4. Zionist tells Iranians: "Time to shift strategies"
Background:
"Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani remains a formidable figure in Iranian politics with a network of well-placed allies straddling the reformist and moderate conservative camps. If any one leader is able to force a re-run of last Friday's disputed poll, it may be the two-term former president nicknamed the "shark"...The super-rich Rafsanjani, his family, and his supporters in the reformist Kargozaran party make no bones about helping finance and direct Mir Hossein Mousavi's campaign to topple Ahmadinejad, whom they despise. ...Rafsanjani remains unpopular with many Iranians who believe the corruption claims (against him) and blame him for a murderous, covert campaign to silence dissidents at home and abroad during his 1989-97 presidency..."
"...crook, cynic, capitalist and Iran-Contra arms dealer, Hashem Rafsanjani." --Richard Seymour
1953: The CIA bribed Iranian government officials, businessmen, and reporters, and paid Iranians to demonstrate in the streets
Are You Ready For War With Demonized Iran?
This powerful article by Paul Craig Roberts shows (once more) how America and the Western world are being manipulated by the Zionist dominated media and government influence. War with Iran is at the top of the agenda of Israel and Jewish extremist power around the world. They are using every trick in the book to create another catastrophic war in much the same pattern that the Jewish extremists in the American government manufactured the war in Iraq out of sheer lies and disinformation. Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during President Reagan’s first term. He was Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal. He has held numerous academic appointments, including the William E. Simon Chair, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Georgetown University, and Senior Research Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He was awarded the Legion of Honor by French President Francois Mitterrand. –David Duke
How much attention do elections in Japan, India, Argentina, or any other country, get from the US media? How many Americans and American journalists even know who is in political office in other countries besides England, France, and Germany? Who can name the political leaders of Switzerland, Holland, Brazil, Japan, or even China?
Yet, many know of Iran’s President Ahmadinejad. The reason is obvious. He is daily demonized in the US media.
The US media’s demonization of Ahmadinejad itself demonstrates American ignorance. The President of Iran is not the ruler. He is not the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He cannot set policies outside the boundaries set by Iran’s rulers, the ayatollahs who are not willing for the Iranian Revolution to be overturned by American money in some color-coded “revolution.”
Iranians have a bitter experience with the United States government. Their first democratic election, after emerging from occupied and colonized status, in the 1950s was overturned by the US government. The US government installed in place of the elected candidate a dictator who tortured and murdered dissidents who thought Iran should be an independent country and not ruled by an American puppet.
The US “superpower” has never forgiven the Iranian Islamic ayatollahs for the Iranian Revolution in the late 1970s, which overthrew the US puppet government and held hostage US embassy personnel, regarded as “a den of spies,” while Iranian students pieced together shredded embassy documents that proved America’s complicity in the destruction of Iranian democracy.
The government-controlled US corporate media, a Ministry of Propaganda, has responded to the re-election of Ahmadinejad with non-stop reports of violent Iranians protests to a stolen election. A stolen election is presented as a fact, even thought there is no evidence whatsoever. The US media’s response to the documented stolen elections during the George W. Bush/Karl Rove era was to ignore the massive documented evidence of real stolen elections.
Leaders of the American puppet states of Great Britain and Germany have fallen in line with the American psychological warfare operation. The discredited British Foreign Secretary, David Miliband, expressed his “ serious doubt “ about Ahmadinejad’s victory to a meeting of European Union ministers in Luxembourg. Miliband, of course, has no source of independent information. He is simply following Washington’s instructions and relying on unsupported claims by the defeated candidate preferred by the US Government.
Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, had her arm twisted, too. She called in the Iranian ambassador to demand “more transparency” on the elections.
Even the American left-wing has endorsed the US government’s propaganda. Writing in The Nation, Robert Dreyfuss presents the hysterical views of one Iranian dissident as if they are the definitive truth about “the illegitimate election,” terming it “a coup d’etat.”
What is the source of the information for the US media and the American puppet states?
Nothing but the assertions of the defeated candidate, the one America prefers.
However, there is hard evidence to the contrary. An independent, objective poll was conducted in Iran by American pollsters prior to the election. The pollsters, Ken Ballen of the nonprofit Center for Public Opinion and Patrick Doherty of the nonprofit New America Foundation, describe their poll results in the June 15 Washington Post. The polling was funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and was conducted in Farsi “by a polling company whose work in the region for ABC News and the BBC has received an Emmy award.”
