SHARM EL SHEIK CONFERENCE, IRAN PRIVATIZATION & MORE

Thanks to a question, serendipitously, I wound up doing a search on my OLD blog for certain information, and, consequently, was reminded of some good links and information from before just as pertinent to now. Since my old, first, former blog never seems to work for the public, anymore, (it's been blocked for some time), I'll include at least two links from that entry of January, 2007, regarding Iran's privatization and, at the bottom of this post, I'll link to my January 2007 entry on the hope/possibility that it just MIGHT work for someone else, since there was more information than the following two links.
So, from my blog of January, 2007, regarding Iran's privatization, "National Conference on Privatization...":

www.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-17/0701166870180809.htm

And, from July, 2006:

www.montages.blogspot.com/2006/07/parviz-dawoodi-and-privatization-in.html

The question in Iran was not privatization, but, who will get what, as usual, competing and conflicting interests.
All preceding economic ties with the West in Iran's government, documented in the link, above, encompass, as well, a previous deal between Cheney's Halliburton and Iran's nuke negotiator, Cyrus Naseri and Oriental Oil Kish at the same time Naseri represented Iran when Sy Hersh was shouting, as usual, about bombing Iran.
And, then, my link currently to Morgan Stanley and the Persia Fund, as well as Iran's Parsian, Citigroup and Turkey's Akbank, just to name a few overlapping ties with the "enemy," not to mention Iran's many militias occupying Iraq and in it's government.
The entire narrative regarding Iran in the US media being completely fictional, including past history related to Iran's invasion of Iraq in the Iraq-Iran war, which I've had on many previous posts.
Fast forward to the immediate present.
In my entry of March 26, 2008, I highlighted a "deal" (see link within that entry) made between Cheney and Iran/Iraq's Maliki government and some of the other reasons I enumerated to eliminate/neutralize Sadr's militias:

www.karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2008/03/mopping-up-begins-in-earnest-in-iraq.html

And on April 14, 2008, a followup entry:

www.karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2008/04/iraq-exit-strategy.html

As everybody clearly sees, the first part of this arrangement, Sadr's military liquidation or neutralization occurring, an ongoing process.
Next, comes the battle for Mosul/Kirkuk and parallel regime change in Iran to make all policies congruent.
So, "Troops Mass as Attack on Mosul Looms":

www.iraqupdates.com/p_articles.php/refid/E2F-05-05-2008/article/30689

This comes simultaneous with Turkey's military bombing the PKK in Kurdistan.
Who is going to be fighting whom?
In conjunction with the above military maneuvers and developments and NOT having anything to do with bombing Iran, as the spin meisters and disinformation specialists from before continue and would have you believe, the following, "Warships Guard Iraq's Economic Lifeblood":

www.iraqupdates.com/p_articles.php/refid/E2F-05-05-2008/article/30678

Following immediately behind all this are deals with the oil majors, scheduled for June:

www.iraqupdates.com/p_articles.php/refid/E2F-05-05-2008/article/30680

As well as "mopping up" exercises represented above, the World Economic Forum is meeting in Egypt's Sharm El Sheik, May 18.
A complete list of their "prestigious" international attendees and a virtual who's who of the propertied class at their website, available in Arabic, as well:

www.weforum.org/en/index.htm

Effectively, they thumb their noses at recent Egyptian protests:

www.thedailynewsegypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID
=13476

It doesn't take complicated conspiracy theories to follow these overlapping and competing economic interests, including Iran's privatization and why Iran's Sadr and Ahmadimidgets overtly sectarian program, conflicting, competing militias and economic interests represent a threat and impediment to "stability and progress" as indicated above.
Furthermore, Ahmadimidget's sectarian and Fascist militias are now aligned with and protected internationally by Russia, due, in part, to Western attempts to encircle and strangle Gazprom.
For additional context and why there will be more, not less, militarization and polarization, related to all of the above, "Possible Outcomes of a Georgia-Abkhazian War":

www.en.rian.ru/analysis/20080505/106586596.html

And "....Georgian Troops Amassed in Border Area":

www.en.rian.ru/world/20080504/106491478.html

At the outset of the unilateral Bush-Cheney invasion and US-Iran's subsequent occupation of Iraq, a number of events happened that were not supposed to happen, unplanned, unanticipated, thus, necessitating adjustments and strategic, tactical shifts to try to accommodate these new, developing, fluid circumstances.

Iraq resistance was not supposed to be as militant and enormous as it was.

Putin was not supposed to re-nationalize Gazprom, as well as policies related to this direction.

Turkey's strong resistance and opposition to AKP policies was not supposed to happen and Turkey's independent minded military was not supposed to intervene and bomb the PKK.

And, Ahmadimidget was not supposed to become President in Iran.

These are but a few of the important highlights, with many more ramifications.

So, now, this is where "we/they" stand, above, and the policy shifts in response to all these developments.

Footnote.
As promised, above, here's the link to my blog entry of January, 2007, if it works:

www.karlmarxwasright.blogspot.com/2007/01/iraniraq-privatization-repercussions.html

MALIKI IN IRAN, GAZA, THE GRAND COMPROMISE

I know there's something wrong when I must reread my own blogs in order to distinguish fact from fiction.

First, I have something to say to ALL the various and sundry FAKE Left and OPPORTUNIST Opposition groupings, from the Trotskyites to the ANSWER coalition to our American, foundation, state sponsored UFPJ who are making lots of noise at the moment:

GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!

Say it loud and clear.
Do not say it lightly.
Take your moral outrage and shove it up your asses.
They have been amongst the foremost enablers of this process, in conjunction with our main culprits, our Fascist led labor unions.
If you feel compelled to participate with any of them, do so under your own umbrella, agenda and DEMANDS. Organize independently.
Be aware and go in with eyes wide open.
Do NOT, under any circumstances, do NOT follow their leadership.
(I will add something about this later).

Not once in all the material currently spewing forth about Gaza and Israel is IRAN and Iran's utterly genocidal, barbaric, sectarian, Nazi, Islamic policies and destructive, horrible role in de-nationalizing and depopulating Iraq and throughout the Middle East and Eurasia MENTIONED, much less opposed, with whom ALL, above, have collaborated both as conduits and apologists!!!
Not once.

It is a litany of the criminal Arab, US and Israeli regimes, which, of course, they are. God knows how many blogs I have had on this subject which is open for all to see.

But, without the COLLABORATION of Iran's barbaric, psuedo-religious, Islamic Fundamentalists, criminal Nazi Islamic militias, torture tactics and many Fascist front organizations, the others COULD NOT win in Iraq, much less elsewhere. As well as Turkey's privatizing AKP.

So, below, Iraq/Iran's Maliki is once more in Iran, getting his revised instructions and marching orders, no doubt.
But, there's a different scenario, now.

What I said in previous blogs about mopping up, regime change and congruency regarding Iraq/Iran is absolutely true and accurate.

Gaza is/was the opening salvo in this necessary process to achieve regional economic integration, congruency and privatized transformation.

