American agreements not worth their paper

Obama is America's latest rogue leader. He's a serial liar. His word isn't his bond. James Petras asked if the so-called "historic (Geneva) breakthrough" was real or a mirage.

The Big Lie about an Iranian nuclear threat persists. It's fake. It's a red herring. US intelligence reports say so.

It's common knowledge in Washington. It doesn't matter. Congressional Iran bashing continues. So do punitive administration actions. More on that below.

Petras said Geneva ostensibly "is directed toward undermining Iran's potential 'capacity' to have a nuclear program: there are no weapons to destroy, no weapons plans exist, no war plans exist and there are no strategic offensive military operations on the Iranian 'drawing board.' "

"We know this because repeated US intelligence reports" say so.

"So the entire current negotiations are over weakening Iran's ongoing peaceful, legal nuclear program..."

Iran would take ‘proper measures’ against any heedless action

n recent few days, some heedless actions by the US Treasury and government had triggered our response. Negotiations and hammering out a deal is difficult task. We had predicted this from the first day.

Iran’s negotiation team left Vienna expert-level talks in response to recent sanctions enacted by the US Treasury and Secretary of State. The US and western countries Iranians left the talks to get advice from Tehran. Iran’s foreign ministry believes the US actions violate the spirit of the Geneva deal.

ABC wags the Robert Levinson to demonize Iran

Robert Levinson Missing in Iran, State Department Weighs In

Webmaster's Commentary: 

ABC is flogging the anti-Iran propaganda as hard as they can, emphasizing that Levinson is a father, has left three poor traumatized children behind, etc.

Of course, the facts are a bit less one-sided. Levinson was former(?) FBI apparently in Iran as a NOC spy for the CIA on what the CIA is saying was an "unofficial" mission. When you are a spy in another nation bad things happen to you (unless you are an Israeli spy in the United States in which case you get sent home). As it turns out, Ap knew that Levinson was working for CIA three years ago and buried the story, but it is obviously being revived and wagged now as part of the campaign to convince you that we simply MUST allow the US Government to send our children into yet another country that dares sell their oil for currencies other than the dollar, and worse, refuses private central banking!

The Houthis and outside assistance: Is Iran playing games in Yemen?

Yemen, often the battle ground for proxy wars in the region, is no stranger to accusations that Iran funnels money into the country to fund a group known as the Houthis. The Houthis are Zaidi Shi’ites who have battled the government for power in Sa’ada governorate for almost a decade. In March 2011 during Yemen’s popular uprising, the governor of Sa’ada fled and the Houthis took control of the area.

The group, often termed ‘rebels’ and ‘militants’, are controversial internationally for their anti-American and anti-Israel slogan.

However, they have growing political clout. The Houthis have made a name for themselves under their political wing called Ansar Allah at Yemen’s National Dialogue Conference (NDC), where their delegates sit side by side with the nation’s major political players, hammering out a plan for Yemen’s future.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

More Iran bashing, I see.

And if the Houthis do not hold a particularly positive sentiment for the government of the US and Israel, there are plenty of very logical reasons as to why this may be the case. In no way do I ever advocate or condone violence of any kind, but I can understand, at least, why these people are angry.

Let's start with the plight of the Palestinians, who are regularly harrassed and mistreated, even to the point of death, by the IDF and illegal settlers. Let's talk about the massive uptick in brisk annexations of homes in which Palestinian families have lived for generations, and the massive buildings of illegal settlements in the West Bank.

Let's talk about the open-air prison which is Gaza, and the fact that sick Gazans more and more don't have medications for treatment, and are denied access to care at Israeli-only hospitals in massive numbers.

Let's talk about the reality that 21st century Israel has become a wretchedly apartheid theocracy, with nuclear weapons.

Let's continue to talk the US government's pathologically, and continually, turning a blind eye against this bad behaviour.

Let's continue to talk about the US government having supported the previous, and infamously corrupt, Yemenite dictator, Al-Saleh, until he was run out of town on a rail by angry Yemenites.

Let's continue to talk about the US supporting the current, and infamously corrupt dictator of Yemen, Al-Hadi, the only guy who had his name on the ballot in Yemen's last alleged "election".

Let's continue to talk about the reality that the US chooses to pour hot, flaming death on the Yemenite people in the form of extrajudicial assassinations via drone strikes. These are the most ham-fistedly, pig-headedly counterproductive actions the US government could do in Yemen right now.

Let's continue with the reality that under Al-Hadi, the lot of ordinary Yemenite citizens hasn't improved one bit. The rates of poverty, low education, corruption, and unemployment are still stunningly abysmal, under the new regime, which is thoroughly backed by the US government, even to the point of military intervention against Al-Hadi's own people.

Hatred doesn't happen for absolutely no reason: hatred has its reasons, and as I have outline above, if the Houthis don't particularly like the US or Israel, there are very logical reasons for this.

What the US government should be doing Yemen right now is the following:

1. Stop the drone strikes immediately.
2. Insure that whatever civilian supplies, like food or medicine, the US government donates actually get to where they aresupposed to go, and are not given to al-Hadi's henchmen, to be sold on the black market.
3. Encourage a public-private partnership between the Yemenite government and other private corporations for the building of insfrastructure; schools, hospitals, and roads, providing some desperately needed jobs for the Yemenite people.
4. Train Yemenite teachers and medical professionals so that they can educate, and heal, their people.
5. Demand of the Israeli government that they allow for a Palestine to exist, along side it, both countries trading, and profiting. If Israel refuses, yank all US military and financial aid from it, (which is illegal under the Symington Amendment, anyway, as Israel is nuclear-armed, but refuses to become a signatory to the NNPT, and refuses to allow its nuclear sites to be inspected).

Of course, all of the above is...logical. And unfortunately, logic, and US foreign policy, have not had a good, on-going relationship in quite some time: that is one of the reasons this country is in such a mess internationally.

