For too long you have been making anti-Iranian rants on your radio show, you have incited people to attack Iran, celebrated whenever something bad has happened to Iran, and shown a complete ignorance of Iranian affairs, history, and culture. Worse, you are doing this at a time when Iran is being menaced by a potential attack from america or it’s zionist puppet israel, two allies who betrayed Iran in the 1970’s, and I and others are fed up with you bashing our heritage and culture. Here I will address the problem I and other Iranians have with your rants.
You continue to bash the nation of Iran, constantly referring to Ahmadinejad as “the hitler of Iran”, bashing Iran’s government, military, economy, and history. You have even said on your show that bombing Iran would make Iranians everywhere free. By you saying these you show you are an ignorant bigot who hides behind a radio studio and bloated PhD’s which were given to you in subjects NOT related to politics, military science, or the history and culture of Iran and the region. Rather, you spew the brainwash which was foistered on you in the public school system of new york city which ruined the minds of entire generations and created ignorance among such a large segment of america’s population that it was one factor in america’s decline and cultural degeneracy, not to mention the reason for people in authority who deprived many people from Iran and other parts of the World of their rights and the reason many suffered abuses at the hands of america’s government and society, particularly before the 1960’s. Had you put aside your bigotry you would have noticed that many allegations of human rights violations in Iran are based on heresay and lies, and that people under Ahmadinejad have more rights than they did under khomeini. You would have seen that the “green movement” was the creation of dick holbrooke and the council on foreign relations, the very people you claim to despise. You apparently don’t realize that the revolution on 1978-9 in Iran only succeeded because america and israel decided to back khomeini against Iran’s legitimate ruler, Mohammed Reza Shah, or do you forget how Iran had been kind to jews since the time of Daryush and had saved them many times, or that the first country to defeat George III’s England was Iran under Karim Khan Zand, five years before the conflict at Lexington and Concord, and that this action was just one in a line of betrayals by those countries. Then again, you don’t understand Farsi, for if you did you would know that Ahmadinejad said he would wipe Zionism of the map, NOT israel.
Which leads me to the second concern. You are an overt zionist, support israel right or wrong, and tout judaic values as if they are the greatest thing on earth. Not once do you mention Zoroaster, Zoroastrianism, or the fact that much of Judaism, including kashrut law, comes from Zoroasrianism, or are you afraid to acknowledge the Iranian roots of faiths like judaism, christianity, and islam? I bet you are too afraid to meet with Rabbi Dov Weiss, like I and Ahmadinejad have done on separate occasions. You would have probably cowered if you had been anywhere near the picket line I and Rabbi Weiss was and when confronting mort klein in October 2004, where Rabbi and klein had an excellent conversation on how the coming of the jewish messiah and the reemergence of the new israel will be a metaphysical one, not the physical one the zionists did, like you cower whenever a protest march comes anywhere near you like you have said on the air many times. Then again, you probably ignore facts like how herzl was censored for advocating pedophilia and making open threats to heads of state, or how the rothschilds treatd jews harshly on the yishuv settlements of Palestine, or how lord Rothschild persuaded balfour to act only once he knew Jerusalem was under british control in October 1917, or how the Zionists collaborated with the Rothschild grandson adolf hitler and other Nazis who hated jews because they were encouraged to by jews in German society to bring about the holocaust, which was essentially the massacre of jews by other jews for power control.. Then again you are probably proud of this, as you glorify zionist massacres of Palestinians and other civilians as acts of patriotism. You even ignore that Judaic values are the basis of the abuses and tortures among christians and muslims and that those values are the real rot of western civilization, NOT the foreigners you like to scapegoat on the air and in print.
Then again, what else can we expect from one as you? You who admit that you are afraid to debate your views with anyone in any forum except on your radio show where you repeatedly twist people’s words out of context. You who can’t understand that which does not conform to your own mindset and who labels the very same in a negative manner which only causes conflict. You who compare yourself to Paul Revere while behaving like Julius Streicher. How can we expect you to even understand anything about Iran when you can’t understand the World you live in? Know this mr. new york city jew that in the neighborhood you grew up in were many people of Iranian ancestry who had Muslim ancestors, including my grandfather who ran a lab and clinic in Mount Vernon near the Bronx and Yonkers, who was one of your doctors as a kid. Iranians like him who went through worse than you and your family helped bring you into the World, people like me are more than capable of bringing you out of it.

Iran, the UN, and recent troubles facing Iran
Below is the link to and the text of what Ahmadinejad said at the UN recently. More important are the fact the following events occured around the same time.
1. Russia backed out of a sale of Surface-to-Air missiles to Iran, claiming UN sanctions which Russia has repeatedly ignored in regards to Iran.
2. The nigger in the white house spews the same menacing messages his zionist pals he put in the white house have said menacing Iran which happened after
3. it was revealed the anti-Iranian protests were put on by stand with us, an openly zionist organization.
4. Both twitter and facebook, both online services which have strong zionist ties, experienced online troubles, as did chase bank, another zionist entity.
This is not coincidence and something menacing Iran is clearly afoot.

***********************************************************
Mr. President,
Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am grateful to the Almighty God who granted me the opportunity to appear before this world assembly once again. I wish to begin by commemorating those who lost their lives in the horrible flood in Pakistan and express my heartfelt sympathy with the families who lost their loved ones as well as with the people and the government of Pakistan. I urge everyone to assist their fellow men and women as a humane duty.
Let me thank H.E. Mr. Ali Abdussalam Treki, the President of the he sixty-fourth session of the United Nations General Assembly, for all his efforts during his tenure. I also would like to congratulate H.E. Mr. Joseph Deiss, the President of the sixty-fifth session of the United Nations General Assembly and wish him all success.
In the past years, I spoke to you about some of the hopes and concerns, including family crises, security, human dignity, world economy, climate change as well as the aspiration for justice and lasting peace.
After about one hundred years of domination, the system of Capitalism and the existing world order has proved to be unable to provide appropriate solution to the problems of societies, thus coming to an end. I shall try to examine the two main causes of this failure and picture some features of the ideal future order.
A) Attitudes and Beliefs
As you are well aware, the divine prophets had the mission to call everyone to monotheism, love and justice and show mankind the path to prosperity. They invite men to contemplation and knowledge in order to better appreciate the truth and to avoid atheism and egoism. The very nature of the message of all prophets is one and the same. Every messenger endorsed the messenger before him and gave glad tidings about the prophet to come, and presented a more complete version of the religion in accordance with the capacity of the man at the time. This continued up to the last messenger of God who presented the perfect and all inclusive religion.
In opposition to that, the egotist and the greedy stood up against this clear call, revolting against the message.
Nimrod countered Hazrat Abraham, Pharaoh countered Hazrat Moses and the greedy countered Hazrat Jesus Christ and Hazrat Mohammad (Peace be upon them all). In the recent centuries, the human ethics and values have been rejected as a cause for backwardness. They were even portrayed as opposing wisdom and science because of the earlier infliction on man by the proclaimers of religion in the dark ages of the West
Man's disconnection from Heaven detached him from his true self.
Man with his potentials for understanding the secrets of the universe, his instinct for seeking truth, his aspirations for justice and perfection, his quest for beauty and purity and his capacity to represent God on earth was reduced to a creature limited to the materialistic world with a mission to maximize individualistic pleasures. Human instinct, then, replaced true human nature.
Human beings and nations were considered rivals and the happiness of an individual or a nation was defined in collision with, and elimination or suppression of others. Constructive evolutionary cooperation was replaced with a destructive struggle for survival.
The lust for capital and domination replaced monotheism which is the gate to love and unity.
This widespread clash of the egoist with the divine values gave way to slavery and colonialism. A large portion of the world came under the domination of a few western States. Tens of millions of people were taken to slavery and tens of millions of families were shattered as a result. All the resources, the rights and the cultures of the colonized nations were plundered. Lands were occupied and the indigenous people were humiliated and mass- murdered.
Yet, nations rose up, colonialism was alienated and the independence of the nations was recognized. Thus, the hope for respect, prosperity and security was revived amongst nations. In the beginning of the past century nice talks about freedom, human rights and democracy created hopes for healing the deep wounds of the past. Today, however, not only those dreams are not realized, but memories, even at times worse than before, have been recorded.
As a result of the two World Wars, the occupation of Palestine, the Korean and the Vietnam's Wars, the Iraqi war against Iran, the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq as well as many wars in Africa, hundreds of millions of people were killed, wounded or displaced.
Terrorism, illicit drugs, poverty and the social gaps increased. The dictatorial and coup d'etat governments in Latin America committed unprecedented crimes with the support of the West.
Instead of disarmament, the proliferation and stockpiling of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons expanded, putting the world under a bigger threat. As a result, the very same old goals of colonialists and the slave masters were, this time round, pursued with a new façade.
B) The Global Management and Ruling Structures
The League of Nations and, then, the United Nations were established with the promise to bring about peace, security and the realization of human rights, which in fact meant a global management.
One can analyze the current governance of the world by examining three events:
First, the event of the 11 September 2001 which has affected the whole world for almost a decade.
All of a sudden, the news of the attack on the twin towers was broadcast using numerous footages of the incident.
Almost all governments and known figures strongly condemned this incident.
But then a propaganda machine came into full force; it was implied that the whole world was exposed to a huge danger, namely terrorism, and that the only way to save the world would be to deploy forces into Afghanistan.
Eventually Afghanistan, and shortly thereafter Iraq were occupied.
Please take note:
It was said that some three thousands people were killed on the 11 September for which we are all very saddened. Yet, up until now, in Afghanistan and Iraq hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, millions wounded and displaced and the conflict is still going on and expanding.
In identifying those responsible for the attack, there were three viewpoints.
1- That a very powerful and complex terrorist group, able to successfully cross all layers of the American intelligence and security, carried out the attack.
This is the main viewpoint advocated by American statesmen.
2- That some segments within the U.S. government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime.
The majority of the American people as well as other nations and politicians agree with this view.
3- It was carried out by a terrorist group but the American government supported and took advantage of the situation. Apparently, this viewpoint has fewer proponents.
The main evidence linking the incident was a few passports found in the huge volume of rubble and a video of an individual whose place of domicile was unknown but it was announced that he had been involved in oil deals with some American officials. It was also covered up and said that due to the explosion and fire no trace of the suicide attackers was found.
There remain, however, a few questions to be answered:
1- Would it not have been sensible that first a thorough investigation should have been conducted by independent groups to conclusively identify the elements involved in the attack and then map out a rational plan to take measures against them?
2- Assuming the viewpoint of the American government, is it rational to launch a classic war through widespread deployment of troops that led to the death of hundreds of thousands of people to counter a terrorist group?
3- Was it not possible to act the way Iran countered the Riggi terrorist group who killed and wounded 400 innocent people in Iran. In the Iranian operation no innocent person was hurt.
It is proposed that the United Nations set up an independent fact-finding group for the event of the 11 September so that in the future expressing views about it is not forbidden.
I wish to announce here that next year the Islamic Republic of Iran will host a conference to study terrorism and the means to confront it. I invite officials, scholars, thinkers, researchers and research institutes of all countries to attend this conference.
Second, is the occupation of the Palestinian territories
The oppressed people of Palestine have lived under the rule of an occupying regime for 60 years, been deprived of freedom, security and the right to self-determination, while the occupiers are given recognition. On a daily basis, the houses are being destroyed over the heads of innocent women and children. People are deprived of water, food and medicine in their own homeland. The Zionists have imposed five all-out wars on the neighboring countries and on the Palestinian people.
The Zionists committed the most horrible crimes against the defenseless people in the wars against Lebanon and Gaza.
The Zionist regime attacked a humanitarian flotilla in a blatant defiance of all international norms and kills the civilians.
This regime which enjoys the absolute support of some western countries regularly threatens the countries in the region and continues publicly announced assassination of Palestinian figures and others, while Palestinian defenders and those opposing this regime are pressured, labeled as terrorists and anti Semites. All values, even the freedom of expression, in Europe and in the United States are being sacrificed at the altar of Zionism.
Solutions are doomed to fail because the right of the Palestinian people is not taken into account.
Would we have witnessed such horrendous crimes if instead of recognizing the occupation, the sovereign right of the Palestinian people had been recognized?
Our unambiguous proposition is the return of the Palestinian refugees to their home land and the reference to the vote of the people of Palestine to exercise their sovereignty and decide on the type of governance.
Third, is the nuclear energy
Nuclear energy is clean and cheap and a heavenly gift which is amongst the most suitable alternatives to cut the pollutions emanating from fossil fuels.
The Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) allows all member States to use nuclear energy without limits and the International Atomic Energy Agency is mandated to provide member States with technical and legal support.
The nuclear bomb is the worst inhumane weapon and which must totally be eliminated. The NPT prohibits its development and stockpiling and calls for nuclear disarmament.
Nonetheless, note what some of the permanent members of the Security Council and nuclear bomb holders have done:
They have equated nuclear energy with the nuclear bomb, and have distanced this energy from the reach of most of nations by establishing monopolies and pressuring the IAEA. While at the same time, they have continued to maintain, expand and upgrade their own nuclear arsenals.
This has entailed the following:
Not only the nuclear disarmament has not been realized but also nuclear bombs have been proliferated in some regions, including by the occupying and intimidating Zionist regime.
I would like here to propose that the year 2011 be proclaimed the year of nuclear disarmament and "Nuclear Energy for all, Nuclear Weapons for None".
In all these cases the United Nations has been unable to take any effective course of action. Unfortunately, in the decade proclaimed as the "International Decade for the Culture of Peace" hundreds of thousands were killed and injured as a result of war, aggression and occupation, and hostilities and antagonism increased.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Very recently the world witnessed the ugly and inhumane act of burning the Holy Quran.
The Holy Quran is the Divine Book and the eternal miracle of the Prophet of Islam. It calls for worshipping the One God, justice, compassion toward people, development and progress, reflection and thinking, defending the oppressed and resisting against the oppressors; and it names with respect the previous Messengers of God, like Noah, Abraham, Isaaq, Joseph, Moses and Jesus Christ (Peace be Upon them all) and endorses them.. They burned Quran to burn all these truths and good judgments. However, the truth could not be burned. Quran is eternal because God and truth are everlasting. This act and any other act which widens the gap and distances between nations is evil. We should wisely avoid playing into the hands of Satan. On behalf of the Iranian nation I pay respect to all Divine Books and their followers. This is the Quran and this is the Bible. I pay respect to both of them.
Esteemed Friends,
For years the inefficiency of the capitalism and the existing world management and structures has been exposed and the majority of States and nations have been on a quest for fundamental changes and for the prevalence of justice in global relations.
The cause of the United Nation's ineptitude is in its unjust structure. Major power is monopolized in the Security Council due to the veto privilege, and the main pillar of the Organization, namely the General Assembly, is marginalized.
In the past several decades, at least one of the permanent members of the Security Council has always been a party to the disputes.
The veto advantage grants impunity to aggression and occupation; How could, therefore, one expect competence while both the judge and the prosecutor are a party to the dispute?
Had Iran enjoyed veto privilege, would the Security Council and the IAEA Director General have taken the same position in the nuclear issue?
Dear Friends,
The United Nations is the key center for coordinating the common global management. Its structure needs to be reformed in a manner that all independent States and nations be able to participate in the global governance actively and constructively.
The veto privilege should be revoked and the General Assembly should be the highest body and the Secretary-General should be the most independent official and all his positions and activities should be taken with the approval of the General Assembly and should be directed towards promoting justice and eliminating discrimination.
The Secretary-General should not come under pressure from powers and/or the country hosting the Organization for his stating the truth and administration of justice.
It is suggested that the General Assembly should, within one year and in the framework of an extraordinary session, finalize the reformation of the Organization's structure
The Islamic Republic of Iran has clear suggestions in this regard and stands ready to participate actively and constructively in the process.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I announce clearly that the occupation of other countries under the pretext of freedom and democracy is an unforgivable crime.
The world needs the logic of compassion and justice and inclusive participation instead of logic of force, domination, unilateralism, war and intimidation.
The world needs to be governed by virtuous people like the Divine Prophets.
The two vast geographical spheres, namely Africa and Latin America, have gone through historic developments during the past decades. The new approaches in these two continents, which are based on increasing level of integration and unity as well as on localizing the growth and development models, have born considerable fruits to the peoples of those regions. The awareness and wisdom of the leaders of these two continents has overcome the regional problems and crises without the domineering interference of non-regional powers.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has expanded its relations with the Latin America and Africa in all aspects in recent years.
And about the glorious Iran,
The Tehran Declaration was a hugely constructive step in confidence building efforts which was made possible through the admirable good will by the governments of Brazil and Turkey along with the sincere cooperation of the Iranian government. Although the Declaration received inappropriate reaction by some and was followed by an unlawful resolution, it is still valid.
We have observed the regulations of the IAEA more than our commitments, yet, we have never submitted to illegally imposed pressures nor will we ever do so.
It has been said that they want to pressure Iran into a dialogue. Well, firstly, Iran has always been ready for a dialogue based on respect and justice. Secondly, methods based on disrespecting nations have long become ineffective. Those who have used intimidation and sanctions in response to the clear logic of the Iranian nation are in real terms destroying the remaining credibility of the Security Council and the trust of nations for this body, proving once and again how unjust is the function of the Council.
When they threaten a great nation such as Iran which is known throughout history for its scientists, poets, artists and philosophers and whose culture and civilization is synonymous to purity, submission to God and seeking justice, how can they ever expect that other nations grow confidence on them?
It goes without saying that domineering methods in managing the world has failed. Not only has the era of slavery and colonialism and dominating the world passed, the path to the reviving old Empires are blocked, too.
We have announced that we stand ready for a serious and free debate with the American Statesmen to express our transparent views on issues of importance to the world in this very venue.
It is proposed here that in order to have a constructive dialogue, an annual free debate be organized within the General Assembly.
In conclusion,
Friends and Colleagues,
The Iranian nation and the majority of the world’s nations and governments are against the current discriminatory management of the world.
The inhumane nature of this management has put it at a dead-end and requires a major overhaul.
Reforming the world’s affairs and bringing about tranquility and prosperity requires the participation of all, pure thoughts and the divine and humane management.
We are all of the idea that:
Justice is the basic element for peace, durable security and the spread of love among peoples and nations. It is in the justice that mankind seeks the realization of his aspirations, rights and dignity, since he is wary of oppression, humiliation and ill treatment.
The true nature of mankind is manifested in the love for other fellow humans and love for all the good in the world. Love is the best foundation for establishing relation amongst people and amongst nations.
As Vahshi Bafqi, the great Iranian poet, says:
“From the fountain of youth, drink thousand sips
You’ll still die if you don’t have love’s grip”
In making a world full of purity, safety and prosperity people are not rivals but companions.
Those who see their happiness but in the sorrow of others and their welfare and safety but in others' insecurity, those who see themselves superior to others, are out of the path of humanity and are in evil’s course.
Economy and materialistic means are only some tools to serve others, to create friendship and strengthen human connections for spiritual perfection. They are not tools for show-off or means of dominating others.
Men and women complements each other and family unit with pure, loving and long-lasting relation of the spouses in its center is the guarantee for the continuity and the bringing up generations, for true pleasures, for spreading love and for reforming of the societies.
Woman is a reflection of God’s beauty and is the source of love and caring. She is the guardian of purity and exquisiteness of the society.
The tendency to toughen the souls and behaviors of women deprives them from their very basic right of being a loving mother and a caring wife. It would result in a more violent society with irreversible defects.
Freedom is a divine right that should serve peace and human perfection.
Pure thoughts and the will of the righteous are keys to the gates of a pure life full of hope, liveliness and beauty.
This is the promise of God that the earth will be inherited by the pure and the righteous. And the people free from selfishness will take up the management of the world. Then, there will be no trace of sorrow, discrimination, poverty, insecurity and aggression. The time for true happiness and for the blossoming of the true nature of humankind, the way God has intended, will arrive.
All those seeking for justice and all the free spirits have been waiting for this moment and have promised such glorious time.
The complete human, the true servant of God and the true friend of the mankind whose father was from the generation of the beloved Prophet of Islam and whose mother was from the true believers of Jesus Christ, shall wait along with Jesus the son of Marry and the other righteous to appear on those brilliant times and assist the humanity.
In welcoming them we should join ranks and seek justice.
Praise to Love and worship, praise to justice and freedom, praise to the true humanity, the complete human, the true companion of the humankind and peace be upon you and all the righteous and the pure.
Thank you.