In other words, a privatized Iran under auspices of the ubiquitous Morgan Stanley, the First Persia Fund AND their many international and Iranian cohorts and friends.
The Iranian Mullahs no more THE dominant controlling force within Iran.
I expect Iran to soon pronounce they are "liberalizing" and Ahmadimoron and friends finished. Iran will be having elections, soon.

The Islamic movement is DEAD!
Its historical anti-Soviet, anti-Communist function and evolution finished, as in Afghanistan/Pakistan, Chechnya, etc.
These counter-revolutionary, Fascist, obscenely criminal "freedom fighters" have outlived their usefulness.

And, with them Hamas and Hezbollah as power brokers, agents, either for themselves and/or Iran and/or the greater Middle East.
Their sponsorship is drying up.

With clear pre-agreement from US, Arab and other regional countries, such as Russia, Israel is the surrogate doing the dirty work for them all in Gaza and thus the criminal Iranian regime can distance itself, save face, have plausible deniability, etc, while simultaneously Muntadar al-Zaidi is tortured and imprisoned by these same people, a la Iran/Iraq's Muwafaq Al-Rubiae.
As Hitler destroyed his Frankenstein Brownshirts, so too Iran's Islamic Fascist surrogates and operatives are being liquidated, but, with Israel's help.
And, this process began with Sadr in Basra, southern Iraq.

All is political posturing, including ALL the garbage surrounding another petty criminal, thief and career Fascist opportunist, the US President, Obooma.
If things get bad enough, Obooma can take the fall and be sacrificed.
He is a disposable, dispensible, interchangeable, throwaway frontman in the perpetual Nazi machine.

As part and parcel of mopping up and events in Gaza, the independent, separatist Kurdish movement is finished, witness both Turkey and Iran bombing the PKK and Heritage Oil's disengagement from its previous partnership with the KRG and the mysterious Eagle Group of Iraq.
So, too, an independent, autonomous Basra region annexed to Iran.
Again, the UAE Dana Gas/Iran deal "suspended."
Not abrogated. Suspended...until when and what?
The answer to that question forthcoming soon, I'm sure.
Iran has ceeded its supremacy and military dominance to American forces in Iraq and elsewhere.
They have reached a compromise.
All of the above is PART of that compromise.
I'm NOT suggesting smooth sailing ahead.
On all this, see the following:
(Note: the date MEANT to say, I am sure, January, not February, 4, 2009. It was clearly a typo error):

http://www.historiae.org/notebook.asp

Now, let me add to my long list of nauseating, orchestrated, Fascist developments emanating out of the GCC, Switzerland of the Gulf, speculative bubble.
This time, it is France. France's prestigious Sorbonne University to receive "loans" from the GCC to finance the Paris Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi!!!
How much more is there to say?
How many more illustrations necessary, of which there are upteen numbers more?:

http://www.ameinfo.com/180121.html

And, while Gaza burns and Fascist Maliki goes to Nazi Iran for his marching orders, a three day conference opens in Cairo today on "...Economic Liberalization in the Arab World...":

http://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidKUN0048090105123035/lok152000090105

And, Obooma's Citigroup Nation, National Socialist (NAZI) agenda to continue its taxpayer funded bonanza subsidizing and enlarging private capital with the collaboration of our Fascist led labor unions, especially the Andy Stern gang of the SEIU, a major Obooma supporter.

Along these lines as I indicated above I will say something about alternative agendas to the historically collaborative, enabling and opportunistic anti-Soviet, anti-Communist, fake Left and their latest bete noire, morality play and cause celebre, Israel and the poor suffering Palestinians and Arabs.

Well, the following is from Israel, along with other articles available at the same website, including demonstrations about Gaza, etc.

If ANY meaningful resistance and opposition is to come out of this horrible disaster, class issues, privatization and nationalization, must come front and center, the ones around which we/they/all MUST coalesce, build, unite, including Greece, the US, Middle East, Asia, et.al and what was the FORMER Soviet Union which all the above fake Left counter-revolutionaries and opportunistic Opposition helped destroy:

EUROPE'S WAR, MULTIPLE FOLLIES, WWIII

I should really begin this blog by saying, "I told ya so," altho, it wouldn't do any good.

So, let's open today's entry with the following links to set the stage.

As usual, from my favorite source, the English language Turkish press, regarding the implications of Georgia, Russia and Iran:

www.hurriyet.com.tr/english/home/9670112.asp?gid=244&sz=9483

The above flows NOT from "neocons" but from

http://www.jbanc.org/

which I have had on my blogs for umpteen number of months, years. Totally disregarded.
Ignored.
They continue blabbing about Bush's war.

The implications of the Georgia explosion.
Front and center, NATO and EU expansion, very much at the heart of it all. Shit or get off the pot.
The US military has been doing the dirty work for awhile, in Iraq and elsewhere, while European multi-nationals are also reaping benefits from privatization, expansion and investment in Iraq, Iran, the GCC, Middle East, etc.
They have just been put on notice and sent a bill via Georgia.
This is hardly the end.
Just the beginning.
The opening salvo.

Next, regarding the pro-Iran lobby, here, and Europe, the following article,

http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m46410

And, a little footnote on the above.
During the Clinton Administration there was ALMOST a rapprochement between Iran and the US. I did some entries about this on my previous, now blocked, blog, regarding objections by the Pahlavi interests, represented by the Kenneth Timmerman-WorldNetDaily faction in the US.
For ALITTLE background reminder on the above, from 2000,

www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=6753


And, about Timmerman,

www.rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/3275.html

I assume that Morgan Stanley and their friends (the First Persia Fund) will make sure the Pahlavi interests are adequately represented in any future privatization developments.

As I have said, previously, Iran's present Fascist clerical regime WILL GO. They are damaged goods.
Obstructionist.
They have outlived their usefulness.
Iran's clerical regime and its militias will no longer have a MONOPOLY on power in Iran.
They will morph into something else, like Sadr.

Meanwhile, along these lines, Iraq is about to be divided.
In the north, Kurdistan, and the south, Basra, in a "federalism" scene which will conform geographically to the economic interests of Dana Gas, Crescent Oil, Heritage, Eagle Group of Iraq, etc.
Much info available on this on numerous websites, some of which I've had on my blog, in the past.
But, here's another one,

www.arablinks.blogspot.com/2008/08/basra-group-reported-starting-one.html

In the north of Iraq, the implications of an independent Kurdistan can be seen easily to potentially implicate and reconfigure the entire map, enlarge, encompass, threaten, impinge, impact, nibble away on the territorial integrity of Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, bypass, encircle, block and threaten Russia.
More regional instability, aggression, war.

A clear extension of and concomitant to events in Georgia, which has merely been the first shoe to drop in a number of regional shoes remaining to fall, from Kirkuk to regime change in Iran.
And, then, there's Ukraine.
And, you can expect the Armenia genocide resolution to pass through Congress easily the next time around.

What the Lord giveth, he taketh away. Any temporary deals, cease-fires, negotiated at the moment between Russia and Georgia will be null and void shortly by upcoming events related to Kirkuk, Basra and regional destabilization near Russia's borders. Georgia will become a cause celebre. A rallying cry.

And, the UN is planning to reestablish and expand its presence in what remains of Iraq.