I look forward to the day when the US government is perceived geopolitically as the "good guy", really caring about democracy and human rights, and standing up for them, both at home and abroad; unfortunately, I don't expect to see this happen in my lifetime.

Americans Divided Over Iran Deal

The latest United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll found a narrow plurality, 48 percent, said they support easing sanctions in exchange for Iran halting its nuclear weapons program for six months. They embraced the goal of giving the United States and others time to craft a permanent nuclear pact with the rogue nation.

At the same time, nearly as many, 45 percent, said the United States now should impose additional sanctions on Iran—even though the White House and others say such a move would cripple the nascent talks.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

This appears to be another fifty-fifty manufactured poll to make the issue seem undecided. Let's double-check that.

Iran-US Interim Agreement: Historic Breakthrough or Historic Sellout?

Dr. James Petras writes:
The recent interim accord between the six world powers and Iran has been hailed as an “historic breakthrough”. But repeated US intelligence reports have told us that no weapons programs exist! Given the fact that Iran is not a ‘nuclear threat’, now or in the past, and given that the US, European and Israeli leaders know this, why do they continue and even increase the sanctions against Iran?
The end-game is a weakened, divided regime, vulnerable to internal and external threats and willing to cut-off support to nationalist regimes in the Middle East, including Palestine, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Washington’s “end game” is the conversion of Iran to a client petrol-state allied with the Saudi-Israeli axis.

Obama’s and Israel’s goal is the same: an Iran which cannot challenge Israel’s military dominance, nuclear weapons monopoly, annexation of Palestine and aggression against Lebanon and Syria.

Kerry Demanding PA Concessions to Placate Israel Over Iran

Israeli officials have been shrilly condemning the US over diplomacy with Iran for weeks now, and while publicly US officials seem to be shrugging it off, privately they have been trying to placate Israel with anything they can think of.

And that’s bad news for the Palestinians, as top aides to President Mahmoud Abbas say that John Kerry’s recent visit has been punctuated by repeated demands for the Palestinians to accept worse terms for the peace deal, in hopes that Israel would forgive the US over the Iran deal.

PLO official Yasser Abed Rabbo, who was with Abbas in his most recent meeting with Kerry, termed the talks in “crisis” at this point, saying Kerry has been trying to blackmail them into accepting new demands, including a permanent Israeli occupation of the Jordan Valley, and threatening to let Israel renege on prisoner releases if they refuse.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

I am having an industrial-strength, palm to forehead moment at velocity, upon reading this: why in heaven's name make Palestinians the victims of Netanyahu's hubristic bellicosity about the Iran deal?!?

When, yesterday in New York, Netanyahu made the comment at a conference that the Iran deal would cost the US any possibility of a Palestinian/Israeli peace accord, he absolutely demonstrated, in the most painfully clear manner, that he does not want any peace deal with the Palestinian people, whatsoever.

And Secretary Kerry, your push for a really bad deal for the Palestinians in this matter, does not make you an honest broker here, at all. You have invested far too much personal and geopolitical capital in a stunningly futile situation, where the Israeli government doesn't want peace, but territory, and by any means necessary.

Iranian border forces fire rockets in Pakistani territory

Iranian border forces fired five rockets in Pakistan’s bordering town of Panjgoor on Monday, officials said.

An official of the provincial home and tribal affairs department who requested anonymity told Dawn.com that the rockets fired by Iranian forces landed at the Paroum area of Panjgoor.

“The loud noise from the rockets were heard far and wide and caused panic in the area,” he said.

However, no fatalities were reported as a result of the rocket attacks.

The provincial home department official said Iranian border forces have fired rockets in Pakistani territory around 11 to 12 times during the last one-and-half months.

Repeated violation on the part of Iran has prompted the Balochistan government to bring the issue to the notice of the federal government.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

These Iranian attacks make absolutely no sense, until you start to unravel the back-story here.

As reported on Radio Free Europe about a month ago:

Violence has returned with a vengeance to Iran's restive province of Sistan-Baluchistan. In less than two weeks, 14 Iranian border guards have been killed, 16 Baluch "bandits" hanged in retaliation, and a state prosecutor assassinated. The region's judiciary chief, Ebrahim Hamidi, was quoted by state media as saying the November 6 slaying of Mousa Nuri, the state prosecutor in the southeastern city of Zabol, had no connection to the recent hangings. But in claiming responsibility for Nuri's assassination, a little-known Sunni extremist group, Jaish al Adl, said it was in retaliation for the October 26 hangings of the 16 Baluchi death-row prisoners. Nuri and his driver were gunned down in front of a hospital in Zabol, which is located close to Iran's borders with Afghanistan and Pakistan. In a statement posted the same day on its website, Jaish al Adl said Nuri and Mohammad Marzieh, the chief prosecutor in Zahedan, the provincial capital, had sent hundreds of "innocent young Baluchis" to the gallows, including the 16 Sunnis who were executed in October. The 16, identified by Iranian officials as "bandits linked to groups hostile to the state," were already on death row. But their hangings came just a day after 14 Iranian border guards were killed near the city of Saravan, which lies 270 kilometers to the south of the provincial capital across the border with Pakistan.

It appears that Iran's government is doing this in retaliation for the attack which killed these border guards, and attempting to send Pakistani military and civilian leadership that more of these killings will not be tolerated.

Afghanistan agrees on regional security pact with Iran


“Afghanistan agreed on a long-term friendship and cooperation pact with Iran,” President’s Karzai's spokesman Aimal Faizi said, as quoted by Reuters. “The pact will be for long-term political, security, economic and cultural cooperation, regional peace.”

