 1950s, the regime's top five leaders were Jews. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zakharovich Mekhlis: top executioner for Stalin. Henrykas Zimanas: leader of Lithuanian communist terrorists, butcher of Christians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moshe Pijade (sometimes spelled Piade): commander, Yugoslav Communist People's Army. Tito's top butcher of hundreds of thousands of Croatian Christians. Pijade later served as president of the Yugoslav Communist Parliament. At least eighteen generals in the Yugoslav Communist People's Army were Jewish. The Yugoslavian communist party sent massive arms shipments to Jewish fighters in Palestine in the 1940s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In post-war Poland that nation was completely dominated by Jewish communists: the torturer Jacek Rozanski, head of the Secret Police; the Politboro commander Jacob Berman&lt;br /&gt;and commissars Minc, Specht (Olszewski) and Spychalski. These men murdered or deported to Kolyma and the other Arctic death camps, tens of thousands of Catholic Poles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Jewish researcher John Sack, "In 1945 many Poles felt (and not without reason) that Jews ran the Office of State Security...the chief of the Office was Jacob Berman, a Jew, and all or almost all the department heads were Jews." Sack reports that 75% of the officers of the Communist Secret Police in Silesia were Jews. He noted that many Jews in the Communist terror apparatus in Poland changed their names to Polish ones like General Romkowski, Colonel Rozanski, Capt. Studencki and Lt. Jurkowski.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Poland, "...a disproportionate number of Communists were Jews. In 1930, at its peak, 35% of the members of the party were Jewish. In Communist youth organizations, Jewish membership was even higher, while Communists of Jewish origin occupied most of the seats on the central committee. Communism appealed to some Jews because it opposed anti-Semitism more vigorously than any other Polish party...Jewish Communists reached their apogee in the years immediately after World War Two, when the party leadership was totally in the hands of the prewar Communist leadership that abhorred anti-Semitism." (Sheldon Kirshner, The Canadian Jewish News, Nov. 5, 1992, p. 16).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solomon Morel : commandant of a post-war Communist concentration camp for Germans in Poland. Stalin deliberately put Jews in charge of such camps. Morel tortured and murdered thousands of Germans, sometimes with his bare hands (cf. "The Wrath of Solomon," Village Voice, March 30, 1993 and John Sack, An Eye for an Eye). Morel is comfortably esconsed in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lev Davidovich Landau: Stalinist physicist, co-father of the Soviet atomic bomb. Klaus Fuchs: helped steal atomic bomb secrets for Stalin. Ruth Werner: colonel, Red Army GRU intelligence, assisted Fuchs. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg: stole American atomic bomb secrets for Stalin. Morris Cohen (Peter Kroger): assisted the Rosenbergs. Markus Wolf: chief of German Communist Stasi Secret Police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nahum Goldmann: founder, World Jewish Congress, communist propagandist. Rabbi Moses Rosen: agent, Romanian communist party. Victor Rothschild: allegedly top British espionage agent for Stalin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Zborowski: "...considered by historians of Soviet terror operations to have been the most fearsome...(Soviet) spy of all time" (Stephen Schwartz, Forward, Jan. 26, 1996). Zborowski, a medical researcher, murdered a dissident with a poisoned orange at the Soviet-run hospital in Paris. Zborowski was implicated in several other assassinations in 1936 and 1937. In the 1940s worked for both the American Jewish Committee and the KGB. In the 1960s Zborowski worked as a medical researcher at Mount Zion Hospital in San Francisco. He trained numerous psychiatrists and medical specialists in the Bay Area. He died in 1990 (cf. "The Strange Case of Doctor Zborowski and Monsieur Etienne" by Philippe Videlier, in Le Monde Diplomatique, Dec. 1992).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.russians.org/communist.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.russians.org/communist.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;

Three weeks later their bodies were found hanging from a eucalyptus tree...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1948 some 200 British Soldiers and 90 British policemen had been murdered by nationalist terrorist gangs such as Irgun...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;The nationalist ‘fight’ was also extended to acts of terrorism in Britain and against British people and property in Europe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;The terrorist groups Irgun and the Stern Gang (known as Lehi in Hebrew) were active in Britain throughout the late 1940s. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;It is a matter of record, for example, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;there were plans to crash an aircraft into the House of Commons,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and to murder members of the British armed forces.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/TANoIOIwHTI/AAAAAAAAONA/0SkNHX5lHgA/s1600/800px-Houses_of_Parliament.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 230px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477336062255701298" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/TANoIOIwHTI/AAAAAAAAONA/0SkNHX5lHgA/s320/800px-Houses_of_Parliament.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Photo by Arpingstone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;The British Embassy in Rome was bombed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;In November 1944 Lord Moyne was murdered by members of the Stern gang in Cairo and there are reliable reports of the existence of plans to assassinate Government Ministers, including the Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1946 a female agent of Irgun planted a bomb at the Colonial Office in London. According to Commander Leonard Burt of Special Branch this would have “blown the sort of hole that was blown in the King David Hotel”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;It was only by good fortune that a failure of the pocket-watch timer prevented detonation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;Another Irgun terrorist operating in Britain at the time was Monty Harris. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;Harris was sentenced to seven years imprisonment after being convicted of making thermite incendiary bombs on his premises at Gravel Street near Petticoat Lane.

