ANSWER TO HELMER'S QUESTION and ICELAND

The report below by Helmer about Russia's richest man poses a question or riddle concerning a mysterious French apology to Russia's present NAZI cabal deemed their government.
I THINK I have an answer to Helmer's question, BELOW, but, I cannot say if it comes in the form of a "letter."
A quid pro quo, perhaps?
First, Helmer's report:

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=2523#more-2523

And, then, a POSSIBLE answer to Helmer's riddle as follows:

"French president Nicolas Sarkozy has agreed to allow Mistral-class amphibious ships to be sold to the Russian Navy. According to Intelligence Online sources at the Elysee Palace, the decision will be announced in March when Dmitri Medevedev visits Paris. (...)"

Meanwhile, back in the contemporary Norse, Viking saga, Iceland, in MY opinion, an EXCELLENT commentary and universal statement in the form of a different QUESTION posed in the link below.
Of course, tiny Iceland's country and population is NOT militarized to DEFEND themselves as are states like North Korea and Cuba.
So, will a/the MILITARY be sent to Iceland if they continue to "resist" current IMF, international NAZI demands?
Will Iceland's resistance get INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT?
Will Iceland be occupied?
Are there any jihadists, Islamic militants, Al-Qaeda in Iceland?
And, pointed out below, Iceland is hardly alone in our most current global, counter-revolutionary, NAZI project.
Greece, Turkey are amongst those IMMEDIATELY squeezed by NAZI IMF loans and privatization.
The US and the rest of the world not far behind, since the NAZI US Dictatorship is the world's LARGEST and most astronomical debtor nation, thanks to the SAME artificial, contrived theft, bubble and bankruptcy of a global, criminal, PRIVATE, organized, NAZI financial and economic cartel as everywhere else on the globe:

THE TRANSFER AGREEMENT

I happened this weekend to watch a broadcast of a relatively recent discussion with Edwin Black about his supposedly controversial 1984 book, "The Transfer Agreement," documenting the NAZI German-Zionist transfer agreement of Jews to Palestine. I read Black's book shortly after its publication. As I recall, well over 20 years ago, it is well documented and ADDS important details to VOLUMINOUS material concerning WWII. However, over 20 years ago, I can no longer recall ALL material presented in the book and would have to reread it, myself. So, in Black's current discussion, below, to which I will link, while I do NOT agree with SOME of his extrapolations, suppositions, I cannot, FOR EXAMPLE, recall how much he represents or contextualizes other relevant historical subject matter, such as, a PRINCIPLED, Communist led, global Opposition, Resistance in his book, the Spanish Civil War, which occured simultaneously, and so on.

Certainly, he makes NO mention of it/them in his discussion, below. Nor, for example, the coincidental timing to implement NAZI Germany's "Final Solution" for plunder and slave labor with NAZI Germany's unanticipated military quagmire, halt, in the Eastern Front campaign against the Soviet Union and RED ARMY which did NOT proceed QUICKLY, as had been initially forecast.

They did NOT prepare for what subsequently happened on the Eastern Front and ultimately led to their defeat.

(Recognize something here?)
But, before I link to Black's one hour discussion, I thought, FIRST, I would link to a snippet, a small reminder, of a very large history about the WWII Battle of Stalingrad, BECAUSE, IN GENERAL, despite weakness, Black certainly does a better job than the ENTIRE panoply of our most current, pathetic, amnesiac, global Fascist collaborators and apologists masquerading as Opposition or Left. At least, at minimum, Black actually did scholarly research and made a valuable contribution to history, while the raison d'etre of our paid lackeys, covert and collaborative, manufactured ANTI-COMMUNIST, ANTI-SOVIET Left almost solely identify themselves in terms of MORAL opposition to OUR/THEIR Jewish/Zionist client state of Israel, which would cease to exist, obliterated off of the map, without the economic and military umbilical cord which binds them to their insidious CORPORATE NAZI parents, from inception until now. This same nauseating, sickening bunch of NAZI collaborators, revisionists, apologists CANNOT find, object to or recognize the wholesale sell off and sell out of NATIONALIZED, COLLECTIVIZED ASSETS AND INDUSTRIES of the former Soviet Union to the SAME reactionary, PRIVATE, individual, corporate, financial interests that financed Hitler and the Final Solution in the first place, much less anything and anywhere else.
AND ITS GLOBAL REPERCUSSIONS and RAMIFICATIONS.
THAT is why I chose to highlight the sacrifices and heroics of the Battle of Stalingrad, FIRST, THE turning point in the War, to plumb the depth, breathe, width capable of the lowest levels to which historical revisionism can sink, the magnitude of betrayal, opportunism and MORAL depravity now strutting its stuff on a global stage presenting itself as its opposite AND THE INEVITABLE REPERCUSSIONS that follow from it.