Afghan President Hamid Karzai reached the deal with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in Tehran on Sunday. The joint communique issued after the talks stipulates that foreign ministers of both counties were assigned to draw up the topics of such a pact, IRNA reports

At the meeting Rouhani voiced Iran’s strong opposition to foreign presence and its destabilizing effect for the region.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

I love the smell of irony in the morning!

The US government cannot get Karzai to commit to signing a security agreement about US/NATO forces staying in Afghanistan past 2014, but Iran and Afghanistan are creating a "regional security agreement".

Broken dishes and fowl language are probably in great supply at the White House, Pentagon, and State Department right now!! :-)

Israel Urges Tough Line on Iran Nuclear Deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday pressed world powers to take a hard line with Iran in negotiations for a final nuclear deal, urging them to demand that Tehran abandon all uranium enrichment, halt its ballistic missile program and end a “genocidal” anti-Israel policy.

One day after President Barack Obama deemed it unrealistic to believe Iran could be compelled to dismantle its entire nuclear infrastructure, Netanyahu said Tehran should have to take apart all centrifuges used to refine uranium, despite its insistence it would never agree to do so.

Netanyahu, deeply skeptical over an interim six-month deal reached with Iran in Geneva in late November, also suggested that the imposition of new sanctions could help the West secure a “better deal” in the next round of negotiations. Obama has urged Congress against further punitive measures for now.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

A memo to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu: Iran, as a signatory to the NNPT (which nuclear-armed Israel IS NOT), is allowed to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, but will not give up enrichment completely, nor should they have to.

What you are attempting to do, with this bellicose hubris, is to have Iran walk away from the negotiating table on the issue of enrichment, in order to pressure the US government to attack Iran for alleged "non-compliance" on their nuclear energy program.

Mr. Prime Minister, I can promise you one thing: Americans are sick and tired of fighting Israel's wars to neutralize yet another existential threat in the Middle East, as happened with Iraq.

We all understand that far too much American blood and money has already been sacrificed upon the altar of potential Israeli hegemony in the Middle East, and that this must stop, and now.

Every single politician in DC who is up for elections in 2014 understands that another pre-emptive war in the Middle East is an election loser, and that Americans are heartsick and war-weary, analyzing the ultimate outcomes, and costs, of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And by the way, attempting to "blackmail" the US government by stating that a nuclear Iran precludes any Palestinian/Israeli settlement, demonstrates, very clearly, your attitude toward a peace settlement with the Palestinians: you don't want it at all. (Secretary Kerry, are you having a hard time not vomiting, upon reading this?!?)

A nuclear Iran will preclude any Israeli-Palestinian peace, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday in a video speech broadcast to the annual Saban Forum in Washington. The prime minister opened his speech at 5:15 P.M (10:15 A.M. EST) with thanks to U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry for their efforts toward peace. He then spoke of the negotiations underway between Israel and the Palestinians, saying that the "unprecedented" unrest in the Middle East that arose during the Arab Spring "made clear that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not the source of the area's turbulence."

This, sir, is grade-A bovine excrement: you know it, the public in the US and Israel know it; and the Iranians know it.

Iran is already a nuclear country, because it knows that the oil revenues won't last forever, and that they need energy power in order to have their economy grow.

As you well know, Iran is not a nuclear-armed country: there has been no discovery by any of the IAEA inspections that nuclear energy materials have been diverted to a nuclear weapons program.

I would conclude by suggesting that if the Israeli government wants to attack Iran, please go ahead; but without American military intervention this time. And good luck dodging those maneuverable Russian missiles!

'Bulwark against aggression'? US pushes MidEast militarization despite Iran thaw

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told Gulf Arab leaders on Saturday the United States was committed to maintaining its vast military forces in the Middle East, as well as supplying its Arab clients with state-of-the-art military equipment.

Hagel confirmed that the US military “will not make any adjustments to its forces in the region — or to its military planning — as a result of the interim agreement with Iran."

The defense secretary’s comments come amid a general reduction of tensions in the region, not to mention the American people’s exasperation with foreign entanglements in an economic downturn. Although the US military is winding down its decades-long, super-expensive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, US militarization in the region continues unabated.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

It appears that even though the P5+1 will be meeting on the 9th and 10th of this month, to work out the technical aspects of the tentative agreement that has just been reached, the US is still preparing for war against Iran.

IF this war happens - it will simply be, again, as was true with the invasion and occupation of Iraq, to "neutralize" one of Israel's unending "existential threats" in the region.

I would like to very strongly caution SecDef Hagel, however, that the American people have grown extraordinarily weary of this practice, and understand that far too much American blood and money have already been sacrificed upon the altar of potential Israeli hemgemony in the Middle East, and that this must stop.

No American I know thinks that such a war is a good idea, and they comprehend fully just how badly the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have gone, for both the US military and the American people.

SecDef Hagel, you represent a country which is broke, morally and fiscally; we have Vets sleeping in our streets; homeless families sleeping in cars (because their jobs were offshored/oursourced); and infrastructure crumbling because no one has the money to take care of these issues.

I would strongly suggest that the government invest what it can in correcting these and other monumental problems domestically, before even thinking about an Israeli-desired war against Iran.

If Israel believes that Iran needs to be attacked, the IDF is perfectly capable of doing so, without US intervention or help.

Her response was as honest and appropriate as it was direct: “Poland, Germany, America…” For that she lost her job as the best White House reporter America has had.

Fears mount that Dems will undermine White House on Iran

Multiple Democrats on Capitol Hill are worried that House Democratic leaders are close to joining with House GOP leaders to support a bipartisan measure that could undermine the White House’s efforts to reach a long term deal curbing Iran’s nuclear program, I’m told by sources involved in discussions.