of the $400 million appropriated by the US Congress in the most recent Bush-era regime change legislation targeting Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;"Jundullah is a key part of the US-UK strategy of fomenting ethnic and religious civil war in both Iran and Pakistan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Jundullah is a twofer in this context, since it can help destabilize both sides of the Iran-Pakistan border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;"Baluchistan has special importance because any oil pipeline linking Iran with China must go straight across Baluchistan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Jundullah’s false flag jihad is a means to make sure that strategic pipeline, which would help solve China’s energy problem, is never built.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There is also no doubt that Jundullah functions as an arm of NATO, a kind of irregular warfare asset similar in some ways to the KLA of Kosovo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Rigi is reported by the Iranians to have met with Jop de Hoop Scheffer when he was NATO Secretary General.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Rigi has also met with various NATO generals operating in Afghanistan...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;"The real goal of the US-NATO offensive in Marjah-Helmand is to attack Chinese economic interests in Pakistani Baluchistan, and especially the port of Gwadar, one of China’s largest overseas projects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If the US can push the Taliban into Pakistani Baluchistan and into the area around Gwadar, they will have a pretext for militarization – perhaps through Blackwater mercenaries, who are already operating massively in Pakistan, or perhaps through direct US military involvement in the zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"US jackboots on the ground in Baluchistan would interfere mightily with Chinese economic development plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They would also allow the US to commandeer Gwadar as the home port of a new NATO supply line into southern Afghanistan, allowing the avoidance of the Khyber Pass bottleneck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The US could also use Baluchistan as a springboard for bigger and better terror ops into Iran, electronic surveillance of Iranian activities, and so forth." &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://tarpley.net/2010/02/25/the-battle-for-baluchistan/"&gt;&lt;span

when the Americans announced their intention to re-establish the Fourth Fleet which had been dissolved in 1950, to which Russia responded a year later with a Russian fleet headed by the nuclear cruiser Peter the Great, thus kicking off its first exercise in this region since the end of the Cold War. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q9QtZkT8OBQ&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q9QtZkT8OBQ&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the late 1970s, the U.S. have made tremendous progress in their seismic weapons research and, according to these Russian sources, currently employ devices based on Pulse, Plasma, Electromagnetic and Sonic technology combined with shock wave bombs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report also compares two analogous tests carried out by the U.S. Navy last week: a 6.5 magnitude earthquake that hit the area around the town of Eureka, California, without causing any casualties, and the one in the Caribbean that caused the death of at least 140 thousand innocent people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As indicated in the report, it is "more than likely" that the U.S. Navy had "full knowledge" of the catastrophic damage that this test would potentially inflict on Haiti, which would explain why &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lieutenant General P. K., Military Deputy Commander of U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) had been pre-positioned on the island to oversee the anticipated relief efforts. &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;([&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a id="nb1" class="spip_note" title="Footnotes 1" href="http://www.voltairenet.org/article163626.html#nh1" rev="footnote"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;] Officially, the US forces were pre-positioned around Haiti within the framework of a military exercise simulating ... a humanitarian intervention in Haiti.