1- Would it not have been sensible that first a thorough investigation should have been conducted by independent groups to conclusively identify the elements involved in the attack and then map out a rational plan to take measures against them?
2- Assuming the viewpoint of the American government, is it rational to launch a classic war through widespread deployment of troops that led to the death of hundreds of thousands of people to counter a terrorist group?
3- Was it not possible to act the way Iran countered the Riggi terrorist group who killed and wounded 400 innocent people in Iran. In the Iranian operation no innocent person was hurt.
It is proposed that the United Nations set up an independent fact-finding group for the event of the 11 September so that in the future expressing views about it is not forbidden.
I wish to announce here that next year the Islamic Republic of Iran will host a conference to study terrorism and the means to confront it. I invite officials, scholars, thinkers, researchers and research institutes of all countries to attend this conference.
Second, is the occupation of the Palestinian territories
The oppressed people of Palestine have lived under the rule of an occupying regime for 60 years, been deprived of freedom, security and the right to self-determination, while the occupiers are given recognition. On a daily basis, the houses are being destroyed over the heads of innocent women and children. People are deprived of water, food and medicine in their own homeland. The Zionists have imposed five all-out wars on the neighboring countries and on the Palestinian people.
The Zionists committed the most horrible crimes against the defenseless people in the wars against Lebanon and Gaza.
The Zionist regime attacked a humanitarian flotilla in a blatant defiance of all international norms and kills the civilians.
This regime which enjoys the absolute support of some western countries regularly threatens the countries in the region and continues publicly announced assassination of Palestinian figures and others, while Palestinian defenders and those opposing this regime are pressured, labeled as terrorists and anti Semites. All values, even the freedom of expression, in Europe and in the United States are being sacrificed at the altar of Zionism.
Solutions are doomed to fail because the right of the Palestinian people is not taken into account.
Would we have witnessed such horrendous crimes if instead of recognizing the occupation, the sovereign right of the Palestinian people had been recognized?
Our unambiguous proposition is the return of the Palestinian refugees to their home land and the reference to the vote of the people of Palestine to exercise their sovereignty and decide on the type of governance.
Third, is the nuclear energy
Nuclear energy is clean and cheap and a heavenly gift which is amongst the most suitable alternatives to cut the pollutions emanating from fossil fuels.
The Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) allows all member States to use nuclear energy without limits and the International Atomic Energy Agency is mandated to provide member States with technical and legal support.
The nuclear bomb is the worst inhumane weapon and which must totally be eliminated. The NPT prohibits its development and stockpiling and calls for nuclear disarmament.
Nonetheless, note what some of the permanent members of the Security Council and nuclear bomb holders have done:
They have equated nuclear energy with the nuclear bomb, and have distanced this energy from the reach of most of nations by establishing monopolies and pressuring the IAEA. While at the same time, they have continued to maintain, expand and upgrade their own nuclear arsenals.
This has entailed the following:
Not only the nuclear disarmament has not been realized but also nuclear bombs have been proliferated in some regions, including by the occupying and intimidating Zionist regime.
I would like here to propose that the year 2011 be proclaimed the year of nuclear disarmament and "Nuclear Energy for all, Nuclear Weapons for None".
In all these cases the United Nations has been unable to take any effective course of action. Unfortunately, in the decade proclaimed as the "International Decade for the Culture of Peace" hundreds of thousands were killed and injured as a result of war, aggression and occupation, and hostilities and antagonism increased.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Very recently the world witnessed the ugly and inhumane act of burning the Holy Quran.
The Holy Quran is the Divine Book and the eternal miracle of the Prophet of Islam. It calls for worshipping the One God, justice, compassion toward people, development and progress, reflection and thinking, defending the oppressed and resisting against the oppressors; and it names with respect the previous Messengers of God, like Noah, Abraham, Isaaq, Joseph, Moses and Jesus Christ (Peace be Upon them all) and endorses them.. They burned Quran to burn all these truths and good judgments. However, the truth could not be burned. Quran is eternal because God and truth are everlasting. This act and any other act which widens the gap and distances between nations is evil. We should wisely avoid playing into the hands of Satan. On behalf of the Iranian nation I pay respect to all Divine Books and their followers. This is the Quran and this is the Bible. I pay respect to both of them.
Esteemed Friends,
For years the inefficiency of the capitalism and the existing world management and structures has been exposed and the majority of States and nations have been on a quest for fundamental changes and for the prevalence of justice in global relations.
The cause of the United Nation's ineptitude is in its unjust structure. Major power is monopolized in the Security Council due to the veto privilege, and the main pillar of the Organization, namely the General Assembly, is marginalized.
In the past several decades, at least one of the permanent members of the Security Council has always been a party to the disputes.
The veto advantage grants impunity to aggression and occupation; How could, therefore, one expect competence while both the judge and the prosecutor are a party to the dispute?
Had Iran enjoyed veto privilege, would the Security Council and the IAEA Director General have taken the same position in the nuclear issue?
Dear Friends,
The United Nations is the key center for coordinating the common global management. Its structure needs to be reformed in a manner that all independent States and nations be able to participate in the global governance actively and constructively.
The veto privilege should be revoked and the General Assembly should be the highest body and the Secretary-General should be the most independent official and all his positions and activities should be taken with the approval of the General Assembly and should be directed towards promoting justice and eliminating discrimination.
The Secretary-General should not come under pressure from powers and/or the country hosting the Organization for his stating the truth and administration of justice.
It is suggested that the General Assembly should, within one year and in the framework of an extraordinary session, finalize the reformation of the Organization's structure
The Islamic Republic of Iran has clear suggestions in this regard and stands ready to participate actively and constructively in the process.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I announce clearly that the occupation of other countries under the pretext of freedom and democracy is an unforgivable crime.
The world needs the logic of compassion and justice and inclusive participation instead of logic of force, domination, unilateralism, war and intimidation.
The world needs to be governed by virtuous people like the Divine Prophets.
The two vast geographical spheres, namely Africa and Latin America, have gone through historic developments during the past decades. The new approaches in these two continents, which are based on increasing level of integration and unity as well as on localizing the growth and development models, have born considerable fruits to the peoples of those regions. The awareness and wisdom of the leaders of these two continents has overcome the regional problems and crises without the domineering interference of non-regional powers.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has expanded its relations with the Latin America and Africa in all aspects in recent years.
And about the glorious Iran,
The Tehran Declaration was a hugely constructive step in confidence building efforts which was made possible through the admirable good will by the governments of Brazil and Turkey along with the sincere cooperation of the Iranian government. Although the Declaration received inappropriate reaction by some and was followed by an unlawful resolution, it is still valid.
We have observed the regulations of the IAEA more than our commitments, yet, we have never submitted to illegally imposed pressures nor will we ever do so.
It has been said that they want to pressure Iran into a dialogue. Well, firstly, Iran has always been ready for a dialogue based on respect and justice. Secondly, methods based on disrespecting nations have long become ineffective. Those who have used intimidation and sanctions in response to the clear logic of the Iranian nation are in real terms destroying the remaining credibility of the Security Council and the trust of nations for this body, proving once and again how unjust is the function of the Council.
When they threaten a great nation such as Iran which is known throughout history for its scientists, poets, artists and philosophers and whose culture and civilization is synonymous to purity, submission to God and seeking justice, how can they ever expect that other nations grow confidence on them?
It goes without saying that domineering methods in managing the world has failed. Not only has the era of slavery and colonialism and dominating the world passed, the path to the reviving old Empires are blocked, too.
We have announced that we stand ready for a serious and free debate with the American Statesmen to express our transparent views on issues of importance to the world in this very venue.
It is proposed here that in order to have a constructive dialogue, an annual free debate be organized within the General Assembly.
In conclusion,
Friends and Colleagues,
The Iranian nation and the majority of the world’s nations and governments are against the current discriminatory management of the world.
The inhumane nature of this management has put it at a dead-end and requires a major overhaul.
Reforming the world’s affairs and bringing about tranquility and prosperity requires the participation of all, pure thoughts and the divine and humane management.
We are all of the idea that:
Justice is the basic element for peace, durable security and the spread of love among peoples and nations. It is in the justice that mankind seeks the realization of his aspirations, rights and dignity, since he is wary of oppression, humiliation and ill treatment.
The true nature of mankind is manifested in the love for other fellow humans and love for all the good in the world. Love is the best foundation for establishing relation amongst people and amongst nations.
As Vahshi Bafqi, the great Iranian poet, says:
“From the fountain of youth, drink thousand sips
You’ll still die if you don’t have love’s grip”
In making a world full of purity, safety and prosperity people are not rivals but companions.
Those who see their happiness but in the sorrow of others and their welfare and safety but in others' insecurity, those who see themselves superior to others, are out of the path of humanity and are in evil’s course.
Economy and materialistic means are only some tools to serve others, to create friendship and strengthen human connections for spiritual perfection. They are not tools for show-off or means of dominating others.
Men and women complements each other and family unit with pure, loving and long-lasting relation of the spouses in its center is the guarantee for the continuity and the bringing up generations, for true pleasures, for spreading love and for reforming of the societies.
Woman is a reflection of God’s beauty and is the source of love and caring. She is the guardian of purity and exquisiteness of the society.
The tendency to toughen the souls and behaviors of women deprives them from their very basic right of being a loving mother and a caring wife. It would result in a more violent society with irreversible defects.
Freedom is a divine right that should serve peace and human perfection.
Pure thoughts and the will of the righteous are keys to the gates of a pure life full of hope, liveliness and beauty.
This is the promise of God that the earth will be inherited by the pure and the righteous. And the people free from selfishness will take up the management of the world. Then, there will be no trace of sorrow, discrimination, poverty, insecurity and aggression. The time for true happiness and for the blossoming of the true nature of humankind, the way God has intended, will arrive.
All those seeking for justice and all the free spirits have been waiting for this moment and have promised such glorious time.
The complete human, the true servant of God and the true friend of the mankind whose father was from the generation of the beloved Prophet of Islam and whose mother was from the true believers of Jesus Christ, shall wait along with Jesus the son of Marry and the other righteous to appear on those brilliant times and assist the humanity.
In welcoming them we should join ranks and seek justice.
Praise to Love and worship, praise to justice and freedom, praise to the true humanity, the complete human, the true companion of the humankind and peace be upon you and all the righteous and the pure.
Thank you.

Who not to vote for in RI’s elections
If anything the elections in RI have quite a few candidates who are pieces of shit, and represent everything people hate about government. However, there are some that are worse than the rest.
The most obvious is that sodomite in the providence mayor’s office, sissyweenie. Not only has he run the city of providence into the ground, turning it into a hellhole of a powderkeg but when he was a state representative he came out as being gay only when confronted by accusations of molesting other men with his pals. Not to mention his brother is doing time for federal violations, serious ones. Now he’s running for congress. Folks, the last thing congress needs is another embarrassment like this.
Almost as bad is linc chafee. The former Warwick mayor and us senator is now running as an independent for RI governor. Though he comes across as a nice guy he has many crooked cronies who he associates with. Recently he appointed one of them to his campaign staff, former RI district court judge erickson. RI’s district court has in recent years degenerated into a circus and focus for discontent, which erickson has only made worse by ordering people brought before him to undergo court ordered psychiatric screening, putting a burden on the medical system by putting people into programs they don’t need and which only make them worse. A linc chafee administration is an accident waiting to happen.
Though it seems like john robitaille does not stand a chance of winning in the governor’s race one better hope he doesn’t. He is a former board member of bradley hospital, who initiated DNA identification of kids there, believing that people in treatment for mental illness have hereditary problems. Anyone who has ever read “the double helix” on how watson and crick “discovered” the structure of DNA will learn that it is one of the greatest flukes of science and all time. Those kids never asked to be treated in such an invasive way and the use of DNA identification has a strong potential to be used for discrimination.
While I mentioned cronies one crony of linc chafee’s from the hope club is running for RI attorney general, steve archimbault, who is nothing more than a mediocre political hack and a crony, the last thing anyone needs.
Just as intense is the mayor’s race in Providence, so intense that the campaign staff for constantino and taveras forget their manners, particularly when on the premises of section 8 housing, making one wonder if their bad behavior is the fault of the staff or the candidates.

New New munitions sale to zionists, possible attack planned?
This is a piece of news that is getting little attention but is
important. What else but a strike on Iran could this be used for,
unless the zionists are really hurting. Notice also how Iran's new
drone bombers got plenty of coverage but not this story.

Transmittal No. 10-41
Israel – Unleaded Gasoline, JP-8 Aviation Jet Fuel, and Diesel Fuel
WASHINGTON, August 5, 2010 – The Defense Security Cooperation Agency
notified Congress today of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Israel of
unleaded gasoline, JP-8 aviation fuel and diesel fuel for an estimated
cost of $2 billion.
The Government of Israel has requested a possible sale of 60,000,000
gallons of unleaded gasoline, 284,000,000 gallons of JP-8 aviation jet
fuel, and 100,000,000 gallons of diesel fuel. The estimated cost is $2
billion.
This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national
security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a
friendly country which has been, and continues to be, an important force
for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
The proposed sale of the JP-8 aviation fuel will enable Israel to
maintain the operational capability of its aircraft inventory. The
unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel will be used for ground forces’
vehicles and other equipment used in keeping peace and security in the
region. Israel will have no difficulty absorbing this additional fuel
into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of these three types of fuel will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The vendors are unknown at this time due to the competitive bid process
for the supply source(s). There are no known offset agreements proposed
in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of
any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Israel.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of
this proposed sale.
This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the
sale has been concluded.

The truth about the teaparty funders
Notice how in this article rich mentions the koch family. He forgets to mention that this is the same koch family that dorothy bush married into, that believes in eugenics, and who my dad went to school with in Greenwich in the 1960's.

The Billionaires Bankrolling the Tea Party
By FRANK RICH
ANOTHER weekend, another grass-roots demonstration starring Real Americans who are mad as hell and want to take back their country from you-know-who. Last Sunday the site was Lower Manhattan, where they jeered the “ground zero mosque.” This weekend, the scene shifted to Washington, where the avatars of oppressed white Tea Party America, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, were slated to “reclaim the civil rights movement” (Beck’s words) on the same spot where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had his dream exactly 47 years earlier.
Vive la révolution!
There’s just one element missing from these snapshots of America’s ostensibly spontaneous and leaderless populist uprising: the sugar daddies who are bankrolling it, and have been doing so since well before the “death panel” warm-up acts of last summer. Three heavy hitters rule. You’ve heard of one of them, Rupert Murdoch. The other two, the brothers David and Charles Koch, are even richer, with a combined wealth exceeded only by that of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett among Americans. But even those carrying the Kochs’ banner may not know who these brothers are.
Their self-interested and at times radical agendas, like Murdoch’s, go well beyond, and sometimes counter to, the interests of those who serve as spear carriers in the political pageants hawked on Fox News. The country will be in for quite a ride should these potentates gain power, and given the recession-battered electorate’s unchecked anger and the Obama White House’s unfocused political strategy, they might.
All three tycoons are the latest incarnation of what the historian Kim Phillips-Fein labeled “Invisible Hands” in her prescient 2009 book of that title: those corporate players who have financed the far right ever since the du Pont brothers spawned the American Liberty League in 1934 to bring down F.D.R. You can draw a straight line from the Liberty League’s crusade against the New Deal “socialism” of Social Security, the Securities and Exchange Commission and child labor laws to the John Birch Society-Barry Goldwater assault on J.F.K. and Medicare to the Koch-Murdoch-backed juggernaut against our “socialist” president.
Only the fat cats change — not their methods and not their pet bugaboos (taxes, corporate regulation, organized labor, and government “handouts” to the poor, unemployed, ill and elderly). Even the sources of their fortunes remain fairly constant. Koch Industries began with oil in the 1930s and now also spews an array of industrial products, from Dixie cups to Lycra, not unlike DuPont’s portfolio of paint and plastics. Sometimes the biological DNA persists as well. The Koch brothers’ father, Fred, was among the select group chosen to serve on the Birch Society’s top governing body. In a recorded 1963 speech that survives in a University of Michigan archive, he can be heard warning of “a takeover” of America in which Communists would “infiltrate the highest offices of government in the U.S. until the president is a Communist, unknown to the rest of us.” That rant could be delivered as is at any Tea Party rally today.
Last week the Kochs were shoved unwillingly into the spotlight by the most comprehensive journalistic portrait of them yet, written by Jane Mayer of The New Yorker. Her article caused a stir among those in Manhattan’s liberal elite who didn’t know that David Koch, widely celebrated for his cultural philanthropy, is not merely another rich conservative Republican but the founder of the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, which, as Mayer writes with some understatement, “has worked closely with the Tea Party since the movement’s inception.” To New Yorkers who associate the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center with the New York City Ballet, it’s startling to learn that the Texas branch of that foundation’s political arm, known simply as Americans for Prosperity, gave its Blogger of the Year Award to an activist who had called President Obama “cokehead in chief.”
The other major sponsor of the Tea Party movement is Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks, which, like Americans for Prosperity, is promoting events in Washington this weekend. Under its original name, Citizens for a Sound Economy, FreedomWorks received $12 million of its own from Koch family foundations. Using tax records, Mayer found that Koch-controlled foundations gave out $196 million from 1998 to 2008, much of it to conservative causes and institutions. That figure doesn’t include $50 million in Koch Industries lobbying and $4.8 million in campaign contributions by its political action committee, putting it first among energy company peers like Exxon Mobil and Chevron. Since tax law permits anonymous personal donations to nonprofit political groups, these figures may understate the case. The Kochs surely match the in-kind donations the Tea Party receives in free promotion 24/7 from Murdoch’s Fox News, where both Beck and Palin are on the payroll.
The New Yorker article stirred up the right, too. Some of Mayer’s blogging detractors unwittingly upheld the premise of her article (titled “Covert Operations”) by conceding that they have been Koch grantees. None of them found any factual errors in her 10,000 words. Many of them tried to change the subject to George Soros, the billionaire backer of liberal causes. But Soros is a publicity hound who is transparent about where he shovels his money. And like many liberals — selflessly or foolishly, depending on your point of view — he supports causes that are unrelated to his business interests and that, if anything, raise his taxes.
This is hardly true of the Kochs. When David Koch ran to the right of Reagan as vice president on the 1980 Libertarian ticket (it polled 1 percent), his campaign called for the abolition not just of Social Security, federal regulatory agencies and welfare but also of the F.B.I., the C.I.A., and public schools — in other words, any government enterprise that would either inhibit his business profits or increase his taxes. He hasn’t changed. As Mayer details, Koch-supported lobbyists, foundations and political operatives are at the center of climate-science denial — a cause that forestalls threats to Koch Industries’ vast fossil fuel business. While Koch foundations donate to cancer hospitals like Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York, Koch Industries has been lobbying to stop the Environmental Protection Agency from classifying another product important to its bottom line, formaldehyde, as a “known carcinogen” in humans (which it is).
Tea Partiers may share the Kochs’ detestation of taxes, big government and Obama. But there’s a difference between mainstream conservatism and a fringe agenda that tilts completely toward big business, whether on Wall Street or in the Gulf of Mexico, while dismantling fundamental government safety nets designed to protect the unemployed, public health, workplace safety and the subsistence of the elderly.
Yet inexorably the Koch agenda is morphing into the G.O.P. agenda, as articulated by current Republican members of Congress, including the putative next speaker of the House, John Boehner, and Tea Party Senate candidates like Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, and the new kid on the block, Alaska’s anti-Medicaid, anti-unemployment insurance Palin protégé, Joe Miller. Their program opposes a federal deficit, but has no objection to running up trillions in red ink in tax cuts to corporations and the superrich; apologizes to corporate malefactors like BP and derides money put in escrow for oil spill victims as a “slush fund”; opposes the extension of unemployment benefits; and calls for a freeze on federal regulations in an era when abuses in the oil, financial, mining, pharmaceutical and even egg industries (among others) have been outrageous.
The Koch brothers must be laughing all the way to the bank knowing that working Americans are aiding and abetting their selfish interests. And surely Murdoch is snickering at those protesting the “ground zero mosque.” Last week on “Fox and Friends,” the Bush administration flacks Dan Senor and Dana Perino attacked a supposedly terrorism-tainted Saudi prince whose foundation might contribute to the Islamic center. But as “The Daily Show” keeps pointing out, these Fox bloviators never acknowledge that the evil prince they’re bashing, Walid bin Talal, is not only the biggest non-Murdoch shareholder in Fox News’s parent company (he owns 7 percent of News Corporation) and the recipient of Murdoch mammoth investments in Saudi Arabia but also the subject of lionization elsewhere on Fox.
No less a Murdoch factotum than Neil Cavuto slobbered over bin Talal in a Fox Business Channel interview as recently as January, with nary a question about his supposed terrorist ties. Instead, bin Talal praised Obama’s stance on terrorism and even endorsed the Democrats’ goal of universal health insurance. Do any of the Fox-watching protestors at the “ground zero mosque” know that Fox’s profits are flowing to a Obama-sympathizing Saudi billionaire in bed with Murdoch? As Jon Stewart summed it up, the protestors who want “to cut off funding to the ‘terror mosque’ ” are aiding that funding by watching Fox and enhancing bin Talal’s News Corp. holdings.
When wolves of Murdoch’s ingenuity and the Kochs’ stealth have been at the door of our democracy in the past, Democrats have fought back fiercely. Franklin Roosevelt’s triumphant 1936 re-election campaign pummeled the Liberty League as a Republican ally eager to “squeeze the worker dry in his old age and cast him like an orange rind into the refuse pail.” When John Kennedy’s patriotism was assailed by Birchers calling for impeachment, he gave a major speech denouncing their “crusades of suspicion.”
And Obama? So far, sadly, this question answers itself.

Koch Theater at Lincoln Center with the New York City Ballet, it’s startling to learn that the Texas branch of that foundation’s political arm, known simply as Americans for Prosperity, gave its Blogger of the Year Award to an activist who had called President Obama “cokehead in chief.”
The other major sponsor of the Tea Party movement is Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks, which, like Americans for Prosperity, is promoting events in Washington this weekend. Under its original name, Citizens for a Sound Economy, FreedomWorks received $12 million of its own from Koch family foundations. Using tax records, Mayer found that Koch-controlled foundations gave out $196 million from 1998 to 2008, much of it to conservative causes and institutions. That figure doesn’t include $50 million in Koch Industries lobbying and $4.8 million in campaign contributions by its political action committee, putting it first among energy company peers like Exxon Mobil and Chevron. Since tax law permits anonymous personal donations to nonprofit political groups, these figures may understate the case. The Kochs surely match the in-kind donations the Tea Party receives in free promotion 24/7 from Murdoch’s Fox News, where both Beck and Palin are on the payroll.
The New Yorker article stirred up the right, too. Some of Mayer’s blogging detractors unwittingly upheld the premise of her article (titled “Covert Operations”) by conceding that they have been Koch grantees. None of them found any factual errors in her 10,000 words. Many of them tried to change the subject to George Soros, the billionaire backer of liberal causes. But Soros is a publicity hound who is transparent about where he shovels his money. And like many liberals — selflessly or foolishly, depending on your point of view — he supports causes that are unrelated to his business interests and that, if anything, raise his taxes.
This is hardly true of the Kochs. When David Koch ran to the right of Reagan as vice president on the 1980 Libertarian ticket (it polled 1 percent), his campaign called for the abolition not just of Social Security, federal regulatory agencies and welfare but also of the F.B.I., the C.I.A., and public schools — in other words, any government enterprise that would either inhibit his business profits or increase his taxes. He hasn’t changed. As Mayer details, Koch-supported lobbyists, foundations and political operatives are at the center of climate-science denial — a cause that forestalls threats to Koch Industries’ vast fossil fuel business. While Koch foundations donate to cancer hospitals like Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York, Koch Industries has been lobbying to stop the Environmental Protection Agency from classifying another product important to its bottom line, formaldehyde, as a “known carcinogen” in humans (which it is).
Tea Partiers may share the Kochs’ detestation of taxes, big government and Obama. But there’s a difference between mainstream conservatism and a fringe agenda that tilts completely toward big business, whether on Wall Street or in the Gulf of Mexico, while dismantling fundamental government safety nets designed to protect the unemployed, public health, workplace safety and the subsistence of the elderly.
Yet inexorably the Koch agenda is morphing into the G.O.P. agenda, as articulated by current Republican members of Congress, including the putative next speaker of the House, John Boehner, and Tea Party Senate candidates like Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, and the new kid on the block, Alaska’s anti-Medicaid, anti-unemployment insurance Palin protégé, Joe Miller. Their program opposes a federal deficit, but has no objection to running up trillions in red ink in tax cuts to corporations and the superrich; apologizes to corporate malefactors like BP and derides money put in escrow for oil spill victims as a “slush fund”; opposes the extension of unemployment benefits; and calls for a freeze on federal regulations in an era when abuses in the oil, financial, mining, pharmaceutical and even egg industries (among others) have been outrageous.
The Koch brothers must be laughing all the way to the bank knowing that working Americans are aiding and abetting their selfish interests. And surely Murdoch is snickering at those protesting the “ground zero mosque.” Last week on “Fox and Friends,” the Bush administration flacks Dan Senor and Dana Perino attacked a supposedly terrorism-tainted Saudi prince whose foundation might contribute to the Islamic center. But as “The Daily Show” keeps pointing out, these Fox bloviators never acknowledge that the evil prince they’re bashing, Walid bin Talal, is not only the biggest non-Murdoch shareholder in Fox News’s parent company (he owns 7 percent of News Corporation) and the recipient of Murdoch mammoth investments in Saudi Arabia but also the subject of lionization elsewhere on Fox.
No less a Murdoch factotum than Neil Cavuto slobbered over bin Talal in a Fox Business Channel interview as recently as January, with nary a question about his supposed terrorist ties. Instead, bin Talal praised Obama’s stance on terrorism and even endorsed the Democrats’ goal of universal health insurance. Do any of the Fox-watching protestors at the “ground zero mosque” know that Fox’s profits are flowing to a Obama-sympathizing Saudi billionaire in bed with Murdoch? As Jon Stewart summed it up, the protestors who want “to cut off funding to the ‘terror mosque’ ” are aiding that funding by watching Fox and enhancing bin Talal’s News Corp. holdings.
When wolves of Murdoch’s ingenuity and the Kochs’ stealth have been at the door of our democracy in the past, Democrats have fought back fiercely. Franklin Roosevelt’s triumphant 1936 re-election campaign pummeled the Liberty League as a Republican ally eager to “squeeze the worker dry in his old age and cast him like an orange rind into the refuse pail.” When John Kennedy’s patriotism was assailed by Birchers calling for impeachment, he gave a major speech denouncing their “crusades of suspicion.”
And Obama? So far, sadly, this question answers itself.

Asian Bullion coins overview
With the recent showing at the ANA in Boston and the behavior of coutries in Asia economically and politically one must take a serious look at the Bullion coinage those countries use, as it backs up their currency and is a keystone of their economies. Below is a review of the 5 Bullion issuing Asian countries in order of power and prominence.
CHINA Has been issuing Gold Pandas since 1982 in 1, ½, ¼, 1/10, and 1/20 oz sizes and Silver Pandas since 1983. The designs change every year, have a high purity and are in high demand around the World. Interestingly enough they are minted in Shanghai, where the Chinese government allows many private mints to operate and issue Panda coinage.
RUSSIA Has been issuing Gold ¼ oz. St George coins since 2006 and Silver St. George coins since 2009. Their using the ¼ size corresponds to the same size as the Soviet Chervonetz and Imperial Roubles in a size Russians understand. If Russia begins adding new Gold sizes this means they are getting serous, and Russia has vast untapped Gold mines to make those coins and is known not to waste resources.
KAZAKHSTAN Issued in 1996 Gold Silk Road coins and in 2009 Gold and Silver Irbis coins. Despite high purity of content Kazakhstan has trouble finding foreign distribution for those coins, one possible reason is fear of some foreign nation coming in to exploit kazakhstan’s economy and vast untapped resources.
IRAN Has been issuing Gold Azadi coins since 1979 when the replaced the Pahlavi. They are minted in 8, 4, and 2 gram sizes of the same Gold content as the Pahlavis. Though not popular abroad and struck infrequently since Ahmadinejad took office they provide backing for Iran’s currency. Interestingly enough the Azadi’s have made the Pahlavis and other Imperial Gold coinage more popular.
ISRAEL Issued a 1 oz. Gold Bullion coin in 2010 with an image of a holy site in Jerusalem and there are plans to start a series of Gold Bullion coins. The mintage is strictly limited and advertising, like the American premiere of this coin at the ANA in Boston, is targeted at jewish people and Zionists, which demonstrates the Israelis may be aware this Bullion coin may become a flop. Interestingly enough they are seeking buyers from people who lost money in the madoff ponzi scheme.
Oddly enough there has been no news of countries like India, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, South Korea, Singapore, have not tried to issue Bullion coinage, if they did they could really have an impact on the World economy.
CHINA Has been issuing Gold Pandas since 1982 in 1, ½, ¼, 1/10, and 1/20 oz sizes and Silver Pandas since 1983. The designs change every year, have a high purity and are in high demand around the World.

Interestingly enough they are seeking buyers from people who lost money in the madoff ponzi scheme.
Oddly enough there has been no news of countries like India, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, South Korea, Singapore, have not tried to issue Bullion coinage, if they did they could really have an impact on the World economy.

Der hundenkanzellor, the new world order, and shit u
Recently one of my few contacts at the watosn institute gave me some copies of their latest issue of briefings. On page 19 there is an article about watson's world leaders in residence. In that article hundenkanzellor gusenbauer is quoted as saying "The challenge ahead is to create a new world order without a world war." Even more telling is that the watson institute no longer puts copies of their briefings newsletters on their website. If this does not wake people up to the true evil nature of shit u then what will?

Outcome of last night's governor's forum/debate
I was at last night's SOS governor's candidate forum on the Mental
Health system. It was good to see most of the candidates were allowed
to attend, and that people were able to find their way to the event.
I was suprised to notice the two leading candidates, Caprio and Chafee,
tended to be off focus during the event, while the other candidates
offered more creative answers. Despite the time constraints and some
well prepared questions no real curveball questions that would have put
the candidates on the spot were asked.
Recently when viewing the candidates websites which NAMI linked in their
notice I noticed something very attention getting. Today bill clinton
is in providence stumping for Caprio. While I have had issues with
Chafee over his connections to the clintons, including his brown
connections with the clintons and their associates, I certainly hope
Caprio is able to address issues concerning the clintons which other
candidates have not.
Also to my suprise I noticed the RISD security officer left seconds
after I made my early exit, the result of having left food in my freezer
for too long and not, unlike the snub I did wheholbrooke gave his speech
nearby in 2007, to disrespect anyone.

Iran more seriously imperiled than ever
Anyone who dismisses talk and news like this as sabre rattling is a fool. Right now the gangsters running america have redoubled their efforts to attack Iran. And notice the source of most of this, the zionist/jewish community spewing their lies and pissing cash to cover up their own criminal actions, be it in congress or in the military/industrial complex, or the media. Know that people like Castro who warn of acts like this do not make their words lightly, he understands that conflicts can be easily prevented, that countries like Iran have the right to use nuclear technology, be it for power or defense, and that the zionists and the goverments they hijacked, be it america or britain, are the real warmongers since the 19th century.

Castro: War on Iran 'Imminent'
By Tom Melle
July 13, 2010 "Morning Star" -- Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro warned on Monday that a US-Israeli attack on Iran is "imminent" and predicted that this could trigger a global nuclear war.
In a special appearance on state-run television for the first time in nearly a year, the Communist leader described US and Israeli sabre-rattling over Iran's civil nuclear energy programme as "the most serious crisis" on the international scene because "the Iranian government will not retreat."
"The Iranians have been preparing themselves for 30 years, and have acquired all the Russian and Chinese aeroplanes and weapons necessary for their defence," Mr Castro said.
"They are training all people between the ages of 12 and 60 - just the Guardians of the Revolution have a million members," he added.
And Mr Castro insisted that the US sank the South Korean Cheonan warship in order to justify an attack on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
He said that "in the face of a massive attack against Iran, North Korea will not wait to be attacked, and a nuclear war will also break out in that zone.
"When they decide to attack Iran, one war after the other will be unleashed," he declared.
The veteran Communist spoke out at a delicate time politically for Cuba, as it begins releasing 52 prisoners under a landmark deal brokered with Spanish officials and the Catholic church last week.
The men were all arrested in a crackdown on US-backed subversion in 2003.
The Origin of Wars
By Fidel Castro Ruz - granma.cu - July 11, 2010
I affirmed on July 4 that neither the United States nor Iran would give in; "one, due to the pride of the powerful, and the other, out of resistance to the yoke and the capacity to fight, as has occurred so many times in the history of humanity..."
In almost all wars, one of the parties wishes to avoid them, and sometimes, both. On this occasion, it would come about even though one of the parties does not wish it, as happened in the two World Wars in 1914 and 1939, with only 25 years of distance before the first outbreak and the second.
The slaughters were horrific, they would not have been unleashed without prior errors of calculation. The two parties were defending imperialist interests and they believed that they would obtain their objectives without the terrible cost that that implied.
In the case that concerns us: one of them is defending national, absolutely just interests. The other is pursuing illegitimate intentions and crude material interests.
If we analyze all the wars that have taken place, starting from the known history of our species, one of the parties has sought those objectives.
Any illusion that, on this occasion, such objectives will be reached without the most terrible of all wars is absolutely vain.
In one of the best articles published by the Global Research website on Thursday, July 1, signed by Rick Rozoff, he provides abundant indisputable arguments on the United States intentions, of which any well-informed person must be aware.
"... Victory can be attained when an adversary knows it is vulnerable to an instantaneous and undetectable, overwhelming and devastating attack without the ability to defend itself or retaliate," is what the United States thinks, according to the author.
"... A country which aspires to remain the only state in history to wield full spectrum military dominance on land, in the air, on the seas and in space."
"... To maintain and extend military bases and troops, aircraft carrier battle groups and strategic bombers on and to most every latitude and longitude. To do so with a post-World War II record war budget of $708 billion for next year."
It was "... the first country to develop and use nuclear weapons..."
"... the U.S. retains 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 2,200 (by some counts 3,500) more in storage and a triad of land, air and submarine delivery vehicles."
"The non-nuclear arsenal used for disabling and destroying the air defenses and strategic, potentially all major, military forces of other nations will consist of intercontinental ballistic missiles, adapted submarine-launched ballistic missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles and bombers, and super stealthy strategic bombers able to avoid detection by radar and thus evade ground- and air-based defenses."
Rozoff lists the many press conferences, meetings and statements of Joint Chiefs of Staff and high-ranking members of the government of the United States in the last few months.
He explains the commitments to NATO and the reinforced cooperation with Near East allies, primarily, read Israel. He says, "The U.S. is also intensifying space and cyber warfare programs with the potential to completely shut down other nations' military surveillance and command, control, communications, computer and intelligence systems, rendering them defenseless on any but the most basic tactical level."
He speaks of the signing in Prague, on April 8 of this year, of the new START Treaty between Russia and the United States, which "does not contain any constraints on current or planned U.S. conventional prompt global strike capability."
He refers to countless news items on the subject and illustrates the intentions of the United States with one overwhelming example.
He notes that "... 'The Department of Defense is currently exploring the full range of technologies and systems for a Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS) capability that could provide the President more credible and technically suitable options for dealing with new and evolving threats."
I maintain the opinion that any president whosoever, not even the most expert military chief, would not have one minute to know what should be done if it was not already programmed on computers.
Imperturbably, Rozoff relates what the Global Security Network affirms in an analysis titled: "'Cost to test U.S. global-strike missile could reach $500 million,'" by Elaine Grossman.
"'The Obama administration has requested $239.9 million for prompt global strike research and development across the military services in fiscal 2011... If funding levels remain as anticipated into the coming years, the Pentagon will have spent some $2 billion on prompt global strike by the end of fiscal 2015, according to budget documents submitted last month to Capitol Hill.'"
"A terrifying scenario comparable to the effects of a PGS attack, in this case the sea-based version, appeared three years ago in Popular Mechanics:
"'In the Pacific, a nuclear-powered Ohio class submarine surfaces, ready for the president's command to launch. When the order comes, the sub shoots a 65-ton Trident II ballistic missile into the sky. Within 2 minutes, the missile is traveling at more than 20,000 ft. per second. Up and over the oceans and out of the atmosphere it soars for thousands of miles.
"'At the top of its parabola, hanging in space, the Trident's four warheads separate and begin their screaming descent down toward the planet.
"'Traveling as fast as 13,000 mph, the warheads are filled with scored tungsten rods with twice the strength of steel.
"'Just above the target, the warheads detonate, showering the area with thousands of rods-each one up to 12 times as destructive as a .50-caliber bullet. Anything within 3,000 sq. ft. of this whirling, metallic storm is obliterated.'"
Rozoff immediately explains the April 7 statement of General Leonid Ivashov, joint chief of staff of the Russian armed forces, made in a column entitled "Obama's nuclear surprise."
In that same column Ivashov, refers to the speech by the U.S. president in Prague last year: "The existence of thousands of nuclear weapons is the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War" and his signing of the START II agreement in that same city on April 8, Rozoff quotes the author, who stated:
"'No examples of sacrificial service of the U.S. elites to mankind or peoples of other countries can be discovered in the U.S. history over the past century. Would it be realistic to expect the advent of an African-American president to the White House to change the country's political philosophy traditionally aimed at achieving global dominance? Those believing that something like that is possible should try to realize why the U.S. the country with a military budget already greater than those of all other countries of the world combined continues spending enormous sums of money on preparations for war.'"
"... 'The Prompt Global Strike concept envisages a concentrated strike using several thousand precision conventional weapons in 2-4 hours that would completely destroy the critical infrastructures of the target country and thus force it to capitulate.'"
"'The Prompt Global Strike concept is meant to sustain the U.S. monopoly in the military sphere and to widen the gap between it and the rest of the world. Combined with the deployment of the missile defense supposed to keep the U.S. immune to retaliatory strikes from Russia and China, the Prompt Global Strike initiative is going to turn Washington into a modern era global dictator.'"
"'In essence, the new U.S. nuclear doctrine is an element of the novel U.S. security strategy that would be more adequately described as the strategy of total impunity. The U.S. is boosting its military budget, unleashing NATO as the global gendarme, and planning real-life exercise in Iran to test the efficiency of the Prompt Global Strike initiative in practice. At the same time, Washington is talking about the completely nuclear-free world.'"
In essence, Obama is trying to deceive the world by talking of a humanity free of nuclear weapons, which would be replaced by other extremely destructive ones, ideal for terrorizing state leaders and achieving the new strategy of total impunity.
The yankis believe that Iran's rendition is already close. The European Union is expected to announce a sanctions package of its own to be signed on July 26.
The last meeting of the 5+1 took place on July 2, after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad affirmed that "his country would return to talks at the end of August with the participation of Brazil and Turkey."
A high-ranking E.U. official "stated that neither Brazil nor Turkey will be invited to take part in talks, at least not at this level."
"Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki stated that he was in favor of defying international sanctions and continuing with the enriched uranium program."
From Tuesday, July 5, in the face of the European reiteration that they are to promote additional measures against Iran, this country has responded that it will not negotiate until September.
Every day the possibilities of overcoming the insurmountable obstacle are reducing further.
What is going to happen is so evident that it can be foreseen in an almost exact form.
For my part, I must make a self-criticism; I committed an error in affirming in the June 27 Reflection that the conflict would break out on the Thursday, Friday or at the latest Saturday. It was already known that Israeli warships were navigating toward that objective together with the yanki naval forces. The order to search Iranian merchant ships was already given.
However, I did not realize that there was a prior step: confirmation of the negation of permission for the inspection of its mercantile fleet on the part of Iran. In analyzing the torturous language of the Security Council imposing sanctions on that country, I did not notice that detail to give the inspection order full effect. It was the only thing missing.
The 60-day period given by the Security Council on June 9 to receive information on compliance with the Resolution expires on August 8.
But something really most lamentable happened. I was working on the latest material on the delicate issue drafted by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the said document did not contain two key paragraphs the last two of the abovementioned resolution which textually state:
"Requests within 90 days a report from the Director General of the IAEA on whether Iran has established full and sustained suspension of all activities mentioned in resolution 1737 (2006), as well as on the process of Iranian compliance with all the steps required by the IAEA Board of Governors and with other provisions of resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and of this resolution, to the IAEA Board of Governors and in parallel to the Security Council for its consideration;
"Affirms that it shall review Irans actions in light of the report referred to in paragraph 36 above, to be submitted within 90 days, and:
(a) that it shall suspend the implementation of measures if and for so long as Iran suspends all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities, including research and development, as verified by the IAEA, to allow for negotiations in good faith in order to reach an early and mutually acceptable outcome;
(b) that it shall terminate the measures specified in paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 12 of resolution 1737 (2006), as well as in paragraphs 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of resolution 1747 (2007), paragraphs 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of resolution 1803 (2008), and in paragraphs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23 and 24 above, as soon as it determines, following receipt of the report referred to in the paragraph above, that Iran has fully complied with its obligations under the relevant resolutions of the Security Council and met the requirements of the IAEA Board of Governors, as confirmed by the IAEA Board of Governors;
(c) that it shall, in the event that the report shows that Iran has not complied with resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and this resolution, adopt further appropriate measures under Article 41 of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations to persuade Iran to comply with these resolutions and the requirements of the IAEA, and underlines that further decisions will be required should such additional measures be necessary..."
A compañero from the Ministry, after the exhausting work of many hours at the machine making photocopies of all the documents, fell asleep. My eagerness in seeking out information and exchanging points of view on these delicate issues, made it possible for me to discover this omission.
From my point of view, the United States and its NATO allies have said their last word. Two powerful states with authority and prestige did not exercise their right to veto the perfidious U.N. resolution.
It was the only possibility of gaining time to seek some formula for saving the peace, an objective that would have afforded them greater authority to continue fighting for it.
Today, everything is hanging from a tenuous thread.
My principal intention was to advise international public opinion of what was occurring.
I have in part achieved that by observing what was taking place, as a political leader who, for many years, has been confronting the empire, its blockades and its indescribable crimes. But I am not doing it out of revenge.
I am not hesitating to run the risks of compromising my modest moral authority.
I shall continue writing Reflections on the subject. There will be a number more after this one in order to continue going more profoundly into it in July and August, unless some incident occurs to trigger the deadly weapons currently pointed at each other.
I have very much enjoyed the final games of the World Cup and the volleyball games, in which our valiant team is marching at the head of its group in the World League of that sport.

'US will attack Iran if it must'
By HERB KEINON
07/07/2010 12:11
Senators in Jerusalem to discuss Middle East tensions.
Talkbacks (44)
There is wide support in Congress for using all means to keep Iran from
becoming a nuclear power, “through diplomatic and economic sanctions
if we possibly can, through military actions if we must,” visiting US
Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) said Wednesday in Jerusalem.
Lieberman, flanked at a Jerusalem press conference by his senate
colleagues John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), used very tough
language, saying the words “military action” in regards to stopping
Iran’s nuclear program. Most US officials opt to tiptoe around the
subject, saying “no options are off the table.”
Lieberman said that “a certain trumpet needs to sounded here for the
Iranian regime to hear.”
He said the sanctions Congress recently passed against Iran were meant
to signal to Teheran to “negotiate the end of their nuclear program
and re-entry into the civilized world, if that is possible. But if not,
they should know that when Congress says it is unacceptable to get
nuclear weapons, we mean it. We hope economic and diplomatic power will
work, but if we must use force, that must remain a very active
option.”
Regarding Tuesday’s friendly meeting in Washington between Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama, Lieberman –
based on reports he heard from people there – said “it was a
positive meeting, and we can say with some encouragement that the
relationship between the US and Israel is back on track.”
Lieberman, acknowledging that the past year was a “difficult one” in
the US-Israel relationship, said that even during this period “the
members of Congress across party lines continued to both feel and
express strong support for the security of the State of Israel, and for
the relationship.”
Graham was even blunter.
“The Congress has Israel’s back,” he said, “and never
misunderstand that. Whatever relationship problems we have had in the
past, it has never seeped over into Congress. The Congress has been
united in protection of one of our best allies in the world, the State
of Israel.”
Regarding another American ally, Turkey, McCain – referring to both
Ankara’s vote against Iran sanctions at the UN and its hostile
rhetoric toward Israel – said he has been “disappointed recently”
by Turkey’s “actions and words.”
At the same time, he said, Turkey is an old and close ally with whom the
US has common interests.
“I hope that at some point the Turkish leadership would lower the
rhetoric, reduce it to the point where we can try to solve differences
in a quiet and diplomatic way,” McCain said.
Asked what would happen to US-Turkish ties if Ankara severed, as it has
threatened to do, its ties with Israel, McCain replied, “obviously it
wouldn’t be helpful. I hope this won’t be the case. I hope that
there will be conversations.” Saying that the Israeli-Turkish
relationship has “contributed to stability in the Middle East,”
McCain said he found the situation “disturbing,” and said he hoped
the US could play an “interlocutor role to bridge some of these
differences.”
Fundamentally, McCain said, Turkey remains a secular nation that has
“contributed enormously to peace in the region and the world.”
All three senators, who met during their two-day stay with Defense
Minister Ehud Barak and Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi,
as well as with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad,
praised the US-trained PA security forces.
McCain, in an apparent reference to talk about putting PA security
forces at border crossings from Israel into Gaza, said the willingness
of Israel to discuss this issue showed the confidence Israel had in
these forces as well.

He said that "in the face of a massive attack against Iran, North Korea will not wait to be attacked, and a nuclear war will also break out in that zone.
"When they decide to attack Iran, one war after the other will be unleashed," he declared.
The veteran Communist spoke out at a delicate time politically for Cuba, as it begins releasing 52 prisoners under a landmark deal brokered with Spanish officials and the Catholic church last week.
The men were all arrested in a crackdown on US-backed subversion in 2003.
The Origin of Wars
By Fidel Castro Ruz - granma.cu - July 11, 2010
I affirmed on July 4 that neither the United States nor Iran would give in; "one, due to the pride of the powerful, and the other, out of resistance to the yoke and the capacity to fight, as has occurred so many times in the history of humanity..."
In almost all wars, one of the parties wishes to avoid them, and sometimes, both. On this occasion, it would come about even though one of the parties does not wish it, as happened in the two World Wars in 1914 and 1939, with only 25 years of distance before the first outbreak and the second.
The slaughters were horrific, they would not have been unleashed without prior errors of calculation. The two parties were defending imperialist interests and they believed that they would obtain their objectives without the terrible cost that that implied.
In the case that concerns us: one of them is defending national, absolutely just interests. The other is pursuing illegitimate intentions and crude material interests.
If we analyze all the wars that have taken place, starting from the known history of our species, one of the parties has sought those objectives.
Any illusion that, on this occasion, such objectives will be reached without the most terrible of all wars is absolutely vain.
In one of the best articles published by the Global Research website on Thursday, July 1, signed by Rick Rozoff, he provides abundant indisputable arguments on the United States intentions, of which any well-informed person must be aware.
"... Victory can be attained when an adversary knows it is vulnerable to an instantaneous and undetectable, overwhelming and devastating attack without the ability to defend itself or retaliate," is what the United States thinks, according to the author.
"... A country which aspires to remain the only state in history to wield full spectrum military dominance on land, in the air, on the seas and in space."
"... To maintain and extend military bases and troops, aircraft carrier battle groups and strategic bombers on and to most every latitude and longitude. To do so with a post-World War II record war budget of $708 billion for next year."
It was "... the first country to develop and use nuclear weapons..."
"... the U.S. retains 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 2,200 (by some counts 3,500) more in storage and a triad of land, air and submarine delivery vehicles."
"The non-nuclear arsenal used for disabling and destroying the air defenses and strategic, potentially all major, military forces of other nations will consist of intercontinental ballistic missiles, adapted submarine-launched ballistic missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles and bombers, and super stealthy strategic bombers able to avoid detection by radar and thus evade ground- and air-based defenses."
Rozoff lists the many press conferences, meetings and statements of Joint Chiefs of Staff and high-ranking members of the government of the United States in the last few months.
He explains the commitments to NATO and the reinforced cooperation with Near East allies, primarily, read Israel. He says, "The U.S. is also intensifying space and cyber warfare programs with the potential to completely shut down other nations' military surveillance and command, control, communications, computer and intelligence systems, rendering them defenseless on any but the most basic tactical level."
He speaks of the signing in Prague, on April 8 of this year, of the new START Treaty between Russia and the United States, which "does not contain any constraints on current or planned U.S. conventional prompt global strike capability."
He refers to countless news items on the subject and illustrates the intentions of the United States with one overwhelming example.
He notes that "... 'The Department of Defense is currently exploring the full range of technologies and systems for a Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS) capability that could provide the President more credible and technically suitable options for dealing with new and evolving threats."
I maintain the opinion that any president whosoever, not even the most expert military chief, would not have one minute to know what should be done if it was not already programmed on computers.
Imperturbably, Rozoff relates what the Global Security Network affirms in an analysis titled: "'Cost to test U.S. global-strike missile could reach $500 million,'" by Elaine Grossman.
"'The Obama administration has requested $239.9 million for prompt global strike research and development across the military services in fiscal 2011... If funding levels remain as anticipated into the coming years, the Pentagon will have spent some $2 billion on prompt global strike by the end of fiscal 2015, according to budget documents submitted last month to Capitol Hill.'"
"A terrifying scenario comparable to the effects of a PGS attack, in this case the sea-based version, appeared three years ago in Popular Mechanics:
"'In the Pacific, a nuclear-powered Ohio class submarine surfaces, ready for the president's command to launch. When the order comes, the sub shoots a 65-ton Trident II ballistic missile into the sky. Within 2 minutes, the missile is traveling at more than 20,000 ft. per second. Up and over the oceans and out of the atmosphere it soars for thousands of miles.
"'At the top of its parabola, hanging in space, the Trident's four warheads separate and begin their screaming descent down toward the planet.
"'Traveling as fast as 13,000 mph, the warheads are filled with scored tungsten rods with twice the strength of steel.
"'Just above the target, the warheads detonate, showering the area with thousands of rods-each one up to 12 times as destructive as a .50-caliber bullet. Anything within 3,000 sq. ft. of this whirling, metallic storm is obliterated.'"
Rozoff immediately explains the April 7 statement of General Leonid Ivashov, joint chief of staff of the Russian armed forces, made in a column entitled "Obama's nuclear surprise."
In that same column Ivashov, refers to the speech by the U.S. president in Prague last year: "The existence of thousands of nuclear weapons is the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War" and his signing of the START II agreement in that same city on April 8, Rozoff quotes the author, who stated:
"'No examples of sacrificial service of the U.S. elites to mankind or peoples of other countries can be discovered in the U.S. history over the past century. Would it be realistic to expect the advent of an African-American president to the White House to change the country's political philosophy traditionally aimed at achieving global dominance? Those believing that something like that is possible should try to realize why the U.S. the country with a military budget already greater than those of all other countries of the world combined continues spending enormous sums of money on preparations for war.'"
"... 'The Prompt Global Strike concept envisages a concentrated strike using several thousand precision conventional weapons in 2-4 hours that would completely destroy the critical infrastructures of the target country and thus force it to capitulate.'"
"'The Prompt Global Strike concept is meant to sustain the U.S. monopoly in the military sphere and to widen the gap between it and the rest of the world. Combined with the deployment of the missile defense supposed to keep the U.S. immune to retaliatory strikes from Russia and China, the Prompt Global Strike initiative is going to turn Washington into a modern era global dictator.'"
"'In essence, the new U.S. nuclear doctrine is an element of the novel U.S. security strategy that would be more adequately described as the strategy of total impunity. The U.S. is boosting its military budget, unleashing NATO as the global gendarme, and planning real-life exercise in Iran to test the efficiency of the Prompt Global Strike initiative in practice. At the same time, Washington is talking about the completely nuclear-free world.'"
In essence, Obama is trying to deceive the world by talking of a humanity free of nuclear weapons, which would be replaced by other extremely destructive ones, ideal for terrorizing state leaders and achieving the new strategy of total impunity.
The yankis believe that Iran's rendition is already close. The European Union is expected to announce a sanctions package of its own to be signed on July 26.
The last meeting of the 5+1 took place on July 2, after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad affirmed that "his country would return to talks at the end of August with the participation of Brazil and Turkey."
A high-ranking E.U. official "stated that neither Brazil nor Turkey will be invited to take part in talks, at least not at this level."
"Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki stated that he was in favor of defying international sanctions and continuing with the enriched uranium program."
From Tuesday, July 5, in the face of the European reiteration that they are to promote additional measures against Iran, this country has responded that it will not negotiate until September.
Every day the possibilities of overcoming the insurmountable obstacle are reducing further.
What is going to happen is so evident that it can be foreseen in an almost exact form.
For my part, I must make a self-criticism; I committed an error in affirming in the June 27 Reflection that the conflict would break out on the Thursday, Friday or at the latest Saturday. It was already known that Israeli warships were navigating toward that objective together with the yanki naval forces. The order to search Iranian merchant ships was already given.
However, I did not realize that there was a prior step: confirmation of the negation of permission for the inspection of its mercantile fleet on the part of Iran. In analyzing the torturous language of the Security Council imposing sanctions on that country, I did not notice that detail to give the inspection order full effect. It was the only thing missing.
The 60-day period given by the Security Council on June 9 to receive information on compliance with the Resolution expires on August 8.
But something really most lamentable happened. I was working on the latest material on the delicate issue drafted by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the said document did not contain two key paragraphs the last two of the abovementioned resolution which textually state:
"Requests within 90 days a report from the Director General of the IAEA on whether Iran has established full and sustained suspension of all activities mentioned in resolution 1737 (2006), as well as on the process of Iranian compliance with all the steps required by the IAEA Board of Governors and with other provisions of resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and of this resolution, to the IAEA Board of Governors and in parallel to the Security Council for its consideration;
"Affirms that it shall review Irans actions in light of the report referred to in paragraph 36 above, to be submitted within 90 days, and:
(a) that it shall suspend the implementation of measures if and for so long as Iran suspends all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities, including research and development, as verified by the IAEA, to allow for negotiations in good faith in order to reach an early and mutually acceptable outcome;
(b) that it shall terminate the measures specified in paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 12 of resolution 1737 (2006), as well as in paragraphs 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of resolution 1747 (2007), paragraphs 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of resolution 1803 (2008), and in paragraphs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23 and 24 above, as soon as it determines, following receipt of the report referred to in the paragraph above, that Iran has fully complied with its obligations under the relevant resolutions of the Security Council and met the requirements of the IAEA Board of Governors, as confirmed by the IAEA Board of Governors;
(c) that it shall, in the event that the report shows that Iran has not complied with resolutions 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008) and this resolution, adopt further appropriate measures under Article 41 of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations to persuade Iran to comply with these resolutions and the requirements of the IAEA, and underlines that further decisions will be required should such additional measures be necessary..."
A compañero from the Ministry, after the exhausting work of many hours at the machine making photocopies of all the documents, fell asleep. My eagerness in seeking out information and exchanging points of view on these delicate issues, made it possible for me to discover this omission.
From my point of view, the United States and its NATO allies have said their last word. Two powerful states with authority and prestige did not exercise their right to veto the perfidious U.N. resolution.
It was the only possibility of gaining time to seek some formula for saving the peace, an objective that would have afforded them greater authority to continue fighting for it.
Today, everything is hanging from a tenuous thread.
My principal intention was to advise international public opinion of what was occurring.
I have in part achieved that by observing what was taking place, as a political leader who, for many years, has been confronting the empire, its blockades and its indescribable crimes. But I am not doing it out of revenge.
I am not hesitating to run the risks of compromising my modest moral authority.
I shall continue writing Reflections on the subject. There will be a number more after this one in order to continue going more profoundly into it in July and August, unless some incident occurs to trigger the deadly weapons currently pointed at each other.
I have very much enjoyed the final games of the World Cup and the volleyball games, in which our valiant team is marching at the head of its group in the World League of that sport.

'US will attack Iran if it must'
By HERB KEINON
07/07/2010 12:11
Senators in Jerusalem to discuss Middle East tensions.
Talkbacks (44)
There is wide support in Congress for using all means to keep Iran from
becoming a nuclear power, “through diplomatic and economic sanctions
if we possibly can, through military actions if we must,” visiting US
Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) said Wednesday in Jerusalem.
Lieberman, flanked at a Jerusalem press conference by his senate
colleagues John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), used very tough
language, saying the words “military action” in regards to stopping
Iran’s nuclear program. Most US officials opt to tiptoe around the
subject, saying “no options are off the table.”
Lieberman said that “a certain trumpet needs to sounded here for the
Iranian regime to hear.”
He said the sanctions Congress recently passed against Iran were meant
to signal to Teheran to “negotiate the end of their nuclear program
and re-entry into the civilized world, if that is possible. But if not,
they should know that when Congress says it is unacceptable to get
nuclear weapons, we mean it. We hope economic and diplomatic power will
work, but if we must use force, that must remain a very active
option.”
Regarding Tuesday’s friendly meeting in Washington between Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama, Lieberman –
based on reports he heard from people there – said “it was a
positive meeting, and we can say with some encouragement that the
relationship between the US and Israel is back on track.”
Lieberman, acknowledging that the past year was a “difficult one” in
the US-Israel relationship, said that even during this period “the
members of Congress across party lines continued to both feel and
express strong support for the security of the State of Israel, and for
the relationship.”
Graham was even blunter.
“The Congress has Israel’s back,” he said, “and never
misunderstand that. Whatever relationship problems we have had in the
past, it has never seeped over into Congress. The Congress has been
united in protection of one of our best allies in the world, the State
of Israel.”
Regarding another American ally, Turkey, McCain – referring to both
Ankara’s vote against Iran sanctions at the UN and its hostile
rhetoric toward Israel – said he has been “disappointed recently”
by Turkey’s “actions and words.”
At the same time, he said, Turkey is an old and close ally with whom the
US has common interests.
“I hope that at some point the Turkish leadership would lower the
rhetoric, reduce it to the point where we can try to solve differences
in a quiet and diplomatic way,” McCain said.
Asked what would happen to US-Turkish ties if Ankara severed, as it has
threatened to do, its ties with Israel, McCain replied, “obviously it
wouldn’t be helpful. I hope this won’t be the case. I hope that
there will be conversations.” Saying that the Israeli-Turkish
relationship has “contributed to stability in the Middle East,”
McCain said he found the situation “disturbing,” and said he hoped
the US could play an “interlocutor role to bridge some of these
differences.”
Fundamentally, McCain said, Turkey remains a secular nation that has
“contributed enormously to peace in the region and the world.”
All three senators, who met during their two-day stay with Defense
Minister Ehud Barak and Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi,
as well as with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad,
praised the US-trained PA security forces.
McCain, in an apparent reference to talk about putting PA security
forces at border crossings from Israel into Gaza, said the willingness
of Israel to discuss this issue showed the confidence Israel had in
these forces as well.

Concerns about censorship during gubenatorial campaign
On April 29, 2010 while at the RI state house I received an invitation
to a RI Gubernatorial debate about the mental health system which was to
take place on June 24 at 6PM at Butler Hospital’s ray conference
center and was sponsored by NAMI. When I went there on June 24 I found
the event had been cancelled at the last minute, which I found
suspicious as there was no public notice of this. A few days later I
received an invitation via e-mail to another such debate which is to
take place on July 28 at the RISD Museum’s Metcalf auditorium at
5:30PM. Upon receiving this invitation I looked it over and found some
things of concern.
1. This is being held at a place with no connection to the mental
health system, is difficult to find, has poor parking, and is awkwardly
cramped, thus restricting the number of people who could attend such an
event.
2. Only 4 of the candidates are invited, with Moffit and Block not
attending, why this omission is anyone’s guess.
3. The invitation asks that people reserve in advance and that
questions they plan to ask to the candidates be submitted beforehand.
My concerns are that this is being done is to prevent the public from
presenting their issues freely and to censor the facts from the
candidates, some of whom have created problems for people who have dealt
with the mental health system. If anything this does not appear to be a
fair forum.

Iran seriously imperiled over nuclear program by it's "allies"
This came out in the Russian press around the same time it was announced
on the news last night that medvedev supposedly said Russia has concerns
over Iran's nuclear program. This sudden about face by Arab nations
long friendly with Iran and by Russia must be taken as a serious
sanctioning of invasion. Consider at this point Iran is most
vulnerable, as amrikan/zionist forces may decide to go for broke in an
all out invasion and would use the slightest pretext to do so.

Arab World Supports War Against Iran?
09.07.2010 Source: Pravda.Ru URL:
http://english.pravda.ru/world/asia/114175-arab_world_iran-0
Israeli hawks that urge to strike preventive blows on Iranian nuclear
objects have found a radical ally in the Arab world. Yousef al-Otaiba,
the United Arab Emirates Ambassador to the USA, stated that positive
sides of the military solution to the Iranian nuclear problem outweighed
possible negative results of the use of force in the struggle against
the nuclear program of Iran, The Washington Times wrote.
The UAE Ambassador straightforwardly supported the use of military force
in case economic sanctions against Iran are proved inefficient. The
official acknowledged that the use for force against the Islamic state,
a direct neighbor and a trade partner of the UAE, would lead to severe
economic consequences. The UAE’s trade turnover with Iran makes up $12
billion a year. Such a measure will also trigger massive protest actions
in the Muslim world, the official said.
"We cannot live with a nuclear Iran," the envoy said at a conference in
Aspen, Colorado. "I am willing to absorb what takes place at the expense
of the security of the UAE,” he added.
Russia Today: “We cannot live with a nuclear Iran” – Arab diplomat
The diplomat said in an interview with the Atlantic Magazine that many
Arab states in the region would turn their backs on Washington and move
towards Teheran in the event the US administration failed to stop Iran.
Otaiba was quoted as saying that he "absolutely" wanted the US to use
force to halt Iran's nuclear program.
"Countries in the region view the Iran threat very differently," he
said. "I can only speak for the UAE, but talk of containment and
deterrence really concerns me and makes me very nervous. Iran doesn't
have nuclear power now but … what makes me think that once they have a
nuclear program, we are going to be able to be more successful in
containing them?"
He also said that Iran’s nuclear program posed a much bigger threat to
the UAE than to the USA. “You’re seven thousand miles away. It
threatens your assets and the peaceful process in the region, it may
disrupt the balance of forces, but it does not threat your existence,”
he added.
The remarks from the UAE’s high-ranking official sparked harsh
criticism in Teheran.
"I hope the government of the UAE will correct this viewpoint," said
Kazem Jalali, spokesman for the Iranian parliament's National Security
and Foreign Policy Committee.
Jalali also said that the Iranians may no longer travel to the United
Arab Emirates to avoid possible ill attitude on the part of the UEA
authorities. The money, which the Iranians spend during their visits to
the Emirates, helps the UAE endure the economic crisis, the official
added.
Iran now intends to cut economic ties with the UAE. The head of the
Iranian Board of Trade stated Wednesday that the level of commercial
ties with the Emirates would be cut. The ties will be cut in response to
the UAE’s decision to execute the UN Security Council resolution about
the new sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Last week, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates ordered to
freeze 41 bank accounts of Iranian companies and natural persons in
order to implement the new sanctions against Iran. In June, the
financial authorities of Dubai informed the companies located in free
economic zones of the emirate about the need of taking precautionary
measures during operations with Iranian banks.
Economic sanctions do not scare Iran. The living standard in this
country has never been high. The Iranians can endure a lot, even if the
sanctions make their lives even worse.
Some “hotheads” in this nation may take UAE official’s remarks in
Washington as a reason for taking actions with unpredictable
consequences. US Senator Josef Lieberman also stated during his recent
visit to Israel that the US Congress was discussing an opportunity for
using military power against Iran to make the nation shut down the
nuclear program.
It is worthy of note that Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Foreign Secretary
of Saudi Arabia, shares the above-mentioned opinions expressed by Yousef
al-Otaiba. The sanctions were a long-term solution to the Iranian
nuclear dispute and Saudi Arabia country wanted an “immediate”
resolution, Faisal said during Hillary Clinton’s visit to Saudi
Arabia.
John Bolton, the former US Ambassador to the UN believes that Al-Otaiba
reflected the opinion of all leaders of Arab states in the Persian Gulf.
The United States has been increasing its military presence in the
Persian Gulf. Israeli submarines and missiles appeared in its waters as
well. The current state of affairs in the region reminds the possible
scenario of preparations to the so-called non-contact war, which NATO
conducted in Yugoslavia in 1999.
It is quite possible that the unprecedented remarks from the UAE
ambassador will start verbal artillery preparations to the real war in
the Gulf.

Zendran inheritance dispute update
Recently some pieces of news regarding the status of washington trust and it’s behaviors have surfaced.
First, the location washington trust vacated at 180 washington st during December 5-8 2008 has now been purchased by Coastway. That is the same location which pressed charges against me in 2006, the proceedings of which I have detailed too well. Oddly enough, washington trust does not put the details of their dropping that location on their site.
Online discrepancies led me to investigate washington trust’s Wellesley MA asset. In 2005 washington trust acquired Weston financial, however their website does not specify what kind of services they offer so I went there in person to find out. Oddly enough they had no washington trust paraphernalia there, despite the fact that washingotn trust owns them outright, as they told me. When they asked me the purpose of my wanting Zendran inheritance dispute update
to know more and mentioned my inheritance/trust dispute and current judicial probe they first thought I was joking until I showed them the contact info of the Judge investigating my situation and the file numbers for the court cases from 2006-7, which they claimed they knew nothing about. Oddly when leaving I spotted a Wellesley pd car at the corner of Worcester and William Sts. which was not there when I first entered the business park where Weston financial is located.
Another reason for my visit, which I did not mention to them at the bank, was learning of an incident in December 2009 leslie yeransian, who I was close to, had $1000 stolen from her in a bank transfer in Wellesley Hills, details of which can be found here

What is most noticeable when one looks closely is that those two locations are close by, and the fact that Wellesley is where washinbgton trust decided to begin expanding into Mass. Everyone in the legal situation I have mentioned this to believes this was no coincidence, noting that not only did this coincide with washington trust’s move from the abovementioned location but with the open letter I put on my blog to leslie, namely whoever was responsible for messing with leslie’s finances there is also responsible for messing with me, and it points in the direction of washington trust. I even paid the people at bank of America Wellesley hills a visit, they were so nosy, knew their regulars well, and many people there didn’t know simple banking like how to make change.

First, the location washington trust vacated at 180 washington st during December 5-8 2008 has now been purchased by Coastway. That is the same location which pressed charges against me in 2006, the proceedings of which I have detailed too well. Oddly enough, washington trust does not put the details of their dropping that location on their site.
Online discrepancies led me to investigate washington trust’s Wellesley MA asset. In 2005 washington trust acquired Weston financial, however their website does not specify what kind of services they offer so I went there in person to find out. Oddly enough they had no washington trust paraphernalia there, despite the fact that washingotn trust owns them outright, as they told me. When they asked me the purpose of my wanting Zendran inheritance dispute update
to know more and mentioned my inheritance/trust dispute and current judicial probe they first thought I was joking until I showed them the contact info of the Judge investigating my situation and the file numbers for the court cases from 2006-7, which they claimed they knew nothing about. Oddly when leaving I spotted a Wellesley pd car at the corner of Worcester and William Sts. which was not there when I first entered the business park where Weston financial is located.
Another reason for my visit, which I did not mention to them at the bank, was learning of an incident in December 2009 leslie yeransian, who I was close to, had $1000 stolen from her in a bank transfer in Wellesley Hills, details of which can be found here

The good, bad, and ugly of shit u’s commencement
Recently I attended events involving brown’s commencement and had interesting experiences.
The good; I managed to find decent food at most events. Plus Dr. Khrushchev was glad to see me on brown campus again, telling me I did the right thing in April 2008. Interestingly enough most people remembered me.
The bad; There was a thunderstorm, and though it was nice to see the shitings there get soaked I had to deal with it as well.
The ugly; The shit u pigs would stop what they were doing when they would see me and observe. They can’t stand the fact the law is now on my side and not theirs, not to mention their dirty deeds have come to light.

The Truth about the armenian genocide
Recently I attended some armenian genocide and cultural events I was invited to. I went in a neutral frame of mind, as my paternal grandmother’s father served in the Ottoman military who’s service included killing armenians. If there was one thing that stood out at those events, and whenever armenians commemorate their culture and the genocide they infuse it with myths of their own making, even worse than the jews, and behave so insufferably that whatever feelings of sympathy one expresses come from coercion and one feels that the “sufferings” of armenians are their own fault, which they in truth are. Here I will clarify the myths of the armenian genocide which the armenians make part of their own culture.
One thing the armenians throw around is that they are persecuted because they are christian. Peope who know history know that the romans forced the armenians to convert to the evil that is christianity from Zoroastrianism when armenia was a roman vassal. When Shabour II reconquered armenian for Iran he encouraged the armenians to revert back to Zoroastrianism. Instead agitators like vartan mamikonian who had been brainwashed by roman christians agitated the armenians to revolt, and him and his followers were rightfully ahnilliated at the battle of Avariar. It wa sonly some 3 centuries later that christianity became widespread among the armenians after the Muslims conquered Iran. Had the armenians never adopted christianity their suffering never would have occurred, furthermore it set them up for their problems which began in the 19th century.
They began during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, and it was with him and his armenian mother that these problems began. Throughout history the Ottoman Sultans had fathered heirs with women from countries and peoples they were at war with, be it Serbians, Italians, French, Russians, etc. However all were raised as good Ottomans. Abdul Hamid II’s mother had him baptized as an armenian christian with the name bedros, making him a freak before the House of Osman and scarring him for life. Even worse Abdul Hamid II, aka bedros, grew up during a time when England, france, Austria, and Russia were using the pretence of protecting Christians to invade Ottoman territory, a practice which continued once he became Sultan in 1876. He had to make a decision, and his decision was based on the treatment he received once he became bedros. What else could he do? The armenians were collaborating with the Russians, as so many had entered Russian service, even obtaining prominent positions in the Russian government, and threatening Turkish society as well. They collaborated with the French and british as well, the very foreign powers who were seizing Ottoman lands and threatening the lives of Turks and all Ottoman subjects. There was only one solution, get rid of the armenians, kill them, seize their property, do everything to make them so miserable they would soon not be around. And what did the armenians do? Sure they attempted resistance at first, but then once they realized it was hopeless it ceased and they died, fled, and began spreading myths about why they were persecuted.
If they thought this would stop when Abdul Hamid II was deposed in 1909 they were wrong. Here the armenians blame everything on Talaat Pasha, Enver Pasha, and Jemal Pasha, not realizing those three were merely disciples of the deposed bedros. It was Talaat Pasha who would legislate against the armenians, hoping to outdo the Sultan, the other two, along with the rest of the Ottoman government, simply went along, as it was the law to go after those subversive enemies of the state the armenians. Then came the war. Once Germany entered on the side of Austria-Hungary to defend it against Russia the Ottomans were sought as allies by both Germany and the allies of Russia. It was the seizure of Turkish goods by the allies of Russia that brought the Ottomans on the side of Germany and against the very powers the armenians had been collaborating with. Then came 1915 and the attempt by the british and French to force open the straits by occupying them from the Ottomans. People forget that on April 24, 1915 the Ottomans had been informed that the british and French were invading, something had to be done, and that meant going after the enemies of the Ottomans at the straits and elsewhere, including the armenians. This meant only one thing, kill them wherever they were, after all because of their collaboration they were the enemy. Had they never collaborated with the british and French during the reign of bedros none of their sufferings would have occurred.
What of them afterwards. Those who survived, instead of facing the facts about what had happened, began to create myths, claiming they were the victims when in fact their sufferings were as much their own fault. After all, the Kurds and Greeks had the same problems from the Ottomans yet they did not make the same complaints. Despite the fact that Germany and it’s allies, including the nations created out of the Habsburg empire, had been allied with the Ottomans many armenians fled to those very countries. In fact, when nazi Germany invaded Russia many armenians fought on the side of the nazis, including some who had briefly established an armenian republic around Yerevan, as they saw the nazis as liberators. It was also the nazis who provided the armenians with fodder for their own myths in the form of the jewish holocaust. Like the armenians the jews were persecuted by their own kind inside Germany, and to shame others into giving them what they wanted by claiming they were the victims, and also becoming like social vermin wherever they went. Like the jews they also use coercive education about their genocide to create awareness, presenting the facts so that when one expresses any sympathy it is often made out of coercion, especially as they exhibit the history of their genocide in the same way Norman Finkelstein has complained about how his own people misrepresent their holocaust.
Today it is what the armenians have done differently from the jews and other groups like the jews that stands out. While the jews have welcomed Germans who speak of reconciliation because of the holocaust, the armenians have used the events of 1915 to demonize people of Turkish ancestry in their past, the only ethnic group in history which makes hating another group of people part of their culture, even Turks like Orhan Pamuk have not been welcome by the armenians the way Benedict XVI and Gerhard Schroder has been by the jews. Not to mention those armenians presented as prominent only pollute their professions and societies, like dr kevorkian who kills patients, vartan gregorian who pisses cash into do nothing artistic and educational institutions, the kardashian jendeh who encourage dissolute lifestyles, kirk kerkorian who makes shark business deals, etc.
When one is looking at a person or group of people who claim to be the victims of a catastrophic occurrence one must consider if anything was done to precipitate that occurrence. In the case of the armenians the more one looks at their history the more one sees they have done everything to bring their problems on themselves, and one begins to feel like I have recently, the only bad thing about the armenian genocide was that people like that great-grandfather of mine who participated in it did not finish the job.

Princess Leila, facts about her being maligned by wikipedia
Recently wikipedia, like the rest of wikimedia, has chosen to defame the memory of Princess Leila by rigging it’s website to put up false information about her life and to harass those who mention the truth. Here I am clarifying the points where wikipedia is wrong and putting the facts.
False wiki fact 1; Princess Leila graduated from brown university in 1992.
TRUTH; Princess Leila never graduated from brown, dropping out in 1991, according to many people who knew her as a student she was hazed out by harassment from other faculty and students. All students at brown are listed by their graduation year regardless of whether or not they graduated from brown.
False wiki fact 2; Princess Leila suffered from depression.
TRUTH; No credible clinical diagnosis was ever made of Princess Leila as to whether or not she suffered from depression or any other mental illness.
False wiki fact 3; Princess Leila was found with a lethal dose of quinalbarbitone and a non lethal dose of cocaine in her body on June 10, 2001 according to the coroner’s report on her death.
TRUTH; There is no one credible version of the coroner’s report on her. The report is self-contradictory in stating the quinalbarbitone was lethal but not the cocaine. Furthermore, it is stated she had taken the drugs in Paris before flying to London, however if she had taken that dosage which was reported she never would have survived the flight. The version in the bbc was released on the bbc’s website years after death due to public pressure but no credible print version was found about Princess Leila’s death. Media reports conflict as to how she was found dead, some saying she was found with a phone cord wrapped around her neck. In her mother’s memoirs released in 2004 Farah clearly mentions she ordered the doctor to go into Leila’s hotel room despite Leila telling her mother she did not want to have any contact with her when she was in London.
False wiki fact 4; Princess Leila stole drugs to fuel a drug habit according to the telegraph.
TRUTH; No law enforcement complaint was ever filed against Princess Leila during her lifetime.
It should be further noted that when viewing the history of those who made the changes putting the false information many of those who put that false info are listed as being jewish. I should not have to go into detail how since the creation of the zionist state of israel how the jewish community has maligned facts about Iranian history and people.

Zendran case, Major life altering update
Recently I have learned that the lawyer who helped embezzle my fortune in the 1990's, f thomas lenihan has died, and the news was broken to me in a very unusual way.
On March 17, 2010 I was walking past his law office on my way to the train station around 5:40 PM when I noticed on his nameboard the dates 1939-2003 underneath his name, which had not been there when I walked by 3 1/2 hours earlier nor had they been up there at any point between that point in time and 2003. Thinking it was a St. Patricks day joke I checked with the RI Bar Association to find out if this was true. Upon checking I found he was not listed among RI lawyers and that he was dead, and this was confirmed by an article in the Westerly Sun here
http://www.thewesterlysun.com/news/article_875d29f2-e8c2-11de-becf-001cc4c002e0.html
Apparently his family and law firm had been keeping his name on the law firm and kept the impression he was alive. This false belief was perpetuated by the fact he is listed in West Legal directory
http://pview.findlaw.com/view/2628420_1?channel=LP
and on Attorneys listed
http://www.attorneyslisted.com/update/Westerly/Rhode%20Island/F%20Thomas%20Lenihan.aspx
This comes at a time when the Courts have been contacting his firm on my behalf telling him to make all records on me available or they will subopena him and the records, after evidence of foul play has been revealed.
This is a major win for me, for even though I have not gained any money tommy lenihan is no longer in a position to do to me and others harm through the legal system. This man was and is one of the most hated men and lawyers in Westerly, RI, and the country who had done hundreds of people wrong. Now he and his firm are beginning to get theirs.

No Ruz oddness at brown
Last night I attended a naqqal performance of Bijan e Manizeh at brown, put on by professor iraj anvar, being invited there by the Iranian association of boston. Only a few people from boston were there, just a few people there I recognized out of a crowd of 30 odd people. The inglissi translation was not very precise and the Farsi performance was a newer edition. , and when I asked iraj about that he just got an attitude.
Worst of all was when leaving I noticed one of the brown pigs had parked his car at the watson istitute, which is next door. A few minutes later once I was on the trolley that same pig was driving around the block. And this after the providence police assured me that the brown pigs would leave me alone as I was invited legitimately.
As it turns out I am not the only one openly complaining about the brown pigs. Recently Episcopal Charities has been complaining about how the brown pigs have been harassing poor people going to the meal site at st. stephens, which is on george st but has brown buildings around it. When confronted by EC brown has suggested that they bus people to and from the meal site. Needless to say EC and many people are now NOT happy with brown.

More watson/shit u oddness going around.
Recently more oddness has been going on around watson/shit u, and not just their pigs staring at me giving everyone there the finger whenever I go by.
1. Recently greg chafee, linc chafee's brother and wacri president, has begun listing wacri events on the watson institute's website. Only thing is those events are NOT open to the public, rather they are restricted to elitsists. My membership with wacri was terminated after I flashbacked when put in the room with brown administration who caused the legal problems I had and the hope club complained, however those of my contacts there who knew my situation refunded my memberhsip. This also creates a conflict as linc chafee went out of his brown contract early, so something is up. Contact greg at gregchafeewacri@gmail.com or call (401) 228-8657 to find out more about these elitists.
2. Recently salman rushdie returned to brown, this time they dropped the pig squad, why is anyone's guess as they've been all over campus at places where there are no problems.
3. Reently the Midle East studies dpt has been packed with zionists including omer bartov, martha joukowsky, nina tannenwald by that tramp cammett a far cry when I was there, and are focusing on irrelevant topics. Mosst concerning is bartov, whose "research" nas taken him into areas where my family has been and thus put him in a position to snoop on myself.
4. Recently lucnida waston has become involved with sarah lawrence college. The family that created sarah lawrence college are part owners with me at kensico cemetary, I wonder if lucinda or the fucks at watson/brown are aware of it?

These mousavi's are more dangerous
With all the attention being focused on mir hussein mousavi's cia ties
most people are ignoring 2 of his cousins who serve in Iran's militaty.
One is Commander of Army's 4th naval zone Seyed Mahmoud Mousavi
http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8805101306
The other is Iranian Army Lieutenant Commander, General Abdolrahim
Mousavi
http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8809081568
Notice both these individuals occupy key positions in Iran's military
and are related to mir hussein mousavi. Should an invasion occur these
individuals probably might switch sides and frag Iranian forces.
Remember, the defection of baath members at the start of the Iraqi
invasin did more damage to Saddam Hussein than any amrikan attacks.

Iran targeted for american missle attack
Notice this comes at a time when the amrikan backed "green movement" has
been cracked down on and at a time when amrikan and zionist plans to
attack Iran over it's military buildup and nuclear program are being
kicked around. People forget Iran's nuclear program is to benefit Iran
and iran's military buildup is defensive, unlike amrika which has no
business in the gulf.

MP Decries Reinforcement of US Military Buildup in Region
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian lawmaker on Tuesday strongly criticized
the United States' new military move in the Persian Gulf, warning that
the measure would endanger peace and security in the region.
"The US move to set up a new military base in the region runs counter to
the path of regional and international stability, peace and security,"
Rapporteur of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy
Commission Kazzem Jalali told FNA, cautioning that the measure is not
mere manifestation of a political stance.
He pointed out that Washington is seeking a strong and direct military
presence in the region after its different scenarios for the Middle-East
failed.
Reminding that the US move would serve the interests of those countries
producing new and modern weapons, Jalali said, "The US measure will
cause discord and differences in the region, which would serve their
interests."
Jalali further underlined that the US move is also aimed at inspiring
the regional states with a feeling of Iranophobia to divert attentions
from the threat of the foreign forces' military presence in the region.
"The regional states should realize that peace and stability in the
region can be materialized through establishment of a new and modern
collective security system in the region," Jalali concluded.
Jalai's remarks came two days after US officials said on Sunday that the
United States has expanded land- and sea-based missile defense systems
in and around the Persian Gulf to counter what it sees as Iran's growing
missile threat.
Four Mideast countries to have the US system are Kuwait, the United Arab
Emirates, Bahrain - which also hosts the US Navy's 5th Fleet
headquarters - and Qatar, which has a modernized US air operations
center that played a key role in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
General David Petraeus, the US Central Command chief responsible for US
military operations across the Middle East, said the US now has eight
Patriot missile batteries stationed in the Persian Gulf region - two
each in four countries.

attack Iran over it's military buildup and nuclear program are being
kicked around. People forget Iran's nuclear program is to benefit Iran
and iran's military buildup is defensive, unlike amrika which has no
business in the gulf.