About the Battle of Stalingrad, excerpted from the link following:

"...The battle was the bloodiest in the history of warfare, with combined casualties estimated at nearly two million...."

COUNTING DOWN, TICKING CLOCK

The denouement regarding Iran's Baghdad Oil Minister, Sistani's Shahristani, the KRG and Iraq's on and off again provincial election draws nigh, obviously.
Iraq/Iran's present stalemate cannot continue as is indefinitely.
Little time remains.

As I have indicated, previously, I do NOT believe NAZI Iran's present Sistani/Shahristani/Ahmadimoron Dictatorship either will step down of their own accord or be overthrown through covert, domestic activities, of which OUR bogus AFL-CIA, ILO and US Labor Against (FOR) War front grouping is involved, as they are and were elsewhere, which they so proudly announce, themselves.

So, military escalation appears to me an inevitable one, having begun already anyway.
It is merely a quantitative to qualitative leap.
So far, it has been skirmishes.
But, that can change on a dime.
And, then, a coup.
Multiple coups, really.
Iraq, Iran and perhaps elsewhere, as well.

Elsewhere, as well, our post WWII NAZI privatization, counter-revolutionary, DE-nationalization saga rolls on with economic catastrophe, collapse, doom imminent most everywhere on the globe.

The former Soviet Union, which our current ersatz, Fascist Left PROUDLY helped overturn, CONTINUES their counter-revolutionary, covert operative role.
Russia's present sickening, nauseating government and their criminal, Fascist oligarchs and aluminum company, Rusal, now represented by a British PR firm called Schillings, recently made an attempt on Helmer's life.
Curiously, Schillings intersects with Iceland's Kaupthing Bank, to which I will link and refer, below.
Of course, Iceland, itself, currently, is immersed in a major blackmail, theft, debt, plunder scandal.
And, a PRIVATE aluminum corporation, like Russia's Rusal, also, is part of our modern day Norseman Iceland Icesave/Kaupthing robbery saga.
This time, however, the tables are turned historically in terms of who raided whom.
First, Helmer's update:

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=2497#more-2497

And, then, an excerpt about Schillings regarding their clients from another Helmer link.
MY emphasis in BOLD :

"...Schillings is a law firm specializing in the British law covering the reputations of international corporations, brands, celebrities and high-profile business people. The corporations the firm identifies as its clients are EasyGroup, Ryman the stationer, steelmaker Arcelor Mittal, Icelandic bank Kaupthing, Grant Thornton, GlaxoSmithKline, Northern Rock bank, The Law Society of England and Wales, and Collins Stewart, an investment bank. The Russian businessmen identified as clients by Schillings on its website are Alisher Usmanov and Gennady Timchenko..."

FROM:

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=2468#more-2468

In turn, British Iranian Tchenguiz brothers and their real estate company, Rotch, received money from Iceland's now defunct, bankrupt, plundered, Kaupthing Bank.
Now, I did a few previous posts about all this.
BUT, in one, from 2005, I used a couple of links regarding Daniel Pearl's untimely and mysterious murder AND his previous reports for the WSJ (Wall St. Journal) about UAE military offsets and some mysterious firms connected to/with these unusual offsets and their connections to/with Rotch.
When I returned to my 2005 post EVERYTHING HAD DISAPPEARED FROM THE LINKS, INCLUDING PEARL'S ARTICLE.
Somebody does NOT want this information readily and publicly available on the internet.
Thus, I did a few internet searches to see IF I could at least find Pearl's article IN FULL.
I did NOT come up with it.
HOWEVER, I did find an ABBREVIATED form of Pearl's article, which does NOT name the murky companies and relationships, specifically, to which I refer in his article and other links.
Here's the best I came up with, so far:

April 20, 2000

ARMS DEALERS GET CREATIVE WITH "OFFSETS"

Some Aid Packages Have Little to Do With the Purchaser

By Daniel Pearl, Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal

Could the sale of U.S. weapons in the Persian Gulf help an oil concern unload gasoline stations in Europe? Yes, under the new logic of international arms deals...So far, investment boutiques have had more luck than big investment banks in breaking into the fragmented offset trade. U.K.-based Chescor Capital Corp. recently launched a $20 million 10-year closed-end investment fund, prmising small defense contractors "better than risk-free" returns and UAE offset credits. Devcorp International, a Bahrain company, is managing a $25 million offset equity fund in Saudi Arabia and expects to double that soon...Defense industry experts say that the investment, in the UAE, is less than the cash penalty defense contractors would have to pay if they did no offsets. "Everybody's confused," says one industry consultant. "They think it's great, but they don't understand why they're getting such a good deal."