The worry is that Dem Rep. Steny Hoyer, the number two House Dem, may join with GOP Rep. Eric Cantor on a resolution or bill that will either criticize the current temporary deal with Iran, or call for a new round of sanctions, or set as U.S. policy some strict parameters on a final deal with Iran, such as opposition to any continued uranium enrichment, House Democratic aides say. House Dems and outside foreign policy observers have communicated such worries to Hoyer’s office, sources add.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

A memo to Representatives Hoyer and Cantor; should you move forward with such legislation, you will have demonstrated, with painful clarity, that you, and those supporting this, have no regard for, and, in fact, hold those constituents you allegedly represent, in complete contempt.

And you will have done that that by putting the needs and concerns of a foreign government (that of Israel) over and above those of American citizens, along with defying the President!

Gentlemen, there has already been far too much American blood and American money sacrificed upon the altar of potential Israeli hegemony in the Middle East, and this must stop.

The deal has already been consummated, and should the US government pull out because of legislative strictures, or cause Iran to pull out of the deal because enrichment is not something they are willing to give up (as signatories to the NNPT), it will prove the astonishing degree to which US foreign policy is dictated by Tel Aviv.

Do I need to remind you gentlemen that Russian officials have very publicly stated that should Iran be attacked by the US government, that Russia will come to its aid militarily?

And do I need to remind you that at this point in its general capabilities, the US military doesn't have the troop strength, the money, or the manufacturing to insure a positive outcome to a conventional war?

I guarantee you with real certainty that the American people do not want another meat-grinder of a war in the Middle East (let alone a new world war), looking at how lousy the outcomes were from the US government's invasion and occupation Iraq and Afghanistan.

I will also caution you, and those shilling for war against Iran, that this issue will absolutely be election losers for their advocates from both parties in the mid-term elections next year.

And forgive me, SecDef Hagel, is not the point of the P5+1 agreement to avoid a military confrontation against Iran, or have I really, really misunderstood the intent of this agreement?!?

Yes, Israel wants the US military to "neutralize" Iran because it doesn't want to compete in non-weapons nuclear technology, such as the creation of radioactive isotopes for medical use. Also, as Iraq did before the US invasion and occupation of that country, Iran has one of the highest standards of living in the Middle East.


The US wants regime change, because Iran currently refuses to sell all of its oil in US dollars.

Do I need to remind you that Russia officials have said, very publicly, that should the US and/or Israel attack Iran, that Russia will come to its aid militarily?!?

And sir, do I also need to remind you that at this point it its history, the US military doesn't have the troop strength; the money; or the manufacturing to insure a positive outcome to a conventional war against Russia?!?

And finally, sir, do I need to remind you that, as a signatory to the NNPT, Iran is fully within its right to develop nuclear energy, and that, to date, the IAEA has found absolutely no evidence of a diversion of nuclear materials from its energy program to any kind of weapons program?!?

Just checking, Mr. Secretary!!!

His rap sheet includes millions of deaths, mass destruction, and unspeakable human misery. He deplores peace. He endorses state-sponsored terror. He was a leading practitioner in government.

Stuart Littlewood: So Iran is Britain’s enemy…

Who on earth is British Prime Minister David Cameron speaking for? Shouldn’t he instead be saying to Iran: “We share your anxiety about having a nuclear armed neighbor like Israel, with its 400 warheads, menacing your country. You have our solidarity.”

Israel, as people are beginning to realize, has a vast nuclear arsenal, won’t sign the non-proliferation treaty (but Iran has done so) and won’t submit to UN inspection and safeguards.

But Cameron is comfortable about rewarding Israel for its crimes against humanity. He even provides a safe haven for its criminals, contrary to the UK’s solemn obligation under the Geneva Conventions.

Is aiding and defending a belligerent foreign power, land thief and serial abuser of human rights a listed policy in the Conservative Party manifesto? And is terrorizing Iranian civilians with economic ruination, just for the hell of it (or because Israel wants it), Conservative policy?

The Real Reason Hawks Are Trying To Kill the Deal With Iran

Why are Israel, Saudi Arabia, and their congressional allies in both American political parties trying to kill an interim nuclear deal with Iran that effectively freezes (and in some instances rolls back) the Iranian nuclear program until a comprehensive deal can be reached to permanently limit the program so that Iran cannot build a nuclear bomb? In the lead up to the interim deal, if one wanted to be charitable, one could have assumed that these hawks were acting as the "bad cop," using the threat of even more economic sanctions to strengthen the Obama administration’s "good cop" hand to exert maximum pressure on Iran to limit its nuclear program. However, after an interim deal has been reached, these same hardliners are likely to push Congress to ratchet up sanctions anyway in a blatant attempt to kill that deal and further negotiations.

Eric Margolis: Iran Gets Short End of the Geneva Deal

The campaign to block the Geneva accords has thrust into the daylight the long-covert alliance between Saudi Arabia and the Gulf emirates on one hand, and Israel. Egypt and Jordan are also members of this anti-Iranian camp. The possible emergence of Iran from US-imposed isolation is already throwing the Mideast into convulsions.

We also witnessed at Geneva another example of the consummate, unblushing hypocrisy that makes France often less than loved. France, which has been selling arms to the Gulf Emirates and has a base in Abu Dhabi, held up the Iran deal claiming it would promote “nuclear proliferation.” This is the same France that originally sold nuclear technology, weapons and missiles to Israel in the mid-1950’s. Quel nerve!

Back in the US, having seen the full might of the pro-Israel lobby attacking their president and making Congress clap like circus seals, many Americans must be wondering if they have lost control of their nation’s Mideast policy.

“I don’t think Congress is going to overturn this agreement,” said Gary Samore, a Harvard professor who served as a top proliferation official in Obama’s first term and now heads the hawkish United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI). He said Israel’s insistence on zero enrichment as an end-state in negotiations was “not an achievable objective”

Iran Nuke Pact Defies the Neocons

For anyone who genuinely wants to avoid an Iranian nuclear weapon and whose attitude toward the nuclear negotiations with Iran has not been shaped by some other agenda, the “Joint Plan of Action” that was agreed to in Geneva last weekend is a major achievement that deserves enthusiastic applause.

