DRUMS OF WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST:
A TUG-OF-WAR BETWEEN IRAN AND THE US/ISRAEL
Iran's "WMD's" threaten to vaporize the US Dollar
Whilst the internal struggle in the United States continues unabated
between "Pragmatics" and "Hawks" as we describe in previous reports,
PsyWar (psychological war) between the US and Israel on the one side,
and Iran, on the other, continues escalating. The "Hawks" in the US
(the Bush Administration) and in Israel (the Olmert Government)
insist that they will not tolerate Iran having a nuclear energy
program, thus openly threatening that country with pre-emptive
unilateral military attack. At least that is how this whole matter
is being presented to world public opinion.
The key factors surrounding this showdown, however, are actually
quite different. The on-going "Crisis with Iran" is governed by
other factors that are NOT being properly addressed and discussed in
the mainstream global media, the main one being the implicit threat
from Iran of triggering a grave crisis of the US Dollar when they
finally decide to open the new Oil Bourse in Tehran they have been
announcing over the past two years. Because when that finally
happens, an important part of the world's oil market (an estimated 30
to 40 percent of total world output) will cease being traded in US
Dollars and will instead be done mainly in Euros, with supplementary
bilateral deals in Roubles (with Russia), and Yuans (with China).
Other countries sensitive to US bullying will no doubt follow suit
and join this new System (Venezuela? Nigeria? Malasia?). The result
will be that a huge slice of the world's oil market will stop trading
in "Petro-Dollars" and begin trading in "Petro-Euros" instead.
This will have a potentially devastating effect on the Dollar because
there will be a sudden great demand for Euros and, symetrically, a
great supply of US Dollars in global exchange and finacial markets.
Those freed-up Dollars will automatically tend to flow rapidly
towards the United States and financial circuits centered in New York
and London, flooding them with uncontrollable masses of "former
Petro-Dollars", generating high inflation - maybe even
hyper-inflation. Last year, in an article called "Death and
Resurrection of the US Dollar" (published by GlobalResearch, an
up-dated version of which we will make available next week), we
described how this whole potential monetary crisis of the US Dollar
might occur.
The key aspect that we need to understand is that the immediate
effect of such a monetary "run on the US Dollar" would be to force
the US to limit - if not suspend - its war operations in the Middle
East, in order to cope with the National Emergency inside the US that
would explode from a generalized economic collapse and ensuing social
crisis. Such a National Emergency would arise from the aggregated
effects of an uncontrolled flood of "former Petro-Dollars" triggering
the collapse of the Real Estate and Stock markets, the bankruptcy of
a large number of mega-corporations; all of which will be made worse
by the, as yet, unresolved and potentially extremely volatile Racial
and Ethnic Fracture Lines in US Society. Clearly, the Bush
Administration cannot allow the US to slide into the chaos of a
generalized Social War.
Mission Accomplished?
George W. Bush's mounting threats against Iran began about three
years ago when Iran announced it was considering setting up a non-US
Dollar based Oil Bourse, to trade its oil exports. On a vastly
smaller scale, something similar happened in November 2002, when
Iraq's Saddam Hussein switched the currency used in the Oil for Food
Program allowed by UN Sanctions after the First Gulf War in 1991,
from Dollars to Euros. That involved a relatively small amount -
around u$s 1 billion annually - but it was enough to set off alarms
in Washington and immediately put Saddam - a former Bush family
political partner - squarely in the dock of the accused, guilty of
being part of the "Axis of Evil". Thus Saddam became a target in the
"War on Terrorism", irrespective of the fact that US intelligence
agencies clearly determined that Saddam was in no way connected to
either 9/11 nor Al-Qaeda. Anyway, the Bush Administration fabricated
the gross and shameful "Weapons of Mass Destruction" charade, which
the mainstream world media joyfully backed at the time.