You can find their report here.
The poll results, the only real information we have at this time, indicate that the election results reflect the will of the Iranian voters. Among the extremely interesting information revealed by the poll is the following:
“Many experts are claiming that the margin of victory of incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the result of fraud or manipulation, but our nationwide public opinion survey of Iranians three weeks before the vote showed Ahmadinejad leading by a more than 2 to 1 margin — greater than his actual apparent margin of victory in Friday’s election.
“While Western news reports from Tehran in the days leading up to the voting portrayed an Iranian public enthusiastic about Ahmadinejad’s principal opponent, Mir Hossein Mousavi, our scientific sampling from across all 30 of Iran’s provinces showed Ahmadinejad well ahead.
“The breadth of Ahmadinejad’s support was apparent in our pre-election survey. During the campaign, for instance, Mousavi emphasized his identity as an Azeri, the second-largest ethnic group in Iran after Persians, to woo Azeri voters. Our survey indicated, though, that Azeris favored Ahmadinejad by 2 to 1 over Mousavi.
“Much commentary has portrayed Iranian youth and the Internet as harbingers of change in this election. But our poll found that only a third of Iranians even have access to the Internet, while 18-to-24-year-olds comprised the strongest voting bloc for Ahmadinejad of all age groups.
“The only demographic groups in which our survey found Mousavi leading or competitive with Ahmadinejad were university students and graduates, and the highest-income Iranians. When our poll was taken, almost a third of Iranians were also still undecided. Yet the baseline distributions we found then mirror the results reported by the Iranian authorities, indicating the possibility that the vote is not the product of widespread fraud.”
There have been numerous news reports that the US government has implemented a program to destabilize Iran. There have been reports that the US government has financed bombings and assassinations within Iran. The US media treats these reports in a braggadocio manner as illustrations of the American Superpower’s ability to bring dissenting countries to heel, while some foreign media see these reports as evidence of the US government’s inherent immorality.
Pakistan’s former military chief, General Mirza Aslam Beig, said on Pashto Radio on Monday, June 15, that undisputed intelligence proves the US interfered in the Iranian election. “The documents prove that the CIA spent 400 million dollars inside Iran to prop up a colorful but hollow revolution following the election.”
The success of the US government in financing color revolutions in former Soviet Georgia and Ukraine and in other parts of the former Soviet empire have been widely reported and discussed, with the US media treating it as an indication of US omnipotence and natural right and some foreign media as a sign of US interference in the internal affairs of other countries. It is certainly within the realm of possibility that Mir Hossein Mousavi is a bought and paid for operative of the US government.
We know for a fact that the US government has psychological warfare operations that target both Americans and foreigners through the US and foreign media. Many articles have been published on this subject.
Think about the Iranian election from a common sense standpoint. Neither myself nor the vast majority of readers are Iranian experts. But from a common sense standpoint, if your country was under constant threat of attack, even nuclear attack, from two countries with much more powerful military establishments, as is Iran from the US and Israel, would you desert your country’s best defender and elect the preferred candidate of the US and Israel?
Do you believe that the Iranian people would have voted to become an American puppet state?
Iran is an ancient and sophisticated society. Much of the intellectual class is secularized. A significant, but small, percentage of the youth has fallen in thrall to Western sexual promiscuity, to personal pleasure, and to self-absorption. These people are easily organized with American money to give their government and Islamic constraints on personal behavior the bird.
The US government is taking advantage of these westernized Iranians to create a basis for discrediting the Iranian election and the Iranian government.
On June 14, the McClatchy Washington Bureau, which sometimes attempts to report the real news, acquiesced to Washington’s psychological warfare and declared : “Iran election result makes Obama’s outreach efforts harder.” What we see here is the raising of the ugly head of the excuse for “diplomatic failure,” leaving only a military solution.
As a person who has seen it all from inside the US government, I believe that the purpose of the US government’s manipulation of the American and puppet government media is to discredit the Iranian government by portraying the Iranian government as an oppressor of the Iranian people and a frustrater of the Iranian people’s will. This is how the US government is setting up Iran for military attack.
With the help of Mousavi, the US government is creating another “oppressed people,” like Iraqis under Saddam Hussein, who require American blood and treasure to liberate. Has Mousavi, the American candidate in the Iranian election who was roundly trounced, been chosen by Washington to become the American puppet ruler of Iran?