Earthquakes identical in depth and linearly on the same fault are caused by induced frequency linear projection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. A coordinated satellite configuration can generate concentrated frequency projections targeting specific points (hippocampus).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. A diagram shows that earthquakes considered to be artificial propagate linearly at the same depth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Location ............ &lt;strong&gt;Date &lt;/strong&gt;............Depth&lt;br /&gt;Venezuela &lt;strong&gt;8 January 2010&lt;/strong&gt; 10 km&lt;br /&gt;Honduras &lt;strong&gt;11 January 2010&lt;/strong&gt; 10 km&lt;br /&gt;Haïti ........&lt;strong&gt;12 January 2010&lt;/strong&gt; 10 km&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A depth of 10 kms was also observed in the case of other replicas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following the earthquake, the Pentagon announced that the hospital ship USNS Comfort, which was anchored in Baltimore, summoned its crew and sailed to Haiti, despite the fact that several days would elapse before its arrival. Nevertheless, Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, announced that the U.S. armed forces were preparing an urgent response to the catastrophe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General Douglas Fraser, Commander-in-Chief of USSOUTHCOM, indicated that Coast Guard and Navy vessels had been dispatched to Haiti, despite their limited cargo of helicopters and material. The super carrier USS Carl Vinson was sent from Virginia with a complete consignment of planes and helicopters. It arrived in Haiti on January 14 in the afternoon, as specified by Fraser who also remarked that additional helicopter groups would be joining the Carl Vinson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;USAID was already on the spot before the earthquake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama was informed about the earthquake on January 12 at 17h52 and ordered emergency services to be provided to the staff of his Embassy and humanitarian assistance to the population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Russian report, the State Department, USAID and the U.S. Southern Command launched their humanitarian invasion by deploying 10000 soldiers and contractors, in lieu of the United Nations, to take control of Haitian territory following the "devastating experimental earthquake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15327130-6190083217893850407?l=iran-persia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iran-persia.blogspot.com/feeds/6190083217893850407/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15327130&amp;postID=6190083217893850407&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15327130/posts/default/6190083217893850407'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15327130/posts/default/6190083217893850407'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iran-persia.blogspot.com/2010/01/usa-to-hit-iran-with-earthquakes.html' title='USA TO HIT IRAN WITH EARTHQUAKES'/><author><name>Anon</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/S1s4_1BhhgI/AAAAAAAAMno/6ms_G_3iwbY/s72-c/Keen.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15327130.post-2868094654247047418</id><published>2009-12-28T02:39:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-28T02:39:58.725-08:00</updated><title type='text'>CHANGE IS COMING TO IRAN</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SziBL0GMMKI/AAAAAAAAMNg/HaYRgiiIG_A/s1600-h/Lewis.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 290px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420224191503544482" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SziBL0GMMKI/AAAAAAAAMNg/HaYRgiiIG_A/s400/Lewis.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;em&gt; Bernard Lewis, the man who decides the fate of Iran.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SziAkrYrfJI/AAAAAAAAMNI/N6ASajLW1lU/s1600-h/BernardLewisMap.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It looks as if the CIA is going to bring about big changes in Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran contains Persians, Arabs, Azeris, Kurds, Turkmens, Baluchies and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It looks as if Iran is to be broken up, to make it easier to control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Professor Bernard Lewis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, at the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Bilderberg Meeting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in Baden, Austria, on April 27-29, 1979&lt;a title="" href="http://www.rozanehmagazine.com/NoveDec05/AZPartVI.html#_edn1" name="_ednref1"&gt;[i]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="" href="http://www.rozanehmagazine.com/NoveDec05/AZPartVI.html#_edn2" name="_ednref2"&gt;[ii]&lt;/a&gt; "proposed the fragmentation and balkanization of Iran along regional, ethnic and linguistic lines."