The result? Just four months later, in March 2003, the United States
and the United Kingdom illegally invaded Iraq, plunging that Martyr
Nation into a chaotic war that has devastated it, and has so far cost
700.000 Iraqui lives. The point that we should understand, however,
is that no talk was ever heard again of Iraq selling its oil in any
other currency but the US Dollar. From this point of view, Bush can
say without a doubt "Mission Accomplished!"
If today Iran were to decide to formally open its Oil Bourse trading
in Euros, Roubles and Yuans competing with the world's three monopoly
oil trading bourses in New York City (NYNEX- New York Mercantile
Exchange), London (International Petroleum Exchange) and (soon to
open) Dubai (Dubai Mercantile Exchange) all of which solely trade in
"Petro-Dollars", then it should come as no surprise that the United
States and its Ally / Overlords in Israel, are repeating the same
threats against Iran as they did with Iraq, calling for a unilateral
"pre-emprtive war" against Iran, again using a similar excuse: i.e.,
Iran's nuclear program allegedly bent on building "weapons of mass
destruction".
Iran, however is not Iraq: Iran's threat to trigger a run on the US
Dollar is for amounts vastly larger than anything Saddam could ever
muster, whilst Iran's
Foreign Policy is infinitely more consistent, solid and well thought
out. Today, Iran has political, trading and probably military
alliances with Russia and China and, in the European Union counts
with implicitly strong support from France and Germany.
Additionally, in spite of all the "bad press" Iran suffers in the
Western media, they have acted most prudently as reflected in the
fact that they repeatedly delayed the formal opening of the Tehran
Oil Bourse, because they fully understand that this is a very high
power "Weapon of Mass Destruction" they can wield against the United
States and its key Imperial allies, and that Washington fears it
infinitely more than any nuclear program which Iran might have. So,
they are acting very cautiously indeed.
Iran's economy minister, Davoud Danesh-Ja'fari just announced that
"Iran wants to cut its dollar-based transactions to minimum...and
contracts for months have included a clause that allows the nation to
seek payment in the euro and other currencies". (see Tehran Times,
08-Dic-06). Clearly, the Iranians are biding their time, waiting for
the right moment and are doing so firmly and with calm. When the US
Bloomberg news agency asked National Iranian Oil Company executive
director for international affairs Hojatollah Ghanimifard whether his
country would change its policy of trading its oil in Dollars, his
poker-faced reply was "not yet...". Clearly, a very intelligent
war-of-nerves to see who blinks first, that is sending brats like
Bush and Cheney climbing up the wall... It is no coincidence that the
game of chess traces its roots back to the 7th Century Persian
(Iranian) game of Chatrang....
In the Orwellian "Newspeak" that governs New World Order media,
countries like Irak and Iran (and any other country not bowing
immediately to Imperial cues) will be immediately accussed of
haboring "Weapons of Mass Destruction", which their "Mad and Rogue
Leaders and Thugs" are set to use in order to unleash a "Nuclear
Holocaust" upon the "Free World". At the proper moment and heeding
to the "Natural Clamour" of the "International Community" - just like
in the Hollywood "Cowboys 'n Indians" movies of old - in come the
US-Israeli-UK Rough-Riders, ready to save the day by destroying,
one-by-one, these members of the "Axis of Evil".
"They hate our Freedom" is what Orwellian BOB (Bush-Olmert-Blair)
says, but - read their lips: what they are really saying is "we hate
the fact that they want to be free from us"!
Add to this, the fact that since 9/11 this process has accelerated at
goose-stepping speed, with Imperial Storm Troppers stomping on
Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine; doing much arm-twisting in
Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt; whilst they have a go
at a coup-d'Etat or two in Venezuela and Bolivia - naturally all in
the name of the "Freedom" and "Democracy" - and then you have the
stage set for Imperial Global Conquest, financed by tons and tons of
paper US Dollars irresponsibly dumped on world markets by the Federal
Reserve Bank.