In the South of Iraq, an independent Basra region will be formed, whether or not geographically annexed to Iran and/or the GCC.
The Basra region is already, de facto, economically aligned with Iran and the GCC both through their Dana Gas and Crescent Oil intertwined directorates.

Iran supplies Dana with its energy/gas.
Another fact conspicuously ignored.

Further, regarding Iran and Iraq, another free trade zone on the border, in addition to the present Free Trade Zone of Iran's Kish Island,

www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=66600&sectionid=351020102

Now, presented here is a nice roundup of some pertinent highlights surrounding Gazprom's recent expansion, as you can see,

www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=9853

In the above, he mentions that Iran can supply Nabucco gas to Europe. Well, that's certainly true.

BUT, it will be PRIVATIZED gas. Dana Gas?? NEVER MENTIONED.

There's a reason why Iran's Ahmadimidget got the cold shoulder from his recent visit to Turkey. NO DEALS completed. Everybody is waiting for the other shoes to drop. Ahmadimidget is damaged goods.

And, it is now, finally, openly discussed and acknowledged as a factor that Europe depends for almost half their energy supplies from Russia. So, Western Europe is strategically, economically "trapped" or dependent on Gazprom. THIS is the power/economic relationship that "they" feel must be changed. Western European multinationals are equally dependent or interdependent upon American military power to open up and maintain market access for them elsewhere. They are intimately intertwined, including Eastern Europe. So, ultimately, for their own economic interests, despite anything they say now, they WILL go along with the US/East European attempts to impede, inhibit, restrict Russia and Gazprom.

And, no problems would exist about Russia and Gazprom, IF Russia's Gazprom were not 51% state owned. Gazprom is not completely nationalized, but, it is 51% more than anything here, in the US. (People who live in glass houses should not throw stones). And, then, there's Russian collaboration with Venezuela and Venezuela's recent nationalization programs. Both fact and principle is THE threat. A precedent.

But, Russia, too, is caught with its own internal contradictions and fifth column. Its private oligarchs, Western investment and capital market integration. So, in this overall situation, either Putin/Russia intensifies re-nationalization, in which case there is a tangible reason for which to fight, or, they/he might as well avoid the whole show and simply give up now and become another player in the Fascist program of global privatization. There's no reason to bother fighting to defend and expand the interests of private oligarchs, Chubais, Fascist scum, et.al.

For some highlights in this ongoing development, I decided to simply add these links at the bottom, for more easy reading.

And, then, "...Abraaj Appoints CEO for Pakistan..."
Recall, the ubiquitous Hamid Jafar sits on the interlocking Board of Abraaj, Dana, Crescent, the American University, etc.
The question ought to be, "Where is Jafar NOT on the Board?

BASRA INVESTMENT AUTHORITY, RUSSIA, AND MORE

A curious response, it would seem, to my latest entry, July 1, 2008, on Iran's privatization, which makes absolutely no sense, as I will show subsequently,

www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=9501

This pretty much ignores everything I've had on my previous blogs and information available everywhere about the role of Iran's militias in Iraq and elsewhere, the privatization party in the GCC, Turkey, the KRG and AKP and the necessary reasons and urgency created for congruency and regime change in Iran.
Since I can't recapitulate everything from my previous blogs and information elsewhere, here is something from 2006 which states some of the most basic and fundamental contradictions, conflicts and problems created by Iran's militias in Iraq, acknowledged by the most reactionary, establishment front grouping, the CFR, and, I might add, if you will notice in the far upper right hand corner, partial funding from Morgan Stanley, (remember, the ubiquitous Morgan Stanley and Iran's First Persia Fund about which I commented previously),

www.cfr.org/publication/11001/challenge_in_iraqs_other_cities.html

And, of course, 2006 was the year of our policy shift/coup in the form of the November mid-term elections. From Chossudovsky's article, above, and others, those screaming most that the US is going to bomb Iran, one would think Iran is a victim, an embattled and innocent country, instead of an aggressor, occupier and collaborator with the US Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal, which is how and why we are in this predicament in the first place.
And, it would appear, from the Chossudovsky piece, that the issue is NOT privatization, but, somehow, "equitable" privatization. a kinder, gentler privatization.
The narrative is upside down, topsy-turvy, missing in the essential factors and ingredients.
As for Basra, mentioned in the CFR article, above, and its significance, here's the latest about something called the Basra Investment Authority,

www.zawya.com/video/default.cfm/sidVID20080706114927

I can't understand Arabic, unfortunately.
So, I have no idea what they are saying beyond the English caption.
But, the Basra Investment Authority is a British-Iraq, i.e. Iran collaboration.
And, here's more on this subject,

www.iraqupdates.com/p_articles.php/refid/E2F-07-07-2008/article/32699

But, the many, numerous internal problems, contradictions, conflicts, perpetual destabilization created by dissolving the Iraqi state and the Baath Party and Iran's involvement are simply all those and more stated by the 2006 CFR analysis, above, and much/most of the information on my blogs, including the current, major KRG/AKP/Turkey upset, the Iraq oil law, revenue sharing, financial distributions, provincial elections, Iranian/Kurdish militias, etc. So far, I have yet to see anyone from the fake Left support Turkey's opposition to its privatizing, pseudo-Islamic AKP front grouping.
As usual, instead, they are being left to hang for themselves, in favor of the fascist, privatizing, KRG/AKP and Talabani.
And, I might add, as well, while everybody has recently discovered Hunt Oil in Kurdistan, what about Heritage Oil and the Eagle Group of Iraq?
And their private Turkish partners, as well?
And a whole list of others.
Very selective expose, to say the least.
The latest on the KRG's privatizing crusade, again, about which NOTHING critical is being said,

www.iraqupdates.com/p_articles.php/refid/E2F-08-07-2008/article/33477

And, how about the potentially explosive secret oil deals in Iraq,

www.azzaman.com/english/index.asp?fname=news/2008-07-02/kurd.htm

Furthermore, Ahmadimidget, Iran's millionaire Mullahs and their fascist militias can make all the noise they want.
Let's remember WHO has and is footing the bills for Iraq's dismemberment and its occupation.
The occupation was outsourced.
Iran's militias are the hired help.
For an expression of this clear power relationship, check out the following, towards the bottom of this blog entry, referring to an Editorial from Al Quds,

www.arablinks.blogspot.com/2008/07/alhayat-prominent-political-source-told.html

Now, if Iran's Revolutionary Guards are so extraordinarily stupid as to CHOOSE confrontation, let themselves get blown away out of existence.

That's just fine with me.I have no problems with that.