The great macho superpower is eager to restore its hegemony over the Iranian people, thus settling the score with the ayatollahs who overthrew American rule of Iran in 1978.
That is the script. You are watching it every minute on US television.
There is no end of “experts” to support the script. For one example among hundreds, we have Gary Sick, appropriately named, who formerly served on the National Security Council and currently teaches at Columbia University:
“If they’d been a little more modest and said Ahmadinejad had won by 51 percent,” Sick said, Iranians might have been dubious but more accepting. But the government’s assertion that Ahmadinejad won with 62.6 percent of the vote, “is not credible.”
“I think,” continued Sick, “it does mark a real transition point in the Iranian Revolution, from a position of claiming to have its legitimacy based on the support of the population, to a position that has increasingly relied on repression. The voice of the people is ignored.”
The only hard information available is the poll referenced above. The poll found that Ahmadinejad was the favored candidate by a margin of two to one.
But as in everything else having to do with American hegemony over other peoples, facts and truth play no part. Lies and propaganda rule.
Consumed by its passion for hegemony, America is driven prevail over others, morality and justice be damned. This world-threatening script will play until America bankrupts itself and has so alienated the rest of the world that it is isolated and universally despised.
Internet freedom for Iran but not for the West?
Internet freedom for Iran but not for the West?
U.S. Media’s self-congratulatory campaign for Internet freedom in Iran turns a blind eye to Australia, Canada, Britain and Israeli “closed military zones”
By Michael Hoffman
It’s embarrassing.
The media’s orgy of self-congratulation, that is. Each night on national news shows, foreign correspondents have appeared on screen to breathlessly pledge their undying commitment to reporting the demonstrations in Iran while insisting that the Iranian government must allow for full press and Internet freedoms.
Our gorge rises in the face of this nauseating hypocrisy from these pompous gate-keepers.
Canada and Australia are sending dissidents to prison for daring to use the Internet to question Holocaustianity, the West’s sacred cow.
In Australia, PhD. philosopher Frederick Toben is facing several months in prison for defying the government and publishing his scientific and technical data about Auschwitz on the Internet.
In Canada, defense attorney Doug Christie can reel off numerous cases of fines and prosecution for skeptics and dissenters in that nation who used the Internet. In Britain a Catholic group faces prosecution for Internet throught crimes.
Canadian resident Ernst Zündel, twice tried in Canadian courts for “Holocaust denial” fled to the U.S. for safe haven against criminal charges he used the Internet to publish revisionist documents on his Zundelsite web.
The U.S. deported Mr. Zündel back to Canada where he was imprisoned for more than a year in solitary confinement. The Canadians then rendered him to Germany where he was sentenced to five years imprisonment.
In occupied Palestine the Israelis regularly declare Jenin or Gaza “closed military zones” so they can butcher the indigenous people without the inconvenience of reporters and cameras. This horror occurred as recently as last January. The U.S. media routinely complies with this “closure” and apathetically sits by while Israeli atrocities are committed secretly and then denied publicly (a form of holocaust denial which is everywhere legal).
If and when the American media report on the Zündel or Toben cases it is with a strong tenor of approval of their repression. In those cases control of the Internet is perceived as a necessary evil, in order to achieve a higher good. (more…)
Are the Iranian Election Protests Another US Orchestrated ‘Colour Revolution’?
By Paul Craig Roberts
June 20, 2009 "Information Clearing House" -- -A number of commentators have expressed their idealistic belief in the purity of Mousavi, Montazeri, and the westernized youth of Terhan. The CIA destabilization plan, announced two years ago (see below) has somehow not contaminated unfolding events.
The claim is made that Ahmadinejad stole the election, because the outcome was declared too soon after the polls closed for all the votes to have been counted. However, Mousavi declared his victory several hours before the polls closed. This is classic CIA destabilization designed to discredit a contrary outcome. It forces an early declaration of the vote. The longer the time interval between the preemptive declaration of victory and the announcement of the vote tally, the longer Mousavi has to create the impression that the authorities are using the time to fix the vote. It is amazing that people don’t see through this trick.
As for the grand ayatollah Montazeri’s charge that the election was stolen, he was the initial choice to succeed Khomeini, but lost out to the current Supreme Leader. He sees in the protests an opportunity to settle the score with Khamenei. Montazeri has the incentive to challenge the election whether or not he is being manipulated by the CIA, which has a successful history of manipulating disgruntled politicians.