Below is a relatively current post I did, April, 2009, which, in turn, if you follow the trail BACKWARDS, links to my 2005 post and names Summit and Hafeet Trading in Pearl's article to which I am referring and you will see what I mean:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2009/04/easter-rabbits-iran-privatization.html

I cannot speak for everyone else, but, I can assure you that I and a few others I know cannot stomach seeing or hearing ANY of the persons or so called authorities currently featured in our government, media, think tanks, academia, the subject matter and obvious lies and propaganda techniques, etc.
We are awash in a sea, a cacophony of NAZI faces, voices and subject matter.
It is stomach churning.
SOME people DO recognize all too CLEARLY what it is from previous historical experience, variations on a theme.
Others are hopelessly lost, ignorant, brain dead and/or collaborative.
More importantly, our Fascist, mafia led, criminal labor organizations, AFL-CIA and SEIU, continue their collaborative, enabling role.
Our ONLY and best HOPE for resistance to challenge the STRAIGHT JACKET of current, institutionalized labor leadership and their policies resides in some newly formed, nascent, labor organizations such as the NUHW (www.nuhw.org ) and NNU, National Nurses United, in particular, which are battling against the rising tide and wholesale class sellout policies represented above.
They represent the future, if one exists, at all, as THINGS FALL APART and we return collectively to the place form which we started with the greatest revolution, the USSR, its defense during WWII and subsequent socialist/communist post WWII global revolutions.

Lastly, I thought I would highlight the following because I think it is insightful, interesting, helpful, informative.
However, THE reason for news, media blackouts, disinformation, diversions and distractions, as raised below, are self-explanatory ones, ECONOMIC self-interest, contained within my many posts, namely, our counter-revolutionary, NAZI, global privatization with ALL participants concerned.
I have gone into the details of this repeatedly.
NO surprise, for example, nominally "Arab" UAE, GCC about which I have written extensively, plans HEAVY investment into Iraq.
The UAE, GCC "states" are economic front groups, conduits.
Generally speaking, proportional rule of thumb, the less one hears about a subject matter, the more important it is and the greater the lie.
The BIG LIE.
ALL NAZI techniques:

DO HAITIANS HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE??

Guess what.
A new island just discovered in the Caribbean.
Haiti.
LONG bin FORGOTTEN, like Osama bin Laden.
Haitians SUDDENLY become the epi-center of global attention thanks to a natural, as opposed to man made, disaster.
Do you wonder if Haitians, like here, when needing medical attention, are asked:
"Do you have medical insurance?
Do you have a preexisting condition?
Is this procedure covered?"
Poor, little island of impoverished Haiti, languishing in a vast, intentional, human created sea of poverty!
A long history, like so many others.
But, now, a miracle has occurred.
Haiti is rediscovered by the international community.
And, those who robbed Haiti, continuously, will now suddenly morph into magnanimous philanthropists, at a price, of course.
A very dear, high price.
As far as natural disaster is concerned, there are plenty in the past and plenty more coming, from tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, meteorites, climate change, hurricanes, violent weather, solar flares, tectonic plate shift, species extinction, periodic magnetic shifts deep within the earth's core, all of which we constantly learn about more.
And, the more we learn, the more threatening it looks.
We live on a constantly changing planet in a dynamic universe.
The continent on which the US resides has numerous, MAJOR, earthquake fault lines from its most famous one in California to Yellowstone National Park with its hot geysers in the northwest and a somewhat lesser known earthquake fault, cutting through the middle of the continent, in the Mississippi Valley, from Nashville, Tennessee spreading outwards and upwards.
Any one of those earthquakes and/or volcanic eruptions, WHEN, not if, they occur, will make Haiti look like a picnic.
And, then, one wonders if the few remaining individuals left standing will be asked:
"Do you have medical insurance?"
And, just how will the human remnants organize themselves when ALL of their amenities of modern, daily life, civilization, electricity, water, utility, transportation, roads, housing, food, shelter, heat, emergency personnel, fire, medical services disappear, SUDDENLY, vanish, poof, in an instant.
Will they refer or defer to private ownership, individualism, to solve their COLLECTIVE mega disasters, as now.
War zones AND poverty are human created disasters and catastrophes.
In comparison to nature, however, war is chicken feed.
No human creation can ever surpass the magnitude and vastness of nature's power and might.
But, it is certainly true, globally, we do have enough military capacity to extinguish the entire human race.
And, an equal, irrational, insane, pathological, destructive, barbaric, dysfunctional, primitive economic system to match our military might.
Our primordial, diseased, pathological, cancerous and parasitic economic system is being spread and superimposed from without and within globally.
The planet and ALL its inhabitants are sick and dying from and of it.
What do YOU DO to halt, stop, defeat, turn back, turn around, eliminate, eradicate this infectious disease?

