-- During a recent visit to Caracas,
Venezuela, Iranian parliamentary speaker
Gholam Ali Hadad Adel said U.S.
opposition to Iran's nuclear program was
"only a pretext." "They
are worried that we want to be
independent," Hadad Adel said
through an interpreter.[1] Adel was
kind to use the word pretext.
A more direct statement by Adel would
have been to say that U.S. opposition to
Irans nuclear program is more of
the same hardliner propaganda coming out
of the Bush Administration, meant to drum
up public support for additional Bush
Administration sponsored, pre-emptive
strikes against nations that dare to
abandon the U.S. dollar in favor of the
euro or any other foreign currency.
Why else would
Adel say that the U.S. opposition to
Irans nuclear program was
only a pretext if he
didnt possess full knowledge of
what he believed to be the real reason
why the Bush Administration and its
supporters in the U.S. Congress have
suddenly gotten themselves all hot and
bothered over a nuclear program that has
been in play for decades and is by many
accounts, at least ten more years away
from being able to produce even a single
nuclear weapon? What did Adel mean
when he said that they are worried
that we want to be independent when
Iran is already an independent country?
No foreign army is presently occupying
Iran. It holds elections. In
2000, the U.S. applauded when the Iranian
people elected reformists to the Iranian
Parliament. In 2004, the Bush
Administration, the spread democracy
by spraying bullets administration,
frowned when those same Iranian voters
elected the resurgent conservatives into
power once again. The point here is
that Iran is already independent by all
accounts, so what did Adel mean when he
said that the Bush Administration and its
NEO-CON supporters are worried
that Iran wants to be independent?
When mining
alternative media sources (the mainstream
media in the United States is not and
will not report this information) to
catch a glimpse of what Iran is
attempting to become independent of, the
only plausible explanation to be
uncovered suggests that Iran wants to
become independent of the U.S. dollar.
It is of great importance to understand
that only those countries that are
adversarial to the U.S. dollar have
earned the scorn of Bushs Global,
Big Brother Machine.
Iraq stopped using
U.S. dollars in 2000 under the U.N.
monitored Oil for Food Program. Two
months after the U.S. invaded Iraq, all
purchases of Iraqi oil were returned to
petrodollars once again. Venezuela
President Hugo Chavez, who is considered
a dangerous adversary by the Bush
Administration, has declared war on the
U.S. dollar. In October 2005,
Chavez announced that Venezuela was ready
to move the countys
foreign-exchange holdings out of the
dollar and into the euro[2]
Now Iran and
Venezuela have joined together to gain
independence from the U.S. Dollar. Chavez
supports the opening of the Iran Oil
Bourse on March 20, 2006. The Iran
Oil Bourse will challenge U.S. dollar
supremacy in global oil market
transactions executed on the New York
Mercantile Exchange and Londons
International Petroleum Exchange by
creating the opportunity for countries to
shift foreign-exchange holdings out of
dollars and into euros or other
currencies.
In his February 1,
2006 Energy Bulletin: (Trading oil in
euros does it matter?)
mathematical technician, Coilin Nunan
wrote, If the denomination of these
important imports, in particular oil,
were to move away from the dollar, then
rich countries would move their reserves
into other currencies and consequently
the dollar would lose a lot of its
importance.
What the Coilin
statement means to America is that if the
dollar loses importance, the United
States will lose importance on the world
stage. And if the U.S. loses the
spotlight, so does the Bush
Administration, particularly in its
ability to orchestrate world affairs.
And while the ultra-rich that control the
elected elite in the United States fear
losing power and prominence throughout
the world and have proven that they will
resort to war to retain power, it will be
the American middle-class and poor that
will be called upon once again to fight,
and if necessary, die for their country
under less than creditable and honorable
circumstances. Invading other
countries to sustain the value of a
non-governmental money system is not
honorable warfare.
It is not by
chance that the Bush Administration and
the NEO-CON targets countries like
Iraq, Iran, and Venezuela as adversarial.
All three had or have two things in
common very large oil reserves and
a desire to weaken the United States by
declaring war on the petrodollar. The
fact that the United States, and
particularly, the Bush Administration
knows that North Korea already has
nuclear weapons that are in the hands of
a deranged and disturbed, if not
clinically insane leader, Kim Jong il,
but is for all intensive purposes, doing
little if anything about it, serves as
more circumstantial evidence that the
Iranian nuclear threat
propaganda churning out of the government
and banking cartel controlled mainstream
media, is just that, war propaganda
designed to convince the American people
that there is a new bogeyman out there
that wants to destroy our way of life
with weapons of mass destruction.