Like I've said before, they are the most ungrateful recipient of American taxpayer largess. Fact is, Iran's militias ARE terrorist organizations. They ARE fascist collaborators. They have colluded and collaborated with the US to destroy the Arab, Baath Socialist state of Iraq. They are equally responsible. If they decide to become competitors, rather than partners, they will be blown away. I will shed no crocodile tears. Let the two destroy each other. But, the US is NOT LOOKING to bomb Iran. Just the opposite. However, the US is now forced to mitigate the disastrous results of their collaboration with Iran's militias and the many factors I've cited above. And, this is why I previously said Iranian regime change and congruency is necessary. First, came Sadr's militias. Now, the following, "Ahmadinejad on The Way Out,"

www.en.rian.ru/analysis/20080708/113540380.html

As for Russia and China, however, indeed, they are factors, invisible ones, to most everybody here because of our fake Left. But, Russia is front and center.
So, while on the subject of upside down history and selectivity, a prestigious figure of our fake Left and the Nation magazine, Stephen Cohen, (who is married to the Nation editor, Katrina Vanden Hueval) has just written an article about Russia AND appeared on C-Span to discuss his article on July 7, 2008.
For Cohen's discussion, as usual, simply go to the C-Span website and look under the box entitled, "Recent Programs," continue to scroll down it until you see his name, July 7 and the word Russia in it.
The program is approximately one hour.

http://www.c-span.org/

And, for a direct link to Cohen's article,

www.thenation.com/doc/20080714/cohen

And for the latest on Russia's internal, ongoing counter-revolution and "our" Western, privatizing oligarchs, here's Helmer's latest piece,

www.mineweb.com/mineweb/view/mineweb/en/page58?oid=56392&sn=Detail

So, McCain speaks truth.
Since everybody here and abroad, for the most part, has been and is busy collaborating to rewrite history regarding the USSR, and, subsequently, Iraq, to expand privatization, constrict rather than support and preserve economic nationalization, you/we all become more and more deeply intertwined, existentially, with an ever more great privatized, global economic "system."
We/you, the majority of the world's population, are all prisoners of this expanded system of "investment and profit," by definition.
Your jobs, your money, your pensions, your health care, your education, your transportation, your energy, your housing, you name it.
And, you can thank just about everybody, including yourselves, for deepening this dependency.
You have made your choices and now you will have to live with the consequences and results of them.
Enjoy!
Consequently, you can count on the next 100 years war of intensified imperialist rivalries, military warfare, class war and contradiction to keep the system afloat.
Welcome back to the world of WWI.
Of course, out of the ashes of WWI came the Bolshevik Revolution.

REVISITED--INITIATION OF IRAN-IRAQ WAR

Because it is SO relevant to all recent and past events, I decided to repost a blog entry from August, 2005, on my initial, currently blocked, blogspot.
In addition, below the following reproduced entry, I have a link from uruknet to this very same post.
Furthermore, apparently, the book to which I was referring, or, so I am informed, is available on the internet.
Nonetheless, because of its significance and the fact that links seem to disappear from the internet, I decided to republish it, anyway.
AND, the BOLDFACE, below, is MY emphasis and was not done in the initial post or in the book.
It exemplifies what I want most to emphasize.

And, also, I wish to add a comment, below, about the 1975 Algiers Agreement after reading my reproduced post/book excerpt.

So, first:

initiation of iraq-iran war
Here are a FEW excerpts from the book I named, previously, (see May 21, 2005, Iraq-Iran Conflict) regarding the Iraq-Iran Conflict, published in 1981 in Paris by the Institute of Studies and Research":

"....The hostility expressed by the Iranian demonstrators and leaders against Iraq was accompanied by aggressions and military provocations that have led to a state of war.

Before this degradation of the situation, the Iranian forces had committed 244 border violations or acts of aggression against Iraq by air, sea, and land in the period from February 23, 1979 to July 26, 1980. Among these acts should be included bombings of Iraqi border posts, the capture of soldiers belonging to border units, the interception of civil planes and aggressions against Iraqi and foreign ships in the Shatt-al-Arab.

The Iraqi forces answered these aggressions in trying to limit them. During this period, Iraq sent 240 official notes to the Embassy of the Iranian Republic in Baghdad giving an account of the aggressions, their date, form and consequences.

Moreover, Iraq sent official notes to most of the regional and international organizations: the League of Arab States, the UN, the Nonaligned Movement, the Organization for African Unity, the Conference of Islamic Nations, etc. Even tho these organizations were informed of the events having taken place on the Iraq-Iran border, Teheran did not take the notes of protest into consideration, thus violating international laws and rules as well as the conventions concluded between the two countries.

At the end of July 1980, movements and concentrations of Iranian troops were observed near the border with Iraq. The Iranian artillery started violently bombarding the Iraqi border posts.

It is thus that July 28th the post of al-Chib was attacked and seriously damaged. These skirmishes soon took the appearance of a real war. Teheran did not hesitate to boast:

'When the Iranian army marches toward Baghdad, no one will be able to hold it back. By means of a mere communique we shall be able to decree the fall of the Iraqi regime.'

By August, the amplitude and violence of the clashes became unbearable for the Iraqi authorities. On the 6th, for example, Iran tried to compromise the Soviet Union by demanding that it halt its deliveries of weapons to Iraq. August 27th, Teheran announced that combats had grown in importance in the Qasr-e-Shirin sector and had extended to all frontier posts in the region. The Iranian army used 'ground-to-ground' missiles for the first time.

On the morning of Thursday, Sept 4,violent air and naval fighting burst out after the shelling of several Iraqi villages....and the oil installations of Naft Khaneh by Iranian forces...Equally violent combats continued on Sept 5th and 6th. These brought about the destruction of the oil plants in that region as well as of numerous military posts....The Iraqi gov't was surprised by the intensity of these combats and attempted to put an end to the hostilities by diplomatic means. It sent an official note to the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad in which they were informed of the damage caused in Iraq by Iranian artillery.

The Iranian forces nevertheless pursued their operations.....Sept 9, the Iraqi army was moved to the border and following a violent struggle, forced the Iranians to retreat from the region....
...Afterwards, Iraq demanded by way of an official note that Iran return the Iraqi territories it was occupying in violation of the agreements concluded between the two countries, in particular, the 1975 Algiers treaty.

That note was left unanswered. On the contrary, Iran multiplied it's acts of aggression... (Pgs 106-108)....By September 21(1980), the Iraqi forces had finished liberating all territories attributed to Iraq according to the Algiers agreement.

Baghdad then proposed an opening of negotiations with Teheran in order to find a just solution to the conflict, that is, one that would take the interests of both countries into account while respecting the agreements concluded between them.

Iran rejected this offer and intensified its military operations....The Iranians set about the systematic bombings of Iraqi cities, factories, schools and hospitals and shelled the boats anchored in the Shatt-al-Arab. (pg 114).....

....The Iranian rejection of any attempt to settle the conflict was clearly evidenced by the declaration of Mohammed Mokri, Ambassador of Iran in Moscow who, during a press conference held Sept 29, indicated that Iran did not assign any great importance to the 1921 treaty with Russia, and specifically articles 5 and 6 which were denounced by the Islamic Republic.

Mr. Mokri added that the opening of negotiations with Iraq depended upon several conditions:

The downfall of the regime of Saddam Hussein and his replacement by the true representatives of the Iraqi people; Iranian occupation of the Iraqi city of Basra as a guarantee for payment of war indemnities.

After paying these reparations, the population of this city would be asked to pronounce itself by vote upon its connection to Iraq or Iran;

The organization of a vote in Iraqi Kurdistan for autonomy or for its attachment to Iran (Pg 130-131).....