ERDOGAN GETS NOBEL PRIZE

Don't you just love it, or, at least, I do, when someone asks quizzically:
"Where are all the Muslims who object to Islamic Fundamentalism?"
Well, they are/were everywhere, but, primarily, mostly, in the OPPOSITION WE DESTROY and IGNORE!
Like Turkey, not to mention Iraq, and, others:

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=erdogan-awarded-nobel-prize-of-the-arab-world-2010-01-12

Meanwhile, in the latest episode of the soap opera, "I Told Ya So", articles appear NOW questioning the validity of Iraq's recent oil contracts.
I will not even bother linking to this garbage, anymore.
You know it already, IF you have been reading my posts for some time.
NAZI Morgan Stanley, the First Persia Fund and their international NAZI friends, associates, cartel, alliances, affiliates will disgorge NAZI Iran's PRESENT Mullah upstarts, pipsqueaks and Revolutionary Guards.
It's simply a matter of time, escalation, covert and overt tactics.
And, then, a new/old Baathist, or, semi-Baathist (NOT Socialist) government, i.e., Allawi and Company, Mashhadani, et.al., will appear in Baghdad and a new Oil Minister.
BUT, NO problem solved.
Our destructive, barbaric, counter-revolutionary, COMPETITIVE, CONTRADICTORY, IMPERIALIST, insane, crazy, irrational, profit-driven, privatized economic system will continue along and ULTIMATELY self-destruct of its own weight, volume and internal contradictions, but, in the process, take most, much, if not all, humanity down with it, as has happened before, WWI and WWII.
NO WAY OUT, NO EXIT, A CUL-DE-SAC.
For every problem it, 'they,' solve, just as many and more emerge.
It is a bottomless, degenerate pit, a NAZI sewer, gutter, toilet, a sick, pathologically diseased cesspool of atavistic, primordial, primitive human barbarism, insanity, irrationality, violence, theft, deceit, corruption, death, murder, killing, rape, plunder, repression, obscurantism, intensified exploitation of people and resources, and the DYING gasps, exigencies of a system of production necessitating ever greater and greater share profitability, dependent on ALL the above to reach and maintain a holy grail of private capital expansion, acquisitiveness, accumulation and personal greed.
It's like the proverbial Dutch childrens tale about a boy trying to plug the holes in a dike.
Or, Sisyphus.

GOTTA LAUGH: SULTAN IS BACK and GALLOWAY LOVES ERDOGAN

Well, three notes, or, jokes, for today.

First, John Helmer is back and his website (www.johnhelmer.net) up and running again AND the following.

Wish everyone would be as straightforward as Helmer's reports about Russia's current NAZI SCUMBAG oligarchs, my own posts and items such as the following.

Quite frankly, you ALL suck and get what you deserve--peasants, doormats, assholes, suckers, counter-revolutionaries, NAZI/Fascist collaborators everywhere.

Excerpt, link follows:

"...Beyzade Bülent Osman, grandson of Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamit II, known as the “Crimson Sultan,” is preparing to go to court to claim oil reserves around the city of Mosul in northern Iraq..."

FROM:

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=grandchild-of-8216crimson-sultan8217-goes-to-court-for-mosul-oil-2010-01-10

Meanwhile, adding to the above obscenities, in the shadow or company of Ramsey Clark and his INTERNATIONAL COHORTS of Anti-Imperialist, ANTI-COMMUNIST, ANTI-SOVIET, CIA, COVERT front LEFT groupings, the following.
Excerpt first, link follows.
MY emphasis in BOLD:

"...British lawmaker George Galloway slammed Egypt for its support of the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip, hailing Turkey's support for the Palestinian people. Galloway, who headed the Viva Palestina aid convoy for the Gazans, was deported from Egypt.

