You have to cut Lucrum some slack. He's a genetically challenged descendant of unrepentant slaveholders. He even put himself on ignore when he read an old post of his he disagreed with. I know this list is old, but I hope I have made the cut. Apropos to the thread, the Iranians do not have the right to develop nuclear weapons. Geopolitics and world security is not Pre-K. Sharing is not compulsory. Iran is a terrorist sponser and applies its extremist and genocidal beliefs to its foreign policy practices.
That's the sad reality of genies is , once they are let out 9of the bottle) they are notoriously difficult to be recaptured. Good luck with NK and russia eagerly helping them.
August 28, 2012 SouthAmerica: I understand that neurotic, and warmongering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahu is also a raving lunatic, but by trying to assassinate an American General he has crossed the "red line". ***** Planned war on Iran and the General who said No! - August 22, 2012 http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/08/22/257558/iran-war-and-the-general-who-said-no/ US General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Today, General Dempsey, Chairman of Americaâs Joint Chiefs of Staff, the man who flew to Tel Aviv and informed Netanyahu that America wanted no part of his scheming against Iran was the subject of an assassination attempt in Afghanistan. This wasnât an act of terrorism or Taliban militants. It was a âmob hitâ against someone who failed to kiss the feet of Netanyahu. His response was to unleash killers, not a fact for the public but a fact just the same, one the American military knows very well. Netanyahu has a problem with âhubris.â The culprits, âmilitants,â managed to escape undetected from the most sophisticatedly defended real estate on earth, the perimeter of Bagam Air Force Base. Lucky for them they attacked at night, a time when Americaâs 5th generation night vision, ground radar and other detection systems were mysteriously disabled. The rocket detection systems, early warning blimps with ground penetrating synthetic aperture radar and the continual coverage by UAV drones using infrared detection, $2 billion in technology on this one perimeter alone, cost the plane of Americaâs top military commander and wounds were sustained by two crew members. Dempsey had just left Tel Aviv where he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the following: âI may not know about all of [Israel's] capabilities, but I think that itâs a fair characterization to say that they could delay but not destroy Iranâs nuclear capabilities.â Dempsey then told waiting reporters: âWe compare intelligence, we discuss regional implications, and weâve admitted to each other that our clocks are turning at different rates, we have to understand the Israelis; they live with a constant suspicion with which we do not have to deal.â There are those close to President Obama who donât accept the attack on Dempsey at face value, with a public admission by the Taliban of complicity. Such statements, which would certainly cost dearly in reprisals by the US, are most often found on Internet sites lacking a credible connection to any Islamic source. To some Americans, the attack appears to be a reprisal against Dempsey who, out of coincidence, cited the motive in his own appraisal of Israelâs judgment, their âconstant suspicion.â News agencies buried the failed attack, knowing Dempsey is hated by Netanyahu and respected by the Taliban as both âtruthful and fair.â Netanyahu longs for the days when General Myers held Dempseyâs job, under Bush (43), both flawed and narcissistic, predictable puppets, the perfect fodder for Netanyahuâs machinations. Only two weeks ago, Presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, returned from a trip overseas, coming back to America with $60 million dollars collected in Israel and Britain while accompanied by Casino boss Sheldon Adelson whoâs Las Vegas and China organizations have long been reputed to be the center of worldwide organized crime. The business, gambling, drugs, prostitution, money laundering and now war, is seeking its own president and war on Iran is the only issue driving the American campaign. Romney, as a state governor, was, if anything, to the âleftâ of President Obama. Romneyâs support of government health care and widespread gun controls run totally opposite to the core constituency of the Republican Party, the weapons lobby and the medical racketeers. Romney has found, however, that, though it is illegal for any American candidate to accept money overseas, while overseas, from overseas, at home from those who are citizens of other countries, he feels himself above the law, in the sweet and motherly arms of the Israeli controlled American media. Now drowning in illegal cash, much from London bankers, his most interesting catch was the private dinner he shared with the Tel Aviv âblood diamondâ smugglers who donated up to $25 million dollars in one night. Key to his financial successes is his lifelong history of working closely with organized crime. His investment company, Bain, was funded initially by cash infusion from El Salvador death squads many years ago. These investors are still at his side despite charges of mass murder and corruption. Bain Capital is Romneyâs money laundering and tax avoidance company with thousands of secret bank accounts in âsafe havensâ around the world, invisible billions, hidden transactions, unseen profits and unseen âclients.