Until late last month, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;the family had a stake amounting to two million dollars in the Washington-based Carlyle Group, a private equity firm with a large interest in defense contracting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Carlyle Group is known for its politically connected executives such as &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;former President George H. W. Bush, former Secretary of State James Baker, and former British Prime Minister John Major.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;In the nineteen-nineties, &lt;strong&gt;both &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Bush and Baker visited the bin Laden family&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; when they were prospecting for business in Saudi Arabia. The chairman of the firm is former Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci, who has been a trusted friend of the current Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, since their days on the Princeton wrestling team...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The family continues to have a stake, estimated by one source at about ten million dollars, in the Fremont Group, a private investment company, on whose board of directors sits another &lt;strong&gt;former Secretary of State, &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;George Shultz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much of the family's private banking is handled by Citigroup, which is chaired by former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. The family has equity investments with Merrill Lynch and Goldman, Sachs. Among the family's business partners is &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;General Electric&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; A spokesman for Jack Welch, the chairman of G.E., says that the family threw a party for him in the nineteen-nineties in Saudi Arabia, and that Welch "considers them good business partners."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One American diplomat says, "You talk about your global investors, it's them. They own part of Microsoft, Boeing, and who knows what else." Others note that the family has been awarded contracts to help rebuild American military installations, including the Khobar Towers, which were damaged in a terrorist attack that killed nineteen servicemen in 1996. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;9.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Osama bin Laden in an American hospital just before 9 11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;From:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/Bin-Laden-Met-CIA.htm"&gt;http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/Bin-Laden-Met-CIA.htm&lt;/a&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;According to information's collected by&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/Bin-Laden-Met-CIA.htm#1"&gt;Le Figaro&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/Bin-Laden-Met-CIA.htm#2"&gt;Radio France International&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Osama Bin Laden met with an American CIA agent in July 2001 while he was being treated for a kidney ailment at the American Hospital of Dubai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;"The billionaire Saudi Bin Laden visited the American Hospital of Dubaï from July 4 to July 14th, two months before the attacks of September 11, confirmed by sources close to European services of information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He was accompanied by his personal doctor and faithful lieutenant, Egyptian Ayman Al-Zawahari, a male nurse and four bodyguards. Bin Laden suffers from a renal infection which is propagated with the liver and requires specialized care. Doctor Terry Callaway at The American Hospital of Dubai is known for the specialized treatment of such ailments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"During his hospitalization, Osama bin Laden was visited by several members of his family, and on July 12th the local representative of the CIA, that many people know in Dubaï, was seen going into his room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A few days later, shortly after Ben Laden left for Quetta with a new kidney dialysis machine, the CIA agent bragged to friends about visiting the billionaire saudi and was subsequently recalled to the USA on July 15th."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;A scientist from Israel admitted to harvesting organs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pennyforyourthoughts2.blogspot.com/2009/12/israel-and-business-of-organ-harvesting.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Israel and the business of organ harvesting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="ORGANGATE - Israeli Organ Trafficking and Theft: From Moldova to Palestine" href="http://www.wrmea.com/component/content/article/321-2009-november/6602-israeli-organ-trafficking-and-theft-from-moldova-to-palestine.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;ORGANGATE - Israeli Organ Trafficking and Theft: From Moldova to Palestine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Cocaine Rabbi Goes Scott Free" href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2776283/Coke-den-rabbi-is-spared-jail.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Cocaine Rabbi Goes Scott Free&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Iran nuclear report a forgery, says president" href="http://www.nation.co.ke/News/world/-/1068/829306/-/u2i547/-/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Iran nuclear report a forgery, says president&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="'Plane" href="http://milfuegos.blogspot.com/2009/12/georgian-north-korean-arms-transport.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Plane full of "Iranian" weapons seized by the Thais linked to known CIA sting operation!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IRAN: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="usg-AFQjCNEidULToL7T8WS49qWtfO1uwuFVlA sig2-SMfdydyQGZWElh8jTqQpOg  _tracked" href="http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=114434&amp;amp;sectionid=351020101" target="_self"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'The world wants nuclear disarmament'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15327130-2740429626411062757?l=iran-persia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iran-persia.blogspot.com/feeds/2740429626411062757/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15327130&amp;postID=2740429626411062757&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15327130/posts/default/2740429626411062757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15327130/posts/default/2740429626411062757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iran-persia.blogspot.com/2009/12/osamas-family-iran.html' title='OSAMA&apos;S FAMILY;

Democratia, No. 36, 24-30 Sept. 1990&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;)&lt;/em&gt; describes how the CIA and KGB organised the fall of Ceausescu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reportedly, key figures in the revolt were working for the CIA and KGB, including Militaru (allegedly a KGB-CIA double agent) and the former Securitate officer and adviser to Ceausescu, Dumitru Mazilu (allegedly a CIA agent), and Silviu Brucan (allegedly both a CIA and KGB agent). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reportedly, just before the revolt, there were 'massive arrivals of so-called Hungarian tourists in Timisoara and Soviet tourists in Cluj'.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; What about the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Philippines&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;By the mid 1980s, the CIA had decided that Marcos was no longer the person to run the Philippines. The CIA wanted someone more 'popular'. So a People Power movement was used to replace Marcos with Aquino. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Indonesia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; provides the best example of CIA-organised People Power.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;At some point in the 1990s Suharto was seen by some Americans as having become too powerful and too independent minded. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suharto was giving too many business contracts to his family and Chinese-Indonesian cronies, rather than to American companies like Ford.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some people in the Pentagon considered the possibility of having a general such as Prabowo or Wiranto or Yuhhoyono take over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In order to topple Suharto there would need to be riots.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Indonesia, in the years 1997- 1998, there were riots in various parts of Indonesia. Some riots looked spontaneous and some looked as if they had been planned.