"I wish that Egypt and Britain had leaders like [Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip] Erdoğan," Galloway said Saturday, Press TV reported on its Web site..."

FROM:

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=galloway-britain-egypt-need-leaders-like-erdogan-2010-01-10

I would like to deport them myself.
Wish I could.
As the saying goes, with friends like these, one does not need enemies.
THEY ARE YOUR ENEMIES!
"The joke's on you, us!"
LAUGH!
Along that note, a footnote about the greatest United Suckers and Assholes nation on planet Earth whose current, anointed, Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Obooma resident CIA slave boy in the White House dismally FLUNKED his PR mission.
I promised you all, the Democratic Party is D.O.A. (Dead On Arrival).
And, so they are.
No need diverting attention and opposition away from him/them by pumping him/them up with further manufactured racist categories, diversions, distractions ON WHICH THEIR/HIS BOGUS CAMPAIGN was constructed in the first place.
It is irrelevant if he/they are green, purple, black, orange, with three eyes, you name it.
So, everyone, cut out the hype.

CARETAKER GOVERNMENT?

Well, it appears Iraq POSSIBLY is headed for NO elections in March.
In the latest defensive, offensive counter move on the Iraq/Iran chessboard, Chalabi and his Iranian partners, Sistani's son-in-law, Shahristani, Maliki, et.al, are toying with Iraq's nonsensical De-Baathification Law to eliminate their opposition and thus thwart a planned, anointed, new Iraq government, MECATAC, Mashhadani, et.al.
Allawi and his group threatening to leave Iraq's electoral process.
That will make Iraq's present government null and void INVALID, ILLEGITIMATE by March, if not before.
It will then fall into a vague status of "caretaker government" and it all will be up for grabs AGAIN, setting into play another chain reaction of events.
Of course, WITHIN NAZI Iran events unfold, simultaneously, prior to that point.
The latest, amongst many others, an assassination attempt on an opposition figure.
I doubt an internal coup will succeed, however.
But, at minimum, Iran's present regime will be considerably weakened, disabled, internationally and internally delegitimized, distracted, etc.
From whence emanates NAZI Iran's money to finance all their military proxies, surrogates, militias, shock troops, activities, endeavors, everywhere?
This is one of the reasons why sanctions are so important.
I do not bother following anymore Baghdad's oil contracts for the reasons above.
For every desperate NAZI Iranian action in Iraq, they set into motion greater forces of reaction allied against them.
For every action comes a reaction of greater and/or equal force.

DESTABILIZING TURKEY and WWIII

The many contradictions I follow on my posts do NOT go away.
On the contrary.
They intensify, continue unabated, exacerbated.
Ongoing FRICTION, confrontation, between Turkey's MILITANT class OPPOSITION AND MILITARY VERSUS THEIR pseudo-Islamic, NAZI, PRIVATIZING AKP government continues, threatening to tear Turkey apart:

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=frustration-boils-over-into-mass-brawls-2010-01-06

And, the REASON behind it all:

HERE

(http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=after-a-silent-year-buyouts-to-surge-2010-01-06)

Likewise, NAZI Iran's occupation of Iraq and Iranian Mullah Sistani's son-in-law, Shahristani, Baghdad's Oil Minister.
Simply too many developments in Iraq for me to regurgitate the pieces on a moving chess board, bombings, north Iraq pipeline bombed at least 4 times, now, assassinations, murder, threats, intimidation, suicide bombings, killing, torture, violence, rape, persecution, mayhem, destruction, devestation.
Personnel within Iraq's oil ministries shuffled around so as to facilitate Iran's present control over Iraq.
KRG oil income NOW threatened AGAIN by Iran's Oil Minister in Baghdad.
You can follow the details of all these machinations on numerous websites.

What is CLEAR to me both the US and its allies MILITARILY positioning themselves regionally, surrounding on ALL sides, in anticipation.
I have already pointed this out in previous posts.
One has to be a total fool NOT to see what is happening.
Additionally, Iran's present NAZI Mullah and Ahmadimoron Revolutionary Guard regime destabilized and threatened internally through multiple covert operations, thus, divided, distracted.
A fight on multiple fronts.
In turn, as a response, NAZI Iran and Turkey and everyone else increase their internal and external repression to maintain, solidify control in desperate, defensive and offensive counter-measures, as those above.
The circle spirals upwards, NECESSITATING further and further MILITARY intervention.
Both tracks work simultaneously.