It is sad to
report that much of the White House
propaganda regarding Iran is having its
desired effect on the mainstream media
and consequently, the American people.
Most Americans believe that Iran is a
nuclear threat right now, when it is not.
If you poll one thousand Americans and
ask if they have ever heard of the Iran
Oil Bourse, at best, maybe twenty will
have knowledge of it. If asked what
a petrodollar is, again most Americans
will have no clue, not because
theyre clueless, but because they
believe that what they read in their
newspapers and see on the evening news
are complete news stories, when they are
not.
Heres the
headline you will not read or hear from
the mainstream media, but no doubt
should. America is under attack.
Iran and Venezuela have declared war on
the petrodollar. The reason why
the U.S. dollar is vulnerable to attack
is because our currency is printed and
loaned to the federal government by a
syndicate of private banking institutions
doing business as the Federal Reserve.
The money system, the Federal Reserve
System, is a funny money system
that makes money out of nothing and loans
it to the government of the United States
at face value plus interest. The
remedy for this currency crisis is
to abolish the Federal Reserve Act of
1913, eliminate the 16th
Amendment commonly referred to as the
income tax amendment, and return the
Secretary Treasurer back under the
control of the U.S. Congress, as well as
the printing and management of all
our nation's currency. Finally, all
currency and coin of the United States
must be permanently anchored to a gold or
silver standard.
These objectives
might seem impossible to implement.
But when weighed against the alternative;
killing and maiming while being
killed and maimed, all to protect the
interests of a private corporation
banking syndicate that created, funds,
and has cleverly disguised itself as a
pillar of Americanism under the War on
Terror canopy as it sinks the U.S.
taxpayer so deep into debt that no
peaceful means will ever achieve
discharge of the debt, and suddenly,
fixing our own countys glaring
defect, our fiat money system, so that
the United States no longer has to fight
wars to sustain the value of its currency
does not seem like that difficult of a
task when compared to the price the U.S.
pays to wage war.

Letter from an American friend:
Hi
, Sadly, a
lot of people are going to get
hurt in this showdown no matter which way
it goes. But, you can't really
doubt that what is happening in the field
of international finance was, and
is, inevitable. People will
endure abuse of power only so long. The
world, especially the so-called third
world, is fed up with the
predatory fiat dollar
imperialism. You might say,
the natives are running from
the plantation. And, as my old
boss used to say "soon it will be
like herding cats."
I
said four years ago, that if there was an
invasion of Iraq it would be
a catastrophe for the USA from which
it would take generations to recover, if
ever. The military disaster in Iraq
has demonstrated to the Iranians and the
Venezuelans, and frankly the rest of the
world, that the U.S.
Collossus has feet of
clay. Is it any wonder
that the Iranians are commiting economic
rebellion. They are defying
the western banking and military
power complex, because they now know
they can get away with it. I am
surprised it took this long.
As you know, perception is
everything. Once the illusion of
military impotence takes hold, then there
is no way to maintain control.
Ultimately
what we are witnessing with all the
sabre rattling over Iran and
the faux issue of nuclear arms
(easier to terrify the peasants into
action) is nothing less than what
could be the death rattle
of the morally bankrupt, self
destructive, babylonian money system that
has sucked the economic marrow out
of this nation and exploited the
rest of world for the last
100 years. The European
international bankers that control our
entire monetary system
through the FRB have driven the
USA to near economic, financial and
military ruin. And it is not over
yet. I don't see an easy way
out. Failure to stop the Iranians
will undoubtedly cause a collapse of
the dollar as the world reserve
currency with all the dire economic
consequences associated with such an
event. And, attacking Iran will be
an unmitigated disaster for any
number of reasons not the least of which
we could see a collapse of the global,
oil based, economy.
Once again, as
you correctly pointed out,
it is the banksters who have driven
this nation and the rest of the world to
the brink of war. The banksters,
the people who really run the
world, have
cleverly taken western christendom
and eastern islam, and like two alley
cats, tied their tails together and
thrown them over the geo political
clothesline. I can only be
sure of two things. The
banksters will profit no matter how
things sort out. They always do.
And when the blood is spraying
they will be safe from all the
violence. They are always safe.
"War is a racket."

the best ,,,,Protect
yourself........Choose life!!!!