Netanyahu has been to Jordan and Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has said that Iran's nuclear program is dangerous for the region and that Israel is ready to cooperate with the Arab world to solve this problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He wants an Arab-Jewish anti-Iranian union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The Secretary General of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, stated that it is nuclear-armed Israel that presents a threat to the Arab world nuclear view, not Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why has the nuclear program [Iran] become the subject of debate, but nobody protests against Israel's nuclear program?" Amr Moussa asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;3.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; However, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia are concerned about Shiite Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Jordan is concerned about the establishment of the "Shiite crescent", which could include Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iraq has fallen under Iran's influence and in Iraq the "Mehdi Army" has fought against the coalition forces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shiites gained a majority in the parliamentary elections in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;5.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The armed clash between local Shiites and government forces in Yemen in 2009 has forced the traditional Sunni Arab countries to think of the serious danger in the face of "Shiite crescent."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;6.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Saudi Arabia worries about Hezbollah in Lebanon. In 2006, during the 34-day war between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah, one of the best-known scholars of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah ibn al- Jibrin banned not only assistance, but also prayer for Hezbollah's victory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;7.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; In late 2008, during Israeli operations in Gaza, Iran and Hezbollah did not give military support to Hamas, but they gave moral support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;8.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Iran has great prestige among the Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some Shiites in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen and UAE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shiites live in the regions rich in oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;9.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has always had close ties with Iran and Shiite Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;10.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Turkey, Israel's closest ally in the Middle East, has become less close to Israel, as can be seen from Erdogan's speech at Davos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15327130-5940289875695483767?l=iran-persia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iran-persia.blogspot.com/feeds/5940289875695483767/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15327130&amp;postID=5940289875695483767&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15327130/posts/default/5940289875695483767'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15327130/posts/default/5940289875695483767'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iran-persia.blogspot.com/2009/06/arab-israeli-alliance.html' title='ARAB-ISRAELI ALLIANCE?'/><author><name>Anon</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/Shl_dZQtNqI/AAAAAAAAJao/PZ9_hXkch_E/s72-c/05_Middle-East%2520Map%2520of%2520Nation%2520States.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15327130.post-8257571007134516161</id><published>2009-05-17T08:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-17T11:22:01.229-07:00</updated><title type='text'>OBAMA'S PROBLEM WITH GAS</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/Sg_z8j2fxnI/AAAAAAAAJUk/c660T8JQzEQ/s1600-h/barack_obama2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336752305198843506" style="DISPLAY: block;

The Afghan War is about energy, heroin and military bases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The USA would like to control the energy-rich former Soviet republics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The USA wants to split Russia and China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Afghanistan occupies a strategically important position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afghanistan is believed to be rich in natural gas, petroleum, coal, copper, chrome, talc, barites, sulfur, lead, zinc, and iron ore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The heroin trade in Afghanistan uses U.S. dollars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afghan heroin kills 30,000 Russians annually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, and India signed an agreement to build a pipeline (TAPI) to take gas from Turkmenistan to Pakistan and India without the involvement of either Iran or Russia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would cut through Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;9.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; TAPI’s rival is IPI (India, Pakistan,Iran).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TAPI’s history begins in the mid-1990s, in the Clinton era, when the Taliban were friends of Clinton and the California-based energy company Unocal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brzezinski and Kissinger took an interest in the idea of an Afghan pipeline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The negotiations with the Taliban broke down over the subject of pipeline fees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a Group of Eight summit meeting in Genoa in July 2001.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that meeting, western diplomats indicated that Bush had decided to attack the Taliban before the end of 2001.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 9 11, 2001, Bush had his excuse for war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afghanistan's new leader Karzai, Pakistani President Musharraf and Turkmenistan’s Nyazov agreed to build a pipeline through Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;10.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; In 2006, Russia's Gazprom agreed to buy Turkmenistan's natural gas at the 40% mark-up asked for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turkmenistan left the Afghan pipeline project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Russia also cornered much of the gas exports of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; In 2008, Turkmenistan discovered new gas and found it had the second largest gas reserves in the world, ahead of Iran and below Russia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without Turkmen gas, Gazprom can’t export all it needs to Europe, the source of 70% of Gazprom’s profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turkmenistan had signed contracts to supply Russia (and China and Iran).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gazprom thought it controlled all of Turkmenistan’s gas exports, but, the newly discovered gas turns out not to be part of the deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;12.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Obama is working hard to win over Turkmenistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama wants the TAPI pipeline (Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he also wants the Turkey-to-Austria Nabucco pipeline to thwart Gazprom. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/Sg_n1GopFvI/AAAAAAAAJUE/3W6CGcMZZ8o/s1600-h/oil-TAPI-pipeline.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/Sg_n1DeWEvI/AAAAAAAAJT8/oaOwxnM-yIU/s1600-h/nabucco.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336738982108992242" style="DISPLAY: block;

