World War 3: Lawsuit gives U.S. government ammo to attack Iran

“We are dealing with fabrications whereby a war agenda, which has been on the Pentagon’s drawing board for many years, is now seeking justification to go live, and we’ve seen the drone attacks, we’ve seen the sanctions.”-Michel Chossudovsky, Center for Research on Globalization

On December 15, a lawsuit supposedly brought by victims of the September 11th, 2001 attacks, won a default judgment (default means the accused didn’t show up).  The problem is that it blames Iran and Lebanon for the World Trade Center attacks!  Analysts believe the leaders of the United States could claim this court case as ‘proof’ that Iran is part of anti-Shia/pro-Wahhabi al Qaeda (Iran is majority Shia Muslim).

“There is absolutely no evidence that Iran aided the 9/11 attacks. There is ample evidence after collection that there was conspiracy and the complicity of the U.S. government…There is absolutely no evidence that al Qaeda or the Taliban were involved in the 9/11 attacks. In fact, if there is anyone behind al Qaeda, it was the Central Intelligence Agency, going back to the Soviet Afghan war!”-Michel Chossudovsky, Center for Research on Globalization

Analysts say the U.S. government is setting the stage, just like they did prior to invading Iraq: “What we are seeing now is this strange self-fulfilling prophecy process. This is exactly what we saw with Iraq. This is a campaign to go to war.”–Jamal Abdi, National Iranian American Council

Iran even helped the U.S. topple the Taliban (who had executed Iranian diplomats): “Immediately afterwards Iran condemned the attacks. There were candlelit vigils on the streets of Tehran in solidarity with the Americans who lost their lives. You saw Iran cooperating with the United States in helping to topple the Taliban, the enemy of Iran.”–Jamal Abdi, National Iranian American Council

Here’s the real reason the U.S., and the United Kingdom, want to attack Iran: “…Iran has 10 per cent of the world’s oil reserves, four or five times the amount of the United States; it’s in a crucial region, it doesn’t accept U.S. hegemony and it’s an ally of Russia and China.”-Michel Chossudovsky, Center for Research on Globalization

What Economic Recovery? One step closer to One World Government, IMF proposes international co-op, hints at Global Great Depression

“It’s not a crisis that will be resolved by one group of countries taking action. It’s going to be hopefully resolved by all countries, all regions, all categories of countries actually taking action.”-Christine Lagarde, IMF Managing Director

The director of the International Monetary Fund made that comment in a U.S. State Department conference on December 15.  Christine Lagarde also used the word “retraction” which is another way of saying economic depression.

Lagarde said she is greatly concerned because recent efforts to ‘save’ Europe have failed, and there is growing economic protectionism, and political isolationism, which will only make the global economy worse.  These are all things that helped cause the Great Depression of the 1920s-1930s.

She is calling for a new global financial co-operative system to prevent the coming Global Great Depression.

Too Big to Fail/Jail: New bank sanctions against Iran or against You? HR 1905 passes House & Senate! Bill reveals U.S. citizens are slaves owned by Banks!!!

On December 14, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Iran Threat Reduction Act of 2011.  It passed with an overwhelming majority; 410 for, 11 against and 12 abstaining.

The U.S. Senate is now debating their version.

Basically HR 1905 continues the same old sanctions, but with some interesting exemptions and additions:

(1)   the procurement of certain defense articles or services; [this implies that the U.S. Defense Department, or U.S. military industrial complex is doing business with Iran?]

(2)   eligible products to designated countries or instrumentalities;  [“instrumentalities” must mean ‘tools’, or patsies of the United States]

(3)   products, technology, or services under contracts entered into before the date on which the President publishes in the Federal Register the name of the person on which the sanctions are to be imposed;  [in other words some individuals and organizations will be ‘grandfathered’, and not subject to sanctions]

(4)   spare or component parts, or information and technology that are essential to U.S. products or production, and related servicing and maintenance; or  [again more evidence that the U.S. is doing business with Iran]

(5)   medicines, medical supplies, or other humanitarian items.

Here’s some more interesting statements from the HR 1905:

“The bill would state that a determination to impose sanctions under this Act shall not be reviewable in any court.” [so much for the ‘rule of law’]

“The bill would also authorize the President to provide financial and political assistance to certain foreign and domestic type individuals, organizations, and entities that support democracy in Iran.” [code for creating a situation like Libya, or Syria, and of course that’s your taxpayer dollars at work]

“The bill would also impose specified sanctions on a person that knowingly assisted in the exportation of petroleum, oil, or natural gas produced by the IRGC or its affiliates.” [notice this specifically mentions Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), it does not ban all oil from Iran as the mainstream media leads us to believe. Also, the IRGC is not heavily involved with oil production in Iran, they are a military organization first and foremost, so how effective is this sanction?]

“The bill would block the U.S. property interests of foreign persons or their affiliates that have committed, or pose a significant risk of committing, acts of violence threatening the peace or economic stability of Iraq or Afghanistan.” [notice this statement is not directed against Iranians, but any “foreign persons” and concerns Iraq and Afghanistan]

“The bill would direct the President to develop a National Strategy to Counter Iran.” [code for war!!!]

“The bill would amend the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 to direct the Secretary of the Treasury to require any person owned [!?] or controlled [!?] by a domestic financial institution to certify that such person is not engaged in corresponding relations or business activity with the IRGC.” [notice this statement admits that U.S. citizens are not free but are slaves to any U.S. bank, credit union or lending institution that they owe money to, or do business through!!!]

“The bill would require a report on the Central Bank of Iran’s activities to facilitate Iran’s efforts to acquire nuclear missile capacities and promote terrorism.” [really, and how is that information going to be acquired? Is the Bank of Iran going to present their financial transactions to the President of the United States? this statement also presumes guilt without evidence or conviction]

HR 1905 ends with a huge presumption of guilt, which guarantees war with Iran.

Lastly, the bill would terminate the provisions of the Act when Iran:

(1)   has dismantled its efforts to develop or acquire nuclear, chemical and biological weapons;

(2)   no longer provides support for acts of international terrorism; and

(3)   poses no threat to U.S. national security, interests, or allies.

There is no way the Iranian government can disprove the final 3 requirements of HR 1905. It’s the same situation as when Bush Jr made his claims against Iraq, which turned out to be complete lies!!!

Update:

The U.S. Senate passed HR 1905 at the end of May 2012.

Contractor Incompetence: 14 bomb sniffing dogs suffocated in an unventilated truck at the Houston airport

A U.S. military contractor is suing two Texas companies for killing 14 bomb sniffing dogs.  The dogs were supposed to be shipped to U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

The two companies being sued are Indian Creek Enterprises Incorporated and Live Animal Transportation Services.

The military contractor said the dogs were supposed to have been put in the Houston airport’s kennel, because their flight was canceled.  Instead the transportation contractors left the dogs locked in a sealed, unventilated truck.  On December 21, 2010, the military contractor checked on the dogs, only to discover them in the truck, all dead.

There was blood and other evidence that the dogs tried to get out.

Texas media can not get a hold of the owners of Indian Creek Enterprises Incorporated.  The other contractor, Live Animal Transportation Services, has a new owner who basically says this is the first he’s heard of it.

World War 3: Former U.S. National Security adviser says War with Iran would be Armageddon, says American people are being driven by fear

“We think we are going to avoid war by moving toward compulsion. But the more you lean toward compulsion, the more the choice becomes war if it doesn’t work.”-Zbignew Brzezinski, former U.S. National Security Adviser

Brzezinski worked for President Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s. At a meeting of the Atlantic Council, on December 14, he, along with former NSA officials Brent Scowcroft, Jim Jones and Henry Kissinger, said the United States is facing the most significant world changes since the end of the Cold War.

Brzezinski also said the people, and leadership of the United States are not handling it very well:  “Our public is driven by fear, ignorance, demagogy to a very high degree and that I think has a paralyzing effect in intelligent management.”

He added that if there was war with Iran it would be devastating for the U.S.: “If we slide into a conflict with Iran, in this or that fashion, the consequences for us will be disastrous, disastrous on a massive scale and also globally at the same time.”

NAZI-land & United Police States of America: Congress passes final version of National Defense Authorization Act. Obama says he approves

“This is a giant step, this should be the biggest news going right now, literally legalizing martial law…This is big. This step where they can literally arrest American citizens and put them away without trial….is arrogant and bold and dangerous.”–Ron Paul, U.S. Representative for Texas

On the evening of December 14, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the final version of the controversial National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2012.  It passed with 283 representatives voting for, and 136 against.  It will cost U.S. taxpayers $662 billion!

Officials claim they changed some provisions regarding the use of the military as police within the United States, and the detention of U.S. citizens, but still included a loophole for the President to do so by using “national security” as an excuse!

President Obama’s advisers say they’re fine with that: “…language does not challenge or constrain the president’s ability to collect intelligence, incapacitate dangerous terrorists, and protect the American people, and the president’s senior advisors will not recommend a veto.”–Jay Carney, White House Press Secretary

The bill also continues huge spending on operations in Iraq, even though the U.S. is officially getting out of Iraq.  Many of the U.S. forces leaving Iraq are still being based in the Middle East, like in Kuwait.  Also, most military troops in Iraq will be replaced by mercenaries, I mean private security contractors.  Did you know the murderous security contractor formerly known as Blackwater, formerly known as Xe Services, and now known as Academi, is about to get a big chunk of that money to continue operations in Iraq?

The spending bill shows that the United States, under Obama, has no intention of reducing military operations that drain precious tax dollars with no return on investment for the average person in the U.S.!

“Those troops stationed overseas aggravate our enemies, motivate our enemies. I think it’s a danger to our national defense, and we could save a lot of money cutting out the military expenditures that contribute nothing to our defense.”-Ron Paul, U.S. Representative for Texas

World War 3 & Government Incompetence: Stealth drone incident reveals diplomatic impotence of the United States

“We have asked for it back. We’ll see how the Iranians respond.”-Barack Obama, President of the United States

“I don’t expect that that will happen.”-Leon Panetta, U.S. Secretary of Defense

“We submitted a formal request for the return of our lost equipment as we would in any situation to any government around the world.”-Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State

“There are people here who have been able to control this spy plane, who can surely analyze this plane’s system…In any case, now we have this spy plane.”-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran

World War 3: Iranian official says if another U.S. drone violates Iranian air space, then the War is On, bitch!

“Our question is that if this aircraft belonged to Iran and had violated U.S. territory, how many sessions would the international community and the UN Security Council have held and how many resolutions would they have issued against Iran?”-Esmail Kowsari, Deputy Chairman of the Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Committee

Kowsari pointed out the hypocrisy of the UN, in not denouncing the fact that the United States broke internatonal law when it sent the RQ-170 stealth UAV into Iranian air space.  Two unnamed U.S. officials say the recon drone was supposed to stay in Afghan air space while spying on Iran.

Kowasri added that if it happens again Iran “…will target every U.S. military base anywhere in the world.”

Government & Military Incompetence: Dumping of soldiers’ bodies bigger than first thought. Proof the Generals and Admirals don’t give a rat’s ass about you peons, you’re nothin’ but cannon fodder!

“What the hell? We spent millions, tens of millions, to find any trace of soldiers killed, and they’re concerned about a ‘massive’ effort to go back and pull out the files and find out how many soldiers were disrespected this way?”-Rush Holt, U.S. House of Representatives for New Jersey

Last month an investigation was conducted, after three whistle blowers revealed that bodies, and body parts of service men and women, killed in action, were being disrespected by being thrown into Virginia trash dumps.

“They have known that they were doing something disgusting, and they were doing everything they could to keep it from us!”-Gari-Lynn Smith, husband killed in Iraq and whose body parts were thrown in the trash by the U.S. Air Force

The investigation revealed that this is big.  The U.S. Air Force handles mortuary duties at Dover AFB, Delaware.  The mortuary director, Trevor Dean, admitted the practice goes back as far as 1996!

Air Force officials say they threw the cremated remains in the landfills because the family members signed releases saying they could do so.  However, those releases specified the remains would be disposed of in a dignified way.  Air Force Lieutenant General Darrel Jones was asked by the Washington Post if throwing them in the trash was dignified?  His response was: “The way we’re doing it today is much better.”

What’s the new way?  Why, they’re now dumping them in the ocean!  Did these Air Force wing nuts ever hear of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?

“The Tomb of the Unknown is one of our nation’s most hallowed places, guarded around the clock, regardless of weather, every day of the year. We owe this spirit of reverence not only to the unknown service members entombed at Arlington, but to all those who wear the uniform to protect and defend our freedom.”-joint statement by House Representatives Darrell Issa for California and Elijah Cummings for Maryland

Don’t think the new Defense Secretary, Leon Panetta is upset: “The secretary is comfortable with the way the Air Force has handled this.”-John Kirby, Captain U.S. Navy, Pentagon

Of the more than 2,700 body parts that were cremated and dumped, 274 were identified as individuals.  Obviously there’s more.  For one the Air Force never told the trash haulers, or the landfill operators that they were dumping human remains.  Hell, in some parts of this country (depends on local laws) it’s actually illegal to dump human remains into landfills!

“It’s a moral thing. Someone killed overseas fighting for our country, I wouldn’t want them buried, any part of them, in the landfill.”-Jeff Jenkins, manager of King George landfill

The operators of the main landfill used, King George in Virginia, are considering legal action against the Air Force.

“Obviously, we would be opposed to taking cremated remains of our servicemen and servicewomen and putting them in our landfill. But it sounds like a lot of us were pulled in unknowingly to this unfortunate situation with the Air Force.”-Lisa Kardell, Waste Management, operator of King George landfill

This is more proof that the 1% Elitist leaders of our country don’t care about any of the 99%’s service, we’re all just cannon fodder for their games!

World War 3: Iran reveals U.S. Stealth drone, shot down by cyber bullets. Iranians are expert reverse engineers now they have latest U.S. military technology. Is the U.S. planning a commando raid?

“It carries a variety of systems that wouldn’t be much of a benefit to Iran, but to its allies such as China and Russia, it’s a potential gold mine.”-Peter W. Singer, author of Wired for War

Iran has put on public display the Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel stealth UAV.  The vehicle in the Iranian video matches photos taken of a Sentinel possibly operated from Pakistan’s Shamis air base.  Could it be that the real reason for U.S. forces evacuating Shamis is because their precious stealth UAV, nicknamed The Beast of Kandahar, got shot down by Iranians?

Back in January of this year, the buzz on the internet, concerning the appearance of the Beast in Afghan skies, was what was it doing there, it’s just a high tech and highly expensive recon vehicle?  It was first spotted over Afghanistan back in 2009.  Now, Iranian media says Afghan officials told the Iranian government the Beast was being used to spy on Iran.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps was ordered to hunt down the Beast, and they did.  But instead of using real bullets or missiles, they used their Iranian designed electronic warfare computers.  This explains why U.S./NATO operators lost control of the UAV: “The operators of the UAV lost control of the aircraft and had been working to determine its status.”-NATO statement

In fact, reports say that the possibility that the Beast was a victim of remote cyber hacking never crossed the minds of those operating the multi-million dollar UAV.

One reason they didn’t think it was hacked is that, according to John Bumgarner of research company U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit, the UAV should have self destructed if it was hacked.

Another UAV ‘expert’ from the United States said “…what the Iranians have is a pile of wreckage, many small and damaged pieces from which they could glean little in the way of technological insights.”-Loren Thompson, Lexington Institute

That was before the Iranians released the video of a near intact aircraft, boy does that UAV ‘expert’ have egg on his face!

So since the ‘experts’ say the Beast should have self destructed if it sensed it was being hacked, and, even if it suffered a malfunction it should’ve crashed into a thousand tiny bits, yet, the Iranians have a nearly intact Beast to publicly display, it strongly suggests that they not only hacked it, but were able to disable any self destruct and land it!

Islamic Revolution Guards Corps say they will reverse engineer the UAV.

By the way, flying a military aircraft into another country’s airspace, without permission, constitutes an act of war under international law.  So officially the United States is at war with Iran.