...Further attempts were made to convince Iran to negotiate by the Foreign Affairs Ministers during the Conference of Nonaligned Countries, meeting in New Delhi from February 9-13, 1981, but, these too proved to be unsuccessful due to the unacceptable conditions set by Teheran for the opening of such talks.

This attitude sharply contrasts with that of the Iraqi leaders who during the same conference declared they would listen to any proposal for a peaceful settlement of the conflict...(pg. 155)"
End of book excerpts.

There's alot more, but, temporarily, I most stop. This just begins to give you a flavor of what's involved. The point of this book is its excellent documentation (the appendix is almost half the book, including maps) and it's historical background and context, which I haven't even touched, yet.

END OF REPRODUCED POST

And, here's a link for the same post, above, from uruknet:

http://www.uruknet.info/?p=41617

Now, you can read, below, as an arbitrary EXAMPLE, a DIFFERENT way in which the same story, above, was spun, with similar variants of a theme from MOST/MANY sources.

However, there is one point FIRST to which I would like to draw attention from the rather lengthly piece below.

A lingering question has long remained.
Why topple Iran's pro-American Nazi Shah puppet regime, in favor of an Islamic Fascist version?
What was the primary purpose, reason, objective?
Various theories and facts have been put forward.

It is MY OWN contention, hypothesis, however, that THE fundamental reason was due exactly to the 1975 Algiers Treaty, above, and a ceasefire of hostilities negotiated between the Shah and Iraq's Saddam Hussein.

And, to prove my point, here is a key EXCERPT from the link following:

"...In 1975, United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had sanctioned that Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, attack Iraq over the waterway, which was under Iraqi control at the time; soon after both nations signed the Algiers Accord, in which Iraq made territorial concessions, including the waterway, in exchange for normalized relations..."

It seems even Iran's Nazi Shah would or could not sacrifice himself and millions of his people to wage an aggressive, 8 year bloody war campaign in behalf of Western imperialist interests to overturn their neighboring, progressive Baath Arab Socialist Party in Iraq.
Enter, the October Surprise, Iranian hostage debacle, Carter-Reagan US Presidential s-election, then, Iran-Contra, and, the rest is history.
This PATTERN is also represented by the surrogate, crypto-religious war waged in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union (Russia), which COMPLETELY demolished and flattened Afghanistan and threw it back into the stone age and dust.

And, finally, here's the link from which I took the above quote/excerpt:

http://www.indopedia.org/Iran-Iraq_War.html

THE MORGAN STANLEY REVOLUTION

This entry continues from my post below.
Once again, the question WHO will seize power from present day NAZI Islamic Iran is foremost, front and center.
What KIND of revolution, outcome, government will finally emanate from the explosive situation in NAZI Islamic Iran?
WHAT is happening in the countries SURROUNDING NAZI Iran?
Is there an outpouring of THEIR people to express support for a popular insurrection within Iran which WILL affect ALL?
And, of course, the likes of Turkey's Islamic AKP, "whose passion is to sell state enterprises."

There is no question that recent events surrounding Mousavi's election were prompted, prepared, organized, arranged, known, anticipated for some time now.
Rafsanjani was supporting Mousavi.
The Pahlavi circle is actively involved.
And, then, there is the Morgan Stanely First Persia Fund, Bank Melli and their connections.
And, VP Davoodi.

They all knew and anticipated the election would be rigged and Mousavi would contest it.
AND, so did I.
That is, I knew there would be a precipitating event for Iran/Iraq regime change, congruency, mopping up, etc.
But, I could only SPECULATE on the nature of the trigger event.

Meanwhile, United Suckers and Assholes obscene, neutered, impotent, petty CIA piece of trash sitting in our White House, the House slave, makes a cameo appearance, like the Wizard of Oz, and parrots scripted empty rhetoric handed to him about democracy.
And, he, too, is given cover of legitimacy by our media and our docile population, like the moron preceding him.
They all spin the story so you know how and what to think about it. And, they turn on a dime, rewriting, refashioning, molding history to suit their purposes.
Never mind that WE actively collaborated to put this NAZI Iranian garbage into power in the first place, including the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld crowd, busy hugging their Islamic NAZI Mullah Frankenstein creation. Now their Iranian Islamic Brown Shirt Frankenstein no longer serves their purposes and must be "terminated, liquidated."
Their marriage of convenience undone.

There is one neighboring country, for sure, most affected, Iraq, or, what remains of its dismembered body.

At the moment, as you all know from reading this blog, oil and gas contracts are in total dispute and disarray, INCLUDING the highly significant NABUCCO gas pipeline, contested between Iran's present Baghdad Oil Minister and the KRG in Erbil with extending, multiple, manifold regional contradictions.
But, the above is the nub, the center, the heart of the many contradictions.
The question of authority between Erbil and Baghdad, oil and gas contracts.

And, IF Iran spirals or descends into anarchy, if nobody assuredly seizes power, which I suspect will happen, or, the wrong forces seize power, then, a much greater regional conflagration will take place, since all is fluid, dynamic, in limbo at the moment.
More than Iraq may well disintegrate when all is said and done.

Thus, I thought the following very interesting, especially because ALL regional governments actually SUPPORT current events in NAZI Iran for the reasons I have explained above and in my many blogs, repeatedly. They just will not say so.
But, they all need, want, desire NAZI Islamic Iran/Iraq mopping up, congruency, regime change to expedite their regional goals, program of economic integration and privatization and to eliminate the destabilizing, expansionary, inflammatory, pernicious effects of NAZI Iran's Islamic militias and hegemony.
Of course, NONE of the next door governments desire real revolution, obviously, which is why events next door, nearby, are making them all abit nervous.
So, the possibility of intervention, damage control, containment, exists.
Thus...
"Riyadh Denies Plan to Let Israeli Jets Use Airspace"‏:

http://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidGN_21062009_10324625/lok000000090621

Before everybody gets all excited about the above, consider, if Iran's present NAZI Islamic militias and Revolutionary Guards go on an all out military posture, killing, jailing, brutalizing, rampaging, suppressing, repressing, who is it will stop them?
What will happen if all out class warfare develops?
What IF the military, or, sections of the police, military revolt?
Or, fight with and amongst each other.

What if the Iranian working class calls for a general strike and/or seize their industries, in conjunction with the rest of the population, then, once again, the NAZI Islamic regime either retaliates with brute force or collapses.

And, then, what?

Either way, with every and all possible considered scenarios, escalating civil war and direct confrontation is inevitable, within and without Iran, further regional dislocation, chaos and militarization,
A MIDDLE EAST BIG BANG, explosion, has already begun, a consequence of the destabilization initiated by the Iraq invasion and occupation.
As I said in my post, below...
PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE yourselves everywhere, strategically, tactically, programmatic and pragmatically, with no illusions, to exploit and seize the moment and its concomitant, pregnant eventualities before OTHERS do so...

"BETTING ON IRAQ," NAZI IRAN and KIRKUK

Below are a couple of articles which merely reaffirm previous posts:

"Gulf Firms Keen to Hop on Iraq Growth Wagon":‏

http://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidGN_22082009_10342386/lok033039090822

And, "Betting on Iraq":

http://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidZAWYA20090822073221/lok073200090822

Now, regarding NAZI Iran/Persia's integral role, factor in the Iraq outcome alluded to above.