So, in plain English, the message is clear: "if you mess around with
the US Dollar and put it at risk as the Imperial Global Currency,
then you're gonna find out the hard way that, in the last instance,
the Dollar is backed by the fighter-bombers, missiles, aircraft
carriers, destroyers and (last but not least) nuclear bombs of the
Armed Forces of the United States".
How else can it be explained that the US spends more than 50% of the
world's entire arms and war spending (oops, sorry: "Defense" in
Newspeak), and that includes Russia, China, Europe, Indian and Iran?.
In short: today the US Dollar is backed by the Armed Forces of the
United States. (A surprising new "financial factor" for MBA's to
include in their curricula...), Nevertheless, this cannot and should
not be allowed to continue much longer.
But the Imperial Leviathan has mud feet, and the free-thinking
Peoples of the World are starting to realize that "King Dollar" is,
in fact, naked...
Iran's "Holocaust" Conference
Whilst all of this takes place, Iran hosted an International
Historical Revisionist Conference in Tehran, on the so-called Jewish
"Holocaust", that brought together independent researchers,
historians and religious leaders from the whole world, including
Frenchman Robert Faurisson and the US Rabbis Against Israel group.
Iran's hosting of this Conference brought with it "fire and
brimstone" ire from Israel, the global mainstream media,
international Zionist organizartions and the US and UK governments.
However, in spite of all the hysterical press distortions and abuse,
the facts are that this event had three clearly defined objectives
which the world press has not properly informed, much less addressed:
1) Achieving a more balanced historial perspective on this issue -
World War II cost more than 60 million lives on all the sides in
Europe and Asia. It seems, however, that mankind's attention is
almost solely focused on the suffering of 10% of those victims -
i.e., the alleged 6 million European Jews persecuted by the German
National Socialist regime. Non-Zionist Jewish researchers like
Norman Finklestein have described this phenomen as the "Holocaust
Industry", fabricated and used to generate political and public
support inside the US and other countries, favourable to Israel (see
"The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish
Suffering" - New York, 2000). Harvard University, in turn, last
March published "The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy", a paper
co-authored by the Dean of the John F Kennedy School of Government,
Stephen Walt and Chicago University professor John Mearsheimer, in
which they describe the excesive power, influence and leverage
exerted by pro-Israeli Zionist lobbies like AIPAC (American Israeli
Public Affairs Committee), which has been able to bend US Foreign
Policy so that it prioritizes Israel's national interest over and
above that of the United States itself. This reflects the overriding
power that "Israel First!" groups exert over US Foreign Policy.
Prestigous academics like Zbigniew Brzezinsksi have both welcomed and
voiced their support for this key investigation (a summary version is
available in London Review of Books (Vol. 28, No. 6, 23-Mar-2006) at
<http://www.lrb.co.uk>www.lrb.co.uk). In turn, former president
Jimmy Carter, in a recent Los Angeles Times article ("Speaking
Frankly about Israel and Palestine", LA Times, 08-Dec-06), said, "For
the last 30 years, I have witnessed and experienced the severe
restraints on any free and balanced discussion of the facts. This
reluctance to criticize any policies of the Israeli government is
because of the extraordinary lobbying efforts of the American-Israel
Political Action Committee and the absence of any significant
contrary voices. It would be almost politically suicidal for members
of Congress to espouse a balanced position between Israel and
Palestine, to suggest that Israel comply with international law or to
speak in defense of justice or human rights for Palestinians. Very
few would ever deign to visit the Palestinian cities of Ramallah,
Nablus, Hebron, Gaza City or even Bethlehem and talk to the
beleaguered residents. What is even more difficult to comprehend is
why the editorial pages of the major newspapers and magazines in the
United States exercise similar self-restraint, quite contrary to
private assessments expressed quite forcefully by their
correspondents in the Holy Land."