â Now Romney has found the âmother of all causes,â selling the promise of an American war, fought by Americans, financed by Americans, American dead, American blood, American collapse, a war demanded by, not Jews of the world but by organized crime groups operating through Israelâs Likudist party, dominated by the Koch Brothers, American gasoline speculators, Sheldon Adelson, whose reputation would fill volumes and Rupert Murdoch, whose spy organization is now proven to have blackmailed three consecutive British government, well proven, and likely to have been even more successful in the United States, Germany, Canada, Australia and a dozen other nations. Most embarrassing to both Russia and the United States has been the ability of criminal organizations to secure sanctions against Iran when both nations are burdened by official reports stating with comprehensive clarity that Iran has no nuclear program. Even more embarrassing for Russia, who refused to veto sanctions as they did with Iranâs ally Syria, is the fact that Iranâs peaceful nuclear program is built, in near entirety on Russian technology, a Russian nuclear reactor and 3000 Russian technicians. Statements by Obama directly contradict Americaâs National Intelligence Estimate. The estimate stated that Iran has no nuclear program. Russiaâs Putin has similarly ignored, not just his own intelligence agencies but the fact that Russia is actually building Iranâs reactor and has 3000 technicians in Iran, all of whom probably are not entirely deaf and blind. ...The carefully choreographed and very public attempt on the life of General Dempsey is a greeting card from the Adelson/Romney/Netanyahu camp. Several appropriate responses, RSVPs as it were, come to mind, some partially fatal. Is an American president really the leader of the free world, as we so often say, if any âtwo bit thugâ can dictate policy? ...What drew Adelson, Romney and even Putin to Israel at this critical time as the world sits on the brink of nuclear war over Syria is simple. We are again reminded of Putinâs visit to Israel. No Israeli citizen was spoken to, no public concerns were addressed, no, a visit to Israel is a visit to the âsafe havenâ for worldwide organized crime that controls and manages the vast and endless wealth of the Russian continent as easily as it runs Britain or dances its Washingtonian puppets into discarding laws and traditions and becoming a surrogate bully, not for a nation but for an international criminal conspiracy. The language of politics must be replaced with the language of crime as the solutions to what are misconstrued as political problems are and have long been responses to the depredations of criminal organizations. It isnât as though Iran were the only target, simply the public target where control of the United Nations Security Council can be exercised, a demonstration of the raw power of evil. The mistake made by so many is to use principles of geopolitics to describe the world condition, the continual entropy, the centralization of wealth and the rapid deterioration of human rights as wars rage without end. Even the educated classes, searching for patterns and rationales to explain how 2000 trillion dollars represented by âderivative debtâ could encumber all the worldâs currencies, a staggering amount created by an unseen hand through a process none have yet been able to describe. Debt, or as it is known in criminal circles as âloan sharking,â is the business of the world. Controlling currencies was not enough, thus controlled governments, bribed, threatened, blackmailed and bought looked away while the wealth and hope of a hundred generations was stolen overnight, a few lines of text, a few entries on computers and generations of our progeny are changed, in that moment, from citizens of the world to âuseless eaters,â as Henry Kissinger would describe them. Armies may march, air forces may bomb, drones may attack but none of this is war or politics, nor has it been for centuries. This is where we went awry. We chose to play chess while our opponents simply put a pistol on the table and emptied our pockets. America is living this today, as it looks on an upcoming election. The very few can escape the packaged news, scripted in Hollywood or Washington or Tel Aviv, our political life is a theatrical production, a comic tragedy without the Shakespearean irony. This is a government that Sheldon Adelson, the man who believes he will be Americaâs real next president, believes he can take to war, a systematic conquest of the Middle East and Central Asia, done for the criminal elements some call Israel, done, quite simply, to prove the power of evil over good. .