Following is but a SMALL breakdown, a brief refutation for all the many deniers, regarding just SOME of the numerous, competing economic investments surrounding NAZI Iran's Ahmadimoron, his/their Revolutionary Guards, militias, Mullahs and the economic infighting in Iran, as elsewhere, over who gets what in Iran/Iraq privatization.

HOWEVER, IMPORTANTLY, STILL NOT itemized, specified, enumerated, below, are the multitude of foreign commercial interests invested, allied and competing in Iran AND STILL not indicated below is the ALL IMPORTANT connection surrounding who in Iran, by extension, will control Iraq/Iran's Baghdad Oil Ministry and government offices and Baghdad/Iran's already, but, accelerating, intractable power struggle between the KRG/Baghdad/Iran over Kirkuk,
oil contracts, pipelines, revenue authorities and thus ALL of Iraq, with greater regional implications.
The KRG/KIRKUK/BAGHDAD/IRAN power struggle represents competing, burgeoning, potential, regional EMPIRES, octopi, like that of Hamid Jafar's Dana Gas/Crescent Oil/Abraaj.
Thus, the struggle and economic CONTRADICTIONS represented above are gargantuan with global and regional ripples and repercussions.
And, that is why EVERYBODY and his brother, globally, is, now, and will continue being involved.
And, as you will see, below, the author, clearly, is an ideologue, a supporter, of "free-markets," but, he simply is not an APOLOGIST for Ahmadimoron, which is more than I can say for ALL the ersatz, fake, bogus Opposition/Left/Resistance in this country and elsewhere combined:

http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=2&id=17836

KABUKI THEATRE USA and IRAN STYLE

The following link below concerns organized, staged, Fascist, mob, gang, fights, battles at US town hall health care meetings. It misses one other important commonality, analogy.
Iran's Fascist internal power struggle and Baghdad's NAZI IRAN Oil Minister and militas reflected in Iraq/Iran competitive rivalries.

These double, triple, quadruple Fascist mob groupings, thugs, are coequals.
The differences are a matter of degree and style, but, not substance.

In BOTH, ALL cases, the REAL, underlying issues, such as that represented in the US by universal, national, Not-for-Profit, Single Payer Medical Insurance and Iran's occupation of Iraq and its subsequent privatization are OFF THE TABLE.

Not for discussion. Not mentioned. Not factors and NOT organizing principles:

http://www.singlepayeraction.org/blog/?p=1320

However, BOTH schisms, and elsewhere, open the door for more PRINCIPLED clarification of class confrontation, organization, opposition, resistance and UNITY around privatization versus nationalization, revealing the inherently fundamental weaknesses, fissures, flaws and contradictions in our present anachronistic, debased and debauched economic system and its state power structure.

Here, in United Suckers and Assholes territory, our manufactured Right hand is called upon to rescue and upstage our manufactured, FAILING ersatz Left hand Democratic NAZI Dictatorship, thereby, deflecting away from the common denominator and MAIN issue, universal, single payer health care.
In so doing, the Right actually HELPS our single payer cause.
They both begin rapidly losing any semblence of substantive difference, credibility, legitimacy, cancelling, negating each other and revealing the irrationality, illogic, inconsistencies, trivialities of their supposed, but, false, antithetical solutions as the flip, reverse side of the same coin.

Even the Business Channel is more forthright, asking why do we not OVERTLY discuss national, universal single-payer as opposed to the bogus, Byzantine labyrinth, maze of the Democratic proposed health care bill, which basically assures NO single payer, but, instead, further tax subsidization for PRIVATE insurance companies.
Thus the orchestrated Kabuki Theatre medical insurance town hall meeting distraction, fights, above.

Sandwiched between the manufactured, false, bankrupt dichotomies and NOT represented by media coverage is everyone else and the solution of national, universal, single-payer health care.
THE bogey man.

Only one thing is missing here and elsewhere.
Institutional,organized class representatives to seize power, seize the moment, seize the opportunity, seize the initiative because HERE United Suckers and Assholes institutionalized labor representatives, our SEIU Andy Stern led gang and AFL-CIO (CIA) and their ersatz Left Foundation and State Dept clones are part and parcel of our Fascist, crypto-Nazi Democratic Dictatorship, i.e, an intrinsic ingredient represented in the false, stylized, fashioned dichotomy of Kabuki Theatre politics.

Thus, our official class representatives represent NO opposition where they should be the LEADING voice. A political vacuum. But, our audacious, spontaneous, ad-hoc, Single-Payer coalition advocates have come to the rescue and filled this gaping void and THEY serve as a PRINCIPLED political opposition and catalyst since no other one exists, which, in turn, has necessitated this enormous organized response, outpouring, deflection, at our health care town hall meetings.

And, in NAZI Islamic Iran a somewhat comparable situation exists.

However, the explosive economic and military contradictions surrounding Baghdad/KRG/Iran sits in the middle of a regional tinderbox of competing commercial interests, a veritable ticking time bomb, which threatens to ignite, explode and engulf everyone, continuing, of course, an already unstable, highly flammable, NAZI occupation, invasion and counter-revolutionary, privatization program both in Iraq, Iran, the greater MENA region, extending through to the Caucasus and the entire globe.

Here is but one more article about Iran's Privatization:

http://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidZAWYA20090811070304/lok070300090811

BUT, the GLOBAL tide IS turning.

First, however, it is necessary to expose, recognize and smash through the intentionally erected barricades and tactics of the FAKE, ersatz, created, bogus Left opposition to a unified, global PRINCIPLED class front.

Here, in United Suckers and Assholes NAZI Dictatorship it began and is best represented, highlighted by our Single-Payer health care coalition, which helped bring this moment to its present crisis. Again, what is missing in action is our ORGANIZED labor leadership, seated on the opposite side.

Likewise regarding Iran AND Iraq.

Their position should be a big, humongous, gigantic NO to privatization, NO to both NAZI Islamic Iran AND Iraq's present criminal governments and a withdrawal of ALL FOREIGN, which includes, IRANIAN, MILITARY FROM IRAQ.

Be aware, everyone, the G20 will meet in United Assholes and Suckers Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan NAZI Dictatorship this September in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

And, you can rest assured, the ersatz, fake, bogus, Left, Opposition is already working overtime to make sure THEY represent the voice of the so-called Opposition so that NONE of the above becomes reality.