"The Holocaust" Myth is clearly an integral part of the Propaganda
Machine wielded by Zionist lobbies to generate unconditional support
for Israel in the United States. This support includes huge
financial and military transfers, unbending diplomatic backing and
giving Israel hundreds of nuclear weapons, a fact which Israeli PM
Olmert has just admitted is true. The mass psychological impact of
"The Holocaust" dramatizations through literally thousands upon
thousands of very well financed "documentaries", "eyewitness
reports", Hollywood movies, TV series, books, novels, plays,
articles, monuments, anniversaries, cultural events, NGO's, lobbies,
museums, school and university courses, news-clips and a myriad of
other vehicles used to shove "The Holocaust" down the world's throat,
has been so well orchestrated and stage-managed that, among all the
horrific and cruel persecutions and genocides perpetrated in modern
times, the persecution of European Jews by the National Socialist
regime is the only one that has its own "Registered Trademark": "The
Holocaust".
Other genocides, many of which were far worse than the one suffered
by the Jews, are thrown into History's waste bin: the massarcre of 3
million kulaks at the hands of Stalin in the thirties, the genocide
of 2 million Armenians at the hands of the Turks in 1904, tens of
millions of "disappeared" in the Soviet GULAG, 5 million killed in
Cambodia by Pol-Pot's Khmer Rouge, 2 million killed by the US in
Vietnam, and the now almost 2 million Iraquis killed by the Bush
Family and their Associates since the First Gulf War in 1991 to date,
to mention but a handful, are all tragic genocides where world public
awareness is close to zero. Clearly, "The Holocaust" is the only
genocide-show playing on Broadway...
2) Distinguishing between Political Mystification and rigorous
Historical Truth -
History, as a discipline, requires permanent investigation of new
sources, documents, data, information and analyses. This means that
any serious historical research must keep an open mind permeable to
whatever "revisionism" such new data and documentation may warrant.
This applies to World History, Ancient History, National History and,
of course, Modern History, as it allows us to have an increasingly
correct view of the past. This is actually notably important in the
case of Modern History (which is when the persecution of European
Jews took place), because the sources of "Modern History" are
day-to-day politics and events that, as the years and decades go by,
gradually become "history". At least that is how it should be.
However "The Holocaust" refuses to become true "History" and, to this
day, insists on remaining an autonomous Political System or creature,
having clear political objectives.
The key question then is why scientific, objective and serious
historical research regarding "The Holocaust" is banned, even banned
by law as is the case in countries like France, Canada, Germany and
Austria. This is why, for example, prestigious historians like David
Irving from the United Kingdom and researchers like Germany's Ernst
Zündel could not attend the Tehran Conference: both are presently in
prison in Austria and Germany respectively, for having voiced their
historical views on the subject. Clearly, very eloquent examples of
the true "Newspeak" definition of the "Right to Free Speech" in
today's "Democracies".
Additionally, the Tehran Conference never sought to deny that Jews
were persecuted in Europe in the thirties and forties. What it
merely sought to do was to place this entire Historical episode in
its proper perspective, determining its correct dimensions in what
refers to: how many Jews were actually killed, how they were killed
(as many died as a consequence of the hardship and destruction
wrought by the Allied bombing campaigns) and by whom they were killed
(especially, in what refers to the actions of the former Soviet
Union). Interestingly, the Zionist pro-Israeli mainstream media
implicitly admits that any such investigation poses a grave danger to
Zionism. Amidst all the insults and threats from such newspapers
like the Los Angeles Times, in their 13-Dec-06 issue however, they
ran an article called "Holocaust denial can be dangerous" which
concludes by saying that, "...attacking the legitimacy of the
Holocaust allows....(attacking) the legitimacy of Israel, which was
created by the United Nations as a result of the Holocaust. If the
first act didn't happen, then the second act wasn't necessary."
Now there's the rub! If "The Holocaust" did not happen as Zionists
say it did, then Israel should not have been created the way it was.
