BINGO!! IRAN TO ALLOW 100% FOREIGN OWNERSHIP
Just as Ahmadimidget and Israel make lots of noises and sabre rattling about nukes, simultaneously, the headline above appears, following link. The timing cannot be coincidence.
Call it pretense or cause and effect.
I do not know which one, but, my guess/hunch would be the latter. Pressure.

This IS the meaning, the definition, of regime change.
I had a number of previous posts about Iran's privatization, which has NOT been proceeding quickly enough to everyone's satisfaction.
As this process proceeds, Iran is no longer going to be recognized as Iran. That is, it's Mullahs will no longer be the single, most important determinant in its government, including the militias.
If the latter stand in the way, they will be eliminated by any and all means necessary.
By definition, those who own one's resources are those who control.
As I said in my previous blog, a few minor millionaire Mullahs and militias are no match for Morgan Stanley, their resources and their association of international "friends."
But, there is somewhere else, nearby, as well, where a major power struggle is happening with equally enormous repercussions.
And, that is Turkey.
In previous blogs, I linked to a few articles regarding the other fake Left, the Socialist International, and their supportive position vis-a-vis Turkey's reactionary, privatizing AKP and against Turkey's opposition, Baykal and the CHP (and Turkey's military).
Well, guess who has now been invited in lieu of Turkey's Baykal to be a Vice President of the Socialist International?
It doesn't get any better than this.
The fascist, criminal, KRG Talabani!!!
I give the fake Left credit, abroad.
Their chutzpah and audacity out does us here.

There's really not much more to say.
It speaks for itself.
I'll leave it at that for this entry.

Thanx for doing the hard yards and compiling one intriguing post after another. From your iranmania link:
Among the new incentive measures announced, foreign firms may also transfer their annual profit from their Iranian company out of the country in any currency they wish.
I reckon that is the real sweetener. Although, none are really needed, the resources up for grabs are enticing enough it seems.
Getting overseas economic elephants to invest in Iranian industry has the side effect that those well connected investors suddenly would loose their investments should there be an attack on Iran’s infrastructure by USrael. My guess is that this is well thought through by the Iranian clerics. The variables and factors in their calculations include the need of having to hold off the bloodhounds, and having western companies investing billions in their industry, turning to losses should there be a military attack, might improve the Mullahs chances.
And hey, how easy is it to nationalise the assets again once the USrael scare is over? That easy.
I wish it were "that easy" to re-nationalize anything. I'm afraid your cause and effect relationship, historically, is inverted, opposite down. Tell that to the Russians and the Iraqis the Chinese and many others. And, watch what happens in Latin America and Venezuela, next. Remember Chile?