The agreement is an important positive development with regard not only to the nuclear weapons issue but also to broader U.S. interests in the Middle East and the conduct of U.S. diplomacy there. The Joint Plan of Action refers specifically to “a mutually defined enrichment program” in laying out parameters for a final agreement.


What the P5+1 will have to do if a final agreement is to be reached is to grant sanctions relief that is far more substantial than the modest amount granted in the preliminary deal.

The Real Nuclear Option

Like many other national security analysts, I have followed the developments in Iran's civilian nuclear program closely for the past two decades, parsing the comments of Iranian and U.S. officials and combing through leaked or declassified intelligence assessments and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) quarterly reports. I have witnessed or participated in war games that simulate a political/military crisis over Iran's nuclear program, and I've interviewed planners about how the U.S. military envisions a range of joint U.S.-Israeli or unilateral moves and contingencies with Iran that might be triggered, escalated, or culminated. (All of this supplemented, of course, with countless op-eds and analytical pieces from wonks, academics, and former officials.)

Webmaster's Commentary: 

IF Shiite Iranians hated Jews so deeply, why have they not committed genocide against Iran's Jewish population, which is one of the oldest, continuing practicing Jewish community on the planet?

The short answer is, they haven't and Iran's Jews and Christians are protected spiritual minorities under the Iranian constitution.

But Israel's alleged "nuclear ambiguity" was demolished by Mordecai Vannunu in the late 80s, when he blew the whistle on Israel's nuclear facility at Dimona, complete with pictures.

Mordechai Vanunu brought his camera to work in late 1985, shortly before leaving his eight-year stint as a technician at Israel's nuclear weapons factory at Dimona. Acting on his conscience, he carefully took about 60 photos of the top-secret labs and unique production processes involved. When some of these photos were originally published in the London Sunday Times' exposé, they confirmed his eyewitness testimony about the extent of Israel's nuclear weapons program and revealed Israel to be one of the world's top nuclear powers. To this day, the Israeli government refuses international inspection of Dimona and continues to deny the existence of its nuclear arsenal. [click here for more of Vanunu's story: archive/story.html] While their publication resulted in Vanunu being locked away for an 18-year prison sentence, his photographs of Israel's nuclear weapons factory - a bold statement against nuclear secrecy and for the abolition of nuclear weapons - are here for all to see.

That Israel, at least since these revelations in 1985, has had nuclear weapons, and refuses to become a signatory to the NNPT, means that every US dime of financial and/or military aid which it has received is completely illegal, under the Symington Amendment.

OF course, an AIPAC-enabled (and perhaps, blackmailed?) Congress, consistently putting a foreign government's needs and concerns far above those of the constituents they allegedly represent, will do absolutely nothing to keep this illegal aid from flowing.

But if we are going to have a conversation about Iran's nuclear energy program, we definitely need to have an international conversation about Israel's nuclear weapons.

There is no ambiguity here, period, end of discussion, and any Israeli government of military official who denies the presence of these weapons is lying through their teeth.

It is illegally holding hundreds of nuclear weapons which have never been inspected, which are subject to no treaty,” Galloway said.

Iran’s ultimatum for new nuclear talks: No ‘Zionist’ Israelis allowed

Report: Iran FM says country won't talk to Israel


Webmaster's Commentary: 

This is like the rich lecturing us all on the joys of being poor, or a prostitute telling us all about how wonderful marital fidelity can be.

Israel is a nuclear armed state. Israel refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refuses IAEA inspections. Israel was caught trying to sell clandestine nuclear weapons to South Africa (and who knows who else), the very activity the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is supposed to prevent. Israel has a demonstrated history of belligerence and war towards its neighbors.

So I can understand Iran wondering what kind or arrogance Israel must have to presume to come into the P5+1 and lecture anyone about what nuclear technology they can or cannot have, especially since Iran HAS signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, DOES allow IAEA inspections, has not initiated a war of conquest against another nation in over 200 years, and rumor and innuendo aside, shows no signs at all of having a nuclear weapons program.

Netanyahu vows to banish ‘darkness’ of Iran nuclear program



Webmaster's Commentary: 

Memo to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu: the worst danger to the world, sir, is not Iran's nuclear energy program, but Israel's nuclear weapons (100 or so, at last count), which put both the region of the Middle East, and the entire planet at risk.

This bellicose, hubristic threatening is not winning you many friends either in Israel, or throughout the world, Mr. Prime Minister. In the age of the internet, the "big lie" no longer works, sir: I would strongly caution that you might want to tune your rhetoric to that reality; because otherwise, you will not ever be taken seriously ever again.

Nov 29 09:52

Iran agrees to freeze nuclear program by January





Webmaster's Commentary: 

Hopefully, a long-term agreement can be achieved, and the tensions will ratchet down in the Middle East: this would be the most positive outcome imaginable.

As always, however, Israel is the wild card on this, and Netanyahu is sending an Israeli "team" to DC next week to "insure" that the final deal is as much to Israel's liking as humanly possible.

However, the nasty sticking point here, is that Israel wants Iran to be doing absolutely no nuclear enrichment whatsoever; Iran believes that as a signatory to the NNPT (which, of course, nuclear-armed Israel is not), that they have the right to enrichment.

If the final agreement between the P5+1 will not allow Iran to enrich, this will be a deal breaker for the Iranian negotiators, and the deal will crumble, which is what Israeli leadership wants to see happen.

After that, Israeli leadership want to see a US-led attack against Iran, in which it will be Americans who will be killed and maimed for life to "neutralize" yet another of their alleged "existential threats" in the region, as happened with Iraq.