The whole matter would then require being fully re-assessed and
re-vamped, forcing all key players to the negotiating table to
resolve the "Arab-Israeli conflict" in a balanced manner taking into
account the interests of all the parts involved: Palestinians, the
Muslim countries, all Jews and other players - and not just the
Zionists' interests as is the case today. If it were to be proven
that "The Holocaust" has, in fact, been stage-managed for political
reasons in order to promote Israeli interests, then the State of
Israel and the United States as public players, and the global
Zionist organizations as private lobbying entities would have to
accept their share of responsbility for the damage, suffering and
hardship they have wrought upon the Middle East and the world and,
accordingly, they should be held accountable.
3) Achieving a better understanding regarding the origins of the
Arab-Israeli Conflict -
Finally, and independently of the actual results of "The Holocaust"
Conference, there still remains one key and fundamental issue: If
European Jews were persecuted by certain European countries in the
thirties and forties, why then should the Palestinians have had to
pay for those injustices? If there is one thing regarding which
there is absolutely no doubt is the fact that the Palestinians had
absolutely nothing to do with the persecution of European Jews and
"The Holocaust". The problem is that over the past seventy years,
the powerful Allies of World War II supported International Zionism
helping them steal Palestinian territory from its rightful
inhabitants, who had been there for over a thousand years, and thus
allowing Zionist guerrilla groups like The Stern Gang, Irgun Zwai
Leumi and The Hagganah to displace millions of Palestinians using the
most violent and perverse terrorist tactics since before the founding
of the State of Israel, until today. We have now seen more than six
decades of Israeli Zionists persecuting, assassinating,
discriminating, humilliating, torturing and maiming millions of
Palestinian men, women and children and attacking all who try to help
them. They could not do this without superpower support.
The key objective of "The Holocaust" Conference then, has been to
show that the persecution of European Jews by Germany may not have
occurred in the way Zionist propoganda insists that it did. It would
delegitimize the very act of creation of the State of Israel, which
would only remain supported by a weak set of half-truths, blatant
lies, distortions and rigging of reality, imposed through violence
and coersion upon the peoples of the Region. In other words, Israels
"Birth Certificate" would be shown as being fraudulent.
Within this context, president Ahmadinejad's proposal should be
seriously considered: if it was the Germans who were responsible for
the persecution of European Jews, then Germany should cede part of
its territory to the Israeli Zionists for them to found a new
sovereign Jewish State in Europe (which is where the present Israeli
ruling class came from in the first place).
This obvious conclusion would allow the whole problem of the Middle
East to be quickly resolved once and for all. It would allow rapid
devolution of all of Palestine to the Palestinians. Germany would
take upon itself a good part of the economic cost of transferring the
bulk of the Israeli population out of Palestine and into Germany (no
doubt, wealthy Germany has more than enough money to do that), and
the United States would also give financial support (for sixty years
they have giving away billions of Dollars to Israel, anyway). This
seems to be the true spirit of the much distorted and touted phrase
of "whiping Israel off the map". What the Muslim World needs is for
Israel to be removed from their Lands.
Re-founding Israel in Bavaria, for example, would give Zionist
Israelis a privileged place in the world, and would at the same time
bring rapid and lasting peace to the whole Middle East. Naturally,
the Western media and Western political leaders all react
hysterically to such an idea, yelling insults and threats. However,
none seem to have the courage nor the arguments to face this
challenge and properly address these issues the way they are being
presented. It seems to be much easier for Western leaders to slam
the door shut, distort reality, and put their ostrich heads under the
ground, instead of acting like True Statesmen, helping to resolve a
problem that is so serious, that it could very well lead to a Third
World War in the coming months.
Finally, there is also a clear moral side to this whole issue: a
solution as described above would resolve one of the greatest
collective crimes commited in modern times, which is the outright
robbery and looting of Palestine by Zionist forces backed by the
Allies of World War II.