In March 2009, a pipeline supplying gas to parts of Pakistan was blown up. This raises doubts about the safety of a future pipeline bringing Iranian gas to India via Pakistan (IPI). Balochistan is increasingly troubled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In April 2009, in Turkmenistan, an explosion hit a pipeline and damaged exports to Russia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brzezinski still wants a pipeline through Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;14.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; If Turkmenistan decides to support TAPI, a pipeline through Afghanistan, the USA may have to become friends with the Taliban.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, at present, Russia is still in the strongest position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;15.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Gwadar is a port in Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was built by China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China hopes to get oil from Iran, via a TAPI pipeline, and Gwadar is to be part of the link.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pakistan could help take Iranian gas to China, or Turkmenistan gas to Europe. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/Sg-0wF8yNpI/AAAAAAAAJTc/1Zk3D29gdrI/s1600-h/PLmap400.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336682821781173906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 291px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/Sg-0wF8yNpI/AAAAAAAAJTc/1Zk3D29gdrI/s400/PLmap400.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s NATO vs. the SCO (Russia, China).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;With TAPI (Turkmenistan Afghanistan Pakistan India), Iran loses and the USA is happy. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With IPI (India Pakistan Iran), the USA is unhappy. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the Nabucco (Turkey to Austria) pipeline is abandoned, the USA is unhappy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15327130-8257571007134516161?l=iran-persia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iran-persia.blogspot.com/feeds/8257571007134516161/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15327130&amp;postID=8257571007134516161&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15327130/posts/default/8257571007134516161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15327130/posts/default/8257571007134516161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iran-persia.blogspot.com/2009/05/obamas-problem-with-gas.html' title='OBAMA&apos;S PROBLEM WITH GAS'/><author><name>Anon</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/Sg_z8j2fxnI/AAAAAAAAJUk/c660T8JQzEQ/s72-c/barack_obama2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15327130.post-6817247614160394976</id><published>2009-04-21T11:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-21T11:49:08.292-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Racism Conference</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SezoUgLwXNI/AAAAAAAAI_I/YwLZdWYGxmE/s1600-h/ahmadinejad.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326887898206723282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 352px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SezoUgLwXNI/AAAAAAAAI_I/YwLZdWYGxmE/s400/ahmadinejad.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Who are these people?

March 2009, the US Defense Department modified comments made by Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on Iran's atomic program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 1 March 2009, Mullen had said that Iran had enough nuclear material to make a bomb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 2 March 2009, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters that Mullen was referring to the amount of low-enriched uranium produced by Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This low-enriched uranium would have to be enhanced to weapons-grade uranium to be used in a nuclear bomb.

Egypt tried to maintain the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Egypt warned Hamas not to resume the firing of missiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamas wrongly believed that any invasion would last no more than 3 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; There has been a well orchestrated propaganda campaign against Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It began when the Iranian "masses" attacked the Egyptian Embassy in Tehran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anti-Egyptian slogans were shouted in Damascus, Beirut and other capitals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;3.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza is of key importance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Egypt sustained the movement of food and medicine across that border, sometimes with Israel's cooperation but more often in defiance of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yet Hamas kept up its attack on Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It staged a mass breakthrough into Egyptian territory, it boycotted the signing of a reconciliation agreement with Fatah and then started a war that could not have been more poorly planned and timed, coming when the Palestinian rift was at its most fraught."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; During the Israeli attack, Egypt was the only country to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;1.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; actively campaign for a ceasefire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; furnish aid to the Palestinians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;3.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; push for the passage and subsequent implementation of a Security Council resolution and ceasefire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

How did the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood react to all this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They joined anti-Egyptian demonstrators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Brotherhood did not call upon Tehran to launch any of its long-range missiles during the battle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nor did it urge Syria or Hizbullah to open a second front, even though portions of their territory remain occupied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nor did it suggest that Turkey sever diplomatic relations with Israel and stop sending it spare parts for its war planes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="l" onmousedown="return rwt(this,'','','res','1','AFQjCNHme1My2D4HE4yCuWsppq7bK6fR8Q','&amp;amp;sig2=Y3B76FBQ7m4WKCecNPKUwg')" href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&amp;amp;source=web&amp;amp;ct=res&amp;amp;cd=1&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Faangirfan.blogspot.com%2F2008%2F02%2Fwill-cia-topple-egypts-mubarak.html&amp;amp;ei=Pp2ZSdeJEdWW_gbsyqiCCg&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNHme1My2D4HE4yCuWsppq7bK6fR8Q&amp;amp;sig2=Y3B76FBQ7m4WKCecNPKUwg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;aangirfan: Will the CIA topple Egypt's Mubarak?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15327130-2099837283054700944?l=iran-persia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iran-persia.blogspot.com/feeds/2099837283054700944/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15327130&amp;postID=2099837283054700944&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15327130/posts/default/2099837283054700944'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15327130/posts/default/2099837283054700944'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iran-persia.blogspot.com/2009/02/muslim-brotherhood-egypt-gaza.html' title='The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt, Gaza'/><author><name>Anon</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SZmd0EmExtI/AAAAAAAAIaM/g0xLxBfTh7o/s72-c/0+Mubarak.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15327130.post-2146924829836020850</id><published>2009-01-27T12:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T12:40:00.855-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama on Arab TV</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SX7D2BKTM3I/AAAAAAAAIH0/-_skaHtpPKE/s1600-h/2380554605_45ecda9052_o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295885544626271090" style="DISPLAY: block;

LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AL ARAB: Absolutely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRESIDENT OBAMA: I do think that it is impossible for us to think only in terms of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and not think in terms of what's happening with Syria or Iran or Lebanon or Afghanistan and Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need Afghanistan for its heroin, as the profits from heroin get invested on Wall Street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, we are happy to ally with Iran, while we start to destroy Pakistan or Lebanon or Syria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AL ARAB: There will be no Palestinian state?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRESIDENT OBAMA: I'm not going to put a time frame on it. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is a child in the Palestinian Territories going to be better off?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have the children in Iraq been having a wonderful time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SX7JXey1MlI/AAAAAAAAIH8/E3ROsedFRvA/s1600-h/bush2obama.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295891617074721362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 96px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SX7JXey1MlI/AAAAAAAAIH8/E3ROsedFRvA/s400/bush2obama.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;photo: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://incogman.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/tactics-i-one-on-one-basics/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Incog Man&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AL ARAB: Absolutely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are planning to address the Muslim world in your first 100 days from a Muslim capital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How concerned are you – there is a demonization of America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRESIDENT OBAMA: Absolutely. We are demons. Look at Vietnam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AL ARABIYA: Al Zawahiri and Osama bin Laden?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I think that when you look at the rhetoric that they've been used to help get me into office .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We finance and control all these fundamentalist groups, like the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AL ARAB: I know, I know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRESIDENT OBAMA: There's no action that these al Qaeda guys have taken that helps a child in the Muslim world to get a better education, or better health care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's how we like it. We put the Ayatollahs into power to keep Iran backward and feudal, and to act as a tool against Russia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my inauguration speech, I spoke about: You will be judged on what you've built, not what you've destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what the USA has been doing is destroying things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We try to destroy all rival powers.

A secretive U.S. eavesdropping agency monitored telephone conversations. But, the Germans weren't told about it – and when they asked Washington for further information, none was forthcoming. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;There was already a $2 million reward for Mohammed in 1998. In 2000, the CIA monitered his presence at an al Qaeda meeting, yet they didn't arrest him.

So, reportedly, the CIA allowed the Ayatollahs to take over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Radio Free Iran claimed that while at Qom, the Ayatollah Khomeini received a "monthly stipend from the British, and he is in constant contact with his masters, the British."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="l" onmousedown="return clk(this.href,'','','res','1','')" href="http://www.redmoonrising.com/Ikhwan/BritIslam.htm"&gt;The British, Muslim Terrorism and September 11&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SQiy_H2UywI/AAAAAAAAGOQ/4SnPQ7vGR58/s1600-h/Mohammad_Pahlavi_Coronation.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262652962090830594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NE-72ZXux-g/SQiy_H2UywI/AAAAAAAAGOQ/4SnPQ7vGR58/s400/Mohammad_Pahlavi_Coronation.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Shah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 19 January 1980, the International Herald Tribune reported that the Shah had said, two years before he was overthrown, that he had heard from two different sources connected with oil companies that the regime in Iran would change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;‘We believe that there was a plan to ensure less oil was offered to the world markets in order to bring about a price,’ &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;said the Shah.&lt;/span&gt; ‘One country was to be chosen for the sacrifice...

This worried the CIA and MI6.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The Shah bought land from the upper classes and, along with the crown's own land, sold it back cheaply to tenant farmers. Over one a half million people to became land owners, thus ending the old feudal system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.The Shah allowed women the right to vote. He brought an end to the wearing of the veil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. He developed plans for a $90 billion nuclear power program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The Shah signed petroleum agreements with ENI, the Italian oil company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. He began to close down the opium industry.