NAZIFIED TURKEY & THE WORLD WITH ACTIVE HELP OF US FAKE LEFT

First, "Turkey's Leftist Anti-AKP Journalist to be Taken to Court on Saturday":

www.hurriyet.com.tr/english/turkey/8516138.asp?gid=231&sz=64778

More on the above, "...Arrests Broaden to Include Party Leader, Journalists":

www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid
=99720

At the nub of the issue, Turkey's "Foreign Investment at Stake":

www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid
=99405

Not one peep, word of opposition, mention or even recognition against these policies and Nazification of the Turkish state from the US state/corporate/foundation sponsored fake, phony Left/opposition and totally corrupt, despicable, despotic US union leadership.
So far, not one word of support for Turkey's opposition to its Fascist, Islamic AKP and their privatization agenda.
Of course, not anything, equally, about last week's, militant, Greek general strike, not to mention anywhere else on the globe.
How about this one, regarding the privatization of French ports and an upcoming 24-hour strike organized by the CGT, which I read about from Turkish newspapers and other foreign sources, not here, of course:

www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid
=99717

Here, they can't even find the results of the French provincial elections. NOW, A FOLLOWUP ON FALLON'S RECENT RESIGNATION:
Certainly, the pseudo-Left has not managed to find Iran-US collaboration policy in Iraq.
To further demonstrate the Big Lie technique and how it works, in a previous entry regarding US Central Command and Admiral William Fallon's sudden resignation, I speculated that Fallon's hasty departure, which occurred just after Iran's Ahmadimidget's Baghdad visit, possibly, had more to do with Fallon's OPPOSITION, or, disagreement to/with current, absolutely, utterly horrible, disastrous, despicable US policy of Iran collaboration and their pseudo-Islamic brand of Nazism and Fascism in Iraq and elsewhere in the region, than anything else.
Interestingly, in a speech Fallon gave this past week at the Navy League's Sea-Air Space Global Maritime Security conference, Fallon distinctly was CRITICAL, NEGATIVE, about Iran's destructive role both in Iraq and the region, generally, greatly substantiating what I hypothesized. Unfortunately, I could find no transcript of his speech, featured at the following link, under Wednesday, March 19, from 8-10PM:

www.sasexpo.org/2008/sas-program.htm

But, if one goes to the http://www.c-span.org/ website, you can/will find a video of his remarks.
While the following, for example, recognizes US-Iran collaboration in Iraq, "From the Department of Corrupt Bargains," to which I will link, momentarily, it, too, begins with the compulsory Big Lie, spin/propaganda technique that this policy is "against US wishes," i.e., it was not a planned event, planned since the inception of the Iran-Iraq war, about which I have had so much on previous posts, not to mention other sources.
At minimum, see my two entries from 2005 from my previous blog, first, inception of the Iran-Iraq War:

www.uruknet.info/?p=41617

AND, SIMULTANEOUS to when Seymour Hersh was blabbing about Cheney bombing Iran, "Iran's Top Nuke Negotiator [Nasseri] Faces Charges Over Halliburton Ties":

www.iranfocus.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3040

So, with the preceding in mind, read the following about Iran and the US in Iraq, "From the Department of Corrupt Bargains":

http://www.uruknet.info/?p=42287

Of course, our pseudo-Left, fake opposition can not manage to find opposition and resistance to Nazi and Fascists almost anywhere on the globe, including the Baltics, Ukraine, you name it.
They're too busy, instead, supporting Nazi/Fascist sponsored "independence, autonomy and self-determination" from Kosovo to Tibet to Kurdistan to the Caucasus and points in between and elsewhere.
Thus, "Another Kurdistan in the Making":

www.uruknet.info/?p=42298

Furthermore, this ties in directly to the US Presidential race.
The Big Lie, of course, is that Obama's splash represents ANY change from the above, somehow he is an opposition candidate of any sort or kind, whatsoever.
That's how he/it is being packaged.
Just the opposite.
Obama's role, as I've indicated in previous posts, will assure that the policies represented above stay on track and to help Republicans win the next election.
Obama's ROLE is totally, completely disingenuous, nauseating, despicable, manipulative and hypocritical.
His campaign is an ersatz one.
The "great uniter" divides, obfuscates and blows smoke.
Towards these ends, his Karl Rove, Republican sponsored and choreographed campaign of dirty tricks, delegate blackmail, crossover voting, and Nazi orchestrated rallies are consummately successful and Americans, as usual, are total fools and idiots.
Everything they get they have well deserved and earned.
And, while speaking of distractions, fools and idiots, as US and Western state sponsored terrorism and covert actions are busy doing their dirty work in Tibet, guess who was recently visiting not too far away, in another part of China, Mongolia, that is?
Of course, America's unofficial, roving Ambassador at Large, Saudi Prince Alwaleed Talal:

TRANS SAHARAN GAS PIPELINE, ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE, IRAN/IRAQ and DEMS

First, I suggest everyone do some background reading on the above subject.
As usual, it helps explain the NOT so sudden interests in Nigeria and surrounding African environs.
Here's alittle tidbit, snippet to help you get started:

http://www.africaintelligence.com/AEM/spotlight/2010/01/20/a-highly-vulnerable-trans-saharan-gas-pipeline%2C78636642-EVE-login

Next, I agree with the following editorial below, namely, "Dump the Dems," EXCEPT for one UNmentioned, UNnoted, most important fact, to which I will return following the editorial below.
Of course, you may all recall, if you have been reading my posts for some time, I PROMISED at Obooma's inauguration, that is, funeral, the NAZI Obooma Democratic Party CITIGROUP/EXXON/MORGAN Dictatorship was D.O.A. (Dead On Arrival).
And, so it is:

http://www.singlepayeraction.org/blog/?p=2037

HOWEVER, continuously UNmentioned, UNnamed, AS WELL, is the nasty, obstructive, collaborative, cooperative role of our institutionalized Fascist led AFL-CIA and SEIU labor front organizations both domestically and internationally.
THEIR institutional resources and organizational tools, collected from working class dues, are/were THE MOST formidable and responsible for hindering, subverting any and all attempts to form a single, unified, united, broad based, PRINCIPLED CLASS opposition domestically and abroad.
THEY, for example, are/were the ones here using their extensive financial resources MOST ACTIVELY to divide, conquer, divert, lobby and organize a BOGUS, RED HERRING public option medical alternative AWAY from a demand for ONE national Single-Payer medical insurance for all.

Our current labor unions are an arm piece, extension, of the Democratic Party for whom they actively campaign and economically contribute, not to mention, as well, as I have repeated ad nauseam, organized labor's private corporate pension fund investments.
AND, as well, as I have indicated, they operate similarly abroad.
NOW, for example, they are in NAZI Iran as well as having cloned themselves in Iraq's counter-revolutionary puppet government.
Should you doubt my previous assertions about an OBVIOUS two track covert and overt destabilization coup agenda for Iran's PRESENT Sistani/Ahmadimoron/Shahristani regime, here it is, below.
Having first, upon occupation, dissolved Iraq's former umbrella and Communist WFTU affiliated labor organization, Iraq's present Oil unions are now fragmented and allied, instead, with the anti-Communist ILO and AFL-CIA.
Our CIA anointed labor unions exist in both places, and, of course, here, to insure, like a controlled demolition, NO PRINCIPLED class resistance, militant labor unity, action and/or organization for NATIONALIZATION or re-nationalization of industry and/or natural resources exists.
Wherever and with whomever they work abroad, they receive official covert support and funding TO CONTROL and MANIPULATE THE OUTCOME of manufactured, covert change, revolution, insurrection, coup, through their labor recruits, conduits, organizations and INSURE NO radical change, nationalization and that the ANOINTED candidate, whomever designated, comes into office.
Notice clearly, for example, HOW the following is presented about NAZI Iran by our covert AFL-CIA, ILO operatives, US Labor Against War, what or which information, historical facts are missing, contorted, omitted, distorted.