. September 25, 2012 SouthAmerica: The article said: ""Fundamentally, we do not take seriously threats of the Zionists," said Ahmadinejad. "We believe the Zionists see themselves at a dead end and they want to find an adventure to get out of this dead end. Associated Press â September 25, 2012 âIran's president dismisses threats on nuke programâ By JOHN DANISZEWSKI, Associated Press http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap...dtDUOA?docId=2f12942954494cf0bc82f0f2a35f2226 NEW YORK (AP) â Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday dismissed threats of military action against Iran's nuclear program, arguing that his country's project to enrich uranium is only for peaceful purposes and saying that Iran has no worries about a possible Israeli attack. Ahmadinejad spoke before a group of editors and news executives after his arrival in New York for the annual U.N. General Assembly. He told the group that it was not too late for dialogue with the United States to resolve differences. But in his remarks, Ahmadinejad sought to delegitimize U.S. ally Israel's historic ties to the Middle East and its political and military power in the region and the world, saying that Israelis "do not even enter the equation for Iran." "Fundamentally, we do not take seriously threats of the Zionists," said Ahmadinejad. "We believe the Zionists see themselves at a dead end and they want to find an adventure to get out of this dead end. While we are fully ready to defend ourselves, we do not take these threats seriously." Ahmadinejad declared Israel has no place in the Middle East, saying that Iran has been around for thousands of years while the modern state of Israel has existed only for the last 60 or so years. "They have no roots there in history," he said. ...U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had met with Ahmadinejad on Sunday and "urged Iran to take the measures necessary to build international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program," U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said. The U.N. chief also raised the potentially harmful consequences of inflammatory rhetoric "from various countries in the Middle East," Nesirky said. On other topics in his meeting with editors, Ahmadinejad said that Iran favors a negotiated settlement to the civil war in Syria, and denied that Tehran is providing weapons or training to the government of President Bashar Assad, as Assad's opponents and others have alleged. "We like and love both sides, and we see both sides as brothers," he said. He referred to the conflict in Syria as "tribal" fighting and said that international "meddling from the outside has made the situation even harder." He refused to say whether Iran would accept a government not led by the Assad regime, which for years has been Iran's closest ally in the Middle East. Ahmadinejad met journalists in the mid-town hotel where he was saying. It was Ahmadinejad's eighth visit to the U.N. gathering held each September, which he cited as proof that he is open to understanding other countries' views. In spite of his assertions on the importance of dialogue and respect for others, Ahmadinejad presented a hard line in many areas. He refused to speak of the state of Israel by name and instead referred only to the "Zionists," and when asked about author Salman Rushdie he made no attempt to distance himself from recent renewed threats on the author's life emanating from an Iranian semi-official religious foundation. "If he is in the U.S., you should not broadcast it for his own safety," Ahmadinejad said. He said this would be his last trip to New York as president of Iran, because his term is ending and he is barred from seeking a third consecutive term. But he did not rule out staying active in Iranian politics and said he might return as part of future Iranian delegations to New York. Ahmadinejad said the argument over Iran's nuclear program was a political rather than a legal matter and needs to be resolved politically. "We are not expecting that a 33-year-old problem between America and Iran to be resolved in speedy discussions, but we do believe in dialogue." Later in the day, Ahmadinejad took aim at both the United States and Israel while addressing a high-level U.N. meeting promoting the rule of law, accusing Washington of shielding what he called a nuclear-armed "fake regime." His remarks prompted a walkout by Israel's U.N. Ambassador Ron Prosor. "Ahmadinejad showed again that he not only threatens the future of the Jewish people, he seeks to erase our past," Prosor said in a statement. "Three thousand years of Jewish history illustrate the clear danger of ignoring fanatics like Iran's president, especially as he inches closer to acquiring nuclear weapons." Ahmadinejad also alluded to the amateur anti-Islam video made in the U.S. that has caused protests across the Muslim world, accusing the United States and others of misusing freedom of speech and failing to speak out against the defamation of people's beliefs and "divine prophets." Associated Press writers Matthew Daly in Washington and Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report. *** Note: By the way, as the article said: "Three thousand years of Jewish history illustrate...â Anyway, it is laughable the 3,000 year claim of Jewish history â based on this: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3609085&highlight=Moses#post3609085 ...In 721 BC the Assyrians overrun Israel, disperses the Israelites and takes thousands as slaves. Israel as a nation vanishes. Letâs go back now to the year 721 BC when the Assyrians overruns Israel, disperses the Israelites and takes thousands as slaves. Israel as a nation vanishes. The year 721 BC is the end of old Israel, until Israel it is recreated by the British in 1948. In 721 BC the total world population is estimated to be around 60 million people. Again 75 % of the total (about 45 million people) were living in China and in India â and that leaves about 15 million people scattered around the rest of the world. The Israel that were destroyed in 721 BC had no more than 50,000 people living in that entire area of the world in small villages raging in size from a few hundred people to maybe 2,000 or 3,000 people on the largest cities. Can anyone on his right mind justify the mess in the Middle East based on this story of a very small group of people who happen to have lived a long time ago? .