There is a power struggle among the ayatollahs. Many are aligned against Ahmadinejad because he accuses them of corruption, thus playing to the Iranian countryside where Iranians believe the ayatollahs' lifestyles indicate an excess of power and money. In my opinion, Ahmadinejad's attack on the ayatollahs is opportunistic. However, it does make it odd for his American detractors to say he is a conservative reactionary lined up with the ayatollahs.
Commentators are "explaining" the Iran elections based on their own illusions, delusions, emotions, and vested interests. Whether or not the poll results predicting Ahmadinejad's win are sound, there is, so far, no evidence beyond surmise that the election was stolen. However, there are credible reports that the CIA has been working for two years to destabilize the Iranian government.
On May 23, 2007, Brian Ross and Richard Esposito reported on ABC News: “The CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert “black” operation to destabilize the Iranian government, current and former officials in the intelligence community tell ABC News.”
On May 27, 2007, the London Telegraph independently reported: “Mr. Bush has signed an official document endorsing CIA plans for a propaganda and disinformation campaign intended to destabilize, and eventually topple, the theocratic rule of the mullahs.”
A few days previously, the Telegraph reported on May 16, 2007, that Bush administration neocon warmonger John Bolton told the Telegraph that a US military attack on Iran would “be a ‘last option’ after economic sanctions and attempts to foment a popular revolution had failed.”
On June 29, 2008, Seymour Hersh reported in the New Yorker: “Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred million dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and are designed to destabilize the country’s religious leadership.”
The protests in Tehran no doubt have many sincere participants. The protests also have the hallmarks of the CIA orchestrated protests in Georgia and Ukraine.
It requires total blindness not to see this.
Daniel McAdams has made some telling points. http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/027782.html For example, neoconservative Kenneth Timmerman wrote the day before the election that “there’s talk of a ‘green revolution’ in Tehran.” How would Timmerman know that unless it was an orchestrated plan? Why would there be a ‘green revolution’ prepared prior to the vote, especially if Mousavi and his supporters were as confident of victory as they claim? This looks like definite evidence that the US is involved in the election protests.
Timmerman goes on to write that “the National Endowment for Democracy has spent millions of dollars promoting ‘color’ revolutions . . . Some of that money appears to have made it into the hands of pro-Mousavi groups, who have ties to non-governmental organizations outside Iran that the National Endowment for Democracy funds.” Timmerman’s own neocon Foundation for Democracy is “a private, non-profit organization established in 1995 with grants from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), to promote democracy and internationally-recognized standards of human rights in Iran.”
Halt Cheney's And Now Obama's Covert Iran Operations
by Allen L Roland (Oped News)
In March of 2002 Dick Cheney appointed his own daughter Elizabeth to head a shadow operation (ISOG) whose covert purpose was to fund dissident groups in Iran ~ money which may have been used to fund and arm terrorists. Obama has now evidently picked up where the Cheneys left off : Allen L Roland
If you have any doubt that a shadow Cheney presidency existed during the last eight years that cast its evil over everything from the 9/11cover-up to Quantanamo ~ then picture Dick Cheney appointing his own daughter in 2002 to head up a secretive organization in Iran whose purpose was to fund terrorists ~ and which reported directly to Darth Vader himself, Dick Cheney. And why would Cheney appoint his own daughter ? Because she was the only person he could trust on his self-declared journey to the dark side for she certainly would not testify against him. They both are now neck deep in deception and lies which is why they are openly defending their actions together on the mainstream TV circuit.
On April 11, 2006 I posted a column entitled CHENEY'S SECRET IRAN OPERATING GROUP ~ in which I summarized How the Office of Special Plans ( OSP ) fed tainted intelligence directly to Dick Cheney in the run up to the war with Iraq with the objective of regime change.
How also the Iran-Syria Operations Group (ISOG), was set up by Dick Cheney's daughter with the same objective of regime change in Iran ~ with a direct line to Dick Cheney.
How the real objective of OSP was to justify a war with Iraq which was most likely the case with ISOG ~ to promote a war or regime change with Iran.
There can no longer be any doubts as to who was running this country and who George W Bush answered to.