Dr Coleman is sometimes described as being a conspiracy theorist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coleman believes that the US government toppled the Shah of Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He writes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Why was the Shah deposed...? In a word, because of DRUGS. The Shah had clamped down and virtually put an end to the immensely lucrative opium trade being conducted out of Iran by the British. At the time that the Shah took over in Iran, there were already one million opium/heroin addicts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;This the British would not tolerate, so they sent the United States to do their dirty work for them in terms of the “special relationship” between the two countries. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;When Khomeini took over the U.S. Embassy in Teheran, arms sales by the United States, which had begun with the Shah, were not discontinued...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;After 1984, Khomeini’s liberal attitude toward opium had increased the number of addicts to 2 million, according to United Nations and World Health Organization statistics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Both President Carter and his successor, Ronald Reagan, willingly and with full knowledge of what was at stake, went on supplying arms to Iran even while American hostages languished in captivity... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;The arms trade with Iran was sealed at a meeting between Cyrus Vance... and Dr. Hashemi, which resulted in the U.S. Air Force beginning an immediate airlift of arms to Iran, carried on even at the height of the hostage crisis the arms came from U.S. Army stockpiles in Germany and some were even flown directly from the United States with refueling stops at the Azores.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;With the advent of Khomeini... opium production skyrocketed. By 1984 Iran’s opium production exceeded 650 metric tons of opium per annum.... Iran presently rivals the Golden Triangle in the volume of opium produced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The role of the Moslem Brotherhood and the Ayatollahs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is taken from &lt;a href="http://www.redmoonrising.com/Ikhwan/BritIslam.htm"&gt;http://www.redmoonrising.com/Ikhwan/BritIslam.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;(Sources used in the article: The Biography of Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh, jebhemelli.org&lt;br /&gt;Killing Hope - U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II, William Blum, 1995&lt;br /&gt;MI6 - Inside the Covert World of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service, Stephen Dorril, 2000)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Prior to World War II, British Intelligence cultivated ties with the Brotherhood through agent Freya Stark, the British adventurer and writer... The Muslim Brotherhood spread throughout the Muslim world and has evolved into something like a Muslim equivalent of the West's Masonic brotherhood...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"According to CIA agent Miles Copeland, the Americans began looking for a Muslim Billy Graham around 1955... When finding or creating a Muslim Billy Graham proved elusive, the CIA began to cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim mass organization founded in Egypt but with followers throughout the Arab Middle East... This signalled the beginning of an alliance between the traditional regimes and mass Islamic movements against Nasser and other secular forces."&lt;/em&gt; (Blum)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most noteworthy success of the Islamic movement during this time was of course the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and the installation of the Ayatollah Khomeini as the Islamic dictator. British Intelligence had used their contacts with Iran's mullahs and ayatollahs to help overthrow Mossadegh and install the Shah back in 1953, and these contacts were maintained and used again to overthrow the Shah when his regime fell out of favor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Establishment history of Iran's Islamic Revolution is that Khomeini's revolt was spontaneous and populist, and that it overthrew a repressive dictatorship that was hated by the people but supported wholeheartedly by the United States. It is true that the Shah's government was not a democracy and that his secret service, trained by the CIA, was one of the most effective intelligence organizations in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what is not reported is that prior to the British-sponsored massive public relations campaign on behalf of the Ayatollah the government of the Shah was loved by the vast majority of the population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After taking over from Mossadegh the Shah began to push forward a number of nationalist policies that increased his popularity at home but, in some cases, worried the Anglo-American Establishment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, he signed petroleum agreements with ENI, the Italian oil company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then in 1963 he pushed forward on a series of popular reforms that became known as the White Revolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Shah evolved into a nationalist whose path paralleled that of Nasser far too much for the Establishment's liking:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- He bought land from the upper classes and, along with the crown's own land, sold it back cheaply to tenant farmers, allowing over one a half million people to become land owners and ending the old feudal system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- He allowed women the right to vote, and brought an end to the wearing of the veil, which were "Westernizing" moves unwelcomed by the religious sector.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- He pushed forward on a $90 billion nuclear power program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- He moved to shut down the lucrative opium industry that had been created during the days of British Empire control that had been running for a hundred years....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The attack on the Shah's government came through the Muslim Brotherhood and through the mullahs and ayatollahs of Iran, supported and manipulated by British Intelligence...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. John Coleman, a former British Intelligence agent... states in his report on Iran's Islamic Revolution (11) that the Muslim Brotherhood was created by "the great names of British Middle East intelligence" ...and that their mission was to "keep the Middle East backward so that its natural resource, oil, could continue to be looted..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Coleman writes that in 1980 the broadcasts of Radio Free Iran divided the enemies of the Shah into four categories: 1. Iranian politicians bought by the Israeli Shin Bet, 2. The CIA's network of agents, 3. The feudal landowners, 4. The Freemasons and the Muslim Brotherhood (viewed as the same enemy).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his report Dr. Coleman writes that in Iran, "At one time there was even a joke about the mullahs being stamped 'made in Britain.'" When the Shah introduced his plan for modernization in 1963 the Ayatollah Khomeini emerged as the leader of the religious opposition. Up until his exile from Iran in 1964, Khomeini was based at the religious city of Qom. Dr. Coleman relates that Radio Free Iran claimed that while at Qom Khomeini received a "monthly stipend from the British, and he is in constant contact with his masters, the British."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source &lt;a href="http://www.redmoonrising.com/Ikhwan/BritIslam.htm"&gt;http://www.redmoonrising.com/Ikhwan/BritIslam.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;On February 1st, 1979, two weeks after the Shah's departure, Khomeini made a triumphant return to Iran.

They want the original investigation restarted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are certain questions that The Guardian does not ask:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Are the Israelis trying to stop UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Is the US arms industry trying to halt UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. If there is a terror attack in London, is it likely that the British Security services or the Saudi security services will know more about it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Was the fraud investigation halted, not because of any fears of terrorism, but because of a wish to continue profitable arms deals?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~ &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15327130-5379525735887998292?l=iran-persia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel
