  • Iran to stop pricing oil in U.S. dollar

    http://english.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_id=13020

    Iran, the worlds’ fourth largest oil producer, will stop pricing oil in U.S. dollars, with less than half of its oil income now paid in the American currency, Iran’s central bank governor said.
    Can you say: "WAR"

      Ahmadinejad Bluffing to Hide His Weakness

      http://www.spiegel.de/international/...476638,00.html


      "In fact, things are getting increasingly tight for radical Islamist Ahmadinejad. The number of his critics, even from within the Islamic establishment is growing, as is discontent in the population. Foreign policy conflicts can save him: the bigger the better. This conflict strategy seems to be welcome in the West, especially in the US. Any provocation from the radicals in Tehran delivers fresh material to portray Iran as 'most dangerous enemy of world peace' to prepare the public psychologically for a possible military attack on Iran."

      "From the US point of view this isn't just about the nuclear dispute -- they could have solved that through direct negotiations with Tehran long ago. Rather, this is about the role of Iran in the entire region: In Iraq, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Afghanistan. And it's about US hegemony in the Middle East. One has to ask what George W. Bush would do if it weren't for Ahmadinejad."

        Re: Ahmadinejad Bluffing to Hide His Weakness

        Everytime Ahmadinejad opens his mouth and every action Ahmadinejad takes the Seven Sisters, Wall Street and London make a little more profit. Throughout the history of Brit colonialization religion always served the Empire's purpose and Iran is no different. To think that Iran is serving anyone but London interests is only kidding themself. All these Iran drops the d0llar stories are today and always have been nothing but bullshit. Selling oil in Euro D0llars or selling oil in D0llars is really the samething. Selling this oil on either Wall Street or London is really the same thing. No matter what these stories claim the d0llar is still involved. Besides Israel, who else has profited more from the invasion of Iraq? Iran certainly has. Que bono?

          Ok, I think there is a major power play for control of the World.

          I think the backers of Bush and his clan and the Old Elite from Europe have a rift going on. Let’s see who will turn out victorious.

          Check these out and tell me what you think:

          http://uruknet.info/?p=m32036&s1=h1

          Almost immediately after the 9/11 attacks, they began stitching together the arc of instability in their minds with an eye not so much to Arabs, or South Asians, or even Israelis, but to playing their version of what the British imperialists used to call "the Great Game." They had the full-scale rollback of energy-giant Russia in mind as well as the containment or rollback of potential future imperial power, China, already visibly desperate for Iraqi, Iranian, and other energy supplies. In the year before the invasion of Iraq, they were remarkably blunt about this. They proudly published that seminal document of the Bush era, the National Security Strategy of the United States of America, 2002, which called for the U.S. to "build and maintain" its military power on the planet "beyond challenge."

          Think about that for a moment. A single power on Earth "beyond challenge." This was a dream of planetary dominion that once would have been left to madmen. But in what looked like a world with only one Great Power, it was easy enough to imagine a Great Game with only one great player, an arms race with only one swift runner.

          With the Argentine crisis averted, it was business as usual and globalism could continue. The future was looking all the brighter and no war or market crash was going to get in the way. The banks were still the bosses. However with the madcap escapades Of George W. Bush’s neo-con administration, things began to take an unexpected turn. It was if the new occupants in the White House had lost all interest in world affairs except with what was going on in the Middle East. This myopic foreign policy obsession opened a door for those restive forces tired of living under the oppressive yoke of neo-liberal free trade practices. Slowly but steadily one Latin American country after another began to creep leftward.

          Whether there was a conspiracy on 9/11 or not, it is pretty clear that the U.S' main motive for invading Afghanistan was oil profits. That said, in allowing Bush to unleash the military to embark on another possible conspiracy: the open-ended War on Terror, 9/11 was perhaps the best thing that ever happened in their eyes.

          After the Afghanistan invasion went so well, Bush began talking about an Axis of Evil involving, Iraq, Iran and North Korea. Note that two of those countries, Iraq and Iran have the world's next largest oil reserves after U.S. ally Saudi Arabia. Bush then invaded Iraq, justified by the creation of false evidence. Among the lies were Saddam's connection to Osama bin Laden and his hand in 9/11. The Neocons' Unocal operative Khalilzad was moved from Afghanistan to Iraq in his U.S. Ambassador role to smooth their taking control of Iraq's oil profits. Iraq was seen to be the militarily weaker of the two and gave the Neocons, troops, armor and fighter jets on both sides of the militarily stronger axis member, Iran.

          In this strategic positioning, knowingly or not, Bush drew Iran into announcing that they had successfully enriched uranium. This led to the intense stand-off between Iran and the West, which is currently reverberating in the Iraq theatre and in the U.N. Security Council. In other words Bush drew Iran into the actions that will probably become the justification for an invasion.

          In conclusion: either 9/11 was a conspiracy that allowed the U.S to embark on the War on Terror, which, in actual fact could well be a conspiracy to take control the world's oil-reserves, or the U.S. administration has capitalized on the tragic events of 9/11 to embark on the same war, possibly for nothing more than the future of U.S oil security, to fuel their world hegemony. The irony is that they may have started a spiralling end to their hegemony in doing so.
          Think about this, the politicos control the US Guns, the Bankers the money, the Arabs the OIL. The Old World bankers think they could control the US guns by controlling the politicos, but I think the politicos figured this one out and they want to control the oil in order to control the money.

          Simply put, the disciples now want to be masters.

            For me it's the same old game that it's always been and it's those that never get mentioned that still run the game. It's the Kings and Queens that still rule the world, it's the Kings and Queens money that the banksters still use and control with the Queens Bondsmen, I noticed that Sir Templeton and Sir Greenspan got their titles from the Queen and not the other way around. It's the Kings and Queens who give us our Representives, Esquires and Lords and it's still the Queen's military who keeps it all together.

            Looks like we're having a little revolt with the Blue Bloods, I guess Brazil, Russia, India and China don't have any royalty and they certainly are tired of paying the royalties. I don't see a rift between the Bushclan and the Old Elite of Europe, except Old Continental Europe meaning Germany and France sometimes grow tired of serving the Queen of England. Queen Beatrix still controls Royal Dutch Shell, I can't imagine that she's not still the single richest person in the world. Even King V of Norway still sells his countries oil in d0llars. It was pretty funny when George Bush first went to Europe to sell his invasion of Iraq plan as being for spreading democracy and the first people he calls on was the Queen of England and the Queen of the Netherlands. I don't think much has changed in the last 500-years, maybe this time will be different, it's still a bit too early to tell.

              Gates announces longer tours in Iraq

              http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070411/...iraq_us_troops

              WASHINGTON - Beginning immediately, all active-duty Army soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan will serve 15-month tours — three months longer than the usual standard, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Wednesday.
              http://www.boston.com/news/nation/ar..._bank_robbery/
              14,000 in Guard may be Iraq-bound
              The Pentagon has identified about 14,000 National Guard soldiers who may go to Iraq as part of planning for deployments stretching as far as 2010, a senior US defense official said yesterday. Some of the Guard soldiers, part of the US military's reserve component, may face deployment far sooner than the Pentagon's goal of five years at home for every year they are mobilized, the official said. But the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement has yet been made, said more than two-thirds of the soldiers had not previously been deployed. (Reuters)
              It is a done deal.

                Re: Iran to stop pricing oil in U.S. dollar

                Tet, for once I completely comprehend all your points and am in 100% agreement.

                The Iranian government is not stupid. They know how to play the game. They know if they even sneezed a little bit of radioactive material that the US military (along with NATO) would clusterbomb the hell out of anything that looked like it could be used as a weapon. We would bomb them back into the 10th century. But of course they know all they have to do is rattle the saber and both themselves as well as many oil companies (and your london bankers) get richer and more powerful.