I included an article from The American Progress Report which stated ~ " The State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs is disgruntled by the Bush team's efforts to run its own Iran shop and skirt the traditional bureaucracy. The administration's pre-Iraq war creations of the White House Iraq Group (WHIG) and the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans (OSP) may suggest one possible answer for why the administration feels the need to set up a secretive Iran operating group.
OSP was created to cull intelligence to make the strongest possible case for war with Iraq, while WHIG helped market the war based on the selective intelligence the administration collected. Cheney is operating with more than $75 million at her disposal to ostensibly promote democracy in Iran." http://blogs.salon.com/0002255/2006/04/11.html
Now let's fast forward to 2009 and ask this question ~ ISOG which was dedicated to regime change in Iran reDid Obama dismantle the notorious and secretive gardless of the methods or consequences ?
Of course not, which explains Obama's present silence regarding Iran , and Steve Weissman,TRUTHOUT, picks it up from there with his timely and perceptive article Iran: Who's Diddling Democracy? http://www.truthout.org/061809J
Excerpt: " Back in 2007, ABC News reported that President George W. Bush had signed a secret "Presidential finding" authorizing the CIA to mount covert "black" operations to destabilize the Iranian government ... The plan had the strong backing of Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Steve Hadley and Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams. As ABC noted, Abrams had earlier pled guilty to withholding information from Congress about efforts to destabilize the Sandinista government in Nicaragua during the Iran-contra affair of the 1980s... The New Yorker's Seymour Hersh subsequently confirmed the story, reporting that the Presidential finding focused on "on undermining Iran's nuclear ambitions and trying to undermine the government through regime change." http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20203.htm
" Flash forward to the new presidency of Barack Obama. Did he and his CIA chief Leon Panetta cancel the destabilization program? Not that I can find. The tea leaves are murky, but they suggest that, so far at least, Team Obama remains wedded to the Bush-Cheney-Abrams destabilization of Iran.... According to Ken Timmerman, the executive director of the right-wing Foundation for Democracy in Iran ~ the Persian Service of Voice of America (VOA) clearly sided with the anti-Ahmadinejad candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi against those dissident groups who wanted to boycott the election entirely, the position Timmerman favored... Timmerman also saw the branding of Mousavi's "green revolution" as evidence that the US government was using its National Endowment for Democracy to support the former prime minister Mousavi . "The National Endowment for Democracy has spent millions of dollars during the past decade promoting 'color' revolutions in places such as Ukraine and Serbia, training political workers in modern communications and organizational techniques," Timmerman wrote on the right-wing newsmax.com. "Some of that money appears to have made it into the hands of pro-Mousavi groups, who have ties to non-governmental organizations outside Iran that the National Endowment for Democracy funds."
Weissman concludes by writing ~ " Does my reading of the tea leaves prove conclusively that the Obama administration was hell-bent on regime change? Not conclusively, but all the evidence points in that direction, especially now that many extremely reputable scholars are suggesting that Ahmadinejad probably did win more than a majority of the votes cast... Ahmadinejad is a very bad guy, as I have recently written elsewhere. But our opposition to him does not justify meddling in another country's election while proclaiming "universal democratic values."
So there you have it, Iran was in Cheney's gunsights for some time and he and his daughter Elizabeth's covert actions in Iran must be investigated ~ particularly in light of the current chaos in Iran and our part in covertly promoting it under the guise of Democracy. But more importantly, the Obama administration has evidently picked up where the Cheney's left off ~ and it must be halted immediately.

Iran Policy Committee: Pentagon mouthpiece, Israeli ally, MEK supporter
By John Stanton
Online Journal Contributing Writer
May 21, 2005—The Iran Policy Committee (IPC) has a website up and running at iranpolicycommittee.org.*
The IPC made the news in February when it released a report titled "US Options for Iran." In that report, the IPC recommended that a terrorist group known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) be removed from the US government's hit list. The authors of the IPC report equate the terrorist MEK with the African National Congress that fought long and hard against the despicable all-white South African regime and its US supporters so many years ago. Of course, the implication here is that the MEK will somehow produce a Nelson Mandela, or at least is on the same playing field as Mandela's group was.