I mostly agree with the following analysis, EXCEPT, it is occuring ALREADY, NOW, not years from now, for reasons above and my previous posts:

HERE

(http://nebuchadnezzar-ii.blogspot.com/2010/01/endless-wartill-end-of-time.html)

And, then, a reminder, a previous post I did January 2009.
Actually, a recapitulation from a post I did earlier in October, 2008.
Am I prescient??
No, of course not.
It is impossible NOT to see, know, forecast what is happening in front of one's eyes and, thus, what will happen, the inevitable trajectory of events, IF one wears no blinders:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2009/01/what-we-will-and-will-not-get.html

OMAN and THE MIDDLE EAST

Next door to Yemen, in case you happen to be geographically challenged, exists Oman AND OMAN'S PRIVATIZATION:

http://gulfnews.com/business/general/oman-s-utilities-to-be-fully-privatised-by-2009-1.270372

I listed links on previous posts about the numerous, imperialist, competing, conflicting economic interests NOW represented in Yemen's NEW, OPEN FOR BUSINESS GOVERNMENT POLICY, from Hamid Jafar's octopus, empire, Dana Gas, to Exxon, Hunt, France's premiere industrial, business association, MEDEF, Palestinian billionaire Masri, British royalty, IRAN, and a long laundry list of commercial interests.
BUT, OBVIOUSLY, BOTH Yemen and Oman are located strategically around contested areas of the MENA region, adjacent to Saudi Arabia and critical shipping lanes and waterways of Iraq/Iran.

So, some prearranged TERRORISM necessary to justify a further and increased military presence and WAR.
Quiet frankly, I do NOT know who, if any, people, here, BELIEVE the lame garbage and junk and excuses and explanations on the mass media.
I have no idea to whom is the mass media speaking.
Seems to me like themselves. An echo chamber.
And, then, of course, in addition to imperialist rivalries, exists internal opposition and resistance to PRIVATIZATION.
That ALSO necessitates ever greater militarization and internal repression, annihilation, as well.
Likewise, our many pseudo-religious, Fundamentalist, criminal gangster and drug militias WE set up regionally to help thwart COMMUNISM and the SOVIET UNION.
THEY must now be eliminated, too.
President Clinton #1, Bill, was NOT prepared to launch a direct, frontal military assault and occupation into Afghanistan to remove the covert scumbags WE CREATED in the first place, Osama and friends and his Taliban army, our then Freedom Fighters against Communism.
As you may recall, IF you have been reading my blog for awhile, I HYPOTHESIZED the ONLY plausible reason, explanation, I could find WHY it was necessary to remove our own Frankenstein Monster, Osama and his Taliban militias, were his/their INDEPENDENT negotiations with a competing Argentinian firm, Bridas, AND the HIGH PRICE OSAMA demanded AND CONTROL of the proposed TAP (Turkmen-Afghan-Pakistan) gas pipeline.
So, he/they all had to go. And, still do.

Following along the above theme and my previous posts about the necessity for a DIFFERENT, but, still, PRIVATIZING puppet government in Iraq, an Arab Baath, minus SOCIALIST, Party, Allawi, MECATAC, former Iraq Parliamentary Speaker, Mashhadani...

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_al-Mashhadani ]

...and his/their circles, friends, with alittle help from our scumbag labor unions, of course, comes the following report.
NOT unexpected IF you have been following my posts all along. Predictable.
Bye, bye Iranian Baghdad Oil Minister, Mullah Sistani's son-in-law, Shahristani AND Ahmadimoron.
Iraq's upcoming, provincial, so-called election ought to borrow a slogan from the US, namely:
"Change We Can Believe In!":

SCUMBAG LABOR UNIONS and ICELAND

As you can well see, below, our CRAPPY, SHITTY, GARBAGE, SCUMBAG AFL-CIA and SEIU Fascist led and collaborative labor unions and nominal class representatives in their most recent incarnation, United Suckers Labor Against War, really, Against Communism and Nationalization EVERYWHERE, continue plying their customary role and trade in covert operations and counter-revolution, having helped previously topple Communist "Dictatorships" abroad, like the USSR, through Poland's Solidarity, and, the Iraq Baath Arab Socialist Party.