                  Brazil on the other hand is a completely different story, they've been enriching uranium for over three years now, Brazil has their own space program with the capability of delivering a nuclear missile anywhere in the world. Because of this the US, NATO and everyone else is too chickenshit to do anything about it. It's such a concern the US makes damn sure nobody even mentions it. Wouldn't shock me if Brazil lets everyone know they've got the bomb later this year, hell they had one back in the seventies and decided to take it apart. To make sure imperial stormtroopers don't invade your country you've got to have a bomb, unfortunately Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Sudan, Lebanon, Grenanda, didn't have one or none of this crap would be going on today.

                    Tet,

                    See what Fidel Castro says:

                    http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id...tionid=3510303

                    The worst may be yet to come: a new war aimed at securing gas and oil supplies that can take humanity to the brink of total annihilation.

                    Invoking intelligence sources, Russian newspapers have reported that a war on Iran has been in the works for over three years now, since the day the government of the United States resolved to occupy Iraq completely, unleashing a seemingly endless and despicable civil war.

These families later go on to topple the Hawai'ian Monarchy bringing in the US Marines and take over the islands turning them into a Republic, then a territory of the US and eventually a state. Population of native Hawai'ians goes from about 300,000 to about 50,000. The globalists replay this same theme over and over, I don't think it turns out the same in Brazil.

                        Military presents evidence of Iran training Iraq fighters

                        http://news.bostonherald.com/interna...ticleid=194261

                        BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi militia fighters are being trained in Iran to build and use deadly armor-piercing roadside bombs and complex attack strategies against American forces, a U.S. general said in a new presentation of evidence of Iranian meddling.

                        Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said interrogations of fighters captured as recently as this month confirmed many had been in Iranian training camps.

                        “They do receive training on how to assemble and employ EFPs,” Caldwell said. EFPs - explosively formed penetrators - can penetrate armored vehicles with fist-size lumps of molten copper. U.S. officials say EFPs have killed at least 170 U.S. soldiers.
                        Marching right along....

                          When the day comes that the Coalition of the Coerced, plus US troops and US/UK/I mercenaries no longer serve Iranian interests that will be the day Iran decides to help the Iraqi resistance. A simple RPG takes out a tank, a remotely fired IED takes out a tank, the Iraqi resistance needs no help taking out tanks and armored vehicles. The war against these Sunni Rebels serves who's purpose? Wow, what do you know it's Shia Iran's. This perceived US military threat operating on Iran's borders serves who's purpose? Interesting that it helps the Iranian mullahs increase their control over what once was a Iranian secular society, with increased Iranian military spending. A disfunctional Iraqi government serves who's purpose? Iran again. Iraqi oil exports going from 3 million barrels per day to a little over 1 million barrels per day serves who's purpose? What do you know it's Iran again. $70 oil as opposed to $30 oil serves who's purpose? Looks like once again that helps Iran.

                          The Iraqi resistance needs help knocking down US helicopters and when the rate of downed helicopters changes from one a week to something higher, then and only then do we know Iran has decided to help out the resistance. This war helps Iran way too much for Iran to want to change the situation. At any time, Iran could wipe out US military forces operating in the Persian area, so why don't they? I notice Halliburton still has many contracts with Iran, so just who's side is Iran on in this conflict?

                            Halliburton announced that all of its contractual commitments in Iran have been completed and the company is no longer working in Iran. The winding down of Halliburton's work came as the result of a decision announced in January 2005 that only contractual commitments existing at that time would be honored, and that no new work would be accepted going forward. Halliburton's prior business in Iran was clearly permissible under applicable laws and regulations

                              on in Iran and now that they've moved their headquarters to Dubai they've got no worries in regard to dealing with Iran, lots and lots of bucks to be made doing just that.