The Argentine Second Republic Movement (MSRA - Movimiento por la
Segunda Republica Argentina), also feels that these complex issues
need to be openly and publicly debated in Argentina, so that our own
populace may fully understand what this is all really about. This is
particularly important for Argentina, considering that international
and local Zionist organizations, and the governments of the United
States and Israel have succeeded in dragging Argentine president
Néstor Kirchner to falsely accuse Iran over the terrorist bombing of
the AMIA Jewish Mutual Association in July 1994, thus giving Israel
and the US yet another "good excuse" to launch a pre-emptive military
strike against Iran.
The stakes for us are very high, because if that were to happen, then
Argentina will bear clear responsibility for helping Israel and the
US in carrying out their Imperial Wars of Conquest in the Middle
East. We have described this in detail in many of our recent Press
Releases (some, like Nos. 9 and 10 of 12-November-2006, are available
in English at <http://www.m2ra.com>www.m2ra.com).
Misinformation and propaganda in the local Argentine press
The undersigned just had his first hand experiences of how the
Zionist Propaganda Machine works when local TV talk-show host "Mauro
Viale" (a.k.a., Mauricio Goldfarb) invited me to discuss "The
Holocaust" on his program. Only minutes after the interview began,
Mr. Viale interrupted to put through a telephone call from a lady
alleging that she was "an 82 year old Holocaust survivor", whereupon
she immediately began shrieking, screaming and crying whilst Mr.Viale
gave her all the TV time in the world to express her drama. It goes
without saying that it was not possible to even begin discussing
Iran's "The Holocaust" Conference in a serious and mutually
respectful manner.
In a way, these grotesque episodes are "good news" because they show
that International Zionists have completely run out of all arguments
to support, justify and explain the crimes, lies and suffering
perpetrated by the State of Israel. They are therefore left with no
option but to insult, threaten, yell, interrupt, cry, wail, not
listen, not answer, change the subject, become hysterical, shove
away, laugh at.... In short, they will do ANYTHING in order not to
face the issues and answer the questions they are chellenged with by
independently thinking people.
Naturally, they can (for the time being) continue doing this because
every "politically correct" journalist, political analyst and
government officer knows full well that they are backed by the
immensely powerful Voice of International Zionism, lavishly financed
by tens of billions of dollars generated by their huge worldwide
Political, Economic, Military, Media and Propaganda Machine.
But time is quickly catching up with them: the day draws nigh when
the peoples of the world will see for themselves that, no matter how
loud you scream, a lie remains always just that: a lie.
Ushering in a much-needed Public Debate in Argentina
Lastly, the Argentine Second Republic Movement proposes that a
Multi-disciplinary International Conference be organized in Buenos
Aires next year, promoting an Open and Public Debate amongst all
opinion sectors, with the view of establishing the true nature of
power and leverage exerted by International and Local Zionists
organizations and interests in our country.
This is particularly important considering that many of these Zionist
lobbies active in Argentina, heed the "Israel First" cue emanating
from global Zionist lobbies and the Israeli Government, and thus
permanently promote the interests of that Foreign Power - presently
at war -, over the interests of the Argentine Republic, a fact
reflected in the Argentine Government's siding with US and Israeli
"Hawks" (Bush & Olmert) in their imminent unilateral pre-emptive war
against Iran.
Such an Open Public Debate should focus on two key factors affecting
Argentina, but which are also applicable to just about any country in
the world:
1.
Identify the true nature, extent and sources of financing of Zionist
lobbies and leveraging over public affairs in Government, among
politicians, in universities, and in the Media.
2.
Design checks and balances to ensure that no minority group can
acquire excessive power and then use it against the National
Interest. If we truly value Democracy, then we must be alert against
any minority group acquiring excessive power. After all, Democracy
is supposed to be "Government by the MAJORITY of the People", not by
a minority. Correspondingly, all illegitimate machinations,
maneuvering and lobbying on the part of miniorities - whether
domestic or foreign - geared on imposing their MINORITY interests and
objectives on the MAJORITY of the People, is clearly Un-Democratic.
This becomes especially vital when such minorities are aligned with
the interests of foreign warring powers.