THEY are THE REASON WHY NO PRINCIPLED CLASS OPPOSITION EXISTS HERE.

THEY are THE major impediment, PROBLEM, HERE, from the above/below to universal, Single Payer, Health Care to their stinking, rotten pension fund investments into those same NAZI PRIVATE corporations.

Excerpt, link follows, MY emphasis in BOLD:

"....USLAW has always made a point of seeking out solidarity relationships with unions in countries where the U.S. has troops or hostile relations. The conference heard speakers from Pakistan, Iraq, Venezuela, and a surprise speaker from an underground union in Iran.

Leaders of oil workers’ unions in Iraq, Venezuela, and the U.S. met to discuss common concerns. The conference also resolved to back a “listening delegation” to the Middle East to meet with both Israelis and Palestinians.

Soon after, SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania provided a model of what conference attendees hope will happen in local after local. Its executive board watched pieces of Obama’s Afghanistan speech, brought in experts to explain the lay of the land, and after thoughtful discussion resolved to engage members in the discussion and tell Obama to get the troops out...."

I have one editorial comment to make regarding the above:

You make me VOMIT, NAUSEOUS, SICK.
YOU STINK. YOU ROT TO THE CORE.

YOU ARE TOTALLY DISGUSTING, DESPICABLE, DEGENERATE AND REPULSIVE!!

IRAQ NORTH OIL CO or UPPING THE ANTE and PRES. CLINTON

Well, below represents another act of NAZI Iranian desperation regarding Iraq's North Oil Company, like so many others, and more grist for the Iraq/Iran/Middle East no longer upcoming, but, now, ongoing, confrontation grind mill and multiple explosions.

I hope you recall, from my previous posts, Iraq's South Oil Company director was replaced RECENTLY, not too long ago, by Hamid Jafar's, of Dana Gas/Crescent Oil/Abraaj octopus fame, brother.

So, now, some more retaliatory Iranian quid pro quos, tit for tats, to add to all the many others like Iran's "seizure" of Iraq's oil well on the Iran/Iraq border, apparently, laying extra parliamentary claim to that one and auctioning it off to a Gazprom division, I suppose, trying to buy favors. It will NOT WORK.
To me, it is all an OBVIOUS, comical joke, farce, theatrics.
"I will huff and puff and blow down your house,"* threaten Iran's upstart, pipsqueak, NAZI Mullah and Revolutionary Guard regime to the world's premiere NAZI state, the US.

The handwriting is on the wall and has been for some time now.
Certainly, if not before, then, BY, following, Iraq's so-called March provincial elections when as I have said repeatedly, I GUARANTEE a "NEW" and different, BUT, PRIVATIZING puppet government will appear BOTH in Iraq and Iran, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, by all and every means at their disposal:

If you wish to follow other splendiferous events related to NAZI Iran's occupation of Iraq, aside from my own, best place is Layla's posts.
She figuratively AND literally fleshes it out more.
My one and only additional comment, however.
Layla's post about the NEW Iraq reminds me of, looks like, HERE, with some obvious differences.

Wondering from whence will emanate and/or who will replenish 'OUR' current Middle East North Africa NAZI/Fascist barbarian armies, hordes?
No, not Big Bad Israel nor the US, alone.

For those who suffer from collective historical amnesia, which includes most everybody, it seems, except a few professional historians and revisionists who know better, but, exercise their knowledge in the profession of denial, a few, BRIEF, snippets, reminders of the THE MOORISH TROOPS INSIDIOUS ROLE IN NAZI FRANCO'S SPAIN:

EXCERPT, LINK below:

"...It was no accident that the virtual home base of the Falange movement was Morocco, where many of the generals had served and come under the influence of Astray and Franco. Morocco was the site of the last Spanish imperial interests and the officers who served there quite naturally grew attracted to nationalist sentiments. In addition, the brutal war against the Moroccan Riffs, in the 1920s, hardened the officers who commanded the combat units and intensified their preoccupation with death and purification through death. Morocco was also the source of the troops most loyal to the Foreign Legion officers: the Moors, North African natives who were practically raised from childhood as soldiers (Chapters 1-3).
The Falangists were also closely allied with the conservative Catholic Church in Spain...."

So, from this point you must do your own research and reading.
All I can add, we are swimming in a sea of NAZI garbage, refuse, the human detritus from WWII.