I would like to remind you that before the US invasion and occupation of Iraq, it had one of the highest living standards in the Middle East; and now, it is Iran which has one of the highest standards of living in the Middle East.

Also, Russian leadership has stated, very openly, that should Iran be attacked militarily, the Russian military will come to its aid.

But please understand: the US military doesn't have the troop strength, the money, or the manufacturing to insure a positive outcome to a conventional war against Russia, and that is what makes the military option here so scarily dangerous.

Rep. Sherman Favors More Civilian Airline Crashes in Iran

The nuclear deal that was struck between Iran, the United States and other world powers last week has elicited a lot of reactions in the policymaking world. Many have been strongly positive. Others have been downright crazy. And then, in the case of Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), there's the plain vicious.

Rep. Sherman, who previously claimed that the point of sanctions is to "hurt the Iranian people," continues to demonstrate that he cares very little for how many Iranians are killed or injured as a result of his reckless policies. In the wake of the historic nuclear deal struck in Geneva last weekend, Rep. Sherman has objected to a provision of the deal that would enable Iran to purchase spare parts for its aging civilian aircraft, which currently suffers one of the highest accident rates in the world.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

I am having a palm to forehead moment, at velocity, upon reading this, and I would at least hope some of his constituents are looking at distancing themselves from this position.

Representative Sherman is Jewish; was named as fourth co-Chair of the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus this year; and is a member in good standing of AIPAC.

However, he is, on this issue, suffering from a severe case of CSMD (Congressional Selective Memory Disorder), and I would like to set him straight on the following reality.

Iran hosts one of the oldest-practicing Jewish communities in the world, and Jews and Christians are protected religious minorities under the Iranian constitution.

It is not only Shiite Muslims who are getting killed and maimed in these crashes; it is also his Jewish Iranian brothers and sisters who are getting killed and maimed in these crashes as well, due to lack of aircraft maintenance and parts.

How in the name of heaven and very possible moral value, can he be OK with this?!?

Iran deal a slap in the face for Netanyahu

In an unprecedented move, the United States and its five partners — Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany — known as the P5+1 — dealt the arrogant Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, a slap in the face when they signed last Sunday a historic agreement with Iran compelling it to temporarily freeze its disputed nuclear programme for six months.

In response to the exaggerated outcry over the accord by Netanyahu and the American friends of Israel, especially the pro-Israeli lobby in the US, led by Aipac (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), some Congressmen and others, President Barack Obama retaliated by declaring unabashedly, “tough talk and bluster may be the easy thing to do politically, but it’s not the right thing to do for our security.”

Senators Still Pushing Iran Sanctions Even With an Actual Deal on the Table, Reluctant Warmongers Want War

This weekend, the latest round of talks actually produced a deal, with Iran agreeing within the first six months to stop enriching uranium beyond 5 percent, and to downgrade or eliminate its uranium stockpile that’s at near 20 percent enrichment. In exchange, the Western powers agree to a limited lifting of sanctions. As the White House explains, “the overwhelming majority of the sanctions regime, including the key oil, banking, and financial sanctions architecture, remains in place.” That’s not enough for Senate hawks, Democrat and Republican, who are starting to push, again, for more sanctions. This time, Menendez wants to work on sanctions legislation that somewhat incorporates the recently reached deal—it would “provide for a six month window to reach a final agreement before imposing new sanctions on Iran, but will at the same time be immediately available should the talks falter or Iran fail to implement or breach the interim agreement.” Armchair (dais?) tough guy to the last.

AIPAC pushes US congress for new Iran sanctions

The most powerful pro-Israel advocacy group in the US, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, is bucking the Obama administration by pushing the US Congress to press forward with legislation that could impose new nuclear-related sanctions on Iran.

In the wake of the landmark agreement over the weekend between Iran and six world powers top aides to President Barack Obama urged Congress to hold off any action on new sanctions that they say could upset the pact.

But a policy memo issued by AIPAC Monday (and posted here) encourages US lawmakers to keep up the pressure on Tehran.

Iran Deal Gains Traction Despite Netanyahu and Republican Dissent


Nov 27 06:42


In the end, America ignored Benjamin Netanyahu and signed a deal with Iran that the Israeli prime minister had condemned as “bad” and “dangerous”. Those who believe in Israel’s supposedly mystical influence over US foreign policy will find it hard to fit this event into their view of the world (but they will doubtless try). I’m more interested in what this tells us about the hawkish intellectual tradition represented by Netanyahu.

Nov 27 06:42

Iran Agreement is Clearest Test Ever Of Loyalty to US or Israel

Forgot Congress, their loyalty is to getting campaign money from AIPAC. They are just whores.

As for everyone else.

American interests are unambiguous: achieving the success of US-Isran deal.

Netanyahu’s interests: killing the deal to achieve war with Iran, preferably by US forces.

Having read 100% of the comments on the deal this weekend, it is clear that exactly 100% of its supporters are driven by US interests as well as the belief that the deal protects the people of Israel and Iran.

100% of the people opposing the deal oppose it because they have their marching orders from Netanyahu. They accept his word that the deal is bad for Israel.

So it’s a zero sum game. Are you loyal to the US interests or Netanyahu’s

It is that simple. Watch the usual suspects line up behind Bibi with utter disregard for the country they choose to live in.

Take all these politicians and corporate media presstitutes & whorespondents who want war with Iran, give them rifles, and parachute them into Tehran.

Israeli Team Heads to US to ‘Shape’ Final Iran Deal

Months of angry fist-shaking from Israeli officials and a position of no diplomacy at any price failed miserably, and in the wake of the signing of the interim P5+1 deal with Iran, Prime Minister Netanyahu appears to have changed tactics.

Today, Netanyahu announced he is dispatching a team lead by his national security adviser Yossi Cohen to the US, and they are going to try to engage with the US in getting the terms of the final Iran deal more to Israel’s liking.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Forgive me, but since bloody when does a foreign country dictate the US's foreign policy?