And, of course, NOTHING said about Iran IN Iraq nor the very same Iraq unions screaming against Baathists:

http://www.labornotes.org/blogs/2010/01/interview-iran-labor-activists-face-repression

So, at this juncture in the puppet, reactionary Iraq/Iran/KRG/Middle East conundrum, it appears quite likely and possible to me that NO Iraq provincial elections will occur and FURTHER military escalation inevitable.
Iraq's present Fascist occupation government null and void, not that it isn't already, if NO election occurs, or, one deemed "undemocratic."
That has international implications.
Alongside Iran/Iraq, signs of coordinated change also occurring in Turkey.
I am NOT sure IF Turkey's present NAZI AKP government is being delegitimized, destabilized, since they are allied with NAZI Iran's Sistani/Ahmadimoron.
There have been some curious reports congruent with the above events that make me ponder this possibility.
So, international alliances, sides, are lining up.
Only needed now is one spark, a provocation of some kind, more, that is, than that already occurring both in Iran and Iraq, bombs, protests, assassinations, murder, to bring WAR OUT into the open and into the Straits of Hormuz and the contested waterways surrounding the African/Middle East Gulf region.
Pandora's Box of competing, conflicting, intensifying, barbaric, evil, insidious Great Power imperialist rivalries, and, some lesser, opportunistic, upstarts, as well, are back open for business, quite literally, front and center.
Welcome BACK WWI or, depending whether or not one counts the Cold War, WWIII or WWIV.

LNG, SO AFRICA & LATEST BYE BYE AHMADIMORON CHAPTER

In earlier posts I highlighted development of a dangerous, explosive, capital intensive and, of course, PRIVATE, burgeoning, global LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) empire, developing as I write, adding to current deep water oil and gas drilling, long distance transport, etc.
Of course, our anti-Communist, Neanderthal NAZI marching Opposition can not find any of the above processes or bother themselves about such niceties.
They are too busy protesting nothing, rallying and organizing around empty rhetoric and manufactured issues, simultaneously continuing to DEFLECT, undermine and obstruct what little remnant of progressive opposition exists abroad or here, finishing off their insidious, covert operative job to enhance, enable and extend counter-revolutionary NAZI resurgence and its/their PRIVATIZATION.
Anyway, rather than choose one or two out of MANY LNG reports, I thought I would add just a reminder.
You can research yourselves, like everything else on my posts, PUBLICLY available information.
IF one bothers looking, you will find QATAR a major exporter and developer of LNG and its major destination being EUROPE.
The US also is an LNG importer, but, destined to become exporter as well.
Of course, ASIA involved, too.
LNG terminals exist and more scheduled for construction.
Multinational PRIVATE energy MAJORS like EXXON, CHEVRON, BP, TOTAL, SHELL represent SIGNIFICANT PLAYERS in LNG development.
Additionally, an enormous ship building tanker industry boom necessitated for long distance LNG ocean transport, another monstrosity, once again, under guise of alternative, "Green" energy.
Extraordinary amounts of capital intensive equipment, resources and expenditures required to proliferate this irrational, highly insane, flammable, dangerous, UNNECESSARY long distance LNG industry, representing nothing but sheer MADNESS!!
The entire venture is MADNESS!!
And ALL around the globe follow quietly like lemmings falling off a cliff allowing themselves to be MORTGAGED, once again, INTO A HORRIFIC ECONOMIC, ENERGY DEPENDENCY HOLE with NO outspoken, militant Opposition whatsoever.
Do I see or hear our BULLSHIT, ANTI-COMMUNIST, NAZI FRONT GROUPINGS, ERSATZ LEFT OPPOSITION, whatever you wish to call them, TRAITORS, SELL OUTS AND OFFS, PROSTITUTES, WHORES and/or their collaborative LABOR PARTNERS in crime do or say ANYTHING ABOUT LNG development?
A rhetorical question.
So, all can go collectively down, along with everything else, like our abysmal Single Payer capitulation and quiescence, here, an LNG purgatory and Hell drain.

SOUTH AFRICA

The same folks above crying crocodile tears over present day South African impoverishment and COSATU's current WAGE strike, need look no further than SOUTH AFRICA's WHOLESALE INDUSTRIAL, NATURAL RESOURCE and ENERGY SELL OFF AND OUT by those named in previous posts.
Unless COSATU and South Africa's ENTIRE army, police and labor force, exercise power in an organized, revolutionary insurrection NATIONALIZING, seize ALL industrial assets and natural resources, what little remains of an already vanishing public sector will diminish, "wither away," disappear correspondingly.
By the way, counter-revolutionary PRIVATIZING China apparently is amongst South Africa's major investors:

And, the latest episode below in our most recent, SHAMEFUL, daily TV soap opera, "As Our NAZI Counter-Revolutionary World Turns," the BYE BYE NAZI IRAN AHMADIMORON/SISTANI/SHAHRISTANI IRAQ/IRAN REGIME CHANGE, COUP, CONGRUENCY scenario.
EXCERPT first, link follows.
No doubt, Hamid JAFAR'S Crescent/Dana Gas/Abraaj octopus being implicated, connected and/or presumed below, since Jafar and his counter-revolutionary NAZI Putin/Russia recently powwowed together, a report to which I linked in a previous post (**reminder after):

When people CONTINUE rewriting, regurgitating and spinning history with such large, bold, GRANDIOSE, NAZI BIG LIES, then, what is there to say??

SO, TO ALL ABOVE I SAY, GO FIGHT THE REST OF YOUR LIVES!
Continue doing what you do best, for which you are paid and hired.
It's enough to make myself and any normal, sane person sick with nauseous vomit and repulsion.
Is it any wonder people DISENGAGE from political activity and can, do NOT associate with the dregs of human scum, refuse, garbage, trash, NAZI ghosts permeating, stalking, walking the world after 60 MILLION dead, MILLIONS MORE disabled, maimed, displaced, tortured, traumatized, sacrificed, entire countries flattened, destroyed in WWII!
Why bother having sacrificed SO MUCH only to HAND THEM THAT WHICH THEY DESIRED IN THE FIRST PLACE??
It makes a mockery of WWII and all that flows from it.
It goes beyond obscene blasphemy.
THESE BARBARIC, PRIMITIVE, RETROGRADE NAZI PARASITES, GREEDY PROFITEERS, WAR CRIMINALS, MERCENARY ARMIES and their INSIDIOUS, PRIVATE CORPORATIONS MUST BE LIQUIDATED, ABOLISHED, DESTROYED, TERMINATED, OUTLAWED, PERMANENTLY, ONCE AND FOR ALL, FOREVER, ALONG WITH their THEIR ENABLERS, APOLOGISTS and COLLABORATORS.
NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS.
Restoration of ALL formerly nationalized, collectivized assets, industries and resources EVERYWHERE with expansion further.
NO compromise, appeasement, apologetics or collaboration possible with NAZISM/FASCISM!
One NEVER is "alittle bit pregnant."