Those two wacky thoughts should be enough to dismiss the 11 IPC principals, their mission and their clumsy report as nonsense. But inside the Washington Beltway, it's never wise to dismiss ignorance until performing background checks on the individuals and their affiliations. The record shows that the IPC operates in very close proximity to the US intelligence community, has the support of 150 members in the US Congress, and is linked to individuals/groups who successfully lied and led the US into another Vietnam-like war, and whose primary purpose is the creation of a US empire that controls the world's resources and protects a greater Israel. Crazy is selling these days and the loonies are in charge.
The IPC is supported by the neocon all-stars that we've come to know and love such as Douglas Feith, Frank Gaffney, Michael Leeden, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, et al. But these frontbenchers are running out of political muscle as their war in Iraq continues to drain the resources of the American people on political, economic and military fronts. What's worse, perhaps, is their "with us or against us" mentality has caused new political and economic alliances to form (example: South America-China-Iran) and has accelerated both conventional and nuclear arms races. Having failed on so many fronts, they recognize that to get the US into Iran, some new faces are needed and that's where the IPC backbenchers are critical to the forthcoming anti-Iranian/Persian propaganda operations.
The IPC is linked through its purpose and people to the Coalition for a Democratic Iran and the MEK, the Washington PAC, JINSA, AIPAC, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the Department of Defense (DoD), the Center for Security Policy, and all the major US intelligence agencies. IPC members are primarily defense and security contractors/consultants and would benefit financially from a war with Iran.
FOX This!
Anyone who can tolerate FOX News—the electronic equivalent of Reverend Moon's Washington Times—on a regular basis will recognize these IPC members: Lt.Gen. Tom McInerney, USAF (Ret.) formerly of the Business Executives for National Security and member of the Center for Security Policy; Major Gen. Paul Vallely, USA (Ret.); Capt. Chuck Nash, USN (Ret.); and Lt.Col. Bill Cowan, USMC (Ret.). These four folks are frequently seen and heard discussing military matters on FOX. Other IPC heavy hitters include Raymond Tanter, a former staffer at the National Security Council and current member of the Committee for the Present Danger and the Washington Center for Near East Policy; Clare Lopez a former CIA analyst; and Jim Atkins, former US President Richard Nixon's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, who is known in some circles as "the westerner who knows the most about the Middle East . . ."
The military heavyweight of the IPC is McInerney. One of the highlights of McInerney's military career, besides being a top-notch pilot in Vietnam, was assisting Alaska in the clean up of the oil spill caused by the Exxon Valdez when it ran aground in March of 1989. From April to September of that year, McInerney admirably headed the Joint Task Force Alaska Oil Spill while commander of the Alaskan Air Command (then Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney argued for a minimalist DoD/federal government role). These days, though, McInerney is busy promoting the neocon cause and dabbling in a host of money-making and influence peddling activities.
You can find him—and fellow IPC cohorts Vallely, Cowan and Lopez—at conferences like Intelcon 2005** as speakers and members of the Intelcon's Program Advisory Group (Michael Leeden, Frank Gaffney and Daniel Pipes are among them). Former directors of the NSA, CIA and DIA are featured panelists, along with more, yes more, FOX News commentators no doubt opining in conference as on the network with all the volume of an announcer at a Monster Truck bash. Yehoshuah Mizrachi of Operation Shiloh apparently spoke at Intelcon about handling terror like an Israeli (he equates the Battle of Shiloh from the US Civil War with 9–11). Finally, the conference program shows that the standard mix of defense contractors and US government bureaucrats round out Intelcon's conferees, along with a few token liberals thrown in for what appears to be some sort of balance.

Soros, the CIA, Mossad and the new media destabilization of Iran
Publié le 19 juin 2009
23 juin 2009 - 16:43
23 juin 2009 (LPAC) — Téhéran désigne désormais avec virulence les réseaux d’influence de l’Empire britannique, pris en flagrant délit en Iran, où ses agents s’efforçent de transformer les protestations légitimes contre les élections présidentielles du 12 juin en une « révolution » sanglante.
Après plusieurs jours de manifestations rassemblant les partisans du candidat Mir Hossein Moussavi, déclaré perdant dans ces élections au profit du Président sortant Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, l’ayatollah Ali Khamenei, le guide suprême, s’est adressé le 19 juin à la nation lors de la prière du vendredi, pour appeler toutes les parties à la modération. L’opposition est sommé de mettre fin aux protestations et à se contenter d’un simple recours légal pour vérifier la légalité du scrutin.
