Remember the real reason why Moammar Gadhafi
is dead. He dared to propose and started creating an alternative
currency
to the world reserve U.S. Dollar. The lesson
learned in Libya is now ready for teaching in Iran. Forget all the noise
about
going nuclear, the true message is that the
banksters rule and nation states serve their ultimate masters. The hype
and disinformation
that surrounds the push for war is best
understood by examining the viewpoint of Iranian MP Kazem Jalali. The Tehran Times quotes him in saying,
"The European Union must be aware that it can never compel the Islamic Republic to succumb to their will and undermine the Iranian nation’s determination to achieve glory and independence, access modern technologies, and safeguard its rights, through the intensification of the pressure."
"The European Union is seeking to politicize the atmosphere ahead of nuclear talks with Iran and is aware that sanctions on Iran’s oil exports cannot be implemented since the world is not limited to a number of European countries"
Many political commentators
warn that an embargo is an act or war. Chris Floyd provides this observation of the recent oil embargo against Iran.
"This week, the warlords of the West took yet another step toward their long-desired war against Iran. (Open war, that is; their covert war has been going on for decades -- via subversion, terrorism, and proxies like Saddam Hussein.) On Monday, the European Union obediently followed the dictates of its Washington masters by agreeing to impose an embargo on Iranian oil.
The embargo bans all new oil contracts with Iran, and cuts off all existing deals after July. The embargo is accompanied by a freeze on all European assets of the Iranian central bank. In imposing these draconian measures on a country which is not at war with any nation, which has not invaded or attacked another nation in centuries, and which is developing a nuclear energy program that is not only entirely legal under international law but is also subject to the most stringent international inspection regime ever seen, the EU is "targeting the economic lifeline of the regime," as one of its diplomats put it, with admirable candor."
The
most important aspect of the Iranian response
lies in the way that changes oil settlement for delivery and the futile
effect
of the US/Anglo/EU imperialist dictates have
in the marketplace.
Debkafile reports that India (and probably China) will pay for Iranian oil in gold.
"India and China take about one million barrels per day, or 40 percent of Iran's total exports of 2.5 million bpd. Both are superpowers in terms of gold assets.
By trading in gold, New Delhi and Beijing enable Tehran to bypass the upcoming freeze on its central bank's assets and the oil embargo which the European Union's foreign ministers agreed to impose Monday, Jan. 23. The EU currently buys around 20 percent of Iran's oil exports."
A
more detailed analysis in Tehran Pushes to Ditch
the US Dollar provided ample arguments that an embargo will fail.
"Iran may be isolated from the United States and Western Europe, but Tehran still has some pretty staunch allies. Iran and Venezuela are advancing $4 billion worth of joint projects, including a bank. India has pledged to continue buying Iranian oil because Tehran has been a great business partner for New Delhi, which struggles to make its payments. Greece opposed the EU sanctions because Iran was one of very few suppliers that had been letting the bankrupt Greeks buy oil on credit. South Korea and Japan are pleading for exemptions from the coming embargoes because they rely on Iranian oil. Economic ties between Russia and Iran are getting stronger every year.
Then there's China. Iran's energy resources are a matter of national security for China, as Iran already supplies no less than 15% of China's oil and natural gas. That makes Iran more important to China than Saudi Arabia is to the United States. Don't expect China to heed the US and EU sanctions much – China will find a way around the sanctions in order to protect two-way trade between the nations, which currently stands at $30 billion and is expected to hit $50 billion in 2015. In fact, China will probably gain from the US and EU sanctions on Iran, as it will be able to buy oil and gas from Iran at depressed prices."
So why is the EU so determined to apply restrictions is answered in the video, Why does the EU join in sanctions against Iran?
Now that is part of the reason but for the entire story, one needs to
confront the contentions in the You Tube Israel pulling the strings
for war with Iran.
Where
it gets so confusing for the casual observer is that
any discussion that deems to be critical of
Israel is a taboo discussion in polite company. Well, when it comes to
addressing
the impending prospects of a major conflict
in the Middle East, the linkage between the deciding influences in
American policy
that coincide with a greater Israel
objective, is silenced in the old-line press and media. Therefore, the
key element to
explore is the relationship of Zionist
interests with the fundamental preservation of the paper currency
imperium of Federal
Reserve notes as the medium of payment for
oil.
Think about
this equation
in light of ultimate control. Oil is the fuel
that runs the engine of all economies. Money is the medium of exchange
that
pays for the petroleum. War is the universal
method used to avoid the breakdown of the money recycling system. In The Petro-Dollar
and the EURO, the nature of this formula is probed.
"War is always about achieving a political end. Even holy wars seek to impose a secular control over the vanquished. At the root of every political conflict, lies the MONEY component. On the scale of greed or fear, international discords can slide up or down. Depending on the circumstances or demands, governments rally domestic populations to accept their foreign interventionist goals. Claims of altruistic liberation are fictitious, when the rhetoric is stripped away and the real substance is exposed. Notwithstanding, variances of emphasis; the motive of money underpins the movements of all military confrontations."
Who
can deny that the interest of the Israeli state advances
under the Petro-Dollar system for oil
payment? The prospect of allowing an oil exporter to do business paid in
gold disrupts
the balances that maintain an uneasy
political rapprochement. Even more threatening to the globalist monopoly
is a defiant
regime like the Islamic Republic playing by
different rules that bypass central banking approval.
It
seems that the
NeoCon Christian Zionists will never be happy
until they institute a techno drone bombing campaign to shut off even
more oil
resources. With Iraqi and Libyan production
in shambles, it is now time to eliminate the Iranian resource. Spiking
oil to
$200 or more through another foreign
intervention just hikes the balance sheets of the oil traders and
banking interests.
There is no doubt that foreign aid to Israel
will rise at even a higher amount.
The
bonus is that the gold hordes of
Iran would become the spoils of war and
conveniently find their way into the storage vaults of the banksters.
This is a sweet
game as long as there is a continuous supply
of gung ho mercenaries to push the button of terror from the skies.
Moreover,
sending boots on the ground serve an even
more profitable hellhole, the War Party can demand a much higher budget,
floated
with even more debt bought by China with the
proceeds from the oil supply that are secured from the export of
Canadian shale
oil.
Miraculously,
this pattern builds an even larger, if not, greater empire. As long as
new villains are found to
master, the Iran’s of the world will become
subjugated under the background music of God Bless America.
What
fools
our fellow citizens became somewhere in the
last century. Remember the John D. Rockefeller quote: "Competition is a
sin",
especially if IRAN is the player.
Body
bags are made
from petroleum base material. In the height
of irony, the oil wars are fought to secure the substance to form the
burial cloth
for disposable soldiers. If America really
wants to stand behind the troops, their genuine duty is to prevent and
oppose the
next Middle East war.
Iran is not an existential threat to the United States.
Haaretz
reports that former Mossad chief Meir Dagan said in a television
interview,
"If Israel attacks Iran, it will be dragged
into a regional war". According to Dagan, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas
will respond with massive rocket attacks on
Israel. In that scenario, Syria may join in the fray, Dagan said on the
television
program "Uvda". Dagan added that such a war
would take a heavy toll in terms of loss of life and would paralyze
life in Israel."
An America First foreign
policy cannot wage another banksters war.