What Israel is going to try to do, in terms of the final negotiations with Iran, is to insert language insisting that Iran stop all enrichment, which is an absolute deal-breaker.

And because Iran is a signatory to the NNPT (which Israel, a nuclear-armed country is not), as a signatory, it has the right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, which it is doing.

And to date, no IAEA inspection has determined that any nuclear materials with which Iranian scientists are working have been diverted to a nuclear weapons program.

A memo to President Obama: this agreement, while perhaps not perfect, is the next step to peace in the region.

IF you do what the Israeli team will be demanding, you are looking at having initiated an horrific regional, if not world war.

UK tells Israel not to disrupt Iran deal as defiant Netanyahu comes under fire

Britain will “discourage” Israel from trying to undermine the nuclear deal with Iran, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague says. Israeli media criticizes PM Benjamin Netanyahu for reacting over “personal failure” as he refuses to be “bound” by the deal.

“We would discourage anybody in the world, including Israel, from taking any steps that would undermine this agreement and we will make that very clear to all concerned,” Hague told the UK parliament on Monday.

He said that there was no apparent sign that any country opposed to the agreement would try to disrupt it “in any practical way,” adding that the UK would still be “on its guard.”

Webmaster's Commentary: 


With regard to Netanyahu's hubristic arrogance and threats regarding Iran , it appears Hague has "grown a pair", and is not afraid to use them.

Israel Still Holds Plenty of U.S. Cards



Webmaster's Commentary: 

Which is a good thing, because now the whole world is WATCHING as Israel manipulates the world towards a new war, and while Israel may still get that war, in the process they are hoisting on their own petard as the world recognizes that it was never Iran, but Israel, that was the problem.

I get a lot of criticism from the Megaphonies about always portraying Israel as the problem. Their argument is that the whole world hates Israel, and that is why Israel has to act the way they do. But common sense tells you that if you see children at a playground and there is one kid who is always getting into fights, it is not the playground that is the problem, but that one child. The same is true of Israel.

Any members of Congress willing to support Israel in their war with Iran are hereby invited to resign their office and enlist in the IDF, along with their own children. But Iran has not invaded the United States. Iran has not invaded ANY nation in a war of aggression in over 200 years. The real threat to the United States is AIPAC, which rules our nation for the benefit of Tel Aviv, enabled by a Congress perfectly willing to sell your children as mercenaries to that foreign power.

Nov 25 18:11


After a deal appeared just out of reach in a round of negotiations earlier this month, some US senators, most notably Bob Menendez, the Democrat chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, pushed for more sanctions, to show the Iranians the US was not as interested as they were in reaching a deal, a silly argument of which Secretary of State John Kerry was nevertheless unable to disabuse senators interested in a more hostile policy toward Iran.

Source: Netanyahu Scolded Obama in Phone Call on Iran Deal


Webmaster's Commentary: 

Long time readers know I am no fan of Obama's policies, but it may well be that as he heads into his second term and sees Obamacare as less and less likely the shining part of his historical legacy, that Obama is seriously going to try to wrest back the US from Israeli control. Which, you have to admit, would look really good in the history books. So, take a moment to hit the White House comment page (assuming it is working) and leave a message to the effect that you stand with the President so long as he stands against Israel. Because you just know the Megaphonies and Israel-firsters are trying to create the illusion that ordinary Americans just cannot wait to throw their babies onto the Iranian bayonets.

New York Senator Chuck Schumer was his usual hawkish self on Sunday evening.

“Democrats and Republicans are going to work together to see that we don’t let up on these sanctions…until Iran gives up not only its nuclear weapons, but all nuclear weapon capability, all enriched uranium,” Schumer said. ”Every time the Arab world, the Palestinians, have risen against us, we have risen to defeat them.

Netanyahu: Israel to send team to US to work on final Iran nuclear deal

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said at the Likud faction meeting on Monday that an Israeli team led by his national security adviser would be sent to the US next week to work on a final status nuclear deal with Iran. An interim deal was signed last week between world powers and Iran over its controversial nuclear program.

Netanyahu said that he agreed with US President Barack Obama to send the Israeli delegation to the US when the two leaders spoke about the interim Iran deal on Sunday.



Webmaster's Commentary: 

Forgive me, but since when does Israel dictate America's foreign policy?!?

The hubristic arrogance here is spectacularly amazing, particularly for a country which has nuclear weapons, but refuses to sign the NNPT (as Iran did); has attempted to sell nuclear weapons to rogue nations, like the formerly apartheid South Africa; whose leadership is pathologically incapable of getting along with its neighbours; and constantly shills for the US military to "neutralize" all of its existential threats in the region - which pretty much means the entire Middle East.

I would strongly suggest that Israeli Prime Minister's security team would get a lot more accomplished by staying home, and contemplating how to improve their relationships with their neighbors, rather than constantly threatening them with US military aggression.

Of course, that...would be logical.

US Envoy Assures Israel: Attacking Iran Still an Option



Webmaster's Commentary: 

Forgive me, but has this man gone abso-flipping-lutely barking mad, to have made this suggestion when successful negotiations herald a new relationship between the P5+1 and Iran, creating an opportunity for peace to happen?!?!?

Any attack against Iran by the US government is now unthinkable, at least for the next 6 months; any attack against Iran by Israel would be seen by the world as a vile and immoral move against peace in the region, and should be unthinkable for Israeli leadership.

Finally, I wish to strongly caution Israeli leadership that any attempt at a false flag event to be blamed against Iran, will be perceived as just that; a false flag, because the Iranian leadership is getting what they want out of this through peaceful negotiations. Therefore, there is no logical reason for Iran to attack anyone at this point, and Iran has not started a war in over 200 years.