Khamenei profite de l’occasion pour fustiger l’ennemi historique de l’Iran, la Grande-Bretagne, désigné comme le « plus grand des maux » de toutes les nations. Des agents de l’Empire, indiqua-t-il, comptent faire en Iran ce que les Britanniques (et le milliardaire George Soros, ajouterons-nous) ont fait en Géorgie, en Ukraine et dans d’autres pays, c’est-à-dire à mobiliser des jeunes en colère, par le biais d’internet et des plates-formes de socialisation, pour imposer un changement de régime.
Les jours suivant le discours de Khamenei ont justement vu émerger ce type de contestation. Alors que s’estompaient les grandes manifestations pacifiques, des bandes d’émeutiers violents sont apparues dans les rues de Téhéran. De petits groupes, réunissant jusqu’à cent personnes, commencèrent à brûler des voitures et des bus, et à s’en prendre aux postes de la milice Basij, un ensemble militaire de premier rang qui a juré de défendre l’ordre politique du régime.
Le dimanche 21 juin, le gouvernement iranien a dénoncé la manière dont Londres opère pour plonger le pays dans le chaos et la désintégration, en lançant l’attaque la plus directe et la plus détaillée contre l’Empire britannique faite par un responsable iranien.
Le ministre des Affaires étrangères, Manuchehr Motaki, lors d’un briefing au Ministère des Affaires étrangères devant les diplomates étrangers, a vertement accusé les Britanniques :
- Entraînement de terroristes pour monter des attentats sur le sol iranien ;
- Implication dans la déstabilisation en cours à la suite des élections ;
- Désinformation ;
- Ennemi historique de la nation, notamment pour avoir poussé les Etats-Unis à envahir l’Irak sous de faux prétextes et encouragé la production de drogue en Afghanistan dans les régions sous contrôle britannique.
La veille, le ministère iranien du Renseignement avait annoncé l’arrestation de plusieurs membres de l’Organisation des Moudjahidin du peuple iranien (OMPI), impliqués dans les récentes émeutes à Téhéran.
Selon des responsables de la sécurité cités sur le site internet de la chaîne de télévision iranienne Press TV, les membres arrêtés ont avoué avoir été spécialement entraînés dans le camp d’Ashraf en Irak, pour créer des troubles post-électoraux en Iran, et recevoir leurs ordres du poste de commande de l’OMPI à Londres. La télévision nationale iranienne a diffusé des conversations téléphoniques entre une femme à Londres et certains des émeutiers arrêtés, au cours desquelles elle indiquait où, comment et quand attaquer et brûler les cibles.
Quelques heures après les attaques de M. Motaki contre les Britanniques, les autorités iraniennes donnaient à John Leyne, correspondant de la BBC, 24 heures pour faire ses valises et quitter le pays.
Lundi, le porte-parole du ministère des Affaires étrangères, Hassan Qashqavi, a fermement condamné les Britanniques et leurs médias, les accusant de mener une insurrection et des opérations de guerre psychologique contre l’Iran. « Ils [la BBC et la Voice of America] sont les porte-voix de la diplomatie publique de leurs gouvernements. Ils suivent deux grandes lignes à l’égard de l’Iran : intensifier les divisions ethniques et raciales dans le pays, et faire éclater les territoires iraniens. »
En effet, la BBC gère la page d’accueil de son site internet consacré à l’Iran comme une véritable salle de guerre. Les émeutiers utilisent ce site pour se transmettre les coordonnées des émeutes prévues et recevoir des instructions sur les interventions à effectuer.

Chavez félicite Ahmadinejad
Publié le 17 juin 2009
Le président du Venezuela Hugo Chavez a appelé au téléphone son homologue iranien Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pour le féliciter de sa réélection, saluée comme la "victoire pour un monde nouveau", a annoncé samedi la présidence vénézuélienne dans un communiqué publié à Caracas. M. Chavez, figure de proue affichée contre l'"impérialisme" en Amérique latine, a souligné, lors de cet entretien, que cette victoire démontrait "l'engagement du peuple iranien pour la construction d'un monde nouveau", selon le communiqué. Il s'agit d'"une victoire très grande et importante pour les peuples qui luttent pour un monde meilleur", a estimé le président vénézuélien, qui a connu un fort regain de popularité au Moyen Orient pour avoir expulsé l'ambassadeur israélien à la suite de l'offensive sur Gaza...

We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today.”