Israelis Secretly Inspect Saudi Bases; Possible Staging Ground for Strikes Against Iran




It was unclear whether the purported visit to Saudi Arabia by Israeli military and intelligence officials signals any real preparation for a strike or if the trip was meant to keep pressure on the West amid Israeli fears about the current deal with Tehran.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

IF Israel strikes Iran militarily, the consequences will be disastrous for both Israel and the region.

Israel's leadership behaves as though there will never be any consequences to their actions; but in this case, they will be absolutely, horrifically wrong.

I think that the Israeli government and military have not been honest at all with their civilian population about what the cost will be, in terms of civilian casualties, and destruction to property, and think it will be much higher than anyone has admitted up to now, particularly when Hezbollah attacks Israel from the north, if Iran is attacked.

However, should the completely hubris-driven Netanyahu make the decision to strike Iran, President Obama should make it very clear that the US military will absolutely not participate in any way; not with military personnel or hardware, software, or intelligence cooperation.

Then, the US government should yank every bit of financial and military aid to Israel permanently.

Russia's officials have stated, very publicly, that should Iran be attacked, it will go to its aid militarily. So good luck, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Israeli citizens, ducking those maneuverable missiles!

Netanyahu: Israel is ‘by itself,’ ‘not bound by this agreement’

Gray and solemn pronouncements about Israel acting “by itself” were issued by the Israeli prime minister at his Cabinet meeting today and mark Israel’s sudden isolation from world opinion– and signal division inside the Israel lobby in the U.S.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

So here is what is going on. Israel's iron grip on the US Government has slipped badly, and the rest of the world sees it. Israel's desperate attempt to transfer their fangs from Washington DC to Paris fared no better. Israel is signaling that it may attack Iran all on its own, under the justification that a nation with nuclear weapons that has never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and does not allow IAEA inspections has a right to attack another nation that does not have nuclear weapons, and that has signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and allows IAEA inspections.

Israel has boxed itself into a horrible corner. They can no longer get the US (or any other nation) to wage war on their enemies, and if Israel goes ahead and attacks Iran now, the world will see Israel as the aggressor and rogue nation. Israel cannot even back away from confrontation with Iran without it being perceived as a weakening of Israel. Nor can they attempt a false-flag attack to be blamed on Iran, because Iran has no motive for drastic action with the doorway to peace now open.

And if the American voters start ejecting Israel-firsters who wanted to send Americans to die in Israels wars in the next election, that will be the end of Israel as the global meddler. No doubt they will continue on as an annoyance, and there is still their nuclear arsenal to consider, but Israel has clearly exhausted their 60 year guilt trip on the world, and has lost any sympathy other nations might have had for them.

Netanyahu and the government of Israel are cornered (by their own actions) and desperate, and that makes them incredibly dangerous, not just to Iran, but to the whole world. I cannot emphasize enough that, based on Israel's past history, the Lavon Affair, the USS Liberty, the tricking of Reagan into bombing Libya, that Israel has a demonstrated willingness to do whatever it takes to get its way.

Isolated Israel denounces Iran deal

Isolated and angry with its ally the United States, Israel has bitterly denounced a 'bad' nuclear deal between world powers and Tehran while repeating its threat of military action against Iran.

Hours after Iran agreed with the P5+1 group - the United States, China, Russia, France, Britain and Germany - to row back some of its nuclear activities in exchange for limited sanctions relief, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu charged that 'what was achieved in Geneva is not a historic agreement but rather a historic mistake'.

Netanyahu's office had earlier called it a 'bad agreement' that 'gives Iran exactly what it wanted - a significant easing of sanctions and allows it to keep hold of the most essential parts of its nuclear program'.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Israel is the wild card here. I would not at all be surprised if Netanyahu ordered either a false-flag attack to blame on Iran, or simply went ahead and destroyed Iran's power station the way they destroyed Iraq's power station at Osirak in 1981 (which turned out to be just a power station, despite Israel's claims of a clandestine weapons factory in the basement).

Israel says world “more dangerous” after Geneva deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu has expressed his dismay, claiming it endangers Israel and that Iran is not to be trusted.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Well, let's take a closer look at what Bibi the Whiner is saying.

First off, Iran has not invaded another country in a war of aggression in over 200 years. That stands as a stark contrast to Israel (not to mention the US) which cannot seem to go six months without attacking someone, somewhere!

Second, everything Iran is doing with their nuclear industry is fully in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which both Iran and the US (but not Israel) have signed and ratified. Accusations and innuendo aside, the IAEA has found no evidence of a nuclear weapons program in Iran. And keep in mind that Israel claimed Iraq was building clandestine nuclear weapons under their power station at Osirak when they bombed that power station into rubble in 1981, despite assurances by the French engineers who built the power plant that it was not usable for making weapons material. Following the US invasion of Iraq, IAEA inspectors examined the remains of the power station at Osirak and concluded that the French were correct and Israel was wrong. There had been no weapons facility there. So Israel's track record in identifying clandestine nuclear weapons factories is rather abysmal, which is a good reason to ignore them now.

Speaking of clandestine bombs and factories, Israel, despite refusing to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, does possess nuclear weapons, many of which are fabricated in a not-so-secret facility located underneath their reactor at Dimona. And documents that surfaced following the collapse of South Africa's apartheid government prove Israel was trying to sell them (and who knows who else) clandestine nuclear weapons; the very activity the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is supposed to prevent.

The fact is that Iran is playing by the rules and Israel is not, which means it is Israel that cannot be trusted, and that it is Israel which is a threat to peace.

After all, it was Israel that attacked the USS Liberty and initially tried to frame Egypt for it. It was Israel that bombed British and US assets in Egypt and tried to frame Egyptian Muslims for it.

Let history be your guide as to who the world should trust, and who is the danger to world peace!